From student life and traditions, to sports, cultu

From student life and traditions, to sports, culture, our people and iconic campus, there are no shortage of stories which make up the rich fabric of our Ormond community. Now, we have a place to share them, and we're thrilled to launch our new Ormond 140 website, in celebration of the College's 140th anniversary this year. We know every Ormondians has their own unique story to tell, so take a look at the site, immerse yourself in the stories and maybe even submit one yourself!

Discover more and share your own Ormond story via the link in our bio 👉

With the Tokyo Olympics about to open, we're takin

With the Tokyo Olympics about to open, we're taking a look back at some of the Ormondians who have taken their sport to the highest level. There have been plenty of success stories, with the College even playing a role in kickstarting some of these athletes' careers. Let the Games begin 🕊

1. A scholar, actor and athlete, Charles Green (1943) appeared in the College play before going on to compete in hurdles at the 1948 London Games. He later completed his PhD and became a distinguished pathologist.  
2. Michael McLean was a 25-year-old surveyor on a construction site when an excavation collapse severed his spinal cord. He later became a champion sonar class yacht sailor, including being ranked #13th in the world able-bodied rankings and winning a gold medal at the Sydney 2000 Paralympics.

3. Robyn Selby Smith (1999) took up rowing in her first year at Ormond, thinking that it ‘looked like it would be fun.’ Six years later she was a double world champion. She spearheaded a successful campaign through the Australian Olympic Committee, tribunals, the Senate and the media to get Rowing Australia to send a women’s eight as well as a men’s to the London Olympics in 2012.

4. Phoebe Stanley overcame a heart condition to race in London 2012 in the same women's VIII as fellow Ormondian Robyn Selby Smith. This was the second time an Australian crew had featured two Ormondians, the first being the men’s VIII in 1956.
