Welcome to this first edition of the Terracian for 2007 which captures something of the energy and enthusiasm of the community during this first quarter of the new academic year.

The College community has a long tradition of altruism and generosity. On Sunday 4 March the College Family Open Day was also an opportunity to bless and officially open Waterford Place the new precinct for our Year 10 students. This project, which has been in the planning for some three years, reflects the contemporary generosity of many parents, Old Boys and past families who have, through the hard work of the Gregory Terrace Foundation, supported this wonderful project.

Waterford Place consists of a number of major elements. There are thirteen learning spaces all of which are laser linked to our central data server on the main campus. The students in these respective learning spaces are supported by a wireless tablet/laptop program that further enhances the teaching and

learning processes of the classroom. A central feature is the Edmund Rice Theatre with seating for just on two hundred and forty, complete with all of the facilities of a modern multi-media environment. This space is complemented by the Dr (Jack) Buckley Room which will facilitate video conferencing and provide a planning and meeting area for staff and students. The Martin O’Regan Science Centre is home to two multi-media science laboratories which will cater for the demands of an innovative science program.

The Waterford Place Learning Centre is another environment that provides students and staff with an interactive group learning environment. The area of the top floor provides a sport and recreational area that will further complement the sporting and physical education programs of the College. We see these facilities continuing to enhance pedagogy at Terrace in a way that will enrich the learning of our young men of Year 10 at this stage of their development.

Marc Prensky, a world renowned expert on how students learn, says it is not so much curriculum, hours at school, class size or assessment methods – it is engagement and right relationships. Today’s young men seek and need more engaging approaches to learning and positive relationships and this is indeed the focus of the organisational and pastoral structures that exist in this project.

In the main foyer there are three glass sculptured panels. These magnificent panels were created and presented by one of our grandparents, artist Mrs Catharina Hampson, who worked with her grandsons and the six young men, Jonathan Danaher, Samuel Elliott, Harry Hobson, William McGahan, Ben McTaggart and James Powell who visited Waterford in Ireland last year in order to establish an understanding of the Edmund Rice story and its relevance for us in this context here. Also in the foyer are six art panels which have been presented by two very creative art teachers, Mrs Alison Price-Stone and Mrs Alison Rooney who worked with the young men of Waterford. The six frames capture those places in our story that bring us from Waterford, Ireland to Waterford Place, Spring Hill.

This complex is reflective of a community that is able to dream boldly to further enhance the curriculum at Terrace. The combination of the Jesus and Edmund Rice story is quite clear in its challenge – it is a call to educate both the minds and hearts of the young men in our care in a tradition and an environment where they will graduate and be prepared to not only make a contribution to society but a difference for its betterment.

The project would not have been possible without the efforts of many people and I would especially like to acknowledge:

Br Luke Quinn and the Trustees of the Christian Brothers; Master Planner, Mr Peter Toon; Architect, Mr Tony Macksey; Builders, F K Gardner; The College Board and College Leadership Team; The Gregory Terrace Foundation; The College Finance Committee; Staff and students who have assisted in the design of the curriculum, pastoral care and formation programs; All our donors and supporters.

In the building we have acknowledged three people in the naming of particular spaces. The Edmund Rice Theatre [Photo below] takes its name from the founder of the Christian Brothers. The Martin O’Regan Science Centre is named after Martin O’Regan who attended Terrace from 1983 to 1987. Martin had a great liking of science and was awarded the Dux of Biology in his Senior year. He was a Rower and a Rugby player. Attending the University of Queensland, he graduated as a Veterinary Surgeon in 1992 and moved to Melbourne where he trained as an Equine Surgeon. He spent his working life in South East Asia where he was well respected as a thoroughbred race horse surgeon. Martin was grateful to his parents for his Terrace education and that is the reason for the family’s generous memorial gift. [Photo top left]

The Dr Jack Buckley Room takes its name from a man who has had a long association with Terrace over three generations. Dr Buckley was Dux of Terrace in 1943, winning the Thallon Medal in Junior and an Open Scholarship in Senior. After graduating from UQ Dr Buckley operated a general practice at Newmarket for over fifty years. Proud of his Terrace heritage

Dr Buckley was president of the Old Boys’ Association in 1960-61 and he generously attended to the medical needs of the Christian Brothers for over 40 years. His extraordinary generosity is a fine example of the many ways the wider Terrace family supports the College and its values. The College is very pleased it can recognise these contributions.

Waterford Place is only part of a bigger picture and I thank the community for your ongoing support and interest in assisting all of us who work here to reach our combined goal of keeping faith in teaching and learning and graduating men of faith and learning.

Your encouragement, your practical support and your ongoing enthusiasm challenges each of us – both staff and student – to optimise what we do in this place.

Presentation of Buchanan Medals, 2007

For forty years (1885-1925)

Mrs Jessie Buchanan presented two medals each year for two of the best academic students at Terrace. Since 1997 a copy of the 1889 medal - now named The Scholars Medal - has been presented to each College student gaining an OP1 score at the annual Scholars’ Assembly.

This year the Guest of Honour was Archbishop John Bathersby who spoke of the manifestation of the Kingdom in the world that Christ restored. He reminded us all that Christ has equipped us with talents for the purpose of making the kingdom present to those we meet. He concluded, “Today I would like to congratulate your Principal, Mr Chapman, the staff, the parents and friends and finally you, the scholar-students, who are rightly being recognised. I say to you, take this award you rightly deserve, but please be as determined are you are able to be at your age to make a difference to the world that stretches out ahead of you. Or as Christ would put it, seek to contribute to God’s

kingdom according to the talents that God has given to you.”

The 2006 College Dux, Mr Daniel North, shared his story, telling of how confidence was a key element to ultimate success.

We congratulate Oliver Badenhorst, Timothy Beckman, Lachlan Cairns, Robert Calvisi, James Carroll, Richard Fernandes, Richard Fox, Jason Lancini, Christopher Maguire, Dominic Maher, Matthew Marsland, Sulan Mendis, Victor Neep, Daniel North, Thomas Pagliaro,Joseph Puglisi, Matthew Randell, Nicholas Tellam, Benjamin Treffene, Jordan Wan, David Wijeyakulasuriya and Alex Wood - and indeed all the Seniors of 2006 who achieved such great academic results.

Chaminade and Moeller High Exchanges, 2007

Chaminade College is in St Louis (Missouri) and Archbishop Moeller High School, is in Cincinnati (Ohio). Our students are part of

an exchange between the two Marianist Colleges in the USA and Gregory Terrace. In addition to enjoying a Terrace education and experiencing life in Australia, the visitors have the specific task of furthering their knowledge of the House system and how they can assist its ongoing implementation in their own schools. Later in the year four Terrace students will be selected to travel to the two US schools.

CHAMINADE STUDENTS AND THEIR HOSTS Jack Banage, Chaminade; Matthew Marchesi (12T), Kyle Berry, Chaminade Mark Jeffrey (12M)

The Assembly also recognised the efforts of a student who made a significant academic improvement across the year. This special award was won by Mr Jack Mullins who also contributed to the College in many other ways.

In the words of the prayer said by all present at the Scholars’ Assembly: Go out! For need calls loudly in the winding lanes and you must seek Christ there.

Congratulations!

Terrace Ladies Group 1980!

If behind every great man there is a great woman, behind every Terrace student there is a caring mother! Each year a group of these mothers form the Terrace Ladies Group which has always been a quiet, but very efficient group working for the general welfare of the College.

The 1980 Terrace Ladies Group worked together so well and formed such good fruiendships, that they have continued to meet once a year for the last 26 years for lunch. This has been held in a member’s home, or in recent years, at a restaurant. [See picture at right]

While all their sons have long gone from Terrace’s classrooms and playing fields, some of the group now compare notes about their grandsons at the school. Their most recent get-together was on October 5 2006 at the Citron Restaurant in Wilston.

The very capable 1980 President was Pat Carroll. Sadly the group lost a good friend in 2001 with the death of Dot Hackett - four of her grandsons are now at Terrace!

The ten who were not at the Reunion, but are all happily remembered, were: Mary Gooden, Merle Harris, Tessa Jones, Norene Kelly, Roslyn Munro, Margaret O’Kane,

Flags

John Joseph Downs

John (Jack) Downs, like many other Terracians of that time, gained a “Scholarship” at St James’ School and went to Terrace for his Junior. This was in 1932-1933. He did well in the Public Service exams and entered the Public Trust Office and was working on deceased estates when he turned 21 just after WW2 began and was in the first age group called up for military training.

Jack continues: After twelve months in the Army I enlisted in RAAF Aircrew in March 1941. Like most Air Force applicants, I had hoped to become a pilot, but my medical examination revealed a small defect in

my vision and my admission papers were

in Sandgate I was drafted for overseas training in America, but Pearl

Harbour changed all plans and I was trained in South Australia and NSW and graduated in August 1942 as SergeantObserver. I was posted with about fifty other aircrew for further training in England. We sailed across the Indian Ocean to Durban where we waited for four weeks for a ship which took us to Cape Town. After two weeks we boarded an old British troopship for England. However, next stop was, amazingly, Recife in Brazil, then to Trinidad and so on to New York!

It was now Christmas Day 1942 and with hundreds of American servicemen on board we sailed the next day for England with a convoy of 38 tankers and four navy ships. After a severe storm which scattered the tankers in all directions we arrived safely in port at Bournemouth three days later. After months of training and waiting for bottle-necks to clear we joined a Wellington

crew of Australians which moved to the Halifax II bomber. And then, finally, just after Christmas, 1943, we arrived at 466 Squadron eventually located at Driffield. We became familiar with the Halifax III and commenced our tour of duty on 15 February 1944 with a raid on Berlin.

I will never forget the incredible loss of our planes: Berlin, 24 March, (73 aircraft missing), Leipzig (79 missing)) and Nuremburg (98 missing). I remember sitting in my blacked-out navigational cubicle below the pilot hearing him say ‘There goes another one - and another’ referring to our bombers being shot down by fighters. After the Nuremberg disaster, Bomber Command switched to shorter range targets in France and Belgium preparing for D Day. [In his book “Where Glory Awaits” about Terrace at War, Martin Kerby says that of the 125,000 air-crew in Bomber Command, 44% were killed.] The last operation of my first tour was 5 August, 1944.

Six months later following a rest period I was posted to 96 RAF Transport Squadron for transport flying in the Middle East and South East Asia. We flew in Dakotas to all parts of Africa and India. Then when war ended in August 1945 all RAAF personnel in India were sent to a holding camp in Calcutta and I arrived home in November 1945 after a three year absence and five years in the forces.

My story has a happy ending: It was at Bournemouth that I met the girl who would later become my wife Audrey and we became engaged before I was posted to the Middle East. I was expecting a posting back to the UK for us to be married. The sudden surrender of the Japanese after the dropping of the atom bomb changed all that. Instead I was repatriated home and Audrey came to Australia a year later so that we could be married in Brisbane. We have been married now for more than sixty years and I look forward to more happy years together, God willing.

Vanuatu Immersion revisited!

Gregory Terrace

Old Boys’ Association

March 2007 was a big month for the Terrace Old Boys. Our Annual Mass was well attended and took place on Sunday 4 March 2007 at Terrace. A morning tea and the AGM followed the Mass. The Old Boys then made their way down to Waterford Place for the opening of the wonderful new facility for the Year 10 boys.

The inaugural St Joseph’s Day lunch was held at the Irish Club on Friday 23 March 2007. The lunch was well attended by all members of the Terrace community including Old Boys, parents and friends.

The Terrace Golf Day will take place at the Indooroopilly Golf Club on Friday 31 August this year and the Old Boy’s Annual Dinner will be held at Tattersall’s Club on Friday evening 12 October 2007.

In May 2007 the Terrace Old Boys will launch our new Mentoring/Careers Exploration program which is being set up in conjunction with careers experts from the school. The program will be accessible via the Old Boys’ link on the Terrace web site.

If you have any enquiries concerning the Terrace Old Boys, please contact one of the committee.

Paul Howard, President

During the visit of Terrace students in 2006 to Eratap Primary School, the parents of the students prepared a feast in their honour. What our Terrace students did not realise at the time was that this represented quite a sacrifice on behalf of the villagers.

Although it mainly consisted of vegetables, cooked in coconut cream , heated by hot stones, the chickens would have been expensive. And the time needed to prepare the meal would have been considerable.

Eratap is a poor village, but they went out of their way to make us feel welcome.

Pat Forrest (now 11K) tells of the raising of the money sent to the school. “After the inspirational experience of Vanuatu, we, the students of the Vanuatu Immersion, decided to make a difference. We had seen the level of poverty only some two and a half hours by plane from our own comfortable homes.

With that concern very much on our minds, we raised money to build a classroom for one of the poorer villages. By selling numerous chocolates, arranging a sausage sizzle and through the generous offer made by Mr Price to double whatever we raised. We are now proud to say that we have made a difference, a difference that has helped the less fortunate.”

Old Boys’ Mass, 2007

Many Old Boys and their families, and others were are attending the Open Day joined in the celebration of Mass. A feature was the naming of “all those who have died in our community since we last met, especially.....,” and “We pray to the Lord.”

Following the Mass, the Old Boys and their friends went for Morning Tea and this was followed by the Annual General Meeting of the GTOBA during which the members of the Executive for 2007 were voted in and the outgoing President and other officials were thanked for their services over the last years. The President’s Report and the tabling of the Treasurer’s summaries of the last year followed.

Listed below are members of the Executive. The Committee Members will be named in the next issue.

“My Gap Year at Konan High School, Kobe” at Konan School, Kobe”

After graduating Terrace with the class of 2005 I chose to defer my studies at the University of Queensland and spend a gap year as a teaching assistant in Konan High School, Kobe, Japan. What motivated me to make this decision was foremost a desire to learn. I was determined to further my study of the Japanese language and longed to experience life in a different culture. A year later, I hoped to return to Australia a more mature, confident and independent individual.

I am happy to say that I have enjoyed a fantastic and rewarding experience. I had the opportunity to travel to Tokyo, Kyushu, Kyoto and other famous places, I saw and even performed in traditional noh plays and had my 18th birthday overseas. This experience has matured me and I think it stands me in good stead to begin a Bachelor of Arts/Laws. I can now speak a foreign language and have already experienced some of the world. On top of this I also met and befriended many people whom I am sure will remain friends with me into the future. I believe that my experiences from a year overseas equip me well to deal with whatever the future may hold for me in my life in a global village.

Inaugural Mass for 2007 - at the UQ Centre

It was an Inaugural Mass with a difference for Terracians. Recently there has been a great increase in the number of parents wishing to join with their sons on this day of beginnings. This resulted in more and more students losing their positions inside the Campbell Centre and getting outside positions where seeing and hearing were difficult. Using the UQ Centre made sure everybody was seated and could see and hear the whole ceremony. Most thought the bus trip to the University was well worth it.

The celebrants were Fr Dan Grundy (GT195158) and Fr Gerard Hall SM. With Mr Peter Chapman, Principal, were Br Paul Conn (representing the Province Leadership Team), Dr Bill Sultmann (Director of Edmund

Rice Education), Professor Paul Greenfield

AO (Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University of Queensland) and Professor Alan Rix (Chair of the College Board). There was a very supportive assembly of parents and grand-parents for the Seniors of 2007.

After a gathering song, all were welcomed by Mr Chapman, Principal. Fr Grundy then blessed the Senior 2007 badges. After the opening prayer and the Liturgy of the Word, the badges were presented. Visiting guests, Board Members, College Leadership Team members, House Deans and Heads of Faculty did this. The badges were pinned on by the student’s parents as a sign of the partnership between the home and the College. Then followed the Gospel, Fr Grundy’s Homily and the Commissioning of the Seniors and their Leaders.

The Seniors were asked in turn by other students, by their parents, by the staff and by the Principal to promise to do their best by their courage, their integrity, their discipline and their respect for the dignity of others to lead the College in 2007. Then the Senior Class made their Promise to try to do that.

The House Captains, the College ViceCaptains and the College Captain were presented with their badges by Mr Chapman, Professor Paul Greenfield and Dr Bill Sultmann. They were then presented to the community and, led by the 2007 Captain, Andrew Quinn, made their Leadership Pledge. The Reflection was provided by Andrew Quinn, 132nd College Captain of St Joseph’s College.

Then followed the age-old ceremonies of the Mass, perhaps for the first time in this beautiful hall. After Communion came the final prayer and Br Paul Conn commissioned the staff and the parents to build a community of care and respect, tolerance, acceptance and forgiveness for the students.

Finally the parents stood with Fr Grundy and joined in his blessing of the Seniors.

Mrs Shannon Pradella and the Terrace Ladies Group hosted the afternoon tea at the conclusion of the celebration.

Blessing and Opening of Waterford Place

After the acknowledgement of the original owners read by Phillip Crossin (W), the Dean of Waterford, Mr Ray Celegato, [photo below] welcomed all those who showed their interest in the new venture by their attendance.

The Scripture was read by Nick AllenDucat (M) and the student leaders in “The Mission” were Matthew Oberhardt (K), Andrew Britz (B) and Nick Russell (B). Mr Luke Gribble spoke on behalf of the staff members at Waterford Place.

Addresses were given by the Principal; Mr Peter Chapman, Mr Brian Flannery (Chair of the College Foundation) and Br Luke Quinn, (Province Leader of the Christian Brothers in Queensland).

Ash Wednesday

On Ash Wednesday, Catholics use the age-old symbol of ashes to show their sorrow for sin. At right above Adrian Smith (Windsor Captain) marks ashes on Joseph Summer’s (8R) forehead. Also all Catholic people make some sign of veneration to the cross. This varies from a genuflection, a kiss, a hand on the cross and a bowed head, depending on where you are. At far right Rory Dawson (Kearney Captain), Aaron Tutt (Treacy Captain), Nick Britz (Barrett Captain), Dom Jordan (Reidy Captain) and James Blair-Swannell (Mahoney Captain) venerate the cross in their way. Also Lent is associated with some kind of personal sacrifice or going without something desirable. Part of the student’s Lent at Terrace is to use some of their own money to donate to such good causes as to help students much worse off than they are.

The last of “The Windsor Boys”

Not many men have such a family that seven of their sons carry the casket from the church after the funeral - and the casket had been made by two of these sons. Two daughters with their families added to the joy of regular gatherings where “Ampar” and “Amar” were a great centre of love for the many grandchildren.

Dr Clem Windsor, 1923-2007, (named John Clement) was a quiet achiever. He was the youngest of “the Windsor boys” so well known at Terrace in the 1920s to the 1940s. Clem first appeared in the “Terrace” Magazine as a six-year old in 1929. Both Clem and Gerry seem to have been accepted into Terrace some years before they should have been!

After school he hoped to join his brother Gerry who had run away to join the RAAF and was later killed over Norway. Hearing problems at the recruitment depot ended his career to his great regret as he saw his three brothers join the armed services.

He later “did service” in 1968 with a fivemonth volunteer period as a surgeon in Vietnam and later made eight self-funded tours of the medical services at Vunapope Hospital near Rabaul in PNG..

These experiences certainly helped him at the Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania where he and his friend Bill Maguire helped to tend victims of the massacre in 1996. They were first into the Broad Arrow Cafe.

After playing rugby and cricket at Queensland Uni, Clem was selected with fellow Terrace Old Boy “Wallaby Bob” McMaster to play for Australia. He was also selected for a Wallaby tour of the British Isles, France, Canada and USA. At the end of this fabulous tour he returned to England to complete his studies. It was here he met Patricia Lee whom he wooed and married in six months in 1953.

When he died they had been married for 54 years and he wrote, “My retirement is a busy and happy one and Patricia remains the central figure in it and I could not wish for more.” Congratulations to Clem and Patricia, their nine children, their twentythree grand children and their first greatgrandchild.

Photo 1: CLEM WINDSOR, EMINENT DOCTOR Clem, his two brothers and his father were all awarded the highest honour a University can give “Doctor of Surgery (Honoris Causa)”. For three of the one family to have the honour is quite unique. Perhaps the Windsors were quite unique!

INTERNATIONAL Clem always relished his Rugby experiences until years caught up with him. He was always interested in Terrace Rugby.

So many stories were told at the liesurely family funeral about adventures, mishaps, missing bungs and Clem and boats!

Harry, the eldest Windsor brother, wrote that “Family and family life pervaded our school days”. And it certainly pervaded Clem’s life. May he rest in peace. Vale Clem

Photo 4: PRESENTATION TO WINDSOR GRANDSON, 2006 Mrs Catherine McKechnie, President of the Performing Arts Association presents Alex Bell with an award which was also presented to other Year 12 students who had made such a contribution to the co-curricular programme at Terrace. This was done in October, 2006. Also shown are Mr Chapman (Principal) and Tim Beckman (School Captain, obscured).

Mr Chapman (Principal) said it all during the week. “Our rowers performed magnificently at the Rowing Premiership to win the Old Boys’ Cup in a close encounter with the Anglican Church Grammar School.” The Old Boys’ Cup was first presented in 1988 as it seemed appropriate to honour the entire Rowing Club for the good work done over the day of the championships.. Since 1918 the day’s main event had been “The Head of the River” which was a race for the First Eights from each school. This year’s First VIII Race was won by Brisbane Grammar. In 1997, when Terrace last won the Old Boys’ Cup, Grammar had won the First VIII Race. In the nineteen years of competition since 1988 on nine occasions the same school has won both the Old Boys’ Cup and the First Eight Cup.

The depth of rowing at Terrace is indicated by the fact that six of the fourteen races on the day were won by Terrace crews: Under 15, 7th Quad, 5th Quad, 2nd Quad; Under 16 2nd VIII, Under 16 1st Eight; plus Open 3rd VIII. The crews also won three 2nd places, four 3rd places and two 4th places.

Terrace wins the Old Boys’ Cup

Final points in the Old Boys’ Cup: 1 GT 106 points, 2 ACGS 94 points, 3 BBC 85 points, 4 BGS 82 points, 5 TSS 73 points, 6 NC 31 points, 7 BSHS 8 points. IGS and TGS do not compete.

The results of the O’Connor Cup for 1st VIIIs: 1 BGS, 2 GT, 3 TSS, 4 BBC, 5 NC, 6 ACGS, 7 BSHS.

Congratulations to Mr Damian Wright, Director of Rowing, to Mr Ted Stewart, Chair of Terrow, to staff, parents, Old Boys and other coaches who have worked so tirelessly with our rowers across the long season for such a magnificent result. The large crowd of Terrace students should also be thanked and congratulated for their support and sportsmanship.

Edmund Dore, 1879-1964

Edmund was the son of a farmer, Robert Dore, of Mt David, Gurtnagloss, County Limerick, Ireland, and Sarah Gregan of Knockora House, Knockora, County Limerick. Both families had lived in their districts for many centuries.

Hanora, Catherine and Edmund were born before the family migrated. There were eventually ten children in the family. They migrated to Australia in 1879 aboard the Sir William Wallace. The family first lived at Kangaroo Point and then at 10 Downing Street, Spring Hill.

Edmund’s first occupation was as a cooper (or barrel-maker) . Then he joined the Queensland Police Service. He was stationed at Biandon, Townsville and Cardwell. After becoming the first police sergeant at Tully, he was transferred to Innisfail, Mt Isa and, finally, Brisbane where he was attached to the Petrie Terrace Barracks.

He married Anne Guerin, a hotel manager in Ayr. They had five children: Therese, Robert, Basil, Joseph and Patricia. He eventually assisted his sons into sugar-cane farming in the Tully/Euramo district. Edmund [Pictured above, wearing his 1904 Australian Cap] had a distinguished football career as did his brothers, Michael (GT 1896) and Vincent (GT 1909).

As a policeman Edmund was totally ethical, a courageous and tireless worker and physically strong.

After retirement he lived in Cardwell and then Cairns, having spent some time farming with his sons. His family continues farming and cattle grazing. The Tully Sugar Mill expanded and in recent years new bridges were built, one of which was named after him.

Christian Brothers’ Cricket Week 2007

The Thirty-First Annual Christian Brothers’ Cricket Week was held at St Joseph’s Nudgee College from 17 - 23 January 2007. Many matches were played: Twenty-one Catholic Schools from across Australia and New Zealand competed in what is described as one of the largest schoolboy cricket tournaments in the world. We would like to congratulate the College 1st XI in winning the competition after defeating Nudgee College in the final. Terrace was also the only undefeated team in the carnival. Congratulations also to Hugh Norton on his selection as Captain in the CBCW Australasian XI 2007.

CIC Swimming, 2007

March 7 saw our CIC Swimmers head to Chandler for the annual competition. If the enthusiasm of the departing team was any indication we were in for an excellent day in the pool. After the freestyle events were completed Terrace swimmers could sniff victory - could this be our first victory in seven years and only our 7th in the 50 year history of the competition? The last time we held the trophy aloft our current Year 12s were in Year 5. At the conclusion of the day our trophy cabinet was certainly enhanced, we collected the Under 10 Championship Trophy, lead by an extraordinary effort from Campbell Carsley (5K), the Percentage Trophy and the overall Championship in the ‘A Grade – Purple Division’. Congratulations to Jack McMahon (7W) who capably led our swimmers, to the entire CIC Squad and to Mr Stewart and the staff involved, a job well done.

Of special importance to the students (and staff!) was that last year in the same competition Terrace finished fifth! The last time GT had won the Premier Division Trophy was in 2000! Also special to the students was the number of mums and dads who came along and supported the Terrace swimmers on the day

Final points:

1. Gregory Terrace 633 points

2. = Churchie 605 points = St Laurence’s 605 points

4. Iona College 588 points

5. Southport School 571 points

6. St Patrick’s 473 points

Terrace students in full voice at the 2007 GPS Swimming Carnival at Chandler

Led by the white-shirted Seniors, the students offer their full support to the College GPS Swimming team [At right] No doubt this support helped the team to attain 23 personal bests out of the 32 individual events of the evening. Well done, swimmers, on third place!

The supporters had plenty to cheer about!

The Senior students were quite outstanding. They scored firsts and seconds in quality fields while the Open 300m Relay was one of the most hotly contested in GPS history.

The final laps were extraordinary. NC, TSS, BGS and GT fought hard for the lead.

Finally GT was touched out of first place with TSS recording a new record while GT recorded a new College record.

Our newest swimmers produced one of the best performances of the night with an awesome display of depth in the Under 13 Relay. They recorded what we hope will be the first of many wins to come at GPS Swimming over their years at Terrace. The photo of the team is at the far right.

The picture at right shows Tom Sprenger who assisted the Under 14 age group with two individual wins, a third and a victory in the 300m Relay.

Many thanks to the swimming staff:

Michael MacDermott, Patrick Howell, Tim Harrington, Julie Quinn, Jan Cameron, Vanessa Mobbs, Bill McCulloch and Margaret Fogarty for their energy and enthusiasm. To Michael Broad and Tyron Mandrusiak for their motivation and support throughout the season.

Special thanks to Mr Michael Stewart, Director of Swimming, Josh DiBella (12T) Captain of Swimming and members of the swimming team. Also to Mr Mark Barry, Chair of the Swimming Support Group, members of the support group and all those who encouraged the swimmers.
