A Historic Foundation Day: Welcoming Our 5th Principal, Leandra Turner

In February, we celebrated 64 years of Peninsula Grammar and the commissioning of our 5th Principal, Leandra Turner. Foundation student Alan Kemp marked the occasion by presenting Leandra with The Foundation of The Peninsula School book - a symbolic reminder of our founding years and ever-evolving approach to education. We were also joined by Foundation guests, Brook Miskin '67, Bob Arthur '66, Warwick Barton '66 and Richard Stockdale '65.

It was also wonderful to see some other very familiar faces back in Ansett Hall, as we honoured our 2024 alumni high achievers. Congratulations to you all!

Whether you were here in 1961 or 2025, our shared history and strong school spirit unite us. With Leandra at the helm, we look forward to an exciting year ahead for our PGS alumni and school community!
