The theme of this issue is business and entrepreneurship. We highlight the important elements of a contemporary Business Studies curriculum and how Grimwade House students are taking their first entrepreneurial steps. We also consider the impact some Old Melburnians are having on the business world. Overleaf, the Chairman of the School Council introduces Mr Philip Grutzner BForSci DipEd MBA FACE who, in January 2020, will become the 15th Headmaster of Melbourne Grammar School. An auspicious moment in the School’s history for many reasons, Mr Grutzner will be the first Old Melburnian in this role. Former Headmaster, Mr Paul Sheahan AM, recently returned to the School to be honoured for his leadership in the establishment of Edwin Flack Park, with the main oval at the complex being named the Sheahan Oval. You can read more about this event on page 7. I hope you enjoy reading this edition of Grammar News. Wendy Lawler Editor Grammar News No. 129 – August 2019 3 From the School Council Appointment of Headmaster, Mr Philip Grutzner The appointment of the Headmaster is a most important event in the history of any School. Arguably, it is the most important responsibility of any School Council. As a result, in case you missed the announcement of Wednesday 29 May, which is on the School website, I would like to repeat parts of it here. It is with great pleasure that I announce the unanimous decision of Council to appoint Mr Philip Grutzner BForSci DipEd MBA FACE as the 15th Headmaster of Melbourne Grammar School. We reviewed an impressive field of candidates from both Australia and overseas. Philip Grutzner was selected because of his unique combination of skills, values and ethos: From left: Mr Michael Bartlett and Mr Philip Grutzner • his exemplary experience as a progressive educator and leader of three diverse Australian independent schools; With his permission, I would also like to share with you • his capacity to lead, inspire and significantly develop the parts of a humble and most impressive letter Philip sent school communities he has overseen; to me on Friday 31 May, thanking the School Council for • his outstanding education sector leadership experience, his appointment: both in Australia and internationally; and …My parents made tremendous sacrifices to send my older • his personal commitment to, and passion for, Melbourne brother Richard and me to MGS and my sister to Merton Hall.

  • Masters Considered a Report That After the Matches, Xavier College V. Scotch College, and Wesley College V
    ADAMSON IN PUBLIC LIFE 181 also prohibited. At the end of August, 1917, the Head­ masters considered a report that after the matches, Xavier College V. Scotch College, and Wesley College v. Melbourne Grammar School, on the previous week "war cries" had been used. On the evidence it appeared that the Wesley "war cry" had been used by a number of boys from Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar School. The Headmasters considered that the use of "war cries" constituted a "regrettable inci- dens", and a resolution was carried that as "war cries" were used at and after two recent football matches, and there were gatherings of boys to shout at each other after these matches, thus constituting "regrettable incidents", the Pub­ lic Schools competitions for the remainder of the year were suspended. The effect of this was that there were no com­ bined sports in 1917, and no cricket premiership. As soon as the Third Term commenced the captains of the six Associated Public Schools held a meeting, and sent a letter to the Headmasters, asking if under certain condi­ tions and under certain guarantees for the future the com­ petitions might be allowed to proceed. The Headmasters held a special meeting on 22nd Sep­ tember to consider this letter, and finally instructed the Hon. Secretary of the Headmasters to write to the Captains of the Public Schools in the following terms:— "The Headmasters regret that they cannot see their way to alter their decision of 30th August, but they fully appreciate the good motives which prompted the action of the Captains, and consider that had such a letter been re­ ceived before the meeting of 30th August, it might have materially influenced their attitude." The opinion was expressed that the meeting of the Pub­ lic School Captains to discuss matters concerning the general welfare of the schools was an excellent innovation, likely to have a far-reaching influence for good in the future.

  • School Fees Report 2019 Introduction
    School Fees Report 2019 Introduction With one in three Australian families sending their child to a non- Government school, private school fees are a huge investment for parents. Edstart’s School Fees Report helps you understand the trends in private school fees across the country. This year’s report analysed fees from over 300 schools, covering tuition, compulsory additional fees and boarding fees. Overall Trends Private school fees across Australia have risen by an average of 3.1% in 2019, which is slightly down from 3.2% last year. While almost 9% of schools reduced their fees or had no fee change, we found that over 84% of schools increased their fees by more than the current inflation rate of 1.8%*. Fee inflation also continued to outpace the average wage growth rate of 2.2%. While there was a small drop in school fee inflation this year, state-based fee analysis showed significant geographic variances. NSW and Victoria continued to lead the way with the highest average school fees and smallest percentage of schools where fees remained the same or were reduced. Western Australia saw the highest percentage of schools that did not raise their fees in 2019 and the lowest average increase in fees at merely 1.58%. On the other hand, ACT showed the highest fee increase of 5.07%. These statewide trends are caused by some of the key themes that are explained further below. A Tale of Three Parts While overall school fee trends were consistent with prior years, 2019 has generated the largest variety of school fee changes in many years.
