Melbourne Grammar School

Melbourne Grammar School Melbourne Grammar School is one of Australia’s leading independent schools. Melbourne Grammar School comprises three campuses.

Since 1858, Melbourne Grammar School has been providing an outstanding education in the heart of Melbourne. From the moment students step on campus at Melbourne Grammar School, they join a learning community, where our staff, students and their families work together to learn and grow. Our focus on academic achievement is reflected in our students’ outstanding results, while our commitment to deve

loping the ’whole person’ is reflected in our strong pastoral care and co-curricular activities. Grimwade House is our coeducational junior school in Caulfield, catering to boys and girls from Prep to Year 6. Wadhurst, our dedicated middle school for boys in Years 7 and 8, and Senior School, for boys from Years 9 to 12, are both located in South Yarra, close to the CBD and overlooking Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens. Our school has a proud tradition of academic excellence, and our students are supported and encouraged to work hard and achieve their potential. Our teachers are experienced and dedicated, working closely with students to provide a supportive and well-resourced learning environment. Our aim is to provide a well-rounded education that develops student’s physical, emotional, psychological, social and spiritual growth. Across the school, the educational experience guides students to become productive, responsible and caring citizens of the future. At each campus, students are encouraged to build their leadership skills through engaging personal development activities. Students take part in a diverse range of co-curricular and extracurricular activities that engage their passions and allow them to develop strong relationships with their peers, coaches and staff. Boarding is available for boys from Years 7 to 12. Our boarders enter a caring, supportive environment where dedicated staff, a structured schedule and purpose-built accommodation create a welcoming home away from home.

Book Week at Grimwade House brought stories to life, with students and staff dressing up as favourite book characters and taking part in our parade. The week highlights the role stories play in developing curious and confident learners.

For Royce Helm, Head of Grimwade House, Book Week is also an opportunity to reinforce the importance of reading. “I cannot think of anything they will do in life that does not involve reading. It is one of the most important skills we can develop, and one we should never take for granted.”

Emeritus Professor Dr Hamish McCallum (OM 1974) has spent much of his career using mathematical tools to understand the relationships between wildlife, disease and the environment.

Through his study of Tasmanian Devil Facial Tumour Disease and other infectious conditions affecting wildlife, Hamish’s work has contributed to our understanding of how these diseases spread and how the species respond to them.

Last week, our community came together for the annual Having a Yarn Breakfast in support of NAIDOC Week.

Following a Smoking Ceremony led by Jason Tamiru, we were honoured to hear from former AFL champion Eddie Betts, who shared his story and encouraged our students to make the most of the education available to them.

The Breakfast is an opportunity to recognise the histories, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, while learning and reflecting together.

It was a privilege to welcome Melbourne Football Club star and Old Melburnian Ed Langdon (OM 2014) back to the School last week to lead a training session with our Year 9A footballers.

After the training, Ed was presented with one of our new 1st XVIII guernseys, listing every player to have represented the School in the 1st XVIII.

The session gave our students the chance to learn from Ed’s experience, while reinforcing the strong connection between our current players and those who have come before them.

Today, our Prep students celebrated 100 Days of Prep at Grimwade House.

To mark the milestone, students dressed as 100 year olds before proudly parading their costumes for their Year 6 buddies, who cheered them on every step of the way. Our teachers also joined in the fun by dressing as students.

It’s been wonderful to see how much our youngest learners have grown in their first 100 days of school, and we look forward to all that’s still to come.
