The 2013 motto - 'Embrace the mewl Link the Blue!' ha resonated strongly throughout the School community over this entire exhilarati g ye r

While I'm not 'new' to Girls Grammar as such. having taught here from 2000 to 2007. this year marked the beginning of a new era for the School when I became Principal. I am very grateful for the welcoming support the School community has given me throughout the year The most exciting 'new' that we embraced in 2013 was our Sports Campus at Fig Tree Pocket. One of the first special occasions in this very eventful year was the Open Day in April where we explored the possibilities and potential of this green gem of a property. The special feature in this Magezihe reminds us all of a special day where the best of Girls Grammar was on show Girls were challenged by and revelled in the Marrepatta experience again this year. with Outdoor Education camps. as well as maths and art camps. During their time at Marrapatta, girls develop resilience. Independence, teamwork and leadership - and. as can be seen by the photos in the Marrapatta section. they also have a lot of fun We are very fortunate to have three beautiful campuses - linked by the life-force of Girls Grammar Blue - providing complementary learning environments for our girls

It seems almost impossible to fully capture the breadth and depth of the Girls Grammar educational experience. Music concerts, sporting competitions. drama and dance performances. overseas trips. social celebrations, creative arts showcases, community events. service activities, and academic achievements are just some of the girls' accomplishments on display in this Megaz/he. Our girls' industry in so many areas. their spirit and goodwill towards one another. their willingness to give their best. their dedication to the service of others, their love of learning and their whole- hearted engagement in school life makes me very proud to lead th!s School To the Class of 2013, your teachers and I wish you happy. exciting and fulfilling times as you embark upon the next stages of your lives. Rather than saying goodbye, we bid you au fever/ and look forward to seeing you again as young women embracing all the opportunities. that you have worked so hard for, with confidence and integrity
