2019 School Magazine

From the Principal Ms Jacinda Euler

T hroughout 2019, the girls and young women of Brisbane Girls Grammar School have brought to life the 2019 Student Council’s motto: ‘Our Spirit is True, Our Heart is Blue’. As a lifelong memento for all 2019 students, the Publications Committee has created this School Magazine , which features a selection of stories and images that beautifully capture from all Year levels the essence of the motto—love, spirit and gratitude. This year was another exciting year at Girls Grammar—full of challenging endeavours, deepened relationships, some astonishing achievements and meaningful moments. From the classroom to the stage, sporting field and concert hall, the diversity of Grammar girls’ accomplishments this year have been extraordinary. We are a School that sets high expectations for students and fosters a learning culture that encourages rigorous investigation and intellectual risk taking. Providing experiences outside the classroom setting is an invaluable aspect of learning and development at the School.

Students have had the opportunity to be involved in a variety of pursuits including service, community and leadership programs, performing and visual arts, music ensembles, sporting teams, study tours, debating and numerous special interest clubs. The breadth and depth of experiences displayed is testament to the educational ethos of the School, and the spirit and commitment demonstrated by students and teachers throughout 2019. There is so much to celebrate and be proud of, and the School Magazine artfully captures the individual and collective contributions of all students, and celebrates the Girls Grammar sisterhood. 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 display uncompromising commitment to educating and caring for our students. To the Year 12 class of 2019, as you embark on your lives beyond the picket fence—as Grammar Women— I know your time at our School will be as much a part of your history as it will ours, and hope that you will approach your future with confidence.
