The Ultimo Series: Thought Provoking Lectures At International Grammar School

Known as a ‘local school with a global perspective’, International Grammar School, located in Ultimo near Sydney’s CBD, is a unique independent, co-educational and secular school offering quality teaching for early learning, primary and high school students. 

The school hosts a series of thought-provoking academic lectures called The Ultimo Series, offering members of the IGS Community the opportunity to come together for an intellectually invigorating experience.

The Ultimo Series: Thought-Provoking Lectures By World-Renowned Experts 

Drawing on the expertise at IGS's doorstep, renowned thought leaders facilitate discussions and engage in interactive question-and-answer sessions on critical topics. For the last session of 2026, Associate Professor Alexis Whitton will delve into a topic affecting many of us right now: Digital Mental Health for Teenagers: What works, what's hype and how parents can help. The talk will focus on the current digital landscape, how we can help teenagers navigate the challenges they face online and what helpful tools are available. 

Hosted by IGS Deputy Principal Senior School, Thom Marchbank, the session will commence with light refreshments and an opportunity to connect with others before hearing from the guest speaker.
