A beautiful story! Teacher Ms Jacqueline Colwill (Creative Arts) recently shared her mother's story as a young war bride to illustrate Australia's migrant history. This speech was this year's Australia Day Address.

A beautiful illustration of our diverse social history, teacher Ms J Colwill’s Australia Day address to the School shared her moving story of a young war bride from England who gave up everything to follow her heart to Australia.

Despite recent weather, Brisbane Girls Grammar School will be open, as planned, on Tuesday 29 January for the start of Term I, 2013.

We understand some families and staff members may not be able to travel safely to and from the School tomorrow and as such we urge them to put their well-being first and remain at home.

Thank you.
Yours sincerely
