Opening of The Wheelton Centre - Photos 
On Thursday Mar 21 we held our courage on one of Melbourne’s most blustery and windy mornings for some time, and proceeded to hold the opening ceremony of the Wheelton Centre in our outdoor amphitheatre. We were fortunate that the weather held for us as the centre was opened by His Excellency the Honourable Alex Chernov AC QC, Governor of Victoria, and dedicated by The Right Reverend Barbara Darling, Bishop of the Eastern Region of the Diocese of Melbourne. Over 900 people were present including the Wheelton Family; Mr Michael Quinn, representing the Quinn Family; Mrs June Danks, representing the Danks Family; special guests; current and past Council members; Life Governors; Mr Jack Wegman, Mayor of Boroondara; past and present staff; and current and past parents; together with all the students in our Senior School. We were also pleased to have the Architect for the project, Mr Peter Crone and Mr Robert Tedesco, and representatives of the builders, McCorkell Constructions and our consultants, present for this special occasion.

We are very proud and grateful to be able to call this new facility ‘The Wheelton Centre’ in honour of one of our past students, Mr Paul Wheelton. Paul was Dux of Camberwell Grammar School in 1973. When he left school, he gained a number of positions through the Old Boys network and gradually worked his way up to being the Managing Director and owner of the largest Budget Rent A Care Franchise Groups in Australia, as well as Chairman of the Budget Rent a Car ‘Licensee Advisory Council’. Even more impressive, however, has been his commitment to philanthropy throughout his career. He is on the Board of ‘Variety – the Children’s Charity’ and also of the The Marsh Foundation, an organisation which provides recycled medical equipment to Indonesia and beyond. He is also Chair of Life Education Victoria. In addition, Paul and his family has established three orphanages in Bali for children between the ages of 3 and 18, he hopes to encourage others to look at our society through philanthropic eyes. His generous contribution to this project has helped to make this Centre a reality, and to provide some wonderful facilities in which to teach and inspire young men for many years to come, who I am quite sure will learn many exciting new things in this wonderful Centre. I know that our senior students are particularly excited to be in their new home, and I was very proud of them yesterday for the way they presented themselves in difficult conditions.
