Feelgood at breakfast

10 August 2005

A record crowd of 440 people last week enjoyed a hearty breakfast and talk by alumnus Dr Sally Cockburn at the 10th annual Administrative Support Network Breakfast.

The Parker sisters, from left, Alice, Hannah and Ruth, entertain the crowd.

Dr Cockburn, also known as radio personality Dr Feelgood, encouraged the audience to find a balance between their work and personal lives to preserve their wellbeing.

Dr Cockburn is one of Australia's leading health communicators with nearly 20 years' clinical experience as a medical practitioner and more than 10 years' experience as a media presenter.

Professor Stephen Parker, senior deputy vice-chancellor and patron of the Network, was master of ceremonies on the breakfast, held at the Clayton campus.

A highlight of the event were performances by Professor Parker's three daughters, Ruth, Hannah and Alice, who sang two George Harrison songs, 'Here comes the sun' and 'Isn't it a pity'.

They were accompanied on guitar by Professor Parker, director of Staff Services Mr Andrew Picouleau and manager of Client Services Mr Terry Hogan.
