Junior School Capital Campaign

With the steadfast support of the Board of Trustees, donors, and the wider community, Brisbane Girls Grammar School is poised to enhance its strong foundation in secondary education for girls with the opening of the Junior School in 2026. Together, the Girls Grammar community can ensure the School extends its exceptional education for girls into Years 5 and 6, empowering generations to come. Excellence in Academic Endeavours Bursary—made possible by Mrs Kay Bryan OAM The School was honoured to receive an extraordinary contribution from Mrs Kay Bryan OAM, a woman whose generosity will have a profound and lasting impact. This remarkable gift enabled the creation of a perpetual bursary, which will be awarded annually starting in 2025 to a student entering Year 7 who would not otherwise have the means to access a Girls Grammar education. This transformative bursary represents a lasting investment in young women, expanding access to the opportunities of a Girls Grammar education and inspiring excellence for generations to come.

Greening the CLC

The Cherrell Hirst Creative Learning Centre (CLC) greening project will offer students an inner city oasis in the heart of the campus. This project will provide a vibrant green space—part of a larger initiative to cultivate small forests and landscaped gardens across the grounds. The CLC greening was made possible by donations received during Giving Day 2024 and aligns with our Strategic Design 2023–2025 , enhancing sustainable and enriching spaces for students.
