Cover: Head of Junior School, Mark Warwick, and Year 6 students Noah, Amelie and Harriet discuss their work presented at the Year 6 Exhibition. This exhibition is a culmination of the students’ learning during their time in the Junior School, through the Australian curriculum and the structured International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program. Year 6 students develop their own ‘big question’ with guidance from their teachers and mentors, and spend dedicated time using primary research methods of collecting data such as speaking with experts or conducting surveys. The students become confident learners and experts in their chosen research area, and comfortably articulate their knowledge to teachers, parents and visitors at the Exhibition.

Well done to all our Year 6 students as they embark on their Middle School learning.

F R O M T HE HE A D M A S T ER Mr Adam Heath

My primary goal as a young environmental education teacher was to engage every student. This was relatively straightforward as the School was much like Ballarat Grammar with terrific students who were really motivated and engaged. All was going swimmingly until Meg, a Year 9 student, wandered into my class. Meg was lovely but stated openly that she was not interested in any Science and ‘hated’ my subject, with perfected adolescent angst, from the first lesson. What a great challenge, I told myself, as I worked through the different areas of Science to find a glimmer of interest from Meg. In an era before mobile phones, she stared out the window, passed notes, scribbled distractedly, doing anything but the work that she was meant to and resisting any and every attempt to capture her interest.

BOOMAL ACK A | 3

After a month of failed efforts to engage Meg, I was beginning to despair. By coincidence, Meg had selected sailing as her sport. I was the coach. We were cleaning the boats one afternoon and Meg was responsible for the rescue boat. She reached into one of the storage compartments in the boat and thought she was pulling out a piece of rubbish. However, the rubbish turned out to be a desiccated frog that had obviously perished after getting stuck in the boat. I awaited the predictable screaming, hysteria and outrage from Meg, followed by her announcement that she now not only hated Science but detested it, and me, for making her pick up a dead frog. Instead Meg squealed with delight, “I love frogs’, she exclaimed, ‘they are the coolest animals in the world’. She added, ‘I wanted a pet frog but my parents wouldn’t let me’. I could not have been more shocked; in one moment Meg was not disgusted by the dead frog and had revealed her love of Science. Our environmental studies course, miraculously, coincidentally even, developed a unit on Frogs and Meg was hooked.

Belonging must come first in schools.

Students must feel that they are accepted by their House and School Community and that they can be themselves. Once students feel that they belong, then, ideally, the development of a passion, a ‘thing’ that

they love doing, should follow. For some, this involves a sport, for others it is drama or music, and others again are fascinated by the logic of an algebraic equation. Schools, good schools, must commit to providing an extraordinary range of activities to capture every child’s ‘thing’.

Great schools have teachers who are evangelical ambassadors for their subject areas and who share their other passions for sport, the arts, politics or all manner of things with their students.

Students are then inspired.

I am not sure that I was inspiring but I loved mentoring a Year 8 student earlier this year who was fascinated by hermit crabs. As part of her Year 8 elective she decided to produce a website and brochure to ensure that new owners of these exotic pets had all of the correct information for the hermit crab to flourish. This student’s passion had taken her learning far beyond the essential knowledge and skills required for a subject.

She had been required to communicate diplomatically with pet shop owners and research her facts fastidiously for her brochure, determining which sources of information were accurate. The project required her to think entrepreneurially to show pet-shop owners that her brochure provided a value-add to the hermit crabs and

terrariums that they were trying to sell. In short, this student’s passion had led her to learning competencies that would prepare her for the opportunities of an exciting but ever changing future.

Once found, we know that students will dedicate endless hours to their passion.

Many of us have had budding musicians in our households who dedicated infinite hours of practice to a piece of music that we may have loved previously but that now, somehow, will never sound quite the same! With the expert guidance of skilled teachers, which we are fortunate to have, these efforts are honed into new found skills and attributes, leading to success and inevitable satisfaction. This success leads to further effort and so the cycle repeats.

Once found in one area, students frequently look to replicate the ‘cycle of success’ in other areas of their lives; passion, effort, learning and succeeding. Passion is the ultimate motivator for overcoming setbacks; so determined are you to succeed that you automatically pick yourself up and dust yourself off. The role of schools, then, is to find students’ passions and introduce them to an associated cycle of success.

In so doing we build curiosity, motivation, determination and a drive for continuous learning for life.

EMPOWERMENT INSPIRES LEARNING Hannah Wise, Chair of Faculty - Humanities Rachael Williams, Year 9 Learning Leader More and more, we are giving our students learning experiences that build learner ‘agency’, “a sense that it’s possible to reshape the way things are by directing one’s actions purposefully (Tishman & Clapp, 2017, p.58)”.

As the OECD position paper, The Future of Education and Skills – Education 2030 states, student agency, “implies a sense of responsibility to participate in the world and, in so doing, to influence people, events and circumstances for the better.”

A great example of this was a project in Year 7 Humanities called Hidden Histories: “How has immigration changed the face of Australia?” In our Middle School, Grammar students are more and more engaged through Project Based Learning (PBL), a method of teaching in which students learn by actively engaging in real-world and personally meaningful projects, supported by explicit teaching on process.

BOOMAL ACK A | 5

THE YEAR 7 PROJECT INVOLVED: 1. I nterviewing a chosen person to create a narrative of their immigration story 2. E xplicit instruction on how to conduct an interview and putting together good interview questions.

3. E xplaining evidence required explicit teaching on the different types of historical sources and how to analyse them (e.g. artefacts/evidence).

4. Teaching students to find both qualitative and quantitative data to understand ‘place’ – which is generally important in helping to give balanced evidence.

Students were able to interpret reasons for migration in terms of push and pull factors. istorical inquiry instruction to help 5. H students provide context to their person’s story in relation to what was occurring in the country they left, and in Australia, at the time they migrated.

At various stages, students collaborated on elements of the historical and geographical research. Explicit instruction was used,

interspersed with individual research, drafting, re-drafting and opportunities for feedback from peers and the teacher. The project also included an interdisciplinary element whereby the students were working on their final presentation of a digital interactive presentation created using the platform Microsoft Sway in their Digital Technologies class.

From this experience, it is obvious that our students relished the opportunity to choose elements of their project and taking ownership of their work has seen the quality of learning improve greatly. The feedback process has been wholeheartedly embraced, and the more flexible style of learning also allowed differentiation for a range of student levels.

Families and interviewees were invited to view the digital presentations at the end of term Presentation of Learning evening.

There was much positive feedback from parents, glowing about the learning that had been achieved from the project. The project raised many interesting discussions at home and the public nature of the presentation required the students to interact with a wide variety of people. Some parents could not believe the volume of work that was produced by the students and, also, they enjoyed the opportunity to see other students’ work, not just that of their own child.

“ I found it interesting because I learnt a lot about my ancestors that I didn’t know, and I got to interview them and find out more. I had to research what country they were from, find out how much family they had that they didn’t know about, and find out all the stuff about World War II because it was around that date [that they migrated to Australia]” Olivia Simone, Year 7

THE YEAR 9 PROJECT INVOLVED: A second example of students’ feeling more agency or empowerment in their learning took place in Year 9, with the teaching team offering students a learning experience that was truly relevant to their lives as teenagers.

The students identified sleep, stress, social media and mental health as the issues of greatest concern to teenagers.

Students began by finding out as much as they could about how their selected issue affects teenagers. They read news articles, listened to podcasts and examined scholarly journals. We taught them how to review complex texts and, with careful support and guidance, showed them what a real literature review looks like. Students were encouraged to look for gaps or surprises in the research.

What was unusual and worth investigating further? We spent time developing student understanding of what makes a good research question.

Our year 7 students proudly and confidently showed their learning to visiting parents and friends at the Presentation of Learning evening.

At the end of the first two weeks, every student had developed specific knowledge about their selected issue. Interestingly, students who sometimes found it difficult

6 | BOOMAL ACK A

EMPOWERMENT INSPIRES LEARNING One student declared that ‘anything is possible’ and another wrote ‘I am capable of creating real solutions that might be used in the community’. to contribute were able to confidently share their discoveries and carefully crafted research questions with peers.

In order to answer students’ research questions, we spent time building skills and understanding of ethical and effective research methodology and helping them to analyse results. Students sifted through their data and produced infographics to share their findings. They interviewed experts in their chosen fields, such as neurosurgeons and psychologists.

To ensure students were able to take action in response to the issues they had explored, the School engaged in a collaborative

partnership with Crazy Ideas College (www.crazyideascollege.com.au).

The students were asked to consider the real problems they had uncovered in relation to their selected issue and to create viable real-world solutions.

Students developed and tested prototypes and, with coaching and support, prepared their pitches. At the final event, students pitched their ‘crazy good’ ideas to stakeholders within the community who work with teens experiencing such issues every day. For example, students presenting solutions in relation to stress pitched to Headspace and others pitched ideas to

various local professionals, sharing gems like the ‘Back-pocket Mum’ app that utilises mobile technology to help teens navigate tricky peer pressure situations.

Students’ feedback clearly indicated that they had changed their perceptions about their power to solve real world problems. In a final reflection, one student declared that ‘anything is possible’ and another wrote ‘I am capable of creating real solutions that might be used in the community’.

TEACHERS AS LEARNERS PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PROGRAM Religion, Philosophy and Ethics Faculty and the Centre for Early Education

Ballarat Grammar’s staff professional growth has always been a high priority. Our academic staff are engaged in continuously developing their own teaching practice, as much as our students are engaged in their learning.

Research tells us that professional development which involves active collaboration is central to effective continuous professional learning for teachers.

The most effective forms are: + Peer observation and feedback + Coaching and mentoring + Team teaching and joint research projects. These forms of active

collaboration allow teachers to learn from each other and have a positive impact on students.

(Gonski 2.0 Recommendation 13) With some changes to the School’s Professional Growth Program (PGP) in 2019, all education staff have been involved in a specific interest project which focuses on particular educational opportunities in each area of the school.

The PGP aims to be a dynamic and collaborative program which supports the professional growth of each teacher so that they can provide our students with a range of rich learning opportunities, ultimately contributing to improved learning.

Following are two examples of many projects across the School which are aiming to improve engagement and learning outcomes for our students.

PRACTICAL LITERACY IMPROVING COMMUNICATION OF COMPLEX IDEAS Religion, Philosophy and Ethics Faculty

The members of the Religion, Philosophy and Ethics (RP&E) Faculty were looking to explicitly teach students the specific writing skills needed for this subject: a challenging task when students have the subject just once or twice a week. Assessments in Year 10 (VCE Religion & Society - Unit 2) require specific language and the tasks involve both short-answer and extended responses to demonstrate students’ critical thinking. Students are to use the language of the course, adequately answer questions for full marks, expand without repeating, utilise clear sequencing and of course, present their critical thinking.

Explicit instruction and literacy improvements With the help of English faculty member Mr John Lee, staff explored the key concepts presented in ‘The Writing Revolution - A Guide to Advancing Thinking Through Writing in All Subjects and Grades’ (Hochman and Wexler, 2017). The strategies outlined include explicit instruction in writing and demonstrating how to use sentences well, but also the relatively simple process of embedding literacy in the context of the curriculum.

Members of our Unit 3 and 4 Religion & Society class represented the School at the Biennial Victorian Anglican Schools’ Service at St Paul’s Cathedral in Melbourne in August. Our RP&E staff have found our senior students are even more prepared for their studies and able to communicate complex ideas in this subject as a result of developing key literacy skills specifically for the Religion & Society curriculum.

Inspired by these new strategies, Unit booklets were created for Year 10 RP&E, providing simple tasks to explore the language of the curriculum and develop key literacy skills. Each task supports students to use language the way the subject requires them to write, and through their writing we can see immediately whether they have grasped key concepts.

Steps to greatness Teachers have already observed an improvement in the way students can articulate their understanding – especially in turning simple thoughts into complex ideas. Students are able to explain their position succinctly, but with complexity. Promisingly, students who were previously reluctant to share their responses are now far more likely to do so in class, aided by the literacy aids. The Faculty team members are excited to see where these literacy improvements can take our students in RP&E, and beyond!

Our youngest learners are regularly engaged in STEM learning.

ARE YOUNG CHILDREN (6 MONTHS – 5 YEARS) CAPABLE OF STEM LEARNING? CEEd educators Naomi Ivey, Monique Forrest, Victoria Stewart and Laura Becker

+ In the first few years of life, more than 1 million new neural connections are formed every second (Centre on the Developing Child, Harvard, 2009); + 80% of brain development occurs before a child turns 3 – the fastest rate of brain development in their entire life (Nowakowski, 2006); + Between the ages of 3 - 5, children’s brains are primed to learn the skills that are the foundations of critical thinking and emotional maturity (Shonkoff, 2000).

STEM is an approach to learning and development that integrates the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. As experts in early childhood education, our CEEd educators choosing this topic sought to investigate the current understanding and application of STEM learning within the context of early learning at the CEEd. We facilitated a staff survey, undertook a process of critical reflection of four of our CEEd programs (Doves, Turtles, Giraffes and Hippos), as well as a literature review.

As researchers alongside children, we also drew upon their perspectives, understandings and insights. When asked, as an assessment of their learning, ‘Why do we do experiments?’ some of our youngest learners very eloquently responded: + “To see if one sinks and one floats.”

Jonte 3.11 yrs. + So we can learn. Colour mixing, overflowing, float.” Milla 4 yrs. + “‘Cos’ it’s cool. ‘Cos’ you do cool stuff... the overflow one was the best one.”

Flynn 4.1 yrs. + “Because we just need to learn about stuff. Stuff like sinking and floating, colour mixing and overflow.” Lewie 4.3 yrs.

+ “So we know what to do. To know how to do things. Because we made things, and do things, and learn.” Frankie G 4.6 yrs. + “Because we don’t know all stuff, so we do experiments.” Edie 4.5 years + “Because we don’t always know something. So we do experiments to know what to do.” Georgie 4 yrs.

Young children are intrinsically drawn to, and highly capable of, play-based STEM learning, which is facilitated across all early learning years at the CEEd. STEM learning is integral to life, developing key dispositions and so-called 21st Century skills such as problem-solving, creative and critical thinking, inquiry, experimentation, researching and investigating.

Our CEEd educators are responsive and intentional in crafting play-based STEM experience in order to assist the children’s Character Strengths of Curiosity, Love of Learning, Bravery, Teamwork and Enthusiasm and progress towards the Learning Outcomes of our Early Years Framework.

Next steps are the creation of an ‘Educator STEM Toolkit’ to support educators in observing and documenting STEM learning, and making links to the Early Years Framework, Positive Psychology and Reggio Emilia approach.

“ MATTER NO WHAT LANGUAGE, A SMILE IS UNIVERSAL

”

Ten of our students attended the India RSIC 2019. Here are some of their thoughts: “ The trip was an experience of a lifetime.

I’m so glad I went and not just because of the delicious food, amazing sightseeing and eye opening markets but also because of the connections we as the Ballarat Grammar cohort made with the other schools from all around the world. We used our differences to create an everlasting bond. I felt extremely privileged to be a part of this trip.”

Tom McCarthy, Year 10

“ We are all very excited that Ballarat Grammar is hosting the Round Square Conference in 2020 as we see it as an amazing opportunity to be involved in, and make a difference in, our global community. One of the things that struck us all in India, was the friendliness of the students and their willingness to help and be involved in the whole program. This is an opportunity for all our families to participate in a Round Square Conference, so make sure you keep the first week of the September holidays free next year – put your hand up to billet some students so that you can make friends from around the world!”

VCE TOP ACHIEVERS 2018 Congratulations to our 2018 VCE top achievers awarded at the Premier’s VCE Awards in April.

Ag/Hort teacher Matt Dickinson, Lucy, Adam Heath, Sophie, Kimia and English teacher John Lee.

2018 School Captain Kimia Mohammadsaeedi was one of just 22 students awarded Top AllRound VCE High Achiever. This is the second time in three years that Ballarat Grammar has been successful in this award, following Jonathan Yates receiving the same award in 2017.

Kimia also received a VCE Top Achievers’ award for English, as did 2019 Year 12 student Sophie John, who completed Unit 3 and 4 English as a Year 11 student in 2018. We were also very pleased to congratulate Lucy Ford on receiving a VCE Top Achievers’ award for her top results in Agricultural and Horticultural Studies.

We are extremely proud of all our students, especially those who work so hard to achieve such great results. We are thrilled that these three students have been recognised for their hard work and dedication. We congratulate them and also their teachers, and all our staff on supporting our students to achieve such high standards, not just in their academic studies but in all aspects of their education at the School.

DEBATING

of themselves against the very best opposition in the State. Our Year 10 team had to argue against the motion that ‘children should not be allowed to attend protests.’

Our VCE team, meanwhile, competed against Melbourne High School, arguing against the idea that the government should legalise drugs. In a debate of exceptionally high quality, the adjudicator admitted that she found it extremely hard to separate the teams, such was the calibre of their arguments. To have two teams progress to the final 16 of the competition is a first for Ballarat Grammar, and these students should be extremely proud of their efforts.

Congratulations to you all.

ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD OLD GRAMMARIAN HERITAGE FOOTBALL MATCHES Senior Girls 6-11-47 defeated Loreto 5-10-40

Match Highlights: The Lionesses won the Senior Girls’ Football BAS Grand Final (Heritage Football Match) in a stunning extra time triumph on the Hill Oval at St Patrick’s College. The team managed to find an extra gear in the two five minute halves of extra time to pull off an exceptional victory in a ferocious contest that will be long remembered for its gut-wrenching drama and twists and turns right down to the final minute. Our girls put in a great week of preparation and were primed for the biggest game of the season after Lauren Butler (2018), last year’s captain and current AFLW player at Collingwood, spoke to the girls in the rooms about the value and meaning

of the jumper. We set ourselves for an opponent that had beaten us by 15 points on the same ground a month earlier, quietly confident that we could turn things around.

The game itself was tightly contested, characterised by bruising tackles, desperate smothers and a highly physical approach from both sides.

Best Players: Brook Thompson, Nyakoat Wuol, Alice Astbury, Tess Heath, Remy Lawless, Renee Saulitis and Chloe Stewart.

Goal Kickers: Renee Saulitis 2, Chloe Stewart 1, Victoria Jewell 1, Ella Friend 1 and Iman Shrive 1.

Congratulations to all Lionesses and coaches Tim Adams and Keitha Theodore.

Match Highlights: The one that got away!

Full credit to Ballarat High School as they adapted to the wet, slippery, muddy and heavier conditions quicker than we did and played hard, desperate football to hold on for the win. Prior to the game Old Grammarian Dr Tony Heinz presented the team with their playing jumpers and gave them a talk about what the traditional Ballarat Grammar jumper meant to Old Grammarians.

At the post-match function, which was kindly provided by the Old Grammarians’ Association, Josh Bibby was awarded the best-on-field medal. This was well received by the playing group as Josh has played consistently all season and capped the year off well with another strong performance.

Best Players: Josh Bibby, Liam Wood, Ollie Mahncke, Matt Jones, Ethan Appleton and Tom Nevinson.

Goal Kickers: Jack Cottrell 1, Ethan Appleton 1 and Josh Bibby 1 .

Well done to coach Brendon Peace and all the players, who went on to win the Herald Sun Cup Grand Final against Braemar College, 113 to 12. Best on Ground went to Nick Caris with 7 goals, and well done Liam Wood who kicked 3.

Brilliant effort boys!

DO YOU REMEMBER? MYSTERY SOLVED!

THE SECOND FLAG

Great news: The two Queen’s Flags as well as two Banners, one from Queen’s and the other from the Boys’ School have been found in safe storage in the Butler Archives! They were located in a box labelled “From the Sports Department”, beneath a mountain of Sports’ Pennants from the 1980s, awaiting cataloguing.

The Flags and Banners are very significant items of School history. They have now been carefully placed into storage after being on display in the John H.D. Roberts Museum for some weeks. Julianna Paci, our Textiles teacher, provided expert advice on the condition of these items and guidance on the way they should be stored and handled for display.

THE FIRST FLAG

This flag shows “Matilda Dixie’s Crest” the winged angel of learning with a book, a laurel wreath and the Southern Cross in the foreground, all enclosed in an oval shape by the motto she had chosen, Honores laborem sequuntur. Dixie had this Crest in use by January, 1877, for her new School, Queen’s College. The School’s colours were Red/Crimson and Gold. The flag, made when Misses Larritt and Hayhoe were the principals and proprietors of Queen’s College was designed by school parent Dr Lethbridge and embroidered by Mrs Lethbridge, Their daughter, Winifred Claridge (Lethbridge) was a student from the prize winners’ list in 1902.

Alison Middleton is Winifred’s daughter and Skye Laube, currently in Year 7, is Alison’s granddaughter. The Lethbridges were Alison’s grandparents and Skye’s great great grandparents.

Juliana was excited to see this pre-industrial revolution flag which she advised was made of coarse cotton, single hand spun probably on a table loom, with red hand embroidery on cream silk. Wooden toggles for flag pole use are still attached. It is in very fragile condition but is remarkably sound given its age.

Year 12 students Lachlan Warwick and Rachel Chenery were of great assistance to our school photographer, Steve McDonnell.

This flag from late 1918 is also in remarkably good condition for its age. When Queen’s College became “The School of the Mitre” in 1902, pale blue was added to the original red/ crimson and gold. This flag was presented to Misses Larritt and Hayhoe at the time of their retirement and immediately passed to the Bishop for the new Diocesan Ballarat Church of England Girls’ Grammar School.

The flag is made of machine-woven cotton with a black satin rectangle appliqued as a centrepiece. The mitre and scroll are beautifully hand-embroidered in gold silk thread on the satin; the motto is machine embroidered. The embroidery was the work of Miss Alice Tweedie, an Old Collegian. (See Met By Wendouree p 8, Mainly About Girls p83 and Mainly About Girls 1919 magazine, p5).

QUEEN’S CEGGS BANNER 1953

BALLARAT CHURCH OF ENGLAND GRAMMAR SCHOOL BANNER

This banner was made, probably in the 1940s,

by Mavis Hall (Heinz, 1938), It is crimson, blue and gold with a white central section, handpainted with the School name and crest. The side seams are open at bottom for insertion of dowel.

A Brown, Blue and Gold Banner, cotton blend fabric, machined with great care, with appliqued gold mitre on the central blue panel. The side seams are open at the bottom for insertion of dowels. Probable date of manufacture: 1950s or early 1960s.

Can any of our Boomalacka readers be more specific?

GIFTS TO GRAMMAR A TINY TREASURE

To Barbara and Colin Austerberry for the donation of two blazers worn by their son Simon (1983), thank you.

Grateful thanks to Alister Inglis (1980), for the gifts of a Junior School blazer, with white mitre embroidered on the pocket, and a grey school pullover worn by his brother John Inglis (1971) in the 1960s and Alister’s own dark brown blazer and tan pullover, worn in the 1970s.

A Collection including his Prefect’s cap, Church Chronicle articles and the Ballarat Courier spanning the years from 1950 to 1978, and photographs from 1959, with names (so helpful!), from D. F. (Harry) Hedger (1962).

We are most grateful to Mary Joliffe (nee Grills 1946), daughter of the late Molly Grills (Symons, 1929) for the gift of an extraordinary miniature Book of Common Prayer and Hymns Ancient and Modern, measuring, just 5.4cm X 4.4cm X 2.7cm, printed c1893. Molly was a student at Ballarat Church of England Girls’ Grammar School from about 1919 to about 1929. The front cover is embossed in gold with the figure of a lamb with cross and pennant and the words: Ecce Agnus Dei (Behold the Lamb of God). The note with the book, in Molly’s handwriting, reads, “This was my hymn book all thru my school days at Grammar. I can’t remember where I got it from, but it is very old.” In Molly’s time at the Girls’ School the use of ‘Grammar’ as the name of the School is of interest. Between 1903 and 1934 the name Queen’s had disappeared from the official title of the School. Grateful thanks to Alison Myers, mother of Luke (2003), Ben (2005), Rachel (2007) and Naomi (2010), Mary’s daughter, for facilitating this donation. (Archives note: Molly’s late sister, Isobel Pettifer (Symons, enrolled 1923), is grandmother of Marnie Pullin, current Editor of Boomalacka. Marnie is delighted to have a connection to this treasure.)

Malcolm Matthews (1966) The donation of his blazer with his School Prefect’s Pocket is appreciated.

Peter Chapman, David Lidgett, Doug Miller, Geoff Smith 1959

Distinguished composer and musician Dr Calvin Bowman (1989), pictured here as a schoolboy, has donated his blazer with Colours for Music displayed. Thank you, Calvin. Calvin is featured on the Wall of Fame in our Wendouree Centre for Performing Arts.

Calvin is a graduate of the University of Melbourne, and was the first Australian to graduate with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Yale University, with the assistance of a Fulbright Scholarship. He is a former Senior Lecturer in Composition and University Organist at the Australian National University. Calvin’s major focus as a composer is in the composition of artsong.

CAN YOU HELP?

Alistair Gray (1965) is hoping that someone reading Boomalacka has a copy of the recording made in 1959 by the School Choir, when the late David Clappison was School Captain. Alistair recalls that about 8 works were recorded, including For Unto Us, Arise! Shine! and the Hallelujah Chorus. Please contact the School Archivists if you can help. We can arrange to have the recording digitised and returned to you. Many of you will remember Alistair as School Captain in 1965.

2019 ANNUAL G I V I N G U P D AT E JOHN ROSS-PERRIER WAT E R S P O R T S C E N T R E With the support and generosity of the Ballarat Grammar community through the Annual Giving Program, the John-Ross Perrier Watersports Centre has had a mezzanine floor constructed to accommodate additional training equipment and facilities to support land-based training for our rowing crews. Whilst it is only early in the season, the benefits appear to be enormous and to see the rowers training upstairs with the windows open is something to be seen. Director of Rowing Sam Pullin said, “Now that the season is in full swing, it’s wonderful to see the space being utilised so wholeheartedly by our entire rowing community; rowers, coaches and parents alike.”

It was wonderful to have Jill Ross-Perrier, together with David (1954) and Ann Fawell, visit the redeveloped John Ross-Perrier Watersports Centre recently. The centre opened in 1998 and was named in honour of Jill’s late husband, John, affectionately known to all as “Rossy”.

John started at Ballarat Grammar in February, 1943 as a boarder, at the age

of seven. There were just 119 students of whom 67 were boarders. He boarded for 11 years! In 1953, John was School Captain. He occupied Bow seat in the first crew which won Head of the Lake in record time. In the same year, John was Captain of the Football Team and was awarded School Colours for Rowing, Football and Tennis. A man of wide interests and keen intellect, John spent his entire professional career with ASIO where he specialised in the work of the Russian Intelligence Services. He reached the position of Assistant Director of ASIO, in charge of counter-espionage.

John Ross- Perrier served on the Board of Directors of our School from 1988. In 1992, he became Chair of the Planning and Development Committee. He contributed with great skill, diplomacy and incisiveness until his untimely death on 21 October, 1997.

Strong supporters of the School and the Rowing Program, Jill, David and Ann enjoyed a tour of the redeveloped John Ross-Perrier Watersports Centre and shared stories and memories over a light lunch afterwards.

L-R David Fawell, Sam Pullin, Adam Heath, Jill Ross-Perrier, Ann Fawell.

SAVE THE DATE Rowing community: a celebration of our rich rowing history will be held on the evening of Saturday 22 February to launch the John Ross-Perrier Watersports Centre mezzanine. There will also be a great opportunity earlier that day to get the crew back together and jump in the boat for a paddle. Invitations will follow soon, so please make sure the school has your correct details or keep an eye on our Facebook page.

THE MANIFOLD CIRCLE Ballarat and Queen’s Anglican Grammar School has been developed and sustained by generations of philanthropic support.

Some individuals and families have established scholarships and prizes, whilst others have directed their gifts in a variety of other ways to benefit the School.

The Manifold Circle recognises and honours those who have left a bequest to the School and all those who have indicated their intention to leave a bequest in their wills.

These planned gifts are a meaningful and enduring way of supporting the future of Ballarat Grammar.

The Manifold Circle recognises the special significance of the many areas in which the Manifold Family provided crucial support during the early days of Anglican education in Ballarat to the two schools that amalgamated to form our School.

This included funding the construction of Manifold Hall for the Boys’ School, opened in 1924, (now our Chapel of St Mark), and the purchase of the property for the Girls’ School in 1918 where, the fine residence, Carn Brae, was thereafter to be called Manifold House. To honour the contribution made by the Manifold Family, Manifold was used as a House name from 1925 until 1972 at Queen’s, and it has continued here, since 1979.

It is a pleasure to advise that in 2019 four new generous and visionary members joined the Manifold Circle.

The Manifold Circle, working with the Ballarat Grammar Foundation and alongside the School Board, is focussed on strengthening the School into the future. To continue our traditions and to build the base for future achievements, we look to our community for significant support in this endeavour.

QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY HONOURS STEPHEN HIGGS OAM Congratulations to Stephen Higgs, Headmaster 1995 to 2015, who was this year honoured with the award of an Order of Australia Medal for his services to education.

In his 21 years at Grammar, Stephen built links across the city, the country, and internationally. Rightly, he is very proud of the links he forged. He is a Life Member of the International Round Square organisation, he established an exchange program with remote Indigenous communities, and welcomed refugee families to the School.

Stephen’s sense of obligation to the environment created a focus on sustainability here. With his leadership, solar panels and wind power were introduced on the campus as early as 2000, before it was accepted practice. Stephen and his wife, Sue, live these days “off the grid” on a small farm near She Oaks and drive a car powered by the sun.

Stephen initiated the establishment of Ballarat Grammar’s City Cite campus, which provides a taste of city life for students, and the School’s farm campus for agricultural and environmental learning, the Stephen and Sue Higgs Centre, at Mount Rowan, where Year 4 students are based.

He is now the Executive General Manager of the Ecumenical Schools Australia (formerly Victorian Ecumenical System of Schools), helping to lobby on behalf of independent schools.

Stephen believes that the most important thing you can do as a teacher, and as a leader, is to build trust.

OLD GRAMMARIAN AND COMMUNITY NEWS SPORTING SCHOLARSHIP ACHIEVEMENTS

FAREWELL, MATT HANLON Matt Hanlon departed Ballarat Grammar at the end of Term 1 with our very best wishes for a Hanlon family move to northern New South Wales. The following is an excerpt from a farewell speech made by friend and colleague, Hannah Wise.

“As a person of integrity Matt sets a high standard for himself in all he does and in turn wants students to see the best in themselves.

He thrives on building relationships and each of his roles at Grammar exemplify his ability to develop rapport with people in a short amount of time – being prepared to work hard to make something even better.

Michael Mullins (2016) has been ‘kicking goals’ on the soccer field since he finished Year 12 at Grammar in 2016. During his gap year (2017) Michael played for Ballarat City in the National Premier League 1, then started a Bachelor Degree in Science at Monash University in 2018. During the 2018/2019 season, he played for Kingston City in the National Premier League.

In 2019 Michael was recruited to play Division 1 NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) for St Joseph’s University Philadelphia on a four-year full scholarship. He will be studying International Business with a Japanese minor. In 2019, Michael also received an invitation to trial for La Legia for a position in their Under 23 team (Spanish Soccer League). Amazing effort, Michael, and all the best!

THANK YOU, BILL GRIBBLE

Old Grammarian (1971) and past parent Bill Gribble decided to bring his successful rowing coaching career at Grammar to an end at the close of the 2018/19 season. Over 21 seasons, Bill has coached 21 crews, with 13 of those Senior Girls’ First crews. He has coached these first girls’ crews to winning seven Division 1 Head of the Lake titles, three Division 1 Head of Schoolgirl titles, and a Gold, Silver and Bronze in the Division 1 Schoolgirls Four at the National Championships. Quite a record! We thank you, Bill, for all the dedication you have given to our Rowing program and our rowers over the past 21 years!

Coach Bill Gribble, pictured here with his 2018 Head of the Lake winning crew of (clockwise) Issey Conheady, Jess Mahoney, Cecelia Hearn, Sophie Reinher and Harriet Jones.

As Head of Wigan, Matt built a culture of living by action and treating people as you would like to be treated. His involvement in Round Square has given him the nickname “Matt from Ballarat”, such is his standing. His work on Service by our students has seen Ballarat Grammar as the launching pad for organisations like Eat Up and AAA Sports to get bigger and better than they could have dreamed. He does this to genuinely improve the lives of those around him through opportunity and action. The rocking School Dance, the freezing Kurt Hahn Sleep Out and the organisation of the International Women’s Day events are just some of his many other achievements. We also know that Matt is the ultimate feminist – and his work with the girl’s football team and his Manifold tute group exemplify this.

From teaching students how to shake hands ‘properly’, to empowering the Lauren Butlers and Rene Caris’ of the world to strive for their dreams on a national stage, Matt has influenced and inspired many, many students to be the very best they can be.”

40 YEARS OF “PERC” Ms Priscilla Herrington (aka “Perc”) has now been at the School for 40 years. Her legacy across so many areas of our school is respected by all; as an educator from PE and Sport, to establishing and leading the Heinz Centre, to the present day as our Futures Co-ordinator. A colleague and friend to many, Perc has done much to shape our school over the years.

We have much to thank her for and look forward to her ongoing contributions in Priscilla (Perc) with her Tutorial/Mentor the future.

DEATHS We record with sorrow and extend our sympathy to the families of those mentioned below.

John Ballantyne Vernon (1947) The School community mourns John’s passing on 26 June. He was a true gentleman with a generous disposition and an engaging and friendly manner. He was a loving and supportive husband and father, and a highly regarded and accomplished architect who carried out a number of important projects at the School, including the Memorial Dining Hall, opened in 1963, and the conversion of Manifold Hall to the second Chapel of St Mark in 1975. John was respected and well-liked.

John maintained a strong interest in the School. In recognition of this outstanding athlete, and Olympian, the “John Vernon Field” at the School was named in his honour and an annual award, The John Vernon Award for Athletics, is presented. The Valete entry in The Ballarat Grammarian December, 1948, for John reads as follows: Prefect, Aths., Colours, XI., Cpl. Our sincere sympathy is extended to John’s wife, Jenny, to their three sons, Peter (1979), Timothy (1981) and David (1985) and to all family members.

He is survived by his partner, Ruth, his siblings, Merrill Birse (1976) and Chris Bennett (1978), and his father, Max Bennett. He was deeply admired by all his family and friends and known for his musical talent and his happy disposition. Robert was a member of Butler House and of the Concert Band, Orchestra, Jazz Ensemble and Brass Ensemble; he played trumpet for the School’s production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat”.

Nicholas James Claxton Borley (1981) It is with much sadness that Nick’s brother, Alistair Borley (1979), and sister, Elizabeth Bennett (Borley, 1980) advise of Nick’s sudden and unexpected death on 23 July 2019. Nick was a commercial pilot and had been flying charter flights in/out of Queensland. He died of a heart attack on the evening of 23 July in Townsville. He was only 55 years old.

Nick was much loved by his family and many friends. He will be remembered for his adventurous spirit and dry humour. A Butler House boy, Nick captained the School’s Hockey team in 1981. Nick’s lifelong passion was flying. He used to say “my office is in the sky”. Nick is survived by his three children, Lachlan, Alexandra and Isabella.

Reverend Philip Linton Burgess (1948) passed away on 24 April. He was ordained as a priest at Camperdown in 1955; the School Choir assisted at the Service. He then took charge of the Parish of Willaura. Requiem Mass was celebrated at St Peter’s Anglican Church, Ocean Grove, followed by Burial at Queenscliff Cemetery. Readers will recall the significant connections of the Burgess family with our School over three generations reported on page 29 in the last issue of Boomalacka. As a student, Philip was a Probationer, rowed in the First Crew, was awarded Rowing Colours and was a Sergeant in the Cadet Corps.

She was the mother of Phillippa (1970) deceased, Ian (1971), and Jennifer (1974) and grandmother of Fiona Wheelock (1999) and James Wheelock (2003). She was a most gracious lady who gave enormous support to Wallace, to their family, and to the countless endeavours of the School of which they were a strong part.

Douglas K. Cowan (1947) passed away on 4 August. He was a loyal friend of the School and was a Probationer, a member of the Athletics team, and a Corporal in the Cadet Corps in his

final year. The School extends sympathy to Doug’s wife, Joan, his daughter, Jane CowanClark (1975) and grandsons James CowanClark (2006) and David Cowan Clark (2009).

Dennis Livitsanis, past staff member, passed away on 6 April. Dennis taught at Ballarat Grammar from 1996 to 2005, following a long teaching career with the Education Department. In his retirement he often spoke of his time at Ballarat Grammar and the admiration he had for the School and his colleagues. Dennis taught History, Geography, English and Latin; he was Years 7 and 8 Level Co-ordinator in 1999.

John Simpson (1953). John’s wife, Margaret has kindly notified the School that, sadly, John passed away on 20 January this year, aged 81. Margaret said that John always talked to the family about his days at Ballarat Grammar.

He was a member of the School’s First XVIII in 1952 and 1953.

Debra was the daughter of Patti (Watts, 1957) and David, sister of Dianne Carmichael (1985) and Loralie Knight (1988) deceased, and niece of Graham (1962) and Marg Watts. Her peers will remember Debra as a Macpherson House leader and a keen hockey player. She taught at the Drysdale campus of Christian College where she was a “Mother Theresa” leader of support for East Timor and particular for the school there in Viqueque, a school which Rob Gray and Grammar have supported, too.

He retired in 2015 as a Legend of the Victorian Bar. He is remembered, not only as a respected advocate, but as an accomplished sportsman”.

TREE PLANTINGS On 9 July 2019, a small group of 1971 Queen’s girls braved the Ballarat winter to plant a replacement Magnolia tree in honour of their friend, Pauline Batch (Bartholomeusz, 1971) The following is an extract from a short speech prepared by Janene Schillier (Bakes, 1971).

“Pauline was enrolled at Queen’s CEGGS, 1967 and her father was our “new” Chaplain. The Bartholomeusz family was originally from Sri Lanka. Pauline was a memorable personality.

It is easy to visualise her at that time in her

grey school uniform, smiling with openness and a unique charm. She was disciplined in every way; a good scholar and a talented pianist. If Pauline was on ‘hymn duty’, playing the morning hymns for assembly, we were always guaranteed accuracy, expression and absolute dexterity. She was School Co-Captain in 1971. Following Pauline’s unexpected death in 1999, we planted a Magnolia tree in the school grounds in memory of our dear classmate. It was a good choice, as is this replacement, representing her lovely characteristics of beauty, gentleness and strength.”

THREE GENERATIONS Another example of a “three generations” family. A meeting with Margaret Chenery (Blackmore, 1952). By Janene Schillier (Bakes, 1971) “Margaret and I met for coffee near Lake Wendouree on a cold winter’s day - like the Augusts we remember from school days.

Later, Margaret married Ron Chenery and they lived on their farm until retirement.

Ron and Margaret had two children; Debbie (1977) met her husband Terry Michael (1977) at Grammar and they have two children and seven grandchildren. Anthony’s (1979) two daughters attended Grammar. Tara finished in 2016 and Rachel completed Year 12 this year. Thus, three generations of Margaret’s family have been students of our School.

Margaret has always enjoyed giving to the community throughout her life and continues to do so.

Postscript: Sadly, Margaret’s husband, Ron, passed away on 7 September. Our sincere sympathy is extended to Margaret and all the family.

TWO YEAR REUNION On Friday 3 May 2019, approximately 80 past students and teachers gathered at the City Cite Campus for the 2 Year Reunion (Peer Year 2017). It was terrific to see so many from the year together again.

The evening was a great chance for past students and staff to reconnect, sharing plenty of wonderful stories about life postGrammar: university studies, work and Gap years. A big thank you goes to everyone who made the effort to travel to the reunion, making for a fantastic night.

GALA REUNION On Saturday 5 October, we held our annual Gala Reunion for Peer Year groups who finished or were due to finish school in the years 1979, 1989, 1999, and 2009. There were many laughs and stories about old times, a wonderful archives collection to view which highlighted items from those years and brought back great memories, as well as optional school tours, with many amazed to see first-hand how much had changed at Grammar. Thank you to all those who travelled for the reunion; the large attendance ensured a great night was had by all!
