This time he has organised a reunion of the junior crews coached by Phil Ainsworth in 1980s. Great work Geoff. Remember this was the time when Jim Sprigg was President and Phil drove an EJ Holden. Geoff’s story follows. Phil Ainsworth, the great juniors’ coach Mercantile is hosting a reunion for team members of the Men’s Junior 4+ crews coached by Phil Ainsworth. During the mid-eighties Junior crews successful in winning the Australian National Championship were afforded selection in the Australian Rowing team and sent to the Junior World FISA Championships. Phil successfully coached consecutive crews to National titles in 1984 – 1987 1985 crew with Geoff in the bow seat As fortune would have it members of these crews, Peter Tomanovits (1984), Geoff Barden (1985), Simon Morrison (1987) and Club Captain Bill Webster (1986) are rowing together once a week in the club master’s program, preparing for the upcoming 2019 Head races. At a recent Thursday night barrel, the group decided to host a reunion at the club that included the Mercantile and Australian Junior 4+ crews that each member was a part of. The reunion will take place the Sunday after the AFL Grand Final, 29th September 2019. Emails and invitations have been sent far and wide to reunite the crews from this memorable chapter in the club’s history. Preparations are well underway. We are delighted to have acceptance from team Manager, Dr John Drewe and importantly coach Phil Ainsworth who is preparing for the reunion working on a detailed presentation that is sure to bring many stories back to life. Club President, Anthony Johnson and past President Andrew Guerin have agreed to join the group for a reunion row in club eights before we settle in for our long lunch. ______________________________________________________________________________ Vale Julie McCall Published 14th September 2019 It with deep sadness that we advise members of the passing of Julie McCall, widow of Graham, mother of rowers Felicity and Duncan, and grandmother of current rowers Alex and Phoebe Wolf. Our condolences to all of her family who are so much part of Mercantile. Julie was a much loved person who endeared herself to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She had many long and special friendships at Mercantile Rowing Club and the rowing community through supporting Graham, her children Felicity and Duncan whilst rowing, and more recently her grandchildren. She cared for Graham through his long illness and died after her own long illness. The funeral will be held at Kooyong Tennis Club, 489 Glenferrie Road Kooyong on Monday 16th September 2019 at 2.30pm. ______________________________________________________________________________ NTC first intake – congratulations to Mercs members Published 14th September 2019 Congratulations to those Mercs members who have been re-inducted back into the into the National Training Centres.

    Newsletter 8, December 2014 Mark Dempster, Mathematics From the Principal... Peter Splitek, Coordinator Science It is hard to believe that the 2014 school year is over. Reflecting back, I am extremely pleased with the achievements of our students. Our Year 8-11 Awards Ceremony highlighted our students’ incredible commitment to achieve outstanding results. It also highlighted how community minded our students are with a huge number winning awards for school service. While the year was coming to an end for senior students, Year 8 and 9 students continued working hard to prepare for their important end of year presentations. The Year 8 Show Case held in the George Cresswell Hall on Tuesday 9 December 2014 was extremely successful Rob Handley, Mathematics with over 90% of parents attending their child's presentation. Many parents commented on Daphne White, Home Economics what a wonderful experience it was for them to listen to their child discussing their learning and the highlights of their year. Similarly, the Year 9 Presentations were outstanding and displayed the huge array of challenging activities students participate in during the year. Every year our teachers work extremely hard to support students by delivering high quality learning experiences. In Week 7 this term, staff from all Learning Areas shared the work of their Professional Learning Team (PLT) with their colleages; what they have achieved and what their next steps will be in 2015. The PLTs further highlight our teachers’ commitment Karin Wichmann, LOTE Teacher John McKenzie, HASS Teacher to continue to learn together and find new and exciting ways to engage and support our students to achieve their absolute best.
