Welcome to the Brisbane Girls Grammar School 2018 School Magazine —the latest edition in a long-held tradition of preserving memories and a memento to share with students, family and friends. This year, Grammar girls were brought together in an unprecedented way, as they were asked to ‘Add their slice’ to the Girls Grammar ‘P.I.E’, as part of the Student Council’s motto which promoted three main themes: Pride; Individuality; and Empowerment .

This motto provided inspiration for the 2018 magazine, reflected in the artwork shared throughout. The colours, taken from our nine Houses represent the diversity of the School. As a school rich in creativity, compassion, intellect and athleticism, it seems opportunistic to encompass Girls Grammar in a single magazine. Yet, the combined efforts of staff and students this year has resulted in a wonderful document that when revisited in 20, 30 or 50 years from now, will remind us of the sense of pride, individuality and empowerment we enjoyed as Grammar girls. In finishing, I thank Ms Eadie, Mrs Lowry, Ms Woods from our Communications Department and the 2018 Publications Committee for their invaluable contribution to this year’s School Magazine . The committee, under the expert guidance of Ms Eadie, and leadership of Publications Captain, Alexandra Laherty (12M), worked tirelessly from Term 1, collecting articles, working with designers and attending co-curriculum events to capture the images that fill these pages. While this is undoubtedly a laborious job, it was an extremely rewarding experience. On behalf of the Publications Committee, I hope you enjoy this year’s magazine and will always remember to ‘Add your slice’. Lana Trout (12B) PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE
