OPEN DAY

Each year, Open Day captures and celebrates the essence of Girls Grammar. Open Day 2018 showcased the unique heritage of the School while also heralding new traditions. Girls Grammar welcomed more than 2500 current and future Girls Grammar families, staff and alumnae to its Spring Hill campus on Friday 3 August. As they arrived, visitors saw the School’s iconic royal blue ribbons adorning the white picket fence and a giant ‘BGGS’ sign illuminating the forecourt of the Research Learning Centre.

These popular additions to Open Day signified a conscious shift from the tradition of balloons

lining the picket fence—a decision by the Student Council to ensure the event reflected students’ commitment to environmentally sustainable initiatives.

‘My daughter enjoyed the co-curricular sports displays and chatting with students, as well as the Science lab displays.’

‘Thank you to the Head Girls for your inspiring speech and the passion you clearly have for your teachers and your school.’
