Teaching and Learning is there a difference?

I recently came across a cartoon where a proud pet owner was telling a man that he had taught his dog to whistle. The man was astounded and asked if the dog could demonstrate this talent. The pet owner replied “I said I taught him – I didn’t say he learned it.” This carton clearly demonstrates what we already know and that is there is a distinct difference between teaching and learning.

A young man’s attitude to learning and to himself will be coloured by the qualities of the culture of the school, his teachers and their ability to understand the science of both teaching and learning which are different but indeed interrelated. For this reason, teachers must do more than grind through the course but also clearly understand how boys learn. It is important they build a relationship and enter the world of the young man. Humour, involvement in the co curricular program, showing an interest and being approachable will help but over familiarity will not.

Much research has been done in the science of how boys learn. Boys are different. These differences are part of the magic there is in raising and educating boys. It is important to acknowledge the sameness so a boy feels he can identify with the group. It is also important to acknowledge a boy’s uniqueness. Fortunately, schools are becoming aware that students are different and have unique learning styles and as educators in our context here at

Terrace we continue to explore and develop boy friendly learning environments.

Towards the end of this term I had the opportunity to be part of some the very exciting learning opportunities for our young men that are specially designed to complement the rigour of the classroom. As a result of the successful Immersion Program and the Waterford experience for our Year Ten students, our Year 9 students were involved with their Exploration Units, which are another initiative of the Middle Years of Schooling. The aim of the Exploration Units is to provide opportunities for the students to make connections between classroom learning and the outside world. This year the young men had the choices of seven units:

• National Explorer

• I Wish I Was a Rock Star

• Theme Park Physics

• Getting Animated

• Blokes Who Cook

• Milpera Exploration

• Impact Study – Stradbroke Island

During this program students had the opportunity to cook up a storm, explore the National Capital, design and craft intricate animations, work with and befriend migrant students at Milpera High School, learn complex scientific processes and then apply them at Dreamworld, conduct an impact study of Stradbroke Island and become true rock stars.

Also, during this same period of time, our Years 5-7 students were involved in a Science Fair which was simply outstanding in the quality of the research and displays that were presented. Dr Paul Bird, a CSIRO Marine Biologist was our guest and judge on this occasion. Congratulations to Ben Fraser and Edward Wilson who took out honours for their experiments involving renewable energy and using recycled water in the garden. The Year 6 winners, Thomas Bernie and Joseph Howard, informed us on the best stain remover and the winning Year 5 team consisting of Campbell Carsley, Ryan Gibbons, Conor Vanham and Max Wobcke for their experiment investigating the longevity of various brands of chewing gum.

These activities, along with the Dimension of Learning and Habits of Mind frameworks, that facilitate the Teaching and Learning in our classrooms are simply the frameworks of further engaging our young men into meaningful learning. It is exciting times for our boys’ learning environments.

The Australian Government recently announced the Lord Florey Student Prizes of 2006. The Government is keen to

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TEACHER

The most significant influence on the educational outcomes of school aged children is the teacher. According to Dr Ken Rowe of the Australian Council of Educational research, variance in educational performance is influenced:

• 5.5% by the school

• 35% by the student

• 59% by the teacher

Source: Paper presented by Dr Ken Rowe at the Symposium “Educational Attainment and Labour Market Outcomes,” Melbourne 22-23 November 2000

recognise excellence in schools and the Lord Florey Student Prize celebrates the outstanding achievement of the very best students from secondary schools across the country. Lord Florey is known for his role in developing the life saving medicine penicillin in the 1940s, and winning the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1945. His work led to profound benefits for humankind. Born in South Australia, a medical graduate of the University of Adelaide, a Rhodes Scholar and the first Australian to be the President of the Royal Society of Medicine, Howard Florey is one of Australia’s greatest scientists. We congratulate James Carroll, Victor Neep, Daniel North, Benjamin Treffene, and Alexander Wood, who were graduates of the 2006 Senior Class. As recipients of this prize they will receive a certificate of excellence and a cheque for $2,000 from the Australian Government.

Congratulations also come from the French Embassy following a competition run by the Embassy here in Australia. High School students were asked to design a tourism website for one of the French cities where the Rugby World Cup matches will take place. Our Co-ordinator of French, Mrs Thais Morgan-Pertus and two year eleven students Patrick Forrest and Alex Look entered this competition and the website they designed for the city of Marseille won the first prize of a trip to France with their teacher. Mrs Morgan-Pertus, Patrick and Alex will travel to France from 21 September to 1 October. They will be staying in Bordeaux where they will be welcomed by the Rotary Club and they will stay with French families. On 29 September they will attend the game between Canada and Australia at the Chaban-Delmas Stadium in Bordeaux. Their trip will finish with one day and one night in Paris where they will attend the match between Ireland and Argentina. Well done boys!

With best wishes

Walking for Want, 2007

Students walking for want are pictured below. It was part of their Lenten Appeal which raised $26,348 for their outreach to the wider community. These funds were allocated to Edmund Rice Camps in South Africa which was presented by Tom Elliott (12K) who worked with them last year; to Comunidade Edmund Rice in East Timor where Terrace students have paid many visits, though unsettled conditions this year prevented it, but students (and parents!) are very much involved still; and to Milpera High School presented by Tom Morahan (10K) who has worked with newly arrived refugee students there helping their integration into high schools in the Brisbane area. AtMilpera the funds will help many students to attend their school camps this year.

The funds were accepted by Mr Brian Garonne from Edmund Rice Education and Mrs Adele Rice, Principal of Milpera High School on behalf of their organisations.

An unfamiliar stockman THE “DOC”

The “Doc” was a country boy from Warwick. He taught first in NSW and came back to his home state in 1940. Br Campbell was a successful Headmaster and a well-known educationalist in Queensland. He was at Terrace for twentytwo years and did much good including the purchase of the Tennyson Playing Fields in 1962 and the building of the “Senior School” in 1964.

He did not have much chance for horseriding after he arrived at Terrace in 1943. Most will be surprised to see the photo above! His legacy can be seen at Terrace by looking around!

GPS Debating, 2007

The 2007 GPS Debating Competition concluded recently. The organisers said that over 400 students of the Colleges from the various age divisions were involved and that 105 teams took part in the competition.

Place PRESENTATION

On May 4 2007 over a hundred and twenty Year 10 parents gathered with Mr Peter Chapman (Principal) and Mr Ray Celegato (Dean of Waterford) and several staff members for drinks in the Waterford Place Foyer.

The parents presented Mr Celegato with a Waterford crystal vase to be displayed in the cabinet in Waterford Place. Mr Chapman was also presented with a smaller version of the vase. The vases were shipped from Waterford, Ireland, especially for the occasion. The craftsmen of Waterford seated the vases on wooden plinths that were inscribed to say that the vases were gifts from the parents and students of the inaugural Year 10 class at Waterford Place.

The four ladies in the photo above are the Year 10 Class Coordinators from

the Terrace Ladies Group. Coordinators are responsible for providing a variety of social activities for each Year level. At the beginning of each year the TLG asks for volunteers in each year group in the College and they organise morning teas, dinners, etc, for the parents to get together and meet in an informal setting. The drinks night at Waterford Place was one of these functions.

Br Dan Courtney (GT 1957-64)

Readers might have noticed the weekly notice in “Terrace News” requesting prayers for, amongst others, Brother Courtney. Parents, students, staff and Old Boys have been praying for the welfare of Br Dan Courtney since October 2001 when he lapsed into a coma after a head injury following a two-vehicle accident in a part of East Timor away from regular roads and populated places.

The accident occurred when he was heading for a remote East Timor village riding the motor bike that Terrace students had presented to the Brothers and their helpers in East Timor for getting from place to place on very poor roads. He suffered serious head injuries, but was not able to get to medical care for some hours and by then it was too late. He was quickly repatriated to Australia, and is still receiving all possible care. He has friends who make sure his limbs are moved every day to keep them supple, but despite all possible attention he is still unable to communicate with those who are trying to help him.

He was an enthusiastic Terrace student who went through the whole school from Year 5 to Year 12. He was a College Prefect, in the First XV, in the First VIII and an officer in the Cadets.

Fr Jim Hynes

TUESDAY MASS BEFORE SCHOOL

Many thanks to Fr Hynes who regularly says Mass for students, staff and parents on Tuesday mornings. We are very grateful to him.

He joined the Brothers after leaving school and from 1968 to 1982 he taught in North Queensland and Brisbane, including three years at Terrace. He went to Centre Education, Kingston, in 1984 and then was selected by the Brothers to be a member of the Provincial Council from 1991 to 1996. He had two years of study and then went to East Timor in 1999. He was as enthusiastic as ever until his accident. He was transferred to Canossa at Oxley where he is still. Let us continue to pray for him with hope. Br Courtney, the Rugby player and teacher is in the photograph at the left with Mr Broad still at Terrace.

A Family Affair!

In 1942 John C Fanning was a member of the College First XI. He enlisted in the Armed Forces and his name is on the Honour Board blessed last year and he was present at the College Anzac Day Commemoration this year.

By 1976 his son, John J, was Captain of the College First XI. In 1985 another son, Paul J, was also Captain of the GT First XI. His younger Brother, Bernard J, was in the 1986 First XI, but is now better known as the lead singer of “Powderfinger”!

His grandson, Nicholas, was Vice-Captain of the 2005 First XI and this year another grandson, Dominic, was also Captain of the College First XI. I wonder if any other Terrace family might have a father, son and grandson all captains of the GT First XI Cricket?

SCHOLARSHIP CLASS MEMBERS, 1949

A student remembers the occasion pictured below!

TERRACE CHOIR AND BROTHER HANNIGAN IN BRISBANE CITY HALL, 1946

The occasion was St Patrick’s Day concert. Amongst the pupils would have been Paul Sherman (GT 1945-1951) who wrote the letter below after the St Joseph’s Day Luncheon at the Irish Club in 2007.

Dear Brother Hannigan,

You taught me sixty years ago at Gregory Terrace and introduced me to singing, especially to my lifelong love of opera, when you conducted the choir in the Baracrolle from “The Tales of Hoffman”. My voice was breaking and I could not manage the top notes, but you let me open my mouth silently for them. Singing in the school choir in a City Hall concert did much for my confidence. Later I sang in opera choruses including the bass line in my favourite, “Don Giovanni”.

I am writing to thank you. Because of another commitment I could not come to the St Joseph’s Luncheon last Friday, but Des Dann (now my doctor) told me you were there. Today I am calling in at the school to find your Melbourne address,

My heartfelt thanks,

Paul Sherman

[Mr Sherman sent a copy of his letter to the Principal, Mr Chapman, who passed it to the Archives. Many thanks, Paul. I am sure Br Hannigan must have been pleased!]

Dr Shane Thompson, Alan’s son, was at Terrace from Year 6 to Year 12, from 1964-1970. In his final year he was appointed one of the Prefects and was Cox of the First VIII. At the end of the year he won a Commonwealth Scholarship.

He went to UQ and graduated in 1976 and completed his radiology training at Princess Alexandra Hospital in 1983. Later he was a Research Fellow in Harvard Medical School and returned to Australia in 1986. He held radiology positions in Brisbane Hospitals and was a part-time Clinical Tutor at UQ. He moved to the Gold Coast in 1995 and became a partner in South Coast Radiology. He was later appointed Assistant Professor of Bond University Medical School.

Dr Thompson is a Specialist in Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine and is a member of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Nuclear Medicine. His special interest areas include Diagnostic Untrasound, Chest Radiology including Echocardiography, CT and Cardiac Nuclear Medicine. In 2000/01 he held the position of Secretary of the Gold Coast Medical Association.

His other interests include sports and the arts. He is a member of the Queensland Rugby Union, Brisbane Cricket Ground Trust, Queensland Art Gallery Foundation and the University of Queensland Alumni Association.

TERRACE FIRST EIGHT, 1970

Edmund Rice Mass, 2007, Fr Chris Gleeson, SJ

St Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace was the first College the Christian Brothers opened in Queensland. It has always held a place in Christian Brothers’ thinking and a good number of past students dedicated their lives to serve God as Brothers.

This was in the minds of those who organised the Founder’s Day Mass and Brothers were invited to attend the celebration. Fifteen were able to come, including past Headmasters and past students. Later in the Mass these were presented with a tibouchina plant with these words. “Thank you.... this small gift acknowledges the gift you have been to this community. It is a symbol of the seeds that have been sown and the prospect of growth in the future.”

Fr Chris Gleeson, the celebrant, has been welcomed in procession. The altar servers Jacob Linberg (8B) and Fraser O’Donnell (8K) hold the candles as Br Tim Scott prepares the altar as the coloured altar cloths representing different areas of the new Christian Brothers’ Oceania Province are being brought forward by visiting Brothers. Interestingly enough, Br Scott is standing more or less where he grew up as a boy living in one of the houses eventually demolished to make room for new College buildings such as the Campbell Centre.

The picture at left shows Br Len Marshall, former Provincial and staff member at Terrace 19741978 carrying the red cloth representing Australia while Br Brian Grenier (GT 1947-51) and staff member 1957-58 and 1963-64 carries the blue cloth representing New Zealand.

During his homily, Fr Gleeson thanked those who had composed the words of the Mass Programme as they were so appropriate to the solemn occasion. As one of the Christian Brothers present, the Editor certainly thought that the whole Mass, the symbolism used, the thoughts presented and the readings used were all excellent!

The Prayers of the Faithful saw many aspects of Terrace life today as Sam Cross (6M), WIlliam Greig (9R), Ms Jenelle Grant (Support Staff), Dominic Bashford (10M), Stephen Hohn (New Staff) and BrTony White (Past Principal) read their intercessions.

At the end of the Mass the shapes of Australia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and East Timor were placed on the symbol frame - seen at top right - and Br Larkin (GT 1944) was invited to place a traditional Oceanic mat on the Lord’s table and together with the other Brothers read the Mission Focus Statement for Oceania. The Years 5 and 6 students next gave the Brothers their gift of a tibouchina plant.

Andrew Quinn, College Captain, asked Dr Bill Sultmann as Director of Edmund Rice Education to mission staff and students to live out the challenge that the Gospel and Edmund Rice’s dreaming puts before us. Then the staff stood and read the committment statement from their booklets.

Next, College students made their committment statement in unison.

Finally all assembled said the College Prayer together.

Fr Gleeson gave the final blessing and the 2007 College Founder’s Day Mass ended with a resounding rendition of “Terrace to the Fore”.

Br Coman McCarthy (GT 1932-36) is the oldest of our Old Boy Brothers. He was also on the Terrace community list from 1994 to 2000 when the House was closed and he moved to retirement at Canossa. With him is current staff member Huby Vink

Mervyn Warren leads a four-generation line of Terracians!

A Terrace Visit to India

In 1985, long before it became “fashionable” for Australian students to visit schools in third-world places like India to see for themselves what dreadful conditions their fellow students lived and studied in, a group of Terrace teachers and students visited Calcutta.

As it happened there was a picture of this visit in the Archives and there were intriguing mentions of it in the 1985 and 1986 College Annuals. Then an 82-year old Brother, in India since 1950, came to stay recently with the Brothers while he visited his twin sister, a Mercy nun, who came to Queensland when he went to India. He was able to name each of the Brothers in the photo, but finding someone who could name students in Year 11/12 from over twenty years ago was harder. That is until it was realised that one of the visitors is presently the father of a student in Year 5! He was only too happy to put names on the other Terracians in the photo.

MIDDLE:

One of the veterans present at the Terrace Commemoration of Anzac Day was War Correspondent Merv Warren. He was a pupil at Terrace in 1929-30. At the lunch in the Founder’s Room after the ceremony he asked to say a few words. He told us that soon after he had returned in 1931 to do Senior he was called to the Office of the then Headmaster, Br Kearney, who later wrote the words of the College Song. Br Kearney asked Merv if he would like to meet Terrace Old Boy Archbishop Duhig to start work as a reporter for The Catholic Leader. Br Kearney must have noticed qualities in the young Merv because before he retired he had become a Chief of Staff of The Telegraph, the Queensland afternoon paper. Since it was the start of the Depression and jobs were scarce Merv quickly accepted, though Dr Duhig had some difficulty with the fact that his name was “Mervyn Campbell Warren” - not many saints’ names there! So Merv became “Joseph” to the Archbishop for the next four years until Merv joined The Telegraph as a general reporter where he stayed 24 years.

In 1942 General Douglas MacArthur arrived in Brisbane and with three other journalists Merv put on army uniform and served as a war reporter for Australian afternoon newspapers and at times for the London Daily Mail and the American United Press

Merv married Norma in 1940 and when she died in 2004 at their Gold Coast retirement place, they had been married for 64 happy years. Their son Kerry was at Terrace from 1956-1964. He bacame a lawyer and spent some time in Rabaul PNG where one of the senior partners was a member of the Governing Council of St Paul’s Teachers College where Br Gagen was Principal. Ted Howard (GT 1947-1955) had two sons Paul (GT 1974-81) the current GTOBA President and Edward (1976-73) who married one of Merv’s granddaughters, Tricia, and their son, also Edward, is in Year 6 this year.

Merv had two brothers. The eldest, Jim RIP, left St James’ after completing Year 10, but Merv and Bill came to Terrace. Bill was the youngest and was quite a sportsman. He was well-known in Terrace as he was Captain of the First XV (1935) when he was still in Year 10. He and Merv

both have their names on the World War Two Honour Board. They used to celebrate birthdays at the Tattersalls Club until Jim died, Bill moved to WA and Merv moved to the Gold Coast. The picture at the right shows one of these birthday occasions.

One of Bill’s greatest sporting memories is when he was in the RAAF and was invited to represent Australia in a four-way tennis competition at Wimbledon against airmen from USA, England and Norway. Bill won the singles for Australia. The photo (at top) shows him (black pullover) at Wimbledon where a hole in the roof came from German bombers; and the other photo (at top) shows the inscription on the “Wimbledon Cup” which he won for the RAAF in 1943.

Amongst other losses in the 1985 very severe Brisbane hailstorm - e.g. most of the outside windows facing west over the whole College and Brothers’ House - was the serious water damage to some of the photoboards on the stage in College Hall. The 1945 Photo-Board was completely tuined. This was especially serious as there was no 1945 Annual Magazine because of the War and so few alternative sources for the photos missing..One of the results is that we have no photo-board of the 1945 Seniors

Middle School Production, 2007

Congratulations to the Director, Mr Darren Collins, other staff members and the sixty students from the Middle School (Years 5 to 9) who presented “The Play of the Royal Astrologers” over three evenings. Great entertainment!

College Retreats

The Year 10 Micah Retreats started towards the end of Term 2. Each House in Year 10 (at Waterford Place) has a Retreat at the end of their camp at Lake Maroon. This focusses on the Micah passage from Scripture: Love tenderly, act justly and walk humbly before your God.”

The theme calls on our young men to search within themselves and look at who they are now and who they wish to become.

Activities such as a “Trust Walk” into Waterfall Gully [Photo above] and some quiet time in the bush [Photo below] allow our young men to take time our from their busy day-to-day schedule at Terrace. Then they may reflect on life and see how they can become part of the building of a better world for all.

The photo below shows students listening to Mr Ernst explaining how the “Trust Walk” works. Students wearing a blindfold will trust their companion to lead them on the rocky walk safely.

Society and Environment - History

In this part of their course, the Year 8 classes are given a professional demonstration in Japanese Samurai culture and martial practice by Sensei Patrick McCarthy, PhD, an international authority on Samurai history and military practice.

QUESTION TIME

Students have plenty of questions about what they had just had demonstrated for them about the Samurai and their way of life [Above]

COMBAT DISPLAY

WEAPONS DISPLAY

The picture at right shows the weapons that were on display to help students’ understanding of the life and customs of the Samurai. Included were katana, wakalashi, tauto, daiku and a kabuto. Seeing these weapons and having experts display how they were used opened a very different life-style to the students

Mathematics Team

TERRACE YEARS 11/12 MATHS TEAM

Nick Gattas (12M), Tom Heard (12B), Daniel Lancini (11T), Dominic Nelson (11B), Max Stephens (12R)

Terrace entered seven teams of five students each into the Brisbane North Mathematics Team Challenge hosted by Ferny Grove State High School. There were three divisions: Year 8, Years 9/10 and Years 11/12. Terrace had two teams in Division 1, three in Division 2 and two from Year 8 in Division 3.

One of the two Year 11/12 teams - photo above - was successful on the day. And we congratulate them. They compete in the Brisbane Finals in Term 3.

The experience of the “Mathletes” (as they called themselves) was that the opposition was very strong and that very challenging questions were attempted requiring speed and accuracy. They found the day enjoyable and stimulating.

Changes from 1964-2007

BESIDE THE CALLAN CENTRE

After 43 years, the area is now part of the Staff Room. It has also, like the rest of the school been “greened”. However the effect of the recent drought can be seen in the dying bushes that can no longer be watered. The steps are still there, but are now overgrown and it is no longer part of a recognised path.

Where the observer used to look up to flats, now he sees the additions built as part of GT125

SENIOR RETREAT 1964

It is 1964 and Br Campbell has supervised the building of the new Senior School. Our photo shows the Seniors making their Annual Retreat and using the new Senior Library. The building contained classrooms, science rooms, and library. Attached were a Chapel, two classrooms, a basement, tuckshop and toilets.

(The students after 43 years would be about sixty years old this year!)

Terrace celebrates 125 years of Edmund Rice Education

ONLY THOSE WHO WERE IN YEAR FIVE IN 2000 WILL BE IN THIS PHOTO!

Students begin their walk back to the College after Mass at St Stephen’s. After lunch the 2000 Whole College Photo was taken. It was a day to remember and only a few are still at the College!

This was the turn of the century. Those who were active then will remember how nervous people were. Many of us were quite terrified about what might happen as the clocks rolled from 1999 to 2000. Many very serious people thought that - as with some electronic devices - computers could not cope with the change and would just collapse and we would be facing chaos the next day with our computer world in ruins!.

Fortunately all was well-organised and we went into 2000 nervous, but gradually full of confidence as we realisedf that our New Millenium would be as good and as worthwhile as we wanted it to be! And a 125year-old Terrace was part of the promised happiness!

Year 7 Science Fair

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON!

The Queensland Rhodes Scholar for 1976, Michael Wilson and his wife Cheryl-Ann, support their son, Edward (7W), who won the Year 7 Science Fair, 2007. His topic is very much in people’s minds in the Brisbane of 2007.

TOPICAL: RENEWABLE ENERGY

The runner-up in the Year 7 Science Fair, Ben Fraser (7W), also chose a very topical subject in Brisbane for his 2007 assignment.

JUDGING THE SCIENCE FAIR

The three Year 5 Science teachers at Terrace judged the Year 5 entries in the Sciernce Fair. From left: Mr Innes Harriman, Ms Anne McNeel and Ms Kitty Munroe.

Dr Paul Bird, a CSIRO Marine Biologist, again judged the Year 7 section. He said, “I am blown away by the amount of science that has gone on in this one room,” as he awarded the winners.

We loved them in life, let us not forget them in death........

We have learned of the death of these former Terracians:

WW2 Veteran

After school George joined the Department of Public Instruction as a despatch officer. He soon joined the armed forces and after the War returned in the Supply Section. Over the years he rose to Head of the Supply Section and by retirement was an Assistant Director General. His life was religion and family oriented. May he rest in peace.

ADAM BEVIS IN ACTION, 2007

Congratulations to Adam on his selection in the Octathlon (8 events) at the IAAF World Youth Championships to be held at Ostrava, Czech Republic, in July 2007. Despite injuries over the last couple of years he won the South Australian Decathlon this year with a South Australian record of 7055 points - also a World Youth qualifying score.

In 2005 he won the GPS 100m Hurdles in record time and the Australian All Schools Multi Events in an Australian record score of 4949 points. We wish him well in July.

As we were!

THE OLD ROWING SHED

This was one of the last photos taken (from the Storey Bridge) of the change-over from the New Farm Boathouse to the new C L Dillon Boathouse at Tennyson.

The New Farm base had been donated by Archbishop Duhig and was used as Terrace grew accustomed to GPS Rowing. Rowing had been revived by Br Hodda in 1953 and the Shed, costing £4000, was completed by August, 1958. (BBC had allowed GT to share their rowing facilities while it was being built.) New Farm was the home of Terrace Rowing until the move to Tennyson in late 1994. The “Farewell to the Old Shed” was held on October 8, 1994.

ON IT’S WAY!

From the base of a scrum on a very dusty Tennyson field, Under 14A halfback, Liam O’Hare, sends the ball on its way. The game against Ipswich Grammar finished with a 38-0 win for the team.

So far this year the Under 14A team has had a very good season with a good measure of success.

CHAPMAN

A Terrace Kiwi-Wallaby

“How does a Kiwi-born kid from Melbourne end up in a Wallabies jersey!” is how Digby Ioane imagines people think about him. This is because he arrived in Melbourne as a five-year old from New Zealand. From the very beginning he had one ambition - to play Rugby for Australia! So an understanding father enrolled Digby in Queensland’s well-known Rugby breeding ground, Gregory Terrace in Brisbane. He was here in 20022003.

He was in the 31-man Wallaby 2005 Spring Tour of Europe, but he didn’t play as a Wallaby. He said, “I learned a lot from that tour and had the chance to tour alongside some of the best players in the world. It was the best thing in the world for me at the time and has helped me to get to where I am today.” And when he was named in the Wallabies’ starting XV against Wales in Brisbane recently, “It’s unbelieveable that it’s about to happen, but I thank God for giving me this opportunity and I’m really looking forward to taking the field in a Wallabies jersey. It’s a dream come true.”

And anyone who was lucky enough to see his try against Wales - his first try in his first weekly game - will also feel gratitude to his father, Natutuitasina, for his understanding.
