Alumni

We are delighted to announce the formal launch of Herschel Alumni. We are currently gathering information on former students and staff of the school to create a database of destinations and chosen careers of our Alumni.

Herschel Grammar School has a rich heritage, and the school celebrated its 60th Anniversary in 2019.

We will be providing our alumni with lots of information on the history of the school in the coming weeks as well as news and events.

To bring us right up to date we are pleased to share with you the latest destinations of our 2023 Leavers cohort. Please click on the link below. Is your current or old university represented?

In 2022 we officially launched our new house system. 

As you will know Herschel Grammar School is named after Sir William Herschel and his sister Caroline Herschel.  ​

They were both German-born British astronomers and composers, who are widely credited as the founders of sidereal astronomy for observing the heavenly bodies. William found the planet Uranus and its two moons and formulated a theory of stellar evolution. Knighted in 1816, William was also the first astronomer to suggest that nebulae are composed of stars. His sister Caroline is credited with the discovery of several comets. She was also the first woman to be paid for her contribution to science. 

There are 5 houses across the school, all are linked to stars and constellations 

The house that has the most points at the end of each term, has their house colour ribbons attached to the house trophy. This is displayed in the school foyer along with our many other trophies and awards.

We are immensely proud of our former students and staff and are always happy to hear about and share their successes. Therefore, we are building a database of information about our Alumni so that you can be kept up to date with noteworthy events in the school.

We would be grateful if you could click here to complete and submit the form

Holding Alumni information will allow us to have up-to-date records of the location and professions of former students and staff. Whilst we promise not to bombard people with information, we would love to keep the Herschel link with our alumni and periodically share information about the school and future events.

Finally, we are always delighted to welcome former students into the school. We invite you to visit the school and address our current students as they would undoubtedly find your presentations inspirational.
