I would like to say thank you to each and every person at BGGS, who have all contributed to a wonderful five years of not just schooling, but life in general for my daughter. TRACEY JACKSON (PAST PARENT) Thank you for hosting the Parent Information Evening for the Year 7, 2022 enrolments. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and found the presentations to all be very informative and comprehensive. We particularly enjoyed the presentation from the two Head Girls. They certainly did themselves, their families and their School proud. MEGAN O’DWYER (FUTURE PARENT)
