Centre for Learning and Leadership groundbreaking Gleaming shovels and hardhats sporting the School crest dominated the scene at the recent groundbreaking ceremony to commemorate the start of building work for the new Centre for Learning and Leadership at Melbourne Grammar. Donors to the Campaign for the Centre for Learning and Leadership were invited to a breakfast in the School's Luxton Dining Hall on 21 August 2006. An inspection of the building site and a groundbreaking ceremony followed the breakfast. “This is a tremendously exciting day in both the history and the future of Melbourne Grammar School," announced Melbourne Grammar Headmaster Paul Sheahan at the breakfast. "It is exciting to see the many people who have contributed to getting us to this point.” “The Centre for Learning and Leadership will play an immense role in pedagogy, contributing to the process of teaching and learning in the 21st century as we move away from didactic teaching. It will change the face of teaching and learning,” said Mr Sheahan. The Centre for Learning and Leadership will contain a centralised library and resource centre for Wadhurst and Senior School, centre for leadership, lecture theatre and seminar rooms, information technology hub, multimedia centre, gallery and exhibition space. Following breakfast guests entered the building site where Council Chairman Sandy Clark spoke and dignitaries were invited to turn the sod including donors John Higgins and Nigel Peck, Former Council Chairman John Hasker, Deputy Chairman Ian Vaughan, School Captain Michael O’Brien and prefects.
