140 YEAR ANNIVERSARY BALL

ON 28 MARCH, 600 MEMBERS OF THE GIRLS GRAMMAR COMMUNITY CONGREGATED AT CITY HALL TO CELEBRATE 140 YEARS OF EXCEPTIONAL SCHOLARSHIP AT OUR ANNIVERSARY BALL. Arriving to the joyous sounds of the Brisbane Girls Grammar School Big Band, guests mingled in the City Hall forecourt before being ushered into the Main Hall to the strains of City Hall’s magnificent organist Christopher Wrench. Once inside, guests heard from Chair of the Board of Trustees Ms Elizabeth Jameson and Principal Ms Jacinda Euler on the history and achievements of our School and its role as a leader in educating girls. Two photo montages were shown, one capturing the history of the School in a carefully scripted ‘then and now’ narrative, and one capturing the spirit that makes Girls Grammar the vibrant and extraordinary school it is today. The evening was superbly emceed by old girl Mrs Marie-Louise Theile (Schubert, 1982), attendees were entertained by band Savvy — the dance floor a true sign of an enjoyable evening. An impromptu school war cry led by ‘young’ old girls showed the Girls Grammar spirit is as strong as ever.
