From the Director of Development

THANK YOU to all those in our community who have supported our current and future students to date, via this year’s Annual Giving Appeal.

When calling donors to thank them, I have been struck by the goodwill and loyalty expressed towards the School. It is palpable. Some have been quietly supporting for decades, year in, year out. Others more recently. Their kindness and generous-spirit is greatly appreciated.

Members of our community will be aware of the Callum Morton (OM 1982) sculpture Cover Up #18, situated outside the Headmaster’s office and generously supported by the Friends of Grammar. The piece is the first of a Sculpture Walk, conceived by the Headmaster, Mr Roy Kelley, with Ms Maudie Palmer AO, Founding Director of Tarrawarra Museum of Art and of the Heide Museum of Modern Art, playing a key role in mapping the sites of seven sculptures, across Wadhurst and the Senior School.

The Melbourne Grammar School Art Committee consists of esteemed art professionals, current and past parents, and past and present staff members. Together the Committee guides the selection of artists for the project, with the intention that all works will be created by outstanding Australian artists, commissioned on an individual basis.

We are excited to announce that planning is underway for a second sculpture, to be located next to the Geoff Handbury Science and Technology Hub. Details of the Sculpture Walk may be found on the School’s website, including details of how you may help to bring the project into reality.
