The Old Guildfordians Association

Our Brisbane reunion was a fantastic evening.

We shared memories and stories of the past and present, ending the evening with new friends and connections.

Thank you to those that came along.

Happening tonight in West End Brisbane!
Beautiful day for a reunion, looking forward to seeing our Old Guildfordians tonight at The Boundary Hotel ☀

From the Swan to the desert, Old Guildfordian Claire (Harper, 2023) is making her mark in desert bike racing.

Claire has competed in some of Australia’s toughest desert races, with an impressive list of achievements since finishing at Guildford Grammar School:

• 5th in her division at the 2026 Finke Desert Race, having also completed the race in 2025
• Competing in the Kalgoorlie Desert Race in 2024 and again in 2026
• Competing in the GasDash Race in 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026
• 3rd place at the 2025 Don River Dash in Bowen, Queensland

It is fantastic to see Claire continuing to challenge herself and take on some of the most demanding off-road races in the country.

And despite travelling far from the banks of the Swan, Claire still keeps a little piece of Guildford Grammar close. She wears her GGS necklace for good luck and takes her GGS sports bag along to her races.

Congratulations, Claire, on your incredible achievements. We are proud to see our Old Guildfordians continuing to pursue their passions and take on new challenges long after their time at GGS.

Our latest Everyday Excellence event was another fantastic evening of great conversation, plenty of laughs and some seriously inspiring stories from our panel.

A huge thank you to our wonderful panellists for sharing their experiences, insights and advice so generously — and to Shaw and Partners and Stuart Lamont for hosting us and making the evening such a success.

Everyday Excellence is quickly becoming a sought-after event in the Old Guildfordians calendar, and we’re enjoying continuing to tweak and shape the format to make sure it delivers what our community wants.

One of the biggest takeaways from the evening was the enthusiasm and positive feedback around the Old Guildfordians Mentoring Program, which we’re hoping to get up and running very soon. There’s clearly a real appetite within our community to connect, share knowledge and support the next generation of Old Guildfordians.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a great night. We’ll see you at the next one! 💙

We welcomed supporters of our 2026 Annual Appeal to Guildford Grammar for a special thank you event.

Guests joined our students and staff for a regular morning Chapel service, before gathering for morning tea, sharing in the prayers, hymns and traditions that continue to be part of life at Guildford Grammar.

Thank you to everyone who donated to this year’s Annual Appeal in support of our Scholarship and Chapel Funds. Your generosity will help provide opportunities for students and support the ongoing care of our Chapel for generations to come.
