Current families should continue to refer to NEXUS for changes to any scheduled events, and Old Grammarians should monitor their email and mail boxes for invitations and advice about any rescheduling.

Cover: Some of our Year 12 “COVID Legends” who, despite a gruelling year of three periods of Learning at Home, have made it successfully through their final year at Ballarat Grammar.

We hope that they have many happy memories and wish them all the best as they embark on their lives outside the School, perhaps armed with greater resilience and a stronger sense of gratefulness for all that they have.

FROM THE HEADMASTER Mr Adam Heath

They didn’t even look like a rugby team. The fact that many of them had never played rugby before was clear. They had been shown the fundamentals of the game, and how to tackle, over the preceding few weeks, as some had never done that, not rugby tackling. Out on the field now, for their first game, they looked positively puny, standing toe to toe with their opposition players, some of whom were Maori mountain-of-a-man men and seasoned players, yet still, somehow under 14.

BOOMAL ACK A | 3

It is difficult to find words to describe that first game: overrun, pounded, humiliated, certainly beaten by such a number of tries and points that I have blocked this from my memory. And this theme continued for the first five games of the season, loss after loss, a sense of being physically overrun time and again.

The coach, Mahindra, was the dad of one of the boys. He had developed a love of the game playing for his School in Sri Lanka.

Whilst he was a very, very good skills coach, he was also a gifted sports psychologist in his ability to build belonging to, and belief in, the team.

Each of the boys made a pledge to the others. In the sixth game they started playing with a deep commitment to one another.

Their skills and understanding of the game still sketchy, and with little confidence, they pieced together some passages of play that reflected their strengths in speed and agility.

Unexpectedly, they won the eighth game of the season and then, somehow, went on winning most games to secure a place in the grand final.

Our Year 12 COVID Legends.

During three periods of Learning at Home, there have been challenges with technology, restructuring learning programs to manage screen related fatigue, and battling through the onerous content requirements for our VCE students. Largely, these challenges have been overcome by the extraordinary efforts and constant innovation of our teachers, and the indescribable commitment of our parents and students.

This remarkable partnership has enabled our students to become independent and self-managing learners.

The greater challenge has been making sure that every member of our community retains a feeling of connection. Our teachers have become gifted coaches of community connectedness. More specifically, they have prompted our students to remember the how, when and why of connection in our community; to remember how our community is looking out for them and cares deeply but, in turn, how care must be reciprocated. They helped our students to know that moments of jubilation are best shared, and tougher times are for reaching out for support. Our teachers coached an understanding, with more salience than

perhaps ever before, of how our school community draws energy and purpose through a collective effort that enables our young people to be their constantly better selves and better human beings.

Desultory and disparaging commentary is often directed to generations of emerging young; I suspect that this cohort of ‘COVID legends’ may be spared. They have certainly emerged more grateful and I suspect none, or certainly very few, will be challenged by entitlement, such is their insight into managing without.

That rugby team that I watched with initial trepidation, won the grand final. Similarly, and against all odds, in our Village, this group of extraordinary young people will be shaped positively by this period of adversity because of the collective efforts of the adults in their lives, providing guidance, reassurance and wisdom; parents and teachers in synchronicity. I hope to never again see an event of this nature in my lifetime. But I will, forever, cherish being part of a community that acted so powerfully, together, for the protection and betterment of our young people.

RETHINKING LEADERSHIP IN 2020 We spoke with some of our student leaders about their experiences of being a leader during 2020 – a year of lockdowns, Learning at Home, and incredible leadership through a period of great uncertainty.

HAYHOE HOUSE

ROBIN HOUSE

What a year! When given our role as 2020 Hayhoe House Captains, we were excited to take on the responsibility of leading our House and all the opportunities that came with it… but we could not have predicted what this year would bring.

The start of 2020 began very similarly to other years: the men of Robin completed House activities together and ate together.

Then lockdown happened, and running a House was a lot more challenging.

What is usually a very practical and hands-on role now had the added challenge of keeping the spirit, positivity and connectedness of our boarding house alive via Zoom.

Throughout Learning at Home, our role involved keeping the girls engaged with fitness challenges and encouraging them to participate in the House Bingo nights, celebrations, and ‘vlogs’. While they were completely different, these activities provided a great opportunity to gain a much deeper insight into the lives of our sisters in Hayhoe.

We were disappointed to have missed some of the opportunities that leaders have had in previous years, but we were honoured to be given the opportunity to lead such a positive and encouraging group of girls. We were so proud of how well our House stayed connected throughout what has been a challenging year.

Phoebe Sheehan and Lucy Clarke, Hayhoe House Captains 2020

We organised House Zoom sessions a couple of times and did activities such as ‘Kahoots’, Scavenger Hunts and Trivia. These activities allowed us to maintain some contact with the other members of the House. Our Year 11s also helped run a couple of House sessions over lockdown, and it was great to see their leadership emerge.

Even when we returned to school, we were still unable to meet as a full House due to restrictions. However, we tried hard to make our House activities engaging and enjoyable by bringing fun to the House which brought us closer, even though we were apart.

It was great to be able to have House Chorals amongst the chaos that was 2020. Seeing the House spirit and the support from each tute group in learning all the moves and lyrics was awesome.

It was an absolute spectacle and a terrific Robin/Cuthbert performance. Overall, it was great to see the men of Robin grow and the Year 11s stepping up to take the reins and become the new leaders of Robin.

“ Learning at Home challenged our minds to think outside the box to generate new ideas ... new ways to lead... such as Community Care Day.” - Rebecca Cuff and Sally Rehfisch

FROM OUR ROUND SQUARE CAPTAINS As this year has been one like no other, Round Square at Ballarat Grammar has been significantly altered.

We went from planning a huge Round Square International Conference, hosting students from around the globe, to all student learning at home isolated in their own town.

However, with all this change and challenge, Round Square has managed to push through as we have found alternative ways to incorporate Round Square into the Grammar community. Learning at Home has challenged our minds to think outside the box to generate new ideas. For example, Community Care Day was a whole school event where we collected items such as sleeping bags / mats, nonperishable foods, as well as sanitary items for organisations in Ballarat that help people in need in the local area. This generated a great outcome for several local charities and we received many generous donations from families across the whole school.

We also worked to create a “Race around the Globe” with a Round Square theme, where each House was challenged to get outdoors and partake in exercise where their minutes created kilometres travelled to reach certain destination points. It was a great motivator to get our exercise in!

Prior to Learning at Home in Term 2, we were fortunate to host a wonderful International Women’s Day event where we had dynamic Old Grammarian, Dr Emma Spinks (Dalkin, 1994), speaking about her life, career and being a role model in today’s society (pictured above).

This was an inspiring Round Square event.

Thank you to you all for your help and special thanks to Mr Tim Adams who helped guide our activities and rethink our leadership through 2020.

“ From the survey feedback we concluded that, particularly for those in Years 7, 8 and 9, allowing opportunity and time to focus on wellbeing during this period was crucial to students’ overall learning success.”

A CHALLENGE FOR MIND, BODY AND SOUL The final week of Term 1 was our first period of Learning at Home, a deliberate response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This was followed up by more remote learning during the first weeks of Term 2.

The year, especially if you were new to the School, or starting Year 7, was quickly moving away from anything that resembled “normal”.

At each of these stages of Learning at Home,

staff, parents and students were surveyed to capture best practice and address the challenges of the situation for our community. It became obvious that the pastoral connections and structured day were working very well, but that for many, this period was in danger of becoming overwhelming. Responses were launched from all over the School: The “Our Village” hub was enhanced to further support our community, and teachers reached once more into a growing ‘bag’ of technology to support our students with their learning.

A CHALLENGE FOR MIND, BODY AND S O U L (C O N T.) From the survey feedback we concluded that, particularly for those in Years 7, 8 and 9, allowing opportunity and time to focus on wellbeing during this period was crucial to students’ overall learning success, and a significant initiative grew from this strange time of uncertainty.

The “Mind, Body, Soul Challenge” was developed through a rapid, thorough consultation with key staff members and the leadership of Chris Beechey, Head of Middle School and Adele Ryan, Co-ordinator of Middle School Learning.

The goals were to get students off their screens, to encourage exercise and a focus on personal wellbeing (Mind, Body and Soul!)

Zoom meetings of 4-5 students facilitated by a teacher allowed students to brainstorm some goals of things they might ‘master’. Students each set themselves a goal that was relevant, interesting, and something they had always wanted to do. Some students took on goals such as designing archery target courses, learning painting techniques, fitness objectives, and culinary arts practices, while other goals were a range of physical challenges from juggling to Rubik’s cube solving, and complex tricks on their mountain bikes. Pets across the School community were walked, groomed, trained and displayed as students took the opportunity to include their animal companions in their challenges.

Students also recorded their physical exercise and completed a weekly wellbeing checklist that asked them to rank how well they were going with eating and sleeping, how they were showing gratitude, focusing on joy and finding good news to read and share. Students effectively encouraged each other to stay active, grateful and mindful using these simple tools and through the pastoral care of their teachers.

The final task was not a demonstration of the goal or activity (though students were very keen to share what they could do and what they had learned) but a video reflection where students thought about the challenges, successes and future goals that had come out of this process.

While all teachers and students are enjoying the opportunity to be back together working on their specific content and skills, the "Mind, Body, Soul Challenge" supported the wellbeing of our students while they worked remotely, and helped them remain connected to their peers and teachers and engaged with their learning.

C E L E B R AT I N G 10 0 + Y E A R S OF BELONGING This is a story about love. It is also a story about four generations, three families, two windows and two schools that are now one.

It is a story about two windows that celebrate two schools, Queen’s Church of England Girls’ Grammar School and Ballarat Grammar, coming together as one.

The new windows in the Chapel of Saint Mark, dedicated in December, 2019, were a gift from Margaret Cutter (Thomas, 1951, previously Wright) and Gerard (Ged) Cutter (1951) in gratitude for all the opportunities the School offered the four generations of Margaret’s and Ged’s families and in recognition of the ethos of service and contribution instilled by the School. The families have celebrated many special family occasions, from baptisms to weddings, in the Chapel of Saint Mark over the past century.

It is a story dating from 1911, when Liddon Thomas started on the very first day of classes at the boys’ school; his sister Elaine Thomas (later Richards) started at the girls’ school in the same year, and Geoffrey Cutter started four years later in 1915. Liddon (Margaret’s father) and Geoffrey (Ged’s father) knew each other at school. A generation later, Margaret and Ged met at the annual school dance, a much-loved event for students from the two schools.

Their lives took different paths and they lost touch until they were reunited, and married, in recent years.

It is a story about three families – Thomas, Cutter and Wright – and their connection with the School through to 2017 when the youngest member of the fourth generation, Will Wright, finished Year 12 at Ballarat Grammar. It recognises the significant contribution made by members of these families spanning more than 100 years. As students, some have held leadership positions including the roles of Prefect, House Captain or Vice-Captain, Round Square Conference delegate and Captain of Boats. They have been in Rowing crews and Athletics, Soccer, Football, Hockey and Softball teams. Marrying into the families, Sid Wright (deceased), Maryann Brown and Heather Wright served as members of the teaching staff. There have been rowing coaches, members of the School Council, Board and Foundation and office bearers of the Old Grammarians’ Association.

It is a story about our school, Ballarat and Queen’s Anglican Grammar School. But mostly, this is a story about love.

Everyone feels a sense of belonging and that the spirit of Queen’s is shining through.

THE TRUE MEANING OF COMMUNITY While things have been and will continue to be tough for many during COVID, the broader Ballarat Grammar community has come together in true Grammar spirit to support and care for each other.

The School, the Ballarat Grammar Foundation, current families and the wider Grammar community have collectively contributed to the establishment of a range of initiatives to support families through the challenges of COVID. The Ballarat Grammar Community Fund was set up in response to a suggestion from parents, with current families invited to donate their fee reduction to be used to provide critical support to families in need.

The Beckworth Trust was activated to offer financial support to families who have been heavily impacted by the pandemic. The Ballarat Grammar Business Directory is designed to support Ballarat Grammar family businesses by encouraging members of our wider community to search and find businesses when looking for any goods and services.

We acknowledge and sincerely thank our whole community for your generosity and care during this extraordinary time.

B A L L A R AT G R A M M A R COMMUNITY FUND The response to this initiative has been humbling. 107 families and seven members of our wider Grammar community have donated to the Fund so far. The comments below express the overwhelming sense of generosity and care.

“ We are appreciative of the opportunity to support the school community and are thankful for the leadership shown by the school at this time.”

” We are very supportive of the approach that the school is taking in the current circumstances.”

“ The School’s commitment to providing the financial and emotional support to all families, to allow all students to continue their education uninterrupted for 2020, is incredibly inspirational. We feel very proud to call ourselves ‘Grammar parents’.”

“ This is exactly why I send my children to this school.”

“ We are encouraged by the support and information Ballarat Grammar are giving us in these unprecedented times.”

“ We are fortunate enough to remain working. We greatly appreciate the efforts of the school in supporting those facing financial hardship.”

“ I am very impressed with this opportunity for parents to direct the fee reduction to another family.”

“ Thanks so much to the school for making sure that no kids need to leave for financial reasons this year.”

“ Thankfully, we are in a position that we do not need this reduction so would like to make ours available for a family that would more greatly benefit from it.”

“ We are extremely proud of how the school has acted to look after each other. We are grateful for the financial assistance offered to families who need it and for the support Ballarat Grammar has offered our family in their online learning activities. We appreciate the effort you are all putting in as staff and sincerely thank you.”

We asked Tim to reflect on what it has meant to him to be part of the Grammar community during COVID. I feel very proud to be a teacher here. The leadership that is coming through from every level, from Board level and Adam Heath down, shows genuine care for every member of the School community.

Very early in COVID when we went into the first lockdown and were all feeling a bit shocked, the messaging from the School was very decisive, very quick and very natural.

It was completely focused on getting families through and doing everything possible to not lose any families.

Every student from VCE through to the youngest was clear on the challenges and how we would face them together.

“ I feel a strong sense from students that, while it’s a very difficult year, they feel genuinely valued and cared for.”

For families, while many are doing it tougher than ever, there has been a clear message that the School has their back no matter how bad things are.

“ There is always a real sense of joy, togetherness and community about the place, not just during COVID, that is created by the leadership, the staff and the students themselves. It’s such a pleasure to work somewhere like that.”

REDISCOVERING YOURSELF IN THE TIME OF COVID-19 The Japanese practise an ancient craft called kinsukuroi, or ‘golden repair’ in which something, usually a pot, that is broken is lovingly repaired with gold. The idea here is that the breakage is part of the history of an object, not something to disguise, in the end perhaps the most beautiful part of the object.

Many of our students this year, especially our Year 12s, have felt robbed of so much to which they were looking forward – sporting competitions, camps, social activities, house events, a full stage performance, musical groups, a valedictory dinner, dance events and on and on the list goes.

In some of the conversations I have had with Year 12s, these breaks or cracks in their experience of 2020 have lead to reflections on a new sense of who they really are. The conversations went something like this:

Cracked Pot - KINTSUKUROI - Broken Pottery (cracked pot) repaired with gold, with the understanding that it is ‘more beautiful for having been broken.’” by catherinetodd2 is licensed with CC BY-NC 2.0.

What did you miss most about this year? Did you miss the sporting competitions?

That will be because you are a person who likes to compete, who likes to strive to be the best you can.

Did you miss house and social activities? That will be because your friends are really important to you.

Did you miss debating, the performance, outdoor education opportunities? That will be because advocating a view, or creating a performance or leadership are an important part of who you are. Maybe you missed musical rehearsals and performance, because team work, working together to make something beautiful is really important to you.

Whatever feels cracked and broken about this year shows you exactly what’s important to you, what’s at the heart of you. Yes, it is disappointing that you couldn’t do that this year. But if you listen to your heart and learn where your cracks are, and hold on to them in whatever comes next for you after school, those things will become the gold that really shines in you, they will become the things that make you whole.”

The class of 2020 has had the opportunity to get to know themselves better through the breakages than any year level before them. With God, nothing is wasted. Not even the bad times.

IN PURSUIT OF THE COMMON GOOD The novelist John Gardner observed that there are only two plots in literature: “A stranger rides into town,” or “A man goes on a journey.” Over the past months, all of us have experienced both plots in this pivotal moment in history, confronting the strange new virus and its profound impact on our life journeys.

Dreams and plans have been disrupted; the sense of control over our lives has been replaced with uneasy uncertainty.

Through this pandemic, we have become acutely aware of our fragility, our interdependence, and a realisation that the relentless pursuit of individualism may leave us lonely, unravelling the social bonds that hold societies together. Our neighbours’ suffering will directly or indirectly affect us. Living in a binary world of winners and losers falls short of how we are meant to live.

How then, as a school community, should we respond to this crisis?

The answer is embedded in values that we seek to uphold at Grammar.

First, we can remember the value of the Common Good. Our Anglican prayerbook exhorts us to “share with justice the resources of the earth, work together in trust, and to seek the common good.” Oxford economists Paul Collier and John Kay “see no inherent tension between community and market (or competitive self-interest); markets can function effectively only when embedded in a network of social relations.” Simply put, in helping others, we help ourselves. In altruism, we find joy.

Second, we can acknowledge the debt to those who came before us, the communities that shaped us and who continue to make our daily lives possible, drawing inspiration from Saint Luke’s Gospel: “To whom much is given, much will be required.” During this time of lockdown and restrictions, we find a deeper appreciation of “essential workers” – healthcare workers, people who work to stack shelves at supermarkets, farmers who produce the food we eat, cleaners, childcare workers, truck drivers, and many more.

At Grammar, we find a deeper respect for our staff, particularly our teachers led by Adam Heath, whose unity of purpose and capacity for agility and teamwork have facilitated the shift to a quality Learning-At-Home programme. Board and Management together continue to work tirelessly to keep our families informed, prepared, and supported.

Third, we can ourselves continue to serve. Service underpins what we do at Grammar, building character and faith in humanity, working towards the Common Good and shaping a kinder world to live in.

“Our Village” on our website is an extension of our community of mutual care, including programmes such as the Grammar Gurus mentoring for our Years 12s, Grammar Community Fund, the Business Directory, wellbeing support and details for accessing financial support. Our students have continued to add leaves to the service tree in the Kinsman foyer, finding new ways to help others throughout this period.

Psychologist Andrew Fuller urges us to connect, protect and respect, saying, “Kindness and love are our best protective mechanisms. Add to this hope and connectedness, and we have the four most potent ingredients of healing. When we develop these in families and communities, we enrich lives.”

For all its challenges, this crisis has crystalised an opportunity for our school to respond with solidarity. As a school community, we are writing our story with kindness, love, hope, and connectedness, by seeking the Common Good that will make us stronger – together.

B O A R D I N G AT SOVEREIGN HILL When the School returned to face to face learning in Term 3, we partnered with local open-air museum Sovereign Hill and its accompanying accommodation facilities, the Sovereign Hill Motel, to comply with the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) guidelines for boarding communities, which recommended no more than two students per room.

It was decided our Year 9 and 10 boarders would be the ones to have the Sovereign Hill experience… there was a hint of jealousy in the air when other boarders learned of the plan! Sovereign Hill holds a fond place in most of our students’ memories, having visited as younger students or with their families.

Our 86 Year 9 and 10 boarders spent four weeks of Term 3 and 8 weeks of Term 4 in 2020 using the accommodation at Sovereign Hill to allow for greater social distancing in our boarding houses in line with AHPPC recommendations. Students departed Sovereign Hill at 7.30am for the trip to the School where they had their meals, classes,

free time, homework time and then headed back to Sovereign Hill on the bus at 7.30pm each night. Many students found it a tiring day, but very enjoyable at the same time.

As a not-for-profit community focussed organisation, it was great to support Sovereign Hill in a time of such a profound downturn and to be able to use their accommodation facilities to work in line with the AHPPC guidelines. Although our students were staying at Sovereign Hill, they were completely separate and not permitted into the main museum area, so there was no mixing with visitors or additional risk of exposure to COVID-19.

Tom Hunt in stroke seat (on right) at the World University Games in 2018

INSPIRING OLD GRAMMARIAN TOM HUNT The position of Magistrate may seem like an unachievable dream to most people, but like many of our Old Grammarians, Tom Hunt (2012) is not one to shy away from a challenge. It’s a strong sense of fairness and justice that led him to this aspiration, with life experience adding to his skill set for the future.

Son of Martin (1974) and Kammy Cordner-Hunt and brother of Ted (2015), Tom started at Grammar as a Wigan boarder in Year 8. Hailing from Mansfield in North East Victoria, coming to Grammar was exciting and it had its own challenges. In Tom’s words: “Being a long way from your family is always tough and getting used to that was hard. Also, the cold…

“ Mansfield can get pretty cold, but it’s still not as cold as Ballarat!”

When Tom finished at Grammar, he studied a double degree in Law/Commerce at Deakin University in Geelong. “I joined the Barwon Rowing Club and found myself taking rowing more and more seriously. I moved to Melbourne in 2014 and started rowing there.” Tom went on to represent Australia in the under-23 Australian Men’s Eight at the World Championships in Rotterdam in 2016, and competed at the Henley Royal Regatta in 2015 and 2017. He also competed in the Victorian Senior Men’s Eight at the 2017 and 2018 Kings Cup and in the Men’s Pair at the 2018 World University Rowing Championships in Shanghai.

During this time, he held a scholarship with the Victorian Institute of Sport, participating in a leadership program through the Institute. “It was a program in conjunction with the Victoria Police that engaged the group with leadership issues and insight from people from all walks of life, to help us prepare for life after sport,” he explains. “I learnt a great deal about different people and how others respond based on their background and experiences.”

Tom says that when he first started rowing at school, he had no intention of taking it to a club or competitive level. “But somehow I became more involved" While I am a very competitive person, I also love competing in a team, and rowing is the ultimate team sport with high levels of precision needed to compete at the top level,” he says.

While he finished rowing in 2018, he notes that he learnt a great deal from the sport, including goal setting, organisation and time management… although he admits he would still like to be better at these!

Tom’s greatest Grammar memories are associated with boarding, such as playing Dart vs. Wigan soccer for the first time and sharing “Dart Wigan Pizza” after the game. Other fantastic memories revolve around the rowing shed; “I don’t think I could pick a greatest memory outright but winning the Head of the Lake would have to be up there!”

Having recently moved back to Ballarat to start as a graduate lawyer with Heinz & Partners, Tom has been enjoying exploring what the city has to offer. “I didn’t really get to know Ballarat when I was boarding here. I knew where the football ovals and cinemas were, but didn’t get to know much about the city itself.”

Tom has recently joined the Committee of the Ballarat and Queen’s Old Grammarians’ Association, recognising he wanted to give back to the School in some way. “I have always taken interest in the current happenings of the School and Grammar taught me that anybody can add value by offering a different perspective.” And Tom gives himself every opportunity to do so and offer something different in every situation.

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE B A L L A R AT A N D Q U E E N ’S O L D G R A M M A R I A N S ’ A S S O C I AT I O N This year we have seen some of the best examples of the community that is Ballarat and Queen’s Anglican Grammar School.

We are witnessing one of the most difficult times experienced in our nation’s history, especially here in Victoria. As Winston Churchill is quoted as saying:

“ Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

The School community and BQOGA have responded accordingly, with a groundswell of support for the Board, for our School leadership and for staff members across all activities of the School. We are managing our way through both the learning and pastoral support programs vital to our students’ success in 2020.

Working with the School, this year we saw the establishment of the very successful “Grammarian Gurus”, recent School leavers volunteering to act as mentors to the current Year 12s. There were over 150 offers of help within a few days, clearly demonstrating the community spirit of the School. We now plan to continue this program annually, such was its positivity and success.

We also partnered with the Rotary Club of Wendouree in supporting five of our Year 11 students to attend the National Youth Science Forum, to be held in January 2021.

We had various new initiatives planned for 2020, including Careers’ Breakfasts, where a forum of OGs in various fields would address our Year 11s and 12s with career advice in a breakfast setting. We are hopeful that this program will now launch in 2021, with annual breakfasts to be held, to continue to strengthen the relationship and community between the School and its Old Grammarians.

BAL L A R AT A N D Q UE E N ’S O LD G RA M M ARI A N S ’ A S S OCIATIO N

We have been able to extend messages of support and encouragement to both the Staff and Year 12 students, so they are aware that all Old Grammarians are walking with them on the journey through this period of upheaval.

Ballarat Grammar Connect is gaining great momentum and we encourage all Old Grammarians to participate by visiting www.ballaratgrammarconnect.com The mutual support and cooperation between the BQOGA and the School during these difficult times has been in the true spirit of the common purpose and the ethics we have had instilled in us all throughout the history of Ballarat and Queen’s.

It has been inspiring to see.

Best wishes from the Committee of the BQOGA. John Taylor President

GIFTS TO GRAMMAR Nola and Ross Squire, School Archivists We thank, most warmly, the Old Grammarians and friends who have donated items to the School’s historical collection in recent months. Their generosity and thoughtfulness are appreciated greatly.

Knowing of the Colebrook family’s history of connection with our predecessor boys’ and girls’ schools, Trish Redman kindly sent an interesting and significant donation to the historical collection. Trish is the great granddaughter of the late Reverend Canon Colebrook, who was a member of CEGS School Council/Board in the 1920s, and served as the Vicar of St Paul’s Camperdown.

He and Trish’s distinguished great aunt Ethel Colebrook, Dux of the girls’ school in 1908, who became Headmistress of Tintern and later of NEGS in Armidale NSW, are mentioned in Susanne L. White’s book, Mainly About Girls.

The collection included a photograph of Rev. Canon Colebrook, an early CEGS Prospectus from the time when he was a School Council Member for the boys’ school, two girls’ school hockey team photographs and a photograph of a large group, possibly at a church picnic.

Of interest, too, are the enrolment details for the sons of Rev. Colebrook: George Albert Colebrook, date of birth 13/11/1894, roll number 11 in 1911, the year that the Diocesan Church of England Grammar School opened, and his brother, Arthur Geoffrey Colebrook, date of birth 16/3/1910, roll number 332 who entered the School in 1922 and left at the end of 1927. He was in the Tennis IV in 1925.

Three of Trish’s great aunts attended the girls’ school: the previously mentioned Ethel Margaret Colebrook,1906 to 1908, Clara 1915–, and Dorothy, roll number 285,1923.

Trish has advised that Clare (Clara) is in the middle of the back row of this photograph, of the CEGGS Hockey Team, c.1915 or 1916.

Past School parent Graeme Eyres donated the Grammar in Concert LP (above).

This recording was made in the Cleaver Wing in 1977 when Alan Woodend was the Conductor and Director of Music.

The record was originally owned by Graeme’s aunt, Miss Lorna Eyres, who will be remembered as a member of the administrative staff for many years until her retirement in 1977.

Queen's CEGGS Headmistress Miss Victoria Krome, centre front

Pam Coghlan (Hall, 1968) donated the table napkins made for An Enchanted Evening at La Bayadere, a most memorable occasion in 1996. The hosts were John and Robyn Gilbert, School parents, and the Auxiliary President and Event Co-ordinator was Thea Wilson, School parent.

Stephen Higgs was our relatively new Headmaster and Victoria Jacobs (1996) was the superb accompanist, stepping into the role with just one afternoon’s notice!

Pam also donated a Queen’s CEGGS Junior School Christmas Vesper Service 1961 Order of Service and Hymn Sheet (below left). This was a most important occasion in the School Year. Also included were, Pam’s Recorder Player’s Card of instructions and a copy of the School Recorder Book, used by her sister Rhondda (1967) and Pam when they were Junior School students.

Rob Lewers (1967) kindly donated newspaper cuttings covering the 1962 Football Premiership, and the newspaper article “Dart looks back on 25 years” from 1967, as well as a copy of The Ballarat Grammarian 1963 and a Boat Race Ball Invitation Card from 1967.

Ian Black (1959) donated a collection from the 1950s which included Grammarians, his School Diary from 1957, with many entries, his Song Book, programs for Speech Nights, Athletic Sports and Boat Race, a Prospectus, photographs of boarders in 1953, 1954, 1955, and snowfall at the School in 1953, University of Melbourne Exam Timetables for Intermediate and Leaving, 1957, and his official Membership of the OGA. Jenny Scott-Wickham (1956) donated four items from Queen’s CEGGS Reunions and samples of BQAGS stationery c.1980s.

David Ritchie, son of Elizabeth (Beth) Ritchie (Ludbrook, 1944) donated digital copies of wonderful photos documenting some of the time Beth spent at Queen’s from 1938 to 1944, including the one above of Miss Victoria Krome at an event at Queens’.

Kay Blake (Tucker, 1963) wrote a most interesting account of memories of her schooldays (which we will publish in the next issue of Boomalacka) and included two photos, and a letter of sympathy from Miss Woodbridge written to her parents following the death of Kay’s 22-year-old sister, Barbara, in a car accident in 1969.

DO YOU REMEMBER? We hope that readers will be interested to hear that we plan to continue this new feature, a selection of recollections and reflections from students and staff of school days. If you would like to submit something for consideration, please email to the Editor – Marnie Pullin, marnie.pullin@bgs.vic.edu.au

Lorraine Bell (Osborne, 1945) former student, School Council Member and Life Governor – by her daughter, Megan Rankin (Bell, 1971) Queen’s CEGGS was always a big part of Lorraine’s life and her children Megan (1971), Catherine (1974) and Barbara (1977), and Robert (1987) all attended either Queen’s or BQAGS or both.

Lorraine Bell (Osborne, 1945)

Lorraine’s father was ordained as a priest in the Church of England and had met her mother through St. Peter’s Eastern Hill in Melbourne.

Lorraine’s Anglican faith has always been so important to her.

Lorraine and her two sisters, Shirley (1943) and Gillian (1950, dec.) attended Queen’s starting with Miss Radcliffe in Kindergarten.

Lorraine left school at the end of her Leaving year (1944) due to straitened financial circumstances after her father’s early death.

Lorraine has always written clearly and eloquently and wanted to be a journalist, but instead found herself a job at Taylor and Taylor Chemist until she could commence her nursing training at the Ballarat Base Hospital.

She nursed in Bundaberg, Warrnambool and Morwell before returning to Ballarat after marrying her husband, Alex Bell.

Lorraine remembers her school days as happy ones; the School was only small so there was great camaraderie between year levels and thiswas enhanced by playing sport, being involved in Drama, having Boarders at the School and being a member of Cuthbert House.

Being at school during the Second World War was a defining time for all the students, especially as the sister of their beloved Miss Woodbridge was taken prisoner by the Japanese. Mum’s knowledge of geography was honed during this time with battles and conflicts tracked on big maps.

Michael Boyle, former student (1955), Teacher, Priest and Historian –

by Paul Kauffman, PhD (1969) One of Ballarat Grammar’s extraordinary teachers over the years, Michael Boyle, is well and living in Gardiner Street Warracknabeal, where he grew up. Recently, former teachers had a meal with Michael in Warracknabeal and reminisced about some wonderful years.

Lorraine proudly wearing her Life Governor's medallion.

Lorraine always maintained an interest in the School through the Queen’s Alumni fondly known as the ‘Old Girls’. They were a productive and social group, both in Ballarat and in the regions. As children, we knew them all and loved helping out at their functions. The Old Girls offered scholarships, provided equipment for the School and special extras in the boarding house. The lovely Picnic at Vaughan Springs to celebrate Cuthbert House’s win at the House Sports is a particularly happy memory.

Lorraine was involved in the 1968 Celebrations and she and Alex organised afternoons of Folk Music in the Stuart Murray Hall at Queen’s.

Lorraine served on the School Council. Megan remembers being regaled with stories of the Building and Grounds Committee and her discovery of spoon drains! “The closing of Queen’s and the merging of the two schools was a difficult time for Mum but she maintained links and friendships and served on the combined Council. There were Bell children at the two schools for 20 years; Mum enjoyed her involvement in the School and was very honoured to have been made a Life Governor in 2005.”

Lorraine is currently residing in Arcare Aged Care in Point Lonsdale and a highlight for her last year was when Peter Reading (1969) brought his mother, Margaret Reading (1945, known as Yeoie for her maiden name Yeo!) to visit, and Mum (known as Oz – for her maiden name, Osborne!) was telling us about a production of Pride and Prejudice that they had both acted in.

Author of the book, Winds of Influence: A Short History of The Ballarat Grammar School 1911–1971, Michael attended Ballarat Grammar as a student and student teacher between 1951 and 1955. Following his time at Ballarat Grammar, he gained an Honours degree in Classics at the University of Melbourne, then returned to Ballarat Grammar to teach English and Latin at the School from 1960 to 1971. He went on to teach in Melbourne at Saint Paul’s (now Emmanuel College) until his retirement in 1992. Following his retirement from teaching, he was ordained at age 62 and has worked as an honorary Anglican priest in Warracknabeal.

He inspired a love of learning and literature among all receptive students.

Students remember him reading Dickens enthusiastically to Remove and Shell (Year 8 and 9) students.

For two hours each evening, three nights a week, he taught Greek to two students, Paul Kauffman and George Abrams, and they gained first and second place in the State and found that subject a good basis for many other studies.

From 6am until 8am he would work each day in the Grammar vegetable gardens with Headmaster Mr Jack Dart, in a good attempt to make a school, of some 160 students, self-sufficient in vegetables.

He engaged hundreds of students with wideranging discussions on politics, history and literature and the importance of the classics.

His nickname among students was “Bish” (short for Bishop) because he took religion so seriously. Success in life? Michael says that it involves achieving some goals you have set yourself, gaining self-discipline, and forming, retaining and feeding a love of learning.

OLD GRAMMARIAN AND COMMUNITY NEWS We are always pleased to receive news about Old Grammarians and past Staff members. If not received directly from family or directly from the person, we make every effort to seek approval from family and only publish if this approval can be provided.

Barry and Rose Smith (from Archives)

BIRTHS

NEWS

Anthea Foley (Gribble, 2003) and her husband, James welcomed their second child, Ruby, a sister to Olivia, in June 2019.

Barry Smith and family

Robin Thurman (1997) and husband, Kurt Olsen, live in Melbourne and have two girls Lottie (3) and Beatrix (1). Robin completed her medical degree at The University of Melbourne and then training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Melbourne, before undertaking a Fellowship in Maternal Fetal Medicine in Toronto, Canada. She now has a subspecialist consultant position at The Royal Women’s Hospital and also delivers privately at Frances Perry House. She would be happy to see any Old Grammarians who will be welcoming a baby soon!

Rowan Williamson (2001) and his wife, Isabel, welcomed their second child, Frederick Peter Williamson, in September 2019. Freddie is a younger brother to James (now 6) who has recently started at primary school. The family resides in Mt Gambier and Rowan continues to travel to work on the family beef cattle farm located just over the South Australia/Victorian border in Drik Drik. Rowan and Isabel also own and operate a dental practice in Mount Gambier; Isabel is the Principal Dentist.

They have recently acquired another location in Mount Gambier which they plan to fit out over the coming months.

Retired Headmaster and Life Governor Barry Smith OAM and his wife Rose moved from Ballarat to the Mornington Peninsula several years ago. They appreciate their proximity to family members and enjoy regular close contact (albeit limited due to COVID-19 this year) with daughter, Robyn (1974) and son, David (1977), eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren.

Barry spent much of the earlier part of this year in and out of medical facilities, following a hip fracture. He is now very much better and can walk quite a way, although there are no quick singles to be taken at the moment!

In a recent letter, Barry reported that Robyn is working at Haileybury, Brighton, in their Early Learning Centre helping with Art, Library and Physical Education. She has also published some material for that level and, from time to time, speaks at various conferences. David has his own business Business Coaching - which he enjoys.

Grandson, Danny Hanratty (2000) “is doing well for himself. He now runs daily for about an hour, works in a Vegan restaurant as a chef, and in his spare time, has set up an on-line business trading books and comics.”

Danny lives at Seddon with his partner Danielle. Sadly, Katherine (1976), Danny’s mother, died in 2011.

Many readers will remember Barry and Rose and their family with affection.

Gemma Kaiser (Lay, 2005) lives in Traralgon and works as a Senior Clinical Pharmacist at Latrobe Regional Hospital and was recently able to assist Director of Development, Travis Polkinghorne, regarding the Lay family and its relationship to the School. he said “It’s been a challenging year with S COVID, but I work with an amazing team which has worked hard through the unique challenges.” Gemma married her husband Jeremy in 2017; they have a two-year-old daughter Brianna and they are expecting a second child in March.

Gemma’s sister Sarah Williams (Lay, 2008) lives in Grovedale (Geelong) and is currently on Maternity Leave from her job as a Physiotherapist at the Hamlyn Views Special School. She married her husband Peter, also in 2017, and has two boys - Fletcher is 2 (2 months older than Brianna) and Tate is 6 months old. Their parents are now both retired and still live in Creswick.”

DEATHS Colin Austerberry (1956) sadly passed away in June 2020. Our sincere sympathy is extended to Colin’s wife, Barbara, children Simon (1983), Megan (1985) and Janet (1985) and their families.

Prue Capell (Myers, 1973) passed away recently at home, surrounded by her loving family. Prue is survived by her husband, Andrew, and their sons, Campbell (2005) and Tom (2005) and their families. The Ballarat Grammar community continues to extend deepest sympathy to Prue’s family, including her sisters, Jan Hutchison (1965), and Claire Rowlands (1971).

Douglas Josif (1977) was living in Western Australia, when he died suddenly in April 2020. Douglas had been based in Broome since 2013 as Director Operational Reform.

Douglas trained as a nurse in Gosford NSW. Douglas spent much of his clinical nursing days in Ballarat at both Ballarat Health Services and St John of God Hospital in the Oncology Ward as Charge Nurse. He completed a Master in Health Service Management and progressed his career to focus on management roles including Chief Executive for Ngaanyatjarra Health Services.

He will be hugely missed by his family: Catherine his wife, their two children, Ewen and Emaly, and his six grandchildren, as well as his sister Ann Kelly (Josif, 1978).

Alicia Miller (Flett, 1991) Aged 46 years, Alicia passed away at home in Echuca with her cherished family, husband Stephen and four sons aged 17, 15 (twins) and 11. Dearly loved and loving daughter of Bronwyn and Graham and sister of Alastair (1986) and Debbie, Euan (1988), Angus (1994) and Kylee. A valued member of the Echuca Community, she was a Nurse and Midwife and Community Child Maternal Care Nurse.

Many lives were touched by her and she will be greatly missed. Alicia entered the Junior School in 1984, and joined Cuthbert House in 1986. She was appointed as a Prefect in 1991. Throughout her busy schooldays, Alicia enjoyed sports, the experiences of being an Outdoor Education Leader, a representative on Social Service, Social and Magazine Committees, a member of the Swing Choir, School Orchestra and the cast of School Musicals. She was awarded School Colours for Drama in 1990 and 1991. Alicia had an extraordinary capacity to give and do, and we send our sincere condolences to her family and friends.

Elizabeth Ritchie (Ludbrook 1944) passed away on 5 August, at her family home at Buninyong at the age of 92. Beth recalled her time at Queen’s CEGGS fondly: “Social life happened after the bell went, I was in every team except tennis and never got home before 6.30pm at night.” Beth met her husband Frank (Ritchie, dec) at school dances, organised by the Queen’s Matric class girls, held at The Wattle where: “the Lucas’s pounded out the music on piano and clarinet”. Beth is survived by her sons David, Stephen and Alastair, six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Wayne Hankin (1963) passed away in May 2020. Wayne was a Ballan boy, and spent seven years at the School, from 1956 to 1963.

He enjoyed his time as a coxswain.

Our sympathy is extended to his family and friends.

The School was saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Adrian Phillips (1984) in rural Queensland in early September.

Adrian left Grammar at the end of Year 8 to move to Melbourne with his family. When he finished school, he joined the Navy where he was a Chef for many years. After retiring, he worked in hospitality up until his death.

Sincere condolences are extended to his family and friends.
