00:00We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, the Wurundjeri people, and pay respects to elders past and present.

00:06Their traditions of storytelling and knowledge sharing continue to inspire and enrich our school community.

00:17Welcome to the first ever episode of the Grammar Grapevine.

00:20I'm your host Chelsea, and this is your go-to podcast for staying updated,

00:25meeting new faces, and hearing their stories from around the Hunter Valley Grammar School community.

00:31Today, I'm joined by Flynn, who is actually our producer.

00:37I'm stoked to be here. I'm the podcast producer, so normally I'll not be on the screen.

00:43I'll be in the corner of the room, helping Chelsea run the interview from behind the scenes.

00:49The first episode, we kind of wanted everyone to get to know the podcast, why we started it.

00:54We're going to interview ourselves, like each other.

00:57So we started the first ever HBGS podcast, which is a little bit random.

01:01I know, it was quite random, it was.

01:02Saturday morning after breakfast.

01:04A winter Saturday morning after Parker.

01:06A cool winter's day.

01:07A crisp Saturday morning in the middle of winter in Maitland at the Whistler.

01:12And we were sitting down.

01:14And I said, I was just like, Flynn, you know what? We could make a really good podcast.

01:20I said 100%.

01:21Based off you and me as people, I think we have good personalities for a podcast.

01:26Who wouldn't want to listen to my voice all day?

01:28Exactly.

01:29Put together a proposal to show Mr Robinson, the head of senior school.

01:34And he absolutely loved our idea.

01:38And he talked to Miss Butterworth, all of the important people who all were very supportive of our idea.

01:45The teachers have been great, actually.

01:47So we've found ourselves with so much support.

01:50Everyone's offering their expertise.

01:53As of recording, we've done half of season one.

01:57It's going great.

01:58We're really excited for you guys to listen.

02:00We're really excited for you.

02:01Because this is the first episode.

02:02This is what people will hear.

02:04We're just hooking to season two now.

02:05I know.

02:06We're ready to go for next year.

02:08Okay, so basically term four will be season one.

02:11And then every season we've got new guests, new topics.

02:15We try to incorporate the whole school.

02:17ELC, junior school, senior school.

02:19Anyone who has a story to tell.

02:20If anyone actually has anything exciting, please email.

02:24Also any talented students to join the team with love.

02:27To help behind the scenes.

02:28Yeah.

02:29So if you're interested and you see Chelsea or I around, come talk to us.

02:32We don't bite.

02:33Or shoot us an email.

02:35And I guess the reason why we've done it.

02:38Obviously just a fun idea we both had.

02:41Also bring everyone together.

02:43But yeah, I think connection is a really big theme.

02:46I think like.

02:47Of the podcast.

02:48We want to build on the relationship between the senior school, the junior school, the ELC.

02:53Just because I feel like having such a large school community.

02:57We're so lucky.

02:58And I think it's important we look after it.

03:00Because like I said, not everyone gets that.

03:03As the host of the Grammar O'Clock.

03:04As the host.

03:05Who is Chelsea?

03:06I'm a Libra.

03:07I'm 16 years old.

03:09And I've been at Hunter Valley Grammar for.

03:11This is my third year now.

03:13So I came here in year eight.

03:14I do aerobics for the school.

03:16I've done netball for the school.

03:18Flynn, as the producer.

03:21What do you think are some things people should know about you?

03:24We're both in year 10.

03:25What star sign are you?

03:26Oh, I'm a Cancer.

03:28Thanks for asking.

03:29Explains a lot.

03:30I'm joking.

03:31I thought Cancer like really lovely emotional people.

03:35Says you're nurturing and loyal.

03:37I have drama a lot behind the scenes.

03:39As the backstage coordinator.

03:41I do that for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Puffs.

03:44Or slightly different roles.

03:46But pretty similar.

03:47How is it different?

03:48With Puffs, it was just the creative team.

03:50So it was like mainly props and costumes.

03:52And it was a lot smaller.

03:53And I was a lot more involved in actually doing the things.

03:56And then with Iwanka, we had a huge team.

04:00So I was kind of just helping out all of the team leaders from that.

04:04And working in between them.

04:05Which was me.

04:06Yeah, Chelsea also was the head of hair and makeup this year.

04:10How would you rate your experience?

04:12I met a lot of people.

04:13Drama people are so lovely.

04:15Anyways, back to the star signs.

04:16It says I'm extroverted.

04:19Have lots of charm and persuasion.

04:21Yeah, this is why you're the host.

04:24Because of your charm.

04:25Let's play two truths and a lie.

04:27Oh, yes.

04:28Okay, I'm going first.

04:29I'm going first.

04:30The first one is I got thrown off a horse in New Zealand.

04:34Second one is I've been to eight countries.

04:37And then the third one is my favourite colours.

04:43So there's two.

04:44Is pink and orange.

04:45The lie is the middle one.

04:47What was that?

04:48You haven't been to eight countries.

04:49How many have I been to?

04:50I don't know.

04:51Seven.

04:52Oh, I'm going to lie.

04:54I'm terrible at lying.

04:55Okay, I've sat in the same golf buggy that Chris Hemsworth has sat in.

05:00Number two, I rode the same horse as Billie Eilish has ridden.

05:05I don't know if that's right.

05:07Okay.

05:08And my third one is I have been to England.

05:13That's a lie.

05:15Nope.

05:16You got it wrong.

05:17Well, what's the lie?

05:18The lie is the middle one.

05:19No, because we're at school camp and I know you rode the same horse as Billie.

05:24No, it was Aiden.

05:25Oh, rat bags.

05:27I know.

05:28I was sad I didn't get that horse back.

05:29I was sad I didn't get that horse, but my horse was very pretty.

05:31Oh.

05:32So I wasn't that sad, actually.

05:33Yeah, I loved horse riding at camp.

05:35Oh, wasn't it great?

05:37So good.

05:38It really hurt.

05:39Yeah, your butt.

05:40It hurt your butt.

05:41You're like, gosh.

05:46Rat bags.

05:48I have a quiz.

05:49I'm going to quiz you on me.

05:50Rapid fire.
