Miss the white picket! So much! AMELIA TSIKLEAS

Tears dripping on my chiffon after a rousing and emotional conclusion to @BGGS Gala Concert. Congratulations on another superb show. ANGELA BENSTEAD Furthermore and perhaps most importantly, Mrs Minuzzo has taught Miah how to transfer the skills of application, focus and self-belief into her other subject areas. LINDY JOHNSON The BGGS girls who helped at the handball festival yesterday were absolutely fabulous. I was so impressed by them. They were all extremely enthusiastic, proactive and co-operative …They were a total credit to BGGS and we’d love to have next year’s Year 10s involved again.
