Objects of Substance- Nil Sine Labore- School Song

Later, Miss Elizabeth Hatton provided a fine assessment of the subsequent impact of the School Song on our School community: ‘Written to unusual and challenging music, the lyrics have imaginatively and succinctly captured our past, our present and suggests the multi-faceted nature of our future’ (BGGS News, Vol 26 Issue 18). Our current Music Captain, Annabelle Khoo (12W), notes the endurance and individuality of the song. ‘ Nil Sine Labore remains an inspiring and uplifting piece of music that accurately reflects the spirit of Brisbane Girls Grammar School. When I was first learning it in Year 7, I remember noticing that it was unlike any other school song I had heard before. Its persistent tempo and driving melodic line invoke a real sense of School belonging, very reminiscent of the pride I feel for my school. Mr Andrew Pennay Director of Creative Arts
