The Junior School classes undertook long adventurous days and often short, sleepless nights. Highlights are camping out, riding waves at the beach and firefly activities after dark. Despite short nights, it is a real pleasure to see our Junior School boys so excited to be learning new things in the outdoors.

During our Antarctic work, we made a brochure about the connections between Hobart and Antarctica. We visited the places that we had learnt about in our brochure. We also went on the Aurora Australis and were given a guided tour of the ship by a crewmember.

This year 5K went on a lot of excursions.

One of them was going to Kingston S c h oo l J un i o r to plant some trees because we are learning about the environment and how to protect it. Another one was the ride on the Wild Thing. We were planning to go to camp on Bruny Island but Mr Blackhall hurt his back and so camp was postponed but as we still had the booking we went anyway. Another one was, The Marine Discovery Centre; it is a good place to visit and to learn heaps about plankton and marine animals.

The first thing we did was that we looked under a microscope and saw different types of marine plankton. We spent some time room taken up mostly by a big pool full of different fish. There was flathead, zebra fish, a king crab an eel.

Then we did an experiment using dyed hot water and normal cold water. The result was amazing, the waters didn’t mix, so half of a glass was red and the other was clear.

We made our own food web and then we were able to pat a baby shark. We had heaps of fun!

Our Year with Mr Addison

Mr Addison was a fantastic Mentor in many different ways. He was a person, who we as students could put our trust in. We could ask him for help in Maths, Science or problems that were on our mind. He was an up-to-date teacher who knew what students like to do. We could have a joke with him as though he was one of our class mates and he would joke back. He was a sensible teacher who did fun science-based activities with us. Although he was a strict teacher, he was not too strict. If we did the wrong thing, he would talk to us in private and not As always, the variety of activities provided teaching career.

Our Year Together as a Multi-cultural Community

E S c h oo l MIDDL E In keeping with this year’s theme of having the boys report on 2009 in their own words, I thought it appropriate to include a speech given by Yash Makharia at our Multi-cultural Middle School Assembly:

Good afternoon, Mr McQueen and boys. Hutchins is a great school, like our great state and great country all of which are multi-cultural communities. Hutchins hosts many boys from other countries. Some of these boys follow different cultures. These boys face challenges within our culture and community and yet are extremely strong in areas like sport, art or academics. Whatever it may be, we as Hutchins boys consider them as our friends and are loyal to them. Mr McQueen and I heard very positive feedback from some of the boys. We as a Middle School community have been excellent friends to these boys that feel a bit nervous in a different environment because some of them have grown up in a foreign country. All boys in this room have comforted, supported, taken care of and warmly welcomed these boys into our Middle School community. We as the Middle School community have stood up and encouraged these boys in times of difficulty and also applauded them in assemblies when they achieve their best. However, there are bad times where we all cannot always get along. It may be hard to do. But just put yourself into their shoes and see how they feel in a foreign environment when treated badly at times.

Some of these boys are far away from home and their family. It helps them a lot if the Middle School always welcomes them despite the mistakes they’ve made or mistakes we’ve made. As Alexander Pope wrote, “To err is human but to forgive is divine”. Simply by being considerate to not just these boys but everyone, we can make our Middle School community much more enjoyable, especially for the Year 8s whose last term it is in the Middle School. Well done and thank you, on behalf of those boys.

That of gratitude for having the privilege of being was made possible not only by the staff Mr Lance Morrisby helped and guided by these teachers and for mentioned above but also by all the other the fond memories we will always have of staff who taught in the Middle School, our time with them. Not the least of these Mr Docking as our in-coming Counsellor, memories is, of course, their contribution to Reverend Matthew Grey as our Chaplain, our lives through their classroom teaching. our new Academic Secretary, Mrs Ranalli and Mrs Dean in her absence, our bus As Mrs Collis, comes forward to accept these drivers, groundsmen and maintenance tokens of our thanks and best wishes for her crew, our parents and carers and of course, twenty-one years of service, there will be the boys themselves. many boys here whose minds will flash back

As Rohan explains we were very competitive in the Cock House this year, finishing second. The Chess Team’s demolition of the other houses proved that our talents SC H OO L are widespread and we could match it with anyone in any discipline. The spirit of the house was no more evident when 60-odd boys turned up for a meal aimed at gathering our collective support for the Drama students performing that night. It was just marvellous to see students stepping out of their comfort zone and putting their support in for others in the house.

Behind the scenes Mr Sam Nogajski has been a wonderful help as Administrator and all the Mentors have done a fantastic job in support of the boys in the house. I thank them all for the efforts they made this year above and beyond what is expected. Their caring approach to pastoral care has no doubt helped the boys be who they are today.

Finally to each and every boy in School House, thank you for all the efforts you have made this year. You have shown initiative and accountability. Your efforts continued to astound me as the year progressed and I am looking forward to more times like this in 2010. To the leavers – thank you for your support and lead by example attitude. You have all been exceptional School House men and I have enjoyed sharing your final year of school with you in this role. Good luck for the future!

I want to say ‘good luck’ but really, luck has nothing to do with it. Remember, don’t take the free ride in your own life.

With these words in mind, look forward to the future and thank you for all that you have contributed to Stephens. A special thank you to William Colvin and his Executive, they deserve to be proud of their achievements this year; they leave Steves in green have a quiet day on the water Stephens as a house whose spirit is beginning to soar.

For those of you still at Hutchins in 2010 – together, with the attitude mentioned above, we can do much to ensure your time at school, and in Stephens, is something that you can look back on with pride and satisfaction. This report speaks much of spirit and relationships and little of achievement, this has more to do with the culture that I wish to foster in Stephens and the feeling that is beginning to emanate from the house and little to do with the lack of achievement, so look out Thorold, Bucks and School, we are on the rise.

The enthusiasm from the U13s this season was outstanding. Although it was their first year in the sport they proved they were fast learners as was evident when watching their performances in the singles sculls.
