peech Night
German Tour2005 SpeechNightThe Annual Awards and SpeechNight, held at Chandler on 16November, was one of the mostmemorable in the history of theCollege.The highlight of the evening was ofcourse the recognition of theacademic, cultural and sportingachievements made during 2005 byour students in Years 4 to 12. Theenjoyment of the evening washeightened by the magnificentinstrumental and choral presentationsby students and staff of the MusicDepartment.It was also an emotional evening forparents and staff as they listened tothe very last Headmaster's Reportpresented by David Hosking, prior tohis retirement from the position ofHeadmaster, after serving elevenyears at Ormiston College.The second farewell was made byDon Boyd, who announced hisretirement as Chairman of the Boardof Directors. His devotion and serviceto Ormiston College was recognisedas outstanding, having served on theBoard since the foundation of theCollege in 1988.Our guest speaker was the Hon JeffKennett, AC, former Premier ofVictoria and current Chairman ofBeyondblue. His moving and stirringaddress was inspirational to the entireaudience.The College is of the opinion that thelanguages offered, Japanese and German,assist in broadening the students' globalconsciousness, through an awareness ofthe various aspects of differing cultures.Everything from the people, food, art,music, history and architecture are studiedin our LOTE program. Part of this processis enhanced by regular visits by ourstudents to our sister schools in Germanyand Japan, and those students’ reciprocalvisits to Ormiston College.In the last holidays, a number of ourstudents from Years 10, 11 and 12 visitedGymnasium zum Altenforst in Germany.They stayed with host families from oursister school and enjoyed visits to theModern History Museum and Beethoven'sbirthplace in Bonn. They visited Cologne,climbed 400 steps to the top of the famousCathedral spire, saw the Romanexcavations beneath the Town Hall andenjoyed many samples in the chocolatemuseum.They stayed in a Youth Hostel in Munich,did day trips to Neu Schwanstein Castle,to Salzburg to see Mozart's House and theDachau Concentration Camp. Theyenjoyed the Semper Opera in Dresden,visited Berlin, with day trips to Potsdam,Schloss Sans Soucci, the Reichstage(Parliament House), the PergamonMuseum, the Egyptian Museum andCheckpoint Charley. On the return tripthey stayed in a working monastery inParis just 300 metres from the Arc deTriumph.All in all, it was an exciting experience,giving our students a greaterunderstanding of another country'sculture.
