In 2024, the Grammar Rhythmic Gymnastics squad, consisting of 85 gymnasts grouped into 24 individual teams, enters its 46 th year of QGSSSA Rhythmic Gymnastics competition. These teams are inspired by the gymnasts of the past, like Eliza Gower, whose international journey literally began in the School’s auditorium. Because I was competing at such a high level out of school, with a huge amount of pressure and a pretty rigorous training schedule, being on the school team was just such a fun escape. I was able to compete in a pair with my training partner and friend Amanda Lee See (2005) (I competed individually usually) and we had the whole school behind us. I loved my time at Grammar and QGSSSA was always such a highlight. (Gower 2024)
