In the spirit of reconciliation, we, as members of the Terrace Family acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of our Nation. We acknowledge, respect and give gratitude to the Traditional Owners of the Countries on which our campuses are located.

We pay our respects to Ancestors, Elders, and leaders of the future as well as to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our Terrace Family We value the knowledge of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and recognise and honour their stories, cultures, and achievements as we walk together for mutual l beration and a truth-telling history for all Australians.

Inspired by the Touchstones we are called to be people of knowledge, hum lity and wisdom who walk in solidarity with the First Peoples of our Nation for reconc liation, justice equity and healing.

Ever Connected to the Past, Boldly We Walk Forward Together

Knowledge is our pathway. Inspired to learn, we bring wisdom into everything we do. Our journey is constant, and with every footstep we take, we are forever connected to this land upon which we walk. We will recognise the past, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who have inhabited our country for more than 60 000 years, so the future for all is just and unified.

From the Principal

Dear Members of the Terrace Family,

Welcome to the first edition of The Terracian for 2022. Despite an unusual and disrupted start to the year, the College has operated as close to normal as possible. As such, much has occurred involving members of the Terrace Family, past and present.

This edition is filled with stories and acknowledgements, further highlighting the diversity, expertise and dedication that exists within our extended community.

The start of any school year is marked with important gatherings and rituals, including the Year 12 Induction Ceremony. We have celebrated the outstanding academic achievements of our 2021 Year 12 cohort, including the presentation of the College Dux, Geordan Papacostas. This edition of The Terracian also introduces our 2022 College Captains to the Terrace Family.

Within the Terrace Family, the achievements of Terracians past and present are simply extraordinary. We celebrate the honours bestowed upon Mr Hugh Lunn and Dr Gino Pecoraro and a plethora of sporting and cultural achievements by current and past students, including Diesel Batson (Year 6), Conor Tweedy (GT 2019), and Toby Snell (GT 2020), and the strong presence of Terrace Old Boys in the 2022 Super Rugby competition. Congratulations to all those Old Boys and current students.

The Gregory Terrace Old Boys’ Association continues to forge strong links with the College and stays connected with the many Old Boys scattered worldwide. The

President’s Drinks was the first event held by the GTOBA in 2022. This will be followed throughout the year by the Br Barry Buckley AM Breakfast, the T-Bone Lunch and a series of reunions. Sadly, we have farewelled several Old Boys in recent months, and our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families.

This term, Terrace launched its Reconciliation Action Plan and the College’s Reconciliation artwork. The artwork by indigenous artist David Williams is a feature of this very special edition of The Terracian. The artwork depicts our Reconciliation message, Ever Connected to the Past, Boldly We Walk Forward Together, and Terrace’s ongoing commitment to reconciliation. The artwork will be proudly displayed at Duhig Place at the heart of our campus.

Finally, and with much less joy, the flooding of Tennyson is shown through words and pictures. The devastation to the fields and buildings was extensive, and the rebuild will take many months to complete.

I hope you enjoy this edition of The Terracian as it again highlights the richness of talent and diversity that exists in the extended Terrace Family.

God Bless.

Dr Michael Carroll College Principal

Term 1 at Terrace

Our welcome to the school year had a slightly different approach in 2022. However, after the past two years, we have become accustomed to change and have the ability to adapt and adjust to all challenges. A delayed start as a COVID precaution, a period of online learning and virtual gatherings, and then serious weather disruptions meant the challenges came thick and fast throughout the term. But we made it, and we made the most of everything on offer at Terrace.

Year 12 Induction

On Friday 4 February, the Year 12 Induction Ceremony was held at Duhig Place. Due to COVID, the ceremony took a different format to cater for restrictions. The Year 12 parents/caregivers and students gathered at various times during the day for their Year 12 Induction Liturgy. Despite the different format, this is an important ritual and a special time for our Year 12 students and their parents and caregivers. The Senior cohort has chosen the theme of Dare to Go Beyond for 2022.

As committed students, we need to strive to go above and beyond by committing ourselves wholeheartedly, whether starting a conversation or through study, culture or sport. Dare to exit those boundary zones and create opportunities and have a positive impact on others at the College.

(College Captain, Xavier Stiles)

Terrace Scholars

The culture of learning at Terrace is very positive, and we believe that it is important to celebrate academic achievement. On 8 February, we held our Scholars’ Assembly and welcomed 39 Year 12 2021 students back to acknowledge their academic achievements.

The 2021 Year 12 ATAR results were again very strong, with 12% or 24 students being awarded an ATAR of 99+, including our College Dux Geordan Papacostas, who was awarded the top mark of 99.95. Terrace congratulates Geordan and the other 99+ ATAR students on their success. Each of the students received the Buchanan Medal.

¥ 12% - ATAR of 99+

¥ 53% - ATAR of 90+

¥ Median ATAR of 91.45

¥ Geordan Papacostas – ATAR of 99.95 (one of only 32 in the state)

¥ Rory Little – top result in the state for Specialist Maths and Engineering

Dr Michael Carroll with Distinguished Academic Achievers Zachary Thompson and Geordan Papacostas

Students who received 100% in the external ATAR examinations:

¥ Rory Little – Specialist Maths

¥ Geordan Papacostas – Mathematical Methods

¥ Zachary Thompson – Literature

¥ Ethan Lewin – Film, Television & New Media

¥ Patrick Milne – Film, Television & New Media

¥ Luke Ames – English

¥ Griffin Kelly – English

¥ Geordan Papacostas – English

¥ Zachary Ellis – English

¥ Daniel Fitzgerald – English

¥ Lachlan Cairney - English

Of the Terrace graduates, 98% received QTAC offers to university, including 70% who received an offer to study their first-choice course.

On completing their Year 12 studies, eight 2021 Terrace graduates began apprenticeships.

Distinguished achievers

Geordan Papacostas and Zachary Thompson were both named recipients of the QCE Distinguished Academic Achievers Award on Friday 25 March. The award recognises students who demonstrate exceptionally high achievement across a diverse range of learning options. Only 47 students in the state received the award this year. Congratulations to Geordan and Zachary for their hard work and dedication.

These academic results are undoubtedly the result of hard work and application by our students. However, the support, encouragement and guidance offered by their teachers, parents and caregivers also greatly enhance our academic outcomes. This partnership is key in all that we do at Terrace.

Academic success

On Tuesday 16 February, over 350 students from Years 6-12 were awarded their Academic Medals for Semester 2, 2021. All these young men worked very hard last year to develop good study routines and habits and, as a result, produced strong academic results. There were 110 gold, 120 silver and 124 bronze medals awarded in an exceptional total of 354 across the College.

We congratulate all Academic Award recipients and encourage all Terrace students to continue to work to the very best of their ability.

Dare to Go Beyond with our College Captains

The Terracian is proud to introduce you to the 2022 College leaders. College Captain Xavier Stiles and College Vice Captains Luca Gassman, Harry Lane, George Platt and Joel Snell. The Captains took time out of their busy Term 1 schedule to answer questions for The Terracian so the Terrace Family could get to know them a little better.

Describe your Terrace journey.

Xavier | My Terrace journey commenced in 2015 as a Reidy Year 5 student. I vividly recall the feelings of excitement and anxiety as I walked through the front gates. I was very fortunate to come to Terrace with students joining me from my primary school. As I participated in different co-curricular activities, new friendships quickly formed. This incredible journey is one that I never imagined and one that I am grateful to have experienced. To be part of a community where the tradition spans over 147 years provides an insight into the values that we, as Terracians, uphold.

Luca | Nerves, excitement and joy - these three words sum up my journey at Terrace, whether it was my first day in 2017, the first war cry I led, or my first day in the white shirt. It started when I arrived at the beginning of Year 7 in 2017. With two older brothers and a family history that seemed to be all red and black, I was keen to make my mark. However, I wasn’t prepared for the sheer noise when I arrived that morning. The nerves hit, yet I was welcomed. I remember in Year 10 when my Rugby team stood in the locker room before a Terrace-Nudgee Rugby game. I looked around at my mates and felt the excitement, not just because it was the rival round, but because I was taking on a challenge. I was a part of the GT family. Finally, joy burst into my Terrace journey like never before as I stood on the stairs as my peers and I were announced as the Captains of 2022.

Harry | The start of my journey began in 2015 in Year 5. One of the most nerve-wracking yet exhilarating days of my life. New faces everywhere, tall, small, black hair, blue eyes, glasses, so many different boys all roaming around a huge school, laughing and smiling. The sport, the academics, the culture, the spirit, it was everything. From my old school of two classes with just eight boys to three classes of 27 boys, this was amazing. I distinctly remember having a friendly game of handball on the first day, which turned into a full-on tournament against new boys I had never met.

George | When I walked into Terrace on my first day in 2015, I was following in the footsteps of my uncles and older cousins. I had already been welcomed by my buddy, Liam Bond, through the Christmas card that I still have. I was nervous but very excited to start my Terrace journey alongside several of my best mates from St Columba’s. During the ensuing years, I have made many more friends and shared so many incredible experiences that have been fundamental to how much I love Terrace. One of my early memories is playing Rugby against Nudgee in Year 6. The mighty Under 11Bs were playing for the premiership and were disappointingly beaten by only a few points. But that day was also when the Terrace 1st XV beat Nudgee for the first time in 14 years. The joy at Tennyson that day is something I will never forget.

Joel | My Terrace journey began in Year 5. To be honest, I cannot remember the specifics of my first day. But I am sure my little Year 5 self was standing at the front gates, with a pair of hand-me-down socks and a red and black tie that was most definitely tied by dad, which stretched to my knees and fell below my belt buckle. I was like a speck in the night sky, taken back by the colosseum like Campbell Centre, filled to the brim with Terracians appearing like giants. However, after learning the complexities of Terrace – mainly navigating the hallways - the anxieties of a new school faded away, with the desire to throw myself into all the opportunities that Terrace has to offer. My journey has been filled with the formation of friendships forged in the classrooms, on the field, and in the courtyards of Terrace, all yielding invaluable learnings and experiences that have ultimately shaped who I am.

What does this leadership role mean to you?

Xavier | It is an honour and privilege to lead such a diverse group of young men. As I enter my eighth year at the College, I will strive to push Terrace to further greatness and ensure that the Senior cohort leaves a legacy.  The role also involves influencing and inspiring the younger generation of Terrace students to commit themselves to selfless acts of kindness, while positively impacting others.

Luca | Knowing that I have the respect from my peers and teachers to the point where they saw me as a leader filled me with honour. As you grow and mature throughout your time at Terrace, you go through the good and bad times with those who surround you. I have seen so many young men who are natural leaders and hard workers, many people I trust wholeheartedly. So, as I stood with my fellow Captains shoulder to shoulder on the stairs of the Treacy Centre, I knew that my year ahead would be one I would not forget.

Harry | To be chosen as a Vice Captain is an honour. Knowing that my peers and staff selected me for this role means everything. Standing on stage, shoulder to shoulder in a war cry, or even walking down the hall and fist pumping a Year 5, all of it means the world. Through my Terrace journey, my love for the College has only grown. I am only 17, and to be seen as a role model is part of my motivation to lead others. I applied for the role of Vice Captain with the idea of becoming a better man. This role enables me to inspire and influence my fellow friends and Terrace boys of all ages, act with a kind heart, always be a gentleman and bleed the red and black.

George | Being selected as a Vice Captain is the most incredible honour. I feel extremely proud and humbled that my peers and the College Leadership Team were willing to entrust me with this role. In 2015 the

school motto was Bleed the Red and Black. This was just a motto at first, but it is at the heart of how I feel at Terrace now. Bleeding the red and black encapsulates how I throw myself into all I do at Terrace, and I hope that my example will help younger students share my love for our College.

Joel | Being a Vice Captain is the greatest honour. Terrace has become my second home, but it has not always been that way. School is not always easy, and I am not readily convinced by anyone who says it is, but this leadership opportunity has given me the chance to strive to make our College an easy place to be, a place for everyone to enjoy the daily routine of coming to school.

What are your goals for 2022?

Xavier | I have various goals for 2022. I aim to lead by example and encourage Terrace students to positively influence others at the College.  This year is like no other with the continuation of COVID, mask wearing, social distancing and the most recent floods. I have witnessed that we, as Terracians, have stayed connected and embraced each day. Our motto for 2022, Dare to Go Beyond, sets the platform for us as a community to show courage, identify those in need and make the extra effort for others. This may be on the College grounds, in the classroom, or in cocurricular activities.

Luca | Senior year is a big year. Assessment, sporting commitments, social commitments, and of course, you must have some time to stop and relax. I have found that young men often have difficulty when it comes to managing their time. So, of course, at the beginning of the year, I thought I would do the easy thing and set some significant goals for myself, which in no way helped my time management. Firstly, a goal the leaders

have set for 2022 is to work on reigniting the mateship and support between the year levels. As COVID saw large sections of the past few years disrupted and learning from online or sports without spectators, I have witnessed the interconnectedness between year levels lessen. Therefore, as the world recovers and we get as close to the norm as possible, my fellow Captains and I want to rebuild this feeling of family. A more personal goal is raising awareness of the world we live in and the environment that supports us. Recent years have seen intense natural disasters disrupt our lives. Next term, I aim to start raising awareness of the positive impact we can have on our environment by making simple changes to how we think and the actions we take in our everyday lives.

Harry | There is only so much that can be done in one schooling year. Broken down into four terms, I can see that there is little space for error and a perfect amount of time to embrace everything in 2022. Looking back at past Captains, gathering supporters, speeches on assembly and playing handball with the younger boys were merely the surface layer to what they intended to do. My goal for 2022 is to be part of a legacy that sticks, not only for next year but for years to come. Walking away knowing that 2022 was a year we inspired, led and encouraged everyone or even just a single person sounds like a pretty good goal to me.

George | I won’t lie, when I started this year, my primary goal was the same as every other year at Terrace – have as much fun as I can - play sport, play music and play handball! I now realise that I have much higher hopes for 2022. I hope that through our leadership, Terrace will be a welcoming and inclusive community where every student feels that they belong. I hope that we can all support our peers and lend a hand when it is needed. If Terrace is a happy place for all, we will leave a truly valuable legacy.

Joel | My initial hopes for 2022 were quite superficial: scoring a meat pie on the rugby field, achieving the desired ATAR, or convincing Dr Carroll of the need for a Red and Black Day. These can be considered an immense challenge and an amazing feat, but something so simple as just being present and living life at Terrace to the fullest is what is at their core. I hold myself to forging a legacy, leaving a positive impact on all Terracians so that they too can live out this core idea of presence.

Why did you choose Dare to Go Beyond as your motto?

Xavier | We dedicated time during Term 4 2021 to decide on the motto.  Dare to Go Beyond was agreed upon as this phrase depicts many significant meanings. We chose a theme that binds all members of the Terrace community together and challenges each student to apply the best version of themselves. We need to strive to exit those boundaries through bravery and stand up for what is right. Each student will have a different concept of how they may perform in academics, sports or cultural pursuits - we need to take it upon ourselves to Dare to Go Beyond

Luca | Each Captain has a slightly different view on what our motto can mean, yet the motto must fit into all aspects of life, so this varied interpretation is a given. However, the backbone of what it means is to push yourself outside of your comfort zone. I believe that if an individual spends their life choosing the easy options, they will never grow as a person. Sometimes it can be terrifying to go outside your comfort zone, and often you will fail. Yet without failure, there comes no growth and no reward. Therefore, you must dare yourself to go beyond what you think your limits are.

Harry | The creation of our motto went through weeks of trial and error, planning and finally coming down to the final choice. To begin with, we contacted various past Captains to find out what mottos had been dropped in their process. Finally, with the College’s overall arching values, we manipulated the version of dare to be great into Dare to Go Beyond. Daring to go beyond means having even a millisecond of courage to take a leap of faith, step out of your comfort zone, speak up, wear your uniform with pride, and support any and every Terrace boy in the College.

George | Our motto challenges each of us to be the best that we can be. It encourages us to face this year with courage and determination. It calls us to make a genuine difference.

Joel | The motto encompasses the idea that Terracians have the ability, and responsibility, to push their comfort zone in all they do—going beyond themselves to make an impact. But most importantly, Daring to Go Beyond in all that they do, to have a positive impact on Terrace and the broader community, living to become true Gentlemen of Terrace.

The Terrace Reconciliation Action Plan

Written by Ms Zoe Morgan

Throughout 2021, a working group comprised of staff, students, and wider members of our community, met regularly to engage in a structured process of renewing the College Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). Guided by First Nations people within our extended community, the RAP is our formal statement of commitment to reconciliation. The process allowed the community to share stories and learn and grow as we continuously develop the College’s reconciliation commitments.

Late in the year, the College RAP was formally endorsed by Narragunnawali, a program of Reconciliation Australia. Narragunnawali (pronounced narraunna-wally) supports schools to develop environments that foster knowledge and pride in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and contributions.

The College articulates our vision for reconciliation within the RAP as a commitment to be ever connected to the past, but boldly walking forward together in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The RAP outlines our actions as a College to ensure that reconciliation remains our priority.

We acknowledge and recognise history, while connecting with culture, and community to unify and create opportunities for the future. We value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and recognise and honour their stories, cultures, and achievements as we walk together for mutual liberation and a truth-telling history for all Australians.

We are called by the invitation contained in the Uluru Statement from The Heart to listen to the First Peoples of Australia and work together for reconciliation, justice, equity and healing. May we inspire our Terrace Family to have a lifelong pursuit of knowledge, humility and wisdom through a liberating education to be people of reconciliation, justice, equity and healing in the world.

The St Joseph’s Day Mass is an occasion of spiritual significance at Terrace, as we gather to celebrate our College Patron’s Feast Day. This year, it also played a significant role in our history as the College came together to bless our RAP and unveil the Reconciliation artwork and narrative that formed part of the RAP renewal process.

The Terrace RAP can be viewed at terrace.qld.edu.au/ about-us

Ever Connected to the Past, Boldly We Walk Forward Together

Written by Ms Zoe Morgan

The St Joseph’s Day Mass, celebrated this year on Monday 21 March, provided a wonderful opportunity to not only bless the College’s RAP, but also unveil the Reconciliation artwork that serves as a visual reinforcement of our ongoing commitment as a Terrace Family to reconciliation. The artwork titled Ever Connected to the Past, Boldly We Walk Forward Together was developed in a collaborative process with creative agency Gilimbaa. Proud Wakka Wakka man, and the Executive Director of Gilimbaa, David Williams, and his team, met regularly with members of the wider Terrace Family to seek design inspiration for the final piece. Driven by the power and process of storytelling, the College’s Reconciliation artwork is a celebration of culture and community.

Knowledge is our pathway. Inspired to learn, we bring wisdom into everything we do. Our journey is constant, and with every footstep we take, we are forever connected to this land upon which we walk. We will recognise the past, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who have inhabited our country for more than 60 000 years, so the future for all is just and unified.

Amongst many deeply significant symbols, the artwork contains symbolic references to our campus locations, our Irish heritage, the Edmund Rice Education Touchstones and our Houses, alongside the key elements of a Reconciliation symbol and our values of knowledge, humility and wisdom. The blessing by Father David Pascoe reinforced the Terrace commitment to embrace the culture of First Nations people and ensure that their story is also a part of the Terrace story.

The artwork will hang in Duhig Place, with copies also at Waterford Place, Maroon and Tennyson. As a symbol of our commitment to reconciliation, First Nations students were also presented with their own framed copy of the College Reconciliation artwork at the mass. As part of the artwork agreement, it will be reproduced across several digital and physical formats, including banners, the College website, social media, College stationery and email signatures, to ensure that reconciliation remains our focus.

In recognition of inspiring achievements

Written by Mrs Bianca Wagner

On 11 December 2021, the Senate of the University of Queensland conferred an Honorary Doctorate of Letters on Mr Hugh Lunn (GT 1959). In recognition of his inspiring achievements as an author, biographer and journalist.

The University’s citation was read by the ViceChancellor and President, Professor Deborah Terry AO BA(Hons), PhD ANU, HonLLD Aberd., FASSA.   Hugh’s doctorate was conferred by the Chancellor, Mr Peter Varghese AO BA(Hons), Hon DLitt Qld, also a Terrace Old Boy (GT 1972).

In the citation, the Chancellor spoke of Hugh’s achievements in literature.

Mr Lunn is an acclaimed author, biographer and multi-award-winning journalist and one of the finest Australian writers of his generation.

After completing a journalism cadetship at The Courier-Mail newspaper, Mr Lunn worked for the Daily Mirror in London before becoming a Reuters correspondent covering the Vietnam War. At great personal risk, he witnessed and reported on the 1968 Tet Offensive, a series of coordinated Viet Cong attacks on cities and outposts in South Vietnam. A number of Australian journalists – including Mr Lunn’s roommate – were killed.

With courage and commitment, he continued to report for Reuters in volatile situations including the so-called Act of Free Choice in 1969, when Indonesia took over the western half of New Guinea.

Returning to Australia in 1971, Mr Lunn joined The Australian newspaper in Queensland, winning three Walkley Awards for feature writing between 1974 and 1979.

In 1985, he published a memoir, Vietnam: A Reporter’s War, with University of Queensland Press (UQP), which was critically praised. It won The Age Book of the Year award and was twice published in New York.

He also enjoyed great success with his childhood memoir, Over the Top with Jim, a humorous and heartwarming evocation of growing up in the suburbs of Brisbane. It became the biggest selling non-fiction book in Australia in 1991 and the highest-selling Australian childhood memoir of all time. It has since been serialised nationally on radio, screened as a documentary and adapted by Mr Lunn into a stage play.

UQP Publisher Dr Craig Munro wrote that his books of memoir re-defined the genre. Lunn proved that bestsellers could also be award-winning books of literature.

Another dozen books followed over the next two decades, including a biography of his childhood friend and Wimbledon and Davis Cup champion Kenny Fletcher and Working for Rupert, an account of his time working for media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

In recent years, Mr Lunn has continued to experiment with radio and stage.

In 2019, State of Origin: The Musical!, which Mr Lunn cowrote with comic actor and composer Gerry Connolly, made its debut in Brisbane, telling the story of Arthur Beetson and Senator Ron McAuliffe, the fathers of the State of Origin series.

University of Queensland Vice-Chancellor and President Prof Deborah Terry AO University of Queensland Humanities Executive Dean Prof Heather Zwicker Mr Hugh Lunn University of Queensland Chancellor Peter Varghese AO

Across a long and distinguished career, Mr Lunn has received many honours for his work, including an Advance Australia Award in 1994 for his contribution to literature.

Mr Lunn was named a Queensland icon in 2009; Fellow of the Queensland Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2015; and he was inducted into the Australian Media Hall of Fame in 2018.

Hugh recalled his Terrace days during his acceptance speech:

Getting educated ain’t easy……. I started studying for a degree at this University in 1960, aged 18… and only today did I finally get one! My degree only took me 62 years!

When I was a teenager at high school here in Brisbane at Gregory Terrace, my class was lucky enough to have an eminent English teacher, a Christian Brother called “Doc” Campbell. Doc had graduated in Physics and Chemistry from Sydney University but decided to teach English… after a working-class boy chased him down the street after school. When he caught up, Doc asked what he wanted.

The young boy said breathlessly: I just wanted to see how you was

That was when I realised, Doc told us, That I wanted to teach young boys English – so that they would not start life with an all too obvious disadvantage. Because, he said, if you control the language, you control the situation.

The Terrace Family would like to congratulate Mr Lunn on this outstanding achievement – once a proud Gentleman of Terrace, always a proud Gentleman of Terrace.

Australia Day Honours

The Terrace Family congratulates Associate Professor Gino Pecoraro OAM (GT 1981) on his recognition in the Australia Day Honours. On 26 January 2022, Associate Professor Pecoraro was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for his service to medicine as a gynaecologist.

The Australia Day honours list recognised more than 35 members of the Australian Medical Association for their service to medicine and the community.

Associate Professor Pecoraro was awarded the OAM for his service to the community as an obstetrician and gynaecologist, with a special interest in high-risk obstetrics, especially thrombophilia and auto-immune disease. He also has an interest in laparoscopic and vaginal surgery, endometriosis and menopause.

He has been practising at the Wesley Hospital since 1997 and has been a regular presenter on Channel 10, and served on numerous medical boards.

Associate Professor Pecoraro is a former AMA Queensland President, current President of the National Association of Specialist Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and was an inaugural registrar with the Flying O&G Service Western Queensland. He is also no stranger to awards. His awards and recognition include the Distinguished Service Medal, Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists 2016, 20 Years of Service Medal, Mater Health Services 2017, Fellow, Australian Medical Association 2012 and the Medical Media Award for Excellence in Women’s Health in 2006.

He first worked in the US Collegiate system as a coach before moving back to Australia in 2011 and undertaking various coaching roles for Tennis Australia. During his time at the College, Adam was co-captain of an undefeated 1st IV team. This included victories in the Queensland and National Secondary Schools’ Competition throughout 1997 and January 1998. He was also personally undefeated in singles and doubles matches for the entire season. The Terrace Family wishes Adam the best of luck in his new position and all future endeavours.

Persevering Pat

Written by Mr Cameron Vellacott

If you look at Pat Millard’s (GT 2018) journey in the football world at face value, you would assume he is an elite junior talent. Playing in the position of goalkeeper, Pat’s footballing resume includes two years representing 1 st XI Football at the College, Brisbane City National Premier League Under 18 and 21 player and named 2020-21 National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) First Team All-American. However, his garnered success is far less about talent and more about gratitude, effort and perseverance.

Pat is currently on a scholarship at the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 1 (NCAA D-1) school at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, studying International Business. NCAA D-1 is the premier intercollegiate competition in the United States. It features some of the largest and most famous colleges in the world, including Harvard, Yale, Duke, UCLA and MIT. At Creighton, Pat will have the opportunity to play in front of up to 6000 spectators in what is considered one of the best football venues in the NCAA.

Pat has been an Exercise Science student at Iowa Western Community College for the past two seasons. Known as the Reivers, Iowa Western competes in the National Junior College Athletic Association Division 1 (NCJAA D-1). NJCAA D-1 is the premier competition for Junior Colleges (that offer two to three-year degrees instead of the four years typical of an NCAA College). Playing for the Reivers allowed Pat to test himself against some of the best and learn and grow as a player.

Last year, a standout season saw him named 202021 First Team All-American. This honour recognised him as the best goalkeeper of the season, above the 250 goalkeepers who compete in the NJCAA D-1 competition. The standout season was best showcased in the final bracket game. A victory for the Reivers would ensure them a place in the national championship game. During the match, Pat saved three penalty shootouts to secure his side victory and a chance at the national championship, which they, unfortunately, lost 2-1 in overtime.

Despite losing the national championship, the immense success for the Reivers follows a trail of gratitude and hard work. Mr Martin Millard, Pat’s father, cannot praise his son’s time at Terrace highly enough. Pat refers to his time at Terrace as the foundation for him. Being a part of Terrace and its Football program, he got to understand he is a part of something bigger than himself.

During his time at Terrace, Pat found mentorship from the Human Movements Head of Faculty Mr Mason Hellyer and his Maths teacher Mr David Mandall. Mr Hellyer witnessed Pat during his time at the College and Brisbane City Football Club.

Pat was always a student and athlete who worked hard to be his best. I am not surprised that he is having success, as he always looked to go beyond his natural talent and extend himself through hard work and by being ‘coachable’. That is, by being present, open to constructive criticism and by having a growth mindset. Being a goalkeeper is a tough position, you have to be mentally tough and prepared to accept that any mistake is magnified and places you under the spotlight. Pat has the mentality and personality to accept the ‘imperfect world’ that a goalkeeper faces and keep looking to improve. I look forward to following the rest of his career.

Another key to Pat’s success was 1st XI coach Mr John Kosmina. To this day, Pat still has ‘just never give up’ written down. It was a quote delivered repeatedly by John during their season together at Terrace. Talking about the season, John said Pat responded to any demands made of him. The more that was expected of him, the harder he worked. Pat applied himself incredibly. John is not surprised at the success Pat has had. Pat’s belief in himself, accountability and the standards he holds himself to, are what is required to bridge the divide between boys’ and mens’ football. It is where a lot of young men fail. John certainly understands this, being a professional footballer for nearly two decades and Australia’s first-ever player for English Premier League club Arsenal.

Pat’s success and character are best summed up by his father. The only thing I know about my son Patrick is when his journey is done, he will have tried his hardest

Culture update

From *Y5 to Priscilla Queen of the Desert

From winning hearts with *Y5 on stage at the 2021 Celebration of Excellence to playing a role in a musical, nothing can stop Diesel Batson’s star from shining. Congratulations to Diesel (Year 6), cast as Benji in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Diesel will perform at the Redcliffe Entertainment Centre, the Ipswich Civic Theatre and the Brolga Theatre in Maryborough during March and April. This is an outstanding effort and opportunity for Diesel. Our best wishes on this adventure!

Writing for Theatre Haus (theatrehaus.com), Sophie Mason said of the performances at the Redcliffe Entertainment Centre:

Priscilla: Queen of the Desert’ relies on a schmick ensemble to bring the spectacle to life and Redcliffe Musical Theatre’s cast delivered in spades. With seasoned professionals and Brisbane theatre newcomers side by side, the camaraderie and talent was clear from the back rows of the theatre.

Debating dividends

Term 1 was full of challenges for the GPS and QDU debaters. COVID restrictions and the Brisbane floods cancelled many of the rounds; however, this did not dampen the red and black spirit from Year 5 to the Senior As, who gave their all to represent Terrace in the competition. The GPS competition has concluded for 2022, with multiple Terrace teams undefeated. Congratulations to the 12.1, 7.3 and 6.1 teams. The Senior As, 8.3s and 5.1s, only lost one debate. Special mention to our Year 10 teams who all placed, with 10.1 and 10.3 equal second and 10.2 third.

Terrace came second in the GPS competition – a tremendous achievement given that the debaters were not able to participate in as many debates as other schools.

The QDU competition is at the halfway point and will continue into Term 2.

State Debating selection

Congratulations to Thomas Musgrave and Thomas Nunn-Rutledge, who have been selected in the prestigious Queensland State Debating team. Terrace has a proud history of debaters who have represented Queensland. Well done to these Gentlemen of Terrace for their dedication to debating.

Introducing Eugene

Year 9 student Conor Ryan is thrilled to be playing the part of Eugene in this year’s College Musical Grease . Who can forget the goofy class nerd who kept the T-Birds entertained? In a happy twist of fate, Conor will be playing the same role the Director of the College Musical, Mr Dan Venz, played for Harvest Rain Theatre Company in 2017. Conor has written to The Terracian to talk us through his experience.

My name is Conor Ryan, and I am playing Eugene in the College Musical, Grease, this year. Grease is my third school musical at Gregory Terrace, and I am so excited to jump into the role of the bumbling nerd Eugene. The two previous musicals I was in were Madagascar and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. In Madagascar, I was the news reporter Cameron Hammernose (as well as a piece of steak), and in Joseph, I was the rich and powerful Potiphar. I loved my time in both musicals, and I cannot wait to perform in Grease and future Terrace Musicals. I am very passionate about musical theatre and playing such a beefy role is exhilarating. I love acting. Ever since I was little, I have wanted to be an actor. I love falling into a role and convincing people you are someone you are not—it is an art form. I have been actively involved with theatre since I first joined Fame Theatre when I was seven. My love for the theatre has only grown since then. I now study Drama at NIDA through their Open NIDA classes held on weekends.

I have been a member of the Terrace Choir since 2020, which has provided me with the opportunity to flex my singing. I also did tap dancing when I was nine, which has prepared me for the large dance numbers in Grease. Outside of acting, my other passion is scriptwriting. Last year I wrote a script for a comedic short film that I put online. I loved writing it so much that I continued writing scripts and they continued getting bigger and bigger. I recently finished a script that was over 16 000 words long. I have always loved

constructing a narrative of my own as it is fun and interesting. In primary school, my favourite thing to do was to write stories. I have found out my favourite way of doing that is writing scripts.

I have been told before that what your family does affects what you choose to do, but I never really thought about that in my case. My mother and father are both lecturers at the Australian Catholic University. My mother teaches drama and my father teaches English. Those both reflect my passions, so I suppose they have influenced me somehow. As well as this, my sister is excelling at her studies in violin at the Conservatorium of Queensland. As a career, I desperately want to do something creative such as writing scripts or acting in movies, television, theatre or advertisements. I love performing.

I absolutely cannot wait to play the same role Mr Venz did; I have some big shoes to fill. I couldn’t think of a more fun character to play in Grease than Eugene.

Director Dan Venz is just as excited about the performance as Conor is.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Conor on this, our second show together. Conor is such a fun character and his enthusiasm for performance is both infectious and really lovely to work with. What I love about this version of Eugene is that is so different to how I played Eugene – and that comes down to his strong convictions and ideas. He has brought his own version of Eugene to the role. I am sure you will love him as much as we do

Standing in solidarity

Written by Mr Joe Crowley (GT 1990)

When COVID struck in 2020 and Queensland went into lockdown, Mr Tom Crowley (GT 2016) and Mr Magnus Murray-Douglas (GT 2016) organised to provide food for people experiencing homelessness in the Brisbane CBD. From 23 March 2020 to 15 May 2020, charities running mobile food vans were closed. Homeless men, women and children were particularly vulnerable at this time. With the generous support of donors, Magnus and Tom started their own food service out of the back of their cars for the whole of lockdown and beyond. By providing a food service in a COVID safe way, they continued operating when most other services were shut down.

Tom and Magnus volunteered for the Eddie’s Van (Night Van). Tom volunteered from his final year at Terrace in 2016 and Magnus in 2017. In March of 2020, Magnus joined Tom as a Coordinator of the Night Van, responsible for organising volunteers, collecting and serving food and ensuring a safe connection with the Brisbane homeless community.

With the lockdown, charity organisations had a duty of care to their employees (and volunteers). All organisations such as St Vincent de Paul, Red Frog and Rosie’s stopped food services to the homeless. The Night Van was also suspended.

Knowing that the COVID lockdown was exacerbating the already complicated lives of homeless people, Tom and Magnus decided to continue to deliver food to those in need. They borrowed a family station wagon and fold-out tables and returned to the Night Van location on a Tuesday night to continue their support of those people in need.

Magnus and Tom changed how they operated the food service to comply with the health directives. They swapped the home-cooked meals for boxes of pizza

and canned goods, which were easier to distribute safely and did not require assistance from volunteers. They provided markings, so people knew to line up in a socially distanced fashion and increased the service to cater for the greatly increased need for food in the CBD.

As reported in the media, the lockdown saw an increase in the need for support for homeless people. With the closure of so many volunteer services, Tom and Magnus decided to extend their food distribution to a second night at the same location, later adding a third to drive/walk around the city handing out canned goods and warm clothes.

Magnus and Tom maintained this routine throughout the lockdown with donations from families and friends of Terrace and the general community. Anne McMahon (Manger of Community Support for Eddie’s Van) worked hard to source funding from parents and caregivers to pay for food. Generous support from the St Ignatius Parish school and church, friends and neighbours of the boys must be acknowledged. The generosity was such that Tom and Magnus had enough resources to supply packaged food and money to buy up to 65 pizzas a week for several months.

When the lockdown finished, the safety of staff and volunteers was still a genuine concern for many organisations. That and social distancing rules meant many charities did not resume (or fully resume) their operations until much later in the year; as such, Magnus and Tom continued at the Roma Street Parklands until the Eddie’s Night Van was given the green light to recommence operations later in 2020.

Tennyson update

The flooding in February brought devastation to many Brisbane residents. Memories of 2011 and the sense of loss were once again in the news and experienced by those in the Terrace Family.

Although the flood levels were not as high as those of 2011, it is fair to say the facilities at Tennyson were significantly affected during the floods. Fortunately, there was no contamination of the fields, but most structures and buildings require significant reconstruction.

Work continues to unfold at Tennyson, with a major focus on field restoration. A remediation program has been developed, and work should commence on the fields in the coming weeks. Rebuilding the Tennyson facilities looks like a slow process, with the canteen, BBQ area, Rowing shed and grandstand unlikely to be ready until Term 3. Round 1 Football games against

Anglican Church Grammar School will not be played at Tennyson as scheduled. The building works also continue but will be a more extensive task and will likely take three to six months to complete. Temporary facilities will be in place in the interim. A working bee will be planned once the works have been completed. Dr Michael Carroll will keep the community informed as to when this will occur.

Return to Duhig cottage

In February 2022, 140 years after the family was evicted, 16 descendants of John and Margaret Duhig bought the Duhig family cottage in Broadford, three kilometres from the city of Limerick in Ireland. The family hopes to preserve the cottage and keep it in the family for future generations. Professor Peter Phelan (GT 1954) undertook research into the family history to share with all descendants, who have a long and significant history with the College.

In 1876 Archbishop James Duhig’s father, John, died, aged 41 years. In 1872, Brudenell Palmer, the family’s English landlord, evicted his widow Margaret and their seven children, Timothy (known in Australia as Edward), Martin, Elizabeth (Mrs Frank Cullen), Mary, Patrick, James and Ellen (Mother Ignatius SGS) from their simple two roomed cottage. Soon after, the family emigrated from Ireland. Margaret and five of her children settled in Brisbane, Martin and Patrick in Chicago, USA. Edward became a well-known building contractor in Brisbane between 1900 and 1930. He had 12 children.

Archbishop James Duhig was the first of the children to attend Terrace in 1885. He left school shortly after. However, as his aspirations turned to that of the priesthood, he returned to Terrace in 1890 to bring his education up to the required standard. In 1891 he left for Rome and was ordained as a priest in 1896. He returned to Australia and was ordained as Bishop of Rockhampton Diocese in 1905 at 34 years of age, the youngest Bishop in the world. He became Archbishop of Brisbane in 1917 and served for 48 years until his death in 1965. Archbishop Duhig maintained a close connection to Terrace. He donated land in New Farm, where the old Rowing sheds were located and donated funds to build the junior school. He opened the new Senior school building in 1964.

The son of James’ eldest brother Edward attended Terrace in 1889. Since then, the Duhig family have had a long history at Terrace. Peter Phelan (GT 1954) is the son of Edward’s daughter, Mary. There have since been five generations of the Duhig family at the College.

The cottage, still known locally as “Duhig Cottage”, was unoccupied for some years after the eviction as the locals felt the Duhig family had been so harshly treated. Afterwards, it was owned for about 120 years by one family. Protection of the cottage as a dwelling of historical importance is being sought from the Limerick Council. Once the renovations and restoration have been completed, it is planned to make the cottage available for short term rental to the public.

St Paul’s Terrace

Written by Mrs Bianca Wagner

When the land was purchased on St Paul’s Terrace to give room to help develop the College, little thought was given to the ground and the history behind it. It wasn’t until the land was cleared that history revealed itself, as it so often does.

A stone plaque was discovered lying in the grass. The inscription stated that the stone was laid by Her Excellency the Lady Northcote C.I. on 26 July 1904. The investigation began. Who was Lady Northcote, and why was the stone here?

Lord and Lady Northcote arrived in Australia in January 1904. Lord Northcote began his term as the third Governor General of Australia. The term lasted until September 1908.

Lord Northcote previously served as Governor of Bombay. In Bombay, Lady Northcote became well known for her excellent organisational and leadership talents. Women whose husbands were in high positions often seized the opportunities their position granted them and to make a difference. In India, Lady Northcote worked raising funds for the Dufferin Fund, a charitable venture to help deal with epidemics of plague and smallpox affected families. She was awarded a Companion of the Order of the Crown of India (CI) when her husband became the Governor of Bombay in 1900, and a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1919. By 1906 Lady Norcote began work on the first national exhibition of women’s work in Australia. This took place in Melbourne. She also became the first patron of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

As part of their duties, Lord and Lady Northcote visited Brisbane in July 1904. On 26 July 1904, Lady Northcote laid the foundation stone of the Lady Lamington Hospital on Leichardt Street (now known as St Paul’s Terrace).

The Lady Lamington Hospital was opened on 31 October 1900. The hospital was named after the wife of the Queensland Governor. Lady Lamington was instrumental in the formation of the hospital that dealt primarily with issues of women’s health. The institution flourished, and a new building was erected to accommodate the growing number of patients. Lady Lamington also opened the Lady Lamington Nursing Home at the Brisbane General Hospital and then trained as a nurse and became a volunteer paramedic in WWI.

The role of the Governor’s wife was to take part in charitable organisations where the care of the sick and disadvantaged members of society were cared for by such organisations. The women’s hospital was her major contribution to Queensland.

In this country, so much depends on the health of the people, especially on the robustness of our women and children, that the establishment of places of refuge for the sick and distressed is of paramount importance. The new building to be commenced by today’s ceremony in this has a great significance. (The Telegraph, Tuesday 26 July 1904 page 4)

As our Gentlemen of Terrace pass by the grounds or perhaps use the gym that now stands where the hospital once did, they may spare a thought to the great deeds of the women in Brisbane’s history and the legacy they left. These women Dared to Go Beyond the expectations and traditions of the time to make a difference to those in their community.

Fundraising success

Written by Ms Zoe Morgan

The fundraising results from the annual long lunch GT on the Green have been tallied, and Terrace is pleased to let the community know of the event’s success. Held in November last year, the Long Lunch raised funds in support of Para START and our House Friendship Groups.

With COVID concerns at the time, we were fortunate that the lunch went ahead, although some modifications impacted the overall funds raised.  However, we are pleased to say we will have donated $3082 to each of our House Friendship Groups and $10 000 in an ongoing commitment to Para START.

Each of the nine Houses at Terrace partners with one or more House Friendship Group. House Friendship Groups enable students to walk with several community support groups and, in doing so, extend their faith outside the school gates and help others less fortunate than themselves.

House Friendship Groups

¥ Barrett – small steps 4 Hannah (partnering from 2022) and Strong Women Talking

¥ Buckley – Childhood Cancer Support

¥ Kearney – Milperra State High School and Welcome the Stranger

¥ Magee – St Mary of the Cross School and One in Four

¥ Mahoney – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Health Service (ATSICHS)

¥ Reidy - Brisbane Youth Service

¥ Treacy - Orange Sky Laundry and RizeUp

¥ Windsor - Youngcare and DanDaLion

¥ Xavier - Ubuntu through Health and Edmund Rice Camps

All the House Friendship Groups have extended their heartfelt thanks to Terrace for their generous donation. Below are some of the expressions of thanks written to Terrace from the groups.

Brisbane Youth Service

On behalf of our Brisbane Youth Service team and the young people we support, a huge thank you to St Joseph’s Gregory Terrace and Reidy House for your incredible fundraising efforts on our behalf. It has been a pretty challenging week and a half. Two of our youth shelters were completely submerged in floodwaters and one was broken into over the weekend by looters. We have had a number of young people requiring emergency food and housing with no confirmation yet from the government about additional financial support. So, your contributions will help provide some much-needed emergency relief support for those in crisis.

RizeUp Australia

The funds raised will be used towards purchasing items for our Homes program, i.e. putting linen and pillows on beds for the families we support.  We love that your students who help create these homes are able to see the tangible outcomes of the College’s fundraising.

One in Four Children

We are so thrilled to be recipients of this wonderful donation. We have a container of books loaded and ready to go. These funds will go a very long way to helping us hopefully get it to a community in need. We sincerely appreciate the College and College community for getting behind our campaign to bring education to more people and improving their lives.

DanDaLion

The money will go a long way in further developing our scope and work around supporting young people. Many thanks!

Edmund Rice Camps

The generosity of your donation covers one child to participate in a weeklong camp. Your funding will enable ten children from disadvantaged backgrounds to experience the impacts of the Edmund Rice charism.  The increased resilience, confidence, socialisation and connection for the children is significant.

St Mary of the Cross Primary School

Thank you so much for this very generous donation. Thank you to the team for the effort, and we loved the Long Lunch last year.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Health Service (ATSICHS)

Thanks for the amazing donation. We would like to put this money towards our housing program, which helps vulnerable women and children.

Welcoming the Stranger

Welcoming the Stranger is made up of seven volunteers who work daily with refugees as supporters and advocates.  We offer monetary assistance for rent, food, etc. and help with childcare, transport and finding employment.  The $3082 already assisted many refugee families with basic necessities, so I thank you on their behalf.

Old Boy update

Donation to the Archives

Earlier this year, the Terrace Archives were delighted to receive items from Terrace Old Boy and Rhodes Scholar Mr Ben Jurotawitch (GT 1995). Ben had travelled from France, where he now lives, to visit his family in Brisbane, and while in town, he donated some of his belongings to the Terrace Museum and Archives.

The collection included his College Senior blazer, and notable items from his time as Debating Captain in 1995. He also donated ephemera items from his Rhodes Scholarship announcement and his return to the College for a special Rhodes Scholar Assembly, his school bag, and a full Gymnastics uniform (he was also Gymnastics Captain in 1995). One unusual item in the collection was half a ring from the gymnastics ring apparatus. His father, who brought the items to the school, told the Archives that the ring broke off in Ben’s hand during the competition warm up. He kept the ring as a memento of the event.

The College Museum and Archives would like to thank Ben for his donation – it is a welcome addition to the collection.

A Terrace Family Christmas

This photo was sent to the College Archives by Mr Stephen Creagh (GT 1992). The photo was taken on 19 December 2021 at the annual Creagh Family Christmas party with several generations of Terrace Old Boys.

Not present in the picture is Patrick’s son, Oliver, Vice Captain in 2010 and Jim’s son Matthew Creagh, who was Kearney Captain in 1996.

Stephen’s two boys will attend Terrace in the future. Frederick starts in 2023 and Rudolf in 2026.

Cricket call out - can you help?

This year marks the 70th anniversary of Terrace’s first Cricket premiership. In 1952 the school defeated Toowoomba Grammar to take the 1st XI Cricket title. It took another half century for the school to again claim that mantle (in 2004). That, and the joint victory in 2020, are the only three occasions in the 103-year history of the GPS Cricket competition that Terrace has won.

To mark the 70 years since the 1952 victory, the son of one of its members, Joseph Crowley, is writing an article on that season. Through the College Archives and old newspapers, Joseph has gathered much information. What he is missing are the personal recollections of that season. As such, he is interested in hearing from those who recall the event or family members of those who played who have any stories to relate. He can be contacted by email on crowleyjoe@hotmail.com

From L-R: Daniel Creagh (GT 1988), Vince Creagh Snr (NC 1957), Jim Creagh (GT 1965 - College Captain), Stephen Creagh (GT 1992 - College Vice Captain), Patrick Creagh (GT 1971 - College Vice Captain), Vince Creagh Jnr (GT 1987 - College Prefect).

Thank you from the College Principal

I share this message on behalf of the Gregory Terrace Foundation and our College staff with the deepest gratitude.

Over the years, countless families, Old Boys, businesses, friends of Terrace and staff have donated generously to ensure that the Gentlemen of Terrace have the best student experience. Whether it is the facilities in which they learn, or the opportunities offered to young men who otherwise would not have the means to attend our College, our students benefit from the Edmund Rice mission every day. Perhaps without knowing it when making those gifts, the staff have drawn strength to face our most difficult years in education, knowing we have your support.

Looking after the future of Terrace, many thoughtful philanthropists have given generously to ensure that we have what it takes to weather the 43% reduction in funding from the Government. They have given knowing that the benefits of their gift may not entirely change their son’s experience today but help generations of Terracians in the future. You have enabled us to provide an education for 23 young men. And for the first time in our 146-year history, we have a self-sustaining bursary. Today, more than ever, we know how your donations will help us meet the demands we will face in the years to come.

The outpouring of support at Terrace this past year is as heartfelt as it has been inspiring. Each of you that has contributed has exemplified the belief that giving is to be living the legacy of our proud Catholic history, even in times of crisis. I applaud everyone in the Terrace Family for your generosity and support.

Thank you.

I have a great deal of respect and admiration for the men who previously held this position, from Ross Stenson back when I was a student in 1994 through to Dominic Condon, my classmate who sadly passed away in 2020, and of course, my predecessor David Toohey. On behalf of the Old Boy community, I want to sincerely thank David for the time, effort, passion, and commitment he has shown as a committee member over several years, as President in 2019, and for answering the call to return in 2021. I am yet to meet David’s equal in raw passion for the GTOBA. Thankfully the committee will continue to benefit from David’s experience this year in his capacity as Immediate Past President.

We began the year as we always do with the GTOBA annual Mass in the College Chapel. It was a wonderful morning, and I encourage the whole Terrace community to join in the future. The Mass was followed by the Annual General Meeting, where we saw a record number of Old Boys nominated to join the committee in 2022. With Andrew Splatt (GT 2008) as Vice President, together with a great mix of returning committee members and several new faces, the committee is energised and excited about working on the many goals we have for this year.

The first event of the year was the annual President’s Drinks, which we hosted at the Port Office Hotel on the now infamous flooding weekend at the end of February. Despite the rain, attendance was exceptional, with Old Boys ranging from the 1950s to the present. The committee has chosen to focus this event over the past couple of years on engaging with the previous year’s graduating class, and it was great to see the 2021 Seniors in such good numbers. Watching fellow Old Boy Harry Wilson and the Queensland Reds defeat NSW on the big screen was the icing on the cake.

In a few short weeks, the committee will launch an exciting new web platform that we think will enable us to better connect with each other and with the College. We can’t wait to go live and engage with as many of you as possible. Watch this space.

A key initiative that the new platform will facilitate is a new mentoring program called Mentor Connect. Amongst our community, we have an enormous wealth of experience, which we think would be invaluable to our fellow Old Boys, particularly the younger men, as they are finding their way following graduation. We already have over 100 Old Boys who put their hands up

to be mentors, and we are always looking for more. This is a key goal of the committee to deliver on and we are almost ready to launch. Please look out for it; we would love you to participate as a mentor or mentee!

On 27 April, we will host the Annual Br Buckley AM Breakfast at Victoria Park. This event is a special day in the calendar for the GTOBA, not just to connect with fellow Old Boys and hear from guest speakers, but because it allows us to honour one of our greatest Old Boys in Br Barry Buckley. Br Buckley was a student in 1951, a teacher, headmaster, and coach of a winning 1st VIII boat on two occasions. Br Buckley is a genuine Brother and an inspiration to many generations of Old Boys. This year we have a terrific panel at the breakfast, including the Deputy Mayor of Brisbane. She will discuss “From the world epidemic to the future” with regard to Brisbane’s preparation for the Olympic Games in 2032. Communications will follow shortly. Please save the date and come and join us for this special morning.

And that is just the start. The committee has several exciting initiatives for the remainder of the year, including the Annual T-Bone Lunch, the Alumni Awards and reunions.

I am looking forward to working with you and for you this year.

GTOBA Mass & AGM

The Gregory Terrace Old Boys’ Association Mass and Annual General Meeting took place on Sunday 13 February. A tradition that marks the start of the year and brings together generations spanning over 60 years. The Annual General Meeting of the Association saw the induction of the 2022 Executive Committee. There was a changing of the guard with Mr Mark Christensen (GT 1994) elected as the new President, succeeding Mr David Toohey (GT 1977), who concluded his presidency position (2019, 2021).

President’s Drinks

The Gregory Terrace Old Boys’ Association held its annual President’s Drinks at The Port Office Hotel on 25 February. This year the event was a sell out with 200 in attendance and a waiting list of over 50 Old Boys. The tradition of inviting the most recent Terrace Graduates (GT 2021) continued and was a great chance to welcome and induct them into the GTOBA. Any event held presently never seems to proceed without some sort of disruption. While we celebrated, no one knew that the weather event that unfolded over the weekend would affect the whole of South East Queensland.

Vale Vincent ‘Bede’ Daley (GT 1957)

1939 - 2022

Bede’s family knew how much he loved Terrace. He loved his Terrace alumni and remained close to many of his school friends. Bede could recite the Terrace War Cry at a moment’s notice. He still had his tie and blazer and attended many school reunions andVintage Terracians Morning Tea. His school was the cornerstone of the way he lived his life.

Bede lived a big life.  After graduating in 1957, he went on to study Dentistry at the University of Queensland. Bede had a very successful career. After graduating from university, he went on to own practices in London, Yamba, and Toowoomba and eventually ran a practice on Wickham Terrace in Brisbane.

Bede had five daughters and 12 grandchildren and spent every hour of his leisure time on a boat in Moreton Bay.  He loved boats and fishing, and his children spent many weekends and school holidays on his lovely Moreton Bay cruiser, moored at the Southport Yacht Club.  He was a great entertainer and was always very generous with his time.

Bede will be sadly missed by his family.

Vale Dr Ronald Hambleton OAM

(GT 1955)

1937 - 2022

Ron Hambleton was loved by all those who knew him as a man who could bring a smile to anyone’s face. Ron was an outstanding member of the community and well known for his skills on the tennis court and his generous nature to those less fortunate than himself.

Ron came to Terrace in 1948 to begin his schooling, graduating in 1955. One of Ron’s greatest memories of his days at Terrace was captaining the Tennis 1st IV to their first premiership in 100 years. Ron continued his love of tennis his entire life, playing his last game just one week before he passed away.

After graduation, Ron studied Dentistry at the University of Queensland. It was at university that Ron met and married his wife, Joyce. He took an army scholarship to support his studies and young family and began his dental career treating officers at Victoria Barracks. After his time with the army, Ron moved to his own private practice. Ron’s patients were a priority in his career, and he often worked after hours and free of charge to provide those in need with the dental care they deserved.

Ron treated children in Mithra Centre for children with disabilities in India and raised $40 000 worth of dental equipment for Raihu Health Centre in Papua New Guinea. Ron also took a portable dental clinic and new equipment to East Timor. In 2004 he was awarded the Order of Australia Medal in the General Division for his service to the community through the St Vincent de Paul Society. Ron was a member of the St Vincent de Paul society since 1955 when he joined not long after he left school.

Ron was a proud Old Boy and regular attendee of the Vintage Terracians Morning Tea held in November each year. The Terrace Family will miss his joyful nature and generous spirit.

Vale Brian King (GT 1956)

1938 - 2022

Not long after the passing of Brian King, the 100 th GPS Head of the River was contested at Wyaralong Dam on Saturday 19 March. As a coxswain for the 1 st IV back in the early 1950s, Brian would have delighted in watching the boys race for the ultimate prize.

Brian was a committed coxswain for his crew, and in life, he applied the traits and characteristics of the quintessential coxswain. A cox is often undervalued and underappreciated outside of those who know the sport well, and yet, the coxswain is recognised by his crew as the most important person in the boat.

A humble and modest man, Brian was a highly valued and loved family man, business partner, and friend. As a coxswain, Brian was confident in his direction and leadership of his family and pharmacy business. He was able to harness the potential of his children and employees, even his working dogs, and coordinated the many moving parts to achieve success. He was clear and unwavering, sure of hand, and steadfast until the very end.

Although Brian lived for much of his life on the land working with cattle, he was a gifted chemist and successful pharmacy businessman. The Pharmacy Board of Queensland issued Brian’s diploma as a Pharmaceutical Chemist in 1963. During his career in pharmacy, Brian worked in and owned pharmacies in Beaudesert, Brisbane CBD, Nambour, Caloundra, Howard and Childers. He was elevated to Life Member of the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia. But it was farming and raising beef cattle that inspired him and sparked great joy. He grew up riding his beloved horse among the dairy farms of Gordon Park and Grange, and until his death, at age 83, he raised cattle. His Sandymount Droughtmaster Stud in Mooloolah was the culmination of his life’s interest in cattle and raising quality Australian beef. Brian lived a full life, characterised by an exemplary work ethic and a tenacity to approach every task and effort with finesse and precision. Despite a busy schedule, he found time to fish with friends, often along the endless stretches of Fraser Island’s beaches, chasing the Tailor and as far north as Lucinda (FNQ). One of his best catches was a 17kg Jewfish on the beach near Iluka.

In every aspect of his life, Brian was a valued and much-loved family man and friend. He is sorely missed, as much as an oarsman misses his coxswain. In his immediate family, Brian leaves his wife, brother, four children and ten grandchildren. In 2021 four of his grandsons wore the Terrace uniform. Brian was proud to wear his Old Boy’s tie for a photo opportunity with the four of them on his 83rd birthday.

Rest in Peace, Brian. The memories we have will live forever.

Vale Mr Bernard Moroney  (GT 1960)

1943 – 2022

Bernard Moroney passed away on 19 January 2022 at St Vincent’s Private Hospital Kangaroo Point Brisbane.

Bernie attended Terrace for nine years, from Year 4 in 1952 to Senior in 1960. He taught himself to row in a little dinghy launched from his Father’s Yacht, the Stella Maris on Moreton Bay. Over the years, he won many rowing races in sculls, pairs, fours and eights. He represented Queensland in the Kings Cup Eights 1966, 1967 and 1970 for the Australian Championship Eights in Tasmania, Murray Bridge South Australia and Ballarat Victoria.  Bernie rowed for Toowong and Brothers Rowing Club and coached Rowing at Terrace, Brothers Rowing Club and Brisbane Grammar.

Bernard rowed in the first Terrace crew to win a race at the Head of the River in 1959 as the stroke of the 2nd IV. Bernie stroked with Kevin O’Hanlon, Andrew Rimanoczy, Anthony Fanning and Richard Healy (cox). The crew won the Head of the River by two lengths.

The crew won all their lead up races for the Head of the River and were confident of success on the big day. The day before the race, the crew devised a plan to make a surge on the other crews after 750 metres and get to the lead. This proved a good tactic as the crew leapt to a length lead and maintained their advantage right through to the finish. The crowd was enormous, and the roar lifted the crew with 500 metres to go, sending them over the finish line with a clear two-length margin.

The 2nd IV won 19 races during the 1958 season and won two Cups in 1959 at Regattas to celebrate the Centenary of Queensland. The cups are displayed in the Rowing Shed at Tennyson. At one stage, the crew won six races and competed against Club crews in their twenties with success. The feat of winning six races in a row hit the sports pages.

In 1960, Bernie stroked the 1st VIII and became Captain of Rowing. During the 1960 season, the 1st VIII won a couple of lead up races before the Head of the River and were considered a chance but were swamped by the Police Launch before the race on the day of the Head and carried a boat full of water. The crew should have appealed to the umpire before the start and rowed to a pontoon to empty the boat but did not think clearly and were overwhelmed by the occasion.

The Brisbane river’s tidal conditions often made racing hazardous and unfair to crews in lanes that had a stronger tide. Battling adverse conditions, outgoing tides, and strong crosswinds made some races a real challenge to the rowers. Conditions like these led to Terrace Rowing being transferred to non-tidal waters.

Bernie will be fondly remembered by all who knew him and rowed with him. His family continued the Rowing legacy at Terrace with his great-nephews Nicholas Nielsen (GT 2007) and Timothy Nielsen (GT 2011), both rowing for the College.
