Friends of Grammar (FOG) has been instrumental in building the strong School community we have today.
The term Friends of Grammar came into first use in 1977, but it was an evolution of the first parent groups – Grammar Mothers, Friends of Grimwade and Friends of Wadhurst – which were established in the 1950s.
Over the years, FOG has organised a remarkable array of functions and activities. Moreover, they have provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere for both FOG members, and guests at their events. The group is an example of a remarkable and unbroken legacy of voluntary service to the School.
CAN YOU HELP?
We aim to celebrate the rich contribution FOG has made to Melbourne Grammar School next year, but our archival material is a little thin.
We are seeking archival objects relating to FOG and its predecessors. We are also interested in hearing from past members and other people with stories to tell about their memories of FOG.
