COLLEGE PRINCIPAL’S PAGE

elcome to this mid-year edition of The Terracian which will highlight some of the many and varied activities across the life and times of the College community.

The issues of boys and boys’ learning, particularly as it applies to those Middle years of Schooling have been a focus from this learning community which has seen a number of curriculum reform initiatives undertaken in the middle years of schooling at Terrace.

These have included: • the introduction of the highly innovative Year 10 Immersion Units with the Year 9 Exploration Units to be implemented in the last week of term two. These units effectively engage students in a learning project engaging the skills across curriculum areas in a real life situation utilizing resources and personnel of the extended community. The Year Ten units are three weeks in length whereas the Year Nine exploration units are held over the week.

• the restructuring of Year 8 to include smaller class sizes of twenty-five and the introduction of Core teachers. This process has ensured students entering the upper middle school are well known, appreciated and taught by a significant smaller number of adults compared with the traditional model of first year high school. The research clearly articulates that effective teaching and learning takes place where the relationships between students and teachers and support structures such as the House system are clearly in place.

• the mapping of curriculum from Years 5-8 and the introduction of outcomes-based education.

• the formation of curriculum planning teams amongst the teaching staff to plan integrated, challenging learning experiences for students.

It has been these initiatives which have been extremely well received by students, parents and teachers which have become a model of curriculum reform for other schools. Terrace has a reputation for leading the way with this type of reform.

As a community of educators we are continuing to explore how we might further realise our curriculum vision for Years 9 and 10 through a variety of extension opportunities from the core areas of English, Mathematics, Science and Religious Education particularly as it may further enhance the educational opportunities and outcomes of Senior Schooling and Tertiary Studies. In addition with the successful introduction of the Year 10 Immersion Units and the new Year Nine Exploration Units based on a philosophy of experiential learning we hope to explore the possibility of developing some non-core modules in the areas of: • leadership studies • community based learning utilizing the resources of the community • service learning To further realise these opportunities, the College with the financial support of the Terrace Cardinals Group has established the Terrace Cardinals Staff Project which will provide a number of the teaching staff with the opportunity to be involved in a research project tapping into best practice on both a national and international level with outcomes to development of programs that will further develop our educational vision for these important years of boys’ schooling.

The College is also exploring a number of options to expand its city campus to realise this educational vision.

Internationality is very much part of our educational landscape and as I write this article we currently have five students: Gerard Forrest, Michael O’Keeffe, James Lee, Joseph Burke and Luke Moloney accompanied by Mrs Caroline Waters from our Faculty of Exceptional Learners representing Australia at the World Future Problem Solving Championships at Lexington University in the United States of America. It is a credit to these young men and Mrs Waters to be able to represent their country and College on this occasion. The Terrace Old Boys and Rotary International have traditionally provided the financial means for two of our Year Eleven students to be part of a students exchange program with Chaminade College in St Louis. This program is a six weeks exchange that takes place in term three. This year the program has been further extended to include ArchANZAC DAY AT TERRACE, 2004 bishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati which belongs to the same Mari- The College Principal and the President of the GTOBA are both anist tradition as Chaminade new in their positions this year - Mr Peter Chapman at left and Dr Dom Katter at right.

CHECKING OUT THE STORY OF TERRACE

his photo shows how things were in this part of the College in 1986. At the back, right, is the floor of the handball court showing a utility and a grader.

The wall of the handball court is clearly seen.

At the back, rear, can be seen - believe it or not! the two lowest floors of College Hall. Almost all we can recognise now is the verandah railing. At this time the verandah was closed in for classes. The archways at the left are part of the steps which provided access to the top floor. It is completely different now with the concrete steps located at the western end of the building which is where they were when this building was built with a second storey in 1890.

At mid-picture on the left is the “Junior Shed” which was a small covered area used by the “Juniors” as the Year Ten students were called in those days when the Year Twelves were “Seniors”. The area beside it with the upright supporters is where the builders left their timber while it was waiting to be used.

Finally in the foreground we see the thick stone wall that used to surround most of the College site Brother McCarthy said it used to make the area to the right - where the old toilet block was - look like the prow of a ship. Parts of then original wall can still be seen between the Founder’s Room and Gregory Terrace where the Tunnel starts or near the steps leading from the primary playground to the junction of Rogers Street and Gregory Terrace.

There are also steps leading down to the present Pool area and, in the lefthand bottom corner, the beginning of “terraces” going down to the basketball floor level. These terraces were used for assemblies during the building period. All this is now replaced by the Campbell Centre, College Pool. dressing areas and Physical Education offices.

CHAMINADE AND TERRACE STUDENTS VISIT EACH OTHER

CHAMINADE Learn as much about the House System as possible,” were the COLLEGE words that Mr Jim Gerker (Chaminade Principal) said to us before we left for Australia in late January. We never knew how much we View of the could possibly learn and experience. main College From the moment we stepped upon the stones that make up the building. physical Terrace we could feel the life that is the people of Terrace.

From the welcoming grin of Mr Price to the good-natured jokes of The photo the students, Terrace is truly a family. We jumped right into classes at the foot of this page as well as the school activities. Cricket intrigued us, Volleyball fired was taken us up and the Induction Mass moved us as we began to see the life on these of the Terrace community. [See April Terracian, p4, for photos. Ed] steps.

In the classroom we experienced an atmosphere of learning that See also p8 showed us why Terrace was a stronghold of academics while, at the same time, being a place with perspective where people can have fun.

From Mr Celegato’s Chemistry class to Mr Broad’s Health and Physical Education class we saw students working, learning and growing.

As we moved through Brisbane and experienced its families and WELCOME communities, we saw how Terrace has a tradition of excellence that MEAL can be seen by everyone who encounters a Terrace gentleman. When Mr Connolly first spoke about the uniform we thought he was just AT being strict, but as we learned to pick our students on the street we saw the difference that the Terrace uniform makes.

CHAMINADE As we danced the night away at the Terrace dance, drenched in sweat, light and laser beams, we saw the Terrace community have fun.

The spirited rendition of Terrace to the Fore after the last song really exemplified the spirit of the school. Even after a long, hot dance the VIEW IN THE DINING ROOM AT CHAMINADE Front table (only!) fron left: Matthew Kowalski (12R), Oscar Close (11K), Terrace community never forgets to tell everyone who is best!

Andrew McKechnie (9B reaqr view), CC* student, David Kriukelis (10K), During the camp at Maroon we saw one of the best parts of the William Peverill (11M), William Hickson (12K) House system: boys in Year 8 and Year 11 working together to achieve common goals. From canoeing to hiking to building fires, we saw INFORMAL IN FORMAL boys building friendships and house spirit that will last for the rest of CONCERT, their Terrace careers. Through teamwork in a beautiful landscape we RUTH could almost see boys becoming men.

HARDY While we sit here and reflect on our experience, we realise that it PARK, wasn’t the activities, sports, academics, uniform or the house system PALM that made our experience one that would last for a lifetime, but it was SPRINGS, the Terrace community, the people, who make Terrace a special place.

ANZAC DAY REMEMBRANCE CEREMONY, TERRACE, April 23

T

his year’s Remembrance of Anzac Day was on Friday April 23 and out Guest of Honour was GTOBA President for 2004, Dr Dominic Katter (GT1986-1990) who wore his uniform as an Officer of the Australian Naval Reserve. His Address follows: “No human being could fail to be deeply moved by the sacrifice of those we honour today. Today we recognise specially those from this College and this country who sacrificed their lives for the freedom we enjoy. For all hours and for all time their names should resonate with us. Their names are your names - the list of them is distinguished and long. Terrace men died at Gallipoli, Kokoda and Changi and in many more places. Look at the gentleman next to you and you look into the eyes of these men.

“Yet their sacrifice was not in vain. Their sacrifice was an expression of every attribute that this College espouses including faith and loyalty. That you are integrated with such noble principles must fill you with strength and pride. Seize the opportunities these gentlemen have given to you. They were brave and game men, We shall be the same men.

“Use their strength and their sacrifice as your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to increase your faith when there seems to be little cause for faith and to create hope. Let their sacrifice mould you for your future MR CHAPMAN AND SOME GUESTS Dick Grant (Veteran, GT1940), Mr Chapman, John Reid roles as leaders, not just of industry or the professions, but as leaders of the (Veteran, GT1939), Dr Dom Katter (GT1986-1990) who Catholic faith. If we fight to do the right, Ours shall be their fame, then. Through delivered the Anzac Day Memorial Address. their actions they have dictated to us, through their sacrifice in war, what we ought to be and what we can be.

“They showed us to be proud and unbending in failure, but humble and gentle with success; they taught us not to substitute words for actions, not to seek the path of comfort, but to face the stress of difficulty and challenge; they showed us to have a heart that is clean, a goal that is high; to reach into the future, yet never neglect the past; to be serious, but never to take yourself too seriously. There will be and have been those that downgrade them and forget them. Do not let them! Who shall dare to stain our glory? Who shall mock our noble story?

“Be all you can be - be a man of faith and a gentleman of Terrace. That is what they would have wished for us.

“Their individual stories are not known well to us. In their youth and strength, loyalty and devotion they gave all that mortality can give. They deserve far more than a simple eulogy on ANZAC Day. “For these gentlemen I am filled with an emotion of admiration that I cannot put into words. They instructed us as future generations in the principles of faith. Ensure that their virtues and their achievements live on in you - on the sporting field, in the classroom, at any time ensure these men are alive in your day. Year after year ensure that you do not waste the chalice filled sacrifice that they left for us. Nothing would give them greater happiness that to see you as THEY DIED AT VILLERS-BRETONNEUX, FRANCE John Mackintosh (12T) and Mrs Pamela Goffinet (Library) young Christian Terrace gentlemen fighting above your weight in whatever you read lists of Australian and French soldiers killed at Villersdo. Do not underestimate the significance of any activity you undertake, whether Bretonneux. David Hill (12R), Compere, looks on. it be study or sport. Remember throughout your lives that they did not have the chance to do the things you do.

“Sometimes things can cloud our ability to remember. Our lives are filled with change. But through all this change and development your mission in life should remain fixed - that is to live the faith of these men. Be Men of spirit, bold, unjaded, They the haunts of fame invaded.

Everything else in our lives is but a corollary to this vital dedication. They defended, guarded and protected freedom and the faith - and so must you. Your life is one of opportunity. Do not underestimate your role as custodians of the sacrifice of these men and therefore of the Catholic faith. You are the future. It will fall upon you to ensure that our processes of society and its morality are maintained.

“For you to believe what I have said does not make you a warmonger. On the contrary, the service man or woman above all other people prays for peace, for he or she must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.

“In some far away place called heaven, I am sure that they as Terracians, look upon us today. They hear the sounds of the College lunch hour, the whispers of old College Hall, the bustle of this Campbell Centre, the mutter of a morning assembly, the war-cry, the College song, the noise of boots on concrete. They would want to be here with you again, to have your opportunities again. In the Your Conference Centre . . . for any function evening of their memory they are always Melina Puglisi with you, with us. They are with us in MANAGER all that we do.

Many students still walk to and from Brunswick Street or Central Station each day, so it’s not TOO far!

This photo also shows how there has been a great “greening” of Spring Hill over recent years. The old image of Spring Hill as a crowded slum area is long gone!

Strangely we ignored each other - they were intent on avoiding our murderous shelling; we were conscious of our own orders not to let anything hold us up.

M

artin died in Singapore as the result of a tragic accident on 23 November, 2003. He came to Terrace in 1983 as one of the Nudgee Junior bunch, none of whom had any trouble swapping loyalties from the blue and white to the red and black!

During his five years at Terrace he threw himself into both the academic and sporting life of his school with tremendous enthusiasm.

Rugby continued to be his passion and he maintained his Nudgee Junior half-back position into his Senior year at Terrace, playing in the Second XV. Rowing was his other love and after coxing for the first couple of years he went on to row, finally making the First IV. When given the option of either coxing the First VIII or rowing in the First IV he chose the latter because, in his own words, “Coxes don’t get chicks, rowers do!” He was at Terrace 1983-1987.

His good friend, Nick Fogarty, describes Martin as a person of tremendous spirit and fierce determination. “Martin was a great mate who never judged anyone for his shortcomings, he would always find positives. ” Martin left Terrace with a high TE score, enabling him to enter Veterinary Science at UQ. He had no trouble completing the five-year

course and on graduation took up his first position in Flemington, wotking with Ross Teitzel in his Equine Practice, and rubbing shoulders with such famous horse trainers as Bart Cummins and John Meagher. And so began Martin’s career as a horse Vet. From his first job in Melbourne he went on to work for turf clubs in Macau, Istanbul and finally Singapore, establishing his name as a respected Equine Veterinary Surgeon. Singapore was to be his last overseas post, as he longed to return to Brisbane and set up his own practice here, but that was not to be.

Thirty three-years was not a long life, but this young man packed more into it than many who have enjoyed a longer one.

Rest in peace, Martin, we will not forget you.

THE TERRACE SITE IN 1955 - ALMOST FIFTY YEARS AGO

TERRACE AS OUR GOLDEN JUBILARIANS KNEW IT This picture is one of a series taken by the now defunct Brisbane Telegraph of the schools of the Queensland Great Public Schools (GPS).

IS THIS NEW FOR THESE OLD WALLS?

H

as College Hall any experience with students coming face-to-face with large Australian snakes since it started being used for class activities in 1880? [See No 2 in photo above.]

Matt [At left] working with “Wild Life Presentation by Gekoes” certainly had some large snakes which he introduced to Year 8 classes recently. Some even had the chance to handle them.

Most were prepared to let others have the pleasure!

All this was part of the Middle School Science Department working towards Terrace students experiencing a variety of our Australian fauna. So many of children’s experiences of our wild life are almost nil or come via TV. Here was a chance actually to be present to a variety of wild creatures in the environment of classroom groups; but with professional animal handlers to ensure the experience was both interesting and useful; and safe!

OLDEST PARTS IN DAILY USE The Eddie’s Kitchen, the Archives, Br Con’s Room and Learning Support Lower Middle School were all built in 1875-1876.

The Founder’s Room and the Maintenance Department were added to the building in 1887.

The Year 5 classrooms were added as a second storey College Hall in 1888.

These are the oldest parts of Terrace

GERARD WINDSOR

GERRY WINDSOR’S 1937 SENIOR SWIMMING CUP The silver cup in the middle of the photo stands some 33 cms tall and is a real silver cup! Behind left is the “Roll of Honour Scroll” from the Australian War Memorial and at front right is photo of Gerald.

M

any thanks to Dr Clem Windsor (GT 1930-39), younger brother of Gerald (GT 1929-38), who recently came across the 65 year old Cup and decided to send it to the Archives.

He also sent along the Commonwealth of Australia “Presumption of Death Letter” that the family received as first news that Gerald was missing as well as the two papers in the picture above. The photo of Gerald in his RAAF uniform was part of a coloured print designed and written by Sister Kevin Mary (deceased) of the Mater Hospital.

All three were received by the Windsor family at “Knock Brid” on Gregory Terrace a year after Gerald had disappeared off Norway. “It is with deep regret that I have to inform you that information has been received from Air Ministry, London, to the effect that all efforts to trace your son, Sergeant Gerard Patrick Windsor, have proved unavailing and it is feared that all hope of finding him alive must be abandoned.” January 8, 1943. .

J

udge Townsley passed his final law exams at UQ in 1955 and was admitted to the Bar of Queensland. He was appointed to the Hong Kong Judiciary as Magistrate.

He returned to Queensland and in 1996 the legal authorities in Fiji appointed him Judge of the High Court in Suva.

Unfortunately the recent racial upheavals in Fiji meant he had to return to Austraalia. We welcome his return to this country and wish him well.

BRYAN BAKER, RIP

risbane Catholic Education executive director, David Hutton, described Bryan Baker as a person of faith and commitment who was a man of unquestioned integrity and humility.

Bryan (GT 1959-62) grew up with his three brothers at Chermside. While he was still in primary at St Ambrose’s, Newmarket, he was hit by a council bus and spent six months in hospital or at home; and his injuries prevented him from taking part in most sports.

After university studies he became a science teacher and from 1971 to 1981 he was on the staff at Terrace. On his way back to Brisbane from Mackay to take up his Terrace position he was a passenger in his own new Austin 1800 car when he woke Bryan Baker, teacher at Terrace, 1973 up just as the car plummeted into the Calliope River - another brush with death!

At the end of his time at Terrace he was accepted as the first lay person to be appointed Deputy in any Christian Brothers’ school in Australia when he was appointed Deputy at Nudgee College. That appointment says a lot about how he was regarded by the Brothers!

After Nudgee College he became Principal of St Patrick’s College, Gympie, where he was instrumental in forging a positive culture in the school’s community following the amalgamation of the former Christian Brothers’ school with a Sisters of Mercy establishment.

Finally he was selected as foundation Principal of Siena College at Sippy Downs on the Sunshine Coast from 1996 until a few weeks before his death. [Picture below right comes from The Catholic Leader and shows Bryan Baker as the Foundation Principal of Siena College at Sippy Downs.] Here he built the school from its foundation to one of the best

acclaimed intitutions in the region and a jewel in the crown of Catholic Colleges throughout the Archdiocese of Brisbane.

Dr McManus had known Bryan Baker as a fellow Terracian and a fellow Catholic educator and Principal and he showed his (and Terrace’s) support for the new College in a number of ways incuding an early visit to Sippy Downs with the Terrace College Student Leaders to present Siena College with a new school flag to their design. This friendly interest and support continued over the years.

Just two days before his death on March 21 at Buderim, nearly a thousand people flocked to the College for a tribute to Bryan where speakers made mention of his professional competencies along with his commonsense approach and ability to get things done. But they also heard of a man with great humility and an iron will who Paul Lutvey (Senior 1980) put his students above all Bob Lette (Senior 1960) other considerations.

Anthony O’Dwyer (Senior 1983) He is survived by his LEVEL 22, CENTRAL PLAZA ONE wide, Daphne, and three 345 QUEEN STREET BRISBANE AUSTRALIA 4000 children; and his mother GPO BOX 2026 BRISBANE Q 4001 DX 306 TELEPHONE (07) 3224 0222 and three brothers.

We thank Mr Wilkes, now living in Wollongong, for giving the Archives this baton together with his First XI 1958 Cricket Cap and also his Prefect’s hatband (with gold thread) as well.

12 - The Terracian, June 2004

S

tudents from the pre-1975 era at Terrace will be sure to remember the “swagger stick” awarded each year to the most efficient Cadet of the Terrace Unit, at one stage the largest in Queensland. In 1975 the Federal Government ceased funding a Cadet Unit at secondary schools, though schools could finance their own units.

The photo [at left] also shows his First XI cap - undated in 1958 and his Prefect’s hat band with the College crest outlined in gold - hard to see in a black-and-white photo. These articles will be suitably annotated and put on display in the Archives.

Perhaps a reminder again to those going through old storage places, etc, of past students: memorabilia is always interesting in Archives! Anything in the very old Terrace navy blue and white??

GPS SWIMMING, 2004

s promised in the last issue, here is a Report on GPS Swimming that was held too late to be included then. The Championships proved to be a very close result for schools placed from fifth to eighth.

Terrace swimmers recorded an astounding 27 personal best times out of 32 individual events. Congratulations to Robert Fogarty (9K), Joshua DiBella (9T), Michael Carroll (11T), Edward Barry (9W) and Joseph Tuton (11M) who were our individual place-getters.

regory Terrace had a very successful day at the GPS Schools Head of the River, held recently at the Wivenhoe Dam. Congratulations to the Under 15 8th and 9th Quads and the Under 16 3rd Eight and 2nd Eight for stirring victories on the day.

The First VIII came a close fourth in the Head of the River.

Of the seventeen crews that raced on the day, eleven crews recorded places.

The Rowing Club recorded its best results in seven years with a hard fought second place in the Old Boys’ Cup- the final result being decided on the last race of the day. Congratulations to all rowers on an impressive performance.

The Open 1st VIII rowed themselves to a standstill and were one of the leading crews coming into the final 300 meters, eventually coming home in 4th position only some 1.8 seconds behind the winning crew from A.C.G.S. The Gregeory Terrace supporters group cheered home the boys with one the largest and most vocal groups seen in years.

At the conclusion of the individual events Terrace was in eighth place (14.5 points behind fifth). Our final placing at GPS would be decided by our results in the Relays. Once again Terrace showed its depth by placing second in three Relays (Under 13 freestyle, Under 14 medley and Under 14 freestyle) and third in another (Open freestyle).

In the relay events Terrace placed fifth, a fair indication of the depth and talent of the fifty swimmers who represented the College.
