GR A NDP A RENTS and FRIENDS D A Y SHARING BGGS SPIRIT ACROSS GENERATIONS

T here is something special about intergenerational bonds within families. The care and attention of an adult—other than a parent—is an invaluable force in the life of a young person, particularly during the formative schooling years. During Term 2, the School hosted Girls Grammar grandparents, friends, and significant relatives for a morning of tea, refreshments, and conversation. Year 7 students were able to bring their loved ones into the School, where they shared insights on what they enjoyed most at school and advice about how they can make the most of their time at Girls Grammar. For some students, their significant relative was also a Girls Grammar alumna; however, all attendees had important reflections to share about school days, the importance of family and friends, and milestones to look forward to. We hope our guests found the day enjoyable and formed memories that will last long beyond our students’ time at the School.
