Daniel volunteered to support one of our Year 12 students during COVID in 2020.

James Gribble (2006) married Sarah Ipsen in December 2020 at Scrub Hill. James and Sarah are currently residing in Ballarat and James is a practising Architect.
Tegan Hamilton (2003) recently appeared in series two of the Netflix series ‘Blown Away’, a reality program pitching ten glassblowers against each other in a competition to produce outstanding sculptural and practical works. The Courier featured an article on Tegan at the time and Tegan credited Grammar's long-serving art teacher Rob Hurley with sparking her interest in art and ceramics, initially. In the article, Tegan also mentions Old Grammarians Christine Atkins (2004) and Nick Doran Adams (2009) who have both pursued careers as glass artists – maybe an OG Glass Art exhibition is in the works!
Tegan Hamilton (2003), Christine Atkins (2004) and Nick Doran Adams (2009) have all pursued careers as glass artists – inspired by a wonderful Ballarat Grammar Art and Design program.
