SCHOOL LEADERS 2003

For Brisbane Girls Grammar this year, our community has been defined as one where everyone counts and everyone cares. The support extended to others is extensive and not only at the more high profile events like the Gala, School plays and sports carnivals, but hockey matches and debates. Another example of this tremendous support was when just before we sat the QCS Exam the Year 11s circled us with their war cries and shouts of good luck. It was great for the Year 12s to know that they are being thought of at this crucial time. Whilst exam time is always stressful for students, we felt fully prepared and we were so grateful for all of the extra hours that staff put in to assist and support us. Open Day was exemplary of our community. So many people put in so much effort, helping each other and enjoying themselves as well. The buildings and facilities looked fabulous but it was the enthusiasm of all involved that was the biggest credit to the School. A highlight for us was the welcome for the Year 8 group for 2004. More than 200 of our 2004 Year 8 families attended. The Open Day Passports were a “hit” and the atmosphere was vibrant and positive. Throughout the year, fundraisers have been held by a number of groups from all ages in the School, in aid of many charities including the Royal Children’s Hospital, Amnesty International, Community Aid Abroad, Zoe’s Place and the Animal Protection Society. It is wonderful to see that Grammar Girls try to give back to not only the Grammar School Community, but to the broader local and international communities as well.
