0 From the Principal 

Mr Peter Chapman 

Few would have pictured, after the devastating floods of 2011, what we 

see today at Tennyson. 

Through hard work, grit and determination, in little more than three 

years this facility has become one of the finest schoolboy sports facilities 

in the country. 

From the Br CL (Charlie) Dillon Boatshed to the Old Boys’ Grandstand, 

thousands of Terrace students and their GPS colleagues have continued 

a sporting history that dates back to the early 1960s when the land was 

first acquired. 

Today is a special day for the Terrace Community and I welcome you 

all. I am sure you will enjoy a day filled with Rugby from the under 13’s 

through to our First XV clash kicking off at 2.30pm. 

I am especially pleased that our good friends from Brisbane Grammar School are with us today. In 

2011 when we found ourselves with Tennyson out of action, Grammar and then Headmaster Mr 

Brian Short, provided us with a ‘home away from home’. 

So a very warm welcome to Grammar players and supporters and to those from other GPS schools 

competing today. 

We have a busy schedule planned of matches, activities, entertainment and the Blessing and Opening 

of the Old Boys’ Grandstand immediately before the main game. 

None of this would be possible without the very generous support of the Terrace Family, especially 

those who have contributed to the Tennyson Campaign, which was spearheaded by the Terrace 

Foundation. 

May all matches be played in the true spirit of the game. 

Please enjoy the day.

THE HISTORY OF TENNYSON 

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN… 

Tennyson was bought for £12,500 on 17 November 1961 when the need for larger playing 

grounds arose with the expanding school population. 

The land needed to be changed from cow paddocks to first class sporting fields. This 

required the help of Brothers, parents and students alike. From 1962 working bees 

were formed with rosters for the tireless weekend work that was needed to make the 

transformation. 

Carloads of men would arrive on the weekends, carrying their own tools and carting 

water in kerosene tins from the nearby Sea Scouts hut. Local turf was sourced, as it 

proved better than the bought turf. Car boots, trailers, barrows, cartons and hands 

delivered the turf to the prepared grounds, which were hard and difficult to work. 

The process at Tennyson brought the Terrace Community together with men working 

side by side every weekend, doing all they could to get the grounds up to standard. 

Men gave their time generously and worked tirelessly with bare hands and their own 

tools sustained by the lunches prepared by wives and mothers. 

The ovals were used for the first time in June 1964 for overflow Rugby games. Nine 

age division teams played against Ipswich Grammar. By August Tennyson was ready 

for major fixtures. 

Working bees continued throughout this time, completing the caretaker’s house, tree 

planting, completing the driveway and building the grandstand. 

The grandstand was made up of a galvanized roof supported by steel girders and 

posts on cement blocks. Concrete tiers were put in to hold the seats, which were 

brought from the assembly hall, repainted and braced. Additional seating was made 

and placed on concrete slabs around the oval. 

The year 1968 saw the last of the working bees after the canteen was built to supply 

the ever-growing demand of hungry boys and families. 

The grandstand was all but destroyed during the devastating floods of 2011.

0 Director of Sport 

Mr Damian Wright 

Welcome to Round 1 of GPS fixtures 

for Terrace hosting 

Brisbane Grammar School in 

Rugby and Basketball. 

The Basketball round will be 

spread across five courts (four 

venues) with BGS generously 

providing two courts to allow all 

boys from Years 5-12 the opportunity 

of playing on Saturday 

morning. It is a compressed 

schedule to allow boys from 

both communities the opportunity 

to travel to Tennyson to 

attend the opening of the Old 

Boys’ Grandstand. 

The Basketball program for 2014 

has been working hard behind 

the scenes - being heavily involved 

in club fixtures and attending 

training/skill sessions. 

This is a program moving forward 

with expert leadership 

from Sam Mackinnon and good 

coaching from many experienced 

men off the court –the 

shining lights being Matthew 

Hamilton-Smith and Andrew 

Latimer. Basketball is getting 

stronger at Terrace and the 

young men who will represent 

the College this weekend deserve 

recognition for their hard 

work. The First V are a strong 

team of very talented boys who 

are looking for back-to-back victories 

over BGS after winning 

their fixtures in 2013. 

The Rugby program is the largest 

of all the sporting programs 

at the College and encompasses 

well over 750 boys. With that 

many boys involved it is a 

challenge every week to find 

games, training fields, and especially 

suitable coaches. The 

task of steering this formidable 

program is assigned to Tyron 

Mandrusiak, one of nature’s 

true gentlemen, who is by far 

the most patient man I know in 

dealing with the numerous and 

varied elements of feedback he 

receives daily. 

It is appropriate to recognise the 

new opportunities for many in 

the Terrace Community upon 

reflection of the outstanding 

generosity of the BGS Community 

when we were at our neediest 

in 2011 following the floods. 

BGS opened their doors and 

their playing fields at Northgate 

to allow Terrace a home game. 

I wish all Terrace Gentlemen the 

best of luck for the season ahead 

– remembering to always compete 

to you highest level and 

at all times in the spirit of good 

sportsmanship and humility.

BLESSING AND OPENING 

OF THE OLD BOYS’ GRANDSTAND 


College Captain Nicholas Fidler 

Welcome to the Official Opening and Blessing of the new St Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace Old 

Boys’ Grandstand. 

The Very Reverend Dr David Pascoe 

God of wisdom and love, in 1961, you gathered the Christian Brothers, lay teachers, parents and young 

men of Terrace here at Tennyson as the Terrace Family to develop a place of belonging, companionship 

and community. 

The Tennyson playing fields have connected us with one another, our families and our stories. The 

floods of early 2011 were a reminder of how much we value this place of community and we rejoice 

in the opportunity for renewal and rebirth offered to us in coming home to Tennyson today. 

In our 139th year, we pray in thanksgiving for the gifts Tennyson has brought to our lives. We pray 

with gratitude for the continuing mission of the Christian Brothers and the unfolding dream of 

Blessed Edmund Rice. Their vision and commitment to the Gospel has lit a path for us to follow. We 

pray that this magnificent grandstand is a place where the light of Christ shines and spreads across 

our fields, igniting our boys with your Spirit and bringing our community together in Your Name. 

We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord. 

All: Amen 

We Listen to God’s Word

Blessing by Fr Pascoe 

And so with peace and thankfulness in our hearts, we ask for God’s blessing on each of us and on 

our extended community. We ask for God’s blessing on the Old Boy’s Grandstand as a place of special 

meaning for the community of Terrace. May this gathering place be a sign of opportunity and joy for 

all who come here to play, coach and support. 

The response is: 

Father:

A place of many blessings. 

May this be a place of rich journeys

May this be a place where laughter always greets you 


May this be a place of community in good times and in bad 


May this be a place of friendship and camaraderie 


And may this be a place where the great wisdom of serving God’s love for us all 

be present and real to all who walk on this land. 

All: 

A place of many blessings. 

Commissioning 

Father: 

Gracious God, we ask for your blessing on the students, staff and parents who gather at Tennyson. 

May they be drawn together in a spirit of co-operation and enthusiasm as they share their many gifts. 

May this place serve as a reminder of your presence in our lives. May it remind us of your constant 

love for each of us. We ask this through Christ our Lord. 

All: 

Amen. 

The Chapel Choir performs the College Song. 

Nicholas Fidler: Thanks the official party and particularly Fr Pascoe for joining us today.

Mr Tyron Mandrusiak 

The 2014 Terrace Rugby Program 

is well underway and will 

once again see a record number 

of boys pulling on the Red and 

Black butcher stripe jersey. A 

special welcome to our friends 

from Brisbane Grammar School. 

The Terrace Rugby Community 

has developed a solid foundation 

with clear goals and objectives. 

The Rugby program is 

committed to offering a safe and 

well - structured environment 

with the focus on participation, 

enjoyment and the opportunity 

to learn. In doing so, the program 

provides boys, coaches and referees 

with a strong framework 

for improvement and abundant 

opportunity to develop the key 

elements of Rugby. 

On Saturday, 38 teams will be 

taking the field to represent Terrace. 

With so many boys taking 

part, the program requires 

a huge amount of support. This 

is achieved by working in close 

partnership with the coaches 

and managers, referees, parents, 

doctors and sports aids. On 

behalf of the 750 boys playing 

Rugby – I thank you. 

I would like to particularly thank 

Mr Darren Round and the Rugby 

Supporters’ Group for the work 

they put into the program and 

making a day at Tennyson the 

best schoolboy Rugby can offer. 

0 Rugby First XV 

I would like to acknowledge all 

Open Rugby players and thank 

them for their efforts over the 

years playing Rugby at Terrace. 

These young men, along with 

the First XV, have played Rugby 

at Terrace, some since Year 5 in 

2007. Your parents have supported 

you through all those 

years… win, lose or draw. The 

Terrace Community is very 

proud of you and in your final 

year at Terrace we want to publically 

thank- you for pulling on 

the Red and Black jersey over 

many years. 

I would also like to take this opportunity 

to thank the coaches 

Anthony Gibb and Ben 

McCormack and manager 

Patrick Howell for their efforts. I 

also would like to acknowledge 

the efforts of our strength and 

conditioning coaches Simon 

Price and Jono Roussetos and 

physio David Bick. 

The First XV squad has shown 

good pre-season form, including 

on tour to Melbourne playing St 

Kevin’s College, practice matches 

against Ipswich Grammar 

School, Nudgee College and last 

weekend Brisbane Boys College. 

I am confident the First XV head 

into today’s game well prepared 

to take on BGS. 

A special mention to the First 

XV captain Connor Moroney on 

his selection in the Australian 

Schoolboys team. – Tyron Mandrusiak

0 Basketball - Mr Sam Mackinnon 

The 2014 GPS Basketball season 

tips off this Saturday with 

20 Terrace teams competing in 

Round 1 of games against Brisbane 

Grammar School. 

I would like to acknowledge the 

30-plus coaches who have been 

working with our young men 

from Year 5 through to the 1st 

V. It is exciting to see more than 

200 young men participate in 

the Basketball program and I 

hope we can strengthen and develop 

the program over the coming 

years. 

The Terrace season launch was 

held at Waterford Place last 

weekend and it was great to see 

so many of the younger years 

and their families in attendance 

and watch our 1st V team in a 

convincing win against St Peter’s. 

Thank-you to the Basketball Supporters’ 

Group, headed by Judy 

Soong, for their hard work in 

making this day such a success. 

The 1st V squad has enjoyed an 

excellent pre-season led by Mr 

Hamilton-Smith and Mr Latimer 

which included an intensive 

camp at Tallebudgera over the 

Easter break and 12 pre-season 

games, winning eight. 

In addition, many of the Terrace 

boys have been playing for 

Brothers in the U16 and U18 age 

groups at Auchenflower on Friday 

nights with positive results 


and four teams qualifying for finals. 

Our Primary Basketball teams 

compete in the GPS this season 

and we have five teams representing 

Years 5-7. For many, 

this is their first introduction to 

Basketball. The focus has been 

teaching basic fundamentals 

and team concepts to provide a 

strong foundation for our players 

as they start their Basketball 

journey at Terrace. 

I have been impressed by the 

players’ commitment and hard 

work and look forward to my 

first season being involved with 

Terrace Basketball. 

See you at the Terradome

Nick Fidler 

Over its 40-year history Tennyson 

has been one of the premier 

sporting facilities in the country. 

However, it means far more to 

the Terrace Family than that. It 

is a place where we are bound 

together, where each of us belongs 

and all of our talents can 

be found. 

In many ways, Tennyson is like a 

second home. That is not a platitude. 

It is simply the most apt description 

of the place Tennyson 

holds in our hearts. 

When you walk through its 

gates, as a Terracian, you know 

that it is your home. When you 

run onto the fields and begin to 

play, a sense of belonging and 

worthiness overwhelms because 

you know that every single one 

of your brothers wants you to 

succeed. It doesn’t matter if they 

are watching you play; your ability 

is not important; whether or 

not you are acquainted is even 

irrelevant. No matter what, they 

will show you nothing but encouragement 

on the field, because 

you all belong to the Red 

and Black. 

Your success is theirs too. 

I struggle to imagine many other 

times in a person’s life, when 

they might feel such a strong 

sense of belonging, worthiness 

and unity. Indeed, the absolute 

support of 1400 brothers is not 

common. That is why Terracians 

cherish each moment on these 

fields. 

The Old Boys’ Grandstand is a 

tribute to the rare gifts that 

Tennyson has brought us. For 

many years to come it will enhance 

the lives of thousands of 

many more Terracians.
