Ladies and gentlemen, It is with a mixture of sadness and admiration that I rise to say just a couple of words on the occasion of Mr Ronald Henry Ogier’s birthday and retirement from Trinity Grammar School after over 50 years. Of course, there will be the opportunity to celebrate the milestones and to farewell him in less formal fashion this afternoon on the Head Master’s lawn, but it is fitting that a few words are said here in the Common Room, in front of his peers, as is our custom. Firstly, it is important to acknowledge in this forum that he is only the second member of the Common Room, after Mr Clarrie Latham, to reach this milestone of service to Trinity Grammar School, in and of itself, a signal achievement and testament to his commitment and loyalty. As the Head Master catalogued this morning, Mr Ogier has been, amongst other things, a teacher of English, a Housemaster of Kerrigan House, an unforgiving editor, a friend, advisor, confidante and role model of the best attributes of an independent school master, and a faithful servant of this School. For those of us who are new to Trinity, I am sorry that you have missed the opportunity to imbibe the lessons that may be learned from such and erudite and experienced colleague. He may always be relied on for honest feedback and, on more than one occasion, I have heard him call a spade a shovel as I have felt the sharp edge of his tongue and rapier wit over a misplaced apostrophe or poor turn of phrase, unfailingly prepared to express his view without fear or favour, but always with the purest of motives. I have personally appreciated his pedantry and insistence that there is a right way for things to be done and he has fought steadfastly in the vanguard to maintain the standards and best traditions of the School. Indeed, I am a better teacher for having shared the Common Room with him. Just yesterday I illustrated to my new Year 11 English class the importance of punctuation in the well-known Ogieresque example of well done boys, sans comma, actually meaning over cooked young males. That does not mean he is creature of the past, looking ever backwards with rose tinted glasses to the good old days. He is not a prehistoric relic. Far from it. Mr Ogier has evolved. He is still as sharp as a tack and is a fine reminder to us that age is just a number. If I may step outside my role for a moment and express a personal opinion, I think Trinity will be the poorer for his departure from among us and, to repeat the words I appropriated on the occasion of the recent retirement of Mr Cujes, you, sir, have been an ornament to Trinity Grammar School, and there is no more fitting tribute than to quote the words of Jesus from the Parable of the Talents, … “Well done, thou good and faithful servant”.

MR TERRY HAYWOOD

Terry Haywood commenced at Trinity in March 2000. He came to us from South Australia as a specialist Classical Languages teacher. He was immediately immersed in any and all classes from Year 7 Latin to Higher School Certificate Classical Greek and International Baccalaureate Latin. He initially served as a Tutor in Hilliard House, before spending three years in School House as a Boarding Master. In 2005 was appointed Middle School Housemaster of Archer, one of the original appointees to this new role. He became Housemaster of Young in 2012 and remained so until his retirement at the end of third term 2018. Terry’s pastoral nature and humanity was evident in all these roles. He served the Football fraternity during his 18 years, his favourite was as coach of the Thirds. He shared with numbers of young Trinitarians his knowledge of, and passion for, the world game. In the classroom Terry brought his wealth of understanding of the Greco-Roman world to all his lessons, whether introducing Year 7 students to Latin for the first time, or holding Socratic lectures with senior students. Over the years so many of our young men have benefited from his insights and humility, his warmth and humour. Terry has left a lasting legacy in that a number of his students have gone on to study Classics at university level, some completing PhDs, others becoming Classical Language teachers themselves. In addition to his career at Trinity, Terry was a member of the Classical Languages Teachers Association, was actively engaged in a professional capacity with NESA as senior marker of HSC Classical Greek, and also consulted for the International Baccalaureate. Terry has returned to South Australia to be with his family, including nine grandchildren, and he now spends his days fishing, gardening and, of course, reading.

17 HEAD MASTER’S REPORT 2018SENIOR SCHOOL | SPEECH DAY

Trinity has been shaping young men through our vision and practice of Christian education for more than one hundred years. Our affirmation of a thoroughly Christian education that permeates all aspects of living and learning is not a strident and aggressive demand, nor is it a slightly- embarrassed apology for a dated relic of an earlier age. Rather, we believe that the words of Jesus provide us with a foundation on which we can build with confidence – and we invite each member of our School community to do just that, in mind, body, and spirit. Education at Trinity is not, and never has been, limited to the cognitive learning of the individual. It extends to the formation of character, the exploration of convictions as to those things that matter, the development of physical and cultural accomplishment, as well as academic achievement. All these may be characterised as learning, but it is learning in community, through engagement, and breadth and depth of diverse experiences and challenges that makes the difference. To conceive of school as though it is only to do with the transmission of content in a classroom is to fall far short of the reality of a Trinity education. I hope that students, families and staff see stability of purpose day by day in our School. The second reason identified in the article as a key factor in the success of enduring organisations is stability of stewardship. In the enduring institutions, leadership at the top, as well as in many other positions wherein institutional knowledge and understanding resides, is long-term. It is fitting for me to pay tribute to the labours and leadership ofmy predecessor, Mr Milton Cujes. Mr Cujes demonstrated wisdom, stamina and faithfulness, in leading this community since before our graduating The Chairman of Council Year 12 students were born. That stability of stewardship is exactly the sort of factor identified in the HBR article, and the ongoing success of the As I reflect on the year behind us, it has been a great relief to me to be School today continues to be part of Mr Cujes’ legacy. reminded that schools such as ours are more akin to an ocean-liner than The Council of Trinity Grammar School has been the ultimate and equally to a jet-ski.

In the Australian context, there are fewer than members know this truth, and they serve us faithfully with their time, thirty companies or brands that have lasted one hundred years. expertise and prayers. The authors of the article found two primary reasons for institutions Dimensions of professionalism to endure and succeed over time. The first one is stability of purpose. While acknowledging the contribution of so many to the life and work Longstanding institutions have clarity about why they exist and what of the School, it must be noted that the School will rise or fall according they stand for. These things may or may not be enshrined in mission to both the academic and support staff. I read recently, in another statements and strategic plans and the various other elements of the context, that professionalism in a vocation has three dimensions. First is management repertoire, but there is no doubt why the institution exists. an expectation of selflessness, in that we place the needs and concerns As a relative newcomer to the School, I think that this is true of us. In of those who depend on us above our own. Second is an expectation reading the histories of the School, listening to the stories of the School, of expertise, in that we will aim for excellence in knowledge and skill. and participating in the life of the School, there is great clarity of purpose.

Nature of success Detur gloria soli deo A key aspect of the planning process will include consideration of the nature of success. How will we know if we are achieving our goals? How can we tell if our stewardship of this school is achieving its core purpose? These are not easy questions. Do we gauge success by the grades and marks gained? Do we reference it to Premierships, Championships, Eisteddfods or competitions won? Do we frame it by the doors that are opened for the next steps, such as ATARs and university entrances? Things such as these are easily measured – but are they adequate? Do we reference success by the positive experience of the student in daily life – are they engaged in learning, do they feel safe and secure, are they known and cared for, are they making growth and progress as a learner, contributor, and as a person? Do we reference it to the speed and effectiveness of response to parent concerns? This is getting harder to measure – but perhaps also closer to the heart of what happens – or should happen – at school. Do we reference success to the young man, who steps out to face the world with confidence, resilience and resourcefulness, who has the wisdom to know when to speak and the courage to stand for what is right? Is the success of the School seen in the man who uses his power in the service of others, who shows grace to the failure of others and honesty to the failures that are his own?

It resulted in a series students a genuine and authentic choice of credential. of recommendations, including the 2018 deliverables of Assessment Principles to guide consistent practice across the Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 landscape, and a charter to redesign reporting in Years 7 to 10. The Assessment Principles (shown above) will guide the way we design teaching, learning, and assessment for our students.

Work has begun in formulating a new reporting structure for boys in Years 7 to 10 that includes feedback on the student engagement factors we are seeking to foster in students, as well as learning development in the range of academic courses undertaken. Parent contribution through the prototyping phase has been of significant value in shaping the way we select and report meaningful information. It is expected new reporting aspects will be staged in their implementation over the coming academic year.

Further significance was seen in the awarding of the Australian Vocational Prize in National Recognition of Outstanding Vocational Achievement and Excellence in Secondary Education to Bayley Farrow (13Ke/2014). Bayley was nominated for the 2014 Australian Vocational Prize for his work in the area of Construction Pathways in the Vocational Education, School Based Traineeship programme at Trinity Grammar School. These awards promote the benefits of vocational education and reflect the commitment of the School in ensuring students not only have skills for enhanced employment opportunities, but also the skills our employers need and that are central to Australia’s economic growth.

On the evening of Thursday 13 September, Trinity Grammar School celebrated the opportunities and successes of its School Based Traineeship (SBT) programme by featuring seven minute spotlight presentations from our Vocational Education and Training (VET) students. The aim is for students to bring their traineeships to life by sharing experiences and learnings with their peers, employers, parents and teachers, and to raise awareness about vocational education as an alternate pathway at Trinity.

The format of the evening was designed to: Daniel Minchenko (12WJ) at the 2017 Electrotechnology ÆÆ give our students a chance to reflect on their traineeship experience and Hospitality Work Placement Student of the Year awards

ÆÆ showcase the employability skills students attain in the workplace

ÆÆ give our students the opportunity to liaise and reflect with other students, employers, parents and teachers

ÆÆ congratulate and recognise the young men on their vocational pathway.

A common theme that emerged during the evening was the importance of the employer’s role in providing unique opportunities for learning new skills applicable in the real world. The SBT programme helps boys to understand what the industry has to offer, both in terms of its rewards and its challenges.

Trinity would like to thank Tyrone Martin from Ganellen Constructions, Joe Rede from Bondibuilda Constructions, Robert Tripolone from Advanced Detail Joinery, Nathan Atkinson from Grindley Constructions, Jason Wagg from Axis Service Group, Todd and Finlay Grounds from Grounds Construction, Harry Ivison from Ivison Constructions, Alex Silva from Big Picture Australia, and Thanh Tran from 32 Hudred Lighting for partnering with our students to provide employment as part of their SBT programme.

Congratulations to all our boys for sharing your stories. It is encouraging Thomas Newall (12Yo) at the 2017 Electrotechnology and to see that the SBT programme has provided our exiting Year 12 boys Hospitality Work Placement Student of the Year awards with further pathways to secure apprenticeships and employment opportunities after school. We wish our boys all the very best in their future endeavours.

On the evening of Tuesday 25 September, the School’s RTO presented the National Qualifications Certificates for the Certificate II in Leadership Through Cadets Course to our nineteen graduating students at a ceremony during a dinner with their parents. Our special guests on the evening were LTCOL Danny O’Keefe from the Australian Army Cadets (AAC), and the Assistant Minister for Vocational Education, Karen Andrews MP, who appeared by a video link to deliver a personal message of support. Congratulations to our boys in achieving this academic qualification by extending their leadership qualities through the Australian Army Cadets.

The skills associated with leadership are highly valued in the workplace and in society generally. Certificate II in Leadership Through Cadets is designed to enable participants to acquire a range of technical, practical, personal and organisational skills associated with leadership. Potentially the course will afford them a real advantage in the competitive quest for scholarships and jobs, but more importantly will equip them with vital life skills. 2018 Certificate II in Leadership Through Cadets Dr Frederick Osman | Director of Vocational Education and RTO Manager (Careers Education)

41 SCHOOL CAPTAIN’S REPORT SAACHIN SIMPSON

It is with the utmost privilege that I write this at the conclusion of my At Trinity, we’re also lucky to have staff who are fully dedicated to our role as School Captain. 2018 has seen the School not only build on the education. I probably appreciate it much more so now than I did in my success of the past, but also continually adapt to be a modern educational younger years, because I’ve realised more and more what it means to be institution. In my role, I’ve had the unique opportunity to work closely an educator. Continually, we work with staff who go above and beyond with students and staff alike to move the School in a positive direction. what they’re required to do for our benefit. Firstly, our academic teachers, who are lucky enough to spend four or five periods with us every week. However, I am just one member of this community, and I am lucky to The dedication to our learning truly is unmatched, and unfortunately it have the opportunity today to acknowledge those who’ve made this does often go unacknowledged. To be able to motivate us to achieve year great. Firstly, to my fellow members of the class of 2018. To me, our very best is no easy task, and without fail, our academic teachers it’s amazing to have experienced school with such a diverse bunch of have pushed us and pushed us, whether we liked it or not. Whether they young men. We have learnt much together over the years, but more were trying to motivate us with creative lesson plans, marking our work importantly, we have learnt from each other. It’s this unity that will help after hours, or sometimes just trying to keep us awake in class, I sincerely us into our upcoming exams, and of course, in post-School life. My thank all the staff for their hard work. I’d like to especially mention the thanks specifically extends to the leadership team of Nicholas Pavic (12La), Headmaster, Mr Bowden, with whom I’ve been able to form a close Alexander Kolesnikoff (12Ho), and Nicholas Webb (12WH). My job has relationship with over the year. I believe Mr Bowden has taken on his not been done alone, and I have really struck gold to work with these role with considered thought but also a driven energy that is in line with three, who are not just the Vice-captains, but also my good mates. They the ideals of Trinity. His impact was seen immediately in the restructuring were never afraid to embrace change or to take initiative, and they were of the leadership system, the movement of houses around quad, and never afraid to tell me what they thought, which is why I think our team the support of movements such as International Women’s Day, R U OK has worked so well. I also extend my congratulations and best wishes to Day, and the World’s Greatest Shave to name some examples. I’d like the incoming leadership team of School Captain, Nick Bouletos (11Mu), to personally congratulate Mr Bowden on a fruitful first year and look and Vice-captains, Christyon Hayek (11Ke), Ben Bishop (11Hi), and Daniel forward to hearing about the School’s future progress as an Old Boy. Chu (11Ke). TRINITY GRAMMAR SCHOOL | THE TRIANGLE 2018 THE | GRAMMAR SCHOOL TRINITY 42 Our gratitude also extends to the non-academic SENIOR AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS SCHOOL CAPTAIN’S REPORT staff in the School. Trinity’s broad focus in terms of mind, body, and spirit is achieved through the co-curricular and sporting activities that immerse us into the School. Trinity is more than a school – its also a sports club, debating society, cultural centre, and a million other things as well. Without Mr Campbell and Mr Pay, maybe we wouldn’t have seen Tane Edmed’s (12Fo) spectacular last minute conversion to beat Joeys, without Mr Murphy and the Athletics coaches maybe we wouldn’t see Alex Kolesnikoff representing the country in Finland, without the expertise of Mr Pratt we wouldn’t have seen Leon Liang’s (12La) incredible composition at the Gala Concert. It is because of these people that a Trinity education is more than just textbooks and paper, but rather a formative experience, developing us into young men.

All of this, of course, wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our parents. We can often take for granted the stresses that a Trinity son can bring - whether its financial, or about getting to the other side of Sydney early on a Saturday morning, or coaxing us into doing our homework. The reality is, it’s not such an easy job - and none of the gentlemen before me today would be here without our parents.

I’d like to share a short story to help understand what it means to be at Trinity. At the end of year 10 History, we were given the option of interviewing a family member about their past and composing a historical research project, for which the Reg Marsh History Prize is actually being awarded today. I took the option of interviewing my grandfather, who fled the violence of the decolonisation and partition of India in 1947. As I learnt more and more about his experiences of having his train attacked by gangs, sleeping on riverbanks and then achieving success in a country where he didn’t know the language, I became aware of the opportunities that I have in my life at a school like Trinity. I came to realise that I wasn’t here by some kind of chance, but that there was a purpose to my education.

To the gentlemen with years at Trinity to come, I would urge you to find your purpose and embrace it through your academic, sporting and co-curricular endeavours at Trinity. Whether it is found in a Biology classroom, in the Archaeological Society, or at Table Tennis in the Old Gym, it doesn’t matter. It is the fact that we are part of an institution that allows us to pursue our purpose, especially when so many in this world unfortunately don’t have this opportunity.

In Jeremiah 29:11, the Lord declares, “For I know the plans I have for you,” “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” I encourage all boys of the School to discover these plans and carry them out best you can.

Detur Gloria Soli Deo.

Guests enjoyed listening to our guest speaker, an Old Boy of the School, Mr Richard Bishop, who is the Director of Community Relations and in command of the Army Cadet Unit. We were delighted to host our new Head Master, Mr Tim Bowden, at our May meeting, where he told us how he has been settling in at the School. That afternoon, we were also invited to share a delicious afternoon tea hosted by the School Auxiliary in aid of The Cancer Council. Earlier this year, a group of us enjoyed a trip in the School mini bus to Casula Power House Museum for a concert put on by talented artists who performed music by The Carpenters, followed by a scrumptious lunch. Our August meeting was held at The Canada Bay Club. We enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea kindly provided by the Chief Executive Officer, Mr Doug Kirkham, father of William Kirkham (10Ke).

Yolla and Richard Yarad were invited to Mr and Mrs Cujes farewell and to the 2017 Speech Day where they witnessed the Trinity Connection HSC Hospitality Annual Prize being awarded to Joshua Thanopoulos. In January 2018, we attended the commissioning service for our new Head Master, Mr Bowden. It was a memorable occasion with many members of the Trinity family in attendance. Other annual events that we attend are: the Gala Music Concert, the Cadet Ceremonial Parade, the Senior School Speech Day, The Auxiliaries Mothers’ Day Dinner, and the Year 12 Mothers’ Farewell Dinner.

The boys enjoyed hearing the ‘real’ stories behind the objects, too. Year 2 classes at both the Prep and Junior Schools also made use of the Archives in their learning topic ‘Where We Are In Place and Time’ where they examined the history of the School. Items from the Archives were also displayed in the Arthur Holt Library to mark Anzac Day this year, including a fascinating scrap book of newspaper cuttings relating to World War I. A new display was installed near Compass Court early in the year. It illustrates the story of the Summer Hill campus, showing change of site usage from Aboriginal occupation to farmland in the early 1800s, then to various places of learning before becoming a campus of Trinity in 1926.

New staff had the opportunity to engage with the story of the School during their induction programme, and in a new venture, staff were invited to celebrate International Archives Day (9 June) by visiting the Archives for a ‘behind the scenes’ look.

Due to continued growth of the collection and limited storage space at Summer Hill, three hundred boxes of records have, for the first time, been moved to off-site climate controlled commercial storage. In- house queries have made up the bulk of the research requests, with approximately 220 being answered in the last twelve months.

The changing environment in record-keeping in organisations relating to children has been recognised in the Archival profession with the recent release of the Records Retention and Disposal Schedule for Non-Government Schools by Judith Ellis. It was commissioned by the Australian Society of Archivists and developed with input from various stakeholders and is already proving to be a most valuable resource. Opportunities to participate in the Society’s School Archive professional development days have been most valuable, and I could not conclude this report without acknowledging two contributors to the smooth running Archives - casual assistant, Ms Meagan Lacoba, who has been patiently listing and re-boxing thousands of files, and Mr Kell Daniels who has given managerial support of Archival activities.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge the contribution of Mr Ron Ogier who is retiring this year after more than fifty years of service to Trinity. Mr Ogier, has been, amongst other activities, the main photographer of our School events for the past twenty plus years – a significant addendum to his twenty-nine year teaching career at Trinity which was inaugurated in 1966. As such, he is one of the largest single contributors of content to the collection as there are literally thousands of his photographs in the TGS Archives. Thank you Mr Ogier.

57 ARCHER HOUSE

From the wise words of Mr. Folli, it takes a house of great strength to hold up the house system, and in recent years Archer House has held this position. 2018 has been an incredibly successful year for the Archer boys. We have improved significantly in the House Competition, but more importantly, we’ve grown closer together as a family. Coming to the end of the year, I would like to reflect on these exceptional performances along with some of the changes that the House has encountered over the year.

2018 was a year of improvement for the Archer boys. The boys gave it their all this year in the House Athletics Housemaster Carnival with a significant improvement from fifteenth place last year to an incredible eighth thisyear. Mr Andrea Folli Congratulations must go to all the boys for their participation and ability to quickly adapt to fill missing spots. This is a strong reflection on the boys’ character as the boys never gave up, and the results speak for Middle School Housemaster themselves. Ms Ami Liu The inter-house competitions, including Indoor Football, Chess, Cricket and the Fitness Challenge, have also been a success for the boys. But special commendation must be given to the Year 7 Touch Football team under House Tutors the coaching of the Peer Support Leaders, and support from the Year 7 tutors who secured an equal first place. Ms Vicki Courtenay Ms Domonique Mileto 2018 saw a new approach to House meetings. The boys were given the opportunity to lead House meetings in their inter-house groups. This enabled the boys to better communicate and work together, particularly Mr David Parle between year groups. It also provided the boys with the chance to share some experiences and values that Ms Alexandra Wood they believe are fundamental to the House. We have continued to acknowledge and celebrate the efforts of Ms Sally Ortega boys with the Fletcher of the Week Award, a true testament to the spirit of Archer. I want to thank all the Mr Matthew Driscoll boys for their consistent participation in House meetings as well as their willingness to nominate their fellow Mr David Van Tol peers. This is a strong testament to the altruism of the Archer boys who are consistently looking to celebrate Mrs Jessica Spratt the achievements of their peers.

The new Year 7 boys must also be commended for their resilience and perseverance, adapting to the new House Captain responsibilities and challenges that Middle School brings. I would like to congratulate these boys on their Ishaan Dhawan seamless transition into Middle School and for embracing the values and beliefs that Archer is built on. The Peer Support Leaders, Blaise McKee (11) and Phillipe Kubinsky (11) must also be thanked for their outstanding House Vice-Captains work with the Year 7 boys, alongside our Middle School Monitor, Christian Becvarovski (9). Roberto Olles Congratulations are in order to the incoming leadership group for 2018. Archer House will continue to grow Max McCluskey-Voigt and prosper under the guidance of House Captain Blaise McKee and Vice-Captains Timothy Bradfield (11), Ben Hutchinson (11) and Michael Slevin (11). There is no doubt that these boys will lead Archer House well in the House Colour year to come. Red On behalf of all the Archer boys, I would like to sincerely thank the tutors, Mrs Courtenay, Ms Mileto, Mr Parle, Mr Bamford, Mrs Spratt and Mr Van Tol. Their collective leadership, wisdom and support has been unparalleled. I would also like to wish Mr Bamford the best of luck as he undertakes the new role as Master of Young House. In addition, Ms Liu began her role as Archer’s Middle School Master this year. I would like to thank her for her ongoing support and enthusiasm with the younger boys of the House. I would also like to sincerely thank Housemaster, Mr Folli. He has been a consistent sign of positivity that the boys can lean on. I can confidently say that Archer House would not be as successful as it is without his continued guidance… but his aspiring comedy career will need more work!

I would like to thank the Vice-Captains Roberto Olles (12) and Max McCluskey-Voigt (12) for their assistance and ongoing support over the year. It has been an absolute pleasure to develop strong relationships with all the Year 12 boys over the last six years. You have all been strong role models for the young men of the House, and I am hugely grateful for your commitment.

Finally, I want to encourage the young men of Archer House to continue to carry on the legacy that Archer boys past and present have built. Your commitment and enthusiasm has made 2018 a successful year for the House. Enjoy your years at Trinity as these are the memories and friendships that last a lifetime. I wish you the very best for your time at Trinity and beyond, and have no doubt that you will grow in mind, body and spirit.

It has been an absolute pleasure to lead Archer House over the last year. Archer has been a home away from home, and I will forever remember the spirit that resides in the House.

“Shoot for the stars, so if you fall you land on a cloud.”

59 DULWICH HOUSE

Dulwich’s success has continued well into 2018 with countless outstanding efforts from the boys in sky blue. As a house built on camaraderie and brotherhood, it remains evident that these successes are a result of contributions from each individual of the house. The efforts each Dulwich member has displayed this year has been unparalleled in my time at the House, with pleasing results in various house activities a testament to this dedication.

Housemaster Partaking in the peer support programme last year enabled me to connect with the newest members of the Dulwich family. It quickly became apparent the incoming Year 7s were eager to participate in House activities. Mr Chris Aschman It was often difficult to organise events as too many boys wished to participate. Their excitement to be part of the House and its various activities was infectious, sparking much needed enthusiasm to the entire House. Middle School Housemaster Mr Arch Humphries Such enthusiasm is forever prevalent in our Housemaster, Mr Aschman, whose gusto towards the House is unmatched. This is particularly evident in his encouraging words from the sideline. Whether this be at house Touch Footy or the Athletics carnival, it was never a struggle to hear his voice above the rest of the crowd, House Tutors providing a much needed boost to get us over the finish line. Mr Bradley Woods Mr Chris Knight 2018 also welcomed a new Middle School Housemaster into Dulwich. Mr Humphries quickly settled into Mr Bill Pratt the House, providing much needed guidance to the younger years in particular. I would like to thank Mr Humphries for challenging the leadership team and setting new goals for us to achieve in our leadership, and Ms Emma Loftus his influence on myself personally. Mr David Magro Mr Mark Worsfold It became evident that for Dulwich to become a true contender in the house competition, change was necessary. Greater involvement and enthusiasm towards house activities starting from the leadership team House Captain helped spark eagerness throughout the entire House. A seemingly minor addition by this year’s leadership team was the weekly mentions of Dulwich members that were featured in the bulletin. This enabled the House to Angus Mangunay not only recognise these exceptional students, but also gain a better understanding of the strengths of each Dulwich member. This helped facilitate easy planning for future house activities. House Vice-Captains Felix Dobbin With the House’s enthusiasm at an all-time high, it quickly became apparent that success for the House was in close reach. This was proven to us at the annual house Athletics carnival. Occasionally, the intermittent score Vignesh Jayaram announcements throughout the day of the carnival seemed to provide false hope for the boys in sky blue. It Christian Nicolaou was often said in the past not to ‘expect too much’ if the House was announced in a strong position early on, as it seemed like our lead always faltered as the day progressed. This was not the case this year, as with each House Colour announcement, our position on the ladder remained steadily at the top end. Strong performances across Sky Blue all year groups for the house relays clinched essential points to enable us to finish second overall, a result unmatched in the history of the House. The following morning at quad, we linked arms in pride and collectively roared our trademarked Dulwich cry, congratulating Founders for their victory.

Over the course of this year, our standing in other house activities improved as well. Whether it be in the house Cricket, Football, Touch Rugby, Chess, house relays or fitness challenge, Dulwich boys continued to perform well. It was particularly pleasing to see how various students filled in for others when necessary. As full participation is crucial during these house activities, eager Dulwich boys stepping up to help out when needed proved to be of great value to the House. I hope to see these positive attitudes continue well into the future.

Our successes this year would not have been achievable without the commitment of the Tutors of the House. Thank you to Mr Woods, Mr Knight, Mr Pratt, Ms Loftus, Mr Magro, and Mr Worsfold for their dedication towards the House. Their close relationship with their Dulwich students has helped foster a warm, inviting Dulwich family.

I would also like to thank the current Year 12 of Dulwich; Eddie Azzie, Nathan Bull, David Chan, Faybian Chow, Felix Dobbin, George Eggleton, Monty Hannaford, Vignesh Jayaram, Richard Lew, Dylan Lin, Thomas Linfield- Kent, Christian Nicolaou, Martin Song, Matthew Tuffy, and Oshin Vats. Whether on Year 7 camp or Year 11 conference, at tutor group, or at quad, there was never a dull moment being around these guys. I wish them all the very best for their future endeavours.

I extend my gratitude to the 2018 House leadership team consisting of Year 9 monitor, Matthew Robertson, and Vice-Captains, Felix Dobbin (12), Mony Hannaford (12), Vignesh Jayaram (12) and Christian Nicolaou (12). Their contributions to the House has undoubtedly contributed to our successes this year.

Under the guidance of incoming House Captain, Harrison Llayton (11) and Vice-Captains Kevin Cloke (11), Fergus McCrory (11) and Ben Tanous (11), I am left with no doubt that current and future boys in sky blue will continue to be proud to link arms and exclaim the resounding roar of “Dulwich!”.

61 FOUNDER’S HOUSE

Mirroring our weekly House meetings, 2018 was a year filled with unexpected surprises, growing camaraderie, and a tinge of chaos. The year commenced with a valiant effort in the House Swimming Carnival. A disqualification in the Year 7 relay was definitely a sign of the day ahead as Founder's was not able to get participation points due to the watchful eye of Mr Yarad. Characteristically, Founder’s proudly finished at the lower quarter of the leader board, with a respectable thirteenth place. I congratulate the whole House on their efforts in participating in most of the events. However, we may need a House meeting in the future to ensure everyone knows that backflipping into the pool, pulling on lane ropes, freestyle arming with the board, and swimming normally while holding onto the inner tube will result in disqualification! Special thanks go to Clark Foley (7), Lewis Potter (8), Pierce Foley (10), Callum Clayton (11), Josh Chen (11), and Lelland Hui (12) for allowing me to force you into covering for others when we needed it most. Both our performance and attitude towards House Challenges was one of the big turning points of the year. The competition started with a slightly disappointing result in the Indoor Football; with the first grade team, led by Dimitri Gremos (10) and Jono Gremos (8) being undone by unlucky shots and an even unluckier own goal. However, we quickly bounced back with an extremely dominant round of Cricket and Chess, led by Vice- Housemaster captain, Tane Edmed (12). Special mention also goes to Chinmay Gaikaiwari (7), who gave one of the most Ms Marian Dunbar exciting performances in school boy sport to win us the game against Henderson. The excitement continued into the Touch Footy season under the guidance of Tom Lambert (12), with an admirable 1:2 loss, win ratio. Huge credit also goes to Owen Peck (9) in the Beep Test Challenge. He achieved the highest individual score out Middle School Housemaster of competitors from the three other houses. Our dominance was reasserted in a nail-biting Fitness Challenge. Mr Neil Smallfield Olly White (9) gave Founders a phenomenal head start, but it was ultimately Sam Fricker’s (10) jumping abilities that scored us the win from Dulwich. House Tutors The penultimate event of recent Founder's history presented itself in the House Track and Field Carnival. Mr Trevor Ackman Standing on the back of last year's formidable third place, the House was enthused, yet not expectant of a better position. Starting off with an eager, but unsuccessful 1500m effort, the day initially seemed like any 'bottom Mr Hatton-Ward four out of sixteen’ day. However, the swift efforts of Josh Chen, Will Xie (12) and Jorge Paraskevopoulos (11) Mrs Maryellen Ottaway in coordinating the Middle School sparked a flame of success that set us alight. When the first point score Ms Kathryn Smith-Sergi update with Founder’s in first place echoed strangely across the track, no one, especially Founder's, could Ms Christina Vanden Hengel believe their ears. Although taking the update as an encouragement, we all knew that the rest of the day Mrs Janet Wonders was going to be an uphill battle. Furiously sprinting, jumping, throwing and pencilling in adjustments to the programme, the ensuing hours were a tiring but fulfilling whirlwind. I commend the collective efforts of the House Captain Year 9 cohort, who took the initiative to organise themselves without any follow up; as well as athlete of the day, Christian Pulley (7). Hence, all these efforts culminated in one of the most exciting quad assemblies I have Nicholas Hui ever attended as the air filled with shouted congratulations at the victory of Founder’s in the 2018 House Track and Field Championship. And so, I especially thank all the boys of Founder’s for collectively breaking the thirty- House Vice-Captains eight year drought and the stereotype of Founder's inability to do anything. Tane Edmed At last year's Fiesta, we challenged ourselves and ran a new 'Shootout' competition. I commend all the boys for Lelland Hui bearing with us as we endeavoured to experiment with a new idea. I would also like to extend this gratitude to Ms Vanden-Hengel who sacrificed a considerable number of her lunchtimes to create the shootout 'targets.' Tallying up the total funds, the house earned well over $800 of profit thanks to the support of both the boys House Colour and teachers of the House. Orange This sentiment of 'making it new' was especially evident within House meetings across the year, where we, as Year 12s, set off to garner more student involvement and interest in House meetings while preserving the necessary formalities. We especially thank all the boys for their patience as we navigated the various ways of running the meetings. By the end of our time in Founder’s I hope we have left the future leadership teams with an involving and engaging structure that they can work off. This involvement, I believe, was best exemplified in the term-long process of deciding on a House charity, where boys could nominate their own charity, and deliver a speech to the House. In such a way, I especially thank Ryan Tischenko (10), Tom Jenkins (8) and Oliver Walker (8) for taking the initiative to deliver a speech to the House regarding their chosen charity. As we tallied up the votes, the House officially nominated the 'Smith Family Foundation' as our House charity. The recently introduced 'name challenge' provided an incentive to get to know everyone in the House, and showcased the knowledge of the Middle School boys. I would like to especially commend incoming House Captain, Josh Chen, for his extremely swift completion of the challenge, as well as Josh Marcos (8), for his impressive run. However, all this success could not have occurred without the continual support of the Tutors: Mr Hatton- Ward, Ms Vanden-Hengel, Mr Ackman, Mrs Ottaway and Ms Smith-Sergei. I, and all the boys of Founder’s would like to thank them for mentoring and supporting all of us throughout the year. Moreover, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr Neil Smallfield and Ms Marian Dunbar for assisting us as a leadership team, throughout the year. They have both been integral in mentoring and developing our leadership of the House, as well as distilling and guiding our often wild ideas for the House into practical and successful ones. I also thank the Year 12 boys of Founder’s for making my, and many other’s, high school experience unforgettable. A recent conversation with Mr Low, the former Founder’s Middle School Housemaster, reminded me that our year has had a total of six boys leave and five boys join from Year 7 to 12; an unfathomable sum considering how close we have become as a House group. It’s been an often loud and chaotic six years of tutor groups and conferences with you boys, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. My gratitude further extends to the House Monitor, Lucas Pezzano (9), and my two Vice-captains, Tane Edmed and Lelland Hui. Your continued efforts throughout the year have enabled me to most effectively serve and lead the House. Finally, I would like to congratulate Josh Chen for his appointment as House Captain in 2019, and Jorge Paraskevopoulos and Nicholas Liandinata (10) for their nomination as House Vice-captains. I believe this is easily one of the strongest leadership teams Founder’s has had in recent times, and I am assured that amazing things are in store for the House.

63 HENDERSON HOUSE

After having the privilege of being the Henderson House Captain for the past year, I can undoubtedly state that this is the greatest House in the School. I am proud to have led this House through a transformative period of change in Middle School and Senior School Housemasters. That this process went without a hitch is a testimony to the efforts of all the boys and staff in the House.

2018 has been an amazing year for the House of gold. The Weremy Shield was hotly contested in the Dodgeball Housemaster and Tug of War in the Middle School. Cleaning up Archer House, this was a great representation of the depth of talent in Henderson. Mr David Chilton Henderson performed well in the annual house competitions. The Swimming Carnival ended with a respectable Middle School Housemaster top eight placing, and special mention goes to Euan Germanos (9), James Green (9), and Ethan Hansford (12) Mr Alastair Hunt for outstanding performances on the day. The Touch Football competition was a great success for the Year 8-12 competition, with highlights coming House Tutors from Zane Chesterfield (11) and Miller Tauiliili-Pelesasa (11) whose team chemistry was the governing factor Mr Steven Vazouras when they were in play. Special mention goes to Ethan Hansford, Bradley Uglow (12) and Joseph Nassif (10) Mr Harry Byrnes whose Rugby prowess helped us to a near clean sweep. Dr Tim Barden The Athletics Carnival was a rollercoaster of emotions, with Athletics superstars, Luke Cunningham (12) and Mr Phillip Roser Theo Christian (9), showcasing their amazing athleticism throughout the day. Despite being placed second Dr Anthony Hood near the day’s end, we struggled to finish the meet off, finishing ninth overall. However, considering certain members of the House were unable to compete due to injuries, it was a great effort overall. House Captain The Henderson milkshake stand was, again, an amazing success, selling out halfway through the day. I’d Justin Kim like to personally thank the staff and all the boys who participated, as well as everyone who donated to the Henderson House hamper for the silent auction. Further congratulations go to all the boys who donated to our House Vice-Captains House charities and participated in our pizza and kebab days (which apparently there never seem to be enough Zac Lorusso of). Through their efforts, we raised a very large sum for the Exodus Foundation and World Vision. Luke Cunningham Mention must be made of Henderson’s academic success which is improving at a very fast rate, with over thirty GPA awards being handed out to boys in the House over the two semesters. Bronze, Silver, and Departmental House Colour awards, as well as praising comments from senior staff occur on a weekly basis and show that our Middle Gold School boys are raising the bar very high.

The achievements of Henderson House would not have been possible without the support and organisation of the staff of the House. Thank you to Mrs Sylvia Wallace, Mr Steven Vazouras, Dr Timothy Barden, Mr Philip Roser, and Dr Hood for being supportive Tutors throughout the year. Further thanks to Mr Alistair Hunt and Mr David Chilton for their work as respective Middle School and Senior School Housemasters for Henderson House. Personal thanks to Zac Lorusso (12) and Luke Cunningham (12) for their support as Vice-Captains.

To all the boys of Henderson House, thank you for giving me the opportunity to lead you as your Captain. It has been an honour. It’s been an absolute pleasure to see each and every one of you grow into better young men of the School. I wish you all the best in your endeavours going forward in life, and in achieving your goals. Remember to take all the opportunities given to you by the School, and to leave with no regrets.

65 HILLIARD HOUSE

The first time I lined up around the quad on orientation day as a Hilliard boy, I was unaware that the strangers around me would become my family for the next six years of my life. Today, as I stand here, as a Hilliard man, for the last time, I realise there has always been something quite unique about wearing purple. Perhaps it was having to accept that, despite the stigma in primary school, it is still quite manly to put on a purple shirt. Perhaps it was the culture of ‘business as usual’ which lead us to many house championship victories over the years. To me, Hilliard House can be likened to a Krispy Kreme donut which, for many years, Hilliard House has sold at the Fiesta. Every Krispy Kreme is made of two crucial elements. The first crucial element is the donut, the foundation on which the rest of the donut is built. Hilliard is also built on a solid foundation. Part of this foundation is the leadership of a strong Housemaster. Hilliard House was shocked when, toward the end of last year, our long time Housemaster, Mr Foran, announced that he would be stepping down at the end of 2017. Mr Foran has been a friend and mentor to many Hilliard men throughout their time in the House, and some even suspected his departure to be an undercover operation to sabotage other houses. We felt proud that we were able to send Mr Foran off with a victory in the House Championship, especially since he had put his heart and soul into the House for so many years. He led us to that victory. Housemaster Coming back into Term 1 this year off the back of that victory, we were determined to hit the ground running Mr Nick Pay with the aforementioned ‘business as usual’ Hilliard attitude. Our new Housemaster, Mr Pay, had big boots to fill, and I would like to thank and congratulate him on his first year, hopefully the first of many, as the valiant Middle School Housemaster leader of the purple army. His passion for the long-established Hilliard culture of every man having a go and Mr David Zhang being a valued member of the team has been greatly appreciated by all the boys. More key pieces of the Hilliard foundation are the friendships and camaraderie, and the healthy competitive House Tutors streak which runs in every boy’s veins. It is hard to put into words the feeling of familial belonging that I have felt throughout my time in the House. The brotherhood and community experience is so strong that by Year Mr David Dixon 12, every Hilliard man cannot help but feel the purple blood flowing within. Mr Brendan Duhigg The second crucial element of a Krispy Kreme donut, the special glazing, is the part of the donut which Mrs Carol Geddes separates Krispy Kreme from its competitors. Similarly, Hilliard house has its own glazing in the individual Mr Philip Mugridge and collective achievements of its members. This can be credited to the hard work and commitment of each Mr Matthew Paolacci individual, nurtured by the House culture. This year there have been many Hilliard boys who have contributed to the glaze. In the Middle School, Will Moir (8) medalled in the NSW Track and Field Championships, Will Cooper House Captain (9) was a representative in the Australian Schools Triathlon Festival, and Christopher Chin (9) represented NSW in the Da Vinci Decathlon; a mighty effort from all three boys. In the Senior School there were so many fantastic Benjamin Austin achievements that it would be impossible to name every single one. However, there are some outstanding results which need acknowledgment. In sport, there were two men who played 1st and 2nd XI Football, Sam House Vice-Captains York (11) and Jordan Terzopoulos (12). Kris Dahan (12) represented Trinity at the Australian Inter Schools George Fournaris Championships and achieved a silver medal in the Snowboard Giant Slalom. Matthew Brooks (12) and Tom Jordan Terzopoulos Corias (12) both played outstandingly in the 2nd XV Rugby, and Luke Gabriel (12) and Tom Corias played 1st and 2nd V Basketball, with Tom receiving a commendation as the ‘Defensive Player of the Year’ and Co- captain of the 1st V. In Music and Co-curricular, both Alex Maloof (12) and Sunny Tang (12) received their House Colour AMUS diploma, and Alex also had the honour of competing as the first speaker in the CAS Debating team. Kai Bishop Purple Brand (12) went above and beyond in his academics, receiving an early entrance offer and a scholarship for his outstanding skills in photography. Samuel Gorman (11) achieved the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award, whilst Ronan Maddox (11) and Jonathan Karagiannis (11) both received high roles of leadership in Cadets for 2019. Ben Bishop (11) was also announced as the SUO of Cadets in addition to the Vice-captain of the School. Truly, a Hilliard effort from all the boys. This leads me to one more important element of the Krispy Kreme donut which every Hilliard boy will know. Whenever you buy donuts, the more you buy, the better value for money you receive. Similarly, if you take a Hilliard man out of the house context, like everyone, he will have his strengths and weaknesses. However, when you take Hilliard House as a collective, that is when you begin to notice that the group is truly greater than the sum of its parts. This has been displayed time and time again at inter-house competitions when the whole of Hilliard turns out in force, determined to bring home the glory. Finally, as Year 12 leave Hilliard, I would like to thank every teacher who has put up with our noise throughout our time in the House: Mr Dixon, passionate about his rocks (for some unknown reason) and always up for an ethical discussion; Dr Acland, ever generous with his lolly snakes; Mr Chilton, always showing love towards the boys; Mrs Geddes, a mathematical genius and the most caring Tutor we could have asked for in Year 12; Mr Pay, a man whose love for the House is only rivalled by his love for the Cronulla Sharks; and Mr Foran, there is nothing else to say but that purple blood flows through his veins. Each and every one of these teachers have helped shape the outgoing Year 12 to be the men we are, and for this we thank you. Year 12 can be a very challenging time, and I would like to thank my fellow Year 12s, Kai Brand, Mathew Brooks, Nick Carnegie, Alex Chow, Tom Corias, Kris Dahan, Rajat Dixit, George Fornaris, Luke Gabriel, Mackenzie Gavin, Zachary Harrison, Alex Maloof, Sunny Tang and Jordan Terzopoulos for their commitment to each other and to the House. Boys, I will miss every minute I spent wearing purple alongside you, and I will look back on the times we spent together for years to come. Particularly, I would like to acknowledge my Vice- captains, George Fournaris and Jordan Terzopoulos. Your passion for everything Hilliard and your readiness to help the House in any way possible has been greatly appreciated. Congratulations to the incoming House Captain, Jordan Maze, and his Vice-captains Samuel Gorman, Riley Large and Andrew Gabriel. I’m sure you will receive the same support from your housemates as I did, and I look forward to hearing of great Hilliard victories in years to come. As I leave this chapter of my life behind, these are my final words as Captain of the greatest house, Hilliard: If you fall down, get back up and show them your purple blood. Up the purple men!

67 HOLWOOD HOUSE

For all the men of the House that have been passionate, co-operative and determined, I congratulate and thank you, as the year of 2018 has been one of the most successful for the House in recent history. All this success, and all the enjoyable times that we have experienced as a House would not have been possible without the dedication of our loving Housemasters, Mr Vaccarella (the Senior School Housemaster), Mrs Broadbent (the Middle School Housemaster), and Tutors, Mr Dimitrievski, Mrs Korjenevski, Mrs Chan, Mr Moore and Mr Murphy. For this support that you have shown to myself and the men of the House, I want to first thank you on behalf of the whole House. You have given boys opportunities to be recognised for their less publicised achievements, provided us a support system to manage and develop our academic potentials, and have given Housemaster us advice as to how we can develop as individuals in our House community, school community, as well as the Mr Joe Vaccarella greater community outside of Trinity Grammar.

Before I reflect on the past year, I wanted to thank all the outgoing Year 12 men of Holwood House: Deniz Middle School Housemaster Akpinar, Ejun Choi, Alex Ibrahim, Phillip Joseph, Ryan King, Justin Jasa, Jacob Savage, Vasi Macmillan, Matthew Mrs Heidi Broadbent Miller, Matt Vasic, Jack Pullinger, Nathan Rohr, Matthew Turner. I have really enjoyed knowing you gentlemen from the moment that we met on our ‘Orientation Day’ in 2012 and from when we began our high school House Tutors journey in January 2013. It is fair to say that the last six years have given all of us some of the best and most unforgettable memories. I look forward to catching up with you and sincerely wish you the best in your future Mr Bobby Dimitrievski endeavours. We will always be Holwood’s class of 2018. Mrs Valeria Korjenevski Mr Ian Moore Holwood has become a House that has developed in unity, and I believe this is why we have become one of Mr Andrew Murphy the strongest houses in the School. Last year Holwood came second in the overall House Cup Competition and only narrowly missed out on being proclaimed as the champions. Over the past twelve months, I have been proud to be a part of Holwood, as we have had record attendances at the Swimming and Track and Field House Captain Championships where we performed exceptionally well. Although we have athletes that help carry their own Alexander Kolesnikoff specific events at these carnivals, it has been exciting to see more Holwood men step outside their comfort zone and participate in more events to test their own confidence, endurance and abilities. A successful team is House Vice-Captains not necessarily a group of men that are exceptionally talented, rather a group of men that are determined to Phillip Joseph do the best for each other, and this is what I believe Holwood men have grown to be. I should also mention Matt Vasic that a bit of incentive in the form of a pizza day does also fire the boys up. The inter-house competitions were fiercely contested by the Holwood boys. We performed exceptionally well House Colour in the house Cricket, Beep-test, Fitness Challenge and of course the Chess. I have always enjoyed these events, Tan as everyone had an opportunity to enjoy themselves as well as compete against fellow class mates. This year was also special, as I was able to support the Year 7 Touch Football team and got to see every single boy in Holwood colours at every game.

The weekly House meetings have been an integral aspect of my Holwood experience as well as for a lot of the other men of the House. These Monday meetings have brought traditions into our House over the past couple years with the songs ‘Indescribable’ and ‘Amazing Grace’, the weekly acknowledgements of the boys achievements in academic, sporting and leadership fields, ‘Holwood Mug of the Week’ awards, and the presentation of boys talents through musical pieces. Most of the boys in the House have really enjoyed these aspects of our meetings, and we have been able to learn more about each other in these meetings. As a part of the life skills curriculum, there have been more conversations and videos in the meetings to challenge students to think about other aspects of life beyond studying and playing sport. I think that this is one detail that I will miss most about Holwood House.

To my leadership team, Phillip Joseph (12) and Matt Vasic (12), I have really enjoyed working with you both and greatly appreciate the help you gave generously to organise events for the House. Thank you for always picking up the role when I had sporting commitments. I hope you have equally enjoyed your final year at Trinity as a member of Holwood House, and finally, I want to wish you the best for a successful future.

2018 has been without a doubt the most enjoyable year of my schooling life, and being a part of the Holwood family has been an experience that I shall treasure for the rest of my life. I am extremely thankful to all the men of Holwood House, as you have been an important part of making this experience for myself and the other Year 12s one that we will cherish. It is sad to think that I may never have such a close community of friends, classmates and teachers again as I move on in my journey, and I hope that all the boys of the House in Years 7-11 really value every experience and opportunity that is provided to you, whether it be a house carnival or even a chapel service, as you may not have such experiences again.

Finally, I would like to congratulate my brother, Joshua Kolesnikoff (11), for being appointed as Holwood House Captain for 2019. I hope you treasure every moment as Holwood House Captain as much as I have. It is a big role to take on board, but I am sure that Holwood House will continue to grow and become the premier House under your leadership.

69 KERRIGAN HOUSE

Author and motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar, once said, “What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become while striving for them.” I believe that this quote holistically epitomises the attitude that drove Kerrigan House throughout 2018. In striving for our goals this year, our awesome family of green have had many valuable experiences and successes. The boys proudly joined the chorus of past Kerrigan students, building on echoes of camaraderie, enthusiasm and determination. I cannot describe the joy and honour it has been to be part of this body of people and to see the considerable development of each and every one of the boys within the House. As one of the leaders of the House, I know that I leave Trinity proud to have contributed to Kerrigan’s achievements and appreciative of the fond memories that will forever stay with me. Named after the great Alan Bevly Kerrigan, our House embodies his values and carries on his extraordinary legacy; one of achievement, passion and service to the School and its community. The mighty lime green started their successful 2018 campaign late last year with the House Cricket competition. While it was difficult to maintain the high ranking we held in the previous year, the boys performed to the best of their ability. There were a number of boys whose performances deserve special mention. Over the course of the competition, we saw sturdy batting from Finn Ritchie (12), consistent bowling from Peter Roser (9), and exceptional fielding from both Ritvik Dinesh (11) and Euan Kenny (8). Housemaster Following the Cricket competition, Kerrigan demonstrated their superiority over the other houses in both the Indoor Soccer and Touch Football competitions. Supporters got behind their players in the gym, ensuring a Mrs Anna Giuliani ‘top three’ position in the Soccer competition. Most notably, our First XI goal keeper, Zac Kapetanellis (12), displayed his excellent technical skills, and Zac Lawrence (11) showed his outstanding defensive prowess. In Middle School Housemaster Touch Football, our highly talented Year 7 group, led by Harry Groth, Jye Lawrence and Finn Ramanauskas, Mr Philip McKay dominated the competition to finish equal first with School House. Kerrigan’s spirit once again rose to the challenges encountered in the House Athletics and Swimming carnivals. Whether supporting from the stands or doing their best in the pool, our boys must be commended for their House Tutors outstanding efforts. Thanks to the enthusiasm and sheer talent of veteran swimmers such as Matthew Ng (11) Mrs Vikki Cummins and Sam Hohne (10), as well as incoming super fishes, Finn Ramanauskas (7) and Jamie Kim (7), we finished a Mr Brett Lammiman very impressive third. The energy and momentum we gained from our swimming achievements carried us into Ben Rossetto the House Athletics carnival where the boys again performed well. I’d especially like to mention the efforts of Matthew Esterman Jack Waide (7), Dean Kalliris (12) and Matthew Moore (11), who fought bravely in their events to ensure that Mr David Latimer a host of points were awarded to the House. Another significant achievement for Kerrigan this year has been their commitment to charity fund raising. Led by the inspirational Matthew Ng (11), the boys showed great support and a high degree of empathy in helping House Captain to raise $1,285 for the Westmead Children’s Hospital Medical Research Institute. Benny Ouyang As much as the Kerrigan House is a close-knit team, it is also gifted with a fine display of individual talent, with boys achieving representation at the highest levels. Michael Eid (10) played in the First XV, Zac Kapetanellis House Vice-Captains (12) was the First XI starting goalkeeper, Finn Ritchie played in the First XIII, Anthony Tsougranis (12) was Captain of Tennis, and Ritvik Dinesh played in the First VI. A number of boys in the House have excelled at even Haydon Johnson higher levels, achieving State and National recognition for their efforts and dedication in their respective sports. Zac Kapetanellis Matthew Ng competed at the Australian National Swimming Championship and Zac Gindy (9) represented NSW in Diving. Special mention must go to Jack Waide, who is following in the footsteps of Kerrigan’s veteran House Colour distance runner, Nathaniel Davies (12), by receiving the title of the best long-distance runner in Year 7 at Lime Green Trinity. Similarly, impressive achievements have also been attained by boys in Music as well as academics. Monty Guo (12), in addition to being the Vice-Captain of Music and the Captain of Orchestra, earned his LMus, a prestigious acknowledgment of his prowess on the violin. Daniel Chu (11) won the Sydney Eisteddfod in a Piano Trio and was awarded an academic citation. These acknowledgements in conjunction with ten GPA awards, highlight the dedication and intellectual ability of our Kerrigan boys. The successes, morale and connectedness within Kerrigan would not be possible without the support and reliability of our Tutors. Chris Gardner once said “strong people stand up for themselves, but stronger people stand up for others.” I can unbiasedly say that the staff within our House go out of their way to help the boys strive to reach their goals by encouraging them to always display their best character. I would wholeheartedly like to thank Mrs Munn, Mrs Cummins, Mr Esterman, Mr Rossetto, and Mr Lammiman for their contribution to the mighty lime green, and for helping the boys to continue to develop in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. On behalf of the House, I’d sincerely like to thank our Housemaster, Mrs Giuliani, for her wonderful leadership of the House. Her unfaltering dedication and passion towards the House provides a happy and respectful environment for us to develop holistically, and her encouraging guidance is the major reason for our many successes. I’d also like to thank our Middle School Housemaster, Mr McKay, who has motivated and enlightened the boys with his engaging devotions, thereby sharing the word of God with us. They both deserve our sincere gratitude, as they assist us in our Schooling, nurturing and aiding our development into contributing men in society. I would like to congratulate and thank my Year 12 classmates for making it this far and for making my time at school the most enjoyable period of my life. The fond memories and relationships created within our House and the leadership they have presented throughout the six years will be cherished and remembered with great respect and honour. I would like to personally thank the Vice Captains, Haydon Johnson (12) and Zac Kapetanellis for the smooth year and their contributions towards the management of the House. Congratulations to our incoming officers, House Captain, Matthew Ng, and Vice Captains, Zac Lawrence, Ritvik Dinesh, and Christyon Hayek (11). I am confident that their leadership will lead the mighty lime green into further prosperity and greatness. To the men of Kerrigan House, I would like to leave some advice. The House of lime green presents multiple opportunities for you to become involved. Make the most of these opportunities, keep an open mind, look outside the box, and try new things to guide you to new paths. Finally, give of yourself and your abilities, and you will reap the results of your contribution. “The only limit to our realisation of tomorrow will be our doubts of today." - Franklin.D Roosevelt

71 LATHAM HOUSE

The men of Latham House have been an absolute pleasure to lead this year. I witnessed herculean efforts from the Latham House men, through immense courage, dedication, support, and commitment across all year groups. The results from the various inter-house competitions, do not truly reflect the efforts of our men, and I am proud to say that a fear of failure did not phase them at any stage throughout the year. Over my six years in Latham House, I have felt the House grow, evolve, and continue to surpass expectations, and this year was no exception. I feel that the House has evolved into a family where we stand together as brothers. Latham House competed in every competition with one goal and one goal only — to do our best and to continue to be better today than we were yesterday. The greatest commendation I have for the men of Latham was their performance in the House Swimming Carnival. Coming into the competition we were seen as the underdogs as we are not renowned for our swimming prowess. To everyone’s surprise, we were placing second throughout the carnival, sending us all into a frenzy of excitement that made us push even harder in the events. Overall, we finished in fifth place, a great deal better than last year’s eleventh. During this time, I experienced a growing culture within Latham House of everyone taking responsibility in organising themselves, thus building the team work and camaraderie of the House. Housemaster The House Athletics Carnival posed a significant challenge for Latham as we were missing a large number of Mr Kai Ikeuchi our sportsmen to various tours and camps, however, we still put on a stellar performance. The men of Latham stepped up and showcased great dedication and support for the House, as many boys had to place themselves into events they were not comfortable with or had to take a last-minute call up. These selfless acts showcase Middle School Housemaster the constant growth of the House, and I hope this continues to foster throughout the years to come. Mr David Davies The highlight of the year was the Fitness Challenge where Latham placed first. A tremendous effort, particularly in light of the fact that each year group needs to participate equally within the challenge, which always makes House Tutors the Fitness Challenge a difficult event. Mr Ashely Lucas Trinity is a school that provides many opportunities, and the sporting field is where many succeed. Making Mr Mark Mikulandra any first-grade team is no mean feat. Therefore, I would like to acknowledge Harry Goldsmith (10) and Luca Mrs Elizabeth Murphy Dimeglio (10) for their debut season in the 1st XI Cricket side. I’d also like to mention Darcy Mooney (9) who Mrs Tabatha Paterson sub-fielded for the 1st XI during one of their matches. Mr Andrew Payne Ms Mel Franciscus Special mention goes to Sam Yip (12) who was appointed the Captain of Waterpolo and led the 1st VII team with vigour throughout the 2017-2018 season. Thomas Ea (8) and Harrison Watson (11) showcased their Mr Lewis Liu tireless dedication in the pool by being selected in the CAS Swimming Squad.

House Captain In the winter season, Sam Yip showcased his athletic skills to be selected in the 1st XI Football team. Congratulations to Sam Yip, Bill Zhu (11), Harry Goldsmith, Asher Wilson (10) and Kai Roberts (9) for being Alexander Douglas selected in the CAS Track and Field squad. Special mention must go to Asher for making it back in time for the Track and Field season after a long time on the sidelines due to injury. House Vice-Captains Throughout the year, a number of Latham House men were involved in several co-curricular activities, and it Nicholas Pavic was great to see the number of leadership opportunities taken on in the Trinity Grammar School Army Cadet Sam Yip Corps with appointments to CUO Nicholas Pavic (12) as the Training Officer, CUO Nicholas Perera (12) as the Adjutant, and CSM Mahdi Makki (12) as the Drill Sergeant Major. Congratulations on a successful year of House Colour Cadets. Black This year, Latham showcased its musical talent with several leadership appointments. Congratulations to the Captain of Music, Leon Liang (12), on leading a masterful Gala Concert at The Concourse, Chatswood. He was supported by the Vice-Captain of Music, Darren He (12), Captain of Choirs, Nicholas Pavic, and Vice-Captain of Choirs, Annan Lertsumitkul (12). The evening was sold-out within minutes of the tickets going on sale, and from the feedback I received, it was a high-class performance by all the musical ensembles. Trenton La (7), Zac Lin (8) and Joshua Perera (9) were selected to represent the School in the inaugural Da Vinci Decathlon at Knox this year. I hope this experience will guide them to future success. A great honour of the House is to be appointed the Year 9 Monitor, and I would like to congratulate Christopher Grubisic (9) for his tireless efforts in supporting and leading the House. I am indebted to the efforts of the House Vice-Captains, Nicholas Pavic and Sam Yip, as they shared vital roles in leading the House, and I am grateful to them for being such exceptional role models. I am also very thankful to the rest of the Year 12 group for their continued friendship throughout the years, their leadership this year, and for the bond that we have all formed. Also, congratulations to the incoming leadership team consisting of House Captain, Oscar Jones (11) and the Vice-Captains, Kenny Vu (11), Daniel White (11), and Bill Zhu (11). I am sure they will all do an amazing job in the coming year, and I cannot wait to hear the results the House will continue to produce. Many thanks must go to our House Tutors, Mrs Elizabeth Murphy, Mr Mark Mikulandra, Mrs Heather Bootle, Mr Andrew Payne, and Mr Ashley Lucas, for their ongoing support of the House. To the Middle School Housemaster, Mr David Davies, thank you for guiding the Latham men in the Middle School. Last but not least, the Latham Housemaster, Mr Kai Ikeuchi. I would like to extend my gratitude to Mr Ikeuchi especially, and thank him for his continual support and mentorship this year. Starting as Housemaster last year, he has been a significant role model for both myself and the rest of the men of Latham House, and I would like to thank him for his inspiring work as the House’s leader and mentor. Finally, I would like to thank all of the men of Latham House who made my year as House Captain so enjoyable and fulfilling. I have no doubt that Latham House will continue to evolve, and I am optimistic that you will all continue to become better men who contribute greatly in all facets of life.

73 MURPHY HOUSE

"No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it." ~ H.E.Luccock This year, the young men of Murphy House have certainly been the living embodiment of the words of H.E. Luccock. As in the previous years, 2018 has provided its fair share of both victories and misfortunes, and credit should go to the young men of Murphy whose desire to outperform last year’s result of coming fourth had motivated them throughout this year. At the very start of 2018, we were greeted with a phenomenal group of Year 7s. From Orientation Day itself, I was amazed by not only their individual talents and kindness, but most importantly their teamwork in helping each other. Despite coming from different schools and not knowing each other, the way they worked together in several of the Orientation Day activities showed me their potential to be a formidable force in the future. From elite musicians to state swimmers and academic scholars, I wish them all the best in their future endeavours and know that they will make Murphy proud. Murphy was tossed in the deep end with our first major competition being the Swimming Carnival. Having come twelfth last year, we were even more determined to prove ourselves and outperform our competition. Hence, it is no surprise that we came sixth. While I must commend the amazing performances by Cooper Housemaster Twine (7), Duncan Feng (9) and Jacob Gadiel (12), I will say that our win should not simply be attributed to Ms Sabine Wieczorek the performance of a few boys. Rather, as quoted from an impromptu speech, “It's not about how fast our fastest swimmers can swim, it's about how fast our average swimmers can swim”. Thus, I credit this victory to everyone who was there both swimming and cheering for our House. Middle School Housemaster With that major hurdle out of the way, and Murphy being more determined than ever, our victory in the Mr Ian Moran Swimming Carnival was soon followed by triumphs in the Cricket and Chess competitions. While it is a coincidence that both the head of Cricket and Chess are part of Murphy, there is no doubt that their guidance and tips contributed to Murphy ranking second and seventh in Cricket and Chess respectively. Moreover, what should also be highlighted is the attitude of both teams in every game, never losing focus and always having House Tutors the hunger to win. Mr Danny Nguyen Ms Jennifer Nixon It was then time to compete in the second major competition, the Athletics Carnival. Unfortunately, the Athletics Carnival came at a time when many of our boys were at camp or were injured. While one may be Dr Mark Tutton disappointed by simply focusing on the raw score, this should not be overshadow the valiant effort the boys Mr James St Julian made. Boys stepped up and participated in events which they normally wouldn’t do. I saw boys who knew Mr Justin Vincent that they would have to work ten times harder and yet still craved success. Special mention should go to the Year 10 group, which despite only consisting of eight students, was determined to compete in every event. House Captain While the results of the Athletics Carnival and the Fitness Challenge were disappointing, our performance in Siven Sathiakumar the Touch Football competition meant that our goal of surpassing last year’s overall result was still in sight. With leadership from Jacob Gadiel and Jack Bermingham (11) in the senior team and Tom Power (7) and Ryan House Vice-Captains Geddes (7) in the junior team, Murphy was able to rank highly, finishing sixth. Flynn Innes Something which has always inspired me is the altruistic and charitable attitude that the boys in Murphy have Sam Rittenbaum towards others. This is evident in Murphy’s commitment to take part in the Red Shield Appeal. This year we were able to raise a massive $4,000 which will be used by the Salvation Army to help those in need. In addition, we continued to sponsor a young girl in Kenya, in order to assist her with access to education so that she can House Colour become a leader in her community and help those around her. I was grateful that each week boys were willing Khaki to donate money to ensure the success of this endeavour. It has been an amazing six years being part of Murphy, and I thank the outgoing group of Year 12s. While we lost a few members over the years who moved to different schools or countries, I will never forget the friendship that we have shared from the very beginning. I must also give special mention to my two Vice- captains, Flynn Innes (12), for his hard-working and jovial attitude that inspired so many in the house, and Sam Rittenbaum (12), for his cool-headedness and ability to always know how to handle any situation. I would also like to congratulate the incoming Murphy leadership team, consisting of the Captain, Thomas Spratt (11), and Vice-captains, Joshua Borgnolo (11) and Lin Pham (11). We are also very fortunate to have the upcoming School Captain, Nick Bouletos, and two of the School Prefects, Kenneth Chu and Isaac Wilkins. During my six years of being part of Murphy, I have had the pleasure of experiencing an array of enjoyable and interesting tutor periods. From simply playing hangman and trivia games in Year 7 to the more mature topics of understanding the complexity of wine tasting in Year 12, I never will forget the amount of fun I had while being in Murphy. Thus, I thank Mr James St Julian, Dr Mark Tutton, Mr Justin Vincent, Mr Danny Nguyen and Ms Jennifer Nixon for inspiring and guiding us throughout our school life. Special mention must also be given to the Middle School Housemaster, Mr Ian Moran, for his role as a supportive and kind-hearted figure in Murphy. We thank him for being someone who was always available for us to talk to and ask him for help. Finally, to Ms Sabine Wieczorek, there is nothing which I could say that can quantify how much you have influenced and shaped all of us. Personally, I have learned something new from every conversation I had with you, whether about life as a whole, or strategies in the card game 500. Murphy is defined by its people, and it is your passion and kindness that is reflected in the boys of the House. On behalf of Year 12, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being such an important figure to us. It has been a pleasure to be able to lead such a well-matured group of boys, and while I do regret some of those embarrassing ‘inspirational speeches’ I made – as many of you will cheerfully remember – I will always treasure 2018 and the experiences it offered. I wish all of you the very best in your future endeavours.

75 SCHOOL HOUSE

It was the year of comebacks for School House this year. After a rather disappointing result in the Inter-House competitions in 2017, the boys were determined to improve. School House has surprised me with their ‘never give up’ and ‘it’s not over till it’s over’ attitude. This became clear to me and to the whole School through our efforts in the Trinity’s House Swimming carnival. Ranked eleventh half-way through the carnival, the boys of School House were disappointed with this result. Inspired by Angus McDonald’s (11) Superfish win, the boys dug in with some outstanding swims from Sam Foung (7) and Danny Huang (11), to pull the House into the top Housemaster four. Similarly, for Track and Field, low on numbers, the boys from School House showed that this would not stop them. Constantly filling in the gaps for his House mates, Edward Yu (9) was the stand-out for the House. Mr Ben Cook In addition, we also had Haydyn Bathurst (12) who stepped up and did extra races, leaving his competitors in the dust in the 100m. Middle School Housemaster Mr Matthew Miller To say the boys were inspired by our new Housemaster, Mr Cook, and his motivating speeches is an understatement. This was shown through the efforts shown in Touch Football, Indoor Soccer, Cricket, Chess and the Fitness Challenge. School House asserted their dominance on the footy field with the Hatton-Ward House Tutors brothers of Ned (12), Theo (9) and Orly (7) schooling their competition, showing skill and teamwork to cross Mr Andrew Simos the line several times for the boys in blue. Indoor Soccer was another successful competition for School House. Mr Adam Wood With Yanni Plataniotis (10) and James Hart (12) stepping up when it counted, clinching victory from the jaws Mrs Rosey Stewart of defeat on several occasions. Another successful expedition for School House was the beep test where the Mrs Kirsten Taylor House achieved consistent results across all year groups, with a stand out performance from Edward Li (11) who reached level 13. Once again, Anton Demark (10) showed his intellectual dominance in Chess, bringing Mrs Jessica Mayr glory to School House. Mr Don Kesby Outside of school, the House was well represented in different sports. In Rugby , we had Lachlan Ilias (12) who House Captain was selected for the CAS 1st XV, NSW 1st XV (who won the Inter-State Championship) and due to his efforts, Lucas Baita earned a spot in the Australian Schoolboys team. School House had another Australian representative, Angus McDonald (11). Fresh off his CAS success of record breaking swims, Angus was selected to not only represent Australia but captain this team at the Junior Pan Pacs held in Fiji. Angus came away with a silver medal in the House Vice-Captains freestyle relay with a blistering time of 50.15! School, known for their great swimmers, did not disappoint Ned Hatton-Ward again this year. School House was well represented with Aden Searant (12), Elliott Earnshaw (11) and Angus Aiden Yeoh McDonald all competing. Elliott came away with a silver medal in his medley relay as well as another two top ten finishes. Angus was also a member of the silver medal relay, and Angus also enjoyed the success of a gold medal in his 100m free and more top ten finishes in other events as well. Another incredible representative House Colour achievement included Yanni Platoniotis and Josh Yeoh (10) being selected in the CAS 16s Football side as well Royal Blue as Greg Kostoglou (11) being selected in the Opens CAS side. Another successful area for School House was Cricket in which we had Josh Yeoh and Sebastian Buchanan (10) both winning the CAS premiership with the 1st XI. Sebastian was also selected for the NSW Under 17 squad. In addition, in a sport not common amongst Trinity boys, Boxing, Anton Markovic was crowned National Champion for his weight class. Definitely, this was School House’s most successful year in sport outside of school.

Commendation must go to the Vice-Captains of the House, Ned Hatton-Ward and Aiden Yeoh, for their continuous efforts for the House doing any job required of them. This included, marking rolls, reading prayers and bible passages, organising House activities and their overall support of School House. Furthermore, I would also like to thank the Peer Support leaders, Elliott Earnshaw and Justin McNamara (11), for their great support and guidance of the Year 7s. Praise must also go to Angus McDonald, Peer Mediator, Kevin Lin (9), Monitor, and our Charity Committee members, Yanni Plataniotis, Caleb Nazareth and Alexander Mallis, for their service to the House. However, School House would not be successful without the hard-work and support of our Tutors, Mr Miller, Mr Kesby, Ms Taylor, Mrs Stewart, Mr Wood, Mr Cook and Mr Simos. Despite it being his first year as School Housemaster, I would like to thank Mr Cook for his ability to bring out the best in all members of School House and his commitment to ensuring School House is the best house at Trinity.

Finally, I would like to encourage the boys of School House to continue showing pride in the House you represent, and also continue to grow into the best versions of yourself. Thank you to all the boys of School House for making the past years so memorable and proving to me there is no better house to be a part of. I want to congratulate and wish the 2019 leaders of School House, Captain, Elliott Earnshaw, and Vice Captains, Angus McDonald and Justin McNamara, as well as Prefect, Oliver Buchanan, all the best for the upcoming year. I am confident this leadership group can uphold the values of School House and embrace any challenges set before them. Agamus Pro Viribus.

77 STEPHENSON HOUSE

Throughout my six years at Trinity Grammar Senior School, I have observed the young men of Stephenson House flourish, mature, continue to grow in confidence, and exceed expectations.

The loyalty, camaraderie, and fellowship of my peers is exemplified through the strong character of each and every one of them.

During my time as a member of Stephenson House, I have witnessed great vitality, exceptional spirit, unrivalled Housemaster enthusiasm, and unwavering empathy and humility amongst our tight-knit community, and our steadfast Mr Michael Spratt bonds of friendship will undoubtedly continue beyond our school days.

Middle School Housemaster Our House motto, "Vires in Fraternitate" translates to "Strength in Brotherhood". It has been the heart and foundation upon which our success has grown and we have always made reference to it during our House Mr Will Henry prayer.

House Tutors Stephenson's success has been remarkably evident this year with a standout performance and achievement in Ms Alison Boyd-Boland the School Swimming Carnival, where we finished in second place overall. The many house challenges, such as Mr Robert Currer the Fitness Challenge and The World's Greatest Shave, provided ample opportunities for us to excel, cultivating enormous spirit, purpose, and resolve. I must commend the boys who went out of their way to participate; Mr Michael Leadbeatter their tremendous efforts are greatly appreciated. Mr Paul Stenhouse Mr Lachlan White It would be remiss of me to not acknowledge the dedication of all the members of Stephenson House, in particular the extraordinary staff whose boundless commitment and immeasurable guidance and devotion House Captain do not go unappreciated. Our House Tutors, Mr Currer, Ms Boyd-Boland, Mr White, Mr Stenhouse, and especially Mr Leadbeatter, who have all tirelessly supported the Year 12 students during a time of stress William Bonaccorso and challenge, deserve our gratitude. I would also like to acknowledge Mr Henry who, as Middle School Housemaster, has been immensely supportive through his kind-heartedness and his contribution to the superb House Vice-Captains running of Stephenson House. Matthew Shaba Lachlan Sinclair A most highly regarded member of our team is undeniably our Housemaster, Mr Spratt. Throughout my time in Stephenson House, our cherished commander and chief has provided us with opportunities to grow in knowledge, benevolence, and integrity. Mr Spratt has been an exceptional role model and is held in the highest House Colour esteem. I could not be more appreciative of him and the exemplary work ethic he has instilled in the young Turquoise men of Stephenson House.

As the academic year is coming to an end, I would like to thank each Stephenson House member for the brilliant, unforgettable, rewarding, sentimental and occasionally astonishing adventures we have shared. I thank you for the support and respect you have shown me this year, and I am certain your commitment and allegiance to our House will remain steadfast under the guidance of the entering leadership team. I wish the incoming House Captain, Nabeel Hatoum (11), and the newly appointed House Vice-Captains, Thomas Butler (11) and Frank Constantinidis (11), the very best with their future endeavours. I am confident they will continue to foster the tenacious brotherhood of our House.

It is my pleasure to thank the Year 12 Stephenson cohort, especially the current Vice-Captains, Lachlan Sinclair and Matthew Shaba, for their exceptional support and contribution to the outstanding success Stephenson House has showcased throughout the year. To our Year 12 colleagues and companions, Marcus Archilles, Joseph Assaf, David Carreon, Christian Gerondeau, Patrick Jiang, Marcus Mircevski, Alexander Scott, Athi Srinivasan, Cameron Tam, Riley Welfare, and Dylan Zhang, it has been a lengthy but unforgettable journey that I will be eternally grateful for having shared with you. To my fellow 2018 graduates, thank you for your friendship. I wish you the very best for success in your chosen careers and pray that we may stay in close contact for many years to come.

79 TAUBMAN HOUSE

Throughout my six years in Taubman House, I have witnessed high levels of optimism and diligence, characterised by academic, sporting, and musical achievements, to name a few. The young men of the House have also exemplified altruistic behaviour, seeking to serve those in need or promote a cause. Individual and collective achievements are commended at House meetings, and successes are identified and discussed. These successes could not have been achieved without the wisdom and support of our Housemasters, Mr Pierce and Mr Treloar, and the tireless efforts of the Tutors, Mr Del Riccio, Ms Robins, Mr Mickler, Mrs Daniels and Mr Housemaster Bootle. Their constant mentoring of the young men of the House, whether it be in teaching life skills, academic assistance, or psychological support, was greatly appreciated. Mr Andrew Pierce I would like to commend the Year 7 students for the way they have adapted to the House in the space of three Middle School Housemaster terms. They established friendships and created strong bonds very quickly which was thrilling to see. This was Mr Ben Treloar demonstrated through their many successes in the house competitions, such as Touch Football and Indoor Cricket. Their approach has been highly commended by all members of the House.

House Tutors Throughout 2018, the House supported various charities and causes, such as ‘White Ribbon day’ and the 40- Mr Simon Bootle Hour Famine backpack challenge, demonstrating our concern for the wider community. Looking to those in Mr Andrew Del Riccio need helps us to realise how privileged we are and challenges us to see how we can help. Miss Ami Liu 2018 saw consistent efforts from the men of Taubman House, demonstrated through the high levels of Mr Andreas Mickler attendance to all house competitions and events. Top eight placings were frequently achieved, such as sixth in Miss Sofia Robins the Fitness Challenge, Tug-of-War and Indoor Cricket competitions, and fourth in Chess, to name a few. With both diligence and determination, the boys have been able to support each other within various aspects of House Captain House life, which will assist the House in improving overall performances as they head towards 2019. William Raptis I highly commend the Vice-captains of the House, Ben On (12) and Sanath Bala (12), for their continual support in all aspects of House administration. Their thorough organisational skills have undoubtedly influenced many House Vice-Captains Middle and Senior School members, and they have been extraordinary role-models. I have no doubt they will Ben On continue to uphold these characteristics in all aspects of their lives after school. Sanath Bala I would also like to acknowledge the support our families provide to the House. One family, in particular, deserves the upmost commendation within Taubman House. Dr and Mrs Nigro have been part of the Trinity House Colour community for an extraordinary twenty-five years. Steven Nigro (05) began his journey as a Trinitarian in 1993. White He was then followed by Jono (06), Donato (14), then twins Jeremy (12Ta) and Gabrielle (12Ta) who began their journey in pre-kindergarten in 2005. Dr and Mrs Nigro have provided the House with so many blessings, and as a representative of Taubman House, I would sincerely like to thank them for their years of service to both the School and the House.

I would like to express my upmost gratitude to the Housemasters, Mr Treloar and Mr Pierce, for the optimism and enthusiasm they provide to the men of Taubman House. Much of this work takes place behind the scenes, and both Housemasters continue to improve aspects of pastoral care and House administration. Their incomparable guidance to all students has not gone unnoticed, and on behalf of all Taubman men, I thank them both for all they have sacrificed for the benefit of the House.

To the senior men of Year 12, Sanath Bala, Jayann Chen, Yiwei Chen, Nikolas Ginis, Harrison Haritos, Jeremy Nigro, Gabriel Nigro Ben On, Christopher Saintilan, Aniket Sharma and Justin Wiseman, thank you for all the fond memories that we have shared. I will forever cherish the past six years with all of you in my heart, as I know you will too. May you all enjoy a happy and prosperous life and grow in stature and in favour with God and man.

The incoming House Captain, Connor Murphy (11), and Vice-captain, Justin Sleiman (11), are both men who have demonstrated positive and enthusiastic leadership qualities which will be highly valued throughout their remaining time at Trinity and beyond. I wish them all the best in 2019. I know they will work with everyone in the House to attain a positive, yet challenging experience.

81 WEEKS HOUSE

This has been a tremendous year for the men of Weeks House. We kicked off the year with a positive and determined attitude towards learning and broader Trinity life. As House Captain, I have enjoyed the privilege of being able to watch the boys grow into helpful and cheerful young men. With lots of House events and fundraising activities, it has been a jam-packed and productive year.

The year began with addition of Mr Bosco as the new Middle School Housemaster. He has certainly brought Housemaster fresh wisdom and fun through the House, alongside our hard-working Housemaster, Mr Hirst, resulting in the House being constantly in happy spirits. Our first House event, the School Swimming Championships, brought Mr Matthew Hirst all of us together to compete to the very best of our ability. With great swimming by all in the House, and the strong sportsmanship shown, we ended up with a respectable ninth place. Special mention should be made of Middle School Housemaster Jason Yeou (9), Ryan Hansen (11) and Alan Paradzik (11) who performed at their best to push Weeks House Mr Anthony Bosco up to the top ten. As the summer season continued, the House rose to the challenge with a tenth place in the Cricket and a marvellous third place in the Chess, with Cameron Strauss (12) leading from the front. Even though we didn’t always come out on top, the members of Weeks House would always turn up with a positive House Tutors attitude to compete in these events. This made it a real pleasure to lead the House. Mr Brett Andersen Mr William Campbell While there have been a number of significant results within the House, it is equally important to acknowledge Mr Luke Gray the efforts of Weeks boys throughout the whole School: Liam Scott (12) competing in the firsts Cricket, as well as playing for the Australian team; Nick Tsiakos (11) in the firsts Volleyball; Anthony Grasso (12) played Mr Bill Foran formidably in the firsts Football during winter, whilst Joshua Kerr (12) played in the firsts AFL, with Ashwin Mr Stuart McRae Aggarwal (12) scoring a goal in his first ever AFL game for the Trinity firsts. In the wider realm, some members of the House have achieved impressive feats: Andrew Kim (12) won the Sydney Eisteddfod all ages Brass and House Captain Woodwind concerto, playing clarinet, and Liam Scott (12) became a junior Australian cricketer. Joshua Kerr Straying away from sport, the House participated in many charity events. A gelato stall at the start of the year and a barbecue near the end of the year brought in a significant contribution for the children we sponsor House Vice-Captains through Compassion Australia: Joshua (Indonesia) and Heryanto (Uganda). I would like to thank the selflessness Ashwin Aggarwal of the boys in the House as they gave up their recess and lunch times to help with this worthy cause. Both of Liam Scott the events ran smoothly, bringing in over $1600 in sponsorship.

On behalf of the House, I would personally like to thank the magnificent job the Tutors and Housemasters have House Colour done - Mr Gray, Mr Anderson, Mr McRae, Mr Foran and Mr Campbell, with Mr Bosco as Middle School Master Mid Blue and Mr Hirst as Weeks Housemaster. It is because of the staff that Weeks is such a well-run and pleasant group of young men to lead. I would also like to give credit to my fellow Vice-captains, Ashwin Aggarwal and Liam Scott, for their continued effort and dedication to the House which certainly made my job easier. I also congratulate Greg Aravanis (11) as the House Captain for next year, as well as Alan Paradzik and Mohammad Hijazi (11) as Vice-captains. I wish them all good luck on their Year 12 journey. I am pleased to be leaving the House in capable hands and look forward to watching Weeks House thrive in the future.

To my fellow Year 12 students, I thank all of you colossally for your companionship and your strong, supportive demeanour throughout the past six years. I will embrace the memories we shared in and out of the House, and hope we can continue our friendships in the future. I wish you all the best and hope you succeed in whatever you may aspire to do. To the rest of the boys in the House, I wish you good luck in your studies and hope that all of you work to your greatest potential and enjoy your high school years.

Looking back on my time at trinity, I am proud to have been placed in Weeks House. The friendly nature of the students and teachers has made my time here enjoyable and supported me day by day. I am forever grateful to be surrounded by this supportive group of staff and students who I can call my friends.

83 WILSON HOGG HOUSE

It has been a pleasure and a privilege to be part of Wilson Hogg throughout my time at Trinity. To be selected as House Captain and to lead the House this year was an absolute honour, and I extend my gratitude to all those involved in the House, both students and staff. Whether it was the beginning or the end, all members supported each other and displayed that Wilson Hogg House spirit.

2018 saw a development in Wilson Hogg’s performance in both the House Swimming Championships and Housemaster the House Track and Field Championships. Every year, boys from all year groups gave their best effort pushing the House to 3rd place in the Swimming and 6th place in the Athletics. With a deficiency of members in both Mr Guy Dennis events due to the field studies camp, it was very inspiring to see the eagerness and excitement of the boys to partake in extra events above their age group to fill in these gaps. Special mention must go to David Kim (10) Middle School Housemaster and Samuel Xu (10) for their impressive involvement in the Swimming and also William Martin (9) and Jonno Ms Sarah Tallis Term 4 2017 Batson (12) for their outstanding efforts in the House Track and Field. Mr Jean-Baptiste Ribola Term 1 2018 This level of determination and enthusiasm was easily noticeable in other inter-house competitions such as the Cricket, Indoor Soccer, Chess and the Fitness Challenge, with unfailingly good results across the board. House Tutors However, our most exceptional result this year was the Cricket where Wilson Hogg ended the season Mr Daniel Chu undefeated with the most amount of points out of all sixteen houses. Special commendation must be given to Ms Daphne Kao all participants for their dominant performances. Mr Mark Oakley This year, Wilson Hogg maintained its high standard of academic performance, with multiple students in all Mr Alexander Simpson year groups receiving GPA Awards throughout the year. This achievement is a great exemplar of the hard work Ms Maria Thanos the Wilson Hogg men put into their academic success. They should also be commended for their all-round excellence in sports and music. The balance of mind, body and spirit is represented in the wide variety of co- House Captain curricular activities pursued by Wilson Hogg boys. This includes Cadets, various musical ensembles, Debating, Nicholas Webb Chess, Duke of Edinburgh, and the Year 11 charity committee. I give my sincere thanks to William Martin (9), our Year 9 Monitor, for his solid work and support of the Middle House Vice-Captains School boys this year. Furthermore, our Year 11 Peer Support Leaders, and Peer Mediator, have done an Jonno Batson exceptional job of helping the Year 7s settle into the School and acting as good role models for these younger Saachin Simpson boys of the House. I would also like to thank the leadership team of 2018 -

Congratulations to Aiden Tharmarajah (11) on being appointed the Wilson Hogg House Captain for 2018. House Colour Congratulations also to the incoming House Vice-captains, John Edwina (11) and Richard Makenzie (11), and Grey the House Prefects. I am extremely confident that this fine group of young men will lead Wilson Hogg House to another year of all-round success.

I would like to sincerely thank the tutors of Wilson Hogg House, Middle School Housemaster, Mr Ribola, and Housemaster, Mr Guy Dennis, for their endless work and support for the boys in Wilson Hogg.

Finally, I would like to thank the young men of Wilson Hogg House for your commitment, enthusiasm and friendship which made 2017 such an enjoyable and successful year. I wish you all the best for your days at Trinity and have no doubt that all of you will grow in mind, body and spirit to become better men who contribute greatly in all facets to life.

85 WYNN JONES HOUSE

Proverbs 27:17 is one line that every Wynn Jones House member has become familiar with as our unofficially official House motto, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Nobody understands the significance of this motto better than Mr Waters who reminded us of the importance of teamwork on all spiritual, physical and academic levels. It has been this motto and the influence of our Housemaster and Tutors, which inspired me to reinforce such values in the members of the House.

Housemaster It has been my absolute pleasure to lead the boys in pink for 2018. After reflecting not only on the results of our sporting and academic achievements but also on the growing sense of teamwork, I have concluded Mr Mark Waters that collectively, the boys have surpassed this standard of “teamwork” and are now progressing towards something deeper. Unity. On what basis can I make such conclusion? Do the results justify it? Middle School Housemaster Ms Katie Brett I first began to notice elements of the boys coming together in unity in the smaller house competitions such as Touch Footy, Chess, Cricket and Indoor Football (to name a few), where I got to witness the outgoing and enthusiastic efforts of many of the boys who participated. This is also where I became burdened with having House Tutors an oversupply of volunteers and limited available positions, yet I was surprised by the selfless acts amongst the Mr Stephen Collins boys (especially amongst the Year 7s and 8s) who in a short twenty minute Indoor Football game, insisted on Mr Stephen Foster substituting themselves off every few minutes to allow everyone an opportunity to play. Two main standout Mrs Georgette Khalil (Term 4) players within the House who continue to put themselves forward and represent in many events are Aidis Mr Ringo Mok Exarhos (8) and Will Gray (8). Mr Daniel Tkacz The next major house event was the Athletics carnival. Again, boys stepped up to participate in events with Mr James Zhang vacant spots. Special mention must go to Alec Mackenzie (11) (who was quickly able to fill in for injured fellow House members) and Nick Schutte (10) (who replaced an absent teammate and ran the 400-metre leg in the House Captain medley relay, despite preferring shorter distance races). Luke Salanitro-Chafei On the leadership side of things, Wynn Jones is home to many of the School representatives, including four prefects, two peer support leaders, and sports and Co-curriculum leaders. In peer support, Dillon Srikumar (11) House Vice-Captain and Jordan Gupta (11) are to be commended for their extensive support and influence on the Year 7s in their Kevin Finnerty first year attending high school. Darcy Edwards (12) should also be commended for his role as Captain of the Joseph Wang 1st XI Football team for 2018. Another sporting legend to be congratulated is Oliver Arkell (12) who captained the 1st VI Volleyball team for both summer and winter seasons. Fynn Ferdinands (9), our Year 9 monitor, should also be recognised for his quiet but helpful contributions to the House, as every morning he assists me House Colour in marking the role at quad and is consistently present to support in any way possible. Bishop Pink However, I believe that those deserving of the highest praise are the staff within the House. Mr Waters has spent that past five years leading as Housemaster, and in that time, the students have undoubtedly appreciated his continuous patience and support. His affirmation in the Bible and his weekly mini-sermons have reminded us of the importance of Christianity, which is central to the School ethos. I would also like to extend the thanks of the House to Ms Brett, who despite being one of the latest assets to Wynn Jones, has contributed extensively to not only the Middle School but the entire House with her encouraging talks and motivating House meeting activities. Also, I would like to thank Mr Tkacz, Mr Mok, Mr Zhang, Mr Collins, and Mr Foster (despite his recent resignation) for their commitment to the House. Lastly, I would like to welcome the newest staff member to the House, Ms Khalil.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the House for making 2018 my best year at Trinity. I am sure the other graduating Year 12s share this appreciation. Wynn Jones has helped me grow as a leader, and I know that Wynn Jones will continue to help all its members grow into fine young men as they approach the end of their schooling. I am confident that the new House Captain, Jordan Gupta (11), will continue to add to the Wynn Jones legacy, and I know that future members of Wynn Jones will come to love the House as much as I have. As exams approach for boys across all years, I would like to leave this message of support: “Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” – Joshua J.

87 YOUNG HOUSE

What an incredible and memorable year it was for Young House! Thanks to a number of outstanding individual performances, as well as whole-House efforts, Young House has been one of the true quiet achievers in 2018. It was excellent to see the progress of so many of our younger members. I still remember meeting our new Year 7s for the first time on Orientation Day last November, and their change in confidence has been profound since then. This shows the success of the house system, which provides an incredibly supportive environment for all and forges links across the year groups. At its heart, however, are two outstanding people who display an unfaltering dedication to the House and its boys: our Housemaster, Mr Terry Haywood, and our Middle School Housemaster, Mrs Phyllis Bookluck. Without them, Young House would be just another house. It has been a pleasure to witness the camaraderie amongst the boys and sharing the feeling of still being compelled to say ‘Hey!’ to that same kid from Young House despite encountering him three times previously that day. I cannot begin to express my gratitude to the Vice-Captains of Young House. Tom Diiorio-De Domeneghi (12) and James Field (12) have provided unbelievable assistance to me and been real assets to the House. Their leadership has been superb in all instances, whether week-to-week within the House or at the House Swimming or Track and Field. As always, the support of our other House leaders has been invaluable. My thanks goes to the Year 11 Peer Support Leaders, Chris Screnci and Calvin Lukabyo, our Year 11 Peer Mediator, Housemaster Vir Suri, and our Year 9 Monitor, the ever-helpful Liam Filby. Mr Terry Haywood One of the highlights for Young House this year was taking out the House Swimming Championship for the first time ever. It was an unfamiliar feeling, standing around the quad the next morning giving three cheers Middle School Housemaster for the School. For me, it was a moment to remember, not because we won every race, or even had the best swimmers, but rather because we had representatives in every race. It was amazing to see everyone do their Ms Phyllis Bookluck part on the day, each contributing to our success. I must thank the Year 11s who stepped up on the day to help make sure we swam in every race. House Tutors Young House continues to support those less well-off than ourselves. We hold a ‘Kebab Day’ every term to Ed Habkouk raise funds which used go to Noe, our sponsor child in the Philippines, but now, with Noe grown up, the Justin McGrath funds are redirected to our new sponsor child, Herman. These funds assist in providing Herman with improved Norma Kamhieh education, sanitation and nutrition. I thank all those who regularly contribute, whether through the purchase Seamus Rodden of a kebab or a simple donation. The attitude of reaching out to someone who is less fortunate than we are is Tania Mason a mindset that can seem difficult to find in the modern world, and so it is great to see so many embrace this idea. Our Year 10 Charity and Community Committee representatives, Harry Driessen and Ben Newell, have also been of great assistance in communicating whole-school charity events, and we thank them for their input House Captain into Young House. House Report 2018 Tallis Coman The House is filled with a number of young men, who each bring their own unique skills and talents to the House. This year, we saw several members excel and receive honours for their achievements. Thomas Newell House Vice-Captains (12), as part of his work placement programme, was nominated to receive an award as part of the MWLP James Field Student Work Placement Awards. He went on to win the award for Hospitality, Food and Beverage, joining a Thomas Diiorio-De Domeneghi select few to receive awards out of over six-thousand candidates. In the Arts, several boys received recognition at the ‘Best of the Best Art Exhibition’ (welcome news for our incoming Housemaster, art teacher, Mr Bamford). Joshua Chu (8), Dylan Tai (9) and Calvin Lukabyo (11) all received High Distinctions for their works, with Dylan House Colour receiving two. James Park (10) must also be highly commended for receiving the honour of ‘Best Artwork in Maroon Year 9’. Young House also has budding craftsmen. Thomas Newell (12), Taylor Miller (11) and Gene Marantos (10) were all presented with ‘Craftsman of the Year’ awards. In the Gary Catalano Writing Competition, two of our boys were acknowledged for their works. Dominic Jia (11) and Jack Hartzenberg (7) received Highly Commended awards for ‘Old Man at the Bus Stop’ in the senior poetry and ‘The Haunting’ in the junior prose respectively. In another area of the arts, we saw the House represented in the Battle of the Bands, with some going exceptionally well. It was good to see some boys on stage that you wouldn’t immediately expect, and display a level of confidence worth marvelling at. In Athletics, we saw James Park (10) run exceptionally well, making the Australian Schools Knockout Championships junior team as well as represent Trinity at the All School’s Championships alongside Michael Park (8). There were many other significant achievements from the boys of Young House which would not fit in this brief summary. Traditionally, Young House’s Greek Souvlaki stand has been a great hit at the Trinity Fiesta. 2017 was no different, and it was splendid to see the turnout of both parents and boys to assist on the day. Whether it was the dads warming the pita bread on the BBQ, the mums working the cash-box, or the boys running around frantically, the House working together was instrumental to the stall’s success. I must say that the House will be in excellent hands in 2019. My congratulations go to Chris Screnci (11), our incoming House Captain. Chris is a diligent, dedicated and incredibly humble young man who will always bring out the best of Young House. He is more than ably supported by several other great men: the incoming Vice- Captains, Vir Suri (11), Tom Griffin (11) and Taylor Miller (11). I cannot finish this report without acknowledging the untiring commitment to the House shown byMr Haywood. Mr Haywood has been an integral part of Young House for the last six years. We, the Year 12 cohort, started our journey with Mr Haywood together back in 2013, his first year as Housemaster of Young. We finish together, and what an incredible journey it has been. The past six years would not have been the same without Mr Haywood—Young House would not be what it is without his unique charisma. On behalf of the entire House, we thank him and wish him all the best as he moves to spend more time with his children and grandchildren. I also wish Mr Bamford all the best as he takes the reins in his very capable hands. As examinations loom close for the Year 12s, I wish my fellow peers good luck. This is an important time for so many of us, and I feel privileged to have spent the last six years alongside them. Now, a new period begins, and I wish them all the best for the future. I feel proud to have been involved in a House that can truly boast that its members bleed the House colour. Thank you for all the support and good memories.

The Nicholson Museum stimulated great excitement, and the tour guide’s mistakes (made unknowingly in the presence of our human fact checker, Mr St. Julian) were overlooked as information regarding the displays of mummies, Egyptian brains, Spartan votive offerings, and the Dipylon Krater were absorbed by eager students.

CADETS

The 2018 Cadet year has been one of progress and change for the Trinity SENIOR AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS BEREA |CADETS Grammar School Army Cadet Unit. This year, the Unit continued to build upon the solid foundation laid by its predecessors, culminating in an enjoyable and challenging programme for the young men of the Unit. The new training year saw a host of changes implemented as part of the Unit’s strategic plan. One of those involved the rearrangement of the Unit’s structure of Companies which resulted in them containing both recruit and second-year platoons. Adjustments to the Unit’s rank structure also saw changes made to the number of Cadet Under Officers (CUOs). A decrease in the rank to cadet ratio also allowed those in positions of command to effectively develop their leadership skills. In addition to these changes—for the first time—the doors of promotion were also opened to eager recruit cadets willing to take the next step in their development journey and achieve the rank of Cadet Corporal in Year 9. The Trinity Grammar School Army Cadet Unit continued to assist with Remembrance and ANZAC Day ceremonial activities as part of our service to the wider community. 2018 represents a significant year, signifying the centenary of the signing of the Armistice (11/11/1918) that brought closure to the First World War. The TGSACU Catafalque Party performed their drill without a hitch, representing the Unit admirably both in front of the School and the general public at services held at the Preparatory, Junior and Senior School, as well as Ashfield Park, Ashfield RSL, Burwood Park, Loyalty Square in Balmain, and the Drummoyne Civic Centre. In addition to these services, TGSACU was proud to be represented at the Australian National Servicemen’s Association service and the Sandakan service in Burwood Park. The Unit also sent a contingent of Senior Cadets Officer Commanding LT (AAC) Heath De Lany to participate in the ANZAC Day march alongside the School’s marching band. Second in Command CAPT (AAC) Richard Bishop The Unit also sent a few senior rank to participate in the pre-game Training LTCOL Brett Andersen commemorations as part of the NRL ANZAC round, acting as flag bearers and escorts at the Dragons v Roosters game held at Allianz Stadium. Transport Officer MAJ (AAC) Guy Dennis The School can be proud of our numerous Catafalque Parties, comprised of Signals Officer MAJ (AAC) Tim Barden members who dedicated many hours of their own time to perfect their drill. The feedback received from parents, servicemen and women, staff, and OIC A Company LT (AAC) Brett Lammiman significant community members alike was one of overwhelming positivity OIC B Company LT (AAC) Mark Waters and appreciation. No doubt, their efforts and unfaltering commitment to the Unit and the broader community does not go unnoticed. OIC C Company 2LT (AAC) David Chilton The formation of the Information Cell presented a significant step forward OIC D Company 2LT (AAC) Marian Dunbar for the Unit in terms of community awareness of the training that occurs throughout the Cadet programme. With the purchase of some high-tech OIC D Company 2LT (AAC) Marian Dunbar videography equipment, including a gimbal and a mirrorless camera, Student Leadership Cadets Information Cell has been able to document various events and camps across the year. Using this footage, various promotional and ‘highlights Senior Cadet Unit Officer (SUO) Tallis Coman videos’ have been prepared to an exceptional editing standard.

DEBATING

Special recognition must also be awarded to Trinity’s might over SENIOR AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS CHESS |DEBATING Newington in the A.J. Rae Shield round, winning nine from eleven debates. Successful teams on the night included the 7A, 7B, 8A, 9A, 9B, 10A, 10B, Senior C, and the Senior A teams.

After the successes of the FED and ISDA season came the much anticipated CAS season. If we could go back to 2004, many of the younger debaters would not yet be born, Mr St Julian would still be in his twenties (yes, he’s not as old as we think!), and Mr Ikeuchi would be the School Captain of Trinity Grammar. Yet, what I stressed to the boys of the Debating Society, was that 2004 was the last time we won the CAS Debating Championship. In studying the 2004 Triangle, the year in Debating was described quite boastfully by the then Debating Captain to have “achieved more success than any other year in its extensive history.” And thus, as we saw the first Incredibles movie in 2004, and the sequel in 2018, we sought to drive the sequel to Trinity’s winning ways in 2004 to 2018. Despite the build-up, it was not to be. Trinity finished fourth in the CAS competition having won twenty-two debates, while special mention must go to the 3rd III, consisting of Sam Gorman, Aidan Tharmarajah and Nick Bouletos who were unofficial premiers of their competition. 2018 in CAS Debating, will go down in Trinity history as the year that got away.

Nevertheless, despite the ‘ups’ and ‘downs,’ Debating this year has been paramount to the development of several skills for all those involved. Summed up perfectly by a quote from human rights activist, Desmond Tutu; “Don’t raise your voice, improve your argument,” Debating has been instrumental in teaching boys to discuss and communicate in an orderly, sensible, but critical manner. As well as this, the opportunity to speak regularly, and in front of reasonable crowds (on some rare MIC Mr James St Julian occasions, more than ten people!), allows debaters to practice the art of Captain Nicholas Pavic (12La) eloquence and develop their public speaking ability. This, in conjunction, Vice-Captain Alexander Maloof (12Hi) with the numerous benefits posed by the opportunity for teamwork and collaboration, makes Debating not only an enjoyable activity, but a very Vice-Captain Piers Connolly (12Ar) worthwhile one as well.

Well, with the year ended, I have been prompted to reflect upon my time in the Debating Society over the last six years. Without a doubt, The year of 2018 in Debating undeniably saw some phenomenal successes, I will reminisce on the many Maccas runs, exciting (but sometimes the formation of numerous new memories and friends, as well as the unproductive!) prep rooms, and the narrow debates that somehow opportunity to improve public speaking and critical thinking skills for all we seemed to win. In particular, it has been an honour to form some those willing to sacrifice their Friday nights. Of course along the way, very personal relationships with younger boys over this past year. The challenges and demoralising lows presented themselves to the Debating success of the ‘Debating Pizza Day’ to reinvigorate Debating pride and Society, however these only provided an additional avenue for continued culture, coupled with the opportunity to see the younger age groups growth and development in the field of Debating. From this, both the intermingling, is something I will always remember with great nostalgia. highs and lows of the past year have culminated in the success of the Whilst I will not be longing for the two (sometimes three!) hour bus rides Debating Society in Friday Evening Debating (FED) and the Independent to Knox or Barker, nor the painful feeling of losing, I will deeply miss this Schools Debating Association (ISDA) competitions.

Whether they reach these outstanding year, provided a greater challenge for debaters to construct arguments heights or simply just engage in regular enjoyable debate, I have full under time pressure. Despite the success of multiple teams throughout the confidence and trust in the young debaters to carry this Debating Society season, special mention must go to the 7A FED team, consisting of James forward into the unknown future. I wish you the greatest luck! Moore (7Ta), William Taplin (7WH), Sam Newton (7WJ) and Trenton La (7La), who won the competition in the Year 7 age group.

MIC Mr Joseph Vaccarella

Chemical analysis and monitoring of all tanks and the pond has continued this year. Successful plant propagation of native species has meant that many specimens have been sent to Woollamia - southern campus for planting and a new batch of Pigface, Carpobrotus glaucescens and Dianella species is nearing time for transport and planting. New propagation lights have been purchased and will be installed over our heated propagation trays to maximise cutting survival rates. The labs have a myriad of insects that are being cared for in environmental enclosures. These include Giant Burrowing Cockroaches, Giant Millipedes, Goliath Stick Insects and other species of stick insects. The collection is growing with hundreds of eggs that have been laid over the past few months.

This year we are also branching off into the recycling of bottles to raise money for research into Batten Disease. Students collect and bag these bottles which are taken to recycling depots in exchange for monies. We are also committing time to composting and two large barrel composters have been purchased and commissioned. This will ensure that some of the wastes from the cafeteria and grass clippings can be converted into nutrients which are returned to the soil around the school grounds. Once again students from the Co-curricular will take part in the Backyard Bird Count which is a national project that is used to survey bird species around Australia. “The Earth is what we all have in common.” Wendell Berry

The group meets for two lunchtimes each week to build useful tackle items and discuss strategies for successful fishing around Sydney. The twenty students in the Trinity Fishing Club have enjoyed a range of practical activities including fashioning a range of floats for species such as Luderick and Mullet, and using moulds to manufacture a range of different sinkers. But the biggest task is rod construction. This involves a fine degree of skill which is a real challenge for some members. The job involves using glues, resins and a large amount of binding work with colourful cottons. Most boys manage to finish this major project in less than two terms but some require a great deal of assistance from fellow members or staff.

“It’s a lot of work, but good fun”; “I’ve really enjoyed Mock Trial and learned how the legal system works”; “It was hard learning the witness statement, but I enjoyed being cross examined”.

These were some of the comments from our outgoing Mock Trial team (all soon to be Year 12 students). Trinity had another successful year of competition, with our team, once again, coming tantalising close to proceeding to the final rounds. A close loss to Rosebank College (224/222), followed by a great victory over Newtown High (213/203), presented the prospect of progressing from the pool stage. Our students threw themselves into preparation for the final trial, with everyone confident of a pyrrhic victory until…disaster! On the eve of the trial, one of our Barristers withdrew, leaving us no alternative but to forfeit.

On a personal note, this will be my last Mock Trial report, as I am retiring at the end of 2018. I have enjoyed helping students acquire new skills, and watching them extend themselves. I would like to especially thank Mr Bill Pratt for joining me as co-coach this year and wish him and the new team every success in the 2019 competition.

Special commendation must go to Leon Liang’s (12La) original composition, Adagio, which was fittingly presented by the Academy Orchestra. Eagerly anticipated was the Trinity Senior Choir who performed renditions of Bruckner’s Locus Iste, John Tavener’s The Lamb, and Ave Verum Corpus by William Byrd. The penultimate item to the concert was Trinity’s most prominent ensemble, the Symphony Orchestra, who presented the profound 4th Movement of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, which was followed by an ominous rendition of Tchaikovsky’s Marche Slave. Concluding the concert in style, the Symphony Orchestra played alongside the Combined Senior and Primary Choir in a spectacular performance of ‘O Fortuna’ from Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. Special mention must go to all boys who featured as soloists throughout the night.

Trinity's Academy of Music is of the highest calibre and showcases some of Trinity's finest musical talent. These extraordinary skills and talents for music are nurtured and refined in the Academy Orchestra and its many smaller chamber ensembles such as the Serenata String Ensemble, the elite Sinfonietta Strings, Braga String Quartet, Piano trio and many more. All of these groups have had various performances throughout the year, including the Gala Concert, Creative Arts Festival, Head Master's Soiree and Speech Day.

One of the highlights of this year was the Pirates of Penzance play, where all the Academy members accompanied the actors in their performance. This was led by Mr Phil Pratt, and I would like to recognise his endless dedication and enthusiasm as well as that of the Music staff. Without them, the outstanding quality of music at Trinity could not excel, and the academy would not have been able to reach the standard which they have reached. No doubt Trinity's Academy and chamber groups left a significant impression on our audiences. It’s certainly been a pleasure to perform in all of these magnificent events. We were able to further develop confidence in performing as a group and strengthen friendships across Year 7 to Year 12.

A little closer to home, 2018 was once again a highlight for the Piano Trio and Trinity's Braga String Quartet, both excelling in the Sydney Eisteddfod with first and highly commended placings. This not only demonstrates the continued commitment of the ensembles over the past few years, but also the growing depth and scope of the programme.

The Cello Ensemble is a group producing high-standard performances under the direction and guidance of Mrs Palmer. With her expertise, the ensemble has developed into a highly polished team, allowing a continuous improvement in the quality of the performances. It has been exciting to watch each member grow individually and mature in an ensemble setting. Not only has the ensemble improved the individual technical skills of each member but it has allowed the development of musicality and teamwork between members. Daniel Chu (11Ke) has demonstrated advanced technique and a sense of musicality beyond his years. It is pleasing to see the younger members, namely Andrew Tanous (8Du), Brendan Chew (9Ke) and Justin Lin (10La) working hard to support the group in their own way. Of course, none of this would have been possible if it had not been for Mrs Palmer, to whom I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the time and effort she has dedicated towards the ensemble. Over the past few years, it has been truly rewarding observing the group grow and develop while being a part of it. Motived by this year’s successes at various concerts, the group will now be looking forward to the exciting challenges that are sure to emerge in 2019. It will be exciting to see how the group will progress under the Daniel Chu’s leadership.

With the Michaelmas term completed, the Lent term for 2018 saw the choir shift its focus to preparations for the Easter chapel service, held at St Andrew’s Cathedral. There we sang negro spirituals as well as “The Lamb.”

2018 also saw numerous changes to the traditional Trinity Grammar School Gala Concert, the most obvious being the change of venue from Angel Place City Recital Hall to The Concourse, Chatswood. The highlight of the night was the opportunity to sing (or shout!) Carima Burana’s “O Fortuna” with the orchestral accompaniment alongside.

THE SYDNEY EISTEDDFOD COMPETITION The main annual competition in Trinity’s Music department is the Sydney Eisteddfod, which took place in Terms 2 and 3 this year. On the 26th of May, Trinity’s two elite string ensembles competed in the Sydney Eisteddfod’s Premium String Ensemble division, held in the Chatswood Concourse Hall. The Middle Schools’ Serenata Strings received third prize, and the Senior School’s Sinfonietta took home the trophy for first prize yet again! These achievements are particularly outstanding considering Trinity was up against groups from schools such as Knox Grammar, MLC, Barker and Meriden.

121 MUSIC | SERENATA STRINGS SINFONIETTA

As we approach the end of this academic year, it is astonishing to see how much our ensemble, the elite Middle School string orchestra, Serenata Strings, has accomplished. Although we lost many valuable players at the beginning of year as they made their way into the Senior School, new members learnt to adapt to the dynamic of our ensemble as we progressed into the year. During the first term of the year, we performed in the annual Middle School Music concert, in preparation for the 2018 Sydney Eisteddfod, an event which we compete in every year. We performed ‘Pavane’ by Gabriel Fauré and the 1st movement of Antonio Vivaldi’s ‘Concerto for Two Cellos’. The Eisteddfod was our chance to display the endless hours of hard work that had been done during many rehearsals. We placed third in this competition which was quite a feat considering the young ages of the members of our group and the fact we were competing against groups much older than us. We certainly could not have risen to SERENATA STRINGS such a high standard of playing without the help and guidance of Ms Morgan, who demonstrated Back Row George Dedousis, Edmund Baker, John Dedousis to us what it means to be a true musician, and First Row Duncan Feng, Toby Biernoff-Giles, Leo Tarbox, Asher Tarbox, Eric Tsai, Julian Chin to play in the style and context of the piece.

The pinnacle of the year for Sinfonietta saw them achieve first place in the Sydney Eisteddfod Senior School String Ensemble Section with a spectacular rendition of three movements from Shostakovich’s ‘Chamber Symphony’. This amazing work was then played at the prestigious Trinity Gala Concert. The overall growth and development of each player’s musicality was reflected in the technically demanding performance. One year ago, the ambition to play such complicated repertoire would have simply been hypothetical, however the unending desire for each individual in this ensemble to grow as a musician was integral to the ensemble being able to play such a challenging repertoire. Over the course of such a successful year, Ms Kate Morgan has continued to impart her guidance and leadership as well as her understanding of the stylistic skills and invaluable technique related to ensemble cohesion. I can safely speak on behalf SINFONIETTA of my fellow peers that this group of sixteen boys has grown together, learning about themselves Back Row Samuel Xu, Charlie Griffith, Harry Driessen, Dylan Lin and each other.

The 2018 cohort of Peer Support leaders have continued a fine tradition of nurturing and caring for our new Year 7 boys in their transition from primary to secondary school. They have developed practical leadership experience in a variety of situations and have been an integral part of each Year 7 Tutor group. The Peer Support programme aims to foster the physical, mental and social well being of the Year 7 students by helping them understand their new environment, feel comfortable, make new friends and build a strong sense of belonging to their new School community. Key concepts developed in the programme include orientation around the School, the building of relationships and a sense of self, anti-bullying, citizenship, optimism and resilience. The responsibilities of the Year 11 Peer Support leaders include weekly training sessions, presentation of the programme to Year 7 Tutor groups, attendance and active participation in the Year 7 Peer Support camp at Myuna Bay during Service Week in Term 1, coordination of the Year 7 Touch Football competition, monitoring student well being and ongoing general support throughout the year. The Peer Support leaders gain immense benefits from this leadership experience such as the development of friendships as well as a good rapport with the younger boys in their houses. The training and experiences also provides opportunities for personal development, such as organisational and interpersonal skills. It has been a pleasure to work with this fine group of young men, and I know that their leadership and service has been greatly appreciated by our current Year 7 cohort.

Sports Experience continued to be a popular co-curricular activity for boys in Years 10-12, giving men of the Senior School a chance to interact with each other in a friendly and convivial environment. Each Friday afternoon, a group of roughly thirty boys experienced a wide range of sports including: Futsal, Ultimate Frisbee, Table Tennis, Basketball, and Squash. We were also able to mount a number of excursions this year, going rock climbing and ten pin bowling. Whilst the activities are meant to be more social than competitive, the boys invariably want to place their mark on the games being played.

MIC Mr Dan Tkacz

The Technology Club operates on Wednesday afternoon and caters for Year 11 and 12 students who have chosen electives in the Technological and Applied Studies subject areas. These boys are seeking to expand and refine their skills across all disciplines associated with Technology, greatly assisting in the production of all work including HSC Major Design Projects.

2018 seemed to progress in the usual manner for the HSC students who were keen to utilise the opportunity the Technology Club provides throughout the year. Students such as Thomas Newall (Yo), Nathan Rohr (Ho) and Aiden Yeomens (He) continually chipped away at their projects until the final submission date. As always, all of the students successfully got over the line, and I do believe that Mr Michael Spratt and other Year 12 teachers will have certainly been popping open the champagne at the end of this year in celebration of another great success.

The current Year 11 students were also very enthusiastic in making inroads on their projects in 2018. Both Mark Repaci (11St) and Jasper Ethan Hansford (12He) Cheung (11He) have equally displayed a focus towards their projects that will only benefit them as they embark on their HSC in 2019.

All students worked extremely hard to complete successful projects for 2018. Many hours of commitment, both in and outside of class time, coupled with the Technology Club, enabled students to meet important deadlines. All involved should be congratulated on their efforts, in particular Mr David Davies and Mr Robert Angeloni who continue to assist everyone in the Technology Club to make it a real success. I look forward to seeing more creativity, productivity and enthusiasm as we end 2018 and move forward into our Technology driven future.

Meeting every Wednesday, the group attempts to put those various practices learned in Science classes to good use, namely good laboratory technique in pursuit of personal investigations. This year, we have looked to the past for our inspiration. At first we looked at indigenous science, and different groups investigated such things as Aboriginal astronomy, use of materials, cooking and medicine. Then we jumped forward to the time of the ancient world, where students had to replicate science from Ancient Rome, Greece or China. These investigations were especially pleasing, with metals being extracted from their ores, indicators and oils from plants, and models of Stonehenge being constructed. The year finished with a bridge building challenge, using only pages from a telephone directory and sticky tape. (The winning design was able to hold over sixty times its own weight, a great result). But things don’t always go as expected, with the occasional explosion bringing an element of surprise to the day. But progress is made, and must be made through these things that do not quite go to plan. That is one of the major aims of the Science Club, since explaining the reasons why something doesn’t work is just as, or even more, valuable an exercise. It has also been encouraging how all age groups work together in the club, sharing their love of Science and developing friendly rivalries. It has been a great year for the group, and if enthusiasm is any guide, the future prospects for Science Club are bright.

‘BEST OF THE BEST’ ART EXHIBITION 7-11. WEEK 2 TERM 4, OCTOBER 2017

On a Thursday evening, hundreds of Art students and parents gathered in The Delmar Gallery to attend the opening of the eagerly anticipated Year 7-11 Art exhibition. The best artworks from each year were exhibited and Prizes and High Distinction Certificates were awarded to outstanding artworks that were created over the last academic year

We had two special guests attend the opening. It was a great pleasure to have Theresa Ardler (from the Shoalhaven district) give a Welcome to Country and speak about the outstanding artwork created by Year 8 students in their Indigenous Art Unit. The work relied on information shared by the Elders of the Shoalhaven community and Theresa was overjoyed to see the magnificent works created that responded to the land in such a complete manner. Secondly we had Mr David Hogan (‘64) and his wife Jan attend and present a beautiful book to accompany the prize to the student who won best work in the Senior School. David spoke about the importance of imagination and to continue to dream and not be consumed or distracted by technical devices and lose focus on what you want to achieve.

Congratulations to the winners in each category –

Trinity is steadfast in its view that sport is an important and vital part of a wholistic boys’ education. The support provided makes this a reality.

Another blow to the with little success if you look purely at the table of the Independent Golf team was dealt when Tyler left for the Field Studies Camp which meant Series at season’s end.

These men are true in the 17 Years 50m Breaststroke (30.75). professionals and Trinity Swimming hopes to have many, many more years of service from these dedicated men. As a result of winning the Australian 16 Years 100m Freestyle at the National Age Championships, Angus McDonald was selected to represent Anna Giuliani | MIC Swimming Australia at the Junior Pan Pacific Championships which were held in Suva, Fiji. He raced against the best swimmers from countries such as the USA, Canada, Japan and New Zealand and went all out to contest the 50m, 100m and 200m Freestyle events. He was a member of the 4 x 100m Freestyle relay team which won silver, and he was selected as one of the team captains which was a great experience for him.

Over the course of the season, we have been very well supported by a core group of dedicated parents who have kindly given up their time, not only dropping off their sons for training, but also cooking delicious breakfasts every Wednesday morning. These breakfasts have really benefited the squad. They enhance the morale of the team as well as provide captains, coaches and other swimming staff the opportunity to remain connected with the boys and determine how well they are meeting all of their demands, both in and out of the pool.

It is clear to see that our Trinity swimmers have truly had another great season. On behalf of the team, I’d like to sincerely thank our ‘new’ Head Master Mr Tim Bowden, the School Council and the entire School community for giving us such wholehearted support over the past year. A number of supportive staff have given up their time and expertise to encourage and care for the members of this close-knit squad. The constant backing of Mr Lachlan White and Mr Mitch Kearsley has been invaluable, and their willingness to lend a helping hand, if and when it was required, has meant so much to the team.

Max Nguyen (8Yo) managed to defeat Kevin Lin (9Sc) in a marathon final at Haberfield, to win the Middle School Championship. Kevin Lin and Jim Gong (9Ar) played beautifully together to triumph in the Middle School doubles final. The Senior School event was much more predictable, with James McCabe prevailing to win both the Singles and Doubles component of the competition. James paired with Jordan Chen (12We) in the doubles. Winter season The big news in the winter season was the introduction of a new CAS competition format. The new format, adopted on a trial basis, was designed to increase participation in the winter competition and ensure adequate representation and matches over the season. For the first time ever, teams where selected on ability as opposed to age. After a two week grading period the competition commenced with five weeks of Singles competition and concluded with three weeks of Doubles match play. Whilst the format was not perfect, there were many positives to come out of the experience. One benefit was that every single student’s results contributed directly towards the overall Premiership. This gave us an extremely accurate indication of the overall strength of the various schools involved and hopefully allowed every student to feel that their contribution was valued. I would like to commend all students and staff for embracing the new format so open- mindedly and enthusiastically despite some minor teething problems. In terms of results, it was pleasing to note that Trinity finished in second place to Knox Grammar. We were able to jump from third to second position on the back of our excellent doubles performance at the end of the season. Nathan Xie (9St) must be commended for being the only Trinity student to win a Singles Division (Division 16). There were multiple Double Divisions winners including Division 5, Justin Sleiman (11Ta) and Lachlan Sleiman (11Ta); Division 9, Martin Wong (8Ta) and Matthew Nicolas (8Ke); Division 11, Daniel Tran (9Ta) and Nikhil Kapoor (9Yo); Division 12, George Nicholas (7Wj) and Alex Runciman (7Yo); Division 16, Jayden Higgins (7He) and Michael Assaf (7St).

199 PREPARATORY SCHOOL PRIZE GIVING ADDRESS Chris Wyatt | Master of the Preparatory School

men in mind, body and spirit. This year we have continued this discussion with the students. We have encouraged them to be deliberate in setting themselves learning and character development goals through the new Learner Profile Wheel. It has been great to hear the students share their drive to become more caring, balanced, knowledgeable, open-minded, principled, reflective, and to grow as inquirers, risk-takers, communicators and thinkers. This process has been supported through the use of evidence...tangible examples of growth from the boys’ actions, their interactions with others, and through their school work. When the young men of the Prep School look into the mirror today they are not only seeing the physical changes that have occurred throughout the year, they are also seeing changes in their character, attitude, approach to learning, and resilience. This growth has occurred through their honest reflection, commitment, and hard work to grow in all aspects of their lives. One of the challenges for the adults in our community is noticing this growth. It is easy to compare two pieces of writing or look at the difference in complexity of mathematics tasks, however, it is important that we also take the opportunity to celebrate and appreciate growth in character. This year I have seen and experienced this first hand. Congratulations and well done boys! My hope is your drive for personal growth, development, and excellence in all areas of learning and life have become second nature. One of the focuses over the last year has been the students’ wellbeing. This year we have implemented the Prep Wellbeing survey, a self assessment tool designed to provide more individualised data about the boys’ perceptions of their own anxiety, resilience, and growth mindset levels. At a Parent Information Session earlier in the year, I shared some of Professor Lea Waters’ research that highlights the fact that people with positive wellbeing experience eleven percent greater cognitive functioning. As we have engaged with the wellbeing data and compared it to other academic data about our students, we have certainly seen evidence of this correlation. Whilst we continue to focus heavily on our Chairman of Council and Mrs Pegg, Head Master and Mrs Bowden, academic programmes and a shared desire for achievement and excellence in Members of School Council, ladies and gentlemen, staff and most this area, we are increasingly aware of the importance of ensuring wellbeing importantly, boys of the Preparatory School. development goes hand in hand. This holistic approach is central to many of the discussions taking place more widely about the future of education. The As I sat at my desk to compose this summary of the year it feels a recently published Gonski Review highlights the importance of students being little like looking at a mirror. Whilst looking at a mirror can be a little and becoming confident individuals, active and informed citizens, and successful scary, particularly for those of us getting older, it is also a reflective learners possessing skills in problem-solving, social skills, and critical and creative process that reminds you of the current reality, provides the chance thinking (Gonski, 2018). This balance remains at the forefront of our planning to celebrate growth and change, and points to the future that moving into 2019. lies ahead. This analogy also seems well suited to Speech Day as we pause to reflect on the year that has been, the achievements, Each year I take the opportunity to highlight some of the stand-out achievements, challenges and the growth that has occurred throughout the year. and it is right to do so, however, this year, in the spirit of balance, I have Most notably it is a time to celebrate and be appreciative. interspersed them with some character and learning achievements to highlight the holistic nature of a Trinity education...boys growing in mind, body and spirit.

205 PREPARATORY SCHOOL CAPTAIN’S REPORT

One highlight was the Primary Arts Festival where boys were able to showcase their artistic talents and musical abilities. The Preparatory School Art Exhibition was an opportunity for the Trinity community to view the artworks created by all the boys in Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6. There were a great number of concerts and musical performances, with one of the most memorable being the Evening of Music, which was part of the Primary Arts Festival. This featured pieces from the Concert Band, Chamber Orchestra, songs from the Trinity Singers, with everyone from Years 3 to 6 singing two songs, and many other groups and soloists showcasing the musical talents of the boys. The Concert Band was also able to perform as part of Friday Night Fever, while the Trinity Singers collaborated with the high school’s Combined Chapel Choir, Symphony Orchestra, and the Junior School Choir to perform a variety of pieces for the Gala Concert. All the boys from the Preparatory School were very fortunate to listen to the Musica Viva presentation performed by the Teranga group from West Africa who combined percussion with meaningful storytelling. An academic highlight for Year 6 was the PYP Exhibition, an eight week learning journey where groups explored a variety of issues. All of us worked very hard and learnt an incredible amount of information so that we could share our knowledge with the rest of the School. Thank you to Mr Wyatt, Mrs Hitz-Morton, the Year 6 teachers, and especially all the Mentors who gave up their free time to help guide us through our inquiries.

As we learned about Stuart Smith | Preparatory School Chaplain the attributes of the learner profile in class, we explored how these same attributes are prevalent throughout the Bible. While we studied the lives of famous people such as Moses, Abraham, David, Daniel, and Jesus, the boys were encouraged to identify the attributes in these people and how we can grow in the way we apply this understanding in our own lives today.

There are many strong, famous women present within the pages of scripture. Term 3 allowed us the opportunity to investigate how various women have been shining lights and the inspiration to those around them and to countless others over the centuries. We saw the prayerfulness of Hannah, the faith of Rahab, the courage of Miriam and Deborah, the faithfulness of Ruth, and the wisdom of Esther. We rejoiced in the lives of Mary, Jesus’ mother, as well as Martha, Mary, and Elizabeth whose faithfulness in the Lord continues to inspire so many.

This year we added over 1,500 resources to our collection. Many of the books we added were specific requests from staff and students. We expanded our e-audiobook collection and put work into its promotion. We loaned out 2,140 books to our 149 parent borrowers and loaned out an average of forty-three books for every student, and eighty-four books per student for our most active class! After two weeks of school holidays, our favourite comments from boys were most often, “I missed the Library!” We truly are a community of readers!

209 PREPARATORY SCHOOL MILVERTON EARLY CHILDHOOD

Pre-Kindergarten Loris Malaguzzi would certainly be proud of the Preparatory School Pre-Kindergarten 2018 learning environments. This year, every corner of the indoor and outdoor space provided abundant opportunities for exploration of ‘The Hundred Languages’. Mr Malaguzzi, the founder of the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood, views our youngest learners as active, capable, and valuable members of any community. Crucial to his philosophy is the belief that play and learning are not separated. Children express their understanding of the things they learn through their play and creative modes of expression, i.e. language, dancing, singing, drawing, painting, sculpting, pretend play or modelling, and music. In the Reggio Emilia approach this is called the “100 Languages of Children”. Through the use of ‘The Hundred Languages’, our youngest Trinitarians engaged in a wide range of learning opportunities in 2018. Their inquiries into the Primary Years Programme (PYP) Transdisciplinary Themes of Who We Are, How We Express Ourselves, How the World Works and Sharing the Planet, led to a number of discoveries. A range of cultural stories were shared with the boys by our PK parent community members, scientific discoveries led to new wonderings, a tiny lamb became a resident inour cubby house, two outdoor kitchens were installed in our playground, mini master chefs prepared delicious dishes while utilising fresh ingredients from our ever growing vegetable garden, dancing, drama, and storytelling inspired many of the boys to become performers in costume, and mini mathematicians solved daily problematised situations, to name just a few of this year’s highlights. In developing a sense of community, the tiny Trinitarians established beginning relationships with their Preparatory School peers, teachers and wider Trinity Community Members. The boys enjoyed both participation and contribution to the following Preparatory School events this year; weekly Chapel services, the ANZAC Day Assembly, the Book Week Parade, the Arts Exhibition, the Athletics Carnival, Grandparents Day, and the Trinity Fiesta. What a privilege it has been to facilitate the growth of the 2018 Pre-Kindergarten boys in developing their minds, bodies and spirits. Thank you to the dedicated and committed Pre-Kindergarten team for their commitment to ensuring that the 2018 school year has been filled with quality teaching and learning experiences for our curious, motivated, and energised Pre-Kindergarten boys. We certainly did lay the foundation for our youngest Trinitarians to be active inquirers and lifelong learners. Kirsti Hitz-Morton | Director of Early Learning and Primary Curriculum TRINITY GRAMMAR SCHOOL | THE TRIANGLE 2018 THE | GRAMMAR SCHOOL TRINITY 210 Infants Throughout the year, the Kindergarten boys were provided with many opportunities to continue to develop their skills of inquiry and become familiar with the language of the Primary Years Programme. Highlights from 2018 include the Kindergarten boys inquiring into the natural resources that are necessary for the survival of living things as part of their Unit of Inquiry, Sharing the Planet. Boys were challenged with the very important task of keeping their own plant alive. Whilst at times this was tricky, it was pleasing to observe boys co-operate with each other and apply their knowledge of natural resources to decide what the plant needed in order to thrive. During the Unit of Inquiry, How We Express Ourselves, boys were challenged to use their imagination and think creatively. They inquired into how thinking creatively can influence others through the expression of different perspectives. Boys explored what it was like to see the world from a different perspective using specially made perspective glasses. They showed off their acting skills as they retold and performed traditional tales in class stages and puppet theatres built and designed by themselves. It was wonderful to see the boys PREPARATORY SCHOOL MILVERTON EARLY CHILDHOOD engage with such enthusiasm, excitement, and confidence. During the year, Kindergarten enjoyed getting to know their Year 6 buddy. They have worked together and participated in a variety of activities including the Book Week parade, Walk- a-Thon, and simultaneous story time activities. The Year 1 boys put on their lab coats, safety goggles and hard hats while delving into their Unit of Inquiry, How the World Works. With their clipboards at the ready, boys used the scientific method to question, hypothesise, experiment, and analyse the structural design of constructions in our environment. It was fantastic to see the boys apply their newly acquired knowledge when creating their own structures through the conceptual lenses of form, reflection, and causation. In the first semester, Year 2 used their imagination (anda green screen) to travel back in time as part of their inquiry Where We Are in Place and Time. Boys considered the impact of history and how it shapes the identity of a community. They carefully examined primary and secondary sources while immersing themselves in the experiences and resources available to communities over a century ago. Boys thoroughly enjoyed investigating artefacts from their own personal history and sharing their preserved treasures with their peers. The opportunities continued beyond our classrooms as the boys benefitted from a myriad of school-wide events. All the boys chose, prepared, and presented a poem to their class as part of the Preparatory School‘s Poetry Recitation Competition. Each class chose a speaker to recite in PK-2 Chapel where they impressed us all with their confidence and oral presentation skills. And the boys in Infants have shown their empathy for others by joining in whole-heartedly with charitable giving on Harmony Day, Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal, and supporting the Trinity Trade Fair. Book week is always a highly anticipated and exciting event, with our younger boys enjoying a week of special activities. Infants classes were treated to a visit from Captain Read Aloud and authors Kate and Joel Temple. The week finished off strongly with a fabulous book parade. Its was great to see so many creative costumes. We also welcomed grandparents to Chapel and our classrooms. The boys were so proud to share their learning and enjoy morning tea with their grandparents. We are very grateful for having such a supportive community to help our boys accomplish so much this year. Jessica Olliek and Hilary Cardiff | Kindergarten and Stage One Leaders

211 PREPARATORY SCHOOL ARCHER HOUSE

In 2018, Archer House demonstrated commitment and teamwork during all carnivals and house events. The House Captains, William Chang and Aaron Ha must be applauded for their efforts throughout the year. From their participation and support at carnivals, organisation and involvement with fundraising, and planning and preparation of house Chapel services, both William and Aaron must be acknowledged for their hard work and leadership.

The boys in Archer House demonstrated enthusiasm and team spirit during each carnival this year. It was always encouraging to see Archer boys supporting one another. All of the boys participated in numerous events throughout year and never hesitated when called upon to help out their House in the sporting or school environment.

2018 saw the continuation of the House Chapel services which allowed the boys the opportunity to spend time with their house mates and experience a range of different activities. These activities included musical recitals, drama performances, Bible readings, prayers, discussions and reflection. A special mention must be given to all the boys who organised and participated in Archer House Chapel services this year.

Housemaster In the house carnivals in 2018, Archer House finished third in the Swimming carnival, fourth in the Athletics Mr Scott Merrick carnival, and third in the Cross Country carnival. These results were encouraging for Archer House and hopefully the many pleasing performances in 2018 mean the chances of success in the future will continue to increase.

House Captain There were some outstanding individual performances and personal achievements in the sporting arena for William Chang the Archer boys in 2018. Some of the highlights included Jaemin Yoo, Under 9s Swimming champion; Jaiden Sivapirabu, representing the Prep, IPSHA and NSW CIS Under 10s Swimming teams; Oliver Peric, Under 11s Cross Country Champion; and Dominic Peric, Captain of Football for 2018. House Vice-Captain Aaron Ha One of the most encouraging moments for 2018 was the Archer boys raising over $800 for the Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal. Led by the house Captains, the Archer boys promoted and supported this event which ensured all students at the Preparatory School were able to participate in organised activities and raise funds for House Colour this worthy cause. Red In 2019, Archer House will continue to maintain a high level of involvement in all aspects of house competitions and School events, whilst aiming to demonstrate behaviours and attitudes which reflect a proud and competitive House.

School House has had a joyous and successful year in 2018. We were fortunate to be led by our House Captains, Benjamin Chau (6) and Andrew Stone (6). Both boys set an exceptional standard in behaviour and leadership. They must be commended for their dedication throughout the year. Four members of our House were named as Captains of sport for the Preparatory School: Hayden Hoang (6) as Captain of Swimming, Manav Rindani (6) as Captain of Cricket, Zachariah Alshehabi (6) as Captain of Basketball, and Edward Simonds (6) as Captain of Softball. Congratulations on this achievement, boys. The level of participation of all boys from School House was outstanding. The spirit within the House was commendably demonstrated through good behaviour and citizenship. Through our School House Chapel services, we were able to build unity and camaraderie that was also evident in the carnivals throughout the year. Thank you to all of the Year 6 boys who were involved with helping to run and prepare for these House Chapel services. Most pleasing however, was the way School House managed to organise the second annual ‘Day Without Speech’ to support the worthwhile charity, OIC in Cambodia. We were able to raise valuable funds to provide speech therapists and supplies to children and schools in Cambodia. School House dominated the Swimming carnival by placing first amongst the houses, and having three boys named as Swimming Age Champions.

By far the best way to improve at Chess is by playing. Chess is a sport, just a mental one. When we want to improve at Tennis we play Tennis, when we want to improve at Football we play Football, so it is only logical that if we want to improve at Chess we play Chess! Prep boys have enthusiastically embraced this idea. During 2018, over eighty-two boys from Years 2 to 6 have been actively involved in playing Chess, either as part of the Prep’s Co-curricular programme, or as a member of one our competition teams. Three teams were entered in the NSW Junior Chess League School Competition. Our more experienced Trinity A Team, consisting of Chess Captain, Lucas Woo (6M), Jeffrey Huang (6M), Lachlan Richards (6O), and Lachlan Dai (6M), put in a strong performance to finish second in Division 1 of the Strathfield Zone competition. The Trinity B Team played for the first time in Division 1 and found it a challenging but worthwhile experience. Congratulations to the members of the team, Aveer Shah (5S), Finn Canadas (4L), Priyann Thanujan (5S) and Ashvin Nagaratnam (4L), whose games have benefited from their willingness to take some risks. The Trinity C Team, consisting of Jaidan Sivapirabu (4B), Anay Shah (5A), Dean Constantinou (4L) and Steven Lee (4B), also put in a solid performance to finish third in Division 2 of the Strathfield Zone. Having a fundamental understanding of the game makes the acquisition of more advanced ideas and concepts much easier, and our boys have benefited from the expertise our visiting coaches share with them. They have been instrumental in introducing concepts such as openings, middle and end games, as well as the importance of being able to analyse your game. All of this is done in a supportive environment with the aim of building skills and a love of the game. Chess is silent music, geometric ballet, it is, as Marcel Duchamp put it ‘beauty made with heads and hands’. (Marcel Duchamp in Truman Capote A Capote Reader, (London: Penguin, 1993), 553). Thank you to both the boys and parents who make up the Prep Chess community. With your support and participation, Chess at the Preparatory School continues to grow and thrive.

In 2018, Visual Arts at the Preparatory School has been extremely exciting, offering highly enriching and creative learning experiences for the boys. A large amount of the Art programme has been closely linked to the classroom PYP units of inquiry, and the boys have worked incredibly well with a range of concept based Art activities. The standard of work is a testament to the students’ ongoing commitment and passion towards the Visual Arts and their personal growth.

The Primary Visual Arts (PK-Year 6) Exhibition was held in the Llandilo corridors and Somerset Garden and was once again a highlight of the school calendar. This year, Art and Music collaborated for the Festival. Boys designed and made masks for the African themed musical performance and a select group of students played the piano whilst visitors walked through the exhibition. Students, teachers, and the wider community were able to view the exhibition and get a taste of the wonderful works that the boys have been producing. Works displayed included painting, drawing, ceramics, and mixed-media. A key focus for this exhibition was displaying and making transparent the process involved in creating artworks. Cathy Guerzoni, our Art aide, did a tremendous job assisting with the installation of the Art show as well as day to day jobs in the Art room.

This year Mrs Shatter and Miss Levee have had the opportunity to collaboratively teach the Art programme. Year 2 was taught by both Art teachers, and these units were filled with new art making activities. Year 3 worked alongside Mr Dangoor to create buildings within the ‘How The World Works’ UOI using 3D Doodle Pens. Year 5 engaged in lino cutting for the first time, and students learnt this challenging process and managed new tools responsibly.

2018 has been another exciting year for Basketball with record numbers of students participating in our Preparatory School teams. Our eight senior teams have continued to show their competitive spirit and great sportsmanship, while our three junior teams have had their first experiences in competitive sport. As well as these competitive teams, we had a skills- based squad that played games internally, refining their skills and having a great time doing it. All coaches worked with the boys on developing their overall skills, focusing on strategy, teamwork and standards on and off the court. It was a pleasure watching the players bond as a team as they supported and encouraged each other. All teams can be proud knowing that their basketball skills have improved significantly during the year. This has led to impressive wins for many teams.

Significantly, this year some of our players have taken on greater responsibility and leadership in the pre-game warm ups, match reports, and encouragement of their teammates. I commend them for taking on these roles. Zachariah Alshehabi (6Sc) has also led from the front in his role as Captain of Basketball.

I would like to thank all the players for their commitment, co-operation and perseverance over the season. Likewise, I would like to thank the coaches and referees for their commitment to teaching and developing our basketballers. Finally, I would also like to thank the parents and families for their support, not merely during the games, but also with all the behind the scene logistics, whether that be getting the boys to the games on time, washing uniforms, taking some shots in the backyard, or helping with scoring. We appreciate your efforts.

I believe we have had a strong Term 4 because boys have continued to develop their overall skills and put them into practice on the court.

Home run! Strike out! Stealing! Throw it home! These are just some of the various calls you will hear on a Saturday morning. For many boys, the ability to catch with their off-hand, to use a leathery web extension, and to judge speed and bounce can be a huge challenge. Some simple facts make the game of Softball interesting – hitting with a round bat, catching with one hand, or using a larger ball.

One of the highlights of the 2018 Softball season was the development of the fundamental skills in the boys. As the boys grew in their understanding of the game, it was encouraging to see the simple skills of catching, throwing, batting, and fielding steadily improve. It was wonderful to watch them bond as a team and support and nurture each other, as well as their sportsmanship with the opposition. It was encouraging to see them grow in their caring towards all involved in the game, in their knowledge of the game, and to see them become risk-takers.

The final score, while one measure of the game, was often not a true reflection of the arm wrestle that took place on the field. The team played eight, won three and lost five close games. Some powerful batting from Jonathan Nam (6Sc), Edward Simonds (6Sc), Justin Lee (6Hi), Theodore Tollas (5He) and Cristos Caridi (4He) established a firm foundation for each innings. Edward Simonds and Cristos Caridi proved that clever pitching was more important than speed. Arthur Gerakas (6Ar), Ryan Lu (6He), Kevin Tran (6Ar), Oliver St George (5He), Gavin Tran (5Ar), James Ko (5Hi), and Bailin Ashcroft (4Hi) gave solid support in the field through their catching and good game play. The boys trained with a desire to improve each week, and this paid off with convincing victories over Tudor House, Trinity Junior School, and St Pius. A huge thank you to our families who passionately supported the boys from each side and helped make the season so memorable.

It was another successful Swimming season for the Preparatory School Swim team. For the IPSHA Carnival, the Preparatory School sent a team of seventeen boys to compete. Slightly inexperienced compared to previous years, the boys performed admirably and achieved some great results. So much so that the team finished third in the overall standing on 127 points, behind Knox on 130, and Barker on 132. This was outstanding considering that our Captain missed a majority of his races due to injury. The Junior Relay again had success as they finished third and qualified for the CIS Championships for the third straight year. The team then went on to finish second at the NSW PSSA carnival.

The 2018 AFL season saw the Prep and Junior Schools combine and we had the highest number of students participate since the introduction of AFL. This increase in participants resulted in the addition of a second team for the first time, allowing us to field a 1sts and 2nds team.

The 1sts fought bravely all year, in a very tough competition and managed to record three wins. There were also three very narrow losses by under a goal. Despite the disappointment of narrow losses, the team proved they could compete with any team, and their attack on the ball was a highlight of their play. The 2nds also had three wins including some very good performances against more experienced opposition. The team’s ability to kick accurately and stick to a game plan was particularly pleasing. Many students participated in AFL for the first time and showed remarkable improvement as the season progressed.

For the first time, both the Prep and Junior Schools also participated in the Paul Kelly Cup; a round robin competition open to all schools across NSW. Both teams were successful in making it to the regional final which was an admirable achievement.

In addition to team success, there were some outstanding individual accolades. Lochlan Demark (6Ta) and Josh O’Connell (5Ta) were selected for the CIS AFL team which participated in the NSW All School’s championship in Batemans Bay. CIS were the eventual champions, and both boys had fantastic carnivals and were instrumental in the success of the team. Additionally, Remy Maresch (6Hi) and Lucas Blum (6Yo) were named in the IPSHA all-star team. A particular mention also goes to the captain of AFL, Indiana Murphy (6Ta), for his leadership and encouragement of the team throughout the year.

I look forward to 2019 and the continued growth and success of AFL at Trinity.

The enthusiasm shown Stephen Mugridge | MIC Preparatory School and Junior School Cricket throughout the season played a major role in both their form and enjoyment of the games.

The Year 5 teams struggled against some very strong opposition in Term 1. However, focusing on the basics and reducing errors allowed for some significant improvement in results. This was particularly true for the 5As when they experienced victory over two schools in the Woolworths T20 Blast, placing fourth. Mateo Larrota Lasso (5Ta) provided an outstanding highlight by taking four wickets in an over, narrowly missing out on a hat trick.

In 2018 two of our Super 8 teams were combined Year 5 and 6 sides. It has been pleasing to see the attitude towards improvement that the boys showed. This drive to improve their skills actually allowed both Isaac Abdenour (5He) and Rory Flanaghan (5Fo) to earn promotions throughout

237 PREPARATORY & JUNIOR SCHOOLS COMBINED MINIMITES

Minimites is an after school programme that provides students with the opportunity to learn four different activities in an organised environment. Minimites is now in its eighth year at Trinity Grammar School, which highlights its success as a programme offered to boys in Pre-Kindergarten to Year 2. In fact, it is the only sports programme for our youngest students in Pre K and it is always so rewarding to see the delight on the faces of these boys as they attempt to master the skill in which they are learning.

In Term 1 we took advantage of the warmer weather and the opportunity to use Oval No 1 to introduce the boys to AFL. This is a very successful sport now at Trinity, with two teams in Years 5/6, as well as one in 7/8, 9/10 and Opens, so it was wonderful to be able to give this opportunity to our young Minimites athletes. AFL NSW/ACT ran the five week programme, and the boys spent time learning how to hand pass, kick and mark. The improvements each week were incredible, and we definitely have some future AFL stars in the making. The boys were all treated to a sausage in a roll at the conclusion of the season as well as an AFL pack.

Term 2 is often the highlight as the boys are treated to a five week Dance programme, brought to them by the talented and effervescent Joan Carmody Dance School. The Dance instructors delivered an outstanding programme to our infant boys and did an amazing job in motivating and teaching the boys different dance moves and a routine to show their delighted parents at the conclusion.

Term 3 saw a change to the Multi Skills programme with three weeks of Rugby skills and two weeks of Football, offering the boys exposure in two of our most popular sports. The focus on improving gross motor skills through participating in these activities over a five week period was evident as the boys were able to catch, throw, and kick when they played a game against each other.

Term 4 was a return to Oval No 1 and the Milo in2 Cricket programme was offered to our Minimites athletes. The boys loved having the space to run around and try and ‘bat’ the ball as far as possible. Other skills such as catching, throwing, and bowling were developed over the four week programme.

241 JUNIOR SCHOOL PRIZE GIVING ADDRESS Mark Dunn | Master of the Junior School

It is oft-said that education is the greatest gift given to the next generation. Boys, that means that whatever will be under the tree or in your stocking will be a bonus, as you are already well ahead. You are being given the gift of an education filled with opportunities that few receive. This is not fair or something you have earned. It is gifted to you by your parents and teachers, something that can’t be taken from you but will remain yours, shaping the man you become and preparing you for whatever challenges lie ahead. In most cases, all your parents and teachers ask is that you make the most of every chance, and in time, with maturity, appreciate this special privilege afforded to you. I am happy to report to your parents that every day I see you grabbing these chances, stretching yourselves, inquiring, thinking, communicating, caring, and taking risks. Sometimes you learn from your mistakes, maybe when you haven’t thought first, communicated carefully, cared enough, or properly assessed the risks. Being able to learn from your mistakes, in a place where you are cared for and supported and allowed to fail without catastrophic consequences and then try again, is one of the best parts of the gift.

Growth is both a gift and an achievement, as our growth is invariably founded on things we are given – love, time, ability, opportunity, guidance, encouragement. 2018 has been a year abundant in individual and team growth, sometimes measured in outstanding results, sometimes evident in specific improvement, sometimes demonstrated in grace when facing challenges or defeat. Our boys work and play hard, fairly and with passion – we cannot ask more. This year’s meritorious sporting, artistic, and academic notables are too numerous to mention now. I am confident that at other times (including in a few moments), we suitably acknowledge each boy’s achievements and milestones. Boys, remember that learning should bring satisfaction and reward far beyond any award. Learning is the reward. This year, I ask each of you to stop, reflect on the year past, and choose three ways you know that you have grown (one in mind, one in body, and one in spirit). Share these with your family on the way home today or possibly over an end-of-year dinner celebration. Then, ask yourself how you can use your growth to serve your family, friends, and others. Ultimately, we are entrusted gifts which manifest and grow in us not for our own satisfaction and benefit but to make a difference for Chairman of Council and Mrs Pegg, good in the lives of others.

Head Master and Mrs Bowden, At Trinity, we come from different countries (seventy), speak different languages (fifty), feel differently, learn differently, have different strengths, Members of the School Council and Executive, and varied beliefs. We like different things: games, subjects, foods, and music.

245 JUNIOR SCHOOL CAPTAIN’S REPORT

and enhanced our leadership skills. The day encouraged us to use our full potential and inspire others to do so too.

Although school is enjoyable, all students are glad to get a break from it! Excursions are a great time to refresh the mind and have a lot of fun. Kindergarten to Year 2 enjoyed many excursions, from Warragamba Dam to the Easter Show. Years 3 and 4 were excited to experience their first camps at Galston Gorge for two nights. Year 5 was taken slightly out of their comfort zone to a new campsite at Lake Macquarie but enjoyed the experience entirely.

Year 6 was also given plenty of opportunities to see the world with our excursions to Chinatown, Canberra and the TGS Field Studies Centre at Woollamia. Chinatown was a great place for seeing peaceful gardens, enjoying looking at a different culture, and, most importantly, eating dumplings. We then explored our nation’s capital during a two-night visit to Canberra, visiting the War Memorial, Parliament House, the Mint, and Questacon. However, the main highlight was ending the tour with a visit to Zone 3 Laser Tag, where all students had a heap of fun! In Term 3, Year 6 were fortunate to be the first Junior School Group to visit the TGS Field Studies Centre. It was here that we learnt how to use a compass, participated in an archery tournament, learnt how to paddle a canoe, and discovered the secrets of mangroves. We also experienced winter outdoor camping - for many boys this was an experience they won’t forget!

The China Tour was an outstanding experience for the boys in Years 5 and 6 who were lucky enough to be part of it. We saw many unforgettable sites such as the Terracotta Warriors, The Great Wall Of China, an amazing skywalk, the Summer Palace, Tiananmen Square, and so much more. It was an eye-opening experience and we got some very valuable financial advice as we practised our bargaining. 2018. Gone in a flash.

2018 has passed us by within the blink of an eye. It has been another Impressive costumes such as Ninja Turtles, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle eventful year for all Kindergarten, Year 1, and Year 2 students.

The boys have grown in independence with a supportive and involved parent community, makes for a formidable and are now able to complete tasks or activities that have been set by team. I thank our boys, their parents, and staff for this. their teachers with greater commitment and confidence.

For all of Term 2, I was away on long service leave. I was fortunate enough Throughout the year, Kindergarten students have enjoyed and benefited to be able to do a lot of traveling and saw much of Europe.

Throughout their learning experiences, they developed an appreciation TRINITY GRAMMAR SCHOOL | THE TRIANGLE 2018 THE | GRAMMAR SCHOOL TRINITY 248 that their understanding and acceptance of others impacts all around them. It was a pertinent unit to start the year with.

These Year 1 learning experiences extended to several excursions. They were lucky enough to be part of an excursion that took them to the Royal Easter Show. The boys discovered and investigated how food produce gets from the farm to their tables. Another excursion took them to Taronga Zoo. They learnt about the interactions between humans and animals, and the importance of sharing the planet.

I am so proud of our Year 2 boys! They have grown into great role models for the Infants boys in Kindergarten and Year 1. They continue to build on their academic abilities and social development, skills that will stand them in good stead for their primary years. They have worked on being more independent by self-managing their learning and their social interactions with their peers and staff.

Year 2 students promoted recycling in the Junior School through writing persuasive letters to Mr Dunn requesting that a yellow recycling bin be placed in the K-2 playground. This is an action that they undertook after researching the world-wide problem of waste disposal. The boys noticed that the rest of the School had the yellow bins, but their playground did not. They developed a genuine concern and sense of responsibility for preserving and caring for their planet. They became committed to trying to limit the amount of plastic we dispose of at Trinity Grammar School.

The Sharing the Planet Unit of Inquiry also involved the boys investigating the earth’s natural resources. They discussed and established the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources. To demonstrate their understanding, they pedalled bikes to power blenders to make smoothies rather than using electricity. It was a successful morning of making and selling smoothies to raise money for the John MacClean Foundation.

As part of the Unit of Inquiry Where we are in Place and Time, Year 2 visited two different types of houses from the late 1700s and early 1800s. Elizabeth Farm provided the boys with some insight into what farm living was like, whilst Susannah Place, in the Rocks, demonstrated early city living. They were able to make comparisons between them and recognised the importance of preserving history for future generations.

The Year 2 boys also looked at preserving their own personal histories. They put together individual museum boxes. Within these boxes they included items that represented important or memorable moments from their past. Artefacts included christening photos, candles, family photos, and special toys. Each boy presented to his class using a class generated criteria list to follow. As a final task, they shared their museums with their parents and the JUNIOR SCHOOL rest of the Junior School in an open classroom exhibition. K - YEAR 2

Being active is essential to the growth and development of all children. Infants students benefited from PE and FAST lessons throughout the year. FAST is dedicated to increasing the boys’ basic skill development in areas such as kicking and throwing. This, along with their regular class PE lessons, is designed to get the boys ready for the sporting commitments faced from Year 3 onwards. Many of the boys participated in the EAP programme where the focus was on developing skills in all areas of athletics, including running, hurdling etc. The Minimites programme had another successful year. Those who took part enjoyed Soccer, Rugby, AFL, Cricket and Dance.

This year our intensive swimming sessions were run in Term 4. This programme has been running for the last few years and is always a worthwhile component to the school sports curriculum. It is amazing to observe the change in confidence that takes place during such a concentrated programme. Term 4 also saw the boys participate in the annual mini track and field morning. Students enjoyed a morning of light hearted competition, joining in such activities as running, long jump, and javelin.

Well done to all our boys this year! They have worked hard and their gains should make everyone proud. Thank you to all our parents for your ongoing support, and a special thanks to the dedicated class and specialist teachers for all their hard work this year. Have a wonderful break and I look forward to seeing you all again next year.

Jenny Tredinnick | Junior School Infants Co-ordinator 249 JUNIOR SCHOOL FOUNDER’S HOUSE

2018 proved to be a fantastic year for Founder’s House. The boys displayed plenty of House spirit, enthusiasm and teamwork throughout the year. Firstly, I would like to thank House Captain, Kevin Ma (6B), and Vice-captain, Jayden Skuse (6K), for the inspirational young leaders they have been and their great role-modelling to the students in Founder’s House. They led the way for all Year 6 Founder’s boys with admirable leadership, encouraging their peers to display a sense of team pride and positive sportsmanship. Of course, thanks must also go to the Founder’s staff members for their encouragement and support: Shelley Richards; Claire Hexton; Jacqueline Kelly; Chloe Martin; Merilyn Ormes; and Andrew Clark. Their support and assistance throughout the year has been invaluable and greatly appreciated. The year started with the annual Junior School Swimming Carnival, where it was encouraging to see all the boys participating and having fun. Stand out results and IPSHA Swimming representation included: Max Munday (3N); Samuel de Alwis (3N); Ollie Orr (6R); and Nathaniel Abdelmalek (6R). In addition to Swimming, Rory Flanagan (5P) represented IPSHA in Diving. Founder's also continued to compete strongly outside of the pool, with very enthusiastic competition in the Cross Country. Special mention goes to Riley Coneliano (5H), Luke Gergis (5B), Joshua Otto (6K) and Nathaniel Housemaster Abdelmalek for their achievements representing the School at IPSHA. The Athletics Carnival was a tight photo finish, with Founder's House coming in a close second place. Well done David Gaudiosi to Samuel de Alwis (3N), Lachlan Reese (4G) and Zac Jandera (5P) for representing IPSHA in Track and Field. I would also like to acknowledge and congratulate the following Founder's boys for being awarded Best and House Captain Fairest for weekend sport. Awarded at the conclusion of 2017 in summer sport for Cricket was Jayden Skuse Kevin Ma and in Basketball Ollie Orr (6R), and Riley Coneliano (5H). In winter sport for Football the awards went to Dylan Ritchley (6R) and for Rugby to Zeke de Alwis (5H), Luke Gergis (5B), and Lachlan Reese (4G). The young men of Founder’s House participated in a kaleidoscope of school activities and co-curricular programmes House Vice-Captain that reflect the variety of talents our boys possess, including Chess, Debating, Choir, Band, Ensembles, Art and Jayden Skuse Drama. Last but most certainly not least, I want to express a big thank you to the parents who support the boys and have House Colour helped this year be the success it has been. The Family House Chapel service is an example that comes to mind - the caring and nurturing sense of community that exists within the School would not be possible without our Orange parents support and encouragement. Whether in the classroom or on the sporting field, the young men of Founder’s House should be proud of the manner in which they have conducted themselves this year, of their enthusiastic and skilled participation, and above all of encouraging and building a strong sense of team spirit. 2018 has ended on a significant high note, and I look forward to the highlights the new sporting and academic year will undoubtedly bring and anticipate sharing these great achievements on the newly displayed House Notice Display in the Junior School.

Throughout 2018, the members of Latham House continued to demonstrate enthusiasm and dedication in all aspects of school life. Our House leaders, Will Constanti (6) and Hugo Nguyen (6) demonstrated an exceptional standard in leadership and spirit.

Naturally, the friendly competition between houses is a source of motivation for many boys. Participation, sportsmanship, and the privilege of watching all those who have trained tirelessly throughout the season is most rewarding - regardless of overall results. In Latham, we are proud to acknowledge the achievements of some of our most accomplished athletes.

Our Swimming Championships in Term 1 saw record levels of participation, with every entry in an event earning points for the House. Congratulations to Owyn Nakhle (4) who achieved runner-up to the age champion in the Under 10s, and a special mention goes to boys who reached the finals and finished close behind the eventual champions in their age group.

The Track and Field season allowed many boys from Latham to display their skill and determination, with the combined effort of all the boys resulting in a thrilling first place finish for Latham in the Track and Field Housemaster Championships. Outstanding individual performances led to Nivesch Balenthiran (Under 9s), Ethan Dunne (Under Mr Jonathan Borger 11s) and Luca Bazdaric (Under 12s) all finishing runner up to the champions in their respective age groups. Of particular note were the performances of Will Constanti and Luca Bazdaric (6) which earned them the opportunity House Captain to compete for the School at representative level. Will Constanti Throughout the year, there were many opportunities for Latham boys to shine outside the sporting arena. Many members of Latham House put their critical and strategic thinking skills to the test during Debating and House Vice-Captain Chess competitions, some presented passionate performances as part of Drama club, or displayed their musical Hugo Nguyen talents as members of the choir or various ensembles. All members of Latham displayed their caring side through participation in fundraising endeavours, and everyone contributed to the Junior School’s physical environment, with creative, vibrant art work adorning the walls throughout the year. House Colour Black I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the parents and Latham House staff who have contributed so much throughout the year in supporting the boys and helping them meet challenges and achieve their potential. Congratulations to the young men of Latham. In the classroom and on the playground, during performances and on the sporting field, you have represented your House with distinction and pride. You participated, with enthusiasm and commitment, in all areas of Junior School life.

251 JUNIOR SCHOOL TAUBMAN HOUSE

It has been a pleasure being the Housemaster of Taubman this year, and I believe learning to work together as a team was an important goal to strive for. This was demonstrated by how the boys warmly welcomed the new members to Taubman House during our first house meeting.

My role as a Housemaster was made more enjoyable with the leadership from our House Captain, Hugh Crakanthorp (6) and our Vice-captain, Oscar Hartzenberg (6). Their positive attitude and leadership skills helped the rest of the boys, especially the young ones to do their best in everything they do. It was a pleasure to see the two boys take control and lead Taubman House through the carnivals and co-curricular events.

Sport at Trinity is a fantastic experience for both boys and parents. At times it can be a little intimidating to take part in events, especially for the new boys. However, as the year progressed the boys better understood the joy that comes from participating. Well done, boys.

During the year, several members of Taubman House performed well in their individual events. A special mention must go out to two students. Joshua O’Connell (5) won the Cross Country and was Age Champion for the Under 11s. He has also qualified to compete in the State Championship in 800 metres after winning at the Housemaster IPSHA carnivals. Jaiden Marshall (5), the Swimming Age Champion for Under 11, won the silver medal in 50m Mr Suli Niulala Backstroke at the State Championship. He also competed at the National Swimming Championship in which he came sixth in the 100m Backstroke, and his team came third in 4x50 Medley Relay. House Captain Outside of the sporting arena some of the boys showed off their talents once more in other activities like IPSHA Hugh Crakanthorp Debating, Chess, Decathlon, and Maths Olympiad. Taubman House and Trinity were well represented in these events by Favian Tripodi (6), Yiannis Karantanis (6), David Wang (6), Toby Henry (6), Lochlan Demark (6), Kosta House Vice-Captain Skouteris (6) and Hugh Crakanthorp (6). Oscar Hartzenberg Taubman House has performed well above our expectation this year and it all comes down to the positive attitude the boys have shown and the support given by the parents at home. I would like to thank all the parents, Mrs House Colour Jessica Taylor, and Miss Megan Best for their ongoing support of the boys throughout the year. Thank you all. White Detur Gloria Soli Deo.

Clad in maroon, the Young House boys gathered together, enthusiastically encouraging one another to strive for their personal best whether it be in the pool, the playing field or in the academic realm of Trinity life. It is wonderful to witness Young House display resilience and unity, resulting in many memorable moments and some strong victories along the way. This year our ‘Youngsters’ were ably led by House Captain, Lawrence Hoe (6), and House Vice-captain, Cameron van der Goot (6). These two young men have been passionate representatives for Young House, providing service through their leadership and commitment. Jonathan Ucchino’s (6) sense of humour saw him volunteer as the unofficial House mascot, being a most welcome addition to the Young team. Early 2018 saw some fantastic results in the annual Swimming Championships. There were many strong individual performances in the pool, with Young boys frequently appearing in the finals. Congratulations to all Age Runners Up and Age Champions. Most praiseworthy was the commitment of all Young boys to engage wholeheartedly in as many events as possible. The attitude of ‘doing one’s small part’ to accomplish a winning result certainly proved to be instrumental to Young’s success this year. Congratulations for a superb effort to IPSHA and CIS Swimmer – Nathan Jones (2) and to IPSHA, CIS and NSW Diver – Peter Galanos (4). We look forward to watching your progress in the years to come. Housemaster Young continued to compete strongly and enthusiastically in the annual Cross Country. The boys were well represented in all age groups. They all certainly put in a determined effort on the day. Special mentions go to Ms Jennifer Mitrokas Cross Country Age Champions, Under 12s Sam Avery (6) and Under 8/9s Jayden Bechara (3). Under 12s Euan Potter (6), Under 11s Joshua Falato (5), and Under 10s Finlay Hanning (5) also impressed as runners up, with House Captain Under 8/9s Cyril Elassal (3) taking third place. Congratulations to Cross Country IPSHA representatives, Joshua Lawrence Hoe Falato and Sam Avery for your accomplishments. Taking place under the blue skies of the winter season, the annual Track and Field Championships offered the perfect setting for Young House to continue to develop their sense of camaraderie. I was particularly impressed House Vice-Captain with the eagerness our youngest boys displayed, many of them competing in a variety of field events for the first Cameron van der Goot time. We placed third overall, and there is little doubt the Young boys will continue in their efforts to strive for improvement in Track and Field events. Well done to Hugo Tsai (3) and Cameron van der Goot for representing House Colour the School at the IPSHA and CIS Track and Field Championships respectively. The all-round participation and team spirit would not be possible without the encouragement and support of Maroon parents, Junior School Sportsmaster, Mr Robinson, and the Junior School staff. The Young House boys join me in thanking the parents, Mr Robinson, and the Young House teachers, Mr Hoare, Miss Jabaji, Mrs McGuinness, Mrs Rees, Mrs Scott, Mrs Wang, and Mrs Weber for their enthusiasm and dedication. Finally, I would like to commend the impressive effort of all the Young House boys in working together to make 2018 an exciting and enjoyable year.

Three lunchtime Cru groups have been running and this year: an Infants group, a Year 3/4 group and a Year 5/6 Bible study. The primary groups have enjoyed some growth as boys have brought their friends to the Bible studies and enjoyed the milkshakes and games as well. I have been very grateful for the help of Jeremy Adams (12Fo) as he has led the Year 5/6 study on a Friday. Jeremy has done a fabulous job and has played a role in mentoring Isaac Soldatos (10Hi) and Alex Yee (10Ta) as well. I look forward to Isaac and Alex continuing their relationship with the Year 6 boys as they take on the Year 7 study next year. The School has also been well served by some excellent Year 6 Cru leaders including Yiannis Karantanis (6Ta), Ollie Orr (6Fo), Lucas Blum (6Yo), Felix Hindle (6La) and Peter Khoury Harb (Ta). They have been faithful and enthusiastic in their service.

One of the best parts of serving in this School is the boys are enthusiastic about finding out more about Jesus, whether in Cru groups or Christian Studies classes. Please continue to pray for the boys as they explore who Jesus is and why he is important. It has been a pleasure to serve another year at Trinity Grammar Junior Soli Deo Gloria. School. Chapel has been a wonderful opportunity to concentrate on issues that are not necessarily raised in class. This year, the boys have learnt about some key themes in the Bible; about people who make mistakes, about what true love is, about how to love differently, and about how God prepared us for Christmas. We have been well served by Mr Adams, Mr Niulala, and Miss Rees in music. I am also grateful for the service of two students - Euan Potter (6Yo) and Alexander Heather (6Ta). May God be glorified as we continue to learn about Him.

This year at the Junior School, we have been trialling a new after-school club for boys in Years 3-6. Homework club met in Terms 2 and 3 on Thursday afternoons for boys in Years 5 and 6. In Term 4 it moved to Wednesday afternoon and is now open for boys from Year 3 to 6. The aim of the club is for boys to bring the homework that their classroom teacher has assigned for them and be able to complete it in a quiet and supportive environment. The club is staffed by a TESS staff member, and the boys can receive assistance with completing their work if they require it. Some boys require very little assistance and simply enjoy the chance to complete work at school, freeing them up to enjoy relaxation time at home. All boys from Years 3 to 6 are welcome to join us, and there are currently spaces available.

2018 was a year full of excitement and achievement for Mandarin Immersion Classes. We have grown from one class to two classes. Many learning opportunities were provided to the boys. In March, eleven boys, James Saunders (1Fo), Henry Guo (2Yo), William Ge (2Fo), Jason Lan (2Fo), Hugo Tsai (3Yo), William Saunders (3Fo), Ethan Peng (3Yo), Aidan Wong (4Yo), Shawn Chen (4La), Bennett Lo (5Ta), and Max Tsai (5Yo) participated in the Chinese Reading Recital Competition and got into the second round.

Aidan Wong won first prize of primary Chinese speakers group. In August they went to Beijing and competed with forty-five participants from six countries in the grand final. Both Aidan and James were age group champion, and William won the first prize in his age group. In his recount, Aidan said, “The trip to Beijing was a very meaningful experience for me because I had the honour of representing the School and Australia to compete in the competition. I was nervous but also excited. I tried my best and I was proud of my achievement. I hope that I can inspire other students to participate in activities like this to improve their Chinese and learn the art of recitation. I think the purpose of recitation is to bring our emotion to the audience and to speak from the heart with power.” William and James said, “We all practised hard almost every day to learn the words, become more expressive, and increase our confidence when speaking. We all gave 200% effort, and our results reflected our hard work. We were very happy to have taken part and along the way we overcame the challenges and fears that we faced.” Later in August we welcomed a recitation group from China. Around twenty Junior School boys interacted with the students from China and worked together with them to create short stories or poems about some native animals of Australia and China. Then they presented their work to parents and visitors. It was a great success. The audience were all impressed with the boys’ performance.

Our annual Creative Arts showcase was an exceptional exhibition of creativity, art exploration, and experimentation. Every boy from Kindergarten to Year 6 had at least one piece of artwork displayed, and each piece was a unique, individual expression of the material, subject, concept, or Unit of Inquiry theme. The Year 6 major works were particularly strong this year, with some very contemporary and conceptual art installations, sculptures, and mixed media works. William Brown (6B) was even able to showcase his costume by wearing it on the evening. This was complemented by our much loved Creative Arts living sculptures performance.

In Term 2, The Junior School greatly welcomed back the ceramic expertise and creativity of Kristyn Taylor, owner and director of Ceramics In Schools. Kristyn is invited yearly and conducts Ceramic workshops in collaboration with our Year 4 Whales Visual Arts teachers. Kindergarten, Years 1, 2, 4 and 5 were able to express their creativity as well as developing new skills in their individual and collaborative ceramic artworks. Each year group worked within their PYP Visual Arts Unit of Inquiry. Kindergarten made houses within their transdisciplinary theme ‘How We Organise Ourselves’, Year 1 focused on bugs, in correlation with ‘Sharing the Planet’, while Year 2 created machines based on their understanding of ‘How the World Works’. Year Four created Humpback whales, to represent and pay respects to the Indigenous people of the Eora Nation, and Year 5 looked at facial expression and how we express emotion in Art.

It was noted that there was unique evidence of learning in those boys who have had the opportunity to work with Kristyn over their years at Trinity. The demonstration of skills learnt over these years was transferred into the making of their artworks. It was also wonderful for those boys new to the School to have the chance to Year 6 AGNSW Excursion Alan Chen (5H) work with such a creative and skilled ceramicist. JUNIOR SCHOOL WRITING COMPETITION | VISUAL ARTS STICKINSECT CLUB | TRINITY TIMES Our overnight Bundanon Visual Arts camp provided our most motivated and interested Art students the opportunity to see the Australian Artist, Arthur Boyd’s, house and studio followed by outdoor and indoor workshops with the artist education officers. The rain prevented us from following the tradition of ending the camp at Riversdale with creek bed environmental sculpture, however the boys were soon absorbed in an exciting workshop in the Oscar Hartzenberg (6Ta) massive indoor learning space, problem solving with construction materials to create unique sculptures. The boys also had the opportunity to work with ink, pastel, encaustic, and mixed media with our own staff in the evening session.

The Year 6 excursion to view Art Express at the Art Gallery of New South Wales provided the boys with inspiration for their self-directed work. It was exciting to see their imaginations begin to work overtime as they viewed the exhibition of Year 12 work. In conversations with each other, teachers, and education officers, many of the boys explored ideas for further development at school.

With an impressive fourteen teams, early Saturday mornings during the summer Basketball season involved many of the Junior School boys donning their green and white singlets to compete with other schools in games of skill, stamina and fast-thinking plays. What may often appear as quite easy from the sidelines, certainly calls upon each player to embrace the experience of being tested in their level of commitment to remaining determined and resilient over the course of the game.

A strong focus on the fundamental skills of Basketball, regardless of age, is at the core of all training at the Junior School, however, the personal learning journey for each boy may differ. Each victory and disappointment provided players with an opportunity to reflect on important life lessons about respect, patience, humility, friendship, and leadership. With the guidance of parents and coaches, some boys focused on developing their grit and determination, while the learning path for others saw them working on regulating their passion for the game. It was pleasing to see the Junior School boys making the most of every moment to work as a team and demonstrate progression in their skill development and personal growth. Well done to our youngest and newest players to Basketball this year. During Term 3, Year 3 boys showed an impressive commitment to developing their skills and participated wholeheartedly in a school-based competition against the Preparatory School on Friday afternoons.

Thank you to Oliver Orr (6Fo) for being Captain of Basketball this year. Oliver has participated with a genuine desire to improve the game and lead with respect and humility at all times. To all parents who drove boys to early morning training sessions and Saturday games, and who supported the teams, your contribution is sincerely appreciated by all the boys and coaches. Finally, I would like to thank Mr Morrissey, Mr Robinson, and all the coaches for your love of the game and your willingness to share your expertise and encouragement to inspire the Junior School boys to play to their potential each week.

Teams, may the hard work you contribute during training provide you with success in all your endeavours over the coming years. Best wishes for the 2019 season.

Another Football season has passed, and what an enjoyable season it was! Trinity had some wonderful victories, nail biting draws and emotional losses. However, week in week out the boys made significant improvements while mastering their skills in defending and attacking. Each player wore their green and white jersey with pride and came to realise that victories aren’t always measured in wins. The boys proved to be winners in the positive relationships they built with one another and their coaches, the tremendous team spirit they displayed, and the never give up attitude that they lived and breathed. The 1st XI displayed great determination and commitment, and they worked exceptionally well as a team to achieve extraordinary success. Led by their coaches, Mr Mark Dunn and Mr John Dimopoulos, the boys competed for every ball with perseverance and displayed a high level of skill throughout their games. A number of the boys travelled on the North Coast tour alongside the Preparatory School and achieved wonderful results - two wins from three matches with eighteen goals being scored and only seven goals conceded in all three matches. Year 6, led by their coaches, Miss Karen Morgan, Mr James Webb, and Mr Rushad Parekh, exhibited versatility and expertise, resulting in many great individual and team performances. The Year 5 teams, under the guidance of their coaches, Mr Nicholas Chan, Mr Nicholas Bishop, Miss Alexandra Adam, and Miss Claire Hexton, faced some challenging opponents, however, there were some pleasing results as the boys displayed tremendous technique and skill to impress the opposing sides. Year 4, along with their coaches, Mr Harrison Page, Mr David Gaudiosi, and Ms Tabitha Bell, played fiercely, displaying a growing improvement on their speed, agility, dribbling, and passing. A special mention needs to go to Mr Luke Gray, MIC of Senior Football, Mr Chris Robinson, Miss Shepard, and Miss Husband for their expertise and knowledge in coaching both staff and students with skills on Thursday mornings. Thank you to all the coaches and parents for your time and contributions throughout the season. Without your support and effort these games would not be possible.

We were delighted to be a part of the 2018 Softball coaching team. Firstly, we must thank Mr Matthew O’Neil for his mentoring and expertise in enhancing the boys’ catching skills and ability to work as a team.

Our Captains were James Kay (6Y) and Jayden Azzi (6F). Both James and Jayden showed great leadership by encouraging and motivating their teams to give their best.

All players made significant improvements in their skills over the season. This was particularly the case with basic skills such as pitching, catching, batting, and fielding. Boys also developed their understanding of the game, positions, and tactics, and demonstrated great confidence, communication, and sportsmanship both at training and during games on Saturdays.

All boys trialed a range of positions throughout the season, with a small number of boys settling on those more suited to their strengths. Of special note was Dimitri Armenis with his quick reflexes as catcher, Kevin Ma and Michael Hatzistergos with their reliable and accurate pitching, and Luke Gergis who was an excellent all rounder.

We thoroughly enjoyed coaching and umpiring the boys through their season; much fun was had by all.
