Development Foundation Newsletter Issue 2

Earlier this year the Sacred Heart College Development Foundation launched this special e-mail newsletter which aims to provide current news and information about Old Boys, reunions, special College occasions, Development Foundation projects and plenty more good reasons for everyone to take more interest in Sacred Heart College. In this issue of SHConnect we meet 4 Old Boys who share an important public office, talk to an Old Boy making his mark in the world of music, get a glimpse of two recent OB weddings, meet an award winning OB journalist and catch-up on all the end of year news from the College – and lots more. Read on and welcome to the second issue of SHConnect.

Our second Old Boys Guest Columnist is Anand Satyanand (‘62) and with his help we discover the unique relationship between four Old Boys and the Office of the Ombudsman.

It will be generally known that New Zealand was the first English speaking country to adopt the Scandinavian notion of having an Ombudsman. The New Zealand Parliament voted to do so in 1962 in a

move that has come to be followed in many parts elsewhere and the world-wide number of such offices today is about 200. An Ombudsman office provides citizens with an avenue for redress when a government organisation has done something administratively which is unfair or wrong and where it is neither appropriate nor available for the person to go to the Courts or through other official channels. Additionally, New Zealand is a country where there is freedom of information and when there is a dispute about access to information held by a government organisation, this goes to an Ombudsman for review.

By the end of 2004 some 6000 people will have brought a case to the New Zealand Office either for some grievance or information issue or to make what is called a protected disclosure under our whistleblower legislation.

The first New Zealand Ombudsman was Sir Guy Powles, a former diplomat and civil servant. Since Powles there have been 10 subsequent holders of office, each generally serving for five year terms.

A unique chemistry has existed during the past 12 months with two of the three current Ombudsmen being SHC Old Boys and there being two other SHC Old Boys working in specialised roles on the office staff.

• Anand Satyanand (’62) was, after leaving the College and studying at Auckland University, a lawyer practising in Auckland and then a Judge who sat in Palmerston North and Auckland for about 12 years following appointment in 1982. In 1995 he was asked to take on a five year role as an Ombudsman which he did and which was renewed by Parliament in 2000. He has elected to leave after 10 years in order to contemplate a fourth career. He describes the Ombudsman work as providing very high levels of job satisfaction being involved with resolving complaints and influencing events in a positive direction and has enjoyed being connected with work affecting what he calls the ordinary working government departments – Social Welfare, Prisons, Education, Inland Revenue, Police etc. He describes the Ombudsman work as a good antidote to being a Judge for many years – as a Judge one has a set jurisdiction and a small number of powers, whereas as an Ombudsman one has unlimited jurisdiction and no powers other than persuasion.

• John Belgrave (’56) joined the Office last year, 2003, being appointed the Chief Ombudsman in July. John is a long time bureaucrat, who has worked extensively in a number of government agencies both in New Zealand and overseas. He reflects that his experiences in a number of Government departments where some of his decisions were from time to time reviewed by the Ombudsmen of the day showed just how citizens can feel disempowered by the sheer weight of government agencies. While agencies generally have complaint procedures in place it can sometimes nevertheless be a daunting task to track through the maze of departmental processes. In this situation an Ombudsman can often quickly get to the heart of an issue. John said that quite often when he had to respond to an Ombudsman investigation a citizen’s complaint might be satisfied reasonably easily with goodwill on both sides. The trick from the point of view of the department was to take the Ombudsman seriously and to think laterally in looking for solutions. Often complaints could be satisfied within normal procedural/policy guidelines provided a will exists to settle the issue.

Since the millennium, the Ombudsman office has also seen the contribution of two other SHC Old Boys - Garry O’Donovan (’57) and Gerald Davis (’56).

• After leaving school, Garry graduated in Chemistry from Auckland University and worked as a research chemist in Melbourne for three years before returning to New Zealand to work in the polytechnic sector for over 30 years, first as a lecturer and then as an administrator. Garry specialises in complaints from the tertiary education sector.

• Gerald, a chartered accountant, worked in the Inland Revenue Department for about 20 years. He also worked for a number of years overseas with the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department and the Papua New Guinea Taxation Office. Before deciding to come to the Ombudsmen and work on a diet of the difficult tax cases which people provide for unravelling, Gerald had been with a national chartered accountancy firm.

Whilst not an everyday matter of mention in their daily working existence, the SHC connection is something about which pleasure is expressed when the College is seen to do well on the sporting field, or when an event such as the Centennial occurs. The community of interest also comes to be shared in more sombre fashion when news of illness or worse comes to be registered.

Sacred Heart College has always been well known for its musicians and this Old Boy continues the tradition.

Joe Harrop (’94) played or sang at every Walter Kirby music competition during his time at the College – except for 1990 when he had a broken wrist !

Since obtaining a Bachelor of Music at Auckland University in 1997 Joe has been a casual member of the NZ Symphony Orchestra (from age 18), the concert master of the NZ Youth and Aotea Youth Orchestras and a soloist (violin) with the Auckland Youth, Aotea Youth and Auckland University Orchestras.
In 1997-98 Joe travelled to study at the Negri Violin School in Lubeck, Germany before obtaining his Master of Music at the Royal Academy of Music in London in 2000.

He is presently completing a PhD in Performance Practice as well as a research fellow at the Royal Academy of Music in London. His research concerns the string quartet, particularly the performance practice of the second violin. He has performed solo and chamber music recitals in London and across the UK and Europe – even in Estonia! Not content to playing modern violins he also plays baroque instruments and leads the Montague string quartet. For light relief Joe occasionally gigs in an Irish band called ‘Licence to Ceiledh’. He loves performing different types of music but equally loves the rigorous scholarship that any kind of informed performance requires.

Joe lives in Fulham, on the Thames, and enjoys all good music and never misses an All Black game on TV. SHConnect congratulates him on his recent engagement to Nicola Sims, an Auckland girl. The couple are planning to marry in the SHC chapel late next year.

There is a lot happening at the SHC Development Foundation Trust

• The Annual Giving Appeal was well supported this year and raised over $8,500 for projects that could not be budgeted by the College. The two most supported projects were the computer assisted literacy programme and the provision of extra sports equipment.
  
  
• The Centenary Appeal projects are now almost complete. The Centenary Square needs $25,000 to balance the books and the Marist Scholarship Fund stands at $110,000 and growing. The interest from this fund will provide scholarships for the benefit of future students. Additionally, the Foundation was fortunate to receive generous support from the Mt Wellington Charitable Trust in the form of funding to support 7 scholarships with a total value of over $70,000.
  
  
• A plaque on the basalt wall of the Centenary Square acknowledging the Centenary project’s major donors was recently unveiled by Br Richard Dunleavy at a donor function.
  
  

• New chairman Steve Ulenberg (left) with retiring chairman Paul Gleeson

  A function was recently organised for Old Boys who left between 1943 and 1949. A group of 15 Old Boys were invited to the College to meet old friends and tour the College facilities. This is the second such function and more are planned.
  
  
• Continuous promotion of the Bequest programme has encouraged Old Boys and Friends of the College to consider the College in their wills. During the year one bequest was received.
  
  
• Paul Gleeson a trustee and chairman of the Foundation for over 10 years recently announced his retirement and current SHC parent and Old Boy Steve Ulenberg (’74) was elected as the new chairman.
  

Finally, a reminder that as a result of the recent capital projects the College currently has a debt of over $7 million and needs continuing support from parents, Old Boys, past parents and friends. There are many ways to make a gift:

Creating a Scholarship in your own, your son’s or other family member’s name is easy. An Annual or Endowment scholarship could make it possible for a student who might not have been able to attend the College to have the benefit of a Sacred Heart College education.

Landmark Gifts – memorials that include, but are not limited to, the Centenary Square, seats in the College grounds, books for the library, works of art, or trees.

Leave a Legacy – make provision in your Will for an investment in education and the future of SHC. Leaving a bequest is a simple procedure that allows Old Boys, Parents and friends of the College the opportunity to leave ongoing support for the College in their name.

Matches

Here is an opportunity for Old Boys to share their wedding news with the whole SHC community. Just email us a photo with just email us a photo with a caption and we will do the rest shcdf@sacredheart.school.nz

This ‘Matches’ features two recent weddings:

Jacob Dunningham (‘91) married Catherine Heffernan on 31st July of this year at the Church of the Holy Spirit in Cork, Ireland and the reception was held at the Lodge and Spa at Inchydoney in West County Cork. Jacob's bestman was his brother Matthew (‘89) and his other groomsmen were Justin Ryan (‘91) and Simon Epstein.

Afterwards the couple honeymooned in the Loire Valley, France. Catherine and Jacob both work at the University of Oxford in the UK. Jacob is a research fellow in the Department of Physics and Catherine is a post doctoral researcher and specialist trainee in Public Health.

Matthew Wylie (‘89) and Vaulette Mathews were married on 4th December of this year at the College Chapel. Matt’s “best men” were his brother Greg (‘91) and Craig Smith (‘89) and his groomsmen were his cousin Dean Probyn and friends Dave Lewis and Fletcher McKenzie (who is also his business partner). The celebrant was Matt’s great uncle, Fr. Bernard Hehir who is an old boy of the former Marist High School in Palmerston North. His younger brothers Andrew (‘00) and Liam Wylie (‘02) were ushers. Several of the guests were old boys. Matt is the nephew of Mark Wylie, a teacher at the College.

Where are they now ?

And where are you now ? Calling all Old Boys and former staff members. What have you been getting up to since leaving SHC ? Why not let us know what has been happening to you since you left the College.

Please get in touch by emailing your news to Lyn Luxton – shcdf@sacredheart.school.nz

Our first ‘Where are they now’ features Br Lawrence Bennett (’29) who has been a Marist Brother for 70 years. Read on ….

Br Lawrence was born in 1915 in Grey Lynn. He was one of 6 children - 3 older brothers, all who became priests, and 2 sisters, one became a nun, the other married.

The family lived next door to the Grey Lynn church and convent school where he received his primary education.

In 1929 Br Lawrence attended SHC, Richmond Road, the fourth member of the Bennett family to do so after his brothers Father Alf, Father Frank, and Father Bernard.

How did Br Lawrence become a Marist Brother? During his year in form 3A several boys in his class, including he and his best friend (who had also attended the same primary school), were called to an interview with a view to finding out if they had a vocation and should continue their education at the Juniorate at Tuakau. After the interview Br Lawrence asked his best friend if he was going, and on getting an affirmative answer decided that he would too.
He was attracted by the thought of living in the countryside having been on a picnic to the Tuakau property on an earlier occasion. He gained the blessing of his parents, everything was organized and he journeyed to Tuakau to begin boarding. On arrival he discovered his best friend had not turned up. “The Holy Spirit works in mysterious ways” says Br Lawrence. His friend was subsequently posted to North Africa where he was killed in action.

Br Lawrence studied for 4 years at Tuakau, and then went to the Novitiate in Claremont, Timaru where he received the Habit and the name Lawrence, in 1934, 70 years ago.

Over the years he has taught in Timaru, Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland, the longest period being at St Peters Maori College for 26 years.

The Bennett family had a holiday home in Tairua, where his brother Fr Frank took up residence on his retirement. With assistance from Br Lawrence, he designed the current church in Tairua. Br Lawrence carved the Stations of the Cross for this church, using wood from the old kauri pews from the original old church.

Asked what his best memories were he replied “All the years have been good years in community life with the Brothers.”

Our second ‘Where is they now’ subject is Peter Montague (’60). Lets leave Peter to tell us in his own words where he is now and how he got there ……

In 1965 I came to Wellington.

In those days I worked for the BNZ and I rather misguidedly requested a transfer from Te Aroha, my home town, where I had joined the bank upon leaving College in 1960. At that time the bank cycled everyone through Wellington at some stage of their career. I thought I would get it over and done with – unfortunately I have never been able to leave.

Shortly after I arrived I was given the opportunity to become involved in the bank’s start-up venture into computerization. Once all banks became interested in automating their operations Databank Systems Limited was formed and I took up permanent employment with that company.

By the early 90’s as General Manager Operations I headed Databank’s New Zealand–wide network of 20 computer centres and some 1700 staff before resigning in 1993. Since then I have quite deliberately had a number of generally part time roles and currently I am working at the Catholic Centre in Ashley Hayes’ CDF unit 3 days a week. Ashley and I were good friends at school (he was my tipster) and we still enjoy chatting about horses.

In my early Wellington days I joined the Marist club and have retained an interest in its fortunes over the years. I played junior rep rugby for Wellington in 1967 and the following year was in Marist’s premier side playing alongside former greats such as Paul Russo and Pat O’Donnell. Unfortunately work priorities meant I had to hang up my boots at 25.

In recent years I have taken up walking and completed several half marathons with a best time of 2 hours 40 mins.

When I lived in Te Aroha the Hauraki Plains had a strong Old Boys group and along with Jim Shallue and Joe Mace I looked forward to reunions somewhere in the Thames Valley. Attending annual ‘get-togethers’ has carried on in Wellington. The Capital’s reunion has had a very loyal group of attendees and although we often only see each other at the reunion, friendships made at College all those years ago go endure and go from strength to strength.

Over the years the local SHCOBA group has been fortunate in having publicans such as the Coltmans (father then son) of Grand Hotel fame in Willis Street and Zuke Marinkovich of O'Reillys of Thorndon Quay who have been only too willing to host reunions at their premises. We have also been particularly lucky having men such as Sam Dunn and currently John Irwin to organise the events each year.

So that, in a nut shell , is how one of Brother Stephen’s “low pressure group” members has spent the last 41 years. Fortunately there are several others here in Wellington (Gill, Griffin, Walls etc) and the annual reunion gives us opportunity to ease the stigma for the coming year.

From Professional rugby to sports writing.

Congratulations to Campbell Burnes (’91) who was recently named as the NZ Herald DJ Cameron Young Sports Writer of the Year at the annual NZ Media Awards Dinner.

After attending Auckland University, Campbell obtained a BA and then ultimately an MA (majoring in Ancient History). He then played professional rugby in France for two years which was followed by the completion of the Journalism Diploma Course. His first journalism appointment was with the Western Leader where he remained until earlier this year prior to his departure overseas for what he hoped would be an opportunity to visit new and exciting places mixed with journalistic work in the UK.

All that changed recently when Campbell was offered and accepted a position at Rugby News and he will return home prior to Christmas (to be with his parents Janet and Bob Burnes (‘57)) before taking up the new job in January. Well done Campbell!

Kelsen Butler (‘83) - boarding and the perfect jobs in sport.

When I sat down to respond to the invitation from SHConnect to write about ‘what I’m up to now’ I found it’s still very easy for me to speak with affection about the great days I had at Sacred Heart and the enduring friendships that were made.

Kelsen Butler with eldest son Mitchell and another Old Boy, Nili Latu, after the BOP vs Auckland match

For someone keen on his sport Sacred Heart was also a sporting mecca……it could even be likened to a sporting Club Med for teenagers! As soon as the 3.00pm bell went the boarders were down at the tennis courts or the cricket nets, playing touch or bullrush on the top field or seeing who could slide the farthest on the wet gym floor (in the early 80’s the old gym had a few holes in the roof!). So Sacred Heart more than nurtured my love of sport.

And it was Sacred Heart connections that gave me my career breaks. When I finished my Bachelor of Management Studies at Waikato University my first sports marketing role was at the Institute of Sport & Corporate Health. Bill Abraham – long time supporter of the college and father of Dean, Tony and Gavin – introduced me to the directors of the company. In the late 80’s and early 90’s the Institute was the place renowned for its sports fitness programming – the All Blacks, Auckland Rugby, NZ Cricket and the late Sir Peter Blake and his Steinlager crew used the Institute for fitness assessment and training. To say that it was an inspiring place to work would be an understatement!

In 1995 I became Sport Marketing Manager at TVNZ. The head of TVNZ Sales & Marketing at the time was SHC old boy Des Brennan. I’d met Des at an old boy reunion a few years previously, the second time I met him was the final interview for the Sports Marketing position. During my five years at TVNZ I had the fortune of working on a number of great sporting properties – Atlanta and Sydney Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, the ‘95 and ‘99 Rugby World Cups, Netball World Champs, the introduction of Super 12 as well as being TVNZ’s representative on the Team New Zealand marketing committee for the 2000 America’s Cup. All great stuff – a job like that made it easy getting out of bed in the mornings.

With business partners Phill Leishman and Jeff Latch, we now have our own sports television and events company – Sportsinc. We make the ING Golf programmes for Sky Sport and TV3 and produced the ‘Road to Athens’ documentary series for TV ONE this year, plus a series called Action Replay hosted by Tony Veitch. We also produce two international golf programmes which play throughout Asia on ESPN Star Sport, Fox Sports in the Middle East and The Golf Channel in Japan. To put it in perspective our international programmes reach 65 million households. Phill is a big name in Mumbai, Shangai and Tokyo! For the past four years we have also run a Celebrity Ryder Cup golf event for Caltex in Singapore – sports celebs such as Joel Stransky, Jake White, Gary Kirsten, Kevin Curren, Darren Gough, Jeremy Guscott, Hamish Carter, Dean Barker, John Hart and our own Sean Fitzpatrick have all played in the event. (For the record Sean hits a golf ball further than he used to hit a cricket ball playing for the 1st XI……and that was a hell of a long way!)

I took special pride this year in recording a bit of rugby history with our ‘Up for the Challenge’ documentary. It was a spur of the moment decision to follow Bay of Plenty, the old home province, pre, during and post their historic Ranfurly Shield win. An awesome few days made even more memorable by old boy Nili Latu playing an outstanding game at openside for the victorious BOP team.

The sporting passion has also allowed me to keep involved with Sacred Heart, especially last year during the centenary celebrations. I helped put together the SHC 1st XV of the Century concept and the SHC Sporting Legends dinner. The latter was a memorable occasion with the college’s greatest sportsmen acknowledged. Many of those faces I’d idolised in photos on the dining room wall were present – Terry Lineen, Pat Walsh, Paul MacDonald, Cyril Sneddon, and Percy Erceg. Even relatives of the great Brownlie brothers – Cyril, Maurice and Laurence made it to the Legends Dinner. To me though the greatest tribute the dinner had was Dave Morgan flying back from France to receive his 1st XV of the Century jersey – that gesture certainly symbolized the immense pride old boys have in Sacred Heart.

Sacred Heart has been more than a school for me. The five formative years I spent there were fantastic, and I know, like many of you reading this article, that you continue singing the college’s praises long after you leave. And as for the third form boarders of 1979 – we’ll were all getting together with our wives to celebrate our 40th birthdays in 2005…..and I’m sure there’ll be a toast or three to SHC!

A Letter from America.

For 58 years Alistair Cook presented the world’s longest running speech radio programme, ‘Letter from America’. SHConnect now has its own unique version with this contribution from Duncan McGillivray (‘94)

It is almost exactly ten years now since my last exam at Sacred Heart (Latin, always on the last day). Essentially, I have not left University since then. I am now up to my fourth university in my fourth country, and I’ve picked up four degrees on the way, and seen a fair bit in between. I started in Auckland, split between Latin and Chemistry, which is not as mixed up as it sounds. When you’re stuck in a lab trying to make yet another white powder the thought of reading in the sun drinking coffee in the old houses of the Classics department (now destroyed I think) is kind of appealing, while too long in the library makes you want to do something.

Then it was off to Australia for two years, working at the Australian National University in Canberra, having finally made up my mind to go with being a scientist. Canberra has a terrible reputation for not being the most exciting place in the world, but it was close to the only halfway decent skiing area in Australia (literally halfway decent, but beggars can’t be choosers) and it is one of the best-funded universities in Australasia, which makes a difference. And the café scene was very good. It was also there that I got involved in what I have been doing ever since – using neutrons and x-rays to study surfaces.

One of the downsides of this research (or upsides) is that you must travel to the major facilities that produce x-ray and neutron beams. From Australia this meant travelling to the UK, where I got a chance to visit Oxford University, which is right next to one of the two most intense neutron sources in the world (the other is in the south of France). Being right next door to the neutrons, and incidentally Europe, was pretty appealing, and so when I got back to Australia I sat down and started writing scholarship applications to fund a PhD in the UK.

That led somehow, and it is all still a little hazy to me exactly how, to winning a Rhodes scholarship. I do remember that it involved being grilled in November by a panel of eminent people headed by the Governor-General, in front of a roaring fire because it was near freezing outside (Wellington being Wellington). But what they asked me, and what I said in reply, I have no clue. Must have worked anyhow, because I matriculated in Oxford in October 2000.

Matriculation, which is to say enrolment, (getting dressed in gowns and being spoken to in Latin for a while, much more fun than standing in queues at Auckland ever was) was only the beginning of the Oxford experience. The rest was a curious mixture of 1000 year old traditions and modern research university – teaching quantum chemistry and then dining at High Table and passing the port only ever to the left. The best part of the whole experience was meeting top people in all fields from all over the world, many interesting conversations - and then going off and punting or playing croquet. Sometimes it all felt a little like Alice in Wonderland. But with an exceptional range of pubs, where I developed my taste for warm, flat beer.

Of course there were also many opportunities to travel round Europe, and although I didn’t manage to clock up anywhere near as many stamps in my passport as some of my more dedicated friends in London did, I still got around a bit. Some of the highlights included travelling round Slovenia with a friend and learning how to say “two beers”, “two rooms”, “two tickets” but never learning the word for “one”, or travelling to Paris to watch the All Blacks take down France in the Stade de France in front of 80 000 chanting Frenchmen.

This was all overlaid by a thin veneer of the truly surreal Rhodes scholar in Oxford story, which has given me enough name-dropping experiences to last a lifetime: watching the Colombian president giving cigars to beautiful women in front of the American Surgeon General, meeting President Clinton, then Bono from U2, travelling to South Africa where we had dinner with Mandela and finishing up with tea with the Queen in Buckingham Palace, for just some of the tale.

Of course I got some work done as well, and finished my D.Phil. (PhD anywhere else, but Oxford must be different) this time last year (“Near-surface phases of di-chain cationic surfactants”), then took a couple of months off for a southern hemisphere summer to recover from the grey hairs the final write-up had given me, before starting my current job.

I am now a post-doctoral researcher for Johns Hopkins University, working in the Center for Neutron Research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology near Washington DC. Here I split my time between looking around the States, wondering a little bit about what the Department of Homeland Security is doing with my email, and researching synthetic cell-membrane mimics tethered to gold-coated silicon surfaces. I’ll be here for at least one more year, and then I’ve got no idea where next, but who needs planning in their life?
