2018 School Magazine

Throughout 2018, the girls and young women of Brisbane Girls Grammar School have brought to life the 2018 Student Council’s motto, the themes of which are Pride, Individuality, and Empowerment . FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Encouraging all girls to ‘add their slice’—to bring their individual talents, skills and perspectives to their roles as Grammar girls— the motto reinforced that it is the unique contributions of the individual that create and sustain our rich student community. As a lifelong memento for all 2018 students, the School Magazine features stories and images that capture beautifully the essence of the motto: to celebrate the diversity within our School community; be proud of the individual contributions of all students; and empower Grammar girls to strengthen and maintain the bond that forms the Girls Grammar sisterhood. We are a School that sets high expectations for students and encourages rigorous investigation and intellectual risk-taking. Providing experiences outside the traditional classroom setting is an invaluable aspect of learning and development, and as displayed in the pages that follow, Grammar girls have dared to test the unfamiliar through fascinating and adventurous activities throughout the year. The breadth and depth of experiences displayed is great testament to the broad, liberal educational ethos of the School, and the spirit and commitment demonstrated by students and teachers throughout 2018.

It has been my continued pleasure to witness the acumen and energy of every Grammar girl, and to work with teaching and professional staff who each day throughout our busy academic year have dedicated themselves to educate and care for our students. To the Year 12 class of 2018, as you embark on the next stage of your life—as Grammar Women—your teachers and I wish you every happiness and hope your pathways are challenging and rewarding.
