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.

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.

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 Georgian | December 2010 15
