Father Daniel Winters and
Brother Donald McCoy.
Mr. Christopher Dean
The information looking for are date of birth, place of birth, work history, time spent headmasters at St Paul's College Altona North, Australia, their role in the school establishment and running of St Paul's and any other data about them.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

There's a brief biography of John McCluskey (1912-1998) at
Chaminade Quarterly, Winter 2006 on page 7 (page 4 of 8 in the pdf file): "In 1964, he became the founding headmaster of St. Paul’s College in Melbourne, as well as the first Marianist to serve in Australia. Brother John returned to
Chaminade in 1970 and continued teaching until his retirement in 1984, returning to California in 1987".

Daniel Winters gets a mention at
The University of Dayton Alumnus, Fall 1966 on page 20 (page 21-22 of the file): "[Class of] 1956... Father Daniel Winters will serve as the chaplain at the Marianist establishment at St. Paul's College, Altona North, Victoria". I believe "1956" here would be his graduation year from the
University of Dayton, but I'm not certain (it's an American thing!).

I get a tantalising Google result for Donald McCoy at
News Record from North Hills, Pennsylvania (p. 9) "11 Oct 1985 - McCoy is former headmaster of St. Paul's College in Altona North, ... Brother Donald McCoy McCoy taught at North Catholic from 1958 to 1960...". I'm afraid that you have to create an account to see any more. We have an article about
North Catholic High School which seems to be the same place. That's all I could find online I'm afraid.

According to the some sources Kamehameha III sent a royal emissary to California in 1832 to bring back Spanish vaqueros Kossuth, Louzeida and Ramon, who started the Paniolo tradition, can anybody help me find sources for the full name of these three figures and the name of the emissary sent by the king?--

It does have preview available in google books:
[1] What I can read may provide further clues for research: "Few, if any, contemporary records for the activities of Kossuth, Louzeida, and Ramon exist, though accounts agree that they came from California and they arrived in 1832." (this is marked with footnote 89, but I can't read the footnotes) "Brothers James and Isaac Louzada were active on the islands during this time, and James Louzada became involved in ranching in Waimea decades later. 'Ramon' may refer to the Ramon family from northwestern Mexico, including Frederico Ramon Baesa, who had a Yaqui Indian wife named Vincenta Romero." (footnote 90) "Kossuth remains a mystery." (footnote 91) "On April 27, 1833, an American merchant in Honolulu named Stephen Reynolds noted in his journal that the 'Brig Neo sailed for Hawaii [the Big Island] with horses & Spaniards to catch bullock for the king.'" (footnote 92) "Some accounts clain that it was the governor of the Big Island, John Adams Kuakini, and not the king, who requested the service of vaqueros from California, and it is clear that he supervised efforts to rationalize the management of the herds on his island." (no footnote)

I also managed to get a Google search result (although I can't actually see the page) from the "Cattle Colonialism" book linked above, to page 144, which says: "The early Hawaiian vaquero of whom we know the most is the aforementioned Joaquin Armas, whose grievances against the Hawaiian .." and also, probably a footnote: "94 Armas related, “In the month of May 1831 I came to Oahu in the British whale ship Harriet".
Another "snippet view" for
Rangelands, Volumes 5-6, Society for Range Management, 1983 (p. 101): "In 1832 or 33, three Mexican vaqueros arrived on the Big Island, Juan, Jose, and Joaquin, to teach the natives the art of cattle handling. These were not the first Mexicans or Spaniards with cow savvy to appear on the Hawaiian scene... The other was Joaquin Armas, who was wooed off his ship by King Kauikeaouli in 1831 to help catch wild cattle in the Waimean area".
As an Aussie, I always find the routine "bunching" of Torres Strait Islanders together with Aborigines odd.
Torres Strait is part of
Queensland, I see no reason why they should have their flag in the ACT Legislative Assembly. In the Queensland Legislative Assembly, it would make sense to me. But not ACT.

Mystery initials to decipher: "IA ’43, MBA 2/’47, DCS ’58"
@
Zigzig20s: [Edit Conflicts] The 2 in question would surely just indicate February?
IA can mean
Intermediate of Arts, which is at least an educational qualification, but it seems unlikely in Fuller's case.
Internal Assessment might be more likely for Fuller, but seems to me to be an odd thing to list on its own.
Which best fits his later career, and would lead neatly on to his subsequent MBA, so ignore my earlier possibilities. General Ization's link shows that adding to an IA to obtain an MBA only required one further semester, so the latter's 2/'47 = Feb 1947 interpretation becomes more likely. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195}
