Form I Dinner
The Form I dinner was held on Saturday 28 July and was very well attended by parents and Form I Tutors. Thank you to the host for the evening, Master of the Lower School, Mr Rollo Hesketh, in welcoming the parents. Thank you also to the parent helpers, Jasjit Baveja, Kris Jones and the parent photographer for the evening, Andrew Vitalis. Leah De Silva and all the staff at Nick's Bar and Grill did a wonderful job on the evening! Finally, a huge thank you to Jenny Booth for organising the evening. To view photos, click here.
Buy a Bale - Drought Relief Fund
On Saturday 4 August, Grammar hosted The Armidale School at Weigall. To support our extended rural community, it was decided that all proceeds raised on the day would be donated to the 'Buy a Bale' initiative in support of our farmers. Thank you to all the parents who assisted with the Weigall Canteen and to all the boys and their families who donated baked goods, their time, made purchases or donated money.
The SGSWA donated all $2,597 takings from the day. We would like to extend a thank you to Mr Lachlan Fear for coordinating the day.
Further donations may be made here.
Parents wanted for the Weigall Canteen and BBQ on Back to Weigall Day
On Saturday 18 August, JDS, LAH, GDL Houses and some Form I Tutorials will be attending Weigall to watch our First and Second rugby and football teams play. It is the perfect opportunity to spend an hour in the warmth of the Canteen or on the BBQ, working with other Grammar parents. We would love your support. Please drop in and help out and/or bring along some baked goods to sell (you don't have to bring home-baked goods).
The SGSWA run the Canteen at Weigall. Please add your name to the volunteer rosters (click here)
