NEW & OLD

In this edition of New & Old you will read about and see the outcome of many people’s hard work on the Games Room and Picken A and C refurbishments over the summer break. Students who are the first to experience these upgrades have been very complimentary about living in these spaces, giving us a good blueprint for future refurbishments of student rooms in Main Building and eventually McCaughey Court. These upgrades were long overdue, with one alumnus from the 60s recently staying in a Picken room and commenting that the rooms and bathrooms had not changed since he was a student resident.

You will also read about the outcome of a recent campaign to raise funds for newly created Dining Hall furniture. When the Dining Hall opened in 1893 it was much larger than the College required reflecting the vision of a College of 400 students, however that aim has been surpassed as we are now a College of over 600 students. Thanks to the generosity of donors we were able to commission four new tables and 40 chairs, each piece a slightly simplified version of the neo-Gothic originals.

This is a wonderful legacy for the College and demonstrates that our generous community are willing to support capital projects. These Ormondians can recall the fond memories they had sharing meals in the Dining Hall, conversations in the common rooms, or just a quiet moment of solace in their rooms and they want to ensure future generations have that same experience.

We will soon be working on a revised Master Plan for the College that will allow us to share our grand vision for the campus to ensure it continues to be an inspiring place to live and learn, and a College of first choice, for the next decade and beyond.

The Games Room was identified by students as an important area of focus.

As much as it is a place for relaxation, the Games Room is also host to student discussions and forums so versatility was top of mind for design. New bi-fold doors and large windows, polished floors, stylish lighting and soft furnishings have given it an open, contemporary feel, and the stunning in-built fireplace is making the colder months all the more cosy.

Bedrooms in Picken A and C have also welcomed a refresh. New carpets, blinds, and modern furnishings along with a fresh coat of paint make the spaces more practical and homely. Bathrooms in Picken A have also been refurbished, which now completes renovations for both buildings.

how this scenario really isn’t that different to sitting your LSAT, writing a final exam or delivering a presentation.

Since beginning my new role at Ormond College, one thing among many that I have observed is that students here are like any other performer – working to grow, develop and deliver a high standard of performance, academically and beyond. They all have aspirations, are passionate about what they do, are held to rigorous standards, work incredibly hard, and deliver high performance on demand.

Regardless of context, high performance requires the establishment of clear goals, targeted motivation, the development of core competencies, and many hours of training. Like most athletes, students do a good job of this, but gone are the days of simply working harder.

To sustain such efforts over time, one must ensure that sufficient active recovery is implemented, and adequate resources are developed to manage the various and numerous stressors faced throughout life and along the high-performance journey. Based on

1

Know yourself Self-awareness is undoubtedly the most important life and performance skill. Understand your triggers, your tendencies and plan ahead so you can respond effectively.

2

Connect with others Relationships are the most important resource we have available to us. Connect when in need and support when others need.

3

Keep active Physical activity is an extremely effective and often free way to buffer the effects of stress. The fitter you are, the better you will respond under pressure.

4

Build skills There are a multitude of behavioral and cognitive skills you can build when things are going well for you. Increase your capacity and capability and call on them effectively when you need them.

5

Recovery It’s as important as the effort and is an active process.

introduction of programs, services and facilities that emphasise prevention, early intervention, the promotion of healthy lifestyles, and the development of resilience-based skills.

Central to this approach is ensuring students are actively included to develop and promote initiatives that are socially valid and relevant within the Ormond community. This is an important perspective I gained during my time as the team leader at Headspace Mount Druitt. As such, we are in the process of establishing a student advisory group to provide consultation and seek feedback from the community.

Although this step is an important one, there is a long journey ahead to developing a culture of sustainable wellness and high-performance at Ormond. I welcome the challenge and the opportunity to be part of the Ormond community.

Dr Thomas Hammond is Director of Community and Wellbeing and leads the strategic direction for the portfolio. Prior to joining Ormond College, he was the lead psychologist for the 2018 Winter Olympic Team and has led a number of mental health and highperformance sport services.

“ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS NOT MAGIC, IT IS NOT MYSTERIOUS, AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GENES. IT IS A DISCIPLINE. AND LIKE ANY DISCIPLINE IT CAN BE LEARNED.” PETER DRUCKER

Can you teach entrepreneurship?

At barbeques and gala events, I still routinely get asked: “can entrepreneurship even be taught?” The answer is a resounding yes!

Peter Drucker, one of the most influential writers and thinkers on management education, puts it best: “Entrepreneurship is not magic, it is not mysterious, and it has nothing to do with genes. It is a discipline. And like any discipline it can be learned.”

In all other professions it is regularly accepted and unquestioned that education should be provided for future practitioners such as doctors, engineers, lawyers and nurses. So why don’t we think the same about entrepreneurship? The truth is it can very much be taught, but it needs to be taught in a very particular style – in a way that is practical and hands-on.

This is how we teach entrepreneurship – through an experiential process, working on real-life startups, in teams, with the best mentor and industry network in Australia. And now we are ready to bring this model to classrooms Australia wide,
