The Old Guildfordians Everyday Excellence Lunch brought together more than 40 alumni, staff and past parents for a thought-provoking discussion on the theme Compassion in Action.

Hosted by John Shaddick (Stirling 2002–2007), the panel featured Justin Miller (Woodbridge 1985–1986), Dr Jamie Chew (Henn’s 1995–1999) and Oscar Wharton (Prep/School 1999–2012). Through their personal and professional experiences, the panellists shared genuine reflections on the role of compassion in leadership, service and everyday life, highlighting values shaped during their time at Guildford.

A highlight of the event was the opportunity for Old Guildfordians from across generations to reconnect, share stories and strengthen community connections.

Thank you to our panellists, host and attendees for creating such a warm and collegial atmosphere. We look forward to welcoming more Old Guildfordians to future Everyday Excellence events.

More than 100 years ago, the Chapel of St Mary and St George was made possible through a remarkable act of philanthropy. Mr Oliverson never stepped inside it himself. He gave for those who would come after him.

Now your support of the Chapel Fund helps ensure the Chapel continues to be a place of welcome, comfort and connection for generations to come.
