This event is free to attend, however, donations to the DJ Ross Memorial Fund would be greatly appreciated.
The DJ Ross Memorial Fund was established in 1983 to honour the memory of Dorothy Jean Ross (Headmistress of the School from 1939-1955). In 2013, the first DJ Ross Oration was held, an annual fundraiser in support of a bursary for students with additional needs. This bursary allows students to complete their secondary education whilst recognising DJ Ross's commitment to providing educational opportunities for all students.
Colonel Catherine (Bunny) Carrigan
Bunny Carrigan is a business consultant, Board Director and senior Army Reserve officer with more than 35 years of leadership experience. She graduated from the Royal Military College Duntroon in its very first class to include women.
Bunny served for 20 years as a logistics officer in the Australian Regular Army before transitioning to the Army Reserve, where she set up a consulting business. She is active on several committees and boards, including the Shrine of Remembrance, the Veteran’s Review Board, the Point Lonsdale Surf Life Saving Club and the Health Share Victoria Procurement and Supply Chain Committee.

We are very excited to hear from Bunny and hope to see lots of Old Grammarians and friends of the School at this event.
