  • 2020 Conference
    December 2019 Dear Marvelwood Students and Families, Students have the opportunity to represent Marvelwood at the 2020 Round Square International Conference being held in Australia in September. The conference is being hosted by Scotch Oakburn College in Newstead, Tasmania and will bring together over 350 students and teachers from all around the world. The theme of the conference is Take Less, Be More. ​ ​ Round Square is a worldwide network of 200 schools in 40 countries, all of whom share a holistic approach ​ to learning, built around six IDEALS (internationalism, democracy, environmentalism, adventure, leadership and service). Each year, Round Square schools send a team of delegates to the international conference. Marvelwood has participated in four conferences: The Journey That Makes Us in Switzerland in 2016, Unite to ​ ​ ​ Ignite the Fire Within in Cape Town, South Africa in 2017, Bring Your Difference in Ottawa, Canada in 2018, and ​ ​ ​ Sarvodaya– the world we wish to see in Indore, India. All four conferences were incredible experiences for our ​ ​ ​ delegates, who represented our School with pride, maturity, and curiosity. The Round Square Conference trip is truly the experience of a lifetime. Delegates have the opportunity to learn about and be immersed in cultures from around the world, develop a network of international friends and contacts, and gain perspective on what it means to be citizens of the world. Round Square is a highly recognized and respected organization throughout the world. Delegates become part of a vast network of Round Square alumni, which affords opportunities throughout their lives. The all-inclusive cost will be approximately $3,500 per student, depending on airfare.

  • A SHORT HISTORY of the ARMIDALE SCHOOL
    A SHORT HISTORY of THE ARMIDALE SCHOOL D L (Jim) Graham January, 2008 FOREWORD The genesis of this book was a chance remark by the Headmaster, Murray Guest, about the need for a simple and concise history of the School for new boys and other interested people. When I approached Jim Graham, the author of A School of Their Own (the first and only comprehensive history of TAS), he enthusiastically agreed with the idea. This book is the result; I was privileged to assist Jim with the text and editing. Acknowledgement is given to Andrew Constable, a duty master at TAS in the 1980s, and the members of the then History Committee who produced The Armidale School - An Introduction in 1987. Some material from that publication has been used in the preparation of this book. We also thank Ian Johnstone for his valuable assistance. This is a pilot edition and any suggestions or corrections would be welcome. It is hoped to add illustrations at a later date. David Connah January, 2008 FURTHER INFORMATION For further information on the history of the School, the following sources are invaluable: A School of their Own: The History of The Armidale School, by Jim Graham, published in 1994 and The Armidale School Register 1894-1993, compiled by Belinda Anstock, also published in 1994. Past copies of The Armidalian and Binghi are very useful. Many editions of The Armidalian are reproduced on the School's comprehensive website (www.as.edu.au) which is also well worth searching for other information about TAS. AUTHOR'S NOTE I wish to express my thanks to David Connah and his wife Barbie for their invaluable contribution in the preparation of this Short History.
