He was and remains the first Aboriginal person to become a school principal. Over the years Uncle Vic has taught at various schools around the Illawarra, including Woonona, Pleasant Heights, Thirroul, Berkeley and Gwynneville public schools. Since retiring from teaching Uncle Vic has become an accomplished ceramic artist and carver. The esteem held for Uncle Vic in the various leadership roles he has undertaken in the community, see him aptly described as a ‘legend’, ‘a scholar and a gentleman’. Perhaps his biggest accomplishment though is his lifelong marriage to his lovely wife Ruth Uncle Vic Chapman will be delivering the Welcome to Country address on Monday 26 October. 7 Keynotes Costa Georgiadis TV Host / Presenter; Landscape Architect - Gardening Australia Discussing: Ensuring our Message is Heard during the Monday morning session Costa Georgiadis is a landscape architect who has an all-consuming passion for plants and people - he knows how to bring out the best in both of them, and takes great pleasure in bringing them together.

  • Australian Notable Gardens? Towards a List for Each State, Territory and Region…
    Australian Notable Gardens? Towards a list for each state, territory and region… The AGHS are keen to find out from you which ten gardens in your region, state or territory – public and private – you think are remarkable or notable in that area. This might be for their heritage significance, their quality, or their intactness or ‘integrity’ (e.g. of an era, or style). It might be for their historic, expression of their geographic location, their style or design or their ‘intact’ character. They may be heritage-listed, in recognition of this – or unsung gems. Below are some ideas of ours as a start, with some reasons why. In two lists: ‘Public’ and ‘Private’. They are listed in chronological order – i.e. oldest garden to youngest. This in no way makes judgements about any being ‘better’ than any others – just ‘remarkable’ in that state or area. By ‘Public’ we mean publicly owned, and open to the public. So parks, botanic gardens and the like. NB: this does not imply ‘free’ entry, necessarily. With increasing budget stringency, some ‘Public’ gardens now charge fees for entry, to help cover maintenance costs. An example are the suite of properties, some with well renowned historic gardens, run by Sydney Living Museums, e.g. Elizabeth Farm, Parramatta, NSW and Vaucluse House garden, Vaucluse, NSW. Universities are ‘private’ entities, and ‘private’ means privately-owned, some of which are opened to the public (usually for a fee). Again, the emphasis is not on whether entry is free or paid – it is on ownership and accessibility. AGHS membership often means that members can access privately- owned gardens that do not, normally, or frequently, open to the general public.

  • Stories from the Heart of Australia, the Stories of Its People
    O UR GIFT TO Y O U Stories from the PENNING THE P ANDEMIC EDIT ED B Y J OHANNA S K I NNE R & JANE C O NNO L LY Inner Cover picture – Liz Crispie Inner Cover design – Danielle Long Foreword – Johanna Skinner and Jane Connolly Self-Isolation – Margaret Clifford Foreword Late in 2019 news reports of a highly virulent virus were emerging from China. No one could imagine then what would follow. As a general practitioner working at a busy Brisbane surgery, I really did not think that it would affect us that much. How wrong I was. Within months, the World Health Organisation had named the virus COVID 19 and a pandemic was declared. Life as we knew it was changed, perhaps forever. I was fortunate to be part of a practice that had put protocols in place should the worst happen, but even so, I felt overwhelmed by the impact on the patients that I was in contact with daily. They poured their hearts out with stories of resilience, heartache and lives changed irrevocably. I contacted my friend Jane, an experienced editor and writer, about my idea to collect these tales into an anthology. In less than five minutes, she responded enthusiastically and became its senior editor, bringing her years of experience and sharp eye to detail to the anthology. Together, we spent many weekends over pots of tea and Jane’s warm scones reading the overwhelming number of stories and poems that the public entrusted to us. Our greatest regret was that we couldn’t accommodate every piece we received.

Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME) UOW program manager Nadia Neal says there is clear evidence that participating in AIME gives Indigenous high school students the skills, opportunities and confi dence to complete high school and successfully move on to tertiary education (Story: Page 4) UUOWOW 555656 CCommunityBrochure.inddommunityBrochure.indd 2 111/07/121/07/12 111:061:06 AMAM Vice-Chancellor’s message: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AT THE HEART OF OUR UNIVERSITY The University of Wollongong traces its origins to a community fund- raising campaign more than half a century ago that provided the foundations for a small technical-based college to grow into the world- class institution it is today. So it stands to reason that UOW has maintained a close connection with the community of the Illawarra and South Coast of New South Wales ever since. This relationship was recognised in 2012 when the inaugural QS Intelligence Unit benchmarking audit of the world’s universities gave UOW 50 out of 50 points for engagement as part of a fi ve-star ranking for UOW across the audit’s six criteria of employability, teaching, infrastructure, internationalism, innovation and engagement. While the University is proudly international in our outlook, we arguably have never been more connected to our home community, through our main campus and the Innovation Campus in Wollongong and our facilities in the Shoalhaven, Batemans Bay, Bega, Moss Vale, Loftus and the Sydney CBD.
