Celebration
In terms of heart, the School oozes care, friendliness
and a love for neighbour. The current crop of
students continuously look for ways to help the
less fortunate, which is evident in the plethora of
charities our students raise funds for and in student
participation rates in community service.
Celebrating 2013
and the Individual
Life is all about celebration and
appreciation. As Oprah Winfrey
once said, ‘The more you praise
and celebrate your life, the more
there is in life to celebrate.’
As I look back on Kilvington’s 90-year history, there
is much to celebrate and appreciate. From its humble
beginnings – with 13 girls and 2 boys gathered in
a small church hall – the School has grown and
evolved. Next year, there will be approximately 640
enrolments, the most in Kilvington’s history, on
spacious grounds that are being added to each year.
Throughout this time, two threads have continued to
be woven through the Kilvington fabric – academic
excellence and strength of character. Kilvington
has always prided itself on offering a holistic
education, with the development of mind and heart.
This is worth celebrating and appreciating.
In terms of mind, Kilvington has always had
an enviable reputation for academic success. On
a regular basis, over 75 per cent of its Year 12
students receive an ATAR score, or equivalent, in
the top 25 per cent of the state. Since the inception
of NAPLAN, Kilvington’s results have continuously
been well above state averages. In 2012’s NAPLAN
results, Kilvington was ranked first in independent
co-ed junior schools and seventh in independent
co-ed secondary schools in Australia. In addition,
the School has carved out an enviable reputation
in the areas of Performing Arts and Robotics.
Increasingly, our Sports and Languages programs
are expanding and enjoying great results.

One of my privileges is to attend regular Alumni
reunions at the School. These evenings always
leave me on a high as I meet and greet remarkable
Kilvington women, many of whom have dedicated
their lives to academic pursuits and/or the service
of others. Kilvington women live out the Kilvington
motto – ‘Not for our own, but others’ good’ –
making a significant difference to community life.
I look forward to celebrating and appreciating the
journey of our male graduates as well.
Another School attribute worth celebrating and
appreciating is our deep regard for the value of
each person. Within the fabric of the School is the
conviction that each of us is of infinite value and
intrinsic worth and that we are all precious in
the eyes of our Creator. Naturally, it follows that
individual differences are respected and celebrated.
As M. Scott Peck says, ‘Share our similarities,
celebrate our differences.’ Given that each student is
different, with different learning needs, Kilvington
teaching staff work tirelessly to ensure they cater
for each student’s needs. Indeed, this has been the
main focus of our teaching staff for the last three
years.
Speaking of the teaching staff, and our nonteaching staff as well, Kilvington has always been
blessed to have a highly capable and dedicated staff.
They, too, continually live out the School motto to
the benefit of student learning.
Throughout our 90th year, there have been
birthday celebrations aplenty. The Foundation
Day Church Service, reunion gatherings, PFA and
staff functions have all enjoyed special occasions
with delicious birthday cake on offer. Ninety years
is a significant milestone, and in celebrating and
appreciating our past and current achievements, it
has given us the confidence to look forward to a
bright future.

Learning
– Getting the Best from Every Student
by Teresa Deshon, Deputy Principal
For the past 90 years, the educational
philosophy of Kilvington Grammar
School has begun and ended with
the uniqueness of each student
within the school community. We
celebrate the individuality of each
student and all that he or she can
bring to our learning community.
Teachers at Kilvington take into
account who they are teaching, as
well as what they are teaching, as
our teaching and learning goals are
to plan actively and consistently to
help students move positively along
the learning continuum.
Differentiated instruction is widely used at
Kilvington. Our teachers know each student as an
individual and understand what each one brings as
a learner to the classroom. Our staff are experts in
the disciplines they teach and flexible in matching
teaching styles and methods to student needs. As
a School we have spent the last three years in our
Professional Learning activities and Professional
Development days working with outside experts,
including Anna Bennett, a consultant from
Independent Schools Victoria, Dr John Munro,
06 | KILVINGTON NEWS
a world-renowned specialist in differentiation for
gifted and talented students, and Steve Biddulph,
a well-known Australian author who writes and
lectures all over the world about education for girls
and boys. This focused and extensive Professional
Learning has given our staff the tools they require
to deliver responsive instruction and affirms the
centrality of curriculum in our School. We also
research and review best practice and current
research in the area of developing Action Research
projects within faculties to ensure our teaching and
learning are taking into account the latest work in
these areas.
With teacher support and guidance, students are
able to extend themselves with purpose.
If a student learns faster and is ready for greater
depth or breadth of knowledge, then our teachers
vary the learning sequence and use methods
such as compacted curriculum, tiered tasks and
acceleration in some cases, to broaden the scope
of the learning. If a student needs additional
support, then provision can be made. One size
does not fit all at Kilvington, and our programs
are flexible so that we can maximise the potential
of all students.
At Kilvington, we understand
that learning is a partnership
between school and home.
Use of visual/graphic organisers, group work,
role plays, oral presentations, class materials
presented in text, visual and auditory form and
ICT (iPads, laptops, desktops, smartphones and
the like) are commonly used by Kilvington’s
teachers so that differing learning styles and
individual student interests are taken into
account. In many situations, students are offered
choice in the types of tasks and activities they
undertake.
Our depth projects, cross-curricular projects,
enrichment program, master classes and everbroadening elective programs give students
across the School the opportunity to be affirmed
and stretched and to contribute and accomplish
things they may not have thought possible. This
in turn develops each student’s self-efficacy and
drive to seek meaning.
Both in operation and tone, Kilvington
classroom environments balance seriousness
about schoolwork with flexibility, engagement
and celebration of success. The function of our
classrooms enables students and teachers to
share responsibility so that the environment
maximises learning for each member. Teachers
are constantly assessing student readiness,
interest and learning profile to modify content,
process, product and the learning environment.
Such responsive teaching is the key to our
differentiated classrooms.
At Kilvington, we understand that learning is a
partnership between school and home. We are a
school that is passionate about and dedicated to
excellence in teaching and learning for all. Our
relationships with students are key, based on
trust, care and respect. That is the Kilvington
difference.
With teacher support and
guidance, students are
able to extend themselves
with purpose.
In every classroom in the School, the teaching and
learning activities ensure students have meaningful
access to the content being taught. Effective teaching
does not just transfer knowledge; it helps students
to discover the power of knowledge. Through a
differentiated curriculum, Kilvington students are
challenged, focused and engaged. Teaching and
learning methods used demand that students invest
and connect with what is being taught and then
reflect on and review their knowledge and skills.

Kilvington’s
Flagship
Programs
Kilvington Grammar School is renowned
for leading the way in curriculum and cocurricular areas through Flagship Programs.
These ‘Flagships’ have an emphasis on best
practice and partnerships between our School
and the community. We pride ourselves on our
achievements in these areas on a local, state and
national level and are constantly looking for new
ways to excel in them.
The Flagship Programs not only provide us
with a high profile in education, but also offer
our students the unique opportunity to shine on
the bigger stage. Kilvington Grammar School
Flagship Programs and the staff who coordinate
them include:
• Writing (Marian Le Bas)
• Robotics/Engineering (Rajnesh Ram)
• Performing Arts (Music) (Celia Gall)
• Technology (Teresa Deshon)
• Care (Matt Brinson)
08 | KILVINGTON NEWS
Writing
In 2013, the programs and activities undertaken
as part of the Writing Flagship Program at
Kilvington included an English Festival and
attending the Melbourne Writers Festival (MWF).
The theme for this year’s English Festival was
inspired by the words of Ludwig Wittgenstein
(1889–1951), a German philosopher: ‘The limits of
my language are the limits of my world.’ Events
included ‘Words with Kilvington’ for Years 7 and
8; writing workshops with author Scott Gardner
for Year 9; a screen-writing workshop for Year 10
with Simmone Howell; writing workshops with
author Kelly Gardiner for Year 11; and writing
workshops also with author Kelly Gardiner for
Year 12. Year 9 students also visited the Monet’s
Garden exhibition and used the visit as stimulus
for creative writing. Further, a cross-curricular
activity between English and PE was held for
Year 10 students at the Melbourne Cricket
Ground (MCG). Students were guided around the
MCG, where they experienced aspects of major
‘The limits of my language
are the limits of my world.’
sporting events, including visiting the ‘box’ where
journalists view AFL and cricket matches and
record their stories, and seeing the windowless,
soundproof room deep in the training areas where
coaches rant and rave at their teams.
This year, selected students attended the following
events/workshops at the MWF:
• My Life in Comics
• Melbourne on the Page
• Suburban Wildlife
• To Infinity and Beyond – Year 6 and Years 8/9
Accelerated Maths classes attended.
Other events conducted this year included an ‘Out
loud’ poetry workshop for Year 9 students, as well
as writing workshops ‘Seven Steps to Writing
Success’, which included:
• Training students in classes (30 students) in any
of the Seven Steps.
• Presenting keynotes to all Year 9 students on
how to rapidly improve writing.
• Training students in narrative and persuasive
planning, and Sizzling Starts and Endings with
Impact in preparation for NAPLAN.
In 2014, new Writing electives will include Scribes
and Scribblers for Year 9 and Literature for Year
10. Also in 2014, the School will encourage
participation in the ICAS English Competition.
Robotics/Engineering
Robotics is defined as the branch of technology
dealing with the ‘design, construction, operation,
and application of robots, as well as computer
systems for their control, sensory feedback,
and information processing’. At Kilvington, the
Science Faculty has taken its Robotics Program
to a new level through continuous innovation.
A robotics engineering thread runs through
Kilvington’s Science curriculum. Students use
LEGO Mindstorms to design, program and control
fully functional robotic models. They use software
to plan, test and modify sequences of instructions
for a variety of lifelike robotic behaviours, and
collect and analyse data from sensors using datalogging software.
In 2010, the Robotics Club was established at
Kilvington with the aim of encouraging students’
interest in robotics and to help prepare them for
competitions, such as the RoboCupJunior (RCJ)
Australia. The Club meets at lunchtime every
Tuesday and Friday and is open to students in Years
4–6 and all Senior School students. Kilvington has
achieved astonishing and well-deserved success at
this competition over the years, including in 2010
when the Senior Team of students from Years
10 and 11 constructed three robots and were
declared the overall winners in the Victorian State
Finals. This result qualified them to compete in
the RoboCup National Finals in Canberra, where
they received the Encouragement Award. In 2011,
after winning the state competition, the Senior
Dance team went on to win the Australia National
competition. The team repeated this feat in 2012.
In 2013, the Robotics team impressed yet again,
winning first place in the Senior Dance category
at the Victorian State Competition. Two Kilvington
teams then attended the RCJ Australia Open in
Brisbane in September in the categories of Senior
Dance and Senior Theatre. The Senior Dance
Theatre team achieved third place, the best we
have achieved so far in this particular category.
The Senior Dance team achieved fourth place
against the best teams in the nation – a fabulous
result.
In 2014, the Kilvington Robotics Club plans to
enter more categories in the RCJ and hopes one
day to compete overseas. Stay tuned!
| 09 Performing Arts (Music)
Developing students’ musical and performance
abilities and appreciation is one of our School’s
most important tasks. Kilvington’s Music
Program is conducted in the spirit of catering for
the ‘whole child’. Students can choose from a wide
range of options, in order to find the program
that best suits their needs and interests. Music
has been shown to have significant benefits
for students’ academic studies by developing
concentration, comprehension and dexterity.
Studying a musical instrument has also been
shown to assist children’s cognitive abilities.
In 2013, students have had the opportunity
to participate in a range of Performing Arts
programs. These include the Kilvington Klefs,
the Choristers, the Prep–Year 4 Production, the
Years 5–6 Production, the Senior Production,
the Annual School Concert and Celebration
Night. Students have also had the opportunity to
participate in the Royal South Street Eisteddfod
and the Kodaly Choral Festival. The latter is a
biennial event and by invitation only, which
speaks to the School’s reputation for a high
standard of choral singing.
In September, Dan Walker, a world-renowned
choir composer and singer, came to Melbourne
to sing solo with the Melbourne Symphony
Orchestra. He also came to Kilvington to work
with the Kilvington Choristers and Kilvington
Klefs. Both choirs sang songs composed by Dan,
who was very impressed with their musicality
and quality of sound. Dan also workshopped
vocal exercises, which was great fun. The
Hiroshima Junior Marimba Ensemble, which
recently performed a Peace Concert at Federation
Square, also performed at Kilvington.
New initiatives have begun in the area of
Performing Arts this year, including the
formation of a new Junior Pop Group and a Year
7 drama night. The Prep–Year 8 choir has been
expanded to include Year 9 students, who have
been allocated time in each cycle to practise in
order to continue to build on the singing culture
at Kilvington. In addition, a Year 2 Strings
Program has begun to build numbers in the
instrumental strings program.
10 | KILVINGTON NEWS
In 2014, new Performing Arts subjects will be
introduced into Kilvington’s curriculum: a Year
9 Elective ‘Let’s Make Music’ and VCE ‘Drama’
and ‘Theatre Studies’. Students will also have the
opportunity to participate in a new Year 7 Band
Program, a European Choir Tour, a statewide
Competition for Orchestra and/or Stage Band,
and a number of individual instrumental
competitions.
Technology
Kilvington has a long history of being at the
forefront where technology is concerned. In 1994,
then Principal Di Fleming introduced laptop
computers for Years 7–12, making Kilvington
one of the first laptop schools in Australia.
The School was also a Beta-testing site for the
‘Schools Net’ program, which was dedicated
to successfully integrating the internet into
schools, and was Australia’s first wireless school.
In 2013, the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
program was introduced at Kilvington. As part
of this program, each year level enjoys a high
level of exposure to different forms of technology,
as follows:
• Prep–Year 2 – each student has access to an
iPad as part of a class set.
• Years 3–5 – each student has their own iPad.
• Year 6 – each student has their own laptop and
access to an iPad as part of a class set.
• Year 7 – each student has their own iPad and
laptop.
• Years 8–12 – each student has either a laptop
and/or an iPad.
In 2014, the BYOD program will be further
extended to include options for students to
purchase and use the following devices:
• iPad Mini
• iPad Air
• MacBook Air
• HP Ultrabook
• Touch-screen Windows laptop.
| 11 Kilvington takes pride in its
well-developed and well-recognised
system of care.
Trialling of a Virtual Desktop Interface
will also begin, whereby students who have
non-Kilvington laptops will log into Virtual
Desktops to access school software.
It is anticipated in 2015/2016 that an Open
BYOD program will be rolled out. The
School will provide students with minimum
specifications for a device (whether a
Windows-based laptop, Mac laptop, iPad or
android tablet), and all students will use the
Virtual Desktop, which will also be provided
to students at home.
In 2014, the School will enjoy an increased
internet link of 100 MB, which will be 10
times faster than it is currently (now 15 MB),
with capabilities to go to 1 GB.
In 2014, Kilvington will introduce several
new electives, as follows:
• Year 9 Game Programming
• Year 9 Animation and Multimedia
• VCE Unit 1 and 2 IT (Years 10 and 11).
The School will also encourage participation
among students in Years 5–10 in the ICAS
Computer Competition in 2014, and will
investigate other computer competitions as
VCE IT grows.
Care
Based upon the core conviction that,
because every individual is of infinite value
and intrinsic worth, he or she needs to be
treated with the utmost dignity and respect,
Kilvington has always had an enviable
reputation for care. In part, this has been due
to its smaller size.
Since its inception, Care has always been
focused on the development of the whole
person – the academic, emotional, social,
physical and spiritual aspects of each
person’s humanity. What Caroline Barrett,
Kilvington’s founder, said in her speech at the
School’s opening still rings true today: ‘The
School should not be looked upon merely as a
machine for grinding out knowledge, but to
mould and build the character of the students
and teach them that honour and truth should
12 | KILVINGTON NEWS
come first in their lives.’
In essence, the School continually strives
to develop a culture of care that places the
quality of relationships at the centre of all
interactions.
Students learn most effectively when their
emotional, social and physical needs are being
met. So it is essential that schools provide
a climate of care, warmth and hope that
addresses these needs if the best in student
learning outcomes is to be achieved.
Kilvington’s Senior School Pastoral Care
System is organised into the four House
groups. The system is divided into Tutor
Groups for Years 7–9 and Years 10–12,
with three areas of assistance within it:
the Tutor, the House Dean and the Head of
Senior School, supported by the Counsellor/
Chaplain, Year 9 and VCE Coordinators,
Learning Support teachers and International
Student Coordinator. In the Junior School,
classroom teachers assume primary pastoral
care responsibility for each child and are
supported by the Counsellor/Chaplain and
the Head of Junior School.
Kilvington has a Vertical Pastoral Care
System. Its strengths, compared to a year
level or other pastoral care systems, are:
•
students are well known and valued for
who they are;
•
deeper relationships and connections
between students and staff flourish;
•a greater sense of House identity develops,
whereby older students look out for
younger ones, underpinning the ‘family
concept’ and developing a community
culture;
•younger students can see what lies ahead
in later year levels and be mentored;
•
more friends in other year groups are
made.
There is always room for improvement, but
Kilvington takes pride in its well-developed
and well-recognised system of care.

Christina
Logan-Bell
hen Christina Logan-Bell started in
Prep at Kilvington in 1983, she had
no idea that one day she would be a set
and costume designer. But, during her 12 years
at Kilvington, she grew to realise that she loved
theatre, music, dancing and singing.
And Christina was at the right school to foster
her love of all things musical. She got involved
in singing through joining choirs and the
Madrigals, and in theatre by taking part in
School productions, both as an actor and a
set and costume designer. The list of musical
productions Christina took part in during her
years at Kilvington is impressive. Starting with
‘The King and I’ in Year 6, she then participated
in a musical every year from Years 9–12,
including ‘Anything Goes’, ‘Guys and Dolls’,
‘Carousel’ and ‘My Fair Lady’.
Work filled her day, but Christina
felt there was more to life.
When Christina left school in 1995, she knew
she wanted to do something creative, but just
what that something was, was elusive. So, she
went to Monash University and enrolled in a
Bachelor of Performing Arts majoring in Music.
Then she acquired a Diploma of Design in Visual
Merchandising from RMIT. Not sure she wanted
to study any more, Christina started work in
visual merchandising and event management.
Work filled her day, but Christina felt there
was more to life. Finally, she realised what she
wanted to do – set and costume design – and
she enrolled at the Victorian College of the Arts
(VCA) in Theatre Design in 2007.
14 | KILVINGTON NEWS
Since then, Christina hasn’t looked back, going
from strength to strength in her chosen field.
While at the VCA, she designed the set and
costumes for ‘Night School’ by Harold Pinter,
directed by Richard Murphet, and ‘Between
Today and Tomorrow’ by Daniel Keene; and did
costume design for ‘White with Wireless Wheels’
by Jack Hibbard for Melbourne Union Theatre,
directed by Susie Dee, and for ‘Living Things’
(puppetry) created by Peter Wilson.
‘I’m so glad I didn’t do the VCA course straight
from school – I don’t think I would’ve got
everything out of that I did. I’d worked and had
life experience, so I think I had a lot more to
bring to it,’ says Christina. And her message for
the Year 12 Class of 2013 is to do something
you love. Christina feels very lucky that she’s
always had the unconditional support of her
parents, who encouraged her to do what she
wanted to do.
Today, Christina has the distinction of being the
resident designer for Magnormos and designed
the set for their recent production of ‘Flower
Children’. She is currently working on three
musicals at the moment – the Stephen Schwartz
Triptych, which are concert versions of three of
his musicals – ‘Godspell’, ‘Pippin’ and ‘Children
of Eden’ – at the Melbourne Recital Centre. And,
in her spare time, she finds time to do fencing
and watch lots of different sports.
So, Christina’s message is to follow your dreams
and stay true to what you love.
Goodbye to
Year 12s of 2013
by Ellen Massuger and Hannah Vass
When Valedictory Day finally arrived, we couldn’t quite
believe it was our turn to say goodbye to Kilvington.
We began the day at 6.30 am with the ritual Year 12
breakfast. Next we arrived at School and embarked on
a few loud victory laps through the corridors of the
whole School. It was then time to reflect on our years
at Kilvington during our last assembly.
Emotions ran high when the House assemblies began
and the younger students and House Deans shared
their memories. As the reality of leaving our supportive
Houses hit home, it was time to bring out the tissues.
Our final church service was made special by having
younger siblings participate in the readings, and it
was finally our turn to light our graduation candles
and walk out of Dalton Hall, following in the footsteps
of so many Kilvonians.
a beautiful meal with our parents and teachers. There
was a toast to the graduating class from Mr Andrew
Johnson and a reply from the School Co-Captains, Ellen
and Alex, who thanked the Kilvington community.
Then Mr Charlton spoke, reminding us that we were
the first year level he has seen through from Year
7 to Year 12 as Principal. Samantha Longano gave
a reflection from a Kilvington parent’s perspective,
and Emma Hagen and Beci Hassett gave a funny but
accurate summary of our Year 12 experience. Finally,
there was a last chance to thank our teachers.
In the evening, the celebrations continued at our
Valedictory dinner. At the Lincoln Toorak, we enjoyed
We will all miss Kilvington as our second home, but it
is time now to embark on our futures.
Thank You to Leadership
Teams of 2013
by Jeanette Rawlings, Head of Junior School
Leadership at Kilvington is about how students can make
a meaningful contribution to the School as a whole, to the
lives of individual students and to the wider community.
In its leaders, the School looks for students who show
strength of character and the ability to connect with
others. Millie Hogg, Junior School Co-Captain, and Alex
Parker, School Co-Captain, were both surprised by the
influence they have had on younger students. Millie is
mindful of the fact that younger students may gauge
their reaction to something by seeing how she reacts,
while Alex has learned first-hand the importance of being
a good role model.
We believe in offering our student leaders personal
development opportunities that enhance their skill set.
Junior School leaders take part in leadership classes at
Kilvington where they learn, among other skills, how to
collaborate instead of ‘being bossy’. Senior School leaders
attend a camp at Monash University for school captains
across Victoria.
The student leaders of 2013 acknowledge that
commitment and hard work have been required
when trying to ‘make a difference’. Ellen Massuger,
Kilvington’s other School Co-Captain, together with Alex
have organised activities during ‘Marvellous March’ and
‘Awesome August’, while Junior School student leaders
have assisted staff in implementing a Positive Play
approach.
Ellen is confident that the skills she has developed
through her role this year will stand her in good stead
in her life beyond School. James Puli, our other Junior
School Co-Captain, also recognises the benefits gained
from this opportunity. He reflects that his organisational
skills have improved.
Our Junior School and Senior School leaders have made
a significant contribution to the School this year, and the
community thanks them.

Productions
A Night Out with Peter Pan
With much anticipation and excitement, we were
treated to a magical rendition of the popular
classic ‘Peter Pan’ by our Prep to Year 4 students.
The performances delighted audiences over
two nights with stunning costumes, heartfelt
singing and wonderful stage sets and props.
There were some great individual performances,
including Harry Durrand as Peter Pan, Yeyoung
Song as Tinkerbell and pirates Smee and
Starkey played by Miles Nathan and William
Borrett. The quality of the show was enhanced
by a wonderful performance as Captain Hook by
Year 8 student, Jade Redman, who dazzled in
her great red coat.
Mulan
The beautiful story of ‘Mulan’ was brought to life
by the students of Years 5 and 6 on Thursday,
31 October. Putting on this production was a
wonderful experience and a great opportunity
for the whole of Years 5 and 6 to combine their
talents.
16 | KILVINGTON NEWS
The performance on the night was fantastic.
Thank you to our wonderful teachers for their
patience, efforts and guidance. ‘Mulan’ will be
remembered as one of the best Years 5 and 6
productions yet. There were great performances
on the night from Yejung Song as Mulan, Shaun
Thomas as Mushu and Joe Hosking as Cricket,
and James Puli, Georgia Morris and Emily
Burgoine as Mulan’s family members.
Anything Goes
The Senior School production this year was that
old classic, ‘Anything Goes’. An enthusiastic
audience was treated to a singing, acting
and dancing spectacular over three nights.
As always, the entire cast and crew worked
extremely hard to put on a fantastic show.
There were great performances from Lexie
Finnin as Reno Sweeney, Portia Subotsch as
Sir Evelyn Oakleigh, Georgia Bartlett as Billy
Crocker and Kate Short as Hope Harcourt, and
hilarious antics from Lydia Tesema as Erma
and James Tran as Moonface Martin.

& Highlights
Robotics Students Dance Their Way to Success
The Robotics Team impressed yet again with all
things robotic that can dance. Students built and
programmed a five-feet tall robot that grooved
to a choreographed piece, earning Kilvington
first place in the Senior Dance category in the
Victorian State Competition. The team then
finished fourth in the National Senior Dance
category and third in the Senior Dance Theatre
category.
The ‘90-year Kilvington Journey’ was shared
with the Assembly via a video that captured the
commitment and dedication of the many leaders
and communities involved in this great School
over the past nine decades. It can be viewed on
our website.
After Assembly, students from ELC to Year 12
received a delicious 90th birthday cupcake.
It truly was a special day. Happy Birthday,
Kilvington!
Happy 90th Birthday, Kilvington!
Vive La Nouvelle-Caledonie
All year we have honoured Kilvington’s 90th
Birthday. On Monday, 17 June, at our traditional
Foundation Day Assembly, we celebrated this
wonderful milestone as a School community.
The day commenced with students and teachers
being given a 90-year lapel pin with a request
to wear it to the Assembly, which opened with
a moving Candle Lighting Ritual by Ellen
Massuger, School Co-Captain, and James Puli,
Junior School Co-Captain. Supporting the
Assembly were performances by our Years 5
and 6 Choir and the Choristers.
This year, Kilvington held another New
Caledonia French language study tour. The trip
was designed to allow French students from
Years 9–12 to immerse themselves in French
language and culture at a destination closer to
home and to improve their French speaking,
listening and writing skills.
Professor Jayashri Kulkarni, our Chair of
the Board, reflected on Kilvington’s past and
provided a fascinating insight into what
happened in Australia and internationally
during the 1920s – the decade of Kilvington’s
establishment. She also spoke about our bright
future and the many opportunities available
to our students and encouraged them to strive
‘big’. Chaplain, Janet Costello, shared a message
that drew on our motto – ‘Not for our own, but
others’ good’ – and its relevance today.
Surina won a $400 cash prize, a medal and a trophy
to be held by Kilvington for the next 12 months.
K24 Community Challenge
This year saw the first-ever K24 Challenge at
Kilvington. Each House had students cycling
on a stationary spin bike for 24 hours, trying
to complete as many kilometres as possible.
Competitors included Staff and Parent teams, who
were also required to collect sponsorship money,
with all funds raised being donated to this year’s
World Vision 40-hour Famine Appeal.
The Parents’ team ended up cycling the most
kilometres, closely followed by Fysh House. In all,
$6,553.90 was raised, which will feed 13 families of
six for a year in Malawi. Congratulations to Fysh
House, which raised the most money!
Hiroshima Jogakuin Exchange Program
Our students hosted 20 Japanese students and
two of their teachers for two weeks as part of the
Hiroshima Jogakuin Exhange Program. During
their time with us, the students engaged in a range
of experiences that we hope enriched their stay
in Australia. They certainly enriched our School
community by singing their School song at our
Senior School Assembly, participating in classes
and enjoying an afternoon tea with lamingtons and
Tim Tams.
Choristers and Klefs rise to the occasion
At this year’s Royal South Street Eisteddfod in
Ballarat, the Kilvington Choristers competed in
two sections and were awarded 3rd place in the
Open Section and 2nd place in the Intermediate
Section. The Kilvington Klefs were awarded a
gold medal in the Standard Choir Section. These
results are fantastic because there were many
choirs competing, both junior and senior. Both
choirs sang beautifully and represented the School
magnificently.
Annual Concert
One of the highlights of the Kilvington Grammar
School calendar is the Annual Music Concert, which
was held this year on Friday, 30 August, at Robert
Blackwood Hall, Monash University. Many students
performed on the night, providing a program
that ranged from string ensembles, percussion
In all, $6,554 was raised, which will feed
13 families of six for a year in Malawi.
Over 10 days, students participated in 12 hours
of French classes held at CREIPAC, Noumea’s
French language school, took part in various
activities all over the city, and spent time with
their host families.
Student Wins Public Speaking Award
‘I love cooking, my family and my dog’. With
those words, Year 12 Student Surina Butler won
the Ainger Memorial Public Speaking Award, a
state public speaking competition. Surina’s firstplace-winning speech focused on the importance
of punctuation in society, and she spoke clearly,
confidently and with passion about her chosen
subject.

One of the highlights of the Japanese students’
visit was developing Peace Day presentations with
our Year 7 students. This involved writing peace
prayers and folding them into paper cranes that
have been taken back to Hiroshima Peace Park
in Japan. We also made sure they got to enjoy a
slice of Victorian tourism, with visits to Chadstone
Shopping Centre, Healesville, Eureka Tower and
the Vic Market.

award-winning choir, to name a few.
The depth of talent shown by the students was
impressive, and everyone who performed should
be congratulated on their hard work and for
sharing their talents and passion for making
music. Thank you to all staff, friends and family
who volunteered to help on the night and to all
family and friends who attended.
Table Tennis Grand Final Victory
Congratulations to our Senior Girls’ Table Tennis
Team who came from behind to snatch victory and
the title against Huntingtower in the EISM Grand
Final in a tense finish – 12 – 10. It was a great
team effort thanks to Emily Khoo, Yerin Song,
Riana Casey, Yejin Song, Maya Sekine, Eliza Clowe
and Fiona Gunasekera, with a special mention to
Ashwini Sakthiakumaran who scored on the day
and played or scored in previous rounds.
Basketball Grand Finalists – A Point to Prove
The Senior Girls’ Basketball Team had a wonderful
season, winning all but one of their preliminary
matches in the lead-up to the Grand Final against
Donvale. Our reliable and talented team of Maxine
Allan and Xinyi Chai from Year 12, Brooke Day,
Eliza Collister, Jascinta Santavanond, Lydia
Table Tennis Grand Finalists
Tesema and Georgia Bartlett from Year 11,
and Lucy Thompson, Lulu Bonning and Kana
Ishikawa from Year 10 claimed victory by the
narrowest of margins – 37 – 36 – to claim the
back-to back premiership.
Father’s Day Breakfast
More than 250 fathers and their children
enjoyed the Kilvington Father’s Day Breakfast
on 22 August – our highest attendance yet. The
highlight was the generous and open presentation
given by our guest speakers – high-profile sports
commentators, Tim and Samantha Lane. It was
surprising and touching to be given insight
into their relationship forged by tragedy and
challenges.
Year 11 and 12 Formal
The Year 11 and 12 Formal is a highlight on the
social calendar at Kilvington. This year, it was an
unforgettable night for everyone. All the ladies
looked stunning, and the boys and partners
looked very sophisticated. Particularly because it
was the last formal for the Year 12s, they had a
wonderful night and enjoyed every minute of it.
Lucky for the Year 11s – they get to do it all again
next year. The 2013 Formal will be one many will
never forget.

STEVE
BUSTIN
Moving countries, moving schools
and jobs, and delivering a baby – Steve
Bustin, the Academic Dean of PE and
Health at Kilvington, is up for all of
these challenges and more!
Steve didn’t intend to deliver his daughter, Willow,
at home eight months ago, but he had no choice.
Willow was determined to come, and nobody was
going to stop her! Steve and his wife, Jess, were
very relieved when an ambulance arrived six
minutes later, and the celebrations could start!
Steve joined the staff at Kilvington in January
this year, after having spent eight and a half
years at McKinnon Secondary College as Head
of PE and Sports. While he enjoyed his time at
McKinnon, he was looking for a new challenge
when he saw the job at Kilvington advertised. Part
of the attraction was the size of the school and the
exciting transition and development the School
was experiencing.
‘Part of the attraction
was the size of the School.’
Now Steve is loving his new job and values that
he gets the opportunity to know the students
individually. He’d love to see both the PE and
Sport programs at Kilvington continue to grow
and is excited by the thought that – one day soon
– there may be a Sports Gym at Kilvington! He’s
also looking forward to the 2014 K24 Challenge,
stating, ‘It was great to see so many members of the
Kilvington community – students, staff, parents
and local businesses – getting involved this year
and raising over $6,500 for World Vision. Such a
fantastic effort.’
24 | KILVINGTON NEWS
In his spare time, Steve enjoys time with his family
– wife, Jess, their three-year-old son, Freddie, and
baby Willow. He also loves his sport – cycling and
running, in particular – enjoys listening to music
and always gets a buzz from watching the English
cricket team – especially against Australia. For,
as most people realise when they meet Steve and
talk to him, he’s a Pom! He met Jess in the USA
while taking part in the Camp America summer
program, and then made the decision to move from
his home town of Northampton to Melbourne.
Steve gained his Australian Citizenship four years
ago, which he describes as an honourable and
worthwhile experience.
As Steve reflects on a great year, he makes it clear
that, although he always wanted to be a PE teacher,
he didn’t want to go straight to university. He was,
he says, sick of study and wanted to earn some
money and experience other challenges in life.
After spending two years working and travelling,
he decided that the time was right to fulfil his
ambition. So he spent four years at university
doing a combined degree to become a qualified PE
and Health teacher.
In a year crowded with firsts and new challenges,
Steve believes that it is important that we stop and
celebrate our achievements – regardless of how big
or small. And Steve is very happy to be celebrating
the year’s achievements with his family and his
colleagues and students at Kilvington.

SHARON
DONNELLAN
When Sharon Donnellan arrived last
year for an interview for the role of
ELC Coordinator at Kilvington, she
felt at home straightaway. As soon
as she walked through the door, she
knew she wanted to work here.
Here was the change Sharon had been looking
for. Sharon worked for the City of Casey, first as
a kindergarten teacher and then as the manager
of 40 kindergarten services, for 17 years. But it
was time to move on. Immediately, Sharon knew
that she had a connection with Kilvington – she
shares the values of showing respect and care for
our children, nurturing them and helping them to
reach their fullest potential.
‘Every day here
makes me smile.’
Val O’Bryan’s legacy and life work, and the
fundamental values and philosophies that are
the soul of the ELC, rang true for Sharon. She
knew that the work Val and the team had put in
place would, through her own beliefs and values,
continue to grow. Seeing her staff in tears the
Monday following Val’s passing was a challenging
situation, but she knew the dedication that Val and
the ELC team had for the Centre, together with her
passion for Early Childhood Education, would see
the ELC continue to be an amazing and wonderful
place for our children.
Although she trained as a primary school teacher,
Sharon has never worked as one. There was an
Early Childhood component in her degree, and
that’s where she saw herself working. Asked one
day by her daughter’s kinder to fill in, she accepted
the challenge and never looked back.
Now, Sharon’s new job at Kilvington has given
her back a renewed passion for Early Childhood
education. She feels privileged to be sharing the
start of the children’s journeys through life and
learning. ‘Every day here makes me smile,’ says
Sharon. ‘I’m so excited to be watching the children
grow and mature and get ready for their next big
challenge – school.’
In her spare time, Sharon cherishes being with
her three children – Kara, Keely and five-year-old
Kadyn. And, from next year, Kadyn will join his
mum at Kilvington as he will start Prep in 2014.
Football is also a big part of Sharon and her family’s
life. This year, she almost burst with pride as she
watched her 21-year-old daughter, Kara, take to
the field at the MCG as draft pick number 5 for
Melbourne in the first-ever AFL Women’s National
Draft. Of course, Kadyn was mascot and joined the
team in the dressing rooms and on the field!
So, celebration has been a big part of Sharon’s
year – celebrating her renewed energy and passion
for her job, celebrating all of the ELC children’s
achievements as they grow and develop, and
celebrating her own children’s success on and
off the football field. Sharon can’t wait till Kadyn
joins her next year at Kilvington – for, she’s sure,
he too will feel at home in the nurturing and safe
environment Kilvington offers all of its students
and staff.

30 Year Reunion
Thirty years goes by so fast, and
yet many remarked that no one
had changed a bit! Our 1983
Peer Year is a lively group and
insists that they are the best year
ever to come out of Kilvington.
It’s delightful to see that the
camaraderie continues.
25 Year Reunion
Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t
very pleasant on the evening of
the 25 Year Reunion. However,
the warmth of the atmosphere
more than made up for it. Our
former students were keen to
hear all about the transition to
coeducation!
Walsh Club
Kilvington’s magnificent rose gardens put on a fabulous
show on a beautiful spring day for the Walsh Club
Luncheon. Thanks to Kerrie Kelly for the delicious
mixed sandwiches and scones with jam and fresh
cream! After lunch, we visited the original Kilvington
schoolhouse on Walsh Street, where Katandra School
is now. We were thrilled to see that the building is still
mostly in original condition. The visit brought back
many memories. The School is fortunate to have such
strong connections to our Walsh Club members and the
insights into our history they share. Many thanks to
the staff at Katandra School for allowing us to visit.
20 Year Reunion
Approximately 25 past students
attended the 20 Year Reunion, and
when it comes to taking the group
photo,
everyone
immediately
remembered their position from
school days!
15 Year Reunion
A small year level in 1998 led to
a gathering of seven Kilvonians
for the 15 Year Reunion. It was a
fabulous evening, and the group
was thrilled to catch up with
past and present staff, including
Principal Jon Charlton who was
Chaplain in 1998.

Port Douglas – Holiday of Choice for KOGs Turning 70
Port Douglas was the holiday of choice for a group of
Kilvington Old Girls (KOGs) celebrating our milestone
70th birthdays! Highlights of the week were a trip to
the Outer Reef and a celebratory lunch for our combined
70th birthdays. A stroll through the Sunday market
followed by a Church service overlooking the water
rounded off a memorable and happy holiday.

PARENTS’ AND
FRIENDS’ REPORT
Kilvington’s birthday celebrations
have continued throughout the
second half of 2013. There is much
to celebrate about Kilvington’s
past and its future. Planning is
underway for new buildings and
greater curriculum choices, our
teachers and staff are wonderful
and we are lucky to have a strong
community connected through
shared goals and supported by
a dynamic PFA.
thanks to Gabby Dutton for organising another
wonderful event that was expertly planned and
ran smoothly!
Over the last six months, PFA volunteers have
put on some outstanding events. We marked the
School’s birthday on Foundation Day by making
over 700 cupcakes in our Food Technology
Centre. Thanks to the Baking Team, and thanks
especially to Kylie Brown for organising the ‘bakea-thon’! We fielded a Parents’ team in the firstever K24 Challenge, which covered an amazing
993 kilometres over the 24 hours to win by 15
kilometres! Thanks to all of our riders, especially
the dads, and a special thanks to, first, Bronwen
Roberts for organising and running the cake
stall and for staying the long hours as a rider
too, and secondly to Astrid Giezen, Deb Duce,
Leanne Doyle and Eleni Stamenos for helping out
with the snack stall and fundraising efforts. We
also hosted the Victorian Parents Council (VPC)
Networking Group Term 3 Meeting, which was
a great opportunity to invite parents from other
independent schools to visit our School. Thanks
to Marina Palaskas for organising the meeting
and liaising with the VPC.
Throughout the year, the Secondhand Uniform
Shop has grown in donations and steady sales,
and I would like to thank Louise Forti, Christina
O’Connor, Angie Yew and Kylie Brown for their
commitment to its success. The Secondhand
Uniform Shop held its first ‘Fire Sale’ of new
clothing at the beginning of Term 4, which raised
over $7000. Thanks to Belinda Collins, Deb Duce
and Nick Ryan from Bob Stewart for helping
with this sale.
This year, the Father’s Day Breakfast was an
outstanding success with a record 250 fathers
and children coming along to enjoy breakfast
and hear our guest speakers, Tim and Samantha
Lane. We were very lucky to have the Lanes speak
so candidly about their life and relationship. A big
Enjoy a wonderful Christmas and a relaxing
summer break, and I look forward to seeing you
at PFA events in 2014.
We held other events this semester that would
not have been possible without the support of our
fantastic PFA volunteers. There was the Junior
School Holiday Cooking Class ‘Cooking with
Eleni’ for Years 3 to 6 students. All of the profits
made were donated back to the Junior School.
Congratulations to Eleni for running a fabulous
fundraising event for the School. Our volunteers
also helped out at the Years 5 to 6 production of
‘Mulan’ and the Junior School Athletics Carnival,
both held in October.
I would like to thank the PFA executive of Lynne
Smith, Chris McCall, Leah Lemke and Kylie
Brown for their support, advice and dedication to
the PFA this year. The PFA Committee of Christina
O’Connor, Louise Forti, Kirsten Brooks, Marina
Palaskas, Kay Conser, Gabby Dutton, Claire
Hudson, Petra Hultqvist and Kim Wareham also
deserve a huge thank you. Their commitment,
ideas and collective effort have produced a very
successful year for the PFA.
It truly has been a great 90th year!
