Friends of Frogmore Lunch & Drinan Medal Award 2025

On Thursday 29 May 2025, we welcomed over 80 guests to the School for a truly special occasion – the annual Friends of Frogmore Lunch & Tony Drinan Medal presentation. 

This cherished event brought together our vintage alumni and long-serving staff to honour the enduring spirit of our community.

TMA Committee Member Katie Sawford (Class of 2013) opened the event with warm reflections on her School days, celebrating the friendships and shared experiences that continue to connect us all.

Principal Andy Müller shared exciting updates about the School’s future, including the launch of our Community Scholarship and upcoming Giving Day, a new chapter in our commitment to accessible education.

Guests were treated to a moving video message from Dr Roland ‘Roly’ Wettenhall (Class of 1969), who reminded us of the joy in lifelong learning and the importance of always seeking new horizons.

Current Head Prefect Darcy H.M. and Bayview Captain Willow B. spoke with passion about leadership and legacy, inspiring all with their vision for the future.

A highlight of the afternoon was the presentation of the 2025 Tony Drinan Medal to Les Gelis (Class of 1986), honoured for his outstanding achievements in sports physiotherapy. Les’s parents, Niki and John Gelis, proudly accepted the award on his behalf.

Following a delicious lunch, guests enjoyed guided tours of the campus led by our student leaders a perfect way to reconnect with the School and see its evolution firsthand.
