The official opening of the Centre for Excellence will commence at noon and will be attended by His Eminence Archbishop Makarios, who will conduct a blessing, and The Hon. Steve Dimopoulos, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events and Minister for Creative Industries.
Chris Damatopoulos, Oakleigh Grammar Board Chairman said the event is “a way of giving back to our vibrant and supportive wider community.”
