Cricket - Sydney Boys High School Cricket - Sydney Boys High School Cricket is the most prestigious GPS Summer Sport dating back to 1906 played over Term 4 and Term 1. Sydney Boys High is unique as it is not only an academic selective school it is also the only public school among the nine members of the Athletics Association of Great Public Schools (AAGPS) – which means we are part of an exclusive group that competes at all levels in a variety of sports and activities and is arguably one of the highest standard school boys sport competitions in the world. High has won the GPS cricket premiership on seven occasions: 1933, 1934, 1938, 1968, 1979, 1982 and 1994. In 1994, Sydney High went on to represent NSW in the national championships. And in 1980 we won the prestigious CHS Knockout Tournament, The Alan Davidson Shield, captained by one of our current MIC Cricket, Mr David Smith. In 2014-15 season we won the South-East Regional Final. 1979 1st XI - GPS Premiers High Cricket Program Cricket is a particularly demanding sport that requires great technical skill, strength of character, concentration, commitment and physical endurance. We aim to produce well rounded young men and realise maximum enjoyment for all involved and showing respect for each other, promoting the values of team work, co-operation and leadership. In addition cricket helps young men learn to accept both success and failure graciously; they become aware of the need to co-operate with others, using the best qualities of each individual to contribute to the greater 1 / 2 Cricket - Sydney Boys High School advantage of the whole group; the importance of time management; personal effort; commitment; goal setting; self-discipline and cooperation. Sydney Boys High values Cricket because of the life lessons learnt as we are concerned with the development of the whole person, turning our young boys into young men. These attributes transfer off the pitch and into the classroom, with studies showing boys who commit to extra-curricular activities such as cricket are better prepared and disciplined for school work and the HSC. The majority of matches are played on turf pitches and are of the highest standard that are well equipped with cricket change rooms, toilets, kitchen and two large tents – like our home ground in Centennial Park, McKay Oval. Fixtures and ground locations are posted on the website in the Upcoming Events section during the week. November and December features the annual exchange visit for the East Coast Cup against Brisbane State High School for our Year 7 and Year 8 representative team and the annual Summer Exchange playing for the Barberis Cup against Melbourne High School and Brisbane State High School for Year 9 (Under 16) representative players. Additionally our 1st XI participate in the annual 5 Highs National Carnival. State selective high schools from around the country, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, take turns to host this prestigious national cricket event. SBHS players are regularly selected in the Australian 5 Highs team. Currently at High, we have over 180 cricketers in 16 teams. High Cricketers have access to high quality training facilities including our undercover cricket nets with four lanes and two bowling machines. The nets are also well equipped with floodlights allowing us to train all hours of the day. We have access to the SCG indoor cricket nets and to turf training facilities. The 1st and 2nd XI play their fixtures on the picturesque field, McKay Oval, located inside Centennial Park. This is looked after by a third party company, Green Options, to provide top quality pitches and field for our players.

  • Narrative Insights Into Education Eleanor Peeler [email protected]
    Windows into the past: narrative insights into education Eleanor Peeler [email protected] WINDOWS INTO THE PAST: NARRATIVE INSIGHTS INTO EDUCATION Eleanor Peeler University of Melbourne, Melbourne Abstract The intent of this paper is to stress the importance of narrative and story, and to share the experience of opening the windows of memory to look into the past and uncover fascinating and valuable histories as portrayed in a current study. The longitudinal study of an educator follows his life story and his role in education. Set in Victoria, it explores the founding of the State’s education system and highlights progressive developments. The life story reveals the history of the system and evolving philosophies that influenced the life of the subject. The study considers the philosophies and how they influenced the subject’s thinking and actions. Using windows as a metaphor, Part 1 of the paper includes discussion regarding the appropriacy of narrative as a research tool, considers the notion of memory and introduces the research subject. Part 2 gives insights into three distinct periods and the part played by three men who guided Victoria’s educational development and growth throughout the twentieth century. In relation to each is a brief discussion of their influence on the career of the research subject. Windows into the past While the story of the narratives holds interest, the process of narrative inquiry is a valuable tool for research. The intent of this paper is to stress the importance of narrative and story, and to share the experience of opening the windows of memory to look into the past and uncover fascinating and valuable histories.

  • Melbourne High School. 14 February 2013
    Submission to the Committee for the Parliamentary Inquiry into the extent, benefits and potential of music education in Victorian schools From: Jeremy Ludowyke, Principal of Melbourne High School on behalf of the Melbourne High School Council and school community. I present this submission from the perspective of an experienced government school principal with an extensive, informed and passionate professional experience of music education. In this submission I do not intend to address those aspects of the Inquiry’s terms of reference that deal with the benefits of music education as in my view these have been ably addressed in other submissions to the Inquiry, including that prepared by Dr Anne Lierse on behalf of the Melbourne High School Music department and community. I believe I am well credentialed to provide informed advice relevant to the Inquiry’s terms of reference having served for over ten years as a Principal representative on Regional Instrumental Music reference committees in Eastern, Northern and Southern Regions as well as contributing to the last state wide review of instrumental music resource allocation undertaken by the Department of Education in 2002-3. I have also served as the Principal of schools recognised as exemplars in music education; Princes Hill Secondary College and Melbourne High School. On the basis of this experience of grappling with the complexities of relevant local and systemic provision issues, I intend to present and explore a specific provision model the committee may wish to consider to promote and nurture effective music education in Victoria. The future of music education curriculum: The release of the ACARA Australian curriculum shaping paper for the Arts provides an opportune backdrop to this Inquiry.
