About this issue

Welcome to the first issue of Grammar News for 2013.

In this issue, we consider diversity at Melbourne Grammar School. To begin, the Chairman of School Council, Emeritus Professor Richard Larkins, and the Headmaster, Mr Roy Kelley, take a close look at demographics, within both the School and the wider community. It becomes clear quite quickly that the School community brings together a rich and varied mix of backgrounds, cultures, languages and ideas.

These same themes emerge in our report on student destinations. Our 2012 Year 12 students have set out on a wide range of study pathways, tackling everything from humanities to architecture, business to sports science.

We also see diversity in the everyday life of the School and, in particular, the range of activities available, both curricular and co-curricular. In this issue, we take a look at recent happenings around Grimwade House, Art and English programmes at Wadhurst, and Senior School's Symphony Orchestra Tour and Quad Play.

As a final note, I am always open to stories from across the Melbourne Grammar School community. I invite you to get in touch with me via The Lodge, with article ideas, photographs or any other suggestions for future issues of Grammar News.

I hope you enjoy this issue.
