Blue Dogs A mass of blue was contained within the white picket fence in March in support of the summer sports (Cricket and Softball) as well as the Swimming Team who were competing the next day in the QGSSSA competition. The students, decked out in their bluest outfits, danced their way through lunch in the Creative Learning Centre. The overzealous enthusiasm of the dancing students may have been amplified by the presence of an ABC Art Nation film crew, who were filming the CLC for their architectural segment The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. They couldn't have come on a better day to see the School in action! in Term 11, the Cross Country Team were sent off to the QGSSSA Competition in true Grammar style. in Term 111 the girls screamed the house down to send the rowers on their way to the Head of the River, and in Term IV, It was the Athletics Team's turn Grammac Grammar Blue Blue Blue!

.^ Bi-Grammar Series '^:"'

in an attempt to boost the morale of the Year 125 in what is undoubtedly the most difficult period of the final year, the School holds an annual competition with our rivals across Kalinga Avenue. The competition takes the form of several events, each in a different discipline, in which the girls seek to win out over the boys-perhaps in the hope of retribution for their untouchable OP results over the past two decades. First up, Girls Grammar hosted the netball. The boys' team arriving in BGGS skirts and PE uniforms spoke volumes of the seriousness with whichtheylooked~uponthis~parrofthe contestsUnsurprisingl , perhaps, the outcome was a sound defeat for the boys, with any preconceptions of an unbeatable male opposition ultimately disproven In an attempt to regain their pride, boys' Grammar hosted a Touch rugby match, sneakily deciding to use their first XV team The outcome was rather predictable with Grammar finishing so entirely victorious over their sister school that no accurate score was kept. Finally, a more even-handed competition, a quiz. Music, History and Harry Potter all made an appearance, as well as obscure topics that would render viewers from any other generation quite be mused. Despite being hosted next door, the buzzers were provided by the girls, which may have explained why the girls ended up with a piercing Iy-loud coach's whistle, while BGS were given a dog toy which could no longer make a sound. The boys' school did make it over the line, resulting in a Grammar victory T e scores were the least important thing for those involved and everyone had a great time
