O PRINCIPAL’S

Perspective

ur students today are supported in their access to an exceptional education because of the enduring generosity of our School community; a community that believes in the influence of education as a transformational strength. In 2018, thanks to the support of this community, we showed our belief in such transformation, increasing our Biddlecombe Society membership by 20, and exceeding our Annual Giving target of $250,000 in 250 days. The campaign raised over $300,000 to support scholarships and a range of other programmes, such as the Library Fund. This was a history-making campaign for GGS. In 2019, we aspire to achieve so much more and enjoy another milestone; one that celebrates our School’s renewed commitment to our rural and regional communities.

It is a delight to announce that we are embarking on an exciting new initiative – our inaugural GGS Giving Day (which replaces our usual Annual Giving Programme for 2019). The GGS Giving Day is a contemporary fundraising strategy to bolster our culture of giving, increase participation from our community and of course, raise vital funds to benefit students from remote, rural and regional areas. On Wednesday 12 June 2019, for one day only, we will unite as a community to support our new Australian Rural and Regional Scholarship. Thanks to the benevolence of our matched donors, every donation made will be doubled.

These efforts will enable a student who could not otherwise afford a GGS education to commence with us in 2021.

Advancing our reach through scholarships such as this is only possible due to the encouragement and magnanimity of our Old Geelong Grammarians. I pay tribute to OGG and current and past parent Roderic O’Connor (P’74), along with OGG Fiona Ratcliffe (Je’77); thanks to their work with our Advancement Team, we are already half way to reaching our minimum target of $800,000; $2M will provide a full scholarship in perpetuity.

to his prodigious altruism, was augmented by the Geelong Grammar Foundation and our School Council. Thanks to these three equal partners we are well positioned to engage staff to resource our Centre for Creative Education, continue research, and develop curriculum.

Creative Education brings together the sciences of creativity and learning with the art of teaching, to build capacity across the interlinked and enterprising skills of collaboration, critical thinking, problem solving and problem posing. It is also about nurturing the energising attitudes for creativity, such as courage, imagination and curiosity. In January 2019, two Creative Education Collaborators commenced their work supporting our four campuses by assisting teachers to integrate the aforementioned skills and attitudes into curriculum planning and teaching practice. We have also appointed a Senior Researcher and Research Assistant.

As a Strategic Pillar of our School, Creative Education enables students to navigate increasing change and complexity with greater confidence. Coupled with Positive Education’s nurturing of staff and students’ wellbeing and life skills, Creative Education cultivates our community’s collaborative, cognitive and academic capacities. It is ultimately an investment in teachers’ professional learning and development. It is about supporting educators to equip our learners in their quest to shape an exceptional future.

Such a quest is born of the same vision and zeal that established Timbertop and coeducation at GGS. We’re indeed blessed to belong to a living and learning community that was founded upon an aspirational and progressive mindset. I thank all donors and the Foundation Board for their commitment to not only continue but to strengthen our transformational quest!

Yours in enabling opportunities, Rebecca Cody Principal

OGGs’ philanthropic leadership is a stand out quality of our School that was again modelled exemplarily by Ian Darling AO (P’79) in 2018. At Speech Day we announced a further investment in Creative Education across the next three years. This investment, made possible due

O From the CHAIR

ur Foundation enjoyed an exceptional year in 2018 and I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our community of generous donors. In 2018, we welcomed new Foundation Board members Andrew Cochrane (Past Parent) and Charles Henry (FB’67). We mourned the loss of Neil Robertson (FB’72), Board member and Chair of the Biddlecombe Society, and Michael Collins Persse, President of the Biddlecombe Society. We launched the Tommy Garnett Scholarship, with the inaugural recipient commencing in Year 9 in 2019. We celebrated the biennial Geelong Grammar School and Geelong Grammar Foundation Black Tie Dinner, awarding the Medal for Service to Society to Professor Glen LiddellMola (P’64) for his work in obstetrics and gynaecology in Papua New Guinea.

On Speech Day, we held the inaugural Scholarship Recipient and Benefactor morning tea, with Year 12 scholarship recipients and their families celebrating their academic journey with the donors of their scholarships. It was a moving and gratifying occasion for all involved, and I hope it will continue and expand in years to come.

The priorities of the Foundation continue to be attracting funds for scholarships, bequests, buildings and other special projects approved by the Council. In 2018, the Foundation provided 53 scholarships, including awarding the Gordon Moffatt Scholarship for the first time and establishing the Handbury Family Scholarship. I believe passionately in the importance of scholarships. They are essential for the continuing diversity of our school. They provide life-changing opportunities for children whose families could not otherwise afford a Geelong Grammar School education and we can be proud of the contribution that the Foundation, through the generosity of its members, makes to the Scholarship Programme.

Membership of the Biddlecombe Society increased to 171 members. The current total of notified bequests is around $18M, with 191 bequestors in total (not all bequestors are members of the Biddlecombe Society). I believe that bequests will be an increasingly important part of the financial support that we provide to our School and urge all members of our community to consider providing a bequest in their Will to the Foundation. I welcome Charlie Sutherland (P’86), new Chair of the Biddlecombe Society, the Society’s joint Presidents,

Mary Morton (Weatherly, Cl’85) and Bill Ranken (M’73), and acknowledge the strong support given by Garry Pierson, Associate Director of Advancement.

Annual Giving achieved a record result of $300,000 under the guidance of the Executive Director of the Foundation, Jo Nitz, and her team.

10 years ago the Foundation provided funding to assist the introduction of the Positive Education programme, which has not only transformed the School but has a growing national and international presence. In 2018, the Foundation, along with the School and a wonderfully generous gift from Ian Darling AO (P’79) and Min Darling, provided funding to support Creative Education, which we believe will be similarly transformational.

2018 saw a difficult year-end for stock markets, and this was reflected in the decline in value of our investments, with a 4% decline in the total assets of the Foundation, from a corpus of $51.3M at the end of 2017 to $49.5M at the end of 2018. A more useful guide to regular income is the investment income which, at $3.8M in 2018, is up 13% year-on-year.

Members will appreciate that we must, from time to time, expect some setbacks as markets rise and fall, and that recovery from such setbacks in the past has been excellent. The endowment to the School in 2018 was $2.6M. This figure includes gifts to the Building and Library Funds.

The Scholarship Fund sat at $25.6M at the end of 2018, with the Endowment Trust at $23.9M. Total fundraising income for the year was $2.3M. I wish to thank all members of the Foundation Board for their continuing dedication to the work of the Foundation, and particularly acknowledge Will Jones (Cu’73), Chair of the Allocations and Investments Committee, and Charles Henry (FB’67), Chair of the Scholarships Committee. I am very grateful to the Principal, Rebecca Cody, for her unfailing support of the Foundation.

Foundation Board membership at the end of 2018 stood at 943 members. I am continually inspired by your extraordinary generosity, which makes possible so much of the fabric of our exceptional school.

Thank you very much.

CREATIVE EDUCATION

I

t would be hard to find a person more committed to the pursuit of creativity than Ian Darling AO (P’79), philanthropist and awardwinning documentary filmmaker. Ian spoke with feeling in 2014 about the inherent legacy of creativity that exists at Geelong Grammar School, nurtured by Sir James Darling (no relation) during his long headmastership. From this fertile ground, he believes, his own seeds of creativity were nurtured, “whether I realised it at the time or not”.

In recent years, Ian has been instrumental in the development of Creative Education at Geelong Grammar School. “He invested a lot of time, money and energy into it; he was such a believer,” says Vice Principal, Charlie Scudamore. “He was targeting people he knew and who had an interest.

It was phenomenal.”

“To implement such an ambitious programme of educational change takes both curiosity and courage, traits which Ian Darling exemplifies.”

Inspired by the leadership and role modelling of Ian Darling, and bolstered by his extraordinary generosity, Geelong Grammar School has entered a new and exciting phase of Creative Education. Dr Tim Patston, appointed in 2015 as Coordinator of Creativity and Innovation, has this year been joined by four key staff: two teacher collaborators, Dan Davies and Matt Limb, and two researchers, Dr Ethel Samalca and Dr Prue Wales.

Using a model of evidence-based research that brings together the science of learning and the art of teaching, Creative Education is already having a systemic impact upon the learning and teaching culture of the School.

In multiple subjects across the curriculum, students are learning targeted and specific skills, such as collaboration, critical thinking, problem solving and problem posing. In essence, Creative Education teaches the skills and attitudes needed to be creative in any context, and to be best prepared for an ever-changing world.

“These kids are going to be our future leaders and if they are creative in their thinking, they can lead with compassion, curiosity, collaboration and courage,” says Charlie. “I can imagine the world will be a better, stronger, more collaborative, caring and kind place. That’s what it is all about in the end.”

To implement such an ambitious programme of educational change takes both curiosity and courage, traits which Ian Darling AO exemplifies. In 2018, he was the recipient of the prestigious Byron Kennedy Award from the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) for his ‘brave, innovative and wide-ranging pursuit of excellence’. Geelong Grammar School’s teachers and learners are fortunate to be benefitting immensely from Ian’s munificence, wise counsel and courageous leadership.

Scholarship

W

hen you come from a tiny girls’ school with 300 pupils and walk into the Dining Hall at Corio, with a capacity of 500 girls and boys from all over the world, you have just entered a whole new universe”, says Fiona Ratcliffe (Archer, Je’77).

Her friend and fellow Tasmanian, Roderic O’Connor (P’75), recalls he “didn’t know much about the School except that it was big and interstate.

I wasn’t daunted by the move to the School, and aside from the feeling of separation from family, I began to imbibe the all-encompassing ease of the other pupils, teachers and the ethos of the School. This point in time changed my way of thinking and, from then on, my life was irrevocably changed. I never looked back and still to this day have this Grammar feel within me.”

For Fiona and Roderic, the impact of a Geelong Grammar School education on their lives has been seminal. They are keenly aware that they were “fortunate” to have had parents who could allow them to attend the School; equally, they know that a Geelong Grammar education merely is beyond the means of many rural and regional families. This knowledge has motivated them to establish a new scholarship specifically for students from remote, rural or regional Australia. “We really wanted to allow another child to be part of this world and reap the benefits.”

This scholarship has been an idea that has travelled a long road of discussion to fruition. They are hopeful that others will join with them to raise enough money to eventually provide several scholarships. For them, this collegial effort is vitally important because the scholarship will provide more than assistance with fees. “We would like to draw from the donor pool to create a mentoring group,” explains Roderic. “So often, children are nurtured through the School and then when they leave, it can be very confronting. To have a group of people who have been there all through your journey and are willing to continue into adulthood as someone you can turn to for guidance, or simply to listen, is very valuable.”

“The Australian Rural and Regional Scholarship uniquely offers student guidance and is a perfect way to assist our very important rural and regional communities.”

The contribution of rural families, over many generations, to the diverse education on offer at Geelong Grammar School is valued and esteemed by our community. The new Australian Rural and Regional Scholarship will ensure that this relationship continues. Roderic and Fiona would like the recipient to be “a child who is a good contributor to their community and tries hard to do their very best … to further themselves and make a difference in society.” For this lucky person, that first experience of entering the Dining Hall at Corio may well be the start of something extraordinary.

THE RUSSELL DRYSDALE

Scholarship for Visual Arts

T

he Corian of December 1925 records that the original drawings of Russell Drysdale (P’30) showed “considerable promise” – a poignant reminder that it is at school where seeds of talent are very often nurtured and encouraged to bloom. Thanks to the generosity of Belinda and John Simson (Cu’74), promising young artists now have the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the great Russell Drysdale at Geelong Grammar School, and to explore their own artistic potential.

“I am interested in architecture because I want to be creative and I want to leave an impact – not just developing buildings for the purpose of them, but looking at creative and useful ways to be truly sustainable. I want to try and push the boundaries of design,” says Tillie Pridham (Yr12 Cl), 2019 Arts Captain and current recipient of The Russell Drysdale Scholarship for Visual Arts. Tillie came to Geelong Grammar School from her home town of Mansfield after deciding to “aim big” by putting in a last-minute application. “I feel like it was meant to be. It was the only school I applied for.”

“We hope, one day, Tillie might be able to give back to her community by inspiring someone else to follow their passion.”

Tillie’s emphasis on creative problem solving is especially pleasing for John and Belinda. “We think that it’s imperative that creativity is embraced in the school curriculum; it’s incredibly important to be able to explore an often hidden talent, not just at school but in all decision making and problem solving over your adult life.” While creativity takes many forms across all areas of the curriculum, John and Belinda wanted to ensure that a scholarship was available specifically for the Visual Arts. “It was really important for us to allow a student to maximise their potential and, as a scholar, inspire the cohort around them and demonstrate that the Visual Arts are valued. We hope the scholarship will give Tillie the confidence to go out into the world and seize her passion. Our best advice is to follow your passion – it doesn’t matter what this is, but if you follow your passion, and you work hard, you’ll reach your potential.”

John and Belinda are realistic about the challenges that young people face when starting out in the visual arts – Russell Drysdale himself was beset by eye problems, but believed that success comes when “you are prepared to put in a lot of hard work, strive for your dreams and be prepared to fail.” For Tillie, having the support of John and Belinda, not only financially but also as role models as partners in a successful design business, is important. “They are not just giving me this scholarship; they are giving me so many opportunities to change my path and my impact. I really value this opportunity. It will have a significant influence on my future.”

HARTLEY MITCHELL

Scholarship

H

ayley Siddons had not anticipated her 13-year-old only son Sunil (Sunny) asking to go to boarding school, but despite her heartbreak at letting him go, she has no regrets.

“Geelong Grammar School has been an exceptionally positive immersion for Sunil, constantly reaffirming that dreams and aspirations are achievable for those who put in the effort.

It has given him access to social, academic and political platforms beyond even my grandest expectations. His hopes and dreams get more tangible every day.”

Sunny Handy (Yr11 M), who has Latje Latje and Barkinji heritage, was raised on Wamba Wamba country in Swan Hill. This is home, but Sunny’s horizons were already expanding by the time he was in Year 8 at his local school. “I thought I wasn’t going to achieve my potential if I stayed at home,” says Sunny. “I was just going to breeze through school putting in as little effort as I could. I was changing, but I wasn’t really changing as much as I wanted. It got to a point where I was pretty much the same person as I was the year before. So I thought it was time.”

Fortunately for Sunny, the opportunity to realise that potential has been made possible by the generosity of the Geelong Grammar School community, inspired by the distinguished career of long-serving staff member and former Head of Manifold House, Hartley Mitchell (Staff 19902009). Hartley chose to mark his retirement by eschewing a dinner and gifts and requesting instead that donors contribute to a scholarship in his name, awarded primarily on the basis of academic merit. Sunny is the third recipient of this award.

“Supporting scholarships at GGS is important in order to enrich the community with a wide variety of students,” says Hartley. “Having students from different backgrounds and with different talents adds hugely to everyone’s experience at GGS.” In an exceptional act of benevolence, Hartley has pledged his entire estate to the Geelong Grammar Foundation Scholarship Fund, ensuring that the Hartley Mitchell Scholarship will benefit other students like Sunny for many years to come.

“Having students from different backgrounds and with different talents adds hugely to everyone’s experience at GGS.

Sunny is deservedly proud of his academic achievements and believes that his scholarship drives his determination to succeed. “It puts me in the situation where I can work hard and apply myself. It’s also a reminder that people are helping me, I have to live up to that.” Hayley recognises the extent to which Sunny is invested in his own success, and hopes that his story gives “pride and satisfaction” to his benefactors. “Your donation is appreciated, valued and respected”, she says. “Thank you so sincerely.”

GORDON MOFFATT

Scholarship

M

offatt batted fast and hard, and treated the School to a delightful exhibition of run-making cricket. [He] was still batting on 64 when the innings closed” recorded the 1948 The Corian. Seventy years on, and Gordon Moffatt AM (M’48) has not forgotten that match. “It was my first match in the Firsts. That helps you mix, particularly with the younger boys; they want to know the older ones who are successful.

Success in sports helps tremendously, and being inclusive and having a good sense of humour helps you get along with your fellow man. To me, that is the most important thing.”

Beginning with a knock on Ian Potter’s door in January 1949, Gordon enjoyed a highly successful career in the investment industry, during which time he served on several high-profile boards, as a city councillor and Deputy Lord Mayor of Melbourne. He now describes himself as “a charity worker … I invest in the market and, any profits I make, I pass onto charity.” The recipients of his philanthropic generosity are many and varied, and include his alma mater Geelong Grammar School. The inaugural Gordon Moffatt Scholarship recipient commenced at Timbertop in 2019; he was selected for his ability to make contributions to society by demonstrating sound practical judgement, as Gordon has stipulated. He is now contributing to a future second scholarship, and the Gordon Moffatt Prize for Contribution to School Life is awarded annually at Speech Day.

“School is more than just about learning subjects.

It’s about mixing with people because that’s what life is about.”

“I think the education system needs to deal with life's more widespread problems,” he explains. “There are a lot of good students who aren't academic. School is more than just about learning subjects. It's about mixing with people because that's what life is about. If you have some academic ability all the better, but it's important to get on with everyone at all levels.”

Gordon attributes his own success to a common-sense attitude, and learning “how to win friends and influence people” – the title of the famous book by Dale Carnegie, which profoundly influenced his attitude towards life. “It taught me to get up on your feet, talk and think.” He hopes that the recipients of his scholarship will be similarly inspired by the opportunity they have been given “to get them out of their present situation into a different arena where they will meet great people. For instance: I went through with Rupert Murdoch (Cu’49), and I would see a bit of him after school. To give kids this opportunity is great, and I think Geelong Grammar offers that situation.”

As he approaches his tenth decade, it’s fair to say that Gordon is still batting “fast and hard”, making runs that bring delight to the many grateful recipients of his benevolent acts – and not least at Geelong Grammar School. Thank you, Gordon.

2018 BIDDLECOMBE SOCIETY The Biddlecombe Society comprises those who have notified a bequest to the School, or their intention to leave a bequest to the School and works with the Geelong Grammar Foundation to strengthen the School into the future. To continue our traditions and to develop the base for future achievements, we look to our community for support in this endeavour.

It has been another significant year for the Biddlecombe Society, building upon the progress of last year. The membership increased from 171 to 191 members. It is a growing group of people and is fast becoming a significant part of the Geelong Grammar School community. The Society comprises a diverse group of people who have a deep connection and care for the School.

January / February

July

In 2018, the Biddlecombe Society had a more national focus. However, through January and February, our attention was on visiting our members who were close to home.

Rural students from the Western District have been a significant part of the School since 1855 when the sons of the early Western District pastoralists enrolled at Geelong Grammar School. In July, we met with members, prospective members and other interested parties in the Biddlecombe Society. We travelled throughout Elaine, Ballarat, Trawalla, Glenthompson, Hamilton, Warrnambool, Killarney and Winchelsea. It allowed us to thank everyone for their ongoing support for the Foundation and the School.

March The Biddlecombe Society hosted its annual Bellarine Peninsula Luncheon at the Barwon Heads Golf Club. The School’s 11th Principal, Stephen Meek, gave a farewell speech at the luncheon.

Attendees included Old Geelong Grammarians, Clyde Old Girls, Hermitage Old Girls together with past and current parents and staff.

There were several interstate visits organised throughout 2018 which included Tasmania, Perth, Gold Coast and Brisbane.

Being in touch with people right across Australia enabled the Society to connect with and grow its membership.

Michael Collins Persse MVO OAM passed away on 25 June. Geelong Grammar School was Michael’s life work. He was President of the Biddlecombe Society and then Honorary President. He was a fundamental part of naming and leading the Society. Michael joined the GGS staff in November 1955, and served our School community with distinction for 63 years, becoming a dear friend and mentor to many. His immense contribution throughout his life will long be remembered, and will no doubt act as an inspiration to those who follow in his footsteps.

May In May, we devoted our time to connect with our Queensland members, particularly on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane. This is an exciting growth area, and our current members are helping us to establish stronger relationships within the region.

We were delighted with the kindness of John Quayle (Cu’48), who bequeathed to the School a scull, to be named ‘JQ’. We are deeply grateful to John for his kindness.

Neil Robertson (FB’72) passed away on 5 September. He joined the Geelong Grammar Foundation Board in 2009 and was appointed Chairman of the Biddlecombe Society in 2014. He was much loved and will be remembered as a passionate, generous and inspiring leader. A beautiful service was held at the Chapel of All Saints, Geelong Grammar School, Corio, on 14 September.

BIDDLECOMBE SOCIETY

September

Through this time of sadness and reflecting on Neil’s passion and hard work, we travelled to Tasmania and visited several Biddlecombe Society members.

We celebrated Cecil ‘Boz’ Parsons (M’36) 100th birthday; he returned with wife Barbara and their family to enjoy morning tea in Manifold House on 12 September. Boz was a staff member from 1962 to 1980, serving as Housemaster of Manifold House from 1965 to 1978, Acting Master of Corio in 1978 and Master of Corio from late 1978 to 1979.

November We were delighted to host the Biddlecombe Society luncheon at the Royal Sydney Golf Club. It was a time to remember Michael Collins Persse MVO OAM and Neil Robertson, our Honorary President and Chairman, respectively. Those present were moved by the video tribute to these two inspirational individuals who had given so much of themselves over many, many years, making the Biddlecombe Society what it is today. Our guest speaker, Rebecca Cody, was welcomed warmly and her address greatly appreciated by all present.

August

October

The Biddlecombe Society held its inaugural Mornington Peninsula luncheon at the Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club.

Acting Chairman David Henry (FB’69) hosted the event and was pleased to introduce the 12th Principal of Geelong Grammar School, Rebecca Cody, as the guest speaker.

More than 100 people attended the Biddlecombe Society Melbourne luncheon in the Jim Stynes Room at the MCG, which was our largest attended event.

August was a busy month visiting members in Euroa, Seymour, Mansfield and Alexandra. We also travelled interstate to Perth.

More than 2,000 people gathered at our Corio Campus for a Memorial Service to celebrate the life of Michael Collins Persse MVO OAM on 27 August.

Rebecca Cody, our Principal, was the guest speaker and there were video tributes to Michael Collins Persse MVO OAM and Neil Robertson.

When Michael was unwell and in Hospital, Brooke Pithie (Yr11 He), travelled by bus into Geelong to play the bagpipes in the street outside the Hospital. She was hoping Michael would hear her music and this might provide some comfort to him. In a fitting finale, after a one-minute silence to honour Michael and Neil, she played the piece of music. It was a truly lovely moment to reflect upon these two great men, both of whom had such a significant impact upon the Biddlecombe Society and wider Geelong Grammar School community.

December Charlie Sutherland (P’86) was appointed Chairman of the Biddlecombe Society in December. Following the passing of our Chairman, Neil Robertson, in September, someone with similar passion was sought to take over and carry on the inspirational leadership Neil had shown during his successful tenure. Charlie’s connections to Geelong Grammar School are strong. His grandfather Sir James R Darling was Headmaster of Corio and both his parents taught at the School.

REMEMBERING

Michael Collins Persse and Neil Robertson

T

here are two kinds of renewal: natural, like the passage of the seasons, and supernatural, where there is something more (something not limited to time), something of God, something of love, something of grace and wisdom – voluntarily expressed or enacted by human beings.”

In Well-Ordered Liberty, his literary portrait of Geelong Grammar School, Michael Collins Persse refers to the passage of time and the markers of history by which the School evolves. There is natural renewal in physical changes, in educational evolution and in responding to the external pressures of a changing world, but the supernatural regeneration to which Michael refers – the “something more … enacted by human beings” – is the lifeblood of the School, flowing from the kindness and generosity of selfless individuals. In this light, the deaths of Michael and Neil Robertson (FB’72) in 2018, master and pupil respectively, do not represent the closing of a chapter but rather a moment of renewal in the life of the School.

In different ways, Michael and Neil irrevocably affected the lives of those around them. Garry Pierson, Associate Director of Advancement (Biddlecombe Society and Bequests), worked very closely with both men over many years, and is well placed to reflect on their distinctive personalities. “Michael embodied the gravitas of history, cultivated over 63 years of service to the School, but with such a gentle presence that it was not foreboding. Rather, as so many of his friends and former pupils have reflected, he made everyone feel comfortable and like they belonged. Neil was a bon-viveur, with a natural ability to draw a crowd without ever being the centre of attention; a people connector with an innate ability to break down barriers and surmount problems. He saw the best in people, then encouraged them to be proud of their capabilities to help others.”

Together, Michael and Neil sustained an abiding love for Geelong Grammar School; “an authentic and genuine passion with a force of nature about it” describes Garry. This deep, almost visceral connection to the School motivated them, together, to build the Geelong Grammar Foundation and the Biddlecombe Society. “They were especially driven by the shared belief that children deserve to be given a go in an environment that will bring out the best in them, and they both believed that a bequest was a very powerful way of putting back into your school and contributing to its longevity and wellbeing.” As a result of their extraordinary generosity, the Michael Collins Persse Scholarship currently supports four students.

For those who loved them the absence of Michael and Neil is difficult to reconcile, but Garry draws comfort from the belief that, in the words of Hartley Mitchell (staff 1990–2009), “their legacy is infinitely more important than the loss.” This legacy, being the example of Michael’s and Neil’s altruistic devotion to the School, “bolsters our efforts into the future and inspires greatness” says Garry – to do “something more”. At this moment of renewal, their presence lives on and will be manifest in generations to come.

$250,000 was chosen as our target, as this is the minimum required to launch a named scholarship in perpetuity. The Geelong Grammar Foundation’s goal is to offer more named scholarships to future students who would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience a Geelong Grammar School education. While scholarships were the feature of our 2018 Annual Giving programme, it was important that our community had the option to choose their appeal of interest, such as the Library Fund.

hen a shared cause unites people, you can achieve great things. We aspired to raise $250,000 in 250 days, and we reached our target by day 225. This was an impressive 51% increase from 2017. It was a history-making campaign, raising over $300,000, and we thank our community for rising to the challenge,” Jo Nitz, Executive Director of the Geelong Grammar Foundation, explained.

ANNUAL GIVING

HISTORY-MAKING

Once again, our community showed the true spirit of philanthropy by donating considerably to scholarships. 77.4% of Annual Giving was directed towards supporting scholarships. Your help allows us to expand our scholarship programme to benefit future Geelong Grammar School students. In 2018, 25% of our secondary students received financial assistance to attend the School.

Annual Giving raised $25,925 for libraries in 2018. There is an increasing need for flexible and varied learning spaces. Gifts to the Library Fund allow the School to be exceptional in creating exciting, adaptable learning spaces and there are now two distinctive new areas in the Fisher Library.

11.8% of Annual Giving donors supported building projects in 2018. Funds raised were directed towards the Timbertop Refurbishment Programme and the Yacht Club Rebuilding project.

“At the close of Annual Giving, we were filled with pride by the generosity of Old Geelong Grammarians, Clyde Old Girls and Hermitage Old Girls, together with past and current parents, former staff and existing staff, friends and students,” Jo said. “We wish to warmly thank you for your generosity, your loyalty and your investment in Geelong Grammar School.

All gifts, large and small, make a lasting difference.”

t is entirely appropriate that Jeremy Madin’s (FB’64) Angus cattle graze alpine pastures in the shadow of Mt Timbertop. After his own stint at Timbertop as a student in 1961, Jeremy was appointed Head of Timbertop in 1983. During his five years in the role he encouraged his students “to feel that intense sense of mystery and excitement … that sense of wilderness’ that only the Timbertop experience can provide.” With headmasterships of Christ Church Grammar School in Perth and Cranbrook in Sydney following Timbertop, Jeremy is well placed to reflect on the demands facing schools today. “I am deeply conscious of the fact that if schools are to imaginatively and energetically improve their educational offerings, they face many financial challenges that cannot be funded from fees alone.”

ANNUAL GIVING

A ‘steer a year’ for our School

On this premise, Jeremy and his wife Sally have devised an innovative way to support the Annual Giving campaign. Each year, they donate the market value of one of their steers to the Scholarship Fund. “We hoped it might encourage other country people to consider something similar, especially if like us they are retirees who would like to help but rely on super and incidental farm income rather than the certainty of a salary. Some bigger rural operators might wish to donate a truckload of wheat a year, or a bale of wool, according to their means.” Jeremy has chosen to support scholarships in particular because of the opportunity he himself received to attend Geelong Grammar School on a scholarship, following the untimely death of his father. “[Those] five especially formative years gave a terrific boost to my educational experience, in the widest sense. I learnt that you can overcome most challenges if you are thoughtful, collaborative and determined.”

S From the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Whats Next?

ince Rebecca Cody commenced as Principal there has been an emphasis on listening and working with our community to determine their wishes for Geelong Grammar School’s future. After an intense period of listening, observing and consulting, an exciting new strategic direction has been shaped for the School. School Council has endorsed an associated Strategic Framework, with the implementation to commence in 2019.

The new Strategic Framework is bold, offering new and exciting educational opportunities for our students. It is an exciting time at Geelong Grammar School; we look forward to keeping you informed of new developments and the Framework.

We were overwhelmed with the support from our generous community during our 2018 Annual Giving programme, raising over $300,000 for scholarships and other programmes such as the Library Fund and exceeding our target of $250,000 in 250 days. It was a history-making campaign, with the highest giving we have ever received. Thank you for your support and for contributing to such a wonderful achievement.

With the success of 2018, we are aspiring to have another history-making year. We are embarking on an exciting new initiative – our inaugural GGS Giving Day on Wednesday 12 June 2019. For one day only, every gift made to the GSS Giving Day will be doubled, thanks to the generosity of donors who have committed to match every gift.

Queensland and living on a farm, I have seen firsthand the difficulties with drought and the impact on my own family. It has been such a rewarding experience to personally work with Fiona Ratcliffe (Archer, Je’77) and Roderic O’Connor (P’75) and create awareness and build philanthropic support for such a special scholarship as the Australian Rural and Regional Scholarship. I am humbled that we are more than halfway to reaching our target of $800,000. This is our minimum target, but we are striving for a full scholarship of approximately $2M. The Australian Rural and Regional Scholarship is our Giving Day focus. We hope the success of our GGS Giving Day and donations already received will enable the inaugural Australian Rural and Regional Scholarship recipient to commence in 2021.

We will be phoning members of our community on Wednesday 12 June 2019, with the hope of garnering support for this scholarship and other appeals. Our GGS Giving Day goal will be announced within email communication sent to our community in early June.

If you are planning to make a tax-deductible gift, please visit the GGS Giving section of the School website and follow the links.

Thank you in advance for your support again in 2019 and helping future students, so they too can share in the Geelong Grammar School experience.

Jo Nitz Executive Director, Geelong Grammar Foundation

While our community can support any appeal of their interest, such as the Library Fund, we are officially launching a new scholarship to benefit future students from remote, rural and regional areas – the Australian Rural and Regional Scholarship.

This year was incredibly successful and became more popular as the word spread about the quality of the visiting fellows.

The programme is intended to broaden horizons and allow all in the GGS community to listen to exciting speakers who, in their different ways, are significant contributors to society. As a result, in 2019 the programme is increasingly recognised, and will feature high profile speakers such as Lachy Hulme, Geoff Lemon (FB’99), Professor Andrew McNamara and Dr Anita Heiss. We want to thank the generous benefactors, Richard Southby (FB’56) and Janet Southby, without whom the programme would not exist.

WHAT’S NEXT?

The Richard and Janet Southby Visiting Fellows Programme

Donor Recognition Programme Stewardship and building relationships has been our key focus during 2018. We are excited to launch, our brand new Donor Recognition Society. This programme will acknowledge loyal and consistent donors who have supported us at any level over five years or more. We are excited to implement this comprehensive programme, which will fully engage our valued donors.

We look forward to providing more information in the second half of 2019.

A Focus on Scholarships Through our Scholarships Programme we are proud to provide life-changing opportunities. In 2018 the Foundation provided 53 scholarships and moving forward, scholarships will continue to be a focus. It is remarkable that almost 25% of our secondary students benefit from financial assistance through our Scholarships Programme. In 2019, we have two inaugural scholarship students commencing at Timbertop through the Tommy Garnett and Gordon Moffatt Scholarships. Gordon is currently in the process of funding a future second scholarship. We are also establishing the Handbury Family Scholarship, which will benefit students from rural communities. We are striving to offer more scholarships to students who would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience a GGS education.

Thank you for supporting the Geelong Grammar School Scholarships Programme; your gifts make it possible for our students to go further than they ever thought possible. We are so grateful, and thank you for creating a meaningful difference in the lives of so many.

Tommy Garnett Scholarship Launch

The Geelong Grammar Foundation, in collaboration with Geelong Grammar School, launched the Tommy Garnett Scholarship, at the School for Performing Arts and Creative Education on Friday 2 March 2018 with over 70 people in attendance. It was also a wonderful occasion to celebrate the life of Tommy Garnett (Headmaster 1961-73), his contribution to Geelong Grammar School and the introduction of co-education during his leadership. The Foundation is proud to honour Tommy Garnett through the Tommy Garnett Scholarship in his memory. The scholarship has now been awarded, and the student commenced their journey at Timbertop in 2019.
