HEAD MASTER'S BULLETIN | FRIDAY 17 AUGUST 2018

NEWS & NOTIFICATIONS

From the Head MasterEarlier this year I commissioned an external agency to conduct a parent satisfaction survey. My goal in doing sowas to assist me in understanding the School through the lens of the parents. As you are aware, there are othermeans that I have been using to understand the School through different lenses. More than one thousand of ourfamilies participated in the survey, which is more than half of our community. The responses were proportionatelydistributed across our campuses and we can have confidence that they provide us with an accurate reflection ofour parents’ thinking.

Overall, the responses were very encouraging, affirming the positive regard in which the School and its life are heldby our families. The full report provided to us runs to more than 300 pages. There are two implications. The first isthat it will not be possible to unpack the feedback fully in this forum. The second is that it will take the leadership ofthe School some time to explore, consider and act on the feedback received. The School Executive have spentsignificant time as a team reflecting on the overall results, and are in the midst of considering the feedbackprovided with their various teams. The Council of Trinity Grammar School will also be engaging with the feedbackfrom parents, and the planned responses, over the coming months. The feedback will be significant in shaping theSchool’s priorities as we move forward.

In providing some summary slides below, and some commentary, it is important to remember that this data speaksto parent satisfaction, not to an objective measure of performance or to compliance to an external standard.

I apologise for the level of detail in the attached slides; however, they are in a high-resolution format and I trustthat you will be able to zoom in to make sense of them. For this reason, they will be best viewed on screen, ratherthan on paper.

The message of this slide is that parent satisfaction overall is strong. The small variations in relative scores point toareas for further exploration and consideration, which is the process that is currently underway. As those who tookpart will be aware, the survey consisted of detailed questions and the results are able to be interrogated to somedepth. In addition, the open-ended comments throughout the survey provide further insight into the perspectives ofthe participating parents.

This second slide provides some perspective into the numbers by providing a benchmark generated by theconsultant’s work with multiple similar schools; that is, large independent K-12 schools for boys. Again, thefeedback compares positively to the experience of parents in other similar schools, although the variations – bothpositive and negative – give us areas for further consideration and action.


This third slide reveals the factors that led families to choose Trinity Grammar School for their son. The factors atthe top are evidently the most important. The following slide indicates the degree to which these expectations havebeen met or exceeded.

Again, the variances point us towards areas for further improvement or consolidation, and the comparison to thebenchmark helps to affirm the overall experience.

Finally, at this point, I want to point you towards the final question of the survey, which asked what parents valuedmost about the School. While there were some variations for the different ages of the students concerned, theconsistent theme in the open-ended comments was how much parents valued high-quality teaching staff, abalanced education, and high-quality pastoral care.

Please be assured that your feedback will continue to be a focus of the School leadership team as we reflect on theCopyright Trinity Grammar School 2018. All Rights Reserved. 3 of 80

priorities for the School in the years ahead. We continue to appreciate your confidence in us to partner with you inthe education of your sons.

Academic Focus | Learning and EngagementIt has become common place to talk about the importance of engaging young people in learning, but it is perhapsequally as common to find very different ideas about what engagement actually means, and who is responsible forit.

The Organisation for Economic and Cultural Development (OECD), the leading body in global educational researchsuch as PISA and a range of learning innovation projects, talks about emotion and motivation being the gatekeepersto learning engagement:

‘Motivation ensures that students acquire knowledge and skills in a meaningful way. Like emotion, the presence ofpositive emotion towards a learning task markedly increases the likelihood that students will engage in deeplearning. Helping students become aware of their motivation systems and how that influences learning leads tothem becoming more effective learners … teachers should provide time, space and support for students to reflecton the learning strategies they have used and how these have affected what they have learned.’

Motivation and reflection then, might be considered important aspects of the concept of ‘engagement’.

Professor Andrew Martin’s work on the Motivation and Engagement Wheel is another helpful way to understandstudent engagement, and one that we make use of at Trinity. All our boys complete the Motivation andEngagement Scale regularly across their time in the Primary, Middle and Senior Schools. This framework identifiesfactors such as self-belief, learning focus, planning, task management and persistence as positive attributes forengagement: when we can foster these dispositions within students we are again setting them up to be successfullearners in moments and periods of challenge.

Yet another framework developed by researchers such as Professor Ruth Deakin Crick at the University ofTechnology, Sydney identifies the following qualities as central to engagement: curiosity, creativity, belonging,collaboration, mindful agency and openness to change. Of these, mindful agency, or the capacity to deliberatelyreflect, set goals and strategise critically, is understood as key. This framework is named ‘CLARA’ standing for CrickLearning as Resilient Agency. Here is another important clue to what we mean by engagement: it must be acapacity that students are empowered to develop themselves. Professor Deakin Crick argues that engagementcannot be imposed upon learners; rather, it is best understood as a kind of energy that a student chooses tomobilise, and can successfully mobilise, because they understand the strategies they have developed forthemselves and can use them in a diverse range of learning situations.

Engagement for learning, then, is more complex than completing set work or studying hard or even the notion of‘effort’, although undoubtedly these factors are significant pointers towards what we mean by engagement. It isalso quite different to any kind of short lived interest students might display in a novel idea or piece of technology.Importantly, engagement is also much less about teachers and much more about learners themselves. Teachers’responsibilities are about making explicit the kind of dispositions and skills required by different learning demands,as well as the provision of opportunities to learn about oneself as a person who makes choices to deliberatelymobilise the capacities they possess.

One of the important questions being addressed through our Assessment and Reporting Review is about the waysin which we can provide feedback on the progress our students are making in their ability to engage with theirlearning. How can we make transparent to boys what it means to be an engaged learner at Trinity? How might wemake visible and celebrate their progress in developing these dispositions and skills? How might we include ourstudents’ own reflections on their engagement and listen to the goals they are setting for themselves? How can weacknowledge boys who deliberately approach their learning in ways that demonstrate this kind of engagement?

Deep engagement in learning is a function of a complex combination of learners’ identities, dispositions, values,attitudes and skills. When these are fragile, learners struggle to achieve their potential in the classroom and inassessment, and critically, are not prepared for the novelty and complexity of the challenges they will meet beyondschool. Conversely, when learners are expected and supported to be focussed, responsible, reflective, set goals,take responsibility and deliberately mobilise the skills required to master often difficult learning situations, they arefully ‘engaged’.

NAPLAN Online and School Readiness TestingThe National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) began moving from paper and pencil toonline testing this year. Each year in Term 3 Schools that are likely to take up online testing the following year arerequired to complete School Readiness Testing (SRT). This involves all students in Years 3, 5, 7, 9 taking part,online, in one or more tests. Trinity will be undertaking SRT in Week 6 of this term.

Students in the NAPLAN years will complete the tests, either on School or their own devices. No student results areassessed or reported to the School or parents; the only feedback we are provided is around our technical capabilityto administer online testing. Our ICT team is working to ensure we have all technical requirements in place and arein a position to move to online NAPLAN in 2019 should our School be nominated to do so.

Parents can access more information about School Readiness Testing and NAPLAN online via this link to the NESAwebsite: School readiness test 2018

HSC and IB Art ExhibitionIt was a pleasure to have both Max Germanos and Euan MacLeod attend the opening of the HSC and IB ArtExhibition last night in the Delmar Gallery. Their remarks to the large crowd made us think about the wonderfulexperience of exhibiting your own work in a well renowned purpose built gallery. Euan reflected on the exhibitionshe has been involved in at Delmar over the last decade and how important it is for smaller galleries to promoteboth emerging and established artists and without the gallery system the artist has very little opportunity to bediscovered or developed. He commented on the diversity of material practice undertaken by the students and wasparticularly impressed by several pieces. Max was able to reflect on the changing role of the gallery and how hiscompany is taking art into the corporate environment and to have established artists exhibited for several monthsin these large financial and legal institutions in both Sydney and Melbourne. This is a new direction in art curatorialpractice and the HSC and IB visual art students reflect on these changes in their study of art theory, so it is verytimely to have Max speak to the students about new trends in curatorial practice.

It was very pleasing to see so many of the Trinity staff attend the opening and also the Year 11 visual arts studentswho got a glimpse of what is in front of them in the next 12 months. Congratulations to all the HSC Visual Artsstudents who have worked so hard to complete their body of work for the HSC course and to those IB Visual Artsstudents who exhibited only a small portion of their body of work submission, the rest will be exhibited at theirassessment exhibition next month. I would also like to thank the HSC course art staff Mark Oakley and PeterBamford for their guidance and direction to their students and to Joel Tonks, Art Assistant, for hanging theexhibition so professionally.

IB Students Looking under the hood of Trinity’s CulturalEngine

Two elite student-athletes Alexander Kolesnikoff (12Ho) and Monty Hannaford (12Du) have recently spent agreat deal of time scrolling through the websites of America’s Ivy League Colleges, in search of opportunities tochallenge both their academic prowess and athletic powers. One feature they noticed was the impressiveinfographics these colleges provided on the cultural make up of their student body. Seeing an opportunity toengage in the IB CAS outcomes of Collaboration, Planning and Initiative and Development of New Skills, these twoboys embarked on a quest to plumb the depths of Trinity’s demographics. Using Survey Monkey as the tool toachieve this goal, Alexander and Monty were able to obtain over 400 completed surveys across all 6 years ofTrinity Senior School. Analysing this data required the use of a programme called Canva which produced theimpressive infographics you see below. Enjoy this snap shot of Trinity culture.

News from the Arthur Holt LibrarySCIENCE WEEK

The Arthur Holt Library has taken National Science Week to a whole new dimensional plane! Figuratively bendingtime and space (and ourselves) to bring to life to this year’s theme which is:

Game Changers and Change Makers

We excavated some of the most radiant Sci-Fi titles from our Other Worlds collection and put them on display. Wechallenged the students on the THINK | PLAY | DISCUSS board to identify the scientific innovation they would mostlike to personally make happen. We also prepared magnetic posters celebrating some famous instances when awork of science fiction has either predicted or inspired a new technology. Did you know that the electric submarinewas first imagined by Jules Verne in 30,000 Leagues Under the Sea? Or that the concept of a credit card wasintroduced back in 1885 by Edward Bellamy?

And If That Were Not Enough…

We beamed in a whole team of experts and held not one but two multimodal staycursions for Years Seven andEight.


Kathryn Ross, PHD candidate from the University of Sydney, led a workshop in the Centenary Centre Gym thatdived deep into astrophysics, after which the students were challenged to arrange themselves physically into someless familiar constellations. This activity was highly competitive! The students moved at velocity far beyond thespeed of light-heartedness.

Meanwhile - back at the library

Groups of students were led through Mr Dixon’s assortment of scientific relics, artefacts and curios.

And two local science fictions authors came and addressed the students on the art of writing and reading sciencefiction. David Henly lead workshops on science fiction world building by focussing on the importance of the hat, andRowan McCauley (aka Cerenus Jones) ran workshops on how to ‘read like a detective’.

Rugby vs WaverleyMIC

The aim of forming life-long learners is the underlying principle of the Rugby Program at Trinity. With this in mind itis worthwhile reflecting not on the season that could have been, but on the season that provided the foundationsfor the 2019 season.

From my perspective, the boys who played at Waverley on Saturday, did so with a positive approach to the gameas well as displaying the desire to match Waverley physically, especially in defence and at the rucks.

Waverley traditionally are physical and abrasive in their approach to the game, often intimidating their opponents.While they were the dominant school in terms of scoreboard results, our boys bravely and confidently equalledWaverley in the physical dimension of the game.

Mr Campbell’s focus for this season was to have the coaches teach the boys the basics of positioning and contactconfidence. Those fundamentals manifested across the board on Saturday, from the U13 matches on lowerQueens’ Park to the games on Ovals 1 and 2.

For me, as the MIC, the final fixture of the season was always going to be the litmus test of the way our boys wouldphysically impose themselves against an intimidating opposition and display their confidence in contact againstrelentless attacking teams.

On this score, our boys did very well. This crucial aspect of our game is the foundation on which we will build the2019 season.

Friends Of Rugby - Farewell And Thank You!

The End-of-Season was hosted by the outgoing 2018 committee at the UTS Rowers Club last Sunday, where JohnCorias, FOR President for the last eight years, addressed the parents who attended, thanking them, particularlyRebecca Corias, Judy Taylor and Jason Tighe, for their contribution to Trinity Rugby over the last decade.

He emphasised the pleasure and satisfaction he and the committee derived from their involvement in the SaturdayBBQs, and raising significant funds, which have made a difference to the School in terms of assisting with tours andpurchasing gear.

He also encouraged parents to whose sons are still at school to support the worthwhile organisation and sustain thelegacy that goes only to support the boys and benefit the Rugby Programme.

On behalf of the School Community and Mr Campbell, the Director of Rugby, I would like to extend my gratitude fortheir commitment which collectively equates to four decades.

From The Director Of Rugby

For me, since taking over from Jayson Brewer as Director of Rugby in the week leading up to the first trial gameagainst St Patrick’s, the 2018 Trinity Rugby season has been a very rewarding, challenging and eye-openingexperience.

As the Director of Rugby I had the responsibility to assist in the development and mastery of new and specific skills,to create an environment conducive to fun and success and to build confidence and self-belief. The introduction ofthe ‘first session’ skills drills each week for all ages focused on the fundamental components of all areas on theRugby field. The aim was to provide players with ‘pictures’, experiences and challenges that replicate gamesituations and provide repeated opportunities to view, develop and adjust their skill set accordingly. This, inconjunction with skill- specific games allowed for the skills to be applied under game-like intensity, many times in afull contact environment. This ensured players, particularly those in the lower grades, completed more tackles,passes and carries than they had so far in their entire Rugby careers.

There was a significant focus on developing positive team culture and a Rugby learning environment that is built ondisplaying honesty, loyalty and trust. The aim was to create this environment by caring for each and every memberof the Rugby program and openly displaying my sense of pride at both minor and major team and individualaccomplishments. Players were challenged to improve their standards of communication and focus on providing


positive and constructive feedback to all team-mates and coaches. The players were encouraged to be role modelswithin their age groups and to work together through tough, challenging and rewarding times.

The majority of these areas have progressed significantly. However, they must be worked on during the off-seasonto ensure the skill development is captured, consolidated and enhanced before next season.

The School had one of its most successful seasons ever in relation to representative honours. There were threeplayers selected in the Australian Schoolboy squad:Thomas Lambert (12Fo), Tane Edmed (12Fo) and LachalnIlias (12Sc); five selected in the NSW Schoolboys teams: Cooper Chambers (12WJ), Malachi Hawkes (10WJ)and the three previously mentioned); eight selected in the CAS Schoolboy teams: Nicholas Ginis (12Ta),Matthew Yazbek (12Yo), Sione Vuki (11Ho) and the five previously mentioned; three selected in NSW Under16s’ teams: (Malachi Hawkes (10WJ), Miller Tauiliili-Pelesasa (11He) and Michael Eid (10Ke); three in CASUnder 16s’: (Luke Hennesy (11St), Ky Willoughby (11WH) and Riley Large (11Hi).

There were several successful teams throughout the entire season, but special mention must go to the 13As whowent undefeated through the CAS competition and finished with a dominant display against a Waverley side alsochallenging for the title. A fantastic team effort and a great coaching display was contributed by Mr Allen and MrHeanly.

The issue of scheduling was a topic of much discussion this season and I would like to assure parents and playersthat the Trinity Rugby community is in deep discussion aiming to create a more streamlined and supportivecompetition in the seasons to come.

Thank you to all parents and carers responsible for getting the players all around Sydney throughout the season.The future of Trinity Rugby will prosper and with a united and shared vision will see significant improvements yearon year.

1st XV

Queens Park was not it its best condition; however, the weather was perfect for some physical and exciting Rugbyto be played. Waverley were coming off a tough week against a Barker side that would take out the CAScompetition with an undefeated season.

Waverley’s open style of play and willingness to chance their arm led to several opportunities for Trinity in theearly stages of the half. This resulted in repeated attacking efforts in the Waverley defensive zone, but the teamcame away from their efforts with no points. The opposite occurred at the other end of the field with a simpledefensive error -- all that Waverley needed to secure their first points on the board and show the importance oftaking opportunities when they present. The TGS side bounced back well and with some early ball and attackingfrom depth. Luke Hennessy (9St) managed to out-pace the cover defence to secure a much-deserved try. TaneEdmed (12Fo) converted from the sideline and put the wind back in the sails. There was a stalemate for the nextten minutes of play where both teams tried to assert their dominance. After the aforementioned arm-wrestleperiod, Waverley challenged the TGS defensive line for a number of phases until another case of missed one-on-onetackles resulted in the opposition scoring under the posts. Even though this was not ideal, the TGS side did not droptheir heads or lose their focus. Over the next stanza Trinity were dominant in both defence and attack and finallythe ball reached the fifteen-year-old attacking weapon Malachi Hawkes (10WJ). He individually ran rampant fortwenty metres, fending off players at will to score under the posts. It was an unbelievable display from a playerwho has so much more development in him! Half-time: 22-14 Waverley.

After a half-time talk focused on doing your job and being present for each play, the team went out with a look ofdetermination and hope as the Year 12s had one more half to leave a mark in the Green and White. After somephysical confrontations and some simple errors from both sides, it was a mistimed pass from TGS that resulted in a70m intercept under the posts. The group prepared for another kick-off and unfortunately found one of Waverley’smost dominant ball runners and the resulting barnstorming run had Trinity deep in their defensive zone again. Thephases that followed were forceful and determined and resulted in another Waverley try.

The TGS side did not manage to chase down the points and the poor one-on-one defence and attacking decision-making proved too costly. Final score: Waverley 39-21 Trinty.

Finally, a farewell to the seniors who have played such a significant role in the culture, progression and passion forthe program. You will be missed, but your legacy will last.

effort in their last round matchup with Waverley at Queen’s Park on Saturday 11 August. After a gruelling seasonwithout much success on the scoreboard, one could easily have forgiven the 2nd XV for going through the motions,but they were having none of it. From the moment the pre-match warmup began, there was a firmness of purposethat seemed to bring the group together, a workman-like focus that had been absent in some of the previousrounds. This steely resolve flowed into the game and from the very first kick-off it was clear that Trinity’s 2nd XVhad come to play - there was intensity in defence, urgency in attack, and the opposition didn’t like it! This putWaverley under pressure early on and they were forced into making uncharacteristic errors, ultimately resulting ina penalty try for Trinity. Although Waverley scored a few tries of their own, they were forced to work hard for these.Despite trailing at half-time, the energy was positive and the team were as determined as ever, chomping at the bitto resume play. Waverley continued to concede a number of penalties, testament to the breakdown pressure the2nd XV exerted throughout the match. Matthew Brooks (12Hi), Taylor Miller (11Yo) and Joshua Abbott(11Ar) were dominant at ruck time, while William Bonaccorso (12St), Alexander Leckie (11Ho), GeorgeFournaris (12Hi), Luke Bonnell (12Ke), Ned Hatton-Ward (12Sc), Haydon Johnson (12Ke), JonathanHooper (12Mu) and Ben Jabbour (12Ar) were powerhouses in defence. The back three of Isaac Khoury(12WH), Oscar Groth (11Ke) and Jonathon Roseworn (12WJ) had solid all-round games. Special mention mustbe made of the team’s inspirational captain, Harrison Layton (11Du), who has led by example all season andhad another stellar performance on Saturday. In the end, the home team were 38-7 victors, but this perhapsdoesn’t tell the whole story; a story of the 2nd XV rising to the challenge and never giving up. Despite the seasonnot being a success on paper, there is much the players can be proud of - their willingness to keep to the task, theirpositivity at training sessions and their personal development over the course of the season.

3rd XV

The 3rd XV, missing their inspirational captain, George Fournaris (12Hi), due to his call-up to the 2nds,continued to sustain their physical presence, under the leadership of Harry Tran (11Ta) and Tim Bradfield(11Ar). Kai Brand (12Sc), playing his usual role as ball-carrier off the rucks, was mostly well-supported by hisfellow forwards. However, when he found himself isolated, the team conceded turnover ball to Waverley, who were


quick to pounce when they had the opportunity.

Wilbur Tsang (12Sc) held his ground all day off the side of the ruck, preventing all pick-and-go attempts. NickBouletos (11Mu) at hooker, and his bookends, Tsang and Brand, dominated the front-row battles. However, thescrums became uncontested in the second half due to the pace and intensity of play, requiring temporaryreplacements for the front rows of each team.

Leading the forwards, as Vice-captain, Harry Tran both tackled relentlessly and carried the ball forward wheneverhe had the chance. The only try scored by the 3rds was built on the foundation initiated by Harry and carriedforward by Aiden Briscoe (11Du), Zachary Harrison (12Hi) and Daniel Minchenko (12WJ). The loose-forward trio, combining with the mobile second row, repelled successive Waverley attacks and supported eachother well when the team won turn-over ball at rucks or received well-deserved penalties from the referee.

Mackenzie Gavin (12Hi), playing at halfback, was instrumental in leading the physical defence of Trinity’s half.His shift from flank to halfback, in place of Kash Powell (12Ar), who had athletics commitments, was the find ofthe season.

Zachary Lawrence (11Ke), another late season discovery, ignited the backline with his deft handling and hardrunning as well as his courageous defence. Alex Tsetong (12WJ), another player who shifted from the forwards tothe backs, has excelled at inside-centre in both attack and defence, often inspiring the backs with well-timeddefensive hits. Ethan Hansford (12He), another solid defender, was kept busy, together with Tsetong to coverthe mid-field defence, and was useful when the ball was distributed to the backs as his straight attacking linesoften opened Waverley’s defence, almost reaching their goal-line to score a second try. Thomas Newall (12Yo),capable of covering all backline positions, alternated between the wing and the flank, providing consistent cover indefence and pilfering at the ruck when the opportunity arose. Thomas Griffin (11Yo) was another player tounexpectedly discover his affinity for the combative role as a flanker when he moved from blind winger to pack onthe side of the scrum. His willingness to embrace the relentless physicality of forward play was a welcome surprisefor Tom, whose entire career has been played on the wing. On the other wing, Fergus McCrory (11Du), was alsokept busy holding his channel against frequent Waverley incursions. Fergus was consistent in his defence andreading of the play as he has been all season.

The 3rd XV were competitive this season, displaying their willingness to adopt a forward dominated style to buildattacking platforms for the free-running backs. I look forward to witnessing their progress as they advance throughthe grades in 2019.

16A

The side were well prepared during the week, going into the game up against the competition leaders who havehad a very strong season. The team was excited to have Kai Young (10We) back in the starting side, giving theside some considerable leadership and strength in the forward pack. He certainly delivered, having the best gameof the season around the paddock, making penetrating runs, fitting in well with the attacking threat of KyWilloughby (10WH) along with some very good strong defence. Unfortunately Waverley were too strong forTrinity, gaining good front foot ball, a dominant Lineout and some slick penetrating backs out wide. In an improvedeffort from the week prior, Trinity still needs to win the collision contests during the game. In addition JamesBrowning (10Du) was the only player competing over the ball, something that James has done tirelessly allseason.

Mitchell Kearsley and Lachlan White | 16A Coaches

16B

With a blustery 8am kick-off, the men in Green and White came out firing, hungry to prove themselves in the finalmatch of the season. Running with the wind at our backs there were some dynamic runs from the likes of IsaacSoldatos (10Hi), Eddy Lu (10WJ), Michael Nguyen (10Ar), Alex Shannon (10We) and Adrian Lagana(10Ar). Unfortunately, we weren’t able to capitalise on these runs and convert them into points.

Likewise, in the second half there were some outstanding moments. Finn McCann (10Hi) regained four of ourown kick-offs to ensure that we were playing in Waverley’s half. Ben Newall (10Yo), James Coall (10Du), BlakeToohey (10Ke) and George Panopoulos (11Du) did a fantastic job directing traffic, but unfortunately wecouldn’t convert pressure into points. Dogged defence across the park made Waverley’s job even harder. AdenForrester (10Ta), Euan Marshall (10We), William Beretov-Millar (10Ho) and Daniel White (11La) madetheir physical presence felt, while Zac van der Plaat (10Sc), Joseph Booth (10Ar) and Sanjay Anandarajah(10Du) were stuck into everything. Unfortunately, Waverley were still able to break our line on multiple occasions.

After a valiant effort from our boys, where courage and heart were shown from the first to the last, Waverley werethe deserved winners (41-0).


With a good off-season, I’m sure that you’ll see many of these boys don the Premier Squad jersey next season.

David Chilton | 16B Coach

16C

During the first half the team were in the contest. In attack, some enterprising play by Sanjay Anandarajah(10Du) led to a line break and kick chase and made some strong runs and asked questions of the Waverleydefence. What stood out about the first half was our strong defence on the edges. Vasili Eliades (10Mu), GeorgeAndary (10Du) and Alex Haragli (10Du) all made excellent contributions with vital one-on-one tackles. Waverleyscored tries against the run of play, and in the second half secured their victory. It has been a pleasure to coachthe 16Cs this season, and I hope all our players have an enjoyable off-season.

Matthew Miller | 16C Coach

15A

Coming off a good win last week, Trinity had an excellent week of training. They came to the match focused andprepared for a strong match. Waverley had already secured the CAS premiership for the under 15s, having easilydefeated the other five teams in the competition. With nothing to lose, Trinity showed they were no easy beats.Most of the game was an even contest, but unfortunately the Trinity boys resorted to arm tackling when theopposition had space. Besides that, the tackling and running when the game was played closer to the ruck wasoutstanding. The aggression shown by the team proved that they can play high-level rugby. The three points wentto Hunter Hannaford (9Du) for a second time in two weeks, not for scoring three tries, but for his countlessefforts in both attack and defence. The two points went to the try scorer Juno Yim (9Ho) and the one point wasshared between Jack Casimir (9WH) and Michael Lindsey (9Ke). It has been a pleasure to coach this side.There are plenty of aspects to improve on, but there is a strong backbone of quality and this will provide thefoundations for Trinity to be significantly better in the years to come.

Harry Byrnes | 15A Coach

15B

It was a bittersweet finale to the 2018 season for the 15Bs. The physical brand of rugby played by Waverleyproduced a lot of errors from our boys, but to a man they all produced some courageous moments that madeeveryone’s heart swell with pride!

We were clearly outclassed by Waverley on Saturday but there were passages of play where Trinity was able tomaintain possession and go forward with speed, skill and determination.

Maxwell Richards (9Mu) once again led from the front, making a number of punishing tackles and frequentdetermined runs deep into Waverley territory.

So the season finishes and while we did not win as many games as we would have liked, the boys demonstratedgreat character and determination throughout. Their skills and understanding of Rugby has developed and theirattitude to training and playing has improved markedly. I thank the boys for their efforts and look forward toobserving further development next season.

How good was our win over Joeys!

John Hurley | 15B Coach

15C

15Cs played another 10-a-side match this week against Waverley at home. It was a physical game with a lot oftackling and contesting of the ball. Sadly this put Trinity under a lot of pressure in the first half and the ball wasfrequently lost at the breakdown. The Cs improved their defence in the second half and not only slowed the run oftries to Waverley, but scored as well. Congratulations to Christopher Esposito (9Ke), but to the whole team alsofor working together to create this opportunity.

The season has been a tough one for the 15Cs, frequently playing with less than a full team, but congratulations goto all the boys for their positive attitude each week. It has also been great to see the way they have improved,working hard at training and on Saturdays. Well done to all!

The 14As came out against Waverley with the wind in their sails with Sam Wade (9Ke) kicking off and the forwardpack retrieving the ball. Hard direct running from William Blanchfield (9Ho) and Thomas Yarrow (9Ho) set upKai Roberts (9La) to score in the corner. This boosted the team and it showed in their commitment at the tacklecontest with Hugh Browning (8Du), Ronan Hennessy (9St), Dominic Feros (8WH) and James Hawkins(8He) leading the way. Thomas Mackie (8La), Johnny Dong (8Ke), Dean Paraskevopoulos (8Fo) and JonahSowmi (8We) worked tirelessly around the breakdown. Nicholas Keogh (8Ta) showcased his array of skills bythrowing in the lineout at set piece then returning to provide good service from the base of the ruck to JudeRobinson (8St). Nicholas Hubbard (8We) once again showcased his dominant running by scoring the secondtry of the game. Although the final result was a 10-67 loss, the 14As have so much to be proud of, showcasinggrowth as individuals, as a team and as a squad. With the development of their rugby IQ over the season, eachplayer should work on his skills and physicality in preparation for next season.

It was a tough day for the Greens against the best team in the CAS, who had previously dominated all opponentsthrough the winter season. Trinity just couldn’t handle Waverley’s skill and speed around the ruck. To the 14Bs’credit, they remained upbeat and kept getting off their line to make Waverley work for every point, with AriNikolakopoulos (8Yo), Thomas Jenkins (8Fo) and Jake Varonae (8Hi) putting some solid tackles on theopposition. At one point Jacob Anjoul (8La) broke through the line and looked like he was going to get Trinity onthe scoreboard, only to be cut down a few metres short.

Results would suggest it has been a very tough year, but in regard to improvement as individual Rugby players,the 14Bs have ticked that box. The boys’ attitude and skill levels have developed immensely and their confidencein contact continues to rise with each session and game.

Ben Morrissey | 14B Coach

14C

Trinity 14C side came up against a red hot Waverley team who proved too strong all across the park on the day.There were some positives to come out of the game though. Eesa El Hassan (8We) had his best game of theseason, often putting his body on the line at fullback against much bigger players. Hamish Davidson-McLeod(8Ta) also produced a fine display of courage at the break down on multiple occasions. Trinity lost the match 70-14but could hold their heads up at the end of the match knowing they gave it their all.

Ian Moran | 14C Coach

13A

Two strong and hitherto undefeated teams met in the final round of the CAS competition at Queens Park onSaturday in the 13A division. The Trinity team was determined to deliver a strong performance. The line speed andball retention of the Trinity team was exceptional, highlighted by the determined efforts of each player to be thefirst, lowest and strongest at the tackle contest. As a result, Waverley had very little possession in the first half.Trinity was placed under sterner pressure in the second half. However, our boys were stoic in defence and, while apenalty try was conceded, their line was not breeched by a Waverley player. All players performed admirably andcontributed to a memorable team performance. This was a fitting performance from a fine team that secured amemorable win to earn an undefeated unofficial CAS premiership. These young men are congratulated on thiswonderful achievement, the effort they gave throughout the season and the spirit in which they conductedthemselves.

John Allen and Steven Heanley | 13A Coaches

13B

The 13s came up against a strong Waverley side on Saturday. The boys played incredibly well, but went down 12-5. Special mention must go to each boy who played on Saturday. The formidable front row of TobiasLacey (7Hi), Harry Santhiran (7He) and Rafael Antunes (7He) laid a great platform for our forward pack.Back rowers Jonathan Reissis (7WJ) and Nelson McEnallay-Mino (8Ke) were outstanding in attack, displaying


fantastic pick and drive. Loose forwards Clark Foley (7Fo), Zade El-Husseini (8We) and Cooper Twine (7Mu)were instrumental at the breakdown, ensuring that we were able to retain possession for long periods of time. Thisgave time and space for Cooper Vimpany (8Mu) and Oliver Smith (7Ar) to lead our back line in attack, whichthey did with maturity and poise. Jye Lawrence (7Ke), Oliver Vaughan (7Sc), George Sarandos (7St)and Blake Hui (8Ta) ran the ball hard and straight, while Samuel Payne (7WJ) showed class in linking the attacktogether at fullback. The 13Bs have ended the season on a great high and should be proud of theirbravery. Despite the loss, this game was certainly a highlight of the season. I look forward to seeing these fineyoung men "flick with switch" next season.

David Magro | 13B Coach

13C

The 13Cs suffered a heavy loss to a fast, skilful and aggressive Waverley team on Saturday. Trinity wereoutmuscled at the breakdown and as a result spent the majority of the match without the ball. Although thedefence was willing, Waverley's speed and ball skills repeatedly tore holes in the Trinity line. The result wasdisappointing, but shouldn't obscure the improvements this team has made across the course of the season. TomPower (7Mu) was again the standout performer for the team - his enthusiastic captaincy has impressedthroughout the season. Theo Salvartsis (7WH) and Freddie Swann (7Ar) also fought hard to the bitter end.

Aaron Scott | 13C Coach

13D

Definitely not the highlight of our season! With ten minutes to kick-off we had 11 players at the park, and weretrying improvised combinations. At 5 minutes past kick-off we had 15 on the field and a couple of reserves to boot.There were some good runs early from Max Lusty (7Sc), but the Waverley counter-ruck was brutal and wecouldn’t recycle any ball. The Waverley boys consistently ran strong unders lines and were rewarded with prettysimple tries. Noah Giacoppo (7We) was valiant at full-back bringing down most runners, but it simply wasn’tenough to stem the flow of tries. In what was definitely a learning season, a particular commendation goes toAngus Jenkins (7Hi) who received the team’s Best and Fairest award for his consistent work in attack anddefence, and to Callum Pritchard-Davies (7Ar) who was a fine leader as captain of the side.

Phillip Roser | 13D Coach

Football | CAS Round 10 vs WaverleyCAS Round 10 Vs Waverley

On Saturday the 11th of August, Trinity faced off against Waverley in Round 10 of CAS. Below are the reports fromthe Opens fixtures.

1st XI

For the last time in 2018, the Trinity 1st XI ventured to Queens Park to face the boys from the Eastern Suburbs. Thisgame held much sentiment for the Year 12 players as six years ago, our first ever game played in the 7As was atQueens Park, and it is only fitting that we finish there also. Adversity struck early with a Waverley goal in the firstten minutes, but the team stayed positive and distributed the ball with ease and skill. After half time, with theknowledge of it being the last 40 minutes they would ever play for the School, the team settled into a comfortablerhythm where some of the best football all season was played. Passing combinations saw Alex Williams (11St),Evasio Macmillan (12Ho) and Max Mcklusky (12Ar) create fantastic triangles while through balls from AngusClark (12WH) made Trinity dominant and hungry for a goal. Some Waverley tactics culminated in a penalty with15 minutes to go, where Roberto Olles (12Ar), with a 100% strike rate in penalties and the leading goal scorer,maintained his record with a shaky, but credible goal to even up the game and send both teams home with a 1-1draw.

Nostalgia emanated from the Year 12s as our last moments of School Football slipped past us. The emotions of thismoment were presented by the Waverley captain, shedding a tear during his speech, in which he voiced theopinion of many in saying that these moments will stick in our memories forever. Therefore, with that note, I wouldlike to thank my teammates for not losing sight of friendships through the tough times and the parents for alwayssupporting us through wins, losses and draws. Finally, I would like to publicly thank all the coaches, especially MrGray, Mr Savor, Mr Mikulandra and Mr Galluzzo for all the effort and commitment to providing the players with amemorable last season.

Darcy Edwards (12WJ) | Captain of Football 2018

2nd XI

The final game for the season turned out to be the most thrilling match of the year! However, it was also the mostdisappointing. After three matches in a row being unable to score, the Trinity 2nd Open Football team got off to aflying start against Waverley with a header at the back post from a corner by Sohum Salgaonkar (11Ar) going infor a goal in the third minute of the game. Trinity continued to attack with near misses by Sam Yip (12La) andSam York (11Hi) in both halves. Unfortunately, Waverley were able to score two goals in the final two minutes totake home victory in the final round of the season. A disappointing result, given the dominance in possession, fieldposition and shots on goals. Thanks to all the players involved with the team this year.

Mark Mikulandra | 2nd XI Assistant Coach

3rd XI

The last match of the season at an away venue is always a difficult proposition. Waverley had beaten us at home 2-0 and seemed fired up for the game. The team was prepared though, and a very pleasing aspect was that we hadmany reserves on the day and the Year 12 boys in particular were determined to leave Trinity football on a highnote. We seemed to have most of the play for the first half and were unlucky not to score through Jaeho Byun(12Fo) and Peter Marcos (12Fo). We conceded a soft own goal early in the second half and it seemed that theseason would end in a disappointing manner, but led by the Year 12 boys, the team recovered quickly. James Hart(12Sc) pulled off some magical saves. Koray Cankurt (12WH) and Matthew Tuffy (12Du) were solid indefence, but the most credit must go Harrison Haritos (12Ta) who calmly slotted a penalty to the left of thekeeper to give us a draw in our final game.

Joe Vaccarella | 3rd XI Coach

4th XI

After what had been a season of many highs and lows, the Trinity 4ths valiantly and positively arrived at their lastfixture against Waverley. The boys started very well and maintained a high standard for the all the first half. Indefence, Martin Xu (11Hi) and Ethan Thomas (12He) kept pressure on the Waverley forwards at all times, notgranting Waverley any opportunities to score. Meanwhile, Tallis Coman (12Yo) worked the midfield and ensured


that every ball that found itself there came out green and white. Lastly, in attack, Jordan O’Dea (12Fo) and JackOsborn (12Ar) lead the charge in what were some great shooting opportunities, with Jack grabbing one just beforethe whistle. Trinity continued in a similar manner in the second half, and while the score did not agree with us, Icouldn’t have been more proud of some of the football I witnessed from our boys.

Justin Vincent | 4th XI Coach

5th XI

The Open 5ths finished the season in fine style with a 3-1 win over Waverley. In the back line Kevin Rathore(11He) and Mohammad Hijazi (11We) were solid in defence. In the midfield position Nick Sheppard (11Ke)and Hugh Casimir (11WH) controlled the ball well and contributed to the best goal of the season being scored byWilliam Brockie (11Fo). The ball was controlled from our half and worked nicely up field and across the face ofthe goal with an excellent finish by William. Well done and congratulations to all the boys in the 5ths on what was avery memorable season.

Mark Waters | 5th XI Coach

Retirement

Thank you to Mr Terry Haywood for his service to Trinity Football. Mr Haywood is retiring from Trinity at the end ofthis year and has given invaluable service to Trinity Football. Terry began his Trinity Football coaching in 2001 witha Year 7 team and has coached numerous age groups including nine years as a 3rd XI coach. Mr Haywood hasalways coached his teams to strive for domination of possession, to use width in attack and to be compact indefence. The outcome of this is that Mr Haywood’s teams play a brand of Football that is easy on the eye and hisfocus on process has led to significant development of his players and teams. Terry finished his Trinity coachingcareer at Queens Park on Saturday, keeping his defence honest in squeezing up at the back and finishing with a 3-1 win. In 2018 Terry coached the 7Cs to eight wins and two draws from eleven games, scoring 28 goals andconceding just 10. Thank you, Mr Haywood, for your service to Trinity Football this season and since 2001.

Finally, thank you to the 442 boys from Year 7-12 for their participation in the world game and for


their commitment to improve technically, tactically and physically.

AFL vs CranbrookAn interesting feature of this team is that whether they were on a winning or losing streak, others were willing tojoin them on game day. Never was this more evident than for the last round of the season. With an extraordinarylist of injured and ill players, people from far and wide gathered to be part of the occasion.

Some very creative thinking from the MIC and Coach of the Firsts, Mr Barnes, ensured our game with Cranbrookwould proceed. The solution involved four Newington players; Barnes’ strategy, ‘If you can’t beat them, get themto fight for you’, had its genesis in a rather painful educative experience we had in Round 9. These lads generouslyoffered to join us a week later to check if our lessons had been learnt. These fine young men are a credit to theirfamilies, their School and their coaches, and we are extremely grateful to them. In addition, former campaignerKris Dahan came to the rescue and showed that he still has what it takes at this level. Further, Matthew Uglow,despite having his own team to play for later in the day, volunteered to strap on the boots for us.

The most surprising addition, however, was Ashwin Aggarwal (12We). With no experience of the game or bootsof his own; armed only with plenty of enthusiasm, he joined us in time for the warm up. Why he would want to joina sometimes-marginalised minority group is anyone’s guess. Prisoners to a four-game losing streak, we laboured invain week after week, while attrition took its toll. Ashwin was greeted with such relief that he was immediatelygiven the affectionately contracted moniker, ‘Shwin’. The coaches surveyed the names on the magnetic board. Theseason’s toll was laid bare; the list of victims, longer than the list of survivors. Our hopes of getting out of theseason 5 - 4 hinged on Shwin having compassion for us. This was Shwindler’s List.

Cranbrook were first to score, but we were 8 points up by the end of the first term. Halfway into the second,Cranbrook were 8 points up and a tight struggle ensued. In the final term we were finally able to consistentlyimpose ourselves on the game and one behind at a time, we clawed our way to a 19-point win.

Julius Blum (12Ar), Aniket Sharma (12Ta), Alex Cameron (11WH), Chris Saintilan (12Ta), Jack Pullinger(12Ho), Tim Ledden (12Yo), Matthew Turner (12Ho), Finn Ritchie (12Ke), Matt Uglow (10He), GeorgeMorgan (11Fo) and Joshua Kerr (12We) all impressed in their last game together and forged a motto for futureOpens’ AFL teams: Inveniet viam (find a way).

Trinity 11.14. 81 def. Cranbrook 10.2. 62

Goals: Perry May (Newington) 3, Ledden 2, Aggarwal, Pullinger, Ritchie, Uglow, Nick Jenneke (Newington), JoshMacdessi (Newington).

Year 9 And 10 AFL | Captain's Report

On the weekend the Year 9 and 10 Trinity AFL team played against Cranbrook and had a good win 88 to 12. Thebackline which was made up of a number of strong players helped protect the ball when it went down to thebackline, therefore Cranbrook were scoreless for the first two quarters.

Jamie Christopoulos (9Ar) played very well in the ruck which then gave us the opportunity to get almost everymiddle clearance which then gave our fast players Nick Enno (9Hi), Aiden Murphy (9Du) and AlisterBuchanan (10Ta) opportunities to deliver the ball straight to the forward line, our main goal scorers AntonDemark (10Sc), Mitchell Butler (10Mu) and Matthew Uglow (10He) scored 8 goals between them.

Man of the match to everybody as we all worked together very well. Goal scorers 1, Aiden Murphy (9Du) 2,Mitchell Butler (10Mu) 2, Anton Demark (10Sc) 4, Seamus O’Connor (10Ho) 1, Jonathan Titmarsh (10Du)1 and Matthew Uglow (10He) 2.

Tennis Results | Saturday 11th August 2018Division 1

Once again Trinity’s sole competitor in Division 1 was Nicholas Field (11WH) who was forced to play anabbreviated American doubles format consistent with the trial CAS Winter format. Despite toiling hard for themajority of the day, he was unable to register a victory in the two sets contested. His best play came in the first setagainst the Knox pairing, during which time he struck the ball aggressively, showcasing his signature cross-courtforehand on numerous occasions. The set remained on serve for most of the match with both teams taking it inturn to show their ascendancy before Nicholas dropped serve and the set in the later stages of the encounter.Despite exhibiting a vast array of weaponry, in his second set he was systematically dismantled by an astuteBarker combination on court 2. In summation, it was obvious that Nicholas possessed the same degree of talent ofall and sundry in Division 1 despite his narrow losses.

Division 2

There were no easy matches for the two Trinity pairs in Division 2. Virtually every game had its highlights, and attimes the tennis was of a truly remarkable standard. The Trinity lads’ first encounter was yet another local derby,and in this contest Jonathan Karagiannis (11 Hi) and Deon Kontonis (9Fo) defeated Max Nguyen (8Yo) andJason Wu (11Ho). As it turned out, Max and Jason bounced back to defeat Knox 6-1 in their next match, whileJonathan and Deon unfortunately went down 1-6 to another Knox duo. While Max and Jason were able to rely ontheir solid ground strokes and intelligent returns, Jonathan and Deon had their work cut out just trying to get thehuge serves of their opponents back into play! Both Trinity teams played well in their final matches, but both hadto be content with narrow losses. Congratulations to all four boys on giving their best throughout.

Division 3

On a beautiful morning down at Haberfield Tennis Center the division 3 boys had some tough games ahead ofthem. Max Knauer (7Ho) and Kevin Lin (9Sc) started very strongly walking away with a 6-1 win in their firstmatch. Their second match took a turn for the worse playing some great tennis but unfortunately going down 3-6.In their final match they came up against a fellow Trinity boy David Kim (10WH) who was forced to play byhimself due to his partner’s injury, a very close game was played out with David taking the set out in a tie breaker.David struggled to find his feet in his first two matches against some quality opponents going down 1-6 and 0-6.

Division 4

The last round of the Winter season was played out by the division 4 boys Aidan Tharmarajah (11WJ) and RitvikDinesh (11Ke). The pair had two very close battles, the third being a forfeit. Their first set was won 6-4 with bothboys playing good tennis and having some amazing rallies. In the 2nd set the pair came back from being down 2-5clawing themselves back to a tiebreaker. Unfortunately, they lost the tie breaker after creating an early lead.Overall, they put up a good fight all day.

Division 5

The boys did very well over the weekend with a large majority of wins in favour of Trinity. Justin Sleiman (11Ta)and Lachlan Sleiman (11Ta) played very well and very consistently over the weekend. They barely broke a sweatwith both boys hitting some fantastic shots winning all of their matches with the closest game being 6-3 and theother two being won by a large margin of 6-1. Also playing this weekend was the doubles pairing of Jim Gong(9Ar) and Richard Collins (9Mu). These boys also did incredibly well over the weekend with both boys hittingsome great serves and managing to get a few aces during the course of their match ups. They were able to win allof their matches as well. This was alongside Lachlan Chan (10Fo) and Aryan Rawal (10Mu); they were able toplay fairly consistent tennis with some great points being played through the duration of the game which allowedthem to win a game.

Division 6

The representatives in division 6 put in a good effort on the weekend with both pairs trying their best. Justin Jap(12He) and Sunny Tang (12Hi) had some good points. Sunny hitting some very consistent ground strokes andJustin hitting some great serves. However, this unfortunately was not enough as the other teams were just strongerover the weekend, with the boys being unable to win a match. This was alongside the pairing of Dominic Lay(11St) and Max Clarke (11WH), who were subbing in this weekend for another pairing. They were able to do very


well, given the circumstances with both boys being very strong players. Both boys had some very strong servesand groundstrokes that day and played some very good points and managing to come away with a win for the day.

Division 7

On Saturday morning, division 7 travelled to Mutch Park, Pagewood. Calum Ferguson (10We) and Ben Butler(11Mu) played doubles together for the first time, as Ben commendably attended the fixture as a replacement foran injured player. As they became more accustomed to each other’s playing style, their communication and teamwork improved enabling them to win many hard-fought games against quality opposition. In addition to servingand volleying well, they both produced a host of well-placed ground strokes. They also kept themselves in eachpoint and won several close games through their ability to retrieve difficult shots. They represented the Schoolwith distinction, displaying excellent sportsmanship throughout the morning.

Division 8

Two teams represented Trinity in Division 8 on Saturday as Sam Vickery (9WJ) teamed up with Liam Ling (9La)while Justin Yang (9WH) partnered Ethan Su (10He). The first fixture of the day saw these formidable duos gohead-to-head in what was set to be an absolute dogfight and the crowd was definitely not disappointed. A tighttussle saw Sam and Liam edge out their classmates in a 6-4 thriller as our Trinitarians set the tone for anoutstanding day of tennis. Justin and Ethan bounced back from the first loss to clinch another cliff-hanger to thetune of 6-5 (5-3) and they finished the day in style with a comprehensive 6-3 victory. Sam and Liam continued theirdomination as they secured 6-4 and 6-3 wins respectively, putting on nothing short of a tennis clinic for those whodared step on court with them! I was extremely impressed with all four players who exhibited an abundance oftalent and, more importantly, that they did so in an extremely classy manner.

Division 9

Martin Wong (8Ta) and Matthew Nicolas (8Yo) formed one team for Trinity as young guns Gabrielle Peixeiro(7Sc) and Giuseppe Barca (7Ar) made up the other alliance. These two teams played off in a showdown for thefirst fixture and while both sides fought valiantly, it was Matthew and Martin who walked away victorious after a 6-4blockbuster. They then went on to edge out their opponents in a narrow 6-4 set before they met their demise in abreathtaking match, 5-6 (4-5). Gabrielle and Giuseppe had a mixed day as they continued on to secure a 6-4 winbefore suffering a 4-6 loss, but these two played fearlessly against a pool of much older players.

Division 10

Trinity’s division 10 squad was made up of Dev Jaidke (10La) with Oliver Sun (10Hi) and, unfortunately, JustinYang (10Ke) was forced to play alone as his partner was unavailable on the day. Dev and Oliver secured the onlywin for Trinity in this division with an impressive 6-1 triumph, but the heat got the better of them as they werehanded losses in their other fixtures – 2-6 in the first and 4-6 in the second. Despite knowing that he couldn’t domuch against the pairs of skilful opponents he faced, Justin was not fazed and played an energetic brand of tennisall day long. Although the results did not go his way, (1-6, 1-6, 3-6, respectively), Justin should be commended forthe attitude he demonstrated on the court.

Division 11

Daniel Tran (9Ta) and Nikhil Kapoor (9Yo) played with great determination and asserted their dominance onthe court with 3 convincing wins. Their quick and accurate serves helped them get the upper hand on theiropponents, making it hard for them to return their serves. James Hardiman (8Sc) and Harry Protopsaltis putup a very strong fight narrowly losing two of their matches, James and Harry had great communication on the courtand have evolved their game each week as the term as progressed.

Division 12

Roberto Patterson (10WH) and Aditya Verma (10Sc) had a great weekend, winning 1 of 2 matches played.Roberto and Aditya narrowly lost their last match in a nail-biting fight to the end. As soon as Roberto and Adityastepped on the court it was game on. They wasted no time in defeating their opponents with aggressive serves andimpressive backhands. Alex Runciman (7Yo) and George Nicholas (7WJ) were amazing to watch to say theleast! Both Alex and George demonstrated great chemistry, communication and sportsmanship on and off thecourt on Saturday. They won all three of their matches very convincingly. The level of team work and cohesiveness


in their game was outstanding. Alex and George are two great prospects to watch in the future.

Division 13

An early morning at Knox was always going to be tricky for our boys. Regardless, the boys played some inspiringtennis to cap off the season. Trinity managed 3 out of 6 wins, a fair result, yet a couple points here and there couldhave meant a clean sweep for our boys. Notably, Nathan Xie (9St) and Dylan Lay (9St) dictated the tempo formost points with elegant groundstrokes and clear focus, winning two out of their three fixtures. Daniel Hayes(10He) and Edison Tran (10Ho) found their matches a little more difficult, but definitely showed their class frompoint to point. I would like to wish each boy good luck in his sporting endeavours next season.

Division 14

Division 14 was always going to be a struggle with the absentee of one boy from the team. Nonetheless, the boysfought valiantly to make amends. Interestingly, it was Trinity vs Trinity for our first match, with a two-man team ofJames Kaye (8Ho) and Justin Wang (8WJ) narrowly edging a 6-4 victory over Joseph Coorey (9St). From thenon, the boys played with passion and guts but could only manage one more win for Trinity, winning 2/6 matches intotal. I wish the boys the best of luck for their next season of sport.

Division 15

The Bryan brothers, AKA Leo and Asher Tarbox (9Du) wore the Green and White with passion, guts and heroism.The brothers were too good for their counterparts, winning all three matches. Having coached these boys thisseason, it was great for me to see them finish strongly. Unfortunately for our other Trinity team, they were unableto master a win, but relentlessly also put their best foot forward and showed their opponents what the Green andWhite are made of! I would like to wish the boys the best of luck for the new season ahead.

Division 16

When the pairing of Logan Ng (8WJ) and Younghoo Cho (8La) lost the first match of the day in a closeencounter, they could’ve thrown in the towel! To their credit, they stepped up, decimating their opponents 6-2 inthe following games with some excellent shot playing.

Jayden Higgins (7He) also showed great spirit in the face of adversity. Despite missing his partner, he went on towin all three of his matches while playing as a single.

Division 17

Oliver smith (7Ar) and Aneesh Nagaratnam (7Yo) played some fantastic shots in all of their games. Theyperformed competitively all day, with two games going to tie breaks Keegan Tran (8WH) and Matthew Wang(8Ar) were also in good form, with some smooth serves and sharp counter shots the feature of their play.

Invitational Team

This past Saturday Newington College hosted a round of Tennis as part of the Invitational series. The boys played afull set of doubles and singles, facing strong competition from Newington. It was pleasing to see some wins in bothdoubles and singles, with special mention to Joshua Kolesnikoff (11Ho) and Ken Wang (11St) for their doublesvictory 6-3, and for Ken’s singles win 6-3. This friendly fixture was a positive end to the season for all boys whoparticipated, gaining valuable competitive experience which they can take with them for future seasons.

Volleyball vs WaverleyTrinity Defeated Waverley 3-0 (25-17, 25-12, 25-9)

The prestigious CAS/GPS Winter Premiership has not been awarded to Trinity for several years now. And yet, notonly has this year’s 1st VI brought the Premiership back home, they have also brought with it the revered status ofUndefeated Premiers. This week’s win against Waverley saw their consecutive victories climb to 21, and with only 2sets lost all year, they have set a new record for the most successful season ever in Trinity Volleyball history. Thisis an incredible achievement, and every boy in the team should be congratulated for his colossal effortsthroughout both the Summer and Winter seasons.

In this week’s game, despite missing many players due to injury or other commitments, the team managed to pulloff a successful victory against Waverley, while also enjoying themselves along the way. This was a fun final gameto finish the year on, particularly for the Year 12s for whom this was their final game ever representing the Greenand White. After the excitement of the previous game, it was evident throughout the first set that the team wasfeeling relaxed, with many errors occurring due to a lack of communication. However, excellent setting from PiersConnolly (12Ar) enabled the boys to bounce back, giving them the energy they needed to take the set. Thesecond set was much better in this regard, with big hits from Ethan Bateman (10WJ) and Benny Ouyang(12Ke) ripping into the opposition ball after ball, and more importantly giving the team some exciting moments tolighten up their last game together. Nicholas Tsiakos (11We) also played excellently in the third set, contributingto several critical points and winning many more himself. Overall, a more relaxed game, but a fun one for the teamto finish off their time together. As Captain, I cannot express how proud I am of this team and how much theymean to me, and I know I will remember the experiences we have shared together for the rest of my life. Also, ifyou have been reading these reports each week, I would like to thank you all for the support you have given usthroughout the year. It means the world to us, and we could not have done it without you.

Signing out for the final time,

Ollie Arkell (12WJ) | 1st VI Captain Trinity Defeated Waverley 3-0 (25-10, 25-15, 25-9)

An emotional build-up to the final game of the 2018 Winter Volleyball season saw Trinity put all their focus onfinishing their campaign with a strong win. The Year 12s saw every point being their last as this match marked theirlast-ever sports match in the Green and White. Not surprisingly, right from the first whistle, Trinity asserted theirdominance through their tricky ‘float’ serves and powerful spiking. This quick start was made possible by effortsfrom Andrew Gabriel (11Hi) and Joseph Wang (12WJ) who produced both serves and sets that couldn’t becountered by the Waverley defence. From this, the first set became relatively easy-going for the 2nds, except forsome minor unforced errors in defence. After a friendly reminder from the 2nds coach, Angus Webster, that weshould continue to give our all, Trinity come into the second set even more determined and focused, looking toimprove upon the few lapses that had occurred in the first set. Special mention must go to Ethan Gunaratnam(12Ar) for his relentless defence and passing in position ‘6’. William Xie (12Fo) proved, once again, what anintegral part he was to the team, with several defensive pickups that certainly helped the Greens’ edge forward tovictory. Without these efforts, the Waverley outfit may have been able to rally back what looked to be a closeencounter during the middle of the set. Trinity completed the match in style with a dominant third set victory,keeping their opposition to a single digit score. This was simply a testament to the character of all players who hadcontinued to maintain extremely high standards week in and week out. This win fittingly concluded an extremelysuccessful season for the 2nd VI, who now assert themselves as the best record-holders for a 2nd’s teamthroughout Trinity Volleyball history.

David Carreon (12St) | 2nd VI Captain

The 3rds just finished one of the most successful seasons in 3rd VI history with being undefeated CAS premiers.The team developed in their skills throughout the season, coached mostly by Benjamin Wheen, but as well byAngus Webster and Dr. Thanopolous. Each player had something to contribute to the success of the team; Thesetters Benjamin Powell (9Ho) and David Gabriel (9Hi) were all you could ask for and more, with great settingand serving, as well as bringing up energy on court using their great leadership. Andrew Kim (12We), JoelMatthei (9La), Chris Stelza (10St) and Sam Vickery (9WJ) all had their first season of volleyball, anddrastically improved since the begging of the season, being extremely coachable players, and valuable hitters forthe team. Andre Athos (12Sc), Perry Ouyang (11Ke) and Mark Makrum (11WJ) were the veterans of theteam, all having already played at least 1 season, they helped guide the new players, and show a respectful andtechnical example to everyone on the team. But by far the most committed to the team was Jim O’Brien (9WJ).He played the summer season before, and then injured his ACL. Even with that being the case, he still helped thecoaches at training sessions, and gave his full support at the games, although not being required to in any way.The most exciting games the 3rds played were the Sydney Boys and Sydney Grammar, these being extremelyintense, bonding and fun experiences. I would like thank once again all the coaches who have made this seasonone of growth in the skills of volleyball so successful and fun. All the boys on the team should be very proud of thisseason.

Cross Country | Sydney ParkCAS Cross Country Championships, Sydney Park, Saturday 11th August, 2018

The Cross Country action never seems to disappoint whenever we are at Sydney Park. The cream rises to the topas the hilly and subsequently testy course sorts out the competition. Mr Woods and I, as I have banged on aboutquite a bit recently, were both super-excited heading to the CAS Championships as we both felt we had pretty closeto the best Cross Country Team we have ever assembled at Trinity. We looked thick on the ground with talentacross all age groups and we have serious depth - we were ready! We also, pleasingly, were putting in betterperformances each week at the pointy end of the season. So excited we were, and not overly surprised, when weran off with the bulk of the Silverware at races’ end!

The day began at 10am with the 14 years age group the first to light up the course as they completed two veryswift laps, despite there being four decent hills per lap, of 2km for a total race distance of 4km. Trinity runners wereto the fore in the race with Theo Christian (9He), Jack Waide (7Ke) and William Cooper (9Hi) all amongst theleaders as they went through their first lap. We were delighted by the way the boys ran, often as a team, and wewere thrilled at the finish to see Theo finish just ahead of Jack as Trinity went one, two! William was not far adrift in5th and Joey Cantlon (7Du) ran another super race as he placed 9th. Lowest cumulative finishing position totalwins, and with Trinity on 17, we comfortably won the 14s’ age group. Waverley were 2nd on 34 points and Knox3rd on 67 points. Other notable Trinity performances came from Jaden Leung (7Hi) 13th, Dylan Krsnik(7St) looking superfast in fancy shoes, 14th, Lewis Potter (8Fo) 16th and most pleasingly, backing himself andpushing himself harder in his final Cross Country race of the season was Oscar Martin (8Sc) in 18th. Eight Trinityboys in the Top 20! Nice!

The 16s took up where the 14s left off and were immediately in the thick of it! It soon became apparent that EthanBrouw (10Ta) was going to take the race by the scruff of its neck, as he looked so definitely in command after thefirst lap. There was a wave of Green and White just in his rear view mirror at Trinity athletes were having ‘a blinder’!As was evident early, Ethan maintained command and crossed the line for an emphatic win. However, it wasincredible what was happening behind, as Trinity runners filled 5 of the next 7 seven places, to whack 6 Trinityathletes into the Top 10! Dylan Offord (10WH) is bouncing back from injury under the watchful eye and guidanceof Mr Woods and ran excellently to be 3rd. Logan Kaye (11Ho) was not far behind in 4th and the ever-improving Zac Brown (10Ho) cemented a commanding victory for our 16s’ team in that age group. Trinity’s 14points, to Knox’s 33 with Waverley 3rd on 58. Samuel Xu (10WH) had possibly his best run of the season as hewas 7th and likewise James Kern (9WJ) nailed it with a superb 8th place. Bill Zhu (11La) was 16th, EuanGermanos (9He) 18th and Nathan Roberts (11We) was 20th, with the 16s upstaging the 14s with 9 athletes inthe top 20! Doubly nice!

Needless to say, after the 16s’ race Trinity was odds on to retain the CAS Cross Country Championship. However,we also wanted the prestigious Neil Logan Shield as the winners of the Teams’ event in the Opens’ race. The racewas a cracker and Mr Woods and I felt that some magic may happen! It surely did as we ran away with it for astellar win! The Opens Team was led by Thomas Virgona (10St) who has been ‘running up’ for much of latterpart of the season and he too seems to get better and grow in confidence each week. He followed his race plan to a‘T’ and as the final lap of four commenced, he was sitting on the shoulder of Drew Fryer from Cranbrook. Asmentioned in the last Headmaster’s Bulletin, Drew was superb for CAS last week, burning his competition from theGPS early in the race. He should have done the same to Thomas at the CAS Championships as he allowed Tom tosit on him into the last lap. Mr Woods and I glanced at each other, knowing full well that Thomas was in with achance. Sure enough, Tom pounced on a nasty hill and ran away with the race for a fine win! Mr Woods and I alsodecided to run Patrick Cantlon (9Du) up in the Opens to strengthen our team. It was a great decision as Pat,buoyed by our faith in him, had a superb race, beating some super athletes to place an incredible 3rd! So in threeraces last Saturday Trinity had two of the three athletes standing on the podium in each race! Yikes! The goodnews doesn’t stop there, as Captain Jonno Batson (12WH) recovered from spending a few too many pennies inhis first lap, to be a fine 5th. Unfortunately, though, Lelland Hui (12Fo) looked set to have a fine top-ten resultsewn up, but nearing the line, 7.9km into the race, he collapsed! We were immediately concerned and remained sofor the next few hours. All was OK in the end as he received First Aid and the paramedics arrived. Dehydration inthe unseasonal winter heat and poor nutrition choices prior to the race were his downfall. However, racingcontinued and Luke Cunningham (12He) was sufficiently placed to finish a fine 10th and subsequently securedthe team win, the Neil Logan Shield and the CAS Cross Country Championship for Trinity! A fabulous day at theoffice for the Trinity Cross Country fraternity and not one we will forget for sometime.

It was fabulous to have the Headmaster at Sydney Park for the duration of the action -- to support us, presentmedals on behalf of the CAS General committee and ‘press the flesh’ throughout the day and at presentation.Despite being preoccupied with Lelland being unwell, I was mindful of the wonderful job Jonno did in leading theteam and speaking to members of the Cross Country team and their parents postrace, he has been a fine Captainthis past season. Thanks must also go to the parents for their support of our athletic endeavours and aspirations. Itwould also be remiss of me, as another Trinity Cross Country season wraps up not to thank the best coaching staffpossible at any School. Led by Mr Bradley Woods, who is without peer in schoolboy coaching, his care, guidance,knowledge and professionalism are sensational! It was great to have Cross Country stalwart Mr Phillip Mugridge asa coaching staff member and new staff member, Mr Robert Currer, has been a fabulous addition to the team! Last,but certainly not least, was the great job that Mr Paul Raptis (’16) and Mr Nicholas Katsilis (whom we poached from


Sydney High), did in assisting Mr Woods at training during the week and their interest in the boys’ performancesand their encouragement of them so regularly was most appreciated.

In conclusion, despite the fact that it is very easy to focus solely on the fabulous results Trinity compiled at the CASCross Country Championships last Saturday, and at other meets during the season, it would be poor not toacknowledge those in our number who turned up each week, without having accolades bestowed upon them, who,in the end, may very well just enjoy going for a run and may continue to do so for many years. We take great pridein the fact that we may have sown the seed that has enabled that to occur and we heartily rejoice in it!

Good running,

Debating vs WaverleyThe third round of debating against Waverley was an extraordinary round for the boys of the Debating Society,winning all but three strongly-contested yet marginally lost debates. Numerically, Trinity won 8 from 11 debateswith the 1sts, 2nds, 3rds, 10As, 9As, 9Bs, 8As and 7Bs. This is, no doubt, representative of the determination of ourCAS squad and their talent to eloquently, persuasively and intelligently deliver argument, a fruit borne from weeklytraining sessions after school, on Wednesdays for the Middle School teams and Fridays (before the debates) for theSenior School teams. A fruit, which has now resulted in the first win of the CAS season for a Year 7 team! The Firsts’and Seconds’ topic for debate this week was “That we should tax inheritance" with both teams arguing thenegative side. This is an issue which has been brought to the forefront of economic policy makers with the topicbringing much furore in the financial arenas of the UK and USA. In a keenly-contested debate, both teams arguedthat inheritances were already taxed and representative (at times) of an individual's life work. Waverley arguedthat inheritances were a means for the wealthy to advantage themselves over time and that they createdsituations where the beneficiaries of such inheritances would become lazy and seek to live off the inheritanceinstead of seeking employment to contribute to the economy. Our arguments proved to the be superior on thenight and it is encouraging to see the higher end of the debating society bringing in much-needed wins on thescorecard.

Despite yearly and trial examinations looming for the members of the Senior School, the boys have managed to beconsistent in their approach to debating; a task not easily achieved during such stressful times. As such, specialcongratulations must be given to the 1sts, 2nds, 3rds for providing an excellent (winning) example to the youngerdebaters, who no doubt have now been inspired to succeed. Despite the victories of this week, however, Iencourage the boys to not lose focus but to keep working hard to ensure further success in the upcoming roundagainst St. Aloysius and the challenges they will bring.

Timely ReflectionsWednesday, August 15 was the seventy-third anniversary of the end of Second World War.

When I was a lad in Primary School the Second World War (1930-1945) was very much with us. I don’t rememberthe precise words of the grim announcement made by Prime Minister Menzies that Australia, in effect part ofBritain, was at war with Germany, but I do remember the weeping of my mother as she realised that my brother,my elder by ten years, would be swept up into it should the war hostilities continue for any length of time. Iremember large barricades, huge boxes of sand, to deflect bomb blasts being built in front of the entrances andexits of our school with windows being taped with sticking plaster to prevent shattering from bombs. Saturdays andafter work fathers and older brothers came to dig zig-zag trenches in the school playground for us to shelter inshould we be bombed; all these preparations being intensified when Darwin was bombed, and the United Statesentered the war after Pearl Harbour.

My first experience with the American army was when the first bunch of troops arrived in Australia, to be billeted inthe homes of ordinary folk. I remember sitting on the school fence watching as the soldiers allotted to our areaarrived in huge Army trucks and were given their directions. I was, ahem, being perhaps a little bit cheeky, butsoon was put in my place as a rather large Sergeant hurled a kit bag at me! It hit me squarely on the chest, andknocked me off the fence! I was too scared to go home, lest the soldier I had irritated was our billeted man, butwandered the streets for three hours or so, until hunger drove me to return. It was, fortunately, not the sergeant Ifeared, but a fellow who was a credit to his country as I was told, and indeed, my two sisters, smitten by him, stillreceive, or they did until last year, Christmas and Easter cards from him and his family after all these years! JimSmith was his name, of Ford City, Pennsylvania!

These were indeed, dark days, and though our childhood continued in a serene way, it was marked by the all toofrequent sight of telegram boys riding their red bicycles to deliver telegrams (perhaps the main method of sendingurgent news in those days — certainly there was no other social media as we know it today), telegrams which wereoften the harbingers of sorrow as families were notified of deaths in the war of sons and brothers and fathers.Rationing was also a fact of life: perhaps not as badly as in England, but enough to make us appreciate what we didhave. Petrol, food, clothing — all were subject to rationing. As kids, we were most affected by the fact that wecouldn’t buy lollies to any great extent. Our suburb had three or four sweet shops, and the proprietors of each(usually rather fierce ladies who stood no nonsense!) would serve only their own, known clientele with a rationedportion of the allocation of sweets which they were allowed by the authorities! We were lucky, though, as MrsBarnes, our provedore, was a fabulous maker of homemade sweets and ice blocks and frozen oranges and we wereable to have a slightly larger ration than others! Not that there was all that much extra, because the sugar neededto make them was of course rationed. At first the news from the war fronts was grim, and Japanese forces cameever closer to our shores but eventually the tide turned, as various battles in Europe and the Pacific broughtincreasing victories.

In Year Six I remember we had large maps provided by the newspapers which daily showed the progress of theAllied troops across Europe as after D-day in June 1944 our forces pushed the Nazis further and further back untilVE Day-Victory in Europe, in May. Then just before the Victory in the Pacific, over Japan came the event that stillovershadows us all today: the dropping of the first Atomic Bomb, on Hiroshima. I had gone to fetch the morningpaper on August 6 and the paper, having fallen from its usual place between the two gates of the driveway, hadopened out, and as I walked towards it to pick it up, saw this strange, mushroom-shaped cloud filling the frontpage. My first image of an atomic bomb explosion. A few days later, August 15 1945, VJ day took place, and,though we have had many an unfortunate and often needless war since, the world overall has held an uneasypeace. Even despite the fact that we were given two days’ holiday to celebrate the occasion, I think most of us felta sense that something significant had taken place in the affairs of the world, and that things were going to bedifferent. Then too, on the very day the peace was announced by a huge cacophony of church bells pealing andfactory whistles and car horns being sounded, tragedy came for some, including a friend of Mum’s, who, as theywere having a celebratory cup of tea, just as the celebrations began, had a telegram boy deliver the news that herhusband had been killed. What then, of the celebrations? What then, of the war? Surely, though nowadays oftenwe all live lives of peace and safety and in relative comfort, we need to remember such sacrifice with a duesolemnity and respect, taking to heart the selfless lessons which we would do well to heed, ever remembering alsothat our School motto is particularly apt. Let the glory — for whatever we may have or be, — be given only to God.Detur Gloria Soli Deo.
