The centenary of Gippsland Grammar will be celebrated in 2024.
Commencing as the Church of England Girls School (CEGGS), Sale in 1924 with just four pupils, the school then became St Annes CEGGS, and following the establishment of Gippsland Grammar School for boys in 1960, the schools amalgamated in 1971 to form St Annes and Gippsland Grammar School, now known as Gippsland Grammar.
Celebrations will start on Friday, February 23, with a gala evening at Maffco Brewery.
To mark the centenary, a book has been prepared by historian Ann Andrew, which contains 100 stories from past students of the school, illustrating the changing times they have experienced.
The book, Memories Stories of 100 years from Gippsland Grammar, will be launched with a birthday celebration on Saturday, February 24, along with a book for young children, Wheelbarrow’s Birthday, with stories based on the recollections of past students.
All are welcome to attend. There will be a church service at the school chapel on Sunday, February 25.
Also on Sunday there will be a Gippsland Grammar School Old Boys’ reunion barbecue at the Garnsey Campus.
All Old Scholars who attended Gippsland Grammar School between 1960-1970 are invited to return to the Garnsey Campus for a barbecue lunch and reunion.
