Melbourne Grammar at the Olympic Games

Welcome to the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games micro-site.

From the Headmaster

There are few of us who can claim we are the best at what we do on an international scale. The talent, dedication and focus needed to rise to the top of any field of endeavour is to be admired.

Three Old Melburnians will represent Australia at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games – Jessica Morrison (OM 2010), Tim Masters (OM 2009) and Henry Frayne (2007). On behalf of the Melbourne Grammar School community, I wish these outstanding athletes, as well as all other members of the Australian team, the best of fortune throughout the competition.

Since Edwin Flack (OM 1890) won two Gold Medals at the 1896 Athens Games – the first of the modern Olympics, the School has a rich history of contribution to the Olympic Games. I hope you enjoy these stories which highlight some of our Old Melburnians’ successes and achievements over the years.
