Melbourne Grammar School
fostering learning and leadership

From these bluestone classrooms have come three Prime Ministers, Antarctic explorers, and many others who made their contribution to the growth of Australia.

The University of Melbourne
The legislation establishing the University was introduced late in 1852 and passed early in 1853, making it older than all the universities in England except Oxford, Cambridge, Durham and London and older than most in the British empire. Its foundation was principally the result of the efforts of three men - barrister Redmond Barry, colonial auditor-general Hugh Childers and Lieutenant Governor Charles La Trobe.

Melbourne and its graduates will continue to grow in the esteem of future generations in the new century, always proud of it's fine history but always aiming to lead the way in higher education over the decades to come.
