Two recent Senior Students, Harry Marples (2007-2010, L) and (Hamish King 2006-2009, R) caught up on their respective study abroad programs. Hamish, detouring from Glasgow, is seen here with Harry ‘over the Rideau canal looking onto the Ottawa River between the Parliament buildings and Chateau Laurier’.
Thanks to the Warden for a delightful staff effort in helping their building appeal function happen here.

Paloma Grace Lenard Milne was Christened in the College Chapel Sunday 29 January. Paloma is the daughter of Hamish Milne and Zoe Lenard, whose marriage the Warden celbrated in the same Chapel in 2004. Godparents were Gerard Hurst and Nicola Lovejoy, and it was a 'Perth special' since the baptismal party now hails from the West and the Warden himself is a Perth boy.Zoe runs a significant veterinary practice in that fair city. Hamish was Sub Warden for some years, following his student residency,and was also Assistant Business Manager when the Albert Wing was built. He is now a principal lay officer in the Dicoese of Perth. Gerard was a contemporary of Hamish in College. The Warden remembers Gerry as a highly motivated 'old man of College' who led the swim team to an amazing Rawson win in one of the Sydney pools then in use for Rawson. That was the season when the team all had name-embroiderd, maroon toweling dressing gowns and the comp was won by a one hand touch in the final relay.
In a smaller pool, set aside for a holy purpose, Paloma was Christened as her parents and Godparents presented her for this pathway. David Drury the Director of Music for the occasion celebrates his 20th year in College this year, and the Christening was full of 'twenty year men' - none of whom other than David have reached that milestone 'in residence'. Paulines all!
The service was followed by a unique brunch in Hall and cloisters in which the forty or fifty children below table-height had a great time with fairy bread and face-painting and tree-climbing in the Quad while the now oldies enjoyed a fine mix of food and beverages courtesy of our friends in Sodexo.
Ivan Head, Warden.

The Warden recently met with some of the 'best and brightest' Paulines studying post-graduate degrees abroad to discuss the imminent St. Paul's Graduate House.

The St Paul’s College Symposiums are day-and-evening gatherings held in the Junior Common Room towards the end of each year. Their subject matter is broadly theological, within the context of the history and current concerns of English-speaking Christianity. The symposiums continue the rich and long-standing contribiution of the College to Christian scholarship in Australia.
The third St Paul's College Symposium, 30 November 2011, had the title, "Bounden to Say: The Book of Common Prayer, Now and Then". Its focus was the Book of Common Prayer - the 350th anniversary of its publication falls in 2012. It is a popular topic and there was an attendance of about 50. The day opened with an address by Dr Christoper Haig, late of Christ Church Oxford, on "”Introducing the Prayer Book in 1552 and 1662”, and it ended after dinner with the annual Cable lecture (in honour of the late Dr Ken Cable), given by the Revd Dr Michael Jensen, with the title, “’Humble and Hearty Thanks': Some Reflections on the Book of Common Prayer and the Lost Art of Thanksgiving”. There were six other speakers, including the Revd Dr Brian Douglas, a Fellow of the College, and the Revd Canon Colleen O'Reilly, who very kindly came from Melbourne (St George's Malvern) to speak on “Worlds Apart? Marriage and Funerals in 1662 and 1995”. The afternoon featured three talks by scholars from the University of Newcastle, led by Professor John McDowell, who has spoken at all three St Paul's College Symposiums.
We were also very glad indeed to be able to display various English prayer books, going back to Edward VI's Prayer Book of 1549, and including the 1662 BCP, on loan from Moore College, courtesy of Mr Kim Robinson, their keeper.
College notes with pleasure the latest successes in world debating of Paulines Stephen Hind, Tim Mooney, amongst others, and wishes every success to debaters in the forthcoming intercollegiate 'seedbed' competition within the Palladian Cup 2012

At the inaugural conference of the AGS help at St Paul's College in September, 2011, Associate Professor the Rev. Scott Cowdell spoke with Eureka Street about the bold nature of Girard’s mimetic theory that makes Girard like “The ‘Charles Darwin’ of the Human Sciences” and the interview is presented below.
