Making the step into prep “The more comfortable a student is operating as part of a larger group, the more they’re open to play and learning. And play-based learning is what it’s all about.”

So while there’s no need for students to arrive knowing the whole alphabet, being able to recognise their own names can be helpful. A child feels a sense of pride when they spot their name on a book, jumper or locker, and this encourages independence.

“The children who settle the most quickly are the ones who are feeling, ‘oh, this is my place, and I’m in charge here and I can do some things for myself’,” said Ms Hogan. “Having them feeling capable and self-sufficient is key.”

Janine Hogan, Head of Joigny

A child’s first day at school is a unique milestone in a parent’s journey. It’s a time of excitement for what lies ahead, sometimes tinged with worry or a hint of sadness about separation and the transition to this new phase of life.

As parents we want our children to thrive, so how can we best prepare them for starting school?

School Janine Hogan says these are rarely the keys to successful early schooling.

Many parents focus on academics, especially early literacy and numeracy. But while familiarity with letters and numbers can be advantageous, Sacré Cœur’s Head of Junior

“Socialisation is what matters,” said Ms Hogan. “It’s about feeling happy in one’s own skin and being able to engage with others and in activities outside of the family environment.”

“The more comfortable a student is operating as part of a larger group, the more they’re open to play and learning. And play-based learning is what it’s all about.”

The school transition can be easy for some and more difficult for others, and there are many things parents and educators can do to make the process as seamless as possible. Establishing routines in this new environment builds predictability and gives children a sense of security and control,

which can help an unsettled child adjust.

Schools like Sacré Cœur communicate regularly with parents and welcome them onsite to make individual plans to support children, and educators ensure there are interesting, hands-on activities for students to engage with as soon as they arrive each morning.

Ms Hogan says students become primed to learn once they begin to feel like the school is theirs to explore.

In terms of encouraging literacy development, reading to a child regularly is perhaps the single best thing a parent can do. Not only does it stimulate imagination, it instills a sense of wonder around books and stories, and these determine the way young children engage with literacy tasks at school.

“Their rate of progress is extraordinary,” she said. “It’s fascinating to see and hear your young child learn to sound words out, to write initial letters in the phase of role play writing and then begin to space letters apart to represent words.”

“It’s really special to be part of it. To be reading with your child at home and to witness them gradually seeing themselves as a reader is quite amazing.”

We are excited to announce the addition of a second Prep class in 2022, due to a growing waitlist. We welcome your enrolment enquiries for a limited number of places available in Prep for 2022 and beyond.

Our new fee schedule also means that Prep-Year 2 is now more accessible than ever.

It’s a grand old flag And, now, dogged Demon supporters are daring to dream of a ‘brand new flag’.

John – a Melbourne life member and head trainer for the past 24 years – telling him it was “character-building.”

“All I want is one (flag). All my dad wants is one. And many Melbourne supporters probably feel the same.’’

Stanaway is allowing himself “a trickle more confidence to potentially allow ourselves to dream – maybe!’’ now that the Demons are assured of a first final since it all ended so meekly against West Coast in the 2018 preliminary in Perth.

“I’ve gone from being the real pessimist to being... I wouldn’t say an optimist, but just allowing myself to think, ‘Geez, what would it be like, and for how many days afterwards would I be partying?’’’

Howcroft is another who was born into a staunch Demon family. The former board member was born in 1965 – a year after the Dees won their last flag – and watched every home game with his grandparents.

“My grandmother had a red cushion, my grandfather had a blue cushion, and invariably we would leave halfway through the third quarter, because we were always losing, and they wanted to beat the traffic.

“Then, of course, it turned into,

‘We’ll leave at three-quarter time.’

Oh my God!’’ Despite the scarring Howcroft remains resolute: “All of my friends know that I think we’re going to win every year.”

Yet, he is also aware he may never see a f lag in his lifetime. And, if he does? Howcroft suspects it might also feel slightly hollow. “I think a lot of us Melbourne supporters would be saying to ourselves: ‘What are we going to do now? What are we going to look forward to now?’’’

Mitchell subscribes to the theory it is excessively risky to expect too much, for fear of being disappointed.

So, is the one-time paperboy daring to dream of front-page premiership news this year?

“Nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh. I’m a Melbourne supporter, I don’t trust ’em!’’ Mitchell says. “But I’m loving it, of course. It’s been terrific, and they’ve performed beautifully in a couple of games, and abysmally in others, and every time they have a bad game I think, ‘Oh that’s it, the bubble’s burst. That’s the end.’

“But I’ve been thinking that since 1965.’’ ●

W

hen the world’s oldest professional football club won its most recent premiership way back in 1964, Neil Mitchell was a young Melbourne supporter with a Saturday afternoon paper round near his Elwood home.

“I couldn’t go to the game, because I had to work. And I said to myself, ‘Oh, it doesn’t matter, I’ll go next year when you’re in the grand final,’’’ recalls Mitchell, then 12, now 69.

“That was their last premiership.

They’ve been in the grand final twice and I’ve gone to both of those and we got whipped both times.’’

Ah, yes. Sigh. That would be 1988 (a record 96-point loss to Hawthorn), and 2000 (a 10-goal belting, in every respect, from Essendon).

No wonder Mitchell is a selfdescribed “fatalist”, as his oncemighty club endures the longest active VFL/AFL premiership drought now that the Swans (72 years) and Bulldogs (62) have managed to raise the Cup since 2005.

Fellow Dees supporters, 3AW Breakfast co-host Russel Howcroft and Nine sports presenter Clint Stanaway, can only imagine how it would feel to watch your side win a flag after a (57-year) drought.

Stanaway always remembers his dad,

COVER STORY Sometimes the pandemic can teach us lessons about how

fortunate we really are as You Am I frontman, Tim Rogers, discovered.

M

ost of his life has been spent touring with a band, including 32 years and more than 3000 shows with You Am I, but in 2019, Tim Rogers got a regular day job – to save his mental health.

“I wanted to figure out what was going on and why I was feeling this way and, rather than speak to someone, I got a job as a bartender, dug trenches in Boronia and had a go at gardening,” the 51-yearold says.

It wasn’t exactly a midlife crisis – or perhaps, in hindsight, it was – but Rogers, who wrote some of the biggest radio hits of the 1990s, including Heavy Heart and Berlin Chair, says touring life had wearied him.

“A lot of musicians say they’ll stop performing when it stops making them happy, and many don’t,” Rogers says. “They become curmudgeons and rude to bandmates and to those who come to their shows. I was becoming miserable and needed to disconnect.”

It also took a trip to NSW to go fishing and write songs for him to gain some clarity – as did a meaningful chat with his friend Tex Perkins. Rogers contemplated quitting the band but stopped short of announcing it. The pandemic changed the tune of what happened next.

“I saw a lot of friends, who worked in staging and road crew, who suddenly lost their jobs last March.

I realised I had to stop complaining. I was lucky that I could still write songs even if I couldn’t tour,” Rogers says.

The Lives of Others, You Am I’s first album in six years, is a reminder of the four-piece’s status.

It entered the local album charts at No. 2, behind Delta Goodrem’s latest album, Bridge over Troubled Dreams, which debuted in the same week in May this year.

The album is packed with ’60s inspired melodies, razor-sharp guitars and a touch of psychedelic rock.

It’s a true return to form – traversing the golden era

of their album-making, including 1993’s Sound As Ever, 1995’s Hi-Fi Way and 1996’s Hourly, Daily.

“The band is the longest relationship I have ever had outside of my own family,” Rogers says. “There’s something to be said in that.

“And while we have seen each other at our best and worst, the magic when we come together is still there. I didn’t think that would be the case when I needed a break, I just thought, ‘That’s it’.”

Then, in early August, it was announced that Rogers would also join Sydney punk-rock outfit The Hard-Ons, as their lead singer.

He has been a long-time fan of the group and, at the time of the announcement, said: “I was already the luckiest goof in rock’n’roll and I get asked to make a racket with my heroes? Strewth. Wake me up sometime, will ya?”

Rogers has already recorded an album with the Hard-Ons, with the first single, Hold Tight, released on August 13. The album, I’m Sorry Sir, That’s Riff’s Been Taken, is due out on October 8. Tour dates are set to be announced later this year.

Adored for his flamboyant stage presence, he certainly knows how to fuel a crowd. Rogers says being on stage is still cathartic but would hate to see a film played out of what goes through his mind when he’s up there.

“I’m thinking of everything like, ‘What would it be like to be a dog?’ to, ‘How do you make a sausage roll?’ It’s wild, it’s manic, it’s dangerous. I keep reminding myself, ‘Keep your clothes on, Rogers’,” he says.

But it wasn’t the stage that frightened him as much as the twilight zone of touring, and perhaps the repetition and uncertainty of doing it just got too much.

In his 2017 autobiography Detours, he wrote of a suicide attempt while on a North America tour – something he’s ashamed of, but addresses in his book.

“I was always dragging myself through another

hangover or comedown, until it wore me down,” Rogers says.

Born in Western Australia, Rogers spent his childhood moving around Australia with his parents and sister. He arrived in Melbourne aged 28, and has never left.

He lives in St Kilda and is still drawn to its “dangerous, sexy and cruddy appeal”. It’s where his now 20-year-old daughter, Ruby, who lives in New York with her mother, spent her formative years.

“I speak to Ruby every second day. I miss her.

It’s been a year and a half since we were together in the same room, but that’s the life of an international family,” he says.

Rogers also hosts Double J’s radio show Liquid Lunch, a rambling mix of music and storytelling.

Long before his music career came calling, he wanted to be a professional sportsman – but that dream was crushed early on in his childhood.

“Skin conditions kept me inside a lot,” he says.

“I had lots of warts, boils and acne and played in my room a lot.

It made me quite nervous and quashed any aspiration I had of wanting to be a sportsman.

I was nerdy and eager to please. That really did affect me growing up.”

Perhaps that childhood longing to please still lingers within Rogers; in conversation, he’s well mannered and calm, but a nagging self-doubt seems to rage quietly beneath the surface.

He’s never shied from talking about the complications of his drinking and drug-taking past or the strains of long-distance relationships, but right now, he’s ready to give his bands the attention they deserve.

“I’ve learned when you’re on tour and the fun comes along, you absolutely get involved, you share it and you cherish it.” ● If you or anyone you know needs support call Lifeline on 131 114, or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 46 36.

Nadia Bartel is an ambassador for Maybelline’s TerraCycle campaign.

“I try to be as honest as I can and have turned down big deals with big brands and good money, too.” with some big brands over the years, such as Wella and LaRoche Posay and Mac Cosmetics.

She’s known for her strict moral code when it comes to business, only collaborating with brands she says she knows and trusts.

Since 2011, she’s chosen Instagram as her platform, sharing stories with women who hang on her every smudge-proof beauty move.

“If I don’t use it or wear it, I don’t promote it,” Bartel says. “I have slowly built my online audience over the past 10 years. It’s been organic and I never speak down to them.

“Most of the women who follow me are in Melbourne or Sydney. They know that what I post comes from a real place,” Bartel says.

She says she’s big on tried-and-tested tutorials, and that’s what wins her followers.

“I try to be as honest as I can and have turned down big deals with big brands and good money, too,” Bartel says. ”But if I don’t shop there, my

followers will know it’s not authentic. They would be able to see it’s not really me.”

Now Bartel is promoting Maybelline’s TerraCycle program, which collects old cosmetic packaging from Priceline stores across Australia for recycling.

She started working with Maybelline two years ago after they spotted her using their products in tutorials. “I’ve been using Maybelline since I was a teenager,” Bartel says “The green and pink mascara is one of the best and I still use a foundation I discovered way back too.”

Aligning with Maybelline on its ambitious plan to cut cosmetic landfill by 50 tonnes over three years resonated with Bartel.

“I am conscious of being greener and more sustainable with what we’re doing at Henne,” she says. “We’re taking steps to be more environmentally friendly and sustainable too. We also want to move our production from China to Australia, and work with Australian fabrics in the next quarter.

Bartel keeps herself busy with work – she is also co-founder of Spray AU, which is now stocked at Mecca Cosmetics – but finds time to look after herself as well.

“In the past few years, I have done a lot of work on my spiritual self,” Bartel adds. “I went to see a breath work teacher and it was amazing.

“If you suffer from anxiety or stress, it helps you breathe in a certain way that brings you in the present moment. I set the alarm for 5.20am to do it before the boys wake.”

She is hands-on when it comes to raising her sons, Aston and Henley.

“I try to spend as much time as I can with the boys as I want to be there in their formative years.

I don’t have a nanny and do most of the drop and pick-ups from school,” she says.

“I have definitely changed a lot in the past few years. I am probably a totally different person – evolving and getting wiser.” ●

Vampires can’t bear the sunlight, which might be one reason they were such popular characters in Victorian times. The Victorians didn’t seem to want to bag any rays themselves, as Inglis Architects noted when they visited Eveline.

A stately 1880s mansion in the Munro Estate, Eveline had one giant oddity – it was built to ignore the light.

That would never work for its new 21st-century family, so the Inglis team came up with an “intervention”: Extend the house, keep the 3.4-metre ceilings and create an internal courtyard to welcome the sunshine.

The result, completed in 2019, is a masterpiece of modern good sense and style. Using pale oak, terrazzo and marble, the architects took their cue from Eveline’s serene original rooms and wafted it throughout.

Handmade Danish bricks frame full-length windows in the new wing, whose living and dining zones open to the northeasterly garden and pool. A maple peeps prettily from the glass-walled courtyard, which brings light and breeze to the kitchen and to the main bedroom suite on the first floor.

With a parlour at the front, family living at the back and four bright bedrooms upstairs, the scene is set for a family’s elegant new chapter.

Switch modes as you like; the parlour can become a study, and the family area can be configured for entertaining. The Miele-equipped kitchen has a wine room and a butler’s pantry. In the garden, a bluestone barbecue stands by the solar-heated pool.

Mid-century chic with a mountain view gets even better when you look at the Melway. Could there be a more park-rich, walkable spot so close to schools and shops?

And with trams! On a corner block in the Riverside Estate, the two-storey 1950s house is beautifully updated yet retains Modernist quirks such as porthole windows and a crazy-paved fireplace. A highlight is the living room (gas fireplace), which juts at an odd angle to catch the morning sun. The adjoining study is bright and cosy for work-fromhomers. A contemporary dining-family room opens to a covered deck above the garden for ease of barbecues, and the kitchen has a meals area.

The single-level 1920s house has been extended to make the most of its north-facing garden. The large living room (fireplace) opens to a sunroom with french doors to the lawn. Sitting and dining rooms open to the westerly courtyard, secluded by a vine-clad wall, and the study, family room and retreat/fifth bedroom complete the communal pleasures.
