REBECCA BALL (1988) AND HER DAUGHTER BRIDGET IN POKHARA,
NEPAL ON A SHORT BREAK
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.
