It is with immense sadness that we advise of the passing of Old Boy Graham Freudenberg. Often described as the ‘Donald Bradman’ of speechwriters, Graham wrote over a thousand speeches spanning fifty years for several leaders of the Australian Labor Party​ (ALP), including Gough Whitlam and Bob Hawke. For the past few years, Graham has also generously given of his time to visit Churchie​ to speak to our Year 12 Modern History students. Graham ‘s life was recently honoured in a compelling documentary by Ruth Cullen. The Scribe​, is a powerful journey into one of the great minds of politics whose words shaped our fortunes. RIP Graham!
