generations of Sixths will respect Minerva’s longevity, admire her remarkably well -preserved appearance and dust the old girl at least once a term!”

The last sighting of Minerva at Girls Grammar was in 1966 when she appeared in a photograph album compiled by Form VID for their Form Mistress, Mrs Doreen Yates. In the photograph, she is wearing a summer Panama hat and a tie that includes the Sixth Former s’ new badge.

Sadly the original Minerva bust went missing thereafter.

To celebrate the 70 th anniversary of the Parents and Friends Association, and their significant contribution to the school, a new bust of Minerva was commissioned.
