• “FOLLOW THE MANTRA” – DR WARRILLOW’S PLEA

  ​Through the unrelenting, ongoing course of the COVID-19 pandemic, Austin Health’s ICU Director Dr Stephen Warrillow (1990) has stood firm on the front line.
  
  That is incredibly reassuring for those Victorians whose lives are quite literally in the hands of the Old Paradian and his dedicated team.
  
  But the past 18 months have challenged them all like never before. To quote Dr Warrillow: “The team is tired”.
  
  At the State Government’s press briefing this week, Dr Warrillow took to the podium to plead his case to all Victorians to protect their loved ones and the unsung heroes looking after them intensive care.
  
  In doing so, Dr Warrillow offered a real insight into the remorseless pressures posed by COVID-19 on ICU, as he urged his fellow Victorians to vaccine for the greater good – “and the right vaccine is the one you can get”.

• REVEALED: PARADE'S BEST LEAGUE TEAM SINCE '71

  Melbourne daily newspaper the Herald Sun has identified five premiership players, a Brownlow Medal winner, Fitzroy’s last captain (Brad Boyd, pictured) and a Collingwood best and fairest amongst its star-studded line-up of Parade College graduates who have achieved big things at the top level of Australian Rules.
  
  Parade has churned out no shortage of football heroes over the decades, with its Best VFL/AFL Team of the Past 50 years making for impressive reading.
  
  The Herald Sun team, named recently, includes the three-time Richmond premiership captain Trent Cotchin, who was also a joint winner of the 2012 Brownlow Medal alongside Hawthorn’s Sam Mitchell. Cotchin spent his first four years of high school at Parade College, before completing his last two years of schooling at Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School.
  
  Cotchin’s football resume also includes three best-and-fairest wins at Richmond, All-Australian honours in 2012 and being named the AFL Coaches’ Association Champion Player of the Year in 2012.

ABOUT

The Old Paradians' Association seeks to foster links with all past students, whose formative years were shaped by the Christian Brothers of Parade College.

Formally established in 1914, the Association’s inaugural 13-man committee included the President James Kennedy (who completed his Matriculation class at Parade in 1890), Reverend Brother JM Dwyer and the Rush brothers Robert and William, all of whom maintained a continuing interest in the Association for the rest of their lives.
