Meet the passionate people that lead our association.
We have an amazingly dedicated team of alumni, leading this association with passion, experience and dedication. We would love to see some more past students or staff join the ranks to help grow our incredible PGS alumni community!
We meet once every two months. If you love your school and want to give back, fill out our expressions of interest form here to find out more.

OPGA continues to give me a connection with the school having been a part of since I was born. My father, Reverend Dr. Dudley Barrington Clarke OBE, was the Foundation Headmaster of this school, so it still amazes me how a simple tin shed and a single grey brick structure has evolved into what the school is today. I hope OPGA/TOPSA can continue to reach out to the school alumni and encourage them to be a part of their association.
Darren Mcleod ESM ('83)
Vice-President
With the support of our committee, I aim to have a greater connection back to our school which I so enjoyed being part of. I am hoping to encourage more of the alumni to be involved with planned events and / or simple gatherings.
Ian Cockle ('79)
Treasurer
I got reconnected with Peninsula Grammar when 2 of our 3 daughters attended the School. Peninsula Grammar has a lot to offer, including from our alumni network. With the support of our committee, we want to bring alumni together and give back to the student community.
Laura Vatousios ('04)
Secretary & PGS Alumni Liaison Officer
I was recruited by Kristen Beagley in 2018 (also Class of 04). I have amazing memories of Peninsula and lifelong friends from my time at school and feel lucky to have had such an incredible education. I want to give back and strengthen ties between alumni and our school. I also would love to share more about current life at Peninsula Grammar so our alumni can continue their engagement with the school for years to come.
Kristen Beagley ('04)
Committee Member
I was asked to get involved in 2017 and was excited to meet with others who valued their time as a student as much as I did. I would love to grow our committee and be able to offer more ways for Alumni to connect.

Join our Committee
Are you interested in giving back to your school and alumni community? Join the OPGA committee! We meet once every two months either via Zoom or in person to discuss reunions, alumni engagement activities and make decisions about how we can give back to both our past and current students. It is a wonderful way to stay connected with Peninsula Grammar and the local Mount Eliza community.
