A message from the President
The Old Melburnians Society was established in way back 1893. It was created to connect generations of Old Melburnians after their time at the School. We're independent and self-governing, whilst still being closely aligned with the School's values through regular briefings from Headmaster Philip Grutzner and the School executive. We also ensure the School understands the Old Melburnians’ legacy and its impact on the fabric of the School.
Be part of the Melbourne Grammar School community
It is a powerful and enriching experience to return to the School and see what has changed and how much remains the same since your time as a student. Our connection to Melbourne Grammar School didn’t end when we graduated; it simply changed form. We are the bridge between the past and the future — between what this school was, and how it has helped shape our futures.
Our purpose, therefore, is to create opportunities for our many generations of OMs to connect, engage, and embrace each other, and to find ways to continue to positively impact our communities.
By becoming involved with the School again, however long it has been, you will find that the connection and sense of belonging are still present. Just as there is no stereotypical Old Melburnian, there is no one way to maintain a connection with the School or each other.
What we offer
Because we are a diverse, global community, we offer many different ways to participate, regardless of where life has taken an Old Melburnian or what they may be looking for.
Our extensive program of activities includes events and reunions, career development opportunities, and a range of ways to connect with other Old Melburnians, contribute your time and expertise, and support the School.
Having experienced the impact of these activities first-hand, I am certain that a continued connection with the School and each other benefits Old Melburnians as much as it benefits the life of our School. There is a sense of shared values, mutual support, and generosity across our community, and it shows. Engaging and embracing the opportunities offered is deeply rewarding.
No matter how long it has been since you left the School, or where you are in the world, the gates are always open. We welcome you in whatever way suits you to ensure you keep connecting with the OM Community.
Jeremy Nichols (OM 1983)
President, Old Melburnians Council
