GRAMMAR WOMEN

The School’s reunions are important and exciting events in the School’s calendar, offering alumnae the chance to reconnect with friends and classmates, catch up on new developments at the School, and reminisce about their days at Girls Grammar. This year, Grammar Women returned to the School to celebrate their 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50-year reunions. Many alumnae enjoyed a tour of the campus led by current students, before a canapé reception at the School followed by further celebrations at nearby venues.
