Keith Graham
Passed away on 28 Dec 2024.
His time at Grammar were some of his most fond and cherished memories. Grammar nurtured his talent and instilled in him his great passion for sport – cricket, football and rowing. It also gave him a great sense of community and giving back which he did through his teaching position at the Hugh Myddleton School, in London’s East End (where he managed, much to the amusement of his class, to hit a cricket ball through a hole in the nets and a window where it landed at the feet of Vera Lynn who was a member of the School Board) and the through his role with Oakleigh Tech and his involvement in the Rob Gray Ski (Legacy) Club, Mt Baw Baw, where he took students who would otherwise never the opportunity to learn to ski, in groups that later became known as cross-age tutoring.
