BGGS OPEN D A Y A NIGHT UNDER THE STARS E ach year, Open Day celebrates BGGS' academic and co-curricular pursuits, long-held traditions, and unwavering spirit. On Friday 27 July 2023, the School welcomed more than 4000 guests from all corners of the community through the white picket fence, including prospective families, current parents and grandparents, siblings and children of all ages, and alumnae. The School was aglow with light and activity, as guests watched Grammar girls' sporting demonstrations, marvelled at musical and drama performances, and participated in academic games and challenges. Families purchased savoury and sweet snacks from House Stalls, and our Parent Support Groups sold their ever-popular baked goods as well as sausages and burgers.

Incoming students starting Year 7 in 2024 participated in a special welcome and orientation activity, which encouraged them to visit their House Stall to meet other students in their House, and follow an itinerary to help them explore the School’s history, facilities, clubs and programs. Many families attended an information session with Principal, Ms Jacinda Euler Welsh and Chair, Julie McKay, listened to a 'Question and Answer' session with current Year 7 students, and joined student-led tours of the campus. Uniting the whole School community, Open Day showcases the strength and diversity of BGGS, alongside its fine traditions in academic excellence and co-curricular achievement.

‘THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING ON SUCH A FUN AND INFORMATIVE OPEN DAY! MY 7‑YEAR‑OLD DAUGHTER WANTS TO START NEXT WEEK!’ ‘THE GIRLS WERE INCREDIBLY HELPFUL AND KIND TO MY DAUGHTER. I WAS IMPRESSED WITH HOW EAGER STUDENTS WERE TO HELP VISITORS.’
