COVER: Matilda the Musical! What a TRIUMPH! While cast, crew and orchestra were only able to perform two of the scheduled four shows due to a COVID-related hard lockdown being imposed straight after Thursday’s opening night, the show was spectacular in every sense of the word. The whole team is so grateful for the opportunity to present a preview for Junior School students and that opening night show with a record audience of just over 600. We congratulate, with all our hearts, everyone involved in Matilda, the Middle and Senior School Production for 2021.

Our 2021 Year 12 Leavers give our 2021 Prep students a Guard of Honour after the Preps gift them each a sapling, representing their growth while at School, and their future growth to come after they leave.

FROM THE HEADMASTER Mr Adam Heath

It is easily my most challenging ‘question and answer’ session each year. In the first weeks of Term 1 the Preps come to visit the Headmaster. They arrive in Kit’s Garden, the stunning cottage garden adjoining the Founders’ Wing that commemorates Kit Williamson’s 52 years of devoted and generous service, most as Matron, from 1941 to 1993.

Each year the Prep students have lots of questions for Mr Heath.

BOOMAL ACK A | 3

We think that the Preps arrive looking cuter than words, but they believe that they are as old as anything, as they have just successfully navigated their first major graduation, from Kindergarten to Prep. They believe that they are now the ‘big kids’. They do a walkthrough of my office and then it is time to ‘grill’ the Headmaster with their questions. Usually, they want to know what a typical day for a Headmaster is like. I give an overview of a usual routine and, by the end of this, they give the strongest sense that much of what I do doesn’t seem like real work and, in fact, in their Prep classrooms, they are doing the hard work.

They leave feeling even more affirmed that they are occupying the ‘big end of town’ where all the serious work is undertaken.

Whilst we are grateful we enjoyed their visit this year, in 2021 we have once again had to manage without so many of these events, be they House Carnivals or Chorals, our weekly Chapel Services or our coming together to recognise achievements at Assemblies and Year level gatherings. If we had any doubt about the significance of these rituals, we need only look to the Year 12 Seed to Tree Ceremony held recently. For the last eight years, the Leavers’ Eucharist held in the Wendouree Centre for Performing Arts has concluded with each Year 12 Leaver being presented, by a Prep student, with a small tree to take and plant in commemoration of the completion of their schooldays.

School. Bishop Garry Weatherill addressed our Leavers before walking amongst the students and blessing them with copious droplets of sacramental holy water, reminding them that water is the essence of all life.

Our Year 12 students then processed, one House group at a time, to a small avenue on one of the adjoining lawns. And there were those same Preps that had grilled me earlier in the year! Each held a small sapling to present to a School Leaver, symbolising that, just as a seed has the potential to develop into a fine tree if it receives water and careful nurturing, School Leavers (saplings) now have the potential to develop, as trees planted in life, into fine adults and community contributors.

The moment when it began to dawn on me that our students had missed and were craving these rituals was when one of the

In 2021 we were not permitted to gather inside. Even outdoors on the lawn adjoining Dart House, it was necessary to segregate students into COVID-safe House groups and, sadly, it was not possible to share in the celebration of the Eucharist. But we gathered and shared reflections, highlighting the shared values and aspirations of our The Seed to Tree Ceremony as part of the Leavers' Eucharist is one of the School traditions we hold dear.

Year 12 boys, a tall, strong, football-playing lad, pulled out of his blazer pocket a small card that he had prepared for his Prep student. A reciprocated generosity. Then, in more reciprocated respect, the Year 12s decided that they would form a Guard of Honour for the Preps, who processed through, looking as proud as Punch, feeling the recognition due to them for their enormous first year of learning and development in the ‘Big School’.

We have missed these opportunities to gather, and now recognise their importance more fully than ever before. They are times when we remember what it is that we value and hold dear. Our gatherings inevitably focus on the achievements of our young people and kindle hope for our collective future. They remind us of how, together, we can and will make a positive difference in the world.

OUR THRIVING JUNIOR SCHOOL Co-Deputy Head of School and Head of Junior School, Mark Warwick, with students in new play space.

With an ongoing focus on empowering students to think about themselves as skilled learners and active community members, the Junior School is constantly improving and developing to support and increase student agency and resilience.

Maria Cahir, Assistant Head of Junior School (Teaching, Learning and Innovation) and International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) Co-ordinator, says lots of exciting things are happening.

“We’re building new learning environments and developing our learning programs right across the Junior School to create a positive and happy learning environment. At the same time, we’re doubling down on strengthening relationships. This has been important in supporting our whole community in the face of challenges with COVID.” Helen Trotter, Assistant Head of Junior School (Teaching, Learning and Innovation) and Junior School English

Co-ordinator says linking learning to resilience and hope is important. " When students are engaged and happy, they are instilled with hope and therefore, learn well."

ENHANCED LEARNING PROGRAMS

DEVELOPING CONFIDENT, FLUENT, AND CURIOUS READERS

PRIMARY YEARS PROGRAMME (PYP) ENHANCEMENTS

In line with the latest research and following a successful trial in 2020, the Junior School has introduced the InitiaLit literacy instruction program. The evidenced-based program combines a systematic phonic approach to literacy with developing a love of literature.

Following a review of the PYP in the Junior School and taking into account the latest International Baccalaureate educational research, there is a renewed focus on connections, curiosity and creativity.

Maria Cahir says making and enhancing connections in learning is at the core of the PYP. “Students are constantly exploring connections – to ourselves, to one another, to the community and to the wider world. They are building their understanding about the importance of being a good person and their role as a global citizen.”

Encouraging a curious and creative mindset empowers students to be active agents in

their learning and growth. Student-created committees at Mount Rowan are a great example of student agency at work, part of their Unit of Inquiry, ‘How we organise ourselves’. Year 4 Co-ordinator Mike O’Neill says this approach teaches the students about teamwork and a sense of responsibility and reinforces the role that we all play in operating a successful and functioning community.

“The committees support the Mount Rowan campus community to thrive. For example, this year we’ve got a Chook Committee that cares for our lovely hens and prepares the eggs for sale, a Library and IT Committee that ensures all our library books are accounted for and in good condition, a Gardening Committee and several others.”

Helen Trotter explains that the program has a rigorous approach, with a commitment to laying strong foundations and developing all the simultaneous skills that are happening as a person is reading.

“When we teach reading, our aim is to develop confident, fluent, curious readers who read with understanding and pleasure.

Reading itself is very complex, so learning to read is a multi-faceted process.”

“More than decoding and building words, it is equally important that students develop a love of books. Everything is connected.

Storybooks help build vocabulary and comprehension skills and empower students as storytellers. We see the students connecting with the characters and stories. When children enjoy reading, they want to do it more. And, as with anything, the more they do it, the more confident and competent they become.”

Helen says the program supports all the connected learning that is so highly valued in the PYP. “With solid foundation literacy skills, students are able to make connections with what they know and follow their curiosity to become engaged with the world around them, as they learn how to be conscientious global citizens.”

Ava Walkenhorst (pictured here with Year 4 Co-ordinator Mike O'Neill) is on the Gardening and Compost Committee: “I have learnt to act and care for our environment by composting as well as recycling.”

InitiaLit runs through from Prep to Year 2.

Prep teacher Ava Kennedy says, “the fact that every child is receiving this consistent, high-quality instruction for their first three years of school is so powerful. The students’ growing confidence and willingness to give reading and writing a go has been amazing. They understand that they are learning to decode language, and they love it."

THINKING OUT OF THE BOX To support the Junior School’s focus on learning new positive ways to think, the Feuerstein cognitive enhancement program was introduced at Years 2 and 3. The program follows an intentional and sequential approach to learning how to think and learn effectively, constructively and creatively, making connections as they go.

Maria says the program has been adapted to support the Junior School’s learning philosophy. “It really supports our use of thinking routines and complements what

teachers are already doing. This program positions our students to think more flexibly which helps improve their problem-solving skills.”

Based on a theory of hope, Helen says there is a big focus on exploring perspectives other than our own. “Practising empathy and gratitude helps our students build confidence in the face of adversity. This means they feel like they have tools in their toolkit to be an effective learner and tackle big challenges.”

Program Co-ordinator Tanya McGowan reports, “We are seeing growth mindsets develop right in front of us! Children who were afraid of failing are embracing mistakes and challenges better than we’ve ever seen before.”

From Year 2 classroom teacher Melissa Cornell-Smith: “I love the way the Feuerstein program develops transferable thinking skills. At many points during the day I am able to say, ‘Think back to Thinking (Feuerstein) and let’s use that strategy to help us now with our reading/writing/maths.’”

" We are seeing growth mindsets develop right in front of us! Children who were afraid of failing are embracing mistakes and challenges better than we’ve ever seen before."

NEW LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

DOUBLING DOWN ON RELATIONSHIPS AND CONNECTIONS

NEW 5/6 CENTRE

Combining a love of reading with positive action

The new spaces in the 5/6C will help amplify the connections and alignments within and across learning that are integral to the PYP. It will allow the whole Junior School community to live out our philosophy through collaborative learning between students and teachers. We are already seeing students benefit from investing in one another’s learning and challenging each other in a supportive way; the new spaces will help increase those opportunities.

NEW PLAY SPACE

When Year 6 student Poppy Shields noticed how much her Year 1 brother was missing social connections during lockdowns, she wondered how other young students might be coping, especially those without siblings or without the confidence to reach out to friends. Poppy started recording herself reading picture books to be shared with young readers. We now have a bank of beautiful recordings for our students to enjoy.

Students were involved in planning and design of the new Junior School activity space.

The new adventure play space is designed for students to complete a series of physical challenges in movement – agility, balance and strength – as they work their way from one end to the other.

5/6 Centre Building progress

Year 6 students Chloe Ryan, Tom McIntyre and Josh Jeganathan reflect on their experience of collaborative learning during their Year 6 Exhibition Unit of Inquiry, ‘How we express ourselves’: “We like that we can bounce ideas off one another and challenge each other. The group aspect actually makes us stay focused but there’s also a drive between us to be more productive.”

Tom, Josh and Chloe

Co-Deputy Head and Head of Junior School Mark Warwick says that the two large vegetable gardens and quiet seating area also offer important learning spaces.

“Students will be able to tend the gardens, connecting with the environment and their time at the Mount Rowan Campus, or spend time sitting quietly. In the years to come this area will be shaded by some beautiful apple and pear trees.”

Mark says the design of the space has come from student voice. “Year 5 students were asked to imagine the space, with consideration for factors such as access and safety. The space is designed as a river flowing through the course with a riverbank and grass areas on either side, and the natural timber and colours fit beautifully with the sanctuary that adjoins the space.”

The true meaning of buddies Amid periods of learning from home, Year 6 students recorded a video message to their Prep buddies as a way of checking in on them.

JOURNEYS OF PERSONAL GROWTH

Year 9 Glenelg River Camp

BOOMAL ACK A | 9

Outdoor Education Co-ordinator (and Old Grammarian, 1995) David Marriott is feeling a strong sense of hope about running a full Outdoor Education program in 2022 as COVID restrictions ease even further.

“ I’m excited about getting students back out into nature and experiencing all the great activities again.

When you haven’t been able to do it, there’s an extra sense of appreciation. It feels like a reward for all the uncertainty.”

David says that spending extended time out in the bush away from the pressures of modern life gives young people the chance to fully immerse in the adventure and embrace both the challenges and the joy. “Experiential learning provides valuable opportunities for self-reflection and personal growth. Resilience has been battered during the pandemic, and young people need opportunities to build character and resilience that support their wellbeing.

A lot of our students don’t get to go into the bush much or go camping, so it’s great that we can provide this opportunity for them.”

Students being with their peers and adults away from school in a challenging environment highlights the need to work together. “I love watching them support each other when someone is struggling, or pushing themselves for the sake of the team… seeing students from different backgrounds and experiences connecting and working as one unit. For the small minority of students who struggle with the idea of going on camp, there’s a big sense of achievement when they come out the other side having had a positive experience and one of personal growth.”

NEW OPPORTUNITIES Always looking for ways to offer more and better learning experiences for students, David has been working on new and exciting changes to the program, developing more extended, journey-based opportunities that involve a real purpose of moving from point A to point B. Year 9 Extended Journey Plans for an ambitious 15-day extended journey for all Year 9 students will be ready to go in 2022. The multi-leg journey will start at Mount Stirling with students spending six to seven days bushwalking in the high country, working their way down to Lake Eildon. They will then spend three to four days journeying across the lake in sea kayaks before embarking on a cycle touring leg and ultimately paddling down the Yarra River to finish at City Cite, linking in with their Year 9 Melbourne Experience.

David says the challenging adventure is designed to take students well away from their normal lives and push them out of their comfort zone. “Students will need to use teamwork and communication to achieve their goals, providing plenty of opportunities for selfreflection and personal growth.”

T H E VA LU E O F S TA F F ON CAMPS David says the students benefit enormously from seeing their teachers and other adults from the School in a more relaxed environment. Sharing activities and facing challenges together leads to connections on a different level.

While Grammar teachers go on camp as part of their role, increasingly, non-teaching staff are taking up the opportunity.

School Registrar Sue Clifford loves school camps. Since starting at Grammar in 2017, she has been on a Year 7 Lake Eildon camp, a Year 8 Murray River camp, and a Year 8 Timber Creek trip.

“ Students are the whole reason I work in a school. It brings me great pleasure to see a young person growing and thriving outside their academic environment."

"I love that it’s often the students you don’t expect who come away shining.

Camps are a chance to step away from behind the computer and into our great outdoors. They’re a great way for teaching and non-teaching staff members to engage with and guide our students – to walk beside a student who is out of their comfort zone is a great privilege.”

OUTDOOR ADVENTURE IN 2021 While we weren’t able to run our full Outdoor Education program this year due to the impact of COVID-19, we managed to run some great trips.

Alpine Camp Our optional 6-day back country alpine camp for Year 10s is a challenging adventure which rewards students for pushing themselves outside their comfort zone. We were very fortunate to be able to run this camp in between lockdowns in 2021.

Glenelg River Camp In 2021, we increased the number of days to five for this Year 9 multiactivity adventure. Year 9 student Elise Tong reflects on her camp experience.

“I’ll be honest, I was practically begging my parents to let me not go. But I’m actually really glad I didn’t go home that first day. The camp was much more enjoyable than I thought it would be, and the challenges our group faced together [lots of rain] certainly brought out a more adventurous side of me.

Through this experience I’ve felt more optimistic, especially in the face of challenging situations such as lockdowns. I now see how it [camp] can help you gain a better understanding of those around you and develop trust and form bonds – both with students and teachers – that you can’t do purely in a classroom. It can help you learn to respect others and their ideas and build confidence in your own.”

Our 3-year-old and 4-year-old Kinder children at the Centre for Early Education (the CEEd) use the spacious natural environment of our Bush Kinder area on campus to source their own learning, rain or shine, one day per week. When the situation allows, the CEEd also plans ‘excursions’ to the Mount Rowan Farm campus, where the children play in one of the revegetated areas on site and get to learn about some of the Mount Rowan farm animals including chooks, pigs, and sheep.

The Award is a development program for young people which aims to empower them to explore their full potential and find their purpose, passion and place in the world. Participants are supported to develop themselves in four areas: learning a new skill, improving their physical wellbeing, volunteering in their community, and experiencing a team adventure in a new environment.

Program Co-ordinator Jayne Craven says the program offers a real sense of achievement in activities that the participants choose. “It encourages independence and ongoing commitment. Ultimately, it broadens a student’s involvement and highlights their potential.

I would like to see our students benefiting not only from their own personal growth, but also from building new friendships with other participants from both within our school and the local community.

Ideally participants will come together regularly to share goals and offer support to each other.”

" Since starting my Duke of Ed. journey in Year 8, the most rewarding thing I’ve learned is to take every opportunity that comes up."

Year 10 student Ashlyn Hall is currently completing the Silver Award.

"Through the program I’ve been able to participate in the Police Youth Enhancement Program, improve my public speaking and attend a leadership course. Not only have these experiences helped me learn new skills but also meet new people.”

C E L E B R AT I N G SUCCESS Congratulations to OG Noah Esmonde (2020) who was named as a recipient in the Premier’s VCE Awards for his work in Ag/Hort Studies in 2020! Noah is now following his passion for Agriculture further, studying a Bachelor of Veterinary Science at Charles Sturt University. A big congratulations also to Ag/ Hort teacher Matt Dickinson who has now guided 12 students to winning a Premier’s Award in Ag/Hort. Well done all round!

A big thank you to our students and families in the Middle School and Senior School for their generous donations to the Anglicare Winter Appeal. This year we collected a large number of goods to donate to Anglicare to distribute to those in need in Ballarat. Our community also gave generously on the Casual Clothes Day to raise just over $1000, which was donated to Anglicare to support the amazing work it does in Ballarat.

Sami Regague (Year 12, 2021) is a winner of the Triple j Unearthed All-Ages tour Competition. Sami is one of our Year 12 music students who had used the pandemic to build a studio at home, complete lots of songwriting and record some of his own music. There were 1400 entries into Unearthed High this year - the most entries ever. A few of our students entered their originals in it, including Sami. Sami was chosen as a Victorian artist from the general Unearthed site - which had thousands of entries of unsigned artists of all ages. There were nine competition winners in all. Sami is planning to study music next year and work in the industry.

Among 65 schools from across NSW, Ballarat Grammar was the one Victorian representative, and won the Restocker and the Carcass sections, placing 3rd overall for our A team (3 best sheep) and placed first overall with the value of our two teams combined!

Francis Justin's 'Footy Cards as Wallpaper" National Maths competition winner!

Congratulations to all our students who entered the Mathematical Association of Victoria Maths Talent Quest and, especially, to Francis Justin (Year 2) who was selected to represent Victoria in the Year 2 category this year. His entry (pictured above), titled "AFL cards as wallpaper" went through to National level where it was judged as the winning entry. What an amazing achievement after an in-depth investigation and report!

Josh Rentsch (Year 12, 2021), was announced joint winner of the 2021 Morrish Medal, the NAB League best and fairest. Josh has been playing for the Greater Western Victoria Rebels since he started boarding at Grammar. A fantastic achievement, Josh!

Congratulations Tom McCarthy (Year 12, 2021) on being announced as The Weekly Times Heart Volunteer Awards Junior winner!

For Tom, volunteering at Ballarat’s Nazareth House aged care home started as a family affair. Before he was school age...

" Tom used to tag along with his mum to serve scones at morning tea and play games with the residents, who soon became like family."

Weekly Times Heart Volunteer Junior category winner Tom McCarthy pictured with Nazareth House resident Julie Duffy.

As he grew older, it became part of Tom’s weekly routine to chat to residents, help run activities, accompany people to Mass – and he still hands out scones at morning tea. When the aged care home was not allowed to have visitors during coronavirus restrictions and lockdowns, Tom found another way to keep up his connection with the residents, and would visit and play trumpet outside for them, including the Last Post on ANZAC Day. Well done, Tom. Mountain biker Luke Barlow (Year 12, 2021) was recently recruited to ride for team Cyclescape, preparing for team training camps, as well as state, national and international competitions next year! On finishing school this year, Luke will begin riding full time, and aims to race in New Zealand and Europe if travel restrictions allow! Amazing work, Luke. The future is bright!

FROM THE SENIOR CHAPLAIN The start of this school year was full of hope.

Final year students were buoyant; they had dodged the COVID bullet, their final year of school would be a normal one. And further down the school year levels, hopes were also high. Zoom classes and learning from home were a thing of the past. Bring on the excursions, school trips and activities we missed in 2020!

It didn’t take long for those hopes to be dampened. In fact, this school year has seen more things missed and cancelled than last year. Only now, at the end of the year, are things returning to normal. Face-to-face Chapel services resumed in November after a break of almost 20 months. It has been a long wait but it has come at a good time. This is the time of year when we begin preparations for our school Christmas services, when we start to focus on the hope of new birth and new beginnings that Christmas brings. At our first live Junior School Chapel service in November, we listened to the story of Joseph, who was betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and thrown into prison in Egypt. Nevertheless, through his foresight and planning, he was able to keep the people of Egypt and its neighbours alive through seven long years of famine.

“Was the story of Joseph a one-off, or can God still bring good things out of bad things?”, we asked ourselves. What about COVID? A forest of hands went up.

“ We got to try new things”, one student said. "We got to know our families better”. One student suggested, “We love school more because for a long time we couldn’t come”. “We have better hygiene now”, one student volunteered. “We are more resilient”, another said.

Who could fail to have hearts full of hope when our students remember how, even in these COVID times, God has brought unexpected, good things into our lives?

Turning our faces towards the year to come, the students can be confident in the promise of the prophet Isaiah that “those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

(Isaiah 40:31) The Revd Dr Timothy Gaden Senior Chaplain

FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD Choosing hope Some of you may know that David and I have recently been blessed with our first grandchild, Ernest, born to Charles (2003) and Dash in Geneva. Needless to say, we have yet to see him in person, but we live in hope at being able to do so when borders reopen.

In many ways, this year has been harder than last year. The novelty and challenge of doing things differently has been replaced by a sense of uncertainty and malaise. The pandemic has left us feeling like victims, powerless to enjoy the things that we have previously taken for granted, such as hugging our grandchild and visiting my 103-year-old mum in Singapore. Our students have had a second year of COVID disruptions, with missed

opportunities to learn together, socialise, perform, compete and explore, to say nothing of our parents yet again juggling learning-at-home and work! It seems that we are much more drawn to negative than positive situations which feed our sense of grief and loss. We also know that sitting around ruminating diminishes us.

However, we do have agency– we can change our outcomes, by choosing to focus on hope.

Hope is a rich word that implies making things better after accepting reality, without giving into distortion or despair. Choosing hope focuses attention on the good, working on things that will help and not hinder, having the courage to act, always grateful for progress made along the way.

Over a century ago, another Ernest chose not to give in to despair, but to work with hope. Ernest Shackleton was a legendary British explorer whose ship, the Endurance, was crushed by the Antarctic ice in 1915, with little hope of rescue.

Shackleton wrote, “The task now was to secure the safety of the party, and to that I must bend my energies and mental power and apply every bit of knowledge that experience of the Antarctic had given me. The task was likely to be long and strenuous, and an ordered mind and a clear programme were essential if we were to come through without loss of life. A man must shape himself to a new mark directly the old one goes to ground.”

Astonishingly, all of his 27 men survived their ordeal of nearly two years.

Shackleton’s hope involved courageous action, not wishful thinking.

Christmas is upon us, the story of an itinerant new mother giving birth in a cowshed. Yet this event was heralded by angels in heaven, signalling hope for all humankind. So, mindful of this, let us keep the faith, surrounding our children with love, and helping them step out with courage to shape a meaningful future with hope.

INSPIRING OLD GRAMMARIAN Patty in her school days as Head Girl with Barry Smith - Headmaster, Vaughan Rintoule (1987) School Captain and John Miller (1959) Board Chair.

Little things, inadvertently, make a big difference Patty Kinnersly (you may remember her as Trish) says she sees examples of community resilience and hope all around her, despite the grind of lockdowns and restrictions.

PATTY KINNERSLY Head Girl 1987

“As we adjust to life in a pandemic, I see people finding new ways – COVID-safe of course – to connect and support each other.

Simple things like neighbours checking in on each other or asking if someone needs a hand.”

For Patty, it’s vital that we build our own resilience, especially during challenging times. “One of the best ways is by looking outside ourselves… looking out for and looking after others where we can.”

BOOMAL ACK A | 17

Patty attributes her own resilience to her farming upbringing, her lifelong involvement with sport and her schooldays at Grammar.

“Grammar was really good at modelling things that have served me well in my career and my life: the importance of respecting people and the place they’re coming from; how to build good relationships; how to connect with others. I felt so supported.

We were like a family.”

She reflects on how the support she received set her up for the rest of her life. “The School invested in me. Teachers believed in me and what I could do. People fought for me.

I still go back to those moments when an adult reached out to me. They’ve had a huge influence on me.”

For Patty, sport was the place where she could express herself and the vehicle through which she did most of her learning.

“Sport was my thing. For others it was writing or music or something else, but for me sport was where I was really happy. It was where I learnt about people. About teamwork. About commitment. About how to get the best from people. About being gracious in winning and in losing. About leadership and what it means to bring people along and share power. But, mostly, it was where I learnt about myself.”

The self-belief she developed at Grammar has led Patty to a career of work and volunteer roles where she has the opportunity to help people feel connected to something bigger and part of something meaningful. For her, this is tied up in taking what makes her happy and finding a way to make that part of the bigger picture.

In her role as CEO of Our Watch, an organisation that works to embed gender equality and prevent violence against women and their children in Australia, Patty’s work involves helping people make the link between gender inequality and poor outcomes for women.

She works closely with leaders at the highest level across every setting: sport, education, industry and government, right around the country.

“I’m talking to them about building equality and respect in their workplace. About being brave enough to challenge harmful words, actions and attitudes that don’t value women as equals. I draw on all the things I’ve learnt, starting by connecting on a really personal level and, from there, being able to have really productive conversations about promoting equality and respect.”

Patty says the pandemic has amplified existing disadvantage and it’s never been more important for those in positions of leadership and decision-making to be aware of the gap between advantage and disadvantage. “From principals and teachers to the coach at the local cricket club, it’s important to understand this so we don’t inadvertently leave people behind as we move through the pandemic. We all need to make sure we’re making the effort and finding different ways to bring people together.”

Patty with current Year 10 student Hetti Jones from Echuca. Patty was at Grammar with Hetti's parents Matthew Jones (1987) and Jodie (Nicholas, 1987).~ Patty was presenting to the Year 10 cohort about the prevention of violence against women, in her role as CEO of Our Watch.

Patty’s current volunteer roles include being on the Board of the Carlton Football Club and the Australian Women’s Health Network.

“This work is about giving back, and also about opening new opportunities. I want to be part of things where I can have a positive influence and give people hope.

Little opportunities are the things that, inadvertently, make a big difference.”

Patty says it’s incumbent on each of us to contribute to community when we can. “You don’t need money or special skills. It can be really small things that you can offer, like your time, or any positive contribution.”

Patty is optimistic about what’s ahead.

“Times like COVID have happened before and people have got through by looking after each other. Of course, we have to look after ourselves too. Find what makes you happy.

They’re the things you’re going to invest in and work hard to improve on.”

Patty calls these her conditions of happiness. “These change and evolve throughout life. For me, while physical activity is still really important, nowadays I find my happiness by making sure I connect with nature every day.”

GOLDEN D E T E R M I N AT I O N Lucy Stephan

LUCY STEPHAN WAS PART OF THE AUSTRALIAN GOLD MEDAL-WINNING WOMENS' COXLESS FOUR IN THE TOKYO OLYMPICS. WE HAD A CHAT WITH LUCY ABOUT LEARNING TO ROW AT GRAMMAR, AND LIFE SINCE THEN. Congratulations on your Gold Medal, Lucy!

Could you talk us through how you came to rowing and what you love about the sport?

Oddly enough, I found rowing on a Year 6 camp to Canberra with my primary school in Nhill. We went to the Australian Institute of Sport and had a tour. As part of the tour, we went to a room that was like an interactive experience. You could race Cathy Freeman, try to jump a certain distance and one of the activities was two rowing machines connected to a TV screen and you raced each other. I thought it was cool that the harder you pulled the faster you went. There didn’t seem to be a whole lot of skill involved, it was more about your mental toughness to keep going.

When I began boarding at Grammar it was my first opportunity to actually give the sport a go. I fell in love with it pretty instantly. It gave me a place where I belonged. It also was a

sport that was pretty black and white. You made the crew if you made the boat go fast. Coaches’ discretion didn’t really play into it. I always say it’s the ultimate individual sport but also the ultimate team sport. You have to make sure you are at your absolute best. It’s not like netball where if someone is having an off day you don’t throw them the ball or you put them on the bench. You are literally carrying yourself and each other down the course. I think there is something so special about that.

Who are some of the people at Grammar who helped you along the way?

I think to start would be to go back to my very first coach, Kat Bateman, and my crew.

They made it fun. They showed me what rowing could be. Then probably who really shaped me as an athlete would be Bill Gribble (OG 1971 and long serving Grammar Rowing Coach (1998 to 2019) had so much passion for coaching and I thrived on that.

And the girls I was in the First Crew with: Paige Mackay (2010), Sarah Armstrong (2009), Annie Armstrong (2011) and Alana Heinz (2010). We were a unit that set the goal of winning Head of the Lake, and we did!

For me that was the first time I had a set a

goal for myself. It was something that I truly wanted. The three Directors of Rowing during my time at Grammar and beyond: Denzo (Bradd Denham, OG 1996, Director of Rowing 2006/07 to 2010), Luke Pougnault (Current staff member and Director of Rowing 2011 to 2015) and Sam Pullin (OG 1996, Director of Rowing 2015 to current), all helped me in any way they could, even though Luke and Sam weren’t at the School when I was there.

Also, two other places that kept me going when I was at Grammar were Hayhoe Boarding House and the Art Wing with all their amazing staff.

of Education after. I was lucky that I had parents who supported me in whatever direction I wanted to go.

What are some of the things you enjoyed about school and why?

When I first moved to Melbourne in 2010 after completing Year 12 in 2009, I studied a Diploma of Fashion Design and Technology at RMIT TAFE at the same time as rowing at Melbourne University Boat Club. In the early years of living in Melbourne, as much as I loved fashion and being creative (which I still do), rowing became my number one priority.

When I finished my Diploma of Fashion, I was acutely aware that rowing was where my heart wanted to go. So, in 2012 I began

As you have already worked out, for me, there were probably three places that were my safe places, where I felt most comfortable: Hayhoe Boarding House, which was obviously my home for three years, the Boat Shed, which was where I found my people, and the Art Wing (my other people!).

At Grammar, I was never told I had to be any different to what I was. Grammar as a school helped me find what I loved, and fostered that, then guided and supported me with subjects I struggled in, like English and Maths.

I remember coming to Grammar for a tour in 2005. I was a 14-year-old little country girl who was scared as hell to be moving away from home. Mr Rob Olston was doing the tour, and the first thing he asked me was what my interests were. My response: Sport and Art. This led to him showing us the Art Wing and the Sporting facilities along with the boarding houses. He even asked me which boarding house I wanted to be a part of.

(Hayhoe, of course, I had no interest in living in a toilet block! *Wink*). I loved being part of the Boarding House and the traditions. It was being part of something bigger than myself.

What were your career goals and aspirations when you were at school?

It feels like a lifetime ago now, but I think it was to have something to do in fashion, which could potentially lead on to working in fashion or completing my Graduate Diploma

a young age, I always thought of myself as driven, passionate and fiery but until I found rowing those traits never really shone. As much as I think sport is amazing and very important, that passion can be anything from music, writing, acting whatever you wish, as long as you love it.

I firmly believe I became an Olympic champion, not because I am the best athlete in the world, but because I love rowing. I love what it has taught me about myself, I love that grit and determination can win a race and, more to the point, I just love racing.

The glory of sport is amazing, winning is amazing, but it’s the journey along the way that makes it worthwhile. Make sure you have fun and enjoy the process. Of course, I remember winning Head of the Lake, but what stands out more in my memories are the bus trips to Geelong, training down at the Boat Shed and rooming with my teammates at rowing camp and Nationals.

What are you planning with rowing and your career over the next few years?

a double degree in Arts and Education at Deakin University while giving rowing a redhot crack. I made my first Under 23 Australian team that year and won a Silver Medal at the Under 23 World Championships. With the training commitments of rowing, I became an online student which meant having to drop the Education part of my degree. I probably spent too long trying to work out my major but found my feet and, in 2019, I completed my Bachelors of Arts in Sociology and Media.

Do you have any advice for young Grammar students?

I always say to kids: find a passion and it will open you up to so many possibilities. From

Stuart Brehaut (1996) was also part of the Australian Olympic Team for Tokyo, attending as National Coach for Badminton after he represented Australia as a player in Athens in 2004. Well done, Stu! Check out this great interview with Stu from Badminton Australia prior to the Olympics in Tokyo.

I’m taking some time to reflect. I’ve been competing internationally for almost a decade and have been living up in Penrith at the National Training Centre for 5 years. It is an intense environment.

I’m in Melbourne for the foreseeable future, working for 776BC (a sports clothing brand) as a Community Manager as well as coaching at Scotch College and Rowhaus. Paris 2024 is definitely burning in the back of my mind.

The fire is still in my belly and I still very much love the sport and training, but my priority is to spend some much longed-for time with my loved ones back home.

A GENEROUS GIFT Wayne Hankin (1962), who attended Grammar from 1956-62, turned his passion for sport into preserving the history of football in Ballarat.

Wayne was respected and a quiet achiever at Ballarat Grammar: he had a strong connection to the School and the wider Ballarat community, with an enormous passion and a great pride in history and football, particularly in relation to his beloved Golden Point.

He lived on James Street in Golden Point for most of his life and he was a major supporter and administrator of Golden Point Football

Club (now East Point) for many years. He joined the Ballarat Football League Board in the late 1970s, helping to write what was then called The Football Guide for the League. He eventually became Ballarat Football League President and was integral in passing on the history of the League to the Australian Sports Museum.

Wayne, who passed away in 2020, left a generous gift in his Will to Ballarat Grammar to support student bursaries, for which we are extremely grateful.

GIFTS TO GRAMMAR

Old Grammarian and current parent Russell Ford (1968) donated Heart of Midlothian by Sir Walter Scott, a Book Prize, signed by the Headmaster, E.V. Butler, awarded to his father, Clifford Ford, in 1927.

The Archivists, Nola and Ross Squire, thank the Old Grammarians, friends and interested community members who have donated items to the School’s historical collection in recent months.

The late mother of Wodonga resident, Bronwyn Craig, took an interest in collecting old crockery. Despite there being no family connection with our School, Bronwyn kindly made contact and donated two crested crockery items, dating from about 100 years ago, collected by her mother. Of particular interest was the spelling error in the School motto. Can you detect it?

Their thoughtfulness and generosity are greatly appreciated.

Tom Parker McCarthy (Year 12, 2021), grandson of the late Norma Parker (Crabbe, 1956), delivered some photographs of Norma and her peers in sports teams and school leader groups at Queen’s in the 1950s.

Susan Patterson (Taylor, 1958) contributed a framed photo of the Boys’ Head of Lake winning crew 1982 along with a number of photographs of Boys' and Girls' First Crews.

The 1982 winning crew was coached by her late husband and past staff member, Alan Patterson. Other documents donated included a copy of the BQOGA Constitution c.1979, correspondence between the BQOGA and OGs re the 1979 Grammar Fair Raffle and a blue T shirt produced and worn by the School group that attended the Commonwealth Games in Brisbane in 1982.

Nathan Armstrong (1990) OG and current school parent, chanced upon a photograph of the CEGS Athletic Team from 1918, over a century ago! Nathan is not related to any of the athletes. It was a welcome addition to the collection, despite the fact that we have no names for these lads. Can you assist?

Gail Sjogren, mother of Paul (1983) and Anthea (1985), Senior Mistress, 1981 to 1997, and Head of Woodbridge House, 1994 to 1997, moved to northern NSW recently to be closer to her family. We were pleased to accept a collection of School memorabilia including Woodbridge photographs and magazines, images of many very successful Public Speaking contestants she mentored.

STORIES FROM THE ARCHIVES From time to time, the Archivists are prompted by events (e.g. the Olympic Games) and queries (e.g. was my grandmother enrolled at Queen’s?) to explore the School’s historical collection and, if necessary, other sources, in search of the relevant truths. Nola and Ross Squire strive to carry out careful research and to report findings as accurately as possible.

SEARCHING FOR QUEEN’S GIRLS! Sometimes the journeys prompted by queries can be quite amazing with unexpected consequences and messages of appreciation, sometimes from individuals with no previous connection to our School.

Heather Coddington rang the School to inquire about her grandmother, Mavis Nixon, and cousins, Constance, Gladys and Elsie Bailey and their father, J.J. Bailey, Music Teacher. We were able to provide scans of several photographs including this one from 1915. Mavis is on the right in the front row. (See also Mainly About Girls, page 50 and 65)

Susan Manson contacted the School wanting to confirm the enrolment of her grandmother, Thea Coltman, at Queen's. Archival records showed that Thea attended from 1937 until Grade 4 in 1941, as a “Kindergarten” student when the Kindergarten at Queen's was the equivalent of the Junior School of today. We located a photo of Thea (below) with other Kindergarten students, taken around 1939.

And in the Queen's CEGGS magazine, M.A.G. (Mainly About Girls), December 1941, page 25, we found the following: We would like to congratulate Thea Coltman who won first place in the Kindergarten section of the Flower Show, and Margaret Thomas who came second.

Thea would have been 8 years old.

Back row: Hope Champion, Ethel Valentine, Olive Reynolds, Kath Must, Une Ure, Dolly Brown, Lillie Chamberlain, Katia Montgomery, Aimee Autcliffe Front row: Itya Doepel, Millie Gribble, Glynis Humphries, Elaine Thomas, Mavis Nixon.

The following is an extract from Heather’s appreciative response: Many thanks for your efforts in locating and forwarding the photos of Mavis Nixon and the Baileys. They were much appreciated and will be most helpful for our family history. I had not been able to procure a photo of Gladys Bailey until now. My mother who is nearly 96, and currently in hospital, will be very happy to see the smiling photo of her mother, taken in 1915. The only other photos we have of her in her youth are two serious ones taken as a member of a hockey team at Ballarat CEGGS. Heather forwarded scans of two further School hockey photographs, new to the School’s collection. A happy reciprocal outcome!

Of interest to readers will be the query from the new owners of the property leased by Esther Larritt and Sarah Hayhoe from 1891 and as the Church of England Grammar School for Girls from 1902 until 1918 as Queen’s College. The current address is 801 (rather than 803) Mair Street and the new owners are very interested in the connection of the School with the history of their new home. Refer to Sue White’s book, Mainly About Girls, pages 45 and 46. The old stables still exist today!

ANNUAL GIVING 2021 The Ballarat Grammar community is incredibly supportive, and this year has been a great example, with our generous and committed donors giving more than $124,000 to our Annual Giving campaign. These funds will help support scholarships, provide funds to invest in updating our facilities, and for programs that would otherwise not be available.

This year there was an increased number of Old Grammarians participating in the Annual Giving campaign. This exemplifies the regard our Old Grammarians have for the School, their willingness to give back to the School that gave them so much, and their commitment to educational excellence at Ballarat Grammar.

Library Redevelopment Concept

THE MUST MEMORIAL LIBRARY REDEVELOPMENT For many Old Grammarians, the various original Libraries at our predecessor Schools, and at BQAGS, hold a special place in their memory. Opened in 1979, the Must Memorial Library is not only physically at the heart of our School today, but it plays an important central role in learning at the School.

Plans for the redevelopment are currently undergoing approval, with the specified funds received through our Annual Giving campaign set aside to support the construction of this exciting project. It is expected that works will commence early in 2022.

We are looking forward to creating a larger and more functional space, and to providing many more resources to benefit our students and their learning.

To each and every donor: your generous gift is an investment in our students, and in the future opportunities we can provide, and it is wonderful to have you with us in this endeavour. We thank everyone who joined in this effort; we are so grateful for every donation.

Heinz Centre Solar Panel installation

SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY PROJECT Work is underway on the Sustainable Technology project, with an additional 80 kW solar system being added to the roof of the Heinz Centre, home to the students in Year 9.

R E N O VAT I O N O F OUR MAIN OVALS The Main Ovals are currently under renovation. The two ovals will soon be connected as one large oval, flattened and drained so that we can have full use of the oval for the duration of the year. Many of you will remember some extremely muddy football games, with a very soggy forward pocket!

The renovation of the ovals is being funded by the Beckworth Trust, and its extraordinary generosity is greatly appreciated. The John Vernon Field, the all-weather multi-sport surface to the north of the Rintel Centre, was funded by the Trust some years ago. The Trust also assisted Grammar families who needed financial support during the pandemic, and we are extremely grateful for its support of the School.

We are also looking to install lighting as part of the project (pending Council approval) which will extend the available use of the oval for training and playing beyond daylight hours.

The lighting and improved surface will create further opportunities for our students and community partners.

Julie has maintained a strong connection to the School since she graduated in 1994, including as a member of the BQOGA Committee and Past President. The Music Department was delighted to receive a very generous gift from Julie earlier this year, donating her beautiful harpsichord to the School before departing to Qatar. Director of Music Andrew Dale stated “Having access to an instrument of this quality will provide many of our students with a greater insight into early music. The Music Department looks forward to showcasing performances on this instrument for many years to come and very much appreciates this wonderful donation”.

Congratulations to Sofia Laursen Habel (2014) on the release of the newly-composed opera “Kamalarella" now available for purchase on Bandcamp (www.bandcamp.com)

One extraordinary teacher can change your life. Michael Rasmussen was educated at Christ Church Grammar New Zealand and attended Geelong Grammar from Years 9 to Year 12, where he was joint Dux before completing Honours degrees in French, Russian and Music, and a Master's degree in Russian, at the University of Melbourne. In those halcyon days teaching was considered equal to the diplomatic, business, senior government and political careers of many other Geelong Grammar alumni.

Michael taught French and English at Ballarat Grammar in 1959 and 1960. He married Dr Ron Davidson’s daughter Mary (1953).

He taught at Christ Church Grammar in Perth from 1961-1963 and then returned to Ballarat Grammar where he taught from 1964 until 1984.

The school was extremely small when Michael joined the staff - Years 1 to 12 numbered only 170 students. Teachers’ daily intellectual conversations and friendships were a strong positive.

He encouraged Year 12 students to present lectures to the rest of the class, which they

28 | BOOMAL ACK A

OLD GRAMMARIAN AND COMMUNITY N E W S (C ON T INUED) found of tremendous benefit in their life-long learning and helped their high achievement in State exams because he stimulated students’ curiosity and self-confidence.

He coached hockey for many years and also played violin from the ages of 15 to 75, and played in a Ballarat quartet for 40 years.

The annual play as well as dramatic reading of plays which Jack Dart wrote, were performed by senior students and staff at assemblies. Michael arranged the musical accompaniment for the plays. John Jones the art teacher from 1963 to 1969, created the sets and Mr Dart produced plays of such quality that students remembered their lines for decades later. The Sun newspaper's Best Actor and Best Play Awards were highlights considering the students were competing against much larger metropolitan schools.

Michael also taught Russian on Saturday mornings. He often drove his combi-van packed with senior students to Melbourne to attend plays. He also took students on school excursions to French-speaking New Caledonia. He retired from teaching to run a stud beef farm on the family’s land near Federation University. Swimming thrice weekly has kept him in good health. Michael and Mary’s four children, Amanda (1978), Jeremy (1980, dec.), Adam (1981), Tamzin (1982), attended Ballarat Grammar, a daughter-in-law, Claire (Dale, 1986), taught at the school, and the two of their six grandchildren resident in Ballarat attended Ballarat Grammar with another two currently attending! Mary is a well-known potter and lectured in Art at the Federation University for many years. His students became lifefriends of this intellectual, family man, and role model. ...........................................................

DEATHS Mary Bickerton (Hannaford, 1953) passed away in August, 2021. Mary enrolled at Queen’s CEGGS in 1952 and matriculated in 1953. Our sympathy is extended to her husband, Ron, her brothers Bryan (1950) and Peter (1957), and especially to her children, Paul (1978), Louise (1980) and Belinda (1985).

Jane Birmingham (Burrell, 1988) passed away in May after a courageous battle with bowel cancer. Jane’s funeral took place in the Chapel of St Mark with Reverend Canon Peter Treloar officiating; Jane’s family and the large gathering of her friends were comforted greatly by his ministry. Our thoughts are with her daughter, Amelia, her parents, John and Jenny, and her siblings, Emma (1991) and Nick (1994). During Jane’s seven years at our School she was a most impressive student, a Manifold girl, cheerful and good humoured, and a champion sprinter, loved and respected by her peers and much admired by staff members. An indication of Jane’s high stature and her outstanding professional contribution to the town planning industry was evident at a Memorial organised by the City of Melbourne at Melbourne Town Hall on 24 May 2021.

Her colleagues spoke glowingly, and lovingly, of Jane as an esteemed friend, Jane Burrell, Australian Junior a very dignified and Sprint Champion, U18 100M highly intelligent 12.06, Bruce Stadium, Canberra, 13 March 1988. woman and a Photo kindly supplied by beautiful person.

Our condolences are conveyed to Jenny Haymes (Faull, 1962), following the death of her husband, David Haymes, in June, 2021.

Despite David's extraordinary commitment to his school, Ballarat Clarendon College, with Jenny, he was a generous supporter of Grammar, too.

2 Year Reunion at City Cite, May 2021

NEWS AND EVENTS An update from the Ballarat and Queen’s Old Grammarians’ Association (BQOGA)

It has been a busy year in my first year as President of the Ballarat and Queen’s Old Grammarians’ Association (BQOGA) and we are grateful that we were able to hold some of our planned events including our 2015 (5 Year) Reunion, Gala Reunion for 1980, 1990, 2000 & 2010 and our 2019 (2 Year) Reunion. It is unfortunate that we had to postpone the remainder of our reunions for the year; however, we look forward to holding these reunions in 2022.

We hosted our inaugural BQOGA Careers' Breakfast in May, focusing on careers in the Health sector. This was a great success with many Old Grammarians involved as speakers on the panel, and our senior students finding this valuable for their research into a career in health.

We are looking forward to holding more Careers' Breakfasts in 2022 and beyond.

Our Heritage Football matches were held for our boys' and girls' football teams in May and June. Both teams played well with ‘Best on Ground’ awards going to Year 12 students Sam Breuer and Jorja Jones. The teams wore the Heritage jerseys, and I was honoured to be able to present them to the boys' team before their game.

In other Old Grammarian sporting news, we were proud to watch Lucy Stephan (2009) bring home gold at the Tokyo Olympics in the rowing, and Stuart Brehaut (1996), National Coach of the Australian Badminton team for the Games. Well done to Lucy and Stuart!

We will be holding the BQOGA Annual General Meeting on 28 February 2022, and we invite Old Grammarians to attend. We welcome Old Grammarians to join our committee and help shape the future of Ballarat and Queen’s Anglican Grammar School, build connections with other Old Grammarians, and get involved in opportunities that make a difference to our School.
