Gentlemen
To celebrate the International Year of Languages, the Languages Department at CGS would like to set up a Hall of Fame display in the Canberra Grammar International Centre, dedicated to past students who use, or have used, a foreign language in their career or in their everyday life.
If you would like to participate, I would greatly appreciate if you could email me with details such as when you were a student at CGS, whether you studied a language at CGS or at university (or how you learnt the language) and how you use it in your line of work. If you could also provide us with a photo for the display, that would be fabulous.

'My recollection of the snowfall is that it was the first time I had ever seen snow, and was sitting in a science class absolutely enthralled with the process and paying no attention whatsoever to the class.The teacher, as I recall, was a Miss Medvick, from the USA (I think Cornell University), and she asked me what I was doing. I gave the honest answer that I was watching the snow fall. She commented that anyone would think I had never seen snow fall before.Given that she was from the New York area, and I was from a sheep property in western NSW, she was somewhat bemused when I told her I hadn't! She then asked if anyone else had not seen snow fall and my two very good friends Aiden and Francis, from Papua, New Guinea, signalled accordingly.
To her everlasting credit and why I remember her fondly, she stopped the class (perhaps redirected it might be kinder), and we all departed for the oval where we made snowmen (very poor ones) and threw snowballs.
There was at that time a rule that any window broken through misadventure would immediately draw two 'cuts' of the cane. I don't know who was more embarrassed, Mr Tyrrel or me when I lined up. Another lesson learnt:snowballs can break windows!'
