The McKeown Family returns to CGS

On Saturday 30 July it was a pleasure to welcome back Wilma McKeown (widow of CGS Head Paul McKeown 1970 - 1985) and her five adult children to Canberra Grammar School. Chris, Jonathon, Deidre, Penelope and Libby along with Wilma enjoyed a tour of the School grounds to reminisce about their time living as a family on campus, and the joys and challenges that provided.

Going through the home they grew up in, which we now know as the Community Development Office and Senior School Reception, was a highlight. It brought back memories of childhood and a life of any normal family where dad spent much of his time “working from home”. We thank the family for taking the time to visit and providing a new sense of life and insight into the history of CGS.
