A Greek Australian Year 12 student has made history at Melbourne Grammar School during his muck up day celebrations.

Alexander Kalliakoudis, alongside his friend Roy Gregory, climbed the main building of the school and raised the Greek flag for the first time in 165 years of the school’s existence.
