Dr Susan Carland gives First Lady vibes; whip-smart and elegant. Her intellect is as sharp as her manner is gentle; perfect for the role of host on a quiz show for little people with high intelligence. As the quizmaster on SBS’s Child Genius Australia, Carland is face-to-face with Australia’s cleverest eight to 12-yearolds, in a program overseen by Australian Mensa. She wears two hats – social commentator and mum – in this week’s feature by journalist Aaron Langmaid, observing the challenges of parenting in a digital world, and how intellect counts for one thing but kindness another.

FIRST PERSON

“ I am Marella Ryan ” … a V/Line conductor I’ve been a train conductor for seven years. Before that I was a flight attendant.

I think I had had enough of flying. It’s nice to fly when you’re going on holidays, but it was enough flying for one job. I wanted something on the ground but I needed something similar.

The two jobs are alike in a lot of ways. It is customer service, and really it’s all about safety as well. Of course, there are no trolleys, which is good.

But it’s pretty similar in that you’ll walk up and down. You’ve always got to check things on board – check for ladders (in case you need to detrain), firstaid kits, fire extinguishers, whether the toilets have toilet paper.

I’m on the Geelong line; we go between Warrnambool and Traralgon. We do Warrnambool

trains on the weekend and then during the week, Monday to Friday, we do one down to Traralgon. We cover a lot of kilometres in a day because Traralgon is about two hours and 20 minutes from Melbourne.

The earliest train I’m on is the 4.31am from Waurn Ponds to Southern Cross. That’s when it leaves but we have to sign on here at Geelong first.

The latest one departs Southern Cross a little after 1am, and comes back to Geelong. So, it’s almost 24-hour shift work.

In the mornings, passengers like to sleep or they’re on their laptops because they’re on their way to work. Quite often at night, you will wake people up. I often say to people, “Don’t forget to set your alarm, just in case”. Not many miss their stop, but there’s a few who do.

As told to

L A R I S SA H A M ●

Ph o t o

I enjoy working on the trains. You see all these country people, they’re very friendly; a lot of them want to chat. We have lot of regulars.

I also enjoy it because you do have to help people.

I help them with information. Sometimes older people especially struggle to read a timetable, or work out how to get from Southern Cross to Richmond or elsewhere.

Footy trains can be fun, especially if it’s the Cats.

Everyone’s in a good frame of mind, especially going there. Sometimes there’s singing on the way back, it depends on who wins, otherwise it’s very sombre, analysing the game.

Some younger ones probably see this as being a stepping stone to becoming a train driver, not me.

I’m happy doing what I’m doing. ●

COVER STORY Mother of two, academic and TV host

Dr Susan Carland ponders the future for our children.

A

cademic-turned-television host Dr Susan Carland was about halfway through filming the first season of the hit SBS show Child Genius Australia when she found herself confronted by a parent with a very difficult outlook for their extremely smart son.

The mother had shuffled her child before the cameras and stifling studio lights because she desperately wanted him to fail.

Here was a primary school kid who had mastered almost everything. He was top of his class, an apt sportsman with off-the-chart intelligence to match.

But he was yet to learn the power of consequence – of how making the wrong decisions ultimately steer us all in life.

That, says Carland, was as much a lesson for her as it should be for all of us.

The author and social commentator says Australia is nestled in a precarious era where parents hover, buffer and protect.

She fears, as do many, it will be to our detriment.

“It was quite a jarring thing to hear a mother say they want their kid to fail,” Carland says. “But the more I have reflected on it the more I think, ‘What a great mum’.

“Because failure is such an important thing for all of us, but particularly for kids.”

Like our immune system, which must be exposed to things so it can develop and look after us properly, Carland says teaching and discovering resilience should be embraced.

“Yet, so many studies are showing we are raising the least resilient group of kids ever,” she says.

“Kids aren’t being given a way to fail in a supportive way – in a way that’s not traumatic, but to experience the pain of failure so they can learn from it and work out how to bounce back and not cry and crawl away.

“It is a very important skill to learn.”

But as a mother of two herself, Carland says she understands why it can be a difficult concept for parents.

“It’s hard because we want to shield our kids from unpleasant situations,” she says. “At university, I am teaching kids straight out of high school and I can see if kids haven’t experienced the consequences of failure – if they are only doing it for the first time as 18-year-olds, these are really hard lessons to learn.

“With my own kids, I try to let them, in an ageappropriate way, make their own decisions so they can deal with the consequences of that.”

definitely,” she says. “When I was a kid, the heroes of the school were always the ones who were good at sport. Nobody is as impressed by the spelling bees or the maths whiz.

“That hasn’t changed a lot, it’s very much part of Australian culture. I think we can feel a little bit uncomfortable around really smart people. So I hope this show helps normalise it.

“I reckon one of the reasons the kids on this show want to participate is because it gives them a platform where they can be celebrated as exceptionally smart and hard-working.”

But Carland doesn’t shy away from the debate around an issue that, in some ways, could prove the greatest hurdle for any kid hoping to make a difference.

She says devices – or perhaps our addiction to them – is terrible.

“I feel sorry for this generation,” she says.

“They are a guinea pig generation where no prior

“You can be really smart but if you can be kind as well, which a lot of these kids are, then you will go really far. All things being equal, I think we are in safe hands.”

But she says the battle to override that innate parental sense to protect remains the challenge.

“That is why the conversation with that mum will always stick with me because I thought it was some pretty exceptional parenting.”

In returning to host series two of Child Genius Australia, Carland says she had learnt much.

The series pits 16 gifted children aged eight to 12 against each other in a showcase of wit and memory.

Overseen by Australian Mensa, quiz master Carland tests the participants’ knowledge of history, maths, spelling and science.

She says her own intelligence was no match in a competition where junior players made short work of spelling words like rhabdomancy.

While confessing to once being a garden-variety school nerd, she hopes the show might serve as a platform to empower intelligent kids.

“I was teased for being a nerd at school,

experiments have been done to find out what the consequences of us all being on our devices all the time.

“I was on a train last week and every single person on the carriage was staring at their phone.

“We know it’s not good for our mental health and all these other things. But what about for kids and teenagers?

“Their brains are responding in a way where we don’t know what it is doing because no previous generation has gone through it.

“The only way we will work it out is in 30 years when we see what impact it has had and by then, it is done. There will be no undoing that.”

She says there was very little evidence suggesting screen time was a good thing.

“We are moving very fast in a bad direction and I think we will all look back at this time and realise it was bad for humanity. Our kids are the ones who will deal with the ramifications of that.”

However, Carland remains hopeful.

She says the television program showcasing some of the nation’s naturally gifted young minds is a testament to a generation with enormous potential.

“Every kid has to navigate the challenges of the future and you never know what is going to pop up,” she says. “One thing that makes me feel really confident about these kids is that they are incredibly intelligent and driven but also, they are just really nice.

“There are no ratbags.

“They are polite and funny and cheeky just like kids should be. They should be fidgeting and saying weird jokes and talking to me about their guinea pigs. That’s what kids should do.

“You can be really smart but if you can be kind as well, which a lot of these kids are, then you will go really far.

“All things being equal, I think we are in safe hands.” ●

PROFILE

Morning, Melbourne “I am loving the idea of strongly reconnecting to the Melbourne

AMELIA STANWIX

community again.”

Broadcaster Virginia Trioli is getting in tune with her home town.

Wo r d s

V

irginia Trioli remembers meeting former ABC Morning’s broadcaster Jon Faine on her first day in the job as ABC’s Drive host in 2000. The now retired radio veteran imparted some sage advice.

“He said doing a radio show is like a marathon not a sprint,” she says. “You just have to keep turning up day after day and you won’t get it in six months or a year – it’s about sticking with the community and the show.

“He said ‘be genuinely yourself’ – don’t be a radio construction or projection, the listeners will find you out like that.”

JA N E R O C CA

The two-time Walkley Award-winning journalist has returned to the radio hot seat, replacing Faine as the ABC’s new morning presenter.

For the first time in a decade Trioli can finally hit the snooze button, no longer required to get up at 2.30am for her ABC TV’s News Breakfast role, cherishing the extra sleep in.

“If I get to bed late the night before, I can push the alarm to 5.30am,” Trioli says from her home in inner Melbourne where she lives with husband Russell Skelton and their seven-year-old son Addison. “It’s not really considered shift work when you start at 6am, that’s the life of ordinary people,”

she says of her new daily grind. As one of the country’s most respected journalists, Trioli knows she’s got big shoes to fill after Faine called it quits following 24 years at the ABC and as Morning’s big draw card.

“I am loving the idea of strongly reconnecting to the Melbourne community again,” says Trioli, who left Melbourne in 2005 for a Sydney radio gig after hosting Drive for eight years.

“So much has happened in Melbourne since I left.

“This city has grown and changed. It’s got many advantages now, but challenges and some problems too. I am looking forward to constructing conversations with everyone in Melbourne that genuinely reflect our city and want as broad a conversation as possible.”

Trioli was born in Bendigo and moved to Nunawading with her Italian-born parents when she was aged two. She is one of seven children and remains close to her family – with special mentions for her sister Angela and brother Peter.

She got her break as a reporter at The Age in 1990, and it’s also where she met her husband who was working as the features editor at the time.

“I fell in love with Russell’s mind,” recalls Trioli, who had returned to The Age after a year’s leave to pursue a scholarship she won to do her masters in journalism at New York University in 1993.

“When I returned to The Age, my feature editor had changed – it was Russell.

“I knocked on his office door and told him I was one of his reporters. We spoke for 45 minutes straight from politics to art to the wool price, design and industry policy. We covered a lot of topics.

I remember I left and I thought ‘I love that guy’; I was pretty much gone.”

Trioli wrote her ground-breaking book Generation F: Sex, Power and The Young Feminist in 1992 (it was a response to Helen Garner’s The First Stone) and plans to write a fiction and non-fiction book in the near future.

“I’m of the opinion if you say it you don’t write it,” she says, not wanting to jinx her future intentions.

She loves cooking, travelling, cinema, listening to podcasts about Ancient Rome and tunes into the BBC when she can. “I’d like to learn to sing and stand on a stage,” she says of unfulfilled dreams.

“That’s long been a personal goal of mine.

“I’d also love to be a contestant on Survivor, but living on rice and beans wouldn’t suit me. And there’s a TV and movie script in me too.”

For now, the focus is warming listeners to her vivacious and firm interviewing style that she’s perfected in almost three decades in the media. ●

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

Opportunity beckons How to find which scholarships are on offer and apply for them.

W

hile some make take some digging to find, there are a variety of scholarship opportunities on offer at Melbourne’s independent schools each year. And it’s not just the academically gifted who can benefit.

“I don’t think scholarships are front of mind for many parents in Australia,” says Ross White of the Good Education Group.

White says that while scholarships in the US are widely advertised, here parents and students need to do their research to find out what’s on offer.

“I also think it’s all too easy for a lot of families to count themselves out from scholarships because they may think they are only for brainy kids, and that’s not the case at all.

“Doing some research and having a conversation

with schools about scholarships is very worthwhile.

There are terrific scholarships out there that are worth tapping into.”

Scholarships are offered by most fee-paying schools and may cover all or some of the tuition fees.

Some are offered based on academic excellence while others are awarded to students who are talented in specific areas, such as music or sport.

Students who have a proven record of showing leadership, of being community-focused and who are committed to helping people around them may also be eligible to apply for some scholarships.

“Not all scholarships are about academic excellence and being top of the class – there are those but there are plenty more,” says White, who publishes the Good Schools Guide.

Scholarships open for 2021 entry Our scholarship program recognises outstanding individuals who excel, not only in academic results, but also in the arts, music, sport, leadership or community service.

We have a wide variety of scholarships available at our three metropolitan campuses, at Elsternwick, Glen Waverley and St Kilda Road.

“There are excellent sporting scholarships for kids with talent in a mainstream or niche sport and there are scholarships that recognise social citizenship for children who are involved in a charity, community and leadership. Schools want to recognise those kinds of qualities in students because it helps develop their own school culture.”

White says there is no centralised resource that lists all available scholarships in Melbourne schools, so students and parents need to go online and check school websites to find out what is on offer. Or call schools directly and inquire about scholarship opportunities and the application process.

“Shortlist schools that you think are going to be of interest based on things like their academic performance, their personal fit for your child and the school curriculum and its sporting or arts activities. Then, call them to find out if they have any scholarships,” suggests White.

While the application process can vary, an exam or audition is usually required along with an interview involving parents and the student.

“Musical scholarships will be based on a student’s

musical grades and ability and usually a child will have to demonstrate their ability in an audition.

Similarly, with sport, a student may have had to compete at state level,” says White.

“Schools are looking for students who will embrace the culture and values of the school and be a role model to other students. The school does benefit from scholarships because they get a motivated and engaged student who may have a special talent.

“And students gain because receiving a scholarship can make a huge difference to a child’s opportunities. It can expose children to experiences that may previously been out of reach and they can be life-changing.

“If you are a scholarship student, that has so many benefits after school because being the kind of person who has been seen as deserving of a school scholarship speaks volumes about who you are.

Carrying that forward – it looks very good on your CV. It’s a great feather in your cap.” ● ● goodschools.com.au

chool scholarships are highly sought after and so the selection process is carefully designed to identify the most deserving students.

“Students may be talented – but we are looking for more than that,” says Dr Mark Merry, principal of Yarra Valley Grammar.

“We look at potential scholarship students with a global view – what can they bring to our school and what can our school bring them?”

An interview is often a crucial part of the process and involves both parents and students.

“Parents come to the interview because the decision to attend a certain school is a family decision,” says Dr Merry. “The interview is an opportunity to learn more about a student and to

find out their reasons for choosing the school. We often ask what the family knows about Yarra Valley Grammar and our programs, and we want to know where the student’s passion lies.

“The interview is also a time for a student and parents to ask questions. You can find out what your son or daughter needs to do when they are a scholarship student and that’s not about getting high distinctions. Contribution, not achievement, is very important.”

Yarra Valley Grammar in Ringwood is one of many independent schools in Melbourne that offers a range of scholarships. Dr Merry says most schools follow a similar application process but he says there is more to it than simply a positive interview.

“What gets students in the interview room initially is their folio. I love to see what young people have been up to – to find out about the music competitions and concerts they have been part of or to hear about the best and fairest awards they’ve received. All that shows enthusiasm and that is what schools look for,” he says.

Dr Deb Priest, principal at Ivanhoe Girls’

The interview is an opportunity to learn more about a student and to find out their reasons for choosing the school.

Grammar agrees that aside from academic excellence, schools are keen to find students who will embrace everything that a school community has to offer. General excellence scholarships, such as the Cooerwull General Excellence Scholarships at Ivanhoe Girls’ involve an academic test but emphasis is also placed on leadership, teamwork and citizenship.

“I am looking for girls who have demonstrated persistence in learning an instrument, they might have been doing community service or spent a number of years with Red Cross, or they might be working hard at club sport level,” says Dr Priest.

Applications for general excellence scholarships often require written answers to questions in order to highlight a student’s character and interests.

“We might ask them what they like to do in their

DR MARK MERRY

recreation time or what they most want to achieve from coming to our school,” says Dr Priest.

Students who get through that stage are then interviewed. Dr Priest focuses firmly on the student during the interview and advises parents and students against rehearsing.

“Some children have clearly been practicing their responses with their parents for months. They can come across like automatons and don’t show their personality. I would say to students ‘just be yourself’ because I want to know who you are now, today. I want to know you,” she says. “We look for students who can look at me eye-to-eye when they talk and who are eager and interested. I want to see their eyes light up when they talk about things they are passionate about.” ● SARAH MARINOS

FITZROY \ 15 LITTLE GEORGE STREET 3

There’s something to be said for Melbourne’s humble inner-city lanes. With their uneven cobblestone surface and discreet dispositions hiding hip bars, world-class restaurants and all kinds of other wonderful things, what our lanes might lack in razzle-dazzle they more than make up for in other ways. The ways that matter.

In this sense, East Melbourne is the inner-city laneway of suburbs: easily overlooked, but full of good stuff beckoning those who know where to find it. Including 15 Little George Street, which can be found down a lane.

With a striking facade and three floors of living space, this modern warehouse-style residence is architect-designed to offer its residents lots of light, air and space to hang out. Best of all, the discreet location belies the fact that all the fun bits of both Gertrude Street and the CBD are just minutes away.

Alongside the two-car garage, the ground floor hosts a kitchen with sizeable island (complete with discreet, builtin shelving), the living-dining room and a laundry. There’s copious light streaming in from the glass-filled front wall and past the stairwell, which has been designed to let as much light filter through as possible. There’s a delightful rear courtyard here too, with a huge sliding door bringing the outside in and vice versa. The kitchen is equipped with Miele appliances, there’s hydronic floor heating, Sonos audio and concrete floors that sit nicely alongside American oak.

Upstairs you’ll find two bedrooms, one of which comes with a built-in wardrobe and both of which have separate access to an en suite. A separate powder room is accessible
