REUNION PROGRAMME 2011

This year marks the 90th year of the founding of St Gabriel’s School by the Sisters of the Sacred Advent. This momentous occasion will be marked by a celebration of a “most unusual year in the history of the School”. These were the words of Headmistress Miss Ena Eden as she summed up the evacuation of the school in 1942 as Australia’s north feared invasion during World War 2.

In 2009, a plaque to commemorate the evacuation of All Souls’ School was erected at Fletcher Creek near the site of the “Dalrymple-in-the-Bush” school campus of 1942. We will remember the girls’ great move of the same year by erecting a plaque at Richmond in western Queensland, the site of St Gabriel’s relocation for two and a half years.

As the Battle of the Coral Sea raged and the girls watched damaged bombers return from missions, the whole school was bundled onto trucks and a train for the journey to Richmond and their new location – the Royal Hotel.

All Souls’ boasts that it had two pub buildings brought onto campus in its foundation years, but St Gabriel’s went one better and turned a pub into a school. Girls lived in the upstairs rooms and lessons were held in the bar. Travelling US soldiers entering the hotel expecting a beer, were surprised to fi nd schoolgirls with typewriters on the bar and library books where bottles of spirits once stood.

1942 saw a fully functioning school in a pub, educating 53 boarders and 7 day girls. There were also 8 local boys who joined the girls for classes.

Two pianos survived the move along with birds in a cage and the gardener. There were great diffi culties in provisioning fresh food, but there were some compensations. Generous locals donated fresh food and two cows provided milk. The girls had outings to watch shearing at “Silver Hills” and picnics by the dry Flinders River. When the only netball bladder burst, energies were channelled into tennis and physical culture.

But it was not all “beer and games”. Sadly, Miss Eden died before school resumed in 1944. By then, staff and student numbers had fallen drastically and the school was only saved by the move back to Charters Towers in June 1944.

They were extraordinary times which demanded much from all involved. It is worth noting that both heads of St Gabe’s and Souls’ did not live long enough to see retirement. Thankfully, many of the students of the era will be at ASSG in October to add their memories to the events and give thanks for their education in those turbulent years.

Walls of FameFrom the President...Last year we celebrated the 90th birthday of All Souls with a great weekend in June and the party continues at this year’s reunion with the 90th anniversary of St. Gabriel’s to be celebrated from October 21 - 23. To mark the occasion, a group of old girls who were at the School during the Second World War will make a nostalgic journey to the School’s wartime home, Richmond, to unveil a memorial. They will return to Charters Towers later in the week and continue to celebrate at our reunion weekend. So the focus this reunion will be on celebrating the foundation of St. Gabriel’s in 1921.

Other news in this issue concerns the Past Students’ Museum Project and the progress of the Appeal, which now stands at $128,000 with a target of $400,000. We hope to construct the building next year. As President of your association I am disappointed at the response to this appeal. I well realise that we have recently come through some diffi cult fi nan-cial times but my disappointment centres not around our progress, which is certainly encouraging, but more around the fi gures that show only 7% of the more than 2,500 members who continue to receive this newsletter have supported this Project. As an organisation that prides itself in helping our old School we can do better. The size of your donation is not important. It is your participation in this worthy project, even in some small way, that is paramount. Please get on board and help us gift this museum to the School and save our history for all to enjoy.

This year’s Burry Weekend in January was one of the more successful in recent years and a report is in this issue also. Next year the Burry Weekend falls on 13 – 15 January 2012.

I would like to recognise the efforts of Hilary Grant and Laurelle Thomson both of whom last year left the School. Their work in assisting the Past Students Association was invaluable. Nothing was too much trouble to them and they will be missed. In their place is the new Enrolment Offi cer Jon Teichmann. Likewise he is proving most helpful to our organisation. Our volunteer Association needs this support.

Thanks to all who support our Past Students Association: those who have given to the Museum Project, those who work at Burry Weekends, those who take time out to attend Annual Reunions, those who have sent in memorabilia to be held for our Archives and Museum, the Association’s Management Committee who works hard to keep it functioning, our Brisbane branch of old girls led by Jacki Clayton and especially those who work so hard to get their old classmates back to the School for reunions. I hope many of you can join us in October to celebrate St. Gabriel’s 90th anniversary.

Servire Regnare Howard Lowe

At the reunion dinner this October we induct the late Shirley Butcher (nee Wilson) into the Past Students Walls of Fame. Shirley helped pioneer the fi eld of forensic science in the 50’s and 60’s. After attending St. Gabriel’s from the North Queens-land town of Ayr, she completed a Science Degree in 1947 and subsequently an Honours degree in Organic Chemistry. From early experience with the CSIRO in Melbourne and the SRI in Mackay she landed work in what was then the Federation of Malaya and soon entered the fl edgling world of the Forensic Chemist. From here she travelled to London to work. Though thwarted by the Director of Scotland Yard, Shirley fi nally joined the Metropolitan Police Forensic Science Laboratory, com-monly referred to as the Scotland Yard Lab and oversaw a staff that grew from 6 to 53 with a drastically growing case load. Frustrated with her lack of involvement in the fi eld, she set up a dedicated Fire Investigation Unit beginning the fi rst such unit in the U.K. and possibly the world. It was in this area that Shirley gained a worldwide reputation which resulted in her being seconded to investigate and solve a big hotel fi re in Bermuda. Taking early retirement in 1978 she returned to the farm in Ayr with her husband Herbert Butcher and later relocated to Port Lincoln in South Australia, passing away in 2008.

It is fi tting that in the 90th year of St. Gabriel’s that we recognise an old girl of the School who broke into the male domi-nated area of forensic science and went to the top of her fi eld. She joins a growing number of servers and achievers on our Walls of Fame.

2011 BURRY WEEKENDThis was one of our more successful weekends in recent times. More then 60 willing workers turned up for this traditional occasion, now 35 years old. Driving the projects was Management Committee member, Robbie Peace and we are so grateful for the many hours of preparation he freely gave. Ever ready “chippie” Peter Lewty, who each year travels up from the Burdekin, is always prepared to lend his skills. A number of others supplied machinery and equipment that enabled us to carry out many tasks.

Concreting under the O’Keeffe Oval fence has begun – a project we hope to fi nish in the next year or two. Other concrete pathways were completed at the Junior School and many other tasks were accomplished. It is so good to see not just past students attending, but all members of the wider School community – parents, staff, students and friends. Held just before School starts each year it not only provides an opportunity to carry out specifi c projects but also assists the ground staff in preparing the grounds for the start of another year.

The 2011 ReunionWe are looking forward to another good reunion celebrating St Gabriel’s 90th year. The date to place aside is October 21 – 23. The full programme can be found in this issue. The number of Past Students who turn up depends so much on a “Class Organiser”.

There are celebrations for the following classes:CLASS OF 1961:

Organiser - Bill Grant: [email protected] OF 1971:

Organiser - Kevin Mann: [email protected] OF 2006:

Organiser - Samantha Cowan: [email protected] Left to Right – Alan Scott, Ron Scholes, Keith Scholes,

Colin McDowall, Harold McMillan, Tony Murphy, Eric Anderson, Ted Plumb and Jon Hay

Last year, besides the large group from 1980, there was also a signifi cant group from 1960 celebrating their 50th year since leaving the School. School Captain of that year, Colin McDowall was tireless in his efforts to get his old classmates back and the statistics he provided were interesting. Of the 29 students in the 1960 Senior Class, 21 past students were contacted (1 declined to be involved), 4 had died and 4 could not be contacted. 20 provided written resumes and 19 provided a recent photo (and the 19 all looked pretty good considering the years). Members were located in England, Netherlands, WA, NSW and all over Queensland. 8 past students attended the reunion, plus one from the 1958 Junior Class and the wife of one of the deceased students.

Clive Grant from the Class of 1963 has already begun to organise his classmates for 2013. His email address is [email protected] . Bill Hely of that class has also set up a web site for them http://classof63.info/blog/ .

Those who take the time out of their busy lives to attend reunions are never disappointed.

JOTTINGS OF INTEREST - AWARDSJim Rebgetz – OAM for services to the community, particularly through All Souls St Gabriels School

Professor Peter Coaldrake (Member of our Walls of Fame – recipient of the Offi cer (AO) in the General Division “for distinguished service to higher education, particularly in Queensland, through a range of academic and executive roles, as an advocate for professional standards, to public sector policy management and reform, and to Australia – America relations.”

Anthony Klan – the Sir Keith Murdoch Award for Excellence in Journalism – for his relentless pursuit of the waste and mismanagement in the $16.2 billion schools stimulus package reported in The Australian.

Dear Past Students, I thought fi ve years ago that I had written my last ever contribution for Servire Regnare. But I was wrong. All Souls St Gabriels School is the sort of place that grabs hold of you and becomes part of you. And so I have returned for another term as Headmaster of our wonderful school.

It is great to be back among friends and to see the very evident progress that was made during Mr Tucker’s tenure as Head. We are currently around 350 students strong, with growth expected in 2012. This year has been a very busy one with much progress to report.

On the building front I am currently waiting for work to start on the refurbishment of Feetham House. When we started the dormitory refurbishments in around 2002 Feetham was our best dormitory, so it went to the end of the queue. However, its time has now arrived and the boys are looking forward to their “new” surrounds later this year.

Earlier in the year we moved into our new Learning Support Centre near the Junior School. This is proving to be a real boon as we provide support to our students who need a bit of extra help. At the beginning of the year we also moved into two new Junior School classrooms.

As you can see the school continues to progress and all of these achievements are a great credit to those who planned them and supervised their construction, particularly Jim Rebgetz and Ross Leake, our two men on the ground, so to speak.

We are now currently considering modifying a classroom so that we can offer an approved Pre-Prep programme in 2012.

On the sporting front we have enjoyed two important successes this year. Our Secondary Cross Country team won the Inter School competition for the 6th year in succession. This was a mighty effort as the team won not only by the proverbial “country mile”, but with six wins it means that none of this year’s winning team were in that fi rst success in 2006. So we have had a generational change and yet our success continues. The current Year 11 cohort is planning to lead a “Magnifi cent 7” in 2012.

Once again we sent teams to the annual Confraternity Rugby League and Netball competitions. The boys went to Yeppoon, and the girls the slightly more glamorous Gold Coast. Both teams performed well, but the boys came back as Confraternity Plate (B Div) Champions. This is our fi rst success in 25 years of attendance at the carnival.

The success was all the more enjoyable when you realise that:• We are one of the smallest schools in the competition• There were more than 25 schools in our division• We defeated the top ranked team in the fi rst playoff round• We defeated Columba in the next playoff round after being defeated by them twice during our normal season• The school we defeated in the fi nal has a school population of over a 1,000 students.

And in a lovely fi nal touch, I can report that the team was coached by an Old Boy, Adrian Guldbransen (Ramsay, 1988) He was a very proud coach.

Sporting success is just sporting success, but such achievements do so much to improve the confi dence of our students. They start to believe that they can do well and achieve their goals. We all know that success breeds success.

I look forward to meeting many of you at the Reunion. This year we are unveiling a memorial in Richmond to the girls who were sent to Richmond during World War II. I met some of the ladies at lunch in Brisbane earlier this year and they are looking forward to getting back to the bush. I did have to remind them, however, that they would no longer have the pleasure of the company of the US servicemen who were stationed there during the war.

A rumour has it that Samantha Cowan (2006 School Captain) is organising a reunion of the 2006 class. Now, a class reunion is nothing unusual, but for the fi rst time it will be for a year level when I was Headmaster of the school. I am delighted that she is doing that, but it also makes me start to feel old.

Regardless of whether you are a sprightly 2006 Senior, or whether your years here are now shrouded in the mists of time, I look forward to greeting you all in October.

St Gabriels Old Girls Brisbane From the Headmaster

St. Gabriels Old Girls in Brisbane was formed 50 years ago by Phyl Saunders. Over the ensuing years Betty Zillman and Myra Allison took up the baton and our group has been going strong ever since.

Although known as St. Gabriels Old Girls Brisbane we en-thusiastically embrace the banner of All Souls St. Gabriels School. We are a group of Old Girls who meet for lunch 4 times a year to keep the wonderful friendships which start-ed at boarding school alive and well. We not only support the school fi nancially as much as we can but also by way of attendance at the Burry Weekend. Our fi nances are raised with raffl es, donations, and at our Christmas luncheon in-stead of exchanging gifts; we each give a donation which is sent to the school. Last year our Christmas contribution was used to refurbish/replace the Girls Athletics Trophies which are on display in Halse Hall. The music department was the recipient the previous year. Our only request is that the money be put towards something specifi c each year and not go into the “Honey Pot”. Donations are also sent to the Library to purchase books in the memory of old girls who have passed on. The books are chosen by the Librarian to suit the School needs. In recent years our donations to the School, The Sisters of the SSA and the Museum have to-

If you think you would not know anyone, believe me, by the end of lunch you will know everyone. The love of our School, the lifelong friendships made, and our involvement with our School are the most important things that bind us together. Boarding school kids are a special lot!!We would love dearly the “younger” old girls to be part of our group .What a great mix it would be, and most impor-tantly keep the ASSG Old Girls going. I believe outside Charters Towers, we are the only past students group in ex-istence.

Our lunches are held at: Court Terrace Restaurant, Law Courts - George Street, Brisbane from 11.30am for 12 noon.

Dates for 2011 are as follows: Thursday 17th March, Thursday 16th June, Thursday 15th September, Thursday 17th November. The lunch dates are always the same - 3rd Thursday of the above months.

Museum Appeal

All Souls St Gabriels School is celebrating the awarding of an OAM to one of the school’s great old boys and benefactors.

The Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) has been awarded to Jim (James Godfrey) Rebgetz in the 2011 Awards List for Services to the Community, particularly through All Souls St Gabriels School.

Until recently, Jim Rebgetz was Chairman of ASSG Ltd, and was a driving force behind all of the building work completed on the campus over the past 11 years. His foresight and dedication has enabled ASSG to continue to offer outstanding facilities to a wide range of families looking to educate their children in a safe rural environment.

“Only last week Jim was in checking that the new concrete pads on the road to the boys dorm were being done properly. Jim is a retired grazier and old boy of the school, and one of nature’s gentlemen. I could not count the number of voluntary hours he has quietly and unassumingly given to this school. Jim is a man of vision, but he backs that up with great practically and hard work. We are so pleased for Jim and his wife, Lorna, that he has received this honour” Headmaster, Gordon Royall said.

MUSEUM APPEAL PROGRESS REPORT

ICONIC PHOTOSThe Past Students Association has started to produce some Iconic Photos of the School as collector’s items. The fi rst of these is titled “SOULS, SOULS BLACK WHITE BLACK” to commemorate the 90th anniversary of All Souls is a beautifully presented framed panoramic photo of one of the many epic Rugby League battles against Co-lumba Catholic College (previously Mt. Carmel) on the O’Keeffe Oval. It not only depicts the O’Keeffe Oval, players and the goalposts that originally belonged to the N.Q. Cowboys but also includes in the background buildings old and new: The Joe Croft Pavilion built dur-ing the Second World War in the time of Headmaster Pat O’Keeffe, the Chapel opened in 1958 built in the time of “Pappy” Hurt, the oldest building in the School, originally the Old Dalrymple Pub in the time of Archbishop Halse and the newest addition the Multipurpose Centre built in the time of Headmaster Mike Tucker. Each photo is num-bered and signed with historical information on the back and the number produced may be limited in availability. Orders can be arranged through the School offi ce. One of these will be raffl ed at our reunion with tickets $5 each. The size of the framed photo is 105cm x 57cm, and the cost is $450. Our second iconic photo is titled “YE OLD ST. GABRIEL’S – ADVENT HOUSE”.

The All Souls St Gabriels School Rugby League team have returned home victorious as the 2011 Confraternity Neil Bloxsidge Memorial Plate Winners.

After 25 years of attendance at Confraternity we have our fi rst piece of silverware!! And an important piece of silver-ware it is. Whilst we no longer complete in the A Division which includes some of Queensland’s largest and Rugby League dedicated schools, the B Division is a tough group. The B Division includes the remaining 28 – 30 schools, some of which have school populations of over 1500. To be Champion school of such a group is no mean feat.

The team, as a whole, did themselves, their parents and the School proud. They were constantly commended on their appearance, their manners and overall behaviour from the Opening Ceremony to the last day. An example of this was the staff from Emu Beach Resort (where the team stayed) took time out of their busy schedules to come and watch the last few games and support the boys. The team in return pre-sented them with a signed ASSG confro shirt which they as-sured us would be framed and displayed in the Resort Bar!

ASSG coach, Adrian Guldbransen (Past Student 1985/88), said that there wasn’t a bad player in the team for the whole

2011 CONFRATERNITY RUGBY LEAGUE

week, and that the boys should be extremely proud of what they had achieved. “Our defence was outstanding” Guld-bransen said. “Our general teamwork was great and the boys were very happy. It was a win three years in the making”.

To get into the fi nal, the ASSG boys had to beat local ri-vals Columba Catholic College (CCC) who had beaten them in their previous two inter school meetings this year. In a physical game, ASSG defeated CCC 16-4.

In the fi nal, ASSG defeated Marymount College from the Gold Coast 28-12, which was a great result as Marymount College is a school of over 1,000 students.

RESULTS:Aquinas College Gold Coast LOST 8 – 6St Francis College Brisbane WON 22 – 16Xavier College Harvey Bay WON 16 – 0Sienna College Sunshine Coast WON 36 – 4Columba Catholic College Charters Towers WON 16 – 4Marymount College Gold Coast WON 28 – 12

We also offer a special thanks to the parents and friends who travelled to Yeppoon to support the team.

The good news is that we have cracked the $100,000 mark in June this year. In fact at this stage of writing we have amassed almost $128,000. The appeal is now eighteen months old, and whilst our target is $400,000, we are edging ever so closely to the start of construction. Our plan is to build next year. If the project can be underwritten we are aiming to see “bricks & mortar” appear on the sacred site, which is still yet to be revealed to us. Some have remarked to the association that it is likely that many more past students will commit themselves to the appeal once they see the Museum under construction. This is the risk we would take if construction were to begin before we reach our target of $400,000. We would dearly like to have some more donations in before we take that risk.

Recently we received in the one mailing two donations. One was from the “gracious lady” reported to you in our last “Ser-vire Regnare”. This was her second donation! When she gave her fi rst donation last year she apologised that the amount could not be more. Her husband, an old boy of the School, is on the list of “ASSG Spartans”. The other donation was amaz-ingly generous from someone who has always supported the School and a regular worker at Burry Weekends. Our donor list now totals 173. From a database of 2500, that leaves many who can yet respond. Please get involved and support this project.

We have been touched by the generosity of those who have already given to the appeal. As expected, many donors are eld-erly who forego other pleasures their donation would have given them so that they can make a difference to their old School. In the latter stages of their lives they tend to more value the treasures of the past and the need to preserve them. Some of these “oldies” tell us (for obvious reasons) they would like to see the museum built sooner, rather than later. But amongst the 173 donors there are also 43 young year 12 students from 2009-10 who likewise believe in the value of the project.

The Class of 1960 under the leadership of Colin McDowall has continued an initiative started by the Class of 1969 and 1979. He has asked all he has been able to contact to take part in the appeal and that his class be placed on the list of “ASSG Spartans”. If you get involved your name and your chosen Spartan (someone or some group you want to be recognised) will be added to those lists. We urge all those who can contribute to get behind this worthy project. Use the form in this issue to make your donation.

2011 HORSE OF THE NORTH CHALLENGE THE ASSG CONNECTION

The results of the MAGS Droughtmaster Horse of the North Challenge, including the Allan Glenwright Perpetual Trophy have had a strong ASSG connection.

Allan Glenwright, grandfather of past students Jess and Lyle Glenwright of Laroona, is widely acknowledged as a legendary judge of cattle and horses. Mr G was a great supporter of the education of young horses and was only too willing to offer assistance to anyone who showed an interest in learning.

Robert Durkin, father of Lachlan (Yr 8) and past students Rachael and William, riding Durkin’s Pearl scored an impressive win in the fi nal, taking home the Allan Glenwright Perpetual Trophy, along with other generous prizes.

To add to the ASSG connection, Robert’s homebred mare Durkin’s Pearl, is by Ernest Bassingthwaighte’s Black Breeze. Ernest is a long time stalwart of ASSG. Also featuring prominently in the fi nal were horses bred by the Ievers family’s Marathon Stud at Hughenden – Marathon Star Reno and Marathon Yugil Rob Roy. Madison Ievers (Yr 12) and Taylor Ievers (Yr 8) are current students.

Congratulations to all families.

For the 6th consecutive year, All Souls St Gabriels School has triumphed in the 2011 Inter School Cross Country Championship, taking out the big three – Boy’s Championship, Girl’s Championship and the Overall Championship.

Head Of Health and Physical Education, Mrs Karen Storey, paid tribute to the dedication of the students who had worked hard to ensure that the School was not only represented by Age Group Champions in the 13 Years Boys (Mitchell Drenan), 15 Years Girls (Kristal Dau), 16 Years Boys (Nathan Fittock), Open Girls (Sally Lyon) and Runner’s Up in the 13 Years Girls (Kate Blannerhassett), 13 Years Boys (Jack Flitchett) and 14 Years Girls (Bree Aggiss); but also all the other

team members who worked so hard to ensure that there were suffi cient numbers of students fi nishing in the top 10 to ensure the overall Championship Trophy. “For a smaller school, this really is an outstanding performance” Mrs Story said.

Mrs Storey also paid tribute to Mr Darryl Fry for the time and effort to ensure that the team members were at their peak of performance.

HORSE AND CATTLE CLUBIn late May, our new Rural Activities Co-ordinator, Darryl Lyon, took up his duties in the School. Darryl comes to us with a wide range of experience, having worked on a number of cattle properties, as well as being the Commercial Cattle Manager for the Australian Agricultural College at their Burdekin Campus.

There is much to be done in re-establishing our Cattle Club, but we are confi dent that with Darryl’s skills and organisation, and the enthusiasm of students and parents, the re-birth of our Rural Activities program will be hugely successful. We continue to develop curriculum to benefi t this facet of education.

It is our aim to have our Cattle Club fully functional in 2012, and we will be looking to source cattle suitable for our Show Team. Please contact Darryl if you can assist with a donation of suitable stock.

The ASSH Horse Club continues to go from strength to strength and is always very well represented at the many Pony Club and Inter School Dressage and Show Jumping competitions held throughout the surrounding area. It is a great activity for our students. Recently, our Horse Club provided a strong representation at the Charters Towers Show, with a large group of tired but happy students returning to the School with many ribbons of every colour, many of which now adorn the walls of dormitories.

2011 SCHOOL CAPTAIN’S INDUCTIONThe All Souls St Gabriels School community gathered on Tuesday 01 February 2011 to welcome all students to the new school year and for the Induction of the 2011 School Captains – Hayden Hall and Heidi Hatch.

Heidi, a keen sportswoman, hails from Clare and joined ASSG in 2007 as a Year 8 boarder. “At the beginning

of each year I sat in the Chapel at the Prefect’s Induction and

watched and admired. I always hoped, but never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would become one of them. It is such an honour to have a role in which I can repre-sent the School after all it has done for me. I look forward to working with the other captains, prefects and seniors, as well as Mr Royall and other staff members, in overcoming obstacles to make this year even better than previous ones” Heidi said.

Hayden, an all-round student who loves his school and sports

passionately, hails from Richmond and joined ASSG in 2008 as a Year 9 day student. “It is such an unbelievable honour to serve my peers and my school alongside Heidi and the other prefects. The feeling of being able to serve my school, which I love so much, is amazing. I’ve always dreamed about being School Captain so that I can give something back to the school that has given me so many good times and memories” Hayden said.

Both Heidi and Hayden are worthy leaders of the School, and have the well earned respect and support of their fel-low students, teachers and staff. Each, in their own unique way, will help, support and nurture their fellow students to ensure that every single student of the school is given every opportunity to shine.

The role of School Captain can be an arduous one, with many responsibilities added to an already imposing work-load as a Year 12 student. In 2011, Heidi and Hayden will be ably supported by Kirsten Von Wald and Darion Kurjan, along with Chapel Prefect Fiona Alford.

Also joining in the celebrations were House Leaders Sally Lyon, Clodagh O’Reagain, Zoe-Mae Schafer, Andrew Car-cary and Mitchel Basket.

The group also saw the affection that the French who live in the Somme region have for the Aussies who fought at Pozieires, Le Hamel Moquet Farm and Bullecourt, to name but a few.

It was a tour of contrasts, to be learning about the exploits of our young soldiers and the privations and hardships and sheer terror of the experience, whilst travelling the beautiful countryside.

To actually be in Gallipoli for the Anzac Day Dawn Serv-ice and to make a climb up the track to Lone Pine, The Nek, Chunuk Bair and the terrain over which the fi rst Anzacs fought, will stay with the group forever.

GALLIPOLI

On Tuesday 09 August a very special ceremony was held to offi cially open the new campus buildings at ASSG. These are primarily the Multi-Purpose Sports Centre, Learning Resource Centre, Science laboratories and the classroom upgrades.

The money contributed by the Federal Government is not insignifi cant and comes to more than $3,000,000 which, when added to the School’s contribution, has allowed us to add these vital buildings to our school. These developments enable the School to continually upgrade the facilities available to students to ensure a positive and vibrant learning environment.

Further building works are also underway, including the refurbishment of the Administration Centre and Feetham dormitory. One wing of Page dormitory has also been refurbished to accommodate the overfl ow Feetham boys.

Another highlight of the tour was the research that the Feetham boys did in tracking down the grave of Major General Edward Feetham, after whom their House is named. House Captain, Andrew Carcary read details of Major General Feetham and the group left a Feetham badge on top of the gravestone which features the Feetham motto – Tanax Proposti – Equal to the task. And they were. The boys also managed a phone call home from the gravesite to Brother Robin!

It is hoped that the Gallipoli trip can become a regular fi xture on the School calendar – perhaps every two years so that all Year 11 and 12 students have the opportunity to make the pilgrimage.

Following on from the Gallipoli trip, a small grove of pine trees have been planted behind the Chapel. These are no ordinary pine trees – they have been grown from cuttings taken from the original Lone Pine that stands at Gallipoli above Anzac Cove. They will serve as another visible re-minder of the reason for the establishment of our School.

CROSS COUNTRY

2011 HORSE OF THE NORTH CHALLENGE THE ASSG CONNECTION

The results of the MAGS Droughtmaster Horse of the North Challenge, including the Allan Glenwright Perpetual Trophy have had a strong ASSG connection.

Allan Glenwright, grandfather of past students Jess and Lyle Glenwright of Laroona, is widely acknowledged as a legendary judge of cattle and horses. Mr G was a great supporter of the education of young horses and was only too willing to offer assistance to anyone who showed an interest in learning.

Robert Durkin, father of Lachlan (Yr 8) and past students Rachael and William, riding Durkin’s Pearl scored an impressive win in the fi nal, taking home the Allan Glenwright Perpetual Trophy, along with other generous prizes.

To add to the ASSG connection, Robert’s homebred mare Durkin’s Pearl, is by Ernest Bassingthwaighte’s Black Breeze. Ernest is a long time stalwart of ASSG. Also featuring prominently in the fi nal were horses bred by the Ievers family’s Marathon Stud at Hughenden – Marathon Star Reno and Marathon Yugil Rob Roy. Madison Ievers (Yr 12) and Taylor Ievers (Yr 8) are current students.

Congratulations to all families.

Museum Appeal

All Souls St Gabriels School is celebrating the awarding of an OAM to one of the school’s great old boys and benefactors.

The Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) has been awarded to Jim (James Godfrey) Rebgetz in the 2011 Awards List for Services to the Community, particularly through All Souls St Gabriels School.

Until recently, Jim Rebgetz was Chairman of ASSG Ltd, and was a driving force behind all of the building work completed on the campus over the past 11 years. His foresight and dedication has enabled ASSG to continue to offer outstanding facilities to a wide range of families looking to educate their children in a safe rural environment.

“Only last week Jim was in checking that the new concrete pads on the road to the boys dorm were being done properly. Jim is a retired grazier and old boy of the school, and one of nature’s gentlemen. I could not count the number of voluntary hours he has quietly and unassumingly given to this school. Jim is a man of vision, but he backs that up with great practically and hard work. We are so pleased for Jim and his wife, Lorna, that he has received this honour” Headmaster, Gordon Royall said.

MUSEUM APPEAL PROGRESS REPORT

ICONIC PHOTOSThe Past Students Association has started to produce some Iconic Photos of the School as collector’s items. The fi rst of these is titled “SOULS, SOULS BLACK WHITE BLACK” to commemorate the 90th anniversary of All Souls is a beautifully presented framed panoramic photo of one of the many epic Rugby League battles against Co-lumba Catholic College (previously Mt. Carmel) on the O’Keeffe Oval. It not only depicts the O’Keeffe Oval, players and the goalposts that originally belonged to the N.Q. Cowboys but also includes in the background buildings old and new: The Joe Croft Pavilion built dur-ing the Second World War in the time of Headmaster Pat O’Keeffe, the Chapel opened in 1958 built in the time of “Pappy” Hurt, the oldest building in the School, originally the Old Dalrymple Pub in the time of Archbishop Halse and the newest addition the Multipurpose Centre built in the time of Headmaster Mike Tucker. Each photo is num-bered and signed with historical information on the back and the number produced may be limited in availability. Orders can be arranged through the School offi ce. One of these will be raffl ed at our reunion with tickets $5 each. The size of the framed photo is 105cm x 57cm, and the cost is $450. Our second iconic photo is titled “YE OLD ST. GABRIEL’S – ADVENT HOUSE”.

The All Souls St Gabriels School Rugby League team have returned home victorious as the 2011 Confraternity Neil Bloxsidge Memorial Plate Winners.

After 25 years of attendance at Confraternity we have our fi rst piece of silverware!! And an important piece of silver-ware it is. Whilst we no longer complete in the A Division which includes some of Queensland’s largest and Rugby League dedicated schools, the B Division is a tough group. The B Division includes the remaining 28 – 30 schools, some of which have school populations of over 1500. To be Champion school of such a group is no mean feat.

The team, as a whole, did themselves, their parents and the School proud. They were constantly commended on their appearance, their manners and overall behaviour from the Opening Ceremony to the last day. An example of this was the staff from Emu Beach Resort (where the team stayed) took time out of their busy schedules to come and watch the last few games and support the boys. The team in return pre-sented them with a signed ASSG confro shirt which they as-sured us would be framed and displayed in the Resort Bar!

ASSG coach, Adrian Guldbransen (Past Student 1985/88), said that there wasn’t a bad player in the team for the whole

2011 CONFRATERNITY RUGBY LEAGUE

week, and that the boys should be extremely proud of what they had achieved. “Our defence was outstanding” Guld-bransen said. “Our general teamwork was great and the boys were very happy. It was a win three years in the making”.

To get into the fi nal, the ASSG boys had to beat local ri-vals Columba Catholic College (CCC) who had beaten them in their previous two inter school meetings this year. In a physical game, ASSG defeated CCC 16-4.

In the fi nal, ASSG defeated Marymount College from the Gold Coast 28-12, which was a great result as Marymount College is a school of over 1,000 students.

RESULTS:Aquinas College Gold Coast LOST 8 – 6St Francis College Brisbane WON 22 – 16Xavier College Harvey Bay WON 16 – 0Sienna College Sunshine Coast WON 36 – 4Columba Catholic College Charters Towers WON 16 – 4Marymount College Gold Coast WON 28 – 12

We also offer a special thanks to the parents and friends who travelled to Yeppoon to support the team.

The good news is that we have cracked the $100,000 mark in June this year. In fact at this stage of writing we have amassed almost $128,000. The appeal is now eighteen months old, and whilst our target is $400,000, we are edging ever so closely to the start of construction. Our plan is to build next year. If the project can be underwritten we are aiming to see “bricks & mortar” appear on the sacred site, which is still yet to be revealed to us. Some have remarked to the association that it is likely that many more past students will commit themselves to the appeal once they see the Museum under construction. This is the risk we would take if construction were to begin before we reach our target of $400,000. We would dearly like to have some more donations in before we take that risk.

Recently we received in the one mailing two donations. One was from the “gracious lady” reported to you in our last “Ser-vire Regnare”. This was her second donation! When she gave her fi rst donation last year she apologised that the amount could not be more. Her husband, an old boy of the School, is on the list of “ASSG Spartans”. The other donation was amaz-ingly generous from someone who has always supported the School and a regular worker at Burry Weekends. Our donor list now totals 173. From a database of 2500, that leaves many who can yet respond. Please get involved and support this project.

We have been touched by the generosity of those who have already given to the appeal. As expected, many donors are eld-erly who forego other pleasures their donation would have given them so that they can make a difference to their old School. In the latter stages of their lives they tend to more value the treasures of the past and the need to preserve them. Some of these “oldies” tell us (for obvious reasons) they would like to see the museum built sooner, rather than later. But amongst the 173 donors there are also 43 young year 12 students from 2009-10 who likewise believe in the value of the project.

The Class of 1960 under the leadership of Colin McDowall has continued an initiative started by the Class of 1969 and 1979. He has asked all he has been able to contact to take part in the appeal and that his class be placed on the list of “ASSG Spartans”. If you get involved your name and your chosen Spartan (someone or some group you want to be recognised) will be added to those lists. We urge all those who can contribute to get behind this worthy project. Use the form in this issue to make your donation.

FINELY TUNED ATHLETES

All Souls St Gabriels School prides itself not only on our academic excellence, but on the achievements of our sports men and women. So far this year, our students have excelled on the sporting fi eld and have received representative honours in North Queensland teams:

George Major – Open TouchSarah-Jane Stephens – 15 VolleyballDaniel Thorne – Open SwimmingEmily Cooke – 14 SwimmingGeorgie Clark – Junior Netball

School captain, Heidi Hatch is achieving at a State level in softball and athletics, and attaining at a national level is Bree-Anna Schneider (Yr 11),

Dear Past Students, I thought fi ve years ago that I had written my last ever contribution for Servire Regnare. But I was wrong. All Souls St Gabriels School is the sort of place that grabs hold of you and becomes part of you. And so I have returned for another term as Headmaster of our wonderful school.

It is great to be back among friends and to see the very evident progress that was made during Mr Tucker’s tenure as Head. We are currently around 350 students strong, with growth expected in 2012. This year has been a very busy one with much progress to report.

On the building front I am currently waiting for work to start on the refurbishment of Feetham House. When we started the dormitory refurbishments in around 2002 Feetham was our best dormitory, so it went to the end of the queue. However, its time has now arrived and the boys are looking forward to their “new” surrounds later this year.

Earlier in the year we moved into our new Learning Support Centre near the Junior School. This is proving to be a real boon as we provide support to our students who need a bit of extra help. At the beginning of the year we also moved into two new Junior School classrooms.

As you can see the school continues to progress and all of these achievements are a great credit to those who planned them and supervised their construction, particularly Jim Rebgetz and Ross Leake, our two men on the ground, so to speak.

We are now currently considering modifying a classroom so that we can offer an approved Pre-Prep programme in 2012.

On the sporting front we have enjoyed two important successes this year. Our Secondary Cross Country team won the Inter School competition for the 6th year in succession. This was a mighty effort as the team won not only by the proverbial “country mile”, but with six wins it means that none of this year’s winning team were in that fi rst success in 2006. So we have had a generational change and yet our success continues. The current Year 11 cohort is planning to lead a “Magnifi cent 7” in 2012.

Once again we sent teams to the annual Confraternity Rugby League and Netball competitions. The boys went to Yeppoon, and the girls the slightly more glamorous Gold Coast. Both teams performed well, but the boys came back as Confraternity Plate (B Div) Champions. This is our fi rst success in 25 years of attendance at the carnival.

The success was all the more enjoyable when you realise that:• We are one of the smallest schools in the competition• There were more than 25 schools in our division• We defeated the top ranked team in the fi rst playoff round• We defeated Columba in the next playoff round after being defeated by them twice during our normal season• The school we defeated in the fi nal has a school population of over a 1,000 students.

And in a lovely fi nal touch, I can report that the team was coached by an Old Boy, Adrian Guldbransen (Ramsay, 1988) He was a very proud coach.

Sporting success is just sporting success, but such achievements do so much to improve the confi dence of our students. They start to believe that they can do well and achieve their goals. We all know that success breeds success.

I look forward to meeting many of you at the Reunion. This year we are unveiling a memorial in Richmond to the girls who were sent to Richmond during World War II. I met some of the ladies at lunch in Brisbane earlier this year and they are looking forward to getting back to the bush. I did have to remind them, however, that they would no longer have the pleasure of the company of the US servicemen who were stationed there during the war.

A rumour has it that Samantha Cowan (2006 School Captain) is organising a reunion of the 2006 class. Now, a class reunion is nothing unusual, but for the fi rst time it will be for a year level when I was Headmaster of the school. I am delighted that she is doing that, but it also makes me start to feel old.

Regardless of whether you are a sprightly 2006 Senior, or whether your years here are now shrouded in the mists of time, I look forward to greeting you all in October.

St Gabriels Old Girls Brisbane From the Headmaster

St. Gabriels Old Girls in Brisbane was formed 50 years ago by Phyl Saunders. Over the ensuing years Betty Zillman and Myra Allison took up the baton and our group has been going strong ever since.

Although known as St. Gabriels Old Girls Brisbane we en-thusiastically embrace the banner of All Souls St. Gabriels School. We are a group of Old Girls who meet for lunch 4 times a year to keep the wonderful friendships which start-ed at boarding school alive and well. We not only support the school fi nancially as much as we can but also by way of attendance at the Burry Weekend. Our fi nances are raised with raffl es, donations, and at our Christmas luncheon in-stead of exchanging gifts; we each give a donation which is sent to the school. Last year our Christmas contribution was used to refurbish/replace the Girls Athletics Trophies which are on display in Halse Hall. The music department was the recipient the previous year. Our only request is that the money be put towards something specifi c each year and not go into the “Honey Pot”. Donations are also sent to the Library to purchase books in the memory of old girls who have passed on. The books are chosen by the Librarian to suit the School needs. In recent years our donations to the School, The Sisters of the SSA and the Museum have to-

taled approximately $4,887.00We have a continuing connection with the Sisters of the Society of the Sacred Advent who were the founders of St. Gabriel’s, and I might add that Sister Alice was the driving force behind the establishment of All Souls.We understand that Past Old Girls may not have time to join us until they retire from the work force, but are most welcome to join us at anytime. If you think you would not know anyone, believe me, by the end of lunch you will know everyone. The love of our School, the lifelong friendships made, and our involvement with our School are the most important things that bind us together. Boarding school kids are a special lot!!We would love dearly the “younger” old girls to be part of our group .What a great mix it would be, and most impor-tantly keep the ASSG Old Girls going. I believe outside Charters Towers, we are the only past students group in ex-istence.

Our lunches are held at: Court Terrace Restaurant, Law Courts - George Street, Brisbane from 11.30am for 12 noon.

Dates for 2011 are as follows: Thursday 17th March, Thursday 16th June, Thursday 15th September, Thursday 17th November. The lunch dates are always the same - 3rd Thursday of the above months.

Should you wish to join us or seek further information, please contact: Jacki Clayton: 07 3341 0671 or email: [email protected] or contact Molly Scott: 07 3821 0915

Walls of FameFrom the President...Last year we celebrated the 90th birthday of All Souls with a great weekend in June and the party continues at this year’s reunion with the 90th anniversary of St. Gabriel’s to be celebrated from October 21 - 23. To mark the occasion, a group of old girls who were at the School during the Second World War will make a nostalgic journey to the School’s wartime home, Richmond, to unveil a memorial. They will return to Charters Towers later in the week and continue to celebrate at our reunion weekend. So the focus this reunion will be on celebrating the foundation of St. Gabriel’s in 1921.

Other news in this issue concerns the Past Students’ Museum Project and the progress of the Appeal, which now stands at $128,000 with a target of $400,000. We hope to construct the building next year. As President of your association I am disappointed at the response to this appeal. I well realise that we have recently come through some diffi cult fi nan-cial times but my disappointment centres not around our progress, which is certainly encouraging, but more around the fi gures that show only 7% of the more than 2,500 members who continue to receive this newsletter have supported this Project. As an organisation that prides itself in helping our old School we can do better. The size of your donation is not important. It is your participation in this worthy project, even in some small way, that is paramount. Please get on board and help us gift this museum to the School and save our history for all to enjoy.

This year’s Burry Weekend in January was one of the more successful in recent years and a report is in this issue also. Next year the Burry Weekend falls on 13 – 15 January 2012.

I would like to recognise the efforts of Hilary Grant and Laurelle Thomson both of whom last year left the School. Their work in assisting the Past Students Association was invaluable. Nothing was too much trouble to them and they will be missed. In their place is the new Enrolment Offi cer Jon Teichmann. Likewise he is proving most helpful to our organisation. Our volunteer Association needs this support.

Thanks to all who support our Past Students Association: those who have given to the Museum Project, those who work at Burry Weekends, those who take time out to attend Annual Reunions, those who have sent in memorabilia to be held for our Archives and Museum, the Association’s Management Committee who works hard to keep it functioning, our Brisbane branch of old girls led by Jacki Clayton and especially those who work so hard to get their old classmates back to the School for reunions. I hope many of you can join us in October to celebrate St. Gabriel’s 90th anniversary.

At the reunion dinner this October we induct the late Shirley Butcher (nee Wilson) into the Past Students Walls of Fame. Shirley helped pioneer the fi eld of forensic science in the 50’s and 60’s. After attending St. Gabriel’s from the North Queens-land town of Ayr, she completed a Science Degree in 1947 and subsequently an Honours degree in Organic Chemistry. From early experience with the CSIRO in Melbourne and the SRI in Mackay she landed work in what was then the Federation of Malaya and soon entered the fl edgling world of the Forensic Chemist. From here she travelled to London to work. Though thwarted by the Director of Scotland Yard, Shirley fi nally joined the Metropolitan Police Forensic Science Laboratory, com-monly referred to as the Scotland Yard Lab and oversaw a staff that grew from 6 to 53 with a drastically growing case load. Frustrated with her lack of involvement in the fi eld, she set up a dedicated Fire Investigation Unit beginning the fi rst such unit in the U.K. and possibly the world. It was in this area that Shirley gained a worldwide reputation which resulted in her being seconded to investigate and solve a big hotel fi re in Bermuda. Taking early retirement in 1978 she returned to the farm in Ayr with her husband Herbert Butcher and later relocated to Port Lincoln in South Australia, passing away in 2008.

It is fi tting that in the 90th year of St. Gabriel’s that we recognise an old girl of the School who broke into the male domi-nated area of forensic science and went to the top of her fi eld. She joins a growing number of servers and achievers on our Walls of Fame.

2011 BURRY WEEKENDThis was one of our more successful weekends in recent times. More then 60 willing workers turned up for this traditional occasion, now 35 years old. Driving the projects was Management Committee member, Robbie Peace and we are so grateful for the many hours of preparation he freely gave. Ever ready “chippie” Peter Lewty, who each year travels up from the Burdekin, is always prepared to lend his skills. A number of others supplied machinery and equipment that enabled us to carry out many tasks.

Concreting under the O’Keeffe Oval fence has begun – a project we hope to fi nish in the next year or two. Other concrete pathways were completed at the Junior School and many other tasks were accomplished. It is so good to see not just past students attending, but all members of the wider School community – parents, staff, students and friends. Held just before School starts each year it not only provides an opportunity to carry out specifi c projects but also assists the ground staff in preparing the grounds for the start of another year.

The 2011 ReunionWe are looking forward to another good reunion celebrating St Gabriel’s 90th year. The date to place aside is October 21 – 23. The full programme can be found in this issue. The number of Past Students who turn up depends so much on a “Class Organiser”.

There are celebrations for the following classes:CLASS OF 1961:

Organiser - Bill Grant: [email protected] OF 1971:

Organiser - Kevin Mann: [email protected] OF 2006:

Organiser - Samantha Cowan: [email protected] Left to Right – Alan Scott, Ron Scholes, Keith Scholes,

Colin McDowall, Harold McMillan, Tony Murphy, Eric Anderson, Ted Plumb and Jon Hay

Last year, besides the large group from 1980, there was also a signifi cant group from 1960 celebrating their 50th year since leaving the School. School Captain of that year, Colin McDowall was tireless in his efforts to get his old classmates back and the statistics he provided were interesting. Of the 29 students in the 1960 Senior Class, 21 past students were contacted (1 declined to be involved), 4 had died and 4 could not be contacted. 20 provided written resumes and 19 provided a recent photo (and the 19 all looked pretty good considering the years). Members were located in England, Netherlands, WA, NSW and all over Queensland. 8 past students attended the reunion, plus one from the 1958 Junior Class and the wife of one of the deceased students.

Clive Grant from the Class of 1963 has already begun to organise his classmates for 2013. His email address is [email protected] . Bill Hely of that class has also set up a web site for them http://classof63.info/blog/ .

Those who take the time out of their busy lives to attend reunions are never disappointed.

REUNION PROGRAMME 2011

This year marks the 90th year of the founding of St Gabriel’s School by the Sisters of the Sacred Advent. This momentous occasion will be marked by a celebration of a “most unusual year in the history of the School”. These were the words of Headmistress Miss Ena Eden as she summed up the evacuation of the school in 1942 as Australia’s north feared invasion during World War 2.

In 2009, a plaque to commemorate the evacuation of All Souls’ School was erected at Fletcher Creek near the site of the “Dalrymple-in-the-Bush” school campus of 1942. We will remember the girls’ great move of the same year by erecting a plaque at Richmond in western Queensland, the site of St Gabriel’s relocation for two and a half years.

As the Battle of the Coral Sea raged and the girls watched damaged bombers return from missions, the whole school was bundled onto trucks and a train for the journey to Richmond and their new location – the Royal Hotel.

All Souls’ boasts that it had two pub buildings brought onto campus in its foundation years, but St Gabriel’s went one better and turned a pub into a school. Girls lived in the upstairs rooms and lessons were held in the bar. Travelling US soldiers entering the hotel expecting a beer, were surprised to fi nd schoolgirls with typewriters on the bar and library books where bottles of spirits once stood.

1942 saw a fully functioning school in a pub, educating 53 boarders and 7 day girls. There were also 8 local boys who joined the girls for classes.

Two pianos survived the move along with birds in a cage and the gardener. There were great diffi culties in provisioning fresh food, but there were some compensations. Generous locals donated fresh food and two cows provided milk. The girls had outings to watch shearing at “Silver Hills” and picnics by the dry Flinders River. When the only netball bladder burst, energies were channelled into tennis and physical culture.

But it was not all “beer and games”. Sadly, Miss Eden died before school resumed in 1944. By then, staff and student numbers had fallen drastically and the school was only saved by the move back to Charters Towers in June 1944.

They were extraordinary times which demanded much from all involved. It is worth noting that both heads of St Gabe’s and Souls’ did not live long enough to see retirement. Thankfully, many of the students of the era will be at ASSG in October to add their memories to the events and give thanks for their education in those turbulent years.
