Thank you so much for the New Parents’ Welcome Reception tonight. It was an excellent event and we are grateful for the opportunity to connect with both

the School and fellow parents. LARISSA PATON (current parent)

I love that Antips is still so strong at Girls Grammar. I still remember my own journey to Peru very fondly. KATHRYN CALLIONI (LEEKE, 2004) Thank you so much for a lovely morning at BGGS on Wednesday. We really enjoyed watching the student assembly and the beautiful morning tea afterwards. It is lovely to be part of these milestones and to have a glimpse into life at school. We feel sure that the girls are in good hands, with your guidance, and will have a very exciting year. HELEN AND STEVEN SHERINGTON (current parents) I would like to thank you, your staff, and charming girls from Years 11 and 12, for having made our visit to the School on Saturday 21 October a most memorable occasion or those of us who commenced in 1954...I was awe-struck by the opportunities you are able to present to your students. They are fortunate indeed! RHYL BENNETT (CRAWFORD, 1954)
