In 2006 Rosemary and Robert were jointly awarded the Johnson Trophy as track and field club-persons of the season in recognition of their many years of participation as both competitors and helpers in our sum- mer athletics program. Rosemary’s one and only marathon was the 1984 Fes- tival City Marathon in Adelaide where she ran 3:18.25; a performance that is still highly ranked on our W35 all-time best list. Three of her many half marathons have been in our ACT Vets’ Half Marathon in which she has also volunteered as an official on sixteen other occasions. Rosemary has not only been a determined competitor throughout her long career but has, and still is, a hard- working and efficient administrator. She served eight years on the club committee - from 1983 to 1988 and again in 2006 and 2007. She was secretary in both1985 and 1986 and took over as vice president mid-way through 1987 and two dec- ades later in 2007 and 2008.

Cont. p.4 On the back of the Oceania champs, I am excited about the summer track season that starts on Thursday 17 October (program P.21). We’ve had many enquiries from new people keen to take up athletics again, so hopefully the season opener will be a great night with the main committee volunteering to get the season underway. We now have a seat at the board, with Jayne Hardy elected to the board of the Australian Masters Athletics, as well as the national competition sub-committee reviewing competition programs. Jayne’s extensive experience at local national and international meets will no doubt be invaluable to shaping the future of Masters athletics in Australia. As most of you know, I placed a final ‘call to arms’ in the Bulletin urging members to commit to the 2021 National Track and Field Championships.

  • 2016 Annual Report 2016 Annual Report
    2016 ANNUAL REPORT 2016 ANNUAL REPORT CONTENTS Warden’s Report 2 Appendix 4 WARDEN’S REPORT 2016 will no doubt be recorded in the annals of Trinity College’s history as important and noteworthy, highlighted principally by two milestones; the commencement of classes in the Gateway building and the convening of the inaugural Indigenous Tertiary Education Conference. GATEWAY BUILDING On 22 August 2016, we welcomed over 400 Pathways School students for the first day of classes in the $30 million Gateway building. The Gateway building affirms and strengthens our partnership with the University of Melbourne, particularly in preparing international students to study and live in Melbourne. It is a tangible expression of Trinity’s commitment to higher education and to providing transformative experiences for young people of any nationality, ethnicity, race or creed. The building provides exceptional tutorial resources for pathways, residential and theological students and state of the art facilities for visual and performing arts. INDIGENOUS TERTIARY EDUCATION CONFERENCE On 18-19 November 2016, Trinity College in partnership with the Melbourne Centre for the Study of Higher Education hosted the inaugural Indigenous Tertiary Education Conference in the Gateway building. Focusing on the theme of transitions, the conference provided a forum where a diverse range of people came together to share information and knowledge on how best to support and improve outcomes for Indigenous higher education students. The 2016 Narrm Orator, Stan Grant (journalist, social commentator and author), chaired the student forum. At this session, four of Trinity’s Indigenous students (Alexandra Hohoi, Douglas Briggs, Eloise Bentley and Neerim Callope) spoke candidly with audience members about the challenges facing Indigenous students transitioning to higher education.
