NICHOLAS FARR-JONES – CLASS OF 2019
Nicholas graduated from MAG in 2019. After an arduous application process throughout 2019, Nicholas was accepted into the Australian Defence Force Army Gap Year program in early 2020, which gives young Australians the chance to experience an exciting and rewarding 12-month role in the army.
After spending 12 months undertaking training in Kapooka (Wagga Wagga), Singleton and finally Townsville, Nicholas decided to stay on in the army and is now based in Townsville. Initially with the rifle company, he undertook a Signallers course and is now in Support Company, Sig Platoon.
BRIDGET MORRISON – CLASS OF 2017
Bridget Morrison, an alumna of Moama Anglican Grammar from 2012 to 2017, looks back fondly on the school’s encouraging and supportive environment. After completing her studies, she opted for a gap year to recharge and carefully contemplate her future, instead of jumping straight into further study.
Bridget works as a freelance stage and screen actor. Although she has a secondary job to support herself financially, her true passion remains in the performing arts which she finds almost surreal to acknowledge! Initially focused on live theatre, Bridget has since shifted her focus to screen acting, where she is now.
In her early post-school days, Bridget had one goal – to act. However, she lacked a clear path to making it a career. Through sheer determination and immense passion, she persevered through years of rejection, a journey she takes great pride in. Her dedication was recognised with the prestigious Rising Talent Award at the Sydney Film Festival. While she acknowledges there is still much to learn (which she considers the best part about acting!), she is deeply grateful for this accolade. She views it as a testament to her hard work and to overcoming setbacks.
Offering advice to current senior students, Bridget emphasises that, in retrospect, high school will seem like a small blip amid a much longer journey. Despite the pressure and confusion of these years, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. Life is full of change and opportunities, and any decisions you make now are flexible and can evolve as you grow. Importantly, she advocates for prioritising mental wellbeing, urging students to seek help when needed, reminding them that “Nothing is more important than your mental health; no, not even exams.”
AMY CAREY – CLASS OF 2017
Amy Carey attended Moama Anglican Grammar from Year 5 in 2010 through to her graduation in 2017. Following her time at school, she chose to take a gap year, seizing the opportunity to work and travel the world with friends.
After her adventures abroad, Amy relocated to Melbourne to pursue her passion, enrolling in a Bachelor of Design at Monash University.
Now based in Melbourne, just a short distance from the beach in Cheltenham, Amy has established a successful career with Merlin Entertainments, known for its popular attractions like SEA LIFE Aquariums, WILD LIFE Zoo and LEGOLAND. In her hybrid role as Marketing Executive for Schools for Australia and New Zealand, she manages ten different attractions, ensuring no two days are the same. Additionally, Amy is also a Force For Good Coordinator for Victoria, where she oversees charity visits, conservation projects and community initiatives.
Looking back on her years at Moama Anglican Grammar, Amy fondly remembers the unforgettable trips, particularly her journeys to Italy and the Western Front, which deepened her appreciation for history and culture.
As she reflects on her journey, Amy encourages current senior students to pursue what they love and to remember that it’s perfectly okay to change your mind along the way.
INGRID MCDONALD – CLASS OF 2016
Ingrid McDonald (formerly Williams) began her MAG journey in Year 6 in 2010. After graduating in 2016, Ingrid spent four years at La Trobe University studying a Bachelor of Applied Science and Master of Podiatric Practice.
Ingrid is now working as a podiatrist in private practice at Gen Health in Hamilton, Victoria and is married. ‘Becoming a full-time podiatrist in such a vibrant and collaborative workplace has been my greatest professional accomplishment since finishing school, while personally, having a wedding during COVID and marrying Bryce has been my proudest and most exciting accomplishment.’
‘I am so thankful for the time I had at MAG and it is such a privilege to see how much it’s grown since I started in 2010. The opportunity that MAG gave me and the support I received from my teachers has allowed me to end up where I am today’.
Ingrid’s message to senior students at MAG is that these years are very special, despite the challenges, ‘Do your best, that’s all that’s asked and make sure you are kind to one another. Always show empathy, be proactive and prioritise genuine relationships. In 10 years from now, you won’t look back and regret those things’.
JILLIAN O’BRIEN AND CORVAN HALL – CLASS OF 2015
They graduated from Moama Anglican Grammar in 2015 and hold many fond memories of their time at the School. For Corvan, the social service trip to Cambodia was a particularly meaningful experience, while the Italy trip stood out as a major highlight for his partner.
Following the completion of Year 12, they chose to take a gap year to work and travel. After backpacking across Europe for four months, they relocated to Geelong to commence their tertiary studies at Deakin University. Corvan undertook a Bachelor of Medical Imaging, while his partner studied a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy. They both credit their education at Moama Anglican Grammar with preparing them well for a smooth transition into university life. In particular, Corvan notes that the medical physics module in Mr Webb’s Physics class sparked his interest in pursuing a career in medical imaging.
After four years of study, both secured graduate positions in Melbourne—Corvan at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, and his partner working within a school setting. They later moved to the Gold Coast to enjoy new professional opportunities and a change of lifestyle. Over the next three years, they worked across hospital, private practice and community settings, embracing both the professional diversity and coastal lifestyle.
Since leaving the Gold Coast, they have been travelling around Australia and enjoying life on the road. Their careers in healthcare have allowed them to take on short-term locum contracts along the way, providing opportunities to meet new people, explore different regions, and continue developing their professional skills.
Their advice to current Moama Anglican Grammar students is to take their time when deciding on post-school pathways, recognising that there are many opportunities ahead. They also encourage students to enjoy their school years, as this period becomes a truly memorable part of life.
LACHIE SCHULTZ – CLASS OF 2013
Lachie Schultz began his educational journey at Moama Anglican Grammar in 2009 as a Year 6 student. Building upon the very positive work experience he completed during Year 10, Lachie decided to leave school at the end of that year and take up a plumbing apprenticeship. He finished the apprenticeship attaining a Cert III in plumbing. Lachie wanted to expand upon the foundational skills he’d learned, and returned to TAFE to do a Cert IV unit, giving him the skills to be able to run and manage a plumbing business.
Throughout his apprenticeship, Lachie never lost his passion for AFL football, playing for the Bendigo Pioneers and then Williamstown. At the end of his apprenticeship, Lachie was fortunate enough to be drafted to the Fremantle Dockers. After five years playing for the Fremantle Dockers, Lachie was started a new chapter at the Collingwood Football Club in 2024. ‘Being drafted is a major life highlight for me, and then this year I was lucky enough to play in my first finals campaign.’
SARAH CAIN – CLASS OF 2013
Class of 2013 Alumni Sarah Cain is now working at Echuca Regional Health after completing a Bachelor of Nursing at Deakin University in 2017. Sarah started at ERH as a Registered Nurse working on the medical ward and high dependency unit. She’s more recently stepped up to the role of Associate Nurse Unit Manager on the medical ward.
She fondly remembers her time at MAGs. She had amazing teachers who inspired and encouraged her throughout her time here. Shout out to Mr Webb who supported her during HSC chemistry, which was a definite challenge. My fondest memories at MAGs are those in my final years spent with great friends.
She advises students that it is easy to feel pressure to achieve a particular ATAR, but while setting goals can be a strong motivator, self-care and making time for activities they enjoy are equally important. She encourages students to listen to themselves, trust their instincts, and seek guidance from those they trust when making decisions.
She considers herself fortunate to have always known she wanted to work in healthcare, with nursing being a clear passion and a career she feels deeply called to pursue. For students who are still uncertain about their future path, she encourages them to remain open to new experiences and to challenge themselves, reminding them that life is long and it is perfectly acceptable not to love the first path they choose.
JESSIE BURGESS – CLASS OF 2012
Jessie Burgess, formerly Jessie Naughton, attended Moama Anglican Grammar from 2010 to 2012, completing Years 10 through 12. Following her graduation from MAG, Jessie pursued higher education at RMIT University in Melbourne, where she completed a degree in Chiropractic. Subsequently, she and her now-husband, Christian, a fellow Moama Anglican Grammar alumnus, relocated to Yeppoon, Queensland.
Currently, Jessie is employed as a Chiropractor at Total Health Chiropractic and is the owner of three additional Chiropractic clinics. Alongside her Chiropractic ventures, Jessie and Christian also own two Pilates studios in Queensland, adding to their already busy schedule.
COURTNEY LANGENBACHER – CLASS OF 2012
After graduating from Moama Anglican Grammar in 2012, Courtney Langenbacher was not immediately clear on what career path she wanted to pursue. In the meantime, she accepted a job at Subway in Echuca where she continued to work for six years.
After relocating to Leeton, NSW, Courtney commenced a Cert IV Business Administration traineeship with the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) through Tocal College. Courtney thrived in this learning environment and won the 2022 Trainee of the Year for TAFE NSW. Upon completing the traineeship, she was immediately recruited as a Skills Training Officer at DPI, Tocal College; and has now moved into the role of Skills Training Coordinator. In this role, Courtney organises the schedule of agricultural courses offered by the College and works with key stakeholders to deliver the training they require for their staff.
LUKA MULLER – CLASS OF 2011
Luka Muller embarked on his journey at Moama Anglican Grammar as a Year 7 student in 2006 and graduated in 2011. Following his completion of Year 12, he enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts at Latrobe University. However, after the first semester, he found himself uncertain about its direction and chose to defer before ultimately withdrawing from the course.
Luka now serves as a Triple J co-host on weekend afternoons and thrives as a stand-up comedian and freelance writer. Initially uncertain about his career path after school, he navigated a long and tumultuous road to his current endeavours, appreciating the obstacles along the way that enriched his journey.
Reflecting on his experiences, Luka acknowledges the difficult and lonely nature of pursuing stand up comedy. However, he takes pride in his perseverance and the exciting life he has created, full of travel, weird and cool stuff! As we interviewed Luka, he was sitting at Melbourne Airport getting ready to board a flight to Tasmania, to perform at Party In The Paddock festival. “I have to pinch myself sometimes”, he said.
STEPH O’BRIEN – CLASS OF 2011
REBECCA LOCKE – CLASS OF 2011
Since graduating from MAG in 2011, Rebecca Locke (nee Wright) has led a life less ordinary! Rebecca decided to follow her passion for golf, and after taking a gap year to focus on training and competing in golf tournaments around Australia, she set out to pursue her dream of combining golf and university in the USA. For four years, Rebecca juggled academic and athletic commitments; she was lucky enough to travel to tournaments all around the USA with her teammates. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Technology and was awarded Scholar Athletic of the Year to top it off.
Following graduation, Rebecca had to make the tough decision between pursuing an athletic or academic career. After receiving a job offer in the land development department for a primary company in New York, she decided upon a career in civil engineering. Soon afterward, Rebecca met her now-husband, Rob, who was an Officer in the US Marine Corps. The couple relocated back to Australia once Rob had completed his military service, and Rebecca has taken up work in a new field – mathematics.
JENNY PIKE – CLASS OF 2010
Jenny Pike commenced at Moama Anglican Grammar in 2005, when it was a fledgling school very different from what it has evolved into today. She graduated in 2010 as part of the School’s very first graduating class. Jenny went on to complete a Bachelor of Business (majoring in Marketing) at La Trobe University Bendigo, and later undertook additional studies in CX Design and obtained an Agent’s Representative Licence. Jenny is now the Centre Manager of 670 Chapel, a mixed‑use shopping centre in South Yarra. Her role spans marketing, leasing, finance, operations, retail management, and risk management. One of her most significant achievements to date has been developing a community‑focused initiative that was rolled out across 50 shopping centres nationally.
Reflecting on her time at Moama Anglican Grammar, Jenny recalls several standout teachers. She remembers Mrs Harrison for her amazing, authentic conversations with the class, and Mrs Kemp for her patience and kindness. Jenny also remembers the pressures that senior school and university studies can bring. She offers this advice to our senior students: “It’s OK not to know what you want to do. There’s so much pressure on this choice… instead, make sure you first take the time to understand who you are and who you want to be.”
