Distinguished guest Mr Simon Fenwick, Chairman of the Board of Trustees Mr Howard Stack, members of the Board of Trustees, members of staff, Old Boys, guests, parents, friends and students: It is my privilege to present the 149th annual report of Brisbane Grammar School.

I have much pleasure in conveying to the community that the School’s 150th year since foundation has provided a litany of triumphs and much festivity. 2018 started with the news that last year’s graduates achieved exceptional academic results. A total of 41 students achieved an OP1, which increased to 75 OP1 equivalent students when combined with those who earned bonus ranks; and OP1 and OP2 results accounted for 30% of the year-group, the second highest on BGS historical record. The maximum possible Australian Tertiary Admission Rank of 99.95 was achieved by three students, with a further seven students achieving an ATAR of 99.90. Overall, the consistency of the Senior Class of 2017 was evidenced by the median OP 4, only achieved once before by a graduating class.

By any measure, Brisbane Grammar School students have consistently performed at the highest level. This is testament to our strong learning culture and to the overall breadth and balance of the educational experience BGS offers boys. Our students perform well in all kinds of assessments, including standardised tests such as NAPLAN, precisely because they are challenged as learners to develop the broad suite of skills in thinking, communication and metacognition essential to leading successful and fulfilling lives and careers.

The 2018 NAPLAN highlights revealed that the Year 9 results are the best in Queensland as measured across all skill domains; BGS again has the strongest results in numeracy in the state in Years 5, 7 and 9; and BGS remains the best performing boys school in Queensland across all NAPLAN measures.

Looking to the future, 2019 is year one of a transformed academic system for all Queensland high schools. Our current Year 10s, the Seniors of 2020, will undertake their studies in Year 11 and 12 with a completely revised suite of syllabuses in every subject, using a different set of assessment measures culminating in a new tertiary rank for accessing post-school pathways.

Brisbane Grammar School is a strong proponent of the new standards and our talented teaching staff have been heavily involved in trials, writing teams, marking operations, consultative groups and workshops, ensuring our organisational readiness for the transition. Our students will be very well prepared, both cognitively and emotionally, for the challenges of the new assessment regime and just as importantly the current Year 11 cohort will be well versed for the final year of the OP system.

As in any new system, there are some changes in language and process to which we will adapt. What will not change at BGS are the foundational principles of a broad liberal education and the importance of students learning to be thinkers and not simply test takers. Building our students’ critical thinking capacities to better equip them to regulate their own learning (what we term metacognition) is our strategic academic intent. Educational research consistently confirms that students who are metacognitive perform better in all modes and systems of assessment, both in and beyond school. Our commitment as a school to building Effective Thinking Cultures engages teachers and students to understand content through cognitions; to understand what they value in their thinking practice; to modify thinking as the context demands; to utilise knowledge in meaningful ways; and to understand and consciously employ the virtues of effective learners.

The education of young people requires scholarly, social and emotional instruction. It may be self-evident to say that schools

play a critical role in supporting students to make healthy choices; however, we believe firmly in the view that we have a responsibility to teach, model, build behaviour practices and deliver curriculum that supports health and wellbeing.

The School continues to augment its child safety practices. The Child Protection Committee comprised of staff, parents, external experts and students have established a framework to guide the implementation of the Royal Commission’s recommendations.

As part of the School’s commitment to the ongoing personal growth of our students, this year saw the commencement of the Extended Day Study Program. This course offers three hours of directed study and tuition two evenings a week. The feedback from students and parents has been overwhelmingly positive and student outcomes indicate that the program is valuable. The program will continue in 2019.

BGS aims to support its graduates to mature into men of character who contribute to their families and communities. The School’s Public Purpose Program fosters this ambition. Our longstanding partnership with Nursery Road State Special School flourishes as does our relationship with the Exchange at Kelvin Grove, where BGS boys tutor refugee children. Fundraising remains central to the program and we continue to support multiple community partners.

The BGS Gender Respect conversation invited boys to examine socially relevant issues such as equality and diversity and the immersion programs encouraged them to make a demonstrable difference in communities. Project Cambodia enabled Year 10 students and BGS staff to build houses and complete important infrastructure ventures. Similarly, the Cape York Indigenous Immersion permitted BGS staff and students to visit some of the most remote communities in Australia and learn from Elders in Cape York.

In line with our commitment to global citizenry, BGS takes part in many international leadership conferences. These summits provide a forum for students to globally network and explore world issues. This year, boys represented BGS at the Loudoun International Youth Leadership Summit in Virginia, others took part in the Asia-Pacific Young Leaders Summit in Singapore and space tours to the United States. International Physics tournaments and cultural exchanges remain popular.

Much closer to home our Outdoor Education program has experienced growth. At Pepperina Hill the renovation of the timber climbing tower has provided new age-appropriate height activities, and the Mt Alford and Pulpit Rock properties, purchased last year, have been transformed, ready for an official opening in 2019.

The School’s Boarding program also evolves. Boys from diverse backgrounds learn and live on campus within an environment that caters for their academic, athletic, cultural and emotional needs. In January of this year BGS completed renovations of both Harlin House Common Rooms, and the adjoining outdoor social space. A new staffing model, involving teaching staff, was employed to further enhance boarder care and academic coaching.

As one of the foundation schools of the GPS Association, Brisbane Grammar School has not only been celebrating

its sesquicentenary, it has joined other member schools in honouring the best of the association’s rich history that has made GPS 100-years strong.

While our future is bursting with options, the present has provided much to rejoice. The extracurricular program at BGS offers real choice and real independence. The School continues to manage the most wide-ranging program of its type in the GPS Association and boys continue to participate in vast numbers. Very importantly, we remain committed to guiding and developing our young athletes to compete determinedly in an intensely competitive environment.

Across all sports and activities, BGS secured GPS premierships in Swimming, Debating and Gymnastics and the School’s Sailing and Cross Country teams placed second at championship events. Most strikingly boys had success at state and national level in tennis, rugby, rowing, swimming, debating, cross country, cricket, gymnastics, water polo, fencing, track and field, volleyball and snow sports. Our senior Cross Country squad, coached by Mr John Clancy, competed at the World Championship and placed an impressive fourth.

The School’s cultural program was again grand. Grammar Community in Concert was spectacular, and another major highlight of 2018 was the concert tour of Europe. Our musicians performed in London and Paris, honoured our fallen BGS soldiers on the Western Front in France, shared their music with audiences in Warwick, Cambridge and Oxford and participated in the International Eisteddfod in Wales, where the Grammarphones placed second and our Head of Music, Mr Peter Ingram was named best conductor.

Key to the growth of high-quality Arts practice at BGS is the facilitation of an engaging Drama program. The Senior Dramatic Production, The Boy We Lost at Sea was a commissioned script written by Daniel Evans. It was one of the most memorable showcases of student comedic and dramatic talent, which resulted in an incredibly poignant and moving production. Additionally, student art exhibitions and the Old Boy collection at the Annual Art Show complemented a stunning cultural season.

While we continue to enjoy our current physical environment, master planning remains an important strategic focus of the Board of Trustees and the Senior Leadership Team to ensure the School continues producing its enviable educational outcomes in state of the art facilities. By Easter of 2019 an upgrade of facilities at Northgate will deliver an expanded, efficient and modern complex. Our sincere gratitude extends to the Wembley Club, Normanby Blues and Willow Club support groups, which each contributed to the design and funding of the upgrade, and the P&F Auxiliary, who donated a further $500,000 to realise this project.

In recent years, there has been considerable dialogue in educational circles to focus on an integrated science curriculum, known as STEM, to equip students with skills for careers in the twenty-first century. We have extensively researched the merits of the STEM agenda, and we believe the integration of Art with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics is the key to offering divergent yet necessary ways of seeing and knowing the engineered world, or the visualisation that empowers modern scientific research. Hence, Brisbane Grammar

School is driving its own STEAM agenda, integrating both the creative and scientific disciplines. The School is proceeding to the development and design phase in 2019.

As I near completion of this report it is important to acknowledge the valuable contribution of members of this community. First, I recognise the foremost influence of the members of the Board of Trustees. Their prudence and practice are critical to the realisation of agreed goals and preparation of future projects. I am indebted to the Chairman of the Board, Mr Howard Stack, who has, for many years, so capably guided the School.

In addition, my appreciation is offered to the members of the Senior Leadership Team for their untiring support of our community. I also wish to publicly thank all Brisbane Grammar School staff. I extend my appreciation for the amazing work done throughout the year; the limitless hours spent supporting the boys; and the professionalism with which they enacted the School values.

I also want to make special mention of seven long-serving members of staff, who retire this year. Firstly, Mark Brusasco, who served in many roles over a distinguished 37-year career, but none more important than as Deputy Headmaster. His contribution to the teaching of history, coaching of football and the development of fine young men cannot be overstated.

I also acknowledge the following retirees: Mr James Hill who was on staff for 41 years and the master-in-charge of fencing for decades; Mr Mark Woodford, who captivated students with his teaching of biology and who gave much time to the growth of the Football program, retires after 38 years; Mr Don Barrett, who taught Latin and in recent times mentored members of the Languages department, retired after 23 years of service; Ms Lynda Kerridge provided 23 years of invaluable administrative support to the Academic and Extracurricular departments; Mr Alex Croot served as a Sports Assistant and strength and conditioning coach for 22 years; and Mr Mark Tyszkiewicz who assisted students and BGS families in his role as school psychologist across the past 16 years.

In total that is an incredible 200 years of service to the Brisbane Grammar School community. On behalf of the School, I wish our retirees an abundant future filled with much adventure and enduring good health.

I also want to acknowledge the parents. No school can fully succeed without the support of an engaged and benevolent parent body. I thank the following people for their work in important community roles: Chris Austin, President of the Old Boys’ Association, who has worked closely with the School to fortify relations; President of the Parents and Friends’ Association Craig Chapman, who has actively supported and promoted school initiatives; outgoing President of the P&F Auxiliary Genevieve Kenny-Fowler and incoming President Julie Farr for leading an assemblage of good-natured and generous people.

I also offer my thanks and best wishes to the senior cohort. They have been a dynamic and industrious year group. The student leaders – Marcus Ray, Elliott Hunt, Harvey Nihill, Andrew

MacGibbon and Hugh Reiser – have been marvellous in their personal efforts and in their dependable leadership of the student body. The spirit and support demonstrated by the seniors at all events says much about their loyalty and commitment to the School’s ethos. We wish the Year 12s well in their future ventures.

Throughout the year the School has had much delight in celebrating our 150th anniversary since foundation in 1868. This milestone year provided us with the opportunity to not only share our rich history, but also connect with countless members of our extended community.

In addition to our normal calendar of events, this year BGS hosted innumerable celebratory events to feature this landmark. We commenced our sesquicentenary year with a Gala Dinner at Brisbane City Hall; treasured a Royal Visit from the Earl of Wessex Prince Edward; held a special Grammar Community in Concert; conducted celebrations in interstate capitals; hosted regional gatherings; and international reunions. We celebrated everything sport; held the inaugural Harlin House Reunion; and importantly acknowledged our precious volunteers, donors and sponsors at our annual Celebration of our Community.

As we look towards 2019, we will be ending our BGS150 celebrations with a special event commemorating the day the School’s doors opened in February 1869. We are also looking forward to launching the official School history book written by esteemed historian Helen Penrose.

Light Dark Blue will reward those who wish to sample the School’s history, as well as readers determined to delve more deeply. This elegant hardcover book celebrates the School’s distinctive place in Queensland’s educational landscape.

In closing I extend the School’s sincere greetings for the festive season to all members of the BGS community. I hope that the summer vacation affords you time to be with family and friends and to rest after a remarkable year of celebration and achievement. I look forward to leading this community as the School embarks upon newer and bolder enterprises in 2019 and beyond.

Don Barrett

Latin teacher Don Barrett is known for his many achievements. Until recently, he was Australia’s oldest practising teacher at the age of 88; he still holds the record as UQ’s longest-serving Dean of Faculty, and he was a beloved teacher at Brisbane Grammar School for 22 years. He also brought a serious sock and tie game to school, raising sartorial standards in the staff room.

Don came to BGS in 1996, two years after he had officially retired from 42 years in the teaching profession, 34 years of which were with The University of Queensland as Dean of the Faculty of Arts. Since 1997 has been an honorary associate professor and research consultant in Classics and Ancient History at UQ. Don has written 73 published articles and has authored four books and four educational videos.

Don is smart, kind, patient, hardworking and loyal to his colleagues. He was a classroom teacher for most of his time at BGS. Students loved Don. They loved his ‘Grammar raps’ in which points of Latin grammar were read out as a class in the form of a rap song. Don was known to bring in his harmonica and have the students sing along in Latin, or sing songs about Latin vocabulary or grammar. One that students particularly enjoyed was singing Gaudeamus Igitur as a class in their last week of Year 12 (UQ also uses the song in its graduation program). Even students who weren’t taught by Don asked to partake in the tradition.

In recent years Don worked as a Latin Language Assistant. In this role he has mentored our Latin

Chad Baxter

Chad Baxter joined the Economics and Geography Departments at the start of 2017, and we would like to thank Chad for his service. Chad was a positive contributor to our departments and was instrumental in improving our teaching and learning resources. Chad embraced the values of the School and seamlessly fitted into our departments. His students responded well to his teaching style and

staff with care and attention to detail, developed classroom resources, checked assessment and helped in the transition to the study of HSC Latin, which will involve a 100% external test. Don has been the Department’s go-to man on points of English grammar and in recent years reinvigorated the Languages Department academic comment banks, which was a huge task.

However, we will best remember Don’s cheerful hello and goodbyes, loud socks, swanky ties, strong curries and innovative classroom practices, such as using dog food biscuits as counters in Latin bingo. If you ever want to ensure you get back your tablet pen, then try Don’s borrowing system. When students borrow the teacher’s pen/pencil, they are required to leave a shoe. When they return the item, their shoe is returned. Ingenious!

Don retired at the end of this year, and now has more time to pursue his passion for opera and movies. He will continue to edit the UQ Alumni News and his role as the Secretary of the Friends of Antiquity.

We have been incredibly fortunate to have someone of his calibre work at BGS. We acknowledge his outstanding history of service and thank him for his invaluable contribution to the teaching and learning of Latin at BGS, and we thank him for his friendship.

Ms Jenine Sapoungis Head of Languages

appreciated his subject knowledge. In particular, students were able to improve the standard of their work due the quality of feedback Chad provided. Chad was a great team player and we were very sad to lose him. We wish him well in his future endeavours.

Ms Kate Stevenson Head of Economics

Our retiring Deputy Headmaster –Extracurricular has had a profound impact on the fabric of Brisbane Grammar School. When one looks upon the past 45 years of the School’s history, Mark’s DNA is ever present in our school’s body of work; in many of its accomplishments and finest moments. For almost four decades, Mark has demonstrated exemplary leadership in all that he has done at BGS.

Mark’s contribution to the School began in his days as a student here from 1973. Mark quickly established himself as a highly accomplished student of the humanities subjects and an outstanding athlete. In his senior years Mark was a School Prefect, Member of the Student Representative Council, a member of the First XI Cricket for two years and Captain in 1977, a member of the premiership-winning Rugby First XV in 1976 when in Year 11 and member of that team in his senior year, and a participant in the Track and Field squad each year from 1973 to 1977. He believed in the School’s mission, lived its values and used his great and varied talents to advance the School’s successes.

While never one to gloat about his triumphs, Mark’s sporting career is replete with higher honours. He was a Queensland schoolboys’ representative in soccer and rugby, and as an adult represented Queensland and Australia in football. Our retiring Deputy Headmaster Extracurricular is Socceroo #299 and a former winner of the Rothman’s Gold Medal for Best and Fairest Footballer of the year, a highly coveted honour in Queensland sport. While pursuing his football career, he successfully completed a Bachelor of Arts and Diploma of Education at the University of Queensland in 1981.

In his first decade at BGS, Mark coached cricket and rugby and was a natural manager of people. Those who have been coached by Mark will attest to his remarkable capacity to communicate effectively with students and to enthusiastically engage his players.

When finally given the opportunity to coach football, Mark turned it from a game that operated on the outer fields to the popular, healthy sport it is today. Not only did he mentor several underage teams to victory, he coached five premiership-winning First XI teams and launched the careers of players such as Matt McKay and Luke DeVere, who went on to represent Australia.

Working through discrete roles as a teacher, coach, Head of Year, Deputy Headmaster Staff and Administration, Deputy HeadmasterExtracurricular and on numerous occasions Acting Headmaster, Mark always viewed the School and its people as his primary responsibility.

Since 2003, Mr Brusasco has been the School’s Deputy Headmaster - Extracurricular, a role he has relished. He has created a culture of supporting and praising all activities equally, where he has championed the visual and performing arts, and most significantly he has lobbied persuasively for the construction of firstclass sporting facilities – Northgate, the Indoor Sports Centre, the Boatshed, the Tennis Centre and in years to come a modern home for the performing arts. These are the tangible legacies, but Mr Brusasco’s intellectual contribution embraces lessons learnt about valuing diversity, striving for excellence in all sporting and cultural endeavours and most importantly an acute and abiding understanding that the extracurricular program is from first to last about the boys and for the boys.

I will miss Mr Brusasco more than most. I have enjoyed his company, shared many life-long memories, laughed uncontrollably, sought his counsel, and collaborated on projects that have improved our school. He has always been measured in his approach to change, and has always ensured that ideas are thoroughly researched, tested and evaluated. This is his strength. When all about him are losing control, he has that rare quality to assess the situation and make the right judgement or offer sage advice. What I have learnt from him is that leadership must be enacted with strength, humanity and a commitment to excellence. He has worked tirelessly to guide, serve and strengthen our community. Now he embarks on new adventures with his wife Catherine. He goes with our blessings and an open invitation to return whenever the pull of the light dark blue draws him back to our, and his, roots.

Mark, we thank you for the years of dedication to the development of students, the professional and personal growth of staff and your devotion to the Brisbane Grammar School community. It is a legacy we will cherish and cultivate.

Mr Anthony Micallef Headmaster

Philippa Cable

Philippa Cable commenced work at Brisbane Grammar School in 2011 as a Publications Officer within the Marketing and Communications office and was primarily responsible for the graphic design of the School’s numerous marketing and communications collateral requirements. In 2015 she became the Publications Manager within the Advancement and Community Relations team and was responsible for School’s advertising campaigns and the coordination and development of the School’s marketing and communications collateral, including

the School Magazine and Grammar News. Prior to her departure in June 2018, Philippa was instrumental in helping develop the campaign for our sesquicentenary celebrations, BGS150. The School would like to thank Philippa for her seven years of service and wish her well with her future endeavours.

Ms Heather Watson Executive Director - Advancement and Community Relations

Alex commenced working at BGS in 1996 as a Physical Education Assistant. He came from the army and brought with him the skills of organisation, efficiency and diligence. Aside from his many normal duties, Alex has had many varied roles including coordination of buses, weights room supervisor, rugby coach, first aid officer at Northgate and the Indoor Sports Centre, and weightlifting club coach and coordinator.

Alex has been a tremendously loyal staff member who was always willing to be involved and adapt to the changing requirements of the department. Alex’s upskilling with computer and video editing software is but one example of his development throughout his time at BGS. His ‘dogworks’ videos as evidence for the senior samples were keenly anticipated by QCAA Brisbane Central panel members.

Alex’s concepts and input led to creating a coordinator of Athletic Development. Alex’s

commitment to the improvement of boys in preparation for competition gained the boys’ respect, particularly those involved in the weights room. These concepts morphed into weightlifting, which has seen a number of boys progress from being novices through to state and national champions.

Alex’s retirement will no doubt allow him to spend more time with his beautiful wife Ann and his family and grandchildren. This will be interspersed between time spent studying up and playing bridge, continuing to develop his backhand in tennis and cheering robustly for his beloved Rabbits.

We thank Alex for his 22 years of commitment to the School and wish him all the best in retirement.

Mr John Clancy Head of Physical Education

In December 2016 Mr Joe Rodrigues, the School’s long-serving Director of Rowing, relinquished this position due to ongoing medical concerns.

However, it was fortunate that Barnaby Eaton was available to fulfil the role. Barnaby held a similar position at Anglican Church Grammar School and is highly respected in Queensland and Australian communities. He was the ideal person to take up the reigns of leading BGS Rowing.

Barnaby’s ability to develop a strong sporting culture, particularly in rowing sheds was most

evident during his time as Director of Rowing. The coaches positively embraced his philosophy of ownership and personal accountability.

In a short period of time, Barnaby has created a legacy that is most appreciated by the BGS Rowing community. We wish Barnaby good fortune in his new position, Director of Sport and PE at St Peter’s College Adelaide.

James Gleeson

During his time at Brisbane Grammar School, James Gleeson proved himself to be an energetic, engaging and innovative teacher. He commenced his BGS career in 2014 as Middle School Core Teacher of Mathematics and Science and a Year 5 Form Tutor. Welcoming our first cohort of Year 5 students, James played an integral role in establishing an academically rigorous, yet supportive and nurturing culture for our youngest boys. Sporting a wonderful sense of humour, James was a great asset to our staff and developed positive rapport with his students.

James was a highly dedicated and innovative teacher who constantly strived to improve and share pedagogical practices for the betterment of his students. A keen mathematician, with a special interest in metacognition, James devoted a great deal of time to his work around error analysis and student self-reflection. His work in this field earned him a Teaching Innovation fellowship and the opportunity to present his

Julia Goodwin

Julia Goodwin commenced working at Brisbane Grammar School in 2012 as a Teachers Aide. In 2014 she was appointed to the position of Graphic Designer within the Advancement and Community Relations team. In this role, Julie provided graphic design support for the development of the School’s print and digital marketing and communications collateral, including the School Magazine and Grammar News Julia was instrumental in helping the School

Saron Habte

Saron Habte Joined BGS in August 2011 as a casual cleaner, working afternoon shifts in and around the Main School Campus. In June this year we bid a sad farewell to Saron, who moved interstate with her partner. We wish Saron and

findings at the International Boys’ Schools Coalition conference in Baltimore.

Balancing his commitment to the academic program with a strong involvement in extracurricular activities, James coached both basketball and cricket and coordinated Grammar Engineers. His enthusiasm for coaching and the fun he brought to each game was infectious.

James departed BGS mid-2018 to pursue a promotional position at The Gap State High School. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours and sincerely thank him for the positive contributions he made to Brisbane Grammar School.

Jackie Hartley

Jackie Hartley commenced work with Brisbane Grammar School in 2016 as a Bequest Officer within the Advancement and Community Relations team and subsequently became a Fundraising Manager. Jackie was instrumental in reviving and refreshing the School’s Bequest program and developing an Annual Giving program. Jackie was highly regarded among many of our external stakeholders, always a delight to work with and eager to help the team

James Hill

James Hill has had a long and memorable career at BGS, leaving an indelible mark on both the Library and the fencing community. He is one of only four staff members who was here both for the school’s centenary year and for its sesquicentenary year. James spent his five years of secondary schooling at BGS from 1964-1969. He then went on to receive a Graduate Diploma in Library Science from the Queensland Institute of Technology, gaining practical experience in the Biological Sciences Library and the Serials Department at UQ and at the State Library. With his library qualifications nearly complete, he applied for the position of Assistant Librarian at BGS in 1978 under the direction of the Head Librarian, Mr Bill More. When Bill retired in 1985, James was promoted to the position of Head Librarian.

During his time at BGS, James oversaw many significant transitions in the Library: from the card catalogue to the online OPAC, from print encyclopedias to online databases, and from the old Centenary Library to the new Lilley Centre Library, a task which included packing, storing, unpacking and setting up nearly a kilometre of shelving and 50,000 books! James was noted for his encyclopaedic knowledge of the library collection in relation to the curriculum; he knew what everyone needed for their assignments and could put his hand straight onto it.

In addition to his library qualifications, James also brought with him a love of fencing and

where possible. Jackie left BGS in 2018 to return to Canada. We thank her for her two years of service and wish her well with her future endeavours.

Ms Heather Watson Executive Director - Advancement and Community Relations

an incredibly rich background in the sport. He became keenly interested in the sport after his sister was involved in fencing at UQ, and he started the Grammar Swords Club in 1970. James was a member of the Australian Combined Universities Fencing Team between 1971-1977; an Australian Championship Finalist in 1976 and 1977; and a member of the National Olympic Fencing Training Squad in 1978. Last year saw the celebration of the 125th year anniversary of fencing at Brisbane Grammar School and, fortyseven years after he began, James is still coaching and heavily involved in the sport. He is one of the most highly qualified coaches in Queensland and still competes in Masters’ tournaments. This past year 150 boys have competed in the Brisbane School Championship, as well as in State, Commonwealth and International competitions. James has left an amazing fencing legacy here at BGS that will enable many boys to participate in this great sport in the future.

Nothing was ever too much trouble for James. He had the manner of an English gentleman, and was always friendly, smiling and courteous to both students and staff; a characteristic that made him very popular. As one staff member said, ‘Jimmy is definitely part of the School’s history, and his retirement leaves a void in the fabric of the school.’

Mrs Cathy Oxley Director of Information Services

Debra Howell

Deb Howell left the School in February 2018 after nearly two years in the main reception. During that time Deb was the welcoming face of the School and juggled the many demands associated with a busy school reception from receiving visitors, supporting the administrative demands of the Headmaster’s and the Enrolment’s offices and providing much assistance and sometimes reassurance to current and future parents.

Howard James

For almost 12 years, Mr Howard James was the School’s Business Manager. He quietly directed the School’s finances and during that time facilitated three major developments: The Lilley Centre in 2010; the redevelopment of Centenary Building, relocation of Boarders’ Dining Room and Tuckshop, creation of the boarders’ precinct and the creation of the Maths classrooms and faculty area in 2014; and the delivery of our new Tennis Centre in 2016. He was also instrumental in assisting the School to rebuild infrastructure after the devastating storm in November 2014.

Mr James was an integral member of the School’s Senior Leadership Team and Secretary to the

Hayden Jones

Hayden arrived at Brisbane Grammar School in 2013 and was quickly recognised as a recherché breed—an IT administrator with a personality. He was instrumental in shaping what is now affectionately known as E2, and many of the process and systems used therein. Under his eye, the School’s IT department dramatically increased its ability to prepare new tablets for students. The installation time for a fleet of tablets has been reduced from anywhere up to a week down to a maximum of two days, and the time for re-installing a single computer went from 80 minutes down to 30. This not only had a significant impact on the efficiency of the whole IT department, but also made great changes as to how quickly students could get back to class when they had an issue. As computer usage has steadily increased over the past five years, the benefits of Hayden’s advancements in this area cannot be overstated.

While Hayden’s technical achievements are impressive, perhaps his greatest legacy will be

Board of Trustees. His experience in the corporate sector and understanding of the educational sector meant that he successfully drove the School’s strategic business goals and designed effective compliance, insurance and commercial strategies.

We are very grateful for the contribution Mr James made to Brisbane Grammar School. We wish him much happiness and good health in the future.

Mr Anthony Micallef Headmaster

his work with the Computer Club. Twice a week Hayden would meet with the Computer Club to discuss current IT news and teach a variety of topics covering hardware and software. But Hayden’s Computer Club was about more than just education. In today’s virtual environment, it can be challenging for young people with an interest in IT to pursue that passion in a productive manner. Hayden provided valuable guidance, so students could direct their enthusiasm appropriately, as well as an outlet for the more advanced students to showcase their skills and triumphs.

Hayden’s tenacity will ensure he seizes every opportunity offered through his new position at Moreton Bay College. He is missed by staff and students alike, and we wish him all the best.

Mr Luke Venables ICT Help Desk Coordinator

Lynda Kerridge began at Brisbane Grammar School on 22 August 1995. Nearly two and a half decades later we say goodbye, secure in the knowledge that Lynda’s contribution has been one of great significance, enriching the lives of all boys, parents and staff whom she has served. Lynda started as a Secretary working within the School’s Studies Directorate responsible for all things teaching and learning. She saw some halcyon times with “revolutionary” changes implemented in the form of Dimensions of Learning and Habits of Mind, fundamentally changing the ways boys learnt and teachers taught. In 2007 a new challenge presented, with the School establishing a dedicated extracurricular office where Lynda was to serve as Personal Assistant to me and to Director of Sport Ron Cochrane. As the friendly face of the office, she has played a most significant role in ensuring that this curricular pillar in school life complements teaching and learning, and student wellbeing.

It was inevitable really that Lynda’s personal qualities and skill set would lend themselves to jobs that transcended her day to day work

Kate McKenzie

At the end of 2016, Ms Kate McKenzie was appointed to the School to manage our Human Resources office and assist with developing and implementing efficient and effective systems to support the School’s operation.

Ms Kate McKenzie came to BGS with extensive human resource experience in professional services, mining, transport/logistics and rail. Ms McKenzie was responsible for a number of key human resource initiatives, in particular the

as a Personal Assistant. As well as serving as an enormously capable Football and Drama Administrator, she found a niche as a wonderfully successful Master-in-Charge of one of our most decorated sporting programs in Volleyball. Trophies and premierships aside, Lynda’s work with Head Coaches in Peter Gallagher and more recently Rhys Cox was benchmark practice in both this school and in the GPS Association.

Fiercely protective of her ‘direct reports’ through the years, Lynda exhibited those most precious commodities in a good Personal Assistant –integrity and confidentiality. That said, there was never any of the sycophant about Lynda, never being shy to tell you if things could be done a better way. Along with countless others, I have always appreciated the way Lynda’s dedication and passion have made BGS a better place. Having served three Headmasters in Messrs Lennox, Short and Micallef, Lynda is looking with anticipation to a very happy and healthy retirement with so very much to look forward to.

Elena Panchevska

Elena Panchevska joined BGS as a full-time cleaner in June 2012. Elena was a daytime cleaner in and around the busy Middle School precinct. Elena was also a talented baker, and we bid a sad farewell to Elena in April 2018. We wish her well in her new cake-making venture.

Mrs Nikky Nuneski Cleaning Supervisor and Administrative Assistant

Sophie commenced at the School in Term 3, 2016 as a Geography and History teacher and it was very soon evident that the School had employed a most passionate teacher. With her extensive subject knowledge, her ability to set clear learning goals and great sense of humour, Sophie easily established herself as a respected teacher among the boys. In the class room, Sophie ensured each boy was learning by engaging them with her innovative techniques. Her genuine care and support of the boys was greatly valued.

As a colleague, Sophie was most generous, sharing her ideas and resources willingly. While acting as Head of Geography for a 12-month period she firmly entrenched the setting of learning goals and checkpoints into units to improve student outcomes. Sophie was also very caring of her colleagues, sharing sage advice and a laugh when needed.

Sophie contributed greatly to the extracurricular program. In this role she assisted with the training and management of the boys during cross country events. Her easy-going manner helped calm nerves before the big meet and her positivity helped encourage the boys to achieve their best. Sophie also managed a Year 6 debating team, helping the boys to understand the roles of the speakers, topics and speech writing.

In her new role as a Learning Designer at the University of Queensland we wish her every success. Sophie will be very much missed in the Geography Department, but we are hopeful that there will still be opportunity for professional conversations as she immerses herself in this new role. We wish her well in her endeavours.

Mrs Amanda Hart Head of Geography

Andrew Robertson joined the staff at Brisbane Grammar School at the start of 2018 to teach Science and Earth Science.

Andrew was a dedicated staff member who worked hard to transition the Earth Science course towards the new syllabus and move its delivery to OneNote. He always set himself high standards and worked closely with members of the Science department to provide an optimal learning experience for the boys in his care. He developed professional networks in the wider community to ensure fair but rigorous academic standards in the Earth Science course and assessment.

Outside the classroom, Andrew was fully involved in the co-curricular side of the school. He coached both cricket and football and led the boys by example. He particularly enjoyed the development of the lunchtime Badminton Club which became a well-supported activity by the boys.

We thank Andrew for his time as a member of the Science department and wish him well for the future.

James Sharp

James Sharp worked in a number of different roles at Brisbane Grammar School over the past seven years. As an excellent tennis player and Fancutt tennis coaching graduate, once his own playing career had finished James turned his hand to coaching and successfully worked with boys of all ages and abilities throughout the course of his time here.

In 2012, James became Sports Administration Assistant in the Middle School and carried out his duties superbly. James also played a significant role in the School’s extracurricular program, coaching tennis, rugby, cricket and administratively supporting the Directors

responsible for many other programs.

James’ other sporting passion, apart from tennis, is touch football. He has played this at an elite level and worked as a coach, official and senior administrator for the past five years. James left BGS earlier this year to pursue a career opportunity in the role of coach development and program writing with Touch Football Australia, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours.

Mr Glenn McFarlane Director of Middle School Sport

Carl Smith commenced at BGS in 2010 as a specialist middle years teacher, with subject expertise in Maths and Science. He brought significant experience to our community and quickly aligned himself to the BGS model of middle schooling. It was immediately apparent Carl possessed a passion for educating students in this age group, and he quickly began contributing across the curriculum and in student wellbeing. He understood the developmental needs of middle school boys, working to build rapport and a sense of belonging in his classrooms. Carl knew his students as individual young men, seeking to understand their interests, goals and needs.

Throughout his years of service, he actively contributed to the development of curriculum in both subjects he taught. He was highly collaborative, sharing ideas and resources with colleagues. He was promoted to the position

Elliott Stitt

Elliott Stitt began at BGS as a casual gymnastics coach in 2012. Elliott moved into the role of senior gymnastics coach in 2013 following his passion to develop his coaching skills. In this role, Elliott assisted with administration of the gymnastics club and was heavily involved in the mentoring program in our GPS and Club structures. Elliott

of Curriculum Assistant - Middle School Mathematics with responsibility for overseeing the administration of the subject across Years 5 to 8. He also led the development of the extension curriculum in middle school maths.

Carl was a very willing contributor to the Extracurricular Program, particularly in sports where he had a significant role in the football program and very successfully worked as an A level coach for some years. He was also a basketball coach, involved with cross country and ran a year level mathematics support and extension club.

Carl was a valued colleague to Middle School staff, always friendly and thoughtful. He leaves BGS with our sincere thanks and best wishes.

Rachel Trolan

Rachel Trolan has been a Teacher of Drama at Brisbane Grammar School since 2014 and is a highly experienced educational leader, with a deep commitment to the School’s liberal education philosophy. She came to us with a wealth of experience in boys education and has been a champion of drama education since she graduated from QUT in 2001.

During her time at BGS she has taught across Years 5 to 12 in a diverse array of academic and co-curricular contexts. Rachel contributed to the development of a department that has experienced unprecedented growth in the School. From 40 senior students and a rotational program for Year 8, the Department now has the largest number of students studying Drama of any high school in Australia. Key to the Department’s growth was Rachel’s collaboration with Head of Department Tanya Neilsen in devising and implementing programs across the middle and senior years.

Patrick Trowse

Patrick began working at BGS in 2009 as a Middle School Core Teacher, securing employment after a successful student teacher practicum the year before. It was with great ease that he settled into the fabric of the Middle School, quickly understanding camaraderie is central to the Middle School’s success. He was a quick and willing contributor.

In his initial years he taught Drama, English and Geography – a challenge teaching across three departments in his first year of teaching – but he managed it by being quick to seek help and eager to learn.

During his early years, which coincided with the introduction of the tablet PC into BGS classrooms, Patrick was at the forefront of creating flipped video clips for Geography classes. Being one of the first in the School to use greenscreen technology he produced small clips on cognitions for teacher and student use. He ventured into employing mindfulness techniques into his classroom, and he sought to have students reflect more deeply to find ways to improve their learning. As a Year 8 Form Tutor with care for a class of thirty boys, he understood and enacted the essential elements of middle schooling without compromise.

The fellow Core Teachers Patrick shared pods with enjoyed his company, support, friendship and his good humour.

Rachel’s expertise in choreography, stagecraft and direction was instrumental in staging professional-standard theatrical productions as part of her extracurricular commitment to the School’s cultural program. She successfully co-directed a range of musicals and dramatic productions including Aladdin, Phantom Tollbooth, Taking Liberty, Cosi, KiDD and The Scene Project. Her artistry and skills in event management were essential to her role as Producer of the Middle School Presentation Afternoon and her facilitation of several of Year 5 Mass Items for that event. However, Rachel’s biggest impact was in the classroom, where she established a highly inclusive and academically rigorous culture. She was unflinchingly dedicated to the education of our young men and took pride in providing opportunities for students to become artistic risk takers and lifelong learners of the arts. We wish her all the best for the future and hope she will continue to do project-based work for us in years to come.

Ms Tanya Neilsen Head of Drama

Patrick sought new challenges, in 2014 moving to the Senior School to become a specialist Geography teacher. He carved a role for himself as the go-to-person for all in the department with technology questions. His colleagues were grateful that he helped the department employ new systems and trial Canvas before the rollout to the larger staff group. His colleagues recall his willingness to help whenever there was a technical issue, and all appreciated his patience when asked repeatedly about a task until clarity was achieved.

Patrick contributed to extracurricular activities as an enthusiastic coach of numerous sports teams and his wide-ranging skills allowed him to give much to a range of other programs. He was a coach of football, and he took on the role of Middle School Football Coordinator for a number of years. He was also a coach in track and field, had some involvement in the swimming program, and for a time he coached Middle School cricket. During his days in the Drama Department Patrick produced and co-directed Middle School productions and he was a codirector of the Junior School Production.

Over the years, Patrick has been a colleague, friend, and a contributor to our BGS community. We wish him all the best for the future.

Mark Tyszkiewicz

Mark Tyszkiewciz served as the school psychologist at BGS for 17 years, and in that time he has devoted his energy to promoting student wellbeing.

Mark joined Brisbane Grammar School at a time when there were important developments in the Student Wellbeing Program. With other members of the Student Services team he worked conscientiously to develop careers education and services, academic services and counselling services across the School.

Mr Tyszkiewicz has worked with students and their families, from Year 5 to Year 12, providing valuable support and counselling and psychological assessment for students with specific needs.

As a member of the Student Wellbeing team he has been intimately involved initiatives to promote effective learning, positive mental

Mark Woodford

Mark Woodford is a Grammar stalwart, a member of that special group of Old Boys who returned as teachers and shared their commitment to the school with generations of BGS students.

Mark started Year 8 at BGS in 1968, the year the School celebrated its centenary; now in his 43rd year of a full career at the school, he retires at the School’s sesquicentenary.

After BGS, Mark completed his Science degree at UQ, working for CSIRO, then teaching at Iona College before joining the BGS staff in 1981. Mark has been a teacher of Science, Biology, Head of Junior Science and Head of Biology in his time at BGS, but he will be most fondly remembered as the custodian of rich experiences in zoology both in and beyond the classroom.

Mark was also for many years the MiC Football (when it was still called soccer) in the pre-Northgate years, and dedicated hundreds of Saturdays to setting up and running games at Perry Park, Felberg Park, Milton State School. With teaching, sports administration and leading excursions to the reef and Moreton Island, Mark always worked long hours without complaint, because as a passionate teacher he regarded it as part of his job.

I have enjoyed many morning conversations with Mark over the years about scorpions, viruses, fish

health, good physical health, and the social wellbeing of students within the School’s care. It was Mark who wrote the School’s first wellbeing audit and over the past decade the boys’ feedback through that process has assisted the School to improve its anti-bullying practices, gain a better understanding of student needs, identify programs that they value and others that require review.

Mark’s contribution to quality care programs that focus on the whole student has created an environment where people can thrive, rather than merely survive.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Mark as a trusted colleague and friend. We sincerely wish he and his wife much happiness and good fortune as they embark on new adventures.

Mr Anthony Micallef Headmaster

gills, tapeworms, flagellum – all rich in detail, delivered with his characteristic enthusiasm. I always found Mark reflective, thoughtful, fair; he could take feedback, he could acknowledge the occasional error of judgment, he would get back to you and was always motivated by what was best for students.

Mark’s philosophy of teaching can be summarised by a few simple tenets: be passionate, have fun, insist on high standards, use analogies to make difficult concepts accessible. It is fair to say that students don’t ‘do Biology’ with Mark, they ‘live Biology’, just as Mark has lived his subject.

In retirement, I know Mark will enjoy time with Christine, his boys John and Scott, his great friend Bruce, his camper trailer, his restored MG, his fishing boat, and his further travels. Mark has already visited every continent as far as I can tell, but a trip to the Galapagos Islands is a dream he intends to fulfil. Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands in 1835, inspiration for On the Origin of Species, and it’s a quote from Darwin that I think best sums up Mark: ‘A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.’

Speech Day

The best performing academic and extracurricular students were recognised and the graduating Class of 2018 farewelled at Speech Day. The special event also provided an opportunity to hear from the School’s leaders and guest speaker BGS Old Boy Simon Fenwick ’87.

Headmaster Anthony Micallef used his Speech Day address to reflect on the School’s 150-year anniversary and a year of achievement. He wished the 2018 graduates luck, saying they would be remembered as a ‘dynamic and industrious year group’, and he praised the student leaders for their dependable leadership.

In his eloquent address, outgoing School Captain Marcus Ray spoke about the importance of community – the theme for the School’s 150-year anniversary. ‘In 150 years, much has changed

at Brisbane Grammar School,’ he said. ‘Buildings have come and gone. Students have come and gone. Headmasters have come and gone. Yet one aspect remains unchanged, impervious to the influences of time – our great sense of community.’

Board of Trustees Chairman Howard Stack reflected on the successful sesquicentenary and congratulated the Class of 2018 on their graduation. ‘To the boys who are leaving, I trust you can see that there is much still to be done to keep your school great,’ he said.

‘Your lives will inevitably take twists and turns, and will not follow a straight-line upward trend, but with the BGS motto front of mind, opportunities will present for you. You are ready to take them.’

Headmaster’s Valedictory Speech

This morning in the Great Hall we formally rounded off the process that began some years ago when these young men entered the School as boys starry-eyed and a bit unsure of what lay ahead.

Today they passed out through the doors of the Great Hall, the symbolic and architectural heart of the School, as a fine group of well-rounded young men who have much to be pleased about and who deserve the warmest congratulations for their sterling efforts, many fine achievements, their collective spirit and for being, in short, a group of respectable people. Their testimonials, which they received earlier today, record a prodigious array of talent, achievement, and – most importantly – they attest to the fine character of these young men.

There have been wonderful achievements to remember from the year: Fine music, engaging theatre, exemplary public speaking, richly exploratory artistic work, thrilling moments in sports, stellar individual performances, close-knit group efforts. It has been very busy and it’s been great fun. It is one of the special delights of teaching to see students striving and succeeding in their endeavours, and above all enjoying what they are doing. We’ve been able to rejoice in our seniors’ successes and to feel proud of the style and manner of their endeavour, even when success was not the outcome. We are hopeful that there will be further good news to come in a few weeks, when the academic results are announced.

But what I hope that these young men will remember, even more than the outcomes, will be the processes by which those outcomes were achieved and the other young men and the teachers with whom they have made the journey. That is where the most important and most enduring educational lessons have rested. That is where the friendships, and the understandings of self and others were forged.

Our speaker at the annual Speech Day recommended to the boys that they should value and seek to develop the qualities of independent thought and persistence. They are but two of the many general, but truly important personal qualities that

we would all be promoting with our young men. It is these life attributes that will be more important in the total picture than specific subject discipline knowledge, if they are to lead the happy and fulfilling lives that we wish for them.

I was particularly impressed by the exceptional way our seniors conducted themselves over the past couple of weeks, when they have naturally become excited about finishing their schooldays and moving forward in their lives. It is a great credit to them and, I think, says something significant about how they feel about their school and about themselves. I congratulate you all upon your achievements both as a collective whole and for your many wonderful individual accomplishments. We are truly proud of you.

I would like to pay special tribute to their Head of Year, Mr Craig Timms. Something perhaps of Craig’s own character has been reflected in the group, for he is a quiet, but effective doer. He also has clear and firm values and expectations, which are complemented by a strong humanity. Craig has been ably assisted by the Assistant to the Head of Year, Mr Brad Scholes, whose experience with previous Year 12 groups proved most helpful. There are also debts to Deputy Headmaster - Students, David Carroll, and to the Form teachers and subject teachers, who often play a role as educators that goes well beyond mere promotion of course knowledge.

I also wish to thank you, their parents. Thank you for entrusting your sons to BGS. Thank you for supporting them over the years in their activities. Thank you for supporting the School through the Valedictory Gift and through other appeals that have helped us to provide better facilities for our boys.

May I add my thanks to the organising committee for this evening and especially to Mrs Nicola Rahmann who has put in so much time preparing for this evening.

In this, the School’s sesquicentenary year, I will bear very fond memories of this graduating class of 2018.

School Captain’s Speech Day Address

Who are we? We are they; we are the boys of BGS.

Special Guest Mr Simon Fenwick, Chairman of the Board of Trustees Mr Howard Stack, members of the Board of Trustees, Headmaster Mr Micallef, deputy headmasters, staff, Old Boys, parents, and my peers of Brisbane Grammar School: I would like to extend to you my welcome to this special day of celebration and reflection.

In 150 years, much has changed at Brisbane Grammar. Buildings have come and gone. Students have come and gone. Headmasters have come and gone. Yet one aspect remains unchanged, impervious to the influences of time – our great sense of community. Through many trials and many tribulations our Grammar predecessors forged a collective spirit that continues to serve as our School’s very foundation, that binds our diverging paths together, and that defines who we are and what we are today.

That is our identity; that is who we are. That is what the boys of BGS embody: community, kinship, family. And that is why we gather here today. We gather here not only to celebrate the achievements of our students but also to celebrate the achievements of our community. And as the Year 12s now convene for their final whole-school gathering, I would like to look through the lens of the 2018 school vision and pay tribute to the year that now rapidly draws to a close.

Forty-five weeks ago, at this very lectern, I shared with you our vision for our community. It was a vision predicated on sincere gratitude for all those Grammar men that have preceded us. It was these people – the overwhelming majority of whom will remain unknown to us – who walked the Grammar path and laid down its firm foundations. It is their footprints and unsung stories that help guide us on our own paths and that provide inspiration for our own journeys.

But ‘Walk the Path’ was just as much a vision of the future as it was a vision of the past; we too can forge a footprint, however

great or small, and make our mark on the light dark blue. We also can leave behind something we are proud of and a path for future students to tread.

And this year, we have done exactly that. On the field, in the arena, in the music hall, in the classroom, we have represented our school with pride and with passion. Three GPS trophies we continued to fiercely defend (in Swimming, Gymnastics, and Debating) – three trophies no more significant than our other sporting victories, our remarkable theatrical productions, and our spectacular concert performances.

But it is not our successes that define us as a school; it is our effort, our enthusiasm, our endeavour, and our spirit that cultivates the culture of academic excellence and the pursuit of all-roundedness that BGS has become synonymous with today. Spirit: a cornerstone of our community and a defining feature of this year. Regardless of the occasion and regardless of the result, we have built upon this school’s collective spirit and ensured our peers receive the support they deserve.

We filled the Forum with light dark blue for the King of the Hill debate, and watched as our Senior A debaters crushed their outmatched opposition. We charged to Chandler to chant deafening war cries, to cheer continuously, and to lead our swimmers to a phenomenal victory. We raced to rugby to throng in those 343 seats and rally our First XV. Week in, week out, we were there for each other, and we walked our paths together – as a sea of light and dark blue; your overwhelming school spirit has made our paths less challenging and less lonely.

It was the Year 12s that spearheaded this great celebration and greater recognition of the unity that fastens our community together. A term ago on Oval Number 1, we stood linked in a circle, shoulder to shoulder, path to path, passionate, proud that we had completed two days of gruelling QCS not for ourselves, not for this school, but for each other. That thundering war cry and that painful, thundering charge is the greatest symbol of the kinship that binds us, we Year 12s, together. Together we shared

our visions, our values, and our dreams; together we pursued them.

Together we led this community and assisted our younger travellers as they navigated their own winding paths and contended with their own challenging obstacles. Challenging it was, I am certain, for the Form Seniors to foster friendships with the Middle School and to bridge the divide that isolates these two communities; but succeed they did, and a culture of connectedness now chains Brisbane Grammar School together.

We may be divided by our backgrounds, by our interests, by our friendship groups, and by our year levels, but what we all possess is an ardent drive to forge a defining legacy – to leave a lasting footprint on the Grammar path, on our community, and on our families. And it is clear that the footprint we have collectively formed in this sesquicentenary anniversary is one of prodigious proportions; it permeates throughout this School not because of our triumphs and our successes but because of our spirit and our unity.

Tomorrow, the Year 12s will walk through the Great Hall’s majestic oak doors, dejected to depart one chapter of life yet eager to enter another. We are contented with all that we have achieved. Now it falls to the future of Grammar – to the Year 11s and below – to bear this mantle of responsibility and to forge their footprint too. Footprints are feeble and fragile – they can be destroyed faster than they can be created. They are something that we must preserve; they are something that we must not let wash away. Be strong, be vigilant, yet I leave assured that this auditorium contains countless Grammar Men prepared to uphold the School’s mission and to continue walking the path.

Always walking there alongside you will be your teachers. As we have grown from young boys into young men, they have nurtured us, educated us, always assisted us, and always encouraged us. It is they who have fashioned a great school out of a good school and a great year out of a good year. So, I now take this opportunity to thank our ensemble of professional, experienced, empathetic masters of their trade; we are immensely grateful for your dedication and your support.

To this School’s Senior Leadership Team, to Mr Micallef, Mr Carroll, Mr Brusasco, Mr Uscinski, Mr Roper, Ms Zervos, and others: it is through your direction and your guidance that Grammar is imbued with such a unified, excelling community; it is through your commitment and your loyalty that we enter adult life resilient and respectful, embodying the virtues of the great Grammar Man – and for this we sincerely thank you.

Our deepest and most heartfelt gratitude is reserved for Grammar’s least dynamic duo: our Head of Year, Mr Timms, and our Assistant Head of Year, Mr Scholes. To Mr Timms, to his yoga moves, to his list of non-negotiables, and to his questionable fashion sense: we thank you for your unabating enthusiasm and unrelenting compassion. We thank you, Sir, for being an influential figure to many and an unwavering friend to more, for your faithfulness to this School’s cause – to the creation of thoughtful, confident men of character; and to Mr Scholes,

his great partner in crime, to his logistical wizardry, to his profound wisdom and wit, and to his quips that bring sniggers to our faces almost as quickly as his hairline recedes: we thank you too. When we have needed help most, when we have been lost and exhausted and battered and bruised, Mr Scholes has always stood by us, assisting us and reassuring us.

Standing right next to him are our parents. To the many parents who sit in this auditorium here today and to the many more who do not: thank you for your love and your leniency, for your care and your concern, and for your selflessness and your support. It is you who truly embody this School’s motto – nil sine labore –and it is you who so generously encourage us to walk this path, so that when we walk out of those great oak doors we are content with the gift that we have been conferred: this gift of a Grammar education.

And to all my fellow students: thank you for walking alongside me on this great Grammar journey. It is not this School’s name that has contributed to its long-held reputation; it is not its values, its visions, this emblem, this light dark blue. It is you –the student body – that imbue the School with such vitality, community, and distinction. I have said it a thousand times, and I will say it once more: it is a privilege to attend Brisbane Grammar not because of this School itself, but because of those with whom I attend it. It has been an honour to serve as your School Captain.

This School means a lot to me; it means a lot to many people, and I will miss a lot about it. Tuckshop prices: no. Mr Clancy’s jokes: no. Writing these 2,000-word speeches: definitely not. But I will miss the morning tea banter, the 6 am workouts, the 12 am pleas for last-minute academic assistance, the Moogerah excursions, the war cries, and the Halo sessions; even track and field training, I will sorely miss. Most importantly, I will miss you – this community, this family. We have lived together, learnt together, laughed together, and cried together, and it is with these cherished memories that I depart Brisbane Grammar School grateful for my incomparable experiences.

Finally, I would like to thank my family: to my Mum and to my Dad who have stood by me through thick and thin, who have provided me with this unsurpassable gift; and to Tomas, a brilliant brother and an even better friend. I thank you all.

This School, Brisbane Grammar School, has defined who I am. It has defined who we are – this community, this unity, our values, and our vision – for 150 years and for 150 more. Who are we? We are they; we are the boys of BGS. Thank you and farewell.

The year commenced with a visible energy as each boy entered the grounds for what would be his final year at the School. The new tie adorning the uniform was a symbol of the transition to a year that promised experiences and memories. Under the umbrellas dotted around their social space, the boys were quick to pick up from the previous year with an authentic camaraderie that to their credit and character remained until the closing moments of the year. This spirit of inclusion, support and friendship has remained a defining feature of the senior cohort of 2018.

The School’s sesquicentenary celebrations have added something extra to every experience and landmark through the year. Our student leaders encouraged the rest of the community to ‘Walk the Path’, to draw inspiration from our school’s past to shape our actions and relationships today. The team – whether it be our leadership team, prefects or sporting captains – steered from the front and walked the values of the School, while other boys found their voice and purpose in a range of committees and activities essential for the success of the year group.

The spirit fostered, built on and, importantly, maintained throughout the year was evident in the boys’ shared academic purpose during demanding assessment periods, on the sidelines,

in the audiences and in the relationships between every boy in the cohort. A clear tone of supporting one another was established early and evidenced in the collaborative learning the boys undertook together. Every morning in the seniors’ room, groups of senior boys would be huddled around desks working together on their Chemistry task, revising Latin or assisting each other with the layout of an Economics assignment. The boys have developed rich skills that will serve them well next year and beyond.

In every year, there are important milestones and 2018 was no different. The QCS tests were tackled with commitment and perseverance; every boy finished the two days exhausted, a sign the year group have given their all for one another. Committees planned assiduously for events such as the formal, academic support, senior video, spirit and public purpose. Sports events were wonderfully supported by the boys and allowed our sportsmen to dig deep when it was required. Three events with the girls next door – touch football, netball and, for the first time, a spelling bee – provided some fun during a sometimesstressful year.

The arts featured prominently in the lives of the boys. Grammar in Concert, Art shows, and Senior production, The Boy We Lost

at Sea all highlighted performances and exhibitions that were creative, nuanced and risk-taking.

Success this year would not have been possible without the tireless work and energy of teachers, coaches and mentors who assisted the boys in traversing the year. The dedicated work of the Year 12 Form Tutors must be acknowledged. Many of them have been associated with these boys for four years, and have forged strong relationships by sharing laughs and being there when times were not going so well.

The parent body has been instrumental in creating an atmosphere of support for their sons and each other. Our Year Group’s Parent Representative Nicola Rahman worked tirelessly to ensure connections between parents were nourished. Finally, the work of Mr Brad Scholes has been a source of great reassurance and guidance for the boys over the past four years. His care of and concern for each boy was unwavering and the many outcomes of this year are due to his commitment to student wellbeing.

The year group owes much to his dedication to ensuring every student made the most of his individual journey throughout the year.

I conclude this report with mixed emotions. The time is right for each boy to take the next steps to what I hope will be an extraordinary life. At the same time, you cannot work with a group of young men for six years and not feel a sense of sadness. I will miss the banter, the laughs in the social spaces, the familiar faces and morning greetings; however, I am looking forward to hearing of the paths taken by each boy over the coming years. This year group has shared something very special and they will leave behind them a legacy of brotherhood, support and inclusion. It has been an honour to be a part of their BGS education.

Mr Craig Timms Head of Year 12

Senior Formal

Formal Committee

The 2018 senior formal, held at Brisbane City Hall, was the perfect way to celebrate and detach from a strenuous term of QCS and demanding assessment. Preparations for the night started in Term 2, with the simple organisation of theming and decoration. On return in Term 3, finalisation of the finer details was completed, such as centre pieces, table arrangements and dietary requirements. These choices proved to be more difficult than we thought originally. However, with guidance and proactiveness from Mr Scholes and Ms Groenewald, these matters were sorted and planning for the night was finished.

On the night, everyone assembled in King George Square, at City Hall’s main entrance. Excitement and anticipation was

building as everyone flooded though the doors of City Hall, ready for a night of celebration.

The Kingsman theme proved to be a hit as guests utilised the complimentary plastic glasses for multiple photographs within the foyer, main hall and designated photography room. A very special thank you must go to Mr Brad Scholes, Ms Kim Groenewald, Mrs Karen Scott and the whole formal committee for their efforts to ensure the night ran smoothly and was enjoyable for all those who were involved.

Spirit Committee

Throughout this year, the main goal of the Spirit Committee was to build on the fantastic efforts of last year’s seniors and consolidate their cultivation of a united, spirited BGS culture. As we reflect on the year that was, we truly believe that every flagship event on the GPS calendar met with an overwhelming sense of enthusiastic comradery, with crowds of BGS boys flocking to championship events and Saturday sports on a weekly basis, all with the purpose of getting behind the light dark blue. We got the ball running this year with the annual coronation of our glorious mascot, King G, who ever-so-faithfully led the BGS army with utmost nobility and pride throughout the entire course of the year.

During Term 1, boys filled the stands of the Chandler Aquatic Centre and barracked for the Swimming team, who, with the support of an enthusiastic crowd, emulated last year’s success and secured a back-to-back victory in the GPS Championship. On Saturdays, the summer heat never deterred crowds from filling the Indoor Sports Centre and showing up in force to support the volleyballers, establishing a fantastic precedence of unwavering support for the rest of the year.

Term 2 saw crowds gather at the Northgate Playing Fields, with boys passionately supporting the Football teams in several home fixtures. The GPS Cross Country Championship, held at Ipswich’s Limestone Park, saw a strong number of supporters get behind the runners. Hearing ‘B-G-S!’ ring out across the valleys of Limestone not only inspired the runners through the gruelling course, but also united BGS boys of all ages in supporting their mates. Later in the term, BGS’s Gymnastic community continued their dominance in the GPS competition, securing another outright victory in front of an elated crowd of BGS boys.

The strong spirit demonstrated in the first half of the year gained traction through Term 3, with hundreds of students going out to Northgate week in, week out, in the quest to support the First XV.

The echoes of spirited war cries reverberated across the Northgate plains every home game, and provided a fitting backdrop to not only King G’s outlandish antics, but also to the brave performances of the School’s flagship team. A highlight of the term would certainly have to be the King of the Hill matchup against Terrace. Despite being an away game, the BGS crowd outnumbered the Terrace supporters twofold, and backed the boys to an incredible victory over our rivals from down the road. Later in the term, Chess and Basketball gained considerable exposure, with groups of boys supporting these sports during key fixtures.

Away from Northgate and the ISC, the spirit committee showed regular support of our non-physical extracurricular pursuits. The highlight of these activities was in a rivalry widely recognised as the ‘Great Debate’ – our fixture against Gregory Terrace in the GPS Debating competition. Year 12 boys, many of whom would otherwise rarely congregate together, flooded the Forum to witness a debate of the highest quality. Throughout the rest of the year, support was shown for music and drama performances, providing a fitting demonstration of BGS’s focus on an allrounded extracurricular experience.

There is no doubt that the Spirit Committee and its support of extracurricular activities would not have been possible without dedicated BGS boys. Therefore, we would like to thank the students that turned up week-in-week-out to support their peers; they made this year’s spirit unforgettable, and successfully continued last year’s legacy of whole-hearted and energetic support. We are very grateful to Mr Scholes and Mr Timms, not only for their guidance in planning of spirit events, but for showing up almost every weekend. Finally, we wish the best of success to the 2019 Spirit Committee; it truly has been an honour to represent the School in this endeavour.

Academic Support Committee

In line with this year’s school vision, Walk the Path, we decided that the Academic Support Committee in 2018 would be called Peer Academic Tutoring Help (PATH). Consisting of Year 12 volunteers, this group primarily focussed on the academic wellbeing of students throughout the whole school. Tutoring sessions were held three times a week in The Lilley Centre. It was great to see many senior students taking time out of their own busy schedules to share their wealth of knowledge and their experiences with younger students – a true demonstration of servant leadership.

In addition to hosting weekly tutoring sessions, the committee also hosted various masterclasses throughout the year for senior subjects in the lead up to crucial exams. The sessions were flexible in their structure – at times, they were open Q&A sessions while others were tutorials that focused on problem-solving techniques. There was certainly a strong sense of unity among the senior boys during these sessions.

Seniors also provided help sessions in both Middle School libraries to assist younger boys with their studies. On top of assisting boys with their homework, the seniors also shared fond memories of their experiences in the Middle School. The interactions between the senior boys and the younger students were admirable. It was not only enriching for the boys involved, but it also developed a greater sense of cohesion within the student body.

The success of PATH would not have been possible without a dedicated group of senior tutors. We would like to thank these students for willingly sharing their expertise with other boys. We hope that next year’s Academic Support Committee will continue to provide this wonderful service to Brisbane Grammar School.

The Senior Video Committee produces an hour-long film that serves as a visual representation of the sporting, cultural, academic and social aspects of school life in Year 12.

Students who work on the film create a tribute to our time at Brisbane Grammar School, and provide a vehicle to reminisce as the years pass. While the list of the film’s necessary components seemed huge at the start of the year, the boys’ enthusiasm saw each item slowly ticked off the list as they feverishly filmed and edited their respective activities.

Our vision for this year was to both increase student input in the video and attempt to make the video itself a more cohesive viewing experience. To achieve this, we decided to make the student voice more the focus, including more student interviews.

These interviews took place at different times and places, and involved many different interviewees, highlighting the diversity of our student body.

Responses ranged from fond memories of great sporting achievements, to more personal memories of classroom interactions. We were incredibly excited to showcase a sample of our work on Valedictory night.

Thanks go to every member of the Senior Video Committee for their work all year, fitting filming in among assessment and editing in over the holidays. The Senior Video would never get off the ground without them. Additionally, thanks must go to Mr Russell, for readily sharing his invaluable knowledge about all things videorelated, and to Mr Timms, for guiding us through this process.

The Way We Were

Year 11

Year 11 marks a significant point of change at Brisbane Grammar School. Subjects of choice, increased academic expectations and a move to a new ‘social location’ in the rainforest, are all indicators that the year group are one step closer to assuming the mantle as 2019 seniors. At the beginning of the year, I asked the group to consider three key issues and how they as young men could develop these constructs. As a result, personal responsibility, collaboration and becoming role models have been their focus this past year.

Overall, the group acknowledges the importance of building a culture that will stand them in good stead for their remaining time at the School. The social order in the group has continued to develop and change, with many boys emerging as leaders and succeeding in areas previously the domain of others. Despite the demands of Year 11, it is my pleasure to report that the positive atmosphere within the year group has continued to grow and develop. The young men in Year 11 are aware that group unity, support and tolerance for each other will be pivotal for them to reach their full potential next year.

Year 11 represents a time of continued growth and independence. While the early years of Senior Schooling focus on ‘leading self’, Year 11 sees a shift to leading others. During this year the Year 11 boys received excellent support from committed Form Tutors. The value of this work undertaken by Mr Marshall, Mrs Irvine, Mr Johansen, Ms Brookes,

Mrs Vedelago, Ms Twyman, Ms Cleary, Mr Robertson, Ms Edwards, Ms Stevenson, Mr Moloney and Ms Smith cannot be underestimated, and I am sure that the boys have, like me, appreciated their support, expertise and commitment. Mr Holzgrefe as the Assistant Head of Year has also provided support and guidance across all areas and has been pivotal in the boys’ success.

Academically this group has continued their impressive transition through the School, both in the classroom and in the numerous external academic competitions the School enters. The outstanding academic results attained by so many reflect the undoubted academic ability within this year group. A positive classroom culture plus a healthy level of academic competition has led to an environment in which students value learning and strive to fulfil their potential.

Although boys in Year 11 no longer engage in the Outdoor Education Program at Moogerah, it is pleasing to see a large number of young men continue to engage in the Duke of Edinburgh Program. I am confident that many of the group will give back to outdoor education by taking on mentoring and leadership roles as Form Seniors in 2019.

It would be impossible to accurately cover the achievements of the extracurricular sporting program this year in a paragraph or two. As in previous years, Year 11 students successfully pursued

a variety of activities with enthusiasm and success. This year saw numerous excellent individual performances, but there were excellent levels of participation and successes built on teamwork, commitment and school pride. A growing number of Year 11 boys have taken on coaching roles in the Middle School this year, which is to be applauded.

The Year 11 semiformal in conjunction with Brisbane Girls Grammar School is always a highlight. It is hoped that positive experiences such as this can be built upon in 2019 and that we can collaborate and interact with BGGS in a positive manner next year.

In cultural endeavours, numerous boys continued to take the opportunity to involve themselves in a variety of musical pursuits as well as the valuable activities of debating and public speaking. The Senior School play The Boy We Lost at Sea provided Year 11 thespians an opportunity to showcase their acting talents, while Year 11 involvement in the School’s Art program was of an extremely high standard. Musically, the group has maintained its outstanding levels of involvement and some of the best musicians in the School reside in the Year 11 cohort. This continued involvement of such a large number of boys across the full range of cultural pursuits is to be commended.

Service has continued to be a focus this year with boys involved in Public Purpose building on the support engendered by the

Cambodian immersion program in Year 10. This year the group raised money for leukemia research through Shave for a Cure, while weekly visits to Nursery Road State School have added to participants appreciation of the concept of servant leadership. The outstanding level of involvement by so many will ensure continued success in the service area throughout 2019.

This year group of young men possess outstanding potential. I have reminded them that the challenge for 2019 will be turning this potential into results. As the last year to sit the QCS test, and to operate under the existing OP system, these students have the opportunity to write their own meaningful chapter in the history of the School.

For this group of Year 11 students, the year will undoubtedly close with a deserved level of excitement and anticipation about what 2019 will hold. I look forward to the year group rising to challenges that next year will bring, and finishing their time at Brisbane Grammar School on an absolute high.

Mr Larry Carmichael Head of Year 11

Year 10

Year 10 is one of the most exciting and challenging years for parents and teachers. On the one hand, the boys begin to grow into men and to display their leadership in a variety of contexts. On the other hand, it is a time when boundaries often need to be renegotiated or redefined and when boys may be exposed to a range of situations requiring sound judgement.

The 2018 Year 10 cohort has been outstanding. While some specific achievements will be listed below, it is appropriate to make some observations regarding the overall strengths of this group. Firstly, they are defined by very high levels of participation and by excellence in a range of endeavours. Year 10 numbers in the music program, drama performances, sporting teams and public purpose activities are exceptional and the boys have enjoyed success in a range of areas as a result. Secondly, they rise to challenges and enjoy pushing their physical and intellectual limits. This was demonstrated most clearly during camps each week, and the boys who participated in the Cambodia immersion experience during the September holidays. Finally, they are kind. They look out for each other and are supportive of their peers. With these general observations in mind, it is now worth considering some specific activities that the boys have been involved in this year.

The focus of the Student Wellbeing program is on making good decisions. While we can never fully prepare the boys for every situation that they may encounter in their young lives, we can assist them by openly discussing important topics in

a developmentally appropriate way. The boys have been very fortunate this year to have listened to world class speakers discussing a range of important topics. Paul Dillon recently came to the school to present important information regarding drug and alcohol use. His advice on how to look out for yourself and for your friends in social situations resonated with the boys and will assist them in making good decisions when they are inevitably exposed to complex situations. Similarly, Brett Lee gave a hard-hitting talk on cyber safety and the potential issues surrounding social media and general internet use.

These sessions are integrated into a Student Wellbeing program that is coordinated by Ms Philippa Douglas, but implemented by the wonderful team of Year 10 Form Tutors. These teachers play a vital role in the educational experience of the boys. They are the first teachers that the boys interact with each day and they also facilitate valuable discussions every Monday during Student Wellbeing lessons. It is during this time that the boys get to unpack complex issues, and to debate and discuss these in a safe and supportive environment. The fact that many of these Form Tutors have known the boys for many years means this is often the most meaningful teacher-student relationship that the boys experience.

To further reinforce this holistic approach to education, each boy travels to Moogerah for a five-day camp. The importance of these camps cannot be overstated. The Outdoor Education team led by Mr Derek Jervis deliberately establish routines and

challenges that allow the boys to take full responsibility for their own learning and safety. I was fortunate enough to travel to Moogerah most Tuesdays to see the boys completing the high ropes course. Typically, one of the staff would talk the boys through a basic safety briefing after which the boys took full control of the activity. The boys had responsibility for pairing up, checking each other’s equipment, supporting each other through very challenging obstacles and ensuring that all safety protocols were adhered to. It was wonderful to witness and demonstrated just how mature and supportive the boys were of each other.

During the September holidays, 64 boys and 13 BGS staff travelled to Cambodia as part of a service learning experience. The trip was a huge success. I was fortunate enough to accompany the boys and spent at least two days with each of the four groups. The boys worked incredibly hard in 35 degree temperatures and in their down time played with local children. It was an absolute pleasure to be involved with the boys and my heartfelt thanks goes to the boys, parents and the BGS staff who made the trip possible. This is the sixth year that the trip has taken place and it has become a significant event in the life of the School.

The depth and breadth of the School’s extracurricular program is staggering, as is the commitment of the many boys who take advantage of the opportunities it provides. The task-specific skills that the boys learn from these activities are supplemented by the time management skills that they must develop in order

to stay on top of very demanding schedules. There is no doubt, however, that this effort is worthwhile. To be a member of a team, perform in a play, or prepare and deliver a speech produces outcomes that often cannot be measured.

While the opportunities discussed above provide an abundance of learning experiences, our core business at the school is the day to day academic support of the boys. The end of Year 10 is obviously an important milestone in this regard. Late in Term 3, the boys selected the subjects that they will study in Years 11 and 12. The vast majority of boys are very much aware of the level of effort required to attain success in their senior years of schooling and have chosen subjects which they enjoy, suit their abilities and will give them the widest range of options in their post-school lives.

The next two years are the most important in terms of how the boys define themselves as a year group. Years 11 and 12 are the most challenging, exciting and rewarding years for most school boys. The boys must aim to be there for each other during this time – sharing in each other’s successes and supporting each other in times of hardship. I look forward to witnessing their ongoing maturation as they individually and collectively reach their potential.

Mr Nick Holland Head of Year 10

Year 9

The Class of 2021 started Year 9 positively and with confidence. At this stage in their development, students often compare themselves against their chosen benchmark – social, academic, sporting – while simultaneously striving for independence, and navigating the Senior School. It can be a challenging time for all involved. The theme of 2018 was ‘skill, will and stamina’ – the ingredients necessary to traverse the obstacles and high points of Year 9 and beyond.

Boys had to adjust to the ‘new normal’ in the Senior School – multiple teachers, different expectations, changing rooms every lesson, new uniforms, the Newell Quadrangle, and a new Assistant Head of Year and Form Tutors who will travel the School journey with them. The boys completed a transitions survey, and the results informed the Student Wellbeing Program for the year. Boys chose masterclass workshops on topics such as stress management, healthy living, study skills, and time management. Guest speakers addressed mental health, cyberbullying and being safe online, stress, peer pressure, masculinity, emotional intelligence, and drug and alcohol issues. The boys were encouraged to discuss problematic scenarios and collaborate to make informed decisions. As the boys first point of contact each day, our 18 experienced Form Tutors were integral to these discussions. Many thanks to them and Mr Ged Hales. They are and will be significant mentors within the group.

Hearing boys’ stories of climbing Mt Greville, ice-covered billies and doing a morning run in frozen shoes was a feature of the Moogerah visits. Prior to departure, every class attended a workshop called ‘Being a Bloke’ led by Peer Power. This essentially addressed the different stereotypes of what it means to be a 'bloke', and many opportunities were available on camp for boys to reflect on the concepts of strength, action and character. Boys often surpass their expectations of themselves at camp, whether it be camping out for the first time, jumping off the ‘leap of faith’ despite being petrified of heights, or walking further up the mountain than they ever thought possible. These young men applied a CS4 Mindset to their goals and dug deep to achieve them, often acknowledging others’ patience, effort and grit. Thanks to the expert staff at Pepperina Hill for making this a productive and memorable time.

Whether academically, culturally or in the sporting arena, the boys committed and practised purposefully to rise to the challenge of finishing the year better than they started it. They have been encouraged to compete; not to beat others, but to surpass their own best through the development of discipline and organisation. It has been rewarding to witness many boys taking the initiative to attend Math tutorials on a weekly basis. They sat their last NAPLAN tests, became accustomed to preparing for, and sitting, semester tests in exam week and were provided with information about the new ATAR system, which

they will enter in Year 11. Many students enjoyed real success in external academic competitions, tournaments and examinations. Some of the extension opportunities on offer included the Junior Physicists’ Tournament, the Math Olympiad, poetry writing workshops, history writing competitions and trips to Europe for music and the NASA space camp.

Whether it be cricket, snowsports, chess, fencing, tennis, football, cross country or the myriad of other sporting activities on offer, the Year 9 boys embraced the extracurricular program with enthusiasm and dedication. Likewise, the cohort demonstrated great depth and breadth of participation in debating, public speaking, and music and clubs such as robotics, strategic games and the eXchange. The number of opportunities for boys to find and pursue a passion are mind-boggling.

A core school value is leadership and the Year 9 boys have developed their skills in many ways. Class Captains met regularly with the Head of Year to discuss issues and to organise projects, such as the National Day of Action Against Bullying. Many joined the Student Representative body to provide a student voice for the cohort, and lunchtime activities were organised each term to bring the group together. The Year 9 boarders have again led by example, as staff supervisors shared comments such as, “They are always studying hard in prep and are just delightful – always polite, respectful and co-operative.”

The Public Purpose Committee was also busy this year, gathering, sorting and sending clothing donations for refugees, helping refugee children at Homework Club, and organising R U OK? Day and World Teachers’ Day projects.

Thanks to the wonderful Year 9 parent community for all of their cooperation and engagement within the community and for working with us to support the boys in crossing their ‘adolescent bridge’. Special gratitude is owed to Year Level Parent Representatives Melina Vrettos and Gemma Ruddell for organising and running several parent functions through the year to keep us connected. A number of parent information evenings were very well attended, whether it was ATAR information, sexuality and relationships, or cybersafety.

I am fully confident that as this cohort of boys moves through the School, they will uphold the values that have been the source of excellence in this great institution for 150 years: learning, leadership, respect, endeavour and community.

Miss Sharee Verdon Head of Year 9

Year 8

This year has provided the Class of 2022 with a range of opportunities to live the School’s core values and leave Middle School with memories that will last a lifetime. The Year 8 students commenced with an Activities Day, which provided students with an excellent platform to forge new friendships in their newly-configured classes, and solidify existing ties with old friends. This context also provided the students with an opportunity to practise our mantra for the year: 'Change is challenging but with challenge comes opportunity'. Regularly revisiting this theme across a broad range of contexts in 2018 helped to underpin their positive approach to the increased rigour in both the academic and co-curricular domains, while also appropriately shaping their perceptions of their transition from Middle to Senior School.

The students’ Outdoor Education experience was again beautifully crafted and supported by Mr Derek Jervis and the Outdoor Education staff. Unlike previous Year 8 cohorts, groups engaged in a camping and hiking experience on Mt Greville, which historically has been the domain of Year 9 groups. While a significant increase in physical challenge, the class groups all rose to the occasion and were justifiably proud of their efforts. It was

pleasing to witness the level of support that the students afforded one another, reflecting the selfless and empathetic predisposition for which this cohort is becoming known.

Year 8 is quite a unique experience for students, as it engenders within them the sense that they are a ‘senior’ of the Middle School, and presents them with avenues to lead both their own and younger peers. The cohort displayed ‘servant leadership’ through energetic engagement in key days of action, for which the Learn2Lead Program provided focus, while active participation on the Student Representative Body and in the 40-Hour Backpack Challenge were also memorable highlights. Apart from the altruistic leadership focus, spirited inter-wing competitions and carnivals allowed Year 8 students to lead their own and younger peers by modelling appropriate engagement, organisation and support of each other in all events; the tone they established leaves a wonderful legacy.

Tireless involvement in co-curricular activities strengthened community ties within Year 8, across the broader school and wider community. Members of our cohort played critical roles in BGS success at many GPS championships this year, including,

but not limited to, swimming, gymnastics and cross country. Year 8 participation across all GPS sports and activities was remarkable, as was the highly respectful way they engaged in all contests regardless of the outcome. The cohort relished the opportunity to collaborate with their contemporaries at BGGS in ‘The Quest’, and were praised for the respectful manner in which they engaged peers and teachers alike. Students’ creativity was further showcased through their work in various signature programs, numerous music concerts and dramatic productions that took place throughout the year. In all of these co-curricular pursuits, the students were able to develop their skills and realise individual success while contributing to the communities in which they were operating.

Enabling an effective transition from Middle to Senior School was certainly a priority this year and an omnipresent focus. As the year progressed, the focus certainly sharpened with the students participating in a key rite of passage that is the Tie Ceremony. While only one day in the calendar, the event serviced many key components synonymous with ‘coming of age’ traditions from communities across the globe; it encompassed elements of ritual, community and wisdom. The element of

‘challenge’ that is also often part of such ceremonies stretches across the weeks, months and years of experiences that await these boys, and will shape them into young men of character who will contribute to the communities in which they operate.

'It takes a village to raise a child' is an African proverb that reflects the tremendous collective effort of teachers, parents and ancillary staff that have supported the Class of 2022 in their BGS journey to this point. I would like to particularly thank Mrs Mel Eveleigh for her tireless efforts as our Assistant Head of Year; the Years 7 and 8 Form Tutors of the last two years; our Year Level Parent Representative, Wendy Ricato; the Middle School Leadership Team; and Mrs Jacqui Zervos and Ms Rebecca Campbell for the roles they have played in leading the Middle School community. The Year 8 cohort enters 2019 excited and confident in what the future has to offer.

Mr Simon Conway Head of Year 8

Year 7

The Great Hall has been the centre of school life since 1881, and it was the late-January setting for continuing and commencing students to come together and begin their journey towards graduation in 2023.

The boys were asked to note the figures featured in the stained-glass windows behind the lectern and, to themselves, aspire to the feats of Shakespeare, Newton or Nelson. Similarly, the honour boards surrounding us highlighted the notable attributes of a BGS graduate: selflessness, service, and a commitment to leave a legacy that makes the world a better place. Lastly, the stars painted on the ceiling several metres above served as a reminder of our remarkable potential.

Perhaps in contrast to the imposing nature of the building, our goal for Term 1 was simple: to try and be a little kinder than is necessary. This goal reflected a key aspect of the School’s purpose: to produce thoughtful and confident men of character. How we treat others reveals our character, and we need to begin with kindness.

Students departed the Great Hall to partake in a wide array of teambuilding activities. After two days of tug-of-war, volleyball, treasure hunts, adventure projects, ice-breakers and taking on the floating inflatable obstacle course, each student felt a sense of belonging and had several familiar faces to spend their first lunchtime with.

The Year 7 outdoor education camps at Pepperina Hill enhanced this sense of camaraderie. Across five weeks, all nine classes spent two nights at camp, forming strong bonds through shared experiences. Led by their Form Seniors, each class threw themselves into pursuits such as canoeing, hiking, orienteering, cross country running and rock climbing. A night spent sleeping under the stars capped off an exhausting but rewarding few days.

Back on the academic campus, the step-up from Year 6 to Year 7 was evident in increasing rigour, volume and complexity of school work, along with increasing independence in completing assignments and exam preparation. To deal with this challenge, we focused explicitly on study skills, such as time management, revision strategies, a focused learning environment and the utilisation of graphic organisers to develop ideas. Early in Term 1, Year 7 students were also provided with their tablets, quickly becoming experts on OneNote, the use of a stylus and the importance of coming to school with a fully-charged computer.

Culturally, a certain highlight was the original Middle School musical KiDD. Performing in front of capacity crowds, Year 7 thespians wowed the audience with their choreography, singing and comedic timing. A desire to perform was also evident in the poetry slam, which saw finely-tuned and highly physical recitations of original poetry. The public speaking competition shifted performance from poetry to opinion with similarly impressive outcomes, reflecting the GPS and QDU debating success. All

students had an opportunity to perform during the Celebration of the Arts, with circus performers, multimedia storytellers, a bodypercussion battle and Street Beats – which saw close to a hundred boys come together with their drums and a noble desire to make as much noise as possible – all gracing the stage.

Athletically, Term 1 saw an incredible 15 teams from Year 7 partake in Cricket and Volleyball; sailors of all abilities testing themselves in the gusty sea breezes at Manly; and a second consecutive GPS Swimming championship. In Term 2 boys took on Limestone Park in the Cross Country championship, were introduced to Fencing, and several Year 7 teams experienced undefeated seasons in Football and Tennis. Basketball and Rugby saw many students participating for the first time, and they are to be commended on their commitment throughout the highly competitive season. The sporting year concluded with GPS Track and Field, which again saw Year 7 students making a vital contribution to the senior championship event. While interschool sport is often notably and admirably competitive, participation was key in the interwing competitions: track and field, the Middle School mile, basketball and swimming. These colourful, noisy spectacles gave everyone a chance to compete.

Throughout the year several events have taken place to engage parents in the BGS community. Along with several information sessions addressing key aspects of the academic, pastoral and

extracurricular programs, we have also had the opportunity to meet in less formal surrounds at the Father’s Day breakfast, Term 1 morning tea and a cocktail reception in Term 3. It was pleasing to see the tremendous turnout at these events, and we are grateful for the effort made by parents to attend. A sincere thank you to Year 7 Parent Representative Bertine Ommensen for her coordination of these events.

The cohort’s Form Tutors have done an exceptional job in guiding the boys through the challenges of Year 7, and the boys themselves are to be commended on the boundless energy and enthusiasm they display both within and beyond the classroom, and – perhaps most notably – on the handball courts at break times.

Mr Sam Lobascher Head of Year 7

Year 6

2018 has been a year of growth and success for the boys of Year 6. As a group they have worked together to forge a strong and cohesive cohort. A collective identity has emerged throughout the year, reflecting their high regard and appreciation for the School.

With the benefit of their Year 5 experience, the boys began their second year at BGS with confidence. They were no longer the new boys, but experienced Middle Schoolers ready to take on Year 6 challenges. Sharing this self-assuredness with the Year 5 students, they willingly showed the newest members of our community how things are done at BGS. With the new year came new form classes, and a new orientation process to re-establish bonds and build new ones. The boys threw themselves into the team building and friendship activities and quickly settled into the year.

The academic challenges of Year 6 required increased efforts and a willingness to step up to new demands. The boys’ independence and self-reliance grew as they celebrated successes and learned valuable lessons from their missteps and failures. Maintaining a positive mindset enabled the boys to develop more mature and efficient approaches to their academic endeavours. Researching historical figures, interviewing grandparents, participating in literature circles, working collaboratively during signature programs, researching global issues, designing and conducting experiments, simulating an election and creating a mock parliament were but a few of the

engaging offerings within this rich and rewarding program. When inquiring of boys what appealed to them, one is struck by the variety of their responses, a validation of our broad and diverse approach to academic development.

The opportunities to play and develop their physical potential throughout the year was another major area of endeavour the boys relished. Each sporting season brought new interest and much anticipation. This year group’s breadth and depth of participation showed their eagerness and the School was well represented by their collective efforts. Interwing events were particularly noteworthy. No quarter was given between North, South, East and West wings and the swing of results between the track and field, cross country and swimming was intensely suspenseful! The boys also donned their coloured bandannas and battled for their wing during lunchtime game activities.

One of the most anticipated and memorable experiences of the year was the trip to Canberra and the Snowy Mountains. Confronting wild mountain weather did little to dampen the boys’ enthusiasm as they made the most of their time at Blue Cow. For many, the trip was also the longest period they had been away from family and many returned feeling a greater sense of independence and self-confidence. The boys took great interest in visiting places of importance in the nation’s capital, having studied topics such as federation, government and Australia’s involvement in World War I, which enabled them to be well informed participants. The curiosity and enthusiasm

of the boys as they visited Parliament House (old and new), the High Court, Museum of Australian Democracy, Australian War Memorial, Royal Australian Mint and the National Capital Exhibition enriched their learning, and showed the value of linking real world experiences to classroom studies.

Year 6 boys also broadened their interests and skills through co-curricular activities. The Chamber Choir produced laudable performances and the non-auditioned Vocal Group grew to nearly 100 voices! The strong membership of instrumental programs showed the wonderful contribution musical development plays in the lives of the boys. The Celebration of the Arts also showcased the variety of artistic endeavour in the Middle School. The Year 6 contribution included memorable moments, as each class formed a dance group and lit up the stage with their cool costumes and well-rehearsed performances.

Inviting special guests to community events was a highlight. Boys and their grandparents swapped stories of school days at the Grandparents' morning tea, before presenting a concert to an enthralled audience. The boys’ enthusiasm and pride showed their desire to develop a strong sense of community. The annual Father and Son Morning allowed dads the opportunity to join in games with the boys. This proved to be an activity in which the adults sustained more injuries than the children, with Dads requiring much more ice!

Throughout the year the boys gained greater self-awareness and understanding of their personal development through the Student Wellbeing Program. The exploration of important topics such as positive relationships, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, digital citizenship and cyber safety offered the boys strategies and skills to negotiate complex and challenging areas for their age group. A focus on positive character-building messages and the promotion of individuals who are values driven, people-centred, appreciative of opportunity, selfmotivated in their endeavour and community-minded further supported the boys’ development. The overnight camp to Pepperina Hill in Term 4 allowed the boys to take stock and consider how they had changed as individuals and as a group. In many ways they have learned to see beyond themselves and have built an ability to support one another this year.

I extend my sincere thanks to our dedicated Form Tutors: Mr Grice, Ms Child, Ms Ragen and Mr Bloch, and Assistant Head of Year 5 and 6, Mr Shears, for their contribution to the success of the Year 6 cohort. On behalf of the whole teaching team, I sincerely thank our Parent Representative, Rachel Emery, and the team of volunteers who so generously gave their time and effort to support parents and boys this year.

Mr Paul Kenny Head of Years 5 and 6

Year 5

The Year 5 cohort have enjoyed an adventurous first year at Brisbane Grammar School. The boys’ first tentative steps have been eclipsed by a newfound sense of themselves, and they have emerged as BGS boys, confident of their place in the world.

To begin the year, the boys were immersed in an extensive orientation program. This helped them become accustomed to BGS culture, the daily routines and practices, and begin to form a positive group. Form Tutors further developed classroom culture based on the School values (Respect, Community, Endeavour, Learning and Leadership) and implemented student wellbeing units based on the theme of positive relationships. A day at Pepperina Hill, the School’s Outdoor Education facility at Lake Moogerah, was another key facet of the orientation process, with an exciting program including a low ropes course, rafting and orienteering. Selected Form Seniors provided extra support for the boys as they navigated their first term. Observing our new boys happily interacting with their seniors, playing handball and games in the playground, getting advice or some help with their locker or bag, it was clear the boys were making a positive transition to the School.

Cultivating a sense of endeavour is vital to the academic program, which offered a wide range of experiences designed to promote the boys’ engagement and develop a culture of thinking. As part of the History course, the Old Brisbane

Town excursion gave the boys an understanding of Brisbane’s early settlement. Sites visited included the Old Windmill on Wickham Terrace and the Commissariat Stores on the banks of the Brisbane River, the two oldest surviving buildings in Queensland. An adventure on St Helena Island saw the boys fall into the hands of old-time prisoners and guards (actor tour guides) who related interesting and entertaining stories of harsh penal settlement life. More than one student remarked on the boat trip home that they were grateful to be born well after this point in history! In Science, the boys took on the role of a scientist for our Savvy Scientist evening after having conducted an extensive research project. Dressed as their selected scientist, the boys showcased their discoveries and life stories to fascinated parents and teachers. The boys also enjoyed a visit by ‘Surfing Scientist’, Reuben Meerman.

Author visits augmented the English program. Marco Gliori delighted the boys with enthralling stories and poetry performances. The Library on the Lawn picnic, a new initiative, saw the boys dress in costume as a character from one of their favourite books with guest author Samantha Wheeler. Book Week was filled with a range of activities to celebrate literature. Collaborative and design thinking group activities were a feature of the Signature Program, which added yet another dynamic aspect to the learning. The active engagement was evident as they created a society in The Final Avengers and wrestled the

Sustainability Challenge. The rich and rewarding curriculum provided a strong foundation for the boys’ academic endeavours.

The opportunity to play games and develop areas of interest ensured wide participation in the co-curricular program. The boys’ efforts to develop good sportsmanship and to represent the School were commendable. The interwing events held across the year also provided much enjoyment. The enthusiasm, camaraderie, team work, friendly competition and collective cheer contributed to the year group’s development. The changing fortunes of each wing became a highlight of the term and victory was highly prized and publicised!

The cohort has been well engaged in musical offerings this year. The Immersion Music Program culminated in a wonderful concert highlighting the students’ combined efforts. The Celebration of the Arts also showcased the Year 5 Choir. Their performance of 'One Small Voice' with one great voice was a particularly memorable moment. It was not surprising that a large, confident Vocal Group emerged in Semester 2. Many also chose to participate in debating and public speaking. The Public Speaking Competition is always a highlight, and this year’s compelling finalists informed on a range of topics.

Community events were a special feature of the year. The annual Mother’s Day Morning Tea gives boys the opportunity to

express their appreciation, and they showed immense pride and excitement in being hosts to their mothers. After morning tea on the Boarder’s Lawn, the boys performed in the Great Hall. Hamish Stewart’s stirring bagpipe solo of ‘Amazing Grace’, Liam Liang’s lovely harp solo of ‘Bundaleer Vistas’ along with our poetry performers and the Chamber Choir’s rendition of ‘Enjoy the Storm’ wowed the audience. After the whole cohort had performed the final item ‘Detectives in Disguise’, no-one in the audience could disguise their delight!

The Year 5 camp to Tallebudgera in the final term is a time for the boys to reflect on their journey and look back at how they’ve grown. Of course, reflection is only possible with a generous supply of beach activities and plenty of games to play. Somewhere between the surfing and sausages was, hopefully, a moment or two when a few things crystallised, as the boys began to realise what they had achieved through the year.

This year’s success would not have been possible without our dedicated Form Tutors: Mr Littlefair, Ms Fitzgerald, Mr Shears and Mr Hunter. I extend my sincere thanks to them, and to our Parent Representative, Palingu Aponso, for their contributions this year.

Mr Paul Kenny Head of Years 5 and 6

Outdoor Education

In 2018, the Outdoor Education program continued to grow and expand with both infrastructure and curriculum development. There was a strong focus on embedding effective thinking cultures into the curriculum and some exciting infrastructure developments at both Pepperina Hill and the Mt Alford and Pulpit Rock properties.

At Pepperina Hill the renovation of the timber climbing tower was completed and now provides focused and challenging height activities to a range of year levels. The Mt Alford and Pulpit Rock properties have been transformed since their purchase in 2017, and will be ready for an official opening early in 2019. The work has included the removal of existing structures, weed eradication, campsite development, fencing and access development. Plans are being finalised for the long-term management of the protected plant species, weeds, bushfires and reafforestation of the remnant vegetation.

This work was the focus of the Moogerah Committee working bee this year. Committee President Will Siganto rallied a group of hard-working parents and Old Boys who volunteered their weekend to remove two makeshift shelters and old fences and tidy up the site. The volunteers did a tremendous job of preparing the site for student use.

This year the properties have been incorporated into the Year 10 program. The boys now select from a range of expeditions and head off on a three-day journey in small groups. This studentled experience is the culmination of Outdoor Education at

Moogerah, and it has been wonderful to see the students take such a strong and confident lead in the outdoors.

These developments have coincided with a redesign of the Outdoor Education curriculum to ensure a progressive outcomesbased program, with a focus on personal development and student wellbeing through an Effective Thinking Culture. The model ensures a progression of skills and knowledge through the five environments, including height, water, land, camping and residential experiences. These environments are the catalyst to developing the virtues of effort, positivity, endeavour, teamwork, leading self and leading others, while maintaining the core values of resilience, respect for the environment, inclusiveness and respect for culture.

The Outdoor Education teachers attended the National Outdoor Education Conference in Hobart at Easter where both academic and practitioner arms of the industry came together to explore the theme of ‘wisdom of the past – exploring the future’. The conference had a strong focus on drawing on Indigenous wisdom, links to the environment and innovation within the industry. Outdoor Education teacher Mr Dave Hills presented his PhD work on technology in outdoor education at both the National and International Outdoor Education Conferences this year.

While in Tasmania for the conference, the staff completed a kayak descent of the Franklin River to focus on skill development in moving water, to enhance the annual Nymboida

River trip available to Duke of Edinburgh participants. The Outdoor Education staff have also undertaken 4WD driver training and participated in a workshop on fatality prevention by renowned academic Andrew Brookes. This training assists us to provide industry-leading experiences in the outdoors.

It is with some sadness that I must report that an icon of the Outdoor Education program has been lost. At our Year 8 campsite, there stands a towering hoop pine tree that is the scene of high adventure for every Year 8 student. The 30-metre-high tree has provided a teamwork challenge for over 30 years, and is often reported to be the single most memorable activity of the program. Thousands of BGS students have shared the experience of being roped together to ascend the impressive trunk and branches of this specimen tree.

Unfortunately, during my visit at the start of the year, I discovered that Big John had been hit by lightning, which split the trunk of this magnificent tree. An arborist attended, and the verdict was that it may or may not survive. It was considered no longer safe for students to climb. Luckily, we have the climbing sites at the new properties to provide this type of challenge to many more generations of BGS boys.

In 2019, we plan to continue the development of the new properties with a focus on the use of Pulpit Rock. This grand feature is a volcanic plug that will provide exciting vertical challenge activities for Years 9 and 10 students. There will be a continued focus on embedding Effective Thinking Cultures into

Outdoor Education teaching, creating opportunities for greater experiential learning and the development of critical thinking.

In the centre's 42nd year of operation, we have undergone the most significant expansion and curriculum review in the history of the program, and we are prepared to take BGS boys on more wonderful and formative experiences in the outdoors.

Mr Derek Jervis Director of Outdoor Education

Harlin House

At the recent Boarding Schools Association conference in the UK, the current Headmaster of Cranleigh School eloquently concluded that boarding provided a wide range of advantages, but above all it taught young people how to live and work alongside each other, and to do so successfully both during their time at school and later in the workplace. Learning to live in a community is, of course, central to our underlying mission at Harlin House, and it is the reason why we offer so many opportunities for the boys to work, live and play together throughout the school year.

This year saw a significant change in our traditional staffing model. We have complemented our younger live-in staff with two boarding specific gap year students, and importantly, eight teachers from within the BGS community, each of whom is on duty one evening a week in Harlin House. They contribute far more to our community than one evening a week; having formed strong links with the boarders, they have become advocates for the community. The change has certainly improved the level of assistance and support offered during prep. My sincere thanks to Ms Miller and Messers Hales, Hallis, Hunter, Jackman, O’Kane, Shears, Venter and Warwick for all they have done this year.

This year also saw the conclusion of the first element of our redevelopment, thanks to the generous support of Old Boy Matthew McLennan '86. The summer vacation most certainly brought some welcome changes to the ground floor of the house, both internally and to the exterior space. As of January 2018, we now have the delight of using two refurbished common rooms, offering a wonderful kitchen facility for the boarders, a place to relax and play table and computer games, and a big screen projector for those all-important State of Origin events. Outside, synthetic turf and an amphitheatre of sandstone blocks have replaced under-used lockers. We have also installed a commercial grade barbecue, which has brought a welcome addition to the weekly menu.

Captain of Harlin House

This has been a hugely memorable year in Harlin House, with many boarders getting fully involved in all aspects of school life. From nine boys representing the rugby First XV to two boys making their competitive chess debuts, the saying 'if you want to be involved, get involved' has been our mantra. This year has also seen the emergence of some boarding specific teams with a rowing Third VIII performing heroically at the Head of the River and the Year 9 boys, under the stewardship of Mr Celm, forming their own ‘inclusive’ debating team.

The seniors in the House have a responsibility to make new boys feel at home, and we took our responsibility seriously. I remember my first year, and the apprehension of sharing my new home with a hundred or so other boys. I think that this year we have made the transition from home to Harlin House as smooth as possible for all the boys who joined the boarding family.

This year has seen some changes in staff, with eight teachers now on duty at night. While some of us were nervous about having

This year has also seen us engage via our most significant engagement program to date. We have travelled from Darwin in the Northern Territory to Kingscliff, NSW, primarily to meet our current parents but also to meet former students and parents, and indeed prospective families. We have also sought to increase our in-house events with a cocktail party in addition to the House Dinner and other various functions at school.

In closing, it would be wrong of me not to thank all of those who have contributed so much to our community. Mr Fabe and Mr Regione have been cornerstones of the residential program in recent years, and I am grateful to Mr Brady, Mr Chan and Mr Johnstone, who have all lived and worked in Harlin House this year. Thanks also to our vital Housemothers, Ms Faucett, Ms Hastie and to Ms Seddon, who do so much to keep all running smoothly.

So many staff members who work in the wider school contribute to our community. Mr Perrett, our Catering Manager; Mrs Bramley, our Health Centre Manager; and Mr Derrick, our Facilities Manager work tirelessly to serve the needs of the boarders and we remain most firmly in their debt.

Finally, I wish to thank the Year 12 boys who have helped set the tone throughout this year, but especially thank each of the prefects. Reece Dempster, Grant Morris, and Sam Williams have played vital roles in leading a dormitory of boys, ably supported by both Stirling McAvoy and Dennis Waight. However, most deserving of recognition are Hugh Reiser and Andrew MacGibbon, House Vice Captain and Captain respectively, who have led the House with great decorum and dignity, be it within the four walls of Harlin House, or addressing the whole School at Assembly.

Mr Berian Williams-Jones Director of Boarding

the teachers at 'home', feeling we might never escape school, the teachers showed an unnerving ability to switch off from school mode, and adopt a relaxed approach to the Harlin House family. There were also definite benefits in having extra help before assessment in economics, history and design technology. Knowing that almost all the tutors will be here once again next year is reassuring to the boys.

As House Captain I would like to thank the prefects in the House. Reece, Sam and Grant did a great job leading a dorm of boys, finding answers to their questions and making them feel at home. Thanks also to Stirling and Dennis for all they have done with the House families and with the weekend activities. All the seniors did a great job setting the tone for the year, and there has never been a better Vice Captain than Hugh.

We leave Harlin House with great memories and wish all the boys remaining the best in 2019.

Senior Library

This year the Library said goodbye to Mr James Hill, our longstanding Librarian, who retired after 50 years of involvement with Brisbane Grammar School. Mr Hill was a student in the School’s centenary year of 1968 and was Librarian in the School’s sesquicentenary year. Mr Hill made a significant contribution to the education of thousands of boys during his time at BGS, and students and staff will miss his friendly smile and patient help. At the same time, we welcomed Ms Kristen Hayden onto our team, a talented graphic designer who has very competently managed our digital resources and given a fresh new look to our website. We are very fortunate to have such a talented group of Library staff members who are always willing to help students and staff and share their knowledge and skills.

The Lilley Centre opens at 7.00am and is a popular and important place in the School throughout the day, with the day students leaving at 5.00pm and the boarders at 8.00pm. While the Learning Commons is a social working space, the Library has a distinct academic focus, and students appreciate the opportunity to work either individually or in groups as they research for their assignments, study for exams, catch up on homework or enjoy reading books and graphic novels. In addition, a group of Year 12 boys offers peer support and academic help on most days.

The Learning Commons continues to play a central role in the life of the School, with a multitude of different events hosted each year including our annual Tea Duel, Chopstick Challenge and Poetry Slam, as well as the Interschool Readers Cup competition, GPS Chess home games, Subject Selection evenings, Parent Information evenings, Parent Teacher interviews, seminars and conferences. The Learning Commons is an ideal place to showcase students’ artwork, which was featured at various times throughout the year, including the Photography Competition entries, Year 9 skateboards and Year 10 self-portraits, along with the fascinating Design and Technology Exhibition showcasing Year 12 students’ creativity and innovation. At other times we featured a NAIDOC Week display, Cambodia Service Trip display and BGS150 Reads display, while our ‘Music in the Learning Commons’ event featured a stunning performance on our baby grand piano by talented musicians Kai Hagiwara, and brothers Wylie and Remi Raymond playing to a packed audience.

Open Day this year followed National Science Week, and so we chose to focus our displays on the challenges facing the Great Barrier Reef and what we can do to help mitigate these. Middle School boys were encouraged to get involved by designing an underwater robot to deal with the problems caused by the crown-of-thorns starfish, and visitors had an opportunity to participate in many different activities.

Throughout the year the Library has actively supported the learning and information needs of students, with Mrs Oxley assisting all Years 9 and 10 Science and History classes with their research tasks, and Mr Kelly and Mr Russell assisting many of the Art classes. Our Library web pages are designed to deliver high-quality information to the students at any time, with our assignment guides containing links to a variety of information sources and formats: print books and ebooks, university-standard databases and thousands of educational videos. In addition, we share information about events and quality resources via Instagram, Twitter and our Library blog.

This year, the School’s 150th anniversary provided a unique opportunity to host a BGS150 Reads challenge for both students and staff. All English classes were encouraged to read 150 books selected from various categories, and this logically flowed on to become a BGS150 Staff Reads challenge, where all staff were encouraged to share their favourite authors and recommended reads. These can be found in the Books and Reading section of our Library website. Aficionados, our Year 9 and 10 Book Club, provided students with the opportunity to explore and discuss

books they had read, and shared book club meetings with BGGS also provided some lively discussions. Other clubs attached to the Library also provided boys with opportunities to explore various activities apart from reading: Mr Hills ran the Strategic Games Club; Mr Kelly ran The eXchange, a makerspace; Mr Russell worked with Year 12 boys to create the Senior Video; and Chess Club was held in the Library two lunchtimes each week.

All three of our BGS libraries significantly promote the School’s values of Learning, Endeavour, Community, Respect and Leadership, and remain essential spaces to support the boys’ learning and personal wellbeing.

Mrs Cathy Oxley Director of Information Services

Centenary Library

If you happened to venture to the second level of the Centenary Building in 2018 you would have discovered the very popular and busy space of the Centenary Library. The Years 7 and 8 students gathered here for a variety of reasons this year, be it their regular fortnightly library lessons with one of the Middle School teacher-librarians, or perhaps a visit to borrow the next book in a series they had been enjoying, or even to meet with their peers for a quick game of chess or UNO. This is a space bursting at the seams with young men learning, creating and sharing, watched over by the ever-present library mascot, Grumpy Cat. This year the library offered a variety of activities inspired by current events or student interests, which ran during the lunch breaks, decorated the library walls and filled the library screens.

Year 7 students began the year with an orientation to the library by taking part in a board game called Library Smarts. Team members were required to move their way around a board by completing challenges with the help of an iPad, while writing down expectations learnt from Grammar Man and Grumpy Cat playing cards. These lessons were met with a fantastic amount of enthusiasm and competitiveness. With the increasing popularity of gamification in education, this orientation lesson provided a fun, effective and engaging platform for students to familiarise themselves with the Centenary Library.

For four weeks in Term 1, both Middle School libraries were awash with Commonwealth Games fever. Flags from all participating Commonwealth countries hung throughout the space, and students participated in a games-related Kahoot! or created an image of Grumpy Cat at the Games using Photoshop, with winners receiving official merchandise. The celebrations culminated in a ‘mini Commonwealth Games’ day where the library was transformed into a variety of competition arenas with medals awarded to the winners. Students could choose from balloon badminton, cup stacking, a unique version of basketball and ten-pin bowling.

Regular events continue to be held this year, with Library Lovers Day offering students a chance to share their favourite books with their peers in exchange for a chocolate heart. This activity proved very popular, with the book recommendation table constantly full of students writing the title of their favourite book, a blurb and why they liked it. Their reviews have been placed into a ‘Peer Book Recommendation’ jar students can draw from when they are stuck for a new book idea.

The theme for Book Week for 2018 was ‘Find Your Treasure’ and the Middle School libraries together provided a range of fun and engaging activities to occupy students throughout the week. Students embarked on treasure hunts; competed for pirate plunder in a human version of board game Hungry Hippos; found out about Blackbeard’s lost treasure; entered trivia competitions, and even had the opportunity to dress up and take a turn in a pirate photo booth. Years 7 and 8 students and their parents were also invited to an evening with author Lance Balchin, who challenged his audience with concepts of artificial intelligence and the place robots will have in the future.

Throughout the year Centenary Library has provided students with an opportunity to discuss books and hear from their favourite authors through activities such as Readers Cup, Spring Hill Young Writers and an excursion to Brisbane Writers Festival. They have also had a chance to work individually or with others on things they enjoy through craft activities and workshops. Centenary Library is a place for everyone and a community that strives to encourage inspiration, innovation and exploration. In 2018 we have thrived as a community of readers.

Miss Dani Smith Teacher Librarian

Middle School Library

Boys, books and bean bags! These are just three of the many elements that have made up the Middle School Library this year.

It has been another busy and fun year with a vast range of activities on offer. Classes visited regularly for information skills lessons in many subjects, as well as weekly English lessons where the focus was firmly on reading. The Accelerated Reader program was used extensively with several boys reaching the ultimate goal of 500 points and the AR Hall of Fame.

To launch the year, we ran a 'Love Your Pet' photo competition. Boys were required to submit a photo of themselves and a pet reading. There was a huge response and much chatter about the entries received.

The annual Book Week celebrations were spread across the Middle School, with the highlight for boys in Years 5 and 6 being the Book Week Breakfast with guest Tim Harris, author of Exploding Endings and Mr Bambuckle’s Remarkables series. This year’s theme was ‘Find your Treasure’ and lunchtime activities saw boys playing Pirate Plunder, competing in trivia quizzes, seeking hidden treasure and dressing up as pirates for a photo booth, which resulted in each participant taking away a commemorative bookmark featuring himself as a pirate.

An exciting time was the week of celebrations leading up to the Commonwealth Games. Boys decorated Borobi cupcakes, played games such as balloon volleyball, created mascots out of Lego and participated in a trivia challenge.

A special event was organised for the first time for the Year 5s, Library on the Lawn. It was a lovely day for a picnic on the Boarders’ Lawn in August, and boys dressed as book characters, shared their favourite stories and heard from guest author Samantha Wheeler, who shared her passion for writing and protecting our unique animals.

Dinosaurs took centre stage in Term 3 with iPad apps, jigsaw puzzles and museum artefacts proving to be a hit. The annual Book Fair was most successful. The Library also provided a space for boys to create their own unofficial mini clubs including qixels, ooshies and drawing.

The year concluded with the Library monitor party, which is a chance to thank those boys who have helped keep the wheels in motion throughout the year. They have stamped and stickered books, loaned and returned items, run errands, chosen books to buy and assisted in countless other ways.

The Middle School Library has continued to grow and respond to academic and pastoral challenges throughout the year, and remains a core element of the Middle School.

Aristotle Club

A dedicated group of Year 8 students have met regularly to discuss topics designed to broaden their perspective and challenge their thinking. Ideas and thoughts from notable philosophers have provided a guide when exploring ethical issues and philosophical questions. Students have defended their positions and thought critically about topics through respectful conversations even when, at times, there were differences in beliefs and values evident in the discussions. An opportunity to pause and ponder the big questions (our place in the universe, the challenge of language, the pursuit of truth) has complemented other topics around logical and ethical decision making. Gathering on a regular basis has enhanced the depth of discussions and provided a collaborative environment that students have used to test their own thoughts and develop a willingness to modify their own thinking through the process.

Art Extension

The Art Extension programs Photography Club and Omega HB Society (drawing club) continued to be a popular extracurricular choice for many students of all ages throughout 2018. The Photography Club intends to develop students thinking and to use the media in a meaningful way. Through guided practice of various photographic techniques, images are created and critiqued. Students receive weekly challenges and can access areas within the boundaries of the school environment and landscape. The annual GPS Camera Obscura Competition also provides stimulus for the boys. The 2018 Camera Obscura Photographic Challenge results were:

Years 7 to 9

The Astronomy Club continued to meet weekly to discuss the latest in space exploration, physics and philosophy. The ongoing progress of SpaceX has been exciting, and the successful October launch of Falcon 9 consolidated the progress of the private space industry and revitalised public interest in space. It is not inconceivable that we may see the first commercial space flights in our lifetimes.

With 2018 the club saw the introduction of space exploration debates with topics such as, ‘Is it worth it to mine asteroids?’ and ‘Should humanity search for alien life?’. These debates canvassed a range of ideas and issues raised in an increasingly globalised world of space exploration and industry. These discussions fuelled the imagination of our potential scientists and engineers of the future and put a spotlight on the biggest environmental issues of today.

The night viewing in Term 2 was an enjoyable evening that featured the late arrival of a huge, full Moon rising above the BGGS campus with many craters to explore. The Galilean

Moons of Jupiter – Ganymede, Calisto, Europa and Io – also rose high in the night sky. Hundreds of years ago, these were the first objects seen to orbit another body in the universe that wasn’t the Earth or the Sun. Also of interest has been the recent ground-breaking discovery of a moon of an exoplanet. This is a true marvel of scientific measurement and reinforces the vastness of space and its infinite possibilities for humans.

This year’s Moogerah trip was a workshop on the use of simple reflecting telescopes and provided an uninterrupted period of night sky observation without the light pollution of Brisbane. This trip demonstrated the accessibility of star and planet tracking with iPhones and iPads and the practical concerns of late night viewing. Though it can be cold, and warm clothes are essential, we look forward to future night viewing events in the new year.

Athene Club

‘A little perspective, like a little humour, goes a long way.' —Allen Klein, businessman and music publisher

2018 has certainly been a tumultuous year. China became the first nation to clone monkeys; Kim Jong Un met Donald Trump; and, of course, how could we forget Harry and Meghan’s special day? There have been riots, marches, wars and elections, and we are bombarded daily by hyper-aggressive media outlets increasingly willing to sacrifice the real meat of the story for artificial colours and flavours.

It is against this backdrop that the Athene Club meets three times a term to make sense of it all. Forty astute girls and boys from Years 11 and 12 at the two Grammar schools engage in intellectual and stimulating conversations about a range of topical issues, introduced to the group via papers researched and presented by the Year 12 students.

Uncharacteristically, the group was relatively quiet early on, perhaps struggling to grasp the sheer depth of Dylan Mortimore’s examination of free will and fate, or perhaps (more likely) unwilling to reply to the revolutionary urgings of Ulric Nieminen. However, Tomas Ray’s canvassing of Australia as a republic and Will Power’s argument for compulsory voting

provided us with some solid ground, and discussions flowed more freely. Archie Owen’s paper on replacing law enforcement with bounty hunters provided the group with some comic relief after a particularly divisive discussion about affirmative action from Benji Ganko, and Elliot Hunt’s swipe at political correctness lightened the tone after Gus Peter’s sobering deconstruction of political corruption.

The girls also presented thoroughly thought-provoking and enlightening papers with topics ranging from the merit of modern art to the possibility that we are living in a simulation. Naturally, none of this year’s discussions would have been possible without the guidance of Mr Howes and his BGGS counterpart, Mr Woods.

Athene has taught us how to debunk fake news. It has taught us why we should question the world in which we live. But most importantly, it has taught us to be curious about others’ perspectives, for only then can we gain a deeper understanding of the world ourselves.

Aviation Club

Flight, with its associated feelings of freedom, has long appealed to the human imagination. Whether it’s the thought of being thousands of metres above the ground or a fascination with the mechanical inner workings of a flying machine, thoughts of flight have taken off among the 40-odd boys currently members of the Aviation Club — and we sure flew through the year.

This year, a record number of students attended regular lunchtime meetings. Thoroughly enjoyed by all, meetings were where we discussed future activities and excursions, participated in aviation-themed quizzes created by members of the club, or watched an episode of Air Crash Investigations. The library established last year was also expanded with an even

wider selection of aviation-themed books.

Earlier in the year, a group of boys travelled to Brisbane Airport early one Sunday morning with binoculars at the ready to participate in the club’s annual plane-spotting activity. It was once again a success, with students witnessing the take-off and landing of a variety of aircraft. Even with Mr Smith on leave, the Aviation Club remained dedicated. This club is certainly excited for an action-packed and fun-filled 2019.

Chang Hong Wu Shu

Around 3500 years ago, references to Chinese martial arts started appearing in historical texts and records around China. By the Qin dynasty, an early form of what would one day be known as Wu Shu, called Jiao Li, became a sport. Over the centuries the art evolved and became a manifestation of traditional Chinese art and wisdom.

In the modern world, Wu Shu encapsulates several styles and forms, with subsets and classifications for each style. The numerous classes, which define these styles, include the northern (北拳; Bei Quan) and southern styles (南拳; Nan Quan). On top of this, there are the external styles (外家拳; Wai Jia Quan), including the famous Shao Lin branch of Wu Shu, and the internal styles (内家拳; Nei Jia Quan).

At BGS, the style of Wu Shu is a combination of Chang Quan (长拳) and Hong Quan (洪拳) styles, giving the name Chang Hong Wu Shu. For ten years prior to moving to Australia, the Coach of the club, Mr James Struthers, trained in Taiwan under Great Grand Master Chen Qing Ho and Grand Master Lin Jun Ji.

In 2016, Mr Struthers received approval from the School to start a club to teach this blend of traditional Chinese art, philosophy and culture to eager students. The club trains every Monday and Wednesday morning from 6:30 to 7:45, and already contains around 30 members. Participation in the club exposes students to authentic Chinese culture and art, and for students who study the language provides a useful opportunity to practice Chinese speaking and listening.

The Chang Hong Wu Shu club allows students to enjoy an insight into a 3500-year-old Chinese tradition, experiencing knowledge preserved for centuries, all while providing the benefits of physical exercise, increased flexibility, strength, stamina, concentration, collaboration and leadership skills.

The 2018 Chess season began and finished with hope. Despite not quite attaining the success of a few years ago, the level of enthusiasm and support for the game remains strong. Led by Chess Captain George Withers, Vice Captain Will Power and ably assisted by Head Coach Eliot Soo-Burrowes, the boys started the season with typical enthusiasm and dedication.

The year began with BGS competing in the first round of the Brisbane Interschool Chess Competition. The day was a productive one, with Sze-Yong Ng, Nadula Tennakoon and Tony Zhong all placing in the top 10 out of 48 players from 10 different schools. BGS teams were placed second, sixth and seventh.

Next was the Somerville House Chess Invitational, with 30 boys competing over two Friday evenings in March. BGS teams placed second, seventh and ninth out of a field of 11 teams in a combined A and B grade; ninth and 10th in a field of 10 teams in C grade; and third and 14th in a field of 16 teams in Novice grade.

In May, 13 students competed in the Brisbane Interschool Chess Competition’s second round, with BGS teams placing second and seventh in Premier grade, and second in A grade. Overall, these competitions were useful warm-ups to the GPS season and gave students and coaches an idea of what to expect for the rest of the year.

The GPS Chess season began well against IGS with BGS winning 26 games and drawing two games out of a total of 36 games. However, the Premier team’s second round loss to BBC was both the surprise and disappointment of the season. To their credit, the Premier team picked themselves up with renewed vigour and almost pulled off an upset win over an extremely powerful ACGS team the following round. Improved performances in the second half of the season enabled the Premier team to finish fourth behind ACGS, BBC and GT. The GPS team finished the season with 181 wins, 30 draws and 66 losses. Our results demonstrated the depth of our talent. BGS finished first in four of the nine divisions: A, B, D and F, and finished second in the Junior, Open C and Open E divisions. Seven players played at least five games and finished the season undefeated: Sze Yong Ng, Karan Kanwar, Eliot Dudgeon, Declan Brown, Oliver Bieber, Christian Ma and Milan Kankanwadi. Congratulations to these boys on a marvellous effort.

In August, 11 boys competed in the Brisbane Interschool Chess Competition third round, with BGS teams placing fourth and seventh in Premier grade and 14th in A grade. This performance resulted in the Premier team qualifying for the state championship in October.

Much of the credit for BGS’s continued success is due to the efforts of our Head Coach, Eliot Soo-Burrowes. Throughout the first half of the year, Eliot worked closely with the Premier

team and other players helping to prepare them for the GPS competition. He also ran extensive GPS trials to ensure our selection process for each team was fair and his contribution to the weekly performance of all teams was invaluable.

The Chess community also has reason to be grateful for the strong leadership of George Withers and Will Power. Both George and Will have been wonderful ambassadors for the activity throughout the year, producing engrossing chess reports as well as hosting the GPS schools for home games. I would like to thank George and Will for their hard work and I wish them all the best for the future.

Chess Club continues to be a popular hotbed of creativity and enthusiasm for the game. It is a place where boys can enjoy a casual game, yet at the same time have a vigorous discussion

about the next move or the best overall strategy. Chess Club is a major contributor to the wider success of BGS Chess.

I would like to thank Mrs Cathy Oxley and Mr Jay Taylor for their assistance throughout the year. Their help has been invaluable. In addition, I would like to thank the boys for their enthusiasm and commitment. I look forward to another successful year in 2019.

Chess Club

In 2018, the Chess Club continued its tradition of providing a place for our youngest students to join the BGS chess community. Chess Club caters for novice players as well as those with more experience. A variety of activities conducted throughout the year provide an opportunity for our students to extend their knowledge and skills, participate in tournament events, enjoy the social camaraderie and develop new friendships.

At the Queensland Interschool Chess competition, there were many creditable performances from novice through to premier grade players. Nathaniel Yu, Shaun Li, Minh Tran and Christian Ma performed consistently, achieving second place in the Premier division in each of the qualifying rounds.

After qualifying for the State finals, the Premier teams continued to represent the School proudly. Team 1: Shaun Li, Nathaniel Yu, Charles Woodhouse and Ali Rahim played with determination

to achieve a top 20 place overall, surprising some of the more highly rated opponents with their persistence. Team 2: Christian Ma, Nic Carter, Vishnu Kangatharan, Lachlan Smith and Ryan Johnson, also provided stiff opposition in each round of play, ending the tournament solidly and gaining valuable insight into this level of competition. The end of formal competition concluded a year in which the boys gained much experience and confidence.

I extend my sincere thanks to our coaches Mr Patrick Byrom and Mr Charlie Guo for their efforts to develop our Year 5 and 6 boys throughout the year. I also express my sincere gratitude to all members of our chess community for their efforts in making 2018 another successful year.

Closing the Gap Committee

Throughout 2018, the Closing the Gap Committee has engaged in various initiatives and presentations that have sought to celebrate, raise awareness and promote understanding of our Indigenous community. In Term 1, BGS acknowledged National Close the Gap Day. To recognise the significance of this day, Year 12 boarder, Kade Wallace, and his father Paul were invited to address a whole school assembly. Kade and Paul are both from Hope Vale and proud Guugu Yimidhirr men, and they delivered moving presentations on continuing to close the gap, as well as their experiences with BGS.

In Term 2, the School recognised National Sorry Day, which allowed Year 10 student and Woopabarra man, Kieron Saunders, to talk passionately of the pain the Stolen Generations inflicted upon his family. There was also a traditional smoking ceremony prior to a dance performed by a group of our Indigenous students.

Round 2 of the GPS Rugby season, a home fixture versus BBC, saw the Rugby community recognise Heritage Day. As well as serving as the game ball for the round, each of the fifteen players ran out through the tunnel and handed out balls patterned with Indigenous art.

During the year, the committee hosted two breakfasts with Brisbane Girls Grammar School’s equivalent of our CTG Committee, the Uralla Club. Guest Speakers, Andrew Clarkson from Glencore Mining and Gregg Ross from the Lady Cilento Hospital, prompted insightful discussion among students about Indigenous affairs and possible initiatives to engage in.

As is tradition, the School marked the occurrence of NAIDOC week with an assembly address and library displays. A display in the learning commons of The Lilley Centre explored the 2018 theme: Because of her, we can. To connect with this theme and the celebration of Indigenous women, Kalkadoon Community Elder, Aunty Julie Mason Smith spoke to the assembly. Aunty Julie has over 25 years of experience working in Indigenous cultural recognition, and the School deeply valued her presence and brilliant address.

It has been a privilege for the seniors to be members of the CTG Committee and, for the opportunity to serve, we wish to extend our gratitude to our nation’s First Peoples and their descendants, the School, our teachers and fellow students.

Cooking Club

The call out for Cooking Club always attracts excited students from Years 5 to 8 rushing to sign up. Middle School Cooking Club meets each Wednesday afternoon and provides a social, educational and fun environment for students to work together to follow recipes, improvise if needed and experience the excitement of tasting food they have prepared themselves.

According to recent media reports, surveys show that teenagers are clueless in the kitchen with fewer than half of them able to boil an egg. Once a week in the Middle School we seek to correct this as the boys wash their hands, tie up their aprons and start cutting, dicing, measuring and stirring. The boys of the Cooking Club learn about food preparation and nutrition and have an opportunity to discover new ingredients, techniques and kitchen implements, while enjoying foods they may have never tried before.

This year some of our favourite recipes have been beef stir fry, sausage rolls, spinach and feta triangles, corn fritters, pikelets and bruschetta. RSPCA Cupcake Day gave us the perfect opportunity to design dog faces out of icing all in the name of charity.

The highlight of the term is ‘challenge week’, where groups get to select and make their own recipe. This involved the group deciding on a recipe (often a family favourite), and then allocating a budget and responsibilities for each group member. The boys learnt a lot about each other, food from across cultures and – most importantly – how to work productively as a team.

Thank you to all the boys involved and other teaching staff who have shared their ideas and been our dedicated taste testers in 2018.

Doctor Who Society

2018 has been an exciting year for Doctor Who fans. This year saw not only the introduction of the show’s first female lead (Jodie Whittaker) but also the first new showrunner in eight years (Chris Chibnall). This has provided plenty of food for thought and discussion, which is one of the best things about Doctor Who Society. The students are highly opinionated about some of the show’s decisions, such as not bringing back fan-favourite villains, or casting a woman as everyone’s favourite Doctor.

At our meetings we view an episode and throw in a little trivia, which is illustrated by our resident cartoonist

Huw Gwynne-Jones. At the time of writing, Season 11 is still waiting to air so we have spent much of the year watching episodes that many students have seen before. This has led to questions such as, ‘Which Doctor is your favourite?’ or ‘Which episode is the scariest?’ — always entertaining talking points even if we have canvassed them all before. One thing we all agree on is how exciting it is waiting to see where (and when) the show takes us from here.

Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme

This year marked a historical event for the School’s Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award participants, with the opportunity to meet his Royal Highness, Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex KG GCVO in April. The Earl visited BGS as part of his duties as Chair of the International Council and Trustee of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Scheme. A group of BGS participants, together with participants from 10 other award units, had the honour of meeting and speaking with HRH regarding their participation in the Award and were witness to the traditional Royal tree planting ceremony on the Boarders’ Lawn.

Following such a significant start, 2018 has been another successful year. The School has had several awardees and new enrolments in the Award are at an all-time high, with 50 new participants in Semester 1.

To best support participants, we have embraced the School’s new technology infrastructure; hosting online team conferences and Skype meetings with Moogerah staff and documenting evidence in collaborative digital platforms such as OneNote. We continued to hold regular lunchtime meetings throughout the year and it has been fantastic to see more students come in and ask questions about completing the Award. Our team consists of Ms Maude Barrow, Ms Allison Smith and Miss Kimberley Kovacevic, with Mr Casey Walker supervising the Middle School Bridge Award for our younger participants.

For many students, a highlight of the Award is completing an adventurous journey. Participants are fortunate in that they can choose to use their Moogerah experience as their practice journey before embarking on one of the qualifying journeys offered by the School. This year, journeys have included whitewater kayaking in Nymboida, the Cape York immersion program and the Cambodia service trip. The Outdoor Education staff at Moogerah have also organised an expedition week to finish off the year, which will be held during the first week of the summer holidays. This will be an action-packed week in which students will take part in hiking or paddling expeditions.

We are extremely grateful for our adventurous journey supervisors who volunteer their time and expertise each year. Thanks to our Moogerah staff, Mr Derek Jervis, Mr Jon Hodges, Mr Mat Fairley and Mr Dave Hills for their fantastic work.

A host of people help the boys to complete the service, skill and physical recreation components required for the awards, including staff in the Tuckshop, Grammar Shop, library, and teachers and coaches of extracurricular activities. We would like to recognise the continued support of these volunteers and thank them in helping the participants explore their interests and achieve their goals.

In 2018, over 130 students actively participated in the program with many involved in more than one activity. The following student reports capture the key highlights.

Ms Kate Stevenson Head of Economics

BGS Coffee Group Semester 1: Blue Brew

Early in the year, the Year 11 Semester 1 coffee team rolled out the coffee carts and milkshake makers into the Newell Quadrangle to start an intense semester of brewing. An afternoon training session equipped us with the skills needed to prepare almost 2,000 orders throughout the semester. Beyond the ability to whip up a mean coffee and milkshake, we learnt the importance of efficiency and quality in business. With compelling advertising by Josh Wu, the organisation of Harry Barker and number crunching by Dan Carroll, Blue Brew succeeded in raising substantial funds for Headspace, a charity chosen by the customers. A big thanks to the Economics teachers who managed us throughout.

BGS Coffee Group Semester 2: Latte Lids

In Semester 2, the Latte Lids were passed the baton of creating coffees and mixing milkshakes by our predecessors, Blue Brew. Thanks to a tutorial session at the start of the term we were off to a cracking start. We developed further thanks to the helpful Blue Brew crew and Year 12s that donated their time and experience to train us. Most of the boys are now capable of making a half-decent latte and should proudly call themselves a de facto barista. On some days, our skills were strained in supplying the demand for milkshakes from the Middle School and flat whites for teachers. It was thanks to the joint efforts of Ms Marshall, Ms Twyman and Ms Stevenson from the Economics department that we persevered. Without them, we would not have had such a great experience with the Latte Lids.

Australian Business Week – Year 11

This year, three Year 11 Brisbane Grammar School teams were pitted against each other in the ABW Hotel Management simulation. Through intense competition, effective decision making was displayed by all teams. The teams needed to make quarterly choices on hotel room pricing, service quality, advertising spend, dividend payout ratios, employee wages and case study questions.

On day one, each team was keen to compete for the highest market share, and we each had a share price of $5.00. Company One took the lead in the first quarter at $6.91 per share, a lead that was maintained until quarter five, when Company Three overtook this, at a new high of $6.95. However, this was quickly counteracted in quarter six, when Company Two reached the all-time high of $7.28. Overall, Company One’s consistency led it to claim victory with a final share price of $6.66.

Congratulations go to all teams. This experience was a great opportunity to improve our economic skills and capabilities outside the classroom.

Finn Lindgren Year 11

Australian Business Week – Year 12

The Year 12 ABW competition was based on the management of a theoretical manufacturing company. Keen to implement their economics knowledge, four Year 12 students formed two teams to compete against each other and a third team from another school. The businesses were run with varying degrees of success over the eight weeks, with decisions regarding the company's management made weekly.

Although all three teams had comparable share prices after the first four decisions that were made, a large market share enabled one BGS team to quickly increase revenue. Using their economics knowledge relating to market structures, this team realised it had established a competitive edge in the oligopoly market allowing the firm to increase prices. This led to the share price quadrupling from the initial share price, leading the team to be victorious. In the face of this share price rise, competitors began to capitulate as they took radical approaches to increase their own share prices.

Overall the experience was highly enjoyable for all students involved and helped further develop our knowledge from previous enterprise activities.

Ecoman – Year 11

During July, a group of BGS and BGGS students participated in the ECOMAN program, run at Corrs Chambers Westgarth Lawyers in the city. In the program, students took over management of four failing coffee machine companies and competed for market share. Students learned about making simple and complex business management decisions in the four stages of the business cycle. The aim was to maximise profit for the company and ultimately provide a good return for shareholders.

In each company, students were split into five roles: Managing Director, Production Manager, Sales and Marketing Director, Human Resources Manager and Finance Director, each with separate decisions to make. Some decisions included: the amount of raw material ordered; the quality and price of goods sold; technology employed; and optimum employment levels.

Overall, the program was informative, interesting, fun and insightful. I would recommend this program for any future Year 11 Economics students.

Christian Tait Year 11

Enterprise Society

The Enterprise Society is an opportunity for students of Economics to learn more about how economics is applied in the real world by inviting in guest speakers.

The Enterprise Executive used their business and corporate connections from family members and friends to invite speakers such as Brian Parker (Chief Economist of Sunsuper), Dr Peter Higgs (Chairman of TGM) and Andrew Parker (Owner and General Manager of Guppy’s Childcare). The Society was also honoured to welcome award-winning journalist and commentator Robert Gottliebsen AM.

Not only did these speakers describe the important application of economics outside the classroom, they also shared many life lessons regarding challenges and opportunities relevant to the workforce. Overall, the society was an enjoyable activity for all involved in organising the events, as well as those students who attended to hear the speakers. Special thanks to Mr Celm and the Economics Department staff for their assistance in coordinating, because although it is a student-run club, it would not have been possible without their input.

Student Entrepreneur Group

On 20 February, a group of BGS and BGGS students started to prepare for a product pitch in collaboration with River City Labs. We began our career as young entrepreneurs by forming small teams to work towards creating a marketable product that would solve a problem. During our journey we would have to conduct market research, contact businesses and manufacturers and create a minimum viable product, with the help of Ayla from RCL and her plethora of knowledge on entrepreneurship. On 17 May, a panel of ‘investors’ that included Steve Baxter (a successful entrepreneur and investor on the TV show Shark Tank), Mr Carroll and Ms Tennille Cummings (BGGS) judged us in an exciting night of product pitching. Ideas ranged from self-maintaining plant pots, city parking apps and an art distribution platform. Ultimately, the Student Entrepreneur Group offered a unique and invaluable experience to all who contributed and taught us skills we can apply to our own potential businesses and everyday lives.

Greening Grammar

This year has been hugely rewarding for Greening Grammar due to the enthusiasm of a large group of students from a range of year levels.

At the heart of Greening Grammar is an extensive recycling program that has continued to be refined this year. For example, waste paper bins around the School have been emptied fortnightly, coffee grounds have been collected and reused as fertiliser, and food waste from the Tuckshop and Harlin House has been recycled in our eight worm farms. The worms have turned the organic matter into worm tea – a highly effective fertiliser – for the School community to take and use throughout the year. Additionally, Greening Grammar has recently acquired a bigger and better worm farm that will significantly assist our efforts. Hopefully, we can reduce the School’s organic waste ending up in landfill to a minimum.

Throughout the year, Greening Grammar has also worked to improve the boarding house by planting vegetation in their new outdoor area. Our efforts this year have not simply been confined to our own school, as we have provided a helping hand to Brisbane Girls Grammar School. Scores of trees were planted at their playing fields and we carried out weeding to rejuvenate the landscape. We have also been involved in growing herbs and have established a thriving basil patch near the boarders’ barbecue. We are looking at purchasing a native bee hive this summer and next year we will be looking to extend our herb planting and create a vegetable and fruit garden in a suitable area in the School.

Inside Story Book Club

This year, the Inside Story Book Club grew in numbers, with a passionate group of Years 7 and 8 students eager to discuss the books they were reading. Each Friday during lunch the group would meet to talk about a book they were reading together, create a bookish craft or compete in a genre-related challenge. The members of this group are always keen to express their opinions and are very welcoming to new participants.

As a group, the club reads one book together each term. These books are carefully selected to focus on a different genre each time and often a current event such as a film release. This year titles included A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle, Mike by Andrew Norriss and Mortal Engines by Phillip Reeves. During Term 2 the book club had a special focus on mystery, with three different books being examined including Greenglass House by Kate Milford, York by Laura Ruby and The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. These books are celebrated in the final meeting of the term with a party including book-related food, quizzes, games and conversation.

Continuing the tradition of past years, Inside Story has met with the Years 7 and 8 book club from St Joseph’s Gregory Terrace once a term to discuss a shared book. This activity is a great opportunity for students to meet and interact with other boys their age to discuss books in a social setting. Books are chosen by students at the previous meeting, with lively debates in both libraries regarding the books. This year we have examined Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend, Pathfinder by Orson Scott Card, Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness and The Power of One by Bryce Courtney.

2018 has been a lovely year full of fun, lively conversation and activities where we have discovered some fantastic and inspiring new stories. We look forward to 2019, meeting more readers passionate about books and uncovering new and exciting texts to discuss. The last message from the Inside Story Book Club for 2018 is, of course, ‘Don’t forget to do some summer reading!’

International Physics Olympiad

The annual National Physics Olympiad Qualifying Exam is open to all students in Years 10 and 11. It is the first step in the selection of the Australian Team that will compete at the International Physics Olympiad. Brisbane Grammar School has had a long history in this event and in March this year over 30 students participated in the training for this exam.

In August, 24 BGS students joined 1500 students around Australia to sit the two hour exam, which included both multiple choice questions and extended problems focusing on kinematics, dynamics, energy, electricity, waves, optics and experimental setup.

Certificates are awarded based on a student’s rank in the competition. The top 10% receives a High Distinction Certificate, the next 20% receives a Distinction Certificate, and

the next 30% receives a Credit Certificate. Pleasingly, 17 of our students received a certificate this year. Exceptional performances were recorded by three students, Lewis Luck, Yi An and Dan Carroll, who received High Distinction Certificates.

Our students’ interest and performance show that the study of Physics is alive and thriving and I would urge all eligible students to consider joining the training program next year.

Middle School ISCF

Each Friday lunchtime 30 Middle School students gather in MS201 for fun activities such as game shows, an Easter quiz and themed games. Numbers swell even further when a movie is shown, which this year included a classic Monty Python comedy.

Middle School ISCF provides boys with the opportunity to have fun and interact with their peers in a relaxed environment. As an interdenominational Christian group, ISCF is open to all students who wish to learn more about the spiritual dimension of life. Friday lunchtime activities relate and lead into a short discussion about what Christians believe.

Each year, 80 Middle School students and a number of senior students, Old Boys and teachers attend the annual Middle School ISCF camps during the September holidays. Always a highlight, this year’s camps included a particularly terrific group of Years 7 and 8 students who show great maturity and leadership potential. The boys enjoyed three days filled with team challenges, Dodgeball competitions, tubing on the lake and great discussions. Everyone had a fantastic time and it was a wonderful start to the holidays.

Mr Ian Grice Middle School ISCF Coordinator

Senior School ISCF

Like the Middle School group, the Senior School ISCF group provides students in Years 9 to 12 with the opportunity to consider some of the deeper questions of life. Topics at regular

Tuesday lunchtime meetings have ranged from light hearted activities to a presentation on ‘Courage: Developing strong character and staying strong’ and a series on interesting stories from the Bible. Discussions are wide ranging, but always include a Christian perspective on issues our students face. This year, we hosted two well attended student-led panels in The Lilley Centre Forum to give students a chance to voice their thoughts to their peers on two topics: ‘What is the meaning or purpose of life? and ‘Questions and Answers about Christianity’. In Semester 2, the number of student-led activities expanded to include a regular weekly afternoon Bible study and an afternoon sharing meeting.

The highlight of the year was the annual ISCF camp, held during the Easter holidays at Camp Somerset. Sixty students enjoyed the fun activities at a beautiful site, as well as the thought provoking exploration of Christian beliefs using the movie The Matrix as a theme. The presence of a number of Old Boy leaders added greatly to the camp.

Within the Senior ISCF group, there is a strong culture of leadership by example and putting others’ needs before our own. This is evident in the number of senior students who assisted regularly at the Middle School ISCF group as student leaders. This year we farewelled a terrific group of Year 12 students who have anchored the group for a number of years as they have moved through the School. Their enthusiastic participation will be sorely missed. Involvement of all four year groups together and the leadership offered by older students is one of the distinctive features of the ISCF group.

Ms Noël Chan Senior School ISCF Coordinator

The International Young Physicists' Tournament (IYPT) is a team-orientated competition, where students work together on the preparation of their solutions to 17 problems prior to attending the tournament. The problems of the IYPT are not tasks that can be solved within a short time with known methods; rather they are open-ended questions designed to encourage students to research literature and complete their own experiments. An example of this is problem number 7, conical pile, which states: Non-adhesive granular materials can be poured such that they form a cone-like pile. Investigate the parameters that affect the formation of the cone and the angle it makes with the ground. The purpose of IYPT is to develop scientific thinking, research skills, communication skills and teamwork. It is a unique tournament for high school students of Physics.

The 2018 Australian National IYPT Team had five members, with BGS strongly represented by three Year 12 students, Mukund Ghantala, Lavien Premraj and William Power. In the first week of Term 3, the team travelled to Beijing for the 31st IYPT competition. Below is their reflection on the experience.

Ms Noël Chan Head of Physics

Following our success in the local Australian Young Physicists' Tournament at the end of last year, we had the opportunity to represent Australia on the global stage. We spent countless hours throughout the year researching, investigating and experimenting, as well as being covered with water, glycerol and sand. After a stopover in Singapore, where we joined and

prepared with the interstate members of our team, we flew to Beijing to participate in five rounds of Physics Fights. In each fight, we took on the role of either reporter, opposition or reviewer, presenting and discussing solutions to a problem from the 2018 IYPT. Some fights included Lavien presenting on the change of a three-dimensional pendulum’s swinging direction due to a flexing pivot point, and Will opposing an investigation into how long a candle stays lit and afloat in a container of water. These boys held their own against some of the most capable and knowledgeable students from around the globe and scored very well. We debated countries such as Singapore, Thailand, Serbia, Belarus and the USA. On top of the 2 am bedtimes and hard physics, we did some sightseeing, visiting locations such as the Forbidden Palace, the Temple of Heaven and Tiananmen Square. We made strong friendships, not only with the other members with the team, but with people from around the world.

Despite finishing 22nd out of the 32 teams, we finished ahead of the USA (to Mr McClatchy’s delight). It was an amazing and rewarding experience and for this we would like to thank some key people. Firstly Ms Chan and the School for giving us this once in a lifetime opportunity, and Mr Mitchell, Mr O’Kane, Mr Foulger and Mrs Locke for their invaluable help on our experiments. With new friendships formed with like-minded students from all around Australia and a greater appreciation for Physics, this experience is one that will last for a lifetime.

JYPT

The Junior Youth Physicists Tournament was held at The Hutchins School in Tasmania in October this year, and was attended by a group of keen BGS physics students: Lewis Luck, Rishi Goel, Glenn Schaffer, Tom Gehrmann and Abineash Mayooran.

The tournament involves the presentation of solutions to five problems, which are released in advance of the competition. During the competition, teams engage in several rounds of Physics Fights, where the boys either present their solution to a problem or critique another team’s solution to a problem.

Prior to the tournament, the team prepares by solving these five problems. They must do several experiments and a lot of research. The team that travelled to the tournament were helped in their preparation by Lavien Premraj, Yi An and Zakhar Kalinin. Although our helpers were not able to directly compete

by presenting on the day, the boys would not have come as far as they did without their help.

On arrival at The Hutchins School the boys were all amazed at the extensive facilities of the school and the welcoming nature of the students. During the JYPT, Lewis, Rishi, Glenn, Tom and Abineash competed against various other schools from New Zealand and Australia.

In between rounds, the team worked tirelessly with the help of their supporting team mates to improve and further their shared understanding of the problems. They achieved fifth place overall, earning a Bronze Medal. They are all enriched by the experience. The team conducted themselves with the utmost respect and maturity and represented the School in the best possible light.

This year, several of the technology and craft clubs banded together under a new umbrella, and are now known as the Make: Clubs. Make: offered many activities to extend the boys’ interests beyond the classroom and give them the opportunity to tinker with real, hands-on activities, with an emphasis on finding creative solutions through adventurous thinking. Make: Clubs are open to students from Years 5 to 12. Boys are united through their interests rather than their year level, forming uniquely multi-aged groups and collaborative teams. Clubs operate during lunch hours, after school hours, during school holidays and external competitions held over weekends. These clubs and activities are united under the one overarching MAKE principle:

‘Make:’ empowering students to become confident creators and tinkerers who think, see and collaborate on projects.

‘Make’ activities have been created to allow students access across school campuses and to utilise extensive staff experience.

Public Purpose

In our 150th year, the passionate students at Brisbane Grammar School zealously dived into the vast array of Public Purpose programs the school offers. Driven by a determination to positively impact the lives of others, boys across all year levels took 2018 as an opportunity to strengthen community ties while finding new and important causes to support. Reflecting the prefects' focus on ‘walking the path’, this year’s students successfully followed in the footsteps of many previous BGS generations who have served the wider community and have made Public Purpose a core element of our school.

In a program that encourages boys to adopt an outward perspective and look beyond ourselves, each year level form community service clubs to plan projects and organise fundraising. Such groups are responsible for organising senior student volunteers at the Community eXchange Kelvin Grove homework club and Nursery Road Special School.

The Middle School was also very much involved in Public Purpose in 2018. The Year 5s seemed to fly from one initiative to the next. Highlights included the RSPCA donation drive, the SOWN Working Bee and Clean Up Australia Day, The RSCPA Cup Cake day and the Great Book Swap. For the Year 6s, it was activities as simple as clearing rubbish in Ashgrove to collecting for Christmas hampers, where they learnt the true meaning of

making a difference in other’s lives. However, the key initiative for the Middle School was the challenge to live out of a backpack for a weekend. Designed to aid refugees, the project raised an amazing $20,000 and is testament to the hard work and sacrifice put in throughout the year.

The seniors' major project for 2018 was once again The World’s Greatest Shave event for the Leukaemia Foundation, which the School has adopted as an annual cause. In competition against previous senior cohorts, the Years 11 and 12s took up the challenge and raised over $30,000 in donations, and, in a BGS first, had every teacher involved shave or colour their hair. It was the tenacity of the senior students that made Public Purpose such a successful part of the School’s identity.

However, Public Purpose is more than just the service of others. Boys often express how committing to the service of others acts as a powerful tool in finding one’s self. The program’s success lies not only in the betterment of the lives of those around us, but also in the promotion of creating the ideal BGS student – an all-rounder, a leader, and a man of character.

Snowsports

This year, 15 Brisbane Grammar School boys from Years 6 to 12 represented the School at the 2018 Northern New South Wales and Queensland Snowsports Championships at Thredbo.

The competition included alpine giant slalom, moguls, ski cross, snowboard giant slalom and snowboard cross.

Over a week of racing, the boys accumulated four individual gold medals, three silver and three bronze, as well as four team gold and one silver medal. The BGS Snowsports team finished third

overall against schools from New South Wales and Queensland. On the back of such good results, many of the boys were invited to attend the national competition later in the year.

The 2019 competition will be held from 9 to 13 July at Perisher.

The clash of steel on steel; battle cries; the crack of fire and lightning.

It doesn’t matter how well you plan sometimes. You just can’t plan for everything. The roll of the dice can separate life and death — the killing blow and glancing-off armour — perfectly executed plans and the collapse of everything.

Every Tuesday afternoon you’re likely to find wild barbarians, noble paladins, graceful wizards, and cunning rogues in great battles to save the kingdom, to save the world, to save a guy’s pet that ended up in the lair of goblins, and well, THAT reward was very nice. Yet that isn’t all, as there isn’t just one world in play at a time; there can be gunslingers, marines, the rise and fall of civilisations. All of it driven by collaborative storytelling and roleplaying, only limited by our imagination. Is there anything more powerful than a near-unrestricted imagination and endless stories?

Strategic Games isn’t a place you have to attend every single week. It’s a place for fun and imagination. From combat to diplomacy, stealth to full-on action. From the arcane arts to the power of the gods, there’s something for everyone, and that’s just Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. If that isn’t your type of game there is also the strategy of Warhammer 40,000 and the diplomacy trade of Settlers of Catan.

We have a slice of everything, so if you have a free Tuesday afternoon then come and see if Strategic Games is the club for you. Join the dark side! We have cookies — well, we did, we kind of ate them all — but we do have the promise of limitless worlds to explore in these games, people to play them with, and amazingly annoying dice that you will swear roll better for everyone but you.

The Student Representative Body (SRB) took on a new format in 2018 and overall it was an extremely productive and successful year. The traditional role of the SRB has always been to recommend improvements to the School, and this year was no different. However, in 2018 the body was substantially larger with each Tutor Group electing a representative to attend our meetings. This was a deliberate decision to ensure that an authentic student voice from across all year levels was obtained.

While Middle School and Senior School groups met separately, both shared the same focus in Term 1, which was to provide feedback on the Student Wellbeing curriculum. Representatives sought input from their Tutor Groups on what they did and didn’t like within the current wellbeing framework, as well as identifying issues they thought were most relevant to their respective age groups. These responses were collated by the Director of Student Wellbeing Programs, Ms Douglas, then scoped and sequenced into a revamped Years 5 to 12 curriculum that better reflected the topics students at Brisbane Grammar School were wanting to learn more about. The SRB is confident that the changes made to the wellbeing curriculum will be the result of a strong student voice.

During Terms 2 and 3 all members canvassed students to seek ideas on how to better improve our community. A long list of suggestions from Years 5 to 12 were presented to Mr Carroll, Ms Campbell and other senior leaders for their consideration. From this meeting, several ideas were implemented, including the Middle School Tuckshop door staying open longer to reduce congestion in the senior line, and sunscreen being made available to students during break times.

The key focus for Term 4 was to explore ideas for a 150th birthday gift from the student body to the School. It was decided that students would fundraise to pay for the BGS crest to be stencilled on the floor of the basketball courts in the Indoor Sports Centre. We hope that this will be enjoyed for many years to come.

It has been a pleasure to work with these fine young leaders in 2018.

Titration

The Royal Australian Chemical Institute conducts the Australian National Chemical Analysis Competition each year at several university venues throughout the state. It is a challenging, analytical competition, which requires dedicated training, dexterity, and a keen eye. A total of 429 students, consisting of 147 teams from 50 high schools, took part in the competition this year.

The competition is open to Chemistry students currently enrolled in Years 11 and 12 and involves the completion, in 90 minutes, of acid-base titrations to determine the unknown concentration of a weak acid in a solution. The accuracy of the result in a titration is measured by a quarter of the volume of a single drop of solution or smaller. Half a drop of solution in excess can lead to vast inaccuracies in the result. While the aim of the competition is for students to learn and demonstrate their titration skills, mathematical skills are also an important component of the competition.

This year, four BGS teams participated in the South-East Queensland Regional Titration Competition at the Queensland University of Technology on Saturday 12 May. Each team, made up of three boys, trained over a period of four months, which enabled them to complete the task with speed and enthusiasm. Individually, five students gained certificates of High Distinction:

Year 12 students Eagle Ngo (who gained a perfect score of zero), William Kuo and Mukund Ghantala; and Year 11 students Peter Marendy and Vincent Xu. Nagulan Gnanavel and Jianan Li gained certificates of Distinction with Lavien Premraj earning a Certificate of Credit and Harsha Bodla earning a Certificate of Competence. The following boys also deserve a special mention for their considerable application and effort: William Ma, Shreyas Honavar Sathyanarayana and Danny Kim.

All members of the Titration team are to be congratulated on the way they represented Brisbane Grammar School. The students involved continue to be tremendous ambassadors for the School, showing a high level of school spirit and excellence in their application of chemical technique. We are looking forward to the challenge of the 2019 competition.

Weightlifting

The BGS Weightlifting Club is a small but dedicated group of students who compete in various weightlifting competitions throughout the year. Weightlifting is an individual sport for boys of all ages and bodyweights; it develops good habits in training, diet and recovery. The club over the years has developed a number of Queensland and Australian lifters. The culmination of each year is the Queensland all Schools Weightlifting Championships, this year held at Nambour during early November. Schools accrue points as part of a five-man team across various weight groups and ages. Three students, Matt Rowlands, Malachy Dykes and Jarred Muller along with new recruits Tej Singh and Tom Stunden defended the Shield won in 2017. The strength of BGS weightlifting was on display with two gold, two silver and a bronze medal tally. The team lived up to the School motto, nil sine labore.

Debating

The 2018 Debating season was highly successful. With 323 students from Years 5 to 12 making up 63 teams in the GPS and QDU competitions, we had one of the largest contingents in recent times. To elaborate, the program comprised:

• 14 teams and 70 boys in the GPS competition

• 39 teams and 197 boys in the statewide QDU competition

• 10 teams and 56 boys that competed in both competitions.

Debating is a fun, enriching activity that improves our oratory and writing skills, teaches us to think on our feet and provides a medium to learn about and discuss contemporary issues. It allows us to gain skills, friendships and memories that will last for many years to come.

The year commenced with the GPS competition two weeks into Term 1, with the pertinent topic: that Members of Parliament should not have to renounce their dual citizenship. Over the competition, 87 debates were won from 120, which was a significant achievement. The 8.2s, 9.2s, 11.2s and Senior A finished as outright winners, while the 9.3s, 10.1s and Senior B won shared premierships.

The QDU competition began with arguably the best topic of the year: that we should ban The Bachelor. The 12.1s proudly defended the social benefits of the TV show, while the 12.5s were successful in justifying its removal from prime-time television. During the preliminary rounds, we won 74 from 148 debates, or half the debates, which is quite amazing from a statistical perspective. This was a significant achievement in a competition characterised by tough opposition. From our 37 teams, 13 qualified for the finals series. They were the 8.1s, 8.2s, 9.1s, 9.2s, 9.5s, 9.8s, 10.1s, 11.1s, 11.2s, 11.3s, 12.1s, 12.5s and Senior A. Of those teams, the 9.1s, 11.1s and 11.3s progressed to the semi finals. In an unfortunate matchup, the 11.1s defeated the 11.3s to progress to the finals. Both the 11.1s and 9.1s debated in the grand finals of the QDU competition.

In what was an exciting, high calibre and extremely close debate, the 9.1s unfortunately went down in a 2-1 split decision. We wish the Year 9s the best of luck in the years to come. Further, I must acknowledge the huge uptake we experienced among the younger boys this year. With eight Year 8 teams, eight

Year 10 teams and 12 Year 9 teams in the QDU competition, the future looks bright for BGS Debating.

The 11.1s debated Gregory Terrace on the topic: that humans should immediately cease all research and development of artificial intelligence. Ultimately, they won in a unanimous decision. Congratulations to the 11.1s and best of luck for next year.

We also enjoyed further success in debating at the state level. During Term 1, several boys from Years 10 to 12 trialled for the Queensland State Team. Senior A members Ben Ganko, Harvey Nihill and Lucas Hu qualified for the top 12. After three weekends of intensive training, Lucas was selected for the Queensland team. They competed in Perth at the National Schools Debating Competition, where Queensland finished third.

The season would not have been remotely successful without the tireless support of our teacher and Old Boy coaches. I would like to thank all coaches for their guidance, support and enthusiasm for debating, and in particular the 44 Year 10, 11 and 12 boys who spent significant time assisting the Middle School Debating program. This culture of giving back has been invaluable to the success of BGS Debating.

Thanks also to MiC Mrs Hunter, assistant MiC Ms Vosper and Middle School Coordinator Ms Fitzgerald for your support and leadership. Your efforts over three terms, ensuring a few hundred teenage boys, their coaches and adjudicators were in the right place at the right time and ready to debate was truly a magnanimous feat.

BGS Debating is something special. The wholehearted participation of students, teachers, Old Boys and parents creates a rewarding and successful community for all. Once again, these efforts contributed to the extraordinary season of 2018.

I leave BGS Debating confident that our culture of participation, reciprocated knowledge and tightknit community will continue to yield success in the years to come.

Years 5, 6 and 7 Debating

Debating is a very popular activity in the youngest year levels at BGS with more than 20% of students in Years 5, 6 and 7 participating. Students were selected into either a Queensland Debating Union (QDU) or GPS team, with both competitions providing a shorter season in preparation for more rigorous championship formats in older year levels.

In GPS debating during Term 1, the 5.1 team were particularly successful, winning all of their debates. Special mention is also made of the impressive 7.1 team, which won all but one of their debates against very competitive opposition. The QDU Junior Round Robin operated primarily in Terms 3 and 4. BGS teams experienced much success, with the 7.3, 5.1 and 5.2 teams most impressive, winning all but one of their debates.

In 2018, more than 40 volunteer student coaches from Years 10 to 12 ensured that each team received the support and training needed to help them improve their thinking, listening skills, speaking ability, confidence and team work. This coaching by many of our senior debaters benefits both younger and older students and is a vital part of the BGS program. While victories in individual debates are always welcomed, it is the learning achieved from diligent preparation and participation that is of greatest value. Indeed, the strongest improvements in students’ skills often come from the feedback gained from adjudicator and coach in the face of defeat. We are confident that our youngest debaters will benefit enormously from their 2018 experience as they look forward to continuing their involvement in later years.

Public Speaking

Public Speaking Competition

A common comment made by Old Boys is that they are grateful for having had opportunities to develop their confidence in public speaking while at school. The role of the annual public speaking competition is to give students a chance to find their authentic voice as a speaker and deliver an engaging speech to their peers. All boys deliver speeches in academic classes; many also participate in debating or undertake speech and communication lessons. Great public speakers might draw on these experiences, but they also find their own style.

In the Middle School, finalists in Years 5 to 8 explored the opportunity to integrate personal stories to develop their individual voices. The speakers were rewarded with encouraging audience reactions, as their peers laughed, gasped and nodded their heads in agreement with the entertaining accounts of Middle School life. Tales of school holiday adventures, issues in sport, deciphering ‘parent language’ and giving back to our community all offered important positive messages. Speakers were praised for their original perspectives and their professional deliveries.

Ideas about technology, politics and identity underpinned many of the speeches in Year 9 and above. It was pleasing to see how each speaker explored complex issues in ways that appealed to our heads and our hearts. At the Year 12 competition, we were delighted to welcome back Old Boy Mr Ronald Wyllie (’50) who donates the prize for the best Year 12 speaker. Like all in the audience, he was impressed to see the skill, craft and passion evident in each speaker’s performance.

In 2018, we recognised the following boys for their outstanding speeches:

This year has been tremendously successful for the Music Department with the program continuing to grow and mature. Much of this is due to the focus on producing quality music experiences for our youngest students who then move through the program to become music leaders. Accordingly, the development of the Year 5 Music Immersion Program with all Year 5s playing an instrument and singing in a choir was crucial, with the performance by the Year 5 Orchestra at the end-of-year concert most noteworthy. The fine work of our Music staff as part of the vocal and instrumental tuition program means that our young men are well trained and ready to participate in one of almost 30 ensembles at BGS. These ensembles excelled at what are the bread and butter events of the performance program, the Term Concerts. These were beautifully supplemented with special occasions such as Singing for your Supper (who will forget seeing Centenary Hall overflowing with the adoring crowd), Jazz in the Park (what a perfect way to spend a spring afternoon) and our String Festivals (which continue to grow).

The vibrant Academic Music Program involves all students from Years 5 to 9 (with elective music classes for older students) and very much underpins everything that happens on the concert stage. This program came to the fore at various stages in 2018 with performances by our younger students at events such as Grandparents' Day, while our most experienced student composers astounded the audience with their creative flair as part of the Composer-in-Residence program.

The excellent work by our Music Support Group helped our wonderfully talented and committed Music staff achieve some amazing results in 2018. Congratulations also to our Music Captains, so ably lead by Anton Vellnagel. It has been quite a year! Two very special events deserve a particular mention.

Grammar Community in Concert

This is always the biggest concert event of the year, featuring the finest BGS ensembles. In 2018 it also became a central event in the School’s sesquicentenary celebrations. Held in the Concert Hall of the Queensland Performing Arts Complex, it is fair to say that it was probably the most spectacular concert in the history of the School! The auditorium was full and the audience was mesmerised by one astounding performance after another. Central to the night were three world premieres of works commissioned for the concert.

The evening began with one of these, a concert version of the School Song, by the Symphonic Band and choirs. This was followed by a set of choral performances which picked up on the themes expounded in the poem Nil Sine Labore. From the Vocal Group singing about being adventurous to the Grammar Vocal Ensemble honouring our Old Boy soldiers, there was a spirit of celebrating all things BGS. And who will forget the combined choirs’ performance of the song This Is Me featuring Music Administrator Miranda Ward; it brought the house down! When the Grammarphones premiered a work about two Old Boys who died on the Western Front, there was hardly a dry eye in the theatre. From the Percussion Ensemble performing in the dark with fluorescent sticks to the Orchestra performing Miss Saigon, entertainment abounded. The theme of collaboration ran through the whole night with many combined instrumental and choral performances. The night finished in this vein with yet another new work, composed by Old Boy Dan Walker ('95). His setting of the poem Invictus was colossal and was an appropriately epic way to conclude an unforgettable night of music.

European Concert Tour

During the June holidays, 72 boys and eight staff were involved in a highly successful concert tour of Europe. Three specially formed ensembles, a concert band, string ensemble and choir (the Touring Grammarphones) had the opportunity to perform at some incredible venues steeped in thousands of years of musical tradition; cities such as Paris, London, Cambridge and Warwick were particularly notable for this. Emotions ran high during their time on the Western Front in the Picardie region of France where they honoured the many BGS Old Boys who died there in World War I. A special memorial ceremony was staged at the Australian Memorial in Villers-Bretonneux along with two wonderful concerts, which captivated the appreciative local audiences at the local town hall and in the beautiful Amiens Cathedral. Our last stop was a truly international experience at the Llangollen Eisteddfod in Wales, where all ensembles participated in a series of concerts and competitions while enjoying the company of choirs and bands from around the world. The tour finished on a high with the Touring Grammarphones being placed second in the very competitive Open Youth Section of the eisteddfod. The whole tour was truly an unforgettable experience with many happy memories.

BGS Theatre Season

The highly successful 2018 theatre season featured three original works, including Daniel Evans' The Boy We Lost at Sea; KiDD by Mrs Amy Irvine, Mrs Rachel Trolan, Ms Sarah McDonald and Mr Jeffrey Lewis; and Good Grief by Merlynn Tong. To celebrate the School’s 150th anniversary and the young men of our Brisbane Grammar School community, we invested in the talent of our emerging artists by creating theatre of the highest quality.

Ms Tanya Neilsen Head of Drama

Senior Dramatic Production

The Boy We Lost at Sea

Daniel Evans' The Boy We Lost at Sea was a beautifully written script that took a nostalgic and honest look at mateship, love and loss. The production balanced poignant, serious moments with Aussie larrikinism and humour. The cast rose to the occasion with a blend of comedic and dramatic performances, often performing beyond their years. This was one of our strongest ensemble performances in recent seasons, with an equal division of roles. The production included the singing of adapted 90s classics (Hunters and Collectors, Radiohead and Nirvana), coupled with intricate story threads that enabled our boys to spread their acting wings. The final performance ended in a standing ovation, which was a fitting closure to an incredibly rewarding experience for the cast, crew and creative team that included Ms Tanya Neilsen, Mr Ben Newth, Mr Michael Moloney and Ms Bella MacDiarmid.

Cast: Ed Colwell, Amos Saggers, Freddy Wilkinson, Tom Ryals, Harrison Green, Dan Bogossian, Sullivan Brolly, Lochie Pheely, Harry Campbell, Marcus Ray, Luka Rinaudo, Xavier Cichero, Gregor Stewart and Declan Mount.

Technical Crew: Sidney Younger, William Power, Remi Raymond, Cameron Quagliotto and Joshua Saxton.

Junior Dramatic Showcase

The Scene Project

Our second collaboration with Queensland Theatre, The Scene Project, invited participants to unpack and interpret Merlynn Tong’s Good Grief. Through a series of intriguing vignettes, the play reimagined age-old tales into modern day episodes, examining disparate lives in the grips of grief, longing, confusion and wonder. The script encouraged a cast of Years 9 and 10 students to discover the power of storytelling to connect people across times, places and cultures. As co-artists, the creative team and cast shared ownership of the devising process to produce a unique version of this dynamic text. As a part of the project outcome, the 21-strong advanced ensemble travelled to Queensland Theatre to share their interpretation of Tong’s text alongside other Queensland schools. It was an enriching experience for not only the actors involved, but also for the student crew and our creative team (Mrs Amy Irvine, Mr Mark Lucas, Mr Ben Newth and Mrs Rachel Trolan).

Cast: Jack Baboolal, Alexander Cain, Alex Carew, Tobias Carter, Oliver Cathcart, Joe Duncan, Oliver Early, Thomas Freeman, Hugo Malone, Oliver Martin, Oliver Cichero, Ethan Farr, Rishi Goel, Peter Haymes, Tristan Kelly, Tom Lillyman, Cliff Mei, Liam Middlemass, Jack Richardson, Will Simpson and Jack Woolrych.

Technical Crew: Sidney Younger, Cameron Quagliotto, Jackson Mathias, Louis Cardell-Ree, Theo Dickey and Oliver Cafferky.

Middle School Dramatic Production

This year’s Middle School production was an original jukebox musical featuring an array of iconic musical numbers and intertextual references. This coming-of-age production explores the trials and tribulations of young people as they navigate Middle School and ultimately find their tribe. KiDD is a story about a teenage boy who still relies on the company of four imaginary friends; however, after starting at a new school, he finds the strength to chart his own path. Under the guidance of the creative team (Mrs Amy Irvine, Mr Jeffrey Lewis, Ms Sarah McDonald, Mr Michael Moloney and Mrs Rachel Trolan), the young cast from BGS and BGGS were challenged with complex choreography, a dynamic vocal score and heightened characterisation. The development of the performers’ skills led to versatile, engaging and high energy performances that wowed audiences during our sold-out season.

Cast: Andrew Beckingsale, David Butler, Seth Fidler, Luke Murphy, Jonathan Neep, Kiran Patel, William Spalding, Jack Whittam, Angus Woodrow, Robbie Gilbert, Alexander Graves, Christos Karanicolas, Thomas Kwan, Declan Mount, Sean Moyle, Charlie Petersen, Stuart Somerville, Alden Sommerfeld and Lachlan Tu.

Technical Crew: Sidney Younger, Louis Cardell-Ree, Cameron Quagliotto and Theo Dickey.

The BGS Art Department is certainly aiming to take our students to the next level. We joined the School’s 150th celebrations by focusing on the legacy of Old Boys who have made careers as artists. The 49th annual BGS Art Show Connection served as the stimulus to reconnect Old Boys of all ages with current art students and staff. We invited the 14 featured artists in the show to run a workshop, give a presentation about their practice and/or be interviewed. The filmed footage of 10 artists was edited into a six-minute snapshot presented during the show.

Old Boy and celebrated author David Malouf AO generously donated several works from his private collection to the School in 2015, and again in 2017. This year we held an exhibition of these new acquisitions to celebrate a significant contribution to the cultural enrichment of students at the School, with a display of works by some of Australia’s most prominent artists, grouped together so they can be appreciated as bodies of work. David Malouf has been a prolific collector of art throughout his career and to honor his donation an exhibition area in The Lilley Centre was dedicated to him. Visitors to The Lilley Centre, now and in the future, will have the privilege of engaging with art by some of Australia’s most prominent artists, including Grace Cossington Smith, Ann Thompson, William Robinson, Robert Klippel and Indigenous artists Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula and Gloria Petyarre.

This year we welcomed Ms Lauren Edwards back as a permanent member of BGS Art Department teaching staff. Her experience with the NSW HSC and the International Baccalaureate systems will be invaluable as we implement the new Senior syllabus in 2019.

As in previous years, visiting artists shared their practice with students. Jacqueline Scotcher presented her work to the Year 12s to inspire their ‘sense of place’ body of work. This year BGS again hosted Joachim Froese, Lily Karmatz and Renata Buziak as Artists-in-Residence to work closely with Year 11 and help them acquire the skills necessary for success in senior Art.

Sullivan Brolly, Max Fison, Stefan Thuttonkal and Connor O’Grady proudly entered their work in the Creative Generations Awards for Excellence in Visual Art. Stefan’s work was on display in the Regional Exhibition held at the Brisbane Institute of Art in Windsor in September. We were very proud that Stefan Thuttonkal was awarded Highly Commended for his unique three-dimensional installation work. We also celebrate the outstanding success of Connor O'Grady who was awarded Young Australian Designer of the Year, winning the most prestigious award at the Apex Australia Teenage Fashion and Arts (AAFTA) Youth Festival held in Melbourne.

The Years 11 and 12 students were invited to attend a recorded Q&A with the artist at QAGOMA this year in collaboration with the showing of Patricia Picinnini’s Curious Affection exhibition. In October, Middle School students Leo Bowker (Year 5) and Morgan Gao (Year 6) were filmed in conversation with Curator of Pacific Art, Ruth McDougall, discussing the work of Tungaru: The Kiribati Project, which will be on display at the ninth Asia Pacific Triennial (APT9). Ruth responded to student questions, giving great insight into the artists and their practice, planning of the show, and ideas behind the display and individual works.

Visual arts students in Years 11 to 12 were involved in a guided tour of the Churchie National Emerging Art Prize and William Robinson Nature Imagined exhibition at the QUT Art Museum at Gardens Point. The Churchie show is of finalists in a national competition of emerging professional artists' work. The individual artists are diverse and show a range of contemporary practices. The William Robinson exhibition features his iconic works and this year was linked to The Cube’s large interactive screen display to immerse visitors in the flora and fauna that Robinson’s works represent.

Joachim Froese, guest artist and judge at the annual Survey exhibition, showing Years 10 and 11 work, commented positively and constructively about the high standard of the student work on display. He singled out Tony Zhong in Year 10 for his skillful drawing. Of the students in Year 11, Froese acknowledge Deep Pais and Alex Sheehan for their unique approaches to the subject matter.

Year 9 students worked on developing their understanding of the changes artists have made through the decades by studying Modern art movements. They represented their ideas of the concept 'shifting visions' by creating a skateboard deck design composed of photographs they took while on a local excursion.

Middle School students had fun at this year’s Celebration of the Arts where they took selfies in the new digital interactive mirror photo booth. The Year 5 students created their animal totem ring for their Social Space installation. Again this year their workshop was boosted by the expertise of local artists Venus Ganis and Hedwig Shears. Year 6 students created a clay tile mural to be installed in the Social Space acknowledging 150 years of BGS schooling. They also enjoyed an Art immersion opportunity and developed lino prints based on their study of nature. Year 7 students developed freehand drawing, acrylic painting and digital illustration skills based on their understanding of heroes. Year 8 students explored the concept of being Australian through examining our culture, the impact of surrealism in art, and Indigenous influence of Thanakupiinspired symbolic story pots and watercolour paintings that describe the landscape.

While we strive to master the skills required for realistic representation using traditional mediums we have also been driven to be ahead of the game when it comes to new art forms. This year we established a Virtual Reality studio where students can paint in 3D using Google Tilt Brush and other platforms to create virtual environments. Studying Art at BGS offers students a set of skills and an effective way of thinking that prepares them to be the kind of disruptors required in the 21st century.

First V Basketball

Captain of Basketball

2018 has been a year of continued growth throughout all levels of the Basketball program; one in which we have seen large participation numbers, solid results for all teams and the emergence of some serious talent in the younger age groups. Incredibly, over 450 boys played basketball this year throughout 41 teams, with the Years 7, 8, 9 and 10s fielding teams from As through to Fs. Throughout the GPS Season, there were some memorable moments for a great many players in the program.

The Year 5s enjoyed their maiden year of GPS Basketball, and their enthusiasm and effort were an evident thread in their training and games throughout the term. Round five against Gregory Terrace was a particularly terrific one for the Year 5s, with all teams being victorious. Another highlight was the 5A team’s 23-point win in round one against Ipswich Grammar School, which helped to set a positive platform for the season.

Similarly, the Year 6s had a very dominant season, winning 18 out of 29 games with one draw in the 6Ds against BBC. The 6As came together as a team in an incredible win over Ipswich Grammar School of 86-14, finishing third overall. The grade 6s should be very proud of their season, as they were one of the most successful cohorts in the 2018 BGS Basketball community.

The Year 7 cohort showed solid improvement despite a challenging season, which was highlighted by the consistent performance of the 7Cs and Ds who finished the season in fourth and third place respectively. The 7As enjoyed a nice win in round 4 against TSS, and the 7Bs notched a decisive win against IGS in round 1.

The two most successful weeks for the Year 8 group were Rounds 6 and 8, as they did not lose a game. The 8As were able to unite as a team against The Southport School coming from behind to

secure a one-point victory in a thriller of a match. The talent in this year group bodes well for the future of BGS basketball.

While the Year 9s experienced mixed results, a special mention goes to 9B, for securing first place overall this season. Congratulations also to 9A player Ned Brassil who made the First V this season - an outstanding effort for a Year 9 student. The group improved a great deal despite the results, and I encourage the boys to remain competitive in 2019.

Like the Year 9s, the Year 10s experienced mixed results throughout the 2018 season. The most successful rounds for the cohort were Round 1 and 7, as the Year 10s managed to win four out of six games in both weeks. Against Nudgee, the 10Cs showed what they were made of, winning the game by only one point with help from a great individual performance from Elliott James. Many players made remarkable improvements and exuded great school spirit and pride in the face of adversity; however, special mention and congratulations go to Abineash Mayooran who was selected in the First V this season.

Our Year 11s were the most successful year group in the senior school winning 18 out of 29 games with two draws. Congratulations to the whole cohort on this tremendous achievement. A highlight of the season was definitely in Round 7 when Jaris Kassim hit a game three-pointer on the buzzer to give the 11Bs a well-deserved draw. The 11As supported four boys who were selected to play in the First V this season, including Ned McConnel, Simon Anderson, Sebastian Porras and Cian Luke Martin. Congratulations, boys. The outgoing First V players look forward to hearing of your continued growth and success in 2019.

Basketball is usually a very popular sport for the seniors, and this year was no different. The most successful team in the senior cohort was the Second V, led by Mr Jon Hopes and Old Boy

coach Blake Micallef, working together to secure wins in the last three games of the season. Special mention must go to Dylan Ting, who led the boys by scoring an impressive average of 20 points a game.

While the First V were seemingly not as successful as the younger year levels, we worked tirelessly throughout the season to achieve individual and team success. While the scoreboard did not always display the results we hoped for, we still worked extremely hard, which kept us competitive against some schools and continuing to improve each week. Special mention must go to an outstanding individual season from Zach Quin and very well played games by the team as a whole against strong schools, such as State High and The Southport School. On behalf of the First V, I would like to thank our Head Coach, Mr Darrington Overstreet and Assistant Coaches, Mr Dan Fawcett and Mr Calum Edsor for all their advice and guidance throughout the season. Also, thanks to Mr Chris Sharp who ran all ADP sessions for Years 11 and 12, helping to prepare us for the season.

Thank you to all the staff and parents who made the season enjoyable and competitive for every year group. Thanks especially to our MiC of basketball, Mrs Eveleigh, who organised all the coaches and boys each week and made sure that every boy was enjoying their basketball experience. Also, thanks to all Old Boys and teachers who coached a team; your effort and time are appreciated by all. Finally, thanks to the boys in every year group for competing and working their hardest each week to help build the image and reputation of BGS Basketball for the future. Best of luck to all basketballers next year.

Will Dooley Captain of Basketball Director of

Basketball

The First V, despite hard play by the boys and strong leadership by Will Dooley and Cooper Davis, endured an extremely challenging season and were unable to secure any wins during the GPS season. Champions of Schools Basketball Tournament at the end of the season yielded a ninth-place finish with the team securing five wins and suffering only two losses throughout the All Schools Tournament. It was a difficult season for the First V with vice-captain, Cooper Davis, suffering a season-ending

injury preseason and throwing a major spanner in the works. A highlight was an extremely tight, competitive game against TSS, which resulted in an 8-point loss; overall, we struggled to minimise turnovers and maintain poise under pressure. Despite these shortcomings and although the record was certainly less than what we had hoped, I have enjoyed working with a very special group of young men and thank the BGS community and the Hardwood Club for their hard work and support. Zachary Quin emerged as the leading scorer for the group and brought a hard-working approach to the court each week. Will Dooley embodied a very special and direct brand of leadership that was very much a steadying compass for the boys, and James Hogg’s presence, along with his continued improvement and dedication, was an important bright spot for the group.

Thank you to Fiona Naumann, Leanne Dooley and all members of the Hardwood Club for their tireless efforts this past season, especially with the canteen on Saturdays. To the parents, thank you for all your support both basketball-related and non-basketball-related; none of this would be possible without your dedication and support of the program. To the players, thank you for everything you have given this season, especially

your effort and intensity. I encourage all returning players to continue working on your game as much as possible, by getting involved in the BGS club competition, in the gym or in the Hercules program, led by Mr Rhys Cox, as you prepare for the upcoming 2019 season.

Finally, to the seniors, thank you for your commitment to the program in your final year at BGS. I wish you all the best with your future endeavours and hope to hear that basketball remains an important element in your lives.

Cricket

The 2018 GPS Cricket season was another successful season for our BGS Cricket community with outstanding levels of participation and high levels of success. This season we entered 41 teams and had nearly 500 boys representing the School across all groups. I am pleased to report that 18 teams finished the season with podium placings, eight finishing as competition leaders. These teams were the Second XI, 8A, 8C, 7B, 7C, 7D, 7D Sky and 5D Sky. Special mention must go to the Year 7s, which had four teams out of eight finish in first place. Overall, a great effort!

The cricket community would like to thank Mr Don Myles and the groundsmen at Northgate and Spring Hill for producing and maintaining what is arguably the premier cricket facility in the GPS competition. Evidence of this occurred in Round 5 against Gregory Terrace when all GPS fixtures were cancelled except for our match on the No. 1 Oval at Northgate. With new renovations scheduled for Northgate in 2019, our facilities can only get better.

The preseason commenced in the September holidays with trial matches against Geelong Grammar and Hamilton Boys High, NZ as well as specialist and development sessions across all year levels. Our preseason also included the Annual Powderfinger Cup Tournament against Gregory Terrace. The format for this season changed from previous years with teams in Years 5 to 10 as well as the First XI all playing matches. While we weren’t victorious in winning the Cup, nearly all games were hotly contested and played in great spirits. Next season, the format will change significantly to include matches across all year levels at A and B levels.

Also in the 2018 preseason, the BGS First XI and the BGS Old Boys XI met in the Annual Jim Taylor Memorial Match played in memory of Jim Taylor (a former BGS teacher, Cricket coach, First XI manager, First Class Umpire and respected member of our BGS community).

Congratulations to the Old Boys who got their hands back on the cup and thanks again to all the BGS Old Boys for giving up their time to celebrate this wonderful event. A special mention must also go to Michelle Litchfield (Jim’s daughter) who also helped share the occasion.

Final Score: OBA First XI 6/283 (40 overs) defeated BGS First XI 10/212 (35 overs)

Highlights: Old Boys: Kendall Fleming (108); Michael Lloyd (65); Dugie Hill (57 runs and 4 wickets)

BGS First XI: Fyn Anderson (86); Tom Hastie (33); Will Sanders 1-13 (6 overs)

The First XI team also played The Wanderers XI in their annual clash at Northgate with our boys finishing victorious with a win off the last ball of the match. Chasing 180 runs for victory, the last-wicket stand of 36 between Bailey Curran (47 not out) and Elliot Hunt (13 not out) enabled the team to scramble to a hard-fought win.

The junior and senior cricket tours travelled to Melbourne in early December, with highlights including centuries to Tom Hastie and Archie Halliday. The First XI also successfully

competed in the Annual Tri-Grammar Cricket Competition that was held in Melbourne this year, with four BGS boys gaining selection in the Tri-Grammar Representative XII. Congratulations to Ollie Anderson, Will Dooley, Stirling McAvoy and Will Sanders. Each of these tours was hugely successful, with our boys recording some impressive wins in many challenging matches.

January’s Cricket camp at Northgate included trial matches against TSS and Marist Ashgrove, and I commend all players and coaches for their hard work across the four days. It was great to have so many Old Boys and staff coaches available to work with our boys. With this experience under their belts, our cricketers were well-prepared for the 2018 cricket season.

Our training this year focused on a constraints-based approach to learning and incorporated match-simulated scenarios where possible. The boys faced pressure in centre wicket and training environments and were given tasks to achieve with guidance provided by coaches only when required. The boys improved dramatically during the season, and we will again incorporate this strategic approach during our 2019 preseason program.

Integrating our year groups into squads proved successful, with teams from all levels in a year group training together for one session a week. This fostered competitive sessions throughout the season and helped push our players to achieve their best. I believe the success of several B and C teams proved the value of this structure. Community spirit was also evident when the First XI squad members offered to help the Years 5 to 8 boys at their morning training sessions. The younger boys appreciated their guidance, and I hope this relationship continues.

Brisbane Grammar School enjoyed success across the entire program in 2018, recording a win percentage of nearly 60% for all teams in GPS matches contested, which was an improvement from last season. We placed second in the GPS competition. Well done boys on a fantastic season!

There were some outstanding individual performances this season. These included one century, two hat-tricks, six five-wicket hauls and two 150+ run partnerships (one of which was an unbroken 180 run partnership). We also recorded several scores in the 90s and multiple four-wicket hauls. However, I would like to set a challenge to all our batsmen next season to increase the number of centuries to five in the 2019 season.

I would also like to thank Justin Beirne for his leadership and guidance as President of the Willow Club, as well as the parent year group coordinators who organised volunteers for canteen duty each week. We appreciate how they generously give their time to ensure the season runs smoothly, and we thank them for their support.

Lastly, I would like to thank all the teacher coaches, Mr Jamie Youngson and the Old Boy coaches for their hard work throughout the season. The boys are extremely grateful for your commitment. Congratulations to all the boys on the season. We achieved some great results, both individually and as a community. I wish you all a safe off-season and look forward to seeing you back on the park next year.

Cross Country

Captain of Cross Country

The 2018 BGS Cross Country squad were pushing for ‘one more’ through the entire season and the GPS Championship. This challenge, issued by Mr Clancy at the beginning of the season, drove the entire squad to strive to beat one more runner, with the end goal of one more premiership. However, despite our best efforts, the program placed a close second, which is still a remarkable achievement in such a strong field of schools.

The gruelling preseason conducted throughout Term 1 provided the platform for our racing campaign. Our annual camp at Currumundi, a camp revered for punishing sessions, provided an unparalleled team bonding experience. In addition, Elliot Hunt, Alex Stitt, Harrison Martinenko, Stirling McAvoy and Declan Kelly were selected in the Australian team to compete at the International School Sport Federation’s Cross Country Championship in Paris in April. The efforts of these boys earnt BGS the title of fourth fastest school in the world, as well as providing experience to take into the GPS season.

Junior GPS Championships

Although the U10, U11 and U12 age groups do not contribute to the overall premiership, the junior GPS championship provided an opportunity for our younger runners to race on challenging Limestone Park and prepare them for the senior competition.The U10 age group kicked off the day with six runners competing over the 2km course. I would like to congratulate Max Uhlmann, Daniel Wu and Liam Buktenica (5th, 14th and 15th respectively)

for finishing inside the top 20. This age group demonstrated their depth, with Dom Scott, Salvatore Leotta and Jack Van Der Westhuizen not far behind (26th, 28th and 29th respectively). A fantastic team effort saw our youngest age group finish third with a very competitive total of 117 points.

The U11s built upon this solid start and continued to give their all for the light dark blue. Kobi Griffiths led the way with an outstanding first place finish. Kobi is a runner to watch closely into the future. Not far behind was Harvey Gatehouse in 11th, and Henry Slatter, Alex Spence, Luke Saywell and Anson Qiu-Tang rounded out the top six (30th, 33rd, 34th and 35th respectively). The efforts of Zac Jakupovic, Sam Wallwork, Flynn Horton, Will Driessen, Sam Margetts, Hamish Cooke and Max Liberatore helped to secure the age group a fourth-place finish.

The U12s produced a solid performance in their last junior school race, finishing sixth. Oliver Larsen (14th) and Thomas Middleton (15th) led the way finishing within half a second of each other. They were followed by Raf Pincus (40th), Hudson Ridoutt (45th), Matthew Purcell (63rd) and Manul Jayasena (67th) who rounded out the top six. These boys were supported by Jasper Gottliebsen, Edward Nelson, Daniel Martin, Ned Weightman, Thomas Ruddell and Will Dwyer. This team has a promising future in the senior competition; however, renewed commitment and drive in training are required.

Senior GPS Championship

The U13s’ race marked the beginning of the senior championship. An incredible run from Alex Thakur (third) was followed by Doug Chapman (seventh) and Ned Boorer (eighth), reflecting the depth of the age group with these three boys finishing in the top 10. The impressive efforts of Ethan Love (14th), Aaron Le Dan (17th) and Andrew McLeod (27th) completed the top six. The age group was completed by Ryan Logan, Will Motley, Brad Mackintosh, Jack Love, Alfie Sprott, George Labrom, Jo Gehrmann, Atticus Jackson, Jonathan Neep, Ben Weier, Jonathan Minchinton, Seth Fidler, Oliver Spence and Max McGuire who all ran bravely to complete the Limestone course. While the age group scored a very impressive 76 points, a number which is frequently good enough to win, they placed second to a very strong BBC team.

The U14s performed admirably, placing sixth. Finnian Raymond was the first BGS boy across the line in a hard fought seventh place. He was followed by Hamish Moss (21st) and the close pack of Robert Ekeledo-Smith (40th), Josh Tibbits (43rd), Jacob Ong (44th) and Scott Evans (46th). I would like to congratulate these boys on what was an excellent piece of team racing. Furthermore, a committed group effort from Drew Weightman, Oliver Cathcart, Mitchell Wishart, Oscar Shields, Hugh Mowbray, Ben Jesser, Patrick Holmes, Matthew Love, Callan Jorgensen, Thomas Hurwood, Henry Yip, Alex Sneddon and Charlie Bassingthwaighte aided the top six.

The U15s had a cracking day out, winning their age group convincingly. Charlie Sprott capped off a fantastic season of racing with a dominant first place and Harry Chapman closely followed him in third. However, I know that the most important runners for our teams are three to six and, importantly, these boys had excellent runs on the day as well. Flynn Boorer (19th), Alex Kennedy (20th), James McCoombes (24th) and Angus Pearn (42nd) all strongly contributed to the success of the age group. The efforts of Sebi Powell, Hugo Gandhi, Jono Cooke, Louis Quin, Fred Forno, Lawrie Cooke, Rory Wilkinson, George Rimmington, Wil Petersen, Avinesh Ganasan, Alexander Dalgleish, Dermot Fitzgerald, Thomas Fennon and Ben Davies all contributed to the success of the age group through the season and at the championships.

The U16s put in a determined effort to place a hard fought fourth. Ben Chambers led the way coming in 12th with Will Chapman a few steps behind in 13th. These two boys were followed by Tom Appleyard (22nd), Oscar Mower (24th), Lachlan Gorringe (36th) and Oscar Keir (39th), all of whom performed impressively. Jaedyn Tucker, Teddie Mower, Isaac Dunglison, Hugh Weightman, Matt Allison, Griffith Adams, Kyle Hunter, Oliver Cafferky, Ethan Pickett, Joseph Hurnall, Tom Rimmington, Callum Wishart and James Theile provided excellent support and I encourage them to strive for improvement in their final season next year.

The Opens went to Limestone Park looking to leave everything out on the course in their last cross country race for the light dark blue. I’m proud to say that the Opens backed up an

incredible shield meet season with an extremely impressive win on the day, scoring a phenomenal 37 points. In a race full of ups and downs, Alexander Stitt and Declan Kelly performed outstandingly to achieve podium finishes (second and third respectively). Gutsy runs from Elliot Hunt (5th), Adam Taib (8th) and Stirling McAvoy (10th) rounded out our six runners, notably all in the top 10. I would also like to congratulate Harrison Martinenko, James Appleyard, George Withers, Blair Donaldson, Archie Owen, Jackson Nugent, Eliott Blue, David Weightman, Lachie Brady, Archie Pearn, Riley Womal, Hamish West, Harry Lusk, Cooper Davis, Malachy Dykes, Hugh Reiser, Dylan De Silva, Isaac Clewley, Luke Weier, Thomas Wing, Harvey Nihill, Andrew MacGibbon, Will Sheahan and Gregor Stewart for competing bravely and assisting the top six to achieve such an incredible result.

Congratulations to the following boys on placing in the School’s age championship.

I would like to thank all the supporters, parents, staff and boys who watched and cheered on BGS at any cross country event this year. Running around in the heat of the day is always difficult, but strong support always made it that little bit easier. I would also like to thank all the staff and Old Boys who worked with us throughout the season. Every boy appreciated the time invested to make us the best runners we could be. And finally, Mr Clancy, who has been one of the greatest coaches and mentors one could ask for. We thank him for all he has done and organised this year and I hope we have returned the favour and made him proud.

Benjamin Ganko Captain of Cross Country

I would like to commend Benjamin and Elliot for an outstanding job this year in leading the Cross Country squad. Their maturity, enthusiasm and dedication has enabled the squad to form together as a great team. Similarly, I would like to thank the coaching staff: Mr Greg Dabelstein, Mrs Mel Eveleigh, Mr Kristopher Hallis, Mr Nick Holland, Mr Carl Marshall, Ms Sophie Plunkett, Mrs Carla Salmon and Mr Brad Scholes for their tremendous contribution throughout the season. Likewise, the commitment by Old Boy Coaches Dan Forsyth, James Keir, Lachie Marshall, and Jeremy Hunt has certainly strengthened our team. Well done to all.

Fencing

First IV Fencing

Captain of Fencing

The 2018 Fencing season was one to be remembered. With hard training and commitment, BGS won the overall competition for the 12th year in a row, and it was a feat to behold. The Fencing program also received record numbers, and it was good to hear that every boy had a wonderful time whether it was their first season, or last as a senior.

Week in, week out, the boys showed up in force with positive attitudes and a will to do their best. It was great to see the team spirit displayed during each bout with every member watching eagerly as their teammates competed. For the beginners, it was a very welcoming environment for their first season, and the more experienced fencers helped them get into the swing of things. From my point of view, this is what fencing is all about: the welcoming community with a sense of competitiveness at the same time.

The overall results of the season were quite promising. The first four foilists won every match leading up to the final but unfortunately couldn’t pull off the win. However, they came second and had previously beat the winning team earlier in the season. With this in mind and the fact that it is quite a ‘young’ team, they should be ready to go for next year. The sabreurs did very well and never lost a match. This was a well-earned result, and hopefully, they can keep up this strength for future years to come. Finally, the epeeists also won their competition, and it was a nice way to round off the three weapons. As previously mentioned, BGS also won the overall competition for the 12th year in a row, due to victories across all teams.

Regarding future seasons, numbers remain strong and consistent, although other schools are making the competition harder each year. However, with training and dedication, further success will be achieved. Throughout the year Jonathan Patchen and I also competed in international competitions. Jonathan competed in the Fencing Commonwealth Games, and I competed in the Asian Under 23 Circuit in Manilla. Australia performed well in both competitions, coming third in the Fencing Commonwealth Games and making the top eight in the Asian Under 23 Circuit. Both of these results reflect the potential of Fencing at BGS. Johnathan and I both regard those competitions as some of the best experiences of our lives and hope that other fencers will go on to do the same.

In closing, fencing continues to go from strength to strength. I have enjoyed being a part of it since Year 6. Meeting the boys that are involved and the atmosphere it radiated was one of the best parts of my BGS journey. Mr Hill retired earlier this year with Mr Glastonbury taking the reins for the second year as MiC; fortunately, Mr Hill will continue to assist with the coaching of BGS Fencing. Thank you both for your unwavering support of the program and all your work behind the scenes.

Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive team around me this year as Captain of Fencing, and I wish BGS fencers success for years to come.

Back Row (L to R): Mr Jim Hill, Sebastian Vu, Wylie Raymond, Jonathan Patchen, Charles Oliver, Mr Shaun Glastonbury. Front Row (L to R): Jackson Xu, Hans-William Chung, Hugo Brown, Nicholas Rowan, Joseph Lim, Thomas Kwan, Ian Wong. Absent: Bryn Gibbons.

I have just finished my first season of Fencing at BGS. I am new to BGS this year, and all the choices to make were quite overwhelming. At the start of every term, you are given a choice of which sport to undertake. I chose to fence because I wanted to try something completely new.

I knew nothing about fencing; my whole family knew nothing. We didn’t even know the difference between epee and foil. We thought pistes were for skiing. And then I was given different coloured socks! Was this a mistake? Should we take them back?

On my first day, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. All I had was my whites, and I had no idea where I might get a sword and all the rest of the equipment that would keep me safe. But it turned out that BGS had everything we needed and such amazing resources. How lucky I was to pick up my first blade! Now I know that the Musketeers support group are responsible for all this great equipment that we get to use and I am so very grateful.

Well, it turns out that fencing was the perfect choice because it has a balance of strategy and brute force. I learned that fencing has a lot to offer to anyone. If you like a quick and brutal way of doing things, then sabre is for you. If you like a more strategic way of doing things, then foil is for you. If you like a cross in-between, then epee is your sort of game.

The coaches have been fabulous and taught me so much, especially in those first days of camp on the holidays. When my parents saw my first ever bout, they couldn’t believe that I could actually fence...well enough to impress them anyway.

I have had lots of fun, made some excellent new friends and the season has flown past too quickly. Thank you, Mr Glastonbury and Mr Hill, I will be back next year!

Justin Lowe Year 7

The 2018 Fencing season has been a year of continued growth throughout all levels of the program. From Year 5 and with new additions in the senior years, BGS Fencing welcomed the highest number of participants ever this year, with more than 150 boys signing up to the program. The season began with great enthusiasm and optimism in preparation for the Term 2 season. Every student in the fencing community has demonstrated commitment, attention to detail and, above all, teamwork. The fencers will attest that training was demanding, the competition fierce (more this year than ever before!) and the final performances outstanding.

BGS Fencing was ably led by Captain Wylie Raymond, Vice Captain Ulric Nieminen, Head Armourer Tim Capon, Assistant Head Armourer Alan Wang, and Middle School Leaders Hugo Brown and Jude Forrest. Dylan Chan assisted with photos and video footage throughout the season. BGS Fencing gives thanks for the services and assistance provided by our departing Year 12 students: Wylie Raymond, Ulric Nieminen, Hugh Connell, Tim Capon, Ethan Elms and Andrew Buckley. Thank you and best wishes for the future.

Our fencers did extremely well against seasoned club fencers from around Brisbane and the Sunshine and Gold Coasts. For nearly all BGS fencers it was their first outing in an individual event, and they coped splendidly.

Grand Prix

This year’s entry to the BGS Fencing Grand Prix was a donation of stationery and toiletries to be donated to the ‘Bucket of Love’ charity to support and assist children living in remote areas of Papua New Guinea. Around 80 students participated and donated around 300 kilograms of supplies. The afternoon was extremely successful with the end of season presentations, and a surprise presentation for Mr Mark Brusasco who retired at the end of Term 2. His management of the Extracurricular program and his support of the Fencing program has raised Fencing’s profile within the school.

Musketeers

Much gratitude to our parent support group, aptly named the Musketeers, for their dedication to our fencing community. Their assistance is vital to the incredible program we have on offer for BGS students, from the organising and sizing of whites to the expertly operated canteen facilities at Yeronga every week!

The season launch in Fortitude Valley was well attended and started with much gusto, and the raffle prizes and the donations were an incredible testament to the strong community links within fencing. Funds raised from the numerous events throughout the year have assisted in purchasing equipment. Extended thanks to our wonderful committee members Julia Lim, Elizabeth Oliver, Phung Vu, Andrea Tucker, Tracy Moyle, Judith Mertiny and our departing treasurer Jeff Brown and Committee member Timo Nieminen. We welcome Barbara Marendy, Karen Yu and Katie Quirk as Treasurer.

Extended thanks and gratitude for the assistance by BGS parents who provided baked goods, served food and drinks and helped on competition days – we greatly appreciate your assistance. Thank you for your wonderful support over the past year. Thanks to Porsche for assisting with our season launch earlier in the year; the event was hugely successful with a wonderful fencing display by Thomas Kwan and Sebastian Vu.

First XI Football

Captain of Football

The journey of the First XI began in the second week of Term 1, with many early Monday morning trials and training. Closer to the start of the season, the team attended a football camp in Grafton for four days of valuable preparation. This camp obviously helped to put the First XI in good stead for the start of the season.

Although not distinguished by a top tier placing, our season was certainly memorable nonetheless. Early on we were faced with both setbacks and triumphs; we had an unfortunate loss (1-2) against Ipswich in our first round, but our subsequent performance and win (6-2) against Brisbane Boys’ College was a clear indication of a team capable of delivering noteworthy performances. Shortly afterwards, we were trumped by a ruthless Churchie side (0-4), only to return more resilient and determined, showing our true spirit against The Southport School (1-1). What followed was a season filled with similar misfortunes, and likewise, respectable and admirable performances.

Our seasoned First XI players led the way with many memorable and defining moments. Riley Womal and Kade Starrett, for example, provided consistent and superb performances against even the mightiest opponents. Notably, Vice Captain Brad Mills – an indispensable member of the First XI since Year 10 – demonstrated on many occasions that his skill was among the best in the GPS. In defence, Harrison Green – who was characterised by his inextinguishable spirit and fortitude – along with Drew Burke and Bailey Brewis Foulger, gave impressive

performances throughout the season. Also in defence was Jackson Smith who, although only in Year 11, displayed great talent and vigour in this physical and demanding position. In midfield and attack, Ash Ranchigoda, Cooper Black, Stirling McAvoy, Declan Baker, George Diakogiannis, Harrison Martinenko, and Christos Papavasiliou – who scored several outstanding goals during the Uhlsport Cup – showed beyond doubt a side capable of causing great mayhem. Furthermore, Nick Miller must not go unmentioned for his tremendous season in a variety roles all over the pitch – as a resolute teammate in defence, and as a fine player in midfield and attack. This season also witnessed the addition of two significantly younger, yet equally skilful team members. Masimo Wright and Woody Holmes, both in Year 10, established their merit within the team, and Woody Holmes made his debut and a first-class save in the dying moments against Brisbane State High School.

This Football season was a season rich in learning and especially profound in significance. The First XI cannot praised enough, because it was when the team was battered and bruised that our mettle and our virtue was truly determined. In that sense, this season, by way of its triumphs and heartbreaks and successes and failures, has borne witness to the growth of young men, as players and as people.

At this point, it would be unjust not to acknowledge and thank the hard work of Ms Kerridge, the Wembley Club, and the wholehearted encouragement of all the supporters – especially Baxter Hare.

Absent: Christos Papavasiliou, Bailey Brewis Foulger, Mr Sam Brusasco, Mr Richard Cooper, Mr Mark Brusasco.

Mr Di-Losa must be especially thanked for his amazing work as the lodestar of BGS Football while coaching, organising, and coordinating the entire Football community. Additionally, thanks to assistant coaches Mr Sam Brusasco and Mr Murray, the wonderful goalkeeping coach Mr Cooper, and obviously Mr Mark Brusasco. This season was Mr Brusasco’s last, and as the stalwart of Brisbane Grammar School and its Football program, no one can thank him enough for his unparalleled passion and commitment.

Thanks to the players with whom I was privileged to spend an enjoyable season. For next year’s continuing First XI players, I hope it has been a rewarding experience and something to draw inspiration from for future journeys, achievements and accomplishments, both within the context of BGS Football and everyday life.

Tomas Ray Captain of Football Director of

Football

With over 700 players across 42 teams, Football continues to grow in popularity within the School. We had over 400 players attend the Easter camp at Northgate in preparation for the GPS season. Of the 269 games played, the School won 164, drew 30 and lost 75. Of our 42 teams, 36 played an official GPS season consisting of five games or more. We won three A team premierships, and 14 BGS teams finished as competition leaders overall.

The younger-aged teams claimed four premierships including three at A-level. Teams that finished as competition leaders were the 5As, 5Bs, 6As and 7As. Also, of the 13 official junior competitions, BGS finished on the podium in 10. This was a strong performance that indicates a promising future for BGS Football.

In the older-aged groups, several teams finished as competition leaders: the 8Es, 8Cs, 9Ds, 9Cs, 9Bs, 10Cs, 10Bs and the Fourth XI. Eight of those teams achieved the ultimate result and

finished the season undefeated. I am very proud of the fact that we were highly competitive at A and B level with placings for 12 out of 16 teams. Out of 36 teams we finished in the top three in 27 competitions. Most pleasing was that for the eighth year in a row, BGS had eight winning Saturdays in head-to-head against their opponents. BGS Football can rightfully claim more wins and therefore more teams as competition leaders than any other GPS school over the same period.

In summary, our 2018 results reflect the hard work of our teams and the genuine effort of the School to provide a worthwhile and positive experience for all.

I would like to congratulate our First XI coaching staff: Mr Mark Brusasco, Richard Cooper, Haydn Murray, Marty Lane and Sam Brusasco. Your dedication and professionalism provided the perfect environment for our boys to grow as footballers. I commend our senior leaders, Captain Tomas Ray and Vice Captain Brad Mills, on their leadership of the community.

Finally, this year we farewell both Mr Mark Brusasco and Ms Lynda Kerridge from the program. On behalf of all BGS footballers past and present, I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank both Mark and Lynda for their commitment and service to not only BGS Football, but the School, and wish them both the very best in retirement.

Gymnastics

BGS was once again privileged to host the GPS Gymnastics Championship in 2018. In this historic year, with BGS celebrating 150 years, the GPS association also celebrated 100 years. Gymnastics is the oldest sport involved in the GPS association and was a foundation sport. This made 2018 special in so many ways. Congratulations to the entire squad of gymnasts and coaches for the outstanding result of another clean sweep and eighth consecutive GPS championship.

A very special thank you to the coaches for their constant effort and enthusiasm over the year. It has been a pleasure for the coaching team to be able to work with the group of young men who participated in gymnastics this year. A big thank you to Mrs Marina Partridge, Mr Ben Wilson, Mr Thomas Grogan, Mr Ben Costin, Mr Curtis Hooper, Mr Jamie Cannon and Mr Elliott Stitt for their work with all the gymnasts.

Throughout the year BGS gymnasts had the opportunity to compete at many external competitions, with many gymnasts representing the School at a state level. A very special congratulations to Fletcher Griffiths, Brooklyn Brougham, Luke Graham, Alistair Hoole, Zachary Simpson-Wylde, Kristian Russell and Oliver Waterhouse, who all earned a place in the Queensland team to compete at the Australian Championships in May. All were part of the winning Queensland team.

The 2018 BGS championship was as smooth and enjoyable as ever. This year’s event was utilised as the final selection for GPS teams following the Australian Championship. The gymnasts all worked very hard and supported each other brilliantly, which gave the coaches plenty of confidence leading into GPS. All our champions deserved their spot with a tight competition across the divisions. The following boys were our BGS Championship winners: Josh Wong (Division 3), Jacob Nucifora (Division 2) and Zachary Simpson-Wylde (Division 1).

This year saw some changes in the GPS championship, with only A teams in Division 2 and 3 competing. However, our entire Division 2 and 3 squads were involved in the lead up meets, BGS championship and all training sessions. Our Division 3 team started off the day with a brilliant victory. Their enthusiasm and efforts to support each other all year really paid off. Congratulations to our Division 3 A team: Jake Barrientos, Andrew Clare, Jack Duncan, Joshua Khoo, Lachlan Russell and Joshua Wong.

Our Division 2 unit were an absolute pleasure for all coaches to work with. Their mixture of experience and youth brought an energy and drive that was great to see. On the floor, the team managed to fight back after a hard start. The competition and dedication to making every training session count as a squad helped our A team really fight back when it mattered. It was a great victory for our Division 2 A team consisting of Matthew Adi, Daniel Allison, Will Glastonbury, Jack Henry, Jacob Nucifora and Ethan VanderWal.

With quite a young Division 1 team there was always going to be some learning along the way and I am pleased that all our gymnasts accepted this and really dug in when the lessons and challenges arose. It was enjoyable to watch the team compete as a unit and really support all the members of our Division 1 squad. The results reflect how our gymnasts never let up through the competition. Congratulations to Brooklyn Brougham, Luke Graham, Fletcher Griffiths, William Heaven, Alistair Hoole, Callum McCarthy, Kristian Russell, Zachary Simpson-Wylde, Oliver Waterhouse and Captain Douglas Lumley.

It is with pleasure I thank our departing seniors. This year we see Doug Lumley and Matthew Adi finishing their time at BGS as students. It has been extremely gratifying watching both these young men develop into such great individuals who will head into the next part of their lives knowing they have given everything asked of them and more.

A big thank you to the MAGS group, in particular Deb Lumley and Christina Adi for their time and efforts over all these years. Thank you to Mr Anthony Micallef, Mr Ron Cochrane, Mrs Louise Evans, Ms Lynda Kerridge and Mr Shaun Glastonbury for all the work, help and support they offer to Gymnastics. A special thank you to Mr Mark Brusasco who has always supported everyone involved in the gymnastics community.

I look forward to the challenges of 2019 knowing we will do all we can to make it a fantastic year.

Rowing

Open First VIII

Rowing began at Brisbane Grammar School in about 1880 when no other school rowing program existed. In 1890, a crew of past and present Grammar School oarsmen, including the School Captain, HT Bell, won the NSW fours championship. One can only imagine how our southern neighbours felt about some school boys from Queensland taking away a championship in those early days. In 1918, at the very beginning of the GPS Association, the inaugural GPS Head of the River was held –known as the ‘All Schools Race’. The Southport School won the event with Brisbane Grammar School in second and Brisbane Boys’ College placing third. Rowing has been an important sport in the life of Brisbane Grammar School and the GPS from the very early days. In 2018, we celebrated 150 Years of Brisbane Grammar School and 100 years of GPS Competition and the sport of rowing remains as relevant and exciting as it was when it began.

The rowers of the 2018 GPS Season can be proud of their efforts. The program has turned an important cultural corner allowing more boys to enjoy their participation in this great and traditional sport. Allowing the students to ‘own’ their rowing experience, the boat shed, equipment and training has resulted in increased motivation and engagement. Rowing is a great vehicle for developing leadership. While participation is growing, performance is too. The Year 10 First Quad won their event at the GPS Head of the River in and outstanding display of oarsmanship as did the Year 9 First Quad at the Junior Head of the River. Performance in these boats is an encouraging sign for the future. The Open Second VIII placed third and the Open First VIII produced their best race of the season on the most important day to overcome close rival BBC into fifth place. Other winning crews included the Year 9 Fourth and Fifth Quads while the Year 9 Second and Third Quads placed second, resulting in BGS being the leading school overall at the Junior Head of the River.

Captain Harry Lusk and Vice Captain David Weightman led the shed with discipline and care. Their influence grew in the shed and the school throughout the season, as they led by example and gave numerous motivating public addresses at the shed and to the whole school at assembly.

BGS Rowers participated in a wide range of events and activities throughout the season including:

• Queensland Schools Rowing Championships, Rockhampton

• Ergo and Sculling Selection Trials

• A 5km time trial on the upper reaches of the Brisbane River against GT and NC.

• Grafton training camps in December and January

• The annual BGS Rowathon, with crews making their way to the Gateway Bridge and back to West End

• GPS lead up regattas at Wyaralong Dam

• The GPS Head of the River on the 10 March 2018.

The Tipperoo Support Group again provided outstanding support to the program in the form of logistics, ‘friendraising’ and fundraising under the able leadership of President David Weightman. There are few schools that have Olympic Silver Medalist Oarsman as parents, coaches and mentors. We are indeed fortunate to have such great support. Rowing Administrator Mrs Louise Evans joined the program in 2018 and has added real value in developing the weekly rowing newsletters that have kept the rowing community informed. Thank you to Boatman Mr Jordan Schiller for his commitment and diligence in boat shed operations and his coaching skill with 2016 Olympian Ms Jess Hall overseeing the Year 10 1st Quad. Thank you also to our committed group of coaches that supported the boys on their rowing journey this year. We look forward to rowing in 2019 as the program moves from strength to strength.

Rugby

Opens First XV Rugby

In 2018, BGS Rugby fielded 23 teams from the 11Cs to our flagship First XV. To all our coaches, managers, age coordinators and numerous other volunteers, I thank you for your passion, and the commitment you made to our boys across these teams.

Preseason commenced at the beginning of Term 2 incorporating specialist coaching and advice around athletic development, rugby skills and nutrition. We had 145 boys participate in this program. Trial matches against both GPS and non-GPS schools were also played, providing our boys with an enhanced opportunity to perform in our Term 3 competition. To our Director of Athletic Development Mr Jamie Youngson, I thank you for your guidance and input over this period.

It was once again a pleasure to witness the enthusiasm of our younger boys and their progress throughout the season. Game day is always such an enjoyable time viewing the energy of the U11s, building to the athleticism and skill of our First XV.

The First XV proved to be distinguished role models for our program. While the results did not always go their way, they are to be commended for the resilience and combativeness they displayed each week. To the First XV Captain Emile Tuimavave and Vice Captain Dennis Waight, I congratulate you on how you led both your team and the whole Rugby program. To the First XV staff: Head Coach Mr Paul Warwick, Assistant Coach Mr Andrew Coady, conditioner Mr Adam Bloch, physio Mr Michael Dalgleish, Manager Mr Matt Langlois and Assistant Manager James Van de Graaff, thank you for your wonderful contributions.

I would also like to acknowledge the BGS Rugby players who were selected to representative teams in 2018: Dennis Waight in the Queensland Open Schoolboys 1 and Australian Barbarians;

To all our Open rugby players who are finishing at BGS, I thank you for your contributions to our program over many years. I wish you all well in your future rugby and academic endeavours.

Organisationally, many hours of work behind the scenes takes place to ensure that our program can run effectively. I would like to acknowledge the demanding work of our ground staff, coaches, managers and age coordinators. To Mrs Kate Borger, thank you for your tireless efforts and assistance around program administration. To our match officials, both students and external volunteers, thank you for your selfless contributions. To Mr John Fison, President of the Normanby Blues and your committee, I thank you for the many hours of work you do behind the scenes.

We are extremely fortunate to have access to so many fantastic medical practitioners; your efforts and expertise are certainly not taken for granted and I thank you on behalf of all boys and their parents.

In closing, I would like to thank all our players and parents for your contribution to our program this year. Long after the fulltime whistle is blown and the score is forgotten, the memories remain, and it is you that makes BGS Rugby so special.

Sailing

A and B Team Sailing

Vice Captain William Power and I were privileged to lead the Brisbane Grammar School Sailing community in 2018, under the guidance of long-serving MiC Mr Kobez.

The Term 4 preseason saw last year’s graduating sailors vacate their roles, making way for the skippers and crews of younger grades. An inexperienced yet determined squad, we placed second in the term’s teams racing round-robin competition, which filled us with great confidence moving forward to 2018. Likewise, the annual sailing clinic in mid-January allowed us five days of intensive training and the chance to take stock of the wealth of young talent within the community.

Bolstered by past efforts and a final Sunday of preseason training, where we launched a new ‘Hobie’ training catamaran alongside three new racing boats, the season commenced with our participation in the RQYS schools racing competition. The weekly series was an opportunity to race against competitive schools in both fleet and teams formats, which each year is beneficial preparation for the GPS fleet racing championship, and the teams racing state title.

We had some success in the regular season in fleet racing, with William Power and his crew, Oscar Akhaven earning the title of champions over the 16 races of the season.

In a break from tradition for teams racing, however, the first two rounds saw provisional results separate the competing teams into two divisions. Despite the change, BGS was one of only two schools to place two teams in the first (or gold) division. The successes of the Seconds saw them beat the Firsts on several occasions, and earn them a well-deserved fourth place overall by season’s end.

After the final round of the regular racing season in March, the BGS sailing community held a weekend training for the GPS championships. The Firsts and Seconds spent a valuable morning

racing in a joint training session with BBC, with both schools keen to break TSS’s five straight years of GPS Sailing titles. With the racing being highly competitive, we knew the results we were targeting would be hard to come by. Nevertheless, we arrived at Manly with newfound confidence due to the additional preparation.

The GPS championship was comprised of seven races and our placings were consistent throughout the day, with both the Firsts and Seconds recording several top-10 finishes, moving us clear of most of the competition, despite struggling to keep up with The Southport School. In a last stand for the title, BGS boats held down positions first through to fourth after the first leg of the course during race six. After the final race, however, BGS left the water eight points behind rivals TSS, albeit well clear of the remainder of the field.

Despite once again finishing runner-up, BGS demonstrated the depth within our community in placing second against more experienced competition with much more time on water. When rival schools have wavered in their commitment to their sailing programs, results such as these show that BGS has remained strong in what many in the program consider a rebuilding year. Furthermore, the competitive spirit evident in all aspects of the sport is a credit to our boys, coaches, support staff and remaining rivals.

While this marked the end of the RQYS and GPS seasons, the Queensland State Team Sailing Championship was still to be sailed in the Easter holidays. Competing for a place at Nationals and with tweaked team combinations, BGS began strongly on the first day of the three-day regatta. Tied second by this point, we were disappointed to see our results drop away, resulting in our hopes for Nationals being disappointed by the final afternoon.

Regardless, on approach to the Term 4 preseason, preparation for 2019 has gone from strength to strength. With the great depth that the community has shown throughout 2018, Vice Captain William Power and I have no doubt that the countless hours of effort dedicated by our Old Boy coaches, Miss Richmond, Ms Sanderson and of course Mr Kobez will be rewarded for years to come. Likewise, the consistent support of the Spinnakers Committee, parents and the involvement of each generation of BGS sailors continues to develop the deep bonds within our community.

When Will and I look back at our contribution to the program, we will feel both proud and honoured. The experiences we, and the other graduating sailors have gained over six years in BGS Sailing have become treasured memories. We thank everyone involved and wish all BGS sailors our best for the coming year.

I will confine myself to echoing Nicholas in thanking all involved, and commend him, Vice Captain William Power, and all our sailors on an admirable season in 2018.

Swimming

Captain of Swimming

‘Veni, natavi, vici’ (I came, I swam, I conquered)

Brisbane Grammar School’s Swimming team completed 2018 as GPS champions, overcoming the long, arduous and challenging swimming season to capture back-to-back victories. The 2018 squad stands proudly among the 19 BGS teams who have won the GPS Swimming championship since its inception, and we have confidently paved the way for next year’s swimmers to affirm our place in GPS history.

The GPS Swimming season demands nothing but the utmost commitment from our athletes. Those who are the best swimmers do not necessarily perform the best at the GPS championship. One must live and breathe swimming and fully embrace the GPS spirit. At the start of our annual GPS Swimming camp I challenged the boys to reach for victory and enjoy the journey: body, mind and spirit. Physical competence alone would not see them lift the trophy. Only if their resilience, their mental agility and their athletic strength were finely tuned and synchronised would the team succeed. Having witnessed the boys adopt this as a mantra throughout the season, I believe that our commitment both in and out of the pool separated us from the competition, making us the champions.

School Championship

The stellar results posted at the annual BGS championship in Week 3 instilled hope in a somewhat physically fatigued team. The day saw some outstanding performances. Most notably, the following boys were age champions of their respective age groups.

Junior GPS Championship

The Middle School team finished the season with an overall placing of sixth. This is a commendable result by our junior GPS Swimming team, and I congratulate them on the way they conducted themselves at the championship. The overall result on the day shows promise for next year. We also look forward to improvement with the appointment of Bobby Jovanovich as National Age Coach and Coordinator of Middle School Swimming.

Congratulations to the following boys who won their events on the day.

Junior GPS Championship First Placegetters

to fruition. It was in the relays where our resilience and our overwhelmingly talented team shone brightly; our depth was unmatchable. We proudly emerged victorious, beating TSS by 23 points.

There were numerous outstanding individual performances throughout the day, however special mention must go to Tom Rimmington who broke a 20-year-old GPS record in the 16&U 50m Breaststroke. Alexander Grant, Michael Jones, Hunter Pyne and Alexander Fenton also won individual events during the afternoon.

Senior GPS Championship

With a huge army of supporters cheering on the BGS swimmers, the senior GPS carnival was a very exciting competition. The Southport School and Nudgee College took off to an early points lead, posting many victories in the first half of the program. As BGS swimmers started to come to the fore during the breaststroke and butterfly events, the point margin between TSS and BGS shortened and our team started to gain momentum. We went into the relays neck and neck with TSS and knew that victory was within our reach. MiC Mr Logan and Head Coach Mr Lush watched on as hundredths of seconds dictated the success of the team. Mr Lush briefed each relay team, reminding every boy of the hunger and drive to win we addressed at the season’s opening training camp. We walked out to the blocks for the last races of the day, and all of the training, the meters covered, and the sacrifices made throughout the season came

As Captain of Swimming in 2018, I would like to thank Headmaster Mr Micallef, Deputy Headmaster of Extracurricular Mr Brusasco, Director of Sport Mr Cochrane, MiC of Swimming Mr Logan and Director of Coaching Mr Lush for allowing Gregor Stewart and me the opportunity to lead the BGS Swimming community to an outstanding victory. Additionally, I would like to thank all the teachers and staff who supported us throughout the season. Your dedication to us as students and athletes is unwavering and deeply appreciated. It is something we are privileged to have at BGS.

I believe that each individual who trained, who supported, who swam, who raced are all champions; we celebrate together. I give my best to the BGS Swimming team of 2019 with hopes to return next year to witness continued BGS Swimming dominance.

Tennis

Captain of Tennis

The 2018 Tennis season was the School’s most successful ever for boys throughout the program, a feat that all should be extremely proud of. The collective efforts of each boy in each team from Years 5 to 12 contributed to the huge success of BGS Tennis in 2018.

The preseason was packed with rigorous training during Term1, and camps and tournament trips during the Easter holidays. Tournaments gave the boys countless hours of match play and vital experience they could draw upon during the season. It also gave the boys added confidence knowing they had prepared in the best manner possible. The selection process for the First IV was intense, with a large number of boys with great ability aiming for a position in the team. This added excitement to the training and tournaments leading up to the season but I’m sure it also left Mr Fancutt with a difficult choice in choosing the team to represent the School in the dark blue shirts.

BGS opened the season with a convincing win against Ipswich Grammar School with every single team from Years 5 to 12 coming away with a win. This display of dominance continued through to the next week of matches with the BGS Tennis program as a whole defeating our traditional tennis rivals BBC with 23 wins and eight losses. This exceptional performance can be attributed to the hard work that the boys put in preseason. The BGS program went on to convincingly defeat Churchie, TSS, Terrace, Nudgee, State High then Toowoomba, ending the season with 20 premiership winning teams. These were the best results ever seen by BGS and once again the boys should be proud of their accomplishment.

The 2018 First IV was a young, but in no way inexperienced, team. Throughout the season the boys performed exceptionally well and were within grasp of a premiership, although they fell slightly short. Nevertheless, as Captain of Tennis and Captain of the Firsts, I would like to congratulate these boys for an outstanding season.

None of these accomplishments would have been possible without the guidance of the extremely knowledgeable coaching staff BGS is so fortunate to have. I would like to thank Mr Harry Lee for all the work he does behind the scenes. Messers Chris and Charlie Fancutt are some of the most knowledgeable coaches out there, and the boys they coach feel fortunate to have such great coaches. Mr Michael Fancutt has devoted years to the BGS Tennis program and we cannot thank him enough for all his work. Thanks also to the Wimbledon Club for all the hard work they do, not only during the season, but throughout the year.

On a personal note, I would like to thank all the boys who have made my last five years playing for BGS so special. There is an unparalleled bond between the tennis cohort, and I have made lasting friendships during my five-year journey. I’m sure this is a sentiment shared by many boys in the program. It has been a pleasure captaining the program this year, and I wish BGS Tennis all the best for the future.

Josh Eglesfield Captain of Tennis

Tennis First IV

Back Row (L to R): Mr Michael Fancutt, James Kenny, Angus Gentner.

Front Row (L to R): Elliott James, William Jesser, Joshua Eglesfield, Alex Patane.

2018 was a tremendously successful year for the BGS Tennis program. With 32 teams competing in the GPS competition, BGS produced 19 undefeated teams and 20 premiership winning teams. This stemmed from great leadership of the program from our Tennis Captain, Josh Eglesfield and Vice Captain, Marcus Ray – both who finished stellar BGS Tennis careers. Overall, BGS had a total of 181 team wins, 19 losses, and two ties. This is a great achievement for all who were a part of the program and reflects a 90 per cent win rate for the entire BGS Tennis program in 2018. This result confirmed BGS as the best overall school in the 2018 GPS competition. The First IV enjoyed a well-fought season and were within one set of winning back the GPS premiership. Everyone involved in the BGS Tennis program is excited to see what our hard-working young men will produce in 2019. Alex Patane won the School singles title as BGS Tennis Champion, with Joshua Eglesfield finishing as runner-up.

In the GPS Tennis off-season, there are plenty of tournaments and competitions our boys compete in. Super League has been a great way for players to continue improving in match play situations and to enjoy playing tennis with friends. We have 20 Super League teams in different divisions each semester and have seen a lot of success throughout these divisions. Congratulations to George Levonis and Isaac Smyth who won the Division 1 Super League competition in semester 1. There were also great results in tournament play at each of the local, state and national levels.

We would like to give a special thank you to the staff that helped make the GPS season possible by organising the players and making sure match days ran on time: Mr Daniel Celm (Opens); Mr Will Peden and Mrs Amanda Hart (Year 11); Mr Mark Avery (Year 10); Mr James Struthers (Year 9); Miss Rebecca Wirth (Year 8); Mr Jeffery Lewis (Year 7); Miss Lauren Edwards (Year 6); and Mrs Melanie Brooks (Year 5).

Running BGS Tennis all year round would not be possible without the help of the Wimbledon Club.

The Wimbledon Club consists of parents who volunteer every week during the GPS season and throughout the Tennis season. Thank you to Warwick Smyth (President); Sandra Tam (Treasurer); Jill James (Secretary); Jaya Ganasan (Opens); Anita Salmon (Year 11); Marie-Louise Theile (Year 10); Sandra Tam (Year 9); Richard Price (Year 8); Fiona Lodge (Year 7); Jill James (Year 6); and Margie Bale (Year 5).

Congratulations to all the players who woke up early, trained hard, competed well, and represented BGS and the Tennis community in a wonderful manner. The sportsmanship and fun that our boys showed on court throughout the year was fantastic to see and a pleasure to work with. The BGS Tennis staff are excited about working with our boys during the off-season to make the entire program even better next year!

Regional and State Championships

Congratulations to the 75 BGS athletes who attended the Regional Championship and competed in some 185 events. This saw 31 BGS squad members compete in 51 events at the State Championship. This was tremendous preparation for athletes and the team leading into the GPS Championship.

GPS Junior Championship

The GPS junior championship was held on 24 October with the ‘Mighty Midgets’ doing an outstanding job to finish third. The importance of competing for every point was illustrated by fourth place being only half a point behind third. Some 52 boys engaged in the program, with over 300 training sessions completed. This stands BGS in good stead for the future with the boys enjoying the experience and understanding the need to increase engagement. Some great results on the day included the following place getters: Liam Buktenica – long jump, hurdles, high jump; Tom Clayton – hurdles, 200m, discus, shot put; Tom Brandt – hurdles, 200m, 100m; Salvotore Leotta – hurdles, 800m; Henry Mercer – hurdles; Anson Qui-Tang – hurdles, long jump; Nick Scott – hurdles, 200m, high jump, 100m; Mitchell Khoo – hurdles; Max Balthes – hurdles; Will Neilson –200m, 100m; Henry Slatter – 200m; Alex Spence – 200m, 800m; Charlie Renshaw – 200m;

GPS Championship

Prior the GPS championship we spoke about the need to battle and fight as a team for each point. The team responded, surging from eighth place, 2 points in front of ninth, to receive a highly rewarding and respectable fourth place.

Our fight was very capably led by our senior athletes with victories for Riley Womal – 800m; Benjamin Ganko – 1500m; Alexander Stitt – 3000m; Dennis Waight – shot put; Anton Vellnagel – javelin; 4 x 400m – Joey Lawrence, Elliott Blue, Marcus Ray and Riley Womal. Other victories on the day included Tom Stunden – 15 years discus; Lachlan Gorringe – 16 years 800m; Alex Thakur – 13 years 400m. However, this does not tell the true story of the day. The data shows the effort by all team members, with some 34 personal bests over the 69 events. This is a tremendous credit to athletes and coaching staff.

Examples of the extra efforts include: Lachlan Leung scoring six more points than expected in the 15 years triple jump with a 1 metre PB; Matthew Pyman scoring an extra three points in hurdles; Toby Choi in shot put; Harry Logan and Ethan Love in long jump; Andrew Ekeledo Smith with PB’s in both long and triple jump; Joey Lawrence in the triple jump; Sieg Mackellar in long jump and 200m; Rory Wilkinson in the 200m; Marcus Bean in the javelin; Alex Thakur in the triple jump; Hugo Gandhi in an 8 second PB in the 800m; in the 100m Diyen Ng, Elijah Wong, Marcus Ray, James Walters in the 400m; Andrew Clare in the 400m (0.5 second PB) and also in the 200m; Harrison Martinenko in the open 400m; Finnian Raymond with a 5 sec PB in the 1500m; Will Egan in Open high jump. The relays were superb including the all- age 400m. The 13 years 4 x 100m of Diyen Ng, Ethan Love, Jack Love and Toby Choi ran tremendously with other relay PB’s including the 14 years, 16 years and Open teams. Special mention to Brad Mackintosh and Oliver Spence who in their first GPS senior championship competed up a year level to help out the team.

My thanks to the skilled and dedicated coaching staff who ably led the large number of boys from Years 5 to 12: Mr Ian Fardon, Ms Anne O’Rourke, Mr Paul Warwick, Mr Tim Holzgrefe, Mr Matt Logan, Dr Dale Owens, Mr Martin Lippiatt, Mr Gus Robertson, Mr Greg Di-Losa, Mr Adam Bloch, Mr Stephen Hows, Mr Kris Hallis and Mr Andrew Webb. Without their support the Junior Team could not have come third by half a point, nor could the Senior team have scored 34 PB’s from a possible 69 events. With the influx of talented younger athletes the squad should eagerly look forward to 2019.

Best wishes to our Year 12 students with their future endeavours. Years 5 to 11 students, we hope you continue your development with dedication and commitment next year.

First VI Volleyball

Brisbane Grammar School Volleyball continues to grow from strength to strength, with the program dominating the GPS competition across all year levels in 2018. The First VI gave their very best and were always very supportive of the younger boys who play this great game. Captain Harry Wilson and Vice Captain Jason Lin were outstanding leaders, and were always generous with their assistance both on and off the court.

This year BGS had the most teams of all the GPS Schools, with 24 teams taking to the court each week. So many of our teams were championship winners and the Years 7, 8 and 9 boys particularly dominated their respective rivals in the competition. This bodes well for the continued success of Volleyball at BGS.

As this was my last GPS season as ‘Mother-in-Charge’ of volleyball, I know that I leave this program in wonderful hands, with Rhys Cox now becoming the Director of Volleyball. It has been an honour to have lead this sport and the community, and I have loved being so involved with the boys. I know it is time for me to step down and give Rhys the opportunity to further cement his place within the Volleyball program. He is already a wonderful role model for the boys and I know he will take Volleyball to even greater heights.

I also acknowledge the fantastic work of the parent communities over the years. Without your assistance, we could not have achieved such success and cohesion. It has been a pleasure to work beside you over the last ten years.

Ms Lynda Kerridge MiC Volleyball

Captain of Volleyball

The Volleyball program successfully creates opportunities, allowing us to meet new people and play a sport we are passionate about. It also gives us the chance to evolve into a respected athlete with the qualities of an inspiring leader, selfless player, and an all-round great mate to the boys around him. This year, we set out with a clear vision: to be recognised as the leading GPS Volleyball school. Our theme was ‘Driven by Legacy’, and we have certainly made significant inroads to achieving this.

This year, the Year 7 boys trained and enjoyed their first season of GPS Volleyball. It was wonderful to see their love for the game, as well as their commitment to each training session and performances each Saturday. The 7As, Bs, Cs and Ds all secured spots as competition leaders. Hopefully, this will drive them to play volleyball for the rest of their journey at BGS.

The Years 8 and 9 teams dominated their respected fixtures, with 8As, Bs, Cs, Ds and 9As, Bs, Cs, Ds and Es securing spots as competition leaders. Congratulations to both these year levels for the commitment you have shown on and off the court and as role models for Year 7.

Despite facing tough competition, the Year 10 cohort showed great resilience and persistence. The 10As were only just knocked off a podium finish, and the 10Bs third place shows promising signs for the future.

Front Row (L to R): Shor Mizuno, Rohan Rahman, Tom Brunckhorst, Jason Lin (Vice Captain), Harry Wilson (Captain), Nick Rush, Anton Vellnagel.

The Year 11s had another thrilling season as a cohort. The 11As, Bs and Cs proved how strong they are, securing positions at the top of the ladder. I have no doubt they will do the same next year, re-claiming the premiership for BGS.

This was the last year of BGS Volleyball for the Year 12 boys. We started on a journey in Year 8, not knowing what to expect. This year we were the closest we had been in years, both on and off the court. The Third VI secured third place and the Second VI fought in a tough competition, placing fifth; this did not represent their full potential. The First VI started the season strong with a classy win over Ipswich Grammar School. However, the wrong mindset going into Round 2 and poor teamwork saw BGS fall short against BBC. We knew we had to secure victories in the upcoming rounds against our main rivals, Churchie and Terrace. We left nothing on the court for both these games, although Churchie and Terrace proved to be better teams on the day. It would have been easy for us to give up the rest of the season then, but we knew we needed to show the community that Volleyball is not all about winning and losing. The next three games we played at a better standard, securing 3-0 victories for the remainder of the season, placing fourth overall. This was not the ideal spot for us, but we gained many positives from it, and doing so brought this team closer than ever, creating lifelong memories.

Ms Kerridge puts in an enormous amount of work for this community, and I thank her for another spectacular year as Mother-in-Charge.

I also thank the Old Boys for giving their time to coach boys playing this awesome game. To the community overall, we are one of the strongest and most organised communities out of any sport played at BGS. This achievement is well-deserved and I know it will only get better in future.
