The AFLW players possess the kind of courage I hope will develop in all the young women I know, particularly my little niece. She, unlike me, has a chance for football – the sport I loved growing up and still love today – to be much more in her life, if she chooses. The women’s league season started this month and the curtain-raising Geelong and Collingwood clash drew more than 18,000 fans. North Melbourne and Geelong are new teams this season, and in this edition we meet the Kangaroos’ Kaitlyn Ashmore, whose passion for the blue and white stripes runs deep. ●

FIRST PERSON
““I am James Tutton ” … and I’m an entrepreneur who helps people meditate I always knew that I was unemployable. I didn’t take direction from other people at all well, so I think I’ve always been aware that I’d work for myself. When I was at university I worked as a doorman and sold clothing at markets, and in my final year I started Moonlight Cinema, which I sold to a public company in my early 30s. Then, I had an entertainment business in LA before coming back to Australia and going into business with Jeff Provan at Neometro about 10 years ago. About five and a half years ago I established Smiling Mind with Jane Martino, which is a notfor-profit focused on preventative mental health tools for young people, specifically based in mindfulness meditation. We have 3.5 million downloads of our app, we’re working with hundreds of thousands of students, and have a workplace program that’s used in corporate organisations across Australia. I say this jokingly, but I went bald at 22 and was driving a Porsche in my mid-20s, so I’d done the traditional mid-life crisis things really early on. I was 39 when we started Smiling Mind and I thought, “Right, I’m going to have a positive mid-life crisis”, which, for me, involved putting my energy into something that could have a significant and beneficial social impact. I’ve also had a long-term interest in mental health. I’ve seen people close to me experience schizophrenia and post-natal depression. I wouldn’t for a second say that mindfulness and meditation are a silver bullet, but it’s clinically shown that they can lower the risk of the onset of a whole gamut of mental heath conditions. Making money is not my goal in life. I’m far more interested in using what skills I have as an entrepreneur to have a positive social impact. That’s not to say I don’t have to pay my school fees, because I do, but I didn’t want my children to go, “...that’s all he did with his life”. I felt a responsibility to show them that if you have some entrepreneurial skills and chutzpah, you can do really positive social things. ●

ENTERTAINMENT
W
ith the reopening of iconic St Kilda music venue The Esplanade Hotel comes an ode to its former glory, a future vision and proof that rock ’n’ roll is here to stay. The 140-year-old Victorian heritage-listed building now comes with a green room corridor that weaves from backstage to the main stage with full view for those dining in the Espy kitchen, too. There’s no FOMO to be had either, because you now score a side eye of backstage from the comforts of this distillery and barrel room-dressed dining area. It’s a nice touch for those keen to witness the acts in full flight, and as close as you’ll get to your rock star moment, unless you’re with the band. According to Techne architect Justin Northrop, the renovation had to factor in the venue’s past, while also reviving an icon that could be so much
The Gershwin Room returns to its finest days, with the help of a new black steel beam to hold the structure in place. It’s where Beasts of Bourbon, Things of Stone and Wood, Yothu Yindi and Men at Work all played and where Tex Perkins, Tim Rogers and ABC radio show announcer and co-host of recently cancelled RocKwiz Brian Nankervis have all taken to the stage since it reopened late last year. “It is one of the only heritage listings where the usage is integral to the building,” Northrop explains. “It has to be a live music venue – that is part of its DNA, but it reaches back further than live music. Retelling those stories is a big part of this renovation for us,” he says. Nankervis started doing comedy in the public bar in the mid-90s with his character Raymond J. Bartholomeuz. The room’s renovation comes with original gig posters that decorate the walls in an ode
THE LEGEND LIVES ON more. The venue now comes with 12 bars, two restaurants and three music stages that sprawl across six levels and cater up to 1700 guests. The former piano room bar is now a modern podcast studio open to anyone keen for a digital hook-up. The second level and those above it have opened to the public for the first time. This is where the Ghost of Alfred Felton bar – Felton was a former resident, entrepreneur, chemist and philanthropist who lived at the Espy from 1892 until his death in 1904 – is located. There’s an ode to his obsessions with the three rooms covering a library with old books, another filled with art on the walls and an apothecary-inspired bar, hinting at Felton’s drug-dispensing days. New Cantonese restaurant and cocktail bar Mya Tiger is a nod to the rise of Chinese restaurants that appeared in St Kilda during the 1850s gold rush era. With that in mind, there’s a colonial style in place with a nod to chinoiserie. “The colonial styling and Victorian cues really come through in this dining space,” Northrop says. “We’ve sourced antique tables and artefacts to hint to that old world while also referencing Singapore’s famously grand dining and hotel venue Raffles.”

to its former self, featuring everyone from Mark Seymour to Cosmic Psychos. Nankervis says the Espy’s cultural significance is huge. He recalls a wow moment seeing Ross Hannaford’s Diana Kiss band perform in the public bar in the early ’90s. “I only saw them once but I’ll never forget it,” he says. “Peter Luscombe [the drummer in the RocKwiz band] tells this great story of when he was supporting Bob Dylan at the Palais, and convinced his band to come across the road to see Diana Kiss. As they walked in, Hannaford and the band was totally on fire. Bucky Baxter [Dylan’s guitarist] turned to him [Peter] and said, ‘Lucky Bob didn’t come or we’d be fired on the spot’.” RocKwiz filmed 174 episodes at the Gershwin Room over 12 years, with the first taking place in November 2004. “People would come from all over Australia because the tapings became the stuff of legend,” says Nankervis. “We would record two shows at night, they were free but it was hard to get tickets.” ABC radio show host Myfanwy Warhurst remembers walking into the Espy when she moved to Melbourne in the early ’90s. “I saw so many

bands there and recall everyone at the pool tables looking like they were having a wild time,” she says. “I spent many Sunday afternoons seeing Dave Taranto’s comedy night in the Gershwin Room. A lot of those comedy icons started there, like Judith Lucy, too. It’s where I got my grounding in Melbourne comedy and learnt how to party well.” From turn-of-the-century hotel to a ballroom venue and jazz hangout, the Espy has morphed into many characters over the years – including ’70s disco, too.
MYFANWY WARHURST
But it was its punk and rock days that nailed its reputation. Radio announcer Jane Gazzo says: “Both of my bands played in the piano bar and Gershwin Room. “There’s no outdoor loading zone behind the venue any more, but they’ve done well to remind us of the Espy of the past. In the front bar, there’s a work of Fred Negro – who is synonymous with the venue – and [they’ve] framed a lot of the old rock posters, too. You feel you’re walking into your own history. There is a definite excitement about it. It’s a
successful renovation and realisation. I am stoked.” The Sand Hill Group’s decision to buy the venue – for a reported $15 million and spending $15 million on the 18-month renovations – has thrilled rock enthusiasts who now get live music with a fancy culinary upgrade. “We all knew the Espy needed a bit of a wash, like all of us old rock ’n’ rollers,” Warhurst says. “Taking care of yourself on the inside is where it’s at now. It’s great it’s back and feels very Melbourne, and will give people a place to go again.” ●

COVER STORY
Jumping at the chance to rule the field W
As javelin star-turnedfootballer Kaitlyn Ashmore spears a new AFLW team, the next generation is on her mind.
hen Kaitlyn Ashmore was selected by the Brisbane Lions as a priority draft pick ahead of the inaugural 2017 AFLW season, she was both excited and a little unnerved. “I didn’t know who was going to be in Brisbane as far as the team went, and I didn’t know anyone in Brisbane,” she recalls. “Actually, I’d never even been to Brisbane. The furthest I’d been away from Ballarat was Melbourne, and I’d only moved there three months before.”
The Ashmores are a close family; when Kaitlyn broke the news, her mother couldn’t comprehend it. “She said, ‘But you can’t! Women don’t go interstate to play footy!’ ” Indeed they do. And sometimes they come home, too. To her North Melbourne Kangaroo-supporting brother Leigh’s delight, Ashmore has suited up for the burgeoning national competition’s 2019 season in blue and white stripes, a key member of one of two new teams (alongside

Yet connecting with her grandfather through football changed her sporting course. “Pa was an old-school guy, just loved footy,” she says. “I’d do athletics but he’d never come and watch, or if he did, he’d just sit in the stands and not say anything. I’d be happy because I threw a PB; he’d be like, ‘Yeah, that was good.’ He was just a football head.” When she took up school footy her grandfather was in the crowd; after she joined North Ballarat, aged 18, he was there every weekend.

University’s women’s team, made the state side the following year and has been a serious player ever since. While Brisbane was initially daunting, Ashmore now regards her two seasons there as an awakening. She missed home terribly, not least her dalmatian Billie, she says, but felt herself grow. “I was a very a shy girl. Now I’m in the North Melbourne leadership group, and I don’t think that would have happened if I hadn’t got out of my comfort zone.” She loves football’s small-world, familial feel; Kangaroos captain Emma Kearney, along with
teammates Ash Riddell and Kate Gillespie-Jones, are old Melbourne Uni comrades, while Jenna Bruton is another Ballarat girl. And there are other teammates she’s been longing to play alongside. “Jasmine Garner’s going to be a star.” At the Lions, Ashmore played in two grand finals for two heartbreakingly narrow losses. At North, surrounded by recruits from other AFLW clubs who are likewise eager for success, she’s revelled in how Roos’ stars including Jack Ziebell, Ben Brown and Jamie MacMillan have embraced them. “Considering they haven’t had

Learning through play Kindergartens are finding a play-based curriculum emphasises creativity and independence.
“They’re really engaged. They’re doing some amazingly creative stuff.” ANNA TIBB
W
alk around Preshil Kindergarten in Kew, and you’ll see students digging in the garden, feeding the rabbits, building cubbies and climbing trees. They look like they are mucking around. But Anna Tibb, Preshil’s director of kindergarten, says they are part of a very intentional play-based curriculum, one that emphasises agency, creativity and independence. “It’s very hands on, and we place a big emphasis on time outside,” Tibb says. “Some are gardening or designing part of the playground or learning about life cycles. “We’re about being play-based,” she adds. “They’re not just playing all day. Our program curriculum incorporates literacy, numeracy, arts and science with a strong emphasis on developing higher-order thinking skills through play.” Preshil’s founder Greta Lyttle was a proponent of the philosophy that “play is child’s work”, a common
refrain among many early childhood educators and theorists. They believe that play is essential to a child’s development, and far more conducive to learning than simple instruction, such as a teacher delivering information to a classroom. Play-based learning differs from free play, where children direct themselves without adult participation, says Dr Anne-Marie Morrissey, a senior lecturer in early childhood education at Deakin University. “Play-based is where teachers are able to use children’s intrinsic motivation to play to guide children towards their learning goals,” she says. Dr Morrissey says different forms of play that coincide with different skills. For example, physical play contributes to health and physical development. Continued p15

Constructive or creative play, such as block-building, helps children develop creativity and fine motor skills. Dramatic play, or pretend play – pretending to be a firefighter or using a stick as a sword – can help children learn to hypothesise and communicate. “It’s also important, very important, for their intellectual development because they’re learning to think symbolically and to represent objects in an abstract way,” Dr Morrissey says. “It helps them, for example, when they start to read, to know that the words on a page are abstract symbols.”
E
ducators at Preshil regularly use storytelling and drama to teach sophisticated concepts. For part of the year they frame daily activities around Charlotte’s Web, depending on what interests the children. They can reenact parts of the novel, create stories and rhymes about spiders or
make their own spiders at the craft table. “Kids have got the time, if they want, to spend weeks on a project that they’re passionate about,” Tibb says. “They’re really engaged. They’re doing some amazingly creative stuff.” The Early Years Learning Framework, which guides the curriculum for early education programs, also stresses the importance of play as a context for learning – and a way to help young children enjoy learning. The framework says play “provides a supportive environment where children can ask questions, solve problems and engage in critical thinking”. Dr Morrissey says that while most educators see play-based learning as crucial to early learning, there is “growing awareness” about the importance of play in primary school and beyond. “Play theorists would argue that actually play is important throughout life, it just takes different forms, and that intellectual playfulness is a basis for creativity.” ● KATE STANTON

EDUCATION & INNOVATION Year 6 students are taking on leadership roles to build confidence and improve their lifeskills.
GREG FORD
T
here’s nothing like being the big kids in school. Victorian students in year 6 have almost made it through seven years of primary school, and can now look forward to the high school adventure that awaits them. “They’re really excited, particularly towards the end of the year,” says Edwina Aikman, head of junior school at Mentone Girls’ Grammar in bayside Victoria. “They’re the big fish in a small pond.” The latter years of primary school are a great time for students to practise skills such as leadership, confidence and self-motivation, especially because they are still in the relatively comfortable environment of primary school, Aikman says. That’s why Mentone’s year 6 students participate in an extensive leadership program. “Having leadership in primary school gives them responsibility, and it gives them opportunity to build their organisational skills, to learn to be patient, to have perseverance,” she says. “These are things that everyone needs to deal with, whether it’s secondary school or outside the school gates.” Every student is assigned a leadership role, which they apply for based on their interests. There are sports captains, IT leaders, wellbeing leaders and spiritual captains, for example, and they are in charge of organising events, such as assemblies, fundraisers or coding clubs. Year 6 students have a leadership meeting every week to discuss their progress and what they have learnt. “All our positions are very hands on,” Aikman says. “They’re not token positions, and that’s because we want the girls to know what it really is like to organise things.” Students in late primary school also start thinking about how their social and academic lives will change as they prepare for the next phase of their academic career. Libby Renton, a year 6 teacher and upper primary coordinator at Presbyterian Ladies’ College in Burwood, says students are particularly concerned with friendships, which will inevitably begin to shift as they enter adolescence. “I love teaching year 6 because they are figuring out where they belong and how they fit in,” Renton says. “They’re at an age when friendships change and fluctuate. We talk about that a lot. They can
Taking the next step move apart from their friends, but we need to say that it’s normal.” Academic development is also key to preparing students for high school, where they will have to juggle a range of homework assignments from several teachers instead of one or two. Renton says teachers are very intentional about structuring lesson plans to help students develop critical thinking skills and self-motivation they will need in senior school. Each term, year 6 students are expected to complete a project over five or six weeks working independently at home. Teachers help them learn how to break down big tasks into smaller, more
manageable ones, and to schedule tasks in their diaries. “We always articulate what we’re doing and why we’re doing it,” Renton says. “We say why they will need these skills to succeed in senior school.” But even with a year’s worth of preparation, Renton says it’s typical for year 6 students to be just as apprehensive as they are excited about the major changes ahead. “They are always a bit mixed,” she says. “They are nervous about getting lost and how they will manage the homework. But they are really excited about the future too.” ● KATE STANTON

Rites of passage Rural experiences can help year 9 students transition into young adulthood.
I
t may not be every 15-year-old’s idea of a good time to spend months living at school or in the bush, without a phone, social media or television. But it’s not unusual for year 9 students at independent schools around Victoria to participate in extended excursions away from home. And several schools have rural campuses, where year 9 students can hike, run, chop firewood, cook and clean, as part of their formal education. Year 9 students at Methodist Ladies’ College can choose to attend Marshmead, a rural campus in East Gippsland, for eight weeks. Wesley College has a country campus in Clunes, outside of Ballarat. Prince Charles famously attended Geelong Grammar School’s rural campus, Timbertop, for two terms in 1966, when he slept in tents and took
part in cross-country hikes. So what’s significant about this age group, and what makes it a popular time for students to experience life away from home? Tom Hall, head of Timbertop, which is compulsory for year 9 students at Geelong Grammar, says it can be a “problematic” year level for students in a traditional school setting. “For many young people, year 9 can be a no man’s land between middle school and senior school. They’re too old for the younger parts of the school and they’re not quite old enough for the rest,” he says. Hall believes that rural education programs, especially ones with various physical, mental or academic challenges, give students a “rite of passage” typically missing from year 9.

Students at Timbertop attend regular academic lessons. But they also participate in a range of physical challenges, including a running program that culminates in a 33-kilometre run. They do not have access to the internet or their phones, and they have to perform a range of domestic chores, such as cutting wood to fire the boiler that heats their showers. “They live a simple existence, but they live in close connection with the natural world, and they can be responsible for themselves,” Hall says. “It’s a wonderful thing to see that transition from childhood to young adulthood and that happening both with their maturity, their intellectual and academic capacity and their physical capacity as well.” Year 9 students at Lauriston Girls’ School in Armadale spend most of their school at Howqua, a
campus three hours away from Melbourne in Victoria’s High Country. The girls participate in normal academic lessons, as well as an outdoor and fitness program that includes canoeing, rock climbing, skiing and camping. “We believe that year 9 is a good time to send our students to Howqua because girls are ready to face new challenges and are keen to make new friends,” says Lauriston principal Susan Just. The hope is that a year at Howqua will help students embrace challenge, independence and selfconfidence, skills that will help prepare them for VCE. “Our year 9 students return to year 10 with more self-confidence and independence,” Just says. “They know how to organise their time and set goals. They know the other girls in their year level and feel more of a sense of belonging, which is important for the senior years.” ●

With Mission Australia finding that one in four young people are at risk of serious mental illness, many schools are focusing on wellbeing as part of a more holistic education. “It underpins everything,” says Mara Vanderzeil, head of student wellbeing at Yarra Valley Grammar. “If a child is healthy and feeling safe, and mentally

well, then they’re going to be able to achieve their potential. For them to be able to learn, they need to be well.” Students face a variety of pressures both inside and outside the classroom. “They’re becoming adults,” Vanderzeil says. “They’ve got relationships with people, even the fact that they’re becoming learner drivers ... there are so many different aspects.” The ubiquity of social media can also exacerbate things. “There are so many images, and there is so much information coming in all the time,” she says. “One of the things we try to teach is the mindfulness side of things. To be in the actual moment and focus in on one thing.” It’s an approach that has served Noah McGrath, a year 12 student at Brighton Grammar, well. McGrath says that he puts all his focus into whatever he’s working on – whether revising for a test or training for sport – so that he doesn’t get distracted or overwhelmed. “Say I had a test on Friday and I know that Wednesday and Thursday I’ll have soccer training,”
“If a child is healthy and feeling safe, and mentally well, then they’re going to be able to achieve their potential.” MARA VANDERZEIL
he explains, “in class on that Wednesday and Thursday I’ll remove myself from my peers and focus significantly on study. I’ll get two hours of quality work in.” He says the students at the school openly chat with each other about how they’re going. “I talk to a lot of the rowing boys about how they deal with [pressures]. A lot of people do different things. I probably focus more on being in the moment and trying to get everything out of every minute, whereas other students are really good at managing their time outside of school.” The school has a wellbeing committee, and McGrath says that it’s “awesome” that they encourage students to book in to see a psychologist if they have something they want to discuss.
Brighton Grammar has also introduced a camp that year 10 students go on with their fathers, or father figures. “You can talk about anything,” Noah says, “and you won’t be judged… it was just good that I could ask [dad] questions about how he’s gone through life. He’s experienced similar things to me.” Yarra Valley Grammar, meanwhile, is partnering with The Resilience Project on materials for homeroom teachers and year co-ordinators from prep right through to year 12. It’s all part of a drive to embed wellbeing across the school. “The education that we provide is not just academic,” Vanderzeil says. “It’s so many things. And to feel connected, you really want students to feel like they’re part of a community.” ● ANDERS FURZE

The power of a good finish is undeniable. This large, double-fronted house is full of them, all helping it wear its tessellated-tile heart on its Victorian-era sleeve. That happens the moment you step into it, thanks to the large front verandah. But rest assured, the house is not totally stuck in the 19th century, and a smart renovation opens it up, transforming it into a spacious residence ideal for family living. A short step inside from that feature verandah are two bedrooms, on either side of the main hallway. The bedroom to the north features a walk-in wardrobe leading into a separate en suite, while the south bedroom’s two walk-in wardrobes are mirrored by the third bedroom on the other side. Further into the house is the central downstairs bathroom with freestanding tub, before everything opens out into the spacious living-meals area and kitchen. The open-plan kitchen’s appliances include a built-in steamer and microwave, and the large island is cleverly connected to the kitchen splashback thanks to the shared use of natural silver galaxy stone. The separate laundry provides access to the side of the house. The house’s new occupants will be able to look down on the backyard thanks to the upstairs balcony, which spans the entire upstairs floor. Half of the upstairs floor plan is devoted to a large retreat, while the other half is reserved for the master bedroom, accompanied by a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. The backyard deck is ideally suited to showing off the
