HEADMASTER’S MESSAGE

Preparing young men for their role in

the global community

Throughout this year I have had numerous conversations with students, staff, parents and Old Boys about the future of the School and our vision of equipping young men to take their place in the global community.

In the winter edition of Eagles’ Wings

I presented the four key thrusts on which

our vision of the future is based. They are

ever-mindful of the bedrock upon which

any vision should be based – the School’s

four tenets. Essentially, the key thrusts of

Vision14+ are the internationalisation of

our academic programs to bring a renewed

academic focus and to ensure that we are

setting our goals to world-class standards;

the advancement of creativity in intellectual

and artistic pursuits; the development of

resilience in our young men; and a refocusing

on our Christian mission of serving others.

The first key strategy for achieving this

vision is now well advanced. In collaboration

with academic staff, specifically those in

the Preparatory School, the School has

commenced the Consideration Stage

of the Primary Years Program of the

International Baccalaureate (PYP-IB).

The PYP-IB is an internationally recognised

and rigorous curriculum framework

for students in the primary years. Its

central focus is the development of the

whole child as an inquirer, both in the

classroom and in the world beyond.

The PYP-IB features six broad themes of

global importance, explored using knowledge

and skills gained from six subject areas:

Language (English and a second language),

Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Arts,

and Physical, Social and Personal Education.

Students pursue their learning in great depth

and are encouraged to think and to inquire as

they advance in their pursuit of knowledge.

This is an exciting development for the

School that will help to prepare our young

men for their role in the global community.

It will ensure our academic aspirations

are globally-minded to compete with the

best in the world. One of the key benefits

of introducing this program is that, due to

the considerable lead and planning time

required, our staff are continually immersed

in conversations about teaching practice and

how to improve student learning. The first

formal units of study in the PYP-IB will be

trialled in the Preparatory School in 2015.

The provision of high quality pastoral care,

and inherent in that the development of

personal resilience, has long been one of

the hallmarks of a Churchie education. For

well over 85 years the School has had a

strong tradition of Houses that has been the

basis of our provision of care. From 2015,

the School is introducing a strengthened

pastoral care structure in which our young

men from Years 8 to 12 will spend increased

time in their Houses, enjoying the strong

relationships that develop among staff

and students in this setting. Students will

benefit from enhanced teacher-student

pastoral relationships providing continuity

and stability throughout their years in

their House. They will also benefit from

opportunities to further build resilience,

leadership and mentoring skills as they

interact with fellow House members, thus

strengthening House identities and providing

an enhanced sense of belongingness.

As always, the School seeks to develop

a strong leadership capacity in students.

Since the School’s establishment, men of

Churchie have contributed exponentially to

the leadership of local, state and national

communities throughout Australia and

beyond. Churchie men have occupied many

of this nation’s highest offices and served

with dedication and distinction. The School

is blessed with many Old Boys who return

on occasions to share with our young men

the leadership experiences that have shaped

their lives. Important leadership experiences

commence while at school and many Old

Boys fondly recall the faith the School placed

in them when invited to fill roles such as

Prefect, House Captain, Sports Captain or

Chapel Sacristan. The School continues

to provide every young man with a broad

range of opportunities to develop leadership

skills and experience. Indeed, this role is

one of our essential responsibilities in the

preparation of young men for the future.

ROYAL VISIT

A School fit for a Prince

The visit marked and celebrated the

significant milestones and diversity of

the program in Australia, focusing in

particular on the commitment to working

with disadvantaged and marginalised

youth across the country and the growth

of these projects in this arena. His Royal

Highness, who is the Chair of the

International Council and Trustee of The

Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award

Foundation, met over 1000 young people

undertaking the award and over 1200

award volunteers and supporters. His

trip included a special visit to Churchie.

Governor of Queensland, and Old Boy,

the Honourable Paul de Jersey also took

part in the celebrations on the day.

His Royal Highness The Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex KG GCVO visited Australia in early November to commemorate over 50 years of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award.

RUGBY UNION BASKETBALL

2014 GPS Premiers

2014 GPS Premiers

This year has been a remarkable year for Churchie Rugby with the First XV becoming undefeated GPS premiers with an average score line of 50–13.

This year has seen Churchie Basketball go from strength to strength. Earlier in the year, Old Boy Cameron Bairstow (2008) was drafted to the National Basketball Association playing for the Chicago Bulls.

This was the first premiership since 2005

and was a fitting way to farewell outgoing

Director of Rugby, Garry Nucifora. The GPS

season was quickly followed by a decisive

win in the All Schools Sevens Tournament.

As a result of many great performances,

several players achieved representative

status in 2014. Three players represented

the Australian Schoolboys team on a tour

of New Zealand in October. Number 8

and dual Bob Templeton Medal winner

(2013 and 2014 Churchie First XV Best

and Fairest) Harley Fox had the honour of

captaining the team with outside centre

Izaia Perese and front rower Richie Asiata

joining him in the national colours.

At the state level, Churchie had a number of

representatives at the National Schoolboys

Championships: Harley Fox and Harry

Nucifora in Queensland 1; Richie Asiata,

Josh Webb, Liam Wright and Angus Scott-

Young (Captain) selected for Queensland

2; and James Gall, Jeremy Gimpel,

Hugo Doessel and Ben Ogilvie for the

Combined States representative team.

Additionally, Jacob Williams, Joel Kuchel,

Harry Hockings, Sam Wallis, Brodie Croft

and Jaydn Su’A gained selection in the

Emerging Reds Under 18 program.

The Churchie First XV team also had four

players gaining honours in rugby league.

Kalyn Ponga followed in the footsteps of

Captain of Rugby Mack Mason in being

selected for the Queensland Schoolboys

team with Brodie Croft and Jaydn Su’A

representing Metropolitan East Under

18 at the State Championships.

Back in Australia, the final round of GPS

Basketball at Gregory Terrace was a historic

day with the Churchie First V securing

another undefeated GPS premiership

and the Churchie Basketball program

winning an amazing 17 from 22 GPS team

premierships. In the most competitive

and highly skilled school basketball

competition in Queensland, for Churchie

to have almost swept the GPS competition

is a truly amazing accomplishment.

To win a GPS Premiership is a great

achievement and only ever comes with a

tremendous amount of commitment from

all involved. The extraordinary athleticism

and exciting style of basketball that the First

V played was some of the greatest seen

in school boys basketball and, with much

of the team to return next year, Churchie

is hoping to win a third consecutive GPS

Premiership. This is now the seventh

straight year that the Churchie First V

has finished in the top three of the GPS

competition and the third time in those

eight years as undefeated GPS premiers.

SAMUEL HAWGOOD

Sam Hawgood appointed Chancellor of the University of California, San Francisco

What would you most like to achieve in your role as Chancellor of UCSF?

UCSF is known as one of the preeminent

universities that is singularly focused

on health in the world. As Chancellor

I would like to maintain that reputation

at a time of tremendous opportunity in

the health sciences and really make sure

that UCSF is a world leader in translating

the unbelievable advances in both

technology and life sciences that can

impact human health around the world.

I think we are positioned to be able to do

that given our depth and our strength.

As somebody who has achieved success internationally, what advice do you have for students who are interested in careers outside of Australia?

I would encourage students to have great

confidence in the education they receive

in Australia at places like Churchie. My

education equipped me well. It made me

feel confident that I had all of the skills I

needed to succeed on an international stage.

There is absolutely no reason for students

in Australia to not think big, dream big and

know that they are equipped to be able to

take a position of international leadership.

Earlier this year, Churchie Old Boy Samuel Hawgood (1969) was appointed the tenth Chancellor of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Eagles’ Wings caught up with Chancellor Hawgood about the new role and his memories of Churchie.

Reflecting on your years at Churchie, what are your fondest memories?

I have very fond memories. I remember the

scholastic excellence that I was exposed to

at Churchie. As a boarder I also remember

it as a fun time. Most of all, I really respect

my parents for giving me the opportunity

to get such a great foundational academic

basis that I could then take to The University

of Queensland and subsequent study.

There is very little question that those

foundational years are critically important.

If they’re not as solid as they were for me

at Churchie, it is very hard to play catch-up.

What part of your Churchie experience do you carry with you today?

There was a high level of expectation of

excellence and a high level of personal

accountability that I may not have

appreciated at the time, but I certainly

appreciate now. They formed foundational

values for me. It was expected that you were

personally accountable for your achievement

and that anything short of excellence was

a bar that you were setting too low.

If you could send a message to your twelve-year-old self on your first day at Churchie, what would you say?

With the knowledge that I have now, I would

probably just say, ‘You’re one lucky kid’.

I consider myself extraordinarily fortunate to

have had the opportunity to go to Churchie

and to get the education that I did.

What is your number one tip for achieving academic success?

Probably the most profound product in

today’s society is knowledge. Academic

success comes from building a solid

foundation upon which you can become a

generator of new knowledge in the future.

Of course you must first master existing

knowledge. Even in those subjects that

may not come naturally, look for aspects

that make sense to you and focus on

getting fulfilment from improving your

performance. This all helps to create great

self-worth and an excellent foundation.

If you had your time again at Churchie, is there anything you would do differently?

I have nothing but fond memories. The

environment allowed me to enjoy myself,

to have fun, but also to succeed.

I could say that I would have liked to

captain the rugby team rather than play

in the Fs, but no, there is nothing I would

have done differently. I had a fantastic

time and would do it again in a heartbeat.

The commemorations of the centenary of Anzac Day will take

place in 2015 on Saturday April 25. With planning well underway

for the annual Churchie Anzac Day Service, it is timely to reflect

on the history and significance of The Old Boys War Memorial.

Churchie’s proud tradition of maintaining the three services in

its cadet corps is rare in Queensland schools. Rarer still is the

importance the School places on the Anzac Day ceremony each

year. It is a magnificent community gathering that provides great

meaning and significance to the day for each new generation.

In 1997 it was proposed by Old Boy Peter Fardoulys (1950)

that a structure was needed to provide recognition and ongoing

visibility of those Old Boys who served and paid the ultimate

sacrifice. Furthermore, there was nowhere to lay a wreath in

honour of the fallen. The Old Boys’ Association and School

Council committed to the construction of a fitting memorial at

the base of the natural amphitheatre overlooking The Flat.

A memorial wall was designed by architect Frank Holmes and

constructed by Fardoulys Constructions. A gift to the School from

the Old Boys’ Association, The Old Boys War Memorial was

dedicated on Anzac Day in 1998.

Permission to feature the badges of the three services was obtained

from the Commonwealth Department of Veterans Affairs. Many

have asked why the badges are not representative of the current

badges for the services. It is worth noting and appreciating that

this not an oversight as the basis of the original proposal was to

erect a memorial to honour Old Boys who had fallen during World

War I, World War II and the Korean War. In accordance with

protocol the badges featured are those under which they fought.

Principles of official commemoration stipulate equality

and uniformity. The memorial’s inscriptions do not discern

between rank, creed, civil or military status. This was

given due consideration and is reflected accordingly.

Old Boys War Memorial

To fund the $40,000 project, Peter Fardoulys sent an appeal

letter to Old Boys and relatives of the fallen. Many letters were

received from Old Boys expressing their appreciation that the

memorial was being constructed. Further testament to the

success of the campaign was the contributions amounting

to more than $30,000 received from Old Boys alone.

The significance of the memorial can never be underestimated.

In 1998, in a letter to the Headmaster Mr David Scott, an Old Boy

wrote of his mother’s immense gratitude to those responsible

for its creation. In the absence of a grave for her brother who

fought in World War II, having joined the RAAF after leaving

Churchie, it serves as a special reminder for their family, and for

him that he would have known no better place to rest in peace.

2014 Ride to Conquer Cancer

Term 3 saw the culmination of a six month fundraising effort

undertaken by seven Year 11 students in aid of the Ride to Conquer

Cancer. After raising a total of $19,500 for the cause and training

hard, the boys took part in the 220 km, two-day event.

The first day saw torrential rain and multiple flat tyres, but spirits

were high, the atmosphere was amazing, and the team arrived at

the Lake Wivenhoe campsite in time for a quick swim before hot

chocolates and warm showers.

After a fairly damp night in the tents, the weather on the last day

was glorious and the team made good time on the return leg to

Brisbane. They were greeted enthusiastically by their parents as

they crossed the finish line.

Thank you to the entire Churchie community for their generous help

and donations throughout the year. This experience, which included

a visit to the Royal Children’s Hospital in the week before the event,

has been life changing for all the boys involved and has certainly

been one they will never forget.

Student Referees

This year has seen a record number of Churchie students take on the

challenging role of referee or assistant referee for our rugby fixtures.

In Term 3 seven boys completed the International Rugby Board Level

1 course and law exam in a joint venture with Brisbane Boys’ College.

Adam Bawi, Scott Murray, Ben Perkins, Aidan Burne-Johnston and

Will Wright have all embarked on their careers as match officials by

taking charge of several games, coached and mentored by senior

Queensland Rugby Referees Association referees and Churchie's

Dr Rachel Horton. Felix Strong-Fick, who only started refereeing in

2013, was appointed to the Brisbane Junior Rugby Union Division

One Under 13 final this year – a fantastic achievement.

There are few other roles that come under as much scrutiny as that

of rugby referee. It takes real courage to step up and put yourself in

that position at any age, and all for the love of the game.

All of the boys involved with refereeing at Churchie are doing a

fantastic job. They have outstanding knowledge of the laws and

tactics and are further developing their understanding of the game in

addition to their leadership, management and communication skills.

Each of them has the opportunity to referee club rugby and to pursue

their careers to the highest level. We may have a future Rugby World

Cup referee in our Churchie community!

Kidsafe National Design Award

Churchie has yet another reason to celebrate our wonderful

Prep Playground. In addition to providing untold joy to hundreds

of Prep students since March 2013, the playground has won the

Education/School category award in the National Kidsafe Playsafe

Design Awards for children’s playgrounds in October this year.

These awards recognise excellence and innovation in the provision

of safe, creative play areas that successfully inspire the imagination

of young people and encourage healthy recreational activities.

The playground’s towering sky bridge and slide, variety of climbing

structures and Viking motifs certainly embody the principles of

healthy and inspirational play.

This was the only award in the 2014 National Kidsafe Award

scheme that went to a Queensland winner. Congratulations to

the designer, Old Boy Jeremy Ferrier (1976), for his creative and

ingenious design and thank you to the Prep Support Group who

originally suggested the playground refurbishment and contributed

almost $100,000 to the project.

Historic Football Achievement

Churchie Football secured its first ever trophy courtesy of a historic

win at the Independent Schools Queensland (Uhlsport) Cup. This

competition involves 32 independent schools across GPS, AIC,

TAS and independent colleges.

Previously, Churchie had never progressed through to the

semi-finals. However, this year the team qualified in first place,

convincingly winning the rounds and quarter-finals to beat Brisbane

Grammar School 2-1 in the semi-finals. The victorious journey

concluded with a 1-0 win over Ipswich Grammar School.

The Churchie Football First XI also enjoyed a successful GPS

season, finishing one point short of winning the GPS Premiership.

The team played some of the highest standard of football ever by

a Churchie team.

Captain James Grogan and vice-Captain Jesse Daley

were recognised for their efforts with selection in the GPS

Representative team. Jesse Daley was selected in the Brisbane

Roar’s National Youth League team.

BOARDING

Churchie welcomes new Director of Boarding

McKenzie Neal (Year 7): 'What will you do to make Churchie Boarding a better place?'Churchie has a wonderful reputation as one of the best boarding schools in Australia. Initially I will

spend a lot of time seeing how the School and boarding houses operate.

In conjunction with Mr Wynne-Markham, Mr Cornish and the student leaders, we will work on how

we can grow the School’s reputation and bring about improvements that benefit all boarders and

their families.

Aiden Hardcastle (Year 10): 'What are you most looking forward to at Churchie?'I grew up in country Queensland and I am looking forward to spending more time in

country areas visiting families. Churchie Boarding has an excellent location within Brisbane;

the environment enables students to achieve their goals both at school and post-school.

As such I am looking forward to living in the centre of the boarding precinct and getting to know the

boys and staff. I am also looking forward to getting involved in Churchie’s co-curricular activities.

Ashley Whitehead (Year 11): 'How will you help the senior boys work towards getting their best OP?'The key to academic success in a boarding school is ensuring the sanctity of prep; making sure

each boarder, especially the seniors, is on task and using his time wisely. Supplementary to this,

the boarders must be well supported by academic tutors who are proactive and have strong links

to the classroom.

I will support Mr Cornish and Mr Wynne-Markham in guaranteeing that each student moving into

Year 12 has a detailed individual learning program assisting them to reach their goals.

Samuel Donaldson (Year 11): 'What is your philosophy of life and how will you creatively apply it to Churchie Boarding?'I believe we should aim to balance the four elements of good health in order to maximise our potential.

I like to stay fit competing in triathlons, distance running and cycling. It is important to participate in regular

physical activity as this helps with concentration in the classroom, promotes good routines and has

a positive effect on mental health. I also maintain a balanced social life and moving to Churchie is a

move closer to family, which my wife and sons are looking forward to. Good sleep is paramount to

good health. I am trialling sleep apps along with products like the Fitbit Flex, as products such as these

give us a greater insight into how boarders are going on a number of fronts. Spiritually, Churchie has

excellent core values and a common set of beliefs is very important in growing outstanding young men.

Lachlan Sheahan (Year 8): 'What will you change in Churchie Boarding?'Initially, given the transition from Mr Reynish to myself will be a smooth one, I don’t envisage any

major changes. Having said that, I would like to see the leave application process streamlined with

an online system.

I would also like to see the boarding houses more closely reflect the School’s pastoral care system,

which includes a transition year for Year 7 students. A similar concept for Year 7 boarders would help

them settle into boarding and into the wider school environment.

Samuel Harwood (Year 9): 'What experience do you bring to Churchie Boarding?'I have spent the past ten years working in schools for boys in Queensland and in Sydney.

During this time I have not only been a Boarding Housemaster but also a Head of Health and

Physical Education (HPE), Director of Athletics and Cross Country, and a Science teacher.

I have found it very interesting to compare how the Sydney GPS schools structure their boarding

programs and their co-curricular activities. My involvement in schools has been driven by an enjoyment

of building young men of substance and good character as well as getting to know their families.

Throughout the history of the School,

there have been extraordinary acts of

philanthropy, generosity and commitment

displayed by many within the Churchie

community. These acts have greatly

contributed to the Churchie we see today

– a world-class school by any measure.

Philanthropy is not a new concept to

Churchie. It has played a crucial role over

the past 103 years. In a physical sense, the

Churchie building landscape is a constant

reminder of the direct outcomes of giving.

Buildings such as Morris Hall, Jensen,

the Sir John Pidgeon Sports Complex,

the Barry McCart Aquatic Centre, the

Graham Fowles Boathouse and the David

Turbayne Tennis Centre are all the result of

people’s belief in providing the very best

opportunities for our boys’ education.

FROM THE CHAIRMAN STUDENT HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTRE

Churchie Foundation

Philanthropy is not a new concept to Churchie. It has played a crucial role over the past 103 years.

In addition to our physical environment,

the philanthropy of many Old Boys has

ensured that a significant number of

students have been able to continue

attending Churchie when family

circumstances would have otherwise

forced them to leave our great school. We

are indebted to this ongoing support that

often occurs quietly behind the scenes.

We can all be philanthropists. Chuck

Feeney, the Irish-American businessman,

philanthropist and founder of Atlantic

Philanthropies, states, ‘Use your wealth

to help people, use your wealth to

create institutions to help people.’

Philanthropy is a state of mind. Each

contribution, no matter how large or

small, is sincerely valued by the School.

As the Foundation seeks philanthropic

support, the ongoing friendships and

relationships that develop make the roles

we have within the Foundation office most

rewarding. We must thank everyone we

speak to for their kind encouragement

and words of support. We invest a

great deal of time and energy into the

relationships we build at the events we

host. This year these included the Head

of the River function, Anzac Day, Rugby

home matches, Headmaster luncheons,

the Vintage Vikings lunch, the Churchie

Cricket and Rugby luncheons and the end

of year Foundation thank-you function.

As you will be aware the next major

building project for the School is the

Roberts Centre for Learning and Innovation.

In 2015 we will be reaching out to the

Churchie community for your support.

There will be the public launch of the

Roberts Centre, which will be a historical

event not to be missed. Further to

this, a unique fundraising event is

being planned with further details to

be announced early in the new year.

I wish to thank and acknowledge the

Foundation Board for their efforts and strong

governance. In particular I thank Dr Jane

Wilson who resigns from the Board this

year. I also wish to thank our wonderful

Platinum sponsors, Austral Motors Prestige

and Gabba Sporting Products, for their

support and friendship. Last but not least,

I wish to thank all our supporters who are

making a difference here at Churchie.

On behalf of the Foundation, may you all

have a safe and happy Christmas with your

families and friends, and we wish you a

very happy, healthy and prosperous 2015.

Mr Bill Chatterton Chairman, Churchie Foundation

Supporting students’ health and well-being

In 2015 Churchie will open the doors to

a new facility at 14–18 Oaklands Parade.

Currently under construction, the new

building will be home to Churchie’s

Student Health and Wellness Centre,

the Churchie Shop and the School’s

CHURCHIE ART

CART – Churchie ArtThe phrase ‘anxious object’ was first used

by the critic Harold Rosenberg to describe

the kind of modern art that often makes

the audience uneasy and unsure if they

are in the presence of a genuine work of

art, or not. Faced with the unfamiliar many

of us can admit that modern art provokes

a similar response in us. After all, what is

art and what is it for? The excellent work

on display at CART 2014 provided us with

some answers to these questions.

Churchie artists have given us a privileged

insight into their world. The work on display

was a declaration: young men declaring

to the viewer who they are, what they

are concerned about, what gives them

joy and what makes each of them a

unique individual. The works spoke to us

about each boy’s history and paid tribute

to their families, friends, teachers and

mentors, who have all helped to mould

different aspects of their identity.

Year 12 students James Martoo and

Jack Brodie deserve a special mention,

having been chosen as Excellence Award

recipients for the 2014 Creative Generation

Excellence Awards and will exhibit at GOMA

next year. An outstanding achievement. Sam Nicholls (Year 12) I know that, 2014

OBA PRESIDENT

From the President of the Old Boys’ Association

With a new Headmaster comes a new era. Every headmaster leaves a legacy, with Old Boys often referring to the head of the school when describing their time as if to identify the period, such as the Roberts era.

of California, San Francisco. Furthermore, it

comes as no surprise that Old Boys appear

in numbers on the national honours lists.

Congratulations to the following recipients

who were acknowledged in the Queen’s

Birthday Honours list: Andrew Charters

AM (1974), Graham Jones AM (1955),

Michael Klug AM (1965), Cliff Armitage

OAM (1974), Ronald Piper OAM (1952)

and Scott Bjerregaard PSM (1990).

We were extremely saddened to learn of

the passing of two young Old Boys, Edward

Holcombe (2013) and Jack Cranstoun

(2005). They were Old Boys taken too

soon and in tragic circumstances.

The annual Old Boys BBQ was held on

the afternoon of the last rugby home

game. This was again a very successful

occasion with a strong turnout. All enjoyed

a powerful display of rugby by the First

XV against Brisbane Grammar School.

A week later on Friday 19 September we

had the privilege of enjoying the company

of Old Boy David Crombie (1961) at the

OBA Annual Dinner. As our guest speaker,

David spoke of his passion for agriculture

and rugby combined with his notable

successes and achievements in both.

He is currently a Director of AACo and

President of Australian Rugby Union.

There can be no understating the influence

of a headmaster over his students. His

views and beliefs permeate the year groups,

often striking a chord at the most critical

time of a student’s development. Churchie

has had a stellar year on the sporting

front, winning the swimming, rugby and

basketball, and performing competitively in

all other disciplines. This is testimony to the

committed work leading up to this year and

the exceptional leadership of Dr Campbell.

Ingrained in every Churchie boy is a sense

of community and a spirit of giving. It is one

of the four tenets that are the foundation

stones of the School, as decreed by founder

Canon Morris. A hearty congratulations is

extended to Dr Sam Hawgood (1969) on his

appointment as Chancellor of the University

In addition to the always popular year

group reunions, an August reunion in

Skin Cancer Treatment Goes Global

Old Boy Mileham Hayes (1958) is a skin

cancer physician whose experience extends

internationally to London and Edinburgh as a

Fellow of both the respective Royal Colleges

of Physicians. Following his presentation at

the World Conference on Skin Cancer and

Melanoma last year, Mileham has had books

published by the world’s two largest medical

publishers. Representing some seven years

of work, the books reflect Mileham’s lifetime

of accumulated observation and help from

colleagues. They document his Queensland

experience and as such can be considered a

coup for Queensland medicine. Queensland

has the best diagnostic and data recording

program in the world for skin cancer and

melanoma, which as Mileham observes, ‘is

as it should be as we have the greatest rates

of skin cancer’. It is Queensland treatment

techniques that have led to the world's best

survival rates. Both books, Skin Cancer,

Melanoma and Mimics and Practical Skin

Cancer Surgery, have been extremely well

received by the medical profession.

Mileham was also well known for his ABC

radio and national television jazz programs.

Old Boy's Life in the Fast Lane

Despite being new to the sport, Old

Boy Ben Foessel (2007) is making his

mark in Australian GT Motor Racing.

After taking up the sport just two

years ago, Ben has achieved back-to-

back season wins in the Australian GT

Championship Challenge Division for 2013

and 2014. Ben attributes his success to

a strategic business approach, taking

inspiration from leaders in the field.

‘I really look up to people like Craig Lowndes

and Scott McLaughlin, who are not only

performing on the track but attracting

consistent interest from sponsors and taking

the time to engage with fans. I have made

a commitment to do the same,’ Ben said.

In addition to a rigorous training

schedule, Ben operates a website and

social media channels, cultivating a

valuable fan base and brand presence

to attract all-important sponsorship.

Ben Foessel (2007)

Nelson Brothers work as a Team

Thanks to Old Boys Scott (1997) and Tim

(2002) Nelson, Queensland has become

a leader in marine licensing. Along with

business partner Simon Knight, the brothers

developed online training for boat and jet

ski licenses after identifying inefficiencies

in the processes six years ago. The project

was launched this year and its success is

one of many for the three IT entrepreneurs’

who established TPR Media, a marketing

and digital agency.

‘It’s ironic that we’ve ventured into the marine

sector because one of our primary drivers for

starting our own business was to own jet skis

and ride them whenever we fancied. Now

we’re not too far off,’ Scott said. TPR Media

has also seen success in the motorsport

industry. This has led to working with Old Boy

Ben Foessel to build his profile. Scott and

Tim credit the Old Boy network as a valuable

source of advice and referrals that has

helped them grow their business. ‘Working

with Old Boys has been fundamental to

our business from the beginning. There

is an instant connection that gives the

relationship a level of trust and familiarity

that comes from our shared backgrounds

and experience at Churchie,’ Tim said.

INTERVIEW WITH MICHAEL DUNN

A vision for the Prep School

Head of Preparatory School Michael Dunn took up his position at Churchie at the beginning of 2013 following sixteen years as Head of Junior School at Cranbrook School in Sydney. Eagles’ Wings took the opportunity to meet with him.

First of all, what attracted you to Churchie?

To be honest, I was quite fussy about

which school I wanted to work in following

my previous appointment. Churchie has

an enviable reputation as a school that

educates the whole boy, seeks to have its

students achieve high academic standards,

is educationally progressive and lives its

Christian values honestly and well – and

that’s the kind of school in which I want to

work. Churchie’s values reflect my own.

What is your vision for Churchie Prep?

I want see to see the Prep School achieve its

full potential in accord with the aims of the

School and become one of the best schools

for boys in the world. We have excellent

staff, great facilities, wonderful boys and

tremendous family support at Churchie,

providing an excellent foundation upon

which to build. It’s now a matter of working

collaboratively to establish and enhance a

cogent, common approach to teaching and

learning across the whole of the Prep School

and across the whole curriculum – one that

is research-based and representative of

world’s best practice. We need a common

language of learning for all. We also need to

sharpen our ability as teachers to personalise

the learning of each boy so that he makes

the most of his learning time at school in a

way that is relevant, meaningful, challenging

and engaging. Boys respond superbly to

that kind of education. School shouldn’t be

something that ‘happens to’ boys. To be

effective, it must be something each boy

is purposefully committed to because he

sees the point of it, and regularly feels

the fulfilment and thrill of learning and of

stretching his capabilities. I want all boys in

the Prep School to feel that way every day.

What is the Prep School currently doing to make this vision a reality?

We’re doing quite a lot. Throughout this

year, we have been deeply investigating and

considering the suitability of the International

Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme

(the PYP) as a curriculum and teaching and

learning framework for the Prep School. The

PYP is a rigorous, research-based framework

that provides a common language and

approach for teaching and learning across

the school. It is essentially an integrated,

inquiry-based, concept-driven framework

that promotes deep and lifelong learning

and draws heavily on teacher collaboration.

Prep School staff have engaged in much

professional development about the PYP

this year, including whole staff sessions,

online courses, conferences and visits

around the nation to boys PYP schools of

similar stature and ethos to Churchie.

Are there other initiatives currently underway?

Since last year, we have been working

very hard across the Prep School on the

way we teach the boys to write. Generally,

assessment data nation-wide would

suggest that, compared with girls, boys

are disadvantaged with regard to writing.

However, we see no reason why boys

should not excel in this critical curriculum

area if they are taught well. The Prep School

staff have embarked upon implementing

a common approach to the teaching of

writing that looks at the traits of good

writing. It is known as the 6+1 Writing

Traits approach. The six traits are Word

Choice, Sentence Fluency, Ideas, Voice,

Organisation and Conventions, with the

additional element of Presentation. Teachers

are focusing their instruction on these areas

and this provides a common language

across the classes. Additionally, we have

been implementing objective assessment

in writing, using an external assessment

provider, for each boy from Year 1 to Year

6, once each term. Teachers use this timely

data to track each boy’s progress and to

highlight areas of need for instruction,

support and extension at various levels:

whole school, cohort, class, group and

individually. This is part of our personalisation

of learning for boys at Churchie.

You’ve mentioned personalised learning, which is part of Churchie’s strategic intent across the whole School. How else are you fulfilling this intent in the Prep School?

In Term 2, the School appointed Mrs Elaine

Geraghty to the new senior position of

Personalised Learning Team Leader. Mrs

Geraghty came to Churchie with a great deal

of experience and training in gifted education

and learning support. The Personalised

Learning Team consists of a number of

teachers and teacher assistants who help

to personalise the learning for boys who

learn differently or at a different rate. They

work in consultancy with teachers and

students in the classroom or in withdrawal

settings depending on individual needs.

Elaine has provided a great boost to our

ability to personalise learning for boys.

Our growing one-to-one technology program

is another personalised learning initiative.

This year saw the program rolled out to

all Year 4 boys and it will serve Years 4

and 5 in 2015 and Years 4 to 6 from 2016.

Linked with this, and based upon research

in New Generation Learning Spaces

Churchie completed in collaboration with

the University of Melbourne last year, we

are revolutionising classroom spaces in

order to maximise student learning. The

Year 4 rooms were modified this year and

the Year 5 and 6 rooms are to follow.

We have also embarked on a masterplan

aimed at making the most of our current

facilities and enhancing these with

quality learning in mind; and our work in

the area of emotional intelligence with

Swinburne University continues, with

a view to enhancing the achievement

and indeed the lives of our Prep

School boys. It’s an exciting time!

2014 Sony Camp

Moreton Island Camp

USA Space Camp

Emu Gully Camp

CAMPS

Students from Churchie and St Margaret’s Anglican Girls’

School hosted 36 guests at the twelfth annual Sony

Camp held at Churchie in the September holidays. For

the 142 carers and support staff, the three days and two

nights provided many memorable experiences. For the

guests, it was an adventure filled with wonder and joy.

In November, Churchie’s Year 6 students enjoyed three

adventure-filled nights and days on Moreton Island.

With plenty of insect repellent, water and sunscreen on

hand, the boys spent the days exploring the island, sliding

down the sand dunes and swimming in the ocean.

This year 36 Churchie students attended the Space and

Aeronautical Tour USA. At the camp, James Schofield

and Oliver Crofts were awarded the highest accolade,

the Top Gun Award. Jesse Leotta was awarded The Right

Stuff Award for leadership and perseverance. According

to all reports, the camp was out of this world.

In late October, Churchie’s Year 4 students visited the Emu

Gully Adventure Education Centre at Helidon. During the two

night camp, the boys experienced an action-packed program

with one of the highlights being the mud sludge challenge.

Instructional Rounds

We have all seen TV shows like House where young doctors are

assisted with their understanding of complex medical cases by

doing rounds of wards with more experienced doctors, together

examining patients and their symptoms in order to diagnose disease

and other medical conditions.

Churchie’s ’instructional rounds’ for teachers involves a similar

process. A small group of staff visit classrooms for 10 to 15

minutes, observing the different elements of teaching and learning

that is occurring in the room. Sometimes the focus is the teacher,

sometimes the students. It is up to the facilitating teacher leading

the rounds to direct this. After the visit, different perspectives on the

chosen focus are shared and discussed amongst the group.

The professional development value of the instructional round lies in

the exposure of teachers to different teaching styles and the different

ways students respond to staff and their methods.

In a recent meeting with Independent Schools Queensland,

Churchie’s staff development initiatives, such as instructional rounds,

were recognised as industry-leading initiatives by independent

schools across the state. This is a credit to the pervasive culture of

openness at Churchie where staff welcome visits and feedback.

Making History

Churchie students claimed an unprecedented six prizes in this year’s

Queensland History Teachers Association Writing Competition.

The annual competition celebrates the best historical writing

produced by Queensland high school students and is hotly contested

with entrants from all over the state submitting their best work.

This year proved to be the best year ever for our senior historians and

certainly no other school had so many place winners as a group.

The Ancient Historians, Alex Harris, Max Eagles and Alex Paterson,

chose topics ranging from the reasons for the fall of the Roman

Empire to the value of Thucydides as a historian.

The Modern Historians, Nicholas Scott, Adam Sas and Cameron

Holscher, focused on exploring how modern nation states came into

existence and the role of leaders like President Sukarno and General

Tito in the process. Each student produced a fully referenced long-

form essay based on their own research.

Horror on Stage

The horror and tragedy of gothic theatre was on display at Playfest,

an innovative drama concept introduced at Churchie this year. Four

ensembles of students brought famous characters of historic texts to

life, performing their own versions of Frankenstein, Legend of Sleepy

Hollow, Dracula and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

Four teams worked on their production over six weeks, culminating

in a 90-minute performance in Morris Hall. The performers made

effective use of the sound, lighting and multimedia available in the

hall to create a suspenseful and evocative gothic theatre atmosphere.

Playfest as a concept aims to bridge the gap between the Prep Play

and the Senior Production, providing an opportunity for performing

arts students in the middle years. Churchie welcomed back Old

Boys Marshall Stay (2013) and Georg Goldfeder (2011) as ensemble

directors along with industry guests Madeleine Lewis and Ashleigh

Dorman to lead the ensembles.

Not only did the ensembles create an entertaining rendition of

these historic texts, they demonstrated a clear enthusiasm and

commitment to the performing arts. Stay tuned for Playfest 2015.

All Things Literary

A colourful Book Week parade featuring our youngest students

dressed as their favourite book characters marked the beginning

of another successful Book Week at Churchie. Throughout the

week, students took part in workshops, book readings,

performances and craft activities.

In the Prep School, each year level enjoyed literature workshops

where visiting authors Peter Carnavas, Dave Lowe, Pat Flynn and

Oliver Phommavanh spent time with students reading books,

discussing themes and characters, and working on writing techniques

and ideas. Reception, Year 1 and visiting St Margaret’s Anglican Girls’

School students were treated to a puppet show performance.

Churchie student Ben Chong (Year 10), children’s book illustrator of the

locally written text Snail Mail, worked with students to share insights

from his creative process. At the Middle School Literacy Evening,

Ben presented an analysis of the creative problem solving process

he employed while creating his book, explaining and showing the

audience how he used ‘setting’ as an active participant to connect

young readers to the central character’s change in emotions.

The evening was also an opportunity for Ben as an author to

connect with his audience as he sat in the Prep Library’s red story

teller’s chair reading to students.

IN MEMORIAM

Watson Radcliffe (1938)

Bill Logue

Greg Sellars (1966)Old Boy and former staff member Charles

Watson David Radcliffe passed away on

Wednesday 23 July 2014, aged 92.

Mr Radcliffe was Dux of the School in

1938 and taught at Churchie from 1939

to 1983. He is the second-longest serving

member of staff with 45 years of service,

which included teaching his son, David

Radcliffe (1968). 'Boney', ‘Rad’ or ‘Watson’,

as he was affectionately known, was the

author of many mathematics text books.

His other notable achievements include

Form V Special Merit Prize 1935, Prefect

1938, University Scholarship, Track and

Field 1935–36 and 2nd AIF 1941–45.

We fondly remember past teacher Mr Bill

Logue who passed away on Saturday

25 October 2014, aged 92. On staff from

1948 to 1987, Bill remains one of the

School's longest serving staff members

with 40 years of service, which included

teaching his son, Robert Logue (1973).

Generations of Churchie Old Boys

were taught History, Social Science and

Economics by Mr Logue. He was the

author of numerous history text books.

He also coached many boys in rugby and

cricket. Mr Logue is survived by his son

Robert and his wife of nearly 65 years,

Monica, who was a nurse at the School.

After a long period of illness, Old Boy Greg Sellars (1966)

passed away on 5 September 2014. As one of the many law

students who Greg mentored over his distinguished legal career,

I am grateful for the handful of years in which I knew him.

Long after the legal technicalities Greg imparted to me have been amended

or overruled, I will remember his generous and unassuming nature. During

Greg’s illness, many of his clients would phone to talk about their legal

matters. Inevitably they would end up fondly recounting how Greg had

helped them over the decades, sometimes forgetting why they had phoned

in the first place. They remembered his work ethic, integrity and kindness.

We should thank men like Greg for the good reputation of Churchie

Old Boys, and we should do our best to follow their example.
