OTGA President James Brown gives his update to the OTG community

Professor Michael Kidd AM (OTG 1977) is an academic, primary care researcher, educator and clinician. As well as his numerous other roles, he is the current Principal Medical Advisor and Deputy Chief Medical Officer with the Australian Government Department of Health, and Professor of Primary Care Reform at the Australian National University. He is also an Old Trinity Grammarian and a member of Trinity’s Gallery of Achievement. We are fortunate that he was able to speak to Sharon Kendall, Alumni and Community Relations Coordinator, during what may be the busiest time in his professional career.

As the OTG community continues to battle its way through the coronavirus pandemic, Seb Nicolosi catches up with OTGCC’s exalted former dictator President, Hugh Krantz (OTG 2009), who is currently studying abroad in France.

“There are a lot less musical opportunities made for you once you leave school, especially if you choose the pathway I took, to not actually study music. But I still absolutely love it, and it’s important to me to keep it as a big part of my life. I think you can have multiple passions in life, and you don’t necessarily have to focus 100% on just one of them.”

“One of the things I reflect on is figuring out what you want to do with your career is probably a case of trying a lot of different things, and ultimately deciding which one you enjoy most. Fortunately I was really happy with the change that I made, and now I’m pursuing a real passion of mine.”

OTGA Statement - Historical Child Sex Abuse

Learning Journeys plays a fundamentally formative role in fostering the culture of the Trinity community – one which cares deeply about the holistic growth of each boy as an individual. The conversations which are started by Learning Journeys are of great significance in our current-day society, especially to young men who may be going through challenges, be they emotional, social or personal. The program holds a very special place in the heart of many boys who have been through it, generations of whom return to the school to help pass on the lessons they learned from it.

“There was a time when my daughter was one year old and I was deployed to Afghanistan. When I came back, I was only home for about a week and a half before I had to go away again for a couple of months. So before I knew it, my daughter was already two, and I’d only spent a couple of months with her in that second year of her life. As many parents will know that is a great period in a child’s life, and my daughter and I will never get that time back together. You give up things. And I guess that’s what some people may not truly understand about service in the military. You give up certain aspects of your life, and freedoms that the rest of society takes for granted, for the greater good of the country. “
