On Sunday morning, about 200 Grammar Women journeyed from as far north as Cairns for a Boarders' Brunch to remember their home away from home. Girls lived on the upper floor of Main Building from the 1880s until the boarding house closed in 2002. At its peak, there were more than 90 students sharing dresses, stories and study tips. As they toured their former bedrooms, which now serve as staff offices, some boarders lay down to demonstrate where their beds would have been. One even snuck a peek under the carpet to see where students had once carved their names into a wooden floor beam, leaving their own cheeky mark on a School that left an indelible mark on them.
