The hockey season began with the squads training In Term 11 Being Inspired by the Olympics. the Brisbane Girls Grammar hockey teams used this motivation to perform to the best of their ability. With five hockey teams Including Year 8. two Intermediate teams, Senior A team and an Open team. the Brisbane Girls Grammar hockey girls became known as a large threat to all the other teams. This threat was proven with the Year 8 team and intermediate I team winning premierships undefeated. the Open and Intermediate 2 team placing second; and the SeniorA team placing fourth overall. A hockey team was setocted to participate In the Queensland Schools Cup Competition

in Term I, 2012 many of the Open team sailors had their first experience at team racing. and even our old hands learned new tricks. Despite the challenges of the opposing three-boat team trying to push our girls out of the way to w!n the race. our sailors stood their ground well and in many cases. used their fleet racing skills to overtake and win the race Fortunately there was only one Incident with a swarm of jellyfish and the girls were

laughing about it by the time we came ashore
