News Bulletin #1. January 2012 Old Haileyburians 

The OHA is saddened by the passing today of Old Haileyburian and former staff member, Adam Wild (’92). Adam was an outstanding teacher at Haileybury and a much loved former student. He leaves behind a wife and three children. Our deepest sympathies are extended to his family and in particular his father, Dr. Lyndon Wild, also a former member of staff at Haileybury.  

Congratulations to Paul (’95) and Carissa Langford Jones whose first daughter arrived in the world recently. Taylor came in weighing 8lbs with mother and daughter both doing well - with Paul being very pleased and proud. 

The Haileybury community continues to expand with news coming from the Old Dart that Andrew Jenke (’98) become a father for the first time on the 27th of December. Daughter Charlotte, mother and proud grandparents are all doing well.  

Congratulations to Don Lord (’61) who was honoured with Life Membership of the Richmond Football Club in December after 10 years as a Director. 

We are pleased to report that Robert Pollock (OH ’66) has received an Australia Day award with a Medal (OAM) of the Order of Australia in the General Division for service to tourism and to the community of southern New South Wales. Robert has been a Councillor with the Eurobodalla Shire Council since 1987 and was Deputy Mayor for 10 years. He has been Chairman of the South Coast Regional Tourism Association since 1997 and has been a Board Member of the Tourism Industry Council of New South Wales since 2008. Robert was also a successful restaurateur in Bodalla and Batemans Bay for 20 years between 1983 and 2003. Regional Australian Minister Simon Crean congratulated Rob on this rare honour. “Rob’s knowledge of tourism, combined with his work in local government and as a successful restaurateur, have made him a leader in his community.” 

Paul Hameister (’87) is delighted to announce that his documentary “Everest the Promise” has just won its first award - the Sir Edmund Hillary Award for Best Documentary at the 2012 Mountain Film Awards in USA.

 100% of Paul’s profits from the commercial sale of the documentary worldwide will be used to continue the educational scholarship for 90 Nepalese “at risk” children, for which Paul has already raised around $30,000 from his Everest climb. Refer www.scai.org.au for more details.

Senior Vice Principal, Craig Glass. 

Haileybury’s Senior Vice Principal (Education), Craig Glass suffered a serious accident when out bike riding with colleagues from Haileybury on Sunday 20 November. Craig was travelling at around 50 km/hr when he collided with a van just outside of Frankston. He has suffered multiple fractures to both hands, his shoulder and collarbone. He is in rehabilitation at the moment. Our best wishes go out to Craig for a speedy recovery. 

The dangers of bike riding in Melbourne were further highlighted when The Age ran a picture of past student, James Cross on its front page on 26 November. James tragically died when knocked off his bike in Camberwell, early in 2010. James’ mother, Dr. Nicky Martin has been running a strong campaign on bike safety on Melbourne’s roads since the tragic loss of James. We urge all members of the Haileybury community to be safe over the summer break.

 CONGRATULATIONS

VALE

 Ken Allison (OH ’64)

The Old Haileyburians Association is extremely saddened by the passing of Ken Allison after a long battle with cancer. Our thoughts are with his wife, Robyn and family.

Ken was a father figure of the Old Haileybury Football Club. He was President on two occasions - 1978-80 and 1988-90 and was awarded Honorary Life Membership of the Club in 1984. He was named as President of the OHAFC Team of the Century.

"Play Harder" - the 50 year history of the OHAFC states that Ken "created a clear vision for the club of reaching A Grade and maintaining that standard."

Ken maintained a close association with the Club right up until this season and was a passionate Old Haileyburian who had a wonderful network of friends through our community.


OHA CLUBS 

OHA Hockey T

he OHA Hockey Club have defeated Old Melburnians to claim the State League 5 title, therefore gaining promotion to State League 4 in 2012.

It was a very hard game! We were 2-0 up after about 20 minutes, which was a great lead. At half time, however, the score was 2-1, as Old Melburnians were attacking hard and we had to grimly defend! That remained the score throughout the second half, until Old Melb scored again in the very last minute of regular time from yet another short corner! That was a heavy blow, meaning that we then had to play up to 15 minutes of extra time, but with a goal scored in extra time deciding the match – the golden goal rule. After a couple of minutes of extra-time defence, we had some attack and produced a scrambled goal! That was about 55 minutes after we had scored our second goal, so it was a super effort from our forwards to get one so quickly in extra time! So the final score was 3-2 in our favour.
 

Congratulations to coach Jon Blackman and President Clark Anstis on this exceptional achievement! 

OHA Football 

It is with great pleasure that we announce that Tom Chisholm (OH 2004) has won the 2011 Seniors Best and Fairest award - The T.E.K Fisher Trophy."Chis" had a great year and was a consistent vote winner throughout finishing with 28 votes. His dash off the half back line, and intensity at the football obviously pleased the voters. He has developed into one of the side's key players and this caps off a fine comeback from a series of niggling injuries. Chis managed to hold off a fast finishing Brett Voss who fell one short with 27. Corey Millard (OH 2009) came in third another vote away. Jarrod McLauchlan (OH 2002) took out his second Reserves Best and Fairest - the President's Trophy. "Jazz" was probably the opposite to Chis as he didn't play as many games, but invariably polled well when he did, scoring 25 votes. He played a number of games where his physical presence was noticeable and he was able to exert his influence on the game. Matthew Ditchfield (OH 2007) was Runner Up. The U/19s award - the T.M Lyon Trophy - was taken out by Luke Pinot (OH 2010) with 56 votes. Luke was a clear winner from Sam Hall (OH 2010) who polled 34 votes. This was probably no great surprise as Luke had a fantastic year, racking up possessions and goals and really enjoying his football.His determination and enthusiasm was infectious.
