Headmaster’s Speech Day Address
19
November
Good afternoon, Old Boy Mr Toby Jenkins ‘97, Chairman of the Board of Trustees Mr Warren Traves, respected members of the Board of Trustees, distinguished guests, and staff, students and parents. It is an honour to present the 157th Annual Report of Brisbane Grammar School.
Today, we recognise the outstanding achievements of our senior students. Prior to reflecting on this year, however, I acknowledge the dedication and professionalism displayed by my colleagues. Their ongoing commitment, diligence and enthusiasm for mentoring and supporting our students form the foundation of the School’s continued success.
Brisbane Grammar School was founded in 1868, under the Grammar Schools Act of 1860. Established as an autonomous institution committed to serving the public interest, the School has retained a focus on nurturing intellectual curiosity, ethical responsibility and civic engagement.
Over the years, BGS has intentionally enhanced its services to benefit our community, whilst consistently maintaining its core values. Our mission is to cultivate graduates who are equipped to lead lives marked by purpose and distinction.
To fulfil this pledge, the School actively adopts new ways of thinking
“Our mission is to cultivate graduates who are equipped to lead lives marked by purpose and distinction.”
and new methods, such as the development of a dynamic digital platform. This avant-garde approach ensures students and staff are well equipped for the demands of a rapidly evolving educational landscape, while still preserving the School’s core values and traditions.
BGS Connect — which is now in development — places the School at the leading edge of educational technology, while ensuring rigorous data security and privacy protection. Through the integration of a modular digital platform, BGS will
streamline operations, improve communications and ensure digital readiness for staff and students.
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly influential, BGS is adjusting its operating model to keep abreast of digital advancements without compromising its educational or organisational standards. Teaching staff are gaining essential skills and knowledge, thus enabling them to responsibly integrate AI and prepare students to use these tools ethically and creatively.
Similarly, our commitment to innovation is exemplified in our
focus on providing a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) education. This multidisciplinary approach encourages students to think judiciously and inventively.
The Innovation Summits license staff and students to tackle major public challenges by using design thinking. As noted by Kelley and Knowles (2016), problem-based learning fosters engagement and promotes critical thinking and collaboration.
Almost 900 students are engaged in these summits, taking part in projects such as Mars Life,
Sports Science, Jurassic Earth and Social Justice. These initiatives not only enrich the learning experience but nurture a mindset of curiosity and adaptability, which serves our students well. The focus on holistic development aligns with the School’s commitment to maintaining academic standards.
At the heart of these progressive initiatives lies an unyielding promise to educational quality. BGS maintains high academic outcomes through shared efforts of the academic leadership team, who design and implement research-informed programs, which are meticulously aligned with the Australian curriculum and Queensland syllabi.
The School prioritises teacher
training to facilitate preparedness for emerging educational trends. By providing targeted professional learning opportunities, educators are equipped to adapt to evolving curricular standards and changes in pedagogy. This investment enhances instructional practice but also affirms the School’s dedication to sustained academic excellence and deliberate succession planning.
Participating in sport, the arts and community service nurtures the boys’ confidence. By engaging in a broad spectrum of activities, students are encouraged to explore new interests, develop leadership skills and contribute meaningfully to both school and community initiatives.
This year, staff and students
excelled in varied cocurricular activities, consistently demonstrating high levels of participation and achievement.
The School’s flagship teams won premierships in Chess, Debating, Fencing, Football and Gymnastics, and earned podium finishes in Cross Country, Rowing, Sailing, Swimming and Volleyball.
The visual and performing arts program maintains its distinguished reputation, with students and staff characteristically showing their talents through an array of dramatic productions, musical ensembles, choral performances and artistic exhibitions.
In addition, BGS offers a wide variety of clubs, including those focused on robotics, engineering,
environmental action and entrepreneurship. Participation in these activities enables students to investigate new disciplines, contribute to community projects, and cultivate a balanced profile that aligns with their future goals.
The School’s Public Purpose program delivers essential services to families in need. Once again, student-led fundraising efforts aided many charitable agencies, with assistance provided to organisations such as Eat Up, which supports children facing food insecurity, and Rize Up, which assists families affected by domestic violence.
Our students also delivered academic support to children as part of the Homework Club, at
“At the heart of these progressive initiatives lies an unyielding promise to educational quality.”
Kelvin Grove State College, and the Reading Club, at Brisbane Central State School. Staff and students staged many events to raise awareness about important social issues.
Improving student wellbeing and resilience helps students manage change; therefore, promoting better mental health and social outcomes (Dix et al., 2020). The Protect and Connect initiative is central to the School’s educational framework. This program helps to prevent bullying, promote respect, and support healthy views on sexuality.
Guided by the Wellbeing Team, pastoral care initiatives and tailored support programs empower students to navigate challenges confidently, promoting both individual growth and collective responsibility. These initiatives ensure students feel supported and valued.
The Boarding program stands as a cornerstone of our educational
offering, playing a vital role in enriching the school community. Bringing together students of diverse backgrounds, regions and cultures, the program encourages a sense of unity and shared experience, strengthening the fabric of school life.
In recent years, a notable rise in the demand for boarding placements has underscored the changing needs and preferences of the student body, and highlighted the growing appeal of the boarding experience at BGS. In recognition of this, the School is investigating the possibility of a dedicated senior boarding house.
Equally, BGS remains committed to outdoor education and is steadily investing in the program to improve the student experience. With enrolments on the rise and increased use of the secondary site at Bitenbar, improvements at the main campus at Pepperina Hill are underway. These enhancements
“By embracing responsibility and upholding the School’s values, they have deepened our traditions and built a durable foundation for future cohorts.”
will maintain the program’s sustainability and quality, guaranteeing it continues as an essential part of the well-rounded educational portfolio on offer at BGS.
In 2026, the School will celebrate the 50-year anniversary of the Outdoor Education program. This milestone highlights the importance of outdoor education in nurturing student growth and personal development. In anticipation of the golden jubilee, BGS is planning a series of events, which will bring the community together to honour the program’s legacy.
As this report nears an end, I express my gratitude to all members of our community. The School’s lasting success relies on volunteers and main bodies, such as the P&F Association, the P&F Auxiliary, the Old Boys’ Association, and many support groups.
I want to recognise the outstanding leadership of Justin Beirne, Rachel Dauber and Adam Franklin whose contributions have been pivotal in creating an ethos characterised by collective purpose. This type of spirit contributes to school programs, and improves the experience for
staff and students.
Furthermore, the School expresses appreciation for the Board of Trustees, who guide and support strategic objectives. Their ongoing dedication to a progressive, inclusive learning environment is central to our success.
Likewise, I extend thanks to members of the Senior Leadership Team for their guidance, and delivery of programs and services. Their considered decision-making, firm commitment and invaluable expertise have advanced our goals.
Next, I thank the Class of 2025 for their ardent leadership. By embracing responsibility and upholding the School’s values, they have deepened our traditions and built a durable foundation for future cohorts. The community wishes them ongoing success and good health.
In addition, I acknowledge all students for their valuable contributions this year. Their high
level of engagement has elevated the vibrancy and prosperity of our school.
Lastly, I extend my gratitude to parents for entrusting BGS with their sons’ education. It is a privilege to have earned your confidence; we value the opportunity to engage as partners in nurturing the progress of each student.
As another year draws to a close, I tender my best wishes to all members of the BGS community. I hope the summer break is a pleasant and restorative period with loved ones.
We appreciate your sustained involvement, which contributes significantly to the enduring community spirit at Brisbane Grammar School.

Farewells
Mr Stephen Chin
With a profound sense of gratitude interwoven with bittersweet reflection, we bid a fond farewell to esteemed Music Educator, Mr Stephen Chin, whose tenure at Brisbane Grammar School draws to a close at the end of the 2025 academic year. Over the course of 33 distinguished years, Stephen has shaped not merely a program, but a musical lineage - cultivating artistry, discipline and a spirit of camaraderie among generations of students.
A masterful pedagogue and passionate advocate for the transformative power of music, Stephen’s legacy is etched in the hearts
and aspirations of those he guided. His artistry extended far beyond the rehearsal room, as he became a pillar of the music community — offering wisdom, warmth and steadfast support to colleagues and students alike.
As we say farewell to Stephen, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for his extraordinary service. We wish both Stephen and his wife Ann much happiness and good fortune in the years ahead.
Mr Anthony Micallef Headmaster

David Hills
After 27 years of service, Brisbane Grammar School bids farewell to David, a valued member of our Library team. Arriving in 1998, David played an important role in the smooth expansion from the Centenary Library to the Lilley Centre Senior Library. Bringing institutional and historical knowledge to this transition was beneficial and highly appreciated. David contributed tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure access to quality resources and a natural evolution of library services.
David was a genuine, committed, and reliable colleague — someone who could be counted on to take on any task with quiet determination and care. His work ethic and attention to detail were evident in everything he did.
David’s greatest passion was Science Fiction. His broad knowledge of the genre and infectious enthusiasm made him a go-
Cathy Oxley
After 16 extraordinary years, Brisbane Grammar School bids farewell to Cathy, our dynamic and respected Teacher Librarian.
Cathy joined BGS in August 2009 during a time of great transition. With the Lilley Centre still under construction and the Senior Library operating from modest demountables, she laid the groundwork for what would become a most admired school library.
Cathy’s vision and energy were instrumental in bringing the Lilley Centre Senior Library to life - a vibrant, purpose-built space that redefined how students engage with learning. Her passion transformed the library into a buzzing hub of creativity and connection, filled with colourful displays, guest speakers, authors and TED Talks.
She championed digital literacy, guiding students through the evolving tech landscape
to source for reading recommendations. Students delighted in his suggestions, often discovering new authors and series they might never have found on their own. David had a gift for connecting readers with the right book at the right time, and his joy in sharing stories was matched only by his interest in learning about the boys’ own reading preferences.
He brought warmth and curiosity to every interaction, and his enjoyment in engaging with students helped foster a welcoming and inclusive library environment.
As David moves onto new opportunities, we thank him for his years of service, his passion for literature, and his dedication to our school community. We wish him many happy hours of reading and discovery in the future.
Mr John Byrne Director of Library Services
with clarity and care while never losing sight of her love for reading, a gift she passed on to countless boys, often against the odds.
Cathy built a collaborative, forwardthinking library team and remained a steady, supportive presence through times of change. Her professionalism, warmth, and unwavering commitment to the boys’ learning journey leaves an enduring legacy.
As Cathy turns the final page of her BGS chapter, we thank her for her remarkable contribution and wish her all the best as she sails into retirement. May your next adventures be as inspiring as the ones you’ve championed here.
Mr John Byrne Director of Library Services
Alison Walters
Alison’s journey with BGS began in 2000 as a parent to Gareth ’04 and Jack Walters ’11. From the outset, she immersed herself in the life of the School, taking on a variety of roles that reflected her deep commitment to the BGS community. She served as a Year Level Representative, Bookshop Convenor, Northgate Canteen Convenor and Wembley Club Committee Representative, where she held the positions of both Secretary and President.
In 2011, Alison transitioned into a professional role within the Enrolments Office, where her deep understanding of the parent experience and her genuine empathy made her an invaluable asset. Families quickly came to know Alison as a reassuring and knowledgeable presence, someone who could guide them through the enrolment journey with care and clarity. Her dedication and professionalism led to her appointment
Nancy West
Since joining the P&F Auxiliary as the Grammar Shop convenor in March 2017, Nancy West has been an integral part of the BGS community. Known for her conscientious approach and professionalism in all dealings, Nancy has built strong, positive relationships with students, parents and staff alike.
During her tenure Nancy has overseen the relocation of the shop to its current site; the implementation of extended trading hours; and the establishment of an online shop, which has provided even greater amenity for the BGS community. Nancy also worked with the Cocurricular department to support the rollout of the new and improved cocurricular uniforms over the past 18 months.
Nancy’s commitment to excellence and genuine care for those around her have left a
as Enrolments Manager in 2016, a role she embraced wholeheartedly.
Over the years, Alison has played a pivotal role in shaping the first impressions of BGS for countless families. Her ability to connect, listen and support others has left a lasting impact on the School’s culture. Whether welcoming new students, assisting parents, or mentoring colleagues, Alison has consistently demonstrated grace, compassion and a deep commitment to excellence.
Her legacy is not only measured in years of service, but in the relationships she has built and the lives she has touched.
As Alison embarks on this next chapter, we extend our deepest gratitude for her remarkable contributions to BGS.
Mr Jamie Smith Director of Enrolments
lasting impact. Her friendly demeanour and dedication have made the Grammar Shop a welcoming and smoothly run hub for the school community.
As Nancy prepares to leave the Grammar Shop at the end of Term 4, she will be greatly missed by all who have had the pleasure of working with her. Thankfully, we are pleased to share that Nancy will be returning as a casual staff member in 2026, continuing to contribute her expertise and warmth to the school community.
We extend our heartfelt thanks and best wishes for this next chapter and look forward to seeing her back soon.

Headmaster’s Valedictory Speech | School Captain’s Speech Day Address
Class of 2025 | Head of Year 12 | Senior Formal | Younger Years
Headmaster’s Valedictory Speech
Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed staff, proud parents, and our newest Brisbane Grammar School alumni—the class of 2025.
It is my great privilege to welcome you all to the 2025 Valedictory Dinner. This evening is a significant milestone, honouring the achievements and journeys of our valedictorians, the steadfast support of their families, and the dedicated guidance of our Heads of Year and staff.
The Valedictory Dinner is the final formal occasion where the
“I extend heartfelt thanks for entrusting your sons to Brisbane Grammar School and for your unwavering support of their pursuits.”
entire cohort gathers as students of Brisbane Grammar School.
Over the years, these young men have learned, worked and grown together in an environment steeped in history and tradition. Earlier this year, I reminded our
seniors that people—parents, students, teachers and coaches— form the heart of our school. These graduates have inherited the legacy of our institution and contributed to the ongoing story of its rich heritage.
At the start of the academic year, I encouraged the class of 2025 to embrace their roles as seniors and actively shape the evolving legacy of Brisbane Grammar School. They have since shown a strong commitment to collective success. Their leadership and unity have further strengthened the proud traditions upheld by our school community.
As time passes, the details of exams, assignments and daily routines may fade, but the bonds formed here will endure. The laughter shared in the corridors, the lessons learned inside and outside the classroom, and the challenges overcome together will
become cherished memories. These stories, enriched by the warmth of nostalgia, will remind them of their resilience, camaraderie and the formative years that shaped their character. When they reunite in the future, it will be these moments of connection, rather than academic achievements, that spark conversations and smiles. In this way, the spirit of Grammar will remain with each of them, carried forward into their futures and shared with others.
I would like to commend and thank the seniors for setting a positive example throughout the year and enriching the experiences of students in other year groups. As we bid farewell and wish you success and happiness, I urge you to keep revising your stories, refining your character, thinking independently, and striving to make your lives extraordinary.
I express my sincere gratitude to the Heads of Year, Mr Larry Carmichael and Mr Chris Dash. Mr Carmichael provided steadfast guidance throughout much of the cohort’s journey, while Mr Dash brought the enthusiasm and momentum that helped them reach
this milestone. Mr Dash was ably supported by Mr Ged Hales and Ms Sarah McDonald, who served as strong advocates for the boys. I also acknowledge the Form Tutors, subject teachers, coaches and conductors, whose contributions extend well beyond the delivery of content. I encourage our graduating seniors to personally
thank their teachers for their guidance and support.
To the parents, I extend a heartfelt thanks for entrusting your sons to Brisbane Grammar School and for your unwavering support of their pursuits, as well as your partnership with the School in fostering their personal growth. My gratitude also goes to The P&F Auxiliary for their generous support of this Valedictory Dinner and to the organising committee for their dedication in making tonight possible. Finally, I would like to acknowledge Catherine Yantsch, our Year 12 Parent Representative, whose outstanding efforts have kept parents informed and connected.
I wish everyone a pleasant and memorable evening.
Mr Anthony Micallef Headmaster
“I urge you to keep revising your stories, refining your character, thinking independently, and striving to make your lives extraordinary.”
School Captain’s Speech Day Address
Welcome once again to Speech Day for 2025.
I wish the Class of 2026 well for next year, and I have no doubt that the student body is in safe hands under your leadership.
I first came to BGS as a Year 5 student in the 150-year anniversary of our school. I experienced the celebrations of this milestone, albeit from a distance, and throughout my years at BGS, I have looked up to the older boys, especially the Year 12s.
I have been consistently amazed and intimidated by the things that previous Grammar students have achieved. To put it simply, the history, legacy and success of our school is a hard thing to live up to.
About a year ago when our cohort was preparing to lead the school, I found myself asking: What really matters? Was it our achievements? The premierships? The plaques on the wall?
I found my answer from a memory in 2018. It was at Track and Field training, and my fellow Year 5s and I were trying to mind our own business and not get run over by the Year 12s.
But the School Captain that year, Marcus Ray, took the time to ask me how I was.
And despite that moment only taking around 20 seconds, it mattered. It mattered because, in that moment, he made a younger
boy feel seen and valued.
Throughout the year, I have learned what matters is not trying to one-up the previous year, so we can be remembered or so our name can be written on a plaque.
What matters is creating an environment where every single Grammar boy, from Years 5 to Year 12, can learn and grow.
Thousands of our small choices, like Marcus’s choice that day, culminate to build a thriving school culture. The achievements, glory and legacy will take care of itself.
This year, the senior cohort has been committed to its mission to build a culture through our vision of Strive As One.
We picked it because it contains two elements we believe are vital for making our community the best it can be. Firstly, ‘Strive’ represents hard work. Secondly, ‘As One’ represents our united community.
Reflecting on the year, I believe the student body has lived out this vision extraordinarily.
The most obvious example is our thriving sporting program, which has had extensive success across all year levels, divisions and sports. For most of Semester 1, our First teams couldn’t seem to get a premiership, despite placing second in Swimming, Volleyball, Debating, Rowing and Cross Country.
But then, on the final day of Term 2, we filled the stands at Northgate
with 343 boys and watched the First XI take out the premiership-winning football game.
That day showed what matters most when achieving success: the relentless hunger of our athletes supported by the sea of Grammar boys in the stands cheering them on.
But it goes beyond sport. I have had the special privilege of watching this year’s Dramatic Production of Rhinoceros, as well as our biggest music showcase of the year, Grammar In Concert, where I was blown away by the unbelievable talent of our musicians.
I have to say, watching Middle Schoolers working their magic on a violin is an immensely humbling experience.
Indeed, what makes BGS truly special is that we are encouraged to engage in activities beyond our academics to help develop our character.
Some of the most impactful experiences from my time at BGS have been during Outdoor Education.
I haven’t just grown as a student, but also as a human being.
Taking part in Public Purpose is another huge part of this. For me, a highlight has been helping the younger boys with their homework in the Middle School library.
There have been too many Public Purpose initiatives for me to list, but the one that means the most to me
“Becoming a well-rounded man matters more than any academic or sporting achievement.”
is raising awareness for leukemia. Hearing old-boy Rowan Tong-Law speaking about his own battle with the disease and witnessing hundreds of people rallying behind him has been nothing short of inspirational.
I’m speaking for the Year 12s and the entire school when I say that BGS has given us so much. Today offers an opportunity to say thank you.
To our teachers, those who I have dealt with directly and those I haven’t, thank you for going above and beyond to not only make us better learners, but better people. My parents always tell me how lucky I am to have had such great teachers.
Our teachers’ commitment to helping us through difficult times and genuine care for us is unparalleled.
To our Heads of Year, Mr Carmichael, Mr Dash, Mr Hales and Ms McDonald, your support and generosity have been invaluable. Mr Carmichael guided us from Year 7 and has been an incredible leader throughout our BGS journey. Mr Dash became our Head of Year partway through Year 11, and he has ensured our final year has been productive and enjoyable. Ms McDonald, your behind-the-scenes work and organisation have kept us going this year. Mr Hales, I speak for everyone when I say that we will sorely miss your ability to put a smile on everyone’s face.
To my fellow student leaders, Hugo, Anson, Harper and Patrick, it has been a pleasure and a privilege to spend so much time with you this year. You are exceptional examples of Grammar men.
To the Prefects and everyone who contributed to organising spirit, cohort culture and the academic
committee, thank you for your commitment to making this year something special. To every one of my Year 12 peers, thank you for being incredible people to learn with and from, and such amazing leaders of the School. You are proof that every Year 12 boy who puts on that senior tie has the potential to lead.
To our parents, who bus us around to games, work hard to send us to this school, and are here for us in the toughest of times, we are forever grateful. We probably don’t say thank you enough, but you are the most important members of the BGS community, and the most important people in our lives.
I want to take this opportunity to thank Mum, Dad and my sister Olivia. Thank you for being in my life and supporting me even when it is hard. I am so lucky to have you.
Before I close, there is something that I would like to share with you that I have only now begun to appreciate. When Marcus came over to have a chat with me on that memorable day in Year 5, he could have been talking with his own mates. It was his selflessness and compassion for others that compelled him to make that choice.
While BGS does have a
reputation for producing high achievers, whether it is academic, sporting or future careers, I have come to learn the most important thing our school does is produce well-rounded men: men who are selfless, focussed and hard working. Through Public Purpose, we are encouraged to give back to our community. Through sport, we work as a team and pursue a common goal. Through our academics, we learn for the sake of pursuing what is good, true and beautiful. And throughout all these activities, our school motto rings aloud: Nil Sine Labore. Nothing without work. A good work ethic is a product of mental strength that BGS cultivates within every student.
BGS students, my parting message to you is this: becoming a well-rounded man matters more than any academic or sporting achievement.
To the class of 2025, I look forward to seeing how you live out the lessons we have learned at BGS and how this has a positive impact on your future pursuits. The last eight years have been a pleasure, and I’m so glad I got to share it with you all. Over the years we will scatter across the globe, and pursue different professions and passions, but we will always be united by the Light Dark Blue.

Head of Year 12
The graduating class of 2025 has left an enduring mark on Brisbane Grammar School. This year has been one of determination and remarkable achievement; academically, in cocurricular pursuits and in building the spirit that binds this cohort together. This was their response to the message School Captain Luke Saywell delivered at the start of the year: “Whatever we do, we do our very best, and we do it with and for our Grammar brothers”.
In their second year in the STEAM Precinct, the boys embraced the vibrant learning environment with confidence and maturity. What was once new has become familiar, and the students have thrived in this space. They got the job done and they did so with purpose.
Year 12 is a unique chapter
in the school journey. It’s a time when the structures and expectations of earlier years give way to greater autonomy. With that comes responsibility, and this cohort rose to the challenge. Together, they’ve demonstrated that they are capable of extraordinary things. They’ve shown courage in the face of uncertainty, whether navigating the pressures of final assessments or responding to the looming threat of Tropical Cyclone Alfred. Their commitment and achievements speak volumes and reflect not only talent but also teamwork, discipline and a deep commitment to excellence: multiple premierships
“Whatever we do, we do our very best, and we do it with and for our Grammar brothers”

Luke Saywell, School Captain
in GPS Football, First Chess, QDU Debating, Gymnastics and Fencing; second in GPS Swimming, Cross Country, Head of the River Rowing, and Debating, sold out Senior Dramatic production and musical talent in Grammar in Concert. Every event was elevated by a mass of Year 12s cheering on their brothers with pride adding to the collective spirit that has defined this remarkable cohort.
Year 12 is a time when relationships evolve. Students and teachers walk side by side, united in the pursuit of personal
bests. It truly takes a village to raise a student, and at BGS that village is vast. Special thanks to Mr Ged Hales, who has done a fantastic job journeying with this cohort throughout their senior years, and Ms Sarah McDonald, who joined for this pivotal final year. Our Form Tutors have also been daily pillars of support and guidance and deserve a big thanks.
It has been an honour to serve
as Head of Year for the Class of 2025. I am immensely proud of each of them.
Continue to strive the Cohort of 2025.

Year 11
The 287 students of Year 11 had a stellar year at the School.
The students were exposed to the expectations, rigour and complexity of the final years of schooling. At times, the demands were profound, yet their resilience was on display throughout.
Student leadership is a key focus in Year 11, and the students worked exceptionally hard to undertake a genuine and authentic leadership process. They worked well in sessions with Michael Knight’s team from Peer Power, an organisation focused on supporting young people through various programs and seminars. The leadership voting process was performed with care
and genuine engagement. Those selected will truly reflect the desires of their peers.
Year 11 students have shown exceptional commitment to Public Purpose initiatives. Our Year 11 swimmers spearheaded the Starlight Super Swim to support sick children, contributing to an impressive school-wide total of $11,220. Their efforts continued with enthusiastic support for the Leukaemia Foundation, participating in the World’s Greatest Shave and organising a charity
social that raised over $6,000. Year 11 led the way in the Eat Up program, which provides lunches to children in need, achieving the highest participation rate across all year levels.
Four Year 11 Tutor Groups contributed to Hope in a Suitcase by assembling care packages for children entering foster care. Nearly half of the attendees at Daggy Jumper Day and Sleepout — events that raise awareness and funds for youth homelessness — were Year 11 students.
Their dedication extended beyond service into academic support, with 30 Year 11 students volunteering every week at Homework Club, assisting younger students to learn English as an additional language. They took the lead in organising activities for Harmony Week, National Closing the Gap Day and R U OK? Day. These efforts reflect the empathy, leadership and commitment to community that define the Year 11 cohort.
The list of individual names for cocurricular achievements, across national, state and school levels, is too extensive to include. Their remarkable achievements are cast in the same light as their contributions to leadership and
service.
As always, nothing is possible without the remarkable contributions of Rachael Dauber and Vanessa Gillman, our Year 11 Parent Representatives.
We are exceptionally fortunate to
have their support as they give so much to every family in the group.
Mr Jon Hopes
Head of Year 11
Year 10
2025 has been transformative for our Year 10 students, marking their continued journey through the Senior School with increasing maturity, independence and responsibility. As Head of Year, it has been a privilege to witness the cohort embrace the challenges and opportunities that come with this pivotal stage of their education.
From an academic standpoint, Year 10 demands a deeper level of engagement and independence. Students have been encouraged to refine their study habits, take ownership of their learning, and prepare for the rigours of senior assessment. The emphasis on consistent effort and application has been central throughout the year, and it has been rewarding to see many boys rise to this challenge, developing the autonomy and resilience needed
for success in Years 11 and 12.
A focus on Student Wellbeing has remained a cornerstone of our approach. The Year 10 cohort has continued to build a positive sense of self, as well as
community, by exploring themes of identity, purpose, and connection through our wellbeing curriculum.
The Public Purpose Program has offered meaningful opportunities for service and leadership, and
it has been heartening to see students contribute positively to both the School and wider community.
The Year 10 Outdoor Education experience at Moogerah provided a powerful moment of personal growth and reflection. The physical and emotional challenges of the program, including the summit of Mt Moon, fostered camaraderie, perseverance, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world. Students were able to reflect positively at a significant point in time on their educational journey, namely the final time they will attend our Moogerah Campus as a class group.
Our Cocurricular program continues to enrich the Year 10 experience, offering a dynamic
balance of competition, creativity, and collaboration. Whether on the sporting field, in the orchestra, or on stage, students have demonstrated commitment and passion, contributing to the vibrant culture of our School.
I extend my sincere thanks to our parent community for their ongoing support and partnership. As we look ahead to 2026 and
the commencement of Year 11, I am excited to continue working alongside our students and families as we prepare for the final years of schooling and the opportunities they will present us.
Mr Adam Bloch Head of Year 10
Year 9
The year began with a strong sense of purpose as the boys transitioned into the Senior School. This transition brought heightened responsibility and independence, as students were called to take stronger ownership of their learning, particularly in their academic
endeavours. This was formally marked by the Blazer Ceremony at the start of Term 2, which was a proud moment for the boys and their families. This well-attended event celebrated the symbolic first wearing of the blazer, a tradition that represents not only their entry
into a new stage of schooling but also the responsibilities, maturity and opportunities that accompany their role within the Senior School community.
One of the standout experiences was the annual school camp to Moogerah. The climb of Mount Greville proved to be a significant challenge. At times, the boys faced difficult conditions due to cold and wet weather, yet these obstacles became moments of strength shared between them. They encouraged one another and developed a stronger sense of unity as they tackled the elements together.
Leadership emerged as a strong theme this year, with many boys applying for student leadership roles. These leaders played a vital role in organising events with Brisbane Girls Grammar School, which were both well-attended and thoroughly enjoyed. They also initiated inter Tutor Group activities, such as dodgeball and chess, which became highlights throughout the year.
Cocurricular leaders spoke at every Year Level Assembly providing excellent accounts of what happens outside the classrooms. Cocurricular involvement remained high, with many boys engaging in a wide range of activities. These experiences helped foster deeper relationships and stronger connections within the cohort.
The year concluded with the innovative 2032 Housing Legacy Challenge, where students were tasked with designing sustainable micro-housing using shipping containers. This project addressed homelessness in the lead-up to the Brisbane Olympic Games,
encouraging the boys to think creatively and compassionately about real-world issues.
As the year draws to a close, we congratulate the Year 9 boys on their many achievements. Their growth in independence, leadership and resilience has been remarkable. We look forward to seeing them continue to develop as they move further into the
9
Senior School, ready to embrace new challenges with confidence.
Mr Andrew Skinner Head of Year
Year 8
Gathering in the Lilley Centre Forum on 29 January to commence the year, the Year 8 cohort was presented with the following task: In Year 8, we lead the Middle School, and we lead by example.
Boys were challenged to demonstrate the culture they intended to model. While focusing on visible aspects such as uniform and engagement in learning, they also sought to model less tangible traits, such as respect and inclusion.
In developing these traits, the Year 8 Wellbeing Team, which includes Heads of Year and Form Tutors, focused on the delivery of the Student Wellbeing curriculum in our weekly wellbeing lessons. These lessons helped students
to engage with and experience the actions, expectations and beliefs underpinned by the School’s Protect and Connect Framework. We want to embrace the opportunity to shape the long-term culture of the
group by compelling boys to reflect on their attitudes and actions, and how these impact themselves and others.
Topics presented ranged from resilience, assertive communication,
peer influences and social awkwardness to respectful relationships, where we explored healthy relationships, puberty and reproduction, gender stereotypes and image sharing.
Resources focused on hands-on activities to encourage debate and reflection, while we also encouraged movement and connection. While clear parameters were set to ensure respectful engagement, boys were encouraged to question and challenge assumptions, both their own and those of others.
The outcome of this year-long focus has been multifaceted. By providing boys with an opportunity to discuss pertinent developmental issues, stronger connections have been fostered among students. By engaging openly, often about confronting contemporary issues, we have provided our Year 8 students with exceptional pastoral care and a well-rounded education. By challenging destructive attitudes and behaviours, we are building a more respectful community.
Leadership has been framed as being about more than delivering a speech or wearing a badge: leadership is about demonstrating and advocating for values and beliefs that celebrate inclusivity and acceptance.
We look forward to the cohort continuing to lead by example as they embark upon their Senior School journey in 2026.
Mr Samuel Lobascher Head of Year 8
Year 7
Year 7 marks one of the most significant transition points in the BGS journey. With students from primary schools across the world joining the continuing BGS Year 6 cohort, this year was about forging a new, cohesive community that will grow together throughout their schooling years.
At the beginning of the year, students were introduced to the
analogy of the hero’s journey, a reminder that each boy is the protagonist in his own BGS story. Like every great story, the chapters of Year 7 were filled with calls to adventure, trusted guides, loyal companions, and memorable moments that tested the boys and helped them grow.
A significant highlight was the Year 7 camp at Moogerah.
Surrounded by a beautiful setting, the boys pushed themselves beyond their comfort zones. They embraced the great outdoors, tackled hiking trails and worked together to overcome challenges. Many laughs and stories were also shared around the campfire. These experiences not only deepened friendships but taught important lessons about teamwork, resilience and leadership.
The Innovation Summit was another key adventure. The boys connected with industry experts in a range of fields, such as forensic science, engineering and entrepreneurship, gaining an inspiring glimpse into the possibilities that lie ahead.
Classroom learning was enriched through immersive activities, such
as Rome Day, which brought Ancient Roman history to life in engaging and memorable ways. The Geography excursion to Hinze Dam and Natural Bridge offered a practical connection to their studies. The Public Speaking competition added a further dimension to the year, combining humour with insight, as students reflected on topics ranging from the dangers of overthinking, to the positives of parents and pet rocks.
Beyond academic life, Year 7 boys embraced cocurricular opportunities. From sporting and cultural programs to clubs, activities and the Public Purpose program, the boys developed values and skills that will shape them into wellrounded young men, ready to make a positive contribution to the world around them.
This year would not have been possible without the dedicated guidance of Form Tutors and class teachers, Assistant Heads of Year Peter Hunter and Dean Littlefair, and Acting Assistant Head of Year Abi Riley. I would also like thank the Year 7 parent community, whose support has been invaluable.
As the boys continue their BGS journey, their courage, curiosity, and community spirit will guide them through many exciting chapters yet to be written.
Ms Crystal Thompson Head of Year 7
Year 6
This year’s Year 6 cohort embraced their second year of middle schooling with energy, enthusiasm and camaraderie.
Over the course of the year, they grew in confidence and maturity, supporting one another through challenges and celebrating achievements. Their leadership, teamwork, and spirit made a positive impression on the school community. They finish the year united, ready to step into Year 7 with pride and optimism.
Respectful relationships remained central to school life, with the Student Wellbeing Program helping the boys navigate the complexities of social interaction and personal development. Exploring topics such as resilience, conflict resolution, digital citizenship and cyber safety generated greater self-awareness, while consistent exposure to character-building messages
encouraged them to be values-driven, appreciative of opportunities, self-motivated and community minded.
The academic program offered meaningful opportunities to engage in learning and to embody the School values of endeavour and learning.
Activities such as simulating an election, creating a Middle School economy, researching global
issues, undertaking collaborative literature projects, and designing experiments provided a rich variety of experiences and opportunities for growth.
Outside the classroom, the cohort participated in many sporting and cultural activities, demonstrating commitment, enthusiasm and pride in representing the School.
A highlight was the annual trip to Canberra and Sydney, where visits to Parliament House, the Australian War Memorial, the Royal Australian Mint, and other national institutions enriched their understanding of history and government.
Community events enriched the boys’ experience. Grandparents’ Day and the Book Week Breakfast
provided opportunities to celebrate and strengthen connections across the school community. The boys’ pride and engagement was evident throughout.
As the year concludes, sincere thanks are extended to the Year 6 Form Tutors, Ms Child, Mrs Horne, Mr Porter, Ms Ragen, Mr Ross, Ms Salmon and Mr Shears, and to parent representative Mrs Alyson Cooper and parent volunteers for their ongoing support.
It has been a privilege to guide the boys through their first two years of middle schooling, and I wish them every success as they begin Year 7 in 2026.
Mr Paul Kenny Head of Year 6
Year 5
In 2025, Year 5 students came together from some 80 different primary schools to form a wonderful, cohesive cohort.
Most importantly, students have internalised the School’s five core values of community, respect, endeavour, learning and leadership. This has been evident in their everyday respectful interactions with each other and staff, and their endeavour across
all aspect of school life. This was supported by the School’s Protect and Connect ethos which seeks continual improvement in ensuring that students are universally both engaged and safe.
In the academic program, students enjoyed a number of specialist subjects such as Art, Design, Drama, Music, Japanese and Chinese, along with their regular core disciplines. In addition,
students appreciated many special activities out of the classroom such as their excursion to St Helena Island, camp at Tallebudgera, Signature Programs, the Savvy Scientist afternoon, Mother’s Day morning tea, Book Week activities, Interwing competitions, a day at Moogerah and a visit to Australia Zoo.
A major highlight this year was the privilege of being the first cohort to use the new Middle School Library. This has proved to be a wonderful space both for the facilitation of our strong reading culture and as a hub for social connection between boys.
Year 5 students were involved in an endless list of cocurricular
pursuits. These facilitated the building of friendships both within and across core classes as the year progressed. Our youngest students demonstrated leadership in various ways, including conducting public purpose initiatives, running of the sports borrowing shed, helping in the library, reporting for their cocurricular teams and participating in regular class captain meetings.
The Core Year 5 team has been delighted to see the growth in engagement and maturity of the cohort and anticipate a wonderful journey ahead.
Mr Ian Grice Head of Year 5
Student Wellbeing
The 2025 school year was a productive and purposeful one for our Student Wellbeing Programs, with boys involved in a wide range of experiences that strengthened their personal growth, resilience and sense of purpose. Reflecting our holistic approach to education,
the wellbeing curriculum provided meaningful opportunities for students to consider their values, explore key social and emotional themes, and develop practical strategies for managing challenges both in and out of the classroom. Lessons were interactive, prioritising
student voice and encouraging boys to share perspectives, engage in discussion and reflect on who they are and who they aspire to be.
The program reinforced the Protect and Connect Initiative, with its strong emphasis on bullying prevention, respectful relationships and student leadership development. This initiative enabled boys to engage in authentic dialogue, reflect on their responsibilities within the school community and build their capacity to foster safe and supportive peer environments. This was supported by the Days of Significance, a student-led initiative that raised whole-school awareness of important social issues and inspired boys to play an active role in shaping a culture of respect and inclusion.
Guest speakers enriched the program, broadening perspectives and deepening its core message.
Sessions on drug and alcohol awareness, respectful relationships, choices and the law, driver safety and smart digital choices encouraged boys to make informed, responsible decisions in their daily lives. These presentations brought classroom concepts into focus and offered practical insights for navigating the complexities of adolescence in a rapidly changing world.
Leadership was a defining theme across the year, explored through both classroom lessons and wider school initiatives. Boys were encouraged to consider what it means to lead self — setting personal goals, building resilience, and acting with integrity — and how these skills translate into leading others with empathy and responsibility. The Public Purpose Program provided a platform for students to practise these values
in action, while structured workshops offered practical opportunities to strengthen teamwork, communication and decision-making.
The Peer Power organisation continued its long-standing partnership with the school, providing leadership workshops that helped students strengthen their skills and grow as leaders within the community. This year marked the 23rd
consecutive year of Peer Power’s involvement in our Student Wellbeing Programs, a collaboration that equips boys with the skills, confidence, and inspiration to lead with empathy and integrity.
The Student Wellbeing Programs gave boys the chance to grow in confidence, character and connection. The lessons learned and experiences shared this year will continue to shape the way they approach challenges, relationships and leadership well beyond the classroom.
Ms Philippa Douglas Director of Student Wellbeing Programs
Outdoor Education
2025 has been a remarkable year for the Outdoor Education Program, continuing Brisbane Grammar School’s proud tradition of immersive, nature-based learning.
Across all year levels, students have deepened their connection to Country, challenged themselves physically and mentally, and contributed meaningfully to the legacy of outdoor education at BGS.
Year 7 students began a new planting initiative, designed to foster a sense of obligation and connection to Ugarapul Country. This hands-on experience not only enriched their understanding of environmental stewardship but also laid the foundation for lifelong respect for the land.
Year 8 students were the first to hike the newly constructed track to Mt Alford. The project is only made possible by the dedication of the
P&F Auxiliary and the Moogerah Committee. This new route invigorates the hiking experience with a sense of discovery and gratitude.
Year 9 students continued their journey of growth and leadership through their expedition to Bitenbar
and Moogerah (Mt Greville), while Year 10 students undertook a challenging expedition across the Teviot Range toward Moorm (Mt Moon). Each group visited Bitenbar (Pulpit Rock), an ancient place of learning and biodiversity, to reflect
on its cultural and ecological significance.
A standout achievement was the involvement of more than 130 Year 11 students who volunteered as leaders on junior programs. Their mentorship and enthusiasm created powerful cross-cohort connections and enriched the experience for younger students, reinforcing the strength of the BGS community.
The program deepened its partnership with the Julnair Fire Crew, Traditional Owners of Ugarapul Country. Through
collaborative efforts, students and staff learned about traditional fire practices and First Nations’ knowledge, contributing to the restoration and care of Country.
The Moogerah Committee’s commitment was once again evident at the annual working bee. Volunteers restored the original timber slab hut, advanced the interpretive walking track around Bitenbar (Pulpit Rock), and completed extensive maintenance at the Pepperina Hill Centre, ensuring these spaces remain in
place for future generations.
As we look to 2026, we prepare to celebrate 50 years of Outdoor Education at Moogerah. For five decades, BGS boys have embraced the outdoors, faced challenges, and supported one another. These stories, told around campfires and under starry skies, continue to shape the spirit of our school.
Mr Derek Jervis Director of Outdoor Education
Libraries
Senior Library
A Hub of Learning, Inclusion and Creativity
The BGS Senior Library continues to be a dynamic and inclusive space that nurtures academic excellence and personal growth. With a strong focus on information literacy, students are guided to critically assess sources, conduct meaningful research and navigate the digital landscape with confidence skills essential for both academic success
and lifelong learning.
A continued commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is reflected in the evolving book collection, which showcases a broad spectrum of voices, ideas and global perspectives. The library’s atmosphere promotes belonging, and its role in
supporting student wellbeing is evident in the culture of safety and respect that permeates the space.
This year, the library has been a hive of activity. From the engaging Get Caught Reading campaign to the Duke of Edinburgh Award volunteers, students have embraced the library as a vibrant community hub. Displays and events have spotlighted curated topics, sparking curiosity and conversation.
Literacy and the joy of reading remain central. The library actively fosters a recreational reading culture that extends beyond its walls, encouraging students to become thoughtful, empathetic
readers. The Staff Reads collection also provides opportunities for our educators to be involved in reading
for pleasure as well.
Creative expression thrives in the makerspace, where weekly Lego and Warhammer painting clubs bring students together. Science Week was a standout, featuring decoding games, trivia, puzzles and an exciting “Escape the Room” challenge. The launch of the Music Vault collection was celebrated with lunchtime concerts, including a performance by the Year 10 jazz band Light Dark Blue Note.
Supporting classroom learning, the library stays current with AI developments, helping students
verify sources and combat misinformation. This proactive approach ensures students are equipped to engage with emerging technologies responsibly.
BGS libraries are more than just ‘resource centres’, they are foundational spaces that empower students to explore, question and grow. Their role in shaping informed, resilient and curious learners is indispensable.
John Byrne Director of Library Services
Middle School Library
Voyage Extraordinaire: A Year of Discovery in the Middle School Library
2025 has seen the launch of a true Voyage Extraordinaire in the new Middle School Library a journey inspired by the spirit of Jules Verne and powered by curiosity, creativity, and connection. From the very first term, students eagerly explored the library’s inviting nooks and crannies, finding their own space to read, reflect, and imagine. Bathed in warm natural light, the library has become a vibrant hub of learning and inspiration.
In Semester 1, boys embarked on literary adventures through reading, inquiry and innovation. Writers in Residence led masterclasses that ignited imaginations and encouraged students to chart their own writing journeys. With a focus on storytelling and creativity, the library nurtured minds and sparked ideas proving that reading for pleasure is a powerful fuel for intellectual growth.
Term 3 brought the dazzling celebration of Book Week 2025: Book an Adventure. The library transformed into a visual feast of bookish quests — space travel,
road trips and packed suitcases — inviting everyone to browse, borrow and dive into new worlds. Students participated in a Reading Passport challenge and a micro fiction competition, while families joined the joyful Book Week Breakfast featuring author Michael Wagner. An evening panel with authors Carla Salmon, Michael Wagner and Amy Doak offered rich insights into the writing process and the enduring value of reading.
In Term 4, the journey continued with a Book Fair to whet reading
appetites and encourage students to stay on their reading pathway to success.
We know and value that school libraries are more than just rooms with books. They are launchpads for lifelong learning, creativity and community. Libraries empower students to explore ideas, discover passions, and build confidence. In every chapter of a student’s journey, the library makes a difference.
John Byrne Director of Library Services
Visual Arts
Visual Art is thriving as part of the STEAM Precinct at BGS as our students embrace the opportunities for collaborative, critical and creative thinking in the Art classroom.
Learning in Visual Art supports students as they develop into young men of purpose. A passion for protecting our environment is evident in our striking Year 6 lino cuts. Our students were inspired
by the intricate lino cuts of visiting First Nations artist Tamika Grant-Iramu. Our Year 9 students challenged viewers’ perspectives about current social issues through a colourful display of over a 100 painted skate decks in both the STEAM Gallery and the Lilley Centre. Students explored issues ranging from water shortages caused by data storage to the dangers of online gambling.
All eight classes of our Year 10 Art students visited the Phoenix Sculpture Garden at Mt Glorious in Term 1. Students viewed the late Graham Radcliffe’s sculptures in the rainforest as inspiration for their Organic Abstract Sculpture Unit.
We are delighted with the enthusiastic parental support for our Middle and Senior School Art exhibitions. Year 12 student Luke Jacobsen gave an artist talk at the Year 11 and 12 Exhibition evening
event. He combined all STEAM disciplines including some very complex mathematical modelling to create his installation artwork critiquing the Fast Fashion industry.
Luke Jacobsen and Curtis Spencer are among a select group of finalists chosen from 500 entrants across the state to be exhibited at GoMA in 2026 as part of the Creative Generation Excellence Awards in Visual Arts.
It was a pleasure to collaborate with QUT International Fashion Design student and Old Boy Owen Seaborn 23’ on our Sustainable Fashion elective for the Year 8 Innovation Summit. The boys were delighted with the creative upcycled
garments he shared with them. Old Boy Scott Breton 99’ addressed our Year 9, 11 and 12 students about his installation in the STEAM Gallery ‘Perspectives’.
A highlight for our Art staff was Ms Renee Coombe’s selection for the SWELL Sculpture Festival, Queensland’s largest outdoor sculpture exhibition. Renee worked with former BGS teacher Mandy Stuart (2019–2022), to create “What Doesn’t Kill You Mutates and Tries Again.” The work reimagines the resilience of native coastal flora.
Mr Liam Herne also had a solo exhibition at Griffith University earlier this year.
Art continues to be enriched by our vibrant parent support group who facilitate the annual Art Show and Gala Evening, a hugely popular professional exhibition now in its sixth decade. This year, the ASG acquired a major work by rising star and First Nations artist, Arrabella Walker, to our BGS collection. Our staff and students are very grateful to the ASG for funding our Visiting Artist program.
Our staff make all these achievements possible, and I wish to thank all of our Art teachers and teacher aides: Ms Renee Coombe, Ms Lindy Mackintosh, Ms Rebecca Masciantonio, Ms Marnie Hunt, Ms Sarah Kelly, Mr Liam Herne and our Teaching Assistants Mr Maxim Varghese, Ms Meleah Wachtel, Ms Serena Dyson and Ms Nicole Whitson.

Boarding
Boarding Overview | Harlin House | Griffith House
A Year of Connection, Contribution and Courage
Boarding at Brisbane Grammar School has continued to thrive in 2025 thanks to the people, program and places that make this special community what it is. The Boarding virtues of connection, contribution and courage shape
boarders’ experiences and enable their deep connection to one another and the community at large.
A key vehicle for connection has been the much-lauded Boarding Activities Program. The School invested significantly in the program to ensure that the boys of Griffith and Harlin Houses are meaningfully engaged in a diverse range of activities across each weekend, piquing the interests of every boy across the year. Another critical program has been the reinvigorated academic support program that now sees our boarders engaged in 10 hours of tutor-supported study each week. The high-performing staff team has taken great pride in being an extension of parents’ care and concern for their boys. I thank them for their steadfast efforts.
The success of the BGS Boarding
program was only possible through the engagement and support of all boarding parents, for whom we are very grateful. Within the parent body, the Parent Boarder Support Group once again played a pivotal role, notably through their efforts in running the Boarding Coffee and Cake Stall during Open Day. As has become customary, the funds raised contributed to the purchase of the cherished Boarding Polos, which the boys wear with such pride.
Courage develops across all facets of a boarders’ engagement. From those tentative first steps into Griffith or Harlin House, to challenging oneself to partake in an activity never attempted before, to publicly addressing the community
Boarding
at a weekly assembly or the annual boarding dinner — courage is developed in spades. Courage is often the virtue that underpins connection and enables contribution. When reflecting on the incredibly cohesive boarding community, led by a wonderful Boarding Prefect Team, Boarding Vice-Captain Patrick Maher and Boarding Captain Harper Enasio, it is apparent that the courage and sacrifice of many has yielded wonderful outcomes.
As we reflect on 2025, it is clear that BGS Boarding remains a place where young men are nurtured to become confident,
compassionate and capable individuals. Thank you to all who have contributed to making this year such a memorable and meaningful chapter in the story of BGS Boarding.

Harlin House
2025 has been a year of growth, connection and contribution in Harlin House. A key priority has been ensuring every boarder receives pastoral support through building positive relationships with staff and peers, wellbeing initiatives, and academic guidance in both house family groups and prep sessions.
Firstly, a sincere thank you to Boarding Captain, Harper Enasio, and Boarding Vice-Captain, Patrick Maher, along with their team of eight Boarding Prefects, for their leadership and service. Our gratitude also extends to
Mr Tim Holzgrefe, Head of Griffith House, Mrs Debbie Cross, Houseparent, and the Boarding team across the health centre, laundry, maintenance, cleaning, catering, boarding supervisors and tutors, whose daily care, guidance, and commitment have supported the boys throughout the year.
Beyond the walls of Harlin House, our boarders have contributed to almost every facet of school life. Whether on the sporting fields, in the music rooms, through drama productions, or in service to the broader community, boarders have been well represented. Despite being a relatively small house, our influence across the School has been significant, demonstrating the energy, talent and resilience that boarders bring to school life.
This year also saw the establishment of four boarding committees which were chaired by boarding prefects. Food and Culture was chaired by Thierry Kwok, House Activities was chaired by Ian Chow, Public Purpose was chaired by Darcy Lewis, and Wellness and Engagement was chaired by James Anictomatis. These initiatives give students a voice in shaping the day-to-day life
of the house.
The Activities Program has been another highlight, with opportunities ranging from beach trips, theme parks, and wellness hikes, to candlelight concerts, go-karting, and visits to Suncorp Stadium and the Gabba for Super Rugby, NRL and AFL fixtures. Special thanks to Activities Tutor, Mr Jimmy Preston, for his creativity and energy in making this program such a success. Academic support has also been central, with structured evening and Sunday afternoon prep sessions, helping boarders achieve their best across all subjects.
Finally, we thank our parents for their support. In particular, the Boarder Parent Support Group has continued to provide invaluable encouragement and practical assistance, ensuring that BGS Boarding remains a place of belonging, growth and opportunity for all who call it home.

Griffith House
Building Foundations for the Future
2025 has been a vibrant and formative chapter for our junior boarding community in Griffith House. A major focus has been developing self leadership, where boys are encouraged to take ownership of their routines and build essential skills in time management, organisation and personal responsibility. Aligned
with our three core boarding virtues, connection, contribution, and courage, this focus has helped establish strong foundational habits that prepare our Griffith House boys for a confident transition to Harlin House.
This year, we have refined our staffing structure to ensure greater consistency of care. We extend
our sincere thanks to Ms Hannah Mackay, whose presence across all five weekday mornings has been invaluable. Her dedication to providing pastoral support, guidance and structure around morning routines has brought a calm and purposeful start to each day, reinforcing the values and expectations that underpin life in Griffith House.
Our extensive activity program has continued to flourish, offering boys opportunities to develop essential life skills and navigate social interactions in a supportive environment. From cooking and laundry workshops to team-building games and outdoor adventures, these activities are designed to build independence, confidence and camaraderie among the boys.
Student voice remains a cornerstone of our approach, with
Griffith House boys participating in committees that influence daily operations and decision-making. This sense of ownership has been complemented by an outstanding level of engagement in the School’s cocurricular offerings. Whether performing in the Middle School Dramatic Production, performing in music ensembles, joining clubs, or representing the
school in GPS sports, the boys have embraced every opportunity with enthusiasm and pride.
Finally, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the parents and families of Griffith House. Your ongoing support, trust and partnership have been instrumental in forging strong connections and ensuring the best possible outcomes for every boy in
our care. Together, we continue to build a nurturing and empowering environment that sets the stage for lifelong success.

In my time as a member of Athene Club, meetings have ranged from spirited exchanges over long-standing controversies to quiet, thoughtful explorations of less trodden topics. What has always remained constant, however, is the atmosphere of curiosity. Members gather to share their own thoughts, engage with others’ ideas and often leave with more questions than answers.
A testament to the variety of perspectives and interests gathered from both BGS and BGGS, every paper this year presented a unique yet relevant issue — along with a different set of ethical dilemmas.
Vincent van Brunschot challenged us to consider the
true nature of consciousness and whether it is evolution’s greatest success or mistake. Roc Woodhouse deconstructed the historical beliefs behind eugenics and encouraged us to weigh up the ethics of modern genetic engineering technology. Our BGGS counterparts also prompted us to delve into topics ranging from the link between brain rot and misogyny to the existential fear of death.
Thank you to our coordinators, Mr Howes and Ms Genders, as well as BGGS President Valerie Yu for making Athene Club possible despite another busy school year. It has been an honour to have been a part of this club for the past two years. In an increasingly
polarised world focused on dividing right from wrong, Athene Club reminds us of the importance of deep discussion rather than mere debate. This gathering teaches us that as much — if not more — value lies in the collective pursuit for answers rather than the answers themselves.
With the ever-changing concerns of our time, I’m confident there will be many more papers delivered, many more hands tentatively raised and much more valuable insight for future Athenians to share.

Duke of Edinburgh and Bridge Award
The Duke of Edinburgh (DoE) Award is an internationally recognised program that challenges young people to build resilience, skills, leadership and community spirit through service, physical activity, skill development and adventurous journeys. It has been a longstanding part of the Cocurricular program at BGS, with hundreds of students completing Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards over the decades.
This year, we were proud to see four students achieve their Gold Award. These boys will have their names added to the Honour Board at Pepperina Hill, which records the achievements of BGS Gold Award recipients dating back to the 1970s. Alongside this, eight current students completed their Silver Award and 24 achieved their Bronze Award, which is an outstanding effort.
To earn a DoE Award, students dedicate significant hours across the four core areas of Physical Recreation, Skill Development, Voluntary Service and complete an Adventurous Journey. The Adventurous Journey is always a highlight. While some students choose to complete this with
external providers, many take up expeditions designed by our Outdoor Education staff.
In the June holidays, Bronze, Silver and Gold participants embarked on an unforgettable eight-day challenge across two of Queensland’s most breathtaking national parks. The first four days were spent in Girraween National Park, where students scaled iconic landmarks, including The Pyramid, Turtle Rock and Mt Norman. Bronze participants completed their journey here, while Silver and Gold participants pressed on to the rugged beauty of Sundown National Park. There, they explored Red Rock Gorge, trekked along the Severn River and navigated challenging terrain before camping each night under a blanket of stars. This immersive experience not only fulfilled the Adventurous Journey requirements but also tested resilience, teamwork and perseverance, while deepening each participant’s connection with the environment.
Participants in the Bridge Award have enjoyed another exciting year. Designed for Year 7 and 8 students, the Bridge Award mirrors the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze level
with reduced time commitments. Participants engaged in community service and Outdoor Education expeditions, including hikes through the Moggerah Peaks National Park. Two students achieved their Level 2 certificate, while many Level 1 participants are set to continue their journey in 2026 by progressing into the Duke of Edinburgh program.
We congratulate all Duke of Edinburgh and Bridge Award participants for their achievements this year, and for their commitment to personal growth and giving back to the community.
Crystal Thompson and Sophie Lusk Award Leaders
FFG Faith Fellowship Group
The Senior School Faith Fellowship Group (FFG) provides Years 9 to 12 students with opportunities to explore life’s deeper questions through a faith-based lens.
Students meet at the start of each term to plan events and regularly gather before school for year-level discussions. This year featured an end of term lunch and afternoon gathering to strengthen connections across year levels.
The annual FFG camp at Camp Somerset during the Easter holidays was a highlight, attended by 61 students. Participants enjoyed
fun activities and thoughtful discussions exploring faith themes through The Matrix. The involvement of Old Boy leaders added greatly to the experience.
The group continues to model leadership through service, with many senior students supporting Middle School FFG meetings and camps. We farewelled a wonderful group of Year 12 students whose energy and commitment have greatly enriched the FFG community. They will be sorely missed.
While FFG in the Middle School explores deeper life themes, it does so in the context of fun interactive activities and discussions. Friday lunchtime activities in CB101 and CB102 involved around 40 students on average. Years 7 and 8 students participated in discussions on Tuesdays at morning tea. Students do not have to have a particular personal belief to enjoy attending.
During the September holidays, 115 Middle School students attended one of three camp options on offer – residential camps at Moogerah and a day camp based at Spring Hill. As well as lots of fun activities, students explored Christian beliefs using the theme of superheroes.
Noël Chan and Ian Grice Faith Fellowship Group Coordinators
Greening Grammar
Greening Grammar continues to grow as a student-led force for environmental awareness and action. 2025 has been a year of purposeful initiatives, consistent teamwork and new opportunities coming together to make a tangible difference.
At our regular meetings, students drove a range of projects. These included continuing
with Containers for Change until an unacceptable level of contamination was found in the dedicated C4C bins. Rather than viewing this as a setback, the group recognised it as a valuable opportunity to investigate behaviours surrounding the use of bins. By monitoring waste across Middle and Senior School spaces, students identified that the contamination reflected a wider community misunderstanding of how materials should be treated. This prompted discussions about new procedures and improved infrastructure to improve misuse and build longer-term habits.
The group launched the Change for Change Challenge, encouraging students and families to return containers through the Queensland recycling scheme. Returns were tracked, generating healthy competition between students while also developing the skills, awareness and responsibility needed to influence sustainable practices beyond the School. The first round of competition was
won by Year 10 student Cooper Euston, who collected 2,047 cans and bottles, earning both a $50 gift card and $204.70 from his returns.
Another highlight was when four members represented BGS at the Tangalooma EcoMarines Conference. Year 10 Alex Du, Year 9 Jamie Greig, Year 8 Samuel Dabelstein and Year 8 William French spent the day workshopping with students from across Queensland on strategies such as energy-saving construction, correct treatment of waste to reduce landfill, and portside initiatives to minimise upstream sedimentation. Students also had the unforgettable experience of feeding the dolphins.
We look forward to what next year brings for Greening Grammar members and EcoMarines stewards, in preparing them to be active contributors to a more sustainable future.
Ms Sara Bell Coordinator
Public Purpose
Brisbane Grammar School began the year with students demonstrating remarkable commitment to service and fundraising. The Starlight Super Swim saw 19 students raise $11,220 for the Starlight Children’s Foundation, followed by the World’s
Greatest Shave, where over 50 students shaved or coloured their hair, contributing a record-breaking $74,000 to the Leukaemia Foundation. These campaigns marked the highest fundraising totals in BGS history. The Guide Dogs Youth Ambassador Program also made a significant impact, raising over $2,500 through sustained efforts. Service initiatives flourished throughout the year. The Eat Up program united students, staff and parents to prepare 6,000 cheese sandwiches for students who go hungry at schools across South-east Queensland. The Days of Significance Group led awareness campaigns around mental health and inclusion, embracing Safer Internet Day, Harmony Week, Bullying No Way
Week, Child Protection Week and R U OK? Day to foster meaningful conversations across the school.
Academic support remained a cornerstone of the School’s Public Purpose Program. The Homework Club, in partnership with Communify, continued to assist students from Kelvin Grove State College. Students in Years 6 and 11 launched a Yarn Collection Project to support a group that practices conversational English while knitting. The Reading Club, now in its third year, saw students from Years 7 to 10 mentor young readers at Brisbane Central State School, while the Middle School Homework Club provided peer-topeer academic support.
THE BRISBANE GRAMMAR
In Terms 2 and 3, students rallied behind Hope in a Suitcase, assembling 42 suitcases filled with essentials for children entering foster care. Every Year 9 Tutor Group contributed at least one suitcase, and numerous Year 10 Tutor Groups also making generous contributions. Each suitcase offered dignity and comfort to children in crisis.
In June, over 500 students participated in The Push-Up Challenge, completing 3214 push-ups to honour lives lost to suicide in 2023. The initiative raised over $12,000 for Lifeline and Headspace, sparking vital conversations around mental health.
Term 3 also saw students sleep out in support of Brisbane Youth Service, raising awareness for youth homelessness. Daggy Jumper Day complemented the initiative, highlighting empathy and action.
The year concluded with the Christmas Hamper Appeal, run with the St Vincent de Paul Society. Students collected non-perishable
items to support families in need. These achievements, led by passionate students and dedicated teachers, reflect the strength of a school community committed to making a lasting difference.
Dr Kerry Benson Public Purpose Leader
Public Speaking
What does it take to appeal to an audience of your peers? More than ever, audiences crave authentic voices that draw their attention to the small, personal moments that say something about the big, shared experiences of being human.
This year’s speakers gave us insight into what matters in 2025.
Middle School students offered bold ideas and fresh perspectives, with speakers tackling topics about life, learning and identity. From questioning how much time we spend on screens and celebrating the lessons learned through sport, to exploring why boredom fuels creativity and how a Rubik’s cube can mirror life’s challenges, speeches blended humour, reflection and practical wisdom. Audiences were drawn into stories that uncovered personal quirks, family dynamics and the power of language, while also revealing perspectives about overthinking, resilience and self-expression.
In Years 9 to 12, speeches used everyday moments, such as family interactions, hobbies and schoolwork, as springboards
for philosophical explorations of life, responsibility and purpose. Delivered with confidence and authenticity, the speeches instilled hope that young people still value what’s genuine, not what’s generated.
We were saddened to learn that Old Boy Ronald Wyllie (1947-1948) passed away at the end of 2024. Mr Wyllie was an enthusiastic advocate for public speaking, donating the Year 12 prize to
encourage participation. Until 2023, he was a regular audience member at the Year 12 competition, with the boys’ efforts and skills bringing him great delight. We extend our sympathy to his family and express our gratitude for his support over the years.

Science Extension Activities
This year has been filled with exciting opportunities for students in the science extension space.
In May, 78 students participated in the Big Science Competition, a global online event for Years 7 to 10. The 50-minute, multiple-choice test challenges students’ scientific knowledge, critical thinking and problem-solving skills through real-world contexts.
Mapped to the Australian Science Curriculum, our students performed above the national average across all metrics.
Later in the same month, 34 students took part in the Junior Science Olympiad, offered at both the Years 7–8 and Years 9–10 levels. These annual exams are renowned for their rigour. Eight students achieved High Distinction (top 10 per cent), and seven earned Distinction (next 20 per cent).
In Term 3, 76 students from Years 10 and 11 participated in the Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science, and Physics Olympiad competitions. These exams extend students beyond the classroom and demand deep conceptual understanding.
Five students achieved High Distinction, and 13 achieved Distinction. Notably, Callum Deacon has been invited to the Australian Biology Olympiad Summer School,
in January 2026, placing him among the top 24 biology students in the country. This intensive program, equivalent to first-year university studies, is the next step in selection for the 2026 Australian team.
Beyond the classroom, 17 students entered the Australian Brain Bee Challenge, exploring neuroscience and brain function. Terry Lee, Thomas Scott and Lucas Qu qualified for the State Finals in July, where our students also won the highest performing team prize. These achievements reflect the dedication, curiosity and talent of our science students. We look forward to seeing them continue to excel and embrace new challenges in the years ahead.

Student Reconciliation Action Group
This year the Student Reconciliation Action Group marked Closing the Gap Day, on Thursday 20 March. Closing the Gap is about working towards equality in health, education and opportunities for First Nations Australians and we wanted to do our part in raising awareness. To support the cause, we ran a BBQ lunch and raised $2,200 for Red Dust, an organisation that partners with remote communities to deliver health, wellbeing and reconciliation programs for young people. At assembly, School Captain and fellow Reconciliation Action Group member Luke Saywell
reminded us that Closing the Gap is a responsibility we all share.
For National Sorry Day and Reconciliation Week, we again raised awareness through our assembly addresses and fundraised another $2,200 for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF). This is the fourth year we have supported ILF, which works alongside remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to create and share culturally relevant books, resources and programs. The organisation is community-led and even helps communities publish their own stories in their own languages, a mission we are proud to back.
During NAIDOC Week, Year 12 student Lennon Bann delivered a powerful speech on the importance of all Australians coming together to celebrate our shared history. Even though NAIDOC Week fell in the mid-year holidays, BGS still celebrated with the annual Boarders vs Day Boys Buroinjin match. This game has become a highlight of the year, and we were lucky enough to captain the teams once again. Each side includes players from every year level, making it a true whole-school event. For the first time, the Boarders claimed victory
by just one point. Beyond the match, NAIDOC Week was also marked by our Basketball and Rugby Firsts teams wearing specially made socks featuring artwork by our First Nations boarders. Watching the teams play in them was a proud moment and we are keen to keep this tradition going.
Our final project for the year is one that is close to our hearts: the football boot collection for AFL House in Cairns. This initiative was started five years ago by Old Boy Sean Forrest, and we are proud to carry on his legacy. The boots donated by the BGS community will go to footy players in Cairns, giving them the gear they need to play the game they love.
Each of these initiatives reminds us that reconciliation is not just about awareness but about action. We are grateful for the support of the BGS community and look forward to building on these projects in our final year of leading the group next year.
Caleb Kenward and Jed Siganto Student Reconciliation Action Group Captains
Titration
In Term 2, BGS proudly had six teams of dedicated students compete in the RACI Queensland Titration Competition. This challenging event tasked these young chemists with determining the number of moles in a given acid through precise acid-base titrations. The competition not only tested their scientific skills but also required sharp mathematical and analytical abilities to handle complex calculations and achieve results with remarkable precision— within a quarter of a drop or less. A small error could significantly impact their final results.
To prepare for this rigorous challenge, our Year 11 and 12 students engaged in intensive weekly training sessions throughout Terms 1 and 2. They familiarised themselves with a variety of scientific tools, including burettes, bulb fillers, and pipettes. 519 students from 50 schools. The hard work of BGS students paid off with Year 12 students Sean Huang, Will Yuen and Chris Zhu securing third place in the competition, with Chris Zhu achieving a perfect score.
12 students for their impressive individual achievements: Alexander Du, Dominic Fan, Henry Fan, Will Yuen and Chris Zhu were all awarded a High Distinction while Thierry Kwok and Sean Huang were awarded a Distinction.
We also extend our congratulations to Year 10, 11 and
Our Year 9 and 10 students also dedicated themselves to preparing for future competitions by mastering titration techniques and calculations. Additionally, our junior chemists delved into the fascinating world of crystal growth by cultivating copper sulphate crystals. Over the two terms, they honed their methods to produce brilliant, vivid blue diamondshaped crystals.
For those passionate about chemistry, we encourage you to join the Titration Club. It’s open to both Juniors (Years 9-10) and Seniors (Years 11-12). We eagerly anticipate another successful season of titrations in 2026.

STEAM Programs
Astronomy Club
The Astronomy Club thrived in 2025, with students exploring nebulae, the Moon and planets using Dwarf II Smart Telescopes and a new sky-tracking optical scope. A highlight included the Moogerah Night Viewing, and despite the chilly conditions, the boys bonded as they stayed up late to enjoy the wonders of the night sky while collecting data. Friday meetings consisted of fun discussions about black holes, exoplanets and cosmology. Looking ahead to 2026, the club plans to integrate Generative AI and coding into astrophotography projects.
STEM Racing
STEM Racing is where students apply engineering, enterprise and teamwork to design, build and race miniature F1-style cars. Guided by staff, teams iterate through CAD, testing and race strategy while preparing portfolios and presentations. This year four teams contested the QLD Regional Finals hosted by The Southport School: one in Cadet Class and three in Professional Class. Our Professional teams finished first, second and third, with the top two teams invited to the State Finals in Townsville; our Cadet team placed fourth. Congratulations to all students for their efforts this year.
Future Problem Solving
In 2025, 30 students in Years 7 to 11 joined BGGS students to research the topics of Food Security, Rising Sea Levels and Agricultural Technology to demonstrate their thinking skills.
Congratulations to the two BGGS teams that qualified for the National Final held in October.
Thanks to Miss Gabby Morris (BGS), Mrs Jess Shackleton (BGGS) and Mr Jon Grant (BGGS) for their support of the students and program this year.
Game Design
Students made remarkable progress as emerging game designers in 2025. Many began with no experience, but quickly developed confidence in coding, design thinking and project management. Felix Swane impressed with his hand-drawn game art, creating a vibrant retro 2D world that brought his team’s concept to life. Meanwhile, Marcus Kneipp demonstrated outstanding coding skills, building the game’s core systems with clean, efficient logic and implementing advanced mechanics that elevated the player experience.
Grammar Coding
Grammar Coding thrived in 2025 through a strong collaboration with Junior Engineers giving students the chance to extend their coding skills in a supportive and innovative environment. Participants included Aatreya Vikram, Asher Di Lizio, Austin Hu, Christopher Chan, Clement P.H.

Together, they embraced problem-solving, teamwork and creative coding challenges.
Lapidary Club
The Lapidary Club encourages creativity and hands-on learning. Students craft beautiful cabochons from various types of rock, explore mineralogy and develop skills in shaping and polishing stone. Many participants choose to craft jewellery as gifts, as well as for their own personal collection or portfolio. Members connect, learn from each other and gain confidence in practical skills, as well as discovering the fascinating world of rocks and gems.
Maker Spaces
Maker Spaces continues to thrive as a dynamic, hands-on club for Years 5 to 12, where students explore tools, materials and design through creative, self-directed projects. This year saw growth in manual tool use, CNC machining and timber-based creations, with younger students excelling in 3D board game design. The club develops innovation, confidence and a strong sense of community.
Model United Nations
The Model United Nations Program offers students the opportunity to practice policymaking and negotiation in action through dynamic simulations, exploring issues ranging from international relations and history to public health, climate science, demographics and economics. This year, our team proudly competed in the prestigious Evatt Competition, demonstrating both skill and collaboration in a highly competitive environment. Congratulations to Year 11 students Eamman Conomos and Joshua de Jager securing a place in the semi-finals, a testament to their dedication and the strength of our Model United Nations program.
Junior Robotics (Years 5 and
6)
Students joined the annual FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Challenge, launching into a hands-on adventure in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Teamwork. This year’s theme, Unearthed, challenged teams to program LEGO SPIKE robots for archaeology-inspired missions, while also researching preservation challenges and proposing innovative solutions.

This year’s Robotics off-season has been a successful one, with 80 boys fiercely competing across seven teams for a spot in the main season. Congratulations also to our 18 boys who were selected to compete in the regional and national level competitions for the First Tech Challenge in November.
STEAM Tank
STEAM Tank highlighted entrepreneurial innovation as Year 9 students Aaron Cheng, Chris McKay, Edward Thai, Ethan Cao, Ethan Peake, Flynn Oliver, Gabriel Levy, Jeffrey Yu, Kusha Zareie, Leo Lee, Luka Rodins, Maxim Mirkovic, Riley Garner, Shree Bhatt, Soham Kapur and Vernon Wu pitched creative solutions to real-world challenges. Guided by Old Boys Julian Campbell ‘12 and Toby Vann ‘07 and supported by Ms Kate Stevenson, Director of Continuous Improvement, the program fostered entrepreneurial thinking, problem-solving and industry engagement, while giving students the chance to refine their ideas in a professional setting.
STEAM Enterprise Groups
Coffee Groups
Our student-led coffeemaking business was an engaging initiative that provided invaluable realworld experience. Beyond perfecting coffee and beverage preparation, the activity challenged us to create effective team management strategies as we navigated each shift under pressure to deliver consistent service quality and manage inventory.

Enterprise Juniors
Our Enterprise Juniors group, comprising of students in Years 5 to 8, enjoyed a hands-on program which sparked their curiosity about how to turn business ideas into action. Students developed their
skills in generating and refining entrepreneurial ideas, before collaborating to pitch their concepts with confidence in an economic environment.
Kate Stevenson Enterprise Program Leader
Ecoman
Ecoman is a fast-paced, two-day economic simulation. Designed to mirror the pressures of corporate
decision-making, students competed in executive roles within a virtual coffee-machine manufacturing company. The simulation was not only a test of our economic understanding but also a valuable lesson in adaptability, communication and problem-solving.

ASX Sharemarket Game
More than 20,000 students from 800 schools around the country took part in the ASX Schools Sharemarket Game. BGS had 390 students, from Years 7 to 12, participate in the online competition. The game builds an understanding of how investing works in the sharemarket, using a virtual portfolio of $50K. Students learn about researching companies and the importance of wise investment decisions.
Mrs Natalie Berndt Head of Economics
Australian Business Week Competition
Earlier this term, teams of Year 11 students participated in the ABW Enterprise Education program, an immersive hospitality simulation designed to mirror the intricacies of running a successful hotel chain. Over the course of the simulation, students assumed a variety of critical management roles and worked together to make decisions in areas such as
marketing strategies, maximising revenue, customer satisfaction and expanding hotel acquisitions.
Teams navigated through realistic business case studies and confronted dynamic market conditions whilst competing with peers to achieve the highest share price. This competition fostered deep analytical thinking, planning and strategic action to act with efficiency and balance financial performance.
ABW offered a practical and engaging glance into the real-world application of classroom learning and encouraged collaboration, adaptability and leadership development, enabling participants to gain valuable experience and professional skills.

2025 has been a year in which Music has thrived in the BGS community and beyond. The most significant aspect of the program is our weekly lessons and rehearsals in which our young musicians learn, grow and mature as performers. For this, we pay tribute to the wonderful team of teachers and tutors who make this a reality.
It has been exciting to see the boys blossom this year, showcasing their musical offerings across a huge variety of concerts, festivals and events.
The regular term concerts continue to grow and are now huge events with all our ensembles having a regular opportunity to
perform for family and friends. Worthy of highlighting are the Term 3 themed concerts, in which ensembles explored the music of the sea at the Oceana concert. They also took their audiences to outer space at the Space Odyssey concert, and celebrated at the annual Latin Fiesta. Other concerts and festivals also captivated our audience members with the four String Festivals again a highlight.
Grammar in Concert; Force of Nature was truly something to behold. From its magnificent opening when hundreds of singers surrounded the audience with music with their rendition of “Circle
of Life”, to a mesmerising ending from the Grammar Symphony Orchestras that left the audience spellbound with “Rhapsody in Blue”, it truly was a concert to remember.
Our boys also ventured to Adelaide for the Australian Combined Schools Music Festival with 20 BGS boys qualifying for this gathering of the some of the nation’s finest student musicians. After four days of incredibly intense but fun rehearsals and social gatherings, the professional standard of the final concert was a tribute to the dedication of our boys. The year ended with a touch of sadness as we farewelled our beloved Head of Strings, Mr Stephen Chin after 32 years of incredible service. BGS events will never be quite the same without him.

Dramatic Productions
Our 2025 BGS Dramatic Productions season showcased exciting and thought-provoking theatre which challenged our audiences to consider the paths we lead and the choices that shape them.
Senior Dramatic Production Rhinoceros
In Term 2, the BGS Drama Department presented Eugène Ionesco’s darkly comic and chillingly relevant Rhinoceros. This year’s production embraced the unsettling absurdity of the text, inviting the audience to sit with confusion rather than clarity. In a world where we crave coherence, Rhinoceros demands the opposite—it asks us to pay attention to what happens when logic fractures and certainty erodes. Our staging reflected this instability: the brutalist set was transformable and stark, shifting with the psychology of the characters. Harsh lighting fractured reality, and sound design blurred the lines between internal thought and external noise. This production did not aim to offer answers. Instead, it created space for reflection—for noticing the quiet surrenders, the unseen shifts, and the moments where we stop asking questions. Amidst the absurdity, there remains a fragile but vital thread of hope: that resistance, even when uncertain and solitary, still matters.
Recalibrate
An Interactive experience: Play. Watch. Think.
Throughout Term 2 and Term 3, our Year 9 students engaged in Queensland Theatre’s ‘The Scene Project’. This project provided an opportunity for our students to develop their devising, performance and technical skills as they engaged with Hayden Jones and Sam Foster’s Recalibrate Students presented their 15-minute performance to four other schools at Queensland Theatre and also had an interactive experience in the Lilley Centre, where audiences not only witnessed the performance but also watched a microdocumentary of the experience’s various other interactive elements.
Middle School Dramatic Production
Heirs
In Term 4, our Middle School students (Year 5 – 8) presented their very own jukebox musical Heirs in the BGS Theatre. Conceptualised and written by Grammar’s own Mr Jeffrey Lewis, Miss Chloe Aldred, Mrs Amy Irvine and Miss Sabrina
Wall, Heirs followed four young demigods who, despite their extraordinary birthrights, found themselves overwhelmed by the lofty expectations placed upon them. Each longed for something different than the roles others seemed to want for them. At
its heart, Heirs is a story of selfdiscovery, courage, friendship and redefining greatness. “You don’t have to live up to a legacy. You can live beyond it.”
Ben Newth Head of Drama

Basketball
The Basketball program continued to grow and evolve, with a focus on individual player development and competitive match results each week in the GPS competition. Across all year levels, from our emerging Year 5 students through to our Senior squads, the growth in the boys’ skill and teamwork was outstanding.
BGS teams played a total of 256 GPS games in 2025, finishing with a 61% win rate, which reflects the hard work, preparation and competitive spirit displayed across the program, with guidance from our team of very experienced
and committed coaches. Our 10A, 9C, Fourths and Thirds were all crowned GPS Premiers, a wonderful reward for their collective hard work throughout the nine-week GPS season, while our combined Years 9 and 10 team claimed the title of Champion Basketball School of Queensland (D2).
Several students achieved individual recognition beyond school representation. We had representative players in all year levels across various associations. Zachary Vasta (Year 7) and Leo Li (Year 6) were crowned State Champions after winning the Queensland title with Met North.
Luke Carter (Year 11), Armaan Timblo (Year 11) and Xavier Grey (Year 10) won an Under 18 D2 State Championship for the Brisbane Capitals. Gus Loughnan (Year 10), Angus Kearney (Year 12) and Lennon Bann (Year 12) represented Queensland at the Under 18 National Championships, demonstrating the strength of the BGS player pathway. Additionally, Lennon Bann achieved an extraordinary success in winning the Under 18 State Championship and contributing to an NBL1
Championship, a rare feat for a high school athlete.
The program also provided outstanding opportunities for our younger students. A season highlight was the Brisbane Bullets running a memorable clinic with our Year 5 students, inspiring the next generation of basketballers. These achievements would not be possible without the dedication of our wonderful coaching staff as well as the support and leadership from all levels of our school community. Finally, I would like to thank all parents and carers for the enormous commitment you undertake to ensure the boys are able to participate in Basketball.

Chess
Having placed second or third to a dominant ACGS since the last BGS Premiership in 2019, the BGS Chess Program came into the 2025 season ready to work hard and build upon the incremental success of previous years.
For the past five seasons, BGS Chess has prioritised the development of all players, with a view to building a dominant program, not a just a winning Premier Team. Efforts have been made to source the best coaches, with sessions tailored to students of all skill levels. Participation and growth have been the guiding principles. Team culture has been orientated around the collective,
not just the performance of a few key players. In 2025, these strategic imperatives have paid off. Of all the permutations and possibilities, our program found the pathway to a winning position. Players took responsibility for their own performance but knew that they were always playing as part of a team and as a result, we have had a dominant season.
Our season was set up with an unexpected and hard-fought victory against ACGS in the first round. Through the remainder of the season, players in the Premier and other divisions maintained their composure and focus with the understanding that the program
would rise or fall on the back of a whole-team effort. Close rounds were had against the consistently strong BSHS team, and there were some tense moments against GT, IGS and BBC. The Spirit Round held at Nudgee College gave our boys the opportunity to lift the trophy in the presence of all GPS schools and capped off a brilliant season. Our Premier team broke the GPS Premiership drought to secure a victory on the back of an undefeated run, and 11 of the 12 other BGS teams also secured premierships in this way.
Beyond GPS, BGS has also made the State Finals for the Queensland Inter-School Chess Championships and will be sending two teams in both the Senior and Junior divisions.
We are indebted to departing seniors Alvin Shen (Captain) and Gordon Chen (Vice Captain) whose leadership and humility have steered and grounded the program through what has been an exciting season.

Chess Captain
The 2025 GPS Chess season saw Grammar’s 13 teams dominate, with 12 winning their divisions and the Premier team claiming the Premiership for the first time since 2019. Chess has taught me valuable life skills, and I thank my peers, parents and staff for their support.

Cricket
Despite losing two GPS rounds to extreme weather conditions, the Cricket Program had another successful season in 2025, with over 415 boys participating across 35 teams. The program achieved a winning percentage of over 53%, with nearly two-thirds of GPS teams finishing in the top three of their division. Notable achievements included 10 five-wicket hauls, one hat-trick and a record-breaking eight centuries. Additionally, six centuries were scored in pre-season trial matches, and there were 10 partnerships exceeding 100 runs. Congratulations to the 9B and 8D teams for remaining undefeated, along with the 7C, 7D, 8C, 10C, 10D and Third XI teams, who topped their divisions.
Special congratulations to the following boys who received awards for their performances throughout the season.

Cross Country
The 2025 season was a great success with the team achieving second place in both the Junior (10–12 years) and Senior (13 years–Open) Championship events. In addition, BGS won the GPS Shield which is awarded each year to the school which accumulates the most points across the six lead up meets. These outstanding results are reflective of the enormous effort
put in by all of the boys and coaches.
Limestone Park was typically warm and dry by the time racing commenced on the day of the Championships; perfect conditions for running. In the 11 years race, our top six (scoring runners) all finished in the top 20, winning their division. Our 12 years runners came second in their division, which combined with a strong performance in the 10 Year division to place us second overall. Success in the Senior Championships was built on consistency. With no standout age group, it took a combined effort from all runners to collect as many points as possible on the hilly course. With our 13, 15 and 16-year-old divisions all achieving second place, our Open runners only needed to hold their nerve, dig deep on the hills and gain every point possible to secure second place overall.
This result is a significant improvement on recent years and
is testament to efforts made by every runner throughout the season.
Special mention must go to Luke Duncan (Captain) and Armon Cardell (Vice Captain) who led the team with distinction. They turned up to every session, encouraged the younger runners and demonstrated the grit and determination required to achieve personal bests.
We are looking forward to the 2026 season as we look to go one better next year and bring home the Championship trophy.

Cross Country Captain
The 2025 GPS Cross Country season was a great success for BGS. The boys pushed through every training session, every lead up meet and every early morning to improve. The level of commitment showed as BGS took out the GPS Cross Country shield and placed an overall second place in the Championships. This season has improved greatly on last year’s performance and has paved the way for next year to be even better.

Debating
2025 has been an incredible season for GPS and QDU Debating. We registered 46 teams and participated in 231 debates across both competitions, from Years 5 to 12, across the year.
We had a winning rate of 75% in GPS and 11 premierships, and a 63% winning rate in QDU, with our 9.2 team reaching the semifinal and our 10.1 and Senior A teams reaching the Grand Final. Our Senior A team took the QDU Championship in an outstanding debate and Lucas Lu, our Debating Captain, was named best speaker.
Lucas was also selected as a member of the Australian National Team and spoke at the Grand Final of the World Schools Debating Championship (WSDC),
being ranked 20th best speaker in the world. Representing BGS at the WSDC was also our Senior A Coach, Thomas Nunn-Rutledge, who was selected as the Coach for the National Team.
enthusiastic and professional work of our external, Old Boy coaches, and teacher and student coaches.
As well as our training for and participation in GPS and QDU, we offered skills development workshops, and a series of training sessions and debates for those students who didn’t make a team this year.
With an ever-growing program and an increasingly competitive environment, we are proud to represent our long-standing BGS Debating tradition. The breadth and success of our program would not be possible without the
We thank all our supporters, debaters, parents and coaches for their unwavering commitment to Debating and the passion they bring to every round. For all the late evening debates, all the early morning trainings, and all the research, case-prep and practice that everyone has contributed to, we thank you all deeply
Ms Dana Schottlaender Debating Director
Words from Lucas Lu
Debating Captain
As with all good things, the 2025 Debating season must come to an end. BGS teams were highly successful this year in both the GPS and QDU competitions. Special thanks must go to the coaches and staff,
especially our Debating Director Ms Schottlaender, for running this program. Debating is an enriching, if sometimes arbitrary activity, and the reward it yields is worth the work you put in.

Fencing Captain
It has been an honour to lead the Fencing program alongside our Vice Captain, Will Yuen. This year was one of incredible success thanks to a strong turnout from both the boys and their families.

Football
The 2025 Football season will rank among the best in school history. Our First XI broke an 18-year drought to win the Premiership with a 5-1 demolition of TSS in Round 9 to secure top spot. In front of a packed grandstand at Northgate, Captain of Football Vincent Van Brunschot was able
to lift the trophy. The boys also won the pre-season tournament down at TSS in the Easter holidays. Congratulations to Vincent and all First XI players who can proudly call themselves GPS Champions. Overall, the program enjoyed a strong campaign with 13 teams finishing as ladder leaders. A huge congratulations to Second XI who also ended a 10-year hiatus by securing the title against BBC in Round 8. The following teams enjoyed undefeated league campaigns: 11B, 9B, 10C, 9D, 8D, 7C, 7D with 11B scoring 56 goals and only conceding three and 9D scoring 40 and only letting in one all year. Other teams to finish in top spot included the Third XI, 10A, 10B and 8B.
The Football Program continues
to grow year on year. 2025 saw 792 boys registered and over 337 games completed in GPS competitions. A huge thank you as always to our Wembley Club whose continued support enables the boys to benefit from the best equipment and facilities available. To Mr Don Myles and his team at Northgate, thank you for getting us through yet another season of rain. Lastly, to members of the Cocurricular team, many thanks for the organisation and assistance.

Gymnastics
2025 was another successful GPS Gymnastics Season. We had another clean sweep in the Foundation Cup, making it 15 years straight. Along with BGS reclaiming the Lead Up Meet Series, many of our gymnasts also competed throughout the year in external competitions with great success.
BGS Championships went smoothly in what was the perfect competition leading into the Foundation Cup. It was a display of sportsmanship and friendly competition throughout the day. I would like to congratulate our three all around champions of each division: Oliver Skinner (Division 3), Jordan Hetherington (Division 2) and Sebastian Ashby-Cliffe (Division 1).
The Foundation Cup was always going to be a competitive affair, and our entire team came focused and with the mindset to fight for every point. Leading the charge was our Division 3 team, who started the day well with a win. Our Division 1 and 2 teams hit the floor
with confidence from this result and knew they could attack their routines. Division 2 were solid, taking out the competition, and our Division 1 team only just getting above a tough BSHS team in what was an impressive display.
Our gymnasts took part in external competitions, and I want to make mention to the following results: at State Championships, Kipling Heard, Gergo Csoka, Caden Williams, Aedan Perel and Sebastian Ashby-Cliffe all got on the podium for AA for their respective levels. Caden Williams, Aedan Perel and Sebastian AshbyCliffe were selected into the Queensland team.
I would like to thank everyone who made this season possible. Firstly, the MAGS group, who volunteered throughout the year to make the season what it was. Also, the entire coaching team. All of whom gave countless hours to our gymnasts and never lost sight
of what we were hoping to achieve as a team. Thank you to Mr John Robertson, Mr Simon Constable, Mr Scott Costin, Mr Lachlan Rowan for their dedication. A special thank you to Mr Curtis Hooper, who took on many extra responsibilities throughout the year and performed them to the highest standards. Thank you to everyone within BGS who has supported the Gymnastics program in 2025.

BGS Rowing enjoyed a highly successful 2025 season, marking significant progress in our ongoing improvements as a team. This year saw us welcome over 200 students from Years 8 to 12, with more than 50 Year 8 students participating in our Learn to Row program. Involvement remained strong across the senior years, with the School fielding a ‘fullstrength’ team, including eight Year 10 Quads, three Year 11 Eights, and three Opens Eights.
The Head of the River saw our team achieve pleasing results, finishing second in the Old Boys’ Cup with 96 points. BGS crews secured 13 podium finishes across Years 9 to 12. The Open First VIII delivered an outstanding performance in the O’Connor Cup, achieving second place in a high-quality field of crews from all schools, while the Year 11 First VIII secured a gold medal — showing great promise for the future. Year 10 crews demonstrated good depth with wins in both the third and
seventh Quads, and our Year 9 rowers indicated future potential with silver in the First Quad. The season tallied 15 wins, 45 second-place finishes, and 34 thirdplace finishes across all regattas (excluding the cancelled 5th event).
Beyond GPS, the boys have achieved outstanding results.
Following a tremendous row at the State Championships in January, Oliver Kent emerged as the U19 Single Scull Champion. In March, a group of 15 boys represented the School at the Australian Championships in Tasmania, securing three silver medals in the U19 Coxless Four, Schoolboy Coxed Four and U19 Coxed Quad. Additionally, five boys were selected for the Queensland pathways team: Phoenix O’Keefe, Marcus Forbes, Nick Kelso, Flynn McCormack and Angus Bale. Concurrently, three boys rowed at Australian Underage Trials: Oliver Kent, Henry Slatter, and Oliver Wright.
Captain of Boats Henry Slatter
and Vice-Captain Bennett Huf provided exceptional leadership throughout the season. Their ability to rise to challenges, inspire their teammates and their willingness to develop as leaders, exemplifies the character development at the heart of the School and the program.
As we farewell dedicated Tipperoo committee members, we recognise how their contributions have strengthened the foundation of BGS Rowing. Thank you to the Tipperoo committee, led by President Andrew Bale, for their tireless efforts. The support has enabled investment in new equipment, including two quad sculls named after two Paris Olympian Old Boys Logan Ullrich and Patrick Holt, and a double/pair named after former Rowing Director Joe Rodrigues.

Words from Henry Slatter
Rowing Captain
The 2025 BGS Rowing season was a huge success and certainly my favourite to date. Our Open and Year 11 crews cultivated an exceptional atmosphere, striking the perfect balance between achievement and enjoyment. The entire shed embraced a positive attitude shift, creating a culture markedly different and better than previous years.

Built on teamwork and tenacity, 2025 has been a memorable year for Grammar Rugby and the First XV. From training with the Reds Super Rugby Women to the Ballymore Cup and Casuarina camp, the boys showed resilience, commitment and eagerness to tackle the GPS competition. While results didn’t always reflect our effort, this season was an important step forward as we come to appreciate the meaning of “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. A big thank you to Mr Christie, our coaches and families for all their support.

Sailing
Brisbane Grammar School Sailing continues to excel, showcasing outstanding performance and dedication in recent competitions. The commitment and skill of BGS sailors has brought pride to the School and underscored the strength of the Sailing program.
In the Fleet Racing Championship, George Lee and crew member Reuben Martin demonstrated exceptional sailing prowess, securing an impressive second place in Queensland— matching their result from the previous year. Their success was complemented by strong performances from five other BGS sailors: Kody Goss, Nicholas Howarth, Alex Sampson, and Sam Rutter, all of whom finished in the top 20, highlighting the team’s skill and determination.
The South Queensland Schools Team Racing Championship further showcased BGS Sailing’s excellence. BGS 1, led by skilled skippers Kody Goss, George Lee, and Nicholas Howarth, earned
a commendable third place overall. Their nail-biting finishes against the eventual winners speak volumes about their talent and perseverance.
BGS 2, under the leadership of Vice Captain Sam Rutter and supported by Alex Sampson and Ethan Ai, recorded more wins than any other team during their time on the water. Unfortunately, due to the impact of Ex-Cyclone Alfred, their division results were cancelled as not enough races were completed. Despite this setback, the team’s resilience and positive attitude exemplified their strong character.
BGS 3, featuring promising young sailors Orlando Dunn-Mura, Levi Phun, and Alex Scott, embraced the opportunity to compete and gained valuable experience. Though a relatively new team, their performance signals great potential for future success.
The Sailing achievements of the past season reflect the dedication and growth of every competitor. Each sailor strived
to improve and made significant progress throughout the season. The program continues to cultivate a culture of excellence, teamwork, and sportsmanship, setting a high benchmark for future competitions. None of this would be possible without the support of all the coaches and the Spinnakers. Their support during the season and in purchasing a new boat has brought fresh excitement to the program.
The new boat looks fantastic.
A big thank you to Staff, Ms Riley and Ms Horne whose consistent care and commitment to the young sailors and boys of the program ensure a safe and thriving program. With new boats and a new leadership team, we look forward to sharing more successes in the seasons to come.
Mr Telfer Robertson and Mr Nicholas Purcell Sailing Co-Directors
Words from Nicholas Howarth
Sailing Captain
This season brought another year of unpredictable winds, unwavering teamwork, and shared resilience. The laughter, early mornings, and shared determination strengthened our sailing community. Thank you to everyone who made this season one of growth, camaraderie, and lasting memories.

Swimming
The 2025 Swimming season was one to remember, marked by record-breaking performances, fierce competition and an unwavering sense of team spirit across all year levels. Preparation was key, with a Senior Swimming Camp on the Gold Coast and January’s Junior Clinic laying a strong foundation for a standout year.
At the BGS Swimming Championships on 19 February at Chandler Aquatic Centre, over 150 competitors from Years 5 to 12 participated, resulting in nine new school records. Notable performances were those of Will Mayers (Year 7) and Max Cunningham (Year 11), who set two new records each. Other recordbreakers included Ethan Schablon (Year 5), Mason Gao (Year 9), Hayden Cahill (Year 11), Tom Garbanzo (Year 11) and Cashy Luo (Year 11).
The GPS Swimming Championships saw both the Junior and Senior teams shine.
The Juniors, displaying enthusiasm and determination, recorded numerous personal bests and thrilling victories, including wins by Ricky Zhao (11 Years 50m Backstroke Div 1), Lucas Ren (11 Years 50m Butterfly Div 1) and the 11 Years Medley Relay team (Ricky Zhao, Austin Li, Lucas Ren and Alexander Rotinen), who set a new Junior GPS record. Their collective efforts earned third place overall — the best Junior GPS result since 2016.
events, though Nudgee ultimately held on for the win. The final rankings: NC – 318.5 pts, BGS – 311 pts, BBC – 213 pts, marking the School’s 11th consecutive top two finish.
The Seniors kept up the momentum at the 102nd GPS Championships, led by Max Cunningham, who secured four victories, including a GPS record in the 16 Years 50m Backstroke (27.03s). Eugene Lee added three more wins to the tally. Heading into the relays, BGS was narrowly behind Nudgee, but strong performances from the 15 Years Medley Relay, 16 Years Medley and Freestyle Relays propelled us forward. Relay teams secured podium finishes in eight of 10
A heartfelt thank you to our amazing supporters who stood by the boys throughout the season, and to the passionate BGS crowd whose cheers from the stands inspired our swimmers every stroke of the way. We also acknowledge the contribution of our Year 12 swimmers, whose presence and leadership played a critical role in shaping the team’s journey this year.
A special thank you goes to our dedicated coaching team, led by Head Coach Mr Bobby Jovanovich and Middle School Swimming Coordinator Mr Daniel Sainsbury. Your unwavering commitment, innovation and tireless efforts have been instrumental to our success.
Mr Matt Logan Swimming Director

Words from Roc Palmos Woodhouse
Swimming Captain
GPS Swimming is the fastest, most electric schoolboy competition in the world. To win on this stage is not an easy task. Countless training sessions, early mornings and shaved legs – none of it is easy, but at Brisbane Grammar, swimmers do it for more than just personal glory, they do it for the crest on their caps and the teammates beside them. I’m proud to have led this incredible group and look forward to seeing the team reach even greater heights next season.

Tennis
BGS Tennis had a successful season across all age groups in 2025. Led by Captain, Angus Bale and Vice-Captain, Ryan Bashirzadeh, the BGS Tennis program was an environment of enjoyment and healthy competition. Though there were weekends interrupted due to wet weather, our boys continued to show great focus and participation each week at training in their endeavour to improve their skills
and showcase their sensational talent throughout the season.
BGS Tennis achieved an astounding 85% win rate across all teams competing during the season. This amounted to 22 undefeated teams – a record number of undefeated teams throughout the GPS Tennis competition.
The First IV, with Tennis Director and Head Coach Michael Fancutt, fought well all season and finished fifth overall with some exhilarating tennis and a few very narrow losses. The First IV was made up of Samarth Patel, Angus Bale, Angus Cook, Vittorio Golda and Kingston Struthers.
The winner of the Singles School Championship was Samarth Patel and the runner-up was Angus Cook.
The winners of the Doubles School Championship were Angus Bale and Angus Cook.
Thank you to all the volunteers who have contributed enormously to the support and success of the
BGS Tennis program. We would like to thank Margie Bale as President of the Wimbledon Club for her years of dedication to the progress of our Support Group. We would also like to thank Jen Beikoff and all the Year 12 parents who have contributed to BGS Tennis throughout their time at the School. Lastly, thank you to Cathy Findlay, Carlos Arias, Michele Golda and Rhea Moore for their ongoing contributions to the Wimbledon Club.

Track and Field
Our Junior team competed strongly at the GPS Track and Field Carnival, showing great spirit and teamwork to finish a commendable 4th overall.
Our Senior team battled hard across all GPS events, highlighted by impressive performances in both the 4x400m and 4x100m relays, with our 14 Years, 16 Years, and Open teams placing. Our hurdlers also performed strongly throughout the championships.
Notable individual achievements included:
• Seth Kennedy, setting a new GPS 200m record of 20.64 seconds, a phenomenal effort
• Anson Qui Tang, leaping 14.14m in the triple jump, the first BGS athlete to go over 14 metres in more than 30 years
• Doug Phillips, 1st in the 15 Years 100m hurdles
Overall, our results were solid across the program. The boys displayed commitment and enthusiasm reflecting the spirit of BGS.
Many teaching staff are involved in the program and are the foundation of our team culture. Thanks to all those involved as coaches or managers.
Mr Matt Scott Athletics Director

Volleyball
The 2025 season stands as a defining chapter in the history of BGS Volleyball, marked by community spirit, competitive success and the largest number of participants since entering the GPS competition. With over 400 expressions of interest for trials, BGS fielded 30 teams across Years 5 to 12, supported by a dedicated team of teaching staff, Old Boys and coaches.
Our program achieved outstanding results. The Junior teams (Years 5-8) won just shy of 70% of matches (47 of 69 ), while the Senior teams (Years 9-12) achieved a remarkable 78% success rate (60 wins from 77 ). Impressively, 24 of our 28 GPS teams had a podium finish, with seven of those teams coming in first place. Overall, BGS won 74% of fixtures played. Unfortunately, due to Cyclone Alfred, our fixture against Nudgee College was abandoned.
Beyond the numbers, 2025 witnessed the strengthening of the BGS Volleyball Old Boy Match
culture. The annual Kerridge Cup drew over 150 attendees, celebrating the enduring connection between past and present players. The newly established locker room provided a physical and symbolic home for the program, reinforcing our emphasis on humility, gratitude, responsibility and a team-first mentality.
Our involvement in the Australian Volleyball Schools Cup reached new heights, with 93 participants across 11 teams participating during the 2025 pre-season. Community engagement also flourished, with over 500 action photographs shared through Pixevety and more than 450 attendees at the End of Season Celebration.
Such achievements are the result of the outstanding dedication of our broader community. I extend my sincere thanks to Ms Angel Scanlon (Middle School Lead Coach) and Mr Matt Young (Head Coach) for their exceptional leadership and to the Athletic Performance team for their vital support in the physical
preparation of our players. Special acknowledgment is owing to the Volleyblues Parent Support Group, who continue to provide unwavering support to the program and whose tireless efforts enabled us to surpass our fundraising goals for the ‘One Court at a Time’ project, bringing our vision of upgrading our posts, pads, nets and stands closer to reality.
Finally, I commend our 2025 student leaders, Johnny James (Captain of Volleyball) who will continue his volleyball journey at college, in the USA in 2026, and Harvey Gatehouse (Vice Captain of Volleyball), for their exemplary service and stewardship of the program.
The future of BGS Volleyball is exceptionally bright, built upon the foundations of hard work, shared purpose and strong community spirit.
Mr Rhys Cox Volleyball Director
