HEAD MASTER'S BULLETIN | FRIDAY 10 AUGUST 2018

NEWS & NOTIFICATIONS

From the Head MasterAs we draw near to the conclusion of the winter season, I have been reflecting on sport in the life of the School.

Sport takes on different significance in different schools, and in the perspectives of different stakeholders. Sportcan be an expression of the prestige of the School, through the quality of the facilities and the kit of theparticipants. Sport can be a proxy for the success of the School, whereby winning a sporting competition indicatesthat a school is superior to its competitors on a broader front. Sport can be a channel for the expression of Schoolspirit, where the crowd of cheering supporters experience identifying with something bigger than themselves. Sportcan be an avenue to future careers for the elite, providing support and opening doors for glittering success in theyears to come.

While there are varying degrees of validity to all these perspectives, I believe that they are peripheral to thepurpose of sport at our School. Over the last little while, I have been formulating a number of principles that guideour sporting program. All of these are already integral to the program as it currently exists, although codifyingthem to guide our program in the future may entail some modifications and change.

The first one is participation. From the beginning, Trinity has seen the importance of sport as a key element in oureducation program, aiming to shape young men in mind, body and spirit. There are things that a young man needsto learn that will not be learned in the classroom. Many of these can be learned on the sporting field. For thisreason, we are unrelenting in our expectation that all boys will be required to participate in the summer and winterseasons, commencing at an age-appropriate point and continuing all the way to the completion of Year 12. Thisweekend, therefore, marks the end of the school sport journey for our graduating class, many of whom have beendonning the Trinity Green for a decade.

Our second principle is breadth of experience. School sport provides an opportunity for boys to broaden theirexperience by trying new and different things. We have seen accounts in the news of professional athletes whoselong-term wellbeing has been compromised by an extended focus on one specific sport to the detriment of otherinterests and activities. We also recognize that in a world characterized by change, our boys are well-served bylearning to be comfortable doing new and different things. In different sports boys will connect with differentfriends, discover new opportunities, learn new skills, and, in the doing of it, shape a richer life. The diversity ofsporting options that we provide is intended to give our young people this breadth of experience. This principle ofbroadening experience is the primary reason why boys, particularly in younger years, are required to do differentsports in the summer and winter seasons rather than specializing.

Our third principle is around the importance of team sports. Invaluable life lessons regarding leadership,cooperation, group identity, and mutual encouragement are learned through team sports. The reality is thatworking with others towards a shared goal is one of the most valuable capacities that our boys can develop, beingnecessary for so many dimensions of adult life. In addition, team sports also involve competition. Competition is notalways a good thing, and it ought not become the lens through which our boys learn to view life generally, butcompetition can be healthy and helpful. Competition spurs improvement, and provides a comparative measure ofmastery. At Trinity, all boys will required to participate in at least one team sport per year in Years 7-10.

The fourth principle has to do with focused effort. School sport provides yet another context in which boys canlearn the relationships between having goals, perseverance and improvement. All the sports that we offer shouldhelp our boys to see these relationships in practice, with the outcome being their understanding that individual andteam improvement and progress is always possible. This principle lies behind our expectation that all boys will bediligent and committed in the sporting program, attending and participating whole-heartedly, and giving of theirbest.

article, nor do I expect that everything has been said above that could or should be said about sport. As I notedearlier, stakeholders will imbue sport at the School with different significance and meaning. However, it seems tome that we hold to the best traditions of the School when we affirm that sport at Trinity is a means, not an end. It isa servant, not a master. Sport at Trinity is not about producing scores of which we can be proud, but producingmen of whom we can be proud.

Kerrigan House Barbecue FundraiserKerrigan House Barbecue Fundraiser for the Westmead Children’s Hospital Cancer Centre

During Term 2, the boys of Kerrigan House planned a fundraiser barbecue for the Westmead Children’s Hospital, acharity the House actively supports. The Year 11 IB boys of Kerrigan House mostly headed the project and aftermany weeks of planning and organising, the fundraiser took place on the 7th of June. We were able to raise$1257.85 for the Cancer Centre’s music therapy department. The centre, in conjunction with the StarlightFoundation, Make a Wish Foundation and Ronald McDonald House cares for over 80 000 sick and injured children ayear. The Music Therapy Department is only a small branch of the hospital, but has had a profound impact on thelives of many young patients. Many thanks go to Mr Wirth, Mrs Giuliani, Mr McKay and the Tutors of Kerrigan foraiding and setting aside time for the fundraiser. It was a privilege to raise funds for such a worthy cause.

ACADEMIC

Academic Focus | Learning and AssessmentThis week I had the pleasure of speaking with Middle School students about their learning as they lead into the finalperiod of assessment for the 2018 academic year. We talked about the fact that one of the most significantoutcomes for each Middle School boy is understanding how he actually learns, and how to translate thatunderstanding into productive study patterns.

It seems to me that if we focus on ‘learning’ rather than performing, we have a much better opportunity to developdeep and personal approaches to our core business at School. Molecular biologist John Medina, whose work I havewritten about earlier this year, emphasises a really important point here: that our brains are ‘plastic’. They are everchanging in the composition of neural pathways as a result of the things we learn to do. Learning, then, is‘rewiring’ our brains. If we want to learn well, we need to encode information efficiently so we can retrieve itefficiently and demonstrate our learning in assessment.

Our next question then becomes, ‘What can I do to maximise efficiency in the way I am encoding knowledge,understanding and skills?’ Here are some of the ‘brain rules’ for maximising learning we looked at:

1. Efficient neural pathways require maintenance. When we learn in class we are given opportunities to see,understand and apply– but that’s not enough! We need to engage again and again by organising ourknowledge and practising how we use it. We create study notes, flash cards, mind maps, PowerPoints, andwe do practise questions and write practice paragraphs so that we rewire our brains effectively.

2. Brains love visual stimulus. Using colour symbolically and chunking information into visual bites should bekey techniques as we create study aids.

3. Repeat to remember. But … lots of research shows that ‘spaced repetition’ is more effective. This meansstudying for, say a Maths or Languages test, for 30 minutes every day for the week before the test is farmore efficient than studying for a three hour block the night before the test. Repeat to remember – butspace the repetition with the aid of a clear study schedule.

4. Exercise promotes brain function. There are lots of theories about why this is so, but the research isirrefutable. Brain function is improved when we undertake physical exercise – so include it in your studyschedule.

5. Sleep promotes brain function. Studies of both soldiers and teenagers demonstrate not only improved brainfunction following adequate (7 hours plus) sleep, but more crucially the debilitating effects of sleep deficitupon a range of brain functions we often call upon in assessments: strategizing, visual discrimination,decision making.

The difference between learning and performing is significant. If it is just one-off performance on the day of theassessment we are chasing, then our knowledge will be rote and shallow. If we are attending equally to what weare learning as well as how we are learning, then we set ourselves up for deeper understanding of concepts and theability to apply them to more unfamiliar contexts.

The challenge for each Middle School boy is to find what works for him. What kind of study plan is helpful? Whatkind of note taking methods promote understanding? How does he organise study time in balance with other Trinityand life commitments? How can he experiment and try different methods of study? What should he ‘create’ toorganise his knowledge and demonstrate his skills to himself? All boys are warmly encouraged to dialogue withtheir teachers, tutors and House Masters about best ways to answer these questions.

The challenge for teachers is equally important: to continue our focus on developing, assessing and providingfeedback for not just the content of our syllabi, but also the approaches to learning and strategies for genuineengagement evidenced by each boy. As we advance our review of assessment and reporting, these questionsremain at the forefront of our work, and in coming weeks I look forward to sharing with you the outcomes of ourwork.

News from the Arthur Holt LibrarySo Many Biographies!

The Arthur Holt Library has added a significant number of biographies and autobiographies to the collection and weare celebrating the new arrivals with a display!

Biographies and autobiographies have a unique profile in the world of literature being;

Full of real events - which lends them credibility and relevance. They can allow you to stand on theshoulders of giants, or live through great risk without leaving your cosy couch.


Soaked in personality - the intimacy created by focussing on one individual means that spending timewith a biography is like forming a new friendship.Flavoured by narrative - biographies correct for the episodic and random qualities of lived existence bywinding it into a story : progress is made and lessons are learned, this is a vital part of what makes them socomforting.Full of life advice and hard-won wisdom (without the ‘ten steps’). Reading how another person hasnegotiated life’s challenges and triumphs can provoke real consideration as to what you would do in thosecircumstances. In the best cases it is like having a ‘mentor at a distance.’Great writing - biographies and autobiographies are often meticulously crafted works of literature -especially those written by politicians, statesman, comedians, journalists (or talented ghost writers)Another perspective - What is life like in another profession? Under the sea? For an elite athlete? For astroke survivor? Finding out is only a library away!

LIBRARY CHAMPIONS

Our Library Champions program is a great way for students to share their love of reading, get peerrecommendations, participate in collection development, work collaboratively, learn new skills and participate inthe the Trinity community. From Trinity term onwards we will be focusing on communications, writing for the web,interviewing techniques, and broadcasting skills. If your son is in the Middle years and has a flair for writing or aninterest in podcasts or journalism there has never been a better time to join the champions.

The Library Champions meet Monday Lunchtimes from 1:30pm in the Arthur Holt Library Brainstorm Room. If yourson was a library monitor or part of a school executive in primary school this is an excellent program for extendingthose skills and forming new friendships across the middle years.

Showcase Night Sensational Success!Congratulations to the young men who participated in the HSC Drama, IB Literature & Performance and IB FilmShowcase on Tuesday evening to a most appreciative audience. There was standing room only in the EDT for atruly unforgettable night of theatre and film. The depth and breadth of the work presented was significantlydifferent and reflected the level of the sophistication of ideas, a range of performance possibilities and technicalexcellence.

The films, accompanied by a number of tension building trailers, were a credit to all. The Hitchcock-esque geniusof, “Mummy” had the audience simultaneous levitate, whilst the dramatic intensity of, “Picture Frame” allowed adeeper appreciation for the technical difficulties involved in film making.

The HSC Drama programme reflected the beautiful and sensitive work of the Individual Projects as well as thequestionable catharsis of taboo topics explored through the use of Black Comedy. Groups utilized manyperformance styles including physical theatre techniques for their self-devised 12 minute foray into ensemblework. Boldly broaching ideas such as, the role and place of Heroes in modern society, the bankrupt morality of bigbusiness, manipulation of third world workers and other meaty topics such as the religious significance of God inthe twenty first century. The projects showcased the diversity of the students’ skills, costume and set designs, adirectorial project, a video drama and two scripts.

The IB Lit and Performance boys constructed a transformation from Ital Calvino’s, The Non-existent Knight that wasslick and dynamic. It was received with laughter and critical acclaim. The stylistic techniques of absurdism smashedwith pythonesque humour proved very engaging theatre.

From where we sat it was an inspiring night that reflected the amazing talent and dedication that the artsengender, nurture and develop.

SPORT

From the SportsmasterAs the Winter Season draws to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff, coaches, parentsand students for the role they have each played in making the 2018 season a successful one. In particular, I wouldlike to thank the Masters in Charge of each of the winter sports namely Mr Barnes (AFL), Mr Gray (Football), Mr Folli(Rugby), Mr Spratt (Cross Country), Mr Simos (Volleyball), Mr Dygkraaff (Tennis), Mr Hirst (School Swimming), MrDennis (Lawn Bowls), Mr Mickler (Table Tennis), Mr Latimer (Fencing), Mr Moore (RAW) and Mr Woods (Diving) fortheir support of delivering high quality programs to the boys within their activity.

We now look forward to the short yet exciting Track and Field Season, which was launched this week. It was aprivilege to be part of this launch of this sport on Wednesday at Recess in the Lathan Theatre, where Mr AndrewMurphy led an engaging and interesting meeting, highlighting the excitement of the CAS Track and FieldChampionships on 20 September. Good luck to all boys who are committing to this program. Please note, thatcommencing from Week 4, other than the Track and Field Invitational Carnivals, there are no Saturday sportingcommitments for the remainder of Term Three.

Looking ahead to the Summer Season, boys will be making their sport selections for the 2018/2019 Summer inWeek 4 of this term. I would encourage all parents to discuss this commitment with their sons to ensure informedselections are made. The Summer Season can bring some disappointment selection-wise, with sports likeBasketball and Tennis usually being over-subscribed for the number of teams the School is capable of fielding.

An exciting new initiative for 2018/19, Trinity will be introducing Touch Football in the summer in an effort toincrease our capacity to accommodate students' sport selections and keep them on site at Trinity Summer Hillduring sport times. Initially, three teams will be entered into an existing social competition with other IndependentSchools, namely a Junior (Year 8 only), Intermediate (Years 9 and 10) and Senior (Years 11 and 12), where eachteam will have a maximum of 12 students per team. Touch Football is an exciting energetic sport, where it isanticipated that boys will be fast, agile and skillful to make the side.

To help families understand the complete list of choices available to their students, I would ask that everyonereview the document in the link below which outlines which sports are available to each year group. Guidelinessurrounding any prerequisites or nuisances pertaining to choosing these sport selections can be found here.

Rugby vs CranbrookMIC

Saturday’s games were about dismissing perception and displaying attitude. Cranbrook has developed a reputationas giant killers as well as being highly competitive during the season. After the previous weekend’s results againstKnox, many could have been forgiven for thinking that our teams would struggle against Cranbrook, especially the1st XV.

However, our coaches, led by the Director of Rugby, Mr Campbell, refocused their efforts for our penultimatecampaign of the season. Buoyed by the coaches’ collective attitude during the week at training, our boysregrouped, taking on board the lessons from Knox and preparing for Cranbrook.

The core lesson, I believe, taken from the last two rounds, was that despite disappointment, our boys learnt tobounce back and look forward. The paradox of course, is that defeat teaches valuable lessons for victory. On behalfof the coaches, I would like to congratulate the boys, across all age-groups, for their fine performances onSaturday.

Looking ahead, we have one more round against Waverley College. To our boys: remember to play the same wayagainst Waverley on Saturday as you did this last weekend, and leave the field satisfied that you did your best. Tothe Year 12s: enjoy the last School game and value the memories the day will provide.

1st XV

“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”

This has certainly been a frustrating season for the 1st XV. We have felt the tumbling roller coaster that sport canprovide, with the many highs followed by the unsuspecting lows. In the first three games of the season wemanaged to score nearly 100 points while only conceding 19, with the those only coming from the great defeat ofSt Joseph’s College. However, in the succeeding games, the tide turned, and we unfortunately started to loseconfidence. Ultimately, we forgot how to win!

This week was all about finding that feeling again, the excitement and the passion that we had worked so hard for.The boys had a different pre-game chat; instead watching a video of their journey from last September and


celebrating the fantastic achievements that had been made. In particular, we celebrated the Year 12 boys, in theirlast-ever home game, and thanked them for their service to both the School, and Rugby. When the whistle blew,they were ready.

Our intent was made from the kick-off when Michael Eid (10Ke) collected our own kick and took the ball intoheavy contact, making himself known after being injured since the 2nd trial game. Although our boys were excitedand our old defence looked to be back to its best, a few dropped balls and ill-discipline led to a penalty goal toCranbrook. The score sat at 0-3. This seemed all too familiar. However, as in Confucius’ quote, our boys rose afterevery fall.

Some handy footwork and physical ball running from captain Tane Edmed (12Fo) saw the Trinity boys work theball into the Cranbrook half. Some ill-discipline now from Cranbrook allowed us to capitalise from a quick tap whichsaw Malachi Hawkes (12WJ) touch the ball down in the corner to put us in the lead 5-3.

This try gave our boys the belief they needed, as they immediately went on the attack again. After another greatkick-off, the ball was worked close to the line, only to be knocked on before the second try came. However, theCranbrook scrum felt the pressure from Trinity as our boys skated them off the ball, taking a fantastic tight-headscrum, which allowed Lachlan Ilias (12Sc) to dance through the Cranbrook backline to score near the posts tobring the score 12-5, after the conversion from Tane Edmed. The score came slightly closer before half-time, with atry to Cranbrook leaving the half-time score at 12-8.

The half-time speeches were delivered, which reiterated the need to retain our own ball, and the need to score thenext two tries to shut Cranbrook out. And the boys did just that. The forwards were relentless at the breakdown, inparticular Zane Chesterfield (11Mu) and Nikolas Ginis (12Ta). After some great forward carries, the ball wentwide to Matthew Yazbek (12Yo), who scored in the corner for his last home game! The next try came fromMichael Eid with almost the same format from the forwards, answering our half-time goal. Now it was time to finishthem! Thomas Diiorio-De Domeneghi (12Yo) was the next to cross the line out wide, from an impressive playfrom the backline. Both Jaymesson Ieremia (11WJ) and Sione Vuki (11Ho) were having fantastic games out theback, with Tom having one of his best games of the season.

The game concluded at 32-8 with a fantastic win against a quality Cranbrook side. Now that the boys are back onthe winning circuit and are starting to remember that feeling, everyone is excited about our final game againstWaverley at Death Valley (Queen’s Park). We encourage everyone to get down there to help us get across thatline, and finish the season in style!

May I also take the opportunity to thank the Friends of Rugby in their last home game of the season, for theirtireless work and support of both the 1st XV and Trinity Rugby in general. Your support does not go un noticed, andwe are most thankful. We wish those parents of the current Year 12 who are leaving, all the best for the future!

Final Score: Trinity 32 defeated Cranbrook 8

Tries: Malachi Hawkes (12WJ), Lachlan Ilias (12Sc), Matthew Yazbek (12Yo), Michael Eid (10Ke), Tom Diiorio-DeDomeneghi (12Yo)

Conversions: Tane Edmed (12Fo) (2)

Penalty Goal: Tane Edmed (12Fo)

2nd XV

With just two CAS rounds left to play, the 2nd XV were eager to register a first win when they matched up againstCranbrook on Saturday 4 August. The catch phrases through the week were memories and momentum. The YearTwelves have been encouraged to make memories as their rugby career at Trinity Grammar School comes to aclose, while the Year Elevens have been urged to seek momentum – grab hold of every opportunity to showcasewhat they can do and stake a claim for selection next season. The team trained with these incentives in mind andwere eager to get a positive result. Cranbrook scored fairly early in the match, putting the 2nd XV under immediatepressure. The team rallied and responded with a try of their own and only trailed by two points, Cranbrook’sconversion having been successful (5 – 7). The match ebbed and flowed, with neither team taking control of thematch or exerting any genuine dominance. It wasn’t until Cranbrook’s second converted try that the match shiftedin their favour. Time was not on the 2nd XV’s side and the final whistle seemed to come all too soon, Cranbrooksealing victory at 14 points to 5. Back-rowers Haydon Johnson (12Ke) and Hugh Stonier (12Ar) wereparticularly productive, while backs Ned Hatton-Ward (12Sc) and Harrison Layton (11Du) were prominent inboth attack and defence. With one round of competition left, the 2nd XV will be keen to end on a high note, makingmemories and gaining momentum in the process.

Neil Smallfield | 2nd XV Coach


3rd XV

Under the leadership and hard-running example of George Fournaris (12Hi), the 3rd XV won their first game ofthe season against a well-regarded team in the CAS competition that has dominated their division, winning most oftheir matches. The 3rds began the game in the usual dynamic fashion, but unlike some of their other games, theymanaged to sustain their momentum and hold their position on the scoreboard ahead of Cranbrook’s 3rds.

The Trinity forward pack dominated all aspects of possession and physicality in the game. Their dedicated andcommitted defence was displayed in the number of first-time-tackles and ball pilfering that occurred in the abrasiverucks. The support for the ball carriers translated into solid platforms for the backs and for Kash Powell (12Ar) toprovide clean and accurate ball to Zachary Lawrence (11Ke), whose preferred position is at centre, but whoplayed a pivotal role at flyhalf. Both Zac and Kash combined to produce a complete game in defence and attack.

The scrums were another area of dominance in the game that saw Wilbur Tsang (12Sc), Nicholas Bouletos(11Mu) and Kai Brand (12Sc) in the front row combine with their second row of support in Harry Tran (11Ta)and Luc Bonnell (11Ar) to drive Cranbrook off their own ball and win possession for blistering counter-attacksfrom the scrum base. Marcus Buvac (12WJ), thankfully recovered from injury and enjoying a return to form,captain George Fournaris (12Hi) and Daniel Minchenko (12WJ), in the back row, continually secured turn-over ball at the rucks, allowing Kash Powell to unleash the straight-running backs in attack.

Alex Tsetong (12WJ) and Thomas Newall (12Yo) together ran havoc in attack in the centres as well as ignitingconfidence in the team through their aggressive and sustained tackling in the mid-field that stopped any ofCranbrook’s attacking attempts through their channels. Fergus McRory (11Du) and Thomas Griffin (11Yo)provided the extra overlap support on the wings when either Alex Tsetong or Thomas Newall broke throughCranbrook’s defence. Timothy Bradfield (11Ar), reliable at fullback, frequently led the counter-attack aftercollecting long-range kicks deep in Trinity’s half. He came close to scoring a full-field try, but was caught short ofthe line. Nevertheless, his blistering run and off-load led to another of Trinity’s tries from Zac Lawrence running asupport line.

Aidan Briscoe (11Du) replaced Marcus Buvac and played a competitive and abrasive game on the flank of thescrum and in the physical contests over the ruck ball. Joe Basta (12Ar) and Jordan Gupta (11WJ), althoughplaying from the bench, demonstrated their reliability in defence by making their tackles on ball runners whomistakenly chose their channels as attacking options.

The players should be congratulated on their fine performance as we all look forward to the final game of theseason on Queen’s Park # 1 Oval this Saturday.

Andrea Folli | 3rd XV Coach

16A

After a strong showing against Knox the previous week, the 16As were positioned well to turn this form into a flurryof points and hopefully a victory against Cranbrook last Saturday. 20 seconds into the game, it looked as thoughthis is exactly what was about to occur, as the boys shifted the ball well from the opening kick-off to take the balldown the field, untouched, to take the lead 7-0. However, Cranbrook soon hit back with damaging runs either sideof the ruck and took away our early advantage.

As the game panned out, Cranbrook emerged as the team who were more physical and composed on the day,doing the simple things right when it mattered most. Trinity showed glimpses of brilliance to score twice more anddominated the lineout all day, but leaked too many points to the opposition early on and weren’t consistentenough to get back in front.

All are looking forward to a strong showing tomorrow in the last game against Waverley

Mitchell Kearsley and Lachlan White | 16A Coaches

16C

With an excellent second half performance against Knox the week prior, the 16Cs were focused on continuingwhere we left off. And we did. The forwards secured possession in the middle so that the backs had plenty of timewith the ball. As a result, Samuel Dennis (10St) and Sanjay Anandarajah (10Du) ran amok. Sam scored threetries and Sanjay electrified the crowd with his chip-and-chase play and his confidence with the ball. Luca Dimeglio(10La) led from start to finish, in his aggression and communication. The forwards really stepped up in the secondhalf and dominated possession; Will Jones (10WH) and Michael Nguyen (10Ar) both scored tries. This was a


well-earned victory for the team.

Matthew Miller | 16C Coach

15A

Trinity arrived in the 2nd minute when they defended their goal line from what looked like a certain try. A gamemarked with spirit and positive attitude, the boys from Trinity played extremely well. Tackles, rucks and runs werestrong all game, but a few lapses kept the score line close. A chip and chase try kept Cranbrook mathematically inthe game, but it was Trinity that was the dominant team. In their best game of the season, it was hard to single outplayers. Hunter Hannaford (9Du) scored three tries which earned him the 3 points, Oscar Van Hal (9Mu) withhis aggression and pilfering got the 2 points and Juno Yim (9Ho) with his strong runs and clean outs earned theone point.

Harry Byrnes | 15A Coach

15B

TGS 15B XV 7 (Maxwell Richards 9Mu) try, Max Ryan (9St) Goal) lost to Cranbrook 41 at Rose Bay.

After a disappointing performance against Knox, it was great to see how the boys responded with an enthusiasticweek of training and everyone turning up ready to play on Saturday. We were a slightly weaker side on paper aftersome withdrawals from the A XV but the buzz prior to kick-off was one of confidence and composure.

We knew Cranbrook would come out hard at us with strong running forwards and big fast centres all taking it inturns hitting it up and looking for gaps.

Overall, our energy was good and our attitude was exceptional. Unfortunately great attitude – if not backed bysound technique – can only take you so far. The constant hard running from the Cranbrook players saw us trying tobring them down with “grabs” rather than solid “hits” with our shoulders and they skipped away to a 2 try lead asthe first half played out.

The momentum was halted briefly with a determined try by the quick-thinking skipper, Maxwell Richards. The trywas converted by Max Ryan and as the half came to a close, we had reason for optimism but our improvedexpectations only made the Cranbrook side lift the intensity once more and we were unable to stay with them inthe second half, even though everyone put in a 100% performance.

One more game left and I am sure the boys are looking to giving a strong performance to finish their season on areally positive note.

John Hurley | 15B Coach

15C

The 15Cs played a game of 10-a-side against Cranbrook on Saturday. While they started slowly, letting in 31 pointsin the first 20 minutes, the final half was one of their best performances all season. Towards the end of the first halfthe defence improved, stopping the flow of tries. At half-time the discussion was about continuing this positive playand aiming to win the second half, which they did. The boys worked together as a team, with a number of offloadsand great passes leading to the three tries, all scored by Sam Nasr (9WJ). Chris Esposito (9Ke) and TimMcRae (9Mu) made a number of line breaks and Evan Williams (10We) was dominant at the breakdown. Thefinal score was 43-19 to Cranbrook, but the boys are to be congratulated on a second half win!

Marian Dunbar | 15C Coach

14A

The 14As ventured to Hordern Oval on a beautiful sunny day. The Trinity men worked hard with an improved effortat the breakdown. Consecutive penalties allowed Cranbrook to enter Trinity’s half and pressured the try line.Although it was quite an even match up with Cranbrook, Cranbrook capitalised more of their opportunities thanTrinity, with the final result being 5-29. Although a loss, credit must go to the whole 14A squad for their defensiveeffort throughout the day as they showed great urgency on their own line, holding up Cranbrook a number oftimes. The development of each player throughout the season is great to see and it is the coach’s hope that everyplayer showcases his growth in the final CAS round against Waverley tomorrow.

The 14Bs’ hard work was rewarded, with a solid victory over in the east, in what was an entertaining game of footy.James Andrews (8La) footwork was scintillating in attack, scoring a hat-trick of tries, with his first coming fromthe kick-off. Jack Barter (8St) and Jacob Anjoul (8La) were hard to contain inside the red zone with bothcrossing the line for five-pointers to see Trinity in a comfortable place at the half up by 19 points (26-7).

After the break both teams began to tire, with plenty of errors creeping into the match, but another lightning runfrom Andrews and Sebastian Sara (8Du) converted his fourth goal to end any chance of a late comeback fromCranbrook. Strong defence from Darcy Mooney (9La), Thomas Mackie (8Fo) and Theo Hatton-Ward (9Sc)provided a strong platform for the Greens to secure a much-needed victory in the backend of the season.

Trinity arrived at Hordern Oval keen to make amends for a poor showing against Knox the previous week. With only9 players present 5 minutes before kick off, things were not looking good. However, some late arrivals saw the sidetake the field with 13 players. Alexander Saba (8WJ) stepped up to help out the Cs and immediately showed hisclass by putting on two tries. Trinity jumped out to a 31-0 lead after Eesa El-Hassan (8We) scored a brilliant tryafter some great lead up work by Mohammed Zaarour (8Sc). Mercurius Yousif (9Sc) was a welcome return tothe team and he was quite devastating in attack. He scored 4 tries and was quite simply, unstoppable! JackHenderson (9He) was also dynamic in attack, scoring 2 tries in his first time playing at fly half. Cranbrook foughtback with a few tries of their own late in the piece, but Trinity scored a resounding victory 60-22.

13A

The 13A rugby team had another encouraging game last weekend against Cranbrook. The boys started the gamewith flair, scoring some entertaining tries early. Clearly a feature of our game that has evolved over the last fewweeks, is our direct running and our ability to transfer the ball quickly through the hands to attack in the newchannel. This was again a highlight of our game against Cranbrook, and noteworthy here is the elusive running ofMalik Amine (7Yo), who turned the defence from left to right, and with one final side step, crossed the try lineuntouched. The tries continued to flow through both halves as the team started to dominate the game. As wehead into our final game this weekend against Waverley, it is important that the boys maintain a focus on lowstrong body height over the ball and proceed to transfer our attacking raid into a new channel with some directrunning.

John Allen and Steven Heanley | 13A Coaches

13B

The 13Bs came up against a strong Cranbrook side on Saturday. The boys played with bravery and respect, comingout on top 24-5. Special mention must go to George Sarandos(7St), who had an outstanding game on the wing.George's ability continues to grow as he takes it upon himself to lead the team in defence and attack. George haslearnt to make effective, chop tackles and run the ball with strong leg drive. As the last week of the CAS competitionapproaches, the 13Bs have placed themselves in a great position to end the season on a high. Best of luck boys!

George Corias | 13B Coach

13C

A potential victory slipped through their fingers for the 13Cs last Saturday. After starting the match with a stunningblast of intensity, driving through the middle of the Cranbrook defence to post a try in the third minute of the game,Trinity went into the half-time break holding a slender four-point lead. However, as has happened on threeoccasions this year, the boys were not able to maintain their intensity into the second half, with Cranbrook comingfrom behind to seal the win. Scott Feng (7Yo), Peter Noah (7Yo) and Liam Sandilant (7Hi) made somedevastating charges with the ball, while Jordan Tang's (8Du) gutsy cover defence proved that when it comes tomaking tackles, the desire to put the man to ground is paramount. Tom Power (7Mu), meanwhile, produced atrue captain's performance, running and tackling himself to an absolute standstill. Well done, skipper.


Aaron Scott | 13C Coach

13D

The pre-game training session/warm up was the most focused of the season so far. The back line was keen to tryout its new structures, and the forwards were looking strong with their tackling. In the first five minutes, familiar tryscorer Max Lusty (7Sc) barrelled through the Cranbrook defence to score under the black dot, with NicholasDasios (7We) easily slotting the extras. Cranbrook were then able to keep the ball for the next 15 minutes or so,going over twice but without conversions. Samuel Foung (7Sc) and Noah Blomfield (7Fo) combined well in thehalves to provide expert ball to inside-centre Angus Jenkins (7Hi) who scored a try off an intercept! But the realhighlight was Trinity’s defence. Having played so many of our matches without confidence in contact, it wasinspirational to see Will Bryan (7Du) and Ali Hijazi (7We) making some skilful and big tackles. With minutes leftin the game Jackson Ghosn (7Ke) ran hard and straight, breaking through the Cranbrook defensive line. But somepoor ball handling saw yet another turn over and it looked likely that Cranbrook would win by five. However, JasonLiu (7WH) and Daniel Koothoor (7Du) were having none of that and won back the ball with some great counterrucking to release a flying George Robson (8He) who scored his second—and game saving—try. In all, a greatgame from the boys—they defended with fire and supported each other going forward.

Football News | CAS Round 9 vs CranbrookCAS Round 9 Vs Cranbrook

On Saturday the 4th of August, Trinity faced off against Cranbrook in Round 9 of CAS. Below are the reports fromthe 1st XI, 2nd XI and Year 7 fixtures. Also below is the report from the Bill Turner Cup and the annual fixturebetween Trinity and Ashfield Police.

1st XI

Saturday saw Trinity Grammar's Year 12 students play their final game on Number 2 oval. Cranbrook got a well-earned 2-0 victory. Despite the disappointment, Trinity relished their last few moments in front of a home crowdand played with spirit until the final whistle. Special mention should go to Alex William (11St) who made apositive impact in the midfield. Alex gave Trinity's home crowd a taste of his fitness, skill on the ball and work ethic;all aspects that make him an exciting prospect for the future. Both Roberto Olles (12Ar) and Kevin Cloke(11Du) were solid in defence, making numerous key challenges from defence and midfield respectively.

Jeremy Adams (12Fo)

2nd XI

The Open 2nd Football team started strongly with attacking play only to be down a goal after six minutes and downby two goals at half time, which ended up the final result. Player of the match for Trinity was Sohum Salgaonkar(11Ar) who produced a non-stop running game in the midfield and was well supported by Dillion Srikumar(11WJ) with both players having their best game of the season. Up front Sam Yip (12La) and Sam York (11Hi)had the best opportunities to score for Trinity. Hopefully, tomorrow the team can get back to scoring goals andfinish the season with their third win!

Mark Mikulandra | 2nd XI Assistant Coach

7A

Heading into the final home fixture of the season, the 7As were determined to continue their unbeaten run. Fromthe first whistle Trinity demonstrated intent to keep possession and Chimnay Gaikaiwari (7Fo) was immense inthreading some precise passes. Despite many chances the Cranbrook goalkeeper was formidable, meaning thescore remained 0-0 at half time. With focus on creating more combination play at the break, the 2nd half saw morechances for Trinity. Finally, Harry Hindle (7WJ) opened the scoring with a clinical striker’s effort. Shortly afterOscar Fryer (7Ta) and Jacob Christou (7St) also found the back of the net with impressive finishes. The side iscontinually developing and ahead of a premiership clash away at Waverley this week, the boys are eager to top offa fantastic season.

Zac Galluzzo | 7A Coach

7B

After a narrow hard-fought loss against Knox the 7Bs were ready to get back to winning ways. Going 1-0 downpresented itself to be hardly a challenge to overcome as Alessandro Delgado (7St) and Sami Nasr (7Mu)scored two quick-fire goals before closing the half at 2-1. Into the second half the boys showed a hunger andaggression to come out on top, with John Hrsto (7St) and Shivam Wadhera (7Ke) putting 2 goals away earlyand Sami Nasr after scoring his first competitive goal for Trinity, earning a second half brace to completely his HatTrick. Final Result 6-1 Win.

William Piras | 7B Coach

7C

This was very much a game of two halves. While the first half ended with Trinity in the lead thanks to scorerMarcus Lorenzato (7Fo), the half was played in a far from convincing manner: too many Trinity players werechasing the ball rather than playing their positions. The second half was an entirely different matter, with LucaRatnavadivel (7Du) and Thomas Ferguson (7We) using their respective wings superbly to open up the game.The whole half can best be summed up in one passage of play. William Nice (7Ke) passed from left back to JamieKim (7Ke) in the centre midfield, who in turn found Thomas Ferguson (7We) on the left wing; his wonderful


cross was finished by striker Benjamin Schutte (7WJ). That one passage typified so many others and resulted ina well-deserved 3:0 win.

Terry Haywood | 7C Coach

7D

In our previous encounter with Reddam House, the 7D football team sustained a 2-0 defeat. This time around, ourpre-game preparation made all the difference. During the last few games the team has played well withoutachieving the required results, due to poor finishing. However, on Saturday it all came together. The defence wasbrilliant, especially in the second half. Joseph Catania (7St), Benjamin Kwan (7He), Denis Petrides (7Yo),Christian Pulley (7Fo) and Jason Wang (Ar) ran and fought for every ball. They continuously covered for eachother, blocked shots and placed pressure on the opposing forwards. Kian Guildea (7Du) in goals, also had a greatgame, pulling off some difficult saves. Two first half goals set the foundations for the result. Oliver Stubbs (7Ho)was at the right place to slot the ball past the keeper and Adam Bahmad (7Ho) hammered the ball into the top ofthe net. All the boys should be proud of their effort and commitment and fully deserve their 2-1 victory.

Steven Vazouras | 7D Coach

7E

The 7Es were looking to bounce back from a tough last fixture loss against a strong Reddam House team in thepenultimate game of the 2018 season. Trinity’s fast start and early pressure was rewarded with Ty Garaci (7Ho)scoring off a rebound from a corner for his first of the season. Trinity maintained this dominance throughout thehalf, but a lapse in concentration saw the scores level at the interval. Trinity continued to pressure the oppositiondefence and benefited from an indirect free kick from Ari Tashtan (7Ke) to retain Trinity's lead. Special mentionmust go to Alexander Ko (7We), who was terrific in defence and Oscar Favelle (7Mu), who controlled themidfield soundly to grind out Trinity’s 2-1 win, setting up for a tough final game against Waverley.

Michael Dutton | 7E Coach

7F

Trinity played Cranbrook Grammar School at 10am on Saturday morning at Flockhart Oval. Trinity opened stronglywith Xavier Hatcher (7Ke) keeping the backline in check. However, two unlucky bounces led to Trinity concedingtwo goals in quick succession. Finley Ross (7WH) played extremely well, locking down the middle of the parkand playing some killer passes through to a well-structured frontline. Trinity had a number of tantalising chances,but unfortunately none were able to be converted onto the score sheet. The remainder of the game was a constanttussle between both sides, with Peter Michalos (7Fo) and Giancarlo Vari (7Ke) playing an important role inmanaging the flow of the game. Trinity lost 2-0.

Ryan Maranik | 7F Coach

7G

The 7s displayed progress in positional formation, set plays and defensive structures. Ari Guan (7Du) wasimpressive, leading from the centre-back position together with Andy Wu (7We), Mike Tingyu (7Sc) andIoannis Giannkopolous (7Sc) providing an impenetrable line of defence. The team were attacking for themajority of the game and both Sean Hanrahan (7Du) and Zane Nazha (7Mu) created several opportunities upfront while pressing the opposition’s defensive line. Unfortunately, we could not capitalise on our dominance toclinch the win, but it was a dominant performance for the team nonetheless, with the final result a scoreless draw.

Seamus Rodden | 7G Coach

7H

Trinity’s 7Hs played against Cranbrook High School last weekend, the teams’ efforts across the field unfortunatelynot reflected by the score line. Getting off to a rocky start conceding 2 early goals in the first half was not an idealposition to be in. However, despite the early set back, Miles Angus (7WH) stepped up and took charge of ourdefence line as we managed to keep Cranbrook scoreless for the remainder of the first half. After a few tactical andpositional changes to the squad at half time, Trinity began to gain some momentum up front through Lachlan Van(7Ho) and Ethan Harricks (7We), who came close to scoring on numerous occasions. This momentum, however,


was shattered as we conceded a penalty which was put away neatly by Cranbrook.

Bill Turner Cup

After being successful in the first two rounds of the Bill Turner Cup, Trinity embarked on their challenge againstrivals Bossley Park. In the past several years, the team that had beaten Bossley, went on to be victorious in theoverall Cup. With stakes high and pressure building early into the term, the boys were set to make history andovercome a difficult obstacle. Positive vibes on the bus and a confident warm up set the stage for what promised tobe a classy football game.

Trinity started off very confidently. However,quick counter attacks and midfield dominance from Bossley Parkallowed them to control the pace and flow of the game. A good build-up play, a nice touch and a clinical finish fromthe opposition striker put Bossley Park in front early in the first half. Although a definite set-back for the green andwhite, Sebastian Boffa (9Yo) was able to continually surge through the Bossley defence, creating chances andputting Trinity on the front foot, trailing by one only goal at half time.

In the immediate stages of the second half, Bossley were able to clinically finish, and score from the penalty spot,putting them up by two. Yet, Trinity still continued to fight hard and with the skill of Tom Stobierski (9WJ) wasable to create goal scoring opportunities. A few great saves from the Bossley goalkeeper stopped Trinity fromgetting back into the contest, and with a relatively late third goal, the game was almost over. With 10 minutes togo, Trinity kept fighting hard, managing to get back one goal, but it was too little, too late, with Bossley Parkwinning the Sydney Central Final 3:1. Nevertheless, well done to the boys, who put up a fighting effort and did notgive up and should therefore keep their heads held high. Congratulations also to Bossley Park ,who played verywell and thoroughly deserved the win.

The boys and I are also very grateful for the opportunity to compete in such a tournament and would also like tothank Mr Galluzzo and Mr Gray for their continuous support and guidance throughout. Good luck to the Bill TurnerCup team next year, which hopefully sees a different side to the competition.

Ashfield Police


On Tuesday a mixture of the Year 12 football cohort joined forces to face the Ashfield Police team on Number 2.The boys in blue looked to be the fittest team played in the five years of this fixture, and Trinity did not fail tonotice this daunting fact. Trinity begun with a risky 3-3-4 line-up in the hopes of getting an early goal, as we sawoutstanding athleticism from Alex Ciarroni (12WJ) on the left wing running in between Ashfield’s defence. Anunusual role reversal occurred as the 1st XI goalkeeper Zac Kapetanellis (12Ke) was placed in at striker to beginthe game, having many chances but missing the goal by mere centimetres. In Zac’s place in the goals was AngusClark (12WH), enforcing his dominance over the usual enforcers of Ashfield. On the right wing, LachlanFerguson (12St) had a solid chance at goal from a through ball from Koray Cankurt (12WH), but unfortunatelywas not successful. In the dying minutes of the match, Jeremy Adams (12Fo) showed exceptional skill, dribblingthrough three of the policeman to lay off a ball for Anthony Grasso (12We), who sent the ball arcing into the air,dropping behind the keeper to win Trinity the game 1-0. For the 5th year, Trinity takes home the shield in anenjoyable game, where our gratitude goes to the Ashfield Police station for continuing to compete in a sportsman-like and gracious fashion.

NSW U13 Primary Schools Futsal Championships

Trinity travelled out to Penrith early on Tuesday last week morning for the NSW U13 Primary Boys Schools FutsalChampionships. The squad was selected from the Year 3-6 Co-curricular Football programme that trains of aMonday before school on TGS 2. Trinity’s first game was a very tough one, up against King Park PS. A slow start ledto a disappointing loss. However, Trinity bounced back in the second game against Clovelly PS with a big 4-2 win,thanks to two goals from Marcus Kekatos (5Ar) and impressive performances from Luke Gergis (5Fo) andChase Quach (6Ar). The boys came out firing in a crucial third match, up against Pacific Hills Christian School.This early dominance resulted in a 1-0 lead with a goal from Anthony Antoniou (6Fo) and tireless hard work fromOscar Narvaez (5La), but Trinity failed to capitalise on their chances, going down 2-3 in the end despite a greatindividual goal from Tom Bishop (5Yo). The men in green still had hope of qualifying for the knockout stages asthey entered the final group game hungry for a win. An early lapse in concentration saw Trinity go down 0-1 butthey were soon to bounce back an find a goal of their own, with Kiran Silva (5Sc) showcasing a gutsy defensiveperformance. Dominic Peric (6Ar) and Oliver Peric (5Ar) both led the team to a tight 1-1 draw, displayingstrong performances in this game. Mitchell Reid-Queeney (6Yo) was a rock in goals making numerous savesthroughout the day to keep the ball out of the back of the net. Thank you to Mr James Bremner for his support atthe Championships and well done to all boys on their effort and performance.

AFL vs NewingtonExpectations are powerful forces in life and equally in sport. Numerous psychological studies have shown that ifyou give participants a choice of two identical wines to taste but label one $14 and the other $70, participants willswear the $70 glass is superior in every way. Expectations guide behaviour and we saw that this weekend.

Having played and won a lop-sided Friday night game a full year ago, perhaps we expected this game would be thesame.

It was clear on the bus down to this occasion that these expectations were making us confident, too confident.These expectations shaped our warm up which lacked the precision and intensity of our usual standards. Theseexpectations shaped our adherence to team rules and structures which led to a 4 goal deficit at half time.

We expected to win and therefore did none of the work required to make it happen.

Every loss is a lesson but if we learn from these, then there are no failures.

As coaches, we too had expectations. At quarter time we expected our boys to respond, and they did. We expected(nay implored them) to tackle with their arms and shoulders instead of hands, and they did. We expected the lesserexperienced players to work their way into the game and Julius Blum (12Ar), Seamus O’Connor (10Ho),George Morgan (11Fo) and Alex Cameron (11WH) did exactly that. I don’t remember a single ruck Tap beinglost by Alex throughout the entire game. His improvement this year has been incredible.

The half time mantra was “pressure” and whilst we applied a much improved level of pressure, led by AniketSharma’s (12Ta) intensity in attack and defence, Newington rose to the challenge.

The heat of the contest found its way into our legs as cramps, injury and exhaustion set in toward the end of thethird term but it did not stop Seamus and Monty Hannaford (12Du) providing plenty of gut-running.

The final quarter gave us some relief as Finn Ritchie (12Ke) and Brad Uglow (12He) broke our drought bykicking three goals to “win” the final quarter.

In the end it wasn’t enough to beat a superior Newington side.

It has been said “Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat him as he could and should be, he willbecome as he could and should be”.

Our boys should always expect we will take what we learnt from Friday night and apply it to training this week,making our team what it should and could be....even with only one week remaining. Especially because there isonly one week remaining.

Tennis Results | Saturday 4th August 2018Division 1

Nicholas Field (11WH) carried the Green Flag on his lonesome on Saturday, with his partner being absent. Thisdid not result in forfeited matches, though, as the new rules stipulate that the doubles matches be played in a 2-on-1 format if only one team member is present. This was an arduous task for Nicholas as he competed against someof the best schoolboy tennis players in Australia, but he held his own, playing a gutsy brand of tennis. After beinghanded several tough losses (2-6, 1-6, 1-6, respectively), he stepped on court for his final match knowing that hehad nothing to lose. A series of explosive kick serves coupled with ferocious forehands saw him dominate thisfixture as he walked away with an incredible 6-0 victory. Full credit must be given to Nicholas who played valiantlyand persistently all day to defy the odds.

Division 2

Max Nguyen (8Yo) and Jason Wu (11Ho) teamed up as, in my honest opinion, one of the best doubles pairingsin Trinity’s recent history. Despite two very different styles of play, the energy and determination of these twoyoung men is something that they share when they compete. Their first set saw them suffer defeat in a very tight3-6 affair, but they used this loss as motivation to bounce back and record an impressive 6-1 victory against acouple of very talented players in their second. Unfortunately, their last match saw them go down to the tune of 2-6 as the conditions got the better of them. Deon Kontonis (9Fo) and Johnathon Karagiannis (11Hi) are easilytwo of the most skilful players in the CAS competition, but they struggled to rely on each other in their doublesfixtures. They were defeated in all of their matches (2-6, 2-6, 4-6, 4-6, respectively) but this should not take awayfrom the incredible shot-making that the pair produced on the day. A bit of finetuning and the establishment ofsome trust within one another will see these boys prosper together as they continue their on-court endeavours.

Division 3

On Saturday morning, Division 3 travelled to Mutch Park Pagewood, where they played their penultimate roundunder an endless procession of low flying jets. Max Knauer (7Ho) and Kevin Lin (9Sc) had a successful morningwinning two of their three matches. They are a well balanced team and each has a bright future in tennis. Theirshots, movement around the court and communication during play are features of their play that are impressive forboys of their age. Tom Jin (10Yo) and David Kim (10WH) also played well during the morning against qualityopposition. They both displayed good technique and won many points through well placed and strongly hit groundstrokes. The boys also served and volleyed well and consistently returned shots that forced their opponents intoerror.

Division 4

Division 4 produced some very entertaining tennis. Ritvik Dinesh (11Ke) and Aidan Tharmarajah (11WH)played delightful shots throughout – the two best being a sumptuous backhand up the line from Aidan and ashowcase half volley from Ritvik. However, the main reason the round was so enthralling was the fact that theirthree matches reflected the full gamut of possibilities. In a very close first set against Barker, twice Trinity wastrailing 30-40 on Ritvik’s serve, and twice he responded to the pressure à la Federer: ace – ace was followed by ace– clean forehand winner. The tighter things got, the better Ritvik and Aidan responded to the pressure. The 6-3victory was very satisfying indeed! In the second match against Knox the boys were up against a pair whom theyhad bested last week. Unfortunately, this time the close points were won by the opposition, and a disappointing 2-6was the result. After two thrillers came the annihilation of St Aloysius’: the final score of 6-0 was a reflection ofTrinity’s dominance. Aidan and Ritvik deserve our warmest congratulations!

Division 5

An overall positive result for the 5th Division with 6 wins amongst the doubles pairings, this round facingcompetition particularly from Barker and Knox. Special congratulations to Jim Gong (9Ar) and Richard Collins(9Mu) for winning all three of their matches. In the second round of doubles the boys should be proud as theirability to work with their partners on the court has significantly improved, and they have shown a strong sense ofteamwork.

Division 6

The 6th Division faced tough competition this doubles round from rival schools Knox and Barker. Although only twoCopyright Trinity Grammar School 2018. All Rights Reserved. 31 of 85

wins were secured, the boys put up a strong contest against their opponents, in hope of securing some late-matchgames, which several times proved successful. The boys can be proud of their efforts this weekend and go into thefinal round as credible contenders against their opponents.

Division 7

Division 7 did very well this weekend even with the tough match ups that they had. James Park (10Yo) and hisdoubles partner Callum Ferguson (10We) did very well considering the odds with cold winds and hard conditions.Both players played some great tennis with some very close calls. James with some great serves alongside Callumwith some great groundstrokes. They were able to win one of their matches over the weekend with two othermatches coming quite close with one match being lost by just one game.

Division 8

Ethan Su (10He) and Justin Yang (9WH) started off the day with two strong wins and a narrow loss to Knox.Ethan and Justin demonstrated great chemistry and perseverance on the court. Liam Ling (9La) and SamVickery (9WJ) had a great weekend winning two of their three matches. Liam and Sam wasted no time indefeating their opponents with aggressive serves and impressive backhands from both players. A Special mentionto Sam for his quick serves in all three games. His serves made it very difficult for his opponents to return the shotswhich gave Liam and Sam many points in return.

Division 9

Gabrielle Peixeiro (7Sc) single handed won all his matches on his own whilst having to verse two opponents inall his matches. This did not phase Gabrielle as he was quick to assert his dominance as soon as he stepped on thecourt. His impressive serves and forehand gave him the upper hand over his opponents who didn’t come close tobeating him. Congratulations Gabrielle on an impressive weekend of tennis!

Martin Wong (8Ta) and Matthew Nicholas (8Yo) were exceptional to watch. The level of chemistry and skilldemonstrated in their three matches was very impressive and promises two great prospects for Trinity’s futuretennis fraternity. Martin and Matthew played very aggressively and played with passion on the weekend. Theyconvincingly won all three of their matches in style. A great combination of teamwork, perseverance, skill anddedication led Martin and Matthew to put on an entertaining and nail-biting three matches.

Division 10

Justin Yang (10Ke) and Christian Nguyen (10Ho) put up a very strong fight narrowly losing three of theirmatches. Justin and Christian displayed great perseverance on the court not giving up when facing a toughchallenge. Justin and Christian will quickly improve this term as the season progresses. Oliver Sun (10Hi) andDev Jaidaka (10La) had a great weekend winning two of their three matches. As soon as Oliver and Dev steppedon the court it was game on. They wasted no time in defeating their opponents with aggressive serves andimpressive backhands. Two players who I believe will develop a lot as the season progresses and are only gettingstarted on their road to success in the CAS tennis season.

Division 11

With beautiful weather shining down on Waverly courts, the boys were eager to put on a tennis masterclass. Thedraw coincidently matched Trinity vs Trinity in the first match, with Daniel Tran (9Ta) and Nikhil Kapoor (9Yo)edging a 6-2 victory over their teammates James Hardiman (8Sc) and Anton Wu (10We). Although closematches, Daniel and Nikhil found it tough to play their second and third fixtures, going down 0-6 and 4-6,respectively. James and Anton however were able to pull through and win their next matches 6-5 and 6-3. I wishthe boys the best in their future games.

Division 12

A pleasant drive down to Waverley meant the boys were in good spirits for their fixtures. This was very apparentwith the undeniable chemistry between both George Nicholas (7WJ) and Alex Runciman (7Yo), pumping eachother up after each point. The boys battled hard and came away with a 6-4 win but were ultimately outdone by a 4-6 and 1-6 loss. Considering their youth compared to their opponents though, Trinity tennis is definitely in goodhands. It was a tough day for Roberto Patterson (10WH) however, having to play by himself and then with a boy


from another school due to a no-show. To give him credit, though, he fought hard and managed a better score eachtime, earning 2, 3 and then 4 games in his three sets. All in all, all the boys did very well, and I wish them the bestin their next fixtures.

Division 13

had a tough weekend but all and all still played some great tennis. The doubles pairing of Nathan Xie (9St) andDylan Lay (9St) played very well over the weekend with Nathan hitting some fantastic serves with some aces andDylan following up with some great groundstrokes and winners to win the majority of their points. Their combinedteam effort allowed them to win all three of their matches with two of them being won flawlessly. Our otherdoubles pairing Daniel Hayes (10He) and Edison Tran (10Ho) also did well over the weekend with Danielhitting some great volleys and follow up shots and Edison hitting some fantastic back to back serves. Even thoughthey were unable to get a win this weekend they had some very close games.

Division 14

played some amazing tennis this weekend with both doubles pairings doing very well. John Varvaris (10Du) andJoesph Coorey (9St) did well over the weekend. The pair were able to win two of their matches with the last onebeing cut short due to time. This was alongside the doubles team featuring James Kaye (8Ho) and Justin Wang(8WJ) playing some fantastic tennis with James hitting some great winner volleys and Justin coming in strong withsome great serves and groundstrokes which made it hard for their opponents to get a point. This made sure that allof their games were won with a large gap with the closest call of the day being 6-3.

Division 15

did quite well over the weekend with some very strong tennis from all our players. Doubles team Leo Tarbox (9Du) and Asher Tarbox (9 Du) had some great team work which was shown through their great communicationon the court. Both of them displaying some very consistent tennis with some strong serves and groundstrokes.Varun Iyer (8 WJ) did well as a solo player this weekend still being able to play some very consistent tennis evenwith the odds stacked against him. He was able to get some very close games with two of them being losses,however he was able to come back very strong with his last match winning 6-0.

Division 16

Jayden Higgins (7He) was the star of the Division last weekend as he remained undefeated after his 3 matches.This was more impressive given the fact that he played without a doubles partner in what is common known as an‘American Doubles’. Jayden swept away all in front of him displaying great shot making and exemplarysportsmanship in an excellent all-round performance at the TTC. The other Trinity team comprising of YounghooCho (8La) and Logan Ng (8WJ) also performed admirably and were able to win 2 of the 3 sets contested.

Division 17

Oliver Smith (7Hi) and Aneesh Nagaratnam (7Yo) combined beautifully and were able to win 2 sets in theirdivision 17 fixture. The one set that they did concede was incredibly close with the pair losing in an extremelycompetitive tiebreaker. Keagan Tran (8WH) without the aid of a doubles partner battled valiantly all day but alascame up empty handed after losing both of his matches.

5th And 6th And The TGS Invitational Teams

20 boys represented Trinity over the weekend for an invitational round against Riverview. Boys ranging from Year 8to Year 12 played two doubles matches each. Playing for pride both schools went out with determination beingeager to win. All boys showed good sportsmanship and great skill in their doubles to prove they have what it takesto make it into the higher ranks of Trinity tennis. The big number in this group was split into two, seniors andjuniors. The junior pairing that performed the best were Curtis Sioulas (8La) and Daniel Lu (8We) and thesenior pairing goes to Darren He (12La) and Marcus Archilles (12St).

Volleyball vs Sydney GrammarTrinity Defeated Sydney Grammar 3-1 (25-21, 23-25, 25-20, 25-18)

And there we have it. In another spectacular game of the highest quality, the Boys in Green have taken downSydney Grammar, their only remaining competition for the premiership, while simultaneously demonstrating theirincredible sportsmanship and athletic ability. With the boys playing at home for the last time this season, and lasttime ever for the team’s Year 12 cohort, the 500-strong crowd again gave the boys the support they needed tofight all the way to the finish and secure the well-deserved victory. In the first set, the team’s big hitters struggledto find a weakness in the opposition’s impressive block, however, impeccable and consistent defence from liberoEliot Kern (12WJ) helped save countless points, providing Trinity with the opportunities they needed to keep theaccelerator on their powerful attack and ultimately win the set 25-21. Nick Tsiakos (11We) also contributed tothis success, utilising his impressive ability to read the block to sneak tips and hits past the opposing hands,winning many crucial points for Trinity. In the second set, the pressure of the game put the boys inside their ownheads, contributing to several errors and silly mistakes that ultimately cost them the set. However, they did notgive up fighting, with reliable serving from Calvin Li (12Ar) securing many points for Trinity, which along with hisfamously-accurate sets gave Trinity the boost they needed to keep pushing, only losing the set by two points at 23-25. The third set saw a boost in morale and on-court energy, with Benny Ouyang (12Ke) gaining point after pointwith his incredible hits and sneaky tips, who along with Alec Mackenzie (11WJ) shut down the opposition attackwith huge blocks. Between these two, almost every Grammar spike was touched by the block, enabling the back-court players to keep defending with ease, leading to Trinity taking the set 25-20. In the fourth and final set,Grammar came out flying, taking an aggressive lead. However, incredible play from Luke Powell (11Ho) helpedsave the set, with his famously-huge spikes finally taking advantage of the weakening Grammar block and hisfeared top-spin jump serve ripping into the opposition defence. This led to Trinity claiming the set 25-18 andthereby winning the game 3-1. All in all, an incredibly-determined effort from all the players on the court, whodespite not playing at their peak due to the building pressure of the game managed to fight on and ultimatelysecure the win, beating Grammar for the first time in two years. I would again like to give special mention to theplayers who did not get much court time, including Charlie Griffith (12Yo), Piers Connolly (12Ar), EarvinDizon (10Ta), Ethan Bateman (10WJ) and Luke Nichol (10He), whose commitment to the team by continuallysupporting and cheering gave the boys on court the motivation they needed to keep pushing and striving for thevictory. History was made this season, with two victories at home against High and Grammar demonstrating theunrivalled power of this memorable team, and as Captain, I could not be prouder of all that we have accomplishedtogether. This is not the final game of the season for this mighty team however, with a last game against Waverleytomorrow to look forward to as a final chance to demonstrate our ability to adapt and overcome together as ateam. Overall, an incredible game and incredible victory for the Boys in Green, with one final challenge standingbetween them and the undefeated premiership.

Trinity Defeated Sydney Grammar 3-1 (25-22, 23-25, 25-18, 25-22)

Being the penultimate match of the 2018 Winter Volleyball season, Trinity eagerly looked to face-off against a teamthat they had been preparing for since the first training session. From the outset, the intensity and communicationwere required to be at an extremely high level for the Greens to establish their initial dominance, whether it wasthrough passing, serving, setting or spiking. However, Trinity were met by a resilient and relentless Grammar side,who looked to always be aggressive, particularly on the attacking side of the game. Inspiring efforts from WilliamXie (12Fo) and James Kern (9WJ) certainly assisted the Greens in establishing an early set lead by stopping atnothing to attempt at combatting the difficult ‘float’ serves that came their way. Andrew Gabriel (11Hi) andJoseph Wang (12WJ) put in their best efforts to capitalise on the favourable opportunities that the Greenssalvaged through clever setting and powerful spiking. As a result, Trinity pushed ahead and managed to edge theGrammar side by a close three points.

The second set was much like the first: high intensity and communication levels saw each side essentially put theirbodies on the line for each point. However, both teams knew that, after testing each other’s abilities in the first set,no point would come easy in the ensuing set. Aiden Yeoh (12Sc) displayed a great deal of resilience inmaintaining a level head and never ceasing to persevere throughout the downfalls of the match. Despite this,Sydney Grammar seemed to make it a point to stop at nothing to square the set score during the latter half of theset. As a result, they managed to rally back from 7 points down to come out victorious, 25-23.

Determined from the heartbreaking second set loss and an inspiring talk from the Trinity coaches, the 2nds wastedno time in regaining their focus and re-adopting a winner’s mentality. As a result, the third and fourth sets showedseveral instances of Trinity playing points as if it were their last. Theodore Vomvellis (11Fo) and EthanGunaratnam (12Ar) were extremely pivotal during the set, displaying clever decision-making through blockingand spiking both outside and in the middle. From the strong team effort and consistent communication that theGreens demonstrated all throughout the third and fourth sets, they were able to come away with two convincingset wins to claim the match. The effort and commitment that these boys implement week in and week out was trulyreflected in this strong victory against the long-standing rivalry of Sydney Grammar. The 2nds will now take this


confidence into their final game of the season, in an attempt to conclude their campaign with a convincing victory.

David Carreon (12St) | 2nd VI Captain

Trinity Lose To Sydney Grammar 1-2 (23-25, 26-24, 7-9)

This was an extremely tight game for the thirds. Lots of really helpful training was done during the week for thegame, and it paid off. There was some very promising setting in the warm up, defiantly intimidating the other team.The first 5 points of the first set were great, but it dropped off from there, with the score being 13-22, a 9-pointdeficit. But as soon as Jack Braga (9Du) and David Gabriel (9Hi) were serving, there was almost nothingstopping them, but due to some difficulties with service reception and complacency, we lost the first set. Thesecond set was almost identical to the first set, except blocking was better, and Mark Makrum (11WJ) had somegreat pick-ups while covering in position 5. Yet again the Thirds found themselves in a sticky situation with thescore at 11-20. Andrew Kim (12We) and our other outsides did some monster hits, really lifting the energy oncourt, although this triumph was short lived. The score was now 17-24, but with a great deal of off-courtsupport, Jack Braga once again helped redeem the team with an incredible serving streak, serving at at least 3aces and brought home the set. During the break between sets, Coach Wheen helped sort out any communicationissues that were stopping the pass from being successful, and told us to keep the energy up regardless of theresult. Unfortunately, the thirds started off the third set poorly, and just as momentum was shifting to Trinity’s side,the whistle was blown, and it was a two-point game their way. The game was lost due to the lack of continuousenergy on court and miscommunication, but it was a great experience playing a tough team, and the Thirdsshowed a great degree of skill in covering, blocking and hustling on defence.

Benjamin Powell (9Ho) | 3rd VI Vice-Captain


Congratulations Dimitri Sidiropoulos

I would like to congratulate Dimitri Sidiropoulos (TGS School Captain 2012) on being the first student in the historyof Trinity Grammar to sign a professional indoor volleyball Contract in Europe (Greece). He started playingvolleyball 8 years ago in Year 9 and wasn't the most naturally gifted athlete. He was however, extremelydetermined and very inquisitive. He asked more questions and sought more feedback than anyone else I havecoached in my 30 years of coaching volleyball. He did all the suggested agility and technical work required toreach the top level in his sport.

Last week he was asked by the Australian Volleyball Federation to train with the National open men's team at theAIS in Canberra where he performed very well.

You may not be aware but volleyball is the 3rd most played sport throughout Europe after Soccer and Basketball soit attracts top tier athletes. It is not easy to compete against athletes from around the world to secure aprofessional contract. This is much harder to attain than a scholarship in America.

This is the ultimate example of someone who was in the right environment and was extremely determined tosucceed in his chosen sport. There were obstacles along the way but Dimitri never gave up and kept on believing inhimself.

We wish him all the best with his new team in Kalamata (southern Greece) and I know that this will be the start of along and prosperous playing career in Europe.

Cross Country | Sydney High InvitationSydney High Invitation, Centennial Park, Saturday 4 August 2018

We were back at Centennial Park last Saturday and pleasingly on a new course around Sydney High’s McKay Ovaland surrounds for, not surprisingly, the Sydney High Invitation. Mr Woods and I were thinking we were looking thestrongest so far this year preceding the meet and our expectations of fine results across all age groups were fullymet and then some!

Our little blokes in the 14s ‘lit the track up’ with some fine times and it was super to see some huge improvementsat the right time of the season – all augurs well for the CAS Champs next week! We had 9 of the top 20 CAS athletesto finish last Saturday in the 14s and these 9 were also inside the combined top 40 of CAS and GPS runners, nearly25% of the field, to do a bit of maths, as the Head Master encouraged us to do on Quad last Monday morn! TheoChristian (9He) went out, possibly a little hard, but hung on to finish a fine 4th. Jack Waide (7Ke) on the otherhand, went out conservatively, and advanced through the field to be a fine 6th. William Cooper (9Hi) alsoimpressed as he was tenacious in 8th and Joey Cantlon (7Du), having possibly his best run of the season so far,completed a fine team win for the Trinity 14s team as he was 10th! Jaden Leung (7Hi) was the next Trinitarianhome as he was 21st and Lewis Potter (8Fo) was outstanding as he nailed a massive PB position by 20 places ashe was 24th! Other notably sweet performances were Dylan Krsnik (7St) 26th, Oscar Martin (8Sc) 35thand Zachary Pliatsikas (8Ho) was 36th.

Our 16s’ team was somewhat depleted with Thomas Virgona (10St), Ethan Brouw (10Ta) and PatrickCantlon (9Du) all running up in the Opens as members of the prestigious CAS Opens Team that took on GPS in theOpen event. More on that later… . Unfortunately for Dylan Offord (10WH), a niggle prevented him fromcompeting as a member of the CAS team in the same event, but no doubt he’ll be part of the action next year! Sowith 4 of our fine athletes missing, one may have concluded we were out of the running for any of the spoils in the16s. This could not have been further from reality! Zac Brown (10Ho) and Logan Kaye (11Ho) took it uponthemselves to lead a Trinity charge in a classic ‘rearguard action’ and prevented the other CAS and GPS Schoolsfrom getting too far ahead of themselves. Zac was a super 4th with Logan not far adrift in 5th! Samuel Xu(10WH)was superb as he was 8th and Bill Zhu (11La) secured an incredible 2nd placing for our 16s’ team as hewas 27th. We have really serious depth!

All Cross Country fans gathered were patiently waiting, with much anticipation and angst, for the Opens race andthe annual CAS v GPS clash. There was much banter pre-race that the result was going to be uber close this yearand no one was disappointed. After a little ‘carry on’ pre-race finished, during which CAS farewelled Cross Countrystalwarts, Mr Chris Van Alphen, who has been looking after the results each Saturday, brilliantly I might add, for thepast 20+ years and Mr Andrew Bohlson, the GPS Cross Country Convenor for the past 8 years, both of whom we willtruly miss, racing got underway. Early speed was nuts as a group of four broke away from the pack, comprising oneCAS and three GPS athletes. There was a cluster of five or so CAS athletes not far behind and things started to lookominous for CAS’ hopes! At no stage did any runner in the front group take a backward step. However, it was theconstant pressure of Drew Fryer from Cranbrook up front that eventually wore down his GPS combatants. He wassuperb as he secured a fabulous win for himself and the CAS team. The next three runners home were from GPS. So with four runners having completed the course the score was CAS 1, GPS 9. A tad scary as the lowest cumulativescores wins the event and with one more high placed GPS runner, the event was theirs! CAS fans, inparticular Benjamin Bishop (11Hi) and I, were busy doing maths as we spectated and yelled considerableencouragement at all CAS athletes, as it was still mathematically possible that CAS could prevail. Next home wasThomas Virgona, soon to be followed by Ethan Brouw both looking ok in ‘CAS Red’, though both still look more ‘athome’ in ‘Trinity Green’! So now with six athletes finished it was CAS 12, GPS 10; GPS still in command! Next homethough was Ben Revai from Cranbrook and CAS now moved to 19 points and their total was complete. Theinteresting rule in the event is that even though the positions of the 5th and 6th runner from each association donot have their positions added to the team total, the positions count! So, Bish and I were going nuts as we realisedthat the next two runners coming into view were Charles McGrath from Waverley and our own Patrick Cantlon, CASwere well and truly in it! Patrick held off the 4th-placed GPS runner and with both teams having four runners home,the score was, insanely, ‘all locked up’ on CAS 19 : GPS 19. It was only three years ago in 2015 when this eventwas also tied and as much as I was dismayed at the ‘cobwebby old GPS by-law, rule’, whatever you want to call it,back then, it was ever-so-present in the front of our minds! The position of the highest placed 4th runner fromeither team would decide the result! Bish and I knew too well that it was Ben Revai from Cranbrook in 7th that wasCAS’ 4th runner and the GPS’ 4th runner was 10th! We were now rejoicing at the rule that had been such a bitterpill to swallow back in 2015! What a fabulous day of Cross Country action at Centennial Park! As much as it is easy,from a Trinity point of view to praise Patrick, which he fully deserves, holding off the 4th placed GPS runner, thevictory firmly lies at the feet of the stellar win from Drew Fryer from Cranbrook! Nice! Lelland Hui (12Fo) alsowas a member of the victorious CAS team and Jonno Batson (12WH) was our 4th runner home in the TrinityOpens’ team. BTW: Trinity won, emphatically, the teams event in the Opens on the day!

Mr Woods Harriers of the Week: Lewis Potter, Zac Brown and Patrick Cantlon.

The CAS Championships are on tomorrow at Sydney Park. We are a huge chance in all age groups! Racingcommences later than usual at 10am to avoid a clash with the local Park Run. Try to be there by 9am as parking isnot going to be pleasant! My suggestion for parents is to park a few streets away and walk in! If the younger AgeGroups are able to stay around and cheer on the Opens’ runners tomorrow it would be appreciated. There is also a


brief presentation following the Opens’ race that it would be good for us to be at in number. Details for the CASCross Country Championships can be found here.

Good running,

Cross Country | Bay RunThe Iron Cove Bay is one of Sydney’s most picturesque harbourside locations and every year on the first Sunday ofAugust it plays host to The Bay Run. This run is a relatively flat course along a very open bicycle path which isfantastic for running fast. Old Boy Tom Do Canto (‘03) is a testament to just how fast you can go, smashing thecourse record in 2016 running 20 minutes and 19 seconds. For those who cannot grasp how fast this is, it isapproximately 20km/hr. This race has always held a special place in the hearts of the Cross Country team as Trinityhas always had great success here with many individual top 5 and top 3 places, as well as multiple team event winsover the course of the last 20 years. Not to mention an entire season of running the Bay once a week in training.This is Cross Country’s spiritual home!

The race started at 8am on Sunday 5th of August and if you could tell how fast a race was going to go by theweather it was going to be a cracker. Lining up on the start line were some very familiar, if not formidable faces,with Barker Old Boy Kieran Tall, Sydney High Old Boy Jayden Schofield, and talented Newington athlete Angus Beerlooking to take charge. For those in the know it was not surprising to see them crossing the finish line in that orderto place 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

The surprises for Mr Spratt and me came from the contingent of Trinity boys as they flashed past us to the finishline. Thomas Virgona (10St) led the Green and Whites home in a very comfortable 22 minutes and 9 seconds.This by far the fastest Trinity School boy time we have ever seen in this race, let alone for a Year 10 boy. PatrickCantlon (9Du) was the next Trinity athlete to pass us, with El Capitan Jonno Batson (12WH) hot on his heels.Much to our surprise Jonno got the better of Patrick by 4 seconds, finishing in 22 minutes and 36 seconds. Closingout the team component for Trinity in 23 minutes and 7 seconds was Theo Christian (9He), who is looking morecomfortable each week. Special mention should go to our two youngest team members, Jack Waide (7Ke) andJoseph Cantlon (7Du), who showed they were not afraid to step up and take on the older team members. Jack,who is now the fastest Year 7 boy in a time of 23 minutes 14 seconds, placed 18th overall, while Joseph finished ina very handy 25 minutes 58 seconds to place 46th overall. The full team result can be seen below.

At the start of the day there was a bit of interest in who would win the team event this year and with such a youngTrinity team and the fact we didn’t have our normal superstar Old Boys, we were relegated to the long shotcategory. However, by the time the race had concluded, we were within striking distance. There was an air ofanticipation as the boys waited around for the results to be announced. Slowly yet surely the announcer, with his MrSpratt-inspired dad jokes, went through the categories. After about 20 minutes he finally announced that the teamfrom Trinity Grammar School was victorious, with an accumulated time of 1 hour 30 minutes and 33 seconds.

It was a fantastic Sunday out with a perfect blend of friendly rivalry, healthy competition and, most importantly, funand mateship. I look forward to seeing what the CAS Cross Country Championships bring tomorrow. If you get achance, come and support the Cross Country team at Sydney Park tomorrow. Racing begins at 10am.

After last year’s emphatic victory over Barker, this year we will be aiming to win three years in a row, which equalsour best result at the CAS Championships in Trinity’s history. For almost a decade Trinity and Barker have beenneck and neck for the prestigious CAS Championships, but this year Knox will be very competitive as well. Manyathletes have trained tirelessly throughout the year, rain, hail or shine, in preparation for the big day on September20. I also realise the Track and Field season falls within a very busy period of the School calendar. It is vitallyimportant that all athletes incorporate a healthy balance between work, rest and training in their weekly schedules.Athletes should not hesitate in seeing me if they are having any difficulties with their training program orcompetition schedule.

Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to the boys who commit to this year’s Track and Field season, and Ihope that you are able to challenge the limits of your athletic potential. For me, working with students to find apassion for the sport of Track and Field is just the start of a journey that opens up unlimited potential to dream andbelieve the impossible. Why can’t you be the best possible version of yourself and make the impossible possible?Train hard and dream big - it’s our time to shine and retain the Andrew Reid Cup. Most importantly, we mustcontinue to be the best team we can be! Dream it, believe it, set your goals and you can achieve it!

Andrew Murphy | Director of Track and Field | Athletic Development and MIC of Track and Field


How quickly the year speeds past! Track and Field is upon us once again, and in the rather short season much hasto be done! It is hoped that our candidates will not be as forgetful as the Athlete in this poem, but rather will bediligent and consistent and dedicated, truly giving of their all in the coming few weeks in the mighty tradition of ourTrack and Field representatives, to whom we wish every success in all aspects of their preparation for the comingcompetition!

With apologies to Gilbert and SullivanFor tune Google Willow Tit Willow

At the start of a race track a young athlete sat,

Sing of jumping, and leaping and running!

And I said to him, “Athlete, why sigh you like that,

Sing of throwing and putting and hurdling,

Are you not to run hard for your wonderful School,

Have you damaged your muscles, or are they too cool?”

He replied, “Without track shoes I feel such a fool,

Singing strongly of all things athletic!

“Oh, see! Mr Murphy approaches me now”,


“He does not expect me to fuss anyhow”,

Sing of throwing and putting and hurdling.

“What is it,” says Murphy, “that troubles you sore?

Just think of the training that you’ve done before,

Your mum’s brought your track shoes, now go out and score”,


He leapt to his feet as his chest swelled with pride


“I can now run my heart out and say that I’ve tried”,

Sing of throwing and putting and hurdling,

“For my School is deserving of my very best,

And I’ll run, jump and hurdle to outdo the rest,

Bringing honour and fame to my School in the west”,


And up in the stands all his Schoolmates will cheer,

Each valiantly rising up to this great test

To win for his School being each one’s sole quest,


Then there’s the Murphies and Stenhouse and Collins and Spratt,

Chess NewsTrinity Vs Sydney Boys High School

Last Friday, the Senior Trinity team for the NSW Junior Chess League played in the semi-final against Sydney BoysHigh School. After coming first in our division, we alongside Sydney Boys, Sydney Technical and Sydney Grammarall made it into the finals, meaning that we were the only non-selective school to make it to the finals. Going upagainst a team that had won all but one of their 28 boards meant that this match was always going to be a verytough one. In the end, the score was 2.5 to 1.5 in favour of Sydney Boys. Although we were not successful inmaking it into the grand final, they still ended up losing more boards to us single-handedly than they didthroughout the whole 7-round division playoffs!

Congratulations to Nick Field (11WH) for achieving a win and Alex Williams (11St) for securing a draw! Specialmention, however, is needed for Kevin Cloke (11Du) for playing such an intense and even-sided game whichcould’ve gone either way and was completed with minutes to spare. Overall, I’m incredibly proud of the team forwhat we managed to accomplish throughout the season. I can also say that since this will be my final ever JCLseason since playing from Year 5 onwards, this team and season is easily the most memorable one!

Trinity Vs Sydney Grammar

After coming First in the zone, the Intermediate team proceeded to the metropolitan east semi-finals where theyfaced the formidable Sydney Grammar. It was an intense hour of strategy and mental calculation and unfortunatelyTrinity went down 0.5-3.5.

Commendations to Selwyn Chang (10Ar), who played a gruelling match against a higher-rated opponent andedged a positional advantage with good attacking chances, but had to be satisfied with a draw. Matthew Chen(9He), although narrowly losing, is also to be recognised for his ever-improving game. Michael Lin (10Fo) andTom Jin (10Yo), despite being defeated, also played solidly.

Overall, it was enjoyable and challenging, competing in this year’s secondary school league. It certainly taught us alot about the micro-aspects of the game in terms of tactics and positional play and macro-aspects in terms ofmindset and attitude. The season has also served as solid preparation for next year’s CAS and A. J. Rae Shieldtournaments. Even though we lost, experiences such as this one are humbling, reminded us that we are notinvincible, and with a growth mindset, failures will lead to improvement.

Debating | CAS Week 1 vs KnoxFriday the 27th of July marked the beginning of the new CAS season. During a meeting on a Friday lunch, the Trinityteams, in the Latham Theatre, were inspired by the successful season of 2004, wanting to repeat a similar, if noteven better season this year. With great successes in the FED and ISDA tournaments, the best in 6 years, Trinityentered the CAS competition full of confidence. They strive ultimately to secure the CAS debating trophy onceagain, marking their 2nd win overall. The success of our teams in the FED and ISDA truly is a testament to theirtenacious spirit and energy. The topic area for the debate was regarding education. The first debate was againstKnox Grammar School, and despite a bus breakdown, Trinity still got there in one piece. Out of 12 debates , Trinitywon 5. The 8B, 9B, 3rds, 1sts and 4ths all were successful. The 7A, 7B, 8A, 9A, 2nds, 10A and 10B had unfortunatelosses. However, we still need to acknowledge the Seniors who performed admirably and carried us on hard-fought debates. All teams worked extremely hard across year groups, to be victorious.

CAS Debating Week 2 Against Cranbrook

Week 2 of the CAS Debating round saw the first-ever debating pizza night, which served three distinct purposes. First, it was put in place in order to create a better sense of community within the Debating Society, by providingthe opportunity to share a meal together before a big night of debating. Second, it was believed that it couldpotentially lead to a better debating culture, providing debaters with something to look forward to before theactual debate starts. Third, most obviously, the pizzas filled all the debaters up, preventing them from goinghungry and allowing them to debate with full stomachs! In terms of the debates themselves, the Year 7 teams bothexperienced losses for a consequent week. I encourage them to not be disheartened by these results, and to workclosely with their coaches to ensure greater success in the last three rounds of the season. Moreover, we saw winsin the 8B, 9A, 10B, ultimately leading Trinity to tie with Cranbrook, 6-6. Special mention must go to the Opensteams, who have now won 6 out of 8 debates to start the season. Finally, we appreciated the presence of theHeadmaster on Friday night, and his support for the Debating Society is always warmly welcome. Let’s stayfocused as we look towards Waverley this week.

It provides an easy-to-read overview of industryand occupation trends in the labour market, and is designed to meet the needs of students, career advisers, peoplelooking for work and those involved in the national employment service, jobactive.

This year’s edition has identified four key trends:

Labour market conditions are strong — employment is up by a robust 403,300 over the year toJanuary 2018.Young people are benefiting from the strong labour market conditions — industries with large numbers ofyoung workers include Retail Trade (around 386,000), Accommodation and Food Services (385,000) andConstruction (175,000).Australia’s industry structure is changing — today, more than three in every four Australian workersare employed in a service industry, with much of the growth driven by Health Care and SocialAssistance.There are now more jobs for higher skilled workers — the majority of employment growth over the pastfive years has been in occupations that generally require post-school qualifications, and this trend is likely tocontinue.
