2010 has been a busy year for the 

Council. It saw the arrival of Stuart 

Davis as the College’s new Principal. 

He comes at a time of considerable 

change. In my view, he has made an 

excellent start and his leadership 

will be paramount in steering the 

College through the challenges 

which lie ahead. The Council also 

welcomed the appointment of Andy 

Müller as Deputy Principal. 

The major building project during 

the year was the new year 5/6 

building. The timing of this 

project was largely driven by the 

availability of a grant of $3 million 

under the Federal Government’s 

BER scheme. The total cost of 

the project will be $6.8 million, 

the remaining $3.8 million being 

financed by borrowings. Despite the 

many reports of difficulties being 

experienced by other schools in 

managing BER projects, we have 

been most fortunate to have our 

project managed by the College 

CFO – Andrew Simpson. The grant 

conditions imposed many pressures 

and timelines on the College and 

Andrew has excelled in dealing with 

them. With the building about to 

be handed over to the College, I am 

delighted to report that the project 

has been completed within budget 

and only slightly over time, due solely 

to the weather. Also completed 

during the year were much needed 

improvements to Camp Ibis. 

Much effort has also been 

devoted to the development of 

a comprehensive new strategic 

plan for the College to guide the 

educational and cocurricular 

offerings of the College for the 

next five years. This plan has been 

initiated by the management team of 

the College and presented to Council 

for comment and input at several 

stages. The plan is expected to be 

finalised shortly. 

The Council approved several new 

Policies covering Whistleblowers 

and Grievances during the year. 

These Policies are the foundations 

for specific practices, procedures 

and methods of operation within the 

school community. 

The Council farewelled a long 

standing member of Council at the 

end of 2010. Jan Frazer has been 

a member of Council since August 

1995 and has made many valuable 

contributions to the business of 

Council. She is a past parent and 

current grandparent of students of 

The Chair of Council, Mr Bruce Humphries. 

the College. Her involvement with 

the College also included a stint 

as President of the then Mothers’ 

Association, the forerunner of 

the Parents’ Association. Jan’s 

commonsense and commitment to 

the College will be sorely missed. 

During the year, the Council 

welcomed two new members to 

its ranks – Penny Burns and Phil 

Galloway. Both are parents of 

current students and their varied 

backgrounds and areas of expertise 

will be most useful to the Council. 

The Council members would like to 

express their thanks to the Principal 

and his management team for 

the excellent job they have done 

during 2010.

2010 VCE and IB results 

St Leonard’s College prides itself 

on being an open entry school that 

meets its responsibility to provide a 

challenging educational experience 

for each of its students. Its courses 

offer both breadth and diversity. 

The International Baccalaureate 

(IB) Diploma in conjunction with the 

Victorian Certificate of Education 

(VCE) and the opportunities for 

students to undertake Vocational 

Education and Training (VET) courses 

ensures that students have the 

broadest of choices through which 

they can access the qualifications 

required to enter university, TAFE or 

employment. 

In 2010, 171 students studied the VCE 

and 31 undertook the IB Diploma. 

Looking at each of the two programs 

in turn, we find that the median VCE 

ATAR was 83.90 and the median IB 

ATAR was 93.90. This equates to 

a combined median ATAR of 85.10 

meaning that 50% of St Leonard’s 

College year 12 students achieved an 

ATAR that placed them in the top 15% 

of the state. 

Manon Audige was IB Dux of 

the College attaining an ATAR of 

99.65. Along with Manon the top 

five performing IB students were 

Nastassia Shulman (99.35), Margeaux 

Monnier-Penny (98.80), Henan Chen 

(98.80) and Brenda Taing (98.40). Each 

of these students also earned the 

right to be presented at the Victorian 

IB awards ceremony early in 2011. 

Annabel Healey was the VCE Dux of 

the College gaining an ATAR of 99.55. 

Along with Annabel the top five 

performing VCE students were 

Emily Scott (99.45), Will MacDonald 

(99.4), Shreya Rana (99.25) and 

Matthew Roberts (98.9) 

Approximately 30% of students 

gained an ATAR above 90 placing 

them in the top 10%.

There were 202 students in year 12 in 

2010. (There were a total of 81.6% of 

local students who received an offer 

from an Australian university). Of the 

local students, 81.6% received an 

offer from an Australian University. 

Seven international students, which 

equates to 3.5% of the cohort, 

returned overseas to study at 

various universities. TAFE offers 

were made to 11.9% of the cohort 

and, of the remaining students, 

four opted not to apply for tertiary 

studies and two chose to take a GAP 

year. The trend to defer offers for 

GAP programs overseas, or options 

to work for a year before tertiary 

study is still strong in our College.

The Victorian Tertiary Admissions 

Centre states that the equivalent 

national tertiary entrance rank, 

ATAR, is the dominant selection 

criterion for year 12 applicants in 

the Victorian selection system. It 

is an effective measure of overall 

VCE performance and it enables 

universities to rank and select large 

numbers of applicants fairly and 

objectively within the truncated 

time available between release of 

VCE results in December and the 

commencement of the academic 

year in March. It is also the best 

available predictor of future 

tertiary performance. 

The ATAR is not the sole selection 

criterion. A number of courses 

use a range of criteria including 

interviews, assessment of folios 

and additional tests. In a typical 

year around 85% of university 

courses would use ATAR as the 

main criterion and 15% a range of 

criteria. Translating this to offers 

means that around 75% of offers 

would be made on ATAR alone 

and 25% using a range of other 

criteria. However, the ATAR is not a 

community educational benchmark 

and has no status outside the 

mechanics of selection.

were filled from our bank of 

qualified relieving staff. 

Staff Retention 

Our teaching staff retention rate

Professional Learning 

The College fosters high teaching 

standards and encourages learning 

for life, with many staff pursuing 

further studies. All the College’s 

teaching staff are appropriately 

qualified, and they were given 

many opportunities to enhance 

their professional learning 

during the year. All teaching staff 

attended two in-house staff 

conferences during the year. During 

the conferences they attended 

professional learning workshops 

and sessions presented by 

colleagues and external presenters. 

Throughout 2010 both teaching and 

corporate staff participated in a 

range of professional development 

activities, from external workshops 

and network meetings to Collegebased 

activities. College staff also 

presented at external conferences, 

some at a national or international 

level, and hosted visiting study 

groups and student teachers.

Corporate Services 

Corporate Services staff operate 

within the context of the College’s 

Vision, Mission and Values in 

providing support services to our 

students, staff, parents and the 

general College community. 

Finance 

The operations of St Leonard’s 

College would be classified as 

a medium sized business with 

turnover in 2010 exceeding $37m and 

permanent staff in excess of 300. 

The College is heavily reliant on 

tuition fees for the bulk of its income 

(77%) with recurrent operating grants 

from both State and Federal sources 

accounting for about 14% of revenue. 

School fees are set at a level 

sufficient to meet the cost of 

providing schooling for that year 

as well as ensuring the longterm 

viability of the College is 

underpinned by sound financial 

practices and management. Fees 

are also benchmarked to those of 

comparable schools to ensure we 

remain competitive. 

Operating costs 

Total expenditure on recurrent 

operating costs amounts to just over 

$36m with salaries, maintenance 

and educational expenses amounting 

to a little over $30m (82%) while 

the largest single cost is teachers’ 

salaries. 

Capital costs 

Each year the College undertakes 

important capital works to ensure 

that the investment in teaching is 

supported by first class facilities 

across all three campuses. Key 

areas of investment include 

buildings, Information Technology 

infrastructure, furniture and 

fittings and other key educational 

requirements. 

Capital Expenditure is funded 

from three main sources being any 

surplus from operating expenses, 

government funding and donations 

and bequests to the College. 

In 2010 we have been fortunate to 

receive funding from the Federal 

Government’s Building Education 

Revolution which has facilitated 

the construction of the year 5/6 

Centre in Brighton. Funding from 

the Digital Education Revolution has 

improved IT infrastructure across 

the College. Parental donations and 

College funding has allowed the 

initial stages of the Cornish Campus 

Outdoor Learning Centre 

to commence. 

The College is fortunate to have 

high calibre members in the College 

Council and its Finance & Audit 

Committee who provide advice and 

direction in both policy setting and 

operating practice. 

Facilities and 

Maintenance 

The Facilities team has had a 

challenging year ensuring the 

maintenance of our grounds 

and buildings across the three 

campuses along with coordinating 

the construction of the Year 5/6 

Centre. During the year a range of 

refurbishments, improvements and 

preventative works were undertaken 

across all three campuses. Works 

undertaken in 2010 at Brighton 

include a significant upgrade to the 

science laboratories, relocation 

of the caretaker and upgrade of 

the caretaker’s cottage to house 

music staff and facilities. Harefield 

has received some much needed 

maintenance while the Kevin 

Wood Centre has had evaporative 

cooling fitted to ensure optimum 

conditions for exams and College 

performances. 

At our Cornish Campus painting and 

timber rectification of the buildings 

has been completed as scheduled 

while new garden beds have been 

established at the front of the 

Administration Building as well as 

in the farmland. These garden beds 

play a major role in teaching the 

students about sustainable farming 

methods. The farm has also seen the 

construction of new shelters for the 

cattle and a new enclosure to house 

the feed.

At Camp Ibis the finishing touches to 

the new facility have been completed 

including a new shed to house 

equipment while connection of all 

buildings to the new sewer line has 

been undertaken. 

Food Services 

Throughout the year the College 

has held many functions for staff, 

students, parents, local and 

overseas visitors and a myriad of 

other groups. These have all been 

catered by our own Food Services 

team. This team also provides 

healthy choices for our students 

through snacks and meals every day 

of the term. The quality of the food 

and the service provided is the envy 

of many of our peers. 

Information Services 

The Information Services team, 

responsible for maintaining 

the College’s information, 

communications and technology 

infrastructure, has continued to 

provide a stable and responsive 

ICT platform for the St Leonard’s 

community. As technologies 

converge, the challenge is to ensure 

the integration of technologies to 

support the teaching platforms. 

The ICT team works closely with 

other corporate and teaching 

staff to achieve this high level of 

service. During 2010 the College 

received Federal funding under the 

Digital Education Revolution for IT 

infrastructure which facilitated the 

purchase of a new server, a new 

Digital Video Distribution System, 

switching upgrades and upgrades 

to our storage and backup systems 

to cater for the increasing data 

demands of the curriculum and 

corporate sectors. With this in mind, 

in late 2010 a review of our IT was 

undertaken with the aim of continual 

improvement and development of 

the latest thinking in Information 

Technology within a school 

environment. 

In 2011 with stage 2 of funding 

becoming available to the College 

391 extra computer devices will 

be purchased for years 9 to 12, an 

upgrade to our email system will be 

undertaken and for the first time 

Macintosh hardware and software 

will be available in key learning areas. 

Administrative and 

Technical Services 

The smooth operation of many of our 

specialist areas of teaching is reliant 

on the high quality support given by the 

many assistant and technical teams. 

These include laboratory, audio visual, 

careers, library, home economics and 

art technicians. The Technical Services 

team continues to develop and support 

learning outcomes in the various 

specialist areas. 

Students and teachers are 

supported by our teams of coeducators 

and integration aides. 

Our Administrative Services team 

is one of the more visible groups 

to our parents and students as 

the first points of contact with 

McMillan House, Cornish Campus, 

Music, Sport, Middle and Upper 

schools, Curriculum, VCE and 

IB. In all areas of support the 

dedicated Administration staff 

members endeavour to improve the 

communication channels between 

parents and staff, ensure the 

welfare of students and provide a 

welcoming and friendly environment 

in all dealings with the College. 

Staffing 

The contribution of St Leonard’s 

College staff, teaching and nonteaching 

is fundamental to the 

College’s success and its reputation 

in the wider community. In 2010 

we were fortunate to be served by 

dedicated staff members in the 

non-teaching areas and I would like 

to acknowledge the efforts of the 

following: Mr Wayne Foenander - 

Facilities Manager, Financial 

Controller - Mrs Samantha Corrigan, 

Catering Manager - Mrs Jenny McGrath, 

Administrative Services Manager - 

Mrs Michelle Smith. The hard work 

undertaken and leadership of the 

dedicated staff under their control 

has contributed to the support of 

academic staff, high quality services 

and providing an environment where 

learning can thrive. 

I would also like to thank Mr Mark 

Blake who resigned during the course 

of 2010 for his work as IT Manager at 

the College for over ten years. 

Sustainable facilities 

College facilities are managed with 

sustainability in mind. This emphasis 

built on sustainability is particularly 

expressed through the framework of 

the College’s Master plan. 

Steps taken so far at Brighton 

Campus: 

 

replacing paper-based systems 

with electronic. 

 

undertaken across both campuses 

with the aim of reducing the number 

of printing devices, reduced toner and 

consumables usage, a lower level of 

energy consumption and a reduction 

in our paper consumption. 

 

being adapted to better use cross 

ventilation and shade, with 

reflective film to maintain 

reasonable temperatures. 

Water conservation measures include: 

 

drought tolerant planting. 

 

installed at the western end of the 

Brighton Campus during the year. The 

College also installed an additional 

nine water tanks, following a 

water grant and assistance from 

the St Leonard’s Old Collegians’ 

Association. Campus watering is 

done with rainwater supplied from 

and distributed by a mobile tanker.

Enrolments 

Our total enrolment on census day 

(the day when we make our annual 

return to the government) was 1725, 

with 1421 students at Brighton 

Campus and 304 at Cornish Campus. 

The breakdown for each campus 

should be read in terms of the 

enrolment profile. The Cornish 

Campus has an early learning 

centre, with one group each of 

three and four year olds, one class 

at each level in the primary years 

and two at each level in secondary. 

The Brighton Campus has an early 

learning centre with two groups 

at each of three and four year 

olds, two classes from prep to 

year 4, three classes at each of 

years 5 and 6, then increasing to 

six or seven classes from year 7 to 

year 9. In Upper School, multiple 

classes are held to accommodate 

varying numbers according to 

subject choices. The students from 

Cornish Campus join the Brighton 

students to undertake the Victorian 

Certificate of Education (VCE) or 

the International Baccalaureate (IB) 

Diploma for years 11 and 12. 

The gender balance across the 

College is 48% girls and 52% boys, 

maintaining our practice of being a 

fully coeducational school. 

The College offers a broad and 

balanced education for all ages. 

The child centred early learning 

centres follow the Reggio Emilia 

approach. Both campuses are 

accredited to teach the International 

Baccalaureate Primary Years 

Programme. Academically, our 

results are outstanding, something 

about which the College, with its 

open entry policy, is extremely 

proud. Our students are consistent 

high achievers in the VCE and IB 

Diploma, in statewide standardised 

testing, and in a number of national 

and international competitions. 

Our cocurricular program is rich and 

diverse, encouraging students to 

develop interests and skills across a 

range of activities.

Principal’s Report 

the development of a broad array of 

skills and talents that complement 

and enhance the academic 

development of students. 

I stated in my first few months that 

one of the great pleasures in my 

short time as Principal had been 

in observing and talking to our 

young people and being touched by 

their thoughtfulness, sensitivity, 

compassion and their impressive 

range of achievements. Whether 

in the classroom, the theatre, the 

science laboratories, the art studios, 

the many and varied sporting 

arenas, the music school and 

performance spaces or just out in 

the grounds. I shared my delight at 

the obvious common appreciation 

that our young people display in 

recognising that they are fortunate 

to attend a school in which they feel 

loved and about which they care 

passionately. A further nine months 

has passed since this early claim 

and in this time my conviction has 

only strengthened; as has my sense 

of privilege at being the Principal of 

St Leonard’s College. 

There is recognition that education 

has a moral purpose as well as a 

utilitarian purpose. Our parents 

recognise and are appreciative that 

character and moral development 

are valued equally. The warning by 

Khalid Baig that education has 

become an extension of the capital 

world, one in which society has lost 

sight of its common goals, beliefs, 

values and outlooks on life, is a 

criticism that we work hard to dispel.

sculpture walk at the Campus, pictured here 

is artwork by Jodie Rowlands. 

Cornish students participated in this year’s 

Winter Sleepout, to raise funds to assist 

Melbourne’s homeless. 

In all directions in which I have 

looked I have found there to be 

strong evidence of the development 

of critical thinking skills that are 

underpinned by strong moral 

principles. The benefits of this 

approach are reflected in the 

outstanding achievements of 

our students. 

Leadership at all levels is important 

in a community such as ours and 

I have enjoyed the leadership 

qualities demonstrated by our 

student body at Brighton and 

at Cornish. There is an acute 

understanding that leadership 

is about influence and that the 

extent and quality of our influence 

as leaders is dependent upon the 

quality of our relationships. There is 

a genuine appreciation that the best 

way to influence others is to develop 

mutually respectful, supportive 

and rewarding relationships. This 

approach to leadership within the 

student community has served us 

extremely well in 2010 and nowhere 

was it more evident than in the 

House Music competition held at 

The Plenary in front of an audience 

of nearly 3,000 people. 

The cocurricular program is a critical 

dimension of any school that seeks 

to draw out the latent talents and 

potential of its students. Exposure to 

the broad offerings has clearly aided 

In visiting the various sporting 

venues I have been delighted 

at the sense of pride, courage, 

spirit and teamwork that has 

been demonstrated by all of our 

teams. Our Music department has 

also provided clear evidence of 

its commitment to encouraging 

our young people to realise 

their outstanding potential. The 

Performing Arts program has 

continued to demonstrate why it 

is seen as one of the key strengths 

of the College. The opportunities 

to engage in drama performance 

has entertained, enthralled and 

expanded the minds of actors 

and audiences from ELC to year 12 

across both campuses. 

The Duke of Edinburgh Scheme 

has provided experiences for our 

young people to work together to 

explore and develop a breadth of 

requirements each providing them 

with a greater understanding of 

themselves and their capacity to 

make a difference. In 2010 five of 

our students: Stephanie Warner, 

Luke Walker, Milly Cain, Jonathan 

Egan and Logan Krantz received the 

prestigious Gold Award from the 

Governor of Victoria. 

At a time when traditional structures 

of family and community are said 

to be breaking down, one gains a 

sense that society is becoming 

increasingly more reliant upon 

school communities to provide more 

than academic experiences enriched 

by moral and social perspective. 

It is evident that governments and 

community agencies are increasingly

page 17 

looking to transfer much of the 

responsibility of building community 

and a plethora of social skills and 

responsibilities to schools. We are 

fortunate to have the wonderful 

support of our Parents’ Association 

to help build the all important social 

connections and constructs that 

will support all members of our 

community. The key events of New 

Parents’ Dinner, Community Day 

Fair, Cornish Big Night Out and the 

Brighton Gala Ball were supported 

by numerous gatherings at year 

and school level in addition to other 

groups such as the International 

Parents Group. I would like to 

acknowledge the broad involvement 

of our parents and in particular our 

outgoing President at Brighton, 

Eveline Jona for her outstanding 

commitment and passion in forming 

strong and healthy relationships 

in our community. I would also 

like to acknowledge the strength 

of support and passion that our 

Cornish president, Fiona Spazziani, 

has brought to the role in her first 

year in office. 

We are also well served by our 

network of support through our 

alumni (SLOCA). The enthusiastic 

and loyal support of Old Collegians 

is a key determinant in the provision 

of an exceptional educational 

experience and reflects their 

passion and support for the school. 

Their commitment has been 

instrumental in building the 

physical environment as well as 

the all important human community 

at St Leonard’s College, for which we 

are all appreciative. 

One of the great joys for me this year 

has been in observing the quality of 

the relationships between teacher 

and taught. The McKinsey Report 

states that no school can rise 

above the level of the quality of its 

teachers. It has been a privilege to 

lead such a powerful and dynamic 

team of people who are committed 

to the welfare and development 

of each of our young people. One 

measure of a school’s success is 

its retention rate of teachers and 

we continue to enjoy great stability 

with only a handful of our vast 

teaching team moving to pastures 

new. It is evident that St Leonard’s 

College is an employer of choice, as 

demonstrated in the strong retention 

rate of staff. 

Despite this evident strength, in 

2010 we said farewell to three 

senior members of staff, each 

of whom has made outstanding 

contributions to the College, which 

has been recognised through their 

induction into the Harefield Club. 

Sue Walpole our VCE Coordinator 

and Deputy Head of Upper School 

completed 23 years; her passion for 

each and every student in her care 

will be missed. After 32 years of 

outstanding service, most especially 

as Head of Middle School, Michael 

Barr determined it was time to 

pursue opportunities outside of 

the classroom. Michael will be 

remembered by all who were under 

his care for his determination to 

inject a sense of fun and creativity 

into school life. After ten years of 

outstanding service as the College 

Registrar and more recently as the 

Director of Community Relations, 

Beryl McMillan left the College 

this year. Beryl forged strong 

relationships with all members 

of our community and has been 

central in helping to develop the 

connectedness of our broader 

community. 

Leadership of schools is a complex 

task and cannot be done in 

isolation. I would like to thank the 

leadership demonstrated by Andy 

Müller (Deputy Principal), Leah 

O’Toole (Director of Professional 

Development), Barry Hill (Head of 

Upper School), Chris Appel (Head 

of Middle School), Jane Britten 

(Head of Junior School), Tom Fisher 

(Director of Curriculum), Kerry 

Bolger (Head of Cornish Campus), 

Deborah Trengove (Director of 

Pastoral Care) , Virginia Tonc (Chief 

of Staff) and Andrew Simpson 

(Director of Finance), which has been 

outstanding.

Early Learning (3 and 4 

years old) to year 10 

The Cornish Campus of 

St Leonard’s College is 

located at Patterson River, 

on a 40 hectare bush 

and wetland setting. The 

curriculum covers Early 

Learning (three and four 

year old children) to year 

10. Primary students 

undertake the widely 

respected International 


Programme (IB PYP). The 

Campus has also themed 

all its programs to foster 

personal and community 

sustainability. Year 11 and 12 

students complete the VCE or 

International Baccalaureate 

Diploma at the College’s 

Brighton Campus. 

The concept of sustainability is 

central to the teaching at the Cornish 

Campus. The Campus’ programs all 

aim to foster global, community and 

individual sustainability amongst 

students and staff. 

The College’s sustainability focus 

parallels many of the concepts 

covered by the International 


Programme (IB PYP). The PYP 

covers Early Learning (ELC) to year 

6 and every term students explore 

several units of enquiry designed 

to encourage understandings and 

interests. For instance, in term 1 

students looked at “Who we are”. 

This was an inquiry into the nature 

of self, beliefs and values. As part 

of the unit, Prep students examined 

“We can each make choices that 

keep us healthy, happy and safe in 

our community”. While years 3 and 4 

looked at “We have a responsibility 

to look after ourselves and our 

environment.” 

Many enrichment activities, designed 

to enhance classroom learning, 

were organised during 2010. For 

example, the year 9 students were 

involved in a student parliament 

which operated throughout the 

school year. The years 5 and 6 

students hosted a Community Expo 

on science and technology for the 

school community. The event was 

the culmination of a unit called “Take 

only what you need” and involved a 

considerable amount of work and 

effort. A number of students from 

years 7 to 10 participated in the ASX 

Schools Sharemarket game. Year 9 

and 10 Business students developed 

business plans to enter into the 

Australasian Plan Your Own Business 

competition sponsored by the CPA. 

Benjamin Gonsalvez, year 5, was 

selected to be a Junior Ambassador 

for Victoria and attend the Asian 

Pacific Children’s Convention, in 

Fukuoka, Japan in July. 

There were also many other 

programs and activities organised 

to meet a wide range of students’ 

needs. This included a visit from 

Harold and the Life Education Van. 

The program focused on personal 

physical, social and emotional well 

being as well as decision making

and social skills. Further, the 

College also held mothers’, fathers’ 

and grandparents’ days. The year 

10 students participated in a Future 

Direction class, which assisted in 

career planning and transition to 

the Brighton Campus for study at 

years 11 and 12. 

It has become a tradition that the 

year 8 students participate in a 

buddy program with the students 

in the ELC. Every fortnight year 

8 students met with ELC three 

and four year old children. Prep 

students are also buddied up 

with year 5 students. Years 9 and 

10 students participated in the 

College’s Community, Urban and 

Environmental sustainability 

(CUE) program. CUE incorporates 

a three-week Big Experience trip, 

which includes a community service 

component and consideration 

of global sustainability issues. 

This year students were offered a 

choice of Laos/Cambodia, Fiji, 

China or Vietnam. 

As part of a focus on sustainability 

many community-oriented activities 

were also undertaken during the 

year. A few are mentioned here. 

The annual Winter Sleepout raised 

$6,000 in August for homeless 

Melbournians. Additionally, years 9 

and 10 students were also involved 

in the Red Cross community action 

program. The students rotated 

through weekly placements 

in a range of local community 

organisations such as opportunity 

shops and nursing homes. More 

social service activities are outlined 

in the Social Service section. 

The campus community is 

proud of its contribution to the 

wider education community. 

Approximately 45 teachers from 

both Victorian and interstate 

schools visited the Cornish 

Campus across two tours as part 

of the Victorian PYP Network Open 

Schools Fortnight in the middle 

of the year. Congratulations to 

teachers, Ms Annemarie Denton 

and Ms Kirsty Liljegren, who were 

finalists in the National Excellence 

in Teaching Awards. 

A particularly exciting development 

during the year was the development 

of a brief for an outdoor/indoor 

learning centre to be located in 

between the tennis courts and the 

lake. The Cornish Campus was also 

a finalist in the Resource Smart 

Schools Awards in the section 

on improvements to our waste 

management. We also received a 

commendation for the work done 

on improving biodiversity. Further, 

the Cornish Campus was presented 

with a School’s Garden Award on 

1 December. This was the second 

consecutive year that Cornish Campus 

has been a regional winner and State 

Finalist in this particular competition.

Junior School 

as part of their unit of inquiry “Our 

Neighbourhood, Our World.” 

Early learning – year 4 

Located at Brighton, McMillan 

House provides a supportive 

and enjoyable learning 

environment for students 

from 3 and 4 year old early 

learning (ELC) to year 4. The 

Junior School follows the 

curriculum framework of the 


Primary Years Programme 

(IB PYP) which uses inquirybased 

learning to develop 

skills and understandings. The 

PYP encourages students to 

become internationally-minded 

citizens by developing a list 

of attributes, such as being a 

“thinker” and “open-minded”. 

McMillan House is an accredited 

provider of the International 


Programme (IB PYP). This year, the 

students explored a wide range of 

PYP topics within the six Units of 

Inquiry investigated throughout the 

year. Units were used to explore the 

transdisciplinary themes of: Who We 

Are, Where We Are in Place and Time, 

How We Express Ourselves, How 

the World Works, How We Organise 

Ourselves and Sharing The Planet. 

Unit topics ranged from human 

migration (year 4), water (year 2), 

human body (year 6) and responsibility 

within a community (Prep). Explicit 

teaching in literacy and numeracy and 

the PYP provide a successful balance 

to teaching and learning. In October 

we were evaluated by external 

assessors in PYP and received a highly 

favourable report. 

Classroom activities are designed 

to encourage children’s sense of 

curiosity and stimulate interest. 

For example, year 3 children visited 

the College’s senior school science 

rooms and had a session with the 

Monash Science Centre within their 

unit on “States of Matter’”. Year 1 

students visited the sensory garden 

at the Royal Botanic Gardens as part 

of their unit about how the senses 

help us gather information about 

the world. Prep students went on 

an excursion to the Eureka Tower 

Various enrichment activities were 

also held during the year. A few are 

mentioned here. In March, McMillan 

House students were treated to a 

percussion session by the highlyregarded 

musician Steve Schulz. 

Students from prep to year 4 

participated in the Victorian Premier’s 

Reading Challenge. Popular children’s 

author Jeanette Rowe visited the 

College during Book Week. Hip hop 

was taught to year 4 students. 

McMillan House students also 

completed University of NSW ICAS 

English, Mathematics and Science 

competitions and the Science Talent 

Search (STS). One student topped 

the State in English. Also, year 3 

students participated in the National 

Assessment Program, Literacy 

and Numeracy tests. The results of 

the tests provided information for 

education authorities, parents and 

teachers, about a child’s literacy 

and numeracy. 

Throughout the year, McMillan 

House students also contributed 

to the wider school and general 

community. Activities included 

Mothers’ and Fathers’ Day 


Prep student Jacinta Robinson-Grinberg 

assisted at the induction of the College’s 

Student Council leaders at the beginning of 

the school year. 

The primary swimming carnival. 

Juliette Capomolla and Bailey Allen 

experience life as a Gold Rush migrant at 

Sovereign Hill. 

Charlotte Hayward and Eleanor Chadwick 

visited a Vietnamese Restaurant as part of a 

year 4 excursion which examined migration.

page 21 

breakfasts, a Grandparents’ day, 

prep and parent picnic days. 

Students walked, rode or scootered 

to school as part of Ride2School Day 

in March and Walktober in October. 

These events demonstrated a 

commitment to taking part in being 

both fit and community minded. 

McMillan House also actively 

contributed to the wider education 

community. We hosted study tours 

from New Zealand in May and 

October. In May the ELC at both 

campuses welcomed 14 educators 

from Tasmania who were interested 

in the philosophies from Reggio 

Emilia. We thank the whole McMillan 

House community for a busy, happy 

and successful year.

Middle School 

Middle School, 

years 5 – 9 

Located at Brighton, the 

Middle School caters 

for students aged 10 to 

15 years. Middle School 

curriculum and programs 

are carefully structured to 

foster knowledge, skills and 

interests within a happy, 

supportive and stimulating 

environment. Middle School 

programs are also intended 

to prepare students for the 

challenges of the senior 

school years. 

As part of the International 


Programme (IB PYP), both year 5 and 

6 students undertook six Units of 

Inquiry. As part of their examination 

of democracy and government, the 

year 6 students completed a study 

trip to Canberra, and this proved 


Students organised various fundraisers 

to assist Kampuchea House, a charity 

organisation in Cambodia. 

Co-curricular activities including performing 

arts and sports. 

In July a team of St Leonard’s philosophy 

students, from Middle School and Upper 

School, won the inaugural Philosothon 

event, which was hosted by Ballarat 

Grammar.

As part of the year 9 Big Experience trips, 

a group of students and staff visited 

Cambodia, pictured here at Ankgor Wat. 

to be a highlight for many of them. 

Another major event for year 6 

students was the exhibition they 

held in term 3. The central idea for 

the exhibition was “Finding peaceful 

solutions to conflict leads to a better 

quality of life for all” and students 

chose an issue to inquire into. The 

exhibition was intended to be a 

culmination of their PYP studies 

from this and preceding years. As 

year 5 students are also completing 

their PYP and moving under a Middle 

School Curriculum framework, they 

completed an exhibition around the 

central idea of “Finite resources 

need to be managed to sustain life.” 

Both year levels worked very hard 

with their teachers and mentors to 

produce displays for the exhibition. 

Special programs for years 5 and 

6 included the Tournament of 

Minds and Future Problem Solving 

competitions. The success in these 

programs was outstanding in 2010 

and more information is given below. 

The College offered a structured 

transition program to welcome 

all year 7 s to their secondary 

education. This included the year 

7 trip to Camp Ibis and the Peer 

Support Program where year 11 

students assist year 7 students 

in their understanding of school 

standards and act as role models 

for them. The Personal Development 

program focused on cyber education 

to complement the information 

delivered in different subjects. 

During 2010 year 7 gained much 

from their various subjects which 

included Food Technology, Materials 

Technology, Drama and Music added 

to the core subjects. Many year 7 

students studied two languages, 

other than English, and this is the 

start of a journey that will see them 

all through to year 9 and many 

will take their Language subject 

through to year 12. Highlights of 

the academic year included the 

Historical walk through Melbourne 

as well as our successful entry into 

the da Vinci Decathlon, in which we 

moved through to the State finals at 

Methodist Ladies College. 

The year 8 students threw 

themselves into the ACS sport 

competition with a number of 

premierships including the netball 

team who came from behind in 

the grand final. Academically the 

students were challenged in the 

classroom with PRISM classes, 

the Australian Mathematics 

Competition, the Ballads 

competition, Public Speaking 

competition and the Horror Movies 

unit which brings the Literacy year to 

a close. Science Week began 

with a visit from international 

scientist, author and podcaster, 

Dr Chris Smith, better known as The 

Naked Scientist. During his visit

page 23 

Dr Smith and a panel of scientists 

took questions from year 8 students 

and recorded material for a podcast. 

The year 9 program focused on 

community and global views with 

the Personal Development Program 

adding time to the CUE reflections 

and giving form teachers time to 

discuss key adolescent issues. 

The program included the Outdoor 

Education hike in the Otways 

and opportunities for House 

leadership. The year 9 students 

also participated in the year-long 

Community, Urban and Environment 

(CUE) Program, designed to help 

students develop personal skills 

and a deeper understanding of 

their place in their local community 

and their world. The CUE Program 

concluded with a choice of four 3 

week Big Experience trips in term 4. 

The locations were China, Vietnam, 

Fiji and Laos/Cambodia. As part of 

the Community Service aspect of 

CUE, each trip supported a charity. 

For example, students assisted 

Kampuchea House in Cambodia and 

raised funds to help build a hut in 

Vietnam. Please refer to the Social 

Service section for further details. 

Year 9 also participated in activities 

designed to encourage selfinvestigation. 

Five year 9 students 

attended the Uniting Through Faith 

2010 Student Conference as part 

of the Comparative Religions study 

which students undertake in year 9 

Religious Education. 

The Victorian Curriculum and 

Assessment Authority’s National 

Assessment Program - Literacy and 

Numeracy tests for years 5, 7 and 9 

were held in May. Overall, student 

results were positive. 

There were many special 

achievements during the year and 

a few are listed here. 

In August three primary Tournament 

of Minds (TOM) teams qualified for 

the Regional Finals and 

Mrs Anna Adam’s Social Science 

team consisting of: Sophie Tallis 

(year 6), Isobel Galloway (year 

6), Rainer Curcio (year 6), Julian 

Grimm, (year 5) Jacqui Lokum (year 

5), Kate Howard (year 5) and Anna

Upper School 

Located at Brighton, the 

Upper School incorporates 

years 10 - 12, with students 

graduating from year 12 

having completed either 

the Victorian Certificate 

of Education (VCE) or the 


(IB) Diploma Programme. 

Students also enjoy a range 

of cocurricular programs and 

opportunities that nurture 

and challenge the whole 

person. As the College’s most 

senior students, there is also 

a range of leadership and 

mentoring opportunities. 

Upper School students participated 

in many programs and activities 

during the year. 

One of the most important aspects 

of the Upper School’s program is to 

prepare students for the transition 

into the world beyond the College. 

As part of this year 10 students 

undertook career related aptitude 

tests and participated in mock job 

interviews. They also completed 

a program designed to assist 

them in future course selections. 

This incorporated a week of work 

experience. The College also 

hosted a “Courses and Careers” 

evening for Brighton and Cornish 

students in year 10. In 2010 a 

Personal Development Program was 

introduced into the Upper School. 

This is a structured program ranging 

from study techniques to exploring 

thoughts and feelings. 

There were also plenty of leadership 

opportunities available. The Student 

Council plays an important role 

in organising various programs at 

the College. The College also has 

student committees at years 10 and 

11. There are also House Leadership 

teams of eight year 12 students with 

two House Representatives at each 

of years 10 and 11. These students 

work closely with staff members 

who mentor the students. 

Upper School students were 

engaged in a range of fundraising 

activities throughout the year. At 

years 11 and 12 the Creativity Action 

and Service (CAS) component of 

the IB Diploma Programme fosters 

community service projects and 

ethical standards. This year the 

Student Council supported Berry 

Street, a Victorian organisation 

which assists young people and 

various fundraisers were held during 

the year. Students also supported 

the World’s Greatest Shave event 

which raised funds for the Leukemia 

Foundation. Year 10 students raised 

funds to assist a school in East 

Timor while one House Captain 

organised a number of blood 

donations throughout the year. The 

Social Service section outlines more 

of these activities. 

There were many wonderful 

achievements throughout the year, 

of which we are very proud. 

In academic competitions: 

A small number of year 10 and 11 

students participated in the 

University of NSW Science 

Competition with outstanding results.

Sport 

The College’s sports 

program incorporates 

physical education classes 

and a range of compulsory 

and optional sporting 

competitions. This allows 

students to participate 

and enjoy sport at both 

competitive and 

recreational levels. 

Students from prep to year 4 

participate in modified sports and 

team games that concentrate on 

developing motor skills. Years 4, 5 and 

6 students at the Brighton Campus

Outdoor Education & Camp Ibis 

Outdoor Education 

The Outdoor Education program 

uses outdoor and environmentbased 

activities to facilitate the 

students development of personal 

and interpersonal skills. Students 

from years 5 – 8 attend the College’s 

Outdoor Education facility at Camp 

Ibis on the Banksia Peninsula while 

students from years 9 – 12 are 

offered a range of core and optional 

experiences. 

During 2010 the Outdoor Education 

program was designed to provide 

opportunities for students to 

enjoy the outdoors, undergo new 

experiences and learn new skills. 

Many students find the year 9 and 

10 mobile camping experiences 

to be a memorable challenge and 

experience. During 2010, year 9 

students undertook a five-day hike 

on a section of the Great Ocean Walk, 

in the Otways National Park. The year 

10 students hiked and camped in the 

beautiful mountains of the Alpine 

National Park. 

The camps took students out of their 

comfort zone and extended them 

in many ways. They were required 

to be self-sufficient and used many 

life skills ranging from problem 

solving and navigating to cooking and 

camping. The program is designed 

to foster skills such as teamwork, 

goal setting, patience, initiative and 

independence. Many students who 

completed the camps also formed 

new bonds with their peers and 

teachers. 

During the year a range of 

supplementary trips and 

experiences were available for 

students from year 7 onwards, 

as listed here. 

A group of students from years 10 

– 12 participated in a rockclimbing 

camp at Mt Arapiles over Easter, 

while another group worked on 

their surf skills and knowledge on a 

camp in Angelsea. In July students 

from Upper School had a very 

special skiing and snowcamping 

trip to Mount Stirling. With heavy 

rains and snow for the season, the 

rivers were full of great rapids for 

the two groups who camped and 

rafted their way down the Mitchell 

River in September. Students of the 

College’s rock climbing team also 

attended indoor training sessions 

and competed in the Victorian 

Interschool climbing competition. 

The Boardriders (surfing) Club 

enjoyed various weekend training 

and recreational trips. This 

included surf camps at Anglesea 

and participation in a range of 

competitions. In April, the 

St Leonard’s surf team competed 

in the Southern Metropolitan Surf 

Competition at Philip Island and 

finished in fifth place overall. 

The school kayak and canoe 

team completed regular training 

sessions in the pool and river 

in preparation for the Victorian 

schools whitewater canoe and 

kayak championships. The following 

students won gold medals in the 

2010 Victorian Whitewater Kayaking 

Championships: Ellen Burgin (year 

12), Jonathon Egan (year 12), Emma 

Eichhorn (year 12), Chris Martin (year 

6) and Jack Slykhuis (year 8). 

Senior students also participated 

in the challenging but spectacular 

hiking and camping trips to 

Tasmania in December. A group of 

year 11 students ventured into the 

Walls of Jerusalem National Park, 

while the year 12 group tackled the 

renowned South Coast Track. 

Students from years 9 – 12 can 

also participate in the Duke of 

Edinburgh’s Award, a voluntary 

leadership-in-action program 

and hikes along the Surfcoast 

and Wilson’s Promontory were 

conducted as part of the program. 


The year 10 hike challenges students in a 

variety of ways.

Camp Ibis 

The aim of the year 5 program is to 

give the students an opportunity 

to be responsible for themselves 

and their belongings and to live 

away from home for an extended 

period of time. Most students have 

been challenged and have gained a 

good insight into being somewhat 

self sufficient, whilst gaining 

transferable skills which they can 

use in everyday life. 

The year 6 wildlife survey has come 

up with some interesting information 

about the Banksia Peninsula fauna. 

Students have participated in a 

number of different survey methods 

and have discovered numerous species 

of animals living in and around Ibis. 

Through the year 6 caving experience 

students have had an opportunity to 

participate in a challenge by choice 

activity. All students should be happy 

with their achievements. 

In the year 7 program, a Kurnai 

educator led our students though an 

indigenous culture program focusing 

on the Mitchell River and Den of 

Nargun area and weapons induction. 

The students gained a greater 

insight into how the local Aboriginal 

population lived in East Gippsland. 

The year 8 students undertook a 

two-night journey based experience 

in the bush. Students learnt through 

this experience about gear and food 

requirements for an expedition, 

were exposed to the Gippsland Lake 

environment and worked together 

to complete a sailing and 

bushwalking journey. 

Arts 

Visual and 

Performing Arts 

Visual and performing arts are an 

important feature of College life. 

There were many arts events and 

programs held during the year. 

A highlight was the external 

acknowledgement of the work of year 

12 performing, visual and graphic 

arts students from the class of 2009. 

The VCE Season of Excellence 

displays selected works completed 

by VCE 2009 students from around 

Victoria. Congratulations to Lachlan 

Kiernan whose work was selected for 

the Top Designs Exhibition. Lachlan’s 

work was also selected along with 

Sarah Matler for exhibition in Top 

Arts 2009. 

Sarah and Olivia Edwards had 

photography work selected for Top 

Shots 2009 at the Monash Gallery 

of Art from 16 April – 23 May. 

All five of our year 12 2009 

International Baccalaureate Diploma 

Visual Art students were selected 

to exhibit at the Victorian and 

Tasmanian IB Art Exhibition at the 

Glen Eira City Council Gallery from 

25 February – 8 March. They were 

Alexandria Dickinson, Alex Raybould, 

Nasei Afriyie-Agyemang, Anika 

Stobart and Kim Moller Warmedal. 

The House Music Concert is held 

annually and is always a highlight 

and delight of our College calendar, 

showcasing student and staff talent. 

House Music is a College event 

which involves students from years 

5 to 12 (years 5 to 10 at the Cornish 

Campus). Congratulations to Forster 

House, the winner of this year’s 

House Music competition. 

Music students had a range of 

opportunities during 2010. Students 

at the Brighton Campus participated 

in various bands, strings and choral 

ensembles across a range of year 

levels. These groups performed at 

various functions and events such 

as the Big Bands Concert, Strings 

Concert, Small Ensembles Concert, 

new parents’ dinner and Community 

Day Fair. IB students performed 

a recital at the Harefield Club 

gathering in August. Congratulations 

also to Zoe Seaberg-Gordon for 

being awarded the Edna G Forster 

Music Award for 2010. 

Another highlight was the 

Combined Schools Music Festival. 

Forty-five students and six staff 

from both the Cornish and Brighton 

campuses visited Kinross Wolaroi 

School in Orange, NSW, to participate 

in this major event.

Years 3 and 4 students were able to 

participate in the McMillan House 

strings program. Interested students 

were also invited to participate 

in our cocurricular activities: 

junior string orchestra, choir and 

recorder consort comprising 

sopranino, descant, treble and 

tenor instruments. These students 

performed at various events during 

the year, particularly assemblies. 

At the Cornish Campus the year 3 

and 4 string program and the year 7 

Instrumental program are thriving. 

All students from ELC to year 8, were 

involved in music and many nominated 

to study specific music electives 

for years 9 and 10. The Composer in 

Residence elective culminated in a 

terrific concert of music composed 

and performed by the students 

under the direction of our composer 

in residence, Ms Karen Kyriakou. 

Recitals for students who learnt an 

instrument were held throughout 

the year. Students could also join the 

Primary or Senior Choir, Stage Band, 

Concert Band, String Ensemble, Brass 

Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble and 

String Quintet. Many of these groups 

performed in the Big Bands Concert, 

Strings Concert and Choir Concert. 

Thirty-three Cornish musicians and 

dancers performed at the Southern 

Independent Schools Big Night Out 

at the Drum Theatre in Dandenong 

on Tuesday 23 March. In August the 

Primary string students performed at 

Dallas Brooks Hall for the IPSHA Music

Festival. Congratulations to the Cornish 

Campus Stage Band who received a 

gold award for their performance in the 

Junior Jazz Ensemble section of the 

Melbourne Bands Festival in term 3. 

Drama students at Brighton took 

advantage of a wide range of 

performance opportunities that 

spanned the entire school calendar. 

During first term, the wildly popular 

Theatre Sports utilised the talents of 

Upper School students and provided 

its audience with an evening of sidesplitting 

hilarity. With strolling street 

performances at the Community Day 

Fair offered by the contingent of years 

10, 11 and 12, the talent of students 

engaged in drama classes at the 

upper levels was showcased to great 

advantage. 

During term 2 year 10 drama 

students performed a self-devised 

performance in the Monash Schools’ 

Theatre Festival. All students 

in Drama, Theatre Studies and 

IB Theatre presented ensemble 

performance work. At year 12, 

Drama and IB worked on self devised 

pieces and Theatre Studies tackled 

Caroll Churchill’s “Cloud Nine”. Year 

11 Drama worked on an adaptation 

of Nick Enright’s “Black Rock” 

while Theatre Studies presented a 

selection from Moliere’s “The Doctor 

in Spite of Himself” to appreciative 

audiences. Congratulations to Greg 

Diamond of year 12 who was the 

2010 recipient of the Roma Hart 

award for Theatre. 

Private drama is offered for years 

3 – 11 at Brighton Campus and 

years 5 - 10 at Cornish Campus. 

Speech and drama students had 

opportunities to perform during the 

year through a series of showcase 

evenings. 

A highlight at the Cornish Campus 

was the House Drama competition. 

The winning House this year was 

Munro. The entire Performing and 

Visual Arts Faculties showcased a 

vast range of talent at the annual 

Community Day Fair. This included 

concerts, performing artists and an 

exhibition of student artwork. A big 

thank you to students, parents and 

staff from across the College for 

supporting this event.

Social Service 

The College offers community 

service activities at all year 

levels, enabling students and 

staff to develop links with 

and understanding of their 

local communities. These 

programs aim to empower 

students to make a genuine 

difference to others and 

undertake real responsibility 

for the world around them. 

The fundraising is important 

and satisfying for younger 

children, while older students 

are able to work alongside 

those they are helping. 

Making a difference 

throughout the College 

From ELC to year 12, students 

participate in many social service and 

fundraising activities throughout the 

year. Many activities are mentioned 

in the individual year level section 

pages of this report. Some general 

examples are also listed here. 

One strong theme of the College’s 

social service activities is the 

commitment to developing global 

connections and sustainability. 

This year the College’s Student 

Council elected to support the Berry 

Street Foundation. The Foundation 

works with abused, orphaned 

and disadvantaged youth through 

various community, fostercare and 

special schools programs. Various 

fundraisers for Berry Street were 

organised by students and held 

throughout the year. 

The Student Council also organises 

a fundraising dinner to support 

a primary school in Bangladesh. 

Many members of the College 

community make a special effort 

to attend this night, enjoying fun 

and entertainment while knowing 

they are raising money for a very 

good cause. In recent years the 

annual event has been so successful 

that the College has increased its 

support from one to two schools. 

The schools are operated by Fred 

Hyde’s Cooperation in Development 

Program. This year the evening 

raised over $20,000. 

Year 9 students on both campuses 

enjoy the acclaimed CUE program 

with its three domains: Community 

service, Urban exploration and 

Environmental sustainability. In the 

community domain, students are 

placed at various community service 

organisations. As a volunteer, they 

experience firsthand the importance 

of contributing to their community. 

Most of them speak of the challenges 

and satisfaction they gain from 

helping people in a range of settings. 

These include nursing homes, 

disability services, opportunity 

shops, multicultural primary schools 

and language centres. 

At the beginning of the year, a 

number of year 10 students, 

with the support of the Student 

Council, fundraised to rebuild the 

Fijian village visited by year 9 CUE 

students. The village was devastated 

by a cyclone. 

Each House in Upper School had the 

target of a sustained involvement 

in a community service activity. For 

example, Forster House coordinated 

student Blood Bank donations 

throughout the year. Many year 

levels also raised funds to support 

sponsor children during the year. 

Individual year level reports list 

further examples of social service 

activities. 

Fundraisers were held for Kampuchea 

House, a Cambodian charity 

Students supported the Leukemia 

Foundation’s Shave for a Cure event. 

Year 9 students visited Kampuchea House 

as part of the community component of their 

Big Experience trip.

Associations 

Book Exchange 

Parents’ Association 

(Brighton Campus) 

The St Leonard’s Parents’ 

Association aspires to achieve a 

number of objectives including: 

 

communication between parents 

 

staff with direct and indirect 

support, assisted by fundraising 

 

supportive relationship within the 

College community 

The Parents’ Association is 

comprised of two chapters – 

Brighton and Cornish Parents. 

Consisting of parents of current 

students, we meet monthly during 

term to discuss and act on a wide 

range of issues. At these meetings we 

are fortunate to have the Principal, 

Stuart Davis, or Deputy Principal, 

Andy Müller, who keep us up-to-date 

on what is happening around the 

College, as well as input from College 

Council regarding future plans. We in 

turn communicate these discussions 

to the St Leonard’s community via the 

College website’s online fortnightly 

newsletter. 

Images from a successful Community 

Day Fair which was organised by the 

Parents’ Association. 

All parents of the College are 

welcome to attend any of our 

meetings throughout the year. 

Although separate monthly meetings 

are held at the respective campuses 

with a focus on campus-specific 

issues, many common issues are 

jointly pursued, and we often have 

the President and Vice President of 

Cornish PA attend our Brighton PA 

meetings with valuable contributions. 

The Parents’ Association in 2010 

was most fortunate to have a team 

of very committed parents working 

diligently to provide some great 

services and events for College 

families. We always welcome new 

members to the Committee to help 

give us a balanced representative 

group to make up a successful PA. 

Throughout 2010 a multitude of 

events, activities and projects 

were organised and/or funded by 

the Parents’ Association. Some of 

these were Brighton PA initiatives, 

and some were run jointly with the 

Cornish PA. We thank the Cornish 

PA for their involvement with many 

of our events at Brighton. 

Since the last AGM in November 

2009, the newly elected PA 

committee has had a busy year, and 

the following is a brief overview. 

The second-hand Book Exchange 

and breakfast BBQ is an annual 

activity held in early December, 

which the PA coordinates with a 

team of volunteers. It is a great 

opportunity for families to buy and 

sell selected editions of second 

hand text books. Last year College 

parents were able to sell over 

$50,000 worth of text books and 

recoup some of the expense of 

purchasing new books, and as a 

result the PA is thankful for the 

commission it collects on all sales. 

This event takes many days of 

planning and setting up for the 

sale day. We thank Alison Sturgess, 

Jane Packer and the many parent 

volunteers for planning and running 

the Exchange for the past three 

years, and Soula Kolivas, Kylie Abela 

and Belinda Shurlin for taking on 

the organisation, IT planning and 

logistics for forthcoming years. 

Thanks also to Bill Reid and his 

committed helpers for the early 

morning breakfast and coffee to 

reward the early shoppers. 

New Parents’ Dinner 

The year 2010 commenced with 

the PA arranging and hosting the 

traditional ‘New Parents’ Dinner’ on 

13 February at Harefield Courtyard, 

providing a warm welcome to over 

150 new parents, including new 

Principal, Stuart Davis. It is always 

a great way for new parents at both 

Brighton and Cornish campuses to 

be welcomed to the College. 

A great team effort made it a very 

successful evening – the Student 

Council waited on tables and did the

Associations cont... 

clean up; PA members from Brighton 

and Cornish cooked the BBQ; the 

Catering team at Brighton prepared 

the food and arranged the facilities. 

Many College Executives attended 

and were able to answer questions 

and help the new families settle into 

their new school. 

All in all it was a great night with 

many people meeting each other 

and new College families for the first 

time. Great friendships commence 

on evenings like this when people 

are brought together in a common 

forum. Many thanks to Bill Reid for 

organising this evening. 

Year level gatherings 

Each year the PA encourages 

parents to become Class 

Representatives to arrange and 

organise social events that are 

relevant to their year level and 

interests for parents only or the 

entire family. This year we managed 

to create class reps/grade reps 

‘structure’ throughout the College 

from ELC to year 12 with over 

60 class/grade reps. We also 

introduced the role of PA Class Rep 

Coordinator to assist class reps over 

several year levels. It has proved a 

most successful networking role and 

will continue in future. Our thanks 

to Robbie McConnell for writing 

and producing a new and useful 

brochure “The Class Representative: 

Role and Resources” which gives 

class reps the knowledge and tools 

needed to carry out their important 

role in communicating with parents. 

There is also an online version 

available on the College website. 

The Class Reps report any 

forthcoming social events for their 

year level to our two PA Newsletter 

editors Robbie McConnell and Kylie 

Abela who publish them for the 

College community in the online 

fortnightly newsletter. Thank you 

Kylie and Robbie for compiling and 

producing the Brighton PA section of 

the newsletter this year. 

Community Day “Town 

and Country” Fair 

On 20 March the Association held 

the annual Community Day Fair, 

which was an outstanding success 

not only raising considerable funds, 

but also providing an opportunity 

to showcase the school and the 

talents of our students. The music 

and singing performances and 

fabulous art exhibitions along with 

a very broad range of food and craft 

stalls, displays, community group 

stalls and a large range of activities 

and rides for the children make this 

day a memorable one for everyone 

who attends. 

The CDF raised approximately 

$55,000 which is a great result, and 

as promised has gone towards the 

Performing Arts facilities at both 

campuses, with Brighton PA donating 

$44,000 towards the refurbishment 

of the TC Woolhouse Theatre. 

Thanks to our fair convenor Susan 

Chadwick, who performed an 

outstanding job pulling together 

a huge group of team leaders, 

stall volunteers, donors and many 

service providers to make the day an 

amazing event. 

The PA appreciates the help received 

from hundreds of volunteers from 

the College in helping make this day 

such a fabulous success. We simply 

couldn’t host the Fair without you. 

International Friends 

– present 

The PA’s International Friends Group 

provides support and friendship for 

families new to St Leonard’s - from 

overseas and interstate. This group 

provides a wealth of local knowledge 

and assists newcomers greatly 

with their transition into the local 

community, by holding many social 

activities across the whole year. 

In 2010 the International Friends 

group grew to have 80 St Leonard’s 

College families registered.

Day Fair which was organised by the

Sharon Irwin has performed a great 

role in convening these activities, 

and with assistance from other 

parents in the group has provided a 

warm welcome and entrée for many 

St Leonard’s families. She initiated 

the Tuesday Tour Group two years 

ago and has organised, together with 

her Committee, over 22 outings 

in 2010. A big thank you to Sharon 

for her valued involvement in the 

International Friends Group and we 

wish her well on her return overseas. 

International Friends 

– past 

As I personally enjoyed the warm 

friendships forged at the College 

through the International Friends 

group, and having “finished” at 

St Leonard’s College with the last 

of my children in 2009, I thought it 

an opportune time to set up a Past 

Parents International Friends group, 

which was also most successful with 

many social events throughout 2010 

and will grow again in numbers to 18 

families in 2011. 

Gala Ball 

Socially 2010 was an amazing 

year, with the Class Reps and 

International Friends groups very 

active. However, other groups within 

the College thought it a good time to 

revive the Gala Ball, not held since 

2004. The prestigious Sandringham 

Yacht Club was the chosen venue 

and attended by over 230 guests 

dressed in their themed James Bond 

costumes. Everyone had such a 

great time that another Gala Ball is 

scheduled for 2011. 

Babysitting / waiting / 

home help registry 

Our thanks to Rhyll McMullen for 

compiling lists of St Leonard’s College 

year 10 to 12 students who are 

available to undertake these tasks. 

Details, including payment of fees, 

are available to parents wanting to 

use the service, at each of the school 

offices. This is a very successful and 

worthwhile resource for both the 

students and parent users. 

Family crisis support 

The family crisis support service 

initiated in 2009, has become 

another valuable resource for 

College families. It is a service 

designed to be flexible, confidential 

and available at short notice, 

dedicated to helping College families 

in times of need, such as serious 

illness and family bereavement. 

Many parents have volunteered 

to assist in a multitude of ways by 

donating family meals on a regular 

basis, shop, help with transport to 

medical appointments or school, 

do a basket of ironing, or help with 

other day-to-day tasks. Referrals 

are managed in the strictest 

confidence and volunteers generally 

do not receive details of the crisis. 

Thank you to Gabrielle Wells for 

developing this initiative and for her 

ongoing dedication in coordinating 

and providing this very valuable 

service to College families. 

Seminars 

The Parents’ Association was 

pleased to coordinate and host 

some very informative seminars 

for parents in 2010, opening these 

seminars up to College families and 

the broader Bayside community. 

A seminar specifically for Junior 

School parents in May by Kathy 

Walker discussed parenting, 

discipline, and addressed strategies 

for coping with challenging behaviour. 

Our second speaker in August was 

Paul Dillon, Australia’s foremost 

Drug and Alcohol educator. This 

year’s theme, Drugs, continued 

on from his seminar on Alcohol in 

2009. Over 400 parents attended 

his evening seminar at Brighton 

and many parents remarked on 

how worthwhile the evening was 

in making them more aware of the 

problems we may face with our 

teenage children. In addition to 

the parent seminars a further 600 

teachers and students in years 10, 

11 and 12 attended day sessions 

presented by Paul. 

Networking 

St Leonard’s College co-hosted 

together with the Victorian 

Parents Council (VPC), a voice for 

independent schools, the Inter- 

School Liaison Group whereby ideas 

are exchanged between various 

PA’s from these schools around 

Melbourne and Victoria. Valuable 

insights gained and ideas that could 

perhaps be incorporated into our 

College PA. A meeting on 4 August 

featured guest speaker Kathy King 

who introduced us to alternative 

technology and the Sustainable 

School Shop. 

Year 12 parents thank 

you BBQ dinner 

This BBQ was initiated as a way of 

the Association saying thank you to 

parents of year 12 students for their 

enormous contribution to College life 

whilst their child has been a student, 

and also as a means of providing an 

opportunity for many in this group of 

parents to meet, in a formal sense, 

one final time. 

The Harefield Courtyard is set for 

alfresco dining and it is always a 

fun dinner, enjoyed by all those who 

attend, with some great musical 

performances to kick-off the 

evening by the College’s student 

Concert Band. 

Bill Reid organises the finer details 

of the evening with the support of 

many PA members as cooks 

and hosts, and the catering team. 

We thank them all for another 

well organised evening held on 

18 November.


Bursaries and grants 

Each year the Association supports 

and assists others in the College 

community by providing grants, this 

year totalling $12,500. Two programs 

are funded - the Professional 

Development Grant for College staff 

and the Student Representative 

Bursary to assist individuals and 

teams to attend state, national 

and international forums and 

competitions in science, sport 

and youth affairs. 

The College selected a number of 

students and teachers to receive 

funds to assist them in their 

endeavours and their development, 

and the PA is proud to be involved 

with this funding. 

Uniform Shop 

The Association owns and manages 

the College Uniform Shop which 

provides funds from sales profits for 

activities such as student bursaries, 

teacher enrichment programs, and 

special school projects such as the 

refurbishment of Camp Ibis. The 

staff and volunteers also provide 

valuable information on a multitude 

of things relating to College life. For 

many it is their first point of contact 

when wanting to find out something 

in particular about the College. 

In 2010 we have also commenced 

providing a Uniform Shop sales 

service at Cornish Campus, which 

has worked well. 

The PA became involved with the 

implementation process for the new 

uniform, and is very proud to have 

negotiated better pricing and improved 

quality for the school uniform. 

The Uniform Shop accepted the old 

uniform for charity via Rotary, for less 

fortunate children overseas. 

We thank Tina Potter and all her vast 

team of parent volunteers and staff 

for their efforts in providing a great 

service for College families in 2010. 

Funds 

Although the PA is not primarily 

intended as a fund making group, 

the outcome of many of our activities 

such as the Fair, the Book Exchange 

and the Uniform Shop do generate 

some substantial income. Generally 

the PA will annually fund initiatives 

as proposed and agreed by the PA 

and the College. When decisions 

are made on purchases, they will be 

advised through the St Leonard’s 

College’s online newsletter. 

Thank you 

The many activities that are 

arranged by the PA and the ongoing 

staffing of the Uniform Shop are all 

reliant on the support of volunteers 

from the College community. 

Without parents volunteering to 

assist in some capacity, we simply 

could not proceed with our calendar 

of events. Thank you to all those 

families that have been able to 

contribute in some way towards the 

success of those events. 

The time required to participate 

in the formal component of the 

Parents’ Association organisation 

and meetings can be challenging for 

many to juggle in their busy family 

schedule. I would like to thank the 

group of parents who make up the 

regular attendance at the Brighton 

PA, and for their relentless pursuit 

in offering various events for the 

benefit of College families. The PA 

had a very successful year in 2010, 

of which you can all be proud. 

The Brighton Parents’ Association 

Committee lost some great 

contributors at the end of 2010 and 

we said a big thank you to them 

all, as many of our events and our 

involvement with many activities 

would not have been as successful 

without them. 

As stated earlier, at our monthly PA 

meetings the Principal, Stuart Davis, 

or Deputy Principal, Andy Müller, 

attend and update the PA on College 

issues. This is a very beneficial 

process in order to be productive 

and well-informed. We would like 

to thank Stuart and Andy for their 

support of the Parents’ Association 

and our activities in the College 

community. 

The role of any Parents’ Association 

is to be relevant to the school 

community, and the Committee 

seeks your input and involvement 

to enable this to continue, so I 

encourage you all to participate. We 

warmly welcome all parents to our 

monthly meetings. 

All of our current and forthcoming 

events are included in the fortnightly 

St Leonard’s online Newsletter via the 

College website.

(Cornish Campus) 

How quickly a year goes and 2010 

was a busy year for the Cornish 

Campus Parents’ Association. A big 

thank you to everyone that helped us 

make it a successful year. As always, 

the Cornish Campus community 

of parents, students, staff and 

extended family members have 

provided an amazing level of support 

and commitment to the Parents’ 

Association activities this year. 

Some of the activities we ran during 

the year were: 

 

new parents 

 

Community Day Fair 

 

the Community Day Fair 

 

Day Fair 

 


 

Day Fair 

 


 

 

school musical “Cinderella 

and Rockerfella” 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Campus Ms Marcia Behrenbruch 

 

 

Some of the projects funded during 

the year were: 

 

 

 

 

 

for productions 

 

primary students 

 

One of the highlights of the year 

would have to be the Community 

Day Fair, and, as always, this was 

a great day out. The weather was 

superb, allowing for all who attended 

to make the absolute most of the 

day. An enormous amount of effort 

and time goes into pulling this day 

together, and it showed. Thank you 

to all the parents, staff and students 

who helped to make this a successful 

and fun day out. The funds allocated 

to Cornish Campus from the fair 

profits, were used to purchase sound 

equipment and blockout blinds for the 

gymnasium. 

The other highlight of 2010 was our 

annual dinner dance, The Big Night 

Out. This year saw the evening at a 

new venue, Castello’s. The theme 

of the evening was Italian, which 

resulted in the Ancient Romans, 

Italian Mafia, Super MarioBros and 

Roman Vatican clergy attending the 

evening. An interesting mix but all 

in all a very like minded group! This 

was a very successful evening, with 

tickets selling out a couple of weeks 

before the night. The silent auction 

was a huge success, so thank you to 

the companies who donated items 

and each class group hamper that 

was donated. We have yet to allocate 

the funds raised from the evening. 

Thank you to the Committee for 

organising the event. It was your 

efforts that made it such a great 

night out.


The Cornish Campus Uniform Shop 

has become an important addition to 

the Cornish community. The change 

to the new uniform approached 

completion and the Cornish Uniform 

Shop was able to provide a convenient 

and professional service. The shop 

had a refit, provided by the Parents’ 

Association, to better meet the 

demands of the Cornish community. 

Thank you to Karen McDonald and 

her volunteers for all their efforts in 

providing a necessary service to our 

school group. 

2010 was a busy year for everyone 

involved in the Parents’ Association. 

I would especially like to thank the 

Committee, parents and staff for 

their ongoing support of me in my 

first year as president. When you 

take on this role you are naive to 

what is truly involved in keeping a 

lot of the annual events running. 

One year in, for such a small group 

of people you do an amazing job 

behind the scenes, giving our school 

community some amazing events. 

For that I say thank you. 

On behalf of the Parents’ Association, 

I wish you all a great 2011. 

Cornish

SLOCA 

The St Leonard’s Old Collegians’ 

Association (SLOCA) provides 

opportunities for past students 

to maintain friendships with one 

another and maintain a connection 

with the College through a variety of 

activities and events. Many events 

are open to all members of the 

St Leonard’s community. 

Reunions 

Reunions for Old Collegians are held 

every year, with leavers returning to 

the College once every five years. 

They are always well attended and 

provide a wonderful opportunity 

to catch up with old school mates. 

Current year 12 tour guides enhance 

the reunion experience by conducting 

tours of the school at each reunion. 

Reunions were held for the classes of 

the 1930s, 1940s, 1960, 1965, 1970, 

1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000 

and 2005. 

To subsidise costs for younger 

alumni, SLOCA paid for the catering 

at the reunion for the class of 2005. 

Leonardian Players 

Shannon Jones (OC 2002) leads the 

acclaimed Leonardian Players, the 

theatre group of the Old Collegians 

Association, which has held 20 

productions since its inception 

in 1994. 

In an exciting first for the SLOCA 

Singers, the choir has been working 

on the production of a CD featuring 

choral and small group tracks, which 

was completed early in 2011. 

The Leonardian Players has its own 

website, www.leonardianplayers.com 

Keeping fit with SLOCA 

SLOCA and St Leonard’s College 

continued to offer life members of 

SLOCA access to the Hawkes Sports 

Centre swimming pool and tennis 

courts for an annual fee.

Guest speaker nights 

As part of the regular series of guest 

speaker nights, where interesting 

alumni return to speak about 

aspects of their lives, SLOCA hosted 

two wonderful evenings. 

The first evening was titled “Building 

the Australian Garden, The Royal 

Botanic Gardens Cranbourne” 

presented by Jill Burness (OC 1969). 

Jill Burness started out in the 

public service in Canberra in 

the environmental portfolio and 

developed a love for the Australian 

landscape. She retrained in the 

1980s as a Landscape Architect. 

She has worked at the Royal 

Botanic Gardens in Cranbourne for 

15 years and has been involved in 

the development of the amazing 

internationally recognised Australian 

Garden. She informed and inspired 

the audience with the journey 

taken by the team in designing and 

creating this incredible garden. 

The second evening was presented 

by Dr Mardie Whitla (OC 1960), 

Director, Ciao Bella Tours Pty Ltd, 

and titled, “Arm Chair Travel, A Taste 

of Italy.” Participants experienced a 

tour of a lifetime. 

Mardie started her professional 

life as a teacher, then worked as 

a psychologist for 20 plus years: 

after falling in love with Italy during 

decades of travelling, with the help 

of Italian friends, she established 

a company which takes small 

groups to various regions of Italy, 

twice a year. Mardie talked about 

travel highlights in the regions of 

Puglia, Sicily, Sardinia, Piemonte, 

as well as Tuscany and the Cinque 

Terre. Armchair travellers were 

transported to the delights of Italy, 

with a delightful verbal, visual and 

taste tour of the various regions. 

Cooking the Italian way 

Continuing the Italian theme, 

SLOCA ran a very enjoyable series 

of cooking classes conducted by 

Pauline Leonard, who is a specialist 

in cooking classes for corporate 

and private groups, food and wine 

tours locally and in Italy. Participants 

included alumni, school parents 

and staff. The classes were both 

fun and entertaining and introduced 

useful skills and techniques, 

using best seasonal produce and 

ingredients. Participants learned 

how to make delicious antipasti, 

handmade pasta such as roasted 

pumpkin ravioli with sage butter, 

classic Italian desserts such as 

Zuccotto and Cannoli, and enjoyed 

feasting on their creations. 

SLOCA’s support of 

the College 

Fitness centre 

In 2010 SLOCA sponsored $40,000 

for the new fitness centre in the 

Hawkes Sports Centre. This new 

equipment is currently available 

for staff and students to enhance 

their fitness. 

Current students career guidance 

Old Collegians from a variety of 

occupations annually share their 

experience with current students who 

are at the stage of choosing a career. 

This year SLOCA was proud to sponsor 

the Careers evening. 

Support of Parents’ Association 

A group of Old Collegians and current 

school families operated the wine 

stall, the Leonardian Bar, at the 

Community Day Fair.
