‘We really liked the engagement of the current students with all of the visitors on the evening. They were all well-spoken and willing to help, also happy to ask someone else if they did not know the answers.’
Other activities throughout the afternoon and evening included: the Walking in Their Shoes session at the Gehrmann Theatre (where Year 7 girls reflected and shared with enrolled families their experiences of their first year as a Grammar girl); the BGGS Amazing Race (where incoming 2017 Year 7 girls joined their fellow house mates to explore and discover the school); and multilingual guided School tours led by girls for attending families. Reflecting the School’s strong ethos to community service, house groups and clubs raised $26 550 for their chosen charities from fundraising activities held during the open day.
‘We loved the general energy of the School. The students in particular did the School proud …It was a great afternoon event for our family.’ SPRING ISSUE / 2016
