2018 School Magazine

BI-GRAMMAR Undoubtedly, one of the most anticipated events in the Year 12 calendar is Bi-Grammar, the three-part competition between the senior cohorts of Brisbane Girls Grammar School and Brisbane Grammar School. The 2018 competition commenced in Term 2, with the Year 12 cohort competing in the Touch Football competition. Our three teams of six rotated on and off the field as a sea of blue lined the sideline and other year-levels watched on from the lower levels of C Block. Despite placing second, the spirit of the girls on and off the field was a win in our books. Not accepting defeat, the girls were on the hunt for revenge in Term 3. With a landslide victory in pre-game antics in the form of an inspirational video, Girls Grammar was already one step ahead for the looming netball game. The girls stepped on the court looking sharp and ready for battle. Unsurprisingly, the boys from next door suffered a devastating 7 – 1 loss. Despite their questionable judgement of the meaning of ‘contact’ and choice of morph suits, we thank Brisbane Grammar School for their efforts on the day. FOUNDATION DAY On Wednesday 7 March 2018, Brisbane Girls Grammar School held its annual Foundation Day Assembly, celebrating 143 years since the School’s foundation in 1875. In her at address at Assembly, Principal, Ms Euler, reflected on the beginnings of the School and Sir Charles Lilley’s extraordinary vision to conceive a radical ‘experiment’, providing girls with the same educational opportunities as boys. Following Assembly, each House celebrated the School’s birthday with traditional blue and white cake. The Principal and 2018 Head Girls led the celebrations with a cake-cutting ceremony outside the Main Building. Helena Gandhi (12O) and Catherine McLeod (12E)

In Term 4, there was the tie-breaking Spelling Bee. After a round of preliminaries, Girls Grammar’s best spellers took on their equivalents at Brisbane Grammar School. Despite the girls’ best efforts, a few contentious decisions saw Brisbane Grammar School prevail, winning the Bi-Grammar 2018 title. Greta Hopsick (12B) and Shivali Raj (12G)
