From the Principal

Dear Terracians, Welcome to the final edition of The Terracian for 2018.

Yet again, this edition has a kaleidoscope of stories that feature the diversity and richness of the Terrace Family.

This year Terrace students have again shone both in and out of the classroom. The recent Celebration of Excellence was a showcase of the talent, and recognition of the success and achievements of students. The talent in music, academics, sport, culture and spirituality was very much evident for all to see.

As another group of young men leave the College and become Terrace Old Boys, I wish to acknowledge and congratulate the 2018 Year 12 cohort. They have been fine Terrace Gentlemen and I know that they will also be noteworthy Old Boys. They will continue the tradition of Old Boys such as Pat Shears and Richard Dunn who feature in this edition.

On the cultural front, Terrace students have excelled during 2018.

Events such as the Jazz Night and placing second in the State Chess Finals have been some of the cultural highlights this year.

This year we say farewell and thank you to Mrs Julie Quinn after 24 years as mother, teacher and leader at Terrace. Julie’s contribution to so many students, staff and parents has been significant. On behalf of all the Terrace Family, I thank Julie for all that she has gifted to Terrace and wish her all the best for the future.

year the GTOBA has financially supported three students through the Edmund Rice Bursary program and contributed to phase two of the refurbishment of College Hall, which was officially opened at the Vintage Terracians Morning Tea in November. As a College community we farewelled Br Fergus Gagen who worked and lived at Terrace for many years and was the College’s original archivist.

As the Christmas season approaches, I take this opportunity to thank all the Terrace Family, past, present and future, for their support throughout 2018 and I look forward to an even more successful 2019.

Dr Michael Carroll College Principal

The Gregory Terrace Old Boys’ Association (GTOBA) continue to strongly support the College with their reunions, including this year, the inaugural meetings in San Francisco and New York. This

Celebration of Excellence On Friday 2 November the Celebration of Excellence was held at the Brisbane Convention Centre. The gala celebration was witness to the outstanding achievements of the students in both academic and co-curricular excellence. The evening was also a chance for the students involved in Music to showcase their talents to the College community.

Congratulations to College Captain Jacob Montaner for gaining Dux of the College. Congratulations also to all of the students who received an award on the night. It is wonderful to have an opportunity to share and celebrate the hard work and achievements of so many.

Celebrating our staff This year, as a part of Catholic Education week,Terrace acknowledged the staff who have served at the College for 20 years or more. This group of people have over 500 years of collective Terrace experience and wisdom and have contributed inside and outside of the classroom to the lives of thousands of Terracians and colleagues. These people, along with the other staff, give generously to the building of our mission to serve and form the young men of Terrace to know that living a life for love, justice and peace is indeed wise.

Vale Br Fergus Gagen

Words taken from a letter written by Br Marty Sanderson to the Christian Brothers

Br Gagen was born Thomas Glenn Gagen in Esk in South East Queensland on 18 February 1931. He was baptised as Thomas Glenn and known as Glenn to his family.

He was the eldest of four brothers, who all attended St Mary’s College in Toowoomba, and was one of three to join the Christian Brothers. He entered the Christian Brothers in January 1948 and received the Habit on 11 February 1949. Fergus moved to the Scholasticate at Strathfield in 1950 and after completing a year of teacher training, he made his first vows on Christmas Day in 1950.

Br Gagen began his teaching career in Sydney teaching in both primary and secondary schools for ten years.

He completed a Bachelor of Arts at Sydney University at night, while teaching during the day. During these years Fergus made his Final Profession on Christmas Day in 1956.

In 1963, Br Gagen was commissioned to work in teacher education in Rabaul in Papua New

The Terracian

Guinea where he remained for the next 19 years. He remembered that time as very special, making strong and lasting friendships. Whilst in PNG he studied and completed his Bachelor of Education as an external student with the University of Queensland. On his return to Australia Fergus worked in Brisbane at St Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace and at St Edmund’s in Ipswich. In 1985 he became the

Principal of St Patrick’s College, Shorncliffe until 1990. He spent the next three years as Principal of St Mary’s College in Toowoomba.

In 1994 Br Gagen returned to Terrace as Community Superior and taught until 2001. After retiring from full time teaching in 2001, Br Gagen began working as the College Archivist and the Editor of the Terracian magazine. Both were jobs he enjoyed immensely as it combined his love of history with a connection to the Old Boys of the College.

At the end of 2010, Br Gagen retired from his duties at Terrace.

He gave his life to his faith and his brotherhood and when he left, he saw the end of an era as the last remaining Christian Brother at Terrace. After leaving Terrace, Br Gagen joined the Christian Brothers’ community at Nudgee. In 2013 he moved into the Holy Spirit Nursing Home due to ill health and passed away on 16 August this year aged 87.

December 2018

Br Damien Price captured an essential part of Fergus:

“

Fergus loved to read, loved history and had a great sense of story.

He would love to chat and in the chats he had a remarkable ability to lead the conversation back onto you. Fergus had a gentle quiet sense of humour; could laugh at himself and the situations we got ourselves into. Fergus was a wise man. On one occasion a young Brother in the community was driving down the front driveway of St Pat’s Shorncliffe with a 22 seater bus full of children and towing a trailer - obviously heading off on some sort of camp. Standing next to Fergus, the Principal, I asked, “Where are they going?” His reply,

Past Principal Mr Peter Chapman with Br Fergus Gagen

“Don’t know!” I replied, “Doesn’t that annoy you?” His reply, “I allow everyone one major fault - that is his - and Damien - you have yours too, just as I have mine!” ..I suspect Fergus’s no fuss approaches to life flowed over into his spiritual life as well.

A Stradbroke savior

Written by: Kelly Hawke

Once a physiotherapist treating some of the world’s best rugby union players, to a volunteer helping those who get into boating trouble on Moreton Bay, Richard Dunn is giving back to his island community.

You might find North Stradbroke Island’s Richard Dunn strolling along Home Beach at Point Lookout with his wife and their dogs, enjoying island life. However, you are more likely to find him in Moreton Bay on ‘North Stradbroke 1’, the 18-year-old Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR) vessel helping out stranded boaties and performing emergency medivacs.

8

The Terracian

For eight years, Richard has been giving up his time to assist with VMR Straddie. This is a vital service for many locals and tourists to ‘Straddie’.

Richard is one of 20 active crewmembers, who volunteer their time to help those in trouble on Moreton Bay 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Richard doing physio on Michael Foley who played for both the Queensland Reds and the Wallabies.

December 2018

Richard Dunn’s story Born in 1949, Richard was raised in Brisbane and attended Terrace from 1959 to 1965. He went on to study at an agricultural college in Gatton before landing his first job as a trainee stock and station agent for Elders GM, working out in Western Queensland towns including Roma and Charleville.

In 1970, Richard received the call up to perform his two-year military national service. He served in South Vietnam in 86 Transport Platoon providing specialist support to the Ready Deployment Force (RDF) and the Logistics Support Group (LSG).

Returning to Brisbane, Richard decided to study sports physiotherapy. He also became a Fellow of the Australian Sports Medicine Federation. He was passionate about sport and physiotherapy, with a focus on soft tissue injury. This led him to work with some of Australia’s premier athletes and rugby union players.

with the likes of Michael Lynagh, the Ella brothers, Andrew Slack, Tim Horan, Jason Little and John Eales. He also travelled to the UK, France, South Africa, Argentina, New Zealand, Fiji and Samoa to work with these players during rugby tours.

In 2000, Richard and his wife Debra decided it was time for a sea change. They left Brisbane to live at Point Lookout. Debra took over the Point Lookout Newsagency and Richard started up a ‘fly in, fly out’ consultancy, dealing with soft tissue injury management for workers in the mining industry.

By 2010, he decided to reduce his workload and spend more time being involved with the Straddie community through volunteering.

Richard always loved surfing and the water, so a friend suggested he join VMR Straddie, despite having little boating experience.

After joining, Richard quickly ‘learnt the ropes’ through specialised training. He’s since acted as president, been involved in countless search and rescue operations for the boating community and assisted with urgent medical evacuations for locals and tourists who are sick or injured. He is now leading a fundraiser for a much-needed, new VMR Straddie rescue vessel.

VMR Straddie relies heavily on donations to keep this vital service afloat and they are calling on the local community and those who enjoy the island to support this worthy cause. Members of the Terrace Family may well have used the services of the VMR themselves as it is a popular sport for Terrace families to holiday.

If you are sick or injured on the island, it is the dedicated VMR volunteers who work around the clock to take you safely across the bay.

Richard worked in the sports medicine teams of well known rugby clubs like Brothers, the Queensland Reds and even the Australian Wallabies. He worked

The Cape conservationist

Written by: Mrs Bianca Wagner

For the past 30 years, Pat Shears has lived and worked in the remote rainforest of Cape Tribulation. His interest in conservation as a child saw him find his home and life in far north Queensland.

Pat came to Terrace for his Junior year in 1963. While he was at Terrace, he became interested in joining the priesthood, but after some time he realised his life was not suited to the profession and the need to help support his four sisters saw Patrick head to the bush to work as a jackaroo.

In 1969 he joined the 1st Australian Civil Affairs Unit in the Australian Army and was sent to Vietnam for his tour of duty, returning to Australia in 1970. In 1971 Pat travelled to Cambodia to help Catholic Relief Services in village projects.

However, due to the increasing presence of the Khmer Rouge, Pat returned to Australia.

10

The Terracian

For ten years Pat lived on the Sunshine Coast where he was a member of the Alexandra Headlands Surf Life Saving Club.

Pat raised money and awareness for the SLSC during this time. In 1984 he made the move to Cape Tribulation in the Daintree in far north Queensland where, as a Park Ranger he became heavily involved in conservation.

When Pat first started working in the Cape there were very few rangers and good local knowledge and bush skills were required to survive. The area was well known for smuggling and trafficking at the time and Pat often found himself in serious danger.

In 1993 Pat exposed the Foxtail Palm

smuggling activities in Cape Melville National Park. Pat found himself in the political and media spotlight. It was the first time the remote location had been identified by the authorities as a high smuggling area.

In the 30 years that Pat has spent on the Cape, as both a public and private ranger, he has seen, heard and discovered some amazing hidden secrets in the area, including rare Aboriginal cave paintings, remnants of Portuguese explorers from the 17th century and a hidden cave outside of Townsville used by the Communist Party in 1939 and again in 1941 when it was declared illegal by the Australian Government. The party hauled a large printing press into the caves where

December 2018

it produced an illegal newspaper. While the printing press has gone, there is still evidence of life, including a hammer and sickle painted onto the roof of the cave. If it wasn’t for Pat’s keenness to explore and share the area, these discoveries may never have been made.

Pat’s work in conservation has seen the establishment of National Parks and green zones throughout the Cape. Preparing the untouched rainforest required an enormous amount of hard work clearing and cleaning areas to encourage tourists to discover the area. Cape Tribulation is the only area in Queensland where the rainforest meets the sea.

Today, Pat still lives in the area in a house he built himself, choosing to live a simple life.

There are no mobile phones, no connection to the internet, no doors, no electronic gadgets and no television. Pat welcomes all to his home with his unique hospitality and willingness to help others. His name has become synonymous with Cape Tribulation and all it has to offer.

Immersion

Written by: Mr Damien Cuddihy

Central to the Year 10 curriculum at Waterford Place are the Immersion programs conducted in the final three weeks of Term 3 each year.

The various programs aim to provide a unique experience that seeks to enhance the knowledge, humility and wisdom of our students. In 2018, Terrace students were humbly invited into special communities in Cape York, Cherbourg, Timor, India, Fiji, Milpera, GTOEC at Maroon

12

The Terracian

and the Western Suburbs Special School to spend extended periods of time. Whilst not all immersions are embedded in service learning, they all provide an experience that will spark boys’ curiosity, inspire their desire to know more and contribute to their growth and formation. We believe this will be crucial as our students complete this important transition year and move through to Senior schooling.

The legacy of Edmund Rice continues in Timor-Leste

Written by: Emily Faller, ERFA Programs Director

Edmund Rice Foundation Australia (ERFA) is excited to announce a new partnership with Mary MacKillop Today to continue the legacy of Edmund Rice and the work of Comunidade Edmund Rice delivered by the Christian Brothers in Timor-Leste.

Commencing in 2019, ERFA will work together with Mary MacKillop Today to: • support community development initiatives in Timor-Leste that promote opportunity in the areas of education and economic development; • create opportunities for children and youth to enable them to live bright, healthy and self-sufficient futures; • ensure delivery of sufficient training and structures to support a financially viable and sustainable vanilla growing industry in Railaco Parish;

14

The Terracian

• achieve sustainable development outcomes while adopting best practice development principles.

Mary MacKillop Today has been active in Timor-Leste since 1994 and their focus aligns closely with ERFA’s purpose of supporting the education of the most vulnerable.

Through their office in Dili, and with the support of ERFA and our donors, Mary MacKillop Today will take on the coordination and on-the-ground governance of the Comunidade Edmund Rice programs (CER) projects in the community of Railaco in Ermera District. This will include education programs as well as livelihood programs supported by St

Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace and the Terrace Timor Network (TTN). ERFA will provide strategic and program design support, monitoring and evaluation, and financial support.

Following a scoping trip in November 2017, which involved members of TTN, it was evident that there is a strong need for the continuation of the education programs commenced by the Christian Brothers in the community, particularly the support of teachers in nine preschools via training and salary payments, as well as additional activities to allow for the successful long-term exit out of these programs. Part of the strategy is targeted training of teachers so they can transition to governmentpaid positions, and workshops for parents in the community to address low attendance rates in preschools and to ensure the whole community is empowered to support education.

The visit also identified that there is a need for an effective exit plan from

December 2018

the livelihoods programs, including the card-making and vanilla program, so that the individuals involved have the opportunity to develop independent and sustainable futures for themselves and their communities.

Over the next five years, ERFA will support delivery of teacher training to the 23 Teka teachers in the Edmund Rice kindergartens.

Teachers will be trained to deliver the national curriculum as well as undertake workshops in classroom management, teaching methodology, creative classrooms and child protection. They will receive ongoing mentoring and guidance as well as Tetum language resources.

Due to the poor health conditions in Timor-Leste, teachers will receive

in-depth training on how to implement basic health in the classroom in-line with the national curriculum using creative and interactive methods, as well as supplementary resources such as posters, books, puppets and music.

Whole school environments will participate in awareness raising events and training for parents and competitions for teachers and students on various key health challenges. Hygiene kits will be distributed and a small grants program will operate to help support the schools to obtain essential infrastructure or equipment that is inhibiting them from implementing healthy practices.

Parents play a vital role in early childhood education, yet many parents in Timor-Leste do not have the skills in literacy and numeracy to support learning in the home.

Around 240 parents will receive training through workshops to support in-home learning including basic reading exercises, fine-motor activities, arts and craft, positive discipline and music. This will support

them in taking an active role in their child’s education.

The “Vanilla – Beans of Hope” project supported by TTN has had great success this year with the first crop having been harvested and sold.

ERFA will continue to support this project to ensure its sustainability. In 2019, we will fund the salaries and further education of the two trainers who work with 43 farmers in the community. It is our hope that these farmers will form a cooperative, working together to establish a successful industry.

ERFA is excited about our new partnership with Mary MacKillop Today and we look forward to working with the St Joseph’s Gregory Terrace community to continue supporting education for the people of Timor-Leste.

If you would like to get in contact with the Edmund Rice Foundation, please email or call Jarrod Turner, Donor Relations Manager at jturner@edmundrice.org or 0481 905 290.

GPS 100 finale

Written by: Ms Zoe Morgan

The official 100th birthday of the GPS Association, 20 September, coincided with the final day of Term 3 for students at Gregory Terrace. During the Term’s final Assembly, staff and students were able to enjoy the GPS 100 movie trailer, entitled 100 Year Strong, featuring students, families and staff – past and present – from the entire GPS community.

The official birthday also saw the launch of the GPS 100 website gps100.org.au, which provides a treasure trove of photos and information from each member school of the Association. The website is the start of a collective history of the nine GPS schools and highlights the collective contribution of all schools to the ‘Spirit of Fellowship’ that has permeated the last 100 years of the GPS. The Virtual Museum and GPS History Makers sections are both brimming with fascinating Terrace history.

16

The GPS website itself gps100.org.au was refreshed and relaunched at the start of Term 4. The site now provides a much more user-friendly platform to access all GPS information and results.

It is wonderful to see the Terrace Junior Swimming team in the Trophy Room after their Championship win in Term 1.

The GPS Track and Field Championship Event on Saturday 3 November also saw the culmination of the GPS Centenary Year celebrations. The finale film GPS 100 Years Strong premiered on the day and has been widely shared

across social media. Featuring GPS legends from each school, and amazing footage collected across the year, Terrace were thrilled to have been able to involve Br Barry Buckley, OAM (GT Old Boy, 1951 – 1952; Terrace teacher, 1961 – 1969; and Terrace Headmaster, 1973 -1981) in our contribution to the project.

We look forward to sharing more from our interview with Br Buckley in the near future.

Moments captured in time Written by: Mrs Bianca Wagner

Thanks to Denis Scanlan, GT 1935-45, the Terrace Archives is now in possession of photos of the College and a taste of student life in the late 1930s. Denis took the photos in 1936 as part of a school photo competition.

One of these photos featured in the 2018 Terrace Calendar.

His son, Liam Scanlan, visited the Archives this year to share the story of the man who took the photos.

Denis Scanlan’s father Martin emigrated from Ireland to Australia in 1913. Martin Scanlan and Elizabeth O’Keeffe were married on 24 October 1917. Martin bought the Alliance Hotel at Spring Hill on 5 January 1927. However, the Scanlan family only moved into the hotel in 1934.

Denis wrote a family history in 1992 and shared his memories of his father and his introduction to Terrace: “Second to his God, Martin Scanlan’s love was his family. His patience and tolerance were almost limitless. My greatest memory of him is that we never had a cross word between us.

Martin did not count the cost where his family was concerned. In June 1935, my father personally escorted me to St Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace. There I was enrolled by the Principal Br Kearney. Br Kearney was a native of Carrick-on-Suir, where his parents had a public house. In his early days at Gregory Terrace, Brother Kearney had written the school song, based on “Men of Harlech”. Martin Scanlan always looked on education as a life time investment.”

Martin and Elizabeth Scanlan’s only son Denis began at Terrace in 1935 in Year 2. He was one of only a few who came to Terrace at such a young age. In his time at Terrace, Denis made many lifelong friends and the Christian Brothers instilled in him a love of learning that he would pursue throughout his life. He was an avid reader and he attributed this to Br ‘Doc’ Campbell’s influence.

Denis completed his Senior year at Terrace in 1945. His devotion and loyalty to Terrace never waned and he would always wear a red and black tie to any formal occasions.

Denis often said that his years at Terrace were the most formative and influential years of his life.

He was also proudly the longest serving Terracian having attended the College for ten years.

Denis would be very proud and thrilled to know that his two grandsons, George (Year 7) and James (Year 5) Scanlan are continuing the Scanlan family tradition at Terrace for this and hopefully many generations into the future.

TERRACLICIOUS Written by: Mrs Mel Josephson

The Terrace Ladies Group held their spectacular Terralicious ’18 event at Brisbane City Hall on Friday 8 September. Members of the Terrace Community gathered together to raise funds for the Conor Tweedy Campaign.

Champagne flowed and fashion was on show as an incredible $55 000 was raised. A resounding success for the day. A big thank you to Hyundai, McKinney’s jewellers and Brisbane City Council who contributed close to $10 000 towards the fundraising efforts.

The TLG also held a Mothers’ Retreat on 6 August, a special day for mothers who want to take part in #friendraising – an opportunity to get together and relax and come together as a community. The mothers enjoyed a delicious brunch prepared by Kiss the Berry and had the opportunity to make Kokedama, Japanese moss balls. It was a fun and relaxed morning for all involved.

The TLG has been involved in events at the College throughout the entire year. From the Senior Mass and Induction at the start of the year all the way through to organising the Staff Christmas lunch at the end of the year.

Terrace Remembers

Written by: Mr David Giles

The events of the Great War of 1914-1918 are most often remembered in Australia on ANZAC Day, which commemorated 25 April 1915, the day our soldiers first entered the fight, storming the beaches and heights of the Gallipoli Peninsula. While the Dardanelles campaign was itself a military failure, the determination and courage of our troops remains a source of inspiration – and also of deep sadness for so many young lives lost.

Studying the Great War poets with the Year 9 boys, watching them being struck by the horror and the grief that the poets who were present in the trenches so powerfully described, it seemed so important that we as a College community made some act of commemoration on the 100th Anniversary of the end to that horrific violence. It also became clear how hard the boys were finding it to picture the scale of fatalities: how could we illustrate for them the fact that 62 000 Australians had died in the bloodiest war in our nation’s history?

So, with the support of a dedicated team of volunteers, a project was created to place 6200 commemorative labels on blackpainted boards, each one of those

24

The Terracian

stickers representing ten Australians who lost their lives in World War One. We also put out a call to the broader Terrace Family, asking them to contribute the names of anyone who served in the war so that their great great grandsons and nephews could take a moment to remember their ancestors and place a named label on those same boards. Staff were invited to send in names as well. As a result, including Gregory Terrace Old Boys, there are almost five hundred named labels on those boards.

Families did not just send in names: some emails we received included photographs and service records, diary entries and family memories.

There were stories of courage, including two relatives who had been awarded the Victoria Cross

for exceptional gallantry, and heartbreaking stories of families who suffered so much: one family lost four of their six sons, and a widowed mother learnt of the death of two of her boys in one single, terrible letter.

Both of them had lied about their ages to enlist and were killed aged 19 and just 16 years of age. As tragic as these were, perhaps the saddest replies included the same, simple phrase, “He has no known grave.”

The intention was not to glorify war.

It was to remember, to honour, to respect, to try to teach our boys about the scale of what happened, the impact that it had on a yet young nation – an effect that still ripples through our families, especially in the memories of our elders. In my own case, my maternal grandfather fought in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, the same regiment as the war poets Robert Graves and Siegfried Sassoon. Joining up in 1914, he was in a Battalion of over 1000 men. Of the men who joined up with him, he was one of only nine to make it home. He could never talk about what he witnessed.

So, we as a College bear witness to all that sacrifice and pray that nothing like it is ever allowed to happen again.

Lest we forget.

Terrace Flashback Traditionally, Term 4 at Terrace is the term for the GPS Track and Field competition. To celebrate the sport that has always been on the Terrace calendar, we Flashback over the decades and celebrate one of Terrace’s oldest sports.

Before the GPS was introduced in 1918, the competition was restricted to inter-school. Although limited, the competition was popular amongst the students. The 1915 Yearbook

states that the Annual Sports event was held at the Exhibition Grounds with around 500 people in attendance.

1924 – John Thomas O’Halloran, GT 1926, won the Junior Cup in his first year at Terrace. In the 1926 Yearbook it states that O’Halloran was the best sprinter at the College.

1932 – George Doneley, GT 1932, performing the scissor jump which was once the only jump you could do when doing High Jump.

Variations of this scissor jump were used until American Dick Fosbury used the ‘Fosbury flop’ to win the 1968 Olympic gold medal.

1971 – John Hempenstall, GT 1972.

John was Vice Captain of Athletics and was the unbeaten winner of the GPS Shot Put competition for successive years.

1947 – William Sheehan, GT 1947, running in the 1947 annual competition. On this day William won the Open 100 yards and the Open 220 yard race. The College Museum is home to the silver salad servers William won in the 100 yard race.

1934 – John Reid, GT 1939, recovering the egg he dropped in the Egg and Spoon Race during the annual sports carnival.

1966 – Tony Cook, GT 1966, winning the GPS Open Mile in 4 minutes and 31 seconds. Tony was School Captain, Captain of the 1965 Athletics team and winner of the 1966 Athletics Cup.

The Gregory Terrace Foundation, 32 Years Strong Written by: Mr Damian Wright, GT 1983, Chair Gregory Terrace Foundation

Our Foundation’s 32nd year saw the culture of philanthropy we are known for go from strength to strength. Since its establishment in 1986, over $20 million of tax deductible donations have been given in support of generations of Terracians, from current parents, past parents, Old Boys and friends of the College. This year alone, donations are set to tip $1.7 million.

Our $10m+ Join the Journey Campaign powers onwards, with gifts and pledges now reaching $9.5 million. New pledges made in 2018 have reached just over $1.75 million.

Our 2018 Annual Giving Appeal has raised $295 314 (up by 130%) in gifts from 392 donors (up by 135%), many of whom are Old Boys from our successful inaugural ‘Giving Day’ in May. Of that amount, it is wonderful to see that 44 Year 12 families made a

Valedictory Gift from their Enrolment Bond to the Foundation totalling $48 500 (up by 36%). Our sincere thanks.

We are fortunate to have a committed Foundation Board. Special acknowledgment must go to Br Ted Walker’s 30 years of service to the Foundation. We also have three dedicated staff members in Mrs Lea Walker-Franks, Director of Development/Foundation

What a wonderful time to be ‘investing in futures’ at Terrace with $1.62 million granted to the College earlier in the year towards the construction of the new Student Wellbeing Centre and funding the College Bursary program for 23 boys whose families would otherwise not be in a financial position to afford a Terrace education. I would like to acknowledge and thank the GTOBA for its ongoing commitment to providing funding for three of these boys.

Thank you to each family behind each gift and pledge including our newest donors, the Old Boys residing in the United States of America.

Terracians in the USA

San Francisco Lunch on Sunday 30 September

Written by: Mrs Lea Walker-Franks, Director of Development/Foundation Executive Officer

A year ago, the Gregory Terrace Foundation embarked on a bold initiative to develop a United States Network for all ages and stages. The network’s aims were to develop links between Terracians, amongst other Australian expats, as well as anyone in the Terrace Family who regularly travels there for business. It was decided that joining The Australian Independent Schools USA Foundation (AISUSAF) as an affiliate school would help facilitate this, while also enabling US tax deductibility for donations, a win-win situation to help establish our ‘friendraising and fundraising’ US Network.

Initially, only 15 Old Boys living in North America were known, several strategies were employed to help track down as many as possible and quickly. These included worldwide broadcast emails to every Old Boy for assistance, reaching out via LinkedIn, personally calling those we knew of and enlisting their help in growing connections.

The Terracian

A Terracian article in December 2017 announcing that the initial ‘Terrace US Ambassadors’ were Mr Jonathan Breene, GT 1984, Mr Michael Breene, GT 1985, as well as Mr and Mrs Gary and Lorilie Cunningham (now ‘Alumni Parents’) and that there would be two events there in 2018, helped the search substantially.

The AISUSA Foundation Cup won by Terrace for 2018

December 2018

By the time Dr Carroll, College Principal and I headed off, we knew of 79 Old Boys ranging in alumni between GT 1955 – 2017. Events were held in San Francisco and New York and meetings were held with those who couldn’t attend during the week. Each attendee received the new GTOBA tie graciously gifted by the Old Boys’ Committee. We hoped that Old Boys would provide a vote of support of this initiative by ‘giving back’ and hopefully generate $50 000 in gifts and pledges. Overall USD $166 550 (AUD $228 663) was gifted and pledged, which was added to the $10m+ Join the Journey campaign total. Heart-warmingly, one Old Boy has decided to provide a gift in his Will as a legacy to Terrace, yet another incredible outpouring of Terrace’s culture of philanthropy.

Mr Daniel Hargraves, GT 1979, has agreed to be nominated to join the AISUSAF Board in 2019. Mr Tony Fingleton, GT 1957, and Mr Damien Tutt, GT 1997, have also become ‘Terrace US Ambassadors’. All great outcomes.

If you would like to receive information on US events, please contact me directly, as Mr Oliver Badenhorst, GT 2006 said in New York, “We are mightier together!” #NeverTerraceApart Dr Michael Carroll with Dr Paul Tiernan, GT 1987

20 Year Reunion Coordinators Mr Dan Barry, Mr Stuart Fitzpatrick and Mr Matthew Sorbello GT 1998.

Written by: Mr Joe Tooma, GT 1973, President Gregory Terrace Old Boys’ Association

This year has been one of new initiatives and huge growth for the GTOBA. I would like to congratulate the GTOBA Committee and thank all of the Old Boys who attended a GTOBA event in 2018, which has seen a 30% attendance increase. Thank you also to all of our 2018 Reunion Coordinators for helping to ccreate memorable reunions for all Old Boys.

Last year commemorative ‘Heritage Jerseys’ based on a reproduction of the 1st XV jersey of 1977 were produced. When the replica jerseys went on sale it was discovered one player from the premiership winning team of 40 years ago never received his jersey. Jersey number 22 was due to be given to Mr Michael Kent, GT 1977, but in the euphoria after the event he never actually received it. Michael kept his involvement in rugby and is currently a well-known referee at GPS matches. The GTOBA Committee set out to complete one of the Heritage Jerseys with the correct badge and red number on the back as a gift to Michael. It was kept by the GTOBA for a low key but surprise presentation at the 2018

Back to Tennyson Day - Terrace Vs Nudgee match on Saturday 11 August, only 41 years late.

Dr Michael Carroll, College Principal and Mrs Lea Walker-Franks, Director of Development travelled to the United States and met with numerous Old Boys residing there to establish the ‘US Terracian Network’.

Each of the Old Boys were gifted with a GTOBA tie and so far, $228 663 has been donated to bursaries (full details page 28).

A highlight of being the GTOBA President is welcoming our youngest Old Boys into membership. This year saw 235 new Old Boys become GTOBA members. These departing

Year 12s leave with a legacy of mateship and friendship which was forged through the strong bonds that were developed during their time at Terrace. This will continue to grow outside of the College gates as a valued member of the Terrace Family and the GTOBA. Many thanks to all Old Boys and the Terrace Community who have supported the GTOBA events and initiatives this year. Planning for next year is well underway with 2019 marking the 120th anniversary of the GTOBA. The Annual Dinner will appropriately mark this special occasion on Saturday 27 July 2019, ‘Back-To-Tennyson Day’. Please save the date! With an over 100% increase in attendance at this year’s dinner, we look forward to seeing even more Old Boys attend this and other signature events in 2019.

Restoring history The Ciborium story Written by: Mr David Toohey, GT 1977, Vice President Gregory Terrace Old Boys’ Association

The GTOBA recently had the privilege of saving and restoring a piece of Terrace history.

It all began after the conclusion of the GTOBA Mass earlier this year, when before the AGM, Fr James O’Donoghue, GT 1982, revealed a rather old Ciborium. A Ciborium is a container designed to hold the Eucharist, and this one had been at Terrace for a very long time.

The Ciborium was showing signs of extreme wear, had a missing piece of ornamentation and appeared to be a faded silver. The missing ornamentation was one of the decorative grapes adorning the rim and base, with only a hole indicating where it once sat. It was engraved with the words ‘Presented to Rev. Fr. Torpie from the Parish of Ipswich 2811-41. This showed it to be 77 years old and engraved right in the middle of World War Two. Venerable Terrace Old Boy John Torpie, GT 1929, was born in 1910 and attended Terrace in the 1920s. He was ordained as a priest in 1934 and served as Bishop of Cairns from 1967 till 1985. He used this Eucharistic vessel in celebration of Masses until his death in 2000, aged 90.

Due to the historic importance of the Ciborium, it was agreed at a GTOBA Committee meeting to investigate restoration. It was established that the cost of recreating the missing decorative piece would be prohibitive so an engraved plate in the same shape was designed to fill the gap. The plate has the words

‘Restored by GTOBA 2018’.

The quote for the engraved plate and new silver plating was approved, and the Ciborium delivered to Lance Hutchinson of S Cook and Sons Silversmiths for work to begin. It was not until Lance disassembled it that he discovered it was originally gold plated and not silver. The interior surfaces, not exposed to air, light or polishing for 77 years did not match the tarnished exterior and was clearly gold. During the war years, gold was rationed and only a poor-quality plating would have been possible at the time, hence the well-worn appearance. Today it can be restored and plated to a much higher standard that will last much longer in pristine condition.

The GTOBA Committee unanimously voted to upgrade the restoration to authentic gold and the work was begun. It was noted that Canon Law states ’the sacrament must be against noble metal’, therefore gold is used for holding the Eucharist.

Lance did a magnificent job, and the finished product was delivered back to the Terrace Chapel. This historic item can now serve Terrace into the next century.

Before – almost 80 years of wear and tear

After – Faithfully restored

Terracians old and current stand together to sing the College song

On 9 November, the Vintage Terracians Morning Tea took place in College Hall. This popular event on the Old Boy calendar welcomes and celebrates our Vintage Terracians who attended Terrace 50 plus years ago. This is an opportunity for these Old Boys to catch up over a coffee with old friends outside of their class mates at year group reunions.

David Pincus, GT 1951, addresses the morning tea

This year there were over 120 Vintage Terracians in attendance with many having their grandsons join them during morning tea. The “Oldest Old Boy” in attendance was Mr Brian Bourke GT 1939 who started at Terrace in 1936.

His seniority was respectfully acknowledged on the day. College Principal Dr Michael Carroll was in attendance along with past principals Br Tony White and Br Barry Buckley, GT 1952.
