This edition of Plus Ultra captures all the fun and significance of Semester 2 at College. From the Valedictory Parade and Dinner (p 22), celebrating the Year 12’s countdown to the end of their schooling years, to sporting successes across the field (p 40-43), we have a lot to commemorate and be thankful for in the latter half of 2019. Our cover story on Ariarne Titmus highlights her journey to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics Games (p 32). Ariarne has been busy this year - not only with swimming but, she made a guest appearance at our annual Sports Lunch (p 55). Springfield's Pastor Matthew Wilksch proudly supports their collaboration with Australian Lutheran World Service as they embrace their Village Partnerships project in a Cambodian village (p 18). Pocket-rocket School Captain, Ella HusseySimmonite, launched her own not for profit and tells me how she plans to make a difference in the world (p 17).
The Music and Arts Departments showcase their numerous talents through continued chorale and instrumental ensembles, local and overseas tours and exhibitions (p 24-31). As usual, the SPOSA section of the magazine is brimming with Old Scholar achievements, news and reunion updates (p 46-57). And ICYMI, you can catch up on all the Semester 2 events in the Community section. Finally, I would like to add a corrigenda. In the June edition of Plus Ultra we missed two important Rugby premierships in the 'A Bunch of Ruck-Us' article, these being in 1963 and 1986. Thank you to our avid readers (some of whom were rugby players in these teams) for pointing this out; we always love to hear your feedback! Enjoy this edition of Plus Ultra and the upcoming silly season. Stay safe and relish the company of family, friends and loved ones. As my kids would say... eat, sleep, dance, repeat!
