hen it comes to the most memorable moments on Australian television, we have much to thank the Logies for. There was the infamous moment at the 1973 awards when US cop show star Michael Cole drunkenly slurred “sh..” – the first time an expletive was uttered on Aussie TV. Who can forget 1979, when Logies host Bert Newton quipped to special guest Muhammad Ali “I like the boy”, not realising “boy” was a racial slur in America. And this year’s “do not adjust your sets” speech by Gold Logie winner Waleed Aly, calling for greater diversity on our screens, will no doubt go down in TV history. But for me, nothing beats the moment when 2015 Gold Logie winner Carrie Bickmore donned a blue beanie in honour of her late husband who died of brain cancer. The gesture touched hearts around the country but it was also the start of a new mission for TV’s golden girl. Read about her ambitious new project inside. ●

SARAH HARRIS talks to A TV STAR ON A MISSION
T
he golden girl of Australian television Carrie Bickmore is feeling a wee bit the goose. Weeks before the official launch of her range of fashion beanies to raise money for the cause closest to her heart, the much-loved TV presenter’s charitable foundation has all-but sold out of merchandise. “It has been a quick lesson in business,” the host of Network Ten’s The Project admits with a wry laugh. “Because I thought no one would buy one, I significantly under-ordered. I have just had to put in a new order and try and back-date product. I’m like, OK, this is quite the experience.” To be fair, becoming a beanie broker was not something the mother of two envisaged when she made her poignant and powerful speech accepting the 2015 Gold Logie for most popular personality on Australian television.
‘You know you are favourite to win, have you got a speech ready?’,” the 35-year-old recalls. “It was only after I got off the phone I thought, ‘Oh, maybe I will have to say something’. “So I sat there for an hour and I am, like, what am I going to talk about that is going to actually resonate with people? The brain cancer journey of Greg and I has shaped so much of my life. This [the Logie nomination] was about celebrating my work life, but my working life sat side by side a really challenging personal life. “My life isn’t all hair and make-up and red carpets. There have been some very challenging moments and I wanted to let people know at home they are not alone in whatever their challenge is. “The only reason I thought of the beanie was because I often think of Greg wearing one. So I called this factory about an hour and

a half out of Melbourne and drove there and bought 100 beanies. I thought, if I don’t need them I will just give them to the homeless.” Carrie told no one of her plan except her immediate family and one friend from work. “I just kept it to myself really and, to be honest, I didn’t know if I would have the strength to do it. Even as they made the announcement all I could think was, ‘Do I take the beanie or not, do I take the beanie or not?’. But I am so glad I did because what has happened since has just completely blown my mind.”

Carrie captivated her peers attending the glittering industry event, and the watching nation when she used her acceptance speech to raise awareness of brain cancer. Her voice catching with emotion, she explained how the insidious disease not only stole her husband Greg Lange, but kills more people under the age of 40 than any other cancer and more children than any other disease. And she described how her family was irrevocably changed by brain cancer when Greg died two days after Christmas 2010 at age 34. “Over 10 years I watched him suffer multiple seizures a day, lose feeling down one side of his body, have his little three-year-old push him in his wheelchair because he couldn’t walk any more. He was an incredibly brave man … but he shouldn’t have had to go through that,” she said. She concluded the speech by donning a blue beanie – just like the one Greg used to wear to hide the scars of multiple surgeries – and appealed to colleagues to do the same the next day. Instantly, Carrie’s #beanies4braincancer was trending on Twitter. Between the glittering Paolo Sebastian gown and the incongruous headgear – the frock and the hard place – the three-time Logie winner had opened a window on her soul and the public, already adoring, loved her a little more. But it so nearly didn’t happen. Two days before the Logies, a friend voiced what all the punters were saying. “He said,
arrie was 19 and studying at Perth’s Curtin University when she met Greg. Enrolling in journalism was one of those sliding-door moments, after she turned down a scholarship to study dance at the urging of a careers adviser. “At the time, the careers adviser saying ‘you will never make a career out of dance’ was probably an irresponsible thing to say because, one, she hadn’t seen me dance and, two, I don’t think you should ever tell somebody – even though their dream is big – that it is not possible. “At the same time I am always glad she did tell me because the path my life has led has been incredibly rewarding,” says Carrie, who enjoyed the more glamorous side of the action hosting So You Think You Can Dance Australia (series four in 2010).
Born in Adelaide, Carrie moved to Perth at five with her mother Jennie following her parents’ divorce. Jennie, who would go on to become a highly regarded educator, remarried, raising Carrie along with her two elder stepsisters, Claud and Ash. Carrie describes herself as “a bit of a dag” as a teen. “I was pretty conscientious. I did my homework and had it in on time and had assignments finished days before they needed to be. I know a lot of people assume I was incredibly outgoing at school, but I was a very different person to who I am now. I was very easily intimidated. I was intimidated by other girls who I am sure now were not terrifying, but in my mind were terrifying.” With the same diligence she exhibited during her years at the Anglican all-girls school Perth College, Carrie applied herself to uni and, well before graduating in 2000, she had a gig at Perth radio station 92.9FM. In 2001 Carrie and Greg moved to Melbourne where she joined Nova 100.3.
as she had seen her mother (Dr Jennie Bickmore-Brand) work. “I grew up with my mum, who was contributing so much and working so hard and that was what I saw as the norm. Every night she would make dinner and clean up and I would see her in the study for two hours trying to complete her doctorate. I think it took her eight or nine years while raising three girls to complete. She never complained about it, just had her head down and bum up and did it.” In 2005 Carrie and Greg married and in 2007 they welcomed their son Oliver, by which time the “laughing person’s newsreader” had already become a popular television presence on Rove Live, while still working at Nova with Dave Hughes and Kate Langbroek. “I was working full-time, he [Greg] was going for treatment and we had our little boy and never knew quite what was around the corner,” she says. “We had a mortgage and it is not cheap to be sick. I often think I worked so
Greg lived to see his wife win her first Logie in 2010 for most popular new female talent for The 7pm Project – as The Project was originally known. In the hard years that followed, their son Oliver brought joy to her life. After Greg’s death came a new relationship with The Project producer Chris Walker (now producer of Charlie Pickering’s The Weekly Weekly) and in February 2015 Carrie gave birth to their daughter Evie. “I often read headlines about my new life and how I have moved forward and it amuses me, because anyone who has suffered grief will tell you it is not like that,” she says. “Grief is a really tricky thing; it is a very fluid thing and I don’t think there is ever any end point to it. But I’m OK with that. I can’t imagine it any other way. My past will always be with me, it shaped who I am today and I wouldn’t want a world where Greg wasn’t part of it. I look at my son and I see Greg. He is very much like him in different ways. We talk about him all the time.
PROJECT Part of the motivation to move east was to be closer to her father Brian – a founding executive of Austereo and its longest-serving director until his retirement in 2004. The young couple’s future looked bright, but within months Greg was diagnosed with a brain tumour – its shadow lengthening as it recurred after treatment. “Greg would often say, ‘I just feel like there is no one that understands’. There wasn’t a brain cancer community that we, at least, could find or were tapped into. “We didn’t know any other people who were in their 20s who were going through this stuff. People in their 20s are supposed to be partying, travelling the world and we just didn’t do any of that. “We never knew what each six-month scan was going to bring. It was a completely different and an incredibly isolating experience, which bought us very close together but made life challenging in different ways. I was forced to grow up very quickly.” Through it all Carrie worked, just

incredibly hard, and whether that has helped me get where I am from a career perspective. But I wasn’t doing it from that motivation. Just working in this industry I was happy enough. And it was a great outlet as well. “There were times when Greg would say to me, ‘I don’t want you to just sit by my bedside and watch me be sick’. He wanted me to have things to come home from work and tell him about, experiences and stuff.”

“Grief is a really tricky thing; it is very fluid & I don’t think there is ever any end point to it”
“At the same time I am also very aware that I don’t want Ollie’s life to be heavy. I want it to still have the lightness of childhood. He was obviously dealt an extremely tough card very early on and I look at him now and I am so incredibly proud of who he is. He is just a gorgeous boy.” Now, on top of the demands of a high-profile job, the needs of her family and the pressure, as ambassador for beauty brand Garnier, to look good even when she steps out on a school run, there’s the business of the beanies. Even before her latest order of beanies (available at the end of July) Carrie had reached almost $800,000 of her $1 million fund-raising target through her BrainBeats concert and public donations. She has already presented the first $250,000 grant to the Royal Melbourne Hospital Neuroscience Foundation towards developing a blood test for brain cancer. But in this particular battle there is still a very long way to go. “Like most women do, I often feel tired. I am exhausted sometimes, but when I look back at the past 15 years of my life I have this perspective of knowing that I am so fortunate that I am here, so fortunate that I can do any of this, so stop being tired Carrie and just get on with it.” ● sharris@theweeklyreview.com.au

Paradigm Hill Col’s Block Shiraz 2012 (Mornington Peninsula) $49; 13.1%
Hither & Yon Aglianico 2013 (McLaren Vale) $27; 12.6%
A wine of true personality – a bit like its maker, George Mihaly. It’s a bit funky – reductive is the winemaking term – and stalky, but I love wines like this. Behind the funk is a spicy shiraz of perfume, with black cherries and blood plums. It’s an elegant delight in the mouth, with black and blue fruits, spice and pepper. ●
Aglianico’s a late-ripening grape from the Campania and Basilicata regions of southern Italy. It’s not grown much here but it’s a grape with a real future. Fresh plum and raspberry – a little pinot-like – white pepper and wild herb flavours are supported by juicy acid and sandy tannins. Note the low alcohol. ●
Winemaker Sam Coverdale makes a range of wines on the Mornington Peninsula under the Polperro label, plus wines from further afield under Even Keel. This is a gloriously perfumed and spicy wine and behind the spice are blueberry, violet, dark cherry and cured-meat flavours. There’s a silkiness to the texture and great length. ●

called rotundone that has a strong peppery character. It comes from the skins of grapes and develops late into the ripening process. The longer the grapes hang on the vine – in cool climates that can be a month or two later than warm areas – the greater the concentration. It’s found in a range of grapes – pinot noir, riesling, graciano and durif – but most often in shiraz. It’s a character I love. ● GOT A QUESTION EMAIL \

EMILIA \ CITY
E
milia-Romagna, at the knee of Italy’s boot, is the region responsible for many of the country’s most excellent edible exports. Balsamic vinegar, parmigiano reggiano, salumi, tortellini … even spag bol! So imagine, if you will, a restaurant dedicated entirely to all of these, smartly tucked away in one of Melbourne’s laneways, with a revolving list of stupendous seasonal specials and the kind of charming staff who don’t baulk at your propensity to get excited by said menu, over-order and then ask for doggy bags. Bene! Everything’s great, but the salumi e gnocco fritto is a must if “meat donuts” are a thing you want in your life. Lard-based dough is deep-fried and turned into puffy pillows ready for mortadella mousse. The wild mushroom risotto is also remarkable: pine mushrooms and Slippery Jacks bobbing about in perfectly montecato-d wholemeal carnaroli rice. Ask for the tortellini con brodo – it’s not on the menu, probably because folding the tiny tortellini requires regular rests. For dessert, the Vienetta 2015 is not what I remember of Vienetta c1995; the ricotta mousse, semifreddo and boozy chocolate sauce is a fitting arrivederci to one of my favourite dinners of the year. ●
THE VERDICT
BRUNCH \ UNCOMMON Close to work, this is a cafe with a difference. No refined sugar and gluten-free. Definitely the best cafe in Windsor. A DATE \ EMBLA This dark and intimate wine bar by the Town Mouse guys, on Russell Street, is perfect for a date. The small menu has some seriously good food and amazing wines.

READING DING \ I adore Womankind magazine, particularly the latest issue which combines philosophy and Egyptology. One article in particular, about the importance of reconnecting with Mother Nature and the feminine side of farming, is just divine. ●

COOKING \ Brussels sprouts. If you cringed as you read that, you’ve obviously never burnt them. Halve and whack them in the oven on 220 degrees, with a pinch of brown sugar, salt flakes and plenty of butter.

KATE AMOS \ CINDERELLA
O
pera has a reputation for being supersized. Leaving aside the cliche about plus-sized women singing, the art form is characterised by melodrama, grandiose performances and running times that can numb even the hardiest of bums. The latest production from Victorian Opera bucks this trend. At just under an hour, Cinderella aims for the smallest of crowds. Specifically, children aged three to 12. “With respect to the art of opera, it is a dying art form,” says director Libby Hill. “The audiences are getting older. It’s really important to expose kids to opera from a very young age. They don’t need to like it, but to not have an experience of it would be sort of sacrilegious.” As it is, the kids do like it. This is the third year running Victorian Opera has run a children’s program, alongside school “incursions”, for which a company member leads a workshop with a class. “All the kids who have experienced those workshops come away loving the opera. Last year, a group of kids who came to one of our shows was afterwards running madly around the Arts Centre forecourt screaming at the top of their lungs that they wanted to be opera singers, so it obviously works,”
(CHARLIE KINROSS)
wat c h \ victorian oper a
Libby says. The company has learnt a lot about what works by listening to the sort of unflinchingly honest reactions only children can provide. While Cinderella will be sung in the original French, each section will be preceded by an explanatory slide. Likewise, the performers have been directed to be unusually physical for opera, so the action is easy to follow. Libby says performances are a relaxed affair offering an authentic taste of opera without the accompanying snootiness. “We encourage children to giggle, to applaud and boo if you hate the stepmother.” This year’s program also includes new family opera The Pied Piper Piper. ● mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au » Cinderella, Arts Centre Melbourne, July 16 (three performances), $30-$45, victorianopera.com.au

GHOSTBUSTERS Yes, the Ghostbusters are back to trample on your childhood. Or so armies of internet cry-babies would have us believe. Director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) has rebooted the ’80s classic with four of the best female comic actors in the biz. Given our current obsession with resurrecting franchises, gender-flipping does seem the best way to get more women on screen. I’m hopeful the film will prove the doubters wrong, even if the trailer has the humour skewed a little dumber than ideal. ■ Opens July 14, 116 minutes, ghostbusters.com + ONLINE \ Read Myke’s review

The selection is pleasingly eclectic, featuring well-worn classics and great performances from Lawrence Olivier, Ian McKellan and Michael Fassbender, as well as offbeat picks including silent shorts, Derek Jarman’s The Angelic Conversation and ghoulish comedy Theatre of Blood.

Dave Alred is a performance coach, best known for his work with British rugby player Jonny Wilkinson. He’s also improved the game of golfers, dolphin trainers and the West Coast Eagles. The main thrust of his approach is to transform negative emotions such as stress and anxiety into positives. At times, this is as simple as changing the language we use. It’s an engaging and quietly revolutionary book, with tips pertinent for everyone from CEOs to parents. ● HEAR

Delta comes out fighting on album number five. Dramatic opener Feline sees her turn on her detractors with claws out (her time on Cats has clearly left its mark), ready to be the “fiercest queen out in the wild”. This theme of positive thinking runs through the record (see also Wings and Enough) – it’s basically the pop equivalent of a self-help book. But there’s nothing wrong with aiming to inspire, particularly when the tunes are this confident, memorable and thrilling. ●
Stranger Things \ Netflix from July 15. netflix.com.au
The latest big hitter from Netflix is a nostalgia binge-fest. It’s set in the 1980s and cherry-picks the best of that decade’s pop culture. When young boy Will goes missing after a strenuous Dungeons and Dragons session, his small town finds itself drawn into a (literally) monstrous conspiracy. Winona Ryder stars as his mum, with Matthew Modine as a sinister scientist. It’s ET meets Stephen King. ● STRANGER THINGS

Films by the Coen Brothers usually benefit from a second or third viewing and this romp through 1950s Hollywood is no exception. I’m not sure if there’s too much or too little happening (the script doesn’t reconcile parallels between religion, politics and cinema) but there’s nostalgic fun to be had. Josh Brolin plays studio fixer Eddie Mannix, with George Clooney, Tilda Swinton and Scarlett Johansson. ● MB HAIL CAESAR! \ GEORGE CLOONEY

An in-joke about a character who regarded himself as secretary-general of the neighbourhood, and a small balcony, inspired the creation of BankyMoon Plantstands. “To begin with it wasn’t a business, so we didn’t need a name but then BankyMoon came in handy,” laughs Noel Skrzypczak, who is one half of the Ivanhoe-based partnership named as Etsy Awards New Talent winner. “It started out with my partner Andy [Newton] making plant stands for me. “We had a very small space and I found the plant stands on the market were just too bland or had a bigger footprint than I needed. “We wanted plant furniture that was really strong and was multifunctional that brought a bit of colour and fun to the balcony.”
Noel, an award-winning professional visual artist recognised internationally for her paint alchemy, had the colour component covered while Andy, with his background in metal fabrication, produced the first prototype of their funky signature Cactus Stand almost two years ago. The birth of the couple’s first child Aki, now one, put a temporary halt to production, but now BankyMoon is well and truly open for business. “We have lots of other ideas in the pipeline,” Noel says. This includes a line of customdesigned air-conditioner covers that screen the unit and allow people to use the space above it while still allowing necessary airflow. Just the ticket for apartment dwellers. ●

Fashionistas may eventually declare it curtains for the tassel, but when Joelle Boelen saw a box of beautiful premium leather scraps she didn’t give a hoot about trends. “I looked at it and thought that’s going to the bin soon and I cannot let such beautiful material go to waste so I bought a whole lot of it,” she recalls. “I’d been making things my whole life and I knew something would come of it … the tassel seemed like the perfect object to make.” Soft, supple, sexy and sustainable, they catapulted frill&frank to the Etsy Award finals in the Lasting World category within seven months of Joelle joining the online makers’ marketplace. “They are such wonderful little tactile objects to have hanging off your bag, and whenever you are in line at a bank or supermarket … you will find yourself

When taking baby steps into business what could be more inspiring than little baby feet. Sylvia Oh’s models for the first prototypes of her delectable watermelon, ice-cream and pineapple baby shoes were her sons Dwayne, 4, and Harvey, 2. “I studied industrial and contemporary art at the University of Tasmania, graduated and moved to Melbourne and, not long after, found that I was pregnant,” the Mount Waverley mum and finalist in the Etsy Awards Fashion and Accessories category reveals. “While I was looking after my baby I had a lot of time and I thought maybe I will just make something for him … I found joy in creating and sewing.” By the time her second son was born, Sylvia recognised she had the makings of her own brand. “In 2014 I realised we could actually take this to another level and make a bit of side income while I was pretty much a full-time at-home mum. After joining Etsy, Sylvia created a website and joined Instagram, “which I think has been quite important because the designs are creative, fun and visual”. Sylvia designs her own fabric as well as cutting and stitching every little shoe and matching accessories to create an entirely bespoke look for baby. “I especially love making the shoes and seeing them on a newborn – they are so cute.” ●

fondling your tassel,” the Collingwood-based industrial designer laughs. From bag tassels to tassel necklaces and earrings, Joelle has ideas for “tasselled adornments all about your person”. “The exciting thing about using scrap leather is that every single furniture store and upholsterer has premium leather offcuts. I really love the idea of using scrap that normally just goes straight to the bin because it’s not viable to keep. “I have always had quite a passion for collecting second-hand objects and creating new life from recycled parts – to create the new and incredible out of the old, tired or unwanted.” ● » frillandfrank.etsy.com

Catherine Baxter loves cycling. “It’s good for you, it’s easy commuting and it’s good for the environment,” she says. The Cheltenham resident used to ride every day but, in between looking after her two young kids, her work in aged care, and her studies in community services, it’s hard to find the time these days. Later this year, after a long break, Catherine will return for her fifth Great Victorian Bike Ride, peddling her four-year-old daughter Emily from the Grampians to the Great Ocean Road. “It’s a good way to see Victoria,” she says. Where do you go for a great cup of coffee? Both Cafe Galiano or Johnny Dante have good coffee, good food and good service. For the perfect gift? I’d grab a good book from Dymocks. I’m a member there so I like to collect the points.
For a sneaky takeaway? Skippy Pizza seems to be the best around here. It’s not greasy and it’s hot at the door. For a big night out? Groove Train has got good service, good food. For Friday-night drinks? I go to Red Corner Cafe, sometimes with friends and sometimes by myself. To take the kids?

BARRE
The reality We stand in line at the barre and begin our routine, first warming up, then moving on to squats, pliés, working abs, arms, gluts and core, using a variety of props including balls and weights and, of course, the barre. Moves are timed to a soundtrack of ’80s and current pop, which our instructor Josh uses to count us through. Josh is motivating and sometimes hilarious, the archetypal fitness instructor – full of enthusiasm and glowing with energy and positivity.

The promise If you know anything about fitness trends, you’ll be aware barre workout is hip right now. Designed by a ballerina, it fuses elements of dance, Pilates, cardio and endurance exercises, and promises an intense and effective full-body workout. New South Melbourne fitness boutique S3 Studios claims to offer the only barre class in the world designed by a physiotherapist, Joshua Erwin Norris-Ongso. He has 15 years’ experience in sports and wellness industries, and works as a dancer and gymnast.
The pay-off You can choose how hard you want to work – it’s fun and gives all the muscle groups a thorough going over. The pain factor After class one woman says “even standing here just now, my butt’s shaking”. I definitely
relate, and wake the next morning with a few new aches and pains, but nothing that wouldn’t go away after repeat sessions.
The bill A single 50-minute class costs $25.

empathy for others is a key part of the curriculum, writes melissa heagney

ustralia’s first saint, Mary MacKillop, said: “People should never see a need and do nothing to help”. She was definitely a woman of her word. Given the number of children without an education living in rural Australia at the time, St Mary of the Cross MacKillop (as she is now known) helped establish schools and worked with the poor and disenfranchised, teaching them mathematics and how to read. Her philosophy to help those in need has been adopted by schools across Melbourne. In fact, giving back to the community has a long history at Melbourne schools which, like St Mary, are inspired by their community and religious beliefs. Students and teachers often offer a helping hand through volunteering or fund-raising for charities. Over the years, social justice has become a mainstay of the curriculum of Melbourne schools and a way for students to learn and inspire others outside of the classroom. Catholic Education Melbourne executive director Stephen Elder says the philosophy behind social justice in schools takes inspiration from the life of Jesus and his work with the poor and marginalised. “His philosophy was to feed the hungry, love God and love your neighbour – to love everybody ‘as I have loved you’,” Stephen says. “[The] teaching really centres around what Jesus has inspired us to do.” He says, in modern times, Pope Francis has continued to inspire the Catholic and wider community, including schools, to be of assistance and “get their hands dirty” helping those in need. “Catholic schools in and around Melbourne and Geelong have adopted several approaches and programs to making social justice and service to the community part of the curriculum,” Stephen says. “In some schools, students visit elderly citizens’ homes, engaging with and learning from community elders. They also share skills, such as teaching residents how to email family members. “When students truly engage, they are often surprised at how much they love this kind of work,” Stephen says. Secondary schools also embark on outward-facing social justice projects
Schools with a social conscience overseas, where students work directly with local communities to build social capital or work in orphanages. It’s all part of providing an insight into the benefits of giving up your time to help others. “We hope the joy of giving gets into our students’ DNA and inspires them, and others, to value social justice activities as young adults,” he says. At Xavier College, the Social Justice Network extends to parents of students. The program was inspired by the students’ work
in social justice programs across Melbourne and the world. Xavier, and other schools, including Siena College and Haileybury, see their work as an opportunity to make a difference in the world. Siena College principal Gaynor Robson-Garth says students are able to enhance their global perspectives. “For all at Siena College, social justice is about making a difference in the world, through compassion and service to others,” she says.
“We help our students to critically examine the world and not be complacent.” Haileybury marketing director Sarah Bryant says there are multiple benefits. “For students it creates awareness of their community, as well as their own self-worth,” she says. “We all benefit from living in a just society – one that supports the law and human rights, where each individual is valued as an equal member of that society.” ●

Cause I can Dollars for those in need
E
ach year, Melbourne schools help to raise millions of dollars for those in need, locally and internationally. Fund-raising is a large part of schools’ social justice programs. Money raised goes to causes that include cancer awareness and research charities, The Salvation Army, World Vision, Caritas and even other schools in Australia and overseas. While many fund-raisers are one-offs, some school programs have a long history. This includes the Maytime Fair that Xavier College, a Catholic Jesuit school, has held annually for 64 years. The school has raised millions of dollars for the Jesuit mission, which helps refugees, students and communities in developing
countries, including East Timor and India, as well as other Asian and African nations. Projects include improving the educational outcomes for students in these countries, offering pastoral care and advocacy for refugees, as well as medical care and social services. St Monica’s College also has a long-running fund-raiser. For more than 30 years staff have helped to raise money for the Presentation Sisters in Pakistan. The sisters run convent schools across Pakistan that provide education for poor children. Money raised by St Monica’s has helped villages in the southern Sindh region of Pakistan, especially after a 2006 flood ravaged the area. Money was also used to buy a solar water purifier for the Francis Nagar village in the same region, ensuring residents have access to clean drinking water.
Kilvington Grammar School is a Baptist school whose houses each have a nominated charity to raise money for. Every term, one of the houses – Fysh, Barrett, Fethers and Burman – runs a series of fund-raising programs. Local charities, including CanTeen and Very Special Kids, benefit from the students’ generosity. Kilvington is also involved in Operation Christmas Child run by Samaritan’s Purse. It is an annual program in which children raise money and donate toys for other children overseas. Haileybury has also taken part in this program, sending more than 500 shoeboxes of toys to children in need in the past six years. Haileybury marketing director Sarah Bryant says the school donates useful gifts to children overseas, some of whom might never have been given a gift before.

“The boxes are sent to needy children in South-East Asia, the Pacific and Papua New Guinea,” Sarah says. Haileybury students also support The School of St Jude in Tanzania. Senior students from Castlefield House raise money for projects at the school. “The School of St Jude provides free, quality education to some of Tanzania’s poorest children,” Sarah says. “Every year, the boys fund one teacher and two students to attend and work at the school. Each year they can raise between $2000 to
$3000 and in 2016 they have set their target at $5000.” This type of fund-raising gives students the chance to see how they are changing the lives of children overseas. “The Castlefield boys receive letters from the students that they support, which take pride of place within the House Room,” Sarah says. “The boys were also able to watch online as the first batch of year 12 students graduated in 2015 – it was a very special moment.” ● melissa.heagney@theweeklyreview.com.au

“While they’re not raising money, what they are doing, in terms of service, is giving these people the voice that they do not usually have.” While students at Siena College in Camberwell volunteer their time, teachers, principals and parents at the school are also involved in volunteering. Staff are regular volunteers at the St Vinnies’ soup kitchen each weekend. Principal Gaynor Robson-Garth says it’s a great way for educators at the school to lead by example. “For more than a year, staff have been volunteering at the St Vinnies soup van on Sunday evenings,” Gaynor says. “Over 20 staff are permanent volunteers on the roster, with others on a wait-list to join. “Through [teachers] sharing their experiences, students have now requested to help too, with the younger students (aged 14-17) doing food preparation and those over 18 being able to actually assist with distribution.
THE EXPERIENCE IS (SUPPLIED)
O
ne of the strongest philosophies behind social justice in schools is, undoubtedly, volunteering. Many schools have adopted programs that allow students to volunteer time to charities and educational projects in their local communities and across Melbourne. Not only do people in need benefit, it allows students to learn from their experiences. St Monica’s College in Epping encourages students to visit the Exodus Community in the Olympic Village, West Heidelberg, not too far from the school. St Monica’s social justice co-ordinator, Fadi Elbarbar, says year 12 students visit this area to meet the people who live in the Olympic Village. It’s one of the poorest areas in the state. “They walk the streets with these people, learn about the area and how inherent poverty affects them and their families,” Fadi says. “They then sit down and discuss what they saw and how they feel.

“Not only are current staff and students involved, but past students have continued to volunteer to help,” she says. Siena’s students also volunteer internationally. Year 11 students experience life at the Kopanang Community Trust in South Africa, which brings together women in need to teach them life skills and also cares for orphans. Students live and work in the community for a fortnight. “The experience is a life-changing one for those who participate and it has a profound impact on how they see and
understand poverty and the lives of those less fortunate than themselves,” Gaynor says. Through volunteering, Xavier College students learn about the school’s Jesuit philosophy of social justice and giving back to those in need. Students are required to volunteer at least 150 hours in their senior years through programs that include teaching English to newly arrived Australians. Parents and ex-students (more than 450) are also involved through Xavier’s Social Justice Network, working locally and overseas on social justice projects.
Among its many programs, Xavier students volunteer through Rotary Gardening, an initiative in which students don gardening gloves to help those in need. They also offer their time to St Catherine’s Nursing Home and by teaching English to students who have migrated from countries where English is not their first language. Other schools, including Sacre Coeur and Loreto Toorak, are also involved in this “Friday Night School” in Richmond. Xavier College students also volunteer on Thursday afternoons after school at Yooralla Balwyn, taking part in the art circle program.
Students assist groups at the school with their works of art. At Kilvington Grammar School in Ormond students from year 7 to senior years take part in voluntary work. Year 9s work with a charity called Helping Hands, which makes prosthetic hands for people in countries including Afghanistan and Cambodia. Students also volunteer for a term at a community-based charity or organisation. Community volunteer work is also done by students at Academy of Mary Immaculate. They work with organisations, including the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, McAuley Community Services for Women and Mercy Aged Care facilities, which are near the school’s Fitzroy campus. The school’s social justice co-ordinator Sue Moran says much of the volunteering is student driven. “Students are moved by the experiences of others and are highly motivated to make a difference,” she says. “Working together to create meaningful outcomes for others is an enriching experience and one that teenagers relish as individuals and as an experience to unite them as a community. “As teachers, we are inspired to deepen their experiences with the many and varied experiences that are available to the education community.” ● melissa.heagney@theweeklyreview.com.au

There are buttons everywhere; dash, doors, console, below and behind the steering wheel and on the steering wheel; there’s a control wheel on the console and there are menu systems both in the instrument cluster and the centre screen, which looks like an iPad glued to the dash. Pay attention: it’s not all straightforward. Budget a good slice of time to learn how to operate the most perplexing cruise control. The electronic park brake takes some finding. Get used to things, however, and the GLC is a nice way to travel, with plenty of usable power. The cabin is beautifully finished, the seating comfy and supportive.

Autonomous braking with pedestrian identification, adaptive cruise, lane departure and blind spot warnings. This is a city SUV. It’s on 20-inch low-profile run-flat tyres so the ride can get quite harsh, especially out of town. And there’s no spare. While it handles nicely, it doesn’t come close to Range Rover’s Evoque. But it’s quiet and relaxed and there’s a tonne of torque on hand and no significant evidence of turbo lag, which along with silky nine-speed auto, makes this a very smooth operator. And the audio is a cut above. It’s also sharply priced, from $71k. Given the equipment levels, this most-expensive GLC is very good value against its major competitors. ●

Melburnians are embracing the New York way of life
I
t’s something New Yorkers have known for years – the benefits of living in a luxury apartment close to everything they need. Somewhere to eat? Just walk down the street. A sneaky after-dinner cocktail? Well, it’s close by too. Looking after a garden? As Donnie Brasco would say, “Fugeddaboutit” – there’s no need. Apartments are just that low-maintenance. Melburnians are now realising that luxury apartment buildings offer a glamorous lifestyle in a great part of town with everything at their fingertips. One of the newest and most luxurious is Capitol Grand – a two-tower development in one of Melbourne’s most coveted addresses at the corner of Chapel Street and Toorak Road in South Yarra. Capitol Grand’s developers LK Property Group says Melburnians are embracing the idea of apartment living to be closer to work, parks, public transport and entertainment precincts. The company’s CEO Larry Kestelman says it’s also because apartment buildings, including Capitol Grand, have amenities such as pools, gyms, restaurants and shopping on hand. Plus, there is the value of living in a low-maintenance building. Larry says LK Property Group looked at what was happening in major cities such as New York when deciding on the look (and lifestyle) of its two-tower, 50-storey building. It has what is sure to become a landmark design from architect Bates Smart and will be the tallest building in South Yarra. In fact, none taller can be built in the area. “We looked at a lot of buildings, and not just apartment buildings, in London, Paris, Shanghai, Hong Kong – in fact, nearly all the major metropolises around the world. “We’ve particularly looked at the iconic London building, 30 St Mary Axe, more

commonly known as the Gherkin,” Larry says. “Our particular interest stemmed from the fact that it is recognised around the world as an iconic statement of architecture, so we explored its design to inform our own decision-making.” London may have inspired the design, but it was New York that inspired the lifestyle. “One of the central ambitions for designing Capitol Grand was to introduce New York-style luxury apartment living to Melbourne,” Larry says. It’s something, he says, Melburnians in particular are looking for. “We have buyers from mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, Malaysia and Indonesia but the majority of purchasers are Melburnians,” Larry says. While they are enjoying the New York lifestyle, Melburnians definitely don’t have to pay as much for apartments. Median apartment prices in New York sit at $A1.5 million while Melbourne’s median is about $525,000. At Capitol Grand, buyers can snap up an apartment from about $600,000 giving them access to a luxury lifestyle and a South Yarra location. They’ll have access to five food and beverage outlets in the building’s retail precinct and a 24-hour concierge service. “Like the best Manhattan concierges, they will be there to let residents forget about many of life’s small tasks so they can take full advantage of the amazing lifestyle that is on offer in the immediate surrounds. “Getting the car washed, dry-cleaning done, restaurant reservations made and taxis called – these are just some of the services that will be instantly and constantly available to all residents,” Larry says. ● MELISSA HEAGNEY melissa.heagney@theweeklyreview.com.au

(MARTINA GEMMOLA)
GROUPING
Establish the position for the main seating (usually sofa), leaving space at each end for side tables and lamps, creating a grouping, a new light source and breaking up the open void of the room.
S E AT I N G
Next, decide what to use for support seating. A smaller sofa, pair of chairs, ottomans? Be sure not to line up furniture but rather offset the pieces so that they have their own separate place but are still grouped.
FOCAL POINT
Be generous with the dimensions of a coffee table. It is the centrepiece of the setting and will be the layer that enables you to bring height (via accessories) into the centre of the room. Keep it within touch with your soft furniture, but allow space of at least 600 millimetres.
SCALE
Avoid using small furniture in small rooms. This will only emphasise the limited space you have. Use at least one large piece – perhaps a sofa with side tables and lamps that span a whole wall. A set of pictures hanging above, and spanning almost the length of the sofa, will create a feeling of grandeur. ● mtay@theweeklyreview.com.au » momu.com.au

e know everything looks lighter and lovelier when it’s sunny, so a dreary midwinter’s day provides a good test of how liveable a house is year round. It’s easy to imagine this Mediterranean-inspired, two-storey townhouse with terracotta half-pipe roof in summer, its french doors thrown open to the paved courtyards on the south side. In the heat of the day, there’s shade for the barbie and outdoor table. Evenings would be spent on the west-facing first-floor terrace, watching cruise ships and sunsets on Port Phillip Bay, feeling the sea breeze kick in, and enjoying the privacy that comes with being one of just three properties in a micro cul de sac that’s 300 metres from the foreshore. But even in winter, that terracotta-tiled terrace beckons. This outdoor room is under the roofline, with hip-height rendered walls and clear bistro blinds to protect the openings on three sides. You could imagine upgrading it with outdoor heaters and bifold cafe windows. Inside, the house has an inviting warmth no matter the weather, thanks to a gas log fire in the formal living area, split-system heating/air-conditioning, electric panel heaters, in-floor heating in the main bedroom’s newly renovated en suite, double-glazing and Hebel brick construction, acknowledged as having superior thermal benefits. The property, once part of the vast estate of c1872 historic mansion Blair Athol, faces the railway line that continues to Brighton Beach station a short sprint away. It meets the street with a double garage on the right and a pedestrian entry that comprises a solid gate leading to a sunny courtyard and secure porch. The 2001 design by bayside firm JDA Architects places living rooms to the south, as the north side abuts a Were Street neighbour. The glass-roofed porch acts as a lightwell for the main bedroom and is an impressive introduction to the house’s oak-panelled double doors. Inside, the hallway separates the main bedroom zone on the left from the open-plan formal living/dining area on the right, and from the stairs, powder room and laundry ahead. The far end of the ground floor contains the kitchen and family room, which are divided only by a stone workbench that doubles as a breakfast bar. The living areas harness natural light and connect to the outdoors courtesy of tall windows interspersed with four sets of cedar-framed french doors. They face a private, sheltered courtyard that is divided by a neighbouring fenceline; one half extends from the family room and the other half belongs more to the formal zone. In the far corner of the irregular 362-square-metre site, past a water feature, a triangle of paved land is walled off to create a hidden corner for clothes drying, storage and potting. There are three bedrooms upstairs (or two plus a large study) and two bathrooms. One bathroom has a shower over a new free-standing tub and the other has a shower over a Japanese onsen-style tiled bath. There’s also an open-plan TV area or kids’ retreat that has french doors to the terrace. ● JACQUI HAMMERTON property@theweeklyreview.com.au

The garage door and ground-level facade are crafted from Victorian ash. Most social spaces have smoked oak floorboards, and a curved timber wall introduces the open-plan hub. The interior begins with an open study and a laundry with a door to the garage. One of the options for the main bedroom is adjacent, with a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite. Kitchen, dining and living areas bask in light bouncing from pale surfaces. Marble benchtops, pristine Bosch appliances and a walk-in pantry should inspire home chefs. Two sets of glass doors unite the living area with a stone-paved wraparound terrace, which has a built-in barbecue and seating. A retreat buffers the second choice of main bedroom from children’s bedrooms on the second storey. While this main suite has a five-star en suite, the main bathroom is equally luxurious with an elliptical bath. ● KAY KEIGHERY

Auction \ July 17 at 11.30am
With a picket fence, manicured hedges and red roses, this spectacularly updated Edwardian near Caulfield Park is picture perfect. Leadlight adorns the front door, with a fretwork arch spanning the entrance beyond and gleaming floorboards throughout. Two large bedrooms have ornate fireplaces and the main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. Another impressive mantel fireplace is in the large formal lounge. The laundry is separate from the expansive, open-plan living and dining areas. A stunning horseshoe-shaped stone kitchen has two wall-mounted ovens. There’s a dishwasher here, and another in the big butler’s pantry. Stacker doors lead to a deck with a built-in barbecue. Two upstairs bedrooms with built-in wardrobes share a stunning bathroom with silver claw-foot tub. The north-west-facing backyard has a lap pool alongside a strip of lawn, a shed, and space to park one car. There’s room on the front drive for another vehicle. ● STEPHEN A. RUSSELL

ALBERT PARK \ 22 GREIG STREET With its gracious rooms, period features and glorious natural light, Glenrowan is real estate gold. On the western side of the street, the Hawthorn brick Victorian is just moments from St Vincent Place. A landscaped garden with neat hedging and silver birches makes a picture-perfect introduction. The floor plan follows the traditional Victorian design of formal rooms and bedrooms opening off a central hall. The front formal living room is a beauty; a bay window with a window seat lends a sense of cosiness, as do the library shelves flanking an original fireplace. Further down the hall are three bedrooms with abundant storage. Two small courtyards on either side of the boundary give two of the bedrooms ample natural light and present opportunity for an inspired garden. Stairs lead to an underground theatre room and impressive wine cellar. A car stacker provides secure underground parking for two cars. Skirting boards, cornices and architraves in the open-plan kitchen, dining and living room are empathetic to the original architecture. Although this area is spacious enough to accommodate large gatherings of people, it still has a sense of warmth and intimacy. Out the back is a courtyard with sandstone tiles and integrated barbecue facilities. Border planting makes this a pretty spot to dine al fresco. ● FRANCESCA CARTER

38 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ JULY 13, 2016
BEAUMARIS \ 7 HILTON LLTON STREET Sitting on the high side of Hilton Street, this stylish family house lives up to Beaumaris’ reputation for making the most of the outdoor lifestyle. Close to the suburb’s vibrant shops, cafes, beach and the sandbelt’s world-class golf courses, the property would suit an active family. The street is slowly being rebuilt from postwar, single-level dwellings to grander edifices, but this house has successfully bridged the gap between the two. It has been updated inside and out to suit contemporary expectations; the most recent renovation was three years ago. The ground floor is given over to living areas and the main bedroom. The sleek kitchen in the open-plan living area has European appliances and plenty of cabinetry, including a butler’s pantry. A formal lounge adds another option for entertaining. The main bedroom has street views, and the renovations tweaked its layout to add a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. The upper level houses two bedrooms which share a connecting bathroom and a balcony. There is plenty of storage space up here, and banks of windows keep every room bright. Outside, an undercover dining area overlooks the north-facing terraced backyard and pool. Extensive decking keeps it all low maintenance, and a built-in barbecue adds to the amenity. ● JAN FISHER
