It is my pleasure to share with you the 2022 Impact Report.
The following pages will provide you with an overview of the generosity of the Brisbane Grammar School community.
I am always humbled by the giving spirit which defines the BGS community. This propensity to give is evident in the initiatives, programs and organisations supported by our students, staff, parents, Old Boys and volunteers. That altruism promotes social connectedness and binds people together.
This year resulted in generous support for the Bursary Fund, which enables means-tested places for students and the STEAM Precinct, which is set to be completed in late 2023.
The second BGS Giving Day, held on 25 August 2022, was a resounding success. An unprecedented $1.5 million was raised by 306 donors in support of ongoing endeavours at the School. I would like to extend special
thanks to Dave and Sophia Johnson who committed $250,000 to the STEAM Precinct, they like many within this community recognise the value of providing best-in-class facilities for our teachers and students to explore new opportunities in education. Read their story on page 10.
As we adopt modern philanthropic practices and honour those who have given to the STEAM Precinct by naming spaces in the building, we look back at those who generously gave to the Lilley Centre during our last capital fundraising campaign, in 2010. Join us in fond remembrance of Sir John Pidgeon on page 18.
As always, this year’s report acknowledges our alumni’s impact outside the school community. It is a delight to see Old Boys and current students involved in common causes.
Page 14 highlights the School’s involvement in Guide Dogs Queensland. The charity has
benefited from the support of Old Boy Richard Anderson ‘63 for more than four decades and is a favourite with students in the Public Purpose Program, many of whom serve as guide dog ambassadors.
The School’s contribution is spread across many causes and industries. Old Boy John Macdonald ‘99 is preserving Brisbane’s architectural history and challenging the ways people think about workspaces in the process. Learn more on page 12.
Every year, BGS welcomes new families. Watching how quickly they become an integral part of the BGS fabric is a joy. After their youngest son joined BGS last year, Hanh Luu and Anthony Yap are an excellent example of newcomers embracing the community and giving spirit of the School. Meet their family on page 8.
I thank you for your continuing support of BGS students and the entire BGS community.
Since joining the Board of Trustees of the Brisbane Grammar School in 2020 and becoming the Chair of the Community Relations Committee, I have seen the ongoing importance of volunteer support, in addition to philanthropic support, at the School. It has been pleasing to see the continuing commitment from students, parents, staff, and Old Boys to giving back to the BGS community.
BGS has a number of independent associations run by volunteers who tirelessly support the School and who make a significant contribution to the educational and wellbeing outcomes of our boys, both during their time at the School and for the rest of their lives.
The BGS Parents and Friends’ Association, through the BGS P&F Auxiliary, runs the commercial operations of the Tuckshop and the Grammar Shop. Both are staffed
by hundreds of volunteers who donate their time to serve our boys and the BGS community.
In a time when most schools outsource the running of their cafeterias and clothing stores to external commercial parties, it is great to see the tradition continues at BGS, where these operations continue to be volunteer led, adding significantly to the strong community of the School.
The P&F Auxiliary also makes a significant financial contribution to the School with the surpluses from these well run operations being used to support capital projects, such as the Lilley Centre and the STEAM Precinct, as well as to support students on a needs basis by donating to the Bursary Fund. The P&F Auxiliary is run by a committee made up of executive and year level representatives, of whom all are volunteers.
The BGS Parents and Friends’ (P&F)
Association is comprised of a number of groups that support educational, cultural and sporting cocurricular activities at BGS. The P&F has a committee comprised of presidents from these support groups and an executive committee, of which all members are volunteers who help support the boys in their cocurricular interests.
The Old Boys’ Association also has a committee run by Old Boy volunteers. The group’s purpose is to engage, connect and help students once they leave the School. They organise events for young and notso-young Old Boys, and provide mentoring, networking, reunions and casual catchups as part of the School’s promise to provide connectivity for students during their time at BGS and beyond.
All three associations have the single purpose of providing the best possible experience to students and parents during
their time at BGS and throughout their life, long after they pass through the school gates for the final time. They also support the School in achieving the best educational outcomes for the boys.
This year, in particular, I am happy to report that stronger bonds and collaboration between these associations have led to more inclusive community events, where all feel welcome.
Both philanthropy and volunteering make a big impact on students, staff
and the broader BGS community. The boys learn valuable lessons about the importance of giving back and making a positive impact in their community when they see various parent volunteers around the School and can utilise facilities that have been made possible by generous philanthropic contributions.
It is also heartening to see this spirit of philanthropy – which our community has long been known for – being carried forward by the latest generation of BGS men through their
work undertaken through various Public Purpose initiatives, which support programs in the broader community. Their commitment to making a positive contribution, and their creativity and grit in getting the job done is remarkable.
In conclusion, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our donors and our volunteers who equally contribute to the betterment of our School. I look forward to your continuing support of our boys and our community.
BGS parents Hanh Luu and Anthony Yap were just 23 years old when they opened their first pharmacy together. The couple opened Good Price Pharmacy, in 2001. Today, they own more than 50 stores across six states and manage more than 800 employees.
Making extraordinary differences to people’s healthcare and giving back to the community is at the heart of why they started their business.
“We hope to promote a sense of community and social responsibility, which can inspire others to support their own communities,” they said.
“We have the pleasure of donating to fantastic organisations in areas, such as medicine, domestic violence, sports, education and our local community.
“Philanthropy is vital as these charities often struggle to secure funding and resources, which can limit their ability to make a positive impact.”
Brisbane Grammar School’s community spirit and commitment to creating a positive change was a drawcard when choosing a school for their son Zachary Yap, who joined the Year 7 cohort last year.
Part of a new generation of BGS families, they embody the School’s core values of Learning, Leadership, Respect, Endeavour and Community.
“Contribution to education can provide valuable resources that align with the BGS vision of nurturing global citizens who contribute to their communities.
“This sets the standard for our children and their friends to make a positive impact in the future.”
The family has made a positive impact at BGS, having generously donated to the STEAM Precinct. The $70 million dollar project will usher
in a new era of education, combining the disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics.
The couple is impressed by the amount of support other parents provide to the School.
“Through Zachary’s participation in sports, bands, choirs, musicals, and debating, we have met an amazing cohort of parents who generously devote their time and resources in effort to make each activity the best it can be.”
Year 8 student Zachary has signed up as a Youth Ambassador for Guide Dogs Australia, proving he is eager to help good causes too.
Inspiring their two sons to make a difference isn’t something the couple takes lightly.
“As parents, we have tried to educate them on the reality that many people are less fortunate and may require support to overcome their challenges,” they said.
“Zachary has accompanied us on various occasions where we have volunteered or donated to those in need, such as the homeless and children in hospitals.”
A promise to care is not your typical mantra connected to a construction company, but BGS parents Dave and Sophia Johnson make compassion their mission in both business and life.
“We believe the true meaning of life is giving to others.”
In 2015, the couple established Eastern States Engineering, which is in the business of demountable steel structures. The company is rapidly growing, with operations in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
The company’s mission statement ‘we promise to care’ has not been chosen at random; the acronym CARE (Connection, Accountability, Respect and Excellence) truly represents what the Johnsons stand for.
As a way of celebrating their professional wins, they support a range of charitable organisations.
“We choose worthy causes as they cross our path,” they said.
“A worthy cause, to us, is our church, school and anything that helps disadvantaged people.”
Their son Daylin Johnson is in Year 9 at Brisbane Grammar School and is a rising star of the Fencing Program. Investing in his and other students’ future is a cause close to their heart.
At Giving Day 2022, the family donated to name a collaboration pod in one of the STEAM towers. Daylin chose the flooring design of the biology pod, which represents DNA sequencing. The Precinct is currently taking shape at the western end of the School, but as Headmaster Anthony Micallef says, “there is more to STEAM than just the remodelling of the campus.”
The $70 million project will be transformational in how education
is delivered at BGS, through the emergence of digital technology, artificial intelligence and DNA mapping, just to name a few.
The generosity and philanthropic culture at the School impressed the Johnsons when they first joined the BGS community.
“You only get out of life what you put into it…become involved as much as your time allows.”
“We were inspired, especially by the Old Boys who carry on the tradition of giving back to the School for future generations.”
Leaving behind a legacy of paying it forward speaks to the Johnsons.
“One day your grandchildren may attend the same school, and they will benefit directly from your involvement in philanthropy.”
We believe the true meaning of life is giving to others, whether it is time, knowledge, money or kindness.
Growing up, Brisbane Grammar
School Old Boy John Macdonald ‘99 learned the importance of a close-knit community and family ties by osmosis — his family established a clothing alteration business in Queen Street, in 1934.
Macdonald worked for his father, BGS Old Boy George Macdonald ‘66, for many years, and strong family values have followed him into adulthood and into opening businesses of his own.
After gaining experience in London, Barcelona and Paris for many years, Macdonald returned to Brisbane with creative ambitions of his own and opened Lightspace, a boutique event venue and coworking warehouse.
Many developers and entrepreneurs would have viewed an old smash repair garage, hidden in the corner of the Fortitude Valley near train tracks, as a rundown eyesore. When the building became available in the mid-2000s, however, Macdonald saw an opportunity to bring something new to Brisbane while preserving historical charm.
Seated in the cocktail area of Lightspace, surrounded by a small
jungle of potted plants, Macdonald explained: “Restoring and bringing new life to character-rich buildings is fundamental — it is an important part of Brisbane’s story that deserves to be appreciated.”
Established in 2009 and the first of its kind in Brisbane, Lightspace is an architecturally transformed space available to hire for weddings and events, as well as coworking and private office space.
“There wasn’t really anything like this in Brisbane when we first started — we took a leap and thankfully it worked.
“Everyone who has hosted events with us has made their own special mark on the space.”
Following the success of Lightspace, Macdonald opened Prospect Studios in 2015, which is another plant-rich, converted 1960s warehouse.
The two coworking spaces are now home to creatives, designers and small business owners.
In 2018, Macdonald and his partner in life and business, Danielle White, revived another heritage-listed building in The Valley, which turned 100 this
year. Tucked behind James Street, Loyal Hope of the Valley is the smaller sister wedding and events venue.
This year, the couple and their team will host 300 events of which 100 will be weddings. They expect about 25,000 people to pass through their doors.
Staying true to his roots of valuing tight-knit relationships in business, John credits his success to his team and Danielle, who was named as one of Brisbane’s leading wedding and events planners.
Keen to keep things local, the couple and their two sons — who Macdonald hopes will go to BGS in a few years — live in a heritage-listed cottage, just a short stroll from both Lightspace and Prospect Studios.
“When we started 14 years ago, there was nothing here — no neighbours, only warehouses.”
Now, the couple’s home and businesses are surrounded by a thriving hub of creative activity — very much their natural habitat.
There wasn’t really anything like this in Brisbane when we first started – we took a leap and thankfully it worked.
BGS Old Boy Richard Anderson OAM ‘63 has dedicated more than four decades to changing the lives of blind and visually impaired people through the help of guide dogs.
When Anderson joined the Board of Guide Dogs Queensland in 1980 and began serving as President in 1990, he never expected his involvement with the charity to be a lifelong passion.
Anderson, who is a former member of the Board of Trustees of Brisbane Grammar School, was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for services to Guide Dogs for the Blind Association of Queensland and the Queensland Art Gallery Foundation, in 1997.
“I don’t think it ever occurred to me that I was entering into a commitment that would last 40 years,” Anderson said.
Once
you stumble into something you find enjoyment in, there is no reason to stop.
“Then again, I don’t think that thought would have stopped me.
“Once you stumble into something you find enjoyment in, there is no reason to stop.”
His ambition to provide blind and visually impaired people with more freedom and independence has helped the organisation expand, despite the rising costs of living, increasing demands and dwindling resources associated with running a charity.
Demand is high, Anderson said, with around 300,000 Australians living with vision impairment of which 90,000 are classified as legally blind.
Guide dogs cost $50,000 to raise and two years to train. The charity is run by volunteers, and 85 per cent of its funding comes from donations.
“The working life of a guide dog is between eight and 10 years, so some people have to be matched with up to six replacement dogs throughout their lifetime.”
When Anderson first worked at the charity, fundraising was done at an individual state level; however, the service provider itself, Guide Dogs Australia, was based in Melbourne.
“It was a flawed system because it meant costs were higher than they needed to be, and services were not readily available in states outside Victoria.”
Anderson and his team pushed for Queensland to become the first state to separate from the national organisation in a bid to make the service more accessible to people outside of Victoria. In the early 1990s, Guide Dogs Queensland purchased land to build its own breeding and training centre at Bald Hills. At the time, around 50 dogs per year trained at the facility – this has jumped to some 150 dogs per year.
Anderson pointed out many other members of the BGS community provide crucial support to Guide Dogs Queensland. Past parents Guy and Wendy Mauger have been strong supporters for many years. They volunteer as puppy walkers, which is an instrumental phase in guide dog training.
“Guide dogs has been one of the boys’ favourite causes,” said Crystal Thompson, the Director of the Public Purpose Program.
Last year, through bake sales, spider stalls and an excursion to the training centre at Bald Hills, Brisbane Grammar School students raised more than $16,000 to train a puppy who they named Hope.
Much to their delight, Hope paid a visit to the School as part of the students’ continued campaign to pay for her education.
The students hosted around 90 guests for a Dining in the Dark event –one of the charity’s biggest fundraisers –where guests are challenged to eat their meals while blindfolded to simulate the experience of low vision.
Anderson, who has a son who attended BGS and two daughters, is delighted his old alma mater continues to be involved in the cause closest to his heart.
“It is important for young people to get involved,” he said.
“My three children were all involved as volunteers when they were still in school and have continued their association in one way or another.
“I’m hoping organisations like ours can maintain the charitable ethos.
“These services can truly be life changing.”
I’m hoping organisations like ours can maintain the charitable ethos, these services can truly be life changing.
The life of Brisbane building and property developer Sir John Pidgeon is nothing short of a masterclass on leaving a mark.
Sir John and his sister Valmai Pidgeon AM built F.A. Pidgeon and Son into the biggest construction company in Queensland, during the 1980s. The family business was founded by their parents in 1927 and left an unmistakable imprint on Brisbane’s landscape.
Sir John passed away, aged 89, in 2016.
His legacy, however, is not limited to his construction achievements. His philanthropic pursuits have had a significant impact on his chosen beneficiaries, including Brisbane Grammar School, where six of his 14 grandchildren attended (those six being from the Morton and Wikman families).
Sir John contributed $1 million to the construction of the Lilley Centre — a gift with lasting impacts for many generations of BGS students.
Throughout his life, Sir John
supported a range of charitable organisations in the arts, sports, education and much more.
He was awarded Life Membership of Surf Life Saving Australia and earned his Bronze Medallion, in 1943. He served as a chairman of the Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal and was also a major contributor to the Queensland Cancer Fund. He also served on many industry bodies and corporate boards.
Sir John was known for his selflessness.
“Many times, I’ve seen ego and greed contribute to the downfall of people and other companies,” Sir John told QUT professor Ray Weekes, in 2009.
“Ego and greed always seem to go together.”
Sir John joined the family business in 1945, starting as a carpentry apprentice after a short stint in the Australian Imperial Force. By the early 1950s, his father passed the reins of the already successful business over to his son.
The company soared under Sir John’s leadership. By the 1990s, an astonishing 30 per cent of Brisbane’s CBD had been built by his company, including iconic landmarks such Waterfront Place, Eagle Street Pier and the Cathedral Square Office precinct.
He was commended for his ability to develop new buildings that aesthetically enriched the city, by adding or preserving green spaces and including revolutionary design features. He held a deep affection for existing architectural landmarks, and he donated generously
to the completion of the façade of St. John’s Cathedral and to the restoration of Brisbane City Hall.
In 1989, Sir John received a knighthood in acknowledgement of his “significant contribution to the construction industry and to the community”. With knighthoods abolished shortly thereafter, he is often referred to as the “Last Knight”. Sir John was one of the inaugural inductees into the Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame.
He always acknowledged his sister Valmai Pidgeon AM, who is now 98, as being a major part of the success of the family business. Valmai is also
a significant contributor to education as evidenced by The Valmai Pidgeon Performing Arts Complex, at Brisbane’s Somerville House.
Sir John was also known as a practical person with an extraordinary ability to ignore outside distractions and “a person who made everything seem so simple”.
In his acceptance speech when he was inducted into the Property Council Hall of Fame, Sir John said: “Many people have asked me to nominate my favourite project…I have never been able to single out any one in particular.
“My response has always been: the next one.”
The second Brisbane Grammar School Giving Day exceeded expectations when 306 donors joined forces to raise an astounding $1.5 million.
The donations support the Bursary Fund and the construction of the STEAM Precinct.
We extend a heartfelt thanks to Sophia and Dave Johnson, members of the BGS parent community, for their generous donation of $250,000 to the STEAM Precinct. A collaboration hub in one of the STEAM Precinct towers will be named in their honour.
A special thanks goes to Allan and Lyn Davies who donated $150,000 to bursaries to support Indigenous
students through a collaboration with the Clontarf Foundation.
We were moved by the overwhelming support for the STEAM Precinct. The P&F Auxiliary donated $100,000 and will name the STEAM Cafeteria. Eric and Sarina Lau gave $50,000, as did Old Boy Wren Bligh, who will name one of the senior multidisciplinary classrooms. $25,000 was donated by Anthony Yap and Hanh Luu, Chris Tan and Yin Vun, Boon Kua and Karen Chau, and Norman Ma and Ida Lo to name junior multidisciplinary classrooms.
Donations of $15,000 to name one of the atrium steps proved popular. The first eight namesakes to the atrium steps
were Mark and Lynda Dunglison, Geoff and Cathy Findlay, Kieran and Rachael Dauber, John and Donna Wacker, James and Geraldine Chin-Moody, Richard Wong and Huong Phan, John Lee and Judy Ku, and Reza and Jacqueline Pribadi.
BGS received an anonymous donation of $100,000 to support the STEAM Precinct and a further $60,000 to go towards our needs-based Bursary Fund.
The Board of Trustees of Brisbane Grammar School generously matched donations to the Bursary Fund to the amount of $220,000 and to the amount of $350,000 for the STEAM Precinct.
Thank you to all donors on Giving Day. In total, the Bursary Fund increased by approximately $0.5 million and the Building Fund (to be spent on the STEAM Precinct) increased by $1 million.
$1.5M
We recognise donors who have supported the School throughout their lifetime. We celebrate individuals who have contributed to the history of Brisbane Grammar School.

(25 September 2018) and the BGS Bursary Fund Investment Strategy (6 December 2018) prescribe the governance obligations of the Finance Committee for funds held and invested in the School’s DGR Funds.
The objective of the BGS Bursary Fund is to generate sufficient earnings from its corpus base to fully fund needs-based bursaries, without eroding said corpus, or requiring financial subsidy from the operating cash flow of the School.
At 31 December 2022, the combined funds of the School’s DGR Funds were invested in the Queensland Investment Corporation (‘QIC’) Long Term Diversified Fund, ANZ Bank (for immediate-needs liquidity) and shares as follows:
Alternative assets comprises direct real estate, direct infrastructure, private debt, private equity, insurance-linked securities and liquid managed funds.
QIC Long Term Diversified Fund (‘QIC Fund’) performance is summarised as follows:
• Positive average earnings of 2.59% for the three years ended 31 December 2022.
• Positive average earnings of 4.2% for the five years ended 31 December 2022
• Positive average earnings of 6.54% for the 10 years ended 31 December 2022.
The QIC Fund seeks to achieve an investment return of the Bloomberg AusBond Bank Bill Index + 3% p.a after expenses but before QIC management fees and tax over rolling five-year periods. The QIC Fund is classified as a medium product risk, reflecting an expectation that the distribution of possible annual returns has a standard deviation of between 5-10%.
At 31 December 2022, the following investments in donated shares were held by the DGR Funds:
DGR Funds were applied as follows throughout the year ended 31 December 2022:
