ART ACQUISITION
It was a pleasure to host a morning tea for two of our Alumni - Jan Palethorpe (Class of 1973) and Marian Crawford (Class of 1972). Both Jan and Marian are successful artists and Marian is now a lecturer at Monash Fine Art.
The school recently acquired some of their art to display at the East Campus. It is wonderful to have our alumni artists' work on display at the East Campus, infusing it with culture and connecting the campus to our proud history.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for a delightful morning tea in celebration of the art.
