Objects of Substance- Christmas Creek Memorial Garden

The garden has grown into a green and calm oasis and the position on a central terrace that links sides of the campus is appropriate. Decades of Grammar girls have walked past and noted this stone with its plaque for over forty years. Sometimes it is passed unnoticed, but on other occasions, its significance and impact on Girls Grammar education is understood and the impact of such a pivotal event strikes home.
