2016 School Magazine

TEDX TEDx was a very enriching experience for everyone involved. The girls who were interested in the event reserved a place in one of two sessions that took place during the school day. Upon arrival at the Boys Grammar campus, we were brought into the library with fellow Boys Grammar students and were greeted with bottled water and a notepad each. We listened to six speeches that ranged in topic from the arts and science to politics and philosophy. Three of our own Girls Grammar students were brave enough to take part in the event. Rosie Cavdarski (12W) was very informative and engaging while speaking about the war on drugs in America and Penelope Nash (12R) and Lucinda Jolly (12L) performed a vibrant poem for everyone as an intermission between the speeches. Everyone left the seminar feeling like they had learnt something new. FATHER DAUGHTER DINNER Always a highlight on the social calendar, this year’s Father Daughter Dinner was no exception, bringing together Girls Grammar fathers and daughters for a truly special night of entertainment. Held on Thursday 25 August 2016 at the Victoria Park Golf Complex, this year’s dinner provided an opportunity for current and incoming girls and their fathers to celebrate the special bond between a father and daughter, along with introducing new Girls Grammar fathers to the Fathers Group, which provides assistance to the School – especially at the outdoor education campus, Marrapatta. This year’s entertainment included a stunning performance by the winners of the Gillies Vocal Competition, and a talk by 2012 Head Girl Phoebe Tronc and her father Dr Graham Tronc on the joys and importance of the father-daughter relationship. As always, the night proved to be a huge success, allowing fathers and daughters alike to sit back, relax, and enjoy a night of quality time and bonding. EMMA KENDALL 12B
