Giddy and guileless Grammar Girls Cartoons

What does this show of the Grammar Girl character and her zest for school life? That the School encourages this portrayal of school life is testament to the ethos of the School to validate the freedom and independent thinking of our students. It also speaks to the importance of our liberal education of nourishing artistic practice and reminds us of the centrality of the arts in our curriculum and life. These cartoon sketches also give us insight into School activities, uniform styles, mores of the day, and are a history within themselves of what was worth noting and commenting on in different periods of school life and evolution. They form a broad picture of life inside and outside the classroom, and even in the chaos of the changing rooms. Nothing escaped the satirical impulse of our student artists.
