150 Years lights up Brisbane Marking a major milestone with gratitude, pride and many reconnections

The Girls Grammar community gathered in an extraordinary celebration of history that saw Grammar Women travelling from around the country and sending messages from across the globe to mark the School’s 150 Year Anniversary weekend in March. Some of the spontaneous and touching messages included a note from the School’s oldest alumnae, Grace Armstrong (Webster, 1937), who celebrated her 104th birthday just days before the School turned 150. Grace wrote: ‘I hope that present, past and future BGGS students recognise the extraordinary privilege we enjoy in having access to an excellent education, still denied to girls in many parts of the world.’

Remembering her School days fondly, Grace said that while Nil Sine Labore was paramount, it was also important to take time out to celebrate along the way. ‘Have fun and enjoy yourselves so that like me, you will reflect on your Grammar days with great pleasure.’
