HEAD MASTER'S BULLETIN | FRIDAY 9 MARCH 2018

NEWS & NOTIFICATIONS

From the Head MasterDuring the course of this week, the School celebrated International Women’s Day. I addressed theMiddle and Senior students on the topic at a Quad assembly; the text of my speech is below.

You will have noticed this large banner for International Women’s Day, which has been hanging over the Quad for a week. I knowthat a number of you have been wondering ‘Why?’ Why are we focussing on International Women’s Day? After all, aren’t we aboys’ school? Let me give you three reasons.

First, we are a boys’ school, but we live in a co-ed world. More than half the people on the planet are female. You may not realise ityet, but your life story is inextricably intertwined with women. Standing behind and supporting you are generations of women inyour family, whose commitment to your education comes at significant cost to them. Women are and will be your family and yourfriends. You will have women as your bosses, your colleagues, and your team. You will engage with women professionally andpersonally. You will live, work, worship, play, and socialise with women. You will learn from women and learn with women. Theability to co-exist, collaborate and connect with women is and will be a crucial life-skill for you. International Women’s Day is areminder to us of that reality.

Second, we are a boys’ school, but our School community lives and breathes because of the women who contribute to it. Every dayat school you will interact with women who will teach you, lead you, support you and care for you. Some of them will do it publiclyas they stand up the front. Others will be quietly labouring unnoticed behind the scenes. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow you willbenefit from the expertise, the skill, and the wisdom of women. International Women’s Day is a prompt to us to acknowledge thecontributions of the women around us.

Third, in many ways around the world, women are subject to injustice. I read an account of the Boxing Day Tsunami, whichattempted to account for the fact that so many more little girls died than little boys. They found that one of the reasons is that, inthe areas affected by the tsunami, little girls are not taught or encouraged to climb trees. As a result, as the torrent of water pouredthrough their villages, escape by climbing was not an option for them. A small, simple poignant example of the way that genderbias can play out in injustice. That particular example isn’t relevant everywhere, but injustices abound. Domestic violence isoverwhelmingly committed by men against women. Sexual harassment is overwhelmingly committed by men against women.Promotional opportunities in the workforce, and in public life, favour men.

I am not suggesting that we who stand here today are personally responsible for these things, although I am not suggesting thatwe have never contributed to gender bias in our contexts. However, I think that all of us can step up to challenge injustice. Acouple of years ago the hashtag for International Women’s Day was #HeForShe. The slogan was calling one half of humanity tostand with the other half of humanity for the ultimate good of all. As a Christian, I think that #HeForShe – one half of humanitystanding with the other half of humanity – perfectly summarises a Christian response by men and boys against the injustices thatwe see, even if the injustice benefits us.

So why do we highlight and celebrate International Women’s Day? It reminds us that we live in a co-ed world. It prompts us toacknowledge the women whose contribution to us is so profound. It calls us to be men who will stand with women in the battleagainst gender bias, discrimination and harassment.

International Women’s Day is on Thursday. The Year 9 Monitors will be selling International Women’s Day ribbons for $3. Iencourage you to consider whether this statement is one that you want to make. The School Captain will address us on quad. And Iurge you to take the time, on International Women’s Day, to acknowledge those women whose gifts, expertise and efforts havesupported you.

ACADEMIC

Academic Focus | Opportunities for GrowthOne of the questions Year 7 has been exploring this week is whether they are learners who prefer work to be easily completed, orwhether they are prepared to embrace the tricky, messy kind of learning that involves making errors and trying again. They haveconsidered the role of mistakes in learning – whether they think successful learning is about minimal mistakes – or lots of mistakes!Inspired by a pithy reflection from the world’s most successful athlete, Michael Jordan, who insists his success is built upon the facthe has failed numerous times, the boys were encouraged to see the errors they make and the feedback for improvement theyreceive as critical opportunities for growth. We came to see that learning success is about making mistakes and putting in theeffort to understand and learn from those mistakes.

When I was challenged by one insightful boy as to whether I was saying that if I made enough mistakes and worked hard enough Icould beat anyone in anything – even Usain Bolt in a running race – I asked him what he thought about that. He replied that beatingothers really wasn’t the point, was it … the point was that by learning from mistakes and putting in effort I would beat myself – Iwould grow my own ability in remarkable ways.

At Trinity we seek to normalise a culture of learning from mistakes, as an opportunity for personal growth. This means weencourage boys to embrace challenging opportunities, to choose the more difficult options, to seek feedback for improvement, toidentify what they can do today that they could not do yesterday. This approach to learning is grounded in the seminal work onGrowth Mindset by Carol Dweck (Stanford University). Dweck’s work proved that students with an orientation towards learningthrough mistakes could achieve superior results on a range of cognitive tests, including Mathematics. She summarises herresearch like this: a mindset for challenge and effort plus a willingness to embrace feedback equals ongoing academicimprovement.

Another opportunity for growth is emerging for our Years 11 and 12 students who will soon engage in a period of examinations.The challenge leading up to these exams is for boys to mobilise their capacity for discipline, to reflect upon their current strengthsand weaknesses, to commit early to a program of structured study and effort, and to work with their teachers to ensure they havea comprehensive plan of preparation. These exams at this point in the learning journey do not represent a final point ofachievement, in fact, they rarely elicit boys’ best performances – but they do provide a chance to consolidate knowledge andevaluate the strength with which boys are able to apply this learning in examination contexts. The attached approach to studyprepared by Dr Prue Salter from Enhanced Learning offers a clear way forward for senior students seeking guidance onstudy.

Finally, in Term 2 we will enter our season of Parent-Teacher Interviews. Here is a third opportunity for student growth in whichparents are critically involved. A time for focussed feedback and setting of new strategies for challenge and improvement, theseconversations are pivotal in developing learners who accept responsibility and agency in their own academic pathways. While a fullschedule of interviews will be published next week, Year 12 parents are reminded that their interviews will take place on 28thMarch and online bookings are available from next Wednesday, 14th March.

Year 10 Careers Information Evening | ReflectionsIn Week 2 this term, Year 10 completed a series of tests related to developing a career profile. Part of the process included testingfor aptitude in general reasoning, a range of abilities and some other relevant workplace skills. Boys also completed aquestionnaire that identified the kind of working environment that they are most interested in. Information gathered through thistesting was presented to boys and their parents in the form of a comprehensive report called the Morrisby Profile.

Last Tuesday evening, Year 10 boys and their parents attended a Careers Information session where parents and students learnedmore about the Morrisby Careers Testing process and how to understand the Morrisby Profile reports.

Choosing a career should be an exciting and empowering process, but for many young people, it can be difficult to take a step backand look at the options objectively. Making the best choice for a career depends on:

knowledge of your personal strengths and preferences, andan understanding of what different occupations involve.

No careers test can give 'the answer' (as there is no single answer) but the Morrisby Report helps many understand their potentialand provides much of the information needed to make course and career decisions.

The feedback from parents on the night was overwhelmingly positive. Parents reported that this process helped them to know theirboys better and provided valuable insight into what subjects their son should select for Year 11.

CSx Concussion Management System at TrinityTrinity Grammar School aims to provide the best possible management of students who sustain head injuries and concussion.Because student welfare is the primary concern the School has implemented a concussion management system by CSxHeadguard. The aim of this system is to enable the collection of baseline data for informed decision making by Medical Professionalwhile providing parents and guardians with clear and accurate guidance.

Designed in New Zealand, the CSx Concussion Management System is currently being used by professional sporting organisationssuch as the AFL, NRL, and World Rugby. This is the first time the CSx System has been implemented in this capacity by a school inAustralia, making Trinity a leader in use of this CSx head injury management system.

Click here for a short presentation containing more information about the system >

We will be implementing the program late in Term 1, 2018. Baseline data obtained by responses to the SCAT 5 Concussion Test willbe collected for all players of AFL, Football and Rugby to assist and manage students in the event of a head injury. Data will becollected by the School's Senior Nurse, Mrs Katie Brooks, all data will be stored in line with the School's Privacy Policy.

CSx Concussion Management System is a tool to assist Medical Professionals in the diagnosis and treatment of potentially serioushead injuries and NOT a substitute for treatment by a Doctor.

It is worth noting that if a player sustains a suspected concussion, he WILL NOT be allowed to participate in physical activity untilcleared by his Doctor.

Basketball | CAS Round 9 vs Waverley1st V

“A depleted Trinity can’t stop a Waverley onslaught.”

Trinity’s tough season continued as they were crushed by a determined Waverley group who poured in one hundred plus points(69-102) on a fragile Greens team. From the outset Trinity were on the back foot as their Eastern Suburbs rival easily found holesin Trinity’s defence. Luke Gabriel (12Hi) and Tom Corias (12Hi) were able to connect on a couple of shots from late in theopening period, but the damaged had been inflicted on this young group as they trailed at the first break by thirteen points (16-29). Trinity regrouped a little in the second quarter and were able to stick with Waverley on the offensive end as Tyrese Proctor(9Fo) and Jack Nichol (10He) combined for thirteen points.

Defensively is where Trinity have struggled most of the season and if the Greens were to get cut into the fourteen-point half-timedeficit, they would have to get back to their standards that have served them so well in previous seasons. Alec Mackenzie(11WJ) continues to improve with his presence around the basket and Richard Ziade (11Mu) tried to inspire with a couple ofquick baskets, but Waverley proved to strong physically and athletically to outscore Trinity in the second half by nineteen points(33-52). It’s been a tough couple of weeks for Trinity with a number of players constantly missing through injury, illness and camps,all these factors having impacted greatly on the team’s preparation and confidence. Hopefully, the boys can regroup and send theYear 12 off in their final game with a Trinity-like performance.

Leading Scorers

Jack Nichol – 13 pts.

Tom Corias – 12 pts.

Luke Gabriel – 12 pts.

Tyrese Proctor – 10 pts.


Tom Corias (12Hi) floats a shot down the middle


Luck Nichol (10He) zeros in on the basket from deep

2nd V

The Seconds’ great form continued, making it three wins in a row with a comfortable nine-point victory (51-42). Eddy Alcock(11WJ) and William Bonaccorso (12St) combined well both defensively and offensively to see Trinity jump out to an earlydouble-digit lead. Playing his best game of the season, livewire point guard Justin Jasa (12Ho) dazzled with ball in hand andconnecting on shots on the drive, or from beyond the arc. Marcus Buvac’s (12WJ) dominance around the basket continued, scoring three straight hoops and then a big ‘3’ from Jonathon Roseworn (12WJ) at the end of the half gave the Greens all themomentum and seven-point lead at the half (28-21).

David Carreon’s (12St) relentless play at both ends countered any Waverley revival and the Greens physical play at thedefensive end continued through Justin McNamara (11Sc) and Anthony Mai (11WJ) in the paint and Harrison Barden (12Yo)on the perimeter in what was another dominant performance.

Leading Scorers


Justin Jasa – 12 pts.

Dave Carreon – 11 pts.

Marcus Buvac – 10 pts

Harrsion Barden (12Yo) slips through for an easy two


Justin McNamara (11Sc) powers over the Waverley defence

3rd V

Trinity put in a complete performance, leading from the start to the finish. It was a fine display of teamwork and confidence in eachother to execute on the fast break and commit defensively. Darcy Edwards (12WJ) and Jonathan Zheng (12WH) wereoutstanding with their relentless pressure which caused numerous turnovers to allow Andrew Jin (12WJ) to score a game high inpoints and break through the 200-point mark for the season. Nabeel Hatoum (11WJ) also proved hard to handle in and aroundthe basket.

4th V

The pressure that the team placed on the opposition from the start was relentless throughout the game. Hugh Casimir (11WH)and Miller Tauilili-Palesasa (11He) worked well together to be able to both feed Jacob Taylor-Tighe (12Ta) the ball in good


position for easy baskets. A big effort is required this week if Trinity is to secure the Premiership.

5th V

The Fifths kept their slight hopes of capturing a Premiership with a third straight victory. Good use of a full court pressure fromTrinity created constant turnover ball. Philip Choi (12Fo) was impressive on his return from injury and Mahdi Makki(12La) played superbly as team leader.

6th V

The Sixths’ machine bounced back in a big way with a resounding thirty-seven-point victory. Jorge Paraskevopoulos (11Fo) wascreative and powerful within the Trinity structure, while Joshua Roberts (12We) displayed again the tenacity for which he waspromoted. The Greens and Coach Bamford need a victory in the final game if they are to cap of a great season with a Premiership.

7th V

The 7ths secured a solid victory over Waverley by 31 points. Joe Basta (12Ar) scored a whopping 16 points, at one point nearlysetting the net on fire. With his characteristic thunderous dribbling and a lightning lay-up, Calvin Nguyen (11St) finally scored inthe final minutes of the game, ensuring that every team member put points on the board.

8th V

The 8ths had their best game of the season, completely dominating Waverley. Every Trinity boy scored at least four points; and themighty Paresh Moodley (11WH) could not be stopped by the significantly taller and heavier Waverley boys. In the dying minutesthe opposition was heard wishing that the game could be changed to Rugby, but alas, such wishes fell on deaf ears.

9th V

In a game that began with great intensity and did not let up for the entire match, Trinity were able to hold on to defeat St. Joseph’sfrom the GPS. Will Raptis (12Ta) distinguished himself both on offence, as lead point-scorer, and on defence, securing reboundsand as an imposing presence in the key.

10th V

The Tenths secured a confident 10-point victory over St. Joseph's College. Both teams fought hard but, in the end, it was thesuperior shooting and lay-up accuracy of Christopher Jeffree (11Ho) and Ashwin Aggarwal (12We) that proved the difference.Austin Bonner-Smith (11Ar) is also worthy of mention for his tireless effort defensively to intercept St. Joseph’s passes and tocreate opportunities for his teammates in transition.

Year 9A

The emphasis for The Greens this weekend was heavily on defence, and they were extremely successful in that regard. Led byThomas Buvac (WJ) and strong defensive efforts from Bertie Alcock (WJ) and Hayden Johnson (WH) helped set the tone forthe game, as Waverley were held to 10 in the first half, and only four points in the second half. If Trinity are to tie for thePremiership, then they must defeat an undefeated Knox team in the final game of the season.

Year 9C

While it was another impressive win for the Greens, this great effort was based on their full court defensive commitment. As aresult, this caused Waverley to make a magnitude of turnovers being visibly uneasy with Trinity’s pressure. The beneficiary of mostof these turnovers happened to be Adam Pascale (Ke) and Lewis Kanellos (He). Their pressure and intensity on the defensiveend resulted in each of them leading the game in points; with Adam having 10 and Lewis scoring 8. Another honourable mentiongoes to Alistair Roseworn (WJ) who also had a significant impact in the game.

Year 9D

It was a slow start for Trinity, as they fell behind early. The Greens stepped up their defensive effort as a group led by AndrewCavallaro (He) who was instrumental in the comeback. With the scores level, both Schools exchanged baskets for most of thesecond half, before Waverley took a two-point lead with only seconds remaining. With this being said, Trinity did not give up and inthe final play of the game off a perfectly executed play by the Trinity players, Vangeli Tsintominas (Sc) sank the game winning‘3-pointer’ from the corner, every basketballers dream.

Year 9ECopyright Trinity Grammar School 2018. All Rights Reserved. 16 of 66

A frenetic start gave Waverley some early confidence, but then Trinity found their groove and never looked back. All played well,but it was the attacking efforts of Lucas Pezzano (Fo) and James Pau (Ta) that gave Trinity the lead, and the win.

Year 9F

In a much closer contest than previous weeks, Trinity prevailed over Waverley with some key defensive adjustments and acommitment to better ball movement in the second half. Instrumental in this was the endless energy of Liam Filby (Yo) thesmooth ball handling of Owen Peck (Fo).

Year 9G

Trinity were able to hold on to win by just single basket in an exciting finish to a great game. Highlights included Sam Wade (Ke)scoring back to back baskets in under ten seconds late in second half and Deen Rasool (WH) fine shooting over the course ofthe game made a big impact to the result.

Year 9H

The 9Hs had a strong win, controlling the tempo throughout the contest. William Martin (WH) inspired his teammates with hisrelentless defensive pressure which constantly frustrated the Waverley offense.

Year 8A

Trinity have really improved as a unit in recent weeks and this outstanding result reflected this. Bailey Chambers (Ta) had hisbest game to date, running the team and at the same time being aggressive on offence. James Arthur (WH) continues to improveoffensively, but it’s on defence where he is at his best.

Year 8B

The 8Bs reversed the disappointment of round one with a great victory, thus keeping their Premiership aspiration intact. It was ondefence where Trinity won the game, holding Waverley to only 7 points in the first half. Alexander Saba (WJ) was tremendousinside the paint, setting great screens for his teammates and making his layups. Justin Wang (WJ) continues to improve andbrings contagious energy every time he steps on the court.

Year 8C

Trinity reversed the round one defeat with a very tough one-point victory. Coming from a five-point deficit in the opening half tofight back is a testament of this group’s resilience. Aiden Daher (Ke) and Daniel Lu (We) both had tremendous games, whilePaulo Tauiliili-Pelesasa (He) had a strong game in the paint.

Year 8D

The 8Ds’ winning ways continued. Standout performances included William Moir (Hi) with 10 points and Sam Waddington (Mu)with his ability to get free around the basket picked up 9 points. Keelan Stephandellis (Hi) leadership at the point position wasalso vital to Trinity’s success.

Year 8E

After losing harshly in round one, the 8Es were eager to put in a strong performance. Solid defence from Jesse Ring (He) andJoshua Van Der Goot (We) were able to mitigate Waverley’s offensive chances. After the break Trinity picked up the pace andwent on an 8-0 run with Jack Greaves (We) powering his way to the basket and Sam Darling (Hi) making some mid-range jumpshots. In the end Trinity extracted revenge with a seven-point victory.

Year 8G

The 8Gs put in a dominant performance yet again, controlling the game for much of the time. Although the Greens played most ofthe game in the opposition court, wayward shooting saw the score line tighten just before half time. However, a stellarperformance from Blake Hui (Ta) ensured that our comfortable lead was restored. A special mention also goes to AriNikolakopoulos (Yo) who used his height advantage to win rebounds.

Year 8H

A strong start reaped rewards, as Trinity fought to win rebounds and play the game in the opposition court. In the end it was acomfortable victory, despite allowing the opposition to make a small revival late in the contest. Standout performances were given


by Andrew Tanous (Du), who shot the ball well and Jackson Steele (Ta) for his relentless tenacity.

Year 7B

The 7Bs made it back-to-back wins in a tightly contested game. Joel Maher (Ta) put on a scoring clinic coming off the benchmaking valuable layups to keep the scoreboard ticking over. Noah De Barros (Ke) was yet again perfect on the glass providingTrinity with every rebound and contesting Waverley’s shots. Jamie Kim (Ke) led the team exceptionally well in crucial times latein the game to ensure a Greens’ victory.

Year 7F

Trinity started the game off strongly with John Mitrothanasis (WH) and Max Lusty (Sc) providing the team with good defenceand rebounding. New addition Hugo Reed (Ho) also contributed through his playmaking which allowed Trinity to end the half witha sizeable lead. A few early baskets made by Pavle Ceprnja (St) at the start of the second half added to this lead. Good ballcontrol by John Hrsto (St) and hustle by Finley Ross (WH) at the end of the game helped secure the match for Trinity.

Year 7G

With Trinity looking for a fourth straight victory, the undefeated 7Gs started strong with Beier Chen (Yo) leading the scoring in thefirst half. A Waverley revival was soon put to rest by the tough defence from Nicholas Dasios (We) and Peter Argyrou (Fo).

Year 7H

With a loss last week, Trinity looked for redemption. Strong starts from Jamie Alison (Ke) and Zane Nazha (Mu) gave the team abig lead early. From then on, the Greens never looked back as Jye Lawerence (Ke) and Giuseppe Barca (Ar) hustled on thedefensive end to maintain a big winning margin.

Cricket vs WaverleyThe penultimate round of the CAS season saw Trinity take on Waverley. Overall it was a positive day for the men in Green andWhite with a number of emphatic victories recorded across the board.

1st XI

Although Trinity already have already claimed the CAS premiership, it was important that we finish the season undefeated.Unfortunately, Matthew Turner (12Ho) failed to continue his winning of the toss, so Waverley put themselves in to bat. With theball, Trinity started emphatically, claiming 6 wickets in the first 10 overs, Sebastian Buchanan (10Sc) was steaming in,intimidating the batsmen with his expressive pace and hitting the deck hard to utilise the bounce in the wicket, Sebastian claimed 4wickets tearing through the Waverly top order. Vasi Macmillan (12Ho) claimed 2 wickets with the new ball, bowling tight andconsistent line and length, troubling the batsmen. After countless plays and misses, Vasi claimed his two wickets through theWaverley’s top orders defence. Kenneth Chu (11Mu) steamed in and bowled ‘stump to stump’, a perfect example on what fullpitch bowling can produce, he claimed 3 wickets to have Waverley in an immense amount of trouble with the score at 8/38, after alate surge from the tail enders for Waverley, they ended up with 74, Luca Dimeglio (10La) picking up the final wicket. After asuperb bowling performance, it left our batsmen with little to do. Josh Yeoh (10Sc) and Ritvik Dinesh (11Ke) started the chasewell, punishing the loose deliveries and respecting the good balls, as we had more than enough time to secure the victory forTrinity. Josh was dismissed which brought Kenneth Chu (11Mu) who quickly piled up the required runs with minimal risk endingup on 25no, while Ritvik controlled the innings, playing conventional strokes all around the ground. Trinity secured the victoryinside 25 overs, highlighting the dominance that Trinity has had in this year’s competition. Trinity travels to Knox this weekend forthe last CAS round, hoping to seal back to back undefeated titles.

2nd XI

On Saturday afternoon, the Trinity 2nd XI played Waverley College at Queen’s Park 1 with Trinity winning the toss and sendingWaverley into bat.

Once again, the devastating combination of opening quicks Jack Bermingham (11Mu) (3-16) and Dillon Srikumar (11WJ) (2-0)was on display, taking quick wickets to constrict the opening overs to 2-13 off 8. Dillon was impossible to get away as he bowled aperfect spell of 6 maiden overs. Finn Ritchie (12Ke) also took advantage grabbing 2 wickets. Christian Morfuni (11Ar)demonstrated the epitome of reactive slips fielding, taking two spectacular catches and in his first over of the CAS season was ableto uproot off stump with an unplayable second delivery. With a dominant bowling performance, no Waverley batsmen were toreach double figures; all out for 60 off 30 overs.

With the season coming to an end TGS decided to trial a new batting order, however swift wickets left the modest chase at 3-23.But who else to entertain the crowd with aggressive stroke play than Finn Ritchie (12Ke) and George Panopoulos (11He). Theyscored 24 n.o. and 15 n.o. respectively, overpowering the Waverley bowling attack and reaching the target in the 14th over withoutfurther loss of wickets.

Now just one Saturday away from the undefeated CAS premiership the boys are ready for a final showdown at TGS 1 on Saturdaythe 10th against Knox. Thank you to parent’s Evan and Jude who once again scored and the vocal support from the mums anddads in the grandstand.

3rd XI

It is with great pleasure that I get to report on a magnificent victory for the 3rd XI. The Trinity boys batted first and did remarkablywell to score 3/182. The lions share of the scoring was done by Sam York (11Hi). Backing up his score of 50 last week, Samdestroyed the Waverley bowlers from the outset and was intent on scoring his first hundred. He was dismissed on the last ball ofthe Trinity innings with his score on 110. Not a bad effort for his second competitive game since Year 6! Trinity’s bowlers still had ajob to do and the spin twins of Daniel White (11La) and Aathavan Srinivasan (12St) both claimed 2 wickets as Trinity bowledWaverley out for a total of 93 runs.

10A

On Saturday the 10As were looking to secure a win against an unpredictable Waverley Team at Queens Park. After Waverley wonthe toss, they chose to bat. We had a great bowling performance from Thomas Thorpe (10Sc) who picked up an early wicket.This opened the floodgates for Ritvik Sharma (10Mu) who had a brilliant spell of 2 for 5 off 2 overs. Also, special mention mustgo to Angus Mooney (10La) who had a tidy spell, Sanjay Anandarajah (10Du), and Matt Uglow (10He) who picked up keywickets. After bowling Waverley all out for 96, we were determined to get the win, so that we can still be contenders for thePremiership. Again, Thomas Thorpe (10Sc) batted well by getting quick singles and putting all the bad balls away. Anton Demark(10Sc) and Patrick Fouracre (10WH) both had good knocks and put us into a secure position. With a short cameo from SamuelDennis (10St) who hit the winning runs, we had defeated Waverley with 3 overs to spare.

Pierce Foley (10Fo)

8B

Facing the challenge of back to back wins, captain Liam Clayton (8Fo) won his first toss of the year and elected to bat infavourable batting conditions. However, after losing three wickets in the first five overs Trinity were on the back foot. Informbatsman Jack Trinder (8Hi) was joined by his skipper at the crease as the pair looked for a long stay. Jack played aggressor as hebrought up a well-earned 50 tearing the Waverley bowlers too all parts of the ground. A brilliant partnership was brought to an endas Liam was dismissed ending a 60 run partnership. After being unluckily run out Jack finished an innings saving and potentialmatch winnings innings on 77, which saw him play a perfect balance between defence and attack. Another scintillating cameoinnings from Tom Jenkins (8Fo) saw him make a quick fire 28 and bring the Trinity total to 160. With their tails up Trinity wentinto the field hungry for wickets, with Oscar Martin (8Sc) leading the way, providing multiple unplayable deliveries to earn a pairof top order wickets. Eesa El-Hassan (8We) bowled economically as he and leg spinner Oliver Walker (8Fo) ran through theWaverley middle order earning two wickets each. With the wickets tumbling it was Nick Keogh (8Ta) who finished off the tailearning himself three wickets at the cost of only two runs, earning the 8Bs back to back wins for the first time this season.

8C

Trinity bowled first against Waverley and were keen to bowl a tight line and length. They boys performed exceptionally well torestrict Waverley to 8-60. Some outstanding work form Euan Kenny (8Ke) in the field taking 3 catches and also being involved ina runout, as well as Henry Ward (8Du) who did an exceptional job as Captain to restrict Waverley to such a score. The bowlingwas very evenly shared with everyone chipping in. Trinity then chased the target inside 8 overs only losing one wicket. Thestandout was Will Gray (8WJ) who hit 33 not out including a big 6. Wilson Russell (8Ar) also batted well, and showed he hasdeveloped good confidence as an opener scoring 14. All in all, an outstanding performance from the boys and a deserving win.

Nick Bishop | 8Cs Coach

7A

The 7As started the day down to just ten players as two team members had to pull out due to illness. We knew this would be achallenge but were keen to win our first home game at TGS.

We bowled and fielded with great discipline with all the bowlers keeping it tight. Eventually Waverley decided they needed to hitout to post a reasonable total but their decision to try to take down Ryan Gupta's (7WJ) leggies proved disastrous! Ryan bowledwith great control and courage to claim 4-14, bowling Waverley out for just 110 runs in 31 overs.

With only 10 batsmen we knew we could not afford any cheap dismissals, but a couple of poor shots and silly run outs put us underreal PRESSURE. It was left to Harry Hindle (7WJ) and Jai Sharma (7Mu) to produce a match-winning partnership. Harry'saggressive 50 was particularly impressive.

When Harry was dismissed within sight of victory it was left to Marcus Lorenzato (7Fo) to hit the winning runs as we passedWaverley's total 6 wickets down.

A great effort overall by a side gaining in confidence and awareness.

The 7Bs second win of the season came at the expense of Waverley, as the boys cruised to a reasonably easy win. Waverley wonthe toss electing to bat first. After 25 overs they were all out for 59. Our stand out bowlers were Marcus Jutrisa (7WJ), ThomasPowell (7Ho), Aidan Carmichael (7Hi) and Bede Dunn (7St). In just under 15 overs, the Trinity boys proved to be handyenough with the bat to score the 60 runs required for the well-deserved win. The final score was Trinity 5/66 defeated Waverley10/59. Well done boys!

Bill Pratt | 7Bs Coach

7C

The 7Cs returned to TGS No. 2 to play Waverley. After 2 tough games away at Barker and St. Aloysius, Trinity was keen to showtheir supporters what they’ve been working on during the week. Trinity won the toss and elected to field. This proved to be a greatcaptain’s call by Mark Charas (7Ho) with the likes of bowling figures of 1/1 by Chris Kong (7La) and 2/2 by Jack Waide (7Ke).The bowling was closely supported with tight fielding and exceptional catches namely by Christian Pulley (7Fo) and Aman Shaw(7Ar). With a total of 8/70 after 20 overs, Trinity set themselves a realistic task to take their second win of the season. Solidcontributions by all top order batsmen, namely Joshua Munter (7Hi) with 30 runs, meant the total was reached by the 16th over.The team is growing stronger week by week and it is pleasing to see the players develop friendships and their skills over the pastfew weeks. Well done 7Cs!

1st XI Vs OTU

On Tuesday the 1st XI played their annual fixture against the OTU and a more exciting game you could not ask for. Batting first theOTU scored 190 from their allotted 25 overs. After the early wickets of Danul Dassanayake (Class of 2013) and Matthew Dedes(Class of 2013), Tom Doyle (Class of 2014) set about dispatching the 1st XI bowlers to all parts (and in a lot of cases beyond) TGS 1.He scored a brilliant 94 before being dismissed by Finn Ritchie (12 Ke). Alex Kouventaris (Class of 2013) combined with DanielTartak (class of 2003) and Jason Burgess (class of 2004) to post a final total of 190.

In reply, the 1st XI began solidly with Tim Ledden (12Yo) showing why he has been so dominant for the 2nd XI this season. Hetreated Phillip Mugridge (class of 2011) and Aaron Scott (Class of 1999) with disdain as he continually slapped boundaries throughthe covers. At the other end Kenneth Chu (11Mu) was easing into his work initially, before opening the shoulders against AndrewPararajasingham (Class of 2003) and Richard Bishop (Class of 1986). With one over remaining the 1st XI required 8 runs for victoryoff the Aaron Scott over. With 1 ball remaining Kenneth Chu required 3 runs for his maiden century and the team also needed 3 towin. Kenneth managed to hit a 2, leaving him stranded on 99 not out and scores level. A super over was called. The 1st XI hit 13 offtheir over and in reply the OTU also hit 13. The match ended in a very fair result for both teams – a tie.

It was great to see so many of the old boys again and the boys in the 1st XI greatly appreciated them giving up their time to play inthe fixture.

This weekend sees Trinity side’s take on Knox in the final round of what has been a memorable season. Good luck to all teams.

Tennis vs WaverleyIt was back to the winning circle for the majority of TGS Tennis teams last weekend in a lopsided fixture against Waverley College.Congratulations must be extended to our students who were able to achieve an 82% winning rate across the 17 matchescontested. Our very successful Year7 A/B teams played a grand final of sorts against their undefeated opposition but unfortunatelycouldn’t convert a win. I am positive that the result would have been much closer if they had been at full strength. I hope theyclose out a great season with a win against Knox tomorrow.

The 1st IV played well against their less able opponents and won 3 of the 4 doubles sets which enabled them to take more chancesin the singles. Once again James McCabe (10St) secured an impressive singles victory over his temperamental opponent to thetune of 6-1. Another excellent singles victory was recorded by Max Nguyen (8Yo) who won to a similar score line as James .Stanley Chen (12We) played well and led for the majority of his set before conceding in the dying stages against a persistentopponent.

The 2nd IV were untouchable ,disposing of their shell-shocked opponents in record time. All our players were too strong in both thedoubles and singles components of the match with the team running out easy winners 8 sets to love.

In other news James McCabe was an invaluable asset to the CAS Representative team who were victorious over ISA earlier in theweek. James playing in the number 2 position won all his sets displaying a comprehensive array of weaponry in what was a fineoverall performance.

3rds And 4ths

Both teams enjoyed emphatic victories last week against Waverley College, notching up another 6 – 0 result. However, some of thematches were more closely contested than the score line suggests. Solid groundstrokes, heavy, accurate serving and fancy net-play generally characterised Trinity’s efforts to outplay their opposition. This week especial mention goes to Henry Meyer(11Sc) on his impressive 6-0 win in the Singles, and to Lachlan Sleiman (11Ta) and Quentin Dai (11Du) on their 6-0 Doublesvictory. All players are to be congratulated on their composure and determination. The final fixture tomorrow at Knox promises tobe a tight tussle and the boys will need to bring their best game, physical and mental, to the court.

10As And 10Bs

Last Saturday marked the second fixture of the season against Waverley for the 10As and Bs. With an early start away from home,the As were not fazed at all coming out of the doubles without dropping a set. A long singles match in the heat proved tough forour A1 Tom Jin (10Yo), but he was able to overcome this and win his singles 6-4. This would set the tone for the fixture for our Aswith Alex Mallis (10Sc) able to close out the fixture and complete the sweep 6 sets to 0, dropping only 6 games overall.

With the As completing a dominant performance, the Bs were keen on proving that they too were a force to be reckoned with. Theboys started off a bit shakily in both doubles, but once they settled into the match, they were able to get the job done, winning 6-2 and 6-3 respectively. Some strong showings from Selwyn Chang (10Ar) and Aryan Rawal (10Mu) got the singles rollingwinning both sets 6-0. The Bs were keen to do one better than their As teammates and ultimately did by winning all singles sets 6-0, conceding only 5 games overall. Overall it was a very strong showing and a dominant display from both Trinity teams.

Brendan Bechara | 10As and 10Bs Coach

9As And 9Bs

The penultimate fixture this season was 9As and 9Bs most successful round the year so far. Both teams recorded wins in what wasa very one-sided affair. The 9As dominated with 6 sets to love, and 37 games to 15. Trinity boys maintained a high level of fiercecompetitive tennis in both the doubles and single sets. In only one set did the Waverley opposition push our boys. Luka Saxena(9He) was the Trinity half of one of the most competitive and interesting sets all season. The lead consistently changed from oneside to the other, and as a result a great deal of tension built throughout the entire length of the set. A triumphant (but exhausted)Luka claimed the set in the 7-5 in tie-break! It was clear that this win for Trinity had meant a great deal to Luka – his satisfactionwas palpable.

The 9Bs win was a much less satisfying one. Waverly only manage to field two of the four players required for the fixture. Thismeant Trinity were immediately handed a 3 sets lead.

This total was added to by Liam Ling (9La) and Tony Georges (9We) who both comprehensively outplayed their opponents.


This sealed the win, but unfortunately two Trinity boys were deprived of playing for their school in a competitive set of singles anddoubles. It is hoped that this disappointment highlights the fact that good communication regarding sport involvement is neededthroughout the season. Players not turning up impacts not only their team’s chances of winning, but also diminishes other boys’opportunities to play for their school. Ryan Snowsill (9Ho) and Christopher Chin (9Hi) should be commended on the maturityand good nature when confronted with the weekend’s frustrations. Although they didn’t represent the School on the court, theirattitude when facing this disappointment was admirable.

William Henry | 9As and 9Bs Coach

8As And 8Bs

Waverley was the opponent this week as they hosted Trinity at Mutch Park early on Saturday morning.

The As started with a bang, proving early that they were the superior team. Dylan Guler (8WH) teamed up with Josh Alha(8Ho) and they wasted no time in getting to work on their opposition, walking away with a huge 6-3 win. Teammates SpyrodonKonidaris (8Sc) and Joshua Marcos (8Fo) followed suit, playing some outrageous points to nab a 6-4 victory. The boys werereally out to impress on Saturday as they turned it up even more in the singles. The results included a dominant 6-1 win for Dylan,a scintillating 6-0 for Spyrodon, a comfortable 6-3 for Joshua and a hard-fought 6-4 for Josh. This left us with an astounding 6-0victory, one of the best performances the boys have given this season.

Meanwhile, the Bs had a slower start to their fixture. Waverley proved too strong in the doubles as they came away with two wins,as Noah Glynn (8WJ) and Jonathan Gremos (8Fo) were defeated 4-6 and Lachlan Wolfe (8St) and Sebastian Ghisso(8He) went down in a tough 1-6 match. The boys really needed to dig deep in the singles to get back on track, and Sebastianstarted nicely with a 6-4 win while Noah fought off a persistent opponent to clinch a 7-5 victory. However, their teammates wereunable to secure their respective sets, as Jonathan lost 2-6 and Lachlan was defeated 1-6. Waverley was therefore able to claim a4-2 win on sets, another close loss for our Trinitarians.

Harrison Gai | 8As and 8Bs Coach

7As And 7Bs

It was a very tough round for the 7As and Bs over the weekend against a very strong Waverley team, with both Trinity teams goingdown 1 set to 5.

Due to illness, our A1 player Max Knauer (7Ho) was absent, which meant everyone had to step up a position and step up theirgame against an even stronger opponent. Unfortunately, it was not the best start to the day with both doubles pairings going down1-6. Gabrielle Simones Peixeiro (7Sc) played in the A1 position and played extremely well. He was ahead for most of the game, but failed to convert some vital points and eventually lost 4-6. Liam Wingrave (7Ar) and George Nicholas (7Wj) both had atough day out and lost to strong opponents. Big congratulations to Alex Runciman (7Yo) for stepping up into the As to win theonly match of the day for the As 7-6.

The year 7Bs found it very difficult to get some games on the board. With new doubles combinations, Aneesh Nagaratnam(7Yo) and Joseph Cantlon (7Du) went down 1-6. Adam Bahmad (7Ho) and Adrian Ong (7St) were overpowered by somereally good tennis players and lost their doubles 0-6. There was no difference in the singles with all the boys finding it difficult toget into their games against very consistent players. Player of the day for the Bs goes to Adrian who stepped up from C2 into theBs and won his singles match quite convincingly 6-2.

Volleyball vs Scots'Trinity Defeated Scots’ College 3-0 (25-11, 25-19, 25-6)

In the penultimate match of this summer season, the roaring Scots’ College proved no match for the unstoppable might of Trinity’sFirst VI. The first set got off to a good start, with Trinity controlling the front court through strong utilisation of trusty middle-blockerAlec Mackenzie (11WJ), putting ball after ball deep into Scots’ defence, and allowing Trinity to take the set for their own. Due tosome lapses in concentration in the second set, Scots’ managed to get ahead in points for a tense period, but they did not getahead in morale, and as such, Trinity clawed back the score in a mighty comeback to claim the set 25-19. Special mention shouldgo to the ‘quarterbacks of the team’, Piers Connolly (12Ar) and Calvin Li (12Ar), whose precise setting helped propel Trinityback into a primary position for them to reclaim the set. Finally, after Trinity’s fine comeback in the second set, Scots’ moraleseemed to collapse, and excellent serving streaks from Nicholas Tsiakos (11We) and good all-round play enabled Trinity to winthe set 25-6 and close out the game 3-0. Overall, a mighty effort from Trinity’s First VI against a good team, with only one lastgame standing between them and the undefeated premiership.

Ollie Arkell (12WJ) | 1st VI Captain

Trinity Defeated Scots’ College 2-0 (25-8, 25-3)

Trinity’s Seconds had sought to continue their streak of wins against Scots’ College. The first set saw Trinity off to a slow start,losing many points due to complacency and missed serves. This was a game that required continual focus and consistency, whichwas epitomized by the consecutive service aces that had brought the Seconds to a first set lead. Ethan Gunaratnam (12Ar) gaveScots’ an even harder time with his strong hitting through the middle and Theodore Vomvellis (11Fo) likewise won the team theset with his clever spiking down the line at outside. The second set witnessed the breaking of an unofficial Seconds’ record. A run of19 consecutive serves broke the previous record of 18 to earn the team a 23-1 lead against Scots’ and shortly after win the set.With only one more game to go for the summer season, Trinity’s Seconds seek to continue this level of consistent performance tofirstly, win the premiership undefeated but more importantly become a premiership challenger in the more difficult CAS/GPS winterseason.

William Xie (12Fo) | 2nds VI Captain

Trinity Defeated Scots’ 2-0 (25-11, 25-23)

The third game of the second half of the season started in the best way possible for the thirds. Communication was great, thepasses were great, and the sets were on point. It was a great game to watch and showed off how much the Thirds have improvedover the last few months. The combination of David Gabriel (9Hi) and Ben Powell (9Ho) was fantastic especially when theywere setting to each other to spike. Adding to this combination was Jack Braga (9Du) with a several great spikes. This created amassive lead which led to the thirds winning the first set. The second set didn’t start the same as the first with both teams winninga point each going back and forth. This really put the thirds spirits down. The Thirds came back and took control of the last fewpoints of the set.

13A Vs St Joseph’sCopyright Trinity Grammar School 2018. All Rights Reserved. 34 of 66

Lost 6-7

A very closely-fought game resulting in a narrow loss. Trinity squandered many goal-scoring opportunities by shooting directly attheir goal keeper and then allowing St Joseph’s too many easy shots at our goal by not pressing in defence. Best for Trinity wasCooper Twine (7Mu) who defended well and scored two goals. Mitchell Chen (7Ar), Samuel Foung (7Sc), Max Wende-Dunstan (7Du) and Harrison Ryan (7Ta) also scored.

13B Vs St Joseph’s

Won 9-2

A comprehensive 9-2 win. The game started slowly with a nil all score line at quarter time. We then settled down and played goodteam Water Polo to score a number of goals and limit St Joseph’s scoring for most of the remainder of the game. Miles Brigham(7WH), Evan Tong (7Fo) and Alex Delgado (7St) each scored two goals with Lucas Blythe (7La), Johnathon Manikis (7La)and James Boulougouris (7Sc) scoring one each.

Golf | Round 9, North Ryde Golf Club2017/2018 Independent Schools Golf Series

Round 9, North Ryde Golf Club, 3/3/2018

We headed back to North Ryde Golf Club for some St Patricks’ hospitality as they hosted the penultimate round of the Golf Series.The course had a tinge of green to the fairways after some recent and much needed rain! Ejun Choi (12Ho) was unfortunatelyunable to play again, sadly as we need him badly, though we remain much more concerned about his health, we trust he can getwell and join us again soon.

Jack Barter (8St) stepped up to his match with much enthusiasm and seems to be getting into the Match Play concept more eachweek. I have no doubt he will be a force to be reckoned with in coming years. He immediately went 2up in his match after twoholes. However, some inconsistency again cost him as he allowed his opponent back into the match. Though, that being said, thematch was firmly in Jack’s hands for the duration, he went down fighting to the bitter end, pleasingly, on the 16th green, 4 and 2.

Sebastian Sara (8Du) was up against a fast improving young golfer from the Riverview team who is just on the cusp of droppinga heap of shots. Many readers may remember a time when they began to play golf when suddenly their handicap went from 23 to17 in a couple of weeks. This is certainly the case for this fine and promising young golfer to whom Sebastian gave a whopping 16shots! Needless to say, his opponent was hitting it well! It was ‘dormy’ in the match with two to play. Sebastian lost the 17th with abogey after trouble off the tee and on the 18th his opponent calmly, for a 23 handicapper!!! I know, right? Flushed a sweet iron tothe middle of the 18th green and two putted for par to halve the match! To Sebastian’s credit, he didn’t give up, despite hisfrustration!

If anyone was wondering what the large glow to the north was on Saturday afternoon and were thinking some strange weatherevent was occurring in some in part of the biggest suburb in the world, Ryde! They would be incorrect, it was actually the ‘smile onthe dial’ of Sebastian Ilett (11Sc) who rattled off a stretch 7 straight successive wins to crush his opponent 5 and 4. Sebastianhas pretty much bagged the moniker of our ‘most improved golfer’ this past season and deserves hearty congratulations for hisapplication to the game and our team!

We are super privileged to be able to enjoy a round on the fabulous Monash Golf Club layout tomorrow! What fabulous way to enda sweet season of golf in the ‘Green and White’!

Good golfing,

Rugby | From the MICThe Friends of Rugby (FOR) AGM traditionally foreshadows the commencement of the Rugby season. As usual, the AGM began withthe dissolution of the 2017 Executive Committee, preparing the path for nominations to key roles on the 2018 Committee.

It is with great pleasure that I announce the appointment of the 2018 FOR Committee. Mr Drue Prentice accepted the role ofSecretary, with Mr Jason Tighe being nominated and appointed to the position of Vice President. The members’ nomination of JohnCorias, the 2017 President, for the position of Committee President, was unanimously accepted by all present.

My thanks and gratitude are also extended to those parents who offered to volunteer their time to support the School inmaintaining and developing the Rugby Program. To this end, the FOR-Facebook page has been reactivated, hopefully encouragingfurther involvement from across the spectrum of the School community.

With one week to go before the Winter Trials, I would like to encourage all boys who registered to play Rugby this year to attend alltraining sessions and to take full advantage of the opportunities presented on the internal trial days.

REFLECTIONS FROM THE MATHEMATICS CLUB DISCOVERY EVENING

On Wednesday, Trinity Grammar School Mathematics Club hosted yet another Mathematics Discovery Evening special event forstudents interested in expanding their minds about careers in Mathematics and its Applications to the real world.

Mathematics is a universal part of human culture. It helps us to recognise patterns and understand the world around us.Mathematics plays a vital and often unseen role in many aspects of modern life. Business and industry need workers who can solvereal-world problems, explain their thinking to others, identify and analyse trends in data, and use modern technology. TheUniversity of Technology Sydney prides itself on producing Mathematicians who are capable of achieving this goal for business andindustry.

The event was a wonderful opportunity for the boys to experience what it is like to be a university student and gain an insight intothe field that they may one day not only pursue as a career and illustrating the importance of Mathematics, but also in theireveryday life. The event was staged as a workshop Q&A format and we had the privilege of having an extremely knowledgeableand experienced university member to answer our questions. Our panel of experts included our hosts of Dr Stephen Woodcock(Academic from the Faculty of Science); Kimberly Cullen (Outreach and Promotions Officer) and experienced postgraduate studentsfrom UTS to assist of with the evening workshops.

The first half of the night proved both engaging and enlightening with many interesting questions and discussions on theimportance of Maths, its place in the world and the growing need for mathematicians to analyse numbers and solve world issues.Today, there’s more data than ever being gathered on all aspects of everyday life. The challenge for applied mathematicians andstatisticians is to make sense of this information and to use it for our benefit. Although given the power and speed of moderncomputers, why does this work need humans at all? In many cases, the trends in a dataset might be “obvious” and easily detectedand interpreted by an automated package. For example, looking at the connection between a nation’s income and its inhabitants’life expectancy, we can see that people in richer nations tend to live longer.

The evening also consisted of the following workshop session on Mobius Maths: There is more to maths than you might realise – thegraphics in animations and video games have improved thanks to Maths; Maths can make or break a building design, and can evenbe used to tell a love story! In this workshop, students and parents covered the following examples below in an engaging look atsome of the unexpected applications of Maths:

Logic and algebra in computer scienceCopyright Trinity Grammar School 2018. All Rights Reserved. 42 of 66

Statistics and modelling in business/finance/economicsAlgorithms for solving Rubik cubesCryptography and encryptionPolygon smoothing in animationSkyscraper death raysLove StoriesSuperheroes.

The workshop on Creativity Counts investigated on how Mathematics can apply to rules and formulae’s and how creativity inmathematics are very much linked. The students were provided hands-on activities, to see and make use of creativity in problemsolving with great effect.

At the end of the session, the students and parents were able to engage with the University presenters; asking many questions andshowing great enthusiasm and passion for Mathematics. The Club is looking forward in having future collaborative opportunitieswith the UNSW in providing the opportunities for students with a range of mathematical abilities to access new ideas in promotingbest practices in Mathematics for our boys. Finally, The Mathematics Club would like to thank all of our presenters for theiroutstanding and stimulating presentations!

World’s Greatest ShaveHair style is probably the most important aspect of uniform in an elite private boys' school such as Trinity.

However, for many Australians facing cancer, treatment often brings about hair loss, one of the most emotionally difficult aspectsof the cancer process, especially for young people.

That’s why this year’s Prefects have chosen to follow tradition and take part in the World’s Greatest Shave, to raise funds for theLeukemia foundation, which supports Australian families battling blood cancer.

The shave is scheduled to take place on the Friday of Week 7, with several students and teachers taking part.

Our current goal as a Prefect group is to raise $10,000 for the Leukemia foundation, almost double the amount that any otherPrefect group has ever raised, an extremely ambitious target.

For added motivation, the Head Master has also agreed that he will shave off his beard if we as a School cansurpass our goal and reach $12,000. As a School community this should be achievable, considering that in last year’s greatestshave, the Head Master’s old school of Inaburra raised close to $120 thousand dollars for the Leukemia foundation.

How can Trinity students contribute to the fundraising?

During the Head Master’s Assemblies next week, Prefects will be collecting any donations that students are willing to give.Furthermore, starting from Monday next week, Prefects will also be collecting coin donations at the Cafeteria and Canteen duringrecess and lunch.

How can the wider Trinity community contribute to the fundraising?

Due to the wonders of technology, donating online has become easier than ever. Trinity families wanting to support the Leukemiafoundation and the many students and teachers taking part, can do so by clicking the link below and pressing the Sponsor Button

http://my.leukaemiafoundation.org.au/trinitygrammarschoolofficers2018

All donations over $2 are tax deductible and any donation, great or small, will be greatly appreciated.

As every small sacrifice you make will be a big help to many Australian families battling against blood cancer.

International Women’s DayThere’s a riddle about a father and son that some of you may have heard.

It goes like this:

A father was driving his son to a sports game and they had a terrible accident. The father died, immediately but the ambulance gotto the hospital just in time for the boy. When they wheeled the boy into the Emergency Room the surgeon turned around and saidwith great surprise:

“I can’t operate on this boy, he’s my son!”

How is this possible?

The teachers I spoke to about this said they wracked their brains over this question and argued and debated about how this waspossible.

The answer, of course, is that the surgeon is the boy’s MOTHER.

If you had to think about that for more than a second or two, we still have a problem of perception and progress.

Today, we gather to celebrate International Women’s Day - The word celebrate is used because today should be about more thanhighlighting past injustices, but it should primarily be about “Pressing for Progress”, the motto of this year’s campaign. In the pastweek, since there’s been the sign up on Founders and a bit of talk around the school about today – it sounds as if a lot of people areconfused and don’t understand what Trinity, as an all boys school, has to do with something that sounds like its about women. Theheadmaster highlighted the other day, that in fact of all people, us as men should be paying attention to this day, as we have notbeen subject to the injustices, and we are instrumental in progressing towards solutions for gender inequality. I’m not saying thatwe are necessarily the problem, but we are definitely part of the solution.

Upon being given the opportunity to speak here today, I realised that my perspective and knowledge on such an issue is limited –limited due to the fact that I have had the privilege of being a male in a male-dominated world all my life, as have most of usaround this Quadrangle. Having asked the opinion of a number of female teachers, my own sisters, my mother, the common wordthat I kept hearing is one so simple but so often forgotten: that word is respect.

Unfortunately, the nature of an all boys school means that women are often forgotten in our everyday lives, and it is times liketoday that we need to respect the achievements of women, both in the Trinity community and right across the world.

I’d like to mention the example of Bo Remenyi, one of the nominees for the 2018 Australian of the Year Awards. Mrs Remenyi fledher birth home of Hungary at the age of just 13, and came to Australia with zero English as a political refugee. She later becameAustralia’s first female paediatric cardiologist, and has now contributed to the lowering the rate of Rheumatic Heart Disease in theNorthern Territory and has completed a ground-breaking PhD which has been published in medical journals all around the world.

Gents, Mrs Remenyi is merely one example of the women we see in everyday life who contribute to the world in which we live. It’swomen like this who we stand here and celebrate today. Because today is not about a political agenda, not about good publicity,not about just saying the right thing, today is about decent human respect. I challenge you to show this respect in your actionsand your words.
