Grammar farewells Sir Anthony Mason (OS 1941/42), who has passed away at the age of 100.
Sir Anthony Mason served as Australia’s ninth Chief Justice from 1987 to 1995, a period marked by significant legal reform, including landmark decisions on native title, Mabo v Queensland (No. 2), and the right to legal representation. His leadership left a profound and lasting impact on Australia’s legal landscape.
During his years at the School, Sir Anthony Mason distinguished himself both academically and on the sporting field. He was named a Prefect and Captain of the School in 1942 and represented Grammar in the First XI. He later returned to Grammar to serve as a Trustee from 1974 to 1975.
The School extends its condolences to Sir Anthony Mason’s family and all who knew and admired him. His legacy will be remembered with great respect.
