We were very pleased that Principal, Rebecca Cody, together with Chair of Council, Paddy Handbury, were able to be present, together with a number of Council members, past and present, along with representation from the Foundation Board. Rebecca introduced the School Captains and gave a brief update on developments at the School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was very special to have so many new pins awarded at the event by Vanessa Mahon, Chair of the Foundation. The continued interest and growth in the Society and its membership augers well for the future sustainability of Geelong Grammar School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
