Principal’s A

Perspective

s we emerged from the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated turbulence, we commenced the new school year with an exuberant and somewhat aspirational theme - “Woo-hoo 2022!” With the theme’s encouragement to embrace joy, positivity and opportunity, our year unfolded with “woo-hoo” moments and gratitude; reflecting upon how far we’d come from the challenging and lengthy Victorian lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, we appreciated dearly the reconnection 2022 offered. In the constancy of Geelong Grammar School’s (GGS) ebb and flow, our spirits were constantly buoyed by the ongoing support and generosity of our community – a community that believes in the transformational strength of education.

Our annual Impact of Giving report highlights how fortunate we have been to move through the challenges of the past few years with the support, care, and cooperation of our benefactors. As our School navigated unprecedented obstacles, the leadership and philanthropy of the Geelong Grammar Foundation and its members enabled our learners to feel a genuine sense of belonging and a confidence to open their hearts and minds to the myriad of possibilities available at GGS. It is my great privilege to thank each and every one of you for your generosity that strengthens and sustains our School.

The theme of this year’s report is Creating Impact. Our School is committed to providing young people with the knowledge, faith, and compassion to create purposeful and enterprising lives: lives that prioritise wellbeing and creativity. Creative Education is one the School’s three Strategic Pillars (alongside Adventure Education and Positive Education) that underpin our approach to an Exceptional Education. Through the theme Creating Impact, the report explores contributions that have supported the creative capacity of students and staff, cultivating the skills of communication, collaboration, critical thinking, problem posing and problem solving. The following pages and stories demonstrate the importance of these skills and showcase the breadth of learning opportunities provided by a GGS education.

Our School’s development of Creative Education has been accelerated by the visionary philanthropy of Min and Ian Darling AO (P’79). Min and Ian’s ardent advocacy has assisted students and staff to engage more adeptly with the complex opportunities of an ever-evolving world. It has enabled the employment of our two Creative Education Collaborators (Dan Davies and Matt Limb) and augmented our academic programmes to progress beyond the silos of standardised learning and towards an education that recognises the universal and teachable skills that lie between subjects. Min and Ian’s commitment and generosity help gift our students the freedom and flexibility to use their imagination, to take responsible risks, and nurture their capacity as courageous and convergent thinkers.

Our developing approach to sustainability is a wonderful example of how our School

community, staff and students are applying creativity and solutions-oriented choices to pressing issues. Sustainability was identified by our community as integral to the vision and future of our School through the stakeholder engagement process of the Corio Campus Masterplan. The Foundation had also identified this as an area of opportunity, supporting the appointment of our Sustainability Manager, Dale Martin, who commenced at GGS in early 2022. The Creative Education team has also been active in this space, building the skills and capacity of our student-led Environmental Action Team (EAT). Dale and our EAT students then collaborated on an inaugural whole of school, multi-campus Sustainability Policy, which was endorsed by School Council in October.

We are delighted with how our sustainability initiatives are Creating Impact. As ever, our ambition is to develop the greatest potential positive impact and progress the School’s purpose of ‘shaping a better world’. We are inspired by the example of others, including Jeff Peck (Ge’42), who left a generous bequest to scholarships and the School’s sailing programme. Jeff was a member of our Biddlecombe Society, which grew to 243 members in 2022. The Society strengthens and sustains our provision of Exceptional Education, and I am thankful for the enduring selflessness of all those who have provided a Bequest in their Will to the Foundation, thereby benefiting the future of our School.

Scholarships are vital to the future of our School, particularly the continuing diversity of our student cohort. Currently, almost 25 percent of students at our School receive some form of financial assistance. Scholarships such as the Michael Collins Persse Scholarship, which is now valued at over $2.5 million, provide life-changing

GEELONG GRAMMAR FOUNDATION 6

opportunities for so many young people who otherwise could not afford a GGS education, especially those from rural, regional, and Indigenous communities. Our Scholarship Programme is itself diverse, with scholarships such as the Geoffrey (Pop) R. Fink Scholarship and Sir Russell Drysdale Visual Arts Scholarship, the latter kindly initiated by Belinda and John Simson (Cu’73), which nurture talented visual arts students, adding enormously to the creative life of our School.

Throughout 2022, such commitment and spirit were exemplified by the efforts of our Geelong Grammar Foundation, its members and our benefactors; the result was a resounding and collective “woo-hoo”!

Yours gratefully,

From our Chair

This year has proven to be a wonderful time to celebrate the beneficence of the Geelong Grammar School community. The Foundation received gifts exceeding $4.14m across the year, our highest level of philanthropic support since 2017. We acknowledge with gratitude the impact that these gifts will have on the lives of our students, and sincerely thank the many donors who gave so generously across the year.

Even as we took a break from Giving Day, Annual Giving remained a prominent feature of our giving programme in 2022. The collective support of our community through gifts great and small, all equally appreciated and valued, is truly inspiring. In 2022, we saw 291 donors contribute an outstanding $724,700 through Annual Giving. The lion’s share of this was directed to support our scholarship programme, enabling Geelong Grammar School to continue to be a place welcoming all learners. Thank you to all those donors who contributed to achieve this superb outcome for our students.

We are particularly grateful to two of our inspirational young OGGs, Rohan Byrne (Fr’09) and Jodene Garstone (EM’16), for sharing the stories of their own journeys in support of our Annual Giving activities in 2022. If you have not yet seen their videos, showcasing the immensely valuable impact scholarships have on the lives and futures of GGS students, I would urge you to do so. They are very powerful viewing.

As always, the Biddlecombe Society was a shining light in the programmes of the Foundation this year. We returned to all our key locations to host Biddlecombe Society events for those members of our community who have made the commitment of a gift to the School in their Will. Our events on the Bellarine Peninsula, South Australia, Sydney and Melbourne were all well attended by both members and friends. In 2022, Biddlecombe Society membership grew by 28 to reach 243 members. We remain especially grateful for the commitment of these members to the future of Geelong Grammar School.

We remember with respect, affection and gratitude the 13 members of our Foundation community whom we lost this year. We know that many of these members bequeathed gifts to support the School, and we recognise their generosity and the legacy these gifts will provide for generations to come.

Giving generously and for the future is a strong theme of the support we receive from the Geelong Grammar community. I take the opportunity here to recognise the significant philanthropic gifts received in 2022 from a number of truly exceptional donors, in particular Gordon Moffatt AM KSJ (M’48), Tony Poolman (FB’60), Anne and Mark Robertson OAM, the Handbury Foundation, Tim Fairfax AC (M’64), and Ern and Deidre Pope. Each of these donors has made a sizable gift, or gifts, throughout the year and all have been in support of scholarships. We are immensely grateful for your outstanding generosity and leadership.

Ian Darling AO (P’79) and Min Darling continued their support for Creative Education this year with the final gifts towards their $1 million pledge. This significant commitment, established in 2019, activated matching contributions from both the Geelong Grammar

Foundation and the School towards the Creative Education programme. Ian and Min’s important lead gift enabled the establishment of the Centre for Creative Education and the employment of our two Creative Education Collaborators to lead the School’s efforts to embed Creative Education in all aspects of the student experience at GGS.

Two particularly outstanding gifts received in 2022 came through the Estate of the late Jeff Peck (Ge’42). These contributions totalled $1.14m and were split across the Jeff Peck and Silver Harris Scholarship and the Endowment Trust, to be directed towards support for sailing. Jeff was an active member of the School as a student and benefited from the close associations he developed with his peers at GGS, continuing throughout his life and career. He valued deeply the diverse connections he made at the School and the opportunities this experience afforded him. In 2022, the Foundation Board voted to appoint Jeff Peck, posthumously, as an Eminent Member of the Geelong Grammar Foundation in recognition of his deep commitment to the School and his leadership through gifts in his lifetime and through his Will.

A further five Eminent Members were appointed by the Board in 2022. Eminent Membership recognises members of our community for their outstanding service to the Geelong Grammar Foundation. It is a category of membership not defined by the value of giving but by a commitment to the work of the Geelong Grammar Foundation towards the advancement of the School.

We acknowledge the leading contributions of the following new Eminent Members in 2022: Silver Harris, Andrew and Emma Muir, Gordon Moffatt AM KSJ (M’48) and Tony Poolman (FB’60). These members join a growing list of significant contributors who, through their

GEELONG GRAMMAR FOUNDATION 10

philanthropy, advocacy and volunteering, have demonstrated their deep commitment to the Foundation and our School.

Early in 2022 I had the honour of presenting the Medal for Service to Society to OGG and Governor of the Geelong Grammar Foundation, Tim Fairfax AC (M’64). Tim became the fourth recipient of the medal and was acknowledged for his leadership and philanthropic support for rural and regional development, visual arts, and education in Australia, particularly in his home state of Queensland.

Tim’s medal was presented at our biennial Black Tie Dinner, held on Thursday 7 April, 2022 at the State Library of Victoria. The evening proved a very special occasion for reuniting our community after a long

interlude and for celebrating the many talents of Old Geelong Grammarians. The eloquence of the James R. Darling Orator, Joanna Murray-Smith (past parent), was a delight to experience. The next Black Tie Dinner, James R. Darling Oration and presentation of the Medal for Service to Society will take place in 2024. I very much hope that you will join us then.

Once again in 2022 I was ably supported in my role as Chair of the Geelong Grammar Foundation by the commitment of our dedicated Board of Directors. I thank the Board for their unfailing and generous support.

We farewelled a number of directors of the Board across the year, all of whom served the Foundation for many years.

Serena Mitchell (Mackinnon, Cl’83) stepped down after seven busy years on the Foundation Board. She remains a member of our Biddlecombe Society Committee and an ongoing supporter of the Geelong Grammar Foundation.

Charles Henry (FB’67) retired from his position on the Board after four years, including as Chair of the Scholarships and Major Gifts Committee. Charles continues to participate actively in the work of the Foundation and in support of the School.

Will Jones (Cu’72) resigned from the Board in 2022 following eight years of inspiring service. Among Will’s many contributions to the Foundation, he shared his expertise through the Allocations and Investments Committee for nearly a decade, including as Chair from 2014-2019.

We thank Serena, Charles and Will for their enduring commitment to the Foundation and for all they achieved for the School in their time as Directors.

In late 2022 we welcomed Jacinda Dixon to the Board. Jacinda has served on the Allocations and Investments Committee since 2020. She is a current parent and brings a wealth of expertise in financial management and investing, particularly in support of philanthropic organisations. We welcome Jacinda and thank her for contributing her time to the important work of the Geelong Grammar Foundation.

The years ahead hold much excitement for the Geelong Grammar Foundation, as they do for the School. I look forward to continuing to work in partnership with you and our broader Geelong Grammar community to support our ambitions for the future of Geelong Grammar School and the talented staff and students

who fill its rooms and grounds today and into the future.

I offer you again my heartfelt thanks for your generosity and commitment in 2022, and celebrate the support of all our many generous donors. Together we are making a positive difference.

Creative Risk-taking

GEELONG GRAMMAR FOUNDATION 14

It is no surprise that Ian Darling AO (P’79) has a neat answer to the question ‘What is creativity?’ Being creative is not something that he does, but rather something that he is. And that goes all the way back to his primary school days at Geelong Grammar School’s Toorak campus, known then as Glamorgan. “I was introduced to creative thinking there”, explained Ian. “Glamorgan introduced open plan learning, which involved far less structured schooling but rather focused on doing projects on things we were interested in, with lots of general knowledge quizzes and a big emphasis on drama and debating. My structured maths and English perhaps didn’t benefit as much, but I learnt the importance of time management and creative thinking from a very young age. When I think back to Glamorgan, it has almost been a blueprint for what I’ve been able to do in the 40 years since I left school.”

Ian has had two careers in that time, both founded in creative thinking. The first of these was running a funds management business, something that might be more typically associated with financial acumen than a creative mind. Ian’s approach was different, applying the ‘Warren Buffett’ investment approach, which was counter to modern portfolio management theory taught

at business schools at the time. This was a creative approach to an age-old industry. His second career as a documentary filmmaker was an inherently creative option, but Ian’s approach was to create a shift in thinking around what documentaries can do. He set up Shark Island Productions to create social impact documentaries, with extensive education programmes.

He then set up Documentary Australia, a foundation that enables philanthropic funding to come into the documentary space. “Documentaries can be a major force for social change by working with organisations to highlight important issues and shift policies and community behaviour by raising awareness.” The Final Quarter, the unflinching documentary about the racial vilification of AFL player Adam Goodes, which was produced and directed by Ian, is a case in point. Viewed by an estimated four million people so far, including the players and staff of all AFL clubs and in thousands of classrooms across Australia, it is not overreaching to say the film has the potential to ignite a generational change in attitude.

Ian is living proof that it is essential to be able to think independently and creatively, and the best place for those skills to be learned is at school. “We need to do everything we can to prepare young minds to think creatively – not by questioning the education system but by seeing what we can do to broaden it at every instance. Schools are well positioned for creative risk-taking.”

At Geelong Grammar School, Creative Education is one of three ‘pillars’ on which the School’s programmes and curricula are built. Not only did Ian lay the foundation stone for the pillar of Creative Education, as the largest private donor to the SPACE, but for the past five years, he and his wife Min have

“Life is not a series of multiple-choice questions; it isn’t an essay. It’s a daily set of tasks and challenges that require judgement, innovation and risk assessment. This is, in my mind, creativity.”

Watching his play The Twins, in which he co-stars with his school friend Greg Fleet (A’79), is the best and most entertaining way to find out why Ian would prefer not be known as a philanthropist. In a nutshell, it is because he does not want to be seen as someone who just puts his hand in his pocket.

propped it up. Over this period, they have donated an additional $1 million towards the implementation and progression of Creative Education – an incredibly generous act of philanthropy, though the label ‘philanthropist’ is one that sits uncomfortably with Ian. Watching the film version of his play The Twins, in which he co-stars with his school friend Greg Fleet (A’79), is the best and most entertaining way to find out why Ian would prefer not to be known as a philanthropist. In a nutshell, it is because he does not want to be seen as someone who just puts his hand in his pocket. To Ian, monetary giving is an opportunity to create lasting change by combining funding with action. “Engaged philanthropy is really important – that means a group of likeminded donors aligning with sector partners, generating leverage by pooling resources, finding the right partners, and sticking with it for many years. It’s an investment.”

Ian’s decision to invest in Geelong Grammar School began with a tap on the shoulder by his friend Jeremy Kirkwood (FB’79), then chair of School Council. “He asked me if I would help with the building of a new theatre, which was desperately needed to replace the old Bracebridge Wilson theatre. I was the chair of the Sydney Theatre Company and on the board of NIDA, and so in a practical sense I understood the benefits of establishing a world class creative space.” Crucially, Ian was not interested in simply funding a building. “So often the creation of a new building can be a catalyst for a shift in thinking or learning”, explained Ian. Geelong Grammar School had form here, with the opening of the School’s Handbury Centre for Wellbeing in 2008 being the catalyst for the introduction of Positive Education. Similarly, Ian knew that a new performing arts venue must be the catalyst for introducing Creative Education to the School.

Ian refers to this model as the ‘hardware/ software’ approach. “From a fundraising point of view, there was a very positive reaction from donors because they knew that their money was not just going into bricks and mortar but also towards bringing Creative Education into the School. It was vitally important that creativity was at the heart of the building, including its name.” The resulting School for Performing Arts and Creative Education, known and loved as the SPACE, is a building that brings people together as well as having the infrastructure to promote excellence in the arts. “We thought hard about how to design a building that was flexible and served as a hub of the School, which could be used in many different creative ways – a place of community that would strengthen the role of the arts.” Opened in 2015, the SPACE has become such an integral part of the School, serving so many different needs, that it is hard to imagine life without it. Overwhelmingly, it has met its brief of bringing people together. It is a building in which possibilities stir, and memories are made.

Significantly, the building of the SPACE resulted in the leverage that is always Ian’s philanthropic goal. When he and Min offered to donate an additional $1 million towards the implementation of Creative Education, it was very important to Ian that the School was prepared to match their donation. Then, to his delight, the Foundation made the same pledge, and their $1 million became a $3 million investment. “It showed not only how much the School believed in Creative Education but also those who were guiding the allocation of resources for the future benefit of the School were prepared to back it too. It was a powerful three-way initiative that enabled the School to honour the commitment of donors who put up the $20 million for the SPACE. It was vital that we followed through and fulfilled our pledge.”

GEELONG GRAMMAR FOUNDATION 18

Investing, like creativity, does not happen without taking risks, but Ian was comfortable donating ‘risk capital’ because Creative Education was new and therefore any measure of its success needed to be flexible. “Five years on, Creative Education is still being pursued, the School has a model of applying it, and funding has increased. Those are the rewards at this stage. The real proof will be over the next 20 years as a whole generation go through, and past students will be able to talk about how their education affected their thinking when they got into the real world. Philanthropy has a long tail. I had a very positive experience at Geelong Grammar School, and I was very much a beneficiary of the generosity of many philanthropists in generations before. Time is an enormously valuable commodity in terms of philanthropy.”

While he waits to see what the students of the Creative Education generation will bring to the world, Ian is content to enjoy the return on social capital from his investment and to encourage others to adopt his model of purposeful and strategic philanthropy. “Many of my peers, the students and families of the 1970s, have been very generous in recent years, and the major supporters of Positive Education, Creative Education and scholarships. It’s time now for more students and families of the 1980s and 1990s to join us by getting more involved. The opportunity for philanthropic support at Geelong Grammar is enormous because it’s such a large community and there are so many people with incredible expertise and goodwill. If you’re able to assist with the provision of buildings or programmes at the School you’ll be affecting future generations, and that feels pretty good.”

Adolescence Understanding

GEELONG GRAMMAR FOUNDATION 22

‘What is the use of children?’

This was the topic explored by paediatric pioneer, Dr John Court AM (Cu’47), when he gave the Vernon Collins Oration in 1990. Few people were better qualified to speak on the subject, and few people who were present forgot John’s carefully reasoned speech. He explained that usefulness is a fundamental need of children, a need often neglected by modern society, but essential for pre-adolescents to develop a strong internal belief in themselves. And adolescents, explained John, need to be respected. These factors were fundamental to John’s ground-breaking work in adolescent health, which eventually resulted in the first adolescent medical ward in Australia and the formation of the Centre for Adolescent Health.

Between 1996 and 2010, John lent his expertise to Geelong Grammar School as the first senior medical officer. He took on the role with great enthusiasm, travelling regularly to Corio and Timbertop, and developing innovative health pathways that included a radical drug program focusing on education and rehabilitation rather than expulsion. Many students reported their lives were changed for the better as a result of this compassionate approach. “I had always promoted the principle that we should unite, as far as possible, management of student health and illness with promotion of positive health, including healthy eating and physical activity, and other emotional and mental strategies.”

The Handbury Centre for Wellbeing, home to the John Court Café, was in large part conceived in response to John’s theories.

Fittingly, John’s association with Geelong Grammar School bookended his illustrious medical career. When he came to the School

as a 12-year-old boarder in 1941, he had already decided he wanted to become a doctor, having been impressed by his older cousin Jim who was then a medical student. More than 50 years later, John eagerly accepted the invitation to establish a liaison between the School and the Royal Children’s Hospital, where he was then director of adolescent health. Though not an active old boy, by his own admission, he enjoyed reconnecting with the School and in 2015 –by then enjoying a well-earned retirement –he became a member of the Biddlecombe Society when he pledged a gift to the school in his Will. John died in 2021, having entered his tenth decade, leaving a $5,000 bequest to the Michael Collins Persse Scholarship.

It seems only appropriate that John Court’s name is linked with that of Michael Collins Persse, who also cared deeply for the wellbeing of students at Geelong Grammar School. Five years before he died in 2018, Michael and a number of his friends, family and colleagues established the Michael Collins Persse Scholarship in order to commemorate in perpetuity the values of humanism and scholarship that Michael held so dear. The collective efforts of many donors, who, like John, have contributed mostly modest gifts (along with a few more substantial donations), has resulted in a fund for the Michael Collins Persse Scholarship now valued at over $2.5million and able to support multiple students each year with the gift of a Geelong Grammar School education.

The first three Michael Collins Persse scholars, Emily Headon (Cl’20), Harriet Furphy (Cl’20) and Mia McEachern (Cl’20), all commenced during Michael’s lifetime. Sadly, current and future scholars will never experience Michael’s gentle manner and inspiring personality for themselves, but there

GEELONG GRAMMAR FOUNDATION 24

is no doubt they are cognisant of the honour that has been bestowed upon them. There are plenty of people around who keep Michael’s memory alive. “My dad [Nick Bradley, (M’93)] told me he was just the most genuine, gentle and kind person, and that he played an important role in keeping the OGG community together”, said current scholar, Henrietta Bradley (Yr11 Cl). “My great-grandparents [Jean and Morris Chomley, (M’26)] were good friends with him, and Mum [Sarah Bradley (Chomley, Cl’93)] said if her grandma was alive, she would be over-the-moon to know I had received the scholarship.”

If he was here, John would be gratified to know that Henrietta is making the most of her opportunity to attend Geelong Grammar School. “It’s completely changed the trajectory of my life. It’s really special being here and it means a lot to me. Having the scholarship really motivates me to do well because I know how lucky I am to receive it. It was such a nice thing for him to do, to donate his money.” Elise Pemberton (Yr12 EM) and William Simpson (Yr12 P), also current scholars, agree. “It’s an amazing thing to do”, said Elise. “Clearly, he felt such a strong connection to the School in coming back to work here and then donating that money in his Will. That says a lot about him as an individual. It’s not an easy task to be able to come to this school financially, so I feel incredibly grateful I’ve been given the opportunity to come here.” Coming from Hay, William is really appreciating the opportunity to broaden his horizons and make new connections in the same school that his father [Tim Simpson, (P’86)] and sister [Kate Simpson, (Ga’19)] attended. “Michael was my dad’s history teacher. I felt honoured to be selected for the scholarship and I want to make the most of my schooling, and make as many lifelong friendships as I can.”

The notion of philanthropic giving is fundamental to the foundation of the Biddlecombe Society. John Court exemplified the altruistic concept of giving in life through acts, and financially after death. His profoundly gifted ability to understand adolescents and positively affect their lives had an enduring impact in the medical world as well as at Geelong Grammar School. Michael Collins Persse, it may be surmised, would have been honoured by John’s generous contribution to the scholarship established in his name.

The gift of a Music School

GEELONG GRAMMAR FOUNDATION 26

“It must be admitted that the proposed building is still only, as Plato would have said, lying somewhere hid up in heaven.” In 1936, headmaster James Darling was acutely aware that the School’s ability to support the study and appreciation of music was seriously hampered by a lack of adequate facilities in which to teach it. He dreamed of a modern building, fitted with the latest methods of sound insulation, and equipped with a variety of performance spaces, and had plans drawn up by the School’s architects, Messrs Buchan, Laird and Buchan. But the construction costs were prohibitive, and the building could not be financed with a loan because it would not be income producing. It was a matter of hoping that a kind benefactor might make the dream a reality.

Remarkably, within a matter of months, “a small group of friends of the School” –siblings Alan (GGS’10), Max (GGS’04) and Gladys Bell, and their aunt Janet Biddlecombe – expressed their wish to give the school an even better music facility than the one originally proposed.

Council gratefully accepted the gift in May 1937, and within 12 months the work was completed as a memorial to the Bell siblings’ mother Anne, sister of Janet. Their gift acknowledged, too, the fine work of William McKie in building up the School’s music programme, and particularly his close involvement with the design of the new building. McKie saw the Music School completed but left soon afterwards to become organist of Magdalen College, Oxford, and subsequently of Westminster Abbey where he directed the music for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Even so, it was the 1936 performance of Handel’s Messiah at Corio that, years later, McKie remembered as one of the most inspiring of his career.

The new Music School’s “fine concert hall, three teaching rooms, music library, eight practice rooms and teaching and practice rooms for the band” were the result of McKie’s specifications. To great fanfare, the building was formally opened on 14 August 1938 by the famous English conductor and composer, Dr Malcolm Sargent – who confessed he had never heard of Geelong Grammar School before but professed to be charmed by what he saw. Music, he said, enabled students “to establish contact with the verities of life” and therefore the new Music School “should be cherished as one of the greatest assets of the School”. It was cherished so much, in fact, that for decades afterwards a concert was held annually on 14 August, the anniversary of the building’s opening. Music entered another dimension, with performances ranging from The Marriage of Figaro to Haydn’s Creation, and notably the performance of Bach’s entire Mass in B Minor in the centenary year of 1957, in which the whole school accompanied guest soloists.

...never in our wildest dreams have we conjured anything so near perfection as this wonderful reality – a complete unit, perfect in its minutest detail; beautiful, and so exactly suited to our every need.”

In 1938, Max Bell expressed the modest wish that the Music School “will be of lasting benefit to the School in the encouragement of the practice and enjoyment of music”.

John Manifold AM (GGS‘05), acting chairman of Council, corrected this understatement of significance by referring to the gift of the Music School as “a miracle”.

“This miracle has been performed quietly and unobtrusively by the four generous people whose names you have just heard. It is one of those things we have hoped for and dreamed about but, waking, have been forced to put from our minds as utterly impossible and utterly unattainable – at least in our time. And it is just plain fact that never in our wildest dreams have we conjured anything so near perfection as this wonderful reality – a complete unit, perfect in its minutest detail; beautiful, and so exactly suited to our every need.”

Nearly 90 years later, the Music School still functions, proof that generous acts – and even dreams – have far-reaching consequences, and transcend generations.

This is an excerpt from a project currently in progress recording the history of philanthropy at Geelong Grammar School.

GEELONG GRAMMAR FOUNDATION 32

It is now more than nine decades since Geelong Grammar School experienced its own artistic renaissance. During the exciting 1930s, a cultural drought was broken when a stream of well-known artists visited, gave demonstration lessons or loaned their works for display. In 1936, the Dining Hall even played host to an exhibition of the largescale works of Rupert Bunny, one of the most notable Australian artists of his generation. His paintings “remained for some time at the far end of the Dining Hall. During this time, it was interesting to see how people’s opinions changed”, noted the Corian, a remark that suggests the works were generating discussion among a schoolboy audience that was then, in general, nonchalant about the arts.

One of those boys was Geoffrey ‘Pop’ Fink (Cu’38), grandson of Theodore Fink, chairman of the Herald and supporter of the arts, who paid Pop’s school fees. At Corio, Pop came under the influence of the colourful and talented new art master, John Derrick, appointed to the staff in 1935. Pop was one of several enthusiastic students who willingly assisted Derrick with the fitting out of the impressive new Art School, opened at the end of 1937. In particular, he helped to build the long rectangular fishpond in the Art School garden, one end of which was fitted with a glass panel enabling electric lamps to illuminate the marine life for observation purposes. Pop received the Art Prize for his efforts.

Seventy years after Pop left school, the full impact of this stimulating time was revealed. Upon his death in 2008, he left an enormously generous bequest to Geelong Grammar School for the foundation of an art scholarship benefitting up to six Year 12 students each year. Pop was not an artist, nor had he pursued a career in the arts – after wartime service, he

bred sheep and horses and ran a property –but the memory of those happy years in the Art School inspired him to hope that others might also benefit from involvement with the arts. From its commencement in 2011, the Geoffrey (Pop) R. Fink Scholarship has supported 57 students to complete their Year 12 studies through financial assistance and by encouraging creativity. Applicants for the scholarship are required to submit a portfolio of work on a chosen theme leading up to the submission of a final piece of artwork, as well as participating in an act of service to the Art School.

Piper Carter-Williams (Yr12 Ga) sees the scholarship as a great opportunity. “It provides incentive for me to follow my passions in artmaking outside school, and also provides a reason for me to aid the School’s Art department in ways that both interest me and are helpful to the art community. The GGS programme has influenced a massive change in my appreciation and practice of art. I enjoy all the teachers’ passion for the subject and practice; this is a trait which I think particularly rubs off on students, along with their hardworking and persistent nature. This school has a lot of wonderful resources to offer art students and it makes the experience of practicing and learning about art all that more enjoyable.”

William Patston (A’17) was pleasantly surprised when he was awarded the scholarship.

“Among the artistic community at GGS, it was quite a big deal and a special thing. With the support of the scholarship I was able to buy some camera equipment, which led me to develop my photographic skills further and move into the career I am in now. I am the marketing manager for a festival and events company that runs music festivals, mainly in Victoria but also across Australia. In the role

there is a lot of creative elements and practical skills like filmmaking and photography. When I was at GGS, I was definitely encouraged to be adventurous and creative.”

In 2014, more opportunity for artistic students became available thanks to the generosity of John Simson (Cu’73) and his wife Belinda, the founders of Simson Cards. Passionate about encouraging creativity, they established the Sir Russell Drysdale Visual Arts Scholarship to support a new student in Year 10 or 11 who demonstrates outstanding ability in practical and theoretical aspects of the visual arts.

“John and Belinda Simson’s longstanding support for the Visual Arts has been simply outstanding”, said Head of Visual Arts, Dr Peter Bajer. “Apart from being the initiators and main donors of the Sir Russell Drysdale Scholarship, for over 15 years they have been exceptional supporters of our Visual Communication Design programme”.

“Many students have had guided tours of their design studio and warehouse and have learnt from John and Belinda about the design, production and distribution of greeting cards, stationery and paper products.”

Named after Geelong Grammar School’s most famous alumni artist, Sir Russell Drysdale (P’30), the competitive and means-tested scholarship established by the Simsons sets a high bar. Just two students have been awarded the scholarship since its inception. The first recipient, Tillie Pridham (Cl’19), is now in her final year of a Bachelor of Media and Communications at RMIT, and working part-time as a television production assistant. She would like to make documentaries in the future, and credits Geelong Grammar School, and especially her scholarship, with enabling her to identify this interest. “The scholarship completely altered the path I was going on. I thought I wanted to do architecture, but then I did media studies in Year 12 with Martin Beaver and loved it, and that led to my degree. That subject wouldn’t have been possible at my previous school. Having the experience of living at Geelong also made the world feel less scary, and meeting all the other creative students and communicating with lots of different people also made a big difference to my outlook on life.”

“Having the Sir Russell Drysdale Scholarship is extremely important”, explained Peter Bajer. “It enables an exceptionally talented visual arts student who could not otherwise attend Geelong Grammar School to commence study at our school. The scholarship enables the chosen students to explore their talent and to grow as a student. Because of their passion and commitment to the Visual Arts, students that have been scholarship recipients have led our classes. Tillie was among the top students in VCD Media and VCE Visual Communication

Design. She received the Mary Finnin Prize for Communication Design and the Noël Nicolson Prize for Outstanding Artistic Talent in Senior School. She was also our 2019 Visual Arts Captain.”

Peter is passionate about the Art School. An art teacher at GGS since 2001, he was appointed head of department in 2012. He is dedicated to promoting the visual arts within the School community and encouraging students to explore their creative interests. Through the highly anticipated annual Coriobald portraiture exhibition, and the Artistin-Residence programme, the visual arts are made accessible and inviting, benefitting not just students studying art but anybody with an interest in the arts. Two additional art buildings – the Sinclaire Centre and Hirschfeld-Mack Centre – support the greater number of students now studying art, but the original Art School building of 1937 remains in use, almost entirely unchanged since it was opened. The top floor painting studio, filled with a warm light and surrounded by wonderful HirschfeldMack frescos, is especially well suited to its purpose. Pop Fink would feel quite at home in it and pleased to see contemporary versions of his younger self, happily absorbed, as the Corian described in 1937, “not only in the creation of forms but also in the contemplation of beauty” – just as he had hoped.

The Future is Sustainable

GEELONG GRAMMAR FOUNDATION 36

Environmental sustainability is a serious matter at Geelong Grammar School, not only because the School and its community face the responsibility shared across the planet of tackling the climate crisis, but also because of the location of the Corio and Timbertop campuses within areas of significant ecology. “Sustainability is critical to the School’s current and future success”, explained Andrew Cochrane, Geelong Grammar Foundation board member and past parent. “We want the School to go into the future confident and able to weather future challenges.”

With this in mind, the Foundation has supported the appointment of a sustainability manager to coordinate all aspects of the School’s response to environmental issues. Dale Martin, who commenced in 2022, is responsible for everything from providing environmentally sustainable design (ESD) advice for new buildings, to increasing biodiversity and indigenous planting across all four campuses. “The sustainability manager role moving forward is the sustainability conduit across each campus, the curriculum, and the community”, explained Dale. “By embedding sustainability across our other ‘three Cs’ [campus, curriculum, community] we are empowering the community to make effective decisions that will positively impact our society and environment.”

In his first year in the role, Dale implemented a four-phase programme, beginning with an initial scoping of the School’s current environmental impact and emissions baseline via a process of data analysis and community consultation. Based on Dale’s findings, a Sustainability Policy was drafted and endorsed by School Council in October 2022. Then, several short-term priorities were actioned, including the installation of solar panels at the

Toorak Campus and embedding sustainable design into the Corio masterplan. In the final phase, an annual action plan was developed to ensure the School maintains a balanced approach to tackling sustainability across operations, curriculum, student action and community engagement.

said Dale. “As a business, sustainability makes cents. As educators, teaching and demonstrating sustainable business practices and lifestyles means we are arming our students with the tools to minimise their own ecological impact, preparing them for future careers that will demand this skill set.”

Students were closely involved with drafting the Sustainability Policy, and students of all ages are motivated and enthusiastic about addressing the challenges of meeting the School’s sustainability targets. “Their optimism can only be described as infectious, especially when you inform them that 332 solar panels and 400 LED lights were installed over their Christmas break!” A particularly exciting project was the redevelopment of the Middle School garden at Corio, when students helped to plant over 200 native grasses, trees and shrubs, which also laid the foundation for an ongoing Indigenous flora seed collection

“I am hopeful we can embed the culture of sustainability and make the ambitious targets in the policy a reality and in doing so position the School as a true leader in this space”,

and propagation programme. This important work was recognised with the ‘best school garden exhibiting biodiversity’ award by the Victorian School Garden Program in 2022.

In particular, Dale works closely with Matt Limb from the Creative Education team in developing the leadership skills of the student-led Environmental Action Team (EAT). Last year, the EAT took up the banner of activism in response to Viva Energy’s proposal to build a floating gas terminal in Corio Bay. Students were concerned about many aspects of the proposal, including the threat to natural habitats around the bay, the apparent focus on non-renewable energy, and the associated health and safety risks of the refinery’s extension so close to the School. Led by Millie Forwood (EM’22) and Dan Tadmore (Cu’22), students attended a rally held in Geelong in April and created a video for the GGS community explaining their concerns. Along with Creative Education collaborator Matt Limb, Millie and Dan, Timo Lan (P’22) and Dibs Fitzgerald (Yr12 Fr), led a student panel that was invited to present to the state inquiry panel assessing Viva’s proposal. Their efforts were reported in national media channels, helping to draw public attention to this critical issue.

Dale is hopeful that as the sustainability programme continues to develop, increasing numbers of students will choose sustainability projects and hobbies, supporting the School to meet the ambitious goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2035. “For the Foundation to back this initiative demonstrates a commitment to the staff and students of Geelong Grammar School that their future is front and centre”, said Dale. “It means that staff are now supported in their decision making, ideas and aspirations by a resource with the core responsibility of bringing those

ideas to life. Most importantly it demonstrates to the students that the Geelong Grammar School community cares about their future and that this fantastic institution will not only endure but thrive into the future.”

Globally, 2022 proved to be a challenging year for investments. Following a number of years of strong returns, the Geelong Grammar Foundation experienced a negative return on both pools of investments in 2022. Under the prudent management of the Allocations and Investments Committee, the loss was limited and below the industry average for the year.
