• “Light Dark Blue : 150 years of learning and leadership at Brisbane Grammar School explores and celebrates the school’s distinctive place in Queensland’s education landscape, and considers the effects of political, social and economic change during its 150 years. Drawing on personal stories and extensive scholarly research, this book describes the leadership provided by headmasters, staff and trustees, and students’ learning experiences in every era, as well as the unique grammar school system they all knew. The story charts the school’s quest for academic excellence, educational innovation, the influence of the state scholarship system, boarding, financial challenges, and every aspect of school culture from loyal wartime service to diverse offerings in sport and the arts. With a foreword by former student David Malouf AO, and enlivened by anecdotes and hundreds of illustrations, Light dark blue will reward those who wish to dip into the school’s history, as well as readers determined to delve more deeply.”
