Where Are They Now <br />
Tracey Cameron and sons Timothy and Hugh Steven and Oliver Brown have had long associations with <strong>Hobart</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>. Tracey’s sons Timothy and Hugh have long since left the <strong>College</strong> and Oliver is currently in year 11.<br />
Tracey, however, began her year 11 studies at <strong>Hobart</strong> Matriculation <strong>College</strong> in 1977 and completed year 12 in<br />
1978. She then went on to the University of Tasmania completing a Bachelor of Education in 1983.<br />
Tracey’s first two teaching years were at the Friend’s School and in 1986 she started part time at The <strong>Hobart</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> teaching History. During that year her first son Timothy was born and in 1988 son Hugh followed.<br />
Tracey began full time teaching at <strong>Hobart</strong> <strong>College</strong> in 1991 after her husband, John Steven, died tragically in a<br />
diving accident. She taught a range of subjects including Child Studies, Social Psychology and both Australian and<br />
Twentieth Century World History.<br />
At the beginning of 1997 Tracey was transferred to Taroona High School where she stayed until 2000. Gaining<br />
promotion, Tracey then moved to Sorell District High School teaching at both the High School and the Primary<br />
campuses. In 2005 Tracey led the English and SOSE Departments at Rose Bay High School and in 2011 moved<br />
to Geeveston District High School as the Acting Assistant Principal. At the beginning of this year Tracey started<br />
at Dover District High School as the Acting Principal and has since been promoted to the substantive Principal<br />
position.<br />
Tracey’s sons, Timothy and Hugh, were in the initial intake of children at the <strong>Hobart</strong> <strong>College</strong> crèche when she<br />
resumed full time teaching in 1991.<br />
Hugh went to Mt Nelson Primary school moving onto Taroona High School and studied years 11 and 12 at<br />
<strong>Hobart</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Andrew Evans, teacher of Athlete Extended, remembers Hugh as being passionate about his<br />
sport and vividly recalls him coming to him each lesson excitedly saying “Can we play games Taff !!”<br />
On leaving <strong>Hobart</strong> <strong>College</strong> Hugh completed a Bachelor of Social Science (Police Studies) at UTAS in 2009.<br />
Following a GAP year in 2010, Hugh then went to the Royal Military <strong>College</strong> – Duntroon and this year graduated<br />
in June, from the officer Training unit, as a Lieutenant in the Royal Australian Army. He has now taken up his<br />
first posting in the Signals Corp in Townsville.<br />
