We are grateful to Elena Christianos, Chronicle Co-ordinator, and Openbook Howden for their commitment in this production. Our Purpose We discover, nurture and develop the unique qualities of each boy to help him grow into an enterprising, confident and resilient man. Our Beliefs At Prince Alfred College we believe men have unique skills, talents and abilities. We believe it is their differences, not their similarities that need to be nurtured. We recognise that their traditional roles and responsibilities are changing. As a consequence, they need clarity, flexibility and a clear sense of purpose. Our goal is to nurture and develop Princes Men: • Men who know who they are, work hard and value their roles and contributions. • And at the same time, to develop men with kindness, who care and support others. • Men with empathy, humility and a respect for diversity, spirituality and the beliefs of others. • Men who form strong networks and enduring relationships. • Men with a sense of duty, honour and integrity. • Men with courage and emotional strength. • Men with a good sense of humour, confidence and self-reliance. • Men with purpose and a capacity to contribute to a better world.

    E-Footy RECORD 31st May 2008 Issue 9 Editorial with Marty King AFL AND AFLPA SET TO MOVE ON NEW ALCOHOL POLICY It’s terrifi c to see the AFL and the AFL Players Association working collaboratively to formulate a new policy on responsible alcohol consumption in the football environment. They are seeking feedback from each of the 16 AFL clubs, together with key national drug and alcohol experts, before framing a policy with guidelines that all AFL clubs and associated bod- ies like AFL Queensland can use to develop their own. This comes after a lot of background work was done over almost two years and the AFL Com- mission received a full briefi ng. The AFL, the Players’ Association and the AFL clubs understand that quite clearly that they have a responsibility to promote responsible drinking within the AFL and among the 16 clubs, the players and staff. But it’s not just about the elite level. The same will apply at the grassroots level and we at AFLQ will look to partner with the League on this important initiative. The guidelines within the AFL Framing Policy will provide a framework for AFL clubs and asso- ciated bodies to assist them in developing their own individual club responsible alcohol policies. The AFL Framing Policy lists a set of objectives for players and club staff, including the devel- opment of approaches for responsible consumption, effective pathways for treatment of alco- hol-related problems, creating responsible drinking cultures and using player welfare oriented and education-based approaches to promote responsible alcohol consumption.
