From our early beginnings, it was through the generosity of our community that BGS derived the ability to provide an outstanding education for boys. This tradition of generosity continues to this day thanks to our community of parents, Old Boys, staff, volunteers and donors. Over the past few years, the BGS community has rallied together to support Campaign 2020, with the goal to raise $20M by 2020 for our Bursary Fund, which enables boys in financial need to attend Brisbane Grammar School. Our aspirations for a sustainable Bursary Fund, with the capacity to provide needs-based bursarial support for 10% of the student population (170 boys), is close to being achieved. With $14.5M raised, we are moving into the final phase of this campaign – Our 2020 Vision – with $5.5M to go. In 2018, BGS provided bursarial assistance for 44 boys without having to draw on either the School’s operational budget or the capital of the fund. The entire community supported this endeavour, with contributions from parents, Old Boys and staff vital to the continued growth of the fund. I extend a heartfelt thanks to the P&F Auxiliary for their generous ongoing support, pledging $500,000 for a bursary in perpetuity, and to our 332 parent and Old Boy donors who continue to support BGS initiatives.

As I have always admitted, I am growing up in public and that I have no real long term plan with any of the things that I do, except to seize the opportunities that I can, and basically make it up as I go along, going in whatever direction the Fates send me. Which is basically how I live my life. So this new advancement is allowing me to produce something that is far more like a magazine than it was before. I am very much an old fashioned sort of fellow, and don’t really like many new fangled things. E-books are a particular gripe of mine—I have an e-book reader (mainly because they were incredibly cheap at Asda) and I use it mostly for reading pdfs of technical journals in bed, or reading So welcome to the first issue of the new look Gonzo P.G.

  • Token Bios Micf05v22
    ROVE MCMANUS BIOGRAPHY Rove McManus moved from his native Perth to pursue a career as a stand up comedian in Melbourne in 1995. After hundreds of gigs and a stint on community television Rove landed a chance to show off in front of the nation with nine late night episodes of his own tonight show, rove on Channel Nine in 1999. When Nine decided that they didn’t want another series the Ten Network gave Rove and his production company, Roving Enterprises, another shot with ten episodes in late 2000. Rove Live is now a high profile fixture on the Ten Network’s prime time schedule as well as on TV3 in New Zealand. In 2002 Rove was nominated for the Gold Logie and Rove Live won the Logie for Most Popular Light Entertainment Program. In 2003 Rove took out three Logies, including Most Popular Presenter, Most Popular Light Entertainment/Comedy Program and the coveted Gold Logie for most popular personality on Australian television. He repeated the trick in 2004 and 2005, picking up all three awards including the Gold Logie in each year. Roving Enterprises has produced a number of programs apart from Rove Live, including the sketch comedy program Skithouse and the AFL Football program, Before The Game. Roving has also produced the ARIA Awards since 2002. In 2005 Roving produced Seriously Forty, celebrating forty years of the Network Ten which Rove co-hosted with Bert Newton. Rove returned to his roots in 2005 with a national tour of his brand new show Rove McManus Stands Up performing to more than 35,000 across Australia and New Zealand.

  • Distinction? the IRCAM, Progressive Rock, and Class at the End of Modernization
    Distinction? The IRCAM, Progressive Rock, and Class at the End of Modernization Jonathyne Briggs Emory University The postwar economic miracle, famously termed "les trentes glorieuses" by Jean Fourastie, recreated French society through rapid modernization. For Henri Mendras, this transformation led to the "second French revolution," the disappearance of the social structures of class that had been embedded in France since the nineteenth century. Mendras argued that in the brief span of thirty years, class had been eclipsed by new social constellations of identity, including youth, gender, and ethnicity.1 In his monumental work Distinction, Pierre Bourdieu countered that despite any leveling in economic capital during the postwar era, the dominant bourgeois class cultivated cultural capital to insure its position in society.2 Class maintained a powerful charge in France due to the ability of social elites to dictate cultural norms, so that modernization only reinforced class divisions in the postwar era and any social changes were superficial.3 For Bourdieu, class differentiation continued 1 Henri Mendras and Alistair Cole, Social Change in the Fifth Republic: Towards a Cultural Anthropology of Modern France (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1991). 2 Pierre Bourdieu, Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgment of Taste, trans. Richard Nice (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1984). 3 Kristen Ross makes a similar charge in her Fast Cars, Clean Bodies: Decolonization and the Remaking of French Society (Cambridge, MA: M.I.T.
