It is one heck of a sporting event that can bring Curtis Stone all the way back from Los Angeles, where he is a revered chef with two top restaurants, to cook up a storm for Melbourne foodies. A pop-up version of his Sunset Boulevard fine diner Gwen (which he runs with brother Luke) will grace the greens at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club for the Presidents Cup in December. In this edition, Stone shares memories of his late grandmother Gwen, whose own wood-fired cooking informs the decadently primal menu and proves even refined palates can be inspired by lovingly humble origins. ●

FIRST PERSON

““I am Associate Professor Alan Duffy” … an astronomer and astrophysicist I’ve always been curious about the world around me – I was that annoying kid asking, “why, why, why?” Luckily, my parents encouraged it. However, it wasn’t until I read Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time as a precocious 12-year-old that I knew there was even a job of being an astronomer. I had a terrible time in my final year of high school trying to pick what to study, but in the end I chose physics because it kept my options open. Eventually, I took a PhD at the University of Manchester, based around creating universes with super computers and seeing them grow. At the end of it, a post-doctoral position opened up at the University of Western Australia. Australia was embarking on building the Square Kilometre Array

– the biggest telescope ever conceived – and was pulling in astronomers from all around the world, and I was lucky enough to be part of the team. After that, I was able to present my work: what could this telescope see, how many galaxies could it find and what could we learn about the darker side of our universe – the invisible side that’s formed of dark matter, which we now know outweighs every atom we can see combined five times over. It wasn’t sufficient to just do the science; I also had to go out and explain it. So, at Swinburne, half of my life is engagement and half is research. It’s the closest I’ve ever got to the dream job. For a decade now, I’ve been focused on one of the biggest questions in science: what is the nature of

As told to

dark matter? I try to figure out what it’s made of and what its properties are by creating baby universes. Then, I try to find that dark matter in the lab as part of the SABRE Dark Matter Experiment. In terms of my day-to-day, a lot of the time it’s brainstorming with my students, working with colleagues, doodling equations or logging onto super computers and trying to fix code or program new types of universes to simulate. Then I switch gears, which could involve speaking to the public, being on TV or going into schools. I have to say, it’s a thrilling challenge to keep a group of six-year-olds entertained about dark matter. ● ● alanrduffy.com

urtis Stone remembers Gwen, his nana, very fondly. “She was always in the kitchen and just your typical Aussie nan,” he says. “She came from a very simple background, living on a farm outside of Melbourne. “My mother lived on the farm with Gwen, and her father, Ernie. It was a pretty simple existence.” While Gwen’s life may have seemed much like that of many other Australians, the way she lived her life still inspires Stone, 43, who is one of Australia’s most loved chefs and a Michelinstarred restaurateur. One of his two top Los Angeles restaurants is called the Gwen Butcher Shop & Restaurant while the other is named Maude, after his grandmother from his father’s side. Fondly known simply as Gwen, the restaurant will have its first ever Australian presence in December, with a pop-up experience at the Presidents Cup at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Black Rock.

here’. It was pretty cool.” Gwen, like Maude, would be very proud of what her grandson has achieved. As well as the two restaurants in Los Angeles, he is the face of Coles in Australia and has built a huge television career in the US. He got his TV break hosting the Channel 7 reality show My Restaurant Rules back in 2004, which was partly filmed in Fitzroy Street, St Kilda. Stone is one of the favourites to join the new judging panel of MasterChef Australia after George Calombaris, Gary Mehigan and Matt Preston left the show earlier this year. He and his wife Lindsay Price were among the select few invited to a recent state dinner hosted by US President Donald Trump at the White House. The couple live in Los Angeles and have two sons, Emerson, 5, and Hudson, 8. Stone is back and forth from Australia a number of times during the year but, at the moment, LA is home.

“It’s a cool city to live in,” he says of his home. “The weather is bloody beautiful. “There are a lot of things I don’t like about it too, but there are a lot of things I do like. We are really close to the beach, and when you’ve got young kids, that is a good thing.” Growing up in the ’80s and ’90s in Melbourne in between kicking the footy, he always had a love of food. “I started cooking as a kid,” he says. “I’ve always been a greedy little bugger, and I still am. I’ve always been obsessed with the way things taste. When something tastes really good, I get really excited about it.” Stone went to high school at Essendon Grammar, a boys’ school that is now co-ed and called Penleigh and Essendon Grammar. He went to school with now celebrated chef Shannon Bennett , who is the same age as him. The two studied home economics early on.

The menu made with love COVER STORY Inspired by the memory of his grandmother, chef Curtis Stone is bringing his restaurant home. Both Gwen and Maude passed away in 2008, but they are never far from Stone’s memory. The way Gwen and Ernie raised his mother Lorraine is something he will never forget. “They had a few cows that they used to milk and sell the milk,” he says. “Mum always talks about that, when the cheque would arrive from the butter company. That was a big, exciting moment for them. “They would also cut firewood and take it down to the people in the city. “They were market gardeners and they had a bunch of veggies they’d grow.” Everything in Gwen’s kitchen was cooked on a wood-fired stove. When Stone and his brother Luke, who is a coowner, opened the restaurant in Los Angeles in 2016, both of them felt she was with them in spirit. Like Gwen in her life, the restaurant relies on a trusty old wood-fired stove. “It was funny the night we opened, actually I lit the fires and my brother and I went upstairs, and we then walked back into the space and we could both smell the fires,” he says. “I looked at him and I was like, ‘it’s like she is

“We decided to do home eco to meet the girls, because at the time it was an all-boys’ school and home eco was taught at the girls’ school,” he says. “We’d get the bus over and try to meet some girls. We didn’t meet any girls, but somehow we both learnt how to cook.” The 120-seat Gwen at the Presidents Cup will serve a lunch and dinner menu. Reservations are available to patrons with general admission tickets. “It’s a world-class event and we thought we’d bring some world-class food,” Stone says of the Presidents Cup. “I’ve also never been able to do a restaurant at home, so it will be fun to bring it to Melbourne.” ●

oppers, aka Appam, are said to have originated from the Indian states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. They are eaten widely in Sri Lanka for breakfast or dinner. I stayed at the ShangriLa Hotel in Colombo during my last visit and was lucky enough to be given a masterclass by Chef Gehan from Kaema Sutra restaurant. He taught me how to make pol sambol, plain hoppers, and egg hoppers as well as the hotel’s signature black hoppers made with squid ink. Pol sambol is a condiment staple to Sri Lankan cuisine. You can make this recipe vegetarian simply by leaving out the Maldive fish. At Kaema Sutra, they are well known for their sweet hopper served with curd and kithul treacle derived from a type of palm tree. Boiled down into a caramel-like consistency, the treacle was a standout. Safe to say, hoppers are versatile and can be served sweet or savoury and eaten pretty much any time of the day. ●

Sri Lankan egg hoppers with pol sambol Ingredients (Makes 12) 1 tsp active dry yeast 1 cup water (lukewarm) 1 tsp salt 3∏ cups rice flour 1 tbsp sugar 400ml coconut milk ∏ tsp baking soda 12 eggs (optional) Pol sambol (Makes 1 cup) 1 tsp of dried red chillies, crushed 1 tbsp red onion, finely chopped 1 tsp ground black pepper 1 tsp Maldive fish chips (optional) 1 cups of coconut, freshly grated (use frozen as substitute) Juice of 1 lime Salt to taste

■ ■

■

Method ■ Mix the yeast and water in a glass and set aside for about 10 minutes until it foams. ■ In a bowl of a stand mixer, combine salt, rice flour, and sugar. Add the yeast mixture and stir to obtain a batter. ■ Cover with a damp towel, and set aside for 2-3 hours in a warm place (standing time can vary. A room temperature of 32 to 35 degrees is ideal).

In the meantime, you can prepare the pol sambol. Once the batter has risen, add in the coconut milk and baking soda and mix until smooth. Cover and set aside for another hour. Batter should have the consistency of a thin crepe batter. If it is too thick, adjust by adding water or coconut milk. If using a non-stick hopper pan, wipe the pan with a paper towel soaked in vegetable oil. If using a more traditional iron hopper pan, add a little more oil. Heat the hopper pan over a high heat, then lower to medium. Add a ladle of hopper batter and immediately swirl the batter around the pan to cover the entire surface. Add an egg in the centre of the hopper to make an egg hopper. This is optional. You may leave the egg out if you wish to have a plain hopper. Cover and cook until the batter sets and the edges are crispy. This should take about 3 to 4 minutes.

Method for pol sambol ■ In a large mortar and pestle, grind together the chillies, onion, pepper and Maldive fish. Add the grated coconut and season with lime juice. Mix well by hand to ensure all the coconut is coated. ■ Season well with salt and combine thoroughly. Serve with the egg hoppers. ●

FOOD & DRINK

A toast to the lobby bar

N E I L PE R RY ’ S R BA R

MICHAEL HARDEN

elbourne has a surprising dearth of good hotel lobby bars, so the recent takeover of the one at Crown Towers by Neil Perry and the Rockpool Group is cause for celebration. R Bar used to be called the Waiting Room, which was originally opened by Perry. Crown has managed it for the past six years but now it’s joined forces with Rockpool again, hitting all the right plush and glitzy notes – carpets and table lamps, intimate booths, bronze mirror and timber panelling, great swathes of emerald green velvet curtains and a sense of unapologetic luxury that gives off a strong Golden Age of Hollywood vibe. It’s so well-conceived that it comes as no surprise that Perry is a fan of the lobby bar genre. “I love the comfort, intimacy and sophistication of lobby bars,” says Perry. “The best ones have the ability to have a great

offer at any time of day for both hotel guests and bar-goers,” he says. “A good hotel lobby bar stretches its appeal throughout a long day, so for breakfast, it’s about great coffee and freshly squeezed juices; for lunch it’s all about great sandwiches while in the evening the attention should turn to snacks, savouries and most of all great craft drink making.” Perry cites the Manhattan bar at the Regent Singapore and the bar at New York’s Mercer Hotel as inspirations but R Bar has obvious Rockpool DNA too, given the focus on small producers and quality ingredients. The drinks list favours artisan distillers, wine producers and barrel-aged cocktails while the extensive food offering namechecks small local producers like Baker Blue bread that’s served with boiled eggs and fetta for breakfast or Yarra Valley caviar with sour cream and blinis for supper. The cocktail list is excellent – extensive without being overwhelming. It mixes it up with well-made lobby bar classics like a Singapore Sling, a list of martinis made with Australian gin, vodka and vermouth (try the full-bodied Poltergeist Unfiltered gin version) and some nicely balanced, sophisticated original cocktails like Br’er Rabbit (sandalwoodwashed bourbon shaken with creme de mure). The food is also a draw, from an excellent cheeseburger through to a caviar menu, devils on horseback and a classic caesar salad. There are not too many places in Melbourne where you can get your inner Cary Grant or Grace Kelly on. R Bar has stylishly increased the pool. ●

Signature drink Barrel-aged cocktails are worth a look with cocktails like Negroni, Old Fashioned or Manhattan, finished in port, sherry or bourbon casks. Order a flight and spot the differences. PAIR IT WITH … A seriously good cheeseburger with its big flavoured grass-fed pattie, sturdy bun and noteworthy pickles. ●

Just dropped Two Suns Premium Dry, 6-pack $21 Just in time for the change in season comes this Japanese-Australian collaboration from Asahi, the Japanese company that recently bought CUB. Two Suns is an easy-drinking wheat beer made with Australian wheat and malt by CUB head brewer Geoff Day in collaboration with his Japanese counterpart Yosuke Tajika. Crisp, dry, minimally bitter, subtly malty and weighing in at 4.2 per cent ABV, Two Suns sits at the refreshing, sessionable end of the beer spectrum. ●

ARTIST IMPRESSION

ART & CULTURE The Archibald Prize 2019 finalists – including the winner – are on show this spring in the sensational Yarra Valley.

Prize collection Wo r d s

JA N E R O C CA

ustralia’s most prestigious art award, the Archibald Prize, is making its Victorian debut at TarraWarra Museum of Art in Healesville, bringing with it the winning work of Tony Costa. Costa painted artist Lindy Lee using his hands instead of paintbrushes. “Did you know that Rembrandt also painted using his thumb?” says Costa, who flew in from Sydney for the opening event in regional Victoria. “It’s nothing new and painters have been doing it for years. A famous painting by Rembrandt called A Woman Bathing In A Stream saw him paint her gown using his thumb. I feel I have a much more direct approach using my hands and my markings are much more definitive as a result.” TarraWarra is the first venue to host the Archibald Prize after the Art Gallery of New South Wales. The exhibition will travel around regional Australia, reaching more than 300,000 visitors along the way. “The Archibald Prize is an extraordinary vehicle to get our work out to the people. It’s a wonderful accolade,” Costa says. It took Costa two days to paint Lee, first approaching the artist and Zen Buddhist after he heard her interviewed at the NSW Art Gallery. “She’s a very busy woman and I had access to her for one day,” Costa says. “She meditated for three hours in the morning and then again for three in the afternoon. “I captured her in the lotus pose, which says as much about her as her physical features. This is someone

who is meditating and it already tells you half the story.” He completed the painting in his studio. Costa, a second generation Italian, says he’s been intrigued by eastern philosophies for decades and was introduced to Buddhism in 1978. “I had a faint idea of what Buddhism was about back then – it wasn’t for me, but I totally respect what it stands for,” he says. “Approaching art in that Zen way I found parallels in that with my own temperament because you have to give in to that way of working to make it work.” Costa is all about trapping energy with every hand movement when he paints. “That’s my ticket to nirvana,” he says. “When I first started experimenting using my hands 30 years ago I wore surgical gloves and felt I had more power. “By getting rid of detail in the work I was delivering something with greater impact. “The painting of Lindy Lee is about peace and serenity. It’s about mood and stillness, I hope that’s what people get from it when they see it.” Among the 51 works in this year’s Archibald Prize exhibition are paintings that portray Australian subjects including renowned actor David Wenham by Tessa MacKay (the winner of the Packing Room Prize), former ballet dancer and director of the Queensland Ballet Li Cunxin by Jun Chen, Anh Do’s portrait of the artist George Gittoes and journalist Annabel Crabb as depicted by Jordan Richardson. ●

Joining the dots A Brazilian artist’s fond memories of Melbourne inspire her vision of vibrant style for the new season.

hen Brazilian illustrator Ana Strumpf was approached by Chadstone to work on their spring/summer campaign, the job had a special place in her heart. Years ago, she came to Melbourne as an exchange student for a stint at Mount Scopus College in 1996. As a result, there are still Melbourne places that she can vividly remember: St Kilda beach and the suburban streets of Caulfield

Wo r d s

(where the family she stayed with lived) among them. “I also remember the art museum and Chapel Street, which was so hip.” Her connection to Melbourne is one example of the way the universe seems to have tilted in her life, providing her opportunities that make sense later on. Another example: when she began taking the images of iconic magazine covers and adding her own vivid illustrations on them – brilliantly

coloured flowers, vibrant butterflies, bold snakes – she never knew it would become her calling card. That happened organically: having moved from Sao Paulo to New York for four years, she would take Skype meetings and draw doodles on magazines during them. When she posted some of those works on Instagram, the artworks attracted attention – and their own exhibition at a Sao Paulo gallery called Re.Cover. Since then, she’s collaborated with illustrious brands including Nina Ricci, Vogue magazine, DVF, La Mer and Clinique. When she was approached by 3 Deep Agency for the Chadstone campaign, it felt like a perfect fit. “I feel that Australia is a cheerful and happy country,” she says. “And I had collaborated with the agency before, working on a capsule collection for Sportscraft when the Olympics were in Rio. I feel

connected to Australia, but I wanted to pass on the vibe that I remembered and tried to be uplifting, because that’s what I remember about the country.” She also did a deep dive into everything Chadstone, and soon saw that “the mall had amazing architecture and some very nice brands”. Although she’s back in her native Brazil, she feels like the world has become more connected through social media. “I have a lot to thank Instagram for. If I wasn’t in New York and didn’t start to post my work on the internet, I wouldn’t be where I am. It became viral very quickly.” One of her favourite illustrated

covers is a take on Harper’s Bazaar Australia, featuring Jessica Hart, where Strumpf added bold jewellery – and eyebrows – to the model. For the Chadstone campaign, she’s given the images a “cosmic, rainbow feeling, with plenty of flowers because of spring”. Although she hasn’t been to Australia lately, she still finds inspiration from travel, as well as her twin sons who are six. And even though her memories from Melbourne are very 1990s-based, they’ve held fast. “I bought my first pair of Doc Martens when I was in Australia, because that’s what all the girls from school used to wear.” But it’s not just Melbourne that she holds close. “I see beauty everywhere. My mind is always focused on the aesthetic side of everything I see.” ● ● chadstone.com.au/fashion/ spring-summer-19

Hats off to real head-turner Geelong milliner Rebecca Share’s creations dazzle at the races, but this time she captured the eye of superstar Jennifer Lopez.

hen Jennifer Lopez’s people first contacted Geelong milliner Rebecca Share, she thought it was someone playing a prank. “When I received an email from a lady explaining that she was a stylist and would like to order eight sparkler visors for the upcoming Jennifer Lopez tour, I thought, ‘Someone’s pulling my leg. I’ll humour them.’” But the email was legitimate, and within a few weeks 28 pieces were being couriered to the US. The excitement didn’t stop there: when the celebrity powers-that-be offered Share VIP tickets to be up-close and personal at the J.Lo tour, she

booked a trip to Las Vegas two days before leaving. Once there, she spent 46 hours in the city “and it was crazy”, she says. “I saw everything I could in the short amount of time. I stayed at the Bellagio hotel and managed to fit in a helicopter ride into the Grand Canyon. It was incredible.” But nothing would beat seeing her own creative output on a massive stage. “The headpieces were an adaptation of a style I had made in a past collection, but I customised the style in silver Lurex material that I had to import from London. The theme of the concert was black, white and silver, and they looked amazing on stage.”

Share also got to meet the diva herself, taking a quick snap with Lopez and exchanging niceties. “She said she loved them; it made all the trekking over worthwhile.” The whirlwind trip was very out of character for Share, who normally lives a relatively quiet life in Geelong with her two children aged 10 and 12. “I usually plan trips 10 months in advance, and book every possible restaurant before I go, so this was unheard of for me – although it was quite liberating!” It’s been a career high point for Share, although there are certainly many others in her 23 years as a milliner. Last year at Flemington, she won the Myer Fashions on the Field Millinery award on Oaks Day, and was contacted by Myer soon after, asking to stock her label this year. Things have come full circle – it was her first win at Fashions on the Field on Derby Day in 1999 that kickstarted her popularity. “I completed a one-year course at the Melbourne

School of Millinery, but I struggled to find my way,” she says. “When I won in 1999, Lillian Frank [both a popular Melbourne personality and hair salon owner] said she loved my hat. “After, I rang her in her hair salon and asked if whether there was any way she could help me get exposure in Melbourne. She was so lovely, and started handing out my number to all her Toorak friends. Soon, I was designing for Ann Peacock at her house, and it all progressed from there.” One of the big names in millinery, Share now also teaches her craft and is chuffed, rather than insulted, when her former students make hats that are similar to her own trademark style. “I am happy that I’ve inspired them.” And, it’s not so unaffordable to be a little bit Lopez-like: the similar Sparkler visor can be bought from Share’s website for $420. Less, of course, if you order 28. ● ● rebeccashare.com.au

Find the perfect match

am often asked about what to look for when selecting a personal trainer. In such a popular and growing industry, there are lots of fantastic trainers out there, but not all trainers are great. This is what I would look for. PERSONALITY \ The reality is most people don’t love to exercise. Ensuring that you and your trainer match well on a personality level will help you enjoy your sessions and your trainer’s company. There is a saying in the fitness industry, “make the medicine taste better” and a trainer that gives you a great workout and has a great personality definitely does this. PROFESSIONALISM \ This is a big one. A professional trainer is organised, punctual, well presented and creates a personalised program for

your goals and your lifestyle. They take the time to understand what you want to do and the challenges or obstacles that you face and they make sure they work with you to get the job done. You know you’ve found a great trainer when you feel that it’s about you, not about them and you know you’ve found the wrong trainer if they look at their phone when you have paid them for their time. QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE \ I definitely don’t think you need someone with a master’s degree or 20 years of experience. However, it is important to see what qualifications your trainer has and, as someone that has been doing this for 20 years, I am comfortable to admit that I am a far better trainer today than I was when I was 20. So, experience does play a role. Of course, as a leader in the industry I want to see young trainers

MOTIVATION AND SUPPORT \ Great trainers know

doubt, the most important point. A great trainer understands that getting in shape isn’t about your body, it is about your mind. A saying that I love is that “if you get your mind right, your body will follow”. If your trainer doesn’t have a high enough level of emotional intelligence to recognise your motivations, your triggers and the reasons you have failed before then they will not be able to get in your head to help you in the long term. The best trainers have an impact on you across all 168 hours of the week, not just the 60 minutes they spend with you. CONVENIENCE \ Of course, if you find the perfect trainer for you it is worth the drive but make sure it is going to work for you practically, because if it is a challenge logistically to get to your sessions from day one it is highly likely not to stick.

that motivation fluctuates and they understand that their client’s motivation is highly likely to be very different to their own. A great trainer provides you with motivation but also the tools and support to make sure you move right and eat well outside of your session. ACCOUNTABILITY \ A great trainer helps you set

realistic and achievable goals but, more importantly, they keep you accountable to them. This ensures that time doesn’t just drift away and that you are training and eating with purpose to ensure that you get value for money and continually make progress. If you’re looking for a trainer it’s a buyer’s market. Do not settle for mediocrity when it is your health and wellbeing at stake and your hard-earned cash going into their pocket. You will be amazed at the range in quality of trainers for similar prices. ● ● 28bysamwood.com

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

Beyond the classroom

nside and outside the classroom, music and technology offer students opportunities to develop new skills and interests and to learn the value of persistence. Music is an essential part of school life at Shelford Girls’ Grammar. Jean McQuarrie, head of music, has been with the school for the past 25 years and has seen many of her former proteges find a fulltime career in the world of music and performance. “Some of them have performed with the Melbourne Conservatorium orchestras, some have worked as composers with the ABC and one student just got her first commission to compose,” says McQuarrie. Extra-curricular music is a popular choice for many of the girls at Shelford. Around 73 per cent of students play a musical instrument and most are also part of an ensemble and spend hours before and after school perfecting their musical skills.

“We have choirs, harmony ensembles, string orchestras, a concert band, guitar ensemble, brass ensemble, jazz ensemble, percussion ensemble and flute ensemble. If a student comes to me and is interested in being part of a rock band or an Irish band, we will form an ensemble so they can pursue that interest,” says McQuarrie. The annual school musical also involves many extra-curricular hours with the junior school and senior school performing in alternate years. This year the junior school performed Annie and next year the senior school students will present Mary Poppins. “The students sing and act and hold positions of responsibility in terms of stage management, sound and lighting,” says McQuarrie. “These experiences don’t only enrich their musicianship but they lead to girls forming crossyear level friendships and the older girls help the

younger girls. Music helps with the students’ academic rigor and discipline, and it presents them with the challenge of being brave enough to perform publicly which is a valuable acquired skill.” At Preshil in Kew, robotics and technology are popular extra-curricular choices for students, with their interest encouraged from early primary school years. Younger children enjoy spending lunchtimes and recess in the “Fish Bowl” – a bright, modern area equipped with a 3D printer, green screen, video and editing software, LEGO and coding programs. “The Fish Bowl is a space where children can explore and be curious,” says Natalie Jensen, assistant principal at Preshil. “Teachers take on projects at lunchtime with groups of children and they’ve used 3D printing to make pieces of jewellery and phone cases and they’ve made films. We get people from the community or parents who are specialists to work with the children – one person worked for Channel 7 and has been making films with the kids.” Younger students use the Cubico coding program

that was developed by specialists in early childhood education, computer engineering and computer linguistics. It helps them understand basic concepts of coding such as command sequences, iteration and looping and conditions and to improve logical thinking and problem-solving skills. Older children can get to grips with Arduino programming, which is a more involved introduction to robotics. “All our classrooms are open at lunchtime, so children can self-initiate activities and projects at that time,” says Jensen. “The focus in all these robotic and technology projects is more on the process than the end result. They learn to design, test, undo something, re-do it and try again, so it’s good for building resilience. “They often try something and when it doesn’t work, they look at it through a different lens to see what they can change. The students will discuss projects together and help each other problemsolve and that continues to encourage their natural curiosity.” ●

rom badminton and basketball to soccer and swimming, sports are a key part of the program for many of Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s independent and state schools. Saturday mornings are a busy time for Caulfield Grammar School students. Classes may be over for the week, but at weekends the effort and attention turn to the sports field, athletics track and swimming pool. The 3300-plus students at the co-educational independent school take part in sport before and after school and compete on Saturdays. More than 400 sports coaches support them along with the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head of sport, Michael Hall.

mental wellbeing. So extra-curricular sports are part of life at Caulfield Grammar from years 5 to 12. “We want students to have a balanced experience at Caulfield Grammar and sport is a vital element of that balance,” says Hall. “There is a great ability to impact the lives of children through sport and its value is immense in terms of health benefits, building resilience and the friendships and connections students make.” Swimming, cricket and touch football are popular during summer and Australian rules and netball are in demand in winter. Athletics is popular, and Caulfield Grammar is also renowned for its prowess in water polo. “Softball, swimming and football are also particular strengths and we’ve had a good record in netball,” says Hall. A new aquatic centre is taking shape at the Caulfield campus and will include state-of-the art features such as a 50-metre indoor pool that can be converted into two 25-metre pools. The floor can be raised or lowered to cater for inexperienced swimmers and elite swim teams. Maribyrnong College in Melbourne’s north-west

is also focused on the benefits of sport. Maribyrnong is Victoria’s only specialist sports high school and incorporates Maribyrnong Sports Academy. The school has 575 student athletes within its 1300-strong population who juggle VCE and sport. Current and former students have been selected for state and national teams and have competed in prestigious events like the Olympics and various world championships. “Sports students follow the normal school curriculum from 9am to 3.15pm but also complete an athlete development program that includes strength and conditioning, media training and sessions with our sports psychologist and dietitian,” explains Mark McAllion, the school’s sport director. “Our aim is to provide an education for teenagers who want to pursue an elite sporting dream while continuing their studies. So, we’re set up to support students who want to have a real crack at their sport but also finish their secondary school education.” Sports at the school include AFL, athletics, badminton, basketball, cricket, golf, hockey, netball,

soccer, softball/baseball, taekwondo, tennis and volleyball. But the school also has students involved in elite level gymnastics, swimming, cycling and synchronised ice skating. There is a stadium with basketball and netball courts, a badminton hall, high-performance gym, water therapy area, tennis courts, soccer pitch, athletics track, cricket nets and beach volleyball training courts. Former Olympians and national athletes form part of the coaching team and proteges of the school include Luke Platt who has won junior world cycling titles and Celeste Mucci who has represented Australia in athletics. AWFL rising star Monique Conti has attended Maribyrnong College and Nia Stamatopoulos, a year 10 student, has played with Melbourne City in the W-League and has been in the Junior Matildas soccer team. “The people who are teaching, coaching and mentoring have been serious athletes themselves, so they are used to being in a high-performance environment,” says McAllion. “They all work towards getting each individual athlete at the school to their highest level.” ● SARAH MARINOS

Building connections

ooking classes, coding workshops, tennis lessons, soccer clinics, music lessons, drama classes; the choice of extra-curricular activities for preschoolers through to high school students grows each year. Supporting those activities are the many teachers, tutors, coaches and parents who understand the values and skills that those classes and workshops bring. “Parents in particular are very aware that when they do these activities, children not only learn something new but they are socialising and developing emotions that will be important in the workplace – because workplaces are becoming more diverse, more multicultural and increasingly include people of different ages as people stay at work longer,” says Associate Professor Hernan Cuervo from the Youth Research Centre at the University of Melbourne. “When children are at school all day, every day

with the same group of kids they get used to dealing with those same kids and teachers. When they do something outside the classroom they are often with different children in a different environment and that adds to their learning of how to mange new contexts. That is on top of the new knowledge they also build in music, sport, art or science, depending on which activities they choose.” Practising piano scales, putting in extra practice to perfect a backhand stroke, or playing a team sport and losing a few matches also instil discipline, resilience and the importance of putting in effort to get results, says Associate Professor Julie Green, executive director at raisingchildren.net.au. “Extra-curricular activities give children the opportunity to explore what they’re good at and developing a new skill gives children a sense of achievement and boosts self-esteem,” she says. “Balancing activities with school and home life

also teaches children how to plan, manage their time and focus on set priorities.” The choice of extra-curricular activities has exploded in recent years. Associate Professor Cuervo says this reflects children’s changing interests and what kinds of skills parents think their children need to develop. “I don’t think coding even existed as a word 20 years ago and when most people thought of robotics they probably thought of NASA. Now kids can do workshops in these areas. The popularity of cooking shows on TV has also seen a rise in cooking classes for children,” he says. But British research shows that a balance between study, before and after school activities and rest is important. The researchers found that families can sometimes feel pressured to keep up with other parents and students, leading to an over-packed extra-curricular schedule. “We know parents are particularly keen to ensure their children get on in life,” said lead researcher Dr Sharon Wheeler of Edge Hill University. “Parents initiate and facilitate their children’s participation in organised activities as it shows that

they are ‘good’ parents. They hope that such activities will benefit their children in both the short-term – by keeping them fit and healthy and helping them to develop friendship groups, and longer-term – by improving their job prospects. “However, our research highlights that the reality can be somewhat different. While children might experience some of these benefits, a busy organised activity schedule can put considerable strain on parents’ resources and families’ relationships, as well as potentially harm children’s development and wellbeing. “Raising awareness of this issue can help those parents who feel under pressure to invest in their children’s organised activities, and are concerned with the impact of such activities on their family, to have the confidence to plan a less hectic schedule for their children.” Associate Professor Cuervo says children themselves are the best indicators of whether they may be doing too much. “Rest is important and children need time to play on their own terms and to explore at their pace.” ●

COLLECTION \ A NEW ARTISTIC RANGE OF HOMES FROM GLENVILL

xciting original design and affordability aren’t often spoken about together. However after focusing heavily on the wildly successful YarraBend project, Glenvill Group chief executive and design director Len Warson says he wanted to take a fresh approach to new home design for Melbourne’s inner suburbs and deliver Glenvill quality in “incredibly exciting homes inexpensively”. “People have to spend a lot more on land now and we want to deliver designer houses at affordable prices with everything included and no hidden surprises,” he says. The result is Collection, Glenvill Homes’ new range of predesigned houses created to offer exciting design at accessible prices for inner suburban knockdown-rebuild buyers. While Glenvill is best known for designing and building bespoke homes starting from $1 million, Collection homes start from $550,000 for a four-bedroom, double-storey house with high-level standard inclusions. Another advantage is a faster build; plans are predesigned to meet Melbourne planning requirements so homes can be completed within 12 months. Glenvill engaged leading architectural practice DKO Architecture to design a series of interior schemes for Collection, using leading products which Glenvill is currently using in the renovation of a $15 million Melbourne home. Warson says Glenvill has been able to leverage the purchasing power of the YarraBend project to offer high quality finishes and fittings at affordable prices. “When you build a Collection home it will look like you have used your own architect,” says Warson. “You are getting Glenvill’s design DNA and quality at a really affordable price.” ● LIZ McLACHLAN
