VIRGINIA TRIOLI \ AN EYE FOR AN EYE

A

wise friend, schooled in and a servant of the law, once told me he had no problem with the concept of the death penalty as punishment, or even as a society’s retribution for the most heinous of crimes, except in one respect: the law can get it wrong.

And if there is the possibility of even one person being incorrectly killed for a crime of which they are not guilty, then that is enough to put aside capital punishment for all time.

He had a rather compelling argument for how a sophisticated and advanced society could justify this most final of punishments, but I don’t recall how that went. All I remember is his insistence that justice cannot be done to the victims of crime – the murdered, the family and loved ones of the murdered – when a convicted criminal can walk free after 16 or so years and start life again. Something complete, he argued, needed to be taken from them; if it wasn’t going to be their life, then it could at least be the possibility of a life beyond bars. They would forfeit their right to life as we know it.

I will never forget the amazement, the simple incredulity I felt when a shockingly young, stupid and reckless bunch of Australians were arrested at Denpasar’s airport, and others at a Kuta Beach hotel, with a great whack of heroin crudely duct-taped to their torsos. How dumb could you be? How bloody selfish, as young people, to join in a trade that hoped to

enslave other young people to such a vicious drug. Then, I started to wonder just how vulnerable and just how ignorant they must have been to fall prey to this scam.

The two labelled as ringleaders, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, I could barely look at their images.

Selfish thugs.

They were the usual primary emotions you feel when first confronted by a stupid crime, and they were certainly not worthy of being committed to paper.

Until today I don’t think I’ve written a word about the Bali Nine – not even when it was revealed the Australian Federal Police played a role in their arrest, apparently taking the desperate pleas of a father who suspected his son was about to embark on a crime and then tipping off its Indonesian counterparts that Australians were planning to smuggle drugs. (The AFP has rejected the suggestion it has blood on its hands and has said it will explain its position better once all clemency requests have been dealt with.)

But when Indonesia marshalled the equivalent of the Fifth Fleet and the 3rd Battalion to escort two young men, who since their arrest had become a pastor and a painter, to a small island to be executed by firing squad, the sorrow and the absurdity and the hypocrisy of the situation became overwhelming.

Indonesia has been a fierce and well-funded force of intervention on behalf of its own domestic workers

who find themselves facing the death penalty overseas – maids who have been so abused, sometimes raped, by their employers that they strike back fatally. In one recent high-profile case, the Indonesian government even paid “blood money” to have a death sentence commuted to life imprisonment.

I won’t waste your time arguing the difference between murder in self defence and a failed attempt at drug smuggling. All that matters here is that Indonesia is desperate to save its own people from death, and will intervene in any way possible to secure that.

The fact the country’s own laws recognise rehabilitation as a mitigating factor in deciding punishment makes the argument with our neighbour even more absurd.

Just how modern and how genuine is our relationship with this powerful neighbour? What does it really mean and what does it amount to at a time when almost an entire nation has pleaded to spare the lives of two men who have recently done more good in their lives than they ever did before?

I know that a whole lot of beef cattle seem to bellow louder than softly spoken words of diplomacy: how special is this relationship? We’re about to find out. \

e need to find a name to describe the feeling The hostility is, of course, felt by the person who of resentment one adult feels towards another is up, not the person who gets the extra hours in the who, through fair means or foul, manages to sack. Clearly. squeeze in an afternoon nap.

My kids like to get up early on weekends because Napgate? Napenvy? they can, and it is the only time they are allowed Jealoustireduglyangryperson syndrome? to watch movies during daylight hours. You mariticide We need to name this thing, because would think they would by now know how to might the feelings of hostility that can present get a bowl of cereal, put a disc in the machine become themselves when someone discovers someone and turn it on without adult supervision (they else has managed to get more sleep than manage to do this at times when they are not a reality them can grow and intensify over many years. actually supposed to be watching a film or, for I suspect it may well have already ended good that matter, eating cereal). marriages and life-long friendships.

But not at 6.30am on Saturdays apparently, which I have found through personal experience that is generally the time when early-wake-up-anger, and the snooze envy might develop most in intensity around I-did-it-last-week-your-turn-I-was-up-all-night-haven’tthe ongoing conundrum that is the Saturday morning slept-a-wink-can-you-go-oh-f-f-s bit starts to happen. At sleep-in, and someone else’s ability to have one these times, I feel that mariticide caused by a lack of nap because the other person has got up with the kids. might actually become a reality.

Over here, the other adult specialises in freelancing, which means he can often squeeze an afternoon siesta into his day. In fact, after many years of marriage, I’ve come to realise he might even schedule his working life in such a way to ensure he has one. A nap, that is, not a working life.

So, when I get home from a tough day slaving in the mines and spot the evidence – an altered pillow arrangement, man-shaped creases on top of the doona, and the newspaper, clearly read from cover to cover, scrunched up on our bed – I know it’s happened again and that’s when I feel the thing, the seething resentment, the black taste of bitterness at the back of my throat, and I end up saying something like “well, some of us have actual real work to do” or “shame not all of us have the kind of life where we can take a nap in the afternoon, and did you actually manage to cook dinner then?”.

It does bring out the worst in us, this nap-fury thing. No one likes crawling through the fog of the day knowing that a mere extra half hour under the covers could potentially make everything one needs to face in the day just that little bit more tolerable.

Apparently there are some happy, bouncy, shiny people out there who have successfully managed to negotiate and maintain a sleep-in/afternoon-kip schedule for the entire time they’ve been raising kids, but my research indicates the majority of us just soldier on half asleep and always just a little bit cross with each other because we just don’t ever feel, and let’s face it who does, that we get enough ZZZs. Surely it’s about time someone came up with a therapy/bestselling-self-help book to help us navigate this sleepless hell.

I’m thinking, if I can squeeze in a nap right now, I might be able to come up with a good name for it. \ khall@theweeklyreview.com.au

DECANTER ER \ BEN THOMAS LOOKS TO GERMANY FOR SEASONAL INSPIRATION

SWEET MOSEL

The Mosel, in Germany’s south-west, is Germany’s second-biggest producer of riesling.

“Mosel riesling is dominated by schist soils [rock-based soil rich in magnesium and potassium but is poor in organic nutrients and nitrogen] and the combination of the cooler temperatures and schist

4 RD 1 20 WAR IA A E H TI NN L U WI M

Christmann says. “It’s also a quite cool area, with very different soil types and it’s successful with dry-style rieslings on one hand, but also with sweet ones.

“The dry-style riesling of Nahe is very vibrant, it’s lean, it’s a mineral wine, and not too full-bodied.”

(ELIZABETH CLANCY)

RACY RHEINGAU

RI STM A N N ST EFFE N CH

Further down the Rhine valley is the Rheingau.

“Rheingau is similar in character to the wines of the nearby Nahe,” Christmann says. “Maybe it’s a bit better: it’s a bit warmer, so they do a more dry style, but these dry-style wines from Rheingau have to be also a bit higher in sugar. Something around 7-9 grams, for example, because Rheingau acidity is also very steely, very sharp.”

F

or me, this was the summer of riesling. Judging by my social media feeds, I wasn’t alone. But there’s no reason to let a change in season keep me from riesling.

The myriad styles the noble grape produces make it suitable drinking all year round. Australia excels in dry, refreshing riesling and, as the days get shorter and the nights cooler, I’ll look towards the diversity in the wines from Germany for my riesling fix.

From the Mosel in the north to the Pfalz down south, the style of riesling changes from sweet to off-dry and dry. Balance is the key to German riesling as winemakers strive for harmony between intense acid, flavour and sugar. In order, from sweet to dry, the major styles are auslese, spätlese, kabinett and trocken.

The style is usually on the label, but knowing what each area specialises in makes choosing easy.

No winemaker is better placed to talk about German riesling styles than Steffen Christmann, president of the Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter – a century-old association of Germany’s top wine producers.

“Let us start in the north and go south, which means going from cool temperatures to warm temperatures,” says Christmann, a winemaker in Pfalz. “There are big differences in climate and in soils, and that makes rieslings in Germany quite different.”

makes wines more steely, more lean,” Christmann says.

“Riesling at the Mosel River is mostly balanced, with higher sugar levels. Traditionally it was sweet: fantastic kabinetts, light and elegant, more complex spätlese and very dense auslese.”

SWEET & DRY NAHE

“Then we come to the next area on the journey, also a river that goes into the River Rhine. It’s the Nahe,”

Ben Thomas’ German wine selections

“The next area on the River Rhine is Rheinhessen, where it’s becoming warmer,” Christmann says.

“There is a real difference between the north and south in the region. In the north, it’s close to Rheinhessen and to the Rheingau River, and in the south it’s coming over to the next area, Pfalz.

“Rheinhessen is one of the most successful areas for dry riesling in Germany.”

Pfalz is the largest single producer of riesling in the world, with 6000 hectares planted with riesling vines.

“It is maybe the magic point for dry style, because it’s cool enough to have the crispy acidity and the nice minerality, but it’s warm enough to have a good structure and a full body,” Christmann says. “You could do perfect dry rieslings with very low sugar levels, 2-5 grams, it’s perfectly round, you don’t need more.” \ bthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au

WINNER 2013 HIA AWARDS

FOOD \ LEANNE TOLRA REVIEWS TOKYO KY TINA KYO

W

e liked her sisters almost immediately, but I think it will take Melbourne a little longer to embrace Tina. I suspect she’s the family’s wild child, conceived during a short trip to Japan where her parents ate with abandon in restaurants and izakaya around Tokyo, then reimagined the nation’s cuisine.

Hanoi Hannah opened on High Street in Prahran in early 2012 and Saigon Sally followed in Duke Street, Windsor, just a year later. The siblings, less than a kilometre apart, share an irreverent approach to Vietnamese cuisine. Hannah the hawker bar is flirty and casual, while Sally is moodier and a little more refined.

Tokyo Tina is in a former bong shop, just 250 metres from Saigon Sally, across the road from Windsor station. Her façade is wrapped in vintage-look Japanese posters and shuttered by venetian blinds. To say her look is trashy is unkind, but there’s a calculated whiff of attitude that would make her at home beside that bong shop, or in a Tokyo laneway. Inside, slatted timber, peachy-toned walls, potted palms and a tree trunk sculpture give her a cheap and cheerful 1980s vibe, while a bespoke comic-strip wall mural and a collection of Astro Boy toys round off the kitsch.

There was talk about Tina opening last year, but the team was busy setting up Hanoi Hannah Express, which popped up on High Street in April (loaded with franchise potential). Adrian Li, Saigon Sally’s former head chef, and floor manager Charlie Rothery, have joined Simon Blacher, Paul Nguyen and Nic Coulter for the latest venture, which affirms the gang’s commitment to the south side.

Dishes such as tempura-battered jalapeños filled with a smoked chicken mousse, and the miso-marinated cobia with white ginger, pea and edamame, are the ones I think Melbourne will either love, or hate. I found the stiffness of the batter, the heat of the chilli and the subtle flavours of the mousse unbalanced in the first dish, but many will go for their fiery flamboyance. The cobia (a meaty white-fleshed game fish) is a pretty display of glistening greenery topped with segments of perfectly cooked fish, but its miso component is intensely salty and the peas and their cousins need something saucy to bind them to the fish.

I didn’t love the house dessert specialty, the Tokyo Banana, either. It’s touted as Tina’s version of the successful tira-mi-Sally (layers of macaron filled with a Vietnamese coffee parfait and peanut brittle), but I don’t think it’s a patch on that fine creation. There’s too much overripe banana flavour and the textures fight for heroics.

But I’d return in a flash for Korea- and Taiwan-inspired DIY beef-rib bulgogi that’s been long cooked until its meat flakes gently from the bone. With the rake of a fork, it collapses into the perfect stuffing for the pillowy, house-made bun served beside circles of pink pickled onion and pale yellow slices of ginger.

And I adored the scallop sashimi with its tiny beads

“i suspect she’s the family’s wild child’’

Japanese reimagined: Tokyo Tina chef Dean Alsford is taking a walk on the wild side.

(CHRIS HOPKINS)

of pearly white meat marinated in white ponzu, tickled with ginger and dusted with yuzukoshō, a paste of green chillies, citrus peel and salt. Ditto the puff and crunch of beef croquettes, served with finely shredded coleslaw and an intense tonkatsu sauce.

The roasted pork belly ramen was first-rate too, with its 63-degree egg, charred spring onion and generous slices of tender meat, and we liked the plump and dense pork and kimchi gyoza that were just misshapen enough to reveal their house-made pedigree.

Tina’s parents have chosen excellent staff, with speedy feet and sharp eyes, but there’s room for improvement.

As crowds swell, orders can become muddled, doubled, or lost. Queues are well managed, though, and footpath seating plus a narrow, low-lit slightly grungy bar help to herd the Windsor cool cats.

I thought Tina’s drinks menu a little top-heavy for the

food, with a few odd choices but, to be fair, it’s the sort of document that will evolve.

Tina’s signature dish should be the Yoyogi Beer dessert. The back story is that the idea was born when the gang were balancing and photographing a glass of beer in a park during their Tokyo jaunt. Li developed the dessert with that image in mind.

It’s a barely set pale amber jelly, served in a beer glass, topped with a layer of creamy-toned ginger panna cotta and capped with a frothy white miso and pineapple sorbet. It’s both sweet and savoury and, although it might appear dressed for a night at the pub, like Tina, it’s refreshing, different and worth getting to know. \ ltolra@theweeklyreview.com.au TO READ MORE REVIEWS

FILM Inherent Vice \ Opens March 12, Rated MA15+, 149 minutes » inherentvicemovie.com

MUSIC The second LP from this Geelong foursome is a fast and raucous beast. The double-punch opening duo High Standards and Eat It Up set the template as straightforward, infectious and wonderful post-punk.

When the band let the tempo drop, as they do on the fuzzy, slightly woozy ballad Dry Spell, they’re even better, exposing the tight melodies behind all that noise. It’s evidence the band are clearly capable of broadening their palate, shifting the aesthetic back a decade or so towards psychedelic rock, in the vein of The 13th Floor Elevators.

For the most part, however, this is full-throttle stuff that doesn’t linger a syllable longer than necessary.

Tracks such as Guilty Pleasures and Put It Back are breathless thrashes that don’t even scratch the two-minute mark. Living Large might lack the political potency or pungent attitude of punk proper, but there’s an energy, brevity and directness here (as well as a genuine affection for the genre) that makes for a thoroughly enjoyable half hour. \

Adapted from a Thomas Pynchon novel, Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest masterpiece takes the bones of film noir and plasters them with salt, suntan oil and a thick haze of reefer smoke.

There are echoes of classic Chinatown, but the closest cousin is Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye, in which Raymond Chandler’s PI was transformed into happy-go-lucky Elliott Gould.

Doc (Joaquin Phoenix) has a similar, unusually light-footed attitude for a gumshoe. Like Gould’s Marlowe, he’s an ill fit for the corrupt world he stumbles into, more at home getting stoned with his pals than infiltrating a drug-smuggling ring.

When Doc finds every road leads back to the same case, his first thought is that this might be drug-induced paranoia.

While Anderson (and Pynchon) are clearly satirising more than a well-trodden literary genre, the target of their ire is elusive. There’s a sense of an imagined America that never existed, as if taking aim at our culture’s self-mythologising. The endless summer of the 1960s is lovingly evoked and Doc is an affectionate if shambling figure but we’re never allowed to believe in him completely.

While this is a hypnotic and involving film, it repeatedly pulls the rug out from beneath us through unsettling tonal shifts. Phoenix is captivating, the cinematography is intoxicating, and the supporting actors are the strongest screen ensemble since the last Wes Anderson. \

The Red Road \ showcase, Sunday March 15, 7.30pm » showcasechannel.com.au

This new US drama is heavy on atmosphere but light on substance. While the dialogue is portentous and the camera work brooding, the characterisation feels paper-thin and the plot overfamiliar. At its heart, this is a story of worlds colliding via a teenage romance. So far, so Shakespearean. She’s a policeman’s daughter, he’s from a Native American family on the outskirts of town. When her drunken mum tries to put an end to the romance, mum ends up causing a fatal traffic accident. Or so it seems. As a result, policeman dad is forced into an uneasy alliance with a local crook to cover things up. While the script does try to wrestle with some big issues, the delivery feels clumsy, although a talented cast (including Jason Momoa from Game Of Thrones) give it their all. \

“In the first month I got first symptoms of fatty liver disease and I put on five kilos,’’ he says. “There was some talk then from the medical people who were monitoring me about stopping – but I was stubborn.

“By the end of the experiment I was on the verge of cirrhosis of the liver. So, after 60 days, it was time to pull the pin.”

Gameau says he and Tuckwell-Smith noticed a mental change. “My moods knocked me for six,” he says. “Zoe noticed I was more agitated, quicker to snap and couldn’t concentrate. I’d be fine when I had some sugar and then I’d get vague again. When I was out with friends, I was a million miles away.

“Zoe was very supportive. She knew there was a bigger picture in mind. But my dad had a lot of resistance. He was frustrated and thought I was prioritising the experiment over Zoe and the baby.

But Zoe knew I was in good hands.”

Gameau cites an exhausting trip to the US and covering 11 states in 17 days as the lowest point in his 60-day affair with sugar. During this time he interviewed sugar experts and visited sugar-decimated communities such as Barbourville, Kentucky. He says a 1.25-litre bottle of Mountain Dew contains 37 teaspoons of sugar but local children consume several cans a day.

“The hardest point was towards the end of the American trip. I was travelling with one cameraman, we were doing everything between us, we had 11

bags of equipment, we were on and off flights … and I was eating 40 teaspoons of sugar a day … and I had a moment,” says Gameau.

“I spoke to Zoe one night on the phone and then I broke down and thought, ‘What am I doing? I have this beautiful pregnant woman at home and I’m off on this bloody self-indulgent sugar-eating trip. And perhaps I’m doing damage to myself and for what?’ But then I realised that wasn’t me talking – it was the sugar.”

When the 60 days were up, it took Gameau a few weeks to detox. By then he had a very special reason to get back to his former fit self – his daughter, Velvet, now 15 months old.

“When you create a project that helps people and has meaning, something happens in you. It’s a key

to happiness. They are the values I want to teach my daughter,” he says.

As well as the film and the book, there’s a website and an app to help people identify how many sugar cubes are in various products. He’s also keen to get the film into schools, and it has already been sold to the UK and US. So life is certainly sweet for the foreseeable future for the down-to-earth actor and director. And away from the camera, life is just as sweet.

“Any moment I get away from work is spent with my daughter,” he says. \ smarinos@theweeklyreview.com.au » For screening details of That Sugar Film, go to www.thatsugarfilm.com

ME & MY MENTOR

\ CHERYL CRITCHLEY MEETS KATE HASLOCK & HEAD OF JUNIOR SCHOOL CAROL HODGSON

Special series

K

ate Haslock had just become Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar Junior School co-captain last year with Elizabeth Hoye when they were asked to speak at the school’s memorial service for its gardener of 32 years, Martin Troy. The strength Kate displayed was helped and nurtured by the school’s leadership program and head of Junior School, Carol Hodgson, who has worked with Kate since Kate arrived at the school in year 4. From year 2, students have many leadership opportunities.

School captains and house captains are elected by students at the end of year 5 for the following year. Other positions are for a term or semester.

All year 6 girls act as ambassadors. \ ccritchley@theweeklyreview.com.au

CAROL SAYS …

“I liked being the leader because I like helping & caring for people”

K

– kate

(STEVE McKENZIE)

ate had some extraordinary experiences last year and she didn’t miss a beat with the challenges and opportunities that came to her.

Every girl in year 6 has a role and a responsibility and some of those roles are for the year and some are for the semester. Since year 4, Kate had been admiring Junior School captains because they are such powerful role models. They open and close every assembly, so the girls in Junior School learn from them all the time. Kate’s also had such good guidance and support from her class teachers.

The class captains make up the Junior School Council and the Junior School captains run those meetings, supported by the deputy head of Junior School, Helen Moore. I worked closely with Kate to develop her general leadership. Kate also got public speaking tips from the principal, Dr Heather Schnagl, who provided leadership training at the beginning of the year.

We’d sit together in assembly and learnt to read each other’s signs when we needed a quick change of plan. Like their forebears, Kate and Elizabeth wanted to deliver messages and advice to the girls. They’d come up with ideas and creative ways of delivering their messages and modelling appropriate behaviour. They were also keynote speakers at the Junior School celebration night and had the audience enthralled. The growth in Kate’s confidence from the start of the year to the end was extraordinary.

The other thing that Kate and Elizabeth did at the end of the year that impressed me greatly was they made contact with the new 2015 Junior School captains and gave them a folder with their speeches and other useful information to help and support their transition into this role. Kate and Elizabeth were always two steps ahead.

Our goal in Junior School is to give every girl those leadership opportunities so they can make a contribution. In year 6, if you are not leading a group then you take a leading role as an ambassador. At the end of year 6, I say goodbye to them as they continue their learning journey.

Kate is now a capable and confident student. She has a great propensity for problem-solving and thinking ahead, and the warmth and care to give her fellow students. She has a really good mix of personal attributes. \

KATE SAYS …

A

t the start of last year, Elizabeth and I spoke at Martin’s memorial service, which was really moving. The fact that they chose us to speak … it sort of made us feel loved. He was always very caring and he always said “hello, love” to us when we were in the playground.

When I started as a new girl in year 4, I settled in quickly because the girls were caring and warm. Mrs Hodgson knew everyone’s name. She’d be walking around and it’d be like, “Hi Mrs Hodgson” and she’d be like, “Hi so-and-so” and I’d be like, “How did you know all of their names?” She was supportive and caring and just what I think a good head of school should be.

I was elected class captain in year 4. We had to take the lunch orders over to the café and we had Junior School Council meetings and looked out for everyone. I really enjoyed that. I was social service captain in year 5. We did projects and raised money. One was for breast cancer and we raised money for our World Vision child. The bake sale to raise money was the most fun because we worked together well and a lot of us liked handling the money.

At the end of year 5, all the girls who wanted to become Junior School captain presented a speech to the year 3s, 4s and 5s and all the teachers.

I was really nervous. I wanted it since year 4 because I saw all the past Junior School captains and I thought it would be fun and I had done the Public Speaking Festival (school event) in year 4.

Elizabeth and I had to run the Junior School Council. We would also email the teachers doing the assembly to see if they needed us to do anything other than the welcome and the national anthem and notices. It was busy.

When we were on camp in Canberra, at the [Australian] War Memorial, Elizabeth and I were asked to lay a wreath at a service.

I definitely got closer with Mrs Hodgson. I had a rough idea of what she did before last year but I think I have a clearer understanding of just how busy she is. She showed us that to be a good leader you need to be organised and be supportive and care for other people. My class teachers, Ms Every (year 4), Miss Munday (year 5) and Miss Ternes (year 6), were also very supportive. I liked being the leader because I like helping and caring for people. \ MARCH 11, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 15

faith

EDUCATION \ Life experience has helped to shape Matt Campbell’s teaching, writes CHERYL CRITCHLEY

T

he Reverend Matt Campbell has faced more challenges than most. He did not complete year 12 because of illness and grieved as his wife learned she could not have more children following open-heart surgery.

But Campbell’s faith helped him cross those bridges and all of his life experiences, good and bad, laid a path to his dream job as senior chaplain at Trinity Grammar School, where he works at the cutting edge of student well-being and helps to build students’ resilience by taking them out of their comfort zone.

“Life for so many young people in Australia is sanitised and cotton-woolled,” he says. “If you don’t put yourself into a situation where you’re stretched, you don’t grow.”

Trinity students certainly are challenged. Among other things, they help local charities, visit remote Aboriginal communities and tour countries such as Papua New Guinea. Five years ago, Campbell and his colleagues instigated a trip to the Philippines for boys in years 9 to 11. Last year was the most challenging so far, with a typhoon hitting Manila and 50,000 people evacuated due to a volcanic eruption near where they were staying.

The seven boys and staff, who spent five nights living with families in settlements and slums, handed out food parcels to typhoon victims. The Trinity community has also raised $100,000 in seven years for Philippines school projects that empower young people and create educational opportunities.

“After the immersion with local families our boys go, ‘Wow, this is what life is like for so many people in our world’,” Campbell says of the trip.

Campbell’s passion for social justice, which underpins his work and that of his colleagues at Trinity, was honed growing up on the Mornington Peninsula with younger brother Pete and their parents Bob and Kate. When they weren’t “going bush”, summers were spent on the beach, fishing, surfing and scuba diving.

Campbell, now 38, attended Edithvale Primary School and Mount Eliza Secondary College. His family was active in the local Baptist Church and Bob and Kate often took in young people facing challenges and needing a place to stay. Their sons learned from an early age that others were not as fortunate as them.

When Campbell was in year 10, he and his family spent a term touring Australia. They saw a lot of the country, including visiting Aboriginal communities in Central Australia and Arnhem Land. “Mum and Dad have always had a social conscience,” Campbell says. “It was incredibly eye-opening.”

As well as bringing him closer to his brother and his parents, the trip confirmed Campbell’s passion for working with and helping others. While at high school he was active in church activities and youth groups.

But his faith was tested early in year 12 when routine sinus surgery led to a major haemorrhage, which left Campbell in hospital for several weeks. He developed epilepsy and had further time off school due to seizures.

16 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ MARCH 11, 2015

“I’d make it to school for a couple of days and I’d have a seizure and wouldn’t be back for the rest of the week,” he says. “At the end of the day I wasn’t able to finish year 12.”

Campbell tried again the following year, 1995, but health issues again prevented him from finishing. It was a huge blow for a bright young student who had hoped to study medicine. With the support of his family, he coped and accepted that he would have to take a different path.

“This experience gave me a unique and helpful perspective about the pressure and challenges faced by VCE students, and I quickly learnt that there is more to life than a great year-12 score,” he says.

Instead of going to university, Campbell worked part-time at Myer as part of its Christmas team. When his supervisor fell ill, he became a team leader and started managing store events.

The work was fun and taught him about teamwork, but after five years he was ready for a new challenge.

With the epilepsy under control, Campbell continued his church involvement and moved to St Hilary’s Anglican Church in Kew. There he met his wife Melissa, a former graphic designer who now teaches at Camberwell Girls Grammar. They married in 1999, soon after Campbell quit his Myer job to reassess his future and spend time with his sick grandfather, Bob Woodward, who died soon after the wedding.

Campbell’s spiritual journey then stepped up a notch.

He secured a job at St Hilary’s as assistant children’s and families’ minister, studying theology at Ridley College as a mature-age student. He was ordained as an Anglican priest in 2006 after spending time as a chaplaincy intern at the Royal Children’s Hospital, among other placements.

The ordination process was hard work. The couple’s first son, William, was born in 2002 and Melissa had open-heart surgery for a heart problem in 2004. Unable to have more children following the operation, they adopted their Philippines-born son, J.M., in 2009 when he was almost three.

Faith sustained them through the four-year process, which ended with the joy of watching J.M.’s older brother help sign the papers. “Will travelled with us to the Philippines,” Campbell says. “Will wanted to sign so we wrote in ‘adopted brother’ and he signed the adoption papers.”

After his ordination, Campbell spent a year as an assistant chaplain at Camberwell Girls Grammar. While he hadn’t originally imagined working in a school, he loved the “incredible combination” of young people in a learning community with the Anglican ethos.

In 2006 Campbell, who went on to study counselling and education at a graduate level, moved to Trinity Grammar School in Kew as assistant chaplain. He recently added the role of director of well-being and pastoral care, heading a large team.

He is thrilled this year to be working with

world-leading Perth-based child and adolescent health researcher Professor Donna Cross, who works with schools to deliver the latest research and pastoral-care programs.

They are also imbedding the “growth mindset” approach of renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, which emphasises effort rather than results. A growth mindset encourages the development of potential ability, which all students have, while a fixed mindset can label them and hinder their progress.

With about 1400 boys from pre-prep to year 12, Trinity has always placed a big emphasis on pastoral care and social justice. It is also a vibrant faith community. The chaplaincy and religious education team tries to keep things engaging and offers classroom subjects such as “heroes of the faith” and “Jesus goes to Hollywood”. “Prayer and pastries” is a regular feature on Tuesday mornings before school, when staff and students are welcome to gather for “brekkie and a pray”.

Campbell’s role is huge, but he is excited by the challenge and the school’s use of world’s best practice philosophies. He gives leadership to the pastoral programs, counsels students and conducts chapel services, baptisms, weddings and funerals for the whole school community. He also teaches year 9 and 10 religious education.

As well as encouraging an appreciation of the world around them, Campbell and his team work hard to build resilience. New director of outreach, Tom Purcell, is part of the chaplaincy team and is charged with growing its outreach programs. The team is working to enhance its year 9 and 10 community service and outreach program and hopes to introduce an African trip in 2016 to Uganda and neighbouring countries.

If Christian values aren’t lived, Campbell argues, they don’t mean much.

“We want to be a generous community,” he says. “If our boys leave school with a heart for others, with a commitment to serve people whatever role they find themselves in, whether it’s in business, medicine, or in the trades, if they have a caring concern for others then I think we’re doing our job.”

Campbell’s own life has not followed the exact route he first planned, but he has no regrets. At just eight, he wrote to the minister of his family’s local church, saying he wanted to follow him into the ministry. The minister’s reply, which his parents gave him years later, said that he hoped Campbell would stick to his conviction. He certainly did, despite several obstacles along the way.

“I pulled that letter out during that really difficult time in 1994, thinking that my plans for the future had been dashed,” he says. “I think it really came home that … I’ve had this calling from a very young age.” \ ccritchley@theweeklyreview.com.au » www.trinity.vic.edu.au MARCH 11, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 17

“Australia is largely a secular society so first of all we’ve got the challenge of trying to sell the Catholic faith to the boys, but they also need to know what other people in our community believe in … it’s fostering understanding and acceptance.”

Sister Donohue attributes the introduction of interfaith education to several factors – globalisation and directives from Pope John Paul II among them – but says that for the dialogue to truly have an impact, it can’t just be confined to RE classes.

The school has made a concerted effort to introduce an interfaith approach in almost every subject area, from English to art.

“Even in our sports classes that address alcohol awareness, our teacher will talk about places like Pakistan and the religious reasons for lower rates of alcoholism,” she says.

“It doesn’t have to be limited to one or two classes … as a Catholic school, we have a responsibility to be in dialogue with all our brothers and sisters from all traditions.” \ jdavy@theweeklyreview.com.au

tudent retreats have long held an important place in the Catholic education system.

Fifty years ago, it was a day or two dedicated to lectures from religious leaders, prayer sessions and time for quiet reflection. From tumbling workshops to orienteering, today’s Catholic school retreat takes on many different forms, but its purpose has changed little.

reflection trip for VCE students. Platt was part of a team that revised the school’s year 12 retreat program in 2013. He says the concept of a retreat has changed because the audience has.

“The girls always ask me, ‘How much praying are we going to do?’” he says. “We accept students from a broader perspective of beliefs, so we’ve tried to create a program that focuses on the sacredness of the individual rather than directly linking activities to religious beliefs.”

Ice-breaker games and team-building challenges feature prominently on the agenda for the three-day trip, as do sharing activities that encourage students to reflect on the positives in life. Platt says that while there are no formal religious rituals, group work helps students to realise that fun has a spiritual dimension.

“All these activities are designed to move participants out of the ordinary, mundane, daily routines and the stress of their VCE study and schoolwork, to be in a space where they are feeling good and are open to experience and ponder the sacredness of their lives.”

St Monica’s College in Epping takes it one step further, with an entire campus dedicated to taking students out of their daily routines once in a while.

The school has owned Ostia at Strath Creek, an hour north-east of Melbourne, since 1999. The 7.3-hectare property has a sprawling mud-brick and cedar house that

sleeps up to 18 students, plus staff. There are also five paddocks, four dams and a couple of horses.

Overnight stays at Ostia are offered to students in years 8 and 10, with programs designed to address social issues encountered at different age groups.

Teacher Chris Callinan, who specialises in student well-being, says staff are careful to encourage the term “retreat” rather than “camp”.

“The term ‘camp’ has connotations that there’s going to be lots of physical activity and, while they’ll be spending time outside, this isn’t about ropes courses or setting up tents,” he says.

“The whole point is to facilitate an opportunity for students to talk about life and the issues that confront them.”

Circus workshops and problem-solving activities are interspersed with discussions about self-esteem and respect for others, themes Callinan says particularly resonate among the year 8s.

“As students moved from year 7 to year 8, we noticed a lot of bullying issues.

So we really try to specifically address those relationship issues.

“You’ve got to be silly if you think [bullying] isn’t going to happen at all, but we noticed a big change … most kids have become a bit more resilient and better able to develop healthy friendships.” \ JO DAVY jdavy@theweeklyreview.com.au

2. Take regular breaks Everyone needs an escape from literature essays and algebra problems. For me, it was coffee breaks at a café and late-night Big Brother reruns. Nothing takes your mind off impending exams quite like mindless reality television or a good book (something not on the English text list). Find a solace that allows you to shut down study mode for a while and rest your brain.

3. Structure your studying Allocated study timetables don’t work for everyone.

Find a structure that allows you to be productive, and stick to it. This might mean writing a to-do list and working through it. Spread your workload.

Don’t leave disliked subjects to the last minute, or over-prepare for something you’re already confident with.

4. Maintain a healthy lifestyle Exercise. Seriously. Don’t forget to get lots of sleep, drink lots of water, and try not to eat multiple blocks of chocolate while writing revision cue-cards. Find something healthy to snack on while you study (fruit or crackers with dip) but don’t be afraid to treat yourself once in a while.

5. Remember Year 12 is not the final decider of your future career/ life dreams. If a high ATAR is what you’re aiming for, give it your all. If passing maths is your goal, put in the effort. Everyone has something that they’re working towards and if you try your absolute hardest, you’re already a winner. Finishing year 12 is an

tudents and parents are experiencing the familiar feeling that comes with starting a new year of school. The back-to-school sales (and their awful advertisements) have finally ceased and the summer holidays seem like a distant memory. Most are still getting back into the swing of things but the Class of 2015 is already geared up for what is likely to be their most important year of schooling: year 12.

Going into year 12 can be incredibly daunting. There’s a lot of value placed on scores and numbers, and the word ATAR can send shivers down your spine. From achieving personal goals to parental expectations, the pressure can be immense.

However, your final year of high school doesn’t have to be an anxiety-ridden mess. As a recent graduate myself, I’ve had since the end of exams in November to reflect on the year that was. While it seemed stressful at the time, year 12 wasn’t so bad after all. For every 2am study session before an assessment, there was a fun celebration for Valedictory. For every exam, there’s a party or muck-up day to alleviate the stress.

Year 12 was an epic balancing act. It’s about finding what works for you, but sometimes it’s the “finding” part that’s tricky. Here are a few things I wish I’d known.

1. Priorities While study is important, find time for your part-time job or after-school sport. Regardless of your workload, don’t alienate yourself from friends, family, boyfriends/girlfriends. Hiding in your bat cave (study space) for hours on end is a hindrance to your work.

on’t worry, I know what to do.

Hyundai’s new Genesis is the standout bargain of the luxury-car market. It has the room of an E-class Mercedes or a BMW 5-series but it’s priced like a C-class or a 3-series. That’s a C or a 3 with a clutch of options, but nowhere near the equipment level or power of a Genesis. The Genesis has it all – navigation, leather, head-up display, smart key, lane departure, blind-spot warning, great audio and a thumping 3.8-litre V6 with an eight-speed auto.

There’s only one problem; the Hyundai badge on the boot lid. So here’s what to do. That badge is the only Hyundai identification, inside or out; otherwise the car only carries a winged badge reading “Genesis”. Just remove the “i’d have a Hyundai badge – it’ll take a mechanic genesis in two minutes – and tell everyone it’s a a flash’’ Lexus. They’ll believe you.

The Genesis is outstanding buying.

It’s beautifully built, beautifully finished, lots of lazy power. It’s connected to a comfortable, quiet, roomy and comes with gearbox that prefers responding to input a five-year/75,000-kilometre service plan. It’s to fretting about economy. OK, the economy full of good ideas. Stand beside the boot for is not brilliant but this is a comfortable, three seconds with the key in your pocket and relaxing drive with bags of go and excellent it opens. The rear seat has heaters, ventilation responsiveness. The suspension strikes a great and audio controls, and folk back there can compromise between handling and ride.

The response was the same from all And the V6 delivers heaps of torque for of them: “Ninety grand for a Hyundai? No

Same thing.

Having been in and around the car industry for yonks and cured of badge-lusting, I’d have a Genesis in a flash, but I’d be a little different. I’d leave the Hyundai badge in place and I’d give lots of Mercedes, BMW and Audi owners a drive.

Then I’d tell them what it cost and watch them go pale as they realise just how much extra they paid for their German badge. \ reasdown@theweeklyreview.com.au

HEIDELBERG HEIGHTS \ 18 FREDERICK STREET

aybe it was on a four-wheel driving trip in Cape York or a family holiday to the Kimberley. Maybe it was plunging into a green lagoon after a long hike or stumbling across a hidden waterhole encased in red rock.

There must have been a moment – some time ago, somewhere far from here – when the owners of this property decided to re-create a little bit of that back home.

Only this can explain the stunning, natural-style pool in this once suburban backyard in the heart of Ivanhoe. The gentle sound of water tumbling down boulders beckons as you step inside. Soon, the pool and its artfully landscaped surrounds fill the view. Water babbles down from the raised spa to the pool below.

Weeping plants, grasses and hardy natives grow between the rocks. Rocks overhang the water, adding to the pool’s authentic lagoon-style look and feel. A palette of red, pink and purple makes up the crazy-paved slate poolside terrace.

By so successfully re-creating an outback oasis in the backyard, the owners also transformed the whole property into a sanctuary.

Views of the pool and surrounding rocks fill most rooms in this split-level, three-storey house, allowing the calm and beauty of the outdoors to filter inside.

In addition to the landscaping, the owners also worked their magic on the inside of this 1980s brick house. They lightened up the interiors by painting the vaulted timber ceilings and heavy timber trusses white, and laying polished bamboo boards or crisp neutral tiles throughout.

They added a new, contemporary kitchen up top. It quickly became the central meeting point. The kitchen includes stainless-steel appliances and a large walk-in pantry.

Architecturally, this place has plenty of merit. The 974-square-metre block sits near the top of the hill crowned

by Ivanhoe Grammar, conveniently just across the road.

The architect therefore placed the common living and dining spaces on the top floor, allowing residents to take full advantage of the impressive views across Ivanhoe to Doncaster Shopping Town. Both spaces are connected by a wraparound verandah, with a spacious north-facing section for entertaining guests outdoors.

Bedrooms are spread across the two lower floors. The central storey is home to the good-sized main bedroom, which has a renovated en suite and walk-in wardrobe. All five bedrooms have walk-in wardrobes.

The two nearby rooms share a bathroom with separate vanity and shower areas – ideal for the morning school rush.

The kids may, however, choose to stay in the two additional bedrooms downstairs. Not only do they have easier access to the pool, but they also share a central study area. One bedroom has beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to the blue-green water.

This lower floor also has a large family space, the perfect spot for teenagers to gather while parents stay out of their hair up top. It opens to a covered sitting area under the deck.

For when the kids are old enough, there’s even enough room for their cars. This property has a double carport and a double garage – a good place to wash the Land Rover after a holiday exploring the great outdoors. \ LIAM CARTER property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Heidelberg Heights is so named for a reason. This nine-year-old double-storey house has just the right orientation in this hillside pocket to achieve spectacular city views. Built for a cabinetmaker who worked from home, it is equal parts style, comfort, practicality and efficiency. It could be the five bedrooms and three living areas that impress some but the garaging for six cars, with three-phase power, workshop and a shed, holds its own appeal. Whether you want to work from home or entertain crowds in the garage that also has air-conditioning and a kitchenette, this house comes close to being all things to all people. Two downstairs bedrooms share a two-way bathroom while three more bedrooms upstairs share a main bathroom. The vast open-plan living area has bifold doors to a terrace. This well-equipped space is great for relaxed family living. Upstairs, a rumpus with city views has its own balcony. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

The pool has artful stone paving and timber decking, and an outdoor powder room and shower. The second storey, with two bedrooms, a big bathroom and a rumpus room opening to a wide balcony shrouded in greenery, makes a wonderful children’s domain. \ KAY KEIGHERY

IVANHOE \ 9 LATHAM STREET Those seeking a grand old house without the hassle and upkeep of grand old gardens should pay this property a visit. Built in the wake of marvellous Melbourne’s late-19th-century boom, this handsome Victorian house is flush in finely preserved period features.

It has everything from the original wrought-iron fence and tessellated tile verandah out front to decorative cornices, Baltic pine floorboards and marble fireplaces inside. The once sprawling corner block was carved up last century to build nurses’ quarters when the main house was an exclusive retirement home. A manageable 564 square metres remain.

There’s an outdoor entertainment space to the side of the house and plenty of exotic hedges and trees providing privacy, shade and colour.

The property sits in the heart of prestigious Fairy Hills surrounded by other stylish houses.

It is a safe, quiet walk from Ivanhoe Grammar.

The house’s original footprint includes four exquisite bedrooms, three of which have fireplaces, a large bathroom with claw-foot bath and a spacious lounge. The family hub extension blends beautifully with the rest of the house. It has timber cathedral ceilings and stained-glass windows rescued from an old church in Doncaster. The nearby fifth bedroom has an en suite. \ LIAM CARTER

This house poses a great family start with two living zones, low-maintenance gardens, a good floor plan and a cul-de-sac location in the St Helena College zone. A carpeted living and dining zone on entry is spacious and has an open fireplace. It flows through to the central kitchen, where polished floorboards take over. Updates include Blanco gas appliances, plenty of cabinetry and a pantry.

The second living zone could be configured to suit: a kids’ rumpus, meals and study could all be accommodated. The three carpeted bedrooms are zoned together. The main bedroom has an en suite and walk-in wardrobe while the other two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes share a bathroom. There is a separate powder room and laundry. The covered elevated rear deck, set among the treetops, is a scene of tranquil relaxation. The block of about 650 square metres provides plenty of room to move. A large lawn of synthetic turf is a low-maintenance kids’ playground, and a lower-ground storeroom or workshop is an added bonus. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

30 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ MARCH 11, 2015

GREENSBOROUGH \ 46 VERMONT PARADE Greensborough has been good buying for some time for excellent family prospects in a well-serviced and accessible location. This renovated weatherboard house raises the bar and could prove a hard act to follow.

An immaculate white-painted façade sets the scene with satisfying clean lines. The renovation has achieved an all-encompassing top-to-bottom new-house feel with a design that accommodates a family in comfort and provides a great indoor/outdoor lifestyle. The block of about 670 square metres has been used efficiently, with plenty of green space front and back, and living spaces that benefit from the great north-facing rear orientation.

A variety of timbers warms the internal and external spaces. Inside, textured silvertop ash floorboards and blackbutt veneer cabinets work beautifully with white interiors. The rear open-plan adds three walls of black-framed stacked doors. They wrap around a deck of reclaimed timbers and, once outside, the silvertop ash external cladding is a highlight in itself. A covered setting, with a built-in barbecue and wood-fired pizza oven, is the perfect vantage point to watch the kids on their play equipment or in their rumpus room.

The first-floor extension is a parents’ zone with a retreat (soaked with north-facing light), walk-in wardrobe and en suite. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

There were no lorikeets in sight, but cockatoos were making a racket at the park two doors from this house on a recent Saturday morning. Other than that, the cul-de-sac, zoned for St Helena Secondary College, was its usual, quiet self and safe for kids to play in the street. The house sits on elevated ground, with a driveway rising to a tandem garage. The façade is handsome, and a vast foyer gives first inkling of the generously proportioned spaces to follow. The main bedroom suite has a walk-through wardrobe to an en suite with spa bath. Double doors from the foyer introduce the dining room. Bringing up the rear, the open-plan hub mixes kitchen and living areas and has timber floors, a feature wall with a fireplace, and glass doors to the pool and garden. Granite and stainless-steel surfaces make the kitchen swish and contemporary. The backyard splits space between open lawn and a lagoon-style pool, and the second storey intensifies large-family draw with four bedrooms, a lovely bathroom and a rumpus room opening to a balcony. \ KAY KEIGHERY

Downsizing? This house allows you to do so locally. Why hightail to the city, coast or country when you can get everything you need to live an easy life, just moments from Rosanna Parklands, the station and village. This comfortable and contemporary three-bedroom, two-bathroom house sits at the end of a row of three units. Being at the end, you can be assured maximum privacy as well as pretty park views from the window above the kitchen sink. The kitchen is a good size and cleverly designed, with a big pantry, a servery facing the living areas, and stainless-steel appliances.

When the weather is fine, you can serve meals on the covered deck, which is surrounded by trees. Living spaces include a tiled meals area and a carpeted lounge room with bay window.

With three bedrooms, there’s enough room for guests to stay and also the option to turn one room into a study. The main bedroom is flush with natural light and has plenty of wardrobe space and an en suite. There’s also a double garage, laundry and separate toilet for guests. \ LIAM CARTER

The L-shaped design of this house takes advantage of the natural attributes of its block of nearly 4500 square metres. A great bushland setting is brought to life throughout the interior, with large windows framing a new aspect in every room. The extended single storey provides zoned living and the versatility of a self-contained section with its own kitchen and living space. A two-way fireplace that ensures a cosy environment from which to enjoy the views divides the main living area.

High cathedral ceilings and windows at either end of these living spaces create attractive and light-filled interiors. With ducted heating and air-conditioning, this house is comfortable as is but there is scope to update the interiors or floor plan. The expansive grounds provide great potential for a resort-style renovation; they could easily accommodate a swimming pool and tennis court.

As a long-held family house, this one has been adapted to suit changing lives and lifestyles and looks to have a lot of promise to accommodate another family just as well. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

32 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ MARCH 11, 2015

IVANHOE EAST \ 36 ROTHERWOOD ROAD Polished and spacious interiors define this renovated residence that caters for entertaining with ease. The elevated and sloping block has spectacular garden surrounds where the tranquility belies its inner-city address.

The main bedroom, with walk-through wardrobe to en suite, is at the front of the house. French doors connect it to the wraparound verandah. The adjoining second bedroom has the convenience of a powder room on this floor. Meanwhile, on the north side of the hall, two living spaces could be configured to suit. It is a living room and study with built-in joinery. These rooms combine decorative period features with neutral interiors and plenty of timber highlights.

Comfort and style are in abundance.

The rear open-plan living area also uses timber to great effect, with polished hardwood floors, cabinetry and window frames. Walls of windows include a curved bay setting for the meals space. Smeg and Miele appliances feature in the kitchen, which is within easy reach of the outdoors. With paving, a shade sail cover, built-in barbecue and a stone fireplace in a landscaped setting, this area is a highlight.

A double-height void over the staircase creates space and light. The open feel extends to the second floor, which houses two more bedrooms and the main bathroom. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

On a wide block, there is room for a 2nd home to be built here (STCA) in the large backyard behind this classic family home. With 2 large living areas, lovely kitchen & deck. Ideal for 1st home buyers, investors, builders or downsizers.

DISCRIMINATION IN ADVERTISING IS UNLAWFUL

The Victorian Equal Opportunity Act 1995 makes it unlawful for an advertiser to show any intention to discriminate on the basis of sex, pregnancy, race, age, marital status, political or religious belief or physical features, disability, lawful sexual activity/sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status or on the basis of being associated with a person with one of the above characteristics, unless covered by an exception under the Act. As Network Classifieds could be legally liable if an unlawful advertisement is printed, Network Classifieds will not accept advertisements that appear to break the law. For more information about discrimination in advertising, contact your legal advisers or the Equal Opportunity Commission.

ADVERTISERS PLEASE NOTE

New rules apply to the advertising of dogs and cats for sale.

It is now an offence to advertise the sale of a dog or cat unless the microchip identification number of the animal is included in the advertisement or notice.

A registered domestic animal business may use its Council business registration number as an alternative.

For further information, call 136 186 or visit www.dpi.vic.gov.au/pets
