Jewel drops – section of “Metamorphosis” window, Kathleen Lilley Building

One of the many elements that sets Brisbane Girls Grammar School apart and contributes to its

remarkable place in the education of young women is the collection of stained-glass windows in two

of its buildings. In a secular, non-denominational school, there is no chapel to adorn with stained

glass religious motifs for spiritual reflection. Nevertheless, the stained-glass windows that have been

installed in the Main Building and in the Kathleen Lilley Building are designed for contemplation on

the power of education for young women.
