About Hall of Fame
In 1961 the first 86 students were enrolled in a brand new independent school located in Mount Eliza, now known as Peninsula Grammar. Since then some 9,000 alumni have been educated at Peninsula Grammar. All have experienced an unsurpassed education based on the sound values of: Stewardship, Integrity, Personal Excellence, Love of Learning, Community Spirit and Christian Values. Of those 9,000 past students, the majority of whom are members of OPGA, many have gone on to reach the pinnacle of their chosen career pathways. The Hall of Fame recognises and celebrates the achievements of these inspiring alumni of Peninsula Grammar. Some have become leaders of repute, innovators or recognised throughout the community for their endeavors. Others have been quiet achievers but may be known to you for their efforts in society. In 2015 the inaugural 'TOPSA' Hall of Fame induction took place at formal dinner held in the Pavilion situated overlooking the H A Macdonald oval. Some 50 inductees in 6 categories were inducted following nominations from former alumni. By promoting their extraordinary success stories, other alumni and the current student cohort of Peninsula Grammar can be motivated and inspired to push the boundaries and realise their own dreams. Nominate someone who inspires you today. |
