The Archbishop of Melbourne Dr Philip Freier officially opened Yarra Valley Grammar’s new Junior Primary building on Wednesday 25 October.
The building was opened in the presence of Year 6 students, Yarra Valley Grammar staff, the school Board and distinguished guests including The Honourable Michael Sukkar, Federal Member for Deakin, The Honourable David Hodgett, the Victorian Member for Croydon and Cr Rob Steane, Mayor of Maroondah.
Following the opening service there was a short tour of the building, visits to classrooms and morning tea with guests and the Junior school staff at recess.
Yarra Valley Grammar is an independent Anglican, co-educational grammar school, located in Ringwood, a suburb of Melbourne. Yarra Valley was founded as an all boys Anglican day school in 1966 before transitioning to a co-educational model in 1978.
“The Junior Primary building which faces onto Kalinda Road will house classes from Prep to Year 2 and is a wonderful addition to our school,” a Yarra Valley Grammar spokesperson said.
