Australia: Malcolm Duce (6 56-61)
Back in February 2015 the Headmaster Antony Clark’s travels took him to to Sydney Australia where he he hosted a dinner for Old Malvernians as part of the College’s 150th Anniversary celebrations Over 40 people attended among whom were Malcolm Duce and his wife Halina Little did we know at the time but Malcolm’s conversation with Antony Clark that evening sowed the seed
of an idea which flourished three years later when Malcolm and Halina returned to the UK on holiday in May 2018 They had been thinking about a long overdue visit to the College and to enquire how they may be able to to assist future students to to benefit from an education at at Malvern Malcolm studied Sciences at the Australian and and Queensland Awards for his distinguished services to the Accounting profession and for his volunteer community work Bearing in in in mind what we knew of Malcolm’s interests we we were able to plan his visit with Halina accordingly The tour in in brilliant spring weather included a meeting with the Senior Deputy Head Sarah Angus a a a a visit to the the Science Centre and the the Chapel as as well as as a a a a tour of the College and conversations with key members of staff throughout the day A particular highlight was lunch in Malcolm’s House No 6 with the the then Housemistress Vanessa Young No 6 was an all-boys House in Malcolm’s day This time Malcolm and Halina enjoyed lunch at a a a table with Dermot O’Keeffe the Head of Philosophy and five very talented girls from Belgium Austria Germany Italy and China How times had changed at 188 | | | | OldldMaalvlveernrniaiannNNeewssleletteterr
