The Colin Bingham Medal is named in honour of Mr Colin Bingham who began at Grammar as a boarder in 1913.  His love of writing developed into a distinguished career as a journalist and WWII war correspondent.  His inspiration for writing came from the then Headmaster, Mr Percy Rowland, who instilled in him a love of literature and writing. 

The Junior School Writing Medal was named in his honour at the Writing Presentation Ceremony in 2013.
