Power for the Sydney University Campus is provided through the University’s contract supply arrangements and St Paul’s has chosen to be one of the colleges benefitting from renewable energy optimisation. From July the University will be purchasing its electricity from Red Energy and 100% of its electricity in NSW originates from renewable sources, backed by Snowy Hydro. Under the contract the University’s and College’s activities will be powered by solar energy. The positive impact will be in excess of removing 31,200 cars from the road. It also brings the University, with some of the colleges, a step closer to implementing zero emissions by 2030. An interesting Pauline connection to the early years of hydro-electric power generation in Australia was Mr J Russell Ashton CB (in College 1943-46) who studied Civil Engineering and was the Commissioner of the Tasmanian Hydro-Electric Commission between 1977 and 1987. He led the commission during the

Following the College XV’s victorious campaign opener against St John’s on 27 April (63-0), confidence was high among the troops when Wesley came to town on 4 May. Playing in front of a passionate crowd on the College Oval, the rugby side displayed the toughest of carries up the guts, excellent attacking flair in the backs, and defensive brutality across the park. Final score; 62-3. Our arch rivals, St Andrew’s, were next. The clash took place under lights at the Sydney University Football Ground (formerly No. 2 Oval) on 18 May. As expected, Drew’s rolled out a top shelf side, stacked with Shute Shield first graders and first colts, however, this did not deter the Paulines. A thrilling match that showcased all the elements of rugby ensued. The Androvians had the edge in the forwards, but our boys probably had the better of them in the backs. Despite the close
