13.01.2022 We can hardly believe it has been fifty years since the classes of 1970 and 1971 finished their Firbank learning journey. As with all our past students, these w...omen have remained a strong part of our community throughout the years and it was wonderful to have the opportunity to celebrate face-to-face and remember old times. #KnowValueCare #AspirationalCultureOfLearning #2021YearOfLivingCuriously #EvidencedBasedQualityTeachingPractices #PositiveClassroomCulture #FirbankGrammarSchool #50YearReunion

13.01.2022 Grade 1 girls at Essendon Airport in 1959. This photo was published on the front of The Age the following day with the caption "Schoolgirls Study Aviation".

12.01.2022 One of our older old girls in the news. Helen Lamont (Eastwood) from the Class of 1934 looking fabulous!

11.01.2022 One of the most precious parts of Firbank Grammar is the strong sense of belonging, once you become a student here you are always part of the community. It’s be...en 40 years and the class of 1980 and 1981 are still coming together as a family. It was wonderful to see everyone reminisce about their student days and update each other about events in their life. We look forward to seeing everyone again at your next reunion. #KnowValueCare #AspirationalCultureOfLearning #2021YearOfLivingCuriously #EvidencedBasedQualityTeachingPractices #PositiveClassroomCulture #FirbankGrammarSchool #ClassOf1980 #ClassOf1981 #40YearReunion

The students from our Brighton Junior campus painted... poppies while others created sewn felt poppies. The significance of Anzac Day is discussed with our students and they are encouraged to embrace the ANZAC spirit and show respect for past and current members of the ANZACs and the Australian Defence Force.
