OPEN DAY 2017

But what truly separates Brisbane Girls Grammar School’s Open Day from others’ is the wonderful display of participation, with every student and every staff member pitching in to make the evening such a great success. On show then is our passion, collaboration, team work, grit, creativity and, of course, that indomitable Grammar spirit.

This year’s Open Day truly lived up to its reputation for being a celebration of the irrepressible spirit, talent and enterprise of Grammar girls. On the evening of Friday 28 July, the School, awash with carnival colours, shone and dazzled both current and prospective families, exhibiting the very best of Brisbane Girls Grammar School. Following a tried and tested formula for success, this year’s Open Day also featured a few additional highlights. The Science Labs were incredible and many of the incoming girls and their younger siblings were swept away by the ‘wonder and awe’ of Science in action, with interactive displays such as using science to solve a crime case and classifying dinosaur species. An extra item on this year’s programme was the ‘flash mob’ choir, delighting crowds at finely timed ‘impromptu’ moments throughout the evening. The Amazing Race was again popular with our incoming girls, who revelled in the opportunity to navigate the campus and learn more about their ‘new’ School. Walking in Their Shoes — a panel session of current Year 7 girls — proved a favourite with families keen to hear what it is really like starting out at Girls Grammar.
