BLUE DAY ISABEL HARDY (12H)

2014’s first Blue Day certainly set the Girls Grammar sporting season off to a great start. The festivities began at 7 am, with the Student Council’s handmade blueberry pancake stall providing much needed energy for an especially big day. Before classes started, a cloud of blue balloons, streamers and banners settled on the Year 12 tables and all the girls donned a little something blue, whether it be a ribbon, a badge or a full-body onesie. By lunch time, we were all ready to cheer on our swimmers on the dance

floor, and we even had a special appearance from some French exchange students. The day was finished with a war cry, before we quickly dashed up to the bathrooms and rubbed off our war paint for the day’s final lessons. Not only was this day a chance to support our swimmers and have some fun, but it was also a great fundraising opportunity with the Student Council raising almost $300 for our School charity, which this year focuses on Indigenous health and literacy. The fantastic support from everyone passed on to the following night, when our QGSSSA swim team came an amazing sixth place. ■

BOOKS2DEVOUR ISABEL HARDY (12H)

The Books2Devour competition provides a fantastic opportunity for us to relax in a completely ‘novel’ way in the middle of the term. It gives us a really fun way to show off our creativity in a friendly environment. Books2Devour also brings a lot of joy to everyone as the library fills with students admiring everyone’s hard efforts. The Libellum Society and the library staff always do such an amazing job at organising the competition, and the cakes are becoming more and more amazing each year! ■
