Headmaster’s Speech Day Address

13 November

Good afternoon, distinguished guest Air

Marshal Stephen Chappell (DSC, CSC, OAM and Brisbane Grammar School Old Boy, ’92).

I also acknowledge your parents, Judith and Greg Chappell, your wife Melissa, and your son Sam - a current senior and soon to be BGS Old Boy. Welcome Chair of the Board of Trustees, Mr Warren Traves, members of the Board of Trustees, invited guests, members of staff, parents and students. It is my pleasure to present the 156th Annual Report of the Brisbane Grammar School.

Brisbane Grammar School is dedicated to fostering a culture of excellence by continuously enhancing our programs,

investing in professional development for our staff, and implementing innovative teaching and coaching methods. Our goal is to equip our students with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive now and into the future.

I have now been at Brisbane Grammar School for 31 years—11 as Headmaster—and I am constantly amazed by the talented and caring people who work with and for the boys in the Light Dark Blue. A Brisbane Grammar School education is driven by our world-class faculty. Our teachers, coaches and conductors are not just subject matter experts; they are passionate pedagogues who inspire our students. Through

innovative teaching and coaching methods, Socratic discussions, and a personalised approach, our educators unlock the full potential of each boy. Similarly, I acknowledge our Business and Services staff who provide the bedrock upon which our academic, wellbeing and cocurricular programs operate. We could not deliver a premium educational experience for our students without the devotion of the BGS staff to the School’s vision and mission.

To quote a colleague, Professor Erica McWilliam, “we live in times in which unlearning has become as important as learning.” For our students (and staff) who live in this Conceptual Age, success will depend heavily on our ability to think critically, solve complex problems, and generate novel ideas. The modern economy rewards creativity, innovation and abstract reasoning over repetition. The Conceptual Age has also demanded a shift in how we educate. Rote memorisation is now inadequate and today we are delivering curricula through

contemporary practices. The art and science of teaching is developing reasoning, asking probing questions, framing problems from multiple perspectives, fostering imagination, design thinking, and the confidence to explore unconventional solutions.

To create an optimal learning environment, the School continues to invest in the development and enhancement of its infrastructure, both physical and digital. This includes upgrading classrooms, technology resources, and recreational spaces to meet the evolving needs of our students and staff.

This year we opened the longanticipated STEAM Precinct. This integrated multidisciplinary facility is not simply “a new science building”, but rather the manifestation of a whole of school approach to education. This project represents 10

years of educational research, and at its core are Professor McWilliam’s message about unlearning and Daniel Pink’s message about relearning. With the assistance of the design team from Wilson Architects we have pushed the boundaries to create highly flexible classrooms wrapped around a six-storey-high ‘incubator’ space with suspended group study pods that give the space its character and reinforce the intended creative thinking. Our vision was to create a building that enabled higher order teaching and learning, and that offered the connection between the teacher-led environments and student-directed spaces.

‘STEAM’ is emblematic of the broad Brisbane Grammar School educational ‘brand’, distinguishing us from the populist investment in ‘STEM’ facilities. The STEAM Precinct

“The modern economy rewards creativity, innovation and abstract reasoning over repetition.”

has exceeded expectations and has provided our school with a social hub that is stimulating, performative and experimental. The interior has become a theatre of demonstrable learning and a place of gathering for our community.

As a school we uphold learning and recognise our responsibility to support each boy’s social and emotional wellbeing. We want our students to become men of character who meaningfully contribute to their families, communities and professions.

One of our primary tasks is to promote healthy living and positive relationships and it was for this reason that BGS contracted Dr Phil Cummins from a School for tomorrow and their research institute, The Centre for

Innovation, Research, Creativity and Leadership in Education, to conduct an audit of student culture at Brisbane Grammar School.

BGS has, over the past decade, taken an approach which has seen us evaluate our existing approaches, build knowledge, and map culture through the implementation of progressive wellbeing programs such as Protect and Connect, which promotes respectful relationships and enables student agency and leadership.

Dr Cummins’ audit involved review of policies and processes that identify the extent to which preferred behaviours and associated dispositions elevate student safety, respect and leadership. This

qualitative ethnographic investigation employed a direct participant observer methodology, through hundreds of conversations and hundreds of hours of observation at over 50 events in the daily life of the School.

In May, Dr Cummins presented his report to the Board of Trustees, Senior Leadership Team and teaching staff. In his findings he posited that, “No school is perfect, but it is rare to find a school either nationally or internationally as deliberate in its mission, and as precise in its execution through rigorous operationalisation and habituation of culture through known and celebrated behaviours than Brisbane Grammar School…

There is a clear sense that the culture at Grammar is to a very great extent where the School wants it to be, and that an overwhelming majority of the boys are being and becoming young men in keeping with both the School’s educational intent and their own sense of what matters most to them. The School’s culture and the educational high performance on which it is based have been built patiently and successfully shaped over many, many years…”

This safe, challenging and nurturing environment is the backdrop to the learning environment in which our students continue to excel. BGS is the highest performing boys’ school in Queensland and one of the leading schools in this country, and the Class of 2023 continued that tradition of excellence. While these results are now 12 months old, they do demonstrate that BGS has and will always push for the best academic outcomes for our students. We eagerly await this year’s ATAR results.

An example of our commitment to student progression is the School’s investment in building a bespoke digital platform called BGS Learn, using an artificial intelligence (AI) tutor that analyses data and resources, and provides high quality suggestions to students about their learning progression. We know that

AI assisted learning programs will facilitate some learning and that our tailor-made platform will analyse responses then provide targeted resources. BGS Learn aggregates data across the whole cohort, allowing us to make relative judgements about performance on specific questions or descriptors, therefore providing the focal point for conversations between students and their teachers. We have used this model extensively with the Year 12 cohort and will scale the program to include Year 11 in 2025, with other year groups catered to thereafter.

This year our Sports program and student competitors returned victories in GPS Swimming, Debating, Gymnastics and Fencing, attaining podium finishes in Basketball, Chess, Rowing, Sailing and Tennis.

Moving forward, our student athletes will benefit from the installation of a purpose-built sports science laboratory and a larger, remodelled gymnasium. These new facilities will enable students to track performance and research athletic development, and allow coaches to facilitate evidence-based training, injury prevention and rehabilitation strategies, all of which will lead to further advances in our sports programs in the years to come.

Our Music program continues to produce stellar performances. The multitude of Music events throughout the year highlight the importance of it within our School. Grammar in Concert was the showcase event, and our talented students were a splendid testament to the exceptional teaching and mentorship of BGS Music staff. Similarly, the Music tour to Spain and Portugal was more than a series of performances - it was a celebration of our community coming together to share stories, music, and the collective pride of student accomplishments.

Equally impressive were this year’s dramatic productions. The adaptation of Romeo and Juliet not only revived the joining of the Montagues and Capulets, but also of the Brisbane

Grammar School and Brisbane Girls Grammar School drama departments. The acting was superb, the staging and choreography ingenious, and the lighting exquisite.

Furthermore, Visual Arts continues to grow in popularity and importance. The School’s Art and Design programs are crucial for student development due to their wide-ranging benefits across cognitive, emotional and social domains. These programs enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills by encouraging students to analyse, interpret and create. Integrating the arts into other subjects has made learning more engaging and better prepares students for future employment.

Outdoor Education, Public Purpose and Boarding continue to bring students great joy and balance. These programs are designed to provide experiential learning opportunities outside the traditional classroom, fostering personal development, teamwork and leadership.

Our Outdoor Education program is a conservation success story. The site known as Pepperina Hill, on the shores of Lake Moogerah was purchased by the School in 1972. Originally native bushland, it was cleared for farming, and when BGS arrived there were just six trees onsite. Over the decades, BGS has restored the landscape, and in the last 10 years more than 1,500 native trees have been planted by Year 10 students as part of the reforestation program, including endangered Burner Tuckeroos.

Year 9 and the Moogerah Committee—part of the P&F Association—engage in an annual weed clearing program to stop the spread of invasive species. In consultation with ecologists, cultural

burning advisors, and the Traditional Owners, our Outdoor Education educators have assembled a comprehensive conservation strategy, and plans are underway to develop a koala habitat and a sanctuary for birds and sugar gliders, to further futureproof natural habitats.

Likewise, the School’s deep commitment to Public Purpose and community engagement is designed to encourage the boys to use their talents and resources to make a positive difference in the world. The engagement of staff and students and parents has seen this program grow extensively; from volunteering at local charities to spearheading environmental conservation projects, these experiences help students understand the value of altruism, empathy and civic responsibility, therefore developing a lifelong dedication to making the world a better place.

Within the Boarding program, 100 boys proudly call themselves BGS boarders. This program provides an inclusive environment for students to develop independence, resilience and social skills. Griffith and Harlin houses offer a structured setting, promoting academic focus, personal growth and community. The Boarding program is so popular that the School is looking at expanding its offerings in years to come.

Late in September, the School received notification from the Education Minister that Her Excellency the Governor—acting on the advice of the Executive Council and under the Grammar Schools Act 2016—had approved the appointment of four Ministerial and three Elected Members to the Board of Trustees of the Brisbane Grammar School for a four-

year term from 11 September 2024, up to and including 10 September 2028.

The reconstituted Board of Trustees is as follows.

Ministerial Members: Ms Claire Blake, Dr Julie Cichero, Professor Doune Macdonald and Mr Warren Traves, who is also the new Chair.

Elected Members: Mr Stephen Bizzell (Deputy Chair), Mr Scott McLeod KC and Mr Stephen Moore AM.

Congratulations to the Trustees who will govern the School through the next four years.

On behalf of the School, I wish to recognise the efforts of the former Trustees, Ms Megan Corfield, Dr Angie Ryan, and former Chair Mr John Humphrey. The previous Board

under Mr Humphrey’s leadership was marked by the delivery of the successful navigation through the pandemic, commissioning the STEAM Precinct, driving essential investments in the School’s digital infrastructure, cyber security and learning analytics, refinement in staff and student culture, and a commitment to modernising processes and practices that enhance business efficiency and adaptability.

To members of the Senior Leadership Team, I thank you for your stewardship of the School. Your care and consideration for staff and students is unquestionable and I am indebted to each of you for your professionalism and friendship.

Community engagement is

cardinal to our School’s success.

BGS actively collaborates with local businesses, educational organisations, Old Boys and community members to enrich our learning experiences and bolster school programs. I take this opportunity to extend the School’s gratitude to the Parents and Friends Association and its many support groups, the Parents and Friends Auxiliary and the Old Boys’ Association. I particularly thank Justin Beirne, Rachel Dauber and Cameron Feltham for leading these critical community groups and partnering with the School to strengthen bonds and deliver premium educational programs.

Lastly, I express thanks to all BGS students and offer the School’s

best wishes to the graduating Class of 2024 - a fabulous cohort. Your commitment, resilience, and leadership have left an indelible mark on our community. Student leaders Sam Wallwork, Dominic Forrest, Charlie Lutton, Ben Treacy and Tom Siganto have been splendid in your direction of the student body. I offer my congratulations to this fantastic group of young men.

As the seniors prepare to embark on new adventures, we salute your accomplishments and the legacy you leave behind. May your futures be imbued with achievement and joy.

Bernadette Van Den Hout

Bernadette has been a long serving member of our BGS Library team, arriving in 2008 from the State Library of Queensland just in time to begin the transition process from the old Centenary Library to the new Lilley Centre Library. During her 16 years at Brisbane Grammar as a Library Technician, she has been a valued, reliable and supportive colleague, as well as a friend to many staff members and students.

As a willing team player, Bernadette was always happy to take on whatever was asked of her. She has a very strong work ethic and has always worked tirelessly behind the scenes, devoting countless extra hours to her role and ensuring access to quality resources. She has excellent attention to detail and has an interest in how things work and has enjoyed delving into all aspects of the Library Management System.

Casey Walker

As Casey Walker concludes his remarkable 10year journey at Brisbane Grammar School, the entire community would like to acknowledge his immense contribution. Over the past decade, Casey has been a dedicated and passionate Middle School Form Tutor and teacher in both the Science and Mathematics programs across the Middle and Senior School. His approachable demeanour and student-centred teaching approach have set him apart, always prioritising the needs and growth of his students.

In addition to his work in the classroom, Casey has been deeply involved in the cocurricular life of the school, most notably through his leadership of the Duke of Edinburgh and Bridge Award programs. His commitment to these initiatives highlights his dedication to the holistic development of students, nurturing not just their academic success but

However, Bernadette’s greatest passion has always been books: locating books, purchasing books, cataloguing books, processing books, repairing books, reading books, sharing books, promoting books, helping students and staff find books. Bernadette has connected thousands of students and staff with the right books and reading advice, and for this we will always be grateful. We wish her many more happy hours of reading in her retirement!

their character and resilience.

Brisbane Grammar School will certainly feel the absence of Casey’s presence, but his legacy of dedication, hard work, and genuine care for his students will remain a part of the School’s culture. His calm and collaborative approach has contributed significantly to the development of teaching programs, which has strengthened the School’s academic offerings. As Casey embarks on the next chapter of his teaching career, we wish him all the very best and are confident that his future colleagues and students will be just as fortunate to work with and learn from him.

Dr Dale Owens

As Dr. Dale Owens embarks on a new chapter in her life, we celebrate her remarkable contributions to Brisbane Grammar School. For over 12 years, she has inspired countless students with her passion for biology, making complex concepts engaging, accessible, and most importantly, fun!

Beyond her role as an educator, Dale has been the heart of the Science department - a nurturing presence who has provided invaluable guidance, support and warmth to both students and colleagues across the Middle and Senior School. Her caring nature has fostered a genuine sense of family within our team, and her ability to listen and uplift those around her has left a lasting impact. As she prepares to spend more time on her beloved farm, we are excited for the new

Karen Bramley

Karen Bramley has made an extraordinary contribution to the health and wellbeing of the Brisbane Grammar School community over the past 17 years.

Retiring from her role as Health Centre Manager, Karen’s healthcare practice and conscientious effort have set the standard for school-based health services within the sector. Karen has been instrumental in modernising the School’s health service. Karen’s dedication to caring for both staff and students has been unwavering. She has not only provided exceptional healthcare, but also made a noteworthy contribution to our Student Wellbeing framework.

Her efforts have ensured students across both Day and Boarding school are supported

adventures that await her. While we will greatly miss her, we hope she’ll continue to pop in for chats, coffee, or perhaps a social event or two.

Thank you, Dale, for being an inspiring mentor and friend. Your legacy of curiosity, compassion, and connection will resonate throughout the school for years to come. Wishing you all the best in your retirement— you will always be a cherished part of our school family.

holistically, fostering an environment where they can thrive. Further, the breadth of Karen’s care was not limited to the Spring Hill campus as she also led the Northgate medical room across Term 2 and 3 sports, and occasionally attended away fixtures in a similar capacity. Karen will be sorely missed by students, staff and parents alike, but her exceptional legacy of a quality health service will remain. We wish her all the best in her retirement.

Megan Marshall

Megan Marshall leaves Brisbane Grammar School—after 14 years of exemplary service as a teacher and curriculum leader—to take up a senior role at The Southport School.

Megan commenced in 2011 as a teacher of Economics and Geography, quickly establishing herself as an enthusiastic, innovative and engaging classroom presence. Megan’s positive contributions to the whole life of the school were visible in her energetic work in the Student Wellbeing domain, in the coaching of Basketball and the leadership of our Enterprise program.

After demonstrating her considerable leadership capacity during stints as a pedagogical coach and acting Head of Department, Megan was appointed to the role of Head of the Economics Department in 2023.

Under Megan’s leadership, Economics has continued to grow in student enrolments and academic prestige. Her mastery of QCAA processes, particularly in assessment design and quality control, has provided clarity and reassurance to her team, all the while building a department culture characterised by collaboration, high standards and shared professional norms.

As a member of, and contributor to the Academic Middle Leaders team, Megan was thoughtful, incisive and reflective, and colleagues invariably found her generous with her time and expertise.

It is with our best wishes Megan leaves us to pursue an important career opportunity.

Sharee-Louise Verdon

Sharee commenced at BGS in 2011 as Head of Year 8 and immediately showed herself to be a wonderful guide and mentor for her graduating classes of 2015 and 2021. In her final two years at BGS she made significant contributions to the refinement of our leadership development program and brought her experience and passion to the Year 6 core teaching team.

Sharee’s contribution to BGS is etched in the experience of hundreds of students who benefited from her committed and strongly relational approach. She knew every student thoroughly and exhibited a remarkable talent for calling out boys’ strengths and allowing them to shine. This benefitted not only their own development and confidence, but also built classes and cohorts with a deep

appreciation of the value of every one of its diverse members. She coached students through academic, pastoral and cocurricular challenges with honesty, authenticity and warmth.

Sharee has been a great supporter of colleagues, displaying positivity, wisdom and care. She has also been an innovator - never afraid to try something new. We wish her all the best as she now pursues a new adventure, living further from the city with her treasured horses.

Stephen Perrett

We wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude and best wishes to Stephen Perrett, who is retiring after an illustrious 18 years as the School’s Catering Manager. Throughout his tenure, Stephen has demonstrated unwavering commitment and excellence in managing the catering function, ensuring that the School’s boarding house, community events, meetings, and the Board of Trustees’ gatherings were all impeccably serviced.

His contributions have not only elevated the culinary standards of our institution, but have also fostered a sense of community and

inclusivity through the shared experience of exceptional food. As we bid farewell to a remarkable colleague, we celebrate Stephen’s legacy of dedication, innovation and cultural richness that will inspire our catering services for years to come. We wish Stephen the best in his retirement and thank him for his outstanding service to Brisbane Grammar School.

From now on, their days at Grammar will become a wash of nostalgic reminiscences. One’s schooldays, and personal triumphs, will become celebrated and when they gather decades on their recollections will fade but their stories will be more decorated.

Each of them will have their favourite memories of school, and they will remain with them long after they have forgotten their lessons. As is appropriate, many memories of school will revolve around the people from whom and with whom they learned rather than the detail of “what they learned.

I wish to commend and to thank the seniors for setting a positive tone throughout the year and for enriching the quality of experiences for students in other year groups. In bidding farewell and wishing you success and happiness, I urge you to keep redrafting your stories, keep refining the central character, think for yourselves and to make your lives extraordinary.

I would like to pay special tribute to their Head of Year, Mr Craig Timms. This is the second year-group he has supported. Something perhaps of Craig’s own character has been reflected in the group - he has clear and firm values and expectations, which

are complemented by a strong humanity. Craig has been ably assisted by the Assistant to the Head of Year, Ms Sarah Macdonald, whose advocacy for the boys and organisational skills sees her repeat the journey again with the seniors of 2025. There are also debts of gratitude to the Form Tutors and

subject teachers and coaches and conductors who often play a role as educators that goes well beyond mere promotion of knowledge. I encourage the seniors to seek out their teachers and thank them for their guidance and encouragement.

I also wish to thank the parents. Thank you for entrusting your sons to BGS and for supporting them over the years in their activities and for supporting the School to nurture their personal and educational development. And finally, I offer my thanks to The Parents & Friends Auxiliary for supporting the valedictory dinner and the organising committee for staging the evening. I especially mention Rachel Emery, who as the Year 12 Parent representative, has been exceptional in keeping the parent body informed and united.

important challenge.

People outside this school often ask, “Why is Grammar so successful?” From my time here, I genuinely believe it is because we have a culture in this School to band together, to enjoy each other’s successes and to lift each other up. This is the secret ingredient in our recipe for success. Our school motto, nil sine labore tells us that nothing comes without work, but we have learnt in our time here that with work comes success. This is the gift Brisbane Grammar has given us.

Today also offers an opportunity to say thank you. Thanks to our fantastic teachers, who have shared with us their passion and expertise. They truly are the best in the business. Thanks to our coaches who have helped us to always get the most out of ourselves. Thanks to all the admin staff, caterers, cleaners and parent volunteers who run the tuckshop, uniform shop, and enhance our school community in so many ways. Special thanks to the grounds staff who keep the School campus and Northgate looking spectacular.

To our Head of Year, Mr Timms, and Assistant Head of Year, Ms McDonald, thank you for your leadership and the support you have shown to our cohort over the last six years. I have had the privilege of working closely with you both over the last year, witnessing firsthand the genuine

care and commitment you have for us all. I’m deeply grateful for all you have done, not only for me and the captains, but also for the rest of the Year 12 cohort. I’d also like to extend my sincere gratitude to the Senior Leadership Team - in particular Mr Micallef and Mr Conway for their guidance this year.

To Mum, Dad and my family, like all the boys here, you have done so much for me. From early morning lifts to training to help with homework, packing lunches, replacing lost uniform and cheering from the sidelines, your support has been unwavering. I may have not said thanks as often as I should have, but I am making up for it today by saying it in front of all these people. Thank you.

Thanks to Charlie, Dom, Ben and Tom, and this year’s School Prefects. As a team, we have done our utmost to lead the School with passion and dedication. I hope that

we can always look back on what we achieved with a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Thanks to all the boys of Brisbane Grammar. It has been my honour and privilege to serve you as your School Captain this year. Remember that we are part of a legacy that stretches back more than 150 years. What we have done and will do in the future matters for those who have come before and those that will follow.

Finally, thanks to the seniors of 2024. For us, our time here is coming to an end. When we put on our school uniform tomorrow morning, it will be for the last time. When we gather tomorrow night for our Valedictory Dinner, it will be the final time that we are all together. I have spent eight years here with many of you - that is half of my lifetime. Together we have won, we’ve lost, we’ve learnt, we’ve laughed, and we have grown. Grammar has shaped us in ways that we are yet to fully appreciate and has provided us with a platform we can use to go out and take on the world.

Brisbane Grammar School aspires to be the best school for boys in Australia. For us, the seniors of 2024, it already is and always will be.

Thank you and farewell.

Head of Year 12

For the year group, the beginning of a new academic year brought a unique privilege - the honour of being the first senior custodians of the STEAM Precinct. In previous years, we had only watched its construction with curiosity and anticipation. However, in 2024 we eagerly embraced the opportunities it provided - new social spaces, innovative classrooms and collaborative learning environments.

In January, our student leaders gathered in the Atrium to set the tone for the year. With the

message of “All in”, every student was challenged to unite, compete and support one another as they navigated the expectations, traditions and events of their senior year.

The year has been filled with achievements, alongside a few disappointments that served as moments for reflection and growth. Whether we were celebrating our debaters, cheering our swimmers upon their return from Chandler, enjoying performances from our musicians, gathering for exams, or

coming together for Bi-Grammar events, the cohort made its mark and showed what could be accomplished.

The STEAM Precinct became the place of a new culture. It inspired the boys to triumph in two ‘343’ events at Northgate, fostered collaboration, and cultivated a spirit of brotherhood, with laughter echoing through the space during breaks. This year, they took on the challenge and, in doing so, built a reputation that extended beyond the STEAM Precinct and reached across the entire School.

It is difficult to fully capture the impact of everything the cohort has achieved, but when they return— whenever that may be—they will always be reminded of how special their final year at Brisbane Grammar School truly was.

As we look back on this remarkable year, it’s evident that Year 11 has been a transformative journey filled with growth, excitement and achievement. This pivotal year has set a strong foundation as students

prepare to enter their final year of schooling.

One of the standout moments of 2024 was the eagerly anticipated transition to the new STEAM Precinct. This fresh, dynamic

environment has invigorated the students’ learning experiences, fostering a sense of pride and enthusiasm that will carry them into their final year.

The high levels of participation in cocurricular and Public Purpose initiatives have been truly inspiring. From sports and debating to arts and various other activities, students have embraced every opportunity to grow and excel outside the classroom. Their active involvement has enriched their school life and contributed to a vibrant and engaged community. Our Year 11 students also shone through their role as student leaders in Outdoor Education. Their leadership and commitment to service have been exemplary,

setting a high standard for peer support and community involvement.

It would be remiss not to publicly acknowledge and thank Mr Larry Carmichael, who retired during Term 2, for his years of dedication. His profound understanding of the boys and insightful guidance of the cohort have been instrumental in their success. I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our incredible Form Tutors and Mr Ged Hales, whose unwavering support and dedication have been crucial in guiding students through this important stage.

As Year 11 students look ahead to their final year, they do so with a strong sense of purpose and direction. The growth and achievements of this year have set them up for an exciting and promising future. I eagerly anticipate their continued success and the bright future that lies ahead.

Year 10

The Year 10 cohort of 2024 have achieved a series of promising results in the classroom and have positioned themselves as strong contributors to those in our community, with service being a particular focus of each of the 18 Tutor Groups.

Year 10 have progressed through the academic landscape to decide upon what opportunities await them in 2025. To witness their growing maturity and admission of accountability in this domain has been a point of distinct pleasure for all staff.

Within the cocurricular domain, students displayed a flair for exceptional levels of engagement. Music produced a series of wonderful concerts and

performances. The Senior School Dramatic Production of Romeo and Juliet was a phenomenal undertaking with a series of strong performances. In the Debating halls, the students were able to maintain

their wonderful record of success in the GPS and QDU competitions. The Swimming and Cross Country communities attained success with grit and team cohesion. The Year 10 cohort dominated a record-breaking

GPS Swimming triumph. The Cricket community saw talented players represent the School in the First XI teams. The leadership of Year 10 Rugby was outstanding, with three Year 10s entering the First XV.

The boys worked to service a range of Public Purpose opportunities. They helped with targeted projects such as ‘Hope in a Suitcase’ and the Leukaemia foundation’s ‘Shave for a Cure’.

There are many significant people to thank for the success of the cohort. Rachael Dauber and Vanessa Gillman, Year 10 Parent Representatives, deserve enormous praise for their desire to create a cohesive community.

Year 10 will enter their senior years at the school well placed to excel.

Year 9

2024 has been a year of substantial growth and development for the Year 9 cohort. With the transition from Middle to Senior School comes exciting opportunity, increased responsibility, enhanced expectation and age-appropriate independence,

and it has been exciting to watch the boys adopt this new approach.

From an academic perspective, 2024 has challenged our students to develop effective academic routines and habits and implement these into their daily and weekly

operations, outside of school hours. Further, the expectation for effort and application towards all academic tasks has been the basis of consistent focus across the year. It has been exciting to observe the boys rise to this challenge, and subsequently develop the necessary level of academic autonomy and independence that is required to achieve success in an ever-changing and advancing world.

The wellbeing of our students is at the forefront of our approach. Students have transitioned onto the pastoral model of the Senior School while immersing themselves into the cultural projects explored within student wellbeing. Running parallel to this were the adventures of Moogerah, notably summiting

Mt Greville as part of the weeklong immersion for Year 9. Further, it has been wonderful to see so many boys engaging in the wide-ranging initiatives on offer within Public Purpose.

The Cocurricular program continues to provide the perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment, as well as enhance the development of collaborative skills and cohesive thinking via the various sporting and cultural programs within this domain. Across the course of the year, boys participated enthusiastically and should be proud of their continued effort and application to achieving outstanding results on the field, with the orchestra, or as part of their dramatic productions.

I thank our parent community for their ongoing support and look forward to continuing our connection in 2025.

Year 8

The Year 8 cohort had a remarkably successful final year in Middle School, marked by a “back to the future” moment as classes returned to N Block - a nod to the school’s rich history. This year was packed with numerous highlights, showcasing the boys’ enthusiasm, resilience and camaraderie.

One of the most memorable

experiences was the camp at Moogerah, where the boys had the opportunity to connect with nature, challenge themselves in various outdoor activities, and strengthen their bonds with peers. The camp served not only as a break from the classroom but also as a vital component of their personal development, fostering leadership,

teamwork and independence.

The Innovation Summit was an exciting week. It allowed the boys to explore cutting-edge ideas and technologies, encouraging them to think like innovators and problemsolvers. This event not only sparked their curiosity but also gave them a glimpse into the future, preparing them for the challenges and

opportunities that lie ahead.

The Quest program, an allday activity in collaboration with BGGS, was another standout event. It provided the boys with a platform to engage in interdisciplinary challenges, encouraging critical thinking and creativity. This experience was not just about academic growth; it also emphasised the importance of working collaboratively and thinking outside the box, skills that will serve them well in their future academic and personal endeavours.

Participation in GPS sports was a highlight of the year. The boys displayed exceptional sportsmanship and dedication,

whether on the field, track or court. Their commitment to training and competition reflected the values of teamwork, perseverance and respect, reinforcing the importance of balancing academics with physical fitness and teamwork.

Throughout the year, the boys approached every challenge with great enthusiasm, whether in the classroom, on the sports field, or in various cocurricular activities. Their positive attitude and willingness to

engage fully in all aspects of school life have set a strong foundation as they prepare to transition into the Senior School. The year has been a testament to their growth, both academically and personally, and we look forward to seeing what they will achieve in the years to come.

Year 7

As an intake year for Brisbane Grammar School, Year 7 provides an opportunity to build the cultural foundation that will foster success in the boys’ journey through School.

The analogy introduced to the cohort on the first day of the 2024 school year was that of a 270-piece orchestra: to realise our collective performance ambitions we needed to ensure that we pursued individual excellence. The School’s teachers and coaches would be our conductors, and the BGS values would provide the music that ensured we were playing in harmony.

The establishment of these cultural norms was the focus of the cohort’s orientation program that kicked off the year with three days of team-building activities, a highlight of which was the inflatable obstacle course in the Indoor Sports Centre pool. As well as cooling off in the water, this program introduced students to the routines and expectations that are the bedrock of Grammar’s success while also facilitating the establishment of social connections.

The Year 7 Outdoor Education

experience provided a rich opportunity within a dynamic and challenging environment to demonstrate the developing culture of the group. What was most evident was the positivity and optimism of the cohort, with each Tutor Group embracing the opportunity to get out of their comfort zone. When under pressure, their key collective traits— collaboration, leadership of self, and acceptance of others—rose to the occasion to ensure our first trip to Pepperina Hill was such a rewarding experience.

These traits have also been

demonstrated in the cohort’s engagement in the Cocurricular program, where they have pursued excellence as a collective to realise notable achievements across Music, the Performing Arts and Sport. Similarly, boys have embraced leadership opportunities in Public Purpose, while our Class Captains and Cocurricular Ambassadors have offered support and encouragement to their peers.

While much of the year focused on developing our cohort culture, creativity was at the fore of the Innovation Summit, where the boys

made the most of the opportunities afforded by the STEAM building. Across the three days of the program, students were immersed in the design process, producing astonishing outcomes that highlighted what they can achieve when provided with the time and space for authentic collaboration and problem solving.

While the challenges we face as a cohort will increase in complexity in the coming years, the foundational values reinforced this year will remain constant, ensuring we remain in harmony as we prepare for the performances to come.

Year 6

Year 6 continued to blaze a trail as the first large cohort of younger students, 150 strong. They built lasting connections with even more peers through re-arranged classes and cocurricular teams. Already a highly participatory cohort, Year 6 students relished the additional opportunities provided by new STEAM clubs.

Students exercised their growing independence in Term 1 with an overnight stay at the School’s Outdoor Education facility, Moogerah. This camp gave students extended experiences on both water and land, and an enhanced appreciation for both the cultural and environmental values of the area. The evening’s animal show even included a challenging opportunity to handle a large python.

The highlight of the year for many students was their week-long trip to Sydney and Canberra in Term 3. The trip connected with their study of Australia’s federation and system of government in History. Diverse experiences included a Sydney Harbour ferry trip, Questacon (the

National Science Centre), Parliament House, the Australian War Memorial and the Australian Institute of Sport. A continued focus on Protect and Connect included addressing and preventing bullying, exploring friendships, emotions and child safety, and age-appropriate sessions

from guest presenters, True Relationships.

During Term 4, the cohort participated in the Solar Buddy program which included a practical element, helping students in less developed countries. This complimented their Geography curriculum which focused on Australia’s connection with Asia and the regional social and environmental issues that require solving. Students impressed each other, teachers and parents by successfully communicating their deep knowledge and understanding.

Many Year 6 students developed their leadership skills while serving as class captains, year level representatives for cocurricular activities, and as captains and reporters for weekly sporting fixtures. During Term 4, students started making the gentle, but still significant, transition to Year 7, where they will welcome a further 150 students to complete their cohort.

Year 5

Each year, it is with pleasure that we welcome the newest cohort to the school, our Year 5 students, whose characteristic zeal and unmistakable zest for life sparks a wonderful start to the school year. This year was no exception, and the Year 5 cohort of 2024 has had a year packed full of experiences that kept their collective spark burning bright.

As the boys came to better know their School, classmates, teachers and themselves, their sense of becoming Grammar boys and their wellbeing strengthened. Year 5 students engaged with experiences such as the Orientation Program and learning through the extensive Student Wellbeing Curriculum to support this process.

A diverse academic program ensured the boys experienced a host of opportunities for endeavour. Activities such as the Savvy Scientist, the Music Immersion

Program, STEAM Challenges, History excursions, Clay Day and Book Week reflect the richness of the landscape for learning opportunities.

Sporting and cultural activities and events were a wonderful space for connection, interdependence and personal growth. Year 5 students were well engaged across the spectrum of sporting codes and cultural activities throughout the year, an indication of their positive development.

The boys have been ably supported this year, and I extend my sincere thanks to our Year 5 form tutor team: Mrs Baker, Ms Davies, Mr Hawkins, Ms Pratt, Mr Straughan, and Mr Riley, and to our parent representatives, Mrs Alyson Cooper and Mrs Narda McCarthy and their team of parent volunteers for their support to the Year 5 cohort throughout the year.

In this foundational year, the boys have shown that they can successfully navigate challenges, and they have grown into a positive community of Grammar boys. I look forward with interest to seeing them continue to flourish as they step up to Year 6 in 2025.

Outdoor Education

A Year of Growth and Connection

This year at Lake Moogerah, BGS students truly embodied the Outdoor Education motto, “It’s the effort put in that counts.” Through their engagement with the natural environment and community, they have learned valuable lessons about themselves, others and the land.

In 2024, students continued to advance the regeneration and reforestation efforts, dedicating over 600 hours to land care. They removed invasive weeds from the Bitenbar site and planted 300 native trees around Pepperina Hill, contributing significantly to the health and sustainability of the ecosystem. A landmark event this year was the first controlled burn conducted by BGS at Bitenbar. This burn was carefully managed to clear undergrowth, supporting the life cycle of native and protected species and demonstrating our commitment to land stewardship.

The impact of these experiences on students has been profound. Year 10 student Lewis Hay reflected on his final program at Moogerah,

saying, “The staff are not only welcoming but teach you and enrich you in the culture of Indigenous Australians, in the form of dance, games and laying under the stars and telling you a story. As your stay at Moogerah gets longer, your ability to lead and become more mature grows more prominent.”

This deep connection to culture and personal growth is a testament to the program’s holistic approach.

Nick Walker shared his thoughts,

stating, “I feel as if I have grown significantly as a person. After climbing the challenging mountains and pushing my personal limits, I have found myself to be a lot more capable than I thought I was. The Moogerah experience has allowed me to feel a sense of connection that has grown over the years, courtesy of the staff and my classmates.”

Through their efforts and reflections, BGS students in Years 5

to 11 have not only made a tangible impact on the environment, but have also experienced personal growth and forged strong bonds with their peers and the land. This year at Moogerah has truly demonstrated the power of effort, and the richness of learning that comes from it.

Boarding

The success of Grammar Boarding in 2024 is largely due to the selfless contributions of many. This is highlighted when reflecting on the Parent Boarder Support Boarding at Brisbane Grammar School has continued to grow and innovate throughout 2024. The Boarding core values of connection, contribution and courage have regularly surfaced through the people, places and programs that bring Grammar Boarding to life.

Fostering opportunities for our boarding community to build deeper connections with one another has been a hallmark of this year. From the orientation program to commencing the year with new boarders; from the reinvigorated Activities program to the advent of closed weekends and more regular parent socials; the opportunities for our community to connect have been abundant. The social ecosystem that is strengthened by these bonds serves to support our boarders through the trials and tribulations that can be expected in student residential communities.

Group’s efforts in stocking and staffing the Boarding Coffee & Cake Stall that operated during Open Day. These parents’ efforts are tangibly reflected in the 2024 Boarding

Polo Shirts worn so proudly by our boarders, emblazoned with a design devised by several of our Harlin House students. Additionally, the contribution of Old Boy Tutors to the academic success of our boarders cannot go unrecognised.

The core value of courage develops across the breadth of

our Boarding community. Whether exhibited in those tentative first steps early in one’s Boarding journey or by the parents who bid farewell to their son for the first time; by the boarder who participates in a new activity or the staff member who constructs and leads - courage is critical to the

success of our community.

Thank you to all those who have made Grammar Boarding in 2024 such an incredible experience.

Senior Library

Libraries play a crucial role in schools, acting as dynamic centres for learning, exploration and personal growth. At BGS, our libraries offer access to resources, nurture a love of reading and support the development of research skills and critical thinking. Beyond being mere repositories for books, libraries are safe havens where students can delve into their interests, collaborate with peers and engage in both creative and academic activities.

The Senior Library has been filled with numerous initiatives to enrich students’ learning experiences. As we continually endeavour

to enhance or recapture boys’ interest in recreational reading, it was heartening to see an increase in fiction borrowings across the School. Encouraging a love for reading enhances literacy, supports wellbeing and builds a lifelong habit of learning and personal growth.

Celebrated activities continued with the ‘Get Caught’ reading competition, the Lego Club, and Science Week which sparked curiosity with an ant farm, weightlifting competitions and Lego creations. Book Week featured the ‘Canva Cover’ competition, and the ‘May the Fourth’ celebration delighted Star Wars fans with

themed activities. The Readers Cup and Book Club provided platforms for students to engage with literature in a creative, supportive environment.

A focus has been educating students about information and digital literacy, which are crucial in today’s world. Explicitly teaching students to critically evaluate sources, understand credibility and effectively use digital tools, we create awareness and confidence in our students. Mastering the research process equips them with skills essential for academic success and lifelong learning.

This year, we farewell Library Technician, Mrs Bernadette van den Hout, who has been an integral part of BGS Libraries’ foundation and development. Throughout her 16 years, she has connected with thousands of students, offering guidance and direction in their reading choices. We thank her for her dedication and commitment and wish her well in retirement.

Centenary Library

The wonderful space that has been Centenary Library for the past 11 years celebrated its final year this year with the same enjoyment and enthusiasm as always. With its colourful seating and stimulating displays, Centenary Library has been a popular, safe and welcoming space where thousands of students throughout the years have been able to unwind, relax, engage and enjoy. This year was busy and exciting, celebrating events such as Book Week, Star Wars Week, Horror Week and Science Week. Reading, of course, was the main focus, with over 6,000 books borrowed this year and, to tie in with English units, the Library was decorated in Fantasy and Sci-Fi themes. Book Week in Term 1 was a lively and inspiring week with

author Jack Heath the stand-out favourite. In an interactive session, he demonstrated how to write more creatively by focusing on editing, and this advice was reinforced by author Charlotte Barkla when she

was here as Writer in Residence. During Term 2, all Year 7s were involved in a Shared Reading Challenge with their parents as reading buddies. For nine boys, Term 2 also ended with a trip to

North Lakes College to participate in the Brisbane North Readers Cup competition, while Term 3 saw many boys participating in our Reading Olympics challenges.

Academic excellence was not forgotten with the Library continuing to support learning and information needs. This included Science, History and Geography research help, academic integrity lessons, and senior students offering help with homework, thus ensuring academic excellence was always an achievable goal.

2025 will see the amalgamation of three libraries into two as Year 7s join the Middle School Library and Year 8s join the Senior Library. Whilst we will miss Centenary Library, we look forward to making the new Library an even more vibrant space in the new year.

Middle School Library

This year, the boys have found that reading is magic in the Middle School Library.

The beginning of the year kickstarted our celebration of books with Book Week. Students and parents were invited to the Book Week Breakfast where Deborah Abela spoke about her journey as a reader and an author. The Centenary Hall was decorated with a range of posters from Year 6, displaying design around the theme ‘Reading is Magic’. The Year 6 students were further spoilt, with a visit from Mark Greenwood about his History Mysteries and how he makes history come alive. Somerset Storyfest capped off the term for a group of Year 6s who were lucky enough to experience the joy of talking books all day.

Olympic celebrations ran

throughout Terms 2 and 3. The ‘Reading Relay’ saw competition heat up between different classes, where 6D were ultimately victorious and celebrated with a French-

themed lunch in the library. Term 3 saw individuals take part in medal events and compete against teachers and peers. There were many activities to engage in and

many words read.

The Bookfair had a range of new books and favourite titles available and all who visited enjoyed shopping for themselves and others. Throughout the year the Library Monitors engaged in library services for all patrons and were renamed ‘Library Legends’. These students enjoyed returning and reshelving, however their main responsibility was taking more ownership over the space and creating dynamic and engaging displays, bookmarks and posters for the library.

The Middle School Library saw a new team deliver well-loved activities and new and exciting challenges for students and staff this year. The students and staff have enjoyed getting to know each other and talking all things bookish.

Middle School Library staff look forward to continuing the reading adventure next year.

Athene Club

For the last two years, answering the question “what actually is Athene Club?” from curious non-members has never been straightforward. No one-sentence answer ever does justice to the calibre of intellectual thought witnessed at each meeting or to the deep bonds forged within the group through discussion.

Each meeting this year brought a unique atmosphere. Some were rowdy and enflamed by controversy; others were sombre and reflective. Some filled the open space of ST514 and ST515 while others were intimate enough that we could do away with putting hands up to speak.

Jacqueline

Papers, as always, pushed boundaries and tested our thinking. Dominic Forrest offered us all a rigorous exercise in philosophical debate with his paper on antinatalism. Samuel Hains cast our minds back to the dawn of humanity with his paper on the origins of language and human

consciousness. From our BGGS companions, we discussed papers on topics such as cancel culture, the pursuit of immortality, and, more humorously, romantic relationships with AI.

It was excellent to see the club flourish again, with the number of meetings held this year returning to a high not seen since before COVID. For helping with this Athene renaissance, I thank all members, Mr Howes and Ms Genders (BGGS) as coordinators, and the ultra-proactive BGGS President, Sophie List.

For those in this year’s group, like those who have come before us, we part with the knowledge that confronting the questions of our times is best done with an open ear and open mind - wisdom that perhaps captures the essence of the Athene Club.

Chess Club

Chess continues to be a popular sport at BGS. In 2024, the Middle School Chess Club (Year 5 & 6) activities continued throughout the year. Beginners through to advanced players attended, enjoying the opportunity to engage with likeminded individuals, as well as partake in the competitive rivalry and camaraderie.

Throughout the year, selected players competed in the Queensland Interschool Chess competition. Our premier team: Shallon Lin, Elvis Wu, Lucas Wang, Oliver Ha (Term 2) and Charlie Wang (Terms 1, 3 and 4) achieved first place in each divisional tournament, enabling them to qualify for the State Finals. Their consistent play and teamwork were key components in this laudable effort.

There were many other fine performances across our teams throughout the year. In Round 1, our A Grade team consisting of Oliver Ha, Lewis Zhu, Ethan Kao and Ethan Milford placed second, just behind BGS Team 1. In the B division, Alan Gai, Henry Lee, Ryan Cao and George Ling achieved first place.

In Round 2, the A Grade team consisted of Charlie Wang, Lewis

Zhu, Ethan Kao and Ethan Milford, who placed fourth. In the B division, Lucas Tong, George Ling, Harish Anand, Tristan Ng placed second.

In Round 3, in the Premier division, Oliver Ha, Lewis Zhu, Ethan Kao and Joshua Smith achieved fifth place. In the A Grade division, Max Wang, George Ling, Ryan Cao and Henry Lee achieved fourth place, just half a point ahead of Theodore Moore, Oscar Law, Samuel Beck and Alan Gai who followed close behind

to take fifth place. The tournament series allowed many players to gain experience and increase their ratings throughout the year.

I extend my sincere thanks to the Chess community, particularly our coaches, Mr Patrick Byrom and Mr Charles Gu, for their dedicated efforts with our youngest Chess players this year.

Duke of Edinburgh Award

The Duke of Edinburgh (DoE) Award is internationally recognised and encourages participants to explore their individual interests. A longstanding part the Cocurricular program at BGS, the DoE program has seen hundreds of students achieve bronze, silver and gold awards over the years.

This year saw seven of our students and Old Boys recognised with gold awards for their efforts. Old Boys Rahul Kumar, Jovan Yen, Patrick Strotton, Simson Thomas, Angus Norris, James Fearon, and current Year 12 student Christopher Yesberg were all invited to receive their award at City Hall. These boys will also have their names added to the Gold Award Honour Board which holds names of gold awardees back to the 1970s.

The rest of the award is also alive and well with around 40 students signing up to start the program this year. To complete their award, they must compete hours of effort in the areas of Physical Recreation, Learning a Skill, Service to the Community, and Adventurous Journey.

For many students, the highlight of the award is the Adventurous Journey. Although some students opt to complete this with external providers, most students sign up to complete the expeditions planned

by our staff here at School. This year saw our first extended trip, with our bronze students spending four days hiking the North New South Wales Coast and the silver and gold students doubling that. These students planned and conducted their journey, with the silver and gold students taking on greater navigation and planning responsibility. We are extremely grateful for the work put into these expeditions by our Outdoor Education staff who make the Award possible to run at the school.

Our Award also runs the Bridge Award which has two levels offered to students in Years 7 and 8. The Bridge Award has the same components as the bronze DoE, with a reduced time requirement. We had a number of students involved in the Bridge Award this year

with three having completed the second level.

Finally, we would like to thank all our community members who take time to be assessors for our awardees. In particular, the teachers, Tuckshop and BGS Library staff who supported our program. We look forward to seeing these programs continue to help boys broaden their interests in 2025.

Mrs Sophie Lusk and Mr Casey Walker Duke of Edinburgh Award Leaders

Faith Fellowship Group

The Faith Fellowship Group (FFG) provides students with the opportunity to consider some of the deeper questions of life. Discussions include faith-based perspectives on issues our students face. Students of any or no particular faith are welcome to participate.

This year, students met in yearlevel groups each week before school (Years 9-12), or at morning tea (Years 7 and 8). Monthly after school meetings (Years 9-12) and each Friday lunch (Years 5-8) provided opportunities to join in fun but purposeful activities alongside students from other year levels.

More students than ever before attended one of the annual FFG holiday camps in April (Years 9-12) and September (Years 5-8), with over 170 students participating. Each camp used a movie theme to help students explore Christianity and other faith-based belief systems. A standout feature of the camps was the very positive inter-year communities that were established, aided by both student and volunteer Old Boy leaders.

Many boys return year after year to an FFG camp for both the comradery and the myriad of fun activities.

A distinctive feature of FFG is the encouragement of student leadership, including student involvement in the planning and

running of many activities. The wonderful participation of a fine group of Year 12 students, many of whom held other leadership roles within their cohort, is acknowledged as we farewell them this year.

Respect Project

Creating a culture of inclusivity and respect is at the heart of the Gender Respect Project Group at our School. Our mission revolves around promoting equality, nurturing respectful relationships, developing leadership skills, encouraging healthy expressions of masculinity, and celebrating diversity. Central to our efforts is amplifying student voice, ensuring that every student feels heard and valued in our community.

The year began with our members attending the United Nations International Women’s Day Luncheon, which provided valuable insights into the persistent genderbased inequalities within our society. This event was instrumental in raising awareness and inspiring positive change among our peers.

Our partnership with RizeUp, a non-profit organisation supporting people fleeing domestic violence, continued to strengthen throughout the year. With the support of the Junior Dramatic Production, we raised enough funds to fully furnish a home for a family in need.

This initiative made a significant difference in the lives of those affected by domestic violence, creating a tangible impact through our efforts.

We expanded our focus beyond gender equality to embrace a broader commitment to inclusivity, examining how language can shape culture. We developed the “Language Matters” campaign and created a short video to help our peers understand the power of words. Over several weeks, we explored the casual language, often used without much thought, and its impact on others. The video addressed language related to race and culture, sex and gender,

and disabilities. It was then used during student wellbeing lessons to provoke thoughtful discussions about the power of words and their impact on others.

Despite our varied viewpoints and unique backgrounds, we stand together in our belief that empathy, respect, and a dedication to nondiscrimination are core values at BGS. This shared commitment not only defines our group but also strengthens our community as a whole.

Greening Grammar

Greening Grammar has partaken in numerous endeavours and projects this year. Our main initiative, Containers for Change, is Greening Grammar’s sole source of income and involves a group of boys and teachers spending an hour each fortnight sorting through the rubbish collected in the 10 cent recycling bins. At the start of the year, the amount of general waste in the bins was unfortunately high. However, an effort to raise awareness about proper recycling has positively impacted their contents, with younger members of the club addressing the student body about the issue at Middle School Assembly.

Pizza box recycling has been another successful initiative for Greening Grammar this year. The Middle School boys have put in a fantastic effort, collecting pizza

boxes for recycling every Tuesday. The club has also run battery recycling, in addition to paper and cardboard collection throughout the year. Our Year 8 students were fortunate enough to travel to Moreton Island as Eco Marine Ambassadors and return with a wealth of knowledge on how we can help our own community.

Greening Grammar is committed to having a tangible impact on the environment and works to foster a more sustainable community. So,

we will be continuing our regular initiatives for the remainder of the year. We also have a variety of exciting upcoming projects for both Term 4 and next year. Looking towards the future, the dedicated Year 11 cohort and passionate younger students give me faith that the Year 12s are leaving the club in competent hands.

Junior Maker Club

As the school year ends, we are delighted to celebrate the first year of 'The Junior Maker Club.' This unique club, previously known as ‘The Shed,’ has provided middle school students with an exciting and hands-on experience in building and construction within the new STEAM building, 'The Junior Maker Club' has become a vibrant centre of creativity and learning, igniting the imagination of our young builders.

What continues to set this club apart is its uniqueness compared to other cocurricular activities. For example, students are encouraged to create their own wooden board game, ‘Cathedral’. Each student meticulously crafts a full set of pieces and a game board using the new STEAM machines and workshop tools. This space also offers a safe environment for students to build confidence while

using the equipment under guidance. The students love it!

Due to the need for machinery and tools, the club can only accommodate 12 students per semester. This limitation ensures the safety and accessibility of resources. Consequently, the demand for club membership often exceeds availability, resulting in a waiting list for this engaging and enriching activity.

In summary, the Junior Maker Club has been a sanctuary of creativity, learning and hands-on experiences for our middle school students. It has empowered them to explore their interests, develop essential skills, and create their own unique paths in the world of construction and craftsmanship. As we say goodbye

to another school year, we eagerly anticipate the next chapter and middle school students it will inspire in 2025 and beyond.

BGS Community Public Purpose

The community spirit at BGS has shone brightly this year, with students in Years 5-12 coming together with staff and parents to make a significant impact through Public Purpose.

Service remains central to Public Purpose, and BGS students have continued to offer their time to support the wider community. The Reading Partners program connected students from Years 7-10, providing weekly reading support to younger children at Brisbane Central State School. The Homework Club helped Kelvin Grove State College students with their homework, particularly those for whom English is a second language. Senior students also offered homework help to BGS boys in the Middle School Libraries twice a week. The Eat Up initiative saw students make over 4,500 sandwiches for students in Southeast Queensland who face hunger at school. Additionally, BGS also supported St Vincent de Paul’s through the Christmas Hamper Appeal, providing hampers to families in need.

The Days of Significance group raised awareness and provided

education on important topics including Safer Internet Day, Harmony Week, Men’s Health Week, the Bullying No Way National Week of Action and R U OK? Day.

The Public Purpose fundraising initiatives were also successful.

The World’s Greatest Shave raised over $64,500 to support leukemia research, while the Starlight Super Swim raised over $7,000 to support children during their hospital stays. The Push-Up Challenge raised $10,346 to support mental health initiatives and services for Australians, and the Sleepout for

Brisbane Youth Services raised $2,500 to assist youth experiencing homelessness. The Guide Dogs Youth Ambassador Program raised $2,300 to continue supporting the training of guide dogs that assist people living with vision impairments.

The collective efforts of the Public Purpose groups reflect the dedication of the BGS community to making a positive impact locally and beyond.

Public Speaking

Every year, we notice how students craft speeches that capture their concerns, but what resonated through this year’s speeches was the power of the authentic voice. When it is so easy to generate text on any topic, speakers in this year’s competitions knew that the best way to engage an audience is with a genuine interest and a personal style. The public speaking competition is a wonderful opportunity for students to be honest, vulnerable and brave in front of a public audience.

In the Middle School competitions, students offered impressive self-awareness of health and wellbeing, delving into issues contributing to happy, fulfilling lives. They navigated the dualedged nature of generative AI, found hilarity in family dynamics, and celebrated the fusion of cultures which form contemporary Australian identities. Delivered as stories interwoven with fact, opinion and practical advice, speeches were engaging and entertaining.

Judges commented on the difficulty in separating competitors who artfully delivered with outstanding expression and vocal conviction.

In Years 9-12, students challenged audiences to reflect on our current state and question where we are heading. Using language that persuaded and entertained, speakers probed issues about anonymity, identity and accountability. Other memorable

speeches prompted us to think about the responsibility of leaders and the manipulative effects of language. The true skill of the speaker, as witnessed this year, is not just in balancing style and substance, but also in delivering with authenticity.

Science Extension Activities

This year has been exciting for the Science extension space. In early May, 60 students enthusiastically joined the Big Science Competition. This global competition, open to Years 7-10, is a 50-minute, multiplechoice online test that challenges

students' science knowledge, critical thinking and problemsolving skills. The questions are set in contemporary and reallife contexts, making them both relatable and interesting. Our students outperformed the rest of

the competition across all metrics. In late May, 43 students participated in the Junior Science Olympiad, which was divided into a Year 7 and 8 level, and a more challenging Year 9 & 10 level. These exams are known for being challenging and rewarding and are only held once a year, covering biology, chemistry, earth and environmental science, and physics. Impressively, six students achieved high distinction, placing them in the top 10% of the competition, while 11 students earned distinctions, placing them in the next 20%.

During Term 3, 45 Year 10 and 11 students took part in the Biology, Chemistry, and Physics Olympiad Competition. Pleasingly, 7 students placed in the top 10% with a High Distinction – one in Biology, 2 in Chemistry and 4 in Physics.

At the end of 2023, we re-joined the Australian Brain Bee Challenge. Alex Sampson and Eamman Conomos qualified for the State

Finals in late July. Congratulations to Eamman who took out the top prize and will attend the National Australian Brain Bee Challenge in December in Perth as the Queensland Champion. Additionally, individual students were chosen to participate in the Senior Research Immersion Program, as part of Students Performing Advanced Research in Queensland Education (SPARQed), at the Translational Research Institute (TRI) this year. After the weeklong experimental project, they presented their findings to family members, teachers, and the TRI community.

These activities highlight the dedication and talent of our students in the Science extension space. We look forward to more achievements and opportunities in the future.

Student Reconciliation Action Group

This year the Student Reconciliation Action Group at BGS continued its work in acknowledging key dates on the Australian calendar dedicated to reconciliation and cultural awareness. By actively participating in events such as Closing the Gap Day, National Sorry Day, Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week, the group has not only raised awareness and celebrated First Nations histories and culture, but also inspired action within the school community.

During Reconciliation Week the BGS Libraries and the Student Reconciliation Action Group partnered to host the first annual Book Swap, with funds raised going to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. This important foundation provides culturally relevant books and learning resources to children and families in remote Indigenous communities across Australia.

The BGS Student Reconciliation Action Group were also invited by the BGGS Uralla Club during Reconciliation Week to view the documentary The Last Daughter. The film, which delves into the personal journey of a Stolen

Generation survivor, sparked meaningful conversations among the students, encouraging deeper reflection on Australia’s history.

In NAIDOC Week Mark Humphreys (Year 12) and Darcy Lewis (Year 11) shared the First Nations BGS Boarders Totem artwork for 2024 with the school. This artwork, created by First Nations boys from the boarding community, reflects the unity and diversity of their experiences. Featuring handprints in school colours, symbolising the interconnection of the boys' lives. It also includes the Brisbane River, representing their journey to the school. Meeting places around Brisbane highlight the wide reach of

the community, while the inclusion of personal totems—a goanna, red kangaroo, emu, and snake— celebrates their cultural heritage. The painting represents the bonds formed in boarding, with boys from different backgrounds coming together as lifelong friends.

We look forward to the opportunities 2025 brings for the Student Reconciliation Action Group to continue celebrating First Nations culture, histories and advancing reconciliation efforts throughout the school community.

Titration

On Saturday May 18, BGS proudly sent three teams of dedicated students to compete in the Queensland Titration Competition, hosted by the Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences at the University of Queensland. This challenging event tasked these young chemists with determining the number of moles in a given acid, through precise acidbase 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. Their hard work paid off with Alexander Keir, Will Yuen, and Chris Zhu securing third place in the competition, also earning individual gold awards for their exceptional performances.

Congratulations to the other team members as well, for their impressive achievements: Sean Huang, Aaron Wang and Shaun Li each received gold awards, while Andre Kwok, Nick Carroll and Isaac Chan earned silver awards.

Our Year 9 and 10 students dedicated themselves to preparing for future competitions by mastering titration techniques and calculations early. Special mentions go to Year 10 students Daniel Ahn and Timothy Zhu, who showcased their titration skills at the BGS Open Day. 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 brilliantly vivid blue diamond-shaped 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 2025.

The Model UN program and Evatt competitions throughout the year provide an immersive experience for students interested in international relations, politics and world affairs.

Robotics – First Lego League

(Years 5 and 6)

Students embarked on an exciting journey this year through the First Lego League (FLL) Challenge - an annual competition. This year’s theme, “Submerged," tasked students with designing and programming robots that can navigate underwater-themed puzzles, promoting awareness of marine conservation. The challenge pushed them to think critically and collaboratively about how technology can be used in meaningful ways to solve real-world problems.

Robotics - First Tech

(Year 7 to 12)

Robotics recruits tackled the basics of design, building and programming before splitting into teams to perfect their robots. Competing in the first ever in-house competition named Postal Panic, teams went head-to-head across 12 matches and a final round where Teams 1 and 3 secured first-place Alliance Awards, and Team 7 earned the honorary Design Award.

STEAM Enterprise Groups

BGS STEAM Enterprise Groups have expanded as an offering this year, with new and exciting programs to scope and sequence entrepreneurial thinking from Year 7 through to senior years. We have also been fortunate to welcome enthusiastic staff members to facilitate our groups, including Natalie Berndt, Lilla Csaki and Debra da Silva.

One of our Enterprise Group highlights has been the wonderful STEAM Tank pilot program that connected our Year 9 students to the Venture Capital and Old Boy Community through the selfless work of Old Boys Julian Campbell ‘12 and Toby Vann ‘07. We have also ignited the entrepreneurial spirit in our younger students with Enterprise Juniors for Years 7-8.

In the senior years, STEAM Enterprise has provided students with opportunities to extend their learnings of Economics from the classroom to real-life. Our Coffee teams, Just Brew It and Brew in Blue, have experienced the highs and lows of running a business, excelled in producing

the perfect brew and donated their profits to charity. Our senior boys also enjoyed collaborating and competing with students from Brisbane Girls Grammar School in the Ecoman program and Australian Business Week competition.

Please enjoy the key highlights from our programs featured below.

Coffee – Semester 1

Amid the daily hustle, Brew in Blue became a key part of the morning routine in 2024, offering expertly crafted coffees, milkshakes and hot chocolates. Run by 28 students, the coffee stall has created a community hub for students and teachers alike, serving drinks every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday morning.

Though only 12 students initially received formal barista training due to weather disruptions, these experts trained the rest, ensuring the whole team could deliver highquality coffee to our community. Thanks to their efforts, Brew in Blue quickly gained popularity, as students and staff sought a reliable alternative to the STEAM Café.

The student-led initiative not only ran efficiently, but also provided invaluable real-world business experience. Under the leadership of Ferdi Rombola (CEO), Bennett Huff (CFO), Sebastian Hazard (HR) and Chase Pao (Marketing), the team worked towards high profitability, all while enjoying strong support from teachers Mrs Marshall, Mrs Sapoungis and Ms Twyman.

Reflecting on a successful semester, the Brew in Blue team takes pride in their commitment, skill development and contribution to the Starlight Children’s Foundation. They have built a thriving coffee enterprise that fostered a sense of community while preparing them for future endeavours.

Coffee – Semester 2

Waking up early isn’t always easy. Whether it's a warm coffee on a chilly winter morning or a refreshing milkshake during the warmer months, Just Brew It made sure everyone had the perfect start to their day.

In Semester 2, our team of 38 boys ran the student-operated coffee stall every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday morning, serving drinks to students and staff alike. To ensure every cup met the highest standards, all team members underwent training, mastering the art of making milkshakes and honing their barista skills - some even perfecting latte art.

With Just Brew It in full swing, customers were never disappointed. Milkshakes were generously filled and coffees were served with heartshaped latte art. I lead the operation as CEO, together with Michael Dore (CFO) managing finances, Bowen Zhang (HR) overseeing the team, and Archer Davies (CMO) driving marketing efforts. Together, they focused on making the venture both profitable and enjoyable for all.

Beyond the profits, the real reward came from donating our earnings to the Cancer Council. The boys walked away with invaluable

teamwork skills and a deeper understanding of what it takes to run a real-world business.

This initiative wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated support of Mrs Marshall, Dr Da Silva and Mrs Sapoungis, whose guidance made Just Brew It both a successful and meaningful experience. A heartfelt thank you to them for helping bring this vision to life.

Ecoman

During Term 3, a group of Year 11 Economics students attended the Ecoman (Economic Management) program in the CBD. Using offices on Eagle Street, the twoday business simulation offered opportunities for us to expand upon our knowledge of economic concepts and principles in a different context.

Working alongside students from Brisbane Girls Grammar School, we operated coffee machine manufacturing businesses over a four-year period. We competed in five groups of five, all aiming for the highest share price by the completion of the program. We

were then tasked with presenting our results in an annual general meeting with shareholders, where we argued why our business deserved investment.

Every group comprised five directors: CEO, Finance Director, Sales Director, Production Director and Human Resources Director. They worked collaboratively to address the issues in each year of the simulation, working through upturns in the business cycle, peaks, downturns and troughs.

Working as the CEO, my team was able to identify approaches that harnessed advertising, research, development and paying down inherited debt, to win the game. Negotiations with unions proved to be a further opportunity for learning, requiring different skills again.

Speaking with teammates and other participants at the end of the program, it was obvious that we found the experience to be useful, and we enjoyed the opportunity to test our economic ideas in an external group setting with people we knew. I would highly recommend the program to any Economics student seeking a fun, occasionally challenging and uniquely rewarding activity.

Australian Business Week

Competition

It was wonderful to see our Year 11 students compete against BGGS in the Australian Business Week competition this year. Our budding CEOs, CFOs, COOs and Sales and Marketing enthusiasts took up the challenge of running a business that had been operational for two years in an online scenario. The teams battled it out to try and reach the highest share price by making quarterly financial and management decisions. Some teams found it challenging to continue to run at a profit and balance their debt levels whilst expanding and advertising their business. Overall, the students enjoyed the experience in collaborating to think strategically in the world of business and finance.

Share Market Game

This year, 410 students from Years 7-12, including Year 11 Economics students, participated in the 2024 Australian Securities Exchange’s (ASX) Schools Sharemarket Game. Students managed a virtual $50,000 portfolio, trading real-

time in 300+ ASX-listed companies while learning key concepts like diversification and market analysis. Year 9 student Zachy Yap excelled, finishing first in the school (13th nationally) with a portfolio worth $61,904.01, focusing on nuclear energy investments. Honourable mentions go to Year 11 students Yoshi Becker, Flynn McCormack, Hayden Scholes (second), and Nick Carroll (third). Congratulations to all participants for their efforts over the 10 weeks of trading.

Mrs Megan Marshall Head of Economics Enterprise Juniors (7-8)

The Enterprise Juniors, comprised of enthusiastic Year 7 and 8 students, embraced the exciting challenge of becoming young entrepreneurs. Their mission: to create their own “side hustle” to earn money while balancing school life. From imaginative product designs to clever services, these budding entrepreneurs have developed innovative business ideas. The culmination of their hard work was a Showcase in Term 4, where students and their families sampled and supported their creative ventures. The event highlighted the entrepreneurial spirit of these students, demonstrating that with ambition and creativity, success is always within reach. Special congratulations to Dylan Gordon who was selected from over 600 students to present his pitch for his idea, Present Pot, which crowdfunds for presents that children want to receive, rather than money, preventing resources from being wasted.

Music

2024 has been a year in which the young musicians of BGS have explored the world through their music. On campus, the myriad of concerts on offer have provided the boys with chances to not only showcase their incredible talents, but to learn about

the music of the world through the expert direction and tutorage of our dedicated Music staff. Of particular note were the Term 3 themed concerts - Screentime (music of the movies), Steam (with a focus on innovation and collaboration), and Latin Fiesta

(jazz). The Term 4 concerts featured our wonderful Year 12 cohort and their farewell performances, as did the Music Celebration dinner.

On a different note, our musicians took their music beyond School like never before. We hosted several string festivals which brought together the finest student musicians from around Southeast Queensland. We provided the largest contingent of students for the annual GPS Music Showcase which featured invaluable collaboration between all GPS schools. Grammar Community in Concert: Stories was again held at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music with our finest ensembles thoroughly entertaining the sold-out audience with music that told stories from around the world. Most significantly, BGS Music

undertook our fourth overseas concert tour when 80 students and staff presented 8 concerts throughout Spain and Portugal. It was an incredible experience for all concerned. The concert venues were magnificent, often in centuries-old cathedrals with amazing acoustics. The Concert Band, Choir, String Ensemble and Jazz Band delighted the huge audiences with their unique brand of music from Australia and beyond. Not only did they see some unique parts of the world, but they represented themselves, the School and the country, with pride and distinction.

BGS Theatre Season

Dramatic Productions

Once again, our 2024 BGS Dramatic Productions season showcased exciting and thought-provoking theatre which challenged our audiences to consider the mark we leave on the world.

Senior Dramatic Production

Romeo and Juliet adaptation by

In Term 2, not only did we celebrate the joining of the Montagues and Capulets, but also of the Brisbane Grammar School and Brisbane Girls Grammar School Drama departments. This year’s Senior Dramatic Co-Production, Romeo and Juliet, involved close to 100 BGS and BGGS students and was an ambitious and eclectic reimagining of William Shakespeare’s timeless classic. From reckless knife fights to innocent love, our Romeo and Juliet was an exploration of the importance of human connection.

Our adaptation presented the hope of a world where violence is not the answer because violence only begets violence. In doing so, we challenged our community to consider how we can shape a world through love. Presented through a youth perspective, Romeo and Juliet showed us that they (our students) want love to be the answer, but they need the adults in their lives to model that for them.

Junior Dramatic Production

The Scene ProjectFlowers in Antarctica

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 Wendy Mocke’s Flowers in Antarctica. Students had the opportunity to present their 15-minute performance to four other schools at Queensland Theatre and also had a viewing in the Centenary Hall for family and friends.

“Young People are living in a time of social activism; we often underestimate their ability to respond and think critically.”
- Wendy Mocke

Middle School Dramatic Production

An Unlikely Invitation is an original production written by Patrick Last,

In Term 4, our Middle School students (Years 5-8) presented their very own murder mystery in the BGS Theatre. Conceptualised and written by Grammar’s own Mr Patrick Last, Jeffrey Lewis and Bella MacDiarmid, An Unlikely

Invitation follows a young writer as he attempts to finish a short story assignment due the following day. This engaging comedy took inspiration from classic murder mysteries and from some of literature’s greatest characters. The

Reviews Throughout the Theatre Season:

“Incredible. So many feels.”

“The whole experience felt fresh and alive while still honouring the original text.”

“Absolutely blown away by the talent.”

“The acting was superb, the staging and choreography were ingenious, the lighting exquisite and the whole experience felt fresh and alive”

production challenged audiences to consider how we can develop resilience in creative opportunities and overcome self-doubt.

Jeffrey Lewis and Bella MacDiarmid

Visual Art

It has been a rewarding year settling into the STEAM Precinct, and we have created some wonderful learning and display spaces.

Over 1,200 students have created artworks in our new Art classrooms this year and we have been delighted with the creative thinking evident in the

wonderful range of drawings, paintings, sculptures, printmaking, moving image, installation and photographic artworks. Growth in our Year 5 cohort created the opportunity for a new ceramics project and students have loved making their Lighthouse Habitats. Students worked with visiting artists, Amanda Stuart and Jane du Rand, to create sculptural lamps that depict endangered Australian animals and their vulnerable habitats.

Our Year 11 and 12 students proudly exhibited their work for the BGS community in the Great Hall in Term 3, where Spencer Tomlin and Lachie Elliott spoke eloquently about their creative process at the open evening. As a department, we have continued to focus on how Art contributes to transferable learning within STEAM as researchers are telling us that

being able to think creatively is more important than ever before. In a series of Teaching Exchanges, we shared with other staff how spending time in ‘flow state’ plays a vital role in maintaining wellbeing as you paint, carve or draw.

Our BGS Art Show broke all records again this year for sales and attendance, and we are grateful to our Art Support Group for funding our diverse Artist in Residence program, purchasing specialist equipment to make our ceramics program and our after-school clubs environmentally sustainable. Our silversmithing and painting masterclass continue to be very popular.

Our students are very grateful for the inspiration and care provided by all of our Art teachers and teacher aides.

Basketball

The 2024 GPS Basketball season was enjoyable and successful for Brisbane Grammar School.

With over 740 boys registering to play basketball this year, it’s wonderful to see the continued growth and popularity of the game. Equally, it was fantastic to see such strong results across the age groups, with BGS winning 143 out of the 257 games played and a 56% winning percentage - a statistic that the whole BGS Basketball community can be proud of.

It is important to give special mention to Mr Jones’ Fourth V who went undefeated for the third year in a row. Both the Year 9 and senior teams performed strongly,

winning 66% and 77% of all games, respectively. Additionally, the Thirds won 5 games, and the Seconds won 6 games, achieving third place on the GPS ladder which was an outstanding achievement. The senior class of 2024 leaves BGS Basketball full of confidence that all age groups are in a strong position to continue improving over the coming years.

Our First V also had an extraordinary season, achieving a record of seven and one, finishing the season on a seven-game winning streak. This was a historic achievement as no First V team in Grammar’s history has ever accomplished such a record. This

success is a testament to the hard work and dedication of countless individuals who have contributed to the growth of BGS Basketball over many years, including all staff on campus, coaching staff and the 271 students who have worn a First V jersey since the launch in 1990. The graduating seniors are excited to see BGS go one better and win a maiden GPS premiership.

The challenge for BGS Basketball is now to set the goal of going from ‘great to great’.

Chess

The BGS GPS Chess squad for 2024 saw great success, providing a stable foundation for future seasons while also giving all teams the opportunity to contest for premierships and podium finishes.

Our 2024 Premier Chess Team—with full Middle School representation—managed to overcome a difficult Round 1 loss to Churchie with an undefeated record, securing second place. This is a great result, and with a team so young we are confident they can build on this result and hopefully secure a premiership in the coming seasons.

Following the Round 1 Churchie fixture and bye, Chess recorded only one loss across all teams from

76 fixtures, highlighting a highly successful season. The Round 3 clash with Terrace was the most notable with 36 from 36 games won. The round against Brisbane State High was also memorable as 11 teams from 12 won against highly competitive opponents. Our Senior Team has led positively this season, winning every game to secure their Premiership.

Congratulations to all our other Premiership-winning teams including the Open B, C, D, F, G and H teams.

As well as competing in the GPS competition, BGS also took part in the Inter-School Chess Competition. Both our Primary and Secondary teams made it to the State Finals

which took place in Term 4.

I’d like to extend my thanks on behalf of the Chess program to Directors Mr Taylor and Mr Herne, as well as coaches Jack Rodgers, Dusan Stojic, Nadula Tennakoon, Tony Zhong and Jason Chan for providing valuable training to our teams.

We would also like to thank Mr Kenny for his leadership of the Primary Chess Squad, and to Mr Brunckhorst and Miss Padgham for their help with the GPS season.

Cricket

BGS Cricket enjoyed another successful season with over 420 boys participating across 34 teams. We enjoyed a winning percentage of over 55% and what was especially pleasing was that over 2/3 of our GPS teams finished in the top three of their respective divisions. Other highlights included seven five-wicket hauls, three hattricks, as well as a century and five batting partnerships in-excess of 100 runs. Additionally, we had two centuries scored in pre-season trial matches.

Congratulations to teams 8C and 10C who maintained an undefeated record, finishing as competition leaders. Joining them at the top of

their GPS divisions were the 6C, 7E, 9D and 11C. The Third XI, 5A, 6A, 6B, 7B, 7C, 7D, 9B, 9C, and 11B teams all saw podium placings. Well done to

Cross Country

The GPS Cross Country Championships are typically held under warm, dry conditions. By late morning, when the Opens race is held, many runners collapse across the finish line dehydrated and overheating. This year, conditions were wet and slippery with many boys experiencing multiple falls on fast, muddy descents. It made for a fascinating day of racing.

We started the day brilliantly with our 10 to 12-year-olds coming second overall in the Junior Championships. Our 13 years runners kicked off our Senior

Championships campaign with a dominant win in their race. Five BGS runners finished in the top 10. We had some great results in the older age groups with several BGS boys finishing in the top five for their respective races.

These results were the culmination of months of training. Many boys rolled straight out of middle-distance training in Term 4 to attend Cross Country sessions over the Christmas Holidays. Five months of early morning starts, gruelling hill sessions and tough Friday afternoon meets meant that

boys were well prepared and race hardened come race day on May 16. Many thanks must go to the coaching staff and to every parent who supported the program. With some incredible talent in our younger year groups, the future of BGS Cross Country is looking bright.

Debating

Debating in 2024 has continued its long history of success, affirming itself as a popular asset of the vast cocurricular offerings at BGS. 2024 saw more than 215 students, from Years 5 to 12, engage in Debating, and each boy has benefitted from the chance to sharpen their public speaking and argumentative skills across all school terms in both GPS and Queensland Debating Union (QDU) competitions.

The skill and commitment displayed by all debaters in the 2023-2024 trialling process,

alongside the valuable feedback provided by coaches, gave us all a head start (and a boost of confidence) as the 2024 season approached.

That confidence and preparation paid dividends. In GPS, 17 out of 20 teams ended up on the podium, a remarkable achievement, with eight of those teams coming home as competition leaders. Amongst those eight was the Senior A team who secured the GPS premiership with a nearly undefeated run.

In QDU, 11 out of 14 teams made it

through to elimination rounds, with five making it to the quarterfinals. Despite these great performances, a sweep of unlucky rounds against strong opposition saw many teams unable to progress further. Yet, Team 10.1 made it to the Grand Final and finished runner-up for the Brisbane Year 10 competition. None of this success would be possible without the tireless work of coaches, staff, and especially our Director, Miss Schottlaender. It’s clear that BGS Debating has benefited immensely from

Miss Schottlaender’s leadership and experience. Guiding a year-long program to such success is no small feat.

BGS Debating is something special, and it’s shaped my time at School. There are very few activities available that will change and benefit you as much as debating, that alter the way you think and approach issues, writing, speaking, communication, and so much more. I’ve reaped its rewards time and time again, and I will continue to, as will every boy who engages in the program’s uplifting culture, comradery, long history, and future of success.

Fencing

The 2024 Fencing season had a slower start with pre-season training during Term 1, followed by the holiday camp, running exercises, drills and games for the both the new and returning fencers. This gave the newer fencers experience in holding a weapon, while those returning were given the opportunity to refine and sharpen their skills before the upcoming season.

Just after camp, the inaugural Musketeers Invitational gave fencers from Townsville, Brisbane State High School, All Hallows’, and other local clubs, experience at an individual format competition. Congratulations to all fencers who competed on the day. Many thanks to the Musketeers

for hosting this event and creating yet another opportunity for our fencers.

BGS Fencing further cemented its astounding success, not only by maintaining the top steps of the podium, but by also retaining the Queensland Fencing Association’s Brisbane School Teams Championship. The outstanding efforts of the flagship teams combined with the collective strength and determination of our largest-ever fencing community to bring the school team’s cup home. BGS won the overall competition, dominating against BGGS (second), and State High (third). However, this success could not have been achieved by a single team, but

rather the contribution of just over 240 fencers.

I would like to thank the entire community - from the Musketeers who ran the canteen every weekend, to the boys in the armoury who were responsible for getting all fencers kitted up each week. On behalf of the 2024 Fencing cohort, I thank Ms Melanie Chin and Mr Jim Hill for their unwavering leadership and support of our program.

With the program’s growth and continued success, I have no doubt BGS Fencing will continue to flourish.

It has been an honour to be the Middle School representative for BGS Fencing this season. Fencing is a highly engaging sport with three separate weapons, which requires fitness and agility. The sport is very exciting and satisfying to

score points and to win alongside teammates. Another aspect of BGS Fencing is the welcoming and inclusive community. Every boy who wants to fence can, and the coaches are always helpful and supportive.

In Years 5 and 6, the boys try

each of the weapons to decide which one they will continue with in later years. These boys compete in fixtures in the Indoor Sports Centre while Years 7 and 8 compete at the school’s competition by Queensland Fencing Association out at Yeronga.

This season, a total of 83 Middle School boys fenced in the Brisbane schools’ competition across ten teams and three weapons, with excellent results. All teams did very well and almost everyone finished on the podium making this a very successful season. It was great to see all the boys at training and eager to learn new techniques with each other.

I have really enjoyed improving my skills over the past two seasons, as well as helping others get better in general. I hope that the 2025 fencing season is just as successful if not better and I would highly recommend fencing to anyone at all.

Football

Football was hugely successful this year with over 700 students participating and 500 attending the two-day holiday clinic at Northgate.

The round one home game against Anglican Church Grammar School did not disappoint. The grandstand was packed with 343

passionate supporters and the field was full of incredible displays, resulting in BGS winning the day overall.

224 games were played in the official GPS competition. Of those 224, 136 were recorded as wins, 26 draws and 62 losses. An impressive 735 goals were scored—over 100 goals more than last year—and only 425 conceded.

Proudly, we have provided 89 supplementary games this season, showing that participation in football across our school has grown and opportunities within our D, E, F & G teams are stronger and more competitive than ever.

This year we won seven out of eight rounds in the GPS competition, only losing to Nudgee.

Notable team performances and competition leaders include the Third XI, Fourth XI, 5A, 7B, 7D, 9D, 10B and 10C, with undefeated seasons for 7B, 9D, and 10C.

Our First XI enjoyed a hugely successful season which, like last year, started with a pre-season trip to the tournament hosted by TSS. This proved invaluable for team building and allowed the boys to apply the tactics from the coaches. Mr Mckay and Mr Alizart guided the boys diligently. Overall, the GPS season saw the First XI finish fourth.

Our football program continues to receive fantastic support from the Wembley Club. All funds raised go back towards the boys and program. Thank you to new President, Ms Jackie Trad and

outgoing Vice President, Janine Griffiths. Thank you for your unwavering support of our boys, we are immensely grateful. To all outgoing Wembley club members, thank you.

Thank you also to Don Myles and the team at Northgate for keeping the best grounds in Brisbane.

Gymnastics

2024 was a highly successful year for the BGS Gymnastics program. All the boys put a tremendous amount of effort into each training session throughout the season. The GPS Foundation Cup, held on June 1, saw Brisbane Grammar School secure the championship for the 14th year straight. BGS won all three divisions and had individual winners in each division.

I would like to thank all coaches on behalf of the boys within the program. More closely, Mr Jack Coates and Mr Curtis Hooper have put an endless amount of their time

into the program to ensure each competition can run smoothly, and the boys enjoy themselves. I extend my gratitude to all the coaches involved with making the annual Foundation Cup possible.

Earlier in the year, it was an honour to attend the Australian Championships alongside four other BGS gymnasts. The following boys participated in the event which took place at the Gold Coast during May: Sebastian Ashby-Cliffe, Christian Waterhouse, Caden Williams and Justin Wu.

2024 proved to be another

successful year for the Brisbane Grammar School gymnastics program, and I am so honoured to be a part of such an amazing team. Thank you to the MAGS group who have supported everyone throughout the season, and I thank everyone who was involved in the program this year.

Rowing

Rowing saw exceptional results this season, achieving third in the Old Boys’ Cup - the School’s first podium finish in overall points since 2009. These results were a credit to the dedication and passion of the coaching staff but also a reflection of pure effort from all the boys. The rowing experience is a unique opportunity that pushes boys beyond their perceived limits, both mentally and physically. Success in the sport necessitates supreme focus, comradery and commitment, leaving a lasting impact upon the boys’ approach to everyday life. The season saw friendships strengthen and provided the opportunity for inter-grade mateship, with much

of the senior cohort developing as mentors for younger athletes.

Years 11 and 12 were afforded exciting travel experiences, crossing the Tasman in December to compete in the New Zealand South Island Championships and training alongside Christ College. Years 10, 11 and 12 boats also went to Nationals in Penrith, allowing us to compete against the best schoolboys in the country and providing invaluable insights into what our future with rowing could look like.

The foundations of Rowing are stronger than ever, with exceptional performances across all divisions from our Years 8 and 9 oarsmen. More importantly, the culture

within the shed was positive and team centric, with all boys willing to go the extra mile to support a mate. The program has offered us departing Year 12s unmatched value as a Grammar experience. As I told my peers in my end-of-season address, no one has ever left rowing saying that they wish they put in less effort. The program will truly give back as much as you are willing to commit to it.

Rugby

The 2024 Rugby season has seen vast improvements in both participation and results. There was a total of 350 Rugby players across the 17 teams who took the field this year.

Rugby kicked off in Term 1 with preparation for the Ballymore Cup for our Open and Under 15 squads. The Ballymore Cup proved an

enormous success with the Opens finishing an admirable third and the Under 15s finishing seventh.

During Term 1, 15 current students undertook the Referee Education workshop by Queensland Rugby Referee Association. Level 1 and Level 2 coaching courses were also conducted earlier this year to improve coaching practices.

The following players received higher honours:

• Under 12 Met North: Digby Gray and Lachie Neilson

• Under 15 Capricornia and Reds Under 15 Squad: Ralph Labor

• Under 18 Met North: Tristian Knudsen, Xander Bourke and Lincoln Manual

• Emerging Reds Cup, Under 16: Lincoln Dalton and Dyer Akauloa

• Brisbane Junior Rugby Union Under 14s: Tom Rollason

• Brisbane Junior Rugby Union Under 14s and Queensland U14: Ollie Tart

• Emerging Reds Cup U14Queensland U14’s: Edward Mullholand

• Emerging Reds Cup U14: Sidney Myers

By Round 6, BGS had won more games than the entire previous season.

Our Under 11s demonstrated tenacity and improved skills throughout the year. The Under 12s

continued where they left off, with the Under 12As finishing second. Under 13 numbers grew from one to two teams this year, improving every game. Under 14s showed plenty of promise as a team that will continue to develop and uphold the standards of BGS Rugby. Under 15s experienced some great wins. Under 16s showed great commitment throughout the season. The Third and Fourth XV proved to be the

heartbeat of the Open’s program. The Second XV vastly improved as a team and had many close games. The First XV epitomised the values of our Rugby program, and you can look back on their year with pride. Finally, to the Normanby Blues, thank you for the wonderful support.

Sailing

Brisbane Grammar School has again demonstrated its prowess on the water, achieving remarkable success in recent competitions. The dedication and skill of the BGS sailors have not only brought pride to the school, but have also highlighted the depth of the program.

In the Fleet Racing Championship, George Lee, Orlando Dunn-Mura and their crew showcased their sailing abilities by securing an impressive third place in Queensland. This outstanding performance was complemented by nine other BGS sailors who finished in the top 20, underscoring the team’s collective talent and determination.

The South Queensland Schools Team Racing Championship further highlighted the excellence of BGS Sailing. BGS 1, led by talented skippers Andrew Zhuang, George

Lee and Nick Howarth achieved a commendable third place overall. Their notable race wins against teams that eventually won the competition speak volumes about their competitive spirit and strategic acumen.

BGS 2, under the leadership of Sailing Captain Will Ewart, along

with Kody Goss and Jollie Window, secured a respectable sixth place in the competition. Their performance was a testament to their hard work and dedication.

BGS 3, led by the promising young sailors Sam Rutter and Ethan Ai, achieved an impressive eighth place. Despite being a relatively

A

young team, their performance was nothing short of remarkable, showcasing their potential for future success.

Our Sailing achievements last season reflect the commitment and effort put in by all competitors. Each sailor sought to do their best and found significant improvement over the course of the season. The program continues to foster a culture of excellence, teamwork and sportsmanship, setting a high standard for future competitions.

There has been significant investment in the program with some new boats and a fresh leadership team and we look forward to reporting on its continued success in the future.

Swimming

The 2024 swimming season was eagerly awaited. Following a disappointing seven-point loss in 2023, the team regathered and emerged stronger for the 2024 season. Months of preparation, fuelled by the desire for redemption, enabled us to emerge victorious. As a result, we became the most dominant team in the School’s recent history and set the stage for a bright future.

Showing utmost dedication to the sport is essential for success in the GPS landscape, with consistent and unwavering resilience proving to be the thread connecting past and present GPS winners. This was our goal in 2024.

The Junior GPS Championship team secured fourth place, promising a bright future with an abundance of talent ready

for success on the senior stage. All Grammar boys exceeded expectations, securing six individual wins and one relay win.

The Senior GPS Championships saw 313 BGS spectators filling the stands and a record number of total spectators. From the first event, BGS took the lead, showcasing Grammar’s strength across all age groups. Our speed was unmatched, securing 17 victories and winning every age group.

As we approached the relays we held a lead, but a disqualification nearly jeopardised our results. Head Coach, Bobby Jovanovich reminded each team member of their goal, and the sacrifices made to achieve it. BGS went on to win five relays and secured top three positions in nine out of 10 relays, including the 16 and under 4 x 50m Medley team setting a new GPS record.

Overall, with a 44-point victory, BGS came first with 341 points. Nudgee College second with 297 points, and Gregory Terrace third with 218 points, a result forever etched into the history books. I wish the best to the BGS swimming team of 2025 and hope to continue witnessing BGS dominance in the future.

Tennis

BGS Tennis enjoyed a season filled with success across all age groups. It was the most successful overall tennis program in the GPS competition, winning an overwhelming 94% of team matchups throughout the season.

The First IV were undefeated, although two rained out matches resulted in a second-place finish in the GPS Premiership. Adam James was named Captain of Tennis and Conor Fitzpatrick was the Vice Captain. The Open School Championships Singles winner was Lucas Han, and the runner-up was Adam James. The First IV lineup consisted of Lucas Han, Adam James, Samarth Patel, Caspian Tuckwell, Angus Bale and Angus Cook.

We would like to give a special thank you to the staff that helped

make the GPS season possible by organising the players and making sure match days ran on time: Mr Oscar Tan (Opens and Year 11) and Mr Jeff Price (Opens); Miss Amanda Hart (Year 11); Miss Steph Fancutt (Years 9 and 10) and Miss Jo Duby (Year 10); Miss Sophie Lusk (Year 9); Mr James Struthers (Year 8); Mr Hamish Benson (Year 7); Mr Isaac Smyth and Miss Toni Kirton (Years 5 and 6).

Running BGS Tennis all year round would not be possible without the help of the Wimbledon Club.

The Wimbledon Club consists of parents who volunteer every week during the GPS season and throughout the Tennis season.

Thank you to Michael James (President); Maryam Jarahi (Treasurer); Margie Bale (Secretary);

Lo-An Vu (Opens); Jennie Beikoff (Year 11); Denise Alphonso (Year 10); Cathy Findlay (Year 9); Jonathan and Rhea Moore (Year 8); Lachlan Schmidt (Year 7); Tina Ha (Year 6); and Di Lorisch (Year 5).

Thank you to all the parents that sacrifice their weekends and early mornings for matches and training sessions. The BGS Tennis coaching staff are incredibly thankful to all who contribute to making a successful tennis program. We were delighted to see the high levels of sportsmanship, competitiveness, and teamwork that were displayed throughout the 2024 season.

Track and Field

The 2024 GPS Track and Field season was an enjoyable and successful one for Brisbane Grammar School. With over 120 boys registering for Track and Field this year, it is amazing to start building the new culture with a new Athletics Director and new young students. Additionally, it was great to see the results for all age groups at the GPS championships.

On Friday 18 October, the junior team started strong and fought an amazing battle. They led early in the day and were holding first position right to the end. With an unfortunate end to some events, they just missed out and placed second by only 4 points. The

boys showed amazing grit and determination right to the end and deserved the win - they should be so proud of their efforts.

The senior team had a tough day at the office with some of our athletes unable to compete on the day due to injury or sickness. They put an amazing effort together, placing seventh overall. We are excited to see what the team can do next year with our new coaches involved and a complete, strong and healthy team.

Some highlights to be pointed out were Patrick Reid breaking the GPS record in the 10 Years 1500m; Leo Di Losa breaking the 100m BGS school record; Dylan Reid breaking

the 800m BGS school record, and William Creighton breaking the 200m BGS record.

It is important to give special mention to our amazing staff who have put in an amazing effort over the season, waking up early in the mornings and their efforts Friday evenings for the meets. We were very lucky this year to have such great coaches coming on board with two Olympians, Michael Hillardt and Rajeev Balakrishnan, plus Olympic coaches Sharon Dale and Howard Mcdonald.

Volleyball

The 2024 Volleyball season was one of many firsts. From the start of our pre-season, our community was determined to deliver the BGS Volleyball vision; getting BGS recognised as the leading volleyball school in the GPS competition.

In 2024, The Volleyblues became our first official parent support group, helping every weekend with the canteen, coffee machine and BBQ. We were the first program to wear the School’s new competition uniforms; embrace the new format of the Kerridge Cup, which demonstrated connectedness across our program; and of course,

witness the appointment of Mr Matt Young as our new Head Coach. Matt made an immediate and longlasting impact on the volleyball community.

BGS Volleyball recorded remarkable success this season, with 15 podium finishes and five teams finishing as competition leaders. BGS won 70% of all games. This success can be attributed to a refreshed pre-season schedule, with new initiatives and masterclasses from some of the best coaches and players in Queensland. Ms Angel Scanlon, Mr Vivin Mathew, Mr Jack Halley and Mr Max Senica equipped

our players with technical and mental skills, as well as an in-depth look at volleyball IQ. The Australian Volleyball Schools Cup was a major contributor to our success this season, with BGS entering a record seven teams.

Impressively, several BGS players made representative sides. Will Greene was selected in the Volleyball Australia National Development Tour to Thailand; Sione Veamatahau made the U18 Australian team for the Asian Volleyball Championships in Bahrain; and Johnny James toured Japan as part of the U18 Australian team.

A personal highlight was the annual Kerridge Cup. The community embraced the new format, which made the round even more special. New teams were created, blending senior and junior players who competed in a round robin – a throwback to the original Blue League Volleyball. Our 12s and 5s, 11s and 6s, 10s, 7s, 9s and 8s showed the importance of balancing competitiveness and fun. The bond across all year groups created everlasting memories. The event culminated in the First VI achieving a 2-1 win over the Old Boys VI in an amazing spectacle.

I extend my gratitude to Volleyball Director Rhys Cox, Head Coach Matt Young, and all staff, coaches and parents. Congratulations to all the boys on another successful season.
