Following the assembly, families and friends joined the School for the official opening of the new Hellenic Heritage Center, a vibrant space showcasing the rich history of Greece and the story of Greek migration to Australia.

Events like these offer students a meaningful opportunity to celebrate and reaffirm their Greek language learning.

It also reflects Alphington Grammar School’s ongoing commitment to celebrating the Greek language, history, and cultural identity.
