We welcome these Reflections and any historic information or photos to be either emailed to school@bmg.vic.edu.au or posted to Bacchus Marsh Grammar, PO Box 214, Bacchus Marsh 3340. It is hoped that this will form the beginning of a collation process in recognising the school’s full history. If you are a past student, please register for the school’s Alumni via the school website. www.bmg.vic.edu.au
