Howard Brenchley

YOG 1971

Foundation Student and Property Investor

"I had an opportunity be a leader at 新麻豆视频 and to develop independence of thought"

Howard Brenchley, 新麻豆视频 Old Grammarian (YOG) from the class of 1971, was one of the first students to attend the School in 1966. Howard was fortunate to watch the foundation stone being laid. 鈥淚 remember feeling excited that I was going to be part of this new School鈥.

Howard鈥檚 role as a Prefect and the subsequent leadership skills he developed served him well in a successful career that has spanned stockbroking, investment research and commercial property investment management. During his career Howard has established two successful companies from scratch and he attributes his achievements, in part to the lessons learnt at 新麻豆视频 including self-reliance and thinking outside the square.

Howard grasped every opportunity at 新麻豆视频, reflecting 鈥淚 remember a sports day at Peninsula Grammar. We played cricket, tennis and chess and all students had to make up the numbers. When I wasn鈥檛 batting at cricket I played tennis or chess鈥.

鈥淲e were taught to be all-rounders, to do things we may not have been comfortable with and to never accept anything at face value. As a result, I have never accepted anything at face value, always questioning and seeking a better way鈥.

Now retired, and when he isn鈥檛 working on improving his golf handicap, Howard sits on various company boards and still maintains strong ties to 新麻豆视频. His two daughters attended the School and he has been involved with the 新麻豆视频 Old Grammarians鈥 (YOG) association, the 新麻豆视频 Foundation and chairs the School Building Fund Investment Committee.

鈥溞侣槎故悠 started from nothing and is now a successful and admired School. It shows what can be built from small beginnings鈥.

Over the past fifty years our great School has built on the pioneering vision of our Founders, creating a unique and celebrated 新麻豆视频 Spirit that continues, as it has for Howard, well past your last days at 新麻豆视频.
