And so it was, with gratitude and joy that generations of parents, past students and staff joined the wider community to mark a historic milestone. The weekend began on Friday 14 March with a 150 Year Anniversary Ball at Brisbane’s City Hall, where 500 revellers danced the night away. The next day, a very special Foundation Day celebrated 150 years to the day since the School first opened its doors to 39 students in a damp rented cottage in George Street. Girls Grammar moved to Wickham Terrace within its first year, before settling on its current site in 1884.
