Headmaster's Report

Headmaster's 

Report 

The law did not give the Did 

assembly power to heal national 

divisions, the Spirit gives this 

power to the new ch urch. 

Newsletter 

Dear Parents, 

NO.1 

Pentecost was in our minds very recently. In a number of our parishes 

young Christians have just been confirmed. They have been instructed, as 

we their elders have previously been instructed, about the various fruits 

and gifts of the Holy Spirit. 

Has it ever seemed to you that the Holy Spirit is a difficult concept to 

grasp? We can imagine both God the Father and God the Son, but with the 

Spirit, perhaps we can identify with the polite Japanese convert who 

stated - "Yes,l accept lhe Father, and I can understand lhe Son - it is the 

Honourable Bird that I cannot grasp". 

If you have considered the Holy Spirit hard to grasp as a principle in 

your life, perhaps it is because you have been: 

(a) Looking in the wrong places? 

Is your main concept of the HDly Spirit lhe historical event- men 

rushing out Dfa hDuse in Jerusalem talking in many languages?; tongues 

Df fire?; magical gifts?; wDnderful happenings? - perhaps a regretting of 

the fact that these special powers so evident in the early church seem 

withheld from us Christians tDday? 

Well, dear parenls, we should 

nDt be looking tDthe sensatiDnal 

aspects Dfthe early church. Whal 

we must realise is that the truth 

which the Bible teaches us is the 

truth God wanted put there for the 

sake of our salvation. We must 

look beyond the hislorical to the 

"truth" . 

Yes there was the sound of a 

"mighty wind", bullhis is Luke 

emphasising to us that here is an 

event with a ranking of the same 

significance as the giving of the 

ten commandments to Moses 

(with much thunder and noise]. 

The ten commandments were 

given about fifty days after the 

Exodus. And on that day the old 

covenant was sealed between 

Yahweh and his people and thus 

there carne into being an 

"assembly in the wilderness" Acts 

7:38. The word used here by Luke 

and which we translate as 

assembly is "ekklesia" -the same 

term is used consistently 

throughout the New Testament 

and is translated 'as the (new) 

Church. 

It is most significant to nDte that 

in going back to his Gospel 

(Ch.9:31) we find that Luke in 

describing the transfiguration 

speaks DfJesus talking tDMoses 

and Elijah concerning his 

approaching "Exodus" - (we 

translale lhis as passion and 

death), I.e. the action hy which 

Jesus liberaled His chosen people. 

And lhus Luke is saying to us that 

fifty days after His Exodus Christ 

sent the Holy Spirit to the apostles 

as he had promised and the "new 

covenanl" was inaugurated. A 

new assembly/church came into 

existence. The gift of the spirit 

replaces the law. 

The truth of the Holy Spirit is 

Babel in reverse. The Holy Spirit 

wills to unite all peoples. We 

know that Christianity can ride 

smoothly over race, national 

differences and our own petty 

family squabbles. The tongues 

seen on Pentecost Day where "all 

the nations were gathered" is a 

sublle reminder to us of the peace 

and unifying power which is 

available to us. The truth we are 

being taught is that through the 

Holy Spirit the ancient divisions 

of people can now be overcome. 

"And GDd soid, come let us go 

down and confuse their 

tongues" 

Gen. 16V.7 

The old "assembly" (ekklesia) 

had "the law" which was meant 

for one exclusive race of people. 

The new "church" (ekklesia) has 

the "HDly Spirit" which is meant 

fDr all the nalions on the earth. 

"The whDle group of believers 

was united, heart ond soul. ... " 

Acts Ch.4 V.32 

By and through the HDly Spirit a 

healing power is available to us tD 

Dvercome divisDn between peDple 

or peDples - divisions which 

exist because Dfsinful pride. 

Here is the truth behind the 

history -lhe spirit gives every 

confirmed persDn a healing 

sanctifying power; it is an 

enormous pDtential but Dnly a 

potential until "activated". 

(b) Endeavouring to reason oul 

this "HDnDurable Bird"? 

As Christians we know that 

there is mystery in Dur belief, 

mystery which will never be fully 

fathomed here on earth. And we 

also know that what truth we dD 

know, must be sought by the heart 

as well as the head. 

"'t should not surprise us when 

men of acute and powerful 

understandings mDre Dr less reject 

the Gospel, for this reason, that lhe 

Christian revelation addresses 

itself tDDur hearts, tDour love of 

truth and goodness, Dur fear Df 

sinning and Dur desire to gain 

God's favour; and quickness, 

sagacity, depth Dfthought, 

strength of mind, pDwer Df 

comprehension, perception of the 

beautiful, though they are 

excellent gifts are clearly quite of a 

different kind frDm these spiritual 

excellencies - a man may have 

one without having the other. 

This, then, is the plain reason why 

learned men are so often defective 

Christians, because there is nD 

necessary connection between 

faith and ability; because ability Df 

mind is a gift, and faith is a grace". 

Cardinal Newman 

Thus, truth, dear parents is not 

found by mere intellectual ability 

or learned study. It must be sought 

by the whole man. The apDstle, 

Paul, speaks ofthDse who are blind 

to the Gospel and he speaks Df 

them nDt as the uneducated and 

dull of understanding, but as the 

wise men,lhe scribes and debaters 

of the age. Our Lord says the same 

when he thanks his Father for 

hiding these things from the wise 

4

and prudent. and revealing them 

to little ones. 

What Jesus Christ and St. Paul 

are not proposing is that you are 

better off if you have a low I.Q. 

They arc saying that moral 

attitudes and a moral struggle are 

important if we are, as individuals, 

to attain and possess the Gospel 

truth in its purity. Yours and mine 

are not passive receptions. Our 

intellect is important but more so 

our moral struggle, our effort after 

holiness, because holiness is a 

necessary condition for future 

blessedness. It is a grace. 

(i) A form III boy to me: "I have 

asked for the grace to 

remember to pray and [ have 

not got it yet". 

Comment: The lad has no formal 

time for prayer -If he had a 

regular prayer life, this extra 

prayer grace would be given to 

him by Jesus very quickly. 

(ii) From the ioterview with 

Motber Teresa. 

Interviewer: Mother Teresa, many 

people think it is madness 10 hring 

all these children into this world, 

particularly here in India, where 

they have every chance of starving 

to death. 

Molher Teresa: People say this 

because they do not love. 

Commenl: The comment of the 

many may be logical, but it is not 

graceful, it neglects Ihe spiritual 

possibilities in God's saving 

presence. 

The point for us all 10 grasp and 

what these two examples 

highlight is that in our spiritual 

life "insight" is the key. nollogic. [ 

cannot reason out the Holy Spirit. 

The right question to ask is not- 

Do [ really have the gifts of the 

Holy Spirit in me? The right 

question to ask is - Are the fruits 

of the Holy Spiril (i.e. love, joy, 

peace, patience, gentleness, 

recollectedness] becoming more 

effective in me? 

Yes, we can grow in these 

virtues and we can all see 

ourselves actually improving (or 

not improving) because we all 

have Ihe power to do this - the 

Holy Spirit dwelling in us is thai 

power. 

So dear parents, under this 

section of my message to you on 

Ihe Holy Spirit [am saying that it is 

the use of Ihe power given 10 me 

and you by the presence of the 

Holy Spirit within us that can give 

us that energetic thrust forward. a 

thrust forward which is of concern 

to our leader Jesus Christ. 

"I have come Ihat they may 

have life - and have it to the 

fulI" - jn.1O V.W 

"Every branch thot bems fruil 

he prunes to make it beor even 

more"- 

jn.15V.2 

For Jesus knows that he has 

chosen us to spread his message 

and non-believers see lesus when 

they us, or they don't see Him, 

when they see us. No wonder he 

wants a maximum development of 

our spiritual potential. The 

measure of His success is the 

extent of our personal holiness. 

Now the real truth follows upoo 

this question: 

What activates the lalent power 

of goodness, Le. the Holy Spiril. in 

me? 

Answer: 

Ii) Prayer- not just a few 

mumhled formulas here or there 

amidst our daily loil- but 

regular, formal periods, sel aside 

for Prayer and Prayer alone. 

(ii) Good Deeds -start wilh your 

own familv first. And starl on the 

bottom rung. Whether you are a 

parent or a child you have one 

thing in common - you can give 

up your time to bea servant to your 

brethren. Jesus gave you the 

example to do it at the Last Supper. 

an d he gave you the power to do it 

at your Confirmation. 

"Come Holy Spirit- Fill the 

hearts of your foithful 

And enkindle in them the fire of 

your love 

Send forth your spirit ond Ive 

sholl be re-creoled 

And thus yoo sllllil renew the 

foce of the eorth. 

(Proyer from the ,'vloss of 

Penlecost Sunday)

FEES: Parents, your term fees will 

go up $10.00 as from Term II. I 

would remind you that, starting 

from January 1981, there was a 

change in school policy. Teachers' 

salaries are no longer calculated 

and fixed in January, but can go up 

at any time as a result of a Wages 

Board hearing. Accordingly our 

fees will need to move at the same 

time. 

Under 12 - The captain was Sam 

Hewett, the trophy winner, Terry 

Keays. Other gODdplayers were

SPORT: 

Cricket 

1st XI - After being premiers for 

the past two years, Parade finished 

7th in 1982. This was mainly due 

to the team having fDur 

washed-out games, although it 

must be noted that the team had 

only two players with previous 1st 

XI experience. The captain was 

Gerard Dowling, who also won the 

balting trophy, whilst David 

Jackson won a trophy as the besl 

all-rounder. 

Junior XI - The captain was Paul 

Hewelt. Darren Jones WDnthe 

balting trophy and David Smith

year tD fifth, due again to 

wash-outs plus the fact that the 

team was not as good as the 

previous year's group. 

Under 14 - The captain was Paul 

Burgess, who was judged best 

bowler. Paul Stephens was the 

best bat and Damien Keating best 

all-rounder. Other good 

performers were N. Murphy, P. 

Carter, M. Power. P. Shannon and 

T. Beare. The team lost only Dne 

match and were premiers. 

CongratulatiDns Under 14's. 

Under 13A - Captain was 

Stephen Philp. The trophy winner 

was Stewart Wood. The coach 

reports that the team was

CAREERS GUIDANCE: As part of 

our Careers Guidance Service for 

the students, we are planning a 

pool of advisors drawn from Old 

Paradians. parents and other 

friends of the College. 

Also, we are hoping to increase 

the number and range of work 

experience activities for the 

students. 

We expect our careers guidance 

service would thus consist of a 

large pool of people from a great

variety of occupations. Obviously 

a person established in a particular 

occupation has a great deal of 

advice and information to offer a 

student faced with the problems 

involved in choosing and 

following a career. 

The plan would work as follows: 

A student seeking advice and/or 

information on the practical 

aspect of the career which you 

have chosen would ask for an 

interview with you. This would be 

arranged through the College at a 

time and place convenient to you. 

Your task would be to chat with 

the boy, answer his questions, give 

him a picture of your work field 

with its advantages and 

disadvantages, and so on. If it is 

possible for him to also have 

practical experience in your work 

field so much the belter, as this can 

be arranged through our work 

experience program. 

You can well imagine the 

confidence engendered in a boy 

who "knew someone" in the field 

and had seen first-hand what goes 

on. He may wish to keep in touch 

with you during his student or 

early work days. 

The demands on your time 

would not be heavy. Indeed, we 

wish to establish a pool so large 

that calls on our advisors would be 

few. This situation would be 

watched closely. 

We would be most grateful if 

you would become a member of 

the pool, and we hereby invite you 

to do so. Should you be able and 

willing to join, would you kindly 

complete the form altached at your 

earliest convenience and return it 

to Mr. Chris Dawson, Parade 

College, Plenty Road, Bundoora, 

3083. 

STAFF SEMINAR: Please note 

that there is a special inservice for 

the staff of the two schools- 

Th ursday 22nd and Friday 23rd of 

July. There will be NO SCHOOL 

on these two days. 

mmVARD BOUND CAMP: In 

late February our Year 11 boys 

journeyed to the Snowy 

Mountains where they and seven 

staff - in conjunction with 

members of the Outward Bound 

Organisation - undertook a 

1D-day camp. Three of these days 

were to be rafting down the 

Snowv. As the river was at its 

lowest ebb in memory, the boys 

spent three very exhausting days 

on this facet of their adventure. 

The following debriefing 

activity may be of interest to you.

NO.2 

On hearing that the captain of 

our Premiership Under 16 team 

was punched in the face when he 

went to shake hands with the 

captain of the losing team. 

This reflection is meant to open 

the eyes of your soul to an area of 

Grace which is virtually IInlapped, 

and vet is, and always has been, 

availahle to all who ask. 

I think I can understand the 

fruslration of that young, defeated, 

captain, I know his reaction will 

not be an isolaled one between 

now and the end of Seplember. 

All this terrible blood-letting is 

done in the biting anguish of 

defeat. Weall know that defeatis a 

definite possibility, if we compete . 

nut we never learn. \Va are over 

oplimistic- we assume that 

because we want 10 win we will. 

Thus we get so het-up with the 

prospect of victory that we can't 

take it when we are beaten. 

Therefore, for many defeat is ugly, 

it leaves a biller taste. The 

resultant indigestion makes liS 

react against this person as too old, 

that one as too staid, or somebody 

else because he's been around Ihe 

place too long. Winning is 

certainly exhilarating, but 00 one 

is invincible. llhink a parable 

about an unbeatable footbalileam 

would be very real to all of us. 

Sport. however, is not the only 

area to look for bad losers. Like the 

sporting fralernity examples, 

which abound, non-sport losers 

assume that the unpredictable 

things in life will never touch their 

familv, let alone themselves. Thus, 

there'are many people whose lives 

are embitlered by sundry set-backs 

-a personal injury, rejection by a 

sibling, an exam failure, loss of 

employment. betrayal by friends, 

damage or loss of personal 

property. 

Even those of liS who can claim 

that we are not bitter, nevertheless, 

do have memories that arc 

sometimes not very pleasant. 

Well parents, my reflection for 

you is in the arena of your own 

memories; memories that are 

unpleasant, memories that come 

from your losses alld set-backs. 

Christ said that you and I must 

forgive others for the wrongs we 

have suffered at their hands. Last 

term, dear parents, I tried to help a 

bov in a senior class at scbool. He 

was being called all sorts of names 

by a few tormentors. They had cut 

this boy to the bone witb their 

wicked tongues. The last straw 

was a recital of the boyish secrets 

he had told a person he thought he 

could Irust, to a whole group. 

Headmaster: "Now ... you have to 

be able, as a Christian, to forgive 

those boys." "Brother it's hard to 

do because every time I tbink of 

what they have done to me, my 

blood boils!" - Parents, I gave the 

lad a few consoling words and we 

said a few lillIe prayers together, of 

forgiveness. for his enemies. 

Dear parents, when I think back 

on this I am ashamed as to how 

incomplete was my spiritual 

advice, to that bov. He was so 

right. How could he calmly forgive 

those people. The memory of the 

injustice, and indignity, and 

embarrassment, he had suffered, 

enraged him! 

This is where it's really great 10 

be a follower of lesus, he has the 

answer to everything. I can tell the 

senior boys that, if they are able to 

come up wi th a more corn plele and 

fulfilling way of life Ihan that of a 

Christian -I'd like hear more 

about it! 

Well here is the answer to Ibe 

problems of bad losers and to the 

problems which come from our 

o\\'n memories of unpleasant 

happenings. Losses and memories 

which shrivel our spirit, and sour 

our personality, sometimes to tbe 

extent that \ve even radiate 

sourness to others, in our very 

expression. 

All of us have deep wounds of 

one sarI or another. They make 

bruises on our soul. Here arc some 

examples of incidents, that have 

been related to me, of Ihe type Ihat 

cause bruising of our soul. 

(il 

"When my mother died I went 

round to the house the next 

day to do a bit of cleaning up 

- my sister had been there 

earlier that day and taken all 

the linen." 

(ii) "1 gave my teenage son advice 

- he took no notice - six 

months later he is following 

the verv advice I had 

originally recommended 

because it was told to him by a 

boy he met al a skating rink." 

Dear parents, I don't have to go 

on: for every example I detail, you 

could give another, from your own 

life. 

What I am telling you now is no 

light matter-It is a matter for 

your happiness. Christ did say you 

were to be happy here on earth and 

"HE MEANT IT!" God has called 

us to joy and fulfilment, not to 

dessiccation. 

"1 have not come to destroy, but 

to fulfill." 

But for many the light of the 

risen Christ has been obscured, 

their faith is logical but joyless. 

Perhaps uven you, dear parents, 

feel, "Yes, I know I am in the 

'Church of God', but where is that 

freedom and joy which I am told is 

my right as a baptised Christian?" 

Well there is mystery here, one 

that only Christ can satisfy. The 

mystery of fulfilment. It is really 

agonising, dear parents, to see 

Christians, among them priests 

and religious - searching for 

fulfilment, Christ is thaI fulfilment 

for which we long, in the depth of 

our being. 

The more we can be like lIim the 

more we are fulfilled, and the aim 

of this writing is to show you one 

of bitterness - which we can 

conquer, through grace, and thus 

become one with Christ in His love 

for everyone, and so become more 

like Him, I.e. 

ha ppy/ fulfi lled/ joyful. 

We can become happy, 

forgi ving Christians, through the 

power ofChrisl's healing gracea 

special grace that heals all those 

bruises of the past that bave 

wounded our psyche. These 

wounds inflicted by others, 

together with our sins, are like so 

many black and blue marks- they 

are too sensitive to touch and yel 

they impede our movement 

towards Christ, where true joy is. 

We are all pretty good on the 

individual sin area. We know, 

having sinned, whal to do. It is Ihe 

area of wounds caused by others, 

and how to deal with them, that 

many of us need instruction. 

Our Lord wants to heal these 

wounds dear parents, either by 

taking them away completely, or 

by taking away our fear of them 

and enabling us to live in simple 

acceptance of our weaknesses and 

limitation. No matter what the 

8

source of these wounds, they can 

be stepping stones to our union 

with Jesus, whose wounds shine 

gloriously in heaven. 

Parents, I hope you are on to 

what I am saying. I am saying that 

we must be aware that there is, in 

many of us, obstacles other than 

our personal sins that prevent us 

being at ease with Jesus. I am 

calling these obstacles "inner 

wounds". I am saying to you that 

these are a significant couse of our 

not having that peace and joy that 

is our right as Christians. I am 

saying that these wounds can be 

healed. 

What must be done? There are 

three things to be done: 

(i) inner prayer, 

(ii) a sharing, to some degree, with 

another, 

(iii) the Eucharist used as the 

source of the truth that sets us 

free. 

• Important note- The grace of 

an inner healing is not a "one off" 

Grace. I need to go after this grace 

over a series of days, perhaps a 

small penance will help. 

Remember a physical bruise takes 

time to heal, so too, does a spiritual 

bruise. 

(i) Inner prayer- When we are 

alone at prayer, we should 

quite simply and directly ask 

our Lord to heal our memories. 

This may be a very general 

prayer and may remain so for 

some days. 

It could go like this. "Lord Jesus, 

I thank you for the love and mercy 

you have shown me all my life. I 

thank you for the many kindnesses 

you have directed my way. You 

see me and you know me. You 

know that I have wounds deep 

within my soul. Some of these 

hurts I do not really know of 

myself, but you know them. Dear 

Lord, heal me of these wounds, let 

your power and beauty shine in 

me. I renounce all allachments to 

my resentments. I forgive anyone 

who has ever hurt me and I pray for 

them. I join myself to your 

forgiveness of others, in which 

you died. I wish to love all those 

people who are in my life. I 

embrace them with the same love 

and tenderness you have for them. 

I hold all tbese people up to you a 

Lord, that you may bless them and 

be kind to tbem. - Amen" 

It may happen that during this 

prayer certain people or incidents 

arise in our memory and \ve 

re-experience all tbe hurt and 

anger we first knew when the 

event occurred. When someone 

comes to mind (NOTE: an 

abstraction such as "the system"; 

my "education"; "society", afe 

usually evasive symbols covering 

a person we do not wish to think 

about), we should stop our prayer 

and gently take this person into 

our heart. A suitable prayer at this 

time is "Lord have mercy". Thus 

we admit our own need for mercy 

and pray for the other person, with 

the same desire for their 

well-being, as we have for our 

own. The Lord always hears this 

prayer. 

(ii) A sharing to some degree with 

another. Sometimes, if we 

need deeper healing, our 

private inner prayer leads us to 

see that we should share our 

burden with another person, 

in whom we have confidence 

- sharing only to that degree 

of explicitness which is 

necessary, so this sharing is 

always general and 

non-threatening - asking for 

their prayers or actually 

praying with them. This is the 

injunction of St. Paul (Ga. 

Ch.5;V.13 and Ch.6:V.2) to 

"serve one another in love," 

and "to carry one another's 

burdens." 

While it is always possible to 

share our burden with a friend 

there are times when we should go 

to someone whom the Lord seems 

to have endowed in a particular 

way. An individual priest, 

through confession. could readily 

come to mind as such a person, or 

it could be somebody, not a priest. 

(iii)The Eucharist: The celebration 

of tbe Eucharist is- 

"the soorce and summit of the 

whole work of preaching the 

Gospel". 

Vatican II. 

Dear parents, we are talking 

about your happiness, your joy, 

which only comes when your soul 

is at peace with God, when your 

wounds are healed and you can 

live witb them. What part has the 

Eucharist to play in tbis? Well, 

Jesus expresses His love for us in a 

human way and so He doesn't 

9 

expect us to be more spiritual than 

Himself. The authenticity of our 

mutallove of God and of all men, 

must be given a rea! human 

expression. It is the Eucharistthe 

sacrament of love. In this 

atmosphere we confess our sins, 

we praise God, and pray for all 

men. The words of scripture 

enlighten, encourage and heal. 

And finally we receive the Body of 

Christ. Men may pray over us for 

the coming of the Spirit, but at the 

Eucharist Jesus enters into our 

own body and He is the source of 

this very spirit. This is the moment 

when our memories, our wounds 

of the past, blend with the passion 

of Jesus, and we forgive, as He 

does. 

Finally, I would like you, dear 

parents, to remember that 

unhealthy concentration on our 

past sins "brings sadness and 

banishes hope." This is also true of 

undue pre-occupation with our 

weaknesses and inner wounds . 

Thus it is very important that in 

our inner prayer we do not waste 

our time in some sort of amateur 

self psychoanalysis. Any urge we 

have to "search and destroy"- 

does not corne from God. 

As a mailer of fact, to spend time 

in anxious worry and endless 

self-investigation is to act as 

though our Lord did not really 

appreciate how weak we are. The 

Lord heals us by working in us a 

greater consciousness of our 

wounds, and a deeper capacity to 

trust Him, and love and forgive 

others: our role is to agree to the 

action of God, as He answers our 

prayer. His healing will be an 

inner touch and comes also as an 

exterior of discernment, 

encouragement or revelation, of 

what lies in our heart. 

Here is a thought for you! Sacred 

Scripture - for those who want it 

to be, is -the "living" word of 

God, i.e. it is God speaking to you 

as you read. 

A Reading from St. Paul: 

"You are God's chosen race, Ilis 

saints; He loves you, and you 

should be clothed in sincere 

compassion, in kindness and 

humility, gentleness and 

patience. Bearwith one another; 

forgive each other as soon as a 

quarrel begins. The Lord has 

forgiven you; now you must do

the same. Over all these clothes, 

to keep them together and 

complete them, put on love. 

And may the peace of Christ 

reign in your hearts, because it 

is for this that you were called 

together as parts of one body. 

Always be thankful and let the 

message of Christ, in all its 

richness, find a home with you." 

Col. Ch.3:V.12-15. 

IN MEMORIAM 

Brother William Gabriel ManagJe 

It is a sad task to report the death 

of one of the Parade Community of 

Brothers. Towards the end of Term 

II Brother contracted the flu, 

quickly followed by a bout of 

shingles. During his bout of flu he 

taught in school each day and 

went to bed straight after his last 

period each afternoon. But the 

shingles was a little more serious 

and he was sent to hospital by Dr. 

Sist, as it was obvious that Brother 

intended to treat this amiction in 

the same manner as he had dealt 

with his flu, i.e. ignore it. 

He was in hospital a few days 

and progressing nicely, when he 

was called to his maker, very 

suddenly, with a surprise heart 

attack. 

Brother will be greatly missed 

by we Brothers. He was a 

dedicated man, ever faithful to his 

obligations as a religious. He was 

not noted for idle chit-chat, and 

very straight if he thought this 

necessary, but also a great 

story-teller, on festive occasions, 

with his reminiscing coming from 

two rich sources. He was one of 

eleven children of Australian/ 

Irish parentage and he spent a 

number of years in small 

Queensland schools, where the 

Brothers lived very much on the 

charity of the people who had little 

themselves. 

He will be missed from the 

school. He is an old boy of Parade 

and one of those rare breed of 

teachers who could teach very 

successfully any H.S.C. subject. 

He taught Maths. at Parade 

because he took the place of a 

Maths. teacher - Br. Moloney. At 

other schools he taught 

Humanities or Sciences, 

depending on whom he replaced. 

He did an enormous amount of 

work on the grounds, and he did it 

primarily to save us money. On the 

night before he died I went to visit 

him. The conversation got round 

to the change sheds on the Garvey 

Oval, and the fact that the Old 

Boys would move to that oval in 

1983. I told him that we would top 

dress the oval. The soil would cost 

about $3,000 and the machine to 

do the spreading about the same. 

He thought for a while and said, 

"Get them to leave the soil near the 

bottom goals - I will spread it by 

hand." 

It always amazed me as to how 

he could work flat out on the 

grounds and when he would 

appear, briefly, at morning or 

afternoon tea on a Saturday he 

could relate how each team was 

going, who was playing well, 

mistakes made by cricket captains 

failing to change bowlers or by 

football coaches with field 

placements, and many other 

details of what was going on 

around him. 

There are others whom I should 

remember at this time. There are 

the fathers of Simon Floyd, Room 

13, and David Partridge, Room 14, 

who died recently, and Michael 

Thomas, the brother of Andrew, 

H.S.C., who was killed as the 

result of a hit-and-ran accident. 

May these and the souls of all the 

faithful departed rest in peace. 

1981 H.S.C. RESVLTS:These 

were excellent, the most 

successful for some years. I did not 

record them in the first term 

newsletter, because I have been 

wanting for some time to put less 

emphasis on the percentage pass, 

which I feel does not tell the whole 

story. With such good results I 

now have the opportunity to do 

this.

STAFF INSERVICE: The twa-day 

seminar undertaken hy the staff 

was facilitated by the Curriculum 

Branch of the Catholic Education 

Office. Two of their members, 

Brother B. Wood and Mr. Michael 

Doyle, conducted the morning 

sessions on both days. 

The Seminar started with a Mass 

celebrated by the senior chaplain 

of the school, Father Briglia. 

Parents, you may be interested in 

the findings of the first session of 

the conference? The staff broke 

into small groups - 

1. Listed all the things they 

thought the school did well. 

2. Listed areas where they 

thought the school could 

improve. 

These were then collated at a 

plenary session. 

Here are those lists as they were 

compiled on that day. 

The list is in no particular order, 

but comes out as reported from 

each group. The asterisk notes 

when the same item was

SPORT 

1st XVIII Football- Parade 

finished mid-field in the A.e.C. 

competition and were defeated in 

the Grand Final of the 

Collingwood Zone of the Herald 

Shield. This wasafineeffort when 

we consider that only one player 

from the previous year was 

available in 1982. 

Ably led by Captain Warren 

Richards and Vice-Captain Jamie 

Geary, the team produced some 

excellent football. The most 

notable victories were against St. 

Bede's Mentone (the runner-up in 

the Herald Shield) and De La Salle 

Malvern. 

While the 1982 team did not 

achieve the success of the 1980 

and 1981 teams, it should be noted 

that the sportsmanship shown by 

our representatives was at all 

times of an extremely high 

standard, and this year's 1st XVIII 

are to be congratulated upon this 

aspect of their year. 

Prospects for 1983 appear to be 

good with at least 16 of our present 

Year 11 students having 1st XVIII 

experience this year. 

Best &- Fairest Winner: Jamie Geary 

2nd Best &- Fairest: Martin 

Heffernan 

Father Daly Most Valuable Player 

Award: Gerard Dowling 

Old Paradians Trophy: Warren 

Richards 

Leading Goalkicker: Kevin 

Collum. 

2nd XVIII Football- Parade 2nd 

XVIII had some fine wins in season 

1982. It was a pleasing season in 

the sense that many of the 

younger, less experienced players 

matured as footballers, 

continually keeping the pressure 

on our 1st XVIII players.

1\lark Elder was one soch player 

who consistently performed all 

vear for the team. His efforts were 

rewarded with winning the 2nd 

XVIIl Best and Fairest. Michael 

Vear was runner-up in the Best 

and Fairest. while Vincent Long 

gave us great leadership as 

Captain. 

Junior XVIII - With a very poor 

start to the season, things looked 

black as premiership prospects 

faded away. [n the last half of the 

season the team functioned 

smoothly and defeated all the top 

teams, including eventual 

premiers. St. Bede's. Paul Hewett 

was Best and Fairest. with Cletus 

Blake runner-up and Patrick Roe 

3rd Best. 

Under 14 Foolball- The 

competition was close and very 

competitive right to the last round. 

Parade's best victory was over 

Preston in the second last round. 

Nevertheless. Preston proved to be 

too strong in the Grand Final. 

Although beaten, the Parade team 

was not disgraced. 

David Partridge won the Best 

and Fairest award, while Daniel 

Bona was the Most Determined. 

Other players who performed well 

were Brendan Dozzi, Paul 

Burgess, Tim Beare, Anthony 

Barro and Peter Nailer. 

The team received tremendous 

support from many of the parents, 

who were always enthusiastic and 

co-operative. 

The Under 13A team missed the 

finals on percentage. The Captain 

was Stephen Philp and he also 

won the Best and Fairest award. 

The Vice-Captain was Paul Zappa, 

Runner-up in the Best and Fairest, 

while 3rd Best was Gavin 

Rodrigues. Thirty-six boys played 

during the season and twenty-one 

of these obtained votes. The most 

improved player award was 

shared by Nicholas Mills, 

Matthew Martin and Glenn 

Richards. 

Under 13H - A small team which 

showed great spirit, winning five 

of their nine games during the 

season. The Captain was Mark 

Gibbons and Vice-Captain was 

Laurie Di Palma. Tim Flynn won 

the Best and Fairest award, other 

good players \Verer Laurie Di 

Palma, Mark Gibbons, Daniel 

Canil, Glenn lloyd, Anthony 

Gleeson and Tony Baaini. 

Under 12 - A very successful 

season, the team winning their 

grand final by ten goals. The 

Captain was Phillip Herridge and 

the Vice-Captain was Tim Livy. 

Best Players: Terry Keays. Mark 

Kelly, Phillip Herridge and 

Matthew Williams. 

Soccer lsI XI- The coach and 

plavers approached the season 

with very high hopes. 

Unfortunately, injuries just before 

the start of the season resulted in 

the loss of two crucial games, the 

two teams concerned going 

through as the eventual 

competition \vinners. 

The hest player went to Captain, 

Ivan Stocco, whilst the runner-up 

was Silvio Santostefano, with 

most determined award going to 

Mario Gattino. 

2nd XI- The team had a good 

vear and won most of their 

matches. Ross Dilizio was best 

player with Mark Punda 

runner-up_ 

Junior Soccer- [f one used the 

criteria of success as winning or 

losing games, then you would 

have to say it was a disappointing 

year. However, Parade had a very 

enthusiastic and hard-trying 

group of players who all gained 

great benefit from the schunl spirit 

and mateship, the season was a 

successfulune for Parade. Best 

players - Joseph Kolenda and 

Daniel Batchelor. 

Under 14 Soccer- This was a 

Saturday morning side and won 

the school its first ever Soccer 

premiership. Congratulations to 

the team and to coach, Mr. 

Hughes. They were a classy 

combination. Daniel Martinis was 

adjudged best player in a close 

vote with Greg Seymon who was 

runner-up. Other good players 

were Gerard McAleer, Michael 

O'Keefe, Nick Puccio and Don 

Almonte. 

Cross-Country - After four years 

of being second to St. Bede's 

Mentone, Parade finally 

triumphed and won the A.c.e. 

championship. It was a great day, 

made greater by the fact that our 

victory came gradually. Some 

weeks before, the cuach had 

realised we would do well- the 

cu-operation of the runners at 

12 

training was exceptiooal. Training 

came in three varieties - fast 

work, long work on hill climbsafter 

the initial groans 

(particularly on hill work) all 

settled down and ran, always hard 

-a terrific sign. However, the day 

before the championship we lost 

four of our top runners, flu being 

the main enemy. The coach 

thought we were finished. 

La and behold, halfway through 

the program we were streets 

ahead. The junior boys had turned 

it on. Our UI15's- the best team 

in Victoria and possibly Australia 

- put up a star performance. 

seven of our ten runners getting 

into the first 15 places in the field 

of90. A fantastic effort, Our W14 

were not far behind the super 

WIS. A mighty effort, as the 

amount of training of our young 

fry was kept to an absolute 

minimum. The senior teams did 

not let us down, and we ran out 

comfortable winners. The day was 

capped off by a fine win in the 

senior event by our (earn captain, 

Shaun McCormack. 

Congratulations to Shaun and all 

his team, particularly to those 

senior boys whose main sports 

were soccer or football and were 

willing to help with the team 

when asked.

POTPOURRI 

(i) New Headmaster 

The incoming Headmaster 

has been announced. He is 

Brother L. Collins, who is 

currentlv stationed at St. 

Leo's Box Hill. Br. Collins 

was on the staff at Bundoora 

for a couple of years in the 

sixties. Brother will take up 

his post in January 1983. I 

think that the school is 

fortunate in getting him, he is 

a good man for the joh. 

(ii) Squash Courts 

At last these have been 

completed. The plastering of 

the walls and the laying of 

the special floor have been 

done by contractors at a cost 

(round figures) of$12,000. 

This cost has just about taken 

the "kitty" from the Fathers' 

Association. 

The foyer area in front of the 

courts is yet to be 

constructed. With the money 

raised from this term's 

special effort, the fathers 

hope to do the brick work for 

this. 

(iii) Disruption of Classes 

Year 10 boys have had a 

rather trying term. There was 

illness in the staff and two 

changes, and staff taking 

long service leave. This 

meant changes in time tables, 

switching of staff from one 

class to another. All most 

unsettling. The rather severe 

winter flu added fuel to the 

situation. At one stage two of 

the classes were down to half 

strength. We were saved by 

the mid.term break. This 

gave us all, staff and 

students, a breathing space. 

(iv) Working Bee 

The second term Working 

Bee was postponed because 

of rain. However, the 

eventual day itself was a 

great success. I would like to 

thank Peter McCormack and 

his hard-working Building 

and Maintenance 

[v) 

Committee, M. McKelson, N. 

Ireland, B. Bartlett. D. 

Phillips, G. Smith, J. 

Gonzales, J. Griffiths, V. 

Murphy, J. Wolczko, W. 

Smith, A. Anderson, B. 

Pomeroy and P. Almonte for 

their dedication and their 

time, and all others too, of 

course. 

There was one problem: On 

the second Sunday the 

General Activities 

Committee had expected 

about 90 at their Barbecue 

and about 150 fathers turned 

up. So we ran out of food and 

drink. Apologies here. 

Apparently, some fathers 

came to the washed-out 

Working Bee and did not 

bother to fill out forms for the 

new ~Vorking Bee. There was 

a bit of confusion all round. 

Horse Riding Program 

The program has generated 

considerable interest in 

1982. We now have two 

teachers operating on four 

afternoons a week and it will 

be possible to allow all 

students showing interest 

from Years 7-10 to complete 

the Novice Riding Program. 

With so many students in the 

College having reached the 

basic standard, we have 

introduced two further 

options: Advanced riding 

which includes Jumping and 

Novelty work and Western 

Riding which includes the 

training of the horse. 

Late last year we joined the 

Harness Horse Society of 

Victoria and three of our 

students, Brendan Beck, Paul 

Burge and Valerio Ciacia, 

have had considerable 

success in harness shows and 

driving events. Next 

February the College will 

host the Victorian Harness 

Championships. 

Third term will be a busy 

time for riders, with 

preparations for the 

Whittlesea Show, an 

endurance drive in the 

Brisbane Ranges and OUf 

own Annual Gymkhana. The 

Gymkhana will be on 28th 

November and is shaping up 

to be a very big event. 

Stable management this year 

was undertaken by Paul 

(vi) 

Burge and Valerio Ciacia and 

this term by fohn Kilbane and 

Nick Sinclair. The amount of 

work that these students 

have to do is growing all the 

time and we are very grateful 

for their efforts. 

Saturday riding with the 

occasional trail ride should 

be operating on most 

week-ends this term. 

Staff Seminar-Action 

(a) During the term holidays 

just gone. quite an 

amount of computer 

equipment has heen 

purchased. We intend to 

introduce the studv of 

computers into Ye,u 10 

next year. For the rest of 

this year the equipment is 

available for staff to tinker 

with. We feel that the 

more familiar staff 

become, the better and 

more confident they will 

be in 1983. 

(b) Music is being taught this 

term - through the use of 

instruments to boys who 

are interested. Mr. Walton 

is making a small but 

effective start to what we 

all hope will be bigger 

things next year and in 

future years. 

(vii) Ladies' Auxiliary 

During second term we had 

two of our important 

functions. Firstly, our 

Annual Retreat on 9th June 

was attended by 50 ladies 

who spent a rewarding day 

listening to Father Leo. The 

Annuai Luncheon was held 

on 23rd June in the College 

Library and this was again a 

great success. This is an 

opportunity each year for 

past and present mothers and 

their friends to get together. 

A Film Luncheon for "Gone 

With the Wind" was held at 

the College Theatrette with 

88 ladies attending. On 7th 

July we joined with the 

Parade Alphington ladies for 

a very enjoyable luncheon 

and showing of "Gown orthe 

Year" at Chaucers. 

(vi ii) Pontifical Mission Aid 

Society 

The school undertook to 

support the society's 40-hour . 

fast. This was done on a class 

13

volunteer basis: Each class 

had a number of boys who 

fasted for 40 hours - the rest 

of the class sponsored these 

fasters. 

Classes engaged in this 

activity heard a talk from a 

mission priest who taught in 

a mission boarding school in 

Gambia. He told the boys tbat 

wben he had arrived in 

Australia - how amazed he 

had been. We have so much 

and don't realise how lucky 

we are. He felt that if people 

in his country [there are 17 

million of them) could see 

what he has seen, they would 

start to question as to what 

right we have to what we 

have got - when they have 

so little. 

The boys raised $2,000 for 

Father's Mission. 

(ix) Tenete Awards: Old Boys 

Association 

The school motto is Tenete 

Traditiones [Hold Fast to 

Your Traditions). The Old 

Paradians Association 

honoured three old boys with 

their highest award. The 

event was an important 

occasion in the life of the 

Parade Community. At the 

dinner, Mr. Ray Money- 

President presiding, were 

distinguished guests 

Bishops Fox and Kelly (both 

old boys) and five of the six 

living past Headmasters of 

Parade. 

The Tenete is not an annual 

award, this being the first 

such occasion for three years. 

The recipients were as 

follows: 

His Lordship Bishop Fox, 

who attended Parade from 

1914-1920, 

Rene Stella 1951-1952, was 

elected in 1957 to the Old 


Committee, 

Bill Dunne 1939-1945, has 

been a member of the Old 


Committee from 1945. 

Yours sincerely 

in Christ,

Newsletter NO.3 

My dear parents. 

This is mv final communication 

to you. I have been thinking long, 

on what to say. In one way I wish to 

speak to you, but at the same time, 

speak to your sons - whom I will 

miss very much. 

You will be familiar with this 

signature Joonnes Poulus PP. II. 

Do you know what the two letters 

after the name signify'! They stand 

for two Latin words "Primus 

Pontus"; this phrase, strictly 

translated, means "the first 

bridge". However, the 

significance of the phrase is much 

deeper than this translation. How 

often, if we cannot obtain 

satisfaction, have we threatened to 

"go to the top"? It gives us all 

immense satisfaction to know we 

can do this, if we need to. "Primo 

Pontus" signifies to us that when 

we get to the Holy Father, if we 

cross the bridge beyond Him we 

can only come to Christ, The Holy 

Father is the ultimate "top" on this 

earth. This being so, what he says 

should not be taken lightly. 

What follows, dear parents, is a 

letter to your sons that I have put 

together from statements made 

over the past year by Our Huly 

Father to Youth, on various 

occasions. 

Dear parents, I would like both 

you and your son to look at this 

"letter". If your son is in a junior 

grade, he may need some 

explanation of particular words. I 

have put the words of the Holy 

Father into the form of a letter as a 

way of saying to your son "Thank 

You!" for his efforts, in the letters 

that I have asked him to write, to 

me, over the period of years he has 

been at Parade. 

Beloved young people, 

I am close to each and everyone 

of you and love you very much. 

Yours is always the noisiest 

presence but also the most 

likeable! 

The world of tomorrow is in 

your hands. Always look to Christ. 

He represents the most perfect 

model of every human existence. 

May you travel the one true way, 

and choose the one certainty, 

which is Jesus Christ your 

Redeemer. 

Enjoy the privileges of your 

youth; the right to be dynamic, 

creative and spontaneous; the 

right to be full of hope and joy; the 

opportunity to explore the 

marvellous world of science and 

knowledge: and above all the 

chance to give of yourself to 

others, in generous and joyful 

service. God bless you and may the 

joy of Jesus be always with you! 

You are called to the discovery 

or rediscovery that is the "Good 

News" brought upon the earth by 

Jesus. Beloved young people, try 

to get to know Jesus in a true and 

comprehensive way. Deepen your 

knowledge of Him in order to 

become friends with Him. Learn to 

unite your efforts in order to 

capture this joy, this "Good News" 

for yourselves, and whoever you 

encounter on the path of your day, 

in the family. in the school, at 

work and play. There are youths 

like yourselves who have not yet 

found it, There are busy men and 

women who do not have the time 

and spirit to seek it. 

There are sick people in 

hospitals and old people in the 

homes who suffer from 

abandonment and loneliness. All 

these sisters and brothers await a 

smile from you, a word from you, 

your help, your friendship, and 

your handshake. Do not deny 

anyone the joy that comes from 

such gestures; thus you will bring 

comfort to them, together with 

benefit to yourselves, because as 

Sacred Scripture says: "It is more 

blessed to give than to receive." 

(Acts 20;35) 

You know that Jesus withdrew 

to the wilderness in prayer for 

forty days. Well, beloved young 

people, you too try to create a little 

silence in your lives, in order to be 

able to think, reflect and pray. It is 

difficult because we are caught up 

in the hubbub of events, the 

communications media, in such a 

way that inner peace is 

compromised and supreme 

thoughts are hampered. It is 

difficult, but it is possible and 

important to be able to do so. 

Beloved young people: continue 

to live in the Truth and for the 

Truth! May the Blessed Virgin, the 

Seat of Wisdom, Mother of the 

Word who enlightens every man, 

assist you, enlighten you and 

comfort you. With these wishes, I 

14

impart to you my Apostolic 

Blessing. 

To Youth on Their Families 

Remember you are part of a 

family. Love your family! Lover 

your parents and all who love you, 

with generosity, patience and tac!, 

tolerating those imperfections 

which are not lacking in any 

person wbatsoever. 

I hope tbat you all find in your 

homes an atmosphere of real love. 

Something which has great value 

at your age is allachmentto your 

family, especially your parents. I 

wish to invite you to establish and 

always maintain a relationship of 

great and true affection with your 

parents; they are your first friends .. 

To a large extent, your life in the 

future depends how you are today 

in harmony with, and cherish 

respect for, those who begot you 

and brought you up. 

Certainly, the moment of 

leaving home will come and for 

this, too, you must train, by 

personally responsible growth; 

but never cut your family roots, for 

danger of becoming arid or wild. 

Youth Who Are Students 

I know that students all over the 

world are troubled by the 

problems that weigh on society 

around them and on the whole 

world. Look at those problems, 

explore them, study them and 

accept them as a challenge. But do 

it in the light of Chris!' He put all 

human life in the true dimension 

of truth and of authentic love. True 

knowledge and true freedom are in 

Jesus. 

Apply yourselves to study with 

great industry. Remember that, 

even among adults, the man who 

is always prepared to learn is 

great, while the one who already 

thinks he knows everything is, 

actually, only full of himself and 

therefore, empty of the great 

values that really enrich life. 

Be convinced always that your 

daily work has great value in the 

eyes of God. Make every effor! to 

ensure that its quality is worthy of 

Christ. 

I exhort the world of 

intellectuals, students in 

universities and in schools and 

young people in general, to 

consider their lives not only in 

terms of a thorough personal 

formation, but as a real vocation, 

as promoters of human and moral 

elevation in societv, to make it 

more worthy. more just, more 

adapted to the complete man. 

To Youth in Trouble 

I want each of you to feel that 

this greeting of mine is addressed 

to you personally. It desires to be a 

moment of personal meeting, an 

instant of conversation and 

intimacy. The Pope feels 

particularly close to all those who 

are, in some way. in a situation of 

hardship. need, and trouble. 

Rest assured that I love you and 

have confidence in you, I would 

like to show to you personally this 

affection, this trust of mine, and to 

tell you that I do not fail to raise my 

prayer to God so that He may 

always sustain you with that love 

which He showed, by sending us 

His son, Jesus Christ, our Brother. 

He. too, experienced suffering and 

need, but He indicated to us the 

way, and offers us His help, to 

overcome them. 

I know your problems, I 

understand your difficulties: I 

know, in particular. how difficult 

it is for you to look to the future 

with confidence. However, I 

would like you to become aware of 

the strength that lies in your 

youth, whicb is such as to be able 

to blossom out into an industrious 

future. Sometimes we are lamps 

without light, with possibilities 

not realised. Well, I want to relight 

in your hearts a flame, should the 

disappointments you have 

suffered, the expectations that 

have not come true, have 

extinguished it. 

I want to say to each of you that 

you have capacities for good, 

honesty and industry; real. deep 

capacities. often unsuspected, 

sometimes made even greater by 

hard experience itself. 

If you should sometimes be 

seized by the sad thought: "people 

look at me with eyes that humiliate 

and mortify"; perhaps even the 

thought, "my parents do not have 

confidence in me"; well, rest 

assured that the Pope addresses 

you with esteem, as youths who 

have the capacity of doing so 

much good in life, tomorrow, and 

15 

he relies on your responsible 

integration in society. 

To Sick Youth 

You sick ones are very dear to 

me. God certainly looks on you 

with special affection because you 

resemble more his Son in the pain 

and humiliation of the Cross. I 

realise how hard your lives are, 

and how you may sometimes be 

overcome by dismay. But I exhort 

you with a fatherly hear!, always to 

look up to where light and grace 

come from. And furthermore, the 

Ch urch is purified every day by 

your sufferings if they are united 

with those of the Lord. With these 

sentiments I am close to you 

always and I bless you. 

Be confident, the Lord will not 

abandon you. In the most difficult 

moments of trial turn to him and 

say with the same words I 

suggested in Brazil: "Lord, grant 

us patience, serenity and courage; 

\lrant us to live in joyful charity, 

tor love of you, with those who, 

though not suffering, have not a 

clear view of the meaning of life." 

Your suffering can be compared 

to the seed which, in the season of 

Winter, develops slowly. while 

awaiting to blossom in the Spring. 

Such is the suffering of a sick 

person; a precious seed which will 

receive unhoped for rewards from 

the Lord, a symbol of that Cross 

which regenerated the world and 

caused the buds of Christian 

communities to bloom 

everywhere. The Pope remembers 

you in prayer and blesses you 

willingly. 

To Youth on Violence and Hatred 

We call brothers and sisters 

those who are children of the same 

fathers and mothers. According to 

the teaching of Christ (and also 

according to the general religious 

view), people are brothers and 

sisters because God is their Father. 

Christ places this truth about the 

Fatherhood of God at the centre of 

his Gospel. 

All human beings are brothers 

and sisters because in spite of all 

that divides them - race, 

language, nationality. religionthey 

are alike; each and every one 

of them is a human person. 

I appeal to young people, do not 

listen to voices which speak the

language of hatred, revenge. 

retaliation. Do not follow anv 

leaders who train you in \Va~'sof 

inflicting death. 

It is necessary for me to say with 

much forcefulness and conviction 

thai a world of justice. solidarity 

and peace cannot be constructed 

on blood and on the corpses of 

victims, whose onlv crime is to 

have different vie";s. 

Violence is an offence against 

man. but it is an offence above all 

against the Christian. because the 

Christian always recognises. in all 

men. brothers. and never enemies. 

Answer blind violence and 

inhuman hatred. beloved young 

people. with the impelling power 

of love! lJear witness with your 

behaviour. with vour lives. that 

ideas are not imposed but are 

proposed. 

Only love, in fact, which is the 

soul of the Gospel, enables us to be 

always young. You know the 

oulbursts of violence of our days; 

how many deaths they cause and 

bow many tears! Well, he who 

causes death is not only old, but is 

already dead inside. Life, in fact, 

springs only from Love. So 

cultivate the most genuine love for 

everyone, like that of Jesus, always 

ready to help those in need, to 

forgive those who offend you, and 

even to correct, or at least have 

compassion on, those who act 

tyrannically. 

The Task of Youth in the World 

[believe in Youth with all my 

heart. Christ believes in youeveryone 

of you. And He loves 

you and wants to love through 

you. Your lask is crystal clear: to 

bring Christ to the World and to 

hring the world to Chris!. 

In our age we are \vitnesses of a 

terrible exploitation of the words: 

"[ove" and "freedom". Men 

equate love with sexuality and 

freedom with self indulgence 

(doing your own thing!). The true 

meaning of these words must be 

found again. You must return to 

the Gospel, You must return to Ihe 

school of Chris!. Christ says, Love 

is choosing the right, rejecting the 

wrong; it is nol blind; but it is 

laying down my life for a friend: 

True love is never cnding and 

never fearful, Love is kind, gentle. 

patient. strong. quiet, giving, not 

receiving: 

keeping 

Christ says love is 

His commands! 

Christ also says: "[ called you to 

freedom, but be careful or this 

freedom will provide an opening 

for self indulgence ... if you are 

guided by the Spirit you will be in 

no danger of self indulgence. 

When self indulgence is at work 

the resulls arc obvious, 

fornication, gross indecency, 

sexual irresponsibility, idolatry, 

wrangling, feuds, bad temper, 

factions. drunkenness and similar 

things. 

What the spirit brings is very 

different love. joy. peace. patience. 

kindness, goodness, trustfulness, 

gentleness and self-control. Who 

makes laws against things like 

these? Self indulgence is the yoke 

of the slave - the fruits of the 

spirit are the yoke of freedom. All 

this is the real truth. 

(Galations Ch. 51 

Dear young people. be bearers of 

the "message of Truth" in the 

world, be witnesses to Christ, the 

Way, Ihe Truth, and the Life, the 

Light of the world and the 

salvation of mankind! By your 

example, show everyone that the 

truth must be loved! The truth 

must be known and therefore 

souaht with love, dedication and 

melhod, and above all the trulh 

must be lived. Christianitv is not 

just a doctrine it is first o(all a 

Person, Jesus Christ, who must be 

loved and consequently imitated 

and realised in everyday life, by 

means of complete faith in his 

word. the life of grace, prayer and 

charity. 

I wish to express to you my 

encouragement that you feel 

personally responsible for those of 

your own age who do not yet know 

Ihe joy which comes from the 

discovery of friendship with 

Christ. Here are my instructions to 

vou, 0 beloved young people: 

bring Christ 10 your friends, bring 

vour friends to Christ! You could 

flot give them a greater gift. 

Remember, moral 

permissiveness does not make 

man happy. The consumer society 

does not make man happy. They 

have never done so. [f man trusts 

his own strength the world can 

offer him only prospects of death, 

drugs. violence. terrorism, 

tyranny. consumerism of every 

kind. 

It is knowledge of Jesus which 

ends loneliness, overcomes 

sadness and uncertainty gives real 

meaning to life, curbs passions, 

exalts ideals, expands energies in 

charily, brings light in decisive 

choices. And only Jesus can give 

you real joy which is not 

superficial. 

May these words of mine, dear 

young people, be your luminous 

program. May the Lord Jesus help 

\,ou carrv it oul every day while I 

ilOW, willingly, give to you my 

fatherly blessing. 

May the blessings of the 

Almighty and Everliving God 

come down upon you. 

[n the Name of + The + Father + 

And of + The + Son + 

And of + The + Holy Spirit + 

And remain with you, for ever. 

Amen.

Many thanks are due to the boys 

for the time and effort put into 

training, both the team members 

and those who trained, but did not 

make the team. Thanks also to the 

coaches under the general 

command of Mr. Bruce Walsh, our 

chief coach, and team manager, 

who all agree did a very thorough 

job in preparing and finally 

presenting the team. 

Congratulations to the youngsters 

of the team in winning their 

section cup. 

(ii) Cricket 

1st XI 

The first half of the 1982/83 

season sees our senior team 

undefeated and on top of the 

ladder. Our astute coach, Ivlr. 

Graeme Allan, feels that this team 

is equal to any of the premiership 

teams he has coached in the past. 

perhaps beller in the sense of 

overall balance, hetween batting, 

howling and fielding. 

The coach's only worry is 

over-confidence and he will be 

aiming to have our players 

keeping a healthy respect for each 

team as it comes along, and always 

endeavouring to bat and bowl in 

the manner which shuts out anv 

possibility of our opposition . 

seeing the chance of an upset. 

Our captain is Paul Fahey and 

the vice-captain is Marcus Barber. 

Our success so far is due in no 

small measure to these two boys. 

In our wins to date, outstanding 

efforts have been - 

Against Braybrook 

Matthew O'Brien 71 

Adam Powick 49 n.o. 

Against 51. Bernard's 

Paul Fahev 74 n.o. 

Damien :Vloore 5/13 

Against Altona 

Paul Hewett 48 

Michael Newell 3/70 

Against De La Salle 

Michael Newell 30 n.o. 

Adam Powick 20 n.o. 

Michael Newell 4/12 

Marcus Barber 218 

Junior XI 

With four games completed, our 

juniors have won one game. Our 

bowling and fielding have been 

excellent, but the batting has not 

been as good. The coach,lvlr. 

Brown, feels that this will improve 

and is looking forward to the 

games after Christmas. 

The captain is Mallhew Hewall, 

and the two best performers to date 

are Anthony Doyle and Dominic 

Smale. 

(iii) Water Polo 

We entered three teams in the 

Victorian Schools Water Polo 

Competition. Our opeo team 

17 

finished runners-up, edging 

Melbourne High School out of the 

final but not able to topple Wesley 

in a hard-fought grand final. 

The junior teams come from 

Years 7 and 8. Our :-':0.1 team were 

runners-up to Melbourne High in 

the grand final. 

It was the coach's aim in this 

area to give all boys in the squad a 

chance of taking part in a 

competitive situation. So the boys 

did extremely well. as our 

"strongest" teanl was not always 

in the water. The best player award 

went to Gavan Jowetl. Jeffrey 

Bloom and tvlark Wolczko were 

consistent performers over the 

season. We are hoping for big 

things from these enthusiastic 

juniors in future \fears. 

I would like to thank our coach, 

Mrs. Carson, for the time and effort 

she put into this activity. Mrs. 

Carson would like me to thank the 

parents of the boys concerned, 

because matches were after school 

hours and some inconvenience 

must have been experienced by 

them, from time to time. 

CAREERS NIGHT: In these limes 

of contracting employment 

opportunities, it is even more 

important for students to be 

exposed to, information on, ond 

various experiences of, the huge 

range of post-school possibilities. 

Whether they be in tertiary 

education, banking, the trades or 

anv of the thousands of other 

possibilities, it is very useful for 

students and parents to gather in 

an environment designed to share 

information and experiences on a 

variety of occupational and 

educational pursuits. 

The Parade Careers Information 

Exchange evening (Careers 

evening) was designed to assist 

students appreciate which broad 

areas of interest in a particular 

occupational grouping might 

nlatch their own. For this reason 

our Careers evening, held in the 

Gym (Thursday, 7th October), 

presented a forum for the 

exchange of information on a 

variety of post-school options and 

facilities available, including: 

Mechanical ~ 

Metallurgical 

Mining 

Civil 

Engineering

Production 

Cartography 

Geology 

Interview and Application Hints 

Vocations

Welfare Work 

General Nursing

etc. 

In order to foster self-reliance 

and initiative, two increasingly 

sought qualities, the 64 guest 

career counsellors were placed 

around the gym ("Stalls at a fair") 

so that interested students and 

parents could walk around 

examining the video and slide 

displays, posters and pamphlets 

before discussing "one to one" an 

area curiosity determined. 

The evening was very well 

received with the continuous fiow 

of people (up to 200 in the gym at 

some stages of the evening) 

keeping most of the guest 

counsellors talking all evening. 

I take this opportunity to again 

thank the staff and parents who 

contributed to the success of the 

evening and especially to thank 

the guest counsellors (who all 

expressed a desire to return next 

year). 

Hope to see you all at the 1983 

Careers Information Exchange 

Evening.

Work Experience Co-ordinator 

P.S. Thank you Chris, for the 

report and for your efforts on 

behalf of the boys this year.

CA1\lPS AND RETREATS 

Year 10-All classes went on a 

two-day retreat run by the 

Christian Brothers' Retreat Team 

at Amberley. 

Year 9 - In beautiful weather a 

week was spent at Fraser National 

Park. Canoeing and swimming 

were very welconle activities in 

the hot conditions. The water, 

however, was very cold. Each class 

engaged in an overnight hike and 

camp, over rather difficult terrain, 

The "horror" orienteering course, 

mapped out by Mr. Brown and Mr. 

Allan, was conquered by the boys 

in about 40-50 minutes, much to 

the" horror" of the rest of the staff 

who were looking forward to a 

few, boy-free hours. 

Year 8 - The lads spent one day 

camped at Warrandyte - Here is 

what one lad said in a leller 10 me. 

"I was nervous about the camp 

because I had my doubts about 

some of the boys in our room. 

Everything was all right and I felt 

the class was one team of peopleespecially 

when we were all round 

the camp fire and listening to each 

other. The camp should have been 

more than one night." 

Year 7 - All classes spenl one 

night canlped near the Plenty 

River, on the property adjoining 

Parade - janefield. The 

Headmaster visited each camp to 

conduct night prayers. The 

Headmaster is impressed by the 

Year 7's. 

OUR AUXILIARIES 

(i) Mothers- The Annual Art 

Show, organised by Maureen 

Walsh and her Committee, was 

held in September and was again a 

great success. Over 300 paintings 

and many crafts were exhibited. 

Our Fashion Parade in October, 

was enjoyed by 250 ladies. Gowns 

by Michael FiliI'S were shown, 

including some past entrants in 

Gown of the Year. In November the 

Ladies' Auxiliary were able to 

provide a Valete Luncheon for 150 

HSC boys and Staff. Many mothers 

were present. 

(ii) Fathers 

(a) The Annual General Meeting 

saw the Committee re-elected with 

Mr. Bill Barnes retiring as 

Treasurer, th is posi tion being 

taken by Mr. Geoff Smith. 

(b) The final Working Bee for the 

year was held on the last Sunday of 

November. Over 160 fathers 

turned up. A large car park was 

constructed behind the theatrette. 

Excavations under the Library 

were completed. Agricultural 

drains were laid near the new 

cricket practice wickets. The bike 

rack area was completed in 

concrete. The front fence 

advanced another stage. A huge 

amount of cleaning up and cutting 

of grass also took place. The car 

and bus ports near Ihe Brothers' 

House were completed. All in all a 

most satisfying morning. Peter 

McCormack and his maintenance 

committee must be congratulated 

for the smooth organisation of the 

nl0rning. 

At the end of the morning's 

work, a welcome drink and bite to 

eat were partaken of by a large 

number of fathers. Invited to the 

barbecue were Max Synon, who 

was the head of the maintenance 

commillee for a number of years 

and the man responsible for 

getting the squash courts off the 

ground. john Giddens, a past 

president of the Fathers' 

Association, on behalf of the 

Fathers present and past made a 

presentation to the retiring 

Headmaster, the Headmaster 

being most grateful for this kind 

thought. 

POTPOURRI 

(i) Sincere sympathy must be 

extended to the De lonno family 

(Andrew, Room 19) at the death of 

Mrs. Angela De lonno after a very 

serious illness, and 

The Danson family (Scott, Room 

15) at the death by accident of Gary 

Danson, tragically knocked from 

his motor bike on the way home 

from work. 

(ii) The new Headmaster has 

been to the school on a couple of 

occasions. He has spoken to the 

boys at their weekly assemblies. I 

sha II recommend to him that the 

fees must rise at least $15.00 per 

term next year. 

18

The school finances ran pretty 

smoothly this year- the one 

expense that caught us by surprise 

was the rise in teachers' salaries. 

At the start of the year we were 

worried that these would rise a 

great deal (14-17% was forecast). 

The actual rise was 23%. 

(iii) Black amI White TV's - In 

1983 Parade will be introducing 

computers into the curriculum. 

Rooms will be set up throughout 

the school to achieve this aim. 

These rooms will require four 

black and white TV's as well as 

other equi pmenl. In order to 

reduce the cost of introducing 

computer courses, the school is 

asking for donations of black and 

white TV's. 

If you have a 20 to 26 inch black 

and white TV in good working 

order. which is no longer needed, 

please contact Mr. B. McCann at 

the Bundoora campus before the 

10th December or in the first 

school week of 1983. 

Any help in this area would be 

greatly appreciated. 

(iv) Interchange - Host 

Families for Disabled 

Children/Adults- Would vou be 

willing to open your home for 

shari periods to a disabled 

child/adult? 

"Interchange (Northern 

Region)" is in need of "families" 

- either couples with or without 

children. or single persons - to 

act as second or "host" families to 

children/adults with disabilities. 

After a short training program of 

approximately 4-5 two-hour 

sessions. host families are 

carefullv matched with a disabled 

child/adult. and then commit 

themselves to caring for that 

child/adult in their own home 

once every 4-6 weeks - usually 

for a day or a week-end. 

This has three main benefits: 

• the disabled person's family has 

a break from the constant care of 

that person 

• the disabled person broadens 

his/her social experiences by 

living with a different family 

• a wider section of the 

community can help share in 

the care of the disabled person. 

"Interchange" is a voluntary 

scheme currently financed by a 

small grant from the Schools 

Commission. and based at the 

Elthanl Community Health and 

Welfare Centre. 7 Dudley Street. 

Eltham. The Co-ordinator. Shirley 

Crawley, would be happy to 

answer any questions you may 

have about the scheme and can be 

contacted on 4301255,9-12 noon 

Wednesday and Thursday, or 

43825214-5 p.m. most weekdays. 

(v) Parade Annual Gymkhana- 

This event was run for the second 

time this year and proved to be 

even a greater success than the 

initial evenl. It is estimated that 

approximately 500 people were in 

attendance. At least 300 horses 

were entered in events. 

The purpose of this day is to 

provide a Novice competition for 

the Parade riders and to involve 

them with other riders in this 

class. Our own boys were very 

successful. especially in the 

Novelty Riding and Freshman's 

jumping. john Kilbane and james 

McCormack scooped the pool with 

many ribbons to their credit: also 

David Healy, Nick Sinclair and 

Mark Pearson had considerable 

success. 

Special thanks 10 the band of 

fatbers and mothers who manned 

the gates and operated the kiosk. 

Also, we are thankful to the many 

brothers and sisters of our riders 

who gave us considerable help. 

Finally, we commend our riding 

instructress. Lorraine Skinner. for 

19 

her many hours of preparation for 

the evenl. 

(vi) Timetable for the Start of1983 

Tuesday. 1st February-Staff 

Meetings. 

Wednesday. 2nd February- 

School starts for all classes. 

(vii) Drama Nights 

On a series of nights. Years 7 to 

10 presented a variety of 

workshop-type productions to 

give parents an overview of the 

tyre of activity being attempted by 

al students in a particular form 

level. 

I wish to thank all concerned, 

pu pils and staff. for their efforts 

during this year. A special 

mention to Mrs. Susan Weston and 

Mr. Anthony Ryan. our Iwo 

specialist drama teachers: a 

mention also to our ordinary staff 

members who worked in this area. 

and 10 those who worked behind 

the scenes on those "enervating" 

drama nights. 

Finally, dear parents. I would 

like to say l?oodbye. to you all: to 

thank you tor your co-operation 

during my time at Parade. and to 

wish you and your family a joyful 

Christmas. 

Yours sincerely in Christ. 

Hr. J. M. Wright 

Headmaster

IN 

APPRECIATION 

In late 1976 the Provincial 

Council of St. Patrick's Province, 

in its wisdom, announced the 

appointment of Brother J, lvi, 

Wright to the Headmastership of 

Parade College as from January, 

1977. Such an appoinlment would 

be a challenge for even the most 

experienced of administrators: to 

one taking up his first 

appointment as a Headmaster il 

must have seemed a daunting 

challenge indeed! 

During the ensuing six years of 

his Headmastership, Brother has 

endeared himself to the whole 

Parade community - boys, staff 

and parents. He is a quiet, 

somewhat shy man, yet, one 

possessed of an inner strength, 

who leads by example and who 

inspires confidence in those 

whom he leads. He is, above all, a 

man of prayer. On reflection, it is 

this air of prayerfulness, of 

serenity, of peace within himself 

and with the world in which he 

works, that strikes the writer as 

being the mosl significant trait in 

the character of Brother Wright. 

One of the constant themes in 

his Newsletters is prayer and its 

importance in the daily life of each 

of us. Brother urges each of us to 

20

pray for the gift at prayer; to pray 

to be able to pray; to pray to want to 

pray. This is the message he gives 

to each boy in his Religious 

Education classes -let us pray 

that they and we respond earnestly 

to his teaching. 

It is no surprise to find that 

Brother, being'a loyal follower of 

Edmund Ignatius Rice and imbued 

with his spirit, has placed the life 

of the Founder of the Christian 

Brothers before the boys as an 

example of one who is a true, 

devoted follower of Our Lord. 

Founder's Day has been a very 

special day of celebration at 

Parade during Brother Wright's 

term as Headmaster, with prayer, 

pageantry, games, free servings 

from the canteen, 3XY music 

piped through classrooms being 

the order of the day! 

Brother started a group, known 

as the Edmund Rice Society, made 

up of students who voluntarily 

commit themselves to pray 

together regularly, observe certain 

simple rules and also voluntarily 

perform social work on a regular 

basis, Numerically, this group is 

not particularly strong, but, as a 

leaver within the student body, it 

plays a very vital role in the life of 

the school. 

Devotion to Mary, Mother of 

God, has always been a special 

trait of a Christian Brothers' 

School. At Parade it has been 

especially so, for our Patroness is 

Our Lady under the title of the 

Immaculate Conception. The 

mound in front of the 

Administration building was 

formed with Brother's permission, 

at the request of the student body 

to accommodate the statue of Mary 

Immaculate which had originally 

stood for nearly a hundred years in 

a niche high in the walls of the 

"Bluestone Pile" at East 

Melbourne. It is around this shrine 

that the whole school assembles 

every Tuesday and Thursday 

during October to recite the Rosary 

and again on our Patronal 

Feastday to ask Mary's prayers on 

our behalf. 

It would not be unfair, I think, to 

say that Brother's administrative 

style has been "low key" - what 

he has planned and accomplished 

has been done efficiently but 

without any undue fuss or fanfare. 

When we look back over the last 

six years, we realise that what has 

been done under Brother's 

direction is, indeed, impressive. 

To begin with there have been a 

number of innovative educational 

features: 

The College Camping Scheme 

was introduced to replace the 

already defunct Cadet Unit. 

Whereas the Cadets provided an 

experience for some boys from 

Year 9 to Year 11, the Camping 

Scheme has been designed and 

modified to give all boys from Year 

7 to Year 11 experiences at varying 

levels and in various environs. 

The culmination of these 

experiences occurs at Year 11 level 

when the boys experience the 

Outward Bound Camp. 

A Work Experience Progrnm has 

been established which gives 

every boy in Year 10 the 

opportunity to experience, e~first 

hand, what it is like to be in the 

workforce and, in particular, 

where possible, in the field one 

considers oneself best suited to. 

A lv/onuol Arts Deportment 

involving lessons and workshop 

practice in Woodwork and 

Metalwork has been established 

and all boys in Year 9 and 10 study 

this subject. At Year 11 level this 

sub/'ect is optional and hopefully it 

wil be an accredited course in 

Year 12 within the next twelve 

months. 

A Christian Sexuality progrom 

for Year 11 students is conducted 

each year during second term. 

Horseriding tuition is available 

for boys wishing to avail 

themselves of this opportunity. 

That some 500 or more have 

already been through the novice 

course speaks volumes for the 

popularity of this activity. This 

year the Second Annual Parade 

College Gymkhana will be held in 

the College grounds. Last year 

some two hundred entrants 

competed. 

Droma classes from Year 7 to 

Year 10 have become integral parts 

of the curriculum and culminate 

in "Drama Nights" where the 

year's work is seen acted out in the 

College theatre to the enjoyment of 

all concerned. 

21 

The physical improvements that 

have occurred also deserve 

mention: 

The Swimming Pool has been 

completely remodelled, heated 

and covered so that it is now used 

throughout the whole year. 

As a result offire, the classrooms 

at Edmund Rice had to be rebuilt 

and refurbished. 

Three squash courts [lovingly 

built by dedicated dads) have been 

completed. 

The administrotion block has 

been enlarged, offices built in the 

Senior and Middle School areas 

and a reference centre provided for 

the Religious Education 

Deportment. 

The dams have been enlargedwe 

now have our own island - 

and the change has made it 

possible to add sailing to our 

Physical Education curriculum. 

The GOf\'ev 0\'01 and surrounds 

have been competed - soon the 

change rooms will be erected. 

The horse yards and 

saddle-harness shed have been 

constructed (without BLF 

assistance!). 

The groundstaff quarters have 

been relocated and the machinery, 

compound enlarged. 

The front fence has been erected 

as have post-and-rail fences 

around the grassed playing areas. 

The Dromo Theatre and 

Staffroom complex complements 

the Library and with it, shares a 

common foyer which has proved 

to be a valuable and versatile space 

for both learning and social 

experiences. 

Student needs have always been 

to the forefront of Brother's mind. 

Apart from the obvious concern 

for student needs in the 

educational and physical features 

already mentioned, Brother, very 

early on in his term, set aside an 

area for the Year 12 (HSC) students 

- the Common Room - in which 

pool and table-tennis tables, 

"Cafe-bar" and radio were 

installed. Later, he introduced his 

"hot weather" uniform rules. 

Some (parents, teachers) were 

shocked by the mere thought of 

Paradians coming to school in 

shorts, T-shirt and thongs!

However, the boys understood and 

appreciated their Headmaster's 

concern for their comfort and 

complied with the standards set. 

Representatives of College teams 

are permitted to wear "plain 

clothes" on sports' days. 

When we found ourselves short 

of a Religious Education teacher in 

Year 9 about four years ago, 

Brother, on his return from Rome, 

graciously accepted the invitation, 

to become involved in the Middle 

School Religious program, 

particularly in Year 9. His 

presence in th is area has been of 

great spiritual benefit to the boys 

(and staff), particularly in the 

prayer life of each boy. His Year 9 

Form Religion Periods have been 

appreciated by both pupils and 

staff. 

The College adminstration has 

been restructured over the past six 

years into areas each run by an 

Area Co-ordinator. There are now 

four such areas: Senior School, 

(Years 11. 12) Middle School 

(Years 9,10) Junior School "ERC" 

(Years 7, 8) and Prep School 

"Alphington" (Years 5-8). This 

distribution of the administrative 

load has been very successful and 

has brought the Headmaster into 

closer contact with all sections of 

the school than was the case 

previously. 

Always interested in sport, 

Brother did not allow his 

administrative duties to totally 

divorce him from the sport arena. 

He coached the Cross-Country 

Team and for the past three years 

his team was runner-up in the ACC 

Championships. This year, 

however, his boys won the coveted 

championship for him and Parade! 

He will treasure that ACC pennant 

for many a day to come! 

Brother Wright would be the 

first to acknowledge that what has 

been recorded here is not only his 

work. He has been loyally 

supported by parents, pupils, staff 

- but, when all that has been said, 

it has been his leadership, his 

charisma, that has given the 

impetus to what has been done. 

It is, then, with more than a tinge 

of sadness that we say, "Farewell, 

Brother. Thank you for your 

friendship and your leadership. 

May God continue to bless you in 

your work on behalf of His youth 

for many, many years to come."

School Captain's Report 

Parade 1982 has seen many new 

aspects of the college emerge and 

these have been particularly 

noticable in H.S.C. Although 

lacking the sporting prowess of 

recent H.S.C. classes, 1982 did 

produce fine performers in cricket, 

football, soccer and cross-country. 

Ability was not spectacular but the 

willingness to accept roles of 

leadership and responsibility was 

remarked upon in several areas. 

This quality of facing accepting 

and dealing with sometimes 

tedious organisational tasks has 

been the spirit of Parade 

epitomised in the H.S.C. area. It is 

not only the Council members that 

I have to thank for readiness to 

help out in opening and 

administrating the common room, 

organizing an extremely 

successful social and rendering 

valuable assistance to the 

Walkathon effort. .. It was a rare 

occasion to hear an excuse 

pleading release from an 

unpleasant task and all H.S.c. 

boys involved are to he 

congratulated. 

The Mother's Auxiliary warrant 

a special mention as being always 

prepared to give assistance in any 

way possible to endure the smooth 

functioning of school activities. 

There are also those who have 

done their best to ease the burden 

on H.S.C. students by 

volunteering, their sympathies, 

time and energy, from Br. Wright's 

liberal uniform regulations to 

those teachers who devoted time 

to carting busloads of students to 

weekday and weekend lectures. 

Br. Monagle's death came as a 

sudden shock in the first week of 

the August holidays and many 

students were totally unprepared 

for such an event. It was a credit to 

the school that so many students 

from all forms devoted their time 

to attend Brother's funeral service. 

This is indicative of the 

atmosphere of 'sticking together' 

that seems to be pervading the 

college. 

Although H.S.C. 1982 has 

passed, I feel that we have left our 

mark on the college and hope that 

we will be remembered on the 

whole favourably. With 

considerable sporting talent 

graduating through the 

middle-school. Parade should see 

a return to sporting supremacy in 

future years and combined with 

Vice-Captain: Gerard Dmding. 

School Capl."lin: D{]mian Wilson.

the distinctive spirit Parade will 

indeed remain a remarkable

Year 7 and 8 


The year opened with an extra 

class coming into E.R.C. bringing 

the number of students to 246. To 

help the boys and staff to find their 

feet in their new environment each 

class held a three day camp 

housed at E.R.C. during February. 

One of the highlights of first term 

was the Opening School Mass in 

which the whole school 

participated. 

On the sporting scene, the boys 

fielded four cricket teams in the 

C.j.S.A. Saturday morning 

competition. A social cricket 

match for the Year 8's was played 

against Northside Christian 

College. 

The long second term saw the 

usual round of Inter-school 

football on Saturday mornings. 

The Under 12's completed a 

double by adding the football to 

their cricket premiership from first 

term. Our Year 7/8 soccer team 

won the inaugural C.j.S.A. soccer 

premiership. On the social side, 

Year 7 played football and soccer 

against Lakeside High. 

In response to a call from the 

Archbishop the boys participated 

in a 40-hour Fast to help the 

Church's foreign missions. 

Both Year 7 and Year 8 had 

excursions during this term. The 

Year 7 students visited the Zoo and 

the Year 8's went to the S.E.C. 

Station at Thomastown and the 

Gas and Fuel travelling Energy 

Show. The boys seemed to enjoy 

themselves. 

The third term proved to be 

quite busy. The College's annual 

Walkathon once again proved to 

be a success with the students on 

two grounds. Firstly on the 

amount raised by the Year 7 and 

8's and secondly on the enjoyment 

of the day itself. 

The Annual Drama night took a 

slightly different form this year. 

Each boy participated on a night 

before n large crowd of family and 

friends. Each of the three nights 

\vas entertaining and a growing 

experience for the boys. 

All of the students participated 

in oral tests in the Alliance 

Francais Competition and the Year 

7's also entered into the grammar 

section. 

Excursions: Year 7 and 8 went to 

the Planetarium and Year 8's went 

to the Parliament and the Old 

Melbourne jail. 

The class camps in this term 

were of the campiog under canvas 

variety. The Year 7's camped on 

tbe property and the Year 8's went 

to the Warrandyte State Park.

Year 9 Report 

We began the Year with our 

class orientation camps and 

welcomed our new staff members 

- Miss McKeever, 1\lr. Milroy and 

Mr. Gobbett. Mr. Rubira joined us 

from E.R.C. 

New subjects for all were 

Woodwork and Metalwork 

[Manual Arts). Some of us took up 

the study of Italian as a second 

foreign language; others of us 

dropped French and took up 

Consumer Education. 

We had interclass competitions 

in Swimming, Athletics 

(Decathlon), Football and Soccer. 

Our contribution to the Walkathon 

was $???? 

Some boys made a Retreat 

during Term 2 under the guidance 

of Brother Wright. We looked 

forward to Brother's Year 9 Form 

Religion periods of a Tuesday. 

We had representatives in the 

Junior Cricket Xl, Junior XVlII and 

Junior Soccer Xl as well as in the 

Champion Cross-Country Team 

and the College Athletic Team. 

Although we all did not get to 

perform on Drama Night due to the 

fact that the program had to be 

condensed, the night was very 

successful. 

Our October five-day camp at 

Fraser National Park was tougb, 

but enjoyable. 

There is only the run up to lhe 

final exams left. Before we know 

where we are we will be receiving 

our Year 9 Certificates! What a 

year it has been!! 


Year 10 began with a splasb. 

Before our feet left the ground, we 

were travelling to the seaside in 

preparation for the arduous year 

ahead. This year Room 17 went to 

Breamlea, Room 18 to Ocean 

Grove, Room 19 to I3arwon Heads 

and Room 20 to Anglesea. Eacb 

class camped in a local caravan 

park for three days, and it was a 

wonderful opportunity to get to 

know new classmates, renew 

friendships. and generally enjoy 

the fantastic weather and first 

class surf. 

Our curriculum provided even 

more variety tban we had bad in 

previous years, Subjects such as 

Woodwork; Metalwork, Graphics 

and Social Science created a lot of 

interest and all produced some 

excellent work. Italian was 

introduced this year whicb has 

increased tbe range of language 

options open to the students. 

The lnler-class competition was 

once again contested keenly. 

Room 20 won the Decathlon. 

Room 18 the Swimming and Roam 

17 the Football and Soccer. There 

was also the Junior XI and Junior 

XVIII Teams, which both 

performed well. 

Some students were fortunate 

enough to be able to arrange Work 

Experience placements during the 

year and from all reports their 

"experiences" were generally 

helpful in planning a career. 

Camps were held at Mt. Evelyn 

and Belgrave Heights, during 

Term II, There were many 

highlights during the two weeks. 

The agony of the rides to Mt. 

Evelyn (40 km) and Belgrave 

Heights (56 km) as Mr. Jennings 

kept telling us there were only one 

or two gentle gradients ahead. The 

canoeing in the warm water of 

Belgrave and the warm weather 

and the short daily bike rides all 

made the camp extremely 

enjoyable. 

The Year 10 Retreats at 

Amberley and Father Abraham 

Mary Sons provided us with the 

opportunity for spiritual renewal 

before being thrust into the dark 

despair of exams in late 

November. 

31 


The Year 11 students of 1982 

went on show as the future leaders 

of the school for 1983. What 

emerged was a vast pool of skills 

and qualities which it is hoped 

will lead the school 

enthusiastically and responsibly 

during next year. 

The knowledge that the student 

body will be ably led next year 

results from the enthusiasm with 

which the Year 11's threw 

themselves into various activities 

throughout the year. The highlight 

of the first term was the ten day 

outward bound adventure where 

our Year 11 boys pitted their 

survival skills and crafts against 

the hazards of nature. All returned 

much wiser and fitter for the 

experience although judging by 

the number of cherry-red arms, 

legs and noses, it would seem that 

the solar forces had a moral victory 

over the zinc cream. 

The other example of 

co-operation and generosity was 

the magnificent contribution of 

the Year 11 boys to the walkathon. 

The lotal amount of money raised 

this year exceeded the previous 

best Year 11 total and it is very 

gratifying to find among young 

adults a willingness to help others 

who are less fortunate than 

ourselves. A large number of 

charitable institutions both in 

Melbourne and overseas benefit 

greatly from this special effort and 

the volume of letters of 

a ppreciation from these 

organisations bears testimony to 

the value of such an effort. 

The highlight of the spiritual 

side of the boys' life was 

undoubtedly the retreats which 

were held at Amberley. All the 

religion teachers who 

accompanied the different classes 

reported nothing but admiration 

for the way that the boys threw 

themselves into the discussions 

and activities with the zest and 

enthusiasm which we have came 

to expect from Parade bays aver 

the years. 

Next year everybody connected 

with Parade can look forward with 

extreme confidence to a mature 

type of leadership which should 

set an examfle for those classes 

who are stil progressing up the 

ladder.

School Mass 

The School Opening Mass for 

1982 was a celebration involving 

the whole community of Parade. 

Students and staff from 

Alphington and Bundoora. with 

the parents of the 1982 School 

Council. came together in the 

college hall on March 16th. 

The Liturgy was concelebrated 

by the three college chaplains. 

Fathers Gerry Briglia. Roger Ryan 

and Tony Griffith. Father Briglia 

was the chief celebrant. 

The college was also celebrating 

the final profession of Brother 

Chris Meehl. who made his 

perpetual vows as a Christian 

Brother on December 23rd. 1981. 

The traditions of the Opening 

Mass were followed again this 

year. The students were involved 

in many aspects of the Liturgy. 

such as the music. the reading of 

prayers. and the Offertory 

Procession. The setting-up and the 

decoration of the hall was also the 

work of students. with many ofthe 

staff involved in helping and 

supervising. 

Brother Wright directed 

proceedings during the Liturgy 

and Brother Shacklock directed 

the music. Tim Donohue. as the 

1981 College Captain. returned to 

be part of the celebration by 

presenting the first reading. 

During the Liturgy. Father 

Briglia presented the 1982 School 

Council with their badges of 

office. The Council consists of: 

Damian Wilson (Captain). Gerard 

Dowling and David Jones 

(Vice-Captains). Brendan Beck. 

Mark Carrazzo. Damian 

Casamento. Damian Ellul. Mario 

Gattino. Peter Gleeson. David 

Jackson. Joe Natoli. John Newman 

and Paul Tasca. 

After the Mass. the Council. 

their guests and the staff enjoyed 

the extensive morning tea 

provided by the Ladies' Auxilary. 

The rest of the school enjoyed a 

half-holiday.

Br. Walter 

Patrick Moloney 

R.I.P. 

On Easter Sunday morning, 

1982, Br. Walter Patrick Moloney 

died in his sleep at SI. Kevin's, 

Toorak. He had been a Christian 

Brother for the last fifty-eight years 

and a teacher at Parade College for 

over thirty years. 

His very presence on the staff, 

when it moved to Bundoora in 

1968 helped to guarantee a 

continuity with the traditions of 

the original Parade at East 

Melbourne. When he did move to 

Toorak just over three years ago, it 

seemed an era had ended. In 1980 

he was awarded the "Tenete" 

award which is the highest honour 

bestowed by the Old Paradians' 

Association. 

First of all Brother was a true 

Religious who tried to do all 

things well. He was always 

faithful to the different facets of 

religious community life and to 

the school apostolate. 

Towards the other members of 

the school teaching community, 

he showed unfailing courtesy and 

sensitivity. In the classroom he 

was demanding on his students, 

aware that the future careers of 

many of them would be enhanced 

by good academic performances. 

Apart from teaching Religious 

Education and Mathematics, 

Brother had many other interests 

- his was certainly not a narrow, 

insular outlook. About English 

literature, music and gardening he 

was very well-informed and able 

to converse fluently. For many 

years he had been sportsmaster 

and always maintained a lively 

interest in the sporting activities of 

the college, as well as continuing 

to play golf himself. 

Any form of ostentation was 

intensely disliked by Brother and 

any personal glory was certainly 

shunned by him. However, he was 

ready to applaud the efforts of 

OBITUARIES 

others, when deserved. Many will 

remember him most for the 

compassion and strength he gave 

to them at their time of grief for he 

was a familiar figure at the 

funerals of ex-students or 

members of their families. 

For those who knew and loved 

Br. Moloney, it is consoling to 

remember that "the life of those 

who are faithful to thee, a Lord, is 

not ended but only changed" and 

the promise of Our Lord when He 

said: "Give and it shall be given to 

you, good measure and pressed 

down." 

Brother J. D. 

Murtagh R.I.P. 

Two days after the death of 

Brother Monagle, Parade was once 

again saddened by the death of 

Brother John Murtagh, aged 78. 

Brother Murtagh had been the 

oldest living Old Paradian 

Christian Brother. He had 

attended Parade before he joined 

the Brothers in 1918. 

Brother addressed the College 

on Founder's Day, 1981 and we 

were all impressed by his gentle 

manners, his wry humour and his 

pride at having attended our 

College. 

His apostolate as a Christian 

Brother extended for over sixty 

years and throughout Australia. 

His fame as a choirmaster is well 

known as was his teaching 

prowess. 

Parade is justly proud ofBrother 

Murtagh as one of its p'roducts. 

May his soul rest in peace. 

Michael Charles 

Thomas R.1.P. 

This year we mourn the death of 

Michael Charles Thomas. He was 

killed by a hit-and-run driver on 

April 23rd, 1982. Michael came to 

Parade for the last term of 1976. He 

completed fifth form in 1979 and 

he joined Barker & Taylor, 

Electrical Engineers as an 

Electrical Fitter. He was very keen 

about his work and helped put in 

installations at the new Concert 

Hall, Loy-Yang Power Station and 

the new Telecom building. 

After Requiem Mass at Mary 

Immaculate Church, Ivanhoe, 

(concelebrated by Father 

Connellan and Father Piele), he 

was buried in the Templestowe 

Lawn Cemetery. Michael was very 

popular and very much loved by 

his contemporaries. Many of his 

friends attended his Requiem and 

followed him to Temples10we. 

The boys of 6th form, his brother 

Andrew's form, attended the Mass 

and formed a guard of honour 

outside the church. The coffin 

bearers were his father George 

Thomas, his brothers Peter and 

Andrew and his friend Philip 

Bates. 

The following was written by 

Philip Bates in memory of 

Michael. 

Michael was my best friend. We 

started primary school together 

and in the years that followed we 

were inseparable. We had many 

good times together and some not 

so good, we shared them both. No 

matter what happened Michael 

always came up smiling. To me he 

was the kindest and most 

understanding person I have ever 

known. Nothing was too much 

trouble and his "asy going attitude 

ensured he was liked by everyone. 

He was my mate. 

MY MATE 

You were the brother that I never 

had, 

We met in grade two, you were 

good and I was bad. 

We grew up together and shared 

everything, 

Our toys and our dreams that were 

made in the Spring. 

But now dreams are shattered 

your'e not here anymore, 

But the memories forever in my 

mind I will store. 

46

Br. William Gabriel Monagle, R.1.P. 

If you would seek his monument 

louk around you. 

In one week of the September 

holidays this year, two men who 

were great Old Paradians and 

Brothers, completed their 

lifetimes of service, and left us 

grieving. 

Brother John D. Murtagh was the 

senior Old Paradian-Brother when 

he died aged 82. He had sought 

relief from Melbourne's winter in 

northern Queensland. There, far 

from his native haunts, he died 

gently. 

Brother Bill Monagle who has 

spent much of his boyhood in 

Preston, and his last five years here 

at Parade, died in an environment 

that he, an ever-healthy, strong, 

outdoor sixty-nine year old, 

considered very very remote: the 

four walls of a hospital room. 

Though the two Brothers shared 

a Parade schooling, and later, the 

religious spirit and activity that go 

with their vocation, and though 

they now share the Beautific 

Vision and a terrain "which eye 

hath not seen", they were quite 

different people in style. 

Brother John was a 

middle-school specialist, 

distinguished and distinctive. He 

was both a social and classroom 

personality. He revelled and 

excelled in concert and 

eisteddfod. He was rather meteoric 

in style, and his coat-of-arms 

might well have featured 

crossed-batons on a field of 

footlights. 

But our dear departed friend, 

Brother Bill, had more sombre 

colours in his life. In school he had 

been a senior teacher of many 

subjects; out of school he worked 

in clouds of dust or on hunks of 

clay. A tractor rampant, with 

crossed pick-and-shovel might 

well have been his insignia. We 

who watched him could have 

supplied the right motto too: Dum 

spiro laboro. 

When Bill and his brother Jack 

went on to Parade from the Preston 

There was some rain and mist- hence the 

raincoat-H's the only lime I've wornHit's 

nol much good among trees - gets 

coughf! 

Convent school, the Depression 

was just beginning. These two 

were the precursors: four more 

Monagle boys and a succession of 

their sons kept the Monagle name 

very much alive at Parade for 

decades. Bill's earnestness and 

ability carried him through to the 

"old" St. Kevin's and then on to a 

brief teaching career with the 

Education Department. Study, 

sport and physical work just when 

the Depression was pulling every 

working class family under stress 

made Bill what everyone, boys 

included, saw him to be: a good 

teacher, a good sportsman and a 

tremendous worker. When the 

Department sent him to his first 

school at his twice daily battle 

with the winds and the elements 

as he cycled to and from Preston 

strikes me as symbolic: all his life 

hostile elements threatened his 

ovals, his wickets, his trees. 

As a teacher of senior boys, he 

soon became, to use a sporting 

term, an all-rounder. He taught 

nearly all senior subjects, at some 

time, in all the four eastern States. 

Charters Towers in the north and 

Hobart in the south benefited from 

his versatility. He became a maths 

specialist only in the later 

decades, but he probably felt most 

at home in that discipline. In fact, 

his first, and only, speech to the 

Community when we welcomed 

him to Parade and maths, was that 

he'd "come home" - and wasn't 

referring to nearby Preston. 

The no-nonsense side of maths 

appealed to him. He was 

something of a "rulesman" though 

a benign one. He was very faithful 

to all his Congregational rules and 

without any sign of a "pre-Vat" 

stance, or standing nat-footed at 

the crease. He was a very demon at 

knowing all the fine print in 

sporting rule-books especially. 

cricket and soccer. 

Boys liked him - sure evidence 

that his rule-fulness was not 

authoritarian. It was in fact almost 

custom-built for hoys. Even during 

one interesting part of his life 

when he was the quartermaster for 

the C.B.C. St. Kilda Cadet Unit 

[surely a good piece of casting) 

humour and a feeling for boys 

moderated Monagle Law. Here in 

Parade he gave us many a laugh as 

he described some key ballies with 

other Brothers, his superior 

officers, who were doing a 

Montgomery or De Gaulle. 

His humour was never puckish 

or Murtagh-like. It was usually 

dry; sometimes excessively so. To 

needle this writer, who prefers his 

celebrations to be at least 

"humid", he said he would soon 

be celebrating his golden jubiliee, 

but "there'll be no grog". 

47

Really, no short magazine 

tribute can do justice to the man 

we have lost. To make it harder his 

fiftv years of dedication are hidden 

bv his modesty and by obscuring 

clouds of chalk-dust or field-dust. 

Perhaps as they settle his life here 

and elsewhere will shine through. 

Certainly, Parade will always look 

g~eener and brighter because of 

hmt. 

How he worked on this "home" 

of broad acres! The movement of 

Parade from the city to lush 

Alphington and the wide fields of 

Bundoora produced a whole 

succession of grand physical 

toilers, muscular men with vision. 

The Moloneys, Englishes, 

Carrolls, the hundreds of 

father-workers, and others, all had 

a remarkable successor in Bill 

Monagle. He came here for the job 

- I refer to his toil on the grounds 

- as though born for it. The sand 

of Waverley in Sydney, the 

powdery quartz-dust of Charters 

Towers, the cow paddocks of 

Wollongong, the flattened 

mine-dumps of Ballara!, all these 

had developed in him a life-style 

of hard physical toil, and vision. 

And so, on Bundoora's 

intractable clay he poured out the 

last of his sweat and energy. Day 

after day and often at night he 

would carryon relentlessly and 

cheerfully. We, Brothers, boys, 

parents, saw him as part and 

parcel of our environment: strong 

and durable like one of our own 

red-gums. Yet occasionally one of 

their giant limbs crashes down. 

Bill's life ended like that. The 

spirit of the man was plain. No one 

thought of him as a hobbyist, or as 

a substitute for paid labour. He 

was in the line of those earlier 

great toilers. 

He is buried in the Brothers' 

Cemetery just outside Parade's 

back fence. From there his fields 

slope down occupied by hundreds 

of playing boys. Happily, some 

thought of him will come to their 

minds and J suggest it might well 

be this: Christopher Wren's 

epitaph quoted at the head of our 

tribute: That great London 

architect had lifted the beauty of 

his city to a new dimension by his 

buildings and especially his 

churches. I think we can say of Br. 

Bill Monagle: 

Si monumentunl requiris. 

circumspice.

Ladies Auxiliary - Report 1981 /82 

Reverend Brother Wright and 

Ladies, 

It is with pleasure that I present 

the Annual Report for the Ladies 

Auxiliary for 1981/82. 

Looking back over the past 

twelve months, it has been a busy 

one for all concerned. 

There have been many functions 

throughout the year including 

Fashion Parade, Basket Supper 

Dance, SI. Patrick's Day Luncheon 

at Dot Bourke's, Annual 

Luncheon, Film Day and 

Luncheon, Gown of the Year at 

Chaucer's and Tennis Days. All 

were well attended and thanks go 

to those who made them a success. 

Family Day organised with the 

Father's Auxiliary was again a 

highlight both socially and 

financially and all ,:Vhoattended 

had a great time. Many people 

worked very hard and thanks to all 

who helped. 

Another highlight was the 

recent Art Show organised by 

Maureen Walsh and her 

Committee. It was a great success. 

In June we were lucky to share a 

wonderful day at a Retreat 

conducted by Fr. Leo. It was an 

opportunity to stop for a while to 

think in our busy lives. 

Again we have been pleased to 

be able to provide luncheons and 

dinners on many occasions such 

as Valete Dav, H.S.C. Reunion, 

Staff Dinners, R.E. Dinners, 

Cross-Country Championship 

Dinner and Old Paradian 

Functions. We bave helped at the 

two day Seminar, Careers Night 

School Social and whenever 

needed. 

For the parent's convenience we 

conducted a successful 

bookselling night at the end of 

1981 and provided jumpers for 

sale at lower prices and 

secondhand reefers throughout 

the year. 

We were pleased to provide 

uniforms for all Vietnamese boys 

wbo have had the opportunity to 

attend Parade and live at E.R.C. 

Life Memberships were 

presented to Mrs. Eileen Hecker 

and Mrs. Carmel Love. 

As you are aware these activities 

do not happen without the support 

and hard work of others. I wish to 

thank the members of the 

Committee who gave so 

generously of their time. Nothing 

was ever too much effort and 

without their assistance our 

success could not have been 

achieved. I thank them for their 

friendship and particular Jean 

Flynn, secretary, for being there 

for me at all times, I certainly 

appreciated her generosity. Also 

Elizabeth O'Halloran, treasurer. 

who has done a great job, 

especially when you consider that 

$35,000 has passed through our 

books. Both are stepping down 

from executive positions but not 

retiring altogether. Also thanks go 

to other retiring members who 

have been so helpful throughout 

my year. 

Thanks go to Brother Wright, 

Brother Bilston and all the 

Brothers who were so helpful, to 

Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Cashmore, Mrs.

Library Resources 

1982 has seen phenomenal 

increases in the resource materials 

available to Ihe students and 

leachers. With an additinnal grant 

of $10.800 from the 

Commonweallh government we 

have been able to increase our 

library books, Audio visual 

software and materials for H.S.C. 

options. Included in these 

materials are books. records. 

slides, posters. audio casselles allli 

models. Severa Is hundred fiction 

books have been added to 

encourage \-vider recreational 

reading by the boys. The reference 

collections have been further 

enlarged by the purchase of: 

Illustrated Atlas of the World. 

Encyclopaedia of World Rivers. 

Encyclopaedia IJrittanica - 31 

Volumes for Senior students. 

IJrittanica Junior Encyclopaedia 

-15 Volumes for Years 7-8. 

New Encyclopaedia of Science 

-16 volumes. 

National Geographic Atlas of 

the World. 

The Phvsical Education, 

Science. t-olalhematics and 

Geography. 

Departments are now able to 

borrow from the Library useful 

models e.g. a spine skelelon or 

liver componenllo illustrate to 

their classes. new slide sels are 

also being used by these teachers; 

Ihese Audio Visual software 

malerials have allowed a wider 

use of media in Ihe classrooms. 

Purchases of Records and Audio 

Tapes have enhanced the drama 

classes and Drama Night as 

incidental music and sound 

effects. This has permitted fuller

Year 7 and 8 

Drama Nights 

The third term brought with it 

the challenge of drama for 

performance and for all concerned 

that meant much hard work, 

practising, anxious moments, 

frayed tempers and finally the 

reward of a performance before an 

a!lPreciative audience who made 

a I actors feel like famous stars. 

The Drama nights were held 

during the first week of October 

and each class was asked to 

present a short performance which 

was representative of the year's 

work. One of the most pleasing 

aspects of the three nights 

programs was tho wide variety of 

items from a script written by 

some Year 7 students based on the 

T.V. Show Get Smart, to Greek 

tragedy incorporating choral 

work, media show, dance and 

visual effects, yet again we had a 

wide variety of scripted plays 

performed often suing humour 

and comedy and even an 

improvised story of the life of Ned 

Kelly accompanied by some song. 

In nearly every case all students 

from the classes involved were 

assigned a role; be it acting a part, 

finding and producing suitable 

music and sound effects, props 

and stage management, costume 

or technical effects. It is here that 

one nf Dramas greatest strengths 

lies, because it affords each 

individual the opportunity to 

contribute and be part of a creative 

team irrespective of age, academic 

ability socia-economic groupand 

each person's role is vital to 

the total presentation. 

The boys of Year 7 and 8 may 

have expressed some fears and 

reservations about acting on a 

stage, however for the majority it 

was a warm and confidence 

building exercise and few will be 

reluctant to try the menu again. 

Even the staff who may not have 

been overly confident of the 

night's success were rewarded and 

pleased with the evening. 

Year 9 Drama 

Night 

One event, on the school 

calendar, which is always 

approached with considerable fear 

and trepidation, by students and 

teachers alike, is the Drama Night. 

This year was definitely no 

exception; fear, anxiety, panic and 

chaos seemed to prevail in the 

weeks prior to the final 

performance. Nevertheless, 

students rose to the occasion and 

presented two very enjoyable 

hours of entertainment. The great 

variety of items on the program 

enabled everv member of the 

audience to find something of 

interest or amusement. 

Each of the four classes 

contributed to the evening which 

began with Room 13 producing 

several scenes from Alan 

Hopgood's "And the Big ,'"Ien 

Fly". Martin Dean gave an 

exceptionally fine performance as 

Achilles jones. Matthew 

Dummett, Peter Fennell and Mark 

Gallagher, provided excellent 

support. 

The second half of Room 13 

staged a spoof, entitled "Super 

Who", on many of the 

"super-hero" characters of 

television and comics. The 

costumes \'Vere eye-catching 

indeed, but none more so than 

Rocky Valolla's "gorgeous" fairy 

outfit - the collon-tail panties 

were only bellered by Rocky's 

delicate, shapely legs which 

caught many an eye. David Moxon 

was resplendent in blue tights and 

leggings, while jeremy Turnhull 

was simply "incredible" in green. 

Nicholas Murphy, as the invisible 

voice of the computer, was up to 

the usual trick of many a student, 

by being heard, but not seen. The 

younger members of the audience 

were captivated by this item, even 

if the characters acted a trifle 

"abnormally". 

Perhaps the most ambitious and 

adventurous production \\'85 

undertaken by Room 14, the 

students of which wrote their own 

play based on incidents from their 

class novel, "The Chinese Boy". 

The boys (Mark Scillio, Nick 

Moloney, Brett Murphy and Craig 

Linssen) had the audience 

enthralled as they struggled to 

54 

master Chinese accents, Never 

daunted, they persevered despite 

occasional lapses, One memorable 

moment was when Paul, 

"bushranger", Woodward referred 

to the Chinese as "Nips". 

Fortunately Mr. Ryan only teaches 

Drama and not Geography. 

For something completely 

different again, David Pinkerton 

gave a poetry recitation which was 

followed by Simon Mackey 

singing "And The Bond Played 

Waltzing ,vlolilda". Simon was 

accompanied on piano by Robert 

Czar. Rohan 1\lurphy assisted by 

projecting slides, of the War, that 

helped create the atmosphere and 

added to the mood. The audience 

was quick to respond and readily 

demonstrated its appreciation of 

the boys' efforts. 

Other members of Room 12 

produced a melodrama entitled 

"Foiled and Counter Foiled", 

Al though there were some 

moments when the prompters 

featured, the entire cast showed 

the determination of any 

professional performer, by living 

out the old adage that "tbe show 

must go on" - once you have 

begun, Despite lapses and 

distractions, due to audience 

involvement. S, Cocks, R. Gugno, 

P. Carter and others persevered to 

the end. Special mention for 

resourcefulness in the time of 

crisis - fnrgotten lines - must go 

to Matthew, "arch-villain", 

Hewelt. However commendation 

must be given to Mallhew Byrne 

whose portrayal of the loveable 

hero won high praise - curses the 

good guy wins again. 

Last, but certainly not least, was 

Room 15 with their production of 

"A I.lard Knight's Work". This 

comedy, set in medieval times, 

reenacted history as it should have 

been. Stephen Beers was excellent 

as the jovial king, who cared for 

his "voluptuous" Queen, Anthony 

Guiliani. Gavin Foster played the 

"alluring" princess whose heart 

was won bv the debonair Nick 

Campese. The other luckless 

knights were john Fell and Patrick 

Attard - Errol Flynn need not 

worry about these swordsmen. 

Michael Germech was the cunning 

executioner who dared to match 

wits with his king, while Brian 

Ellioll was the ever-efficient royal 

administrator. This play provided

an amusing finish to a thoroughly 

entertaining evening. 

Many individual performers 

have not been mentioned in this 

article but they should not be 

overlooked; the evening would 

have been disastrous witbout their 

contribution. Tbe same must be 

said of many people wbo assisted 

with the props. tbe lighting, sound 

effects and organisation. Finally, 

sludents were very appreciative of 

the assistance with make.up; 

sincere thanks to Mrs. Carson and 

1\Irs. Dawson. All that remains to 

be said is that the Drama Teachers 

were now left to worry about next 

year's headaches. 

Year 10 Drama 

Mime, movement, debating and 

play.writing are tools of the 

dramatist. Mime plays a 

significant role in expression and 

in learning to appreciate the 

senses as vital tools in 

communication. Movement 

enhances rhythm within the 

student, which adds to 

confidence, whether it be on stage 

or socially. Debating increases 

confidence, speech and clear 

thinking. Play.writing is 

undertaken to link the words into 

action. Its close relationship with 

linguistic skills, serves to 

exemplify that Drama is a tool 

which can be used in many 

disciplines. Through role playing, 

characters, events and mere words 

on paper, come alive through the 

dramatist, and he identifies with 

and understands seemingly 

remote situations and characters. 

Part of the year's program is 

devoted to preparing for the public 

performance of plays. The purpose 

is to entertain through the 

interpretation of characters. The 

boys learn much about themselves 

because it is part of themselves 

which breathes life into a paper 

character. Such a public 

performance occurred on the tenth 

of October in the College 

Theatrette. 

The Room 18 Drama class began 

their performance with the music 

of "Sofewoy New Faces". John 

Donohue was the Bert Newton 

look alike with Owen Abrahams 

and Darren Buckley (John 

McMahon and Bobby Limb) 

respectively. Act 1 saw a very Elvis 

Presley style Bernard Clifford with 

the swinging "Prophets" 

rhythmically lurking in the 

background. John McEnroe, alias 

Stewart Lenis gave one of his 

tantrums in Act 2. Patrick "The 

Place Punter" Roe gave an 

excellent commentary, until the 

SEC, namely Trevor Zwarts, 

decided to close down the power. 

Patrick, however, was not aware of 

the power cut, and covered up 

extremely well ... "Jack and the 

Headbangers" vibrated the 

theatrette with "The Other 

Woman." The show was won by 

act 3, Patrick Roe, and the 

encouragement award was given 

to Bernard Clifford, the lead singer 

of "Rabbi and the Prophets". See 

you next week. 

Room 17 presented two 

productions for this year's Drama 

night. "The Lonely Grave" a radio 

play, endeavoured to entertain 

through the use of speech only. 

This seemed to be quite successful 

judging by the reaction of the 

audience. The other play was of 

course a comedy, and if the 

laughter was any indication of the 

performance. then it was also 

successful. Although I feel some of 

the laughter was directed to the 

actors - rather than the action. 

The presentation of Room 20's 

plays were also to tbeir credit. The 

comedy of "Blue Murder" 

55 

although a little weak. was dealt 

with well by the actors. 20's 

attempt at serious drama through 

"The Assassination" had the 

audience on the edge of their seats, 

waiting for the plot to be 

unravelled. The boys are to be 

commended for the maturity in 

their handling of the script. 

The Final Performance, began 

with the heartbeat of "The 

Machine", while ihe humans were 

constructing them, in order to 

protect themselves from the 

aliens. "The Machines" however 

had different ambitions. They 

went on a rampage of death and 

destruction - with the ultimate 

aim of destroying mankind. 

Humans. such as Lino Renda. 

Mark Drew and Anthony Lappin 

were crucified, and many more 

were killed in battle. With the 

hope of Peter Brown and the 

courage of David Callahan, 

goodness prevailed and "The 

Machines" perished under the 

intense glow and feeling of "The 

Force". In other words - the 

"goodies" won. 

Thanks to the Mothers who 

made the costumes, and to Mrs. 

Dawson and Mrs. Hayes, who 

helped with the make. up and to 

Mr. Shoebridge and Mr. Marchio 

for their support. Special thanks to 

Mrs. Carson for her assistance with 

the dancing and make-up.

Parade College Careers and Transition 

Education Program 

Many students at Parade can 

possibly anticipate being alive in 

the year 2062 AD. When one 

considers the enormous changes 

that have occurred since 

Federation and takes into account 

the accelerating rate of change that 

seems likely to continue over the 

next 81 years, only those who are 

prepared, informed and adaptable 

[and active) can hope to 

successfully cope. 

Il has been suggested that, of the 

occupations that will exist at the 

turn of the century, approximately 

half to two-thirds do not even exist 

yet. let alone possess a name. The 

rate of new technological 

development and introduction 

into the workplace is proceeding 

quietly and speedily. with little or 

no community discussion as to 

who will benefit and how. This 

lack of community involvement 

could leave many more people, 

without paid employment and/or, 

with reduced life opportunities 

and expectations. 

All of us, must therefore 

participate in any debates. at 

whatever level, concerning the 

future life options of school 

leavers in particular, and others in 

the community in general, if we 

wish to see a society that 

maximises rather than minimises 

occupational and social choices. 

Today, of course, the range and 

depth of choice is far more diverse, 

than in the past. For some, the 

possibility of finding a fulfilling 

occupation, more in harmony with 

personal needs and capacities is 

great. 

For each person the difficulty 

lies in determining firstly what is 

fulfilling and secondly matching 

the various personal attributes and 

qualities with a suitable career 

choice. 

At Parade if a boy should 

demonstrate a certain overall 

tendency towards artistic/creative 

interests, for instance, it may bean 

idea for him to consider and 

investigate any of the following 

occupations: Actor, Architect, 

Author, Cartographer, Ceramic 

Designer, Conductor, Curator (Art 

Gallery), Fashion Designer, Film 

and Television Producer or 

Director, Gold and Silversmith, 

Graphic ArtistlDesigner, 

Musician, MusicTherapist, Poller, 

Photographer, Industrial 

Designer, Interior Designer. 

Landscape Designer, Playwright, 

Scriptwriter, Sculptor, Stage and 

Television Designer, Teacher of 

Arts and Crafts, Drama, Graphic 

Communication, Language and 

Literature, Med ia Studies, Music, 

Textile Designer, Town and 

Regional Planning. 

The above is just one of four 

groups of artistic/creative types of 

occupations listed. 

After some brief perusal of the 

information available on each of 

these careers he may decide that 

he would like to concentrate his 

allention on the architecture, 

industrial and interior design 

areas. More precise information. 

possibly work experience, could at 

this stage, be arranged. With 

greater awareness he may decide 

that he either docs not like or may 

not meet the requirements for 

these careers, or thinks he would 

love to go on to fill the necessary 

prerequisites to enter these 

careers. 

The follnwing quote by Pope 

Paul VI outlines the challenge 

each of us has in life and clarifies 

the role of careers education bv 

highlighting the goals a good' 

careers education program should 

aim for. 

"[n the design of God, every man 

is called upon to develop and fulfil 

himself, for every life is a vocation. 

At birth, everyone is granted, in 

germ, a set of aptitudes and 

qualities for him to bring to 

fruition. Their coming to maturity 

which will be the result of 

education received from the 

environment and personal efforts, 

will allow each man to direct 

himself towards the destiny 

intended for him by his Creator". 

Everyone is different. 

With individual sets of 

"aptitudes and qualities" it 

56 

Sludents and parenls {)sk ahout a career in 

the Air Force at the careers information 

exchange evening. 

follows that each person would 

tend tn find some occupations 

more satisfying than others. A 

person has a greater chance of 

finding these fulfilling 

occupations, to "direct himself 

toward the destiny intended for 

him by his Creator" and to 

"develop and fulfil himself" If he 

first understands and recognises 

his own blend of aptitudes and 

qualities. 

One of the main prerequisites of 

a good careers program is 

therefore the theme "know 

yourself" (for example: Does your 

son have a greater interest in any of 

the fnllowing types of 

occupations?) 

1. Creative/ Artistic 

2. Clerical! Admin.! 

Organisational 

3. Community Service 

4. Computational 

5. Engineering/Technical 

6. Manual/Practical 

7. Outdoor 

8. Scientific/ Analytical 

9. Literary 

10. Medical 

11. Personal Contacts 

Another important prerequisite 

is the provision of relevant

information on each occupation 

and/or related course that a 

student may be interested in. This 

is available through the Careers 

Centre and includes displays. 

talks, video and audio tapes, 

pamphlets and easy access notes 

on each occupation and related 

course. Personal assistance from 

and discussion with the Careers 

Adviser is also readily available. 

The down to earth side of the 

Careers Education program is 

work experience - where job 

seeking skills and work attitudes 

are developed. 

Introduction - A Work 

Experience Definition 

Work Experience involves: 

(a) The participation by a school 

student in the activities of: 

(i) a place or piaces of work or 

[ii) an organisation or 

organisations performing 

an educational. charitable 

or community welfare 

service not conducted for 

profit, as part of his formai 

education in which his 

role is that of a learner. 

Experiencing at First Hand 

Th is partici pation is by formal 

arrangement for limited periods in 

accordance with the provisions of 

the Education (Work Experience) 

Act 1974 (No. 8659). 

(b) Consideration, analysis and 

discussion by the student, in 

the school, of the various ideas 

and insights generated by the 

work experience program, as 

these relate to the many 

complex, social, economic 

and political issues that may 

[suddenly?) have become 

more relevant and 

meaningful. 

This definition implies that the 

school's work experience program 

is not something "tacked on" to 

the school's curriculum: it is an 

integra! part of the curricuium, as 

relevant to each individuai subject 

as the school and the student make 

it. 

General Aims of 

Work-Experience 

(a) VOCATIONAL: Work 

experience provides students with 

work and observational 

experience in occupational areas 

in which they are interested. 

W1lich table next? O\'er 55 different 

occupations and courses were available 01 

the careers information cxchon~wevening. 

The experience should provide 

participants with the opportunity 

to make an assessment of their 

abilities and deficiencies in 

relation to specific and general 

occupational skills. Hopefully, 

this experience would heighten 

the individual's awareness of the 

role that education plays in 

equipping him for a rapidly 

changing occupational scene 

perhaps giving him greater 

meaning incentive toward 

improving subject marks and work 

attitudes. 

(b) EDUCATIONAL:Asan 

activity that greatly extends the 

potential experience that students 

can gain during their school life, 

work experience allows, through 

first hand observation and 

interaction with the work 

environment, greater insight into 

what it means to work. 

This insight is not only into the 

new (work) role the student has 

adopted and the adaptation 

ramifications of this (e.g. change 

of responsibilities, isolation from 

usual peer group, different 

physical and mental setting, etc.). 

but it also involves the student in 

gaining an appreciation of a 

current social environment of 

work and the likely expanding 

impact of technological change on 

work environments of the future. 

Students could also engage in 

"Research Projects" to enhance 

and reinforce their insights, With 

the help of a related subject 

teacher, students may for example 

examine the role of unions: write 

an essay on the history of the 

57 

Australian Legal System: describe 

the manufacturing process 

involved in ... etc. 

Bringing the community at large 

and the school into closer contact 

allows greater feedback and 

insight into the effectiveness and 

relevance of the educational 

program offered to our students 

that may highlight the need for 

continuing re-examination. 

Objectives 

Enhancement of personal 

development 

Career exploration 

Real life extension of 

classroom learning activities. 

In other words: 

Complementing other 

curriculum activities, the work 

experience program should 

provide students with chances to 

explore personal competencies 

and vocational aspirations and 

through this-cnOW' 

Hopes 

It is understood that students 

who have participated will: 

when Ihey leave school. have a 

better operating knowledge of 

the world of work around 

them than they would have 

possessed had their studies 

been conducted at a purely 

second-hand level. 

make more realistic choices 

about their own jobs having a 

greater understanding of their 

own aims and match these 

with the various 

considerations involved in 

choosing a job. 

stay longer in regular jobs 

(than non-participants) 

because of their greater critical 

ability to discern a more 

appropriate career. 

have their interest in studies 

enhanced by the practical 

nature of work experience. 

show greater determination in 

pursuit of an educational 

standard necessary for a 

specific job as a result. 

be stimulated to further 

written work (more varied 

experiences from which to 

draw).

horizons opened up for them. 

develop their confidence. 

by their participation 

encourage increased liaison 

between schools and 

employers (the broader 

community as a whole). 

Considerations 

Even though all students over 13 

years of age are eligible to 

participate in work experience 

programs the potential numbers 

and the limitations of community 

resources make some kind of 

selection process necessary. A 

guide to the priorities considered 

essential is as follows: 

Senior students who are 

unable or unwilling to pursue 

their studies and are anxious 

to explore job opportunities or 

other forms of"training", 

Potential early school ieavers 

may need to be exposed to the 

conditions in the labour 

market to give them an 

indication of the preparedness 

for whatever life may hold for 

them if they decide to leave 

school. 

The mildly or moderateiy 

intellectually handicapped 

and the physically and 

sensorily handicapped may 

need particular assistance to 

develop independence and 

the job oriented skills. 

Gruups such as migrants (and 

refugees] and aborigines 

whose language and cuitural 

differences sumetimes limit 

vocational adjustment. 

Students who lack confidence 

or who need to develop a sense 

of responsibility and/or 

interpersonal skills. 

Puul Seduflnry bounces into uclion as u 

primary teacher's aide on Iyork experience 

o! St. Pius. 

Also. although students may be 

legally eligible to undergo work 

experience, consideration should 

be given to their readiness to do so 

including tbeir social and 

emotional maturity. Ideally, 

consideration needs to be given to 

the best ways of involving a 

broadly representative group on 

the running and overseeing uftbe 

program. Students, parents, 

community representatives and 

staff would be encouraged to 

participate in the development of 

the program. The benefit of tbis 

involvement (increased 

commitment, communication and 

understanding by all parties), 

would far outweigh the efforts 

required to foster this 

involvement, and would result in 

the growth and develupment of 

the program leading to the 

eventual fruition of its aims, 

objectives and hopes. 

Conclusiun 

A Careers Education Program is 

therefore of a long term nature: 

58 

where a student's awareness uf 

himself and his own "vocation" is 

fostered, Where a student's "set of 

aptitudes and qualities is 

encouraged to develop and grow 

to fruition." An mvareness 

developed by such a program 

would then allow "each man to 

direct himself toward the destiny 

intended for him by his Creator", 

Also it would seem that a gaud 

program would assist people in 

making an assessment oftheir own 

abilities and deficiences helping 

them to recognise their own worth 

as a person so that a worthwhile 

career choice is eventually made, 

Also we offer students the 

Parade College Careers Guidance 

Service, This is made up of parents 

and friends of the College who 

make themselves available, by 

appointment, to discuss their 

occupation "in depth" with 

individuai students, or, to groups 

of students. 

The process and requirements of 

transition from school to 

post-school life, with all its 

association considerations and 

necessary skills, is also being 

investigated. By early 1983 we 

hope to be evaluating various 

ways of: 

Ex-Students 

Students 

Parents 

Staff 

Employers 

Universities and other 

post-school education 

institutions etc. regarding the 

post-school life issues and 

transition skills required for a 

smooth transition, This 

evaluation will then enable us 

to clearly examine the 

integration of Careers and 

Transition into the 

Curriculum. 

I would like to add that any 

suggestions, ideas, feelings or 

thoughts offered with regard to 

careers and/or work experiences 

would be much appreciated. Any 

questions, interest or assistance in 

relation to any aspect of the 

program would also be most 

welcome. 

Thank you,

To be pari of Ihe ruggedly 

beautiful and specfacular Snowy 

Mountain area, near Bucban, in 

South Gippsland for ten days. and 

to be totally oblivious to all that is 

going on in the city can only be 

described adequalely by those that 

have experienced it. 

For the second year Parade Year 

11 students look the six hour bus 

journey to Basin Creek and met 

their Outward Bound Instructors. 

Assembled in brilliant sunshine. 

that was to last the full course. the 

introductions 

boys collected 

were made and the 

their rucksacks. 

sheetliners. sleeping bags. bivvy 

sheets and cords. waterbottles. 

cooking utensils and other 

necessary items that would allow 

them to spend their time 

navigating and experiencing the 

beauty of the bush. 

Students had had three 

preparatory walks during their 

sports afternoons to determine for 

themselves the suitability of 

equipment and clothing they 

would be taking with them. Once 

in the bush most found the first 

few days cballenging. 

The deciphering of the ridges, 

gullies, spurs, saddles and creek 

crossings was a new experience. 

and one that needed mastering 

before the final expedition, 

Bushwalking, setting up camps. 

getting the fire going. cooking. 

digging a bush toilet and using 

water wisely were all part of the 

camp. and after having meals with 

various groups it was easy to see 

that some groups were mastering 

these basic details better than 

others. 

Each group experienced the 

thrills of rock climbing and 

abseiling (some 47 metres) (and 

those that were game to look 

enjoyed the views.) As well as 

completing an orienteering course 

all boys tackled the ropes course. 

Students were taught to [belay) 

each other and Ihis fostered 

responsibility and co-operations. 

Afler spending Saturday night 

at Jackson's Crossing all groups 

assembled for Mass on Sunday 

morning in front of Cathedral 

Rock. Amidst this tranquil setting, 

not 100 m from the Snowy River 

the boys asked for help and 

guidance on Iheir 2 day final 

expedition, 

Prior to the Final expedition 

there would he a few exciting and 

exhilarating rides down the 

Snowy by raft and lilo (and a few 

kilometres of slow and steady 

walking!) Students were shown 

the essentials of waterproofing 

their gear, and food. and once this 

was completed the groups set 

about paddling downstream to 

their final drop off poinls. Here (at 

the drop off points) each group

would divide into three smaller 

groups and taking food and 

provisions they would follow 

separale routes for two days 

unaccompanied by an Outward

At the end of their 2 days by 

themselves in the bush the 

students all arrived safely al the 

final destination where equipment 

would be returned and Brother

the boys before their long journey 

home.

Year 7 & 8 

Orientation 

Camps 

February, 1982 

During February 1982, each 

class at ERC enjoyed three days of 

Orientation Camps. These camps 

involved the sharing and 

co-operation between each class 

member to develop the bond of 

friendship and companionship for 

the coming year. 

Many of the school facilities 

were used during the camp. The 

canoes and the Dam, Tennis 

Courts and the Swimming Pool as 

well as the Gym and Ovals were 

used. The activities help each 

student to participate fully. 

During the Year Seven Camps. 

Brother Wright introduced them 

to the College, by taking them 

around the school for a day. The 

Year Eight's did an extensive tour 

of the ERC farm. 

On the last day each class 

celebrated Mass in the ERC 

Chapel. Hopefully the friendship 

and enjoyment experienced 

during the camp will continue 

throughout the coming year. 

Year 7 and 8 Term 

Camps 

Date: October/November 1982 

Venue: Year 8: Warrandyte State 

Park; Year 7: Janefield property. 

Outstanding Students: Year 8: B. 

Greco, D. Sexton, P. W. Smith. 

General 


The Year 8 students were 

involved in 2 day camps, with 

sporting and recreational 

activities held at school on Day 1. 

The boys were then driven by bus 

to Warrandyte State Park, where 

they camped with Room Masters 

and Mr. Dulke. Despite our tent 

pitching practice at school. several 

of the boys' canvas constructions 

at Warrandyte, proved to be highly 

susceptible to the elements. Many 

boys found the cooking of meals, a 

new and foreign challenge: for 

example, baked beans were boiled, 

still in the tin! Camp activities 

included a Scavenger hunt, 

hiking, compass reading, Prayer 

session, first aid and bushcraft 

lecture and a talk by the Park 

Ranger, accompanied by his pet 

womhat. Day 2 was spent 

exploring the historic area of the 

Warrandyte township, cleaning 

up after the camp, and travelling 

back to school for Cricket and 

Swimming. Mr. Hanrahan 

achieved fame and notoriety for 

his campfire elephant jokes, Bro. 

Meehl won the Insomniacs award, 

and Mr. Wall supplemented his 

meagre diet with croissants 

(French pastries) from the 

Warrandyte delicatessen. 

The Year 7 boys hiked with 

backpacks across the Janefield 

property and visited the Lower 

Plenty Gorge. Some new and 

inventive methods of pack loading 

were used, and the group was 

forced to stop at intervals, to allow 

the "unfortunates" to collect their 

trail of dropped articles. Many 

boys similarly found the cooking 

to be a complex task and were seen 

studyin~ the instructions on can 

and paCKet labels. The boys 

enjoyed the break from the normal 

school routine, and benefited 

socially and educationally from 

the camping experience. 

Mr. H.Dulke 

YEAR 9 

CAMPS 

(i) "Getting 

to know You". 

Early in February the four Year 9 

classes headed by bus to the 

Bellarine Peninsula to participate 

in our orientation camps. The aim 

of these camps is for each person to 

get to know the other people in his 

class. In the relaxed atmosphere of 

our seaside environs we managed 

to fulfil our aim. Most of the time 

was left unstructured-we simply 

had fun in the sand, surf and sun 

and got to know each other. Then, 

after two and a half days it was 

back to Parade where the real work 

was to be done. 

(ii) When compared to our 

orientation camp, the camp held at 

Fraser National Park in late 

61 

October was quite demanding. For 

a start, we were located in a 

semi-forest environment in quite 

hilly terrain on the shores of a 

drought-stricken lake. After 

climbing Keg Spur we now know 

why Blowhard Ridge is so named! 

We worked to fairly stricl 

timetables and the tasks we 

performed were physically 

demanding. Hiking, Kayaking, 

Orienteering or swimming we 

seemed to be always on the move. 

Some of us had to hike 3 kIll each 

way for a shower! 

However. as an exercise in 

co-operation, shared living, and 

determination to see a task 

completed, most would feel the 

experience was well worth the 

effort. 

There is nothing like a camp to 

make us appreciate home! 

Year 10 Camp 


Year 10 began on a coo! nole 

which was definitely in contrast to 

the hot humid Victorian summer. 

In the second week of school in 

1982 all of Year 10 staff and 

students - set off for the Bellarine 

Peninsula for our Orientation 

Camps. The camp sites were in 

caravan parks at Ocean Grove, 

Breamley, Barwon Heads and 

Anglesea. We were blessed with 

marvellous weather and everyone 

agreed that it was a wonderful way 

to start the New Year. The brief 

two and a half days was a perfect 

opportunity for students and staff 

to get to know each other and to 

prepare for the work that lay 

ahead. 

The last week of June and the 

first week in July saw the Year 10 

students heading out for their 

annual camps. Rooms 18 and 19 

went to Belgrave and Rooms 17 

and 20 went to Mt. Evelyn. The 

activities of these sites involved 

bike-riding, canoeing and 

bushwalking. By the end of the 

week, very fit groups of students 

had also mastered the fairly 

difficult task of preparing and 

cooking a meal for forty of their 

own fairly critical peer groups. 

The bike ride to the camp sites 

was an arduous task. One Year 10

student captured the spirit of the 

ride in his final English exam. 

The Short Long Hills of Belgrave 

The most remarkable cycle ride 

that I can recall is the ride to 

Belgrave Heights. I started al the 

second checkpoint at Warrandyte 

and I had already ridden twenty 

kilometres, by that time I was 

there. I had miscalculated how 

long it would take me to arrive 

there, so I was in for a long 

welcomed wait hefore some other 

boys came along. 

After a long wait two boys. Peter 

t\therton and John Donohue 

turned up at the checkpoint and I 

headed off with them. 

We didn't exactly set a blistering 

pace bu 1 we were becoming closer 

to our destination bit by bit, 

stopping at every shop in sight, 

Several times we became lost and 

we had to ask people for directions 

but no one seemed to know the 

roads we were supposed to take. 

We were wandering around trying 

to find out our locations when who 

should we run into but Laurence 

Pika. We accepted him as our 

navigator because he seemed to 

know where to go. 

Eventually he led us to 

Ringwood where we had a well 

earned rest. After a while some 

internal instinct seemed to get us 

on OUf way again. An hour or so 

later we arrived at Belgrave and we 

were well and truly lost. Pika, the 

navigator, led us to many dead 

ends at the expense of our stamina. 

Finally he said, "I've got it" and 

we headed off again. We went 

down a long hill, but then we came 

to a long, steep hill. According to 

the directions given by Mr. 

Jennings we were to go up a short 

steep hill. So we called this hill a 

short long steep hill. Halfway up 

the hill we were on the brink of 

mutiny. We were about to make 

Pika walk the plank. Then along 

came Mr. Jennings and he told us 

that we were nearly there. About 

half an hour later we arrived at the 

camp and almost dropped from 

exhaustion. 

62

Walkathon 1982 

The Parade Walkathon again 

showed the interest in and desire 

to help those in need that has been 

a feature of students of Parade 

during the last decade when over 

$100,000 has been raised and 

donated to others, 

While this is commendable we 

l11ustall ensure that our efforts are 

not mere tokens but real 

endeavours to carry alit the 

Christian Message of sharing our 

goods with others.

Edmund Rice 

Camps 

The concept of Edmund Rice 

Camps was developed by a group 

of Brothers and Senior students in 

1980. The idea was to give to 

deprived children a week's 

holiday during the Christmas 

vacation. This year the camps 

were held at Santa Monica - The 

camp of SI. Augustine's Boys' 

Horne in Geelong. Twenty or so of 

our senior students supervised 

some sixty boys in two camps each 

of a week's duration. Finance was 

provided by the Parade 

Walkathon. We can indeed be 

proud of this service we have 

offered to those less fortunate than 

ourselves. 

The concept of Edmund Rice 

Camps has expanded and this year 

three camps will be run and while 

Parade still provides the basis of 

the camp leaders SI. Leo's, Box 

Hill, SI. Bernard's, Essendon and 

SI. Joseph's, North Melbourne 

have all joined forces to provide a 

combined effort for children who 

need help. 

Perhaps the most pleasing 

aspect is that the camp organisers 

are now ex-pupils of Paradeyoung 

men willing to give their 

time and effort to help others.

Instrumental 

Music 

G. Walton 

Tuition in Instrumental Music 

started this term. being given for 

Saxophone. Clarinet and Trumpet. 

The only instruments available are 

privately owned and they arc 

being used by interested pupils in 

Forms 9 and 10. There will be 

individual tuition at first, then as 

pupils progress they will combine 

to form sections and finally bands. 

The school will purchase 

instruments for the 1983 school 

year, when tuition can be 

extended to Years 7 and 8. 

Musical teamwork will be 

emphasised, and pupils involved 

will be given the experience of 

playing for such occasions as 

Dances, Musical Productions, 

Concerts elc. 

Debating 

During 1982 Parade competed 

in the Apex Debating 

Competition, the Victorian 

Singles Debating Competition and 

the Rotary Debating Competition. 

Boys from Years 10 and 11 

presented skilful single debates 

and were highly commended for 

their efforts, especially as it was 

their first attempt at this type of 

debate. Paul Spizziri (Year 11) and 

Andrew Kuppe (Year 11) had to 

debate against each other in the 

quarter finals with Paul 

proceeding through to the 

semi-finals where he was 

eliminated. Boys from Year 10also 

competed in the quater finals with 

Matthew Boek being eliminated 

also in the semi-finals. Boys from 

Year 10 were M. Bock, G. O'Reilly, 

C. O'Rourke and John Houlihan. 

Gary O'Reilly was to be 

congratulated as it was his first 

effort at debating. 

In the Apex competition Parade 

was unfortunate to meet the State 

winners from last year in the first 

round. While defeated, we were 

not disgraced and the judges 

commented on the excellent 

standard, Students participating 

were P. Spizziri, Andrew Kuppe 

and Ryan Irwin. 

The following students 

competed in the two debates with 

the Rotary Club, P. Spizziri, R. 

Irwin, Matthew O'Brien, P. Fahey 

and Andrew Kuppe. On the night 

of his first debate Paul Fahey was 

named "Speaker of the Night", 

Ihis was after a most impressive 

performance.

Cricket 1st XI 

The season was not a successful 

one for Parade. The team finished 

down the ladder in 7th position. 

However the season was 

interrupted by rain - there being 

four games washed out. Therefore 

the true ability of the Parade 

players was not shown. 

The team was capahly lead by 

Gerald Dowling [Captain) and 

David Jackson [V.Captain] who 

provided the backbone for the 

team. The encouraging aspect to 

come out of the season was the fine 

form from the 4th form members of 

the team, Paul Fahey, Marcus 

Barher, Michael Newell, and Paul 

Murphy. 

The Awards for the Year went to: 

Gerald Dowling - Batting 

David Jackson - Bowling. 

Outstanding Performances for the 

Year were: 

Balting: Jackson 59 [V. Salesians), 

Dowling 70, Fahey 52 n.o. De La

P. Rubinl 

Captain- P. Burgess- 

Best All-round Performance- 

D.Keating 

In a small competition-4 

teams - Parade proved successful 

despite what proved to be quite a 

competitive season. From the six 

matches Parade recorded five 

wins. I believe that Parade fielded 

the best team in the competition, 

but circumstances seemed to 

prevent individuals performing 

together to the best of their ability 

on the same day. Nevertheless, on 

the positive side of things, there 

were many fine efforts from 

various individuals throughout 

the season. 

The following batsmen - Paul 

Stevens, Tim Beare, Matthew 

Power, Damian Keating and Nick 

Murphy all averaged above 20 

runs. This is very commendable 

when players have to retire at 

thirty. Aside from these players, 

others also made at least one score 

of thirty or more; they were Paul 

Burgess and Peter Carter. Paul 

Stevens topped the batting 

averages with a very creditable 

average of 38. However 

undoubtedly the highlight of 

season came from Paul Burgess 

who clubbed 48 - 8 sixes, - in a 

total of 212. Paul had had to retire 

after scoring 30 off just six balls 

but returned in the last over. 

The bowlers were certainly not 

to be outdone and there were some 

very fine performances from many 

players. The bowlers were very 

ably led by Paul Burgess who 

bowled 31 overs and captured 10 

wickets at a cost of 85 runs. Paul 

Shannon provided tremendous 

supports taking 8 for 86 

throughout the season. However 

the bowling average was won by 

Damian Keating who bowled both 

spin, and medium pace. Although 

Damian only captured 6 for 44 he 

gained vital wickets at times when 

the team was struggling or needed 

a break. Dean Ireland bowled 

impressively in the last two games 

taking 3 for only 12 runs. The 

following bowlers took 3 or more 

wickets in an innings -Paul 

Burgess [twice), D. Keating, T. 

Beare and Paul Shannon. It was 

Paul Shannon who provided the 

highlight of the season for the 

bowlers; in his first game he took a 

hat-trick. 

Ourfielding perhaps could have 

been better but some players were 

very reliable and deserve a 

mention. The throwing and 

catching ofD. Keating, A. Barro, T. 

Beare and D. Ireland was always of 

a very high standard. Finally I 

believe the team was well led hy 

Paul Burgess and Damian Keating; 

their performances speak for 

themselves. 

In conclusion I would like to 

thank all parents who lent their 

support to the team and/or 

assisted in ferrying the boys to 

games that we played away from 

Parade. 

Under 13A 

Cricket 

Congratulations to the 15 boys 

who played this year. Of the 6 

games, we won 4 and lost one 

game by one run. This excellent 

performance had us finishing 

fourth in a competition of 8 teams. 

Each of the boys played at least 3 

games and 13 actually bowled in a 

match. The captaincy was shared 

by four boys during the season: 

Frank Ciampa (2), Stephen Philp 

(2). Ross Aanensen (1) and Stewart 

Wood (1). 

There were some fine 

performances by various 

individuals throughout the 

season. 

Batting Averages: Stewart Wood 

- 82 runs in 3 inningsincluding 

30 retired against SI. 

Kilda which was a fine, 

courageous knock-Ave. 82. 

Paul Zappa - 6 innings including 

3 where he retired at 30 - total of 

122 runs. Ave. 40. 

In all 5 boys were compulsorily 

retired at 30 during the course of 

the six matches - the above two 

plus - Garry Scott, Stephen Philp 

and Martin Fitzmaurice. 

Bowling Averages: Bowling 

honours -like the batting were 

equally shared around by the boys. 

Some of the more outstanding 

performances were: 

Frank Ciampa - 4 for 16 against 

Preston 

Paul Donoghue - 3 for 8 against 

De La Salle 

Grant Marshall- 2 for 6 against 

De La Salle

Mr. J. Seymour 

Br. Walsh 

We started off well with three 

straight wins. In the fourth game, 

we played our 'A' side and were 

defeated after our hardest match. 

Our coach Mr. Seymour led us 

through the season with ooly two 

losses. We had a good solid team 

with good bowlers and strong 

batsmen. 

There were two losses during 

the season and one of these was 

against SI. Bernards, the eventual 

winners of the competition. 

At the end of the six garnes, we 

finished second on the ladder with 

oustaoding performances by Nick 

Puccio (142 runs) and (12 

wickets). Glenn Boyd [112 runs) 

and Laurie Di Palma [10 wickets}. 

In all we had a successful 

enjoyable season.

Under 12 Cricket 

The Under 12 cricket season 

started well, when over 

twenty-five students arrived for 

the first training session. The first 

game was against De La Salle. 

Parade dismissed them for only 75 

with Stephen Lynch laking 3 for 8 

and Andrew Philp bowling 

brilliantly. Parade scored the runs 

easily and won by eight wickets. 

Lynch made 26 and Tim Livy was 

undefeated on 16. In the second 

round Parade made 126 wi th 

Lynch 31 n.O., Hewett 33 n.n. and 

Livy 18. Parade bowled well with 

Lynch taking 4 for 6 and Philp 3 for 

7 to dismiss the opposition for 95. 

Our next match was against De 

La Salle B. In a great team 

performance De La were 

dismissed for 76 with Livy, Philp 

and Lynch bowling well. Parade 

made the runs with no loss with 

newcomer Phil Herridge making 

30 n.o. and Lynch 28 n.o. Parade 

forced De La to bat again taking 

four wickets, three of them going 

to Tim Livy. 

One of the hardest matches for 

the season was against C.B.C. SI. 

Kilda. They were dismissed for 

123 with Lynch taking 5 for 12. 

Parade started well with Lynch 

making 29, Herridge 27 and Terry 

Keays, a new addition. 33 n.o. The 

middle order crashed only to be 

rescued by Damian Iapuzzota 24 

and Paul Honey 29 n.o. to give 

Parade a win. 

The final match was against 

Alphington B. Parade was in 

lrouble when both openers were 

dismissed cheaply. Captain Sam 

Hewett made a gutsy 32 n.o. and 

Jerry Keays a magnificent 42 n.O. 

Good support was given by 

Anthony Corboy and Andrew 

Philp. Alphington were dismissed 

for only 40 and Parade added a 

further 66 runs. 

Congratulations to the team on 

an excellent effort to win the 

premiership.

1st XVIII 

Captain's Report 

Warren 

Richards 

After two years of a Parade 1st 

XVIII winning consecutive A.e.C. 

Premierships, and two years of 

great performances in the "Herald 

Shield" the 1st XVIII of 1982 was 

confronted with meeting the 

expectations of many people 

which was to perform as well as 

the 1980 and 1981 sides. With the 

Premiership Coach Hr. Bilstonand 

many Form 5 players in the side, 

we entered into the 1982 season in 

Mid-March. 

The early rounds of the "Herald 

Shield" saw Parade winning 

comfortably with easy victories 

over Reddon College and 

Heidelberg High. Our next two 

games were within four days of 

each otber as we played our 

physically toughest game on a 

Monday against Presion East High 

winning by sheer determination, 

then the five hour bus trip to 

Hamilton was to follow on that 

Thursday. This game was to 

decide the representatives of 

Collingwood at V.F.L. Park on the 

following Tuesday night. The 

Monivae Team proved to be too 

good for Parade and we were well 

beaten leaving the side with a 

painful bus ride back home. 

However the possibility of 

becoming the first college ever to 

win three A.e.C. Premierships in a 

row was enough to make the team 

bounce back and play excellent 

football that the side was capable 

of. 

This excellent football was 

evident when we played the 

leading South Australian 

Schoolboy side, Rostrevor 

College, over the first term 

holidays, with the team producing 

amazing football wbich was to 

stun both the opposition and the 

crowd. This was to be our biggest 

victory of the season and with the 

beginning of the A.C.e. 

competition was Parade playing 

very inconsistently as we were to 

be beaten by Essendon for the first 

time in five years in a terrible 

performance but then in contrast, 

four weeks later we defeated the 

runner-up in the "Herald Shield", 

St. Bede's in what many described 

as our best effort for the season in 

adverse weather conditions. 

This seemed to be the general 

trend of the side for most of the 

year and in my opinion if we could 

have played to our full capabilities 

in all matches then we may have 

seen the lights at V.F.L. Park and 

another A.C.C. Premiership 

Pennant hanging proudly in the 

College Gym. At the end of the 

season we finished mid.field in 

the A.e.C. with congratulations 

going to the Premiers North 

Melbourne. 

My personal appraisal and 

thanks goes to all the players who 

contributed throughout the year 

representing Parade. 

For every team to function 

properly, the "behind the scenes" 

people who do much of the work 

in preparation and maintenance of 

the side must be congratulated. 

Much of this credit goes to 

Br. Bilston who did an extremely 

admirable job as coach. I would 

also like to thank Grant Whiteside 

(Manager and Statistician), Phil 

Goulding [Boundary Umpire) 

Imre Sagi [Runner), Damian 

Casamento [Goal Umpire) and 

Brendan O'Shea and Craig 

Backway who were our reliable 

medics. My thanks is also 

extended to the interest shown by 

the staff, students and parents who 

gave their much appreciated 

support. 

I will always be honoured that I 

was able to Captain a side such as 

ours and my best wishes go to all 

future Parade Teams.

Hewett led the team superbly 

throughout with some excellent 

individual performances and was 

ably assisted by Clelus Blake who 

also played well throughout. 

Overall. Ihe season was not quite 

as good as J would have expected 

but [was very pleased with the 

way the team finished after our 

very poor start. and the 

performances of the Form 3 

students towards the end. As a 

result I think we can look forward 

to nexl season with a great deal of 

hope. 

U 14A Football 

P. Rubira 

Although there were a few 

teams in the "A" division of the 

U14 competition. the learns 

proved to be evenly matched. 

Parade suffered two losses. both 

away. to Preston and 5t. Kilda. On 

both occasions Parade was gallant 

in defeat and perhaps unfortunate 

to lose. In the first game of the 

season. against Preston. Parade 

staged a tremendous comeback 

after half-time but inaccurate 

kicking cost us the game. However 

this loss only heightened the 

endeavour of the team for the 

remainder of the season. 

The most satisfying victory 

came in the second last game of the 

season. when the team refused to 

lower their colours to Preston. 

Although there were omissions 

due to the "Flu epidemic". Parade 

78 

battled hard. with only 17 men for 

over half the game. Eventually. 

Parade. playing as a team. 

demoralized their opponents in 

the last quarter and recorded a 

convincing victory. 

The stage was set for a very 

competitive grand final between 

ourselves and Preston. 

Unfortunately Parade lost two 

valuable players before the game 

while Preston appeared to have 

"regrouped". Preston proved too 

strong. in the end. but were never 

assured of victory. Althougb 

'out-manned'. by the Preston boys. 

the Parade team fought to the very 

end and were certainly not 

disgraced. It is a pity that we did 

not play at our best. but 

congratulations must go to 

Preston. 

As coach. I would like to thank 

the ever-enthusiastic parents for 

their support and assistance. 

Messieurs Burgess, Walls. Peyton. 

Croall. Gallagher. and others.

all on the same points with only

After a very disappointing start 

to the season - we lost the 

opening two games - the boys 

settled down to a solid team. Some 

excellent performances were 

shown against De La Salle, Preston 

and Alphington. 

The captain: Stephen Philp, and 

his team played the game each

Mr. Wall 

After a bad start to the season, 

the team bored in with enthusiasm 

and endeavour. The smaller 

players, led by Daniel Canil and 

some gutsy performances by 

Laurie Dipalma, continually 

outplayed physically bigger 

opponents. T. Flynn was 

outstanding, with consistently 

good form. In the latter half of the 

season the team play really came 

together with excellent wins 

against Pascoe Vale, CBC St. Kilda. 

Alphington and Sunbury. 

Revitalised by a dynamic 2 week 

coaching stint by motivational 

expert J. Seymour, the team 

capped off the season well.

Under 12 Football 

Mr. Guinane 

The Under 12 football season 

was a successful one. Parade lost 

only one game in the minor 

rounds. De La Salle defeated 

Parade by five goals. Four of the 

games were won by over twenty 

goals and the others were won 

very comfortably. The team 

trained very hard and their efforts 

were rewarded. 

Parade entered the Grand Final 

eager to avenge their previous 

defeat by De La Salle. On the only 

wet morning of the season Parade 

opened brilliantly with Terry 

Keays putting through the three 

goals. The ball was continually 

taken au t of the centre by Phil 

Herridge and Matthew Williams 

- two inspiring and skilful rovers. 

Tim Livy and Craig Hunniford 

were playing well in the forward 

line also. 

In the next quarter Parade 

kicked against the wind. Andrew 

Philp. Richard Di Natale. Craig 

Amour and Daniel Colombi were 

impassable. Parade actually 

outscored De La this quarter with 

some great teamwork to carry the 

ball forward. Tony Larosa and 

Julian McGrath were there to help 

capitalise on every opportunity. 

By the start of the third quarter 

Parade were well on top. Luciano 

Rocchiccioli and Mark Kelly were 

sending the ball forward from the 

centre square. Goals began to corne 

easily with long kicking and 

shepherding from players such as 

Matthew Vear and David Derek. 

Parade finished the quarter ten 

goa Is in fron t. 

The team relaxed a little in the 

last quarter. Vince Larosa and 

Mark Wolczko won the ball many 

times on their wings and Michael 

McKenna. Shane McDonald and 

Jarrard McLean did a fine job 

around the packs. It was an even 

quarter with Parade simply 

playing the game out. Jeff Bloom 

and Joseph Gauci were strong in 

defence. Ivano Simonetto. Robert 

Colbert and Greg Bonney. also 

played well during the year and 

were unlucky to miss the Final. 

It was a great team effort to win 

the Final by 72 points. A special 

word of thanks to Mr. Williams. 

Mr. Herridge and Mr. Colombi 

who acted as officials during the 

season and the team's many other 

supporters throughout the year.

The Parade Tennis 

Team 

The Parade Tennis team should 

be extremely proud of its efforts, 

when it won the Sectional Zone of 

the A.e.C. Tennis Competition. 

Captained by Mario Gattino, the 

team displayed a strong desire to 

win. Such a desire was seen when 

Damian Smith fought off a strong 

challenge to win 7-6. James Saretta 

fought back from 1-5 to win 7-5. 

North Melbourne's NO.1 player, 

Sal Valentino, who is one of the 

best in his age nroup in the State, 

had to play his best tennis to defeat 

Marcus Fisher 6-3 in a gruelling 

set. Well done Marcus!!! 

Not only did the Parade Team 

play to win, but the friendly, 

informal atmosphere and the 

tennis etiq uelle, between all the 

players of every team, made the 

day a great success. Well done. 

ALL performances by every player, 

are to be commended. 

The Team now looks forward to 

meeting the other Sectional 

Winner in the Zone Final. 

A. C. C. Tennis

Tennis Coaching 

It is refreshing in these days of 

boorish tennis players to see 

young players learning that tennis 

is a fun game. This message is 

constantly put before all pupils 

who enrol in Parade's tennis 

prngram. The game is fun, the 

challenge is to learn the correct 

way and to improve. 

82 

The growth of one's game is also 

fun - to learn new strokes, new 

spins and to develop variety in all 

dimensions of the game in order to 

command the court. A strict 

sy llabus and an adherence to the 

correct procedure are the 

:nechanics to enable players to 

reach their desired playing 

potential. 

At this stage Mr. Derico 

provides a competitive outlet with 

his Sunday morning school teams 

or the players join in their club 

competitions on a Saturday. This 

arca is regularly checked to ensure 

that the balance between the 

academic understanding and the 

practical application is 

maintained. 

My thanks tn the parents, staff 

and students for their co-operation 

throughout 1982 and for making il 

such a busy and enjoyable year.

Swimming 

M. Hughes -19th March, 1982 

VENUE: Victorian State 

Swimming Centre 

Parade had a successful and an 

encouraging swimming 

competition in 1982. Due to some 

very intensive training a lot of 

dedication and application on the 

part of the boys Parade succeeded 

in finishing fourth overall after 

finishing 3rd in the Senior Cup, 

4th in the Junior Cup and equal 

2nd in the Juvenile Cup. 

Training began second day back 

and continued every morning up 

until the day of the ACe. Carni val. 

Whilst the coach and the Year 11 

boys were away on Outward 

Bound. Mr. Jones, Mr. Davis. and 

Miss Busch kept the boys training 

hard. In training the boys covered 

some 70 kilometres and on the 

night nearly every student 

produced his best time. 

Congratulations to the 

victorious U13 relay team of Peter 

Sharkey. Damian Wyatt, Tony 

Smith and Kevin Alldritl for their 

fine win and also to Mathew Byrne 

who finished 1st in the U14 50 m 

freestyle, 2nd in the Open 200 m 

freestyle and 3rd in the U14 

backstroke. 

Other great swims were 

recorded by Kevin Alldritt, (U13 

freestyle, and backstroke) Brendan 

Jones (2nd U16 Backstroke) and 

3rd (100 Freestyle) and the U16 

relay team (B. Hartin, P. Dynes. D. 

McInerney and B. Jones.) 

Congratulations to all those 

boys who took part. I'm sure 

further improvement is just 

around the corner.

Senior Soccer XI 


This year's season was a fruitful 

experience for the Parade Team. 

With high ambitions to win the 

premiership. Parade was struck 

with ill-fortune. With injuries to 

valuable players throughout the 

season we found that we never had 

an opportunity to play with our 

best possible side. Thus, we 

finished a disappointing fourth on 

the ladder. Despite this, the team 

put in a very solid performance 

throughout the year marred by 

three games. In two of these games 

Parade showed no supremacy 

with the ball and found the 

opposition too overpowering to 

conquer. These teams were St. 

Kilda and Altona with an 

unbelievable loss to Braybrook in 

the opening game of the season. 

Games of honourable mention 

were against: Essendon, North 

Melbourne, De La Salle (in which 

Parade scored 15 goals), and St. 

Bede's in which the Parade team 

combined well to produce 

excellent soccer which seemed to 

rallle the opposition. This 

"blistering" form was not 

produced constantly throughout 

the season and as a result, games 

were lost. 

Despite this year's performance, 

I believe that Parade team next 

year could look forward to a more 

rewarding year since over half of 

the team consisted of Year 11 

students. 

Many thanks go to Mr. J. Pyrgos 

for the many hours he spent 

preparing and structuring the side 

and benefiting the side with his 

expert knowledge about the game. 

A mention must also go to D. 

Lorenzin the manager who 

supported 

The Team 

the team efficiently. 

Ivan Siocco, Caplain 

Morris Semo: Tried his best 

throughout the season and 

showed his capability as a 

goalkeeper. 

Francis Gheller: A late inclusion 

into the team who performed 

solidly to relain his position. 

Han Viero: From the start of the 

season, he defended well and 

proved a thorn to oppositional 

players. 

John Ko/endo: Defended well 

throughout the season with 

determination and courage. 

lvon Stocco: (Captain). 

Amanda Scenna: Showed class 

and control of the ball 

constantly and was a handy 

asset to the team. 

Lam Hoang: Showed great skills 

with the ball and contributed to 

the team's effort. 

Donny Syzgalski: Showed great 

remarkability at shooting for 

goals and scored valuable goals 

for the team. 

Silvio Son/estofano: Plagued by 

injury at the start of the season, 

rejoined the side and showed 

great capability as he scored 

many goals. 

Mario Gattino: Started the season 

off superbly with great potential 

and skill as a forward but an 

injury caused him to miss 

games. 

John Sacco: Played well 

throughout the season and 

scored occasionally. 

Robert Krojogis: Plagued by injury 

at the start of the season, he 

showed great control and skill 

with the ball when rejoining the 

side. 

Sam Rizzio: Played to the best of 

his ability and scored 

occasionally. 

Andrew Wolszcko: Showed 

potential and courage wherever 

he played on the field. 

Moria OUobre: A latecomer to the 

team who showed potential as a 

forward. 

David Cotonio: Plagued by 

injuries but played well when 

called upon. 

Second XI Soccer 

N. Colvin - Coach 

The Second XI squad started the 

season enthusiastically and 

sustained their inlerest and effort 

throughout the season. 

Frank Gheller was elected 

Captain and Ross Dilizio 

Vice-Captain. When Frank was 

promoted to the First XI Ross took 

85 

command with Adam Powick and 

Mark Punda as his deputies. 

While the results of the season's 

games showed an even 

distribution of wins, draws and 

losses, the team's performance 

throughout the season was very 

commendable. 

The forwards, though not 

always able 10 score, were able to 

maintain a strong allack through 

most of the games. Adam Powick, 

Charlie Micallef, Tin Bui and 

Frank De Sanlis were particularly 

effective. 

Our defence was strong and 

reliable, with Ross Dilizio and 

Mark Punda effective as 

half-backs, James Corbin in full 

back and David Kent as a very able 

goalkeeper. 

The best player for the season 

was Ross Dilizio with Mark Punda 

and Adam Powick as runners-up. 

Junior Soccer 

The 1982 Season was not a 

successful one for Parade. 

However the team improved after 

each match and towards the end of 

the season were a formidable 

opponent for the opposition. 

The team was well lead hy Joe 

Kolenda who was always 

inspiring his teamates. The 

enthusiasm and determination of 

the team was always at a high 

level. Even in defeat there was 

20-30 players at training the next 

day. 

The number of Year 9 students 

who represented the team was 

encouraging and Parade are 

looking forward to a beller year in 

1982. 

The Coach [G. Allan) would like 

10 thank all those who represented 

the team and all those Officials 

who helped place the circle on the 

field on Wednesdays. 

Finally a special thanks to Mr. S. 

Moore for his coaching and 

training efforts for the season.

St.Kilda. which Parade won 1-0, 

and then PresIon which Parade 

won 4-1 thatthe boys started to get 

their game together. Consistent 

players up until this stage wore 

Greg Seymon (Captain), Gerard 

McAleer, Daniel Martinis and 

Michael O'Keefe. Parade suffered 

a shock loss to Essendon (4-2) and 

faced Cathedral in the final game 

of the season. The winner of this 

match would take out the 

Premiership. 

Cathedral started well and 

scored a very good goal early. 

However an error bv Cathedral in 

which they found Parade's goal 

evened the score 1 all at half time. 

A goal by Martinis put Parade 

ahead but Cathedral equalized. It

Cross-Country 

Champions 1982 

After four years of being second 

to St. Bede's, Mentone, Parade 

finally triumphed and won the 

ACC Championship. It was a great 

day, made greater by the fact that 

our victory came gradually. Some 

weeks before, the coach had 

realised we would do well-the 

co.operation of the runners at 

training was exceptional. Training 

came in three varieties - fast 

work, long work or hill climbsafter 

the initial groans 

(particularly on hill work) all 

settled down and ran, always hard 

-a terrific sign. However, the day 

before the championship we lost 

four of our top runners, 'flu being 

the main enemy. The coach 

thought we were finished. 

Lo and behold. half way through 

the program we were streets 

ahead. The junior boys had turned 

it on. Our UI15's the best team in 

Victoria and possibly Australiaput 

up a star performance, seven of 

our ten runners getting into the 

first 15 places in the field of90. A 

fantastic effort. Our U/14 were not 

far behind the super Vl15. A 

mighty effort. as the amount of 

training of our young fry was kept 

to an absolute minimum. The 

senior teams did not let us down, 

and we ran out comfortable 

winners. The day was capped off 

by a fine win in the senior event by 

our team captain, Shaun 

91 

McCormack. Congratulations to 

Shaun and all his team, 

particularly to those senior boys 

whose main sports were soccer or 

football and were willing to help 

with the team when asked.

Basketball 

1982 saw a continuation of the 

very high standard of basketball 

that we have seen over many years. 

Parade ended up second on the 

day. This was an excellent result, 

given the fact that we were a 

relatively short team in height. 

Nevertheless. what was lacking in 

height. was overcome by skill and 

determination, Unfortunatelv, the 

height factor could not be . 

overcome in our game against Sl. 

Bedes, 

Congratulations to Captain Sean

Water 

Polo 

The senior Water Polo team 

competed in the Public Schools 

Competition this year and proved 

strong opposition to the other 

competing Schools; Melbourne 

High School. Wesley College and 

Haileybury College. We finished 

"runners-up" in the competition 

which was an excellent effort 

considering Water Polo is a major 

sport in the other schools. The 

enthusiasm shown by our leading 

players Sean Collum and Andrew 

Wolszko was exceptional 

considering this sport is only just 

beginning at Parade. 

The Year 11 players found the 

competition a valuable experience 

and may go on next year as the 

leaders of the Open Team. 

Many thanks to all players who 

participated as with after school 

matches in the city a lot of time is 

involved outside school hours. An 

excellent effort by all the team.

Polo 

The college saw the first Year 7 

and 8 entry into the Public Schools 

Water Polo competition this year. 

The games were held at Parade 

pool and each week we had a 

regular attendance of ahout 12 

players. With two teams entered 

everyone got a game each week 

and many of the players showed 

considerable improvement over 

the season. Gavin Jowett was an 

untiring participant and was ably 

supported by the experienced Jeff 

Bloom and Mark Wolczko. 

Claudio Gattino and Chris and 

Peter Jones also assisted the" A" 

team in finishing runners-up. Our B 

team had a few defeats but many 

successes in the great 

improvement shown by some of 

the inexperienced players. We are 

hoping all players will continue 

into the Year 9 competition.

A.C.C. 

Coach: T. McKeever 

Hockey 

Parade had an extremely 

successful hockey season in 1982 

losing only one match in the 

A.C.C. competition. Unfortunately 

we were forced to play C.B.C. 

St. Kilda, whilst all Form V 

students were away on Outward 

Bound, and as a result we lost this 

match which placed us second at 

the end of the competition, two 

points behind St. Kilda. 

In the first match we defeated 

St. Paul's Altona 6-1. The win was 

a tremendous morale booster to 

the players who hadn't achieved 

much success in past years. Skilful 

forward play by Peter O'Connell 

and Brendan Ryan helped to settle 

all team members down despite 

the lack of practice or match play. 

Stephen Murphy was a great asset 

on the backline with magnificent 

hitting he brought both wingers, 

Jobie Kelly and Tony Hyde into the 

game. 

A rather depleted team then lost 

6-0 to a strong St. Kilda side. With 

only five hockey players in the 

team, Parade did well not to be 

defeated by a greater margin. We 

still wonder whether or not our top 

"A" side could have defeated 

St. Kilda? In this game John 

Kolenda never stopped trying and 

worked hard in attack as well as 

defence. Bernie Clifford joined the 

team this match and proved a 

valuable find. 

The third match of the 

competition saw Parade have a 

convincing 9-0 win over North 

Melbourne. Once again players 

such as Peter O'Connell, Brendan 

Rvan, Bernie Clifford and John 

Kolenda combined well to show 

the standard Parade are reallv 

capable of achieving. . 

The fourth match was vital and 

we faced St. Bede's on an 

atrocious field. For a change we 

\overe fortunate in having an 

international umpire in charge of 

the game. In a strenuous, hard 

fought match we were the victors 

2-1. Back line players Ross Dilizio 

and Brendan Rvan contrihuted 

well with strmlg defensive play. 

Next we confronted Braybrook 

and should have scored more 

prolifically than we did. However, 

the appearance of two female 

players seems to have greatly 

dislracted the boys and the final 

score was only 4-0 Parade's way. 

In this match Brendan Ryan scored 

a hat-trick. 

Then came the final and most 

important match of the term, that 

against De La Salle. Spectators 

were not 10 be bored as the match 

was terribly fiery and not really 

indicative of what one would 

expect of students from both 

schools. Despite the loss of star 

forward Peter O'Connell in the 

second half, all Parade players 

gave their all winning 5-0. 

An excellent season's effort 

which certainly deserved more 

than runners-up status. 

Best and fairest and winner for 

the team was Peter O'Connell with 

captain Brendan Ryan being 

runner-up. 

We also fielded a "8" grade 

team, which unfortunately only 

played two matches, winning one 

and losing the other. It is to be 

hoped these students will make 

the bulk of next year's A.C.C. team.

Alphington - Administrator's Report 

How much time do you. as a 

parent, spend in talking to your 

children? Do vou ever actuallv sit 

down and have a talk to your son? 

Sometimes it is only in a crisis 

situation that parents sit down and 

give full attention to their son to 

trv and fiod out the reasons whv 

sejmething has gone wrong. The 

result of this situal ion is always 

improved communication and 

improved understanding of needs 

on both sides. 

How often do you, as a parent, 

give all your Httention to listening 

to whal your son is trying to say to 

vou? Do vourconversatinns take 

place only while eating. watching 

T.V. etc .. when full allention 

cannot be given? Besides these 

times there needs to be others of 

"tolal" listening and speaking. 

The same may be said of prayer. 

How many limes do you pray only 

\vhen you need something? 

Constant prayer leads to stronger 

faith and trust in God all the time. 

There are a number of hovs in the 

school who take time out each dav 

to visit the chapel to pray. Surely' 

this Illustlead to a beller 

relationship with God and a 

strengthening of faith. 

1982 began with a number of 

changes to the school sel.up. 

Parade t\lphington callie under 

Ihe Principalship of Brother 

\Vright at Bundoora. This move 

allowed Parade to become more 

united as a school and to pursue 

common policies as faras 

practicable. Secondly. Ihe 

Brothers began living at the Parade 

Communilv Bundoora, instead of 

i\lphington. 

The spaces left in the Brothers' 

Residence have all been put to 

900d use: Part has been set aside 

for a caretaker; a Religious 

Materials Resource Centre has 

been set up: an Audio Visual 

Centre established: a Mass/Prayer 

Room developed: and a Teachers' 

Dining area developed. 

The School experienced some 

changes in staff at the start of the 

vear: Br. M. Adams was 

iransferred to Treacv College from 

where he studied at"the National 

Pastoral Institute during 1982. I 

am very grateful for the support, 

assistance and advice Brother gave 

to me in making the transition to 

Alphington smoother. Br. D. 

Burland was transferred to 51. 

Mary's. East St, Kilda. Br. E. 

Oowlal1 was transferred to 

Cathedral College. 

We welcomed 10 the staff three 

new teachers: Br. B. Booley who 

taught in the Primary school: Mr. 

K. Turner who taughl in Ihe 

Secondary area. mainly in 

Science: and Mr. A. Cicutlo who 

laught in Ihe Secondary area. 

During the year we welcomed Mr. 

N. Smythe as groundsman and 

cleaner.

May holidays, the School 

Community was saddened by the

I am pleased to present the 

annual report of the Parade 

Preparatory College Ladies 

Auxiliary. May I take this 

opportunity to thank Carol 

Griffiths and Maria 

Saltalamacchia and all the ladies 

of the committee for their 

tremendous support and 

friendship over the past twelve 

months. This vear saw the 

introduction of a social 

committee, which has been very 

successful and of great assistance. 

The various functions were not 

only of great financial help to the 

school but also helped to bring the 

families of Parade together to meet 

and enjoy each other's company. 

We commenced our first term 

with a Mass, which was celebrated 

by Father Feeney. A luncheon in 

the school hall followed with Mr. 

Frank Mount as guest speaker. He 

gave a very informative and 

interesting talk on the history of 

Parade College. 

A "Sullivans" night was held at 

the school during second term and 

a popular segment involving the 

judging of Miss Darebin Creek was 

included. The night was a great 

social and financial success. 

Our Fashion Parade was held in 

late September at Santa Maria 

College and was very well 

attended. Members of the staff and 

mothers. who were the models for 

the evening contributed 

significantly to the success of the 

night through their talent and 

good humour. 

Various theatre nights were 

also held during the year. 

Our monthly'meetings were well 

attended throughout the year. 

Members enjoyed the various 

Fathers' Association Annual 

Report 1982 

Rev. Br. Elmer and Fathers of the 

College, 

It was with some trepidation 

that I accepted the offer to be 

president of the Fathers' 

Association for 1982. However, 

there was comfort in the thought 

tha t we would have a new 

principal who would, hopefully 

be as confused as I was. 

Early in the year Br. Elmer was 

welcomed to the college by our 

committee and was assured of our 

full support during his stay at the 

college. Br. Elmer has made a 

positive contribution to our 

association with his experience, 

advice and direct involvement in 

all our functions. We are lucky to 

have such a man as our 

administrator and our boys at 

Alphington will profit by his 

leadership. 

guest speakers who contributed at 

several meeting. 

I would like to thank Brother 

Elmer and staff members for their 

generous co-operation and 

support during my term of office. 

Also. manv thanks to all the 

families which have supported the 

Ladies Auxiliary during 1982. 

Mav God bless vou all and the 

college in the yea'rsahead. 

Kathryn 

:\Iollnl, President 

The highlight of the year for me 

was a small affair. our May 

quarterly. meeting in fact, which 

was attended by about 80 dads 

who sat in absolute silence for 

almost 45 minutes, transfixed by 

the intenseness of a talk being 

given by a slightly built man in 

blue jeans and a roll-neck jumper. 

Br. Alex McDonald of S1. Ignatius, 

Richmond was telling of his 

experiences in working with the 

young derelicts, drug addicts and 

child prostitutes of our City. 

It was a very moving talk which 

got to the heart of every father 

present, [ apologise for not having 

the foresight to have the mothers 

along as well to this talk. Perhaps 

next year. 

Approximately 450 fathers and 

sons packed Fr. Briglia's S1. 

Damian's Church for our annual 

97

Communion Mass in August and 

then attended the Bundoora 

College Hall for the Sports Panel 

led by Harry Beitzel. Our special 

guests included the brilliant 

entertainer Paul Jennings, Keith 

Stackpole, Leon Harris, Kelvin 

Templeton, Gary Buckenara and 

Mario Bartolotta. Our thanks 

again to Bill Burgess for all his 

behind the scenes work to bring 

the panel together. On this night 

Br. Elmer presented Harry Beitzel 

with a cheque for $1,000 for the 

Dixon family appeal and a cheque 

for $2,500 was sent to Br. Alex 

McDonald to assist his work with 

young people. Our boys raised this 

money from a roll.a.thon held 

some weeks earlier. 

It was pleasing to see good 

attendances at our Father/Son 

Sports Night held early in the year 

at Bundoora College. These 

evenings give the boys the 

opportunity to meet new students 

and take part in informal games 

with their fathers. We should look 

at changing the format somewhat 

to keep the older boys interested in 

the activities of the evening. 

The annual fishing camp at 

Eildon was very well attended this 

year with over 120 fathers and 

approximately 160 boys in 

attendance. Apart from some rain 

on the Saturday afternoon the 

week.end was great. Terry Fraser 

won the cup.sweep and Simon 

Dwyer caught the largest fish. 

Barry Phelan was at his best 

around the campfire and Br. Elmer 

led the singing. Doug Woods 

pitched a new tent in record lime 

(He'd almost finished when we 

left!) and Br. Booley kept arriving 

late for meals. All in all a great 

lime was had by all. We feel it is 

important for the boys to "rough 

it" for a couple of days with their 

dads to show them how to catch 

fish, pitch a tent, light a camp fire 

and cook a barbecue. Otherwise, 

how else would we learn? 

My personal thanks go to the 

Committee of dads who found 

time that they didn't have to spare, 

to attend our monthly meetings, 

sports nights, working bees and 

major functions. Special thanks to 

our Secretary Brian Mcinerney 

one of the "old boys" of the team, 

to Terry Fraser who has the 

quickest paint brush in the West, 

to our figures man Bob Donohoe. 

Thanks to Des O'Brien for his quiet 

prompting and Kevin Jones for 

running the ink dry at Northern 

Press. Brian Clarke, Tom Way, 

Gordon O'Rourke, Brian 

McNamara, John Pruscino and 

Kevin Sharkey contributed to our 

committee in many ways over the 

past 12 months. 

We all hope our efforts have 

been of some value to our boys and 

the college and we wish Br. Elmer 

and his staff every blessing for the 

future.

Six Blue in '82 

Monbulk Camp 

On the 29th of March Grade 6 

Blue and 6 Purple went to 

Monbulk and stayed at a place 

called "The Log Cabin Ranch". It 

was a terrific place that had 

mini-golf, horses, trampolines, 

swimming pool and a giant slide. 

There were different activities to 

keep us busy, a hike in Sherbrooke 

Forest, after the ranger briefed us, 

golf at Olinda, swimming and a 

visit to a model train display. 

There was a film night as well as a 

"live reptile" show. It was a 

terrific camp. - B. McNamara 

We had lots offun at the camp. 

On Thursday we went to a golf 

course and played nine holes. We 

split into groups and we were with 

Mr. Banks. After we completed 

nine holes we had a drinking 

contest to see who was the fastest 

drinker. Mark O'Reilly won the 

contest. - Greg Thompson, Brent 

Van Mastrigt, Stuart Hearity, 

Wayne Roberts 

The first two days at the camp 

were wet but the next three days 

were clear and warm. We had 

different activities every day. I 

played golf, tennis and went 

swimming once. We had a cricket 

match and used the great big 

dipper slide. - Mark O'Reilly 

99 

Swimming 

Sports 

One day with a nice, cool breeze, 

We decided to go for a freeze. 

Some thought it was nice, 

Others turned into ice. 

They must have been fools 

To swim in that pool. 

Though the others were racy, 

The luck was with Treacy. 

Yay!

Athletic Sports 

On Sunday. 10th October, 1982. 

Parade Preparatory College held 

their Annual School Sports. It 

started off with the 100 metre 

sprints followed by the 400 

metres. Just before lunch the 

Primary event started with Skin 

the Snake. It was a grouse day.

EXCURSIONS AND OTHER 

EVENTS 

Polly Woodside 

On the Polly Woodside we did 

lots of things like look at model 

ships. It is clever how they make 

them. Our class went onto the 

Polly Woodside and I saw the 

bunks that the sailors slept on. 

There were logs on the bottom of 

the ship to keep it level. If they 

didn't have them it would tip over. 

- Bernard Holbery 

Aeroplane Mobiles 

Half of our class had gone to the 

football and the rest of us were 

waiting for Mrs. Frazier to come. 

We were going to make a mobile 

out of icy pole sticks and clothes 

pegs. Nearly everyone got glue on 

themselves. It was really great fun 

and we asked her to come another 

day. - Matthew O'Connor 

The Missing Watch 

In the second term Denis lost his 

watch. He looked on the oval but 

couldn't find it. He told Miss 

McEvoy and she got in a stink and 

sent everyone down to the oval to 

search for it but we couldn't find it

Class Notes 

On the first day of school half 

the boys were new but settled in 

quickly; renewing old 

acquaintances and finding all the 

lurks. Miss Rooney had 28 boys 

and all were expecting more work 

than they got. We found that first 

term was a revision and learning 

term. The class learnt lots of new 

sums and after recess we had a 

new (to us) kind of learning to read 

system with boys in four groups all 

working. Some had earphones on 

their head to either cut out the 

noise or hold it in. 

The main event of the term was 

our camp to Wilson's Promontory. 

The weather, for all those who are 

interested, was great. 

Bnb Solly left at the end of first 

term and our number decreased to 

27 but Miss Rooney says we still 

make as much noise as 42. We 

went on some outing during 

second term to the Post Office 

Museum where we were allowed 

to touch tbings as well as look. The 

River cruise was most interesting 

and no-one was sea-sick. We were 

allowed to run quietly wild on the 

Polly Woodside. The Ten 

Commandments held us 

captivated for three hours and we 

all now know who Moses was. The 

best thing that happened during 

the second term was when Miss 

Rooney and Mr. Joss got engaged 

and we had no homework. 

Third term was very busy with 

Drama Night coming up. Each 

week we had singing practice and 

are now getting in to full swing of 

rehearsals. Also many boys have 

been training for athletics and the 

Athletics Cnrnival. 

Oil rigs are also bnck into 

construction and preparation for 

100 

the 10th Annual Six Green Billy 

Cart Derby. 

For October we have been 

saying the rosary and trying to 

make our altar presentable, but 

some boys are a bit shy about 

bringing flowers. 

Nine weeks to go and we are all 

looking forward to the Christmas 

break after this exhausting year. 

Members oflbe class, 

Edited by M. Casamento 

We were on our way to the Prom. 

when the bus broke down. 

In we went to the petrol station 

man. 

Lifted up the bonnet. 

So he could fix it. 

On the Tuesdny we went for a hike 

to Lilly Pilly Gully. 

No body had good feet after that. 

Snoring could be heard from the 

tents that night 

Peter Jones was Iron Man for the 

Camp. 

Running there and back we made 

it to Sealer's Cove. 

On the track. 

Miss Rooney was Iron Woman.

Grade Six Purple 

Class Notes 

Grade Six Purple started well 

with boys from Grade 5 meeting 

the new boys. The most exciting 

event during the first term was our 

camp at Monbulk. We left on 

Monday morning, the 29th of 

March. We stayed at the Log Cabin 

Ranch. Six Blue, Miss McEvoy and 

Mr. Sholly also joined us for the 

week. 

l'vlonbulk was great fun. It rained 

Monday so after a hike on which 

we were all drenched, we played 

inside and performed gymnastics 

and held wrestling matches. 

Fortunately, the weather during 

the rest of the week was warm and 

sunny. 

All of us played golf on the very 

hilly course at Olinda. We got 

ourselves lost when trying to find 

Sherbrooke Forest and arrived late 

for the talk by the ranger. Atthe 

Log Cabin Ranch there were 

animals to be fed, horses to ride, 

tenis courts, a trampoline, 

volley-ball court and the best 

attraction of all-the giant slide. 

There were also a couple of 

accidents. Two of us ended up 

with stitches (cotton heads!) Luke 

Clayton tried on somersault too 

many on the trampoline and on 

another day David Jowett was hit 

under the nose with a golf club! 

Miss McEvoy had a busy time 

running boys into the Monbulk 

Hospital. 

The nights were just as exciting. 

We saw two films on the video: 

"Blazing Saddles" and "Jaws". 

Some boys are even concerned 

about swimming at the Monbulk 

Pool after watching "Jaws" the 

night before. We held our talent 

night on the final evening of the 

camp and laughed at each other 

through the night. 

Wednesday evening Fritz 

Martin visited us with his show 

"Snakes Alive". All of us were 

amazed as he handled the different 

species of lizards and snakes. 

Afterwards the brave amongst us 

had our photos taken while 

wrestling with pythons!! On 

another night we also visited the 

Monbulk Miniature Railway. 

The camp was a great lime for us 

all and we cannot finish without 

101 

thanking Mr. Tinge at the Log 

Cabin Ranch and the dads who 

stayed with us: Mr. Woods, Mr. 

Black, Mr. Banks and Mr. Scully. 

The second term was football 

season. Anthony Banks, Matthew 

Hart, Jason Tyler, Gerard Meehan 

and Matthew Dober made the 

Primary Football team in which 

Peter Caven was captain. Woj 

Nadachowski, Ben King, Anthony 

Mercadante, Alex Paine and John 

Ryan represented us in the 

primary soccer. 

During the second term we went 

to watch "The Ten 

Commandments" in the city. On 

another occasion \\'e went on a 

cruise down the Yarra River to the 

West Gate Bridge and had lunch 

while looking over the Polly 

Woodside. As a break up to the 

second term we went to the 

Essendon Bow I. Raf Zebrowski, 

Anthony Mercadante and Matt 

Dober ended up being our best 

bowlers. 

We did very well raising money 

through the year. We collected 

over $500 during the Rollathon. 

For the Missions we have raised 

$130 so far and at the moment we

are collecting money for the 

Give-A-Meal Appeal. 

During the first and second 

terms some mums have been very 

kind in giving up their time to 

come and help with our readingwe 

thank them very much. At the 

moment we are working hard at 

our preparations for Drama Night. 

The Primary school is performing 

in a musical produced by Brother 

Phillips. We are all wondering 

why Brother chose Matthew Hart 

to play the "Devil". 

Grade Six has had a good year. 

Some of the schoolwork has been 

difficult and we have had to work 

hard to succeed. But we have 

learnt that the more we put into 

anything we do then the more 

enjoyable it is.

Class Notes 

EXCURSIONS 

The FlourMill-Late in first term 

we went to Darling's Flour Mill in 

Sunshine where we were shown 

the grinders, the silos and how the 

wheat is moved from the rail 

trucks into the silos. While we 

were walking through the mill we 

were given samples off1our some 

of which we threw at each other.- 

M.Bradshaw 

The Museum - During the second 

term our class was studying all 

about whales. To study and learn 

more about whales, the two forms 

one went on an excursion to the 

museum. While at the museum we 

were given a couple of work 

sheels. After we had toured 

around the exhihits we wrote 

down information about whales 

and various other mammals. After 

the sheets were finished we were 

given some time to look around at 

other displays in the museum. We 

were led by Mr. Carter to a display 

of wheat and wheat machines 

102 

which recalled our memories of 

the Swan Hill Camp. When it was 

time to go we collected our 

belongings and started walking to 

the Yarra River to have our lunch. 

On the way there we had a look at 

the new Museum Station. The 

station looks very modern. After 

having lunch we headed back to 

lhe station and caught the train 

home. - B. Goodison 

Competitions - I think the 

competitions run throughout the 

year were really great. In the first 

term we had an art competition in

which Joseph Montemurro won 

first prize for his drawing of a 

hand, second prize was won by 

Simon Ashton for his sketch of 

Paul Hogan. In the third term we 

had another competition on who 

would win the Brownlow Medal 

and Danny Gould won first prize 

together with Mr. Carter. The next 

competition we had was who 

would win the Grand Final and by 

how much and Fulton Zylstra 

won. A cou pIe of weeks later we 

had a Craft Show. I entered a 

crystal radio but first prize went to 

John King, he made a house out of 

toothpicks and Matthew De lonno 

won second prize for his slab pot. 

Joseph Montemurro and Simon 

Ashton shared second prize.- 

A. Jones 

The Form One Camp - The '82 

camp for Form I was at an old scout 

camp up at Swan Hill. The 

weather was very warm but at 

night it was rather cold. Some of 

the excursions were: the rotary 

dairy, Ward's wheat farm and the 

Pioneer Settlement. At night, after 

lights out, Mr. Carter had a good 

remedy for the boys who wanted to 

fool around. Believe me, sleeping 

in the same room with adults is not 

much fun. Perhaps the highlight 

was on Thursday when we had a 

staff versus students cricket 

match; then we went for a swim in 

the Murray and slid down the mud 

slides which were constructed 

down the banks. We had a 

barbecue for lunch and tea that day 

and we had a sport activity 

morning. Perhaps the hardest part 

of the camp was when we had to 

getup very early on the last day 

and catch a bus and train back to 

Melbourne. - P. Hariola 

Teachers' Habits and Sayings- 

"Be upstanding thanks gents," 

said Mr. Carter when he walked 

into the room at the start of the 

year. This was Mr. Carter's saying 

throughout the year. Mr. 

Harnetty's saying was "Guys, 

there's no necessity for the talk". 

Br. Elmer was always saying, "If I 

say your name you'll stand down 

the BACK!". Mr. Russell set a 

record of thirty-three "rights" io 

one period. Mr. Cicutto always 

made up a quick excuse by saying, 

"or something to that effect." So 

here isa word of warning toall you 

grade sixers, when you're 

103 

upstanding gents and there's no 

necessity for the talk, if your name 

is said and you go down the back 

and you might hear "Right. right 

or something to that effect", don't 

listen to the teachers! - G. Canty 

Class Characters!! - We certainlv 

had our share of comedians in 7 . 

Blue this year. Hollywood had its 

Laurel and Hardy but we had 

Gerard Smith and Anthony 

Woods. They stirred everyone, 

including the teachers, but it was 

all in good fun. John Morganti also 

brought a few laughs by not 

listening to instructions and then 

asking what to do. "Flex" Phelan 

also provided a few laughs 

especially when stirred up by 

Woods and Smith. "Professor" 

Paul Bariola seemed to have the 

best general knowledge in 7 Blue 

and obviously reads a lot. The title 

of "Mr. Inquisitive" must go to 

David Collard who was estimated 

to have asked 2,327 questions this 

year. Our "Mr. Universe" contest 

was won by that muscle-boond 

hulk, Bernard Goodison-nobody 

dared to question the decision. We 

also had a couple of students who

nearly failed Year 7 because of 

their poor quality art work. John 

King and Simon Ashton must 

improve their drawing etc.!! The 

final award this year is our 

lvlulti-Cultural Award which goes 

to Joseph Montemurro for his 

ability to answer French questions 

in Italian!! Joe even swore in 

French when his ankle was broken 

in Ihe Cross-Country.- 

Mr. Carter 

Year 7 Green 

Class Notes 

When we arrived at school we 

found that Mr. Harnetty was our 

Form Teacher for 1982. The work 

was different to Grade 6 because 

we were getting more homework 

and gradually it was getting 

harder and harder. lt was also 

different because we had more 

than one teacher for each of our 

subjects. We also had some new 

teachers joining the staff such as: 

Mr. Cicutto, Mr. Turner, Brother 

Booley and our new Principal, 

Brother Elmer. 

In March we went on our camp 

to Swan Hill. We went 011 several 

excursions of which Ihe best one 

was to the Pioneer Settlement. 

Then we had our May holidays 

which was the best part of the year. 

In the second term we were 

sludying whales and we went to 

the museum for an excursion. We 

learnt about whales and we had an 

answer sheet to fill in. 

By now we were getting used to 

electives. That's when you can 

pick a sport to do on Thursday 

afternoons. We had the choice of 

13.M.X.,football, cricket, lennis 

squash, golf and roller skating. 

In Ihe third term we had a new 

boy called Trent Munday join us. 

He fitted in well to our class. We 

also had our alhletic carnival and 

Lynch won again, and Bodkin 

finished last again. 

Year 8 Blue 

Class Notes 

Our final year at the "Prep" saw 

us doing all the things thaI the 

boys before us have done except 

we had our own way of doing 

things. Peter "Scrawny" Torney 

was in charge of the class intercom 

and when Mr. Carter asked him 

who was on the line, his answer, 

"It's your mum!" sent everyone 

into hysterics - including Mr. 

Carter. 

We had a great time at 

Tallangatta. The visit to the 

goldmine was something new and 

we won 'I forget it -at least not lhe 

drive in and out. One "driver" 

managed to have a "blow-out" on 

a narrow road overlooking a sheer 

drop 10 the creek below. His track 

record with creeks isn't too good. 

We had a record number of "late 

arrivals" - sounds healthier than 

"LOST" - after our hike at 

Tallangatta but, David "Jungle

We were a particularly 

well-behaved class and cannot 

understand why our Form Master. 

Mr. Bibby, had to take the second 

term off. 

The trip to the Royal Show was 

as educational as ever but we 

showed our courage on the various 

rides. John "Hayhoe Silver" 

showed more than just courage. 

The ballet class was our veoture 

into culture. Matthew Flynn's 

attempt to catch the ballerina not 

only "brought the house down" 

but almost brought her down as 

well. 

We have had a lot offun overthe 

three or four years at Alphington 

and are now looking forward to 

"taking on" the Senior School. 

Finally, we would like to thank 

all the Staff for their interest and 

patience and we will try to carry 

the good nameofP.P.C. with us 

wherever \ve go. 

The Boys from 8 Blue 

Year 8 Green 

After departing from Spencer 

Street at 6.00 p.m. on Sunday 

night, it was a 4-hour train ride to 

Tallangatta. 

The accommodation was very 

good and the billiard tables and 

table-tennis were popular with the 

boys. 

The trip to Beechworth was the 

best part of the camp. We went to 

the Murray Breweries and the 

Bourke Museum. The most 

"unpleasant" part of the camp was 

our "run" up One Tree Hill. Craig 

O'Meara ran a record time of 17 

minutes. A football match and a 

trip to the sheep sales finished off a 

great camp for Year 8 boys. 

Paul Evans, 8 Green 

best acts was by M. Pratt, P. Moore, 

M. Flynn, J. Makin and D. Ryan 

(also very messy). We also heard 

renditions of "On Top of Old 

Smokey" and "I betcha they won't 

play this song on the radio" and 

many others. Chris Green and 

Mark Puli were chased off stage 

because of their terrible 

performance. 

All in all, it was a very enjoyable 

piece of garbage. 

Michael 

The Talent?!? 

Dabhs, 8 Green 

One of the highlights of the 

camp was the so called talent night 

(although that was the only thing 

it didn't have). We saw acts, 

impersonations. songs, jokes and a 

piano recital and John Healy's 

jokes were "different". One of the

Tasmania 

During the 2nd term holidays 

some boys went to Tasmania. We 

visited many places such as: 

Cadbury's Chocolate Factory, 

Wrest Point Casino, MI. 

Wellington, Russell's Falls, Penny 

Royal, Launceston Casino and 

many other places. We all learnt a 

lot and would have liked to stay 

longer. Many boys got to know 

other boys better and even attbis 

late stage of schooling, made new 

friends. 

When we returned to school we 

had a Tassie re-union. We saw the 

film we made while we were in 

Tasmania at it was hilarious. 

Brother Phillips said. "Anthony 

Hayes' (our expert on 'Sign 

Language') fingers are worth 

millions in Hollywood, when a 

producer saw the film'." On the 

Re-union night we gambled at the 

"Parade Casino" and with the left 

over money we had a mystery 

auction. All in all we had a good 

time. We would like to thank 

Brother Phillips and everyone 

who helped to make the camp 

possible. 

Thank you!! 

Kevin Kan 

U14 Cricket 

Our team this year was strong 

and unlucky not to be premiers. 

We only lost one game, by a single 

run, against 51. Kilda. 

We had a talented team with 

most members being able to bat 

well but unfortunately it was our 

batting that let us down when we 

could only manage to make 78. We 

had bow led well ourselves to have 

51. Kilda all out for 79 runs. 

There were many fine 

performances but the bowlers to 

stand out were Terry Board who 

took five wickets for 2 runs in one 

match and Matthew Flynn who 

sent many opening batsmen back 

off the field with 0 beside their 

names. 

Our Captain, Mark Donohoe, 

was consistent with the bat, as was 

David Way. John Tobin and 

Anthony Hayes. Patrick Moore 

was always ready to push the score 

along when he came in towards 

the end of an innings. 

The most encouraging aspect of 

our game was the very 

enthusiastic and tight fielding 

which helped our bowlers and 

caused many run-outs. 

106 

The team wishes to thank the 

parents who helped with transport 

and coached the team when 

Brother couldn't be there. 

Under 13A 

Cricket 

The under 13A team won their 

first five games but went down to 

De La Salle by ten runs in the final 

game to finish second. 

Batting was the strong point in a 

very good all round side and five 

boys reached the retiring mark of 

thirty. Others retired before the 

thirty mark so that their mates 

could get a hit.

U138 Cricket 

A reasonably successful year's 

sport, socially if not on the 

sporting side. There were many 

notable features given by members 

of the team. Throughout the 

season we won two games out of 

six, thereby finishing ninth in the 

competition. 

Best batter for the season was 

Jason Moore with an average of 15 

and best bowler was Peter Torney 

who captured 8/37. 

Under 12A 

Cricket 

After leading the competition 

for most of the season we were 

lucky to lose the premiership by a 

miserable two and a half points. 

We lost only one match but gained 

a compensating outright win. The 

strength of our team was definitely 

in our batting where we had great 

depth. Our openers were usually 

David Page and Joseph 

Montemurro who frequently gave 

us a solid start. David in particular 

scored quite a lot of runs this 

season. Gared Griffiths and Peter 

Caven followed the openers and 

were also very consistent 

run-makers. At various times we 

had useful contributions from our 

middle order which was usually 

made up of Michael Geary, Jason 

Stewart, Peter Board and Luke 

Thomas. These batsmen were 

often needed to score quickly and 

all did this on occasions. 

Our bowling attack was quite 

steady and we managed to dismiss 

most sides in their allotted times. 

We had a fairly economical 

medium pace quartet which was 

comprised of Gared Griffiths, 

Matthew Giddens, Peter Caven 

and Michael Geary. Due to his 

slightly faster pace and greater 

accuracy, Gared usually gained 

early breakthroughs. During the 

season we also discovered our 

secret weapon in the person of 

Clinton Moran who mesmerised 

several teams with his cleverly 

flighted spinners. David Page and 

Peter Board also made useful 

contributions in the spin 

department. 

The team's fielding was of an 

excellent standard where Joseph 

Montemurro kept wickets 

brilliantly. He took some fine 

catches and saved many runs. 

David Page, Clinton Moran, Peter 

Board, Michael Geary and Peter 

Caven were also outstanding in 

both catching and ground 

fielding. Joe's leadership from 

behind the stumps was an 

inspiration to which all team 

members responded well. Our 

thanks go to those parents who 

helped with team duties, 

especially 

Don Page, our scorer. 

Geoff Carter, Coacli 

U 128 Cricket 

Alphington U/12B cricket team 

had a reasonably good season 

losing only 2 games. These games 

were lost at the hands of our own 

U/12A side and the Bundoora U12 

team. 

Many players showed some 

great talent during the season. 

107 

Among these were performances 

by Michael Casamento (batsman, 

wicket-keeper and field 

placement), Paul Joyce (bowler), 

Simon and Andrew Jones 

(bowlers), Gerard Meehan and 

David Maher for some excellent 

field work. 

Unfortunately, as occurs in most 

team games, some players didn't 

make selection in the U/12 teams 

as often as they would have liked. 

This was due to the competition 

for placements being very strong. 

I would like to thank all boys 

who showed interest and 

enthusiasm in the teams. To the 

boys who missed out, my advice is 

to try even harder next year. Good 

effort won't be unrewarded. 

K. Turner (Vl128 Coach) 

Under 118 

Cricket 

The cricket season of 1981/82 

was one of unusual and sometimes 

mystifying results. 

Despite a great deal of 

enthusiasm and dedication by all 

boys in the team, we were unable 

to win a match this season. 

Captain A. Nibali and 

Vice-captain A. Liss set a good 

example to other team mates by 

their efforts in all aspects of the 

game. Other good performances 

were shown by: P. Black, R. Solly, 

L. Spencer, A. Paine, D. Clarke, in 

the bowling. As for our batting 

efforts, we could have perhaps 

done a little better than our results 

show. Nevertheless, a couple of 

good stands were made by A. Liss, 

D. Jowett, c. Roda and A. Nibali. 

In the field the boys showed 

determination and persistence 

despite strong batting 

performances by the opposition. 

Good performances in the field 

were achieved by S. McKenzie, C. 

Mullins, E. Govic, T. Watson and 

N. Mclnley. 

Thanks must go, of course, to the 

parents who were always willing 

to transport the team, score and 

barrack. 

It was a shame the season ended 

when it did as the last two matches 

indicated we were looking as 

though we could win a match.

Under 14 Football 

The Paradian of 1979 reported a 

premiership for the Ul11 football 

team in their first year at the 

school. Three years later and in 

their final year at Alphington. the 

Paradian is now recording that 

team's fourth consecutive 

premiership. This is a fine 

achievement and one of which the 

boys can be extremely proud. 

Matthew Flynn was captain of 

the team and he was an inspiring 

leader with his courage and ability 

to win the ball in the centre. He 

was well supported by 

vice-captain Patrick Moore whose 

strong play and long dashes were 

responsible for many scoring 

opportunities. Deputy 

vice-captain was ruckman David 

Way, who was never beaten in the 

air and always gave our smaller 

players first use of the ball. 

The back-line had verv few 

goals scored against them as lohn 

Tobin, Tim Roadley, Paul 

Tomasoni and Andrew Murray 

were ahvays in position to mark or 

run down field. John Edwards, 

Damian Pruscino and John 

O'DDnnell were also conspicoDus 

wilh their safe defensive play. 

Stephen English played on one 

wing until he was injured and 

Mark Donohoe tODkhis place and 

became an excellent player. The 

other wing was shared around 

between Kevin Ramsdale, Adam 

Mackey and Michael Hehir who 

all performed well when required. 

Our half-forward line was a very 

cDnstructive line with Mallhew 

Pratt at centre half-forward 

flanked by Nino Zambello and 

Dominic Hewalt. These three were 

often amongst our best and sCDred 

many goals as well- NinD 

kicking ten against e.B.e. St. 

Kilda. 

At full forward Andrew 

Wad ham used his strength to win 

the ball and his skilllD kick goals. 

Anything he missed was swooped 

upon by Brendan Smith Dr the 

other forward pocket which was 

rotated between Stuart Scott, John 

Healy and Mitchell SynDn. 

Supporting David Way and 

Patrick MDore on the ball were 

ruck rover Anthony Hayes and 

rovers Terry BDard and Phillip 

Barnes. All proved fine players, 

winning many possessions and 

always disposing Dfthe ball 

effectively. 

It is hoped that this team can 

continue its success at Bundoora 

culminating in an A.e.C. 

premiership in 1986. Our thanks 

go tDMessrs. Hayes, Way, Moore 

and Ramsdale for their untiring 

assistance each Saturday and to all 

parents who helped over the 

seaSDn. Finally my thanks to the 

Committee of Mallhew Flynn, 

Patrick Moore and David Way for 

their outstanding leadership and 

the example they set, nDt jusl to 

our own players, butto the parents 

and bDYsDfother schools.

Under 13A 

Football 

The season starled off well when 

the side had a huge win against De 

La Salle in the first round. 

Unfortunately, we came up 

against the strongest team in the 

competition a week later when we 

travelled out tDEssendon to play 

St. Bernard's. They beat us on the 

day and also defeated us in the last 

round at horne. 

We had an "up and dDwn" 

seaSDn. The boys played their best 

~ame against St. Kilda and won by 

tour goals but IDst tDParade 

Bundoora a week before. 

We made the Grand Final and 

looked forward to playing St. 

Bernard's again. The boys played 

very well but the DppDsilion was 

just too strong and deserved to win 

the premiership. We cDngratulate 

St. Bernard's on Iheir performance 

as they went through the season 

undefealed. 

In the side we had many 

talented players whD shDuld do 

well in the future if they are 

prepared to work at their game. 

Our Captain, Tony WODds,was 

our most consistent player all year 

and lead the team strongly with 

his "never give-in" attitude. Other 

players who were often among the 

best were Kieran McInerney, Ben 

Dragonetti, Drew Ryan, Peter 

Mount and TDny Jackson. All the 

boys should be pleased with their 

112 

efforts in the Grand Final and look 

fDrward tDplaying in the Under 14 

team next year, at either 

t\lphington or Bundoora. 

The team wishes tDespecially 

thank those dads who helped with 

transport and officiated for us at 

the matches.

The 1982 season certainly had 

plenty of variety for the team. 

While there were no games won, 

there were certainly SDmeclose 

games. 

Star ruckmen Damien Quigley, 

Paul Stevens, Patrick and 

Cameron Smith were determined 

in their efforts to knock the ball out 

to their rovers Paul Banks and Paul 

Phelan. However, taller ruckmen 

often made this a difficult task. 

Paul Stevens, as captain, had 

varied success at each game, but 

he was a consistently determined 

leader, despite the fact that nD 

games were won. 

Best players for the season were 

Paul Stevens. Paul Banks, Patrick 

Hinrichsen, Duncan Griffiths and 

Paul Phelan. Congratulations to all 

players on such a determined 

effort and suppDrt for the team. 

Under 12A 

Football 

Our team this year had mixed 

success on the playing field. The 

main reason for our lack of real 

success was inconsistency on the 

part of some of the better players. 

Several of our reputation players 

did very well against the lower 

sides but not SDwell against the 

top sides. These players must try 

even harder on big occasions. 

The back line was qu ite a tight 

and stable unit with Gared 

Griffiths a great improver in the 

back pocket. Jason Tyler and Paul 

Joyce worked well together. On 

the half-back line we were well

served by Paul Silvio (usually 

steady), ")ezza" Salzano (very 

determined), and Brian Barkerthe 

dasher. This line was probably 

the least changed and most 

consistent we had. A number of 

p layers were tried across the 

centre line but we were usually 

best served by Andrew Ongarello 

(a good kick gatherer), Peter Caven 

(excellent skills) and Gerard 

Meehan, a good user of the ball. At 

other times Danny Gravell, Leach 

and Matthew Dober also gave good 

service. Potentially we had a very 

good half. forward line because of 

players of the calibre of Shane 

Ryan and Michael Geary. 

However, we struggled sometimes 

to get the ball over this line and 

deep into attack. Stewart Hearity 

and Darren Tame also had spells 

on this line and did some useful 

work. Our best full forward was 

Peter Board who kicked some 

goals from a long way out - he 

marked well from in front and 

showed good goal sense. The 

high-flying Terry Canavan began 

on this line and his marking was a 

highlight. Our ruck division, 

although short, did not lack 

endeavour and Matthew Dozzi 

mixed it with the best of lhem and 

was one of the best almost every 

week. He was well supporled by 

his ruck rovers Matt Dober, Shane 

Ryan and Michael Geary. The best 

rover by far was Michael 

Casamento who had bolh courage 

and skill in abundance. 

In conclusion, a special tribute 

should be paid to Peter Caven our 

captain who was a really 

inspirational leader. He played 

some really outstanding games 

and his only real mistake was to 

forget his boots against De La 

Salle. Our thanks also go to our 

band of loyal supporters who also 

provided our transporl- lhanks 

parents. 

G. Carter, Coach 

Under 128 

Football 

The team did not have a lot of 

success this past season. The boys 

played for the main part of the 

season as a team and gave their all, 

but unfortunately, their all was not 

enough to match their opponents' 

abilities. Captained by Anthony 

Banks, the boys were always 

willing to try, even in the face of 

continual defeat. They never 

stopped trying and this was 

obvious in quite a number of boys 

who lhroughout the season were 

voted best for the day. All the boys 

played well. but a few boys 

seemed to stand out in the team. 

Parlicular mention should go to 

Clinton Moran and Anthony 

Banks whose roving skills were 

excellent and set an example to the 

rest of the team. 

Gerard Pruscino. Jason Stewart, 

Luke Clayton, and Peter Reid 

whose combined efforts provided 

the team with a strong backline; 

Brent Van Mastrigl and Andrew 

Jones our "tall" players going up 

in the ruck, and Peter Jones and 

Greg Thompson who gave us our 

centre line domination. 

The learn was made up of about 

thirty plus boys, thus makiog it 

difficult at limes to choose a 

consistent team, as we had 10 give 

each boy a chance to play in the 

team. Some boys only played a 

couple of games through the 

season. but this didn't seem to 

affect them, as they continually 

came to training. 

The main aim was to give all 

these boys a game of football and 

also to supplement lhe A team. 

Some boys in particular: Michael 

Casamento, Shaun Leach. Darren 

Tame and Jason Tyler, all earned a 

promotion from the B's 10 the A's 

and maintained their positions. 

Overall it was a successful season, 

even in the face of defeat, as lhe 

boys maintained their eagerness. 

and both team and school spirit. 

A. Cicutto 

Primary Football 

The primary football team had a 

successful year. It was often 

mentioned by opposing sides that 

our boys were smaller than the 

learns they have played from 

Parade in the past. 

However, the lack of size did not 

deter the team as we were 

fortunale 10 have many smaller but 

quicker boys who were prepared 

to fight for the ball and move it on. 

Unfortunately. the boys 

couldn't train together as most 

were in two other teams. 

Therefore, it took the firsl couple 

of games before we began to play 

well together. 

We were able to win the 

premiership of our zone. In the 

Grand Final we defeated Penders 

Grove: Parade 23.12.150- 

Penders Grove 0.0.0 We lost the 

next week in a close game againsl 

St. Dominic's - Broadmeadows 

who had won their zone. St. 

Dominic's: 4.3.27 - Parade 3.5.23. 

All the boys tried hard and did 

their best - it was a very even 

learn performance. Only four boys 

slood out every game: Matthew 

Dober. Peter Wilsmore. Michael 

Geary and Peter Caven who as 

captain led by example. 

We would like to thank the 

mums and dads who came to 

support - especially when we 

played our Grand Final against 

Penders Grove on a Friday which 

was a holiday.

Swimming 

Collingwood Swimming Pool 

was again the early morning 

meeting place of the swimming 

team. Four mornings per week at 

7.00 a.m. the squad wnuld meet for 

training in preparation for the 

carnivals to be contested. 

The school sports were held in 

overcast conditions at the 

Northcote Pool and the shield was 

won by Treacy. 

Age Group Champions were: 

U/lO Chris Ongarello, Ulll 

Telford Scully, U/12 Andrew 

Ongarello, U/13 Peter Sharkey, 

U/14 Andrew Murray. 

Andrew Murray was appointed 

captain of the team for the C.S.S.A. 

carnival held at the Richmond 

Baths. Although the standard of 

swimming has improved 

markedly at all schools over the 

last five years, Parade was still able 

to compete with distinction and 

were placed in each age group 

contested. Boys who performed 

notably on this day included Peter 

Sharkey, ~latthew Flynn, 

Matthew Pratt, Andrew Murrav, 

Mark Ongarello, John O'Reilly: 

Shane Ryan, Andrew Ongarello. 

Paul Baggio, John O'Donnell, 

Adam Mackey, Peter Jones, Carl" 

Greco and Telford Scully. 

After some excellent 

performances at a meeting in St. 

Kilda, a number of Alphington 

boys were selected to represent 

Parade College in the A.C.C. 

swimming sports. Andrew 

Murray, Matthew Flynn, Matthew 

Pratt, Carl Greco, and Peter 

Sharkey helped Parade to a second 

placing in the Juvenile Shield 

section. 

Our thanks are extended to the 

staff of the Collingwood Swim 

Centre for their co-operation and 

also to the Seven Eleven store for 

the breakfasts they provided.

Tennis 

After a successful year in 1981, 

great hopes were held for 1982. 

The 1981 School Tournament had 

altracted 205 entries [more than 

2/3's of all students), and in the 

1981 J.V.C.L.T.A. Competition 

Tennis, Parade had won two 

premierships (the Under 13A 

Grade Summer, and the Under 

13A Grade Spring Pennants). 

Further,S teams out of the 6 

entered had made the finals. These 

performances, together with the 

welcome addition of new staff 

member, Mr. Anthony Ciculto to 

the Tennis Administration, 

presaged a great year for 1982 - a 

hope that has been more than 

realized. 

COJ\,fPETITION TENNIS: In 

order to cope with the increased 

interest in competitive tennis, two 

extra courts were hired in the 1st 

term. However, in 2nd term, 

tbanks to Brother Wright, courts at 

Bundoora were offered to all 

Paradians. This enabled 

intergration of Alphington and 

Bundoora Paradians into teamssurely 

a resounding affirmation of 

the unity at Parade. 

SUMMER COMPETITION, 

1982: Six teams were entered; one 

Under 15B, one Under 13A, and 

four Under 13B teams. Four teams 

reached the finals (Under 15B, 

Under 13A, Under 13B-1, and 

Under 13B-2). Three teams made 

the grand finals with Parade 

achieving a clean sweep of the 

Under 13 sections (A and B 

grades). The Under 15B team were 

unlucky to lose by a mere4 games, 

but were worthy runners-up. 

WINTERCOMPETITION,1982: 

Although many players were 

unavailable (due, of course, to 

football). Parade sustained the 

high level of achievement set in 

the Summer. Six teams were 

entered; one Under 15A, one 

Under 15B, one Under 13A and 

three Under 13B. Four teams made 

the finals (Under 15A, Under 13A, 

Under 13B-1, and Under 13B-2), 

with the Under 13A winning their 

second premiership for the year. 

The Under 15A managed a 

creditable runners-up (for most of 

the boys were actually under 13 

years of age). Further, the Under 

15A team presented a solid 

"Paradian front" -for two players 

were Year 9 boys at Bundoora. 

SPRING COMPETITION, 1982: 

Eight teams have been enteredone 

Under 15A (comprising 

players from Alphington and 

Bundoora), one Under 15B,two 

Under 13A teams, and four Under 

13B teams. At the time of writing, 

six teams (Under 15A, Under 15B, 

Unner 13A-1, Under 13A-2, Under 

13B-1, and Under13B-2) are 

undefeated, and on top of their 

respective sections. Great hopes 

are held for, perhaps, four 

premierships this season. Time. 

and ability, will tell! 

TEAM TRAINING: Despite the 

fact that most boys are physically 

fit, all boys in teams altended 

training nights for their respective 

teams (from 3.30 p.m. to 4.00 

p.m.). Emphasis (by Mr. Ciculto 

ann myself] is placed on 

courtcraft, percentage play,

tactics, and, above all, control of 

the net (which involves intensive 

volleying practice). The Paradian 

stvle of tennis now established is 

to control the net in doubles: and 

the boys have, in competition, 

demonstrated intelligent (and 

winning) expertise in this phase of 

play. Team training is, then, the 

essential component of our 

successful team competition. 

EXCURSIONS, 1982: A group of 

36 competition players enjoyed 

superb tennis at the Mazda Super 

Challenge in October, observing 

such accomplished players as 

Connors, Geralitus, and 

ex-schoolboy players McNamara 

and McNamee. Plenty of lively 

discussion followed this enjoyable 

afternoon. 

TOURNAMENT, 1982: Entries 

for 1982 total 195 students, and the 

keen air of friendly competition 

everywhere throughout the 

college. Finals will be played in 

early December, and thanks are 

extended to Brother Phillips and 

Mr. Cicullo for their help in 

running the Tournament. 

CONCLUSION: A pleasing 

aspect of this year has been the 

enthusiasm of numerous "new" 

tennis players, who have opted for 

tennis as their Thursday sport 

elective. Due to this increased 

demand, two further tennis courts 

are being completed at 

is 

Alphington. This enthusiasm for 

tcnnis, and the addition of the 

extra courts, can be traced to the 

encouragement and direction 

given to staff and students alike by 

Brother Elmer. Tennis finds him a 

mDstlDyal patron. 

HDwever, the greateslthanks are 

due, undDubtedly, tDDur 

enthusiastic and "IDng-suffering" 

parents who suppDrlthe bDYsby 

their unfailing dedication to 

"duty" (which means arising early 

Sunday mornings to transporl,

encDurage the bDYsand tDumpire 

and preside Dver matches). My 

thanks, and the blessings Dfthe

Cross Country 

Craig O'Meara was appointed 

Captain of the team and training 

was conducted during lunch 

times. Pretty soon the tags of 

"Boulevard", "Paper Mills" and 

"Waterdale" were attached to the 

routes training would follow. 

Our major carnival was the 

C.S.S.A. held al Salesian College, 

Sunbury, and after one 

cancellation due to weather, our 

team headed off by bus to the 

venue. As with the swimming, the 

standard of cross country has 

improved rapidly in the 

Association and again we were 

able to perform well, achieving a 

place in each age group, but 

narrowly missing a shield. 

Good performances on this day 

included, C. O'Meara, P. Barnes, 

D. Hewatt, P. Moore, M. Hebir. P. 

Evans, M. Saltalamacchia, A. 

Woods, P. Cavan, B. Schmidt, N. 

Woods, S. Headey. M. Jackson, S. 

Jackson, M. Buckley, D, 

Fitzgerald, M, Hart, S. Bibby and 

S. Torresi. All boys were 

important to the team however as 

ten boys in each age oroup 

comprise the team a;d the first six 

home are included in the team 

result. 

A number of boys were selected 

to compete with senior Parade in 

the A.C.G. Cross Country and were 

fortunate in being part of the 

winning team, We congratulate 

them on thaI success and also for 

their efforts throughout the season 

both in training and at the 

meetings. 

Gerard Sholly 

Golf 

Golf was a regular activity on 

Sports day and more than thirty 

boys took part - the weekly 

average being twenty to 

twenty-four. We played at the 

Yarra Bend r.ublic courses - the 

eighteen ho e and the par three in 

Studley Park Road. 

At the main course, the best 

scores for nine holes were John 

Tobin and Andrew Wadham 43, 

Patrick Moore and Mark Donohoe 

46 and Dominic Hewatt and David 

Way 47. We handled the par three 

course a lot more easily and John 

Tobin, 36, Dominic Hewalt, 

Matthew Pratt, 37, and Terry 

Board, 38, were the best scorers. 

We had a good year 

weather-wise and all improved 

quite a lot. Andrew Papcun earns a 

special mention. His early scores 

looked like thirty-six holes tallies 

and he gradually cut them down 

by half. His tee shot to the green on 

the seventh, followed by two puts 

for a par, was certainly a high spot 

for us all. 

We would like to thank all those 

who helped with the driving, Mr. 

Bibby for his interest over the two 

years and especially Mr. Makin 

who helped us every week during 

the second term.
