Objects of Substance – Governers General and Grammar

'I think Queensland girls have a better chance-a better outlook-than girls in any part of the world I have seen. They are brought up with great independence of spirit, and will be well fitted to take their place in life, and make good.' (Goodwin, in Public Spirit, 1929). Long may our 'special guest' maintain such belief in the School and confidence in Grammar girls to make a difference in the world.
