Edition 131, April 2020
Welcome to the first ‘digital only’ edition of Grammar News, the School’s community magazine.
Grammar News aims to connect our School community with our initiatives and activities, present news about our Old Melburnians, and explore the ideas that are shaping our School and leading us towards new ways of thinking.
It was intended that, beginning this year, an edition would be published at the end of each School Term – digital only at the end of Terms I and III, with print and digital editions at the end of Terms II and IV. However, the landscape shifted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and, like many others, our 2020 plans are currently fluid.
