BLUE DAYS

T he spirit of the School was on full display for the first Blue Day of the year, held to encourage our QGSSSA swimmers. he theme of the day was ‘Under the Sea’, so there was plenty of festive fun and girls were decked out in beach wear and carrying their pool toys. Artists among our Student Council tried their hands at under-the-sea face painting designs and sold badges to raise funds for the School Charity, Rural Aid. The dance floor was packed and a giant shell provided some fantastic photo opportunities. The day was a great success and set the standard for school spirit for the rest of the year. Fiona Brown (12G) and Amelia Perrin (12H) T he theme for this year’s second Blue Day was ‘Big Blue Barnyard Bash’, encouraging the entire student body to band together and show our gratitude for being back on campus following remote learning. Everyone wore barnyard attire, so there was plenty of plaid, denim, animal print and cowboy hats on display. The day featured a gratitude installation on the pool lawn and everyone was invited to write down something for which they were grateful. Selby McIlroy (12W) and Claire Saggers (12O)

T he theme for the final Blue Day was ‘Love’, celebrating love for our school and the diversity of our students. While organised by the Student Council, the incentive behind Love Day reflected the growing interest in diverse community representation by the student body. The School was an explosion of colour. At the front gates, Student Council members sold exclusively-made Love Day badges and stickers, and they painted rainbows, flags and blue hearts on countless faces. A 2020 mural on G Block wall became a sea of multi-coloured hand prints as they day progressed. The celebration ended on the Pool Lawn with a socially distanced picnic for students in Years 7 to 12.
