MOTHER AND DAUGHTER DINNER O n Thursday 20 June, Mothers Group hosted the annual Mother and Daughter Dinner at the Sofitel Brisbane Central. The evening provided an opportunity to meet other members of the School community, including new families commencing at Girls Grammar in 2020.

Highlights included a musical performance by the School’s Flute Ensemble and a debate between Grammar Women (Lucinda Duke (Head Girl, 2017), Isabel Nolan (2017) and Ellen Winning (2017)) and Grammar girls (Miah Clarke (12B), Abbey Grice (11E) and Portia Ward (12W)), adjudicated by Sadie MacDonald (2014). Despite the wit and humour on display from the Girls Grammar team the Grammar Women team secured the win arguing ‘mum knows best’. The evening was a wonderful celebration of the unique bond between mothers and their daughters.

FATHER AND DAUGHTER DINNER

T he 2019 Father and Daughter Dinner provided an opportunity for Grammar girls to celebrate the unique bond between fathers and their daughters. More than 400 fathers and daughters attended the evening which was a lovely opportunity to meet other members of the School community, including new families commencing at Girls Grammar in 2020. Guests enjoyed a musical performance from the winners of the Gillies Vocal Ensemble Competition. Another highlight was the Trivia Quiz, hosted by the witty, Mr Stephen Fogarty, which saw four Year 12 girls battle it out against four fathers. Some healthy competition was on display throughout the night, however the Year 12 girls managed to come away with a win. Ellen Dowling (12B)
