Mrs Dunwoody reflects on the significance of the creative arts and last week’s Junior School Art Show.
Before the performances of The Little Mermaid on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of August, the PFA hosted pre-show refreshments that perfectly complimented the theme of the musical. Guests were treated to various beverages, including a creatively named “Sea Water” mocktail. The food offerings featured an array of mini cupcakes and cookies, all lovingly baked by the PFA. These treats were made even more special with toppers displaying illustrations designed by students, which were originally created for the marketing of the show. The thoughtful details and delicious offerings set a festive tone for the evenings, making the pre-show experience as memorable as the performances.
On Friday 9 August, the Junior School Hall was buzzing with excitement as 108 students from Foundation to Year 6 gathered for a highly anticipated school disco. The event was Taylor Swift-inspired, with the DJ spinning her most popular hits throughout the evening. Four dedicated parent volunteers added an extra splash of fun by offering face painting. We’d also like to thank our dedicated parent volunteers for assisting with set up, registration and pack up – an event like this can’t run without parent support. The night’s highlight was dancing with Mr D, who kept the energy levels high until the end. The disco concluded with students enjoying a refreshing Zooper Dooper, leaving everyone with smiles and wonderful memories.
On the evening of Thursday, August 8, 87 Year 10-12 students joined 10 CGGS Inspiring Women and Old Grammarians for a career and workforce discussion. The 2024 School Captains, Emily, Sara, and Jessica organised a panel discussion with CGGS alumni and round table discussions with students. The industries represented included Law, Health/Medicine/Nursing, Defence, Media & Journalism, and Sport, among others. The guest speakers shared valuable information about career paths, challenges, and tips. This was a truly successful event, and the School Captains showed exceptional leadership with this initiative and running the event. Thanks to the School Captains, students and our wonderfully generous guest speakers.
