CELEBRATING Innovation
P&F TWILIGHT FAMILY PICNIC ON FRIDAY, 26 FEBRUARY 2016, OVER 630 PARENTS AND STUDENTS GATHERED FOR THE FIRST P&F TWILIGHT FAMILY PICNIC. There could have been no better way to kick off Canberra Girls Grammar School’s 90th Anniversary celebrations. It was such a wonderfully warm and happy atmosphere with families sharing cheese boards and picnic rugs amongst the fairy lights while children played ‘tip and run’ or danced along to rock and pop classics performed by Hitparade. Our catering team prepared over 100 hampers for the event, each presented in a
customised box featuring the distinguished ‘CGGS 90th Anniversary’ logo.

We had boarders’ families, veteran and brand new families all celebrating together under the one banner of the Canberra Girls Grammar School community. The feedback has been fantastic with calls to “do it all again next year!”

“The Twilight Picnic was a good way for me, as a new student, to see CGGS’s wider community come together in a casual setting. Meeting new kids and playing soccer on the oval was the highlight of my night.” Zara Dobson-Harper, Year 9 5
