OLD GUILDFORDIANS
Passing of the Patron:
VALE The Hon. John Wickham QC
It was with great sadness that the School’s community said goodbye to The Honourable John
Wickham QC, who died peacefully in his sleep on 24 September 2018 at age 99 years.
John was a passionate Old Guildfordian with a long
and distinguished relationship with the School. As
a student he was a School Prefect, Captain of St
George’s House and Captain of the Shooting Team.
In later life his extraordinary service continued when
he became a Fellow of School Council and then he
took the chair from 1956-1959, all of which saw
The Hon. John Wickham QC
him become an Honorary Fellow of School Council.
His commitment extended to The Old Guildfordians
Association, where John was President from 1947-
1948, being later elected as an Honorary Life Member
and then becoming Patron of the Association from 2004, a position he held until his death.
In his professional life, John was a Justice of the Supreme Court of Western Australia from
1969-1983. Murdoch University also benefited from John’s dedication to education when
he was Chancellor from 1974-1980.
After such exemplary service to the School’s community, it seemed fitting that the
memorial service for John would be held in the School’s Chapel, the Chapel of St Mary and
St George.
While it is difficult to say farewell to such a committed and distinguished individual, we
thank you John for your devotion to the broader community of Guildford Grammar School.
