SHO PORTER AuthorEditorial PSYCHOLOGY—AN INSIDE LOOK INTO THE HUMAN MIND LP Dent eveloped through a process of evolution spanning millions of years, the human brain is a scientific wonder; it is what gives us our primary advantage over other animal species as it enables more advanced thought. However, despite the brilliance of the brain, it can still be D misled by a number of psychological tricks and phenomena; below is a list of some interesting ways in which the brain can be fooled.

Halo Effect Is where individuals, brands or other things judged to have a single undesirable trait are subsequently judged to have many poor traits. This means that one single negative trait that an individual possesses may result in their friends seeing other negative aspects of their character and thus change their attitude towards the individual.

Pygmalion Effect This effect is related to the notion that the greater the expectation that is placed on people, the better they will perform. For example, if parents have very high expectations for their child then that child is more likely to succeed as a result of their desire to live up to their parents’ expectations of them.

Friday, 1 June 2018 Page 428

Bystander Effect Refers to cases in which individuals do not offer any means of help to a victim when there are other people present. Essentially, the probability of help is inversely related to the number of bystanders. This phenomenon occurs as a result of individuals normally copying the actions of those around them. Therefore, when in large groups, people are often afraid to make the first move to help a victim as they are not the only ones accountable (due to other people being around) and thus no help is provided to the victim.

Spotlight Effect It is the tendency to overestimate the amount that other people notice your appearance or behaviour. The reasoning behind the spotlight effect comes from the innate tendency to forget that although one is the centre of one’s own world, one is not the centre of everyone else’s.

Backfire Effect

The backfire effect occurs when, in the face of contradictory evidence, established beliefs do not change but get stronger. This is because when people’s beliefs are challenged, instead of listening to what the opposition has to say, individuals often try to unrealistically strengthen their own arguments to be consistent with their past beliefs, and thus become trapped in a loop of misinformation.

The sixth round of the 2018 Cross Country season marked the half-way point of the competitive carnivals. A return to the renowned Centennial Park course produced comfortable running conditions enjoyed by all. The relatively flat course consisted of a variety of surfaces including grass, mulch, rocks and even a heavily sanded area that slowed all runners and affected their running rhythm. Generally, most races were completed more quickly than in previous carnivals due to its lack of inclines and sharp turns. This meant that a faster average pace on the track needed to be achieved than previously. Even, straight parts of the course were identified to be useful places to surge and gain extra positions. Overall, the boys were keen to get running and represent their school with honour.

This carnival also had additional significance as it hosted the GPS selection for the CIS Cross Country Championships later in the term, as well as the selection of the top 8 GPS runners to oppose CAS in later fixtures. With these honours in mind, the Shore squad ran impressively and I am proud to say that we had multiple boys qualify for both feats.

Many highlights came from the U14 race, with the dynamic duo of William Nicholas (41) returning from injury and Jesse Cochrane (46) leading the juniors in splendid fashion. I am extremely proud of the efforts the juniors are putting in both individually and as a team. Their constant support and admiration for one another is a testimony to their successes and a reflection of their enjoyment.

The Intermediate age group finished a commendable 5th place in last week’s carnival, being very close to both 4th and 3rd place. Many runners posted an improvement from last week and ran with determination throughout the whole race. Special mention must go to two particular runners in the U16 age group. Both Matthew Afaras and Cameron Elvy have trained the hardest I have ever seen. Recently they have been the last two to leave training after a proper cool down and Cameron’s deathly ‘100 squats’. These two men also claimed selection into CIS and are a perfect example of where training hard can take you. Well done men.

As the sun began to shine in full force, the Opens age group had to complete a fair 8km course. Everything was on the line for Hamish Longworth. His previous runs would have given him GPS selection, but this was the race that mattered. Finishing in 4th place in the carnival, the senior men ran with pride. Every runner pushed themselves to the limit, and they should all be proud. The Top 7 senior runners all gained selection into CIS, boasting the talent we have in the older age groups. In the run that he was long awaiting, Hamish finished a brilliant 4th place, both on the day and in GPS. This means that Hamish has been selected to run for the GPS team against CAS. This is a terrific achievement for the energetic lad.

Friday, 1 June 2018 Page 436

Claiming this achievement in Year 10 is very rare. He is running with some of the best runners in the state and is making his mark as a prospect for GPS greatness. Congratulations Hamish.

Congratulations to all the boys who have gained selection to represent the GPS in the CIS Cross Country Championships at Eastern Creek on the 14th of June:

U12 U14 U15 U16 U17 U18 Jesse Cochrane William Nicholas Matthew Afaras Hamish Alex Sewell Christopher Savage James Carnegie Ryan Edge Longworth Max Macdonald Sam Broadley Cameron Elvy Toby Mufford Harry Keenan James Croaker

The Shore Rifle Team’s results during last weekend’s 300-metre detail saw extremely impressive scores from all shooters. On the day the top 3 positions were very closely contested. In first place Junu Choi shot a 40 with 4 centres, out of a total of 40 with 8 centres, then followed with a 39 with 5 centres, totalling to 79 with 9 centres. In second place, was Angus Langsford shooting a 40 with 2 centres then following this up with a 39 with 3 centres, creating a total of 79 with 5 centres. Not far behind in third place was Adam Beale with a total score of 78 with 10 centres.

Last weekend also saw an amazing number of possibles being shot (a score of 40 out of 40, or above) by no less than 6 shooters. Special mention goes too; Adam Beale, Junu Choi, Will Douglas, Angus Langsford, Alex Macaulay and Matt Scouller for all shooting this impressive score.

In Small-Bore students continue to improve on technique with several new shooters this year moving up to a jacket and sling to further develop their shooting skills. All students are now self- adjusting their shots for windage and elevation.

All boys should be very impressed with the improvements they have gained over the past four weeks, as they get ready for the GPS Shooting Competition during early Term 3.

Shore v Scots

With an undefeated record until then, Shore’s victory on the weekend has ensured a Plate final against Riverview next Saturday at Northbridge. The team showed ambition in its style of play and again the defence were the rocks of the team who stopped all attacking play by Scots. In a dominant display Mitchell Mattison fired Shore ahead in the twenty-second minute from the penalty spot after Captain Ollie Kennedy had been fouled. Shore remained in control for the most part against their hard-working but outclassed opponents. The second half saw Shore double their lead when Ollie Kennedy walked onto a Sam Williams’ lay-off outside the penalty area and he drilled the ball with conviction past the Scots keeper into the top corner of the net. Shore were matching Scots renowned physicality and their quality was coming to the fore. This weekend should be the most exciting match of the season.

The Second XI had a narrow loss to Scots. After conceding very early in the match the Seconds were unable to find an equaliser. The match was close with few chances for either team. Jack Towers was dependable as always, making a number of important defensive interventions.

Last Saturday Shore had a very successful day in trial matches against Trinity Grammar School, St Ignatius’ College, Cranbrook, St Patrick’s College, St Joseph’s College, and The Scots College. Shore contested 27 matches, winning 21 and losing six. Against Trinity Grammar School, Shore contested 17 fixtures winning 14 and losing three.

The Opens age group again performed very strongly with the Second XV (72 – 0), Third XV (74 – 0), & Fifth XV (87 – 0) all claiming big wins against Trinity. The Sixth XV (63 – 10) against the SIC Eighth XV and Seventh XV (38 – 17) against Cranbrook Fifth XV also won well. The Fourth XV and Eighth XV had byes. The First XV turned up to play and performed exceptionally well against a strong opponent. The team led 19 – 0 at one stage and the crowd sensed a Shore win was on the cards. A try to Trinity just before half time had our boys leading 19 – 7 at half time. Trinity came out in the second half with renewed vigour and scored 22 unanswered point to lead 29 – 19. A late converted try to Shore concluded the scoring as Shore lost a great game 26 – 29. The First XV now have enormous belief and have turned their season around. They would like to thank all their supporters for travelling to Summer Hill and they look forward to this week’s challenge against Waverley.

The Under 16’s had a better day out with two wins and three losses from their set of fixtures. The 16A’s recorded their first win of the season scoring four tries in their 26 – 12 win over Trinity. Their hard work at training was finally rewarded. The 16B’s also had a pleasing 57 – 12 win over the Trinity B’s. The 16C’s were competitive despite losing 7 – 24 to the St Patrick’s B’s. The 16D’s went down 20 – 31 to the Trinity C’s, while the 16E’s also lost (12 – 46) against the St Patrick’s 16C’s.

The Under 15’s performed very strongly recording five wins and just one loss from their six matches against Trinity, St Joseph’s and St Ignatius. The 15A’s (47 – 5), 15B’s (99 – 0), 15C’s (34 – 19), 15D’s (57 – 12), and 15 E’s (62 – 5) all played very entertaining rugby to win their matches convincingly. The 15F’s went down 12 – 42 but played some good rugby in patches and certainly showed clear improvement from their previous outing.

Our Under 14’s played excellent rugby winning all five of their fixtures. The 14A’s continued their winning streak with a powerful 64 – 0 win over Trinity A’s, as did the 14B’s who won 69 – 0 against the Trinity B’s.

Opens with Barker Playing Barker at their home ground was always going to be a challenge for us, and they came out firing some early goals that Shore was never able to regain. Skipper Billy Elsum was vocal in the backline, rallying the troops to organise our defence and running hard down the wings to give direction to our sling-shot counter attack. Matt Scouller had a great day. After shooting his first perfect score at the Hornsby rifle range, he stepped onto the footy field and found the same accuracy with 4 straight goals and some excellent work in general play. Best on ground for Shore was Daniel Adam-Smith who has learned in these few short weeks to put himself in position to gather loose ball, to be a marking option for his teammates when they win the ball, and how running forward without the ball can create space for the rest of Shore's forward line. This team continues to acquit itself well against tough opposition with strong effort and great spirit.

Year 9/10 (Div. 1) with Barker After last week’s win against Riverview, the boys felt confident in their chance of causing an upset win against the best team in our competition, Barker. However, this feeling was not sufficiently acted upon at the beginning of the game, as we lacked desire on the ball, giving Barker uncontested possessions and allowing them easy passage down the field. In defence, we fell off tackles and looked unsure when making body contact, which gave the opposition easy marks and set shots on goal. By the time they had scored the opening 4 goals of the day, it was starting to look like we weren't going to be as competitive as we thought. Luckily the team rallied, moving the ball well down the right flank, kicking a goal from a set shot after five consecutive marks to finish the first quarter.

In the second quarter it looked like a different team was playing - our determination on the loose ball allowed us to dominate contested possessions, despite not winning many of the ruck contests. We moved the ball into open space inside the forward fifty, and then made good choices in our kicking to score goals. We brought the margin right back, and actually briefly got ahead during this time. Unfortunately a late fade allowed Barker to score two goals to in the dying minutes to give them the lead going into half time.

The third quarter was clinical, kicking well to target, never giving the opposition a chance to get into their scoring range. We moved the ball well down the flanks, making good leads and taking marks. The accuracy in kicking to target was particularly pleasing, especially when coupled with good decision making, which resulted in long periods of time when no opposition player got clean possession of the ball. The best part of this quarter was the desperation - in the few instances when Barker got the ball, we would dive and smother kicks or put our body on the line to help a teammate. Unfortunately it looked like we ran out of energy in the fourth quarter, not picking up the ball cleanly and not hitting our targets when we got the ball. In defence we chased hard, but didn't communicate well, so Barked had too many loose men. Despite putting an extra man in defence to clog up the defensive fifty, we allowed the opposition to crumb too many goals. This let Barker grow in confidence again, putting the game out of our reach with a few minutes to go. The final score was 60 - 72.

Despite this, our players should be happy with their efforts, everyone kept their head up and played hard when things got tough. This was our highest scoring game by a considerable margin, our kicking to target and marking showed huge improvement, as did the accuracy of the goal kicking.

Year 9/10 (Div. 2) with Cranbrook This was a tough game for Shore as the team we were playing against had a few very good players who were dominant through the midfield. Our defence was constantly busy and stood up strongly and resiliently through the barrage and all the team gave their best and continued trying despite the one-sided scoreboard. Shore 1.1 7 lost to Cranbrook 10.7 67

Year 7/8 with Barker Shore 1 – 2 – 8 (Goal: R Adams) lost to Barker 1 15 – 17 – 107

Individual Par

Another calm, sunny late autumn day made it feel especially blessed to be alive and a bonus to be spending it on a golf course. The conditions were conducive to excellent scoring but the pins were in some devilish locations, a stern examination of the short game that kept the golfers honest. And once again it was James Horne, in a purple patch of form right now, who led the way for the Shore boys scoring +4, a score good enough to take out the day and swell his coffers at the pro shop. Sam Wilkinson also broke handicap and won a ball with +1, adding some icing to the cake by winning 2 balls for Nearest the Pin on the 15th. Kevin Qu rounded out another satisfying day for the Shore golfers, winning a ball in the B grade run down with –1.

Last Sunday, Shore was again involved in the Balmoral Burn, an extremely challenging 420m

dash up Awaba St, which raises funds for the Humpty Dumpty Foundation. Well over 100

Shore boys were involved in teams of four,

Gillespie had 12 teams, Whight had 7, Burns had Team Overall finishing 5 and Tiley had 2. There was also an elite team of position Cross Country Runners (Sam Broadley, Max MacDonald, Chris Savage and Matt Moran) who Cross Country_1 5 Burns_2 10 were attempting to defend Shore’s title, won in Burns_1 11 2017 in close to record time. This year Sydney Gillespie_ S2 12 Grammar were victorious, but in a relatively slow Tiley_1 15 time of 6 minutes 55 seconds Gillespie_I1 16

Whight_6 17

Whight_7 18 The top ten Shore teams to finish were Burns_5 20 Gillespie_S1 21

The total funds raised by the Shore boys was $5400 and it is hoped that the boys will have some say in the medical equipment which Humpty purchases, as we did last year.

Congratulations to all the boys who participated, many rather sore after a tough round of sporting fixtures, and also thanks to all the parents for their support during the event.
