Saturday 20 April2013 marked a very special day In our School's history as Girls Grammar held its first Open Day for our brand new Sports Campus at Fig Tree Pocket Parents, teachers, students, and community members explored the grounds and were shown the many ways the campus can be utilised To the sound of the jazzy, upbeat tunes delivered by Big Band. the Mothers Group and Fathers Group provided SCOnes and sausages for those wanting to picnic on the grounds. The Antipodeans Abroad girls seized the opportunity for fundraising for their community projects un Laos and Vietnam by offering their expert face painting services to the many attendees The main events of the day displayed the campus in all of its glory. A cricket game that raised funds for breast cancer awareness was played by the Senior cricket girls on one oval, while a touch football game between old girls and current girls was being battled simultaneously on another. The final event was a timed run of the proposed cross country course by the team, while everyone cheered the girls on

..

There is no doubt that this campus will become an Integral part of life at Girls Grammar. Throughout the year girls have competed in training sessions and matches at Fig Tree Pocket, even hosting other schools for aGSSSA competitions. The campus has also seen several Grammar Goes Green working days with teachers, the Fathers Group, and students from Brisbane Grammar School and Brisbane Girls Grammar School assisting in the environmental clean-up of the creek and bush surrounding the campus. This excellent facility is already being put to great use for many aspects of school life and this will develop and expand further in years to come
