Objects of Substance- The Annie Mackay Room

In appreciation of her inspiration and dedication, Miss Mackay's final Sixth Form class organised a brass plaque to celebrate her work. It showcased one of her favourite sentiments: courage, truth, and the beauty of simplicity. Today it is attached to the wall in the room named in her honour. However, what is especially important about the Annie Mackay Room is that, as well as fulfilling a multitude of social and official roles, it also includes tangible evidence of the heritage of the School. On its walls are placed photographs of current and previous School leaders and the honour boards of award winners and those who served in global conflicts. It is almost as if, when you walk through this room, you hear the echoes of 145 years of Grammar girls and their memories. Mrs Jenny Davis Librarian—Special Collections
