What’s the most challenging thing you’ve ever done? For many people it’s probably having children! It may be starting a new job or ending a relationship. One extreme challenge is the granddaddy of reality TV: Survivor. For 21 years, it’s been no tropical escape, with contestants spending up to two months trying to outwit, outlast and outplay each other. (Yes, I’m a fan!) Jonathan LaPaglia oversees the local action, with the sixth season starting soon.

This week’s cover star, Jonathan talks about filming the show in Australia for the first time – and bringing him home at the right moment. ●

ART These French masterpieces

are now on show in Melbourne.

Wo r d s

JA N E R O C CA

One hundred French impressionist paintings by some of the art movement’s biggest names – Monet, Renoir and Degas – have arrived at the NGV. The collection, on loan from the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, includes 79 works that have never been seen before in Australia.

Here are NGV assistant curator Meg Slater’s top five must-sees – and why they’re important.

CIRCA 1890-1900

Frits Thaulow wasn’t central to the impressionist movement, but he did work and live in Paris for most of his career. He was friends with Claude Monet. You’ll find this work in the watery surface section at the NGV. The flickering, swirling and ever-changing nature of water was a real challenge for the impressionists, and with this, you’re taken into the water. It looks like Thaulow painted it in the water or from a precarious place on land. It demonstrates that at this point in art history, beyond impressionism, there was a desire to split with academic tradition and move beyond the studio and into nature.

FRITS THAULOW \ RIVER VIEW,

C L AU D E M O N E T

PIERRE-AUGUSTE RENOIR \ DANCE AT BOUGIVAL, 1883

This monumental canvas is one of Renoir’s most famous. It represents a period of definitive experimentation in his career. Renoir had been in Italy studying the Renaissance and returned to France looking at form and colour. It’s a period of self-education, and Renoir started to experiment with pictorial effects. He used a luminous palette of soft pastels to look into line, form and colour.

BERTHE MORISOT

You can see his attention to detail in the woman’s bonnet – trimmed with purple fruit – and cigarette butts scattered on the floor. In addition to this idyllic scene of a couple dancing, you see extra details Renoir has rendered.

BERTHE MORISOT \ WHITE FLOWERS

IN A BOWL, 1885

Berthe Morisot was an influential member of the French impressionist movement.

An argument put forward in the 1890s was that women were very emotionally attached, unhinged and only mentally capable of recording impressions – that this art movement was suited to women who captured things superficially and fleetingly.

Morisot was appointed as the movement’s mascot, but it was a “backhanded compliment in a strange way”. She was accepted to the Paris Salon to receive private training – a time when women couldn’t do that through the Academy. The sketchy and quickly worked nature of her canvas means that a large part of the raw canvas can be seen underneath. In the NGV exhibition, you’ll find it in the section titled Still Life.

4

CLAUDE MONET \ POPPY FIELD IN A HOLLOW NEAR GIVERNY 1885

You’ll find this work and 18 others of Monet’s in the exhibition’s final gallery, which is oval-shaped.

The space references the iconic galleries that Monet was involved in designing when creating the water lilies paintings in Paris. Monet settled in Giverny, where he built his famous water lily garden. You can see the subtle difference between his locations – his use of shadow and colour is incredible.

EDGAR DEGAS \ MARY CASSATT AT THE LOUVRE: THE ETRUSCAN GALLERY 1879-80

Impressionists in the late 1870s and early 1880s turned to experimental printmaking – including Mary Pasett and Edgar Degas. They came together intending to publish a journal of etchings, but it never came to fruition. This depicts Mary Cassatt leaning on an umbrella, looking at paintings on display at the Louvre. ● FRENCH IMPRESSIONISM \ Until October 3 ● ngv.vic.gov.au

Survival of the fittest

COVER STORY A trip home for

Australian Survivor gave Jonathan LaPaglia much-need family time.

I

t’s been 27 years since Jonathan LaPaglia left Australia to pursue his acting career in the United States, but a three-month stint in outback Queensland to film the new season of Australian Survivor got him thinking about his own connection to country.

It’s the first time this incarnation of the local reality TV game show has been filmed in Australia.

This time around, its base is the town of Clonclurry, a dusty, arid part of the outback nicknamed “The Curry” and an eight-hour drive inland from Townsville. This is a place where temperatures climb to the high 40s and is described by the locals as a place that’s hotter than a vindaloo.

“I’ve always been fascinated by the outback, but I have never actually ventured out there on any meaningful level,” says LaPaglia. “It’s always appealed to me but I guess living in the United States means it’s not always been as possible for me to get there.”

There was no local cafe downtime or poolside view to be found here; instead, LaPaglia was more

likely to travel up to four hours a day on gravel roads to get from one contestant trial to another.

“To see this amazing country and understand just how tough the environment is, is something you only can realise when you’re there experiencing it yourself,” he says. “It’s a tough place for people to live and work. I certainly have a newfound respect for people who call the outback their home.”

This year’s theme is Brains v Brawn, and contestants include former AFL player Gavin Wanganeen, the first Indigenous player to win a Brownlow medal, big-wave surfer Felicity Palmateer

and award-winning author Wai Chim. But, according to the host, it’s less about beauty or brains and more about your social skill in navigating the mind-game ahead.

LaPaglia has been hosting Australian Survivor since 2016, but it’s the first time he’s swapped exotic locations such as Fiji and Samoa for remote grit.

He took the change of scenery in his stride but says the filming schedule was hectic for everyone, from contestants to crew.

“Once the train leaves the station it doesn’t stop,” says LaPaglia of the work grind. “We film 24/7 ...

“I specialised in emergency medicine but got distracted by acting and never went back.”

Jonathan LaPaglia in the Queensland outback.

I really didn’t have time to do much else other than get up and go to work and then to bed. I went to a restaurant once the whole time I was there.”

LaPaglia packed books to read on his trip, only to find himself too exhausted to dip into them.

He did, however, find a brief moment to put pencil to paper and draw – it’s a hobby he always wished he had pursued, and only since the pandemic hit has he had a chance to dive deeper into it. He occasionally posts a sketch to his Instagram page.

LaPaglia, 51, lives in California with his Australian wife, actress and writer Ursula Brookes, and their daughter, Tilly, 22. Being away from his family wasn’t easy and trying to align schedules for FaceTime was also problematic.

“Being away from my family is always the hardest part of my job,” LaPaglia says. “Our work schedules made it hard to connect. But it was the rare moments I could FaceTime them that really kept me going.

“My wife and daughter’s schedule weren’t in sync with my own, and time differences definitely made it difficult. You know those moments you want to see someone or hear their voice but can’t? We all know that feeling.”

The upside of being granted access to fly to Australia for work meant LaPaglia could catch up with his mother, Maria, while here.

“My father [Eddie] died eight years ago and my mother lives by herself. Her health hasn’t been great,” he says. “I hadn’t seen her for 14 months due to the pandemic, so to be able to see her again was such a relief.”

Long before he was tempted to pursue acting, LaPaglia left his hometown of Adelaide to work as an emergency doctor in Sydney and the UK after graduating from the University of Adelaide.

“I specialised in emergency medicine but got distracted by acting and never went back,” he says.

“But it was drawing I always wanted to do. I actually enrolled in Fine Art at the University of Adelaide and did that for a little while before transferring to medicine.

“I had more friends going into medicine so maybe that was the reason for the switch, or maybe my father talked me out of it – telling me I’d never make a living as an artist.

“It’s a skill I have neglected for decades and I feel I need to invest more time in it.”

While there are no immediate plans to return to Australia, LaPaglia hints he’s keen to do some film or drama work if the opportunity presents itself.

Would he relocate with the family back to Australia?

“It’s something that occasionally pops up in conversation at home,” he says. “Who knows, maybe in the future we may, but right now our daughter is entrenched in schooling and that dictates everything at this point.”

LaPaglia reflects fondly on his time filming The Slap in Melbourne in 2011. It was the first time he was cast in an Australian TV series to play the lead – in this case, the protagonist Hector. He returned to film Underbelly: Badness a year later.

“I had my apartment in St Kilda. It was a great time. I’d love to do something like that again,” he says.

Best known for his US acting roles as Frankie B. Parker in the TV series Seven Days and detective Tommy McNamara in New York Undercover, LaPaglia admits the pandemic and US election put his own life in perspective.

“I think, like many people, the pandemic brought many things into focus,” LaPaglia says.

“I found myself asking, ‘What am I doing with my life?’ I became more aware of my own mortality.

I was questioning my professional and personal choices and realised, at the end of the day, I need to make more of life and say yes to more of the opportunities that are presented to me.

“It’s human nature to slip into old habits.

Many people fall back into their old ways but I’m determined not to do that. I am certainly a victim of that, and really only time will tell.” ● AUSTRALIAN SURVIVOR \ Premieres Sunday, Network 10 ● 10play.com.au/australian-survivor

Child’s play

Gone are the days of simply putting up a slippery dip. Playgrounds now are works of public art.

reat playgrounds have a quality of squeal, swirl and stomp. Energised children are gleefully shrill as they swirl from climbing element to roundabout, from thundering across an elevated bridge to sliding down a twisting plastic tube.

And it’s impossible to ignore the decibels of whoop emanating from the flying fox. But in all the din are eddies of quietude: The child swinging in the flat hammock; the one belly down on a rock, annoying ants with a stick; another transported to an imaginary landscape in the sand play area.

The best playgrounds also have nodes where parents can prop without being intrusive.

Mums, dads and grandparents drive distances to get their offspring to the best playgrounds which are, with few exceptions, according to Circus Oz acrobat Christian Reid, not in the inner suburbs.

He bought his preschool daughter from Reservoir to the Eltham North Adventure Playground to join the 60-70 children engaging with the award-winning facility and says they will later move four kilometres on to the Diamond Creek Regional Playground that opened in mid-March.

That vast new play place is based on a gold-rush theme and, Reid says, has a measured amount of risk in elements such as a raised parkour log climb.

The two playgrounds have made the district quite the recreation drawcard because families can make a free day’s entertainment by moving between them along the Diamond Creek bike trail.

Nillumbik Community Arts and Cultural Engagement officer Sarah Hammond says “families come from all over the state … from interstate” to experience these new-era playgrounds that were designed in response to ratepayer consultation.

“Council really took on board what the community wanted,” she says, “and it involved adventure, risk, and for kids to be able to challenge themselves in a safe environment.”

Jeavons Landscape Architects, in collaboration with Gardiner Architects and Naturform, designed the Eltham North Adventure Playground to replace the original woolshed playground which the two designers had created 26 years previously, but which was destroyed by fire in 2017.

Off the top of her head, Mary Jeavons can’t tell how many play options there are around the woolshedthemed core but says in the time that elapsed between constructions, the main changes have been the attention given to making them usable for disabled adults and children, more enticements to “play in the landscape”, and ideas around what constitutes an acceptable injury threshold.

“The bottom line,” she says, “is that we want to avoid serious injuries.

Minor injuries are, to a point, acceptable. We do want children to take challenges and decide for themselves what they can master.” ●

he ubiquity of today’s technology has introduced a host of challenges for parents.

How much screen time is too much?

And how can they determine when children need their device for schoolwork or when they’re just scrolling? It’s not straightforward.

Tech executive Renata Sguario says the first step is accepting that we’re now deep into the digital age.

“The reality is device use is here to stay,” she says. “And technology and digital skills are actually critical for the future. What we need to do is have a conversation around using the device for good.”

“The attention span of young people is shortening, and that’s a big problem in the workplace.” RENATA SGUARIO Sguario has founded Maxme, a suite of technology-enabled learning experiences that teaches the human skills needed to thrive in work and life – a curated program designed to get young adults “job-ready”.

“The attention span of young people is shortening, and that’s a big problem in the workplace,” Sguario says. “If they don’t have enough of an attention span to sit with a challenge and work through it to get a solution, they’re not going to survive in the workplace.”

When it comes to screen time, Sguario notes there’s no one-size-fitsall answer. She says parents should be aware of the signs of tech addiction to adjust habits around device use.

“If it’s starting to contribute to anxiety, lack of sleep and you’re obsessed about social media … that’s

when it’s gone into the zone of not healthy. It’s also the messages that we are hearing or interpreting through that device. Am I filling my time with things that are going to be helpful to me and grow my confidence? Or am I being plagued by constant signals around perfectionism?”

Shelford Girls’ Grammar is piloting Maxme this year as an alternative to the traditional year 10 work experience. It is delivered through a blended in-class and gamified online program called Amica.

Catherine Freney, the careers and future pathways co-ordinator at Shelford, sees Maxme as a tool to help students flourish at school and ultimately prepare for the workplace.

SHELFORD GIRL S GRAMMAR

“I think, particularly at the moment, it’s been really hard for the kids with them having to do a lot of online learning,” Freney says.

“It’s such an important thing for us to be able to have the kids accessing the technology and using it because that’s what their future is going to be like.”

Trinity Grammar School, Kew was on board last year when the

COVID-19 restrictions stopped work experience placements.

“The technology is structured, and the objectives are clearly outlined around the program,” says Katherine Ward, Trinity’s head of career management. “I think issues arise when the objectives aren’t clear with technology and why they are using it.”

Sguario says kids are perhaps yet to understand the difference between online and offline behaviour.

“People can hide behind fairly brutal opinions and tend to say things online that they would never say to a person’s face,” she says.

“When you’re working face-to-face, you have to take responsibility for your actions and what you say.” ● ● maxme.com.au

Nurturing young women

SACRÉ CŒUR

delina Melia-Douvos, principal of Sacré Cœur, understands the powerful influence strong female leaders can have on young minds. Her decision to become a teacher and spend her career in an all-girls environment was due to inspiring women at her Catholic secondary school who encouraged Melia-Douvos to be curious and follow her interests and passions.

As principal of an independent Catholic school for girls, Melia-Douvos is very conscious of the positive influence she and her colleagues can have on the young women benefitting from a Sacré Cœur education.

“There were individuals who contributed to my formation at different junctures in my life, and there were key people who were part of the education I received,” says Melia-Douvos.

“I chose to go into education because of the absolute gift I was given by women, and men, who contributed to who I am. Those teachers nurtured me, fostered passion in me and invested in me a strong sense of self that I carried through school and university. For me now, it is a privilege to walk with the young women at Sacré Cœur.”

Melia-Douvos nominates a series of challenges that young women may face in society today. She says the systemic power imbalance and gender inequities that have existed for centuries are unfortunately still present. The “plight of perfectionism”, mental health difficulties, and the complexities of working out who they are and what others expect of them must all be managed.

“A Sacré Cœur education is steeped in the Sacred Heart charism, and that charism places the child at the centre of everything. That remains true in 2021,” says Melia-Douvos.

“Our focus continues to be on academic endeavour and formation of character, and it is very much a holistic education that one can see, hear and feel on campus. We help our girls be future-ready and nurture skills and traits that invest in them a sense of self, purpose and identity so that they can find their individual path and place in the world.”

Bella Ronchi became part of the Sacré Cœur community in year 7.

She is now in year 10 and is a Class Leader, a responsibility she’s had for a few years.

BELLA RONCHI

“Being a Class Leader has challenged me in a way that no other activities could, but it’s rewarding knowing you can give a voice to those who may not be able to speak up for themselves,” says Ronchi.

She agrees that young women face challenges in 2021, but Ronchi is confident that Sacré Cœur students develop the confidence, skills and insight needed to navigate those challenges successfully.

“Throughout history, stereotypes have limited young women from success. Male figures have dominated academic achievements, and it’s only recently that women are getting the recognition they deserve,” says Ronchi.

“And, in a world where social media is so prominent, impossible standards and expectations are placed on girls, pressuring them to look and act a certain way. As women are constantly bombarded with people telling them what they should and shouldn’t look like, accepting themselves for who they are is seen as an act of rebellion. I believe a

SACRÉ CŒUR \ 172 Burke Road, Glen Iris ● 9835 2700 ● sac.vic.edu.au

significant amount can be done to reduce these societal expectations so that young women can achieve a more equal and positive future.”

Melia-Douvos says a positive and dynamic learning environment supports students to be intellectually competent and curious, to be courageous and kind, and spiritual and reflective.

“Our students are principled, civic-minded and open-minded, creative and analytical. They are individuals who take a very considered approach to life, and they are skilful at communication and establishing relationships,” she says.

“While they will face challenges, I see incredible hope in our girls. They are strong and driven by a desire to be active contributors to the solution.

They will bring awareness, and they will roll up their sleeves and affect change. Our girls leave our school with a deep sense that they are part of something much bigger than themselves.” ● SARAH MARINOS

Preshil is a progressive independent school and an International Baccalaureate World School with a reputation for delivering learning that focuses on each student’s individual journey. This approach is evident in the music program offered during the Middle Years and in years 11 and 12.

“Preshil’s view of music is that it offers children the opportunity to be creative and imaginative, to experience learning by doing and playing, and it encourages them to experiment with new ideas and new skills,” says Karoline Kuti, Preshil’s music co-ordinator.

“How and what they learn in music underpins creative and imaginative learning that can be translated into other areas of their education.”

In the Middle Years Programme, themes and genres of music are researched to encourage inquiry-based learning. Students learn how to create and perform music themselves, and while experience and ability may vary, all students are supported on their musical journey, says Kuti.

“Some children join the Middle Years Programme with very little musical education while others may have played a musical instrument for years. Each child grows their own knowledge and skills and takes every task in a slightly different direction that is meaningful for them,” she says.

Overarching themes explored in the Middle Years range from musical identity and storytelling to blues and musical theatre. They can learn a wide variety of instruments from percussion, piano, violin and cello to bassoon, flute, saxophone, banjo and ukulele.

Digital music is also part of the curriculum, with students becoming adept at using programs like Garage Band, Reaper and Ableton, and playing electronic instruments. Students also investigate what it means to be a performer, and they develop the confidence to perform themselves.

“By the time they get to the Diploma Programme in years 11 and 12, students who choose to continue

K A R O LI N E KU T I & S T U D E N T S

with music have been exposed to a diverse range of music from different corners of the globe and from different time periods. They have a great general understanding of music and continue to expand that knowledge,” says Kuti.

The music component of the Diploma Programme recently evolved and now has a greater focus on collaboration with students working together to create a show, performance or album of music.

“The new music program has looked at the music industry and what it means to be a musician in the world. It places original music composed by the students alongside mastery of traditional classics.

“Preshil students are encouraged to engage without fear of failure, to experiment and to find their true musical voice. In this way, the IB fits so well with the Preshil philosophy,” says Kuti.

The school has a number of opportunities for students to perform through open mic sessions, ensembles, performances in the community and

PRESHIL \ 12-26 Sackville Street, Kew ● 9817 6135 ● preshil.vic.edu.au

major events like the Live Music is Good For You festival at the Royal Melbourne Hospital.

“Students learn to feel comfortable performing in front of their peers and a wider audience because Preshil offers them a supportive and noncompetitive environment. They understand that we are in the learning experience together, and there is incredible mutual respect between students and teachers,” says Kuti.

Kuti is an accomplished cellist who has performed on stage and on TV with a long list of internationally renowned artists. But being part of the music program at Preshil is a highlight of her career so far.

“I love working with the students and opening their eyes to what music can be for them,” she says.

“Music is a valuable source of self-expression and a powerful way to communicate. Helping students find a genuine love of music is very exciting.” ● SARAH MARINOS

Melbourne’s tallest building beyond the CBD, the Capitol Grand, acts like a compass for the inner east.

If lost in Windsor, Malvern or Richmond, turn around until you see the shimmering citadel that touches the sky above Chapel Street. Got your bearings?

That secure feeling turns to tummy-fluttery in this extraordinary residence on level 45 of the LK Tower. Vertigo is an irresistible pleasure when full glazing along elliptical walls brings eyes straight to the view across the bay to the CBD skyline and on to the Macedon, Kinglake and Dandenong ranges ... and down to street level, where the Yarra looks like a silver ribbon and Chapel Street disappears into the bayside haze.

A long-time resident might eventually feel blase. And that might be good, because this Bates Smart-designed building has many other pleasures. On level 33 is the Azure Club, with an infinity pool and spa, gym, lounge and conference room for the exclusive use of upper-floor residents. LK Tower also has a full-length pool, library, cinema, car wash and 24-hour concierge.

The apartment is a dazzling alternative to life in a big house. The enormous living area curves north to south, promising a brilliant sunset view. Italian porcelain tiles (with underfloor heating) gleam below oak panelling and backlit bookcases.

The stone kitchen has Gaggenau appliances – induction cooktop, twin ovens, dishwasher and a two-door integrated fridge. The butler’s pantry has a third oven.

Bedrooms are smartly zoned in two wings. The main suite
