2024 School Magazine

EDIT ORIAL

EDITIORIAL BGGS SCHOOLBOOK 2024

Moving forward with the simple yet iconic theme of our uniform, we sought to entwine this motif throughout the Magazine. We created a sense of connection and cohesion throughout with a ‘scrapbooked’ look, emphasising how, just like our community, the Magazine was made together, with love. Additionally, this handmade look complemented the use of ribbons and embroidery we incorporated to allude to the unity of our beloved formal uniform while embracing this year’s school motto. With unity and teamwork being a pivotal theme of this Magazine, the tireless work of many individuals came together to produce the print copy you hold now: from the Publications Committee, whose ideas and suggestions formed the backbone of the Magazine; to the captains, staff, and students of the broader School community who contributed to each page. None of this

Welcome to the 2024 Brisbane Girls Grammar School Magazine. Embracing this year’s school motto— Together strong, in blue we belong #tietheblue —we have strived to create not just a magazine but a monument to tie together and encapsulate the year 2024. Our motto this year brought with it a sense of kinship and community, highlighting the strength of our Girls Grammar sisterhood. With the unity we students create at the forefront of our minds, we explored the physical attributes that help to unite us all, finding our School uniform to be truly at the heart of it. From the iconic blue ribbon that makes a Grammar girl stand out in any crowd, to the more subtle aspects such as the emblem embroidered on the blouse pocket and the achievements colouring our blazer pockets, our school uniform stands to set us apart from others while acknowledging the strong bonds of our sisterhood.

would have been possible without the aid of Ms Talbot—our Publications Coordinator—and the School Communications team whose hours of work ensured that this project was realised seamlessly. Now, please enjoy the strengths and achievements of our royal blue community as you read this year’s Magazine. Jasmin Burgess (12E) PUBLICATIONS CAPTAIN
