MOTHER DAUGHTER DINNER This year’s Mother Daughter Dinner was a terrific night, held at the Victoria Park Golf Course in June. The entertainment consisted of speeches delivered by mothers who are Old Girls, and their daughters. Both (Erica Schmelzer (12E) a girl from Year 9 and their mothers) delivered engaging speeches, giving present and future BGGS families an inside look into the dynamics of raising a Grammar girl. It was truly a wonderful night for all who attended, giving a chance for future Year 7s to meet some of their cohort, as well as connect to current Grammar girls, and gain an inside look into the School community.

The night also gave mothers and daughters the chance to enjoy each other’s company and celebrate their shared experiences.

PINK STUMPS DAY Pink Stumps Day this year was a huge success for all involved! The celebration took place at our Rangakarra fields, where we were scheduled to face up against Clayfield College. The afternoon began with a beautiful pink afternoon tea, put on by the squad members, and concluded with a friendly game of cricket. Visitors were asked to make a gold coin donation, and the money raised from this event, combined with funds raised from our School stall and donation box totalled over $600. We are proud to say that these funds will go towards supporting the McGrath Foundation in providing breast care nurses to families all over Australia. We would like to thank all those who contributed to the success of the afternoon.
