Antipod, e ", wenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the Bare harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. " mark Twatn in December 2010,43 intrepid Year 12 girls (and 6 intrepid staff!) embarked on the fourth Antipodeans Abroad expedition to Cambodia. After 12 months of team and individual preparation, the three travel groups were well-equipped to make the most of their expedition. The tri-focus of personal leadership, teamwork and community service meant that the experience was a o111mination of skills developed over the girls' five years at Gin. minar. The expeditions are just for Year 12 students and there are connections made between girls, staff and the broader world. Having traveited to Peru, india and Africa in previous years, we are also looking forward to seeing "Grammar Blue" in Borneo in 2011. MB 8 Megarry, 00-0, ,,,"ntor

The Kipsten Jack Memorial Leukaemia Committee (KJMLC) is the School's longest continuously ruinUiig service group. The Committee was originaUy formed to commemorate Kipsten Jack, a. past student who died from Ieukaemia, by raising funds for organisations that support cancer sufferers and by raising awareness for cancer. During the year the committee has organised a diverse range of fundraising activities including Roses for Mother's Day, a Formal Fashion Parade, a helium banoon and Krispy Kreme stall on Open Day and several bake stalls. The School was turned into a sea of yeUow on Daffodil Day with many students purchasing daffodils in support of cancer research and in October many staff and students donned colourful bandannas in a variety of stylish variations to support CanTeen. A highlight of the year for the committee was a visit from Barbara Bartigan, Director of Support Services

for the Leukaemia Foundation. She has been with the Foundation for 20 years working with patients and their families as they go through treatment for Ieul"aemia. it was obvious she touched the hearts of many of the students winlst also raising awareness within the Grammar community. it was wonderful to be able to give her a cheque to help in their ongoing work. a'e"", for Bach <. 8W> and REegan DoD, ume <1.80>
