From the Editor 

Welcome to the final 

edition of The Georgian 

magazine for 2010. 

Now that the challenges faced by St George’s College in the wake 

of the massive hail storm in March have, for the most part, been 

resolved, the College looks forward to celebrating the completion 

of the major building works. The Grand Opening, which will include 

the formal naming and dedication of Newby Wing, Hackett Dining 

Hall, Rogerson Room and Elsey Room, will be held on 31 March 

2011. Our four major benefactors , David Newby (1962), Sir John 

Winthrop Hackett, Jean Rogerson and John Elsey (1941) are 

pictured below. More information can be found in the Warden’s 

report (p 5). 

I am incredibly appreciative of everyone who so willingly gave their 

time to assist with this year’s Annual Giving Programme, and the 

entire College community is very grateful for the strong show of 

support from those listed on page 6. Thanks especially to Peter 

Wreford (1963) for all of his contributions, including article writing 

and letter signing. The much needed work in the Dining Hall is 

taking place during the summer break and is due for completion 

in time for the start of the academic year in February 2011. 

Thank you to those who have contributed articles. Jeff Claughton 

(1970) wrote about his work at Fresh Start Recovery Programme 

with Dr George O’Neil (p 19) and Sara Peet (2003) wrote about 

Teach for Australia (p 20). Current residents Lucian Watkins 

reported on his trip to China with the Winthrop Singers (p 16) and 

Akram Azimi outlined his experiences in Singapore at the Tony Blair 

Faith Foundation Faith and Globalisation Conference (p 7). Thank 

you also to the Valedicts for writing the paragraphs about their 

future plans, which were read out at the Valedictory Dinner (p9). 

A number of images were supplied by our current residents. Jarrad 

Seng supplied the main photo on the cover of Valedict Catherine 

Miles and her father David Miles (1974), as well as the photos of 

the Valedictory Dinner (p 8), the Georgian Cocktail Party (p 22) 

and the chapel (p 15). Charles Bogle was the photographer at the 

SCR Mini Dinners (p 10). 

This volume includes a photograph of College Chef Andrew 

Kennedy picking the beetroot (p 3) that was planted amongst the 

ornamentals in the garden beds around the Quad. A report on 

this project (in conjunction with UWA) will be included in the next 

edition of The Georgian. Those interested in the College grounds 

are invited to attend the UWA Friends of the Grounds tour of the 

gardens at St George’s on Thursday 29 September 2011. 

I invite you to join the St George’s College Group on UWA’s Alumni 

Connect web site www.development.uwa.edu.au/alumni (p 17). 

The dates for our Christmas Carol Services in the Chapel can be 

found on page 15 and 21. 

Thank you to everyone for their contributions. Submissions and 

suggestions are always welcome. Creative writing of 400 words or 

less is also welcome. 

I hope you enjoy this edition of The Georgian magazine and I wish 

you all a safe and happy festive season.

4 The Georgian | December 2010

From the Warden 

A “Grand Opening” 

of the main elements of 

the recent major building 

program is scheduled for 

31 March 2011. 

This opening will include the formal naming and dedication of 

Newby Wing, Hackett Dining Hall, Rogerson Room and Elsey Room. 

Newby Wing was occupied on 24 March this year, two days after 

the 22 March hailstorm. The 30 student rooms and the two 

tutor fl ats of Newby Wing, together with the 18 student rooms of 

Memorial Wing which came on-stream in July 2007 has resulted in 

a more than 30% rise in student numbers which now total 210. 

St George’s College is committed to the view that coming to The 

University of Western Australia and residing in a college, with its 

range of great benefi ts, is a vastly superior university experience 

than that provided by living off campus. The College needs to 

balance the need and the will to provide the college experience 

to a greater number of young men and women with not allowing 

numbers to grow to the extent that the intimacy of the college 

community and the overall college experience is compromised. 

David Newby (1962) studied Law at UWA. He was at St George’s 

College for four years, 1962 – 1965, being Senior Student in his 

fi nal year. He was Western Australia’s Rhodes Scholar in 1966 

and spent two years at Wadham College, Oxford University. David 

became a partner at Robinson, Cox and Co at the age of 28 and 

in 1977 he joined the Mars Group. He subsequently became 

senior advisor to the Mars Family and Vice President, General 

Counsel and Secretary of Mars, Incorporated, 1998 – 2004 in 

Washington D.C. David forged a strong bond with St George’s 

College, not least with his Warden, Dr Reynolds, who David 

regarded as a wonderful mentor. 

David Newby’s extraordinary generosity, together with the 

funding partnership negotiated with UWA and support from other 

Georgians, in particular Sir Rod Eddington (1968), enabled Stage 

2 to be completed. In addition to Newby Wing the Stage 2 works 

included a new kitchen and servery, another common room (Music 

Room), a space for bicycles, a workshop and considerable storage. 

The March hailstorm resulted in signifi cant damage to the Dining 

Hall. Roof tiles were broken and as a result much of the canite 

ceiling was water damaged. The College’s comprehensive insurance 

cover will ensure that the majority of the costs of replacing dormers, 

replacing all of the tiles and fi tting a new ceiling will be covered 

by insurance. In addition the walls are to be re-rendered, the fl oor 

renovated and the windows repaired. These works will be carried out 

in the period November 2010 – February 2011. 

The Dining Hall is to be formally named after our great benefactor, 

Sir John Winthrop Hackett, exactly 100 years after The University 

of Western Australia was constituted by an act of the West 

Australian Parliament. Hackett was the principal driving force for the 

establishment of The University and its fi rst Chancellor (1912 – 1916). 

Jean Rogerson was a very prominent UWA identity for many years 

and served for three years from 1983 on the St George’s College 

Council. Ms Rogerson died in 1993 and by her will she directed 

that The University and each of the colleges along ‘College Row’ be 

her benefi ciaries. The old kitchen which had served the College well 

for 80 years has been gutted and renovated and is now a common 

room, decorated as a café. This space will be named Rogerson 

Room in recognition of Jean Rogerson’s most generous bequest. 

John Elsey (1941) studied law at UWA during which time he was 

a resident at St George’s College. His two periods at the College, 

1941 and 1946 – 1948 were interrupted by service in the RAAF in 

the European theatre. Towards the end of his life and subsequent 

to his death Mr Elsey was a very signifi cant benefactor of the 

College. The old servery which adjoins the Dining Hall has become 

another common room which acts from time to time as an annexe 

to the Dining Hall. This space will be named after John Elsey in 

recognition of his great generosity and commitment to the College. 

31 March 2011 promises to be a memorable and exciting day 

of celebration and refl ection as St George’s College enters its 

81st year.

Faith, Globalisation and Wandong Noodles 

L-R JADE ROBERTS (2007), JON BAKER, MICHAEL SHELDRICK, TONY BLAIR, AKRAM AZIMI, DANIEL STEPNIAK (2000) 

My experience of the National University of Singapore’s 

Faith and Globalisation Conference (30 July to 2 August 

2010) was life affirming. 

Made possible by the Tony Blair Faith Foundation (TBFF), the 

spiritually and intellectually rich, intense and vibrant gathering 

represents for me a quintessential fl ashbulb memory. 

With its vision of faith as a potential unifying global force in the 21th 

century and with the aid of cutting-edge internet technology, the TBFF 

is devoted to promoting understanding of the major religions and 

connecting young people around from around the world. 

This vision is based on the understanding that constructive 

interfaith dialogue is the most effective and peaceful means to 

a more harmonious world, because the opposite, silence and 

miscommunication, has clearly been the cause of much disharmony. 

A prerequisite for conference attendance was a deep passion for 

interfaith issues. Fortunately, I have received much experience of 

this during my residence at St George’s (with its very strong focus 

on fostering inter-faith education and discussion). 

As for Singapore, it was everything I had expected: perennially well 

lit, humid and bursting with life in everything direction. This was 

perhaps epitomised by my accommodation, the immense high rise 

student residences of NUS, which like most buildings in Singapore, 

attempted to conquer the sky. 

On the fi rst day of the conference I met some exceptional and 

inspiring students from universities from all over the world, 

including McGill, Peking, Monterrey and Yale University. I listened 

to the insights of esteemed professors on faith and globalisation. 

I explored fi rsthand the different places of worship in Singapore 

(a truly multicultural society) and studied how people of different 

faiths interact, confl ict and accommodate each other when their 

sacred spaces are often within earshot of one another. 

Interestingly, all these centres of worship expressed, in words 

and actions, genuine respect and appreciation for the “others”; 

I think this “we are all in this together” mentality, can partly be 

explained by the fact that everyone is, to some extent, a foreigner 

in Singapore. 

On the second day of the conference, I had the pleasure of 

meeting and conversing with Tony and Cherie Blair. 

On our last night together, we had an eight course Asian meal that 

I am still savouring—what a way to say goodbye to new friends! 

The next logical step following the conference is the 

commencement of a unit called Faith and Globalisation at UWA, 

which will feature cutting edge technology utilising Internet based 

global collaborative education. 

Finally, the conference made me refl ect on my own spirituality 

and I have reached the following conclusion: I am not certain that 

Gods exists, but I am certain that God is not non-existent either. 

Perhaps this is the lawyer in me playing it safe—Pascal style!

2010 Valedicts 

Andrew Ahmat 

Andrew has completed his Physics Honours and while he has no 

defi nite plans he would like to take a few years off to travel before 

possibly undertaking further studies overseas. 

Pat Anderson 

Pat is not yet sure where to apply the life skills he has gained from 

the last 3 years.Although he has received numerous offers from hair 

modelling companies, he would rather spend the rest of his life doing 

something which he holds closer to his heart. This probably means 

inheriting his old man’s lawn mowing business. 

Claire Bailey 

After graduating with an Arts Degree Claire hopes to get a job in 

the public sector. She is also considering postgraduate studies in 

public health or health promotion. If that doesn't keep her occupied 

she plans to gain a better understanding of string theory and the 

quantum-critical state of electrons, thus solving the mystery of high 

temperature super-conductivity. 

Lynton Bennett 

After spending more time at College than anyone who has been here 

less than 6 years, Lynton will be travelling overseas before starting work 

at the Department of Premier and Cabinet in February. John Inverarity 

once told Lynton’s parents that they had better not keep their son away 

from St George’s for too long otherwise he would get the shakes. We will 

soon fi nd out if this was a joke or a statement of fact. 

Giuliano Bosio 

Giuliano will be graduating in Civil Engineering. He is considered to be 

the “Hall B Patriarch” after residing there for 4 years. He will be back 

in Perth next year after summer holiday in Mauritius, his country of 

origin. He plans to work casually during 2011 in order to travel and 

start his Masters in 2012. 

Sara Damiani 

Sara hails from California and is affectionately known as the College 

matron. She came to College in 1935 to study medicine. Now that 

she has fi nally fi nished her degree she is ready to compete to be 

the world’s least muscular (but very pleasant and certainly pretty) 

orthopaedic surgeon. 

Cameron Fosbery 

Cameron is undertaking a Diploma of Graduate Education next year, 

after which he will use his fi nely honed verbal skills to (in his own 

words) “teach children how to do stuff. And get paid for it. Wicked.” 

Grey Johnston 

Grey feels very fortunate to have spent his fi ve years studying 

Engineering and Economics at St George's College and is very sad to 

be leaving. Grey accepts that the next fi ve years can not possibly be 

as good, but is still excited about the future. He hopes to do some 

postgraduate study before contemplating the prospect of employment. 

He is, however, extremely concerned about his chances of survival as 

he will not have Nicola, Jess, Margaret, Colleen, Sonja, Leanne and 

Anne-Marie looking after him! 

Elle Linfoot 

Elle has completed her Arts Degree and will fi nish Law next year. Over 

the summer she will undertake vacation clerkships at commercial law 

fi rms to fi nd the right fi rm with whom to spend her graduate years. Elle 

would eventually like to settle in mergers and acquisitions 

Pippa Lund 

Pippa has lived at College for 3 years. If you haven’t seen her, it 

is because she has been watching movies or sleeping or eating 

copious amounts of chocolate. Ironically she is about to graduate 

from Exercise and Health Science. She hopes to continue next year at 

Curtin in a Masters of Occupational Therapy. 

Rachel Paterson 

After four years, Rachel is leaving St George’s and UWA with Advanced 

Science Honours in Genetics. She spent her fi nal year studying an 

inherited eye disease and is applying for PhD scholarships to continue 

her studies in Medical Research. 

Damien Pontifex 

After fi nishing uni Damien wishes to travel and take a break, but 

also fi nd an overseas university at which to do Honours and a PhD in 

Nanotechnology. Whilst pursuing these studies he plans to discover 

something new and amazing that will change the world and allow 

him to retire and cruise around the world on his yacht while still 

reasonably young. 

Matt Sims 

Simsy will graduate this year with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of 

Education and hopes to teach in a high school in 2011. He has loved 

living at College, especially since he moved away from the notoriously 

rowdy South G and into the glorious heights of South B, with all the girls. 

Shana Sylvester 

Three years ago Shana moved to Perth from her village market in 

Kenya. She was very excited by all the new things she found here – 

for instance, the big grey things you ride into town had wheels instead 

of trunks. Next year she will be starting a post-grad course in speech 

pathology at Curtin. 

Hannah Thornton 

Hannah Thornton is the energetic RA who cycles or walks everywhere 

FAST! Hannah will graduate from Geography and Environmental 

Management and will commence Honours next year in Urban and 

Regional Town Planning. Any towns Hannah plans will be greatly 

biased towards cyclists and motorist should be aware that they will no 

longer have right of way. 

Nick Travers 

Next year Nick hopes to continue to save the world one equation at a 

time, pursuing an Honours Degree in Applied Financial Mathematics. 

Nick has thoroughly enjoyed his four years at the College. He hopes to 

one day prove that thinking in binary is not necessarily as limiting as 

one might think. 

Trenton Warburton 

Trent is graduating with Honours in Biomechanics and is not exactly 

sure what he is doing next but hopes to be in elite sport somewhere. 

He is looking at doing a PhD but he is pretty keen for some time off fi rst. 

Cheryl Wheatley 

Everyone at College knows Cheryl Wheatley. She has been here for 4 

years, and during that time she has probably had a lengthy dialogue 

at you. As much as Cheryl can talk, she is also kind and caring which 

makes her perfect teacher material. Cheryl will graduate from Health 

and Physical Education this year after graduating from Sports Science 

last year. 


SCR Mini Dinners 

Each year, the Senior 

Common Room (SCR) 

organises a number of 

events to facilitate the 

communal life of the 

College. Mini Dinners, 

Wine & Cheese Nights 

and Careers Evenings 

are some of the events 

designed to achieve this. 

A Mini Dinner is an opportunity for all members of the 

College to attend a formal occasion at which a guest 

speaker will present an address. Our residents benefi t from 

the content of that address as well as the context in which 

it’s presented. Residents are also welcome to invite their 

parents and guardians to attend the evening. 

Senior Academic Tutor Sarah Gador-Whyte organised this 

year’s Mini Dinners, the fi rst of which was held in August. 

The guest speaker was the CEO of Teach For Australia, 

Melodie Potts Rosevear. The primary objective of Teach 

for Australia is to improve student outcomes in areas 

of educational disadvantage. They do this by recruiting, 

training and supporting university graduates to teach in 

disadvantaged high schools for two years. Over time, a 

network of alumni will form, who are interested in and 

knowledgeable about schools and education, committed 

to educational equity and destined to become exceptional 

leaders. Georgian Sara Peet (2003) is moving to Victoria 

in January to take part in the Teach For Australia program, 

see page 20 for her story. 

The second SCR Mini Dinner was held in October and 

Professor Stephan Lewandowsky was the guest speaker. 

Professor Lewandowsky is a Professorial Fellow at the 

School of Psychology at UWA, and he spoke to dinner 

guests about the psychology of climate change denial. 

Georgians who assisted with the Annual Giving Programme 

by signing letters were also invited to attend, and enjoyed 

the opportunity to chat to current residents.

Going With the Flow 

The life of a university student is full of timetables, 

deadlines and a myriad of extra-curricular commitments, 

but in visiting the beautiful Kimberley we were taught 

the value of just going with the flow of life. 

It was a cold winter’s morning when the 15-strong group from St 

George’s College gathered, bright eyed and bushy tailed for what 

was to be the beginning of an unforgettable week. We made our 

way to the airport with a mixture of trepidation and excitement for 

although some had made the trip before, none of us were quite 

sure of what to expect on our journey. 

This was the third year that a group from St George’s had attended 

the Kimberley Youth Camp. Traditionally held on the banks of 

the Fitzroy River next to the Looma Aboriginal Community, this 

year was different. We would be travelling to One Arm Point, a 

community approximately 200km north of Broome, where we were 

to be camping on the beach along with the kids from Looma who 

were coming by bus to meet us there. 

We stepped off the plane at Broome airport expecting warm 

sunny skies but were surprised to fi nd out that even Broome can 

be overcast and cold. Soon we hit the road, the bitumen quickly 

turning to red dirt, but we made good time and eventually arrived 


in One Arm Point. Heading out to the beach, the cars were fi lling 

with excitement. What would the kids be like? What activities 

would we do? Would we be able to pitch our tents so that they 

stayed upright? 

While some of ‘the lads’ settled in by kicking the footy with the 

Looma boys, the rest of our crew chatted around the fi re pit 

with our fellow campers and the camp organisers. The camp 

is organised and run by Pastor Jamie Short from Looma with 

assistance from the Crossroads Bible church in Perth. Whilst they 

kept us nourished, both physically and spiritually, it was our duty 

to run activities for the kids during the day. 

On just one of the days we worked together in our four teams 

in many ways: completing a near-impossible obstacle course 

exhibiting supreme jumping, climbing and teamwork skills; 

displaying our passion and skills in sweaty volleyball games and 

exploring our creativity through sand sculptures of people, boats 

and local animals. After lunch, we went swimming at the beach

ST GEORGE’S, CROSSROADS CHURCH, LOOMA AND ONE ARM POINT CAMPERS 

before we jumped in the buses and went to the local fi sh hatchery, 

where the locals had a laugh scaring us while feeding the aggressive 

barramundi and beautiful turtles. Arriving home from the hatchery, 

everyone collaborated to make to huge banners to remember the 

camp, with handprints and pictures all over them. Relaxed basketball 

and football games kept us busy outside while we waited for dinner. 

Afterwards we played Jamie’s ‘Six Senses’ game – involving hilarious 

activities including singing, Chinese Whispers and blindfolded 

volunteers smelling the worst thing imaginable – Lucian’s 3-day-old 

smelly socks. 

As much as we enjoyed the organised activities, it was during down 

time that we got to really bond with the kids. During mealtimes there 

were always jokes being shared as the cheeky wit of the kids was 

on full display. We witnessed their amazing athletic ability during 

the casual games of basketball or kicking the footy. In fact, there 

was rarely a moment during the whole trip that someone wasn’t 

bouncing or kicking a ball around the place. Even when we were 

meant to be sleeping we got to know our new friends, with the girls 

often chatting and dancing with one another late into the night. 

It wasn’t all plain sailing, however. On the second day we received 

a storm warning and had to evacuate the beach, moving to the 

school and the hall in the middle of town. This storm caused 

the road to Broome to be closed down and we were told that we 

might be staying put for the best part of another week. As much 

fun as we had been having, by the fourth night some of us were 

beginning to miss our creature comforts, such as sleeping indoors 

on a bed. But you’ve got to go with the fl ow, so we set about 

making plans for more activities, whilst keeping an eye on the skies. 

By mid-afternoon the next day, news came through. The road 

to Broome was open but with more rain coming, it would not 

stay that way for long. We decided to make a dash for it, quickly 

packing and throwing our gear into the 4WDs. Saying our goodbyes 

were the toughest part of our trip, made more diffi cult by what 

had become an unexpectedly rushed departure. Although it had 

been just a few short days, we had formed very strong friendships 

and connections. Hugs and well-wishes were exchanged, as were 

contact details. We waved goodbye and as we pulled out of town 

we shed some tears, for we had fallen in love not only with the 

beautiful Kimberley, but also its beautiful people. 

We must thank St George’s College for providing us with this 

opportunity, as well as the Goodeve foundation, Tony Munday, 

UWA’s Equity and Diversity Department and the Bunbury Women’s 

Interest Group for their fi nancial support which made this journey 

possible. We also thank Pastor Jamie and the Crossroads crew for 

inviting us to join them and for looking after us for those four days. 

A special mention goes to Richard Pengelley who organised and 

supported our group before, during and after the trip, becoming 

a friend and mentor to us all. But most of all, we thank the kids 

of the Looma and One Arm Point communities. They made it one 

of the most unforgettable experiences that we will ever have, and 

taught us about their lives, ourselves and the importance of just 

going with the fl ow. 

STEVE LOFTHOUSE, AKRAM AZIMI & ROSE DEVEREAUX 

“The most unexpected and heart-warming moment for me was the afternoon of our last full day at the camp, I was 

getting doted on by two young Indigenous girls – Eliza was painting my nails while Shevaun put make-up on my face. 

Everyone else kept laughing at me when they walked past and I couldn’t work out why – when they fi nally held a 

mirror to my face, I was shocked to see that my face, neck, shoulder and arm had all been covered in the darkest 

shade of foundation I have ever seen. Shevaun giggled “Now you’re like me, a blackfella”. I had been accepted.

Uni Games 2010 

The past few years have 

seen a marked increase 

in the number of St 

George’s College residents 

representing the University 

in intervarsity sporting 

competition. 

This phenomenon is no doubt due to the athletic prowess of 

Collegians, but also the allure of the many off-fi eld attractions of 

the Australian University Games. Uni Games was hosted this year 

by UWA over the fi nal week of September, and in a spectacular 

result for the home team the University emerged from the 

competition as overall champion for the fi rst time in the history 

of the Games. 

Both the current and former residents of the College made 

signifi cant contributions to this victory, and six were named in 

the respective ‘Green & Gold’ teams which recognise the players 

of the tournament in each sport. Ben Anderson (2008) and Pete 

O’Rourke (2006) were selected in the Green & Gold team for 

football, and along with George Cunningham and Tom O’Rourke 

(2005) were part of the University side that won gold in Aussie 

Rules for the fi rst time. Rachel Paterson and Emily Randell were 

members of the UWA women’s footy team that missed seeing 

fi nals action on percentage, and Rachel was again awarded Green 

& Gold selection for her performance. 

The University men’s and women’s soccer teams both won gold, 

and women’s team captain Adele Gardiner (2008) was rewarded 

for her part in the victory with Green & Gold selection. Swiss 

import Beat Roethlisberger was given Green & Gold selection for 

handball for his performance as part of the UWA side that was 

University 

Prize 

Winners 

The Engineers’ Club Prize was awarded 

to Daniel Engelke by the Board of 

Examiners in Engineering, Computing 

and Mathematics. The prize goes to the 

student who has gained the highest 

average mark in the foundation core units 

for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering 

completed within the fi rst year of full-time 

study. Daniel received this award for his 

end of year exam results in 2009. He is 


a second year student at the College, 

from Bunbury. 

The Board of Examiners in the Faculty 

of Medicine, Dentistry and Health 

Sciences awarded Ashleigh Punch the 

Hlavacek Prize. The prize is awarded to 

the student who has obtained the highest 

aggregate marks for the Level 1 core units 

in the course for the degree of Bachelor 

of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. 

Ashleigh received this award for her end 

of year exam results in 2009. She is now 

completeing second year Medicine at 

UWA and is from Mandurah. 

The UWA Centenary Trust for Women 

awards 5 scholarships each year. Two 

pipped by Curtin in the gold medal match. There were fi ve College 

representatives in the netball competition; Kate Edgeloe, Pippa 

Lund and Emma Reynalds (2008) were part of the women’s team 

whilst Grey Johnston and Tao Mantaras played ‘mixed’ for the UWA 

Mighty Ducks. Kate was another of the College residents rewarded 

with Green & Gold selection. 

The St George’s connection continued throughout the entire 

spectrum of sports. Malindi Haggett and Alice Henderson were 

both members of the victorious UWA women’s fencing team, whilst 

George Croucamp and Aria Lokon, who took up fencing in order 

to get to the Games, competed with valour but somewhat less 

success. Rowan Clark (2008) and Todd Allen (2006) were part of 

the lawn bowls team that had to settle for bronze for the second 

year in a row, and Leo Allen (2008) was part of the rugby 7’s team 

that just missed out on gold. Finally, Alistair Marchesi and Nils 

Matthies were members of the sailing team that won the inaugural 

Uni Games match racing competition in dominant fashion and 

Alex Watson again rowed successfully for the University. 

In what has been a successful year for sport at the University, 

residents of the College were also key players in the eleventh 

successive victory by the University in the Tertiary Sports WA 

competition, as well as members of the various University sporting 

clubs and the UWA team which triumphed in the inaugural TSWA 

Regional Challenge. The leading role of Collegians in sport at 

the University is set to continue in 2011, especially as Alistair 

Marchesi and Emma Reynalds (2008) have recently been elected 

to the positions of Sports Council President and Guild Sports 

Representative respectively.

JE

Chapel Report 2010 

As usual it’s been both a busy and 

a quiet year in the chapel. After the 

Commencement ceremony (where 

the chapel was packed), came the 

great storm of March ’10. The chapel 

suddenly became its own rainforest 

meditation centre – complete with the 

sound of running water streaming down 

the walls. In spite of this challenge, our 

regular pattern of prayer and worship 

(Sunday Eucharist and Thursday 

Evensong led by the UWA Winthrop 

Singers) continued albeit in rather cold 

and damp conditions. 

Highlights for the year included our Easter services, annual 

Requiem with war poetry for Anzac Day (this year Rutter’s), the 

college play, numerous concerts, 25 weddings, 5 baptisms and 

a couple of funerals. We had a delightful Valedictory service in 

October and at the time of this going to print, we are looking 

forward to the 50 Year Club service in late November and our 

wonderful Christmas carol services at 7pm on 16 and 17 

December and midnight mass at 11pm on Christmas Eve. 

A lovely addition for a while this year was a late Sunday evening 

‘Chill Out in the Chapel’ relaxation session. The roof has 

been repaired, the bell and bell tower await repair, and in the 

meantime the chapel continues to be a home for prayer, music, 

drama and Christian fellowship. In fact the Sunday evening 

worshipping community has donated over $1500 this year to 

Anglicare for its work with homeless people in Perth and to 

the Pakistan Flood Relief Appeal. Thanks to my colleague Rev 

Michael Wood (the UWA Anglican chaplain), and to tutor Sarah 

Gador-Whyte and her husband Michael Champion for their 

continuing support. 

Have a safe and meaningful Christmas. 

RICHARD PENGELLEY 

CHAPLAIN 

Christmas Carol Services will be held at the Chapel on December 16th and 17th at 7pm. The 

Winthrop Singers will be singing carols they have recorded on their second CD, ‘A Mediterranean 

Christmas’, which will be available for sale after the Carol Service: what a lovely Christmas present 

the new CD will make!! The CD will also be available for sale at the College Offi ce. 


The Winthrop Singers Trip to China 

A GREAT RECEPTION FOR THE WINTHROPS' FIRST CONCERT 

In early August of this year, I was fortunate enough to travel 

to Beijing with the Winthrop Singers to participate in the 

29th International Society for Music Education (ISME) World 

Conference. This experience has been, without a doubt, one of the 

most formative of my life so far, not only because it was musically 

challenging, but for the wealth of knowledge 

I gained about China and its culture. 

Our week in Beijing was jam-packed to say the least. We gave four 

concerts in total; two concerts at the Conference Centre (within 

walking distance to the Olympic Bird’s Nest and Water Cube), a 

concert at the National Centre for the Performing Arts and a Fringe 

Concert in conjunction with a local choir, the Beijing Baroque 

Choir. Our performances were well received and enthusiastically 

applauded by hundreds of local Chinese. Our fi rst concert was 

attended by over 400 people – a reception we did not expect! 

As well as performances we gave a workshop in Kodaly and chord 

singing, led by our esteemed director, Nicholas Bannan. This was 

a tremendous success and we were asked to be in approximately 

10,000 photos! What was rewarding for us was that we could 

communicate and share musical knowledge with complete 

strangers, which demonstrated in my eyes the power of music, 

particularly choral singing. 

Aside from the Conference program, we had plenty of time to fi t in 

some culture. On the second night we watched the Peking Opera, 

which was a both an eye-opening and ear-blasting experience. The 

next day we visited the Bird’s Nest, the extraordinary architectural 

centrepiece of the 2008 Olympic Games, which was aweinspiring. 

It literally blew my mind to behold the athletics track on which 

Usain Bolt and other athletes had performed their miracles. 

Shortly after, Richard Pengelley and I swam in the practise pool 

inside the Water Cube, which no doubt had been a dream for 

Richard for some time. We also walked through Tiananmen Square 

and strolled through the Forbidden City amongst crowds hundreds 

of thousands strong. Equally fun was bartering for tacky goods at 

the Silk Markets, and the favourable exchange rate ensured that 


everyone got a “bargain”. The absolute highlight for me was having 

a traditional Noodle dish for my birthday (on the fi fth day) and 

then climbing a 900 metre high section of the Great Wall. It was 

amazing to get up so high and above the smog of Beijing. Equally 

thrilling was to imagine the work that must have gone into such a 

massive engineering task. 

Beijing surprised me in many ways. Firstly, the infrastructure is 

world class. The highways, railways, malls and facilities were top 

drawer; sometimes we had to remind ourselves that we were in 

a Communist country. We were given a reminder of this when we 

got lost trying to fi nd an Italian restaurant and found ourselves 

in the Russian District; a precinct that I assume was built when 

the partnership with the former USSR was strong. Secondly, 

the people were so enthusiastic to meet us especially at the 

Conference. Our tour guide, Mary, was a particularly kind lady 

and we were able to communicate with many Chinese thanks to 

her fl uent translations. 

THE WINTHROP SINGERS PANDA TO ALL TASTES....

Overall I really enjoyed the Winthrop Singers Tour to China; 

I believe we made strong cultural connections at the Conference 

and represented The University of Western Australia and St 

George’s College to the best of our ability, both in performance 

and our Workshop demonstrations. I would like to thank Nicholas 

Bannan, who conceived the idea of going to ISME and led us 

with distinction, the University and the College for giving us the 

opportunity to travel, my fellow choir members for being such 

great people to travel with and Richard and Jo Pengelley for 

providing logistical and moral support.

St George’s College resident choir,the Winthrop Singers, has 

performed Evensong or a Eucharist every Thursday in term time 

since its formation in March 2007, writes their conductor Nicholas 

Bannan. The choir operates an outreach policy that has taken 

them to Albany, Denmark, New Norcia and Geraldton to provide 

workshops and concerts and fl y the fl ags of UWA and St George’s. 

Increasingly they have addeda bracket of songs from Broadway 

and Hollywood to the sacred repertoire they sing in Chapel. This 

turned out to be a life-saver on their fi rst overseas tour in August, 

as their danced versions of Broadway classics proved immensely 

popular with Chinese audiences, and also because a sensitive 

censor drew the blue pencil through some of their initial selection 

for being ‘too Christian’. With some judicious re-balancing of 

programmes, the Winthrops surmounted this hurdle, andas the 

ISME Conference is carried out under UNESCO protocols with 

regard to cultural openness and freedom of information, were 

able to perform sacred music written by UWA students to great 

acclaim. Chaplain Richard Pengelley and his wife Joanne took the 

wonderful photographs that accompany this article, and proved 

indispensible to the success of the tour in their roles as pastoral 

advisors and tour leaders.

The Little Dragon 

Georgian President’s Report 

MICHELLE GODLEY (1993) & CAITLIN MOUSTAKA 

It is that time of year again…November has arrived, Christmas 

is fast upon us and 2010 is drawing to a close. This is my fi nal 

report as President of The Georgians and I would like to take this 

opportunity to thank the Georgians who have been members of 

the committee for their support, friendship and hard work. 

Throughout the year The Georgians aim to host a number of events 

designed to allow people to maintain their social connections 

with past students and associations with the College. Thanks go 

to Ian Clarke (1976) who hosted the After Works Drinks event 

at Macquarie in September and Justine Maldon (1994), John 

After Work 

Drinks 

@ Macquarie 

Courtesy of Ian Clarke (1976), a hard-working group of 

Georgians were delighted to enjoy after work drinks at 

Macquarie on St Georges Terrace in early September. 

Georgians spent 3 hours discussing power boating 

on the Swan, iPhone app development, mentoring for 

College residents, happy departures (of a career kind), 

rain (or the lack of it) in the Wheatbelt, the GFC and a 

host of other delightful topics over a wonderful array 

of beverages and canapés in the board room. A lovely 

view saw dusk turn to night as we beheld the glittering 

lights upon the Swan. Photos were taken, however 

an Apple iOS4.2 update saw fi t to revert the author’s 

iPhone to its original state, sans said photos. 

A most enjoyable evening thank you Ian! 

Georgians are invited to contact The Georgians for 

the next After Works drinks in Perth via the editor –

RUSSELL O’CALLAGHAN (1982) 


Watson (1989) and Russell O’Callaghan (1982) who organised 

and hosted the annual Cocktail Party in October. The last event of 

the year was the Annual Georgian Picnic, held on the College front 

lawn in November. Thanks to Justine Maldon (Milton-Smith 1994) 

for all her hard work organising such a great day. 

Being President has been an honour and a privilege and I have 

loved the opportunity to be involved in the College once again. 

As a member of The Georgian committee I have been able to see 

a different side of College to that which I saw as a student in the 

mid nineties. College and the past and current students are a 

refl ection of the amazing, committed and passionate people that 

are responsible for the welfare of students, ongoing sustainability 

of College and providing opportunities to students to aspire to 

great things. At a recent formal dinner at College, which I shared 

with a number of current students, I discovered that once a St 

George’s College student, always a College student…the pranks 

are largely the same, as is the support and camaraderie! 

I encourage anyone who is interested in The Georgian committee 

and participating in the College community to join The Georgian 

committee by attending the AGM at 5pm on Saturday 5 February 

2011 at the College. 

Have a great and safe Christmas.

Careers Evening 

On Monday October 11, students gathered on lounges and beanbags 

in the Junior Common Room, listening to fi ve Georgians sharing their 

life experiences and career advice. Richard Paton (1979), Brett Watson 

(1987), John Watson (1989), Brian Pontifex (1988) and Angus Turner 

(1995) entertained and provided pearls of wisdom in a very informative 

and interactive ‘career panel’ session. 

Afterwards, wine and cheese was served providing an opportunity for 

mingling and individual chats between students and the fi ve professionals. 

The Careers Evening is part of the new St George’s Careers Program 

offered to students in the College, alongside assistance with job 

applications, writing CVs and generally looking for work beyond Uni days. 

In 2011, the College would also like to match students to a Georgian 

mentor – someone who would be willing to provide individual advice 

during the course of a student’s degree. Thank you to those Georgians 

who have already responded to the call in the last magazine. If 

you would like to help as a mentor, and/or participate in a Careers 

Evening next year, please contact either Josephine Evans (josephine@ 

stgeorgescollege.com.au) or Sarah Grimes (sarah1grimes@gmail.com) 

before 10 January 2011. Interstate and overseas Georgians are also 

welcome to mentor via email and Skype.

From Helping Businesses to the Business of Helping 

FRESH START EXECUTIVE OFFICER DR KHIM HARRIS (1983) AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER JEFF CLAUGHTON (1970) 

When my son Daniel (1998) graduatedwith a MBBS in 2004 I 

had no idea that I would be following his footsteps into a career 

in Medicine. Having spent a very long time in the fi eld of public 

accounting I thought I would continue to work as a taxation and 

business consultant. However I now fi nd that in my role as CEO 

of the Fresh Start Recovery Programme in Subiaco, I am more 

interested in patients than in budgets! 

The Fresh Start programme was founded in 1998 by Dr George 

O'Neil and helps families struggling with addictions. With a focus 

on treatment and recovery from opiate addiction, we have assisted 

more than 7000 patients in the past 13 years. Each week we run 

two treatment days when we usually see between 10 to 20 patients 

for opiate detox. We work holistically with patients to address the 

many medical and social issues that are typically presented by 

someone recovering from what is usually a long-term addiction. 

This is an enormous task and we rely on a staff of over 70 and more 

than 60 volunteers to provide this service. There is an enormous 

amount of “heart” involved in this work and everyone contributes 

far more than their job title or role description would suggest. 

The choice of treatment for a drug user who is seeking help has 

an enormous effect on the user, their family and the community 

as a whole. The two main choices available in Australia are 

maintenance and abstinence. Maintenance treatments include 

methadone and buprenorphine, which aim to transfer addiction 

from illicit drugs to a safer alternative, are well-known and widely 

accessible. Abstinence and recovery-focused programs such 

as Fresh Start, however, are much less common. Our program, 

which uses naltrexoneto assist with withdrawal and relapse 

prevention,aims to help the drug users cease their addiction. 

It is well documented that drug users have a reduced ability to be 

a productive member of society and this has a huge effect on the 

whole community. Fresh Start’s approach is to help whole families, 

not just the family member who presents with an addiction 

problem. The majority of our patients present with a member of 

their family or with the aim of reuniting with their family. This is a 

powerful motivation for their recovery. The whole family unit needs 

to be involved in the prevention of drug use and this need for 

involvement transfers across the whole “family” at Fresh Start. 

In early November it was announced that Dr George O’Neil 

has been shortlisted as a West Australian fi nalist for the 2011 

Australian of the Year awards for his work 

My work at Fresh Start is like nothing else I have ever done. I gain 

great support and encouragement from my own family who I’m 

sure sometimes wonder what happened to the accountant. 

Daniel in the meantime has gone to work as a GP in the Northern 

Territory. He lives in an indigenous community in Arnhem Land and 

when I visited him last year he seemed to spend a lot of time fi shing 

and hunting. I have offered him a job here in Subiaco but I don’t 

think I can compete with the fringe benefi ts he is currently enjoying.

Teach for Australia 

L-R TOSHA PATEL (2006), KRUTI PATEL (2003), JESS MACGOWAN (2004), STEVE LOFTHOUSE, SARAH PEET (2003) 

I always told myself that 

I would never be a teacher. 

Having grown up surrounded by my parents and their friends, who 

were teachers, teaching had never interested me and I wanted to 

branch out into something new. 

I studied geology and graduated at a time when there was a boom 

in the mining industry, so it was assumed that I would easily fi nd a 

well-paid job. After fi nishing my degree, instead of actually getting 

a job I decided to skip that natural progression and trotted off 

overseas for a year. This, of course, was when the GFC exploded 

in our faces. The job that I had lined up for my return fell through 

and I came back to Australia broke and jobless – and so began 

the hunt for work. 

I had been searching for about a month when I came across an 

ad in the paper for jobs at Scitech, Western Australia’s hands-on 

science centre with exhibitions, programs and services designed 

for people of all ages. The job was with Scitech’s outreach 

department, and promised travel all over WA taking science to 

the children in places like the Kimberley, Pilbara, Cocos (Keeling) 

Islands, remote aboriginal communities and also other less 

interesting places like Bunbury. The idea of travelling around the 

State for work appealed to me instantly (even if it was to Bunbury) 

and I thought that it would be fun to work at Scitech – but only for 

a year of course, just until the industry recovered enough to start 

recruiting again. 

Two years later, I am still at Scitech, and I love it. I have been to 

some amazing places and done some amazing things, all the 

while communicating my love of science in the most fun way 

possible – blowing bubbles and exploding things. I now coordinate 

the Outreach Early Childhood program, and have had amazing 

opportunities developing the program and building all sorts of 

crazy exhibits. Recently I organised a day-long photo shoot that 

saw 20 children under the age of 5 come through and model for 


an activity book that I am creating – who was it who said never 

work with children or animals? 

Scitech gave me a passion for education that I never expected, 

and I seriously considered applying to study for a Diploma of 

Education and getting into teaching. When I said this to a friend 

of mine, she told me about a program called Teach for Australia. 

This program, she said, takes enthusiastic and motivated university 

graduates with a passion for education, but no education 

qualifi cations, and sends them out to disadvantaged schools to 

teach in their fi eld. They pay our university fees and a salary while 

we are simultaneously teaching and studying. 

This sounded like the perfect opportunity for me, it ticked all the 

boxes as far as I was concerned – it provided me with a Diploma 

from Melbourne University; it put me into the classroom straight 

away(I didn’t have to wait); there is a fabulous support network 

and mentoring structure in place; it paid a salary AND uni fees 

so I didn’t have to live like a student again; and we would be 

placed into schools in disadvantaged areas. This last point might 

seem like a strange thing to consider a highlight, however, having 

travelled around the State and visited all sorts of different schools 

and educational institutions in all different settings and locations, 

I really wanted to get out there and make a difference in the 

places that need it the most. 

So I decided go for it, and submitted my application with about 30 

seconds to spare (I’m not joking – it’s time stamped 11:59pm). 

After a rigorous interview process, I was accepted into the program 

as part of the 2011 cohort. After a short, but intensive stint in 

Melbourne to learn everything there is to know about teaching 

in 6 weeks, I will be heading out to Warrnambool, a town about 

3.5 hours out of Melbourne along the Great Ocean Road. I will 

be there for 2 years, teaching secondary science, and hopefully 

putting my Scitech experience to good use by engaging with and 

motivating students to love Science as much as I do!

Victorian Georgians learn of home and far away 

The VGs held another 

happy function on 1st 

October. Around twenty 

Georgians and partners 

gathered at a new 

venue, The Swiss Club, 

conveniently situated 

near the city centre. It is 

always difficult to somehow 

capture a little of the very 

busy lives of the thirty 

to fifty age group. It was 

pleasing that a number 

of new business attendees 

were able to join us. 

The luncheon was timed to coincide with a trip to the Eastern 

States by Warden John Inverarity. He gave us a comprehensive 

word and pictorial account of the extensive work entailed in fi rst 

repairing the damage from the severe hail storm over the College, 

and then the signifi cant additions to the structure raising the 

accommodation capacity to 210 residents. College has changed 

vastly from the days of the older Georgians but certainly for the 

better. It always was, but is now an even better place to not only 

practice an academic, but also learn more about life itself through 

those vital late teen, early twenties in a student’s life. 

Tim Richards (1982) accompanied by his wife, novelist Narelle 

Harris, followed John with a fascinating insight into the “Life of 

a Travel Writer.” As well as visiting almost every continent in the 

world, Tim told us something of he and Narelle’s lives while living

in Poland soon after the Wall came down. We certainly have some 

very interesting and capable members in our ranks. While Tim 

told us of many good times in their lives he spoke also of the 

signifi cant challenges one encounters in the life of a travel writer. 

The formal side of the luncheon closed with an account by Ted 

Mouritz (1955) of the progress of the Victorian Georgians Travel 

Prize. Three participants to date have visited Victoria in connection 

with this award. While each has valued their visit, VGs feel that 

the terms of the prize need to be reviewed further so that VGs can 

be more involved, other than just contributing money. And further 

participants can learn more of what is available in this state in 

our efforts to help them per medium of this prize. (Ted has since 

held a further review and will be contacting VGs and the College 

directly, to advise certain recommendations). 

While most business attendees at the luncheon slipped away 

around 2.00pm, the rest stayed till after three testifying to the 

good fellowship enjoyed on top of the excellent Swiss menu of 

an hour or so before. Many expressed their satisfaction with the 

venue and it is likely we will meet their again. 

Our next function is an after work drinks gathering in the rooms of 

Sir Rod Eddington (1968) on 2 December. George Lefroy (1960) 

P 03 9867 2115 is organising this with Rod and Georgians will be 

contacted directly with specifi c details. 

Looking forward to seeing all who can attend on 2 December, and 

the compliments of the season to all others.

Georgian Cocktail Party 

The Georgian Cocktail 

Party was held on Saturday 

2nd October from 6.30pm 

to 9.30pm. The event was 

well attended with upwards 

of 60 people attending 

throughout the evening. 

The night was nominally an informal reunion for 1990 and 2000 

Georgians and Mark Flannagan (1990) entertained all present 

with anecdotes from the past and a toast to the Freshers of 1990 

and 2000. 

All present enjoyed themselves immensely and we hope they will 

drag some more Georgians along next year! 

A big thank you to the College Offi ce, Catering and Kitchen Staff, 

Lynton Bennett, Steve Lofthouse and the Georgian Committee for 

their invaluable help on the night.

Vale Sam Battle Hammond (1937) 

From beginnings in 

WA tin shack to 

Melbourne University 

EMERITUS Professor Sam Hammond (1937), whose three decades 

as an educator at Melbourne University included tenure as Dean 

of the Faculty of Arts in the mid-1970s, has died of pneumonia 

at Lorne Hospital. He was 91. 

His time at the University, where he began as a lecturer and 

progressed as reader, professor and fi nally dean, was marked 

by his intellectual rigour, creativity, administrative skills and 

diplomacy. 

Hammond, who loved statistics, became President of the 

Australian Psychological Society when it was established as a 

separate entity from the British society. “I like to watch numbers 

dance, literally,” he said. “I like to follow a trail of numbers and 

look at a pattern of things.” 

This led to his ground-breaking research with a longitudinal study 

of males that spurned many studies across a range of disciplines. 

One of fi ve siblings born to Sarah (nee Ashworth) and William 

in Kelmscott, Perth, his mother was from the bush settlement of 

Gingin, while his father was an Englishman who arrived in Australia 

as a stowaway and shipwreck survivor. 

William had been apprenticed to an undertaker but hated the work 

and when a bloated cadaver burst open in front of him, he fl ed 

and secreted himself on a ship. After jumping ship in Australia, he 

eventually became a fettler, married and had children. The family 

lived at Gunyidi, a tin shack settlement on the railway line that 

runs from Perth to Geraldton. 

There was not even a primary school, so the young Hammond 

would run alongside passing trains begging newspapers from 

passengers to further his reading. Later, he was sent to an 

aunt in Armadale, south of Perth, for schooling. There was very 


little money, and when he was aged 13 his father was sent to a 

sanatorium, where he died of tuberculosis a year later. 

His mother scrimped and saved and took in ironing and with 

the help of family and a scholarship, Hammond got an education. 

His sisters did not have the same opportunity. 

In 1936, Hammond began an Arts Degree at The University of 

Western Australia on a Hackett bursary. He lived at St George’s 

College for the 4 years of his degree. An honours student, he found 

academic life easy and was confi dent of obtaining a scholarship 

to Cambridge or Oxford when World War II began. 

He spent the war years in Melbourne and Tasmania as a Captain 

in the Army’s Psychology Corps, and on a weekend stay in Lorne 

he met Marjorie Lochhead, a city girl who loved to dance. 

They were married in 1943. 

In 1946, with the war over, Hammond was asked back to the 

University of Western Australia, but his stay was short-lived. 

He was recruited to the new Psychology Department at Melbourne 

University. 

About that time, he and Marj bought his 14-year-old brother, 

Theo, to live with them and complete his schooling. 

On retirement in 1983, he and Marj engaged Theo, by then 

an architect, to design the house they built in the heathland 

overlooking the sea at Aireys Inlet. 

A year after moving in, it was a smoking ruin, burnt to the 

ground on Ash Wednesday 1983. All their possessions were 

gone. Undaunted, they rebuilt and continued to live there, with 

Hammond continuing to work on his research every morning. 

Hammond's son, Robert, died in 1999, and he is survived by Marj, 

their son Ian, daughter Barbara, and nine grandchildren, and two 

great grandchildren.

Vale Don Aitken (1942) 

“Living at the College 

was a real STROKE OF 

LUCK” said Don Aitken 

(1942) in his memoirs. 

In his Senior Student’s report for the 1944 Dragon, Don observed 

that the College provided more than just a room and meals. He 

referred to the spirit of unity created by College sporting teams, his 

involvement being in rowing, cricket and football. He also referred to 

the role of traditions in the life of the College and residents of the 

College, who were a cross-section of the University, learning to live 

as members of a community instead of as individuals, which was a 

valuable lesson for life. His personal growth during his four years at 

the College had a signifi cant impact on the rest of his life. 

While he was living in the College he completed a Bachelor of 

Engineering degree in Civil Engineering, graduating with Honours. 

His memoirs record that a particular benefi t for him was that Frank 

Gamblen (1940), a senior lecturer in Maths at UWA, was a Senior 

Member of the College and very willing to assist as an expert tutor. 

Following his graduation, Don joined the Main Roads Department 

as an Assistant Engineer. After involvement in materials research 

and construction work, he spent 12 months in the UK gaining 

wider experience. Upon his return he played a major part in 

the installation of the fi rst traffi c lights in Perth and in 1953 

he commenced a demanding period in charge of various 

Departmental regional operations throughout the State. In the 

process he gained a thorough knowledge of the State’s road 

needs and the road construction techniques required to suit 

widely differing geographical conditions. He was appointed Chief 

Engineer in December 1963 and then in April 1965, at the age of 

40, he was appointed Commissioner of Main Roads – the youngest 

ever appointed to that position. Upon his retirement in October 

1987, he had been the longest serving Commissioner, having held 

the position for over 22 years. 

A tribute published by Main Roads states that: “Don oversaw a 

period of unprecedented expansion of the road network across 

Western Australia and had a profound impact on the manner in 

which Main Roads delivered the State’s road programs. This brought 

Main Roads to both national and international prominence, forming 

the basis for the high regard the organisation is held in today”. 

Don Aitken was a visionary leader and a great manager and 

nurturer of people. He always had the big picture in mind and a 

vision of what he wanted to achieve. He then went about taking 

people with him on the journey. 

He advocated strongly for the preservation of signifi cant tracts 

of land for the purpose of future arterial road systems and, 

signifi cantly, as the freeway routes of this system developed there 

was a central corridor reserved for fast transit public transport. 

This reserve provided the opportunity for the highly successful rail 

lines recently created north and south. 

He received a considerable number of awards for his professional 

achievements, including an Imperial Service Order, the Australian 

Road Federation’s John Shaw Award and the Institution of 

Engineers Australia’s Peter Nicol Russell Memorial Award. He was 

WA Citizen of the Year for the Professions in 1982 and he was 

appointed an Offi cer of the Order of Australia (AO) in 1988. 

His community service activities included terms as Chairman 

of the Government House Foundation, as Warden of the State 

War Memorial and as a member of the UWA Senate for 24 

years. During his time on the UWA Senate he was Pro Chancellor 

for seven years and Chancellor for nine years (1981 – 1990). 

As Chancellor he planted a tree outside the College Chapel in 

February 1988, during the visit of the Archbishop of Canterbury. 

At his Memorial Service in Winthrop Hall, the Vice Chancellor of 

The University of Western Australia, Professor Alan Robson said 

“Don Aitken was one of a handful of outstanding individuals 

over the last 100 years who helped to pave the way towards 

our University’s success. Don’s loyalty to his alma mater was 

recognised with an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Engineering 

from this University, and Don’s dedication to his profession and 

his voluntary interests would see him awarded acclaim on both 

State and national levels. Dr Donald Aitken’s intellect and loyalty, 

as a member of the University Senate, then as Pro Chancellor 

and fi nally as Chancellor, set our University fi rmly on its path of 

becoming the internationally recognised institution it now is.” 

Don Aitken was born in Midland on 8 January 1925 and attended 

the local school in Midland and then Guildford Grammar School, 

where he enjoyed great academic and sporting success, before 

moving into St George’s College at the beginning of 1942. 

His connection with St George’s College was further strengthened 

when he married Margaret Wiseman in the College Chapel in 

January 1954. He told his family that the luckiest day of his life 

was when he and Margaret decided to get married. Their marriage 

was only a few days short of 50 years when Margaret passed away 

in January 2004. Together they created a close and loving family 

with sons David, Michael and Nick and daughter Jo Menzies, their 

spouses and their offspring, a total of 14 grandchildren. 

Don developed a sudden age related illness and passed away 

peacefully on 2 September 2010, surrounded by members of 

his family.

Rebecca Ball (1988) has relocated from New Delhi to 

Jakarta. She has been living in India for the past 3 years 

where she was working at the Australian Trade Commission, 

and will take up a similar post in Jakarta. She writes 

that she is sad to leave India but Jakarta will be another 

adventure, and as the role is regional (covering all ASEAN 

markets) she will still travel quite a lot. 


Congratulations to Sarah Freedman (Booth) 1991 who had a son 

Jake Grafton, brother to Max and Jessica. 

Congratulations to Krista McMeeken (2008), a fourth year law 

student at UWA, who was awarded the Law Council of Australia’s 

John Koowarta Reconciliation Law Scholarship in March this year. 

Originally from Esperance, Krista is the full time carer for her 

mother and sole income earner in the family. The scholarship 

allows her the means to purchase text books, a laptop and other 

educational resources to continue her studies, which would have 

otherwise been fi nancially impossible. 

Law Society of Western Australia President Hylton Quail said 

“Krista is an outstanding student and has achieved so much 

already. She is a very deserving recipient of this scholarship 

and a shining example to young people from all walks of life.” 

Krista previously won the Western Australian Outstanding Female 

Aboriginal of the Year Award in 2007 and was also a nominee 

for Western Australian Young Citizen of the Year in 2008. 

The John Koowarta Reconciliation Law Scholarship Trust has 

previously funded 11 scholarships to indigenous students who 

have all since been admitted into the legal profession. 

Alison Wieser, granddaughter of George White, popped in 

to the College to take photos of the Gardener’s Cottage and 

the gardens. George White was the fi rst gardener at the College 

and had the task of planning and planting our beautiful 

gardens. 

He was the College Gardener from 1931 until 1957, apart 

from a period of war service. He lived in the Gardeners Cottage 

with his wife Agnes-May and their four children. Alison is the 

daughter of George and Agnes-May’s daughter Margaret, and 

lives in New South Wales.
