We express our condolences to those families who suffered human or property loss at this time. It is fitting, therefore, that this Annual Report commences with a recollection of the January disaster. For some months prior to this flooding the State had experienced solid rainfalls which were quite in contrast to the preceding decade of drought. After only eleven days into the first month of 2011, Toowoomba had recorded its wettest January for 37 years with 255 mm of rainfall recorded. This followed the city’s wettest December since 1942. With record rainfall, saturated grounds and no infiltration possible, surface runoff was inevitable. Consequently, when East and West Creeks broke their banks, a two metre wall of water hit the Central Business District. This occurred on Monday 10 January 2011 whilst the School was fortunately on its summer break. We experienced what commentators promptly referred to as an inland tsunami hitting Toowoomba and this resulted in immediate world-wide media attention. At the School, Mills Oval was completely underwater as graphically shown in the photographs reproduced in the Volume 21, Number 1, April 2011 edition of the School publication Omnibus. Old Boys’ Memorial Oval was also underwater in many areas, but not totally submerged, whilst water damage occurred elsewhere in the grounds and in some classrooms. Major erosion was evident, for example, on the southerly side of Trustees Oval by the embankment facing Herries Street. This flooding in Toowoomba occurred on the same date (10 January) and at around the same time of the day (early afternoon) as a previous major natural disaster had affected the School. This was on 10 January 1976 when virtually the whole eastern sector of Toowoomba was devastated by a freak hailstorm and all of the School buildings were severely damaged. In our case, some 550 windows were smashed and every roof had to be either fully replaced or restored; as did internal fittings and furnishings. Within one day of this year’s disaster we invited the flood victims from Toowoomba and the Lockyer Valley to use our Boarding Houses as emergency accommodation. The School had received prior warning of such a responsibility when approximately five days earlier we were requested by the Toowoomba Regional Council to consider offering our facilities to potential flood evacuees from Toowoomba Grammar School – Report to the Minister for Education, Training and Employment 1 St George and surrounding areas. We acceded to the Council’s request and prepared contingency plans, only to be advised some time later that our services would not be required. Little did the Toowoomba Regional Council and Toowoomba Grammar School know of the events which were to unfold. During the week following January 10th, the School welcomed in excess of one hundred adults and children into three of our Boarding Houses; namely Stephens, Groom and Boyce Houses. The dedicated efforts of so many of the School’s Boarding Staff, in company with members of the catering, laundry and grounds staff were, although well above the call of duty, not unexpected given the gravity of the situation faced by those affected. We felt the least the School could do in this situation was to provide shelter and nutritious meals for the evacuees. The School’s Deputy Headmaster, Mr Timothy Kelly, was particularly tireless in his efforts to completely oversee all of the emergency relief work. This included arranging all of the accommodation, catering and care requirements for our one hundred guests. It is said that it is in times of adversity that communities rally and, in keeping with this premise, we saw a magnificent example of this during the January floods in terms of the School’s response. This was reinforced further when the boys of the School later fund-raised to collect $2,600 for the flood relief appeal. The School’s Enrolment We commenced 2011 with a total enrolment of 1,088; the first time in the history of the School that numbers have exceeded 1,000. This

The University Prize in Education of Adults awarded by the Council of the University of Auckland, 1985.

The offer was unconstitutional because on 10 July 1899, the Premier made it in response to a request from the Commandant and senior officers of the Queensland Defence Force that ‘in the event of war breaking out in South Africa the Colony of Queensland could send a contingent of troops and a machine gun’. War was not declared until 10 October 1899. Under Westminster government conventions, the Commandant’s request for military intervention in an overseas war should have been discussed by the elected legislators in the House. However, Parliament had gone into recess on 24 June following the Federation debate. During the critical 10-week period, the politicians were in their electorates preparing for the Federation Referendum on 2 September 1899, after which Parliament would resume.
