FATHER DAUGHTER DINNER CAITLIN O’MEARA (11R)

The Father Daughter Dinner was a great success once again this year. We were treated to an amazing musical performance by the Gillies Ensemble winners, Isabella Busby (11M), Linh-Dan Pham (11O) and Linnea Cain (11W). My dad was particularly amused at the small uniform shop guest speaker, Mr McCready, had acquired with a family of five Grammar girls. It was a great opportunity to catch up with my dad amidst a very busy term and to get to know other girls in the School and their fathers. Mr McCready made an interesting point in his speech about how fathers always miss out on photos with their daughters because they are always the ones behind the camera, so my dad and I made sure to take home the picture we had taken that night!

MOTHER DAUGHTER DINNER SOPHIE MCKENDRY (12H) AND MADELEINE GANDHI (12O)

This year’s Mother Daughter dinner was a wonderful night held at the Victoria Park Golf Course in May. Usually the night’s entertainment consists of a student debate, but in the School’s 140th year it was time for something new. Ringing true to our 2015 motto, ‘inspire your sisters old and new, 140 years in royal blue’, the night’s entertainment took all guests on a journey of the various uniforms sported by old and new Grammar

girls over the last 140 years in a fun and laughter-filled fashion parade. It was a wonderful night for all who attended, giving a chance for mothers and daughters to enjoy each other’s company and mix with friends, old and new. Also lovely was the opportunity as a current Grammar girl to meet future students, and give them some insight into all the great things they can expect as new Grammar sisters.
