Grimwade House’s year got off to a wonderful start with the Primate of Australia and Archbishop of Melbourne, The Most Rev’d Dr Philip Freier leading a special whole-school assembly and Chapel Service in the Alfred Felton Hall.
The Bishop responsible for Anglican schools, The Right Rev’d Lindsay Urwin accompanied the Archbishop, together with Melbourne Grammar’s three Chaplains, Rev’d Bill Peacock (Grimwade House), Rev’d Malcolm Woolrich (Wadhurst) and Rev’d Hans Christiansen (Senior Chaplain).
The Chapel Service included prayers of thanksgiving for the life of the School and the lighting of three candles. The President of The Old Melburnians, Mr Andrew Maughan, lit the first candle in recognition of Grimwade House’s past. The Headmaster Mr Roy Kelley, representing Grimwade House today, lit the second candle, and the youngest student in the School, Leah, lit the third candle to celebrate Grimwade House’s future.
At the end of the service, Archbishop Freier blessed the Centenary badges, which were then distributed to students and staff to wear proudly throughout 2018.
