Bernard is well placed with natural music talent playing  guitar, piano, keyboard, and harmonica.  His singing abilities were well complemented by his showmanship as the band's frontman, contributing to Powderfinger's widespread success over 20 years. Bernard has also been able to progress an equally successful solo career which has continued to date.   It will come as no surprise to those that knew Bernard at Terrace, that he has been able to use his career as a popular musician to speak out about political and moral matters. He has made well placed commentary about Aboriginal justice in Australia and encourage the conversation about reconciliation.    Memories of Bernard from our time at school will always be of an individual who was diligent, personable and kind. He could engage conversations in any forum about social, political  or sporting matters. As a keen sports enthusiast, Bernard played ruby and made a solid contribution to Terrace cricket being a member of the First XI.     During social occasions with good friends and I hear the familiar tunes of Powderfinger or Bernard's solo work drifts through the gathering, I am always proud to say that I went to school with Bernard Fanning.

Andrew was a talented guitarist as well, and was a member of several if not all of the GT bands in his time at the school.  He toured several times with many of the bands, where his fine musical performances were on occasions offset by mishaps including a double ankle injury falling over on stage at Waverly College, and losing his passport at Christchurch airport.  In addition to the above, my memory of Andrew was a larger than life figure (and I don't think Andrew would mind me saying he was larger in 1991 than he is now), sitting at the back of the 303 bus to Chapel Hill each afternoon, entertaining his mates (and All Hallows school girls), very comfortable being the centre of attention.  As I said above, its little surprise that he has gone on to enjoy a successful career in entertainment.

He undertook his residency at the Royal Brisbane Hospital and was an eye registrar at both the Royal Brisbane and Princess Alexandra hospitals, in Brisbane. It was about the time that he met and married his wife, Colleen. As was common at the time, he undertook postgraduate ophthalmology training at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, working his way in both directions as a ship's surgeon. Upon returning to Brisbane, he entered both public and private practice, following his passion for both medical student and ophthalmic registrar training. He loved people. During his 50 years of College involvement, three generations of students and registrars benefited from his teaching and wisdom. I vividly remember attending his clinic at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, as a fifth year medical student. Frank was intimately involved with the College at a local, state and federal level. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Queensland ophthalmology registrar training program. Frank Sullivan was a registrar supervisor, College examiner, a member and later chair of the Queensland Qualification and Education Committee. He strove to develop an esprit de corps within specialty. Many was the time that registrars would sit on his back veranda attending a tutorial, afterwards enjoying an occasional beer! He served as Chairman of the Continuing Education Committee and was the Chairman of the Part II Court of Examiners. He served as Vice President, before becoming President of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (RANZCO) in 1988- 1989. Over the years he developed a rich network of ophthalmic colleagues both within RANZCO, as well as in the United Kingdom and the United States. He was held in high esteem by his colleagues. I recall excitedly reporting to my wife that I had been asked to join his practice, Terrace Eye Centre, which he had co-founded many years before. In the latter years of his practice, he was a member of the RANZCO Training Post Inspectorate and Chairman of the Queensland Compensation Tribunal (Q Comp). In recognition of a lifetime of service to RANZCO, he was awarded our highest honour, The College Medal in 2010. For his services to the community in the field of ophthalmology, he was awarded the Medal in the Order of Australia (OAM) in the Australia Day honours list of 2011. He was a mentor to many young ophthalmologists. On one occasion, when I sought his advice regarding career direction, he responded, "… to thine self be true". He loved language. Frank enjoyed a long and happy marriage to his wife Colleen. His eight children, Catherine, Timothy, Louise, Joanna, Fiona, Gabrielle, Harriet and Annabel were cosseted and encouraged by his love and example. He loved his family, his profession and life. He was a man who lived by his credo and will be missed by many.

His interviews and relaxed (Queenslander) style in front of the camera saw him add shows such as Dancing with the Stars, I'm a Celebrity Get Me out of Here's companion show, Saturday Schoolies, The 2019 Melbourne Cup, and more to his resume.     In late 2019, Scott was lured to the United States by NBC Universal, one of the world's largest mass media and entertainment conglomerates, to host new programs for E!

His passion for film and TV was ignited at Terrace, and has thanked Maria Lourundous on countless occasions as the reason why he has a career in Film and TV today. He showed early promise by curating a combination of Bobby Darin's splish-splash and Fatboy Slim's funkso brothers, to see Kearny House take the House Choir win in his senior year.  After Terrace, Scott attended UQ and studied commerce and economics - however in his 4th year scored his first TV hosting role, fronting Prank Patrol. The rest is history. On a more personably note, Scott has always had a big-world view yet a never to be questioned, proud Australian attitude. In 2021, during the pandemic, Scott organised and hosted Aussie Christmas in LA – an event raising much-needed funds for the Australian Wildlife Conservancy in the wake of the 2020 Bushfires. He Partnered with great Australian brand's, including Tourism Australia and Penfold's, and gave an opportunity for all those stranded in LA, missing home, to enjoy quintessential Australianisms, for a good cause!  It was a great success, and a true testament to his personal qualities. Last but not least, Scott has used his talents and years of experience to produce some of the most wholesome yearly-content seen during the month December, as he takes his dear Grandma, Joy, around Brisbane's Suburban Christmas-Lights display's, allowing her to grace us all with her wisdom and fine critique. A well-rounded, successful, and proud Terracian.
