BLUE DAYS

In Term 2, Blue Day entailed a ‘Bluesfest’ theme. Girls channelled their inner festival vibe, donning blue glitter and fun buns. The festival vibes continued at lunchtime when girls filled the dance floor. The Year 12 girls led the way, encouraging students to express their individuality through their dance moves. In line with the Sports Motto, ‘G-Up’, Cross Country runners were joined by the whole School to complete a war-cry, increasing the team’s morale. Following a long-standing tradition, in Term 3, girls decked out in denim jackets, jeans, skirts, and overalls for the third Blue Day. The day provided an opportunity for the girls to support and encourage the School’s gymnasts and rowers. The dance floor came alive with girls from all year levels supporting the final season fixtures of the year. As one of the three pillars of the 2018 School Motto—Pride, Individuality and Empowerment, the theme allowed girls to reflect on their achievements and abilities and appreciate the diversity of the Girls Grammar Community. Each Blue Day provided an opportunity to raise funds for the School charities, The Malala Fund and The Smith Family. Two unique badges were made for each Blue Day, designed by talented Girls Grammar artists, proving a huge hit for students and teachers alike. Sally Finch (12H) and Camille Levy (12L)

This year, the buzz and excitement surrounding Blue Days spread beyond the School grounds, reaching the competition pool, track, courts and fields. Each term, a Blue Day with a unique theme was held to celebrate and encourage the School’s athletes before their respective QGSSSA events. The first theme of the year was ‘Blue Hawaii’, which saw the School come alive in a sea of blue. Girls dressed up in an array of Hawaiian-inspired outfits and a wave of blue decorations filled the senior tables. The ocean setting was fitting as we were sending off our QGSSSA Swimming competitors for a successful evening of racing. The Year 7 students experienced their first taste of the blue spirit and the Grammar sisterhood.
