Meet the 2026 Old Melburnians Council

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.
