Chairman of Council, Mr. Pegg and Mrs. Pegg,

Emeritus Chairman and Chairman of the School Foundation,

Mr. Mills and Mrs. Mills,

Distinguished Guests,

Members of the School Council,

Members of Staff,

Ladies and Gentlemen, and

Young Men of the School. It is both my pleasure and privilege to present to you the 103rd Report of Trinity Grammar School, Summer Hill, Strathfield and Wollomia campus – the site of our new Field Studies Centre.

I take this opportunity to thank our Chairman of Council, Mr. Pegg, for his willingness to preside today and express on behalf of the staff and students of Trinity, our appreciation for his and Mrs Pegg’s continuing enthusiastic support and presence at so many of our School’s activities and events.

Similarly, I would like to record my appreciation for the excellent work undertaken by the School’s professional and support staff this past year. Their professional, and indeed personal, commitment to supporting, challenging and encouraging the all-round development of our boys has been outstanding. That we have a staff committed to furthering the ideals and mission of our School for the benefit of our boys and families has, in my opinion, been always one of our School’s most important assets. Their combined efforts have in no small measure, inspired and underwritten the splendid achievements of our boys these past twelve months and it is something of which the School can be rightly proud of.

This year, as in the past, we have been fortunate to witness a School community spirit of engagement and encouragement permeating throughout our extended School family, a multi-layered, inter-dependent network of mutual support engaging the School Council; the Foundation; The Old Trinitarians’ Union; The Parents’ and Friends’ Association and its various support agencies such as the Summer Hill, Strathfield and Junior School Auxiliaries all of whom we acknowledge and give thanks for at the outset of today’s proceedings – and very worthy of our collective acknowledgement today.

The achievements of 2015, which we gather to acknowledge and celebrate today -- achievements of the Mind, the Body and the Spirit -- are reflective of our School’s holistic Christian educational philosophy. A framework that sees our young boys and emerging young men experience an all- round Trinity educational experience that at the one time both challenges and nurtures them to discover their God given potential, passions and purpose in life.

At this point, I am tempted to pause and reflect that the phrase ‘our School’s holistic Christian educational philosophy’, which I’ve just employed – is one that has been echoed in one form or another for well over 100 years within the context of our School. It is also a phrase that, in the broader terms of Australian society, has lost much of its currency and potency. For we are constantly being told both in the media and within the church, that we are living in a post Christian era. Certainly, when you look at some of the research undertaken this seems to be evidently so. For example, the findings from a study undertaken in the United States by George Barna, the American Market Researcher show:

ÆÆ less than half the adults surveyed could name the 4 gospels

ÆÆ 60% were not able to name at least 5 of the 10 commandments

ÆÆ 12% of those surveyed thought Joan of Arc was Noah’s wife

ÆÆ further, a large number of those surveyed thought the Sermon on the Mount was preached by Billy Graham. Although these results were for the United States, I’m not sure the results would have been any better if the survey had been undertaken in Australia.

In particular, Mahdi Makki (9La), was placed 6th in the U17 World Karate Federation Championships, which is an outstanding achievement seeing that he is only 14 years of age. Frank Constantinidis (8St) also came 3rd in the senior boys under 66kg event in the Australian Judo Championships.

In the face of adversity, instead of wanting to quickly relieve the unhappiness or stress of the situation by looking for short-fix solutions, we want boys to instead pause and see what they are being taught, and to learn and grow from the experience. Our overall aim is for boys to be constantly striving to beat their personal best performance and never giving up in the pursuit of being the best student they can be.

NAPLAN Tests 2014

In 2014 all boys in Years 3 and 5 (both Preparatory and Junior Schools) and Years 7 and 9 participated in the National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) tests mandated by the Australian Government. The tests measured Reading, Writing, Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation, and Numeracy.

The following set of tables compare the percentage of students at Trinity with the percentage of students across the state of NSW in the top two performance bands in each of the five tested areas. The higher the band, the higher the level of performance, i.e. Band 10 is the highest, Band 1 the lowest. It should be noted that only 6 performance bands are available to each Year group.

Final remarks

A boy’s education at Trinity will be rich with opportunity and busyness. However, it is critical to remember that there will be difficult times, there will be ups, and there will be downs, but without challenge, boys can’t grow and develop their God-given talents. It is such an important life skill that boys learn - education, and life in general, is not about success or failure, but perseverance and effort.

Although 40 there are numerous groups within our cohort, there is a great sense of SCHOOL CAPTAIN’S REPORT SENIOR AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS cohesion, and I am immensely proud of the legacy of servant leadership and camaraderie that the young men were able to leave behind. This year group was grounded in the traditions and cultures of the school while bringing to the table a host of fresh ideas about how to further enhance the School’s mission. This was marked by one such call for a platform on social media aimed at promoting the voice of the student body. The successful formation of the ‘TGS Green and White Army’ on Facebook provided a digital way to deepen the sense of school spirit and unity and allowed the varied achievements of our boys to be showcased.

Thank you to the Class of 2015 for their leadership and guidance throughout the year and for the way in which they encouraged others to challenge themselves to become men of value as well as men of success. The School Officers of 2015 have made a significant impact on the School, and their passion for service and dedication in engendering school spirit, as well as their charisma and positivity, was instrumental in advancing the School towards another year of success. I extend my gratitude to the Vice-Captains of the School, Mitchell Geha (12Ar), Alex Connolly (12Ar) and Rohan Browning (12Du). Their support and whole- hearted commitment to the School certainly did not go unnoticed, and their individual successes emphasise their true character as empathetic and motivated leaders. I am personally indebted to their efforts behind the scenes in helping whenever they were needed and am glad they were and continue to be great friends of mine. Thank you to the rest of the Senior School on behalf of the outgoing Year 12 students for supporting us and cooperating in improving the life of the School.

To the Head Master, I thank you for giving me the honour to serve the school as School Captain this year. Your vision for the School is admirable, and I appreciate your support and guidance throughout the year. Thank you to the dedicated staff of Trinity. Your ongoing encouragement and mentorship means a lot to us and there is no doubt each student feels extremely grateful for your contributions.

Before each School Officer begins his official duties, he must embark on the School Officer’s Retreat with the Head Master, at which he encourage us to be committed to serving the School. While at this Camp, one thing struck me about leadership. The Head Master read from Mark 9:35, ‘If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all’. The reason this verse resonated within me is because it is perceived as difficult to be successful or to be recognised when one stays humble and does not promote himself in an age where self-interest is extremely prominent. Often, humility is interpreted as being a sign of weakness and a lack of confidence. However, one can only learn the true meaning of courage when attempting to apply this notion of humility. This year, I have learnt much about leadership, what it means and what you can do with it. Yet, the greatest lesson I have taken from my experience is the power of humility and self-sacrifice and the necessity of courage. We can see the roots of this humility within the school, whether that be in the staff who sacrifice countless hours for the sake of the students or the parents that support us unfailingly or the sportsmen who pass for others to score or the successful academics that attribute their success to the those who helped teach them. There are countless examples of humility in our lives, but it takes more than simply the essence of humility to be present to make a leader. Rather, it takes a whole-hearted dedication to be of service to others and to draw attention unto the strengths of others. It requires courage in order to suppress one’s own individual desires for the benefit of those around us.

On this note, I would like to encourage all those who are going to continue the legacy of the Senior School to seed this element of humility in every action and word and to adopt the mindset that humility takes immense courage, a courage that all of you possess within.

Although my tenure now comes to a close, I will always remember the opportunities provided for me by Trinity and the many relationships I have formed with you all. Thank you for making my time at the School so memorable and for giving me the privilege to serve as your Captain. I see a great deal of potential in each young man who calls himself a Trinitarian, and I believe that you will all realise it yourselves and follow your passions with the courage and humility instilled within you.

DEVELOPMENT OFFICE DEVELOPMENT OFFICE SCHOOL COUNCIL NOTES | SENIOR AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS

On review, 2015 has been an amazing year for the Development Office and the School. The Centenary Aquatic Centre, including stage two, was all but completed, which has allowed our boys the opportunity to use this wonderful facility before the end of the school year. Our swimmers and water polo players have braved the cold weather swimming in outdoor pools while they awaited the time when they could swim and train at School and at a more appropriate time.

Congratulations to all our students who have worked so hard to make this dream a reality and as we have said many times previously, this facility will benefit all students, not only our elite swimmers, water polo players and divers, for indeed it will transform how we deliver our PDHPE programmes in the future.

Before the end of the year the Headmaster and School Council invited our major donors to a special dinner to thank them for the support they have provided the School over the past few years that has allowed this project to be completed. Without the generous support from many families and Old Boys of the School, projects such as the Aquatic Centre would not be possible.

While we have such wonderful facilities at the School, we cannot rest on our laurels. Our Environmental Field Studies Centre is well and truly developing. Situated near Nowra, this site will revolutionise the way we deliver classes in environmental studies, geography and cadet training. This site will allow our students to experience first-hand the diversity of environmental living and working with others on the site.

Other notable events occurred during this year. We invited the Founder’s Boarders back to School for a lunch, tour and a rugby experience. It was wonderful to see and hear some of those former students discuss what the School was like when they attended, how it has changed and the fond memories they have of their time here.

During the Rugby World Cup in England it was an opportune time to hold an Old Boys’ reunion for those living or travelling in the UK. This reunion was well attended and those there were eager to hear about the School’s recent developments.

We meet at the Summer Hill Campus once a term. The day of the meetings alternate with one term meeting on a Tuesday and the following term meeting on a Saturday. Each meeting finishes off with a lovely afternoon tea and a social chat.

Recently, we sponsored a Year 7 boy and paid his enrolment fees. The Trinity Connection also donated $10,000 to the Music Department and $5000 to the Paediatric Ward at the Prince of Wales Hospital.

The Connection also plans occasional day outings. These are generally held during the school holidays. We usually meet at the school and from there are transported in the school bus to our venue. Some of the activities we organised over the past years include: • Captain Cook Coffee Cruise • Old Government House Parramatta • High tea at the EG Waterhouse Camellia Gardens • A private guided tour of Sydney Town Hall followed by lunch at the Swissotel Hotel • Lunch at Armory Wharf overlooking Parramatta River.

The Trinity Connection also organises an Annual General Meeting and hosts an annual Christmas luncheon for all mums.

Overall, 2015 has been a fun filled and fantastic year for the boys in the Boarding House community. I would like to make mention of the sacrifice, Boarding House community.

eLearning @ Trinity - Driving Innovation

‘Tradition and innovation are not mutually exclusive’. A phrase often used by the eLearning team but what does this look like in practice? How does a School with a proud history of more than a century have its sights firmly set on preparing students to take their place in our digital economy?

We believe that celebrating the strong history of our School is critical for our students’ sense of belonging. We are also acutely aware that the world beyond Trinity continues to morph rapidly as a result of digital disruption.

The skill set required by students entering the workforce or further study is vastly different from that required even ten years ago. Digital literacy is no longer something to strive for, it is the bare minimum. Instead employers are looking for digitally fluent candidates who have the dynamism and agility to be part of the solution, whatever the problem.

In 2015, the eLearning department has worked hard to offer platforms tools and experiences that mimic the reality of life beyond Trinity. We have We continue to invest in cutting edge technology to allow our students to grown the eLearning department into a team of three full time staff who experiment and create.

As staff, what we witness with glad hearts is seeing the time characterised with plenty of laughs, a few tears, huge learning transformation when each boy comes to some self-realisation, some opportunities, crafted challenges and magnificent views of coast, waves, insight and appreciation of his family, his peers, his environment. It is rivers and wet sclerophyll forests.

On each occasion, whilst pretty exhausted from “camp”, the boys headed home with so much more left to do and explore on the south coast. Yet it is so characteristic of every Trinity boy returning home to then acknowledge and appreciate and honour the work and care of his Mum and Dad.

Throughout the year we have had great support and interest from Mr Barr and the Head Master, and I also thank the School Council for their trust and diligence as we plan the new centre at Woollamia. This year, we welcomed Rev Phillip Andrew, Mr David Gregory and Mr Andrew Lloyd to the team. They bring some years of expertise and a wealth of experience from across Australia and many parts of the world. I thank them, along with Mr Charlton Kent and Mr Brock Korremans for the dedication, long hours, good humour and steadfastness. I feel blessed to work with such a team and so many good young men, and to have the beautiful south coast as our classroom. “Doing class” outside is such a rich experience, and may our boys consider and act on good stewardship of our planet.

It was a year to remember for the men of Archer house. Whether it was during the annual sporting competitions or our weekly House meetings, the Archer spirit in 2015 was stronger than ever before. Off the back of some well deserved successes over the past few years, the men in red raised our game to heights never before seen, surpassing all expectation.

This year we welcomed a lively, spirited bunch of Year 7s into the House. Their en-thusiasm and involvement in House activities was exceptional and they were a valu-able addition to the Archer House family. Housemaster Mr Christopher Barnes We lived up to our reputation of loud and continuous cheering at the Swimming and Athletics Carnivals. On what were two fantastic days, the passion of Archer House was on show in full force as we competed hard Middle School Housemaster and were strongly competitive in both carnivals. Driven by the inter-house rivalry, it was great to see so many Mrs Christine Daniel hidden talents unearthed. In addition, spurred on by their supportive and encouraging housemates, many boys thrived on the chance to try something new. With strong performances in Cricket, Football, Chess and the Fitness challenge, the boys can be proud of what they have achieved this year. House Tutors Mr Peter Bamford Regardless of success or otherwise, we never failed to come along to House meet-ings keen to reflect on Dr Jonathan Harris the week gone by. It was our most talented athletes that were often first to acknowledge the efforts of their housemates, as we all paused to dis-cuss worthy recipients of the weekly ‘Fletcher of the Week’ award which is Mr Shane Scott given to the boy who has best embodied the Archer House spirit. This award is peer nominat-ed and has always Mrs Jessica Spratt been a special part of the Archer tradition, often extending be-yond sporting or academic achievement. From Ms Alexandra Wood lending some loose change to a housemate in need of a train ticket, to staying back after school to help a boy a few years below with some school work, the multitude of random acts of kindness were proof of not only House Captain the spirit of Archer at full force, but also the quality of man being nurtured within our community. Mitchell Geha I think the way in which we celebrated in each other’s successes was one of the de-fining attributes of the boys in Archer. This selfless attitude was evident throughout all facets of House activities this year, with the House Vice-Captains boys relentlessly going above and be-yond the call of duty to serve their mates. Vice Captains, John Basta (12) John Basta and Alex Connolly (12), led the way in this regard, and I thank them immensely for their ser-vice to the House Alex Connolly this year. This passion was matched only by the generosity of the boys as we endeavoured to serve not only each other, House Colour but the wider community as well. This year we supported Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation – an Australian Red charity rescuing kids from crisis in Vietnam. On top of this, the boys should be congratulated on their response to the Anglicare Can Drive. The good will and generosity of the House was once again on show as we gathered over 280 cans, building the highest tower on quad, in an unof-ficial house challenge. I would like to commend the boys and their parents for a truly overwhelming response to this initiative.

I would like to extend a huge thank you to the staff of Archer House. Mr. Barnes and Mrs. Daniel have been the epitome of pastoral care at Trinity, nurturing our Tutor Group over our time at School. The truly special community in Archer House is and always will be a result of their dedication. Their ongoing investment into us boys from the moment we first lined up at quad in Year 7 is something that we are im-mensely grateful for.

I would also like to thank the Tutors, Dr Harris, Mrs Spratt, Mr Bamford Mr Scott and Miss Wood, for their support and guidance over the years.

To the boys: Thanks for embracing the spirit of Archer house throughout the year. As I hand over to Patrick Barlow (11), it is with full confidence that I say that the vibrant community of Archer House will continue to grow and flourish. It has been an abso-lute pleasure to be part of such a warm and friendly environment, and I wish you all the very best as you continue to grow in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

2015 has been nothing short of a glorious time for Dulwich House. Despite our results through the year being somewhat of a roller-coaster, the commitment and dedication shown from the boys through each of the years has never been an issue. As the house grew in strength through the year, each member of the House has contributed and been nothing less than a vital part of the whole.

The year began and we welcomed our new brothers joining us in Year 7. Despite the brand new experience Housemaster which can be rather intimidating, it took only a few days for the boys to make themselves comfortable and become eager to get involved in the upcoming events. Mr Chris Aschman The first house events of the year were the highly anticipated Swimming and Athletics Carnivals which gave Middle School Housemaster the House the opportunity to work together as a whole whilst strengthening friendships between the boys. Ms Marian Dunbar Despite the belief that the most significant Swimming event each year is the CAS Swimming Championships, the true ‘main’ event of the season lies within the kick board relay at the House Swimming Carnival. This prestigious and heavily sought after event was totally dominated by the Middle School boys in sky blue. This House Tutors incredible achievement not only generated celebratory spirit within the House but also a very happy and Mr Phillip Musgrave excited Housemaster. Extra dedication from our boys allowed Dulwich to remain competitive through the Mr Bill Pratt Swimming Carnival, with special mention to Alexander Clisdell (10) who continuously stepped up through the Ms Therese Turner-Jones day, as well as strong performances from Lewis Dobbin (7), Paddy Martin (10) and Brendan Parry (12). The Athletics Carnival showcased the many physical talents of the boys. Each boy pushed themselves to their limits Mr Bradley Woods for their House. Special mentions go to Monty Hannaford (10), Ben Tanous (8), Jonathan Titmarsh (7) and Lee Mr Mark Worsfold Stothard (12) who all went above and beyond, even in terms of the sky blue standard. On top of these efforts, individual recognition must go to Christopher Wang (12) for his inspirational 1500 metre run. House Captain Alec Sheehy The high standard of Dulwich House could not be upheld without the leadership and support of the House Tutors. The commitment, patience and support to mould every boy to their potential are gifts that the House Tutors deliver year after year. Thank you to Mr Woods, Mr Musgrave, Mr Pratt, Ms Turner-Jones, and Mr House Vice-Captains Worsfold. They have provided the continued commitment that allows the boys to excel. After vital fortnightly Rohan Browning life skills sessions the boys are well equipped to handle some of the challenges that will be presented to them Lee Stothard in our lives. Throughout the year, our Middle School Housemaster, Ms Dunbar, has led the Middle School and the whole House with her joyful and proactive personality and work ethic.

House Colour Although this is Mr Aschman’s first full year as Housemaster, he has shown passion and energy and developed Sky Blue a bond with each individual boy. He makes jokes like he makes friends, all over the place, and I speak for the whole House when I say we have a great appreciation and respect for him and are grateful for all he does.

Our support for our House charity of Daffodil Day continued this year, and for the first time we made the trip to Arlington light rail station on the morning of Daffodil Day. Numerous eager Middle School boys made the trip, and on top of collecting hundreds of dollars at the station we were treated to a hot chocolate on our way back to Trinity.

Another highlight of the year would have to be the house relays in which Dulwich not only won their heats but placed third overall, thanks to fantastic runs from Lee Stothard, Alexander Andreatta (11), David Chan (9) and Harrison Layton (8).

To my fellow sky blue Year 12 boys, Daniel Azzi, Rohan Browning, Alexander Dejanovic, Joseph Fayad, Nathan Kim, Daniel Manogaran, Ken Nguyen, Brendan Parry, Lee Stothard, Samuel Ting, Christopher Wang and Kevin Xu, the last six years have been a pleasure, from not knowing each other at all in Year 7, to becoming the winning house at the Year 11 conference, and now graduating from Trinity together. I believe that you have been fantastic role models for the younger, and at times older boys in the house, and I wish you all the best in the future.

I wish the best for the incoming House Captain, Alexander Andreatta (11), and the Vice Captains, Sidharth Parulekar (11) and Michael Park (11). You are most deserving of the positions and are already fantastic role models and leaders for all who make up Dulwich House.

I would also like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the members of Dulwich House past or present, for making it the House it is today, making it such a fantastic experience for myself and my fellow Year 12’s, and giving me my fondest memories of my time at school.

63 FOUNDER’S HOUSE

To put it simply, Founder’s is not just a House. The Mighty Founder’s, a name coined by House icon, Mrs Inns, is a lot more than that. It is a community that consists of camaraderie, loyalty and culture. The esprit de corps in Founder’s House is prominent, and it allows the young men of the House to set goals and to achieve new heights. In 2015 we were shown the array of talent that the men in the House offer, as well as the connections that the men share with one another.

Housemaster Certainly one of the highlights for Founder’s House in 2015 was “Cover Your Brain Day”, a charity day in which Founder’s partnered with Hilliard to raise awareness for brain conditions, in particular brain cancer. Christopher Mr Brendan Duhigg Lee, an old boy of the house, was tragically diagnosed with a brain condition several years ago, and so this particular charity was very close to the hearts of the young men of Founder’s House. By allowing all staff and Middle School Housemaster students to wear a beanie and donate $5 or $10, we were able to raise awareness and earn over $2,200, the Mr Kenson Low most that has ever been raised in a single charity day, all of which went toward research to fight and prevent these brain conditions. The contributions of our men were extraordinary and heartwarming, and, personally, I am very proud of what the house was able to do. House Tutors Mr Trevor Ackman The Swimming and Athletics Carnivals allowed the young men to demonstrate their aquatic and terrestrial Dr Adam Cole abilities, respectively. Despite the fierce competition the other houses produced, Founder’s exhibited some Mr Mark Hatton-Ward outstanding performances. Although we did not place right at the top of the spectrum, the efforts that the men applied were indisputable and the commitment was remarkable. I would like to commend everyone on Mrs Maryellen Ottaway their efforts, and, in particular, the young men that went on to represent Trinity Grammar School at CAS Ms Christina Vanden Hengel Swimming and CAS Track and Field. Mr David Zhang (Term 1) A series of other events saw the House’s diverse range of prowess demonstrated even further. Touch Football, House Captain Chess, Cricket, Soccer and the inter-house relay were some of the competitions that took place, and, once again, the men demonstrated not only their skill and expertise, but also their house spirit and sensational Harrison Gai enthusiasm. Determination and grit – characteristics that Housemaster Mr Duhigg instilled into the men of Founder’s – were evident throughout these competitions, and it was very pleasurable to see this. 2015 also House Vice-Captains saw the inaugural Quad Challenge where the decorum of the young men was awarded through the exemplary Andrew Berg results that were achieved. Angus Tonkin Personally, a highlight of every week was the House meeting. Always fuelled by humour and passion, the House meetings displayed the thriving relationships of the House members and this is where the fellowship House Colour of the Founder’s community was best showcased. Whether we were graced with performances of students Orange hidden talents or whether we were treated to inspirational stories by Mr Low, House meetings always offered excitement, and for that reason they will always be remembered.

I would like to personally thank each member of the Founder’s House staff: Mr Duhigg, Mr Low, Mr Hatton- Ward, Mr Ackman, Mrs Ottaway, Ms Vanden-Hengel, Dr Cole. Your contributions to the House have been incredible, and your ability to guide the young men of the House has had and will continue to have exceptional effects on the men of Founder’s. On behalf of the entire House, I would like to thank you all for everything.

I would also like to express gratitude to my fellow Year 12 Founder’s House members for all the memories we have created and shared together. We have all spent our time at Trinity Grammar School together, and this special bond that we have shared is something that I will always cherish. In particular, thank you to the House Vice-Captains, Angus Tonkin (12) and Andrew Berg (12), for all your work within the house. Overall, this group of gentlemen has provided the utmost joy and I don’t think any of us will ever forget this.

Finally, I would like to encourage the men of Founder’s who will carry on the legacy, to continue to work hard in achieving the goals that you set. Thank you for your dedication to the house, and I hope everything you do will allow Founder’s House to remain Mighty. Congratulations to Joseph Michael (11), 2016 Founder’s House Captain, and to Tristan Kontonis (11) and Nam Phu (11), 2016 Founder’s House Vice-Captains. In the words of legendary NFL coach Vince Lombardi, “The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, nor a lack of of knowledge, but a lack of will.”

65 HENDERSON HOUSE

After the success of last year, Henderson knew it would be a challenge to maintain such a high standard. They have not disappointed in 2015, with outstanding sporting and academic performances from the boys as a House and as individuals. Yet even greater still, this year has seen a radically growing culture fostered by our Senior School Housemaster, Mr Andrew Payne, and Middle School Housemaster Mr Kai Ikeuchi, which has fuelled the general attitude within the House of every boy having something to contribute.

Housemaster From the outset we knew the inter-house competition was going to be well contested, and our respectable eighth place in the House Track and Field set the benchmark from which we could only improve. There were Mr Andrew Payne strong performances across the year groups, with impressive runs by Kevin Shen (10) and massive throws by Ben LoRusso (10). Middle School Housemaster Mr Kai Ikeuchi The boys competed well in the Swimming Carnival led by the School Swimming Captain, Joshua Simat (12), and Vice-Captain Jake Griffin (12) to place fourth overall. There were also standout performances from Justin Kim (9) and Blake Estell (11). More importantly, most boys swam in a race and we didn’t miss an event. This House Tutors momentum was sustained through the Touch Football in which we had an undefeated run with our own 1st Dr Timothy Barden XV representatives, James Wayland (11) and Terry Pizanias (12), showing their skills with their dominance Mrs Margaret Hanna and coordinated plays. The Year 7’s also played well, with some exceptional moves by Jayden Ayad (7) and Mr Phillip Roser exhilarating pace from Ethan Su (7), which really highlighted the potential of the group. Mr Steven Vazouras We had some tense rounds of House Chess where we saw many individual wins, and a few heart wrenching Mrs Sylvia Wallace draws, but ultimately we couldn’t capitalise on the great efforts of our Chess prodigy, Elliot Ho (10). We did however see a comeback with the House Fitness Challenge, with a massive beep test run by Callum Price (12), House Captain and a great display of stamina by Ethan Hansford (9) in the gym circuit. Dillon Giacoppo It is with great pleasure that I can say Henderson has once again retained the Weremy Shield, a shield contested with our friendly rivals Archer House. We had some very successful rounds with the boys smashing the House Vice-Captains dodgeball and tug of war challenges. I would like to thank Archer House for providing formidable opposition Harry Cobon during numerous House challenges. Callum Price Henderson has also been quietly achieving academically. With some great minds coming through the years, in particular John Choi in Year 7 has been humbly receiving a collection of merits and bronze awards, as well as House Colour receiving a GPA certificate. A number of Year 12 boys such as Jason Fu, Julian Duong and Gerard Wheatley are Gold leading from the front with great marks, which are well deserved from all their hard work.

I would also like to thank the House for their superb work across the many fundraising activities this year. Our Fiesta milkshake stand was once again very popular and our hampers were also a big hit, raising significant amounts of money for worthwhile causes. Our pizza and kebab days were well supported and provide a significant amount of money for the sponsorship of our World Vision child.

These accomplishments would not have been possible without the seamless guidance of our Housemasters and Tutors, Mr Steven Vazouras, Dr Timothy Barden, Mrs Sylvia Wallace, Mr Philip Roser and our new Tutor, Mrs Margaret Hanna. I would also like to thank our Vice-Captains, Harry Cobon (12) and Callum Price (12), for their continued commitment to the House in spite of all of their other demanding school commitments. They were heavily involved in sport, academics and music, but still managed to find the time to strongly support Henderson House.

I wish to congratulate our new House Captain, Joshua Weston (11), and Vice-Captains, Jacob El Masry (11), George Khoury-Harb (11) and James Wayland (11), on their appointment, and wish them the best of luck in continuing the Henderson legacy.

Finally, to all my Year 12 boys: Jordan, Terry, Jake, Josh, Sam, Julian, Jason, Callum, Antony, Harry and Gerard, thank you for all your efforts over the years and I wish you all the best in the future.

67 HILLIARD HOUSE

There has always been something special about being in Hilliard House. I knew it and I felt it from the first day I lined up on Quad in the group with which I would eventually spend the next six years of my Trinity life. As a result of this inseparable bond between these men, the memories will remain with me – and hopefully with them – until the day we meet again.

The magnificent efforts of our predecessors in securing the Cock House Trophy in 2014 was always going to be a difficult task to emulate. I can say without any doubt whatsoever that the efforts put in by the whole House in attempting to secure back-to-back premierships has been nothing short of phenomenal.

The year began in fantastic style with Hilliard pulling off a rare double in the Swimming and Athletics, with what can only be described as dominant performances. To that end, I would like to single out the efforts of my senior Hilliard housemates who not only attended in numbers, but performed above and beyond the call of duty on the day. This provided the perfect platform for the remainder of the year and gave us great confidence moving into the next phase of competition. Also in Term 1, we were involved in Chess and Cricket, where, unfortunately, we were not able to emulate the same stellar results but finished in credible positions in both hard fought contests. Housemaster Mr William Foran Term 2 is a traditionally quiet term where the Senior boys get to focus on their academics. The big House event is Touch Football; whereas in the past Hilliard has been virtually unbeatable, 2015 saw us come back to earth with a thud. Events conspired to work against us fielding our strongest possible combinations each time we Middle School Housemaster went to battle and this, combined with some extraordinary performances by our opposition, meant that we Mr David Chilton were not able to get the result we were after. What it did do, however, was galvanise our resolve to improve and make our mark on the remainder competitions that were left to decide.

House Tutors Term 3 started off with the Fitness Challenge competition, with the men in purple performing well across Mrs Fiona Daniels the field, placing first after the Beep Test round against the other Houses. This continued with the second Mr David Dixon component, the Fitness Relay, where we put together a performance that placed us sixth overall - another Mrs Carol Geddes fantastic effort. With the ‘Tug of War’ competition next to go, the young men were keen and hungry for the Ms Michelle Schlyder win. Coming down to support the Junior boys fiercely compete against the other Houses proved to be helpful, Dr Chris Thanopoulos and the result came down to a strong finish in third place. The final outing involved the return of the Quad Challenge, and, as expected, we finished a distant last place, another outstanding performance under the circumstances. House Captain Anthony Nguyen I would like to commend the boys and staff of Hilliard House for their efforts and performance in the House competitions and giving ‘finishing strong’ a true definition. Hilliard House also fulfilled Mr Bill Foran’s trademark quote that each competition should have ‘at least one boy put his hand up’ for the job. Similarly throughout House Vice-Captains the year, Hilliard House participated in various fundraising ventures, including an initiative where we were able Nicholas Blumor to bring in blankets and give them to the people who needed those most. Our combined ‘Cover Your Brain’ John Morfis Day raised close to $2500. These ventures are indicative of the boys providing a service to those who are less fortunate.

House Colour As the year winds down to a close, Hilliard House is poised to make yet another shot at the title. The remaining Bishop Purple events will no doubt be hard fought and difficult as the opposition looks for any chance to knock us off. All the more reason to rise to the challenge.

Throughout these years in my schooling life, words cannot explain how grateful and privileged I have been to be part of the Hilliard House, a House that gives boys a chance to dive in at any opportunity and mature into young men. Hilliard has been like a second family to me, and I know that the boys in the house are all supportive, as we back each other in any event or occasion.

In addition to this commemorative journey, I would like to acknowledge the Housemasters and Tutors that continue to support and encourage my fellow brothers and me, endlessly, through this tremendous journey. Mr Foran, Mr Dave Chilton, and all the individual Tutors have been great mentors and have given us the opportunity to grow and mature as young men.

This journey couldn’t be completed alone, and I would like to publicly recognise the boys that I have shared the last six years with, beginning our journey together at Attunga in Year 7 with Mr Rod Fitch and building an inseparable bond and brotherhood, finishing up side-by-side in Year 12. This bond brings us together in any event and creates a supportive and positive environment that allows each boy to flourish in his own perspective. My Vice-Captains John Morfis and Nick Blumor, Yianni Amperidis, Chris Biasi, Chris and Blake Artemi, Garox Lee, Alston Jeroff, Jordan Martenstyn, Joseph Harman and Zeph Mccutcheon, (also Bob Shu and Alex Cheney), are beyond grateful and have appreciated all the opportunities that have come before them. It is my sincerest wish that all the boys achieve what they are looking for in the years to come, and I look forward to catching up and monitoring their progress in the future.

Congratulations to incoming leadership team to whom I will hand over the reins. This team consists of to a most capable heir apparent Dimitri Valiotis and his two deputies Alex and Michael Thomas. I can only assume that they will get the same support from their housemates as I was lucky enough to get from mine.

As my last words as Captain of – what I think is the greatest house – Hilliard, Up the Purple Men.

69 HOLWOOD HOUSE

For all involved within Holwood House, another year of prosperity and achievement has been enjoyed in 2015. Largely due to the dedication of the staff, the House environment has enabled students across all year groups to develop within all aspects of school life. This has been a continuing theme throughout my six years within the House and personally, I view the House as a family for which I had the honour to serve.

Holwood experienced great success at the two major inter-house competitions this year. Anthony Klepac (10) and Patrick Kearney (10) set a great example at the Swimming, competing in a multitude of events and earning the House numerous points. Our Year 7s shared this enthusiasm and contributed magnificently to our fourth place finish, which proved our consistency over the past two years as we also finished fourth in Housemaster 2014. At times throughout the carnival we were short on swimmers for certain events and required boys to fill Mr Joe Vaccarella positions, and I was extremely impressed by the way in which the Holwood boys took initiative and competed with great eagerness. The maturity shown by many of the boys was admirable and made Mr Vaccarella’s workload at the carnival a little lighter. This sacrifice and commitment is a growing culture within Holwood Middle School Housemaster House and I am hopeful this commendable trait continues for years to come. At the Track and Field Carnival, Mrs Heidi Broadbent the remarkable performances of Ben Crowhurst (11), Alexander Kolesnikoff (9) and Logan Kaye (8) provided inspiration for the House as we finished tenth in the overall competition, and with a competitive spirit very House Tutors much alive within the house I envisage stronger performances in the upcoming year. However, our success in Mrs Barbara Clarke house competitions went beyond these two events, as our Year 8 to 12 Touch Football team, led astutely by Brendon Bechara (12) and James Ibrahim (12), remained undefeated throughout the competition. The Year Mr Bobby Dimitrievski 7 side also performed courageously throughout their competition and I foresee great improvements for this Mrs Valeria Korjenevski year group in future competitions. In both the House Cricket and Chess I was overwhelmed by the application Mr Andrew Murphy and enthusiasm of the House. In both competitions boys from all year groups within the House willingly Mrs Janet Wonders volunteered, and although the results were not always in our favour I was pleased by the effort and resilience shown by cricketers and chess players. House Captain During our weekly House meetings, we were able to recognise the great achievements of boys within the Zachary Galluzzo House as they excelled within many facets of school life, through the awarding of Holwood Man of the Week. In addition, these meetings provided valuable time to prepare for a number of House activities and discuss House Vice-Captains possible opportunities where the House could get involved in charity and community activities. James Finney During the past year, one specific effort from the boys that I am very proud of is their commitment to the “Can Matthew Najjar Drive” in which boys were asked to contribute cans of food that could be donated to Anglicare. The House was informed of the event at short notice and therefore my expectations for the amount of cans we would House Colour accumulate were low. However, on the day of collection I was astounded by the contributions of the House. Tan Many boys went to great lengths to bring in cans and this resulted in Holwood collecting the third most cans on the day. The House’s charitable efforts on that day was my most memorable moment as House Captain this year as I was taken back by the giving nature of the boys, and I encourage them to continue to draw upon this excellent quality as they progress through life.

The staff members within Holwood deserve enormous praise for their continuing support and effort over the past year. Both the Senior School Housemaster, Mr Vaccarella, and the Middle School Housemaster, Mrs Broadbent, have displayed great patience in dealing with all members of the House and must be thanked for their efforts that have seen us all grow as individuals. Further, the work of the House Tutors has been greatly appreciated as they have assisted both individual and collective development within our respective year groups.

My time within Holwood House has been immensely enjoyable. The House environment made my integration into secondary school life much easier and I have no doubt that my involvement in the House has enhanced my development within the School. I am certain that this a view shared by my fellow outgoing Year 12s as we now find ourselves in a position whereby we can reflect on our years as members of Holwood House.

To Ryan, Jonathon, Brendon, Steve, James, James I, Justin, Matt, Josh, George, David, Callum and Richard, I thank you for your contribution to my life as a Trinitarian. Over the past six years, we have shared some great experiences and have grown to become a tight-knit year group. I wish you the best of luck in your upcoming HSC & IB examinations, and hope you enjoy every success in your future endeavours.

Special thanks must go to my two House Vice-Captains, James Finney (12) and Matthew Najjar (12), who have both been great servants to the House and their leadership qualities have greatly assisted me over the year.

I would like to congratulate Ben Crowhurst (11) on being named House Captain for 2016. Ben is a committed young man, who has already demonstrated great leadership during his time in the House and I am sure he will do a brilliant job. With the assistance of Vice-Captains, Lachlan Rickards-Tang (11) and Max Veltro (11), I am certain that as a leadership group they will all embrace the challenges they are faced with and continue to uphold the high standards and values of Holwood House.

71 KERRIGAN HOUSE

Kim Collins quote, “Strive for continuous improvement, instead of perfection”, epitomises the attitude of Kerrigan House in 2015. A newfound enthusiasm and positive attitude amongst the boys saw the House experience great success in the various competitions throughout the year. This, coupled with the continued excellence that the men of Kerrigan displayed outside of the House arena, led to a very successful year filled with great moments and memories.

Housemaster As the first major competition of the calendar year, the House Swimming Carnival presented an opportunity for Kerrigan to stamp our authority on the house competition. Long seen as the “underdogs” and coming Mrs Anna Giuliani off a 14th place finish last year, expectations from the rest of the School were fairly moderate. Nevertheless, the boys in lime green gave everything they had in both the pool and the stands. Thanks to their enthusiasm Middle School Housemaster and the efforts of students such as Lucas Mundy (10), Nathan Nakhle (9) and Dominic Lopez (7) and of course Mr Philip McKay NSW Breaststroke champion, Nathan Zhu we managed to place second overall in the carnival! This was an extraordinary result that the students and the staff of the House should be proud of.

House Tutors With the thirst for success spreading, Kerrigan rode to victory in the indoor soccer competition, winning all Mr David Lattimer three games behind the skillful play of Luca Kmet (10), Zac Kapetanellis (9) and James Debono (12). This Mr Brian Lyle coupled with strong performances by Ritvik Dinesh (8) and Anthony Younes (12) in cricket and smart play by Mr Stephen McAndrew Dario Kmet (8) and Jason Quach (10) in chess, the House jumped into a top four spot in the overall competition. The House then produced a commendable effort in the Touch Football competition, largely through the fierce Mr Ringo Mok energy and determination of Finn Ritchie (9) and Zac Lawrence (8). Ms Erin Peters At the Athletics carnival, the men of the House performed admirably and in the right spirit. It was a successful House Captain day for Kerrigan House as we managed to improve on last year’s effort despite missing CAS athletes Dean Chris Hart Kaliris (9) and Nathaniel Davies (9) to camp. Josh Seet-Lee (11) and Lachlan Gregory (11) each put in a strong effort, and great performances from Blake Toohey (7) and Riley Smith (12) were amongst the highlights of the day. I would like to thank all those in Kerrigan who helped the carnival to run smoothly. House Vice-Captains James Debono The winter season provided opportunities for Kerrigan boys to display their talents outside of the House. Arvind Gopal Dario Kmet (8) was a member of the 1st IV Tennis and was selected to be a part of the CAS Representative Tennis Team. Michael Eid (7), Blake Toohey (7), Christyon Hayek (8) and Mathew Moore (8) were members of the impressive 13A Rugby team that were undefeated throughout the season. Daniel Chu (8), Monty Guo House Colour and Music vice-captain, Simon Jenson, were valuable members of the School’s many successful bands and Lime Green ensembles. Dominic Lopez (7), Mathew Ng (8), Nathan Zhu (10) and Mathew Moore (8) were a part of Trinity’s victorious CAS Swimming team, a fine achievement given the competition for places. The House did a great job contributing to the community by collecting over 150 cans of food for the Exodus Foundation, the third most by any house. The men of Kerrigan have also continued to work hard in the classroom, with ten boys achieving GPA awards for the first semester.

The time and effort given by the staff in the House has been outstanding. I would like to thank Mrs Peters, Mr McAndrew, Mr Mok, Mr Lyle and Mr Latimer for their commitment to the House as tutors, and I’m confident that the men of the House have benefited from their wisdom. On behalf of the students, I would like to thank the tutors for their dedication, not only to their own year group but also to the House as a whole. I would like to thank our Middle School Housemaster, Mr McKay, for his commitment to the House in 2015. His biblical devotions in house period have provided an opportunity for the men of the House to explore some of the big picture elements of life. Kerrigan Housemaster, Mrs Giuliani’s, unwavering passion and competitiveness have led to a culture change that has emphasised participation and positivity within Kerrigan. Her words of motivation and guidance have greatly assisted me and the House as a whole throughout the year and I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to her.

I would like to thank my fellow Year 12 Kerrigan members for the friendships and memories formed over the past six years as well as the incredible leadership that they have provided within the House. I would particularly like to thank Vice Captains James Debono and Arvind Gopal for their support and contribution in the smooth operation of Kerrigan this year. Congratulations to our incoming House Captain, Noah Nakhle, and Vice Captains, Lachlan Gregory, Joshua Seet-Lee and Riley Smith. I’m confident that Kerrigan will continue to prosper under their leadership and guidance.

Finally, to the men of Kerrigan House. I hope that you continue to cherish the memories that you form as a member of Kerrigan. Ensure that you take advantage of the opportunities that you are given, as you always get out what you put in.

73 LATHAM HOUSE

The ‘Men in Black’ have been an absolute pleasure to lead this year. I witnessed not only fine efforts from the Latham House boys, but immense courage, dedication, support and commitment across all year groups. The results from the various inter-house competitions, in my opinion, do not truly reflect the efforts of our boys, and I am proud to say that the 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 and evolve and continue to surpass expectations, and this year was no exception.

Embracing a somewhat ‘under-dog’ status, Latham House competed in every competition with one goal and one goal only — to do their best. At the House Swimming Carnival, a number of occasions arose where we were short of swimmers and needed boys to step up and fill positions, and I was incredibly impressed with the way in which the boys took initiative and went above and beyond what they were required and expected to do. They were so quick to raise their hands and do their best in the pool that Mrs Bauer was able to sit down Housemaster and actually watch the boys compete; something which I have not seen in my entire six years at this carnival! Mrs Vanessa Bauer This is a growing culture of Latham House that I am extremely proud of, where our boys support each other for the good of the House, sacrificing individual needs. This initiative boosted our position from twelfth place Middle School Housemaster in 2014 to tenth place this year, and is a credit to the efforts shown by all, and the leadership demonstrated by our key swimmers, Oscar Jones (8), Sam Yip (9), Alex Douglas (9) and James Douglas (12). Mr David Davies The House Athletics Carnival saw a similar situation with shortages of men, however it was an incredibly House Tutors enjoyable day, as the jobs of those in charge were made easier by boys stepping up yet again. Our overall Mr John Diakis placing for this carnival was an admirable twelfth, however there is plenty of Track and Field talent developing throughout the house with the likes of boys such as Owen Duke (8), Bill Zhu (8), Louis Banning-Taylor (8) and Mr Ashley Lucas Ross Kyrgias (11). Mr Mark Mikulandra Mrs Elizabeth Murphy The Touch Football was another fantastic effort and the boys were able to showcase a little more athletic Mrs Tabatha Paterson prowess. Since the mighty Year 12s beat Hilliard house in the tug-of-war competition in 2013, I have been Mr George Stefanovic happy to steal a slice of their glory. The Touch Football saw both the Year 7 team and the combined Year 8-12 team beat Hilliard House in exhilarating matches, landing us an overall placing of ninth! Strong-man Pernell Filipo (12), of the 1st XV, led the way with fancy footwork and sharp passes, and promising talent was exposed House Captain from Daniel White (8), Elijah Stojic (8), Ameer Dimeglio (10) and Harry Goldsmith (7). Tom Dickinson Other notable performances in the inter-house competitions included the Tug-of-War and the inaugural Fitness House Vice-Captains Challenge, both designed to separate the boys from the men in terms of athleticism. I saw great camaraderie and team spirit in the Tug-of-War competition from the Latham boys as they heaved in unison, resulting in a James Douglas strong win over Archer House in a Semi-final tug, and placing our boys in ninth place. In the Fitness Challenge Max Peters however, the boys came second overall! The boys truly demonstrated their potential and were rewarded with a fantastic result. House Colour Black One particular effort from the boys I am immensely proud of is their work towards the “Can Drive” in which boys were asked to contribute cans of food that could be donated to Anglicare. They knew that this could be a competition where we could show initiative and contribute to improving the lives of other people that are perhaps not as privileged as ourselves. The overall result was a total of over 250 cans and a placing of second place! My understanding of leadership is that service to others is the best type of leadership, and I truly believe the Men of Latham House displayed this and set an example for others to follow. A special thank you must go to John Dunn (10) who was instrumental in this process.

I am indebted to the efforts of the House Vice-Captains, Max Peters (12) and James Douglas (12), as they shared vital roles in leading the house, and I am grateful for their leadership in being exceptional role models. I also sincerely thank the rest of the Year 12 group for both their friendship throughout the years and their leadership this year. Also, congratulations to the incoming leadership team consisting of House Captain, Reece Sekulovski (11), and the Vice-Captains, Benjamin Li (11) and Jarryd Fernandes (11). I have no doubt these exceptional young men will lead the House to bigger and better things in 2016.

Many thanks must go to House Tutors, Mrs Elizabeth Murphy, Mr John Diakis, Mr George Stefanovic, Mrs Tabatha Patterson, Mr Mark Mikulandra, Mr Ashley Lucas, Middle School Housemaster, Mr David Davies, and last but not least, Latham Housemaster, Mrs Vanessa Bauer. I would like to extend my gratitude to Mrs Bauer especially, and thank her for her continual support and mentorship throughout the past six years. She has been a significant role model for both myself and the rest of the boys of Latham House, and I would like to thank her for her inspiring work as the House’s leader.

Finally, I would like to thank all of the boys 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 am optimistic that you will all continue to become better men who contribute greatly in all facets of life.

And remember, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” - Martin Luther King.

Farewell and all the best.

75 MURPHY HOUSE

It is well known that the colour of Murphy House comes in various shades of khaki, but the boys this year have continued to work together through thick and thin, proving that despite the different coloured House shirts, we are all part of one big family. With Murphy coming second in the House Competition last year, and first the year before, we have been fighting hard to remain at the top.

Fresh new talent has made its way into the pools as our Year 7 boys dominated the House Swimming Housemaster Competition with Garry Koshnitsky (7) and Nicholas Bakopoulos (7) leading the pack. These efforts were mirrored by our Seniors who effortlessly glided past their opponents, including Austin Fong (11), Isaac Law Ms Sabine Wieczorek (12) and Harry McLennan (12) only to name a few. The participation from boys in both the individual and relay events throughout the day resulted in a remarkable fifth place. Middle School Housemaster Mr Ian Moran The House Track and Field is always an enjoyable day as the Murphy boys battle it out in strenuous events. The cheering and support from the stands encouraged our boys to push themselves to run faster, jump higher and throw further than they could ever have imagined. The boys in Years 7-9 boys were exceptional on the day House Tutors as Aryan Rawal (7), Isaac Wilkins (8), Thomas Spratt (8), Josh Borgnolo (8) and Flynn Innes (9) all challenged Mrs Phyllis Bookluck themselves to perform to the best of their abilities. Likewise, all the Senior boys impressively displayed their Mr Bruce Duffy dominance on the day. Some highlights were Siddh Rawal (10), Christopher Monaha (10), Nakul Kaushik Mr Danny Nguyen (10), Mackenzie Roberts (10), Luke Borgnolo (11), Nicholas Chan (11), James Doumanis (12), David Barbati (12), Scott Jackson (12), Hamish Kadrian (12) and Callum Smith (12). These boys and many more contributed Ms Jennifer Nixon greatly to a respectable seventh place finish. Special mention goes to Ryan Paget (11) who, in spite of injuries, Mr James St Julian heroically stepped up to the occasion as he determinedly volunteered for a number of events, revealing his true character and love for the House. House Captain Theodore Kouventaris The Indoor Soccer was a highlight this year as the team showed an impressive amount of agility and precision. The Monaha brothers Christopher and William (11) were a force to be reckoned with. Anyone thinking about taking on these two next year should think again. Teamwork is also important when it comes down to the House Vice-Captains Touch Footy Competition which obviously gave Murphy the upper hand. The team included Ryan Longville (11) James Doumanis who brought his phenomenal 1st XV Rugby skills to the game. Isaac Law Coming first in the Chess last year put the pressure on for this year’s Murphy boys, who unfortunately struggled with the absence of some quality ex-Murphy members. Nevertheless, with the help of Remo Pascale (11), we House Colour put up a fight that can’t go unnoticed. At the same time, Murphy was faced with tough competition in the Khaki House Cricket. Jack Bermingham (8) and Nicholas Chan, however, showed no mercy through their power and dexterity.

The boys of Murphy prove day in and day out that they can achieve anything they put their minds to. This is reflected in the outstanding results of both the Quad Challenge and the Fitness Challenge, in which we came second in both. Whether they are demonstrating their physical prowess in the gym or displaying their punctuality around the Quadrangle, the boys consistently strive to be the best they can be.

The dedication and commitment of every single Murphy boy shows a level of maturity beyond their years. A prime example of this is when they selflessly sacrifice their time every year to help raise money for The Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal. The boys gave up a Sunday, that many others would spend with their families, to generously help this worthy cause. After hours of walking from door to door, Murphy raised around $6,800 and should be commended for their willingness to think of others before themselves. I would like to thank the Tutors and parents for helping out during the day and with the counting of the all money collected.

During my years in Murphy House, I have had the privilege of getting to know the wonderful House Tutors, Mr James St Julian, Mrs Phyllis Bookluck, Mr Danny Nguyen and Mr Bruce Duffy, who have all been very approachable throughout the years and have contributed to an enjoyable time at Trinity. Ms Jennifer Nixon, our Year 12 Tutor, has consistently given up her own time to help the boys. Our weekly life skills sessions will be greatly missed. I would like to acknowledge all the effort that the Middle School House Master Mr Bill Moran has put into the house. He has been a role model to whom all the boys look up. Finally, on behalf of all the boys in Murphy, and especially the Year 12 students, I would like to thank our Housemaster Madame Sabine Wieczorek, who continuously strives to bring out the best in every Murphy boy. Murphy would crumble if it wasn’t for her passion, love and support.

To the Murphy boys in Year 12, I would like to wish you all the best for the future. You have made me the person I am today, and I will cherish the memories we have created together for the rest of my life.

77 SCHOOL HOUSE

“Agamus Pro Viribus” – In everything you do give of your best. 2015 has been a prominent year for many of the young men within School House, with both boarders and day boys alike inspiring each other to live and learn proudly, gifted by the sanctity of our House motto that kindly guides us through our days here at Trinity Grammar. The vast amount of determination, enthusiasm and sacrifice shown by our House leadership team has been immensely outstanding. Commendation goes to to Eugene Chow (12) and Masilo Tomai (12) who have willingly involved themselves within House activities and House routines such as roll mark and Housemaster House meetings. We would also like to make mention of the sacrifices and determination displayed by our Housemasters and House Tutors, Mr Fitch and Mr Gray, Mr Humphries, Mr Miller, Mr Wood, Mr Wrench, Mr Mr Rodney Fitch Simos and Mr Kesby. The gentlemen of School House have endeavoured and prospered thanks to the efforts of our teaching and learning staff who generously donate their time to take care of the boys and to help them Middle School Housemaster mature into the future leaders of the School. Mr Luke Gray 2015 has brought us some fond and favourable memories, the likes of which include those the boys of the House were able to create at our first inter-house competition, the House Swimming Carnival. The men of House Tutors School House were keen and eager to swim a few laps around Kerrigan and Latham Houses. The dominant Mr Arch Humphries force of the House originated from our array of CAS representative swimmers: James Traiforos (12), Angus Mr Don Kesby McDonald (8) and Anton Markovic (7) who broke through the normal boundaries. The boys managed to place Mr Matthew Miller themselves in twelfth position which was a great achievement. Mr Andrew Simos 2015 showed great promise in the smaller inter-house competition activities.The House Soccer was a Mr Peter Wrench momentous occasion that lead to the House taking fourth place on the competition ladder. William Piras (11), Jason Kim (10), and Alec Silins (8) should be commended for their extraordinary efforts displayed throughout House Captains each Football match. Aaron Burland (12) has to receive an honourable mention as he was our key impact Scotland Alexander player, defending and saving goals left, right and centre throughout the rounds he played. Joseph Tauvasa The House Cricket brought out hidden talent never seen before in our men. We saw peak, athletic performances from John Stapleton (12), Angus McDonald, Aaron Burland, Jason Kim and significant contributions from the House Vice-Captains other young men who participated. A special mention should go to Anuj Aloysius (11) for the way he brought Eugene Chow his 1st XI cricketing skills to the pitch. The House Chess was dominated early by Vikesh Rasanayakam (12) in Masilo Tomai round 1. Later rounds saw the participation of other eager School House gentleman. Once again School House was able to assert their dominance on the field in the House Touch Football for both the whole House and Year 7 competitions. The Year 8-12 House Touch Footy left us at a staggering sixth place position within the House Colour competition. Our boys fought valiantly, securing a great number of wins, but a few too many losses as the Royal Blue House progressed through the rounds. Special mention should go to Ned Hatton-Ward (9), Luca Hatton-Ward (11), Ricky Chan (9), John Stapleton, Jason Kim, Robert Agarobe Jnr, Angus McDonald and Oliver Buchanan (8). The Year 7 Touch Football saw the momentous roar of our youngest boys who played at their absolute best, placing themselves fourth in the competition.

Our Next major inter-house competition was the House Track and Field Carnival. The values of our House were truly reflected in a day of heart-pumping athleticism. The boys were more than determined to show Hilliard and Latham that School House was the master of the track. It was especially encouraging to witness the men of the House participate in events they hadn’t tried before, filling the positions of boys that weren’t able to make it on the day. Special mention should go to Rory Ding (11) for his contribution to the House, opting to run in five events.

All in all, 2015 has proven to be an eventful, exciting and high-yielding experience for School House as they have accepted and accomplished every challenge that has been set before them. As the Year 12 boys look forward to their next step in life, they will look back on their time at Trinity and in School House. We would like to Congratulate James Li (11) and William Piras (11) on their appointment as Co-Captains of School House for 2016. We wish them all the very best for the coming year and we know that the House will be in very good hands. In addition we would like to congratulate Lucas Traiforos (11) and Paul Orphanides (11) on their appointments as School House Vice Captains for 2016. We have every faith that these men will lead and guide the boys of School House with the wisdom and guidance that they possess. “Agamus Pro Viribus” In all you do give of your best.

79 STEPHENSON HOUSE

As our house motto: Vires in fraternitate - strength in brotherhood suggests, the men of Stephenson House continue to pride themselves in camaraderie and fair sportsmanship. 2015 has been a great year for the Stephenson brotherhood. Among the countless outstanding individual performances, combined House efforts and unforgettable events grew a thriving and vibrant House spirit.

The unity of the House could be observed from the start of the academic year at the House Swimming Housemaster Championships. Despite the number of sick and injured on the day, the willingness of the fit to cover events short of swimmers was both courageous and a testament to the selflessness of the boys. In particular, the Year Mr Michael Spratt 11 group, who were short of swimmers on the day, managed to organise and cover their own races and still manage to comply with the rules, contributing to the respectable overall seventh place result. Middle School Housemaster Mr Andrea Folli (acting) In the House Track and Field Championships, a fine performance across the all the year groups was displayed. Although our modest eighth place finishing, the final race of the day, the Year 12 medley relay, served to instil an upmost sense of pride in our House. The medley team, consisting of Hamish Weiss (12), Oliver Hoare (12), House Tutors Julius Truong (12), and Lachlan Andrews (12) managed to establish an astounding lead ahead of the rest, Mr Michael Leadbeatter comfortably securing an easy win! Mr Leslie Rogerson Mr Paul Stenhouse Throughout the year, the multitude of House events presented a fair share of challenges. From Nick Sullivan’s (11) dazzling footwork in the Indoor Soccer, to Austin Waugh’s (10) huge swings in the Cricket, to Angus Mr Lachlan White Iceton’s (12) perceptive strategies in the Chess, all competitors showed a diverse display of talent. Most Mr Adam Wood importantly, teamwork was the key to overall outcome, as demonstrated by the Year 7 Touch Football team guided by Nick Plessas (11). Just as important as the competitors performing in the challenges, the great House Captain support from those in the stands was crucial to the synergy of the House. Victor Wei One of my most memorable experiences was during the Fiesta last year when Stephenson successfully ran the lemonade stand and assisted in the Asian food-stores. Throughout the day, the eagerness of all those involved House Vice-Captains to sell lemonade in the summer heat was an inspirational sight. Likewise, our annual charity Loud Shirt Day Lachlan Andrews was also completed in a benevolent fashion as always, splattering the School in colour to support children with Derrick Tran hearing impairment. There are a number of individual achievements in 2015 which deserve particular acknowledgment. Individuals House Colour such as Frank Constantinidis (8), who won the title of Judo Champion at the national level; David Carreon Turquoise (9), for being selected as the concert master of the Sydney Youth Orchestra Philharmonic for 2015; Harris Vlahopolous (10), for a commendable performance in Rugby throughout the year and selection in the CAS U16s South Harbour team; and lastly our very own Captain of Cross Country, Oliver Hoare (12), whose sporting prowess would not go unheard of in any given fortnight, and includes winning the Australian Cross Country Championships and receiving the 2015 Pierre de Coubertin Award.

To our Housemasters, Mr Spratt and Mr Folli, on behalf of House I thank you for the inspiration and guidance you have given to us over the years in everything from train stories to rants (I mean lessons) about wearing hoodies. Thank you to all the Tutors past and present, including Mr Leadbeatter, Mr Stenhouse, Mr White, and Mr Rogerson for your unfaltering support in our lives both within and out of Trinity. Without the life skills you have taught us throughout the years we would not be the men we are today.

I would also like to give a colossal thank you to the Stephenson Vice-captains, Lachlan Andrews (12) and Derrick Tran (12), and trusty House monitor, William Bonaccorso (11), for your service this year.

Similarly to the Peer Support leaders, Iwan Daniels (11) and Nick Sullivan (11), Peer Mediator, Jiawei Mei (11), and Prefects, Andrew Das (12) and Oliver Hoare, thank you all for the fine example you have set for the younger boys. To my fellow Year 12s, I am sincerely grateful to each and every one of them for being outstanding leaders in the House irrespective of title or involvement. It has been an honour to lead the House this year with this exceptional group of blokes.

My best wishes go to the incoming House Captain, Antony Bonaccorso (11), and Vice Captains, Jiawei Mei (11) and Iwan Daniels (11). I trust that under your diligent servant leadership the mighty turquoise will continue to prosper and succeed.

Finally I wish all the best for the young men of Stephenson House in the upcoming year. May the House continue to flourish in its endeavours, and thank you all for the blessing of a year.

81 TAUBMAN HOUSE

Taubman house has continued to build upon strong foundations under the tutelage of our dedicated and ever-supportive staff. We are indebted to our Tutors, Mr Simon Bootle, Ms Ami Liu, Mr Andreas Mickler, Mrs Alison Klein and Mr Andrew Del Riccio, our Middle School Housemaster, Mr Ben Treloar, and Housemaster, Mr Andrew Pierce. Currently on leave is one of our most treasured Tutors, Ms Amanda Scott. We have missed her greatly. In an effort to lift her spirits, the young men of the house have performed some of her favourite songs (well, they were favourites before we got to them), and through the assistance of Mr Daniels and the AV team, Housemaster videos were made for her. In the process, we might have uncovered some talent, but we really hope that it has brought some joy to help her with a difficult journey. We all keep her in our prayers. Mr Andrew Pierce Under the guidance of Mr Pierce and Mr Treloar, the House of Taubman has performed strongly for a second Middle School Housemaster year in the inter-house competitions. Third place in the House Swimming Championships, second place in Mr Ben Treloar Track and Field, the Cricket and Touch Footy, and first place in the Chess and Tug-O-War have positioned us well overall.

House Tutors We also celebrated the achievements of the young men of the House in their cultural pursuits, and in CAS and Mr Simon Bootle CIS competitions, over a wide range of sporting and intellectual endeavours. Achievements beyond the school Mr Andrew Del Riccio level include state, national and international level competitions. Mrs Alison Klein As I reflect on my time at Trinity, I have to acknowledge that it has shaped my values and my character. The Miss Ami Liu range of cultural, sporting and intellectual opportunities on offer are truly extraordinary, and we are readily Mr Andreas Mickler encouraged to give them all a go. If there is one small piece of advice I would hazard to offer, it would be make Ms Amanda Scott the most of these opportunities while you can.

Also, I would like to sincerely thank Mr Andrew Pierce and Austin Lau Mr Ben Treloar for their ongoing dedication to the House. I would like to congratulate the incoming House Captain, Paul Raptis (11), as he will discover the challenging, yet rewarding task ahead with his Vice Captains, House Vice-Captains Calvin Fong (11) and Julian Dimas (11).

83 WEEKS HOUSE

The boys in mid blue have been an absolute pleasure to lead this year. I was able to observe the Weeks boys growing as a unit, bonding together, supporting one another at large events, and committing to and organising events for fundraising.

Weeks House is rather unique compared to the other houses in the School in terms of our charitable efforts. We sponsor two young boys through Compassion Australia, allowing them to become part of the Weeks Housemaster House extended family as we support them. Through various fundraising efforts including a gelato stall and a sausage sizzle, we were able to raise over $2000 for the boys. This will be able to provide them with a greater Mr Matthew Hirst quality of life which would be unobtainable without the financial support we provide. Without the help of my Vice-Captains and support from all the boys in the House, these events would not be as successful as they Middle School Housemaster have been. Mrs Heather Bootle Weeks has slowly been climbing the points ladder and this is a true testimony to the enthusiasm and commitment the boys have been putting into the House. Over my six years in Weeks, I have been able to House Tutors watch the House grow and transform, performing and exceeding my expectations. Mr David Brereton Mr Bradley Bulger (Term 1) 2015 proved to be a fantastic year in terms of improving results in the inter-house competitions. With the Mr William Campbell (Term 2-4) talented addition of our Year 7s, we were able to achieve a commendable eleventh place in the Swimming Carnival. A fine tradition that Weeks holds is the valiant first place finishing in the 12x25m house relay, pipping Mr William Henry our opponents. Special mention goes to Kai Young (7), Ben Blades (7), Ryan Hansen (8), Declan Heim (10) and Ms Tania Mason Adam Emanuelli (12) for their efforts throughout the carnival. We also improved significantly upon last year’s Mr Chris Robinson Track and Field Carnival result, placing at a strong thirteenth, staying consistent with our Swimming result. Special mention should go to Louis Tanner (10) and Jason Doric (10) for their participation on the day. This House Captain proves the strong depth the boys in mid blue have attained, being able to perform both on land and in the sea. Marcus Trevena Apart from these two major inter-house challenges, we competed very commendably in both the House Cricket and House Chess. We came away with an outstanding third place in the House Cricket which is a House Vice-Captains remarkable achievement. A very special mention goes to Liam Scott (9) for his outstanding efforts with the bat, Rishab Bhargava scoring 60+ runs in one innings, and his efforts with the bowling. In the House Chess we placed a very strong Kieran Chu fifth place, halving our placing last year. Special mention should go to Ken Zhang (10) for his performances during the competition.

House Colour There have been many great triumphs as a collective House, but there are some boys who deserve special Mid Blue individual recognition. Andrew Kim (9) performed exceptionally with his clarinet, winning the Open Woodwind Solo, Woodwind Solo U14 and the Woodwind/Brass Jazz U14 at the Ryde Eisteddfod. Matt Langham (10) also achieved exceptionally, playing two games in the 1st XV Rugby at such a young age. Liam Scott (9) also had an exceptional season in the 1st XI Cricket, proving to be a valuable member of the team.

On behalf of all the boys of the House, I would like to thank all of the House Tutors, Ms Mason, Mr Henry, Mr Brereton, Mr Robinson and the recent addition of Mr Campbell. We are always grateful for your guidance and help throughout the year. However, a very special thanks must go to Mrs Bootle, for putting the wind in the sails of the Middle School students, and to Mr Hirst, the Weeks House Housemaster, spear-heading the Weeks House crew. Their hard work in organising the House, running events and contributing several hours of their working week into the House has been greatly appreciated and felt by all. Without the Tutors and Housemaster the Weeks House fire would not burn as brightly as it has done this year.

To my fellow Year 12 Students, I would like to thank you all immensely for your friendship and supportive attitude throughout the past six years. I hope that we can all stay close after our years at Trinity, and I wish you all the best in future endeavours and studies. I would like to give special thanks to my fellow Vice-Captains, Rishab Bhargava and Kieran Chu. I couldn’t have asked for better Vice-Captains to help me run the House.

To the young men of Weeks House, look forward to the strong legacy you will be carrying on in 2016 and countless years to come. Enjoy your years at Trinity as these are memories and friendships that last a lifetime.

85 WILSON HOGG HOUSE

‘In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets’. This quote, by famous writer C.S. Lewis, clearly depicts the Wilson Hogg cohort of 2015. It illustrates the tireless efforts made by all members of the house to make 2015 a year to remember.

As I reflect on my time as House Captain, I possess not a single regret. It has been an exhilarating experience Housemaster that has opened my eyes to see the benefits of leading a group of your closest mates. It has provided me with an opportunity to develop as a person and appreciate the unique qualities of every individual within the house. Mr Guy Dennis Wilson Hogg in 2015 has had the privilege of being directed by the dedicated and always reliable Mr Guy Middle School Housemaster Dennis (Senior School Housemaster) and Mr James Martin (Middle School Housemaster). Personally, and on Mr James Martin behalf of the boys, I would like to thank both these staff members for their professionalism and friendly nature. Without their endless support and genuine care for each member of the house, the values Wilson Hogg possesses would cease to exist. House Tutors Mr Daniel Chu In the traditional and annual inter-house competitions, Wilson Hogg placed in the top half for both Swimming Ms Daphne Kao and Track and Field. This is a testament to the boys’ dedication and House spirit, as never once was a lane Mr Mark Oakley left unoccupied or field event unattended. Additionally, Wilson Hogg posed a threat in all other House Mr Alexander Simpson Competitions, securing top six finishes in Cricket, Chess and Soccer. Mrs Maria Thanos (Term 2-4) Undeniably, the strength of Wilson Hogg lies within the academic aspects of school life. 2015 was no different, Mrs Tasia Vomvellis (Term 1) with a number of boys securing GPA awards. The achievements of these boys would have not been possible without the help of the tutors, who, throughout the year, always encouraged and motivated the boys to reach House Captain their full potential. James Webb This year’s end brings mixed emotions for the Year 12 students in Wilson Hogg. Both excited by the prospect of graduating and taking a step into the real world, a predominant number of these boys are rather sad about House Vice-Captains leaving. During my time as Captain, and as a member of Wilson Hogg, I have grown to know each Year 12 Matthew Gleeson student individually. Their positive attitude and willingness to set the right example for the younger boys has Peter Pertsoulis been rather heartening. This dedication and encouragement aided me throughout my time, and on behalf of the house I would like to thank all the Year 12 Wilson Hogg members. My appreciation further extends to the House Vice Captains and School Officers of the House – Peter Pertsoulis (12), Matthew Gleeson (12) and House Colour Harrison Gregory (12). Also, thank you to all the staff for their constant dedication to the House and their Grey endless hours spent to further assist us with our studies, especially Mr Mark Oakley who has been with us from Day 1 in Year 7.

I would like to acknowledge Dimitri Koutoulas’ (11) appointment as House Captain for 2016, aided by Michael Amin (11), Cameron Fawcett (11) and Lewis Jupp (11), all of which have accepted the challenge to be House Vice Captains as the Class of 2015 departs. The future looks bright. Finally, to the men of Wilson Hogg, your commitment, enthusiasm and friendship are the underlying factors that have made this year one of enjoyment and delight for us in Year 12. I wish all you God’s blessing and every success in your days at Trinity and beyond.

Let the Wilson Hogg House motto stand central to your lives – ‘Seize every opportunity, live with no regrets, but with faith in ourselves and God overhead’.

87 WYNN JONES HOUSE

Throughout my time at Trinity it has been an absolute pleasure to be part of Wynn Jones. The boys, whether they be in their final years at the school or just starting, have always been supportive of each other, producing an ever encouraging house spirit. This was clearly evident as we progressed through 2015.

2015 saw the introduction of the Pink Panther as the mascot for Wynn Jones in the inter house competition. This boosted House spirit for the senior boys and sparked the interest of those in Middle School. We performed Housemaster reasonably well in the Swimming, but exceeded our expectations in the Track and Field, placing fifth. This was a vast improvement over last year’s result and was without doubt due to the increased commitment towards Mr Mark Waters the House from the boys this year. This commitment was easily observable in other House Competitions such as the Cricket, Touch Footy, fitness challenge and Indoor Soccer. Most notably though, was the House’s Middle School Housemaster undefeated record in the Chess (now two years in a row). Special commendation must be given to Jordan Mr Jed Hogan Gupta (8), pushing the envelope in regards to commitment and involvement as he competed in all areas of House competition this year.

House Tutors Wynn Jones was also home to many outstanding individual achievements in 2015. We had four boys in the Mr Steve Collins 1st VI Volleyball sides: Soren Tan (12), Angus Webster (11), Will O’Brien (11), and Tom Mackenzie (10). Tom Mr Stephen Foster even managed to play both a 10As Basketball game and 1st VI Volleyball game on Saturdays throughout the Ms Michelle Glaznieks summer, frequently receiving mentions in the Head Master’s Bulletin for his prowess in both sports. I, too, was privileged to play in a first side, with the 1st XI Cricket team in the summer. Liam Rasch (11) represented the Mr Brett Lammiman school in the 1st XV Rugby side and was also selected in the NSW Waratahs Gen Blue program which identifies Mr Daniel Tkacz young talented rugby players that have the potential to be Waratahs of the future. Jordan Kery (10) was selected in the 1st XI Football side and was selected for the CAS team. Another stand out personal achiever House Captain this year has been Carl Coorey-Ewings (11). Carl has, through consistent and determined training, in a short Aiden Davies space of time managed to develop his sprinting abilities to become the second fastest boy in the School over 100m. Cooper Chambers (10) also represented the CAS at the CIS Diving Championships. In academic matters the achievements of Benjamin Davies (10) deserve acknowledgement. As well as remarkable School results he House Vice-Captain has performed exceptionally well in a number of external competitions, even participating in the invitation-only Alan Dursun Australian Intermediate Mathematics Olympiad. Alex Zong Many boys in Wynn Jones took part in the performances by the School’s senior music ensembles at the Gala Concert this year. Mark (8) and Gabor Agyagasi (10) both played in the Symphony Orchestra, along with House Colour Jeffrey Li (7). Meanwhile, Matthew Boyce (7), Jake Keogh (7), Dillon Srikumar (8), and Thomas Hallworth (10) Bishop Pink all sang in the choir, with both Matthew and Thomas also playing in the Orchestra. Angus Webster (11) and Oliver Arkell (9) both participated in the Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Wind Band performances. Also, Benjamin Davies (10) and Carl Coorey-Ewings (11) played in both the Symphonic Wind Band and Big Band. These boys must be commended for their dedication to their music and their roles in these senior ensembles. It was my pleasure to play alongside them in the Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Wind Band and to watch those in the other groups. Jeffrey Li was even part of the School’s Serenata Strings, winners of the City of Sydney Eisteddfod School Strings Under 19 competition.

The efforts of Darcy Edwards (9), our Year 9 Monitor, as a spectacular role model for the Middle School boys have been outstanding. Furthermore, our Year 11 Peer Support Leaders, Carl Coorey-Ewings and Keegan Street (11), have done a remarkable job of mentoring the Year 7 boys, also setting a fine example in collaboration with the Year 7 Tutor and new member to the House this year, Ms Michelle Glaznieks. I would also like to personally thank the other Year 12 House leaders – Prefects, Ravi Dutta (12) and Soren Tan (12), as well as House Vice-Captains, Alan Dursun (12) and Alex Zong (12), for their initiative and willingness to help in any situation.

Congratulations to Carl Coorey-Ewings on being named the Wynn Jones House Captain and Prefect for 2016. Congratulations also to 2016 House Vice-Captains, Andrew Makram (11) and Travis Fleming (11), and Prefects, Keegan Street and Angus Webster. I have absolutely no doubt that these young men will lead the House next year with the highest distinction, and that, backed with a strong, determined and committed House cohort, they will achieve great success.

As a penultimate note, I would like to thank the Tutors of Wynn Jones House for their continued support of the boys, and also Middle School Housemaster Mr Jed Hogan and Housemaster Mr Mark Waters for their tireless work in making Wynn Jones better tomorrow than it is today.

I wish the 2016 Wynn Jones leadership team and housemates all the best as they continue their pursuits at Trinity as part of this great pink house that it has been such an honour to be part of. It is my hope that my fellow housemates will all make the most of the opportunities Trinity has to offer them to grow in mind, body and spirit. It is truly a place in which we grow from boys to men, and I, on behalf of Year 12 Wynn Jones ‘men’, express our gratitude for the nurturing and encouragement given to us by our House Family.

89 YOUNG HOUSE

The year 2015 has seen many thrive within Young House and throughout the School, through persistent hard work and dedication in both individual and collective forums. With the irreplaceable guidance of the Housemasters Mr Terry Haywood and Ms Rosey Stuart, and the Young House Tutors, the men of the House have thoroughly enjoyed the last twelve months and the success that each individual member and the House as a whole has achieved. It has been a privilege to be part of this House, during my time at Trinity, where I have always been accepted and encouraged to strive for my best. This is a true reflection of the supportive environment created by the close-knit nature of a House-based group.

The House competitions are fiercely contested each year and 2015 was no exception. The spirit within Young House during these events was truly commendable as the boys worked collectively and cohesively, to produce some admirable results. Starting with the annual Swimming Championships, Young House finished in a solid sixth place, only missing out on a top five finish by a couple of points. Although this form could not be carried through to the House Track and Field Championships, and Young House finished in sixteenth place. The scoreboard did not display our true potential nor the courage displayed by the boys, who did not leave a single event uncontested. House Vice-Captain, and leading CAS Track field team member, Edward Dynasty (12), led Housemaster the way as Harrison Barden (9), James Newton (12), Christopher Screnci (8), and Isaac Barden (11) all performed valiantly. The Track and Field carnival also saw the debut of the new mascot, the Young House Dragon, which Mr Terry Haywood was a comical and welcomed addition to the event. Thanks must go to Middle School Housemaster, Ms Stewart, for organising the suit. Middle School Housemaster Ms Rosey Stewart The Year 7 Touch Footy competition was again hotly contested and, although we finished in the middle half of the table, the Young House boys performed well above expectations and were always keen to get onto the field. Even our more reserved boys needed to be calmed down from time to time. These performances, along House Tutors with other House competitions, including House Cricket, Chess, fitness challenge, Indoor Football, and quad Mr Edward Habkouk challenge certainly exemplify our competitive spirit and the sense of camaraderie we enjoy. Across these many Mr Alistair Hunt House challenges, Hugo Miller (10) and Ben Newall (7) were always willing participants. The House Relays Mr Andrew Lane provided one of Young House’s best results as the team of Ben Cassen (12), Ryan Scott (9), Matthew Yazbeck (9), and Hugo Miller (11) won their heat and progressed to the final in which they finished an outstanding Mr David R. Latimer fourth. With academic results still to be counted, Young House is in a strong position to finish 2015 with a Mr Justin McGrath respectable placing.

House Captain Young House has always felt like more than just a group of individuals. Standing together at quad assembly Matthew Price every morning and coming together every Thursday for the whole House meeting, the bonds in our House were stronger than ever. In particular, the Young House spirit was embodied in the enthusiasm of the Year 7 students, with Harry Driessen (7), James Park (7), Gene Marantos (7), Thomas Holland (7), and Ronald Tam (7), House Vice-Captains always eager to get involved. This is a great credit to our Peer Support Leaders, Harrison Page (11) and Dean Edward Dynasty Panos (11), who personified the welcoming environment encouraged in Young House. James Newton Andy Yin We really came together as a House when raising money for charity, as we continued to support Noah, our sponsor child in the Philippines through enjoyable kebab days. In addition, Joshua Mitchell (10), Luke Asnicar (10), and Rushad Parekh (10), serving as members of the Year 10 Charity and Community Committee, were House Colour always fundraising for events around the School. Maroon In regard to the various successes we have experienced throughout the year, it is appropriate that I mention those men of Young House who have achieved commendable sporting achievements. We were once again represented well in the CAS Swimming and Diving teams, with Tom Jin (7), Luke Asnicar (10), and Hugo Miller (11) competing in the Swimming team, and Ashton Forster (7) in the Diving team. In CAS Track and Field we were equally well represented by Kordell Payne (year 10), Mitchell Moschatos (11), Isaac Barden (11), and Edward Dynasty (12). We were also represented in the School’s CAS first teams with Harrison Page (11) in the CAS Football 1st XI and Kordell Payne (10) in the Rugby 1st XV, who were key players in an outstanding season for both winter sports.

Young House has a strong representation in niche School activities. In sporting events, Matthew Bull (12) and I competed in Snow Sports, with Matt’s remarkable podium finishes being precursors to his upcoming participation in World Junior Championships in Romania next year. In Intellectual competitions the boys (most notably our Year 8s) were part of Trinity’s “Da Vinci Décathlon” team.

It is commonly accepted that everything “is what you make of it”. In addition to the staff of the House, I would like to publicly acknowledge the boys that I have shared the past five years with, and commend them for their eagerness to engage with each other and to create an environment that has been positive and has contributed to the well-being of each of us. To Matthew Bull, Ben Cassen, James Driessen (12), Edward Dynasty (Vice- Captain), James Newton (Vice-Captain), Will Studley (12), Arnold Tam (12), Roy Xu (12), Raymond Wang (12) and Andy Yin (12) (Vice-Captain), I say that I have wholly enjoyed getting to know each of you, and wish you the best for your life after Trinity.

Congratulations to the House Captain of 2016, Stacey Marantos. Stacey is a young man who will undoubtedly serve Young House with unselfish, servant leadership and assist each boy to reach his full potential. As will the House Vice-Captains, Harrison Page and Hugo Miller. I am certain the House will continue to succeed under the guidance of these three young men, who are fine role models. With a strong foundation that has been established in past years, the men of Young House will continue to reach the exceptional standards they aspire to and will no doubt continue to grow under the fine leadership of Mr. Haywood and Ms Stewart. I wish the best of luck to you all.

91 ACTIVITIES MASTER’S REPORT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY

2015 has seen another great year for Co-curricular as Trinity Grammar School continues to offer a broad spectrum of activities. The large array of activities that students are involved in, often at exciting levels, assists boys in improving themselves. By immersing themselves in the Co-curricular programme, students can gain insights, develop and improve skills, learn to lead and gain confidence. Each week, stimulating activities are on offer, designed to appeal to a broad section of boys. This broad offering of Co-curricular activities, in conjunction with the academic and sporting commitments, makes Trinity Grammar School a busy place.

Being busy means you are always learning and developing, keeping your mind switched on and, subsequently, growing as a person. If boys are busy doing a number of different activities, such as learning a new skill, building relationships, or gaining a fresh understanding, they are continually stretching themselves, pushing boundaries and learning more about themselves. Being busy helps students learn how to prioritise, to organise and to find efficient and effective ways of completing tasks. By doing this, boys are well prepared for life after Trinity.

Our Music programme continues to excel, this year seeming to raise the bar again with more inspiring performances. The combined Choir performance at the brilliant Gala Concert brought large numbers of ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY boys across the School together in a magnificent performance, including a wonderful rendition of Land of Hope and Glory. Brian Kim (10WH) Left to Right Mr James St Julian, Jesse John, Matthew Gleeson, continues to perform at a phenomenal level, making it a pleasure to watch Christopher Lo, Dr Jonathan Harris and hear each time he plays his flute in performance. Other highlights were watching the Marching Band play their Daft Punk compilation on the quadrangle, something that appealed to all who listened, along with MIC Dr Jonathan Harris the win by the Serenata Strings in the City of Sydney Eisteddfod. The Trinity Archaeological Society has again lived up to its accolade Trinity’s largest activity, Cadets, continued their progress under the as the first Australian high school community of its type. Under the leadership of CO Dr Heath De Lany and SUO Matthew Price (12Yo). The leadership of Dr. Jonathan Harris, our weekly ritual sees the gathering unit had a number of successful activities and camps across the year. of voracious intellectuals around the famous Harkness seminar table in Boys involved in public remembrance services on ANZAC Day continue to the History Department, to study valuable remnants of humankind’s past. impress, particularly so in the new Balmain Dawn Service.

The performance in front of the South Sydney discoveries were always seized upon, with the discovery of the remains of administration team, including CEO Nick Pappas (exquisitely played by King Richard III a highlight of the year.

Further to this, our School had representation by the Society in Mooting and Considering the leaps and bounds shown in the progress made since Mock Trial. 2014, who knows what the Trinity Archaeological Society will achieve in 2016! Once again, another great Service Week was undertaken in Term 1, where a number of new initiatives were embarked upon in conjunction with Christopher Lo (11La) | Secretary General, TGS Archaeological Society many of the regular annual events. The new activities for 2015 included Year 7 boys attending Myuna Bay on Lake Macquarie, Year 10 boys attending the challenging Camp Somerset on the Colo River and Berea heading to Armidale, along with new service opportunities in conjunction with the Salvation Army and Wesley Mission. Congratulations to all for what was a great week!

As Activities Master, it has been fantastic for me to watch all boys participate in the full spectrum of weekly activities. As noted previously, the performance of boys under the tutoring and mentoring of hard- working staff has been highly creditable. Each boy is encouraged to ‘get busy’ in Co-curricular, for such involvement will help in developing his mind and personality, and, even more so, prepare for life after school.

A highlight of the week for the boys in Alpha and Bravo Companies this year was the overnight activity. Boys took part in a navigation exercise requiring them to ascend Brokenback Ridge and make camp for the night. The manner in which the activity was undertaken this year was super efficient. Our Tier 3 cadets, those who have been promoted to NCOs or to CUOs, are given a challenging environment to work in as they seek to understand how to care for, teach and mentor younger teenage boys. The leadership opportunities the older boys are given in this context are unequalled in other contexts.

CUOs in charge of a platoon have some very real responsibilities as they are accountable for the safety and wellbeing of up to twenty-five younger cadets twenty-four hours a day for five days. To become proficient in this role is no simple feat. The boys can be rightly pleased with their achievements and be confident that the experience will serve them well as they prepare to take on management and leadership roles later in life.

Ceremonial Parade

LTCOL(AAC) David Major was the Inspecting Officer at the parade this year. He has had a long affiliation with the School through his role as the Commanding Officer of the NSW Australian Army Cadets. It was indeed a pleasure to have him visit us, and his comments regarding leadership, mateship and esprit de’corp were very apt. The boys performed admirably in sometimes quite trying circumstances and sent the outgoing Year 12 boys out on a real high.

Dining In Night

LTCOL Michelle Ager was our very special guest for the Dining In Night this year. She spoke of her experiences in the Army as a woman and talked specifically about the leadership opportunities that have arisen with her time in defence. It was indeed a convivial evening where 130 people filled the Dining Hall on a lovely evening in June. The President of the Mess, CUO(AAC) Matthew Price (12Yo), and Mister Vice CUO(AAC) Edward Dynasty (12Yo) performed their tasks with distinction and candour. All in all it was a lovely way to farewell the Year Ashfield ANZAC Ceremony 12 boys after five years of committed service to the Army Cadet Unit.

Conclusion

At the end of my first full year commanding the Unit Iam appreciative of the work of the staff who support me. Staff involved in this amazing co-curricular activity give a lot of their time to the service of the Unit. All of them are to be acknowledged for their dedicated service.

I would also like to commend the leadership of the senior cadets. For Year 12 students, taking on the challenges of cadet leadership is significant. A highlight for me this year was witnessing the ‘cadet executive’. Our SUO, Matthew Price, ably assisted by CUO James Douglas (12La), who was posted as our Executive Officer, provided outstanding caring and insightful leadership. WO1 Austin Lau (12Ta) and CUO Ryan Atherton (11Ho) also contributed to the cadet headquarters group in their respective rolls as RSM and Training Officer. These four boys have set a very high standard of cadet leadership.

It is a privilege to continue to serve the cadet unit as Officer Commanding.

The aim of the Ecological Awareness Group is to raise interest in students in regards to Australian environments and the flora and fauna that live in them. The focus this year has been on aquaculture and terrestrial habitats. Students have set up tanks and terrariums with native vertebrates and invertebrates including: Snakehead Gudgeons, Empire Gudgeons, Australian Rainbowfish, Jade Perch, Pygmy Bearded Dragons, Green Tree Frogs, Giant Burrowing Cockroaches and Spiny Leaf Insects.

In the coming months, our attention will shift to the greenhouse where we hope to propagate select species of native plants found in the Woollamia area where our Field Studies Centre is being constructed. Students have researched the area using the online Living Atlas site and then have sourced seeds from Australian suppliers. The greenhouse irrigation system is being upgraded and additional propagation benches have been purchased and assembled by the students. Mrs Urania Sideris and I see this Co-curricular as a way of encouraging students to take a responsible interest in the Australian environment now and into the future.

Students meet up one lunch time every week. This year has revolved around examining articles, current affairs and our 2015-16 budget to draw parallels between Economic theory (covered in textbooks) with its real world applications. This has been particularly helpful to IB and HSC candidates who now have a broader understanding of the relevance of Economics. To supplement this, the students invited a Professor of Economics from Wollongong University and formulated a series of questions around his speciality of India’s economy. Many students were cooperative and interactive in asking questions and taking notes, using a secondary insight that is nonetheless useful for layering theory with data and examples.

The small band of twenty fishermen met on Wednesday and Friday lunchtimes this year to discuss fishing strategies and make the necessary tackle items in order to boost the chances of some unlikely characters bringing home a feed of local seafood delights. The members’ first task was to fashion an estuary float from balsa, bamboo, cotton and aluminium wire. Most boys managed this in just a few sessions but the symmetry varied considerably, and it was evident that the practical skills of the group showed a large standard deviation. Most of the group learnt how to prepare and sample a feast of local sardines and taste the delights of smoked tailor dip. The major project was the construction of a carbon fibre fishing rod which should take about ten hours of delicate gluing and binding work. This task proved to very straight forward for boys such as George Khoury–Harb (11He), Henry Kim (11He), Anthony Nguyen (12Hi), Tommy Nguyen (12Ar) and James Mayers (11WJ).

The Japan Club once again played host to the interests of those boys at Trinity enamoured of all things Japanese. In Semester 1, students experienced Japanese culture through participation in various activities. They tried both traditional and modern games, listened to pop music and watched an episode of the latest anime. They also folded paper cranes as a gift to the visiting rugby team from Kwansei Gakuin Senior High School in late July. In Semester 2, the boys furthered their appreciation and understanding of Japan by researching various aspects of Japanese culture, the results of which they turned into group presentations. They also tried their skill at Japanese calligraphy and were introduced to the Japanese martial art of Judo. By taking part in this Co-curricular activity, the boys have gained a deeper understanding of the culture of one of the most important countries in the region.

professional flair. But as we reflect upon the values of these competitions, CAPTAIN’S REPORT DIRECTOR OF MUSIC | SENIOR AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS it should be noted here that these competitions are not meant for boys to only focus on winning. Essentially, these competitions are to provide boys with an invaluable opportunity to gain experience and feedback that can ultimately shape them into better musicians.

This year also saw the recently introduced Student Composition Concert, where works composed by students of all year groups were showcased and performed. The standard of composition and performance by the boys was truly exceptional, and the evening proved to be a great success. Audience members and students were particularly delighted by the wide variety of musical styles present in the students’ compositions, which ranged from ethnic to Baroque to modern to electronic and even to K-Pop. Many thanks must go to Mrs Sylvia Wallace and Dr Andrée Greenwell for not only organising the concert, but also for dedicating so much of their time and effort to polish the students’ compositions.

This year also featured the colossal sixth Gala Concert held at the City Recital Hall Angel Place. The Gala Concert showcased the most elite ensembles in Trinity’s Music Programme, including the Symphonic Wind Band, conducted by Mr Chris Aschman, the Sinfonietta, an elite string group under the direction of Ms Kate Morgan, the Big Band coached by Mr William Henry and the Chapel Choir and Orchestra, both under the direction of Mr Philip Pratt. This year also featured a Combined Primary Choir, led by Mrs Sally Ortega. In the Recital Hall of Angel Place, coupled with the increasing expectations of the Trinity Music cohort, the Gala Concert did not disappoint. Special mention must go to the Symphonic Wind Band, playing ‘The Main Theme’ from Star Wars by John Williams, which helped set the exciting atmosphere of the evening and even evoked the audience’s nostalgia. Praise also extends to the Sinfonietta and the Big Band, both displaying highly technical solos by the boys in Gala Concert every piece. The Combined Primary Choir should also be commended for their lovely and heartrending rendition of ‘Inscription of Hope’ by Z. Randall Stroope.

It’s great to see so many in developing and refining the God-given talent of Trinity’s young Middle School musicians in Senior ensembles such as the Symphonic Wind musicians. As we reflect on our achievements so far this year and the sad Band and the Symphony Orchestra. This is a testament to their musical departures of our Senior musicians, let us look forward to the continuing abilities as performers and it also highlights the increasing standards of the success of the Music cohort, which surely will captivate and inspire for Music Department as a cohort. However, one should keep in mind that years to come. humble beginnings are just as important and crucial in developing a good understanding of music performance. The 2015 Middle School Concert Eugene Chow (12Sc) and John Park (12St) | Co-Captain’s of Music Series and the regular Instrumental Studio Concerts, in particular, created invaluable opportunities for younger musicians to perform for their parents and friends. These concerts showcased the great progress being made and all should be commended for their continuing achievements as developing musicians.

It should be no surprise to Trinity musicians that the annual Soloist Competition and the Concerto Competition are two of the most highly anticipated and contested events in the school calendar. Again, this year showcased the boys’ incredible talents to perform and communicate musically. It was great to see so many boys across all year groups put forth their names and compete in the respective two competitions. In Term 4 2014’s Concerto Competition, David Carreon (9St) and Brian Kim (10WH) won the Middle School and the Senior School prizes respectively, and both should be congratulated on their display of musical maturity and sensitivity.

CELLO ENSEMBLE

The Cello Ensemble lost its leader, who graduated last year, but has continued its high standard of performances in 2015 under the tutelage of Mrs Ludmila Palmer. The ensemble has maintained the depth and difficulty of its repertoire. It is a group of talented performers, including Daniel Chu (8Ke), who has demonstrated solid technique and a mature sense of musicality. Thomas Hallworth (10WJ) has been the steady core of our ensemble since his development into a fine cellist. It is pleasing to see Calvin Li (9Ar) developing and beginning to display the temperament and character of a future leader. The reliability of James Verykios (11Hi) and his rich sound is something that should not go unnoticed; it has been and will continue to be a pleasure to work with him. The growth of the ensemble as a whole and the opportunity to watch each individual member flourish has been a delight for me to witness. I look forward to my last year performing with the group. Of course, none of this would have been possible if it had not been for Mrs Palmer. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the time and effort she has put into our group, and I’m sure 2016 will be another fine year for the Cello Ensemble.

The Guitar Ensemble meets once a week to work productively to produce a number of songs. We have covered artists such as Bon Jovi, Gotye and Maroon 5, and frequently extend ourselves by composing our own music. We play a number of different styles, including finger-style guitar on acoustic guitar where we play in parts, and rock band arrangements, where we play electric and bass guitars, as well as the keyboard and drum kit. Furthermore we aim to stylise modern “techno” music into an arrangement and composition more suitable for guitar playing. Under the guidance of Mr Andrew Troy, we are encouraged to enthusiastically learn new skills that improve not only our instrumental ability, but also our teamwork. This initiates a strong bond among members of the ensemble, and healthy cross- cohort relationships. We also learn the etiquette and protocols of the industry, such as how to put away guitar leads!

PERCUSSION ENSEMBLE

The Percussion Ensemble is a group of approximately ten members who rehearse on Tuesday lunchtimes under the direction of Ms Kaylie Dunstan. We have been active since 2014 and are experienced in a variety of percussion instruments. We play different styles of music ranging from classical to pop. The members are from the Intermediate Concert Band, and this ensemble gives members a chance to develop their musical skills so they can play not only in band but also as a group themselves. This means that we play musical instruments and novelty percussion. Novelty percussion instruments are ordinary objects that can be used in a variety of ways to produce a beat and rhythm to create a musical piece. Currently we are using plastic buckets with drumsticks. When playing these, we hit different parts of the bucket to create different sounds at different pitches. This requires us to work together in sync and mirror each other’s movements to add to the quality of the performance. All of the members thoroughly enjoy playing novelty percussion because it is a creative way to play. Before this, our group had been working on pieces played in band or our own music. One of these was a piece called ‘Conga’ and was a tune that involved an upbeat rhythm. This group provides opportunities for those who don’t receive music lessons to progress as musicians and improve their skills.

MIC Mr Justin McGrath SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA | ORATORY SENIOR AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS

2015 has been a triumphant year for Oratory at Trinity. The boys have experienced great success across a range of competitions and have undoubtedly elevated the standard and reputation of the Society.

The Lawrence Campbell Oratory competition is widely regarded as the most prestigious and difficult of the New South Wales Public Speaking Competitions. Each candidate is required to give a speech of eight minutes in length on one of three topics given to him or her fifteen minutes beforehand. Despite facing stiff competition from a range of strong orators across New South Wales, our captain Alexander Connolly (12Ar), was the victor of the competition with a thought-provoking speech on complexity and simplicity. This distinguished prize has been awarded previously to great Trinitarians such as Max Bonnell (‘79), Max Wood (‘91) and Jeremy Bell (‘98).

Another competition in which the Society performed well was the NSW Plain English Speaking Competition, where our representative Neil Lu (10Fo) was a regional finalist. He spoke on ‘The Age of Disbelief’, particularly on the growing fear of scientific understanding amongst the present generation, in the prepared speech section. He also performed admirably in the unprepared section.

The finals for the 71st OTU Oratory Competition were a resounding success, and each speaker should be commended for their excellent performances. Each division had a separate impromptu topic that challenged the boys to think outside the box. In the Junior Division, speaking on the topic of ‘Explore, Dream, Discover’, Nicholas Bouletos (8Mu) was named the winner, with admirable commendations going to Aidan Tharmarajah (8WH) and Samuel Gorman (8Hi). The Intermediate Division was won by Nicholas Pavic (9La), speaking on the topic of ‘Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened’, with Neil Lu (10Yo) and Alexander Ciarroni (9WJ) as close runners-up. The Senior Division was fiercely competitive this year. The boys spoke on the fascinating topic of ‘If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything’. Despite delivering a riveting speech, Andrew Das (12St) was a deserved runner-up to the winner, Alexander Connolly (12Ar), who, unsurprisingly, delivered a stunning oration.

I would like to personally congratulate all members of the Debating and Oratory Societies for their remarkable efforts this year. Also, much praise should go to Mr James St. Julian and Mr John Diakis for their terrific management of the Society and the boys. I wish them and the boys good luck in the oncoming years; I’m sure they will accomplish great things.

As a component of the Year 7 Life Skills Programme, two Year 11 students from each house, a total number of thirty-two, are selected on application every year by Housemasters and senior staff to facilitate and present the Peer Support Programme and provide ongoing support to Year 7 students throughout the year.

The programme aims to assist Year 7 students in their transition to secondary school, with Year 11 students helping Year 7 students to develop relationships and a strong sense of belonging to their new school community. It aims to foster the physical, mental and social wellbeing of young students. Key concepts developed in the programme include orientation around the School, relationships and sense of self, anti-bullying, citizenship, optimism and resilience.

The responsibilities of the Year 11 Peer Support Leaders include attending a leadership training day, 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 Year 7 Touch Football competition, monitoring the Year 7 locker room area 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 experience also provides opportunities for personal development, such as organisational skills and interpersonal skills.

The 2015 Snow Sports season started off very rocky as the mountains lacked the white coating they deserved. Although Thredbo did their best to create some interesting courses with the limited manmade snow that they could hold on to, at times the courses were more like what you would find in a slushy cup rather than a well-packed, nicely-groomed course. These conditions didn’t deter the Trinity boys as they attacked every course without fear. The newcomers to the team included boys from both Trinity campuses, boosting team numbers and consisting of boys from Pre-K through Year 12.

The NSW Championships were held in great snow conditions after a solid dump of 40cm of the freshest stuff early on in the week. Our Snow Sport Cross Country boys did the School very proud by making the podium on several occasions as individuals and as a team. Our Louis McCrohon Division 1 team (boys from Years 11 and 12) did extremely well, raking in seven medals between them. Matthew Bull (12Yo) shone bright in the freestyle event, even as he was tactically taken out and put into a fence early in the race; this didn’t stop him from getting straight back up and getting on with it. He was well and truly at the back of the pack with a 400m spread between himself and first place. Yet the ‘Raging Bull’ was determined to get back to the front and absolutely mowed down the pack to take the top spot by an incredible margin. Matthew Price (12Yo) and Enzo Lee Solano (10Sc) also contributed well within the Division 1 events as their efforts saw them take out third place as a team in both the Freestyle and Relay. Both Kristian Dahan (9Hi) and Louis McCrohon (4Hi) raced well in their snowboarding events. Kristian Dahan continued to progress his riding and held some tight lines through an incredible boarder cross course to claim third place. Kristian also did enough to book a place in the Boarder Giant Slalom.

The five boys representing the School at the NSW State Championships all qualified to race at the Australian Championships held in Mt Buller. The Cross Country boys continued their podium ways by claiming third in both the Cross Country Relay and Freestyle events. Matthew Bull also raced well, claiming second place individually in the Freestyle event. Our snowboarders strapped in and put in their best but unfortunately were not able to podium at Nationals this year.

Overall it was another successful Snow Sports season as we attained ten medals in total across the three Championships. The team continues to grow and develop, and we look forward to what Mother Nature has install for us next year.

SPORTS EXPERIENCE TRINITY SCIENCE INVESTIGATORS

Sports experience continues to be a popular Co-curricular activity at While not one of the largest extra-curricular activities within the School, Trinity Grammar School. Each Friday afternoon, more than forty boys Science Investigators would still have to be one of the most engaged in Years 10-12 experienced a range of sports. These included Indoor of all the activities. Comprised of any interested students from any Football, Ultimate Frisbee, Basketball, Dodgeball, Indoor Cricket and the year within the School, it meets to design, try, experiment, explain and ever popular Touch Football. The sports were played with a competing decipher the intricacies of how the world works. The purpose of the nature, and it was pleasing to observe a high level of sportsmanship. It Science Investigators is not to look at Science as an isolated and insular was also pleasing to see boys working in different teams of varying ages activity, but to show how Science is a component part of many other and skill levels. Thank you to all boys for their terrific contribution to the aspects of life around us. To this end, many of the activities done this Sports Experience programme. Thank you also to the staff, Mrs Anna year have been integrated with the other non-scientific disciplines within Giuliani, Mr Bruce Duffy and Dr Adam Cole, for their active supervision the School, such as History, Archaeology and Art. While the activities and involvement in Sports Experience each week. were fun to do, the underlying understanding of the science behind the activity was their greatest benefit. Some highlights of the year were a Mr David Brereton | MIC Sports Experience continuation of our mummification experiment, where our Pharaohic bananas were still uncorrupted nine months after being prepared for the afterlife. The success of this experiment gave us the impetus to try our hand at animal mummification, and the success of our efforts will be revealed sometime in the future. The creation of iron gall ink, as used by the mediaeval scholars in writing their parchments showed the difficulties of even simple tasks in the past. The workings of the brain were explored in mirror reversal experiments, leading to a great deal of frustration in many students, and much mirth and merriment in others. The historical side of technology was done through inspection of once everyday items which have now, alas, become extinct. (Some very interesting guesses as to the original use of the items made the older staff realise how far we have come in such a short time). One of THE events of the year was our Science Expo, held in the library. The Science Investigators were able to showcase to a much wider audience their own particular experiments, as well as demonstrating fundamental scientific principles through some of the School’s laboratory equipment. The connection between prediction and outcome was entertainingly shown by a bevy of bungee-jumping Barbie dolls, all of which survived their leap of faith from the top of the Design Centre. The year concluded with the creation of some plaster fossils, and by harnessing all the creativity one could muster, they were then painted in the most naturalistic manner possible.

All in all, 2015 has been a good year for the group. A lot has been achieved, due in no small part to the enthusiasm of the students and the patience of the staff. It bodes well for Science Investigators in the future, and for Science, in general, at Trinity.

Maryellen Ottaway | Head of Science TRINITY CULTURAL AWARENESS GROUP

This year, the Trinity Cultural Awareness group continued with its goal of the celebration and inclusion of all of the different cultural groups within our community. The group organized several very successful events, which brought the School together in celebration of our differences. One of these events was the annual Harmony Day, designed to raise awareness around the themes of ‘inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone’. To achieve this end, the students decided to design wristbands in support of Bully Free Australia and issued these at Quad Assembly to every single Trinity student. We hoped this might spark conversation at School and at home. We followed this with a stirring Welcome to Country performed by Aunty Cathy from the Cadigal People of the Eora Nation. Lunchtime was filled with the smells of a traditional Aussie barbeque and the sounds of international music as Trinity musicians performed a wide range of cultural music in Compass Courtyard. One of the highlights was a short video produced by the more artistic members of the Co-curricular, who created a very funny and throughout-provoking look at the quirks and unique flavours of our wonderful diversity. Apart from this festival of inclusion, the group also raised over $2,000 for the Ti Tree School literacy programme. The boys also put in place plans for a Wall of Hands in the Library to raise awareness and funds for the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation who believe that ‘being able to read and write is a basic human right’. This is a group committed to change, and they are learning how to be positive influences on their community and school.

MIC Mr Daniel Tkacz

The Technology Club has been running for three years every Wednesday afternoon with great success.

The Technology Club caters mainly for, but is not restricted to, Year 12 students, who are seeking to expand and refine their skills across all disciplines associated with Technology. These skills are then transferred toward the completion of their HSC Major Design Project.

2015 seemed to be no different to previous years in the Club. There was the usual and somewhat stressful realisation that the HSC Major Project submission date was fast approaching. With this in mind, the boys had a new urgency and dedication for work. Most weeks the evening finish time of 5.00pm was well surpassed as boys and machines morphed into what appeared to be a finely tuned production line of which any high-end manufacturer would be proud. These extended hours would not have been possible without the dedication of Mr Michael Spratt and Mr David Davies who continued to motivate the boys and bring their Major Projects ideas to reality. Vikesh Rasanayakam (12Sc)

The Year 12 Industrial and Design and Technology students worked extremely hard to complete successful projects for 2015. Many hours of commitment both within and outside of class time, coupled with the Technology Club, enabled the boys to get a much needed progressive run at their projects. With deadlines approaching, the boys certainly appreciated the extra time that the Technology Club provided.

With the aid of sophisticated software and technologies such as Computer Aided Drawing (CAD), 3-D Printing and other various workshop machinery, students were able to design and create many projects of the highest quality. Hand-crafted chairs, jewellery boxes and entertainment units were cut, shaped, modified and finished to take pride of place in their intended environments.

With the last of the Major Projects completed, Year 12 students and their teachers could now breathe a sigh of relief. The Technology Club has now returned to a less frantic pace and Year 12 students have moved on to create space for a new generation of designers.

In the New Year, Trinity received the results of the HSC and IB examinations and again Trinity art students received excellent results. While we a little hard done by with one Band 6 in the HSC, we had thirteen Band 5 and 2 Band four students. This was an exceptional result, better than most other subjects by percentage of students getting Band 5 or 6, giving a huge 87% of Visual Arts students a high band result. The IB art students did not disappoint either, as we had some exceptionally gifted artists doing this course and two students got into the 90s with their studio practice. In all we had two very strong Grade 7s and a high Grade 6. Visual Arts may not attract the top academic students at School but the results are top notch, with mostly Band 5 and 6 for HSC and Grade 7 for IB.

In the remaining four matches, the Captain Mark Bastoulis (12Ar) side won all of them, finishing the season with five wins and five losses in the CAS. It was a remarkable turnaround of fortunes, and the side played some very good Cricket to register these victories. The School’s depth was Trinity Cricket had a season of mixed fortunes. The School’s overall tested again this season due to numerous injuries and lack of form, but winning ratio in every CAS match played ended up sitting at 44%.

The School is blessed with top class training facilities, In contrast to the 1st XI, the 2nd XI began the season brightly recording enthusiastic team coaches, as well as the use of specialist coaches, and three wins from their first five matches, but they were unable to continue playing fields that are second to none in the CAS, perhaps even all of their good form throughout the season. The sides’ bowling was definitely Sydney. There are a number of grade cricket clubs that would like to call their strong point. Nicholas Blumor (12Hi) was a consistent performer TGS Number 1 home.

Unfortunately the team never got going with the bat and brand of cricket that can be played on the Number 1 and Number 3 oval. this was the reason why they did not challenge for the premiership. It is now up to the boys to utilise these factors and produce the results on the field. The 3rd XI and 4th XI had very challenging seasons, but it was pleasing to see that so many of the 3rd XI players got a chance to experience The 1st X1’s season began in disastrous fashion.

The Trinity Fencing Team draws from students in Years 11 and 12 and is typically made up of twelve students in the summer season and sixteen in winter. The team trains in foil fencing three times a week under the guidance of our coach Mr Yunus Kurtuluş, an international-level fencer, and of the Masters-in-Charge, Ms Sabine Wieczorek during the summer season and Mr David Latimer in the winter. There are regularly two team competitions in May and August. These competitions, held at the Police Citizens Youth Club at Marrickville, draw competitors from a range of schools, including Sydney Grammar, Newington College, North Sydney Boys High, St Aloysius, and Barker College. A number of these boys have fenced regularly at state and national level. Trinity’s fencers thus always have their work cut out for them when competing. The value of going up against such strong opposition is high, as it makes the year-round training all worthwhile. The knock-out style competitions are challenging and, as such, they really help develop our teamwork.

The 2015 Winter Season was a period of great development for the Trinity team. The influx of new talent was well received by the seniors as they guided the new fencers in learning the ins and outs of fencing. Fencing is a sport requiring balance, agility and certain amount of finesse, qualities on which the team was able to improve over the course of this season. The team most recently in Years 8 through to 10.

The Independent Schools Golf Series drew to a close for the 2014/15 season at Avondale Golf Club. Barker had to content themselves with a share of the spoils at season’s end, as the Knox II team convincingly beat St Ignatius to tie Barker on 74 points. Pleasingly, we were only eight points adrift in third place. However, we did finish the season on a high beating the Knox I team 2 ½ to 1 ½. Ejun Choi played well to win 2 and 1 against Knox’s number one player. Victor Wei continued to smoke the ball from the tee, singeing his opponent in the process, as he won convincingly 3 and 1. Brendan Parry was up early in his contest only to let his match slip away from him a little, but did manage to square it on the last. Luke Henry was not in his best form but still hung in until the 16th before losing 4 and 2.

Victor Wei, Brendan Parry and Luke Henry all played their final game of golf in the ‘Green and White’ this year.

Raw Challenge this year has been profitable for all boys. Despite the struggle of waking up early three times a week, all attendants have been confidently growing in stature, strength and confidence. Every session, students engage in various fitness activities including running, boxing, sprints and calisthenics. Towards the end of the session, either a burning exercise of “bring Sally”, where push-ups sit-ups and squats are done in succession, or a set of skipping is done to complete the workout. Unfortunately our weekly swimming session has been put on hold due to repairs, but hopefully later in the year we can continue to use the facility. Every Saturday, a professional boxing coach, Mr Paul Gretch (Gretchy), comes along and helps train the boys in their physical development. His constant anecdotes and stories provide inspiration for the group as he shows us the correct form and technique used by professional boxers. His cardio workouts challenge all the boys and push them to their limit. I would like to thank Mr Foran and Mr Dennis for taking the place of Mr Moore during his long service leave. Their continuing support throughout the year has made a significant contribution to the sport and its students.

Finesse, fitness and style were again the catch phrases of Summer Swimming this year. Added to this was the ever present challenge to continually improve times for each stroke and over varying distances. Over 150 boys from Year 7 to 12 trained twice a week and competed against their best times each Saturday. The overall focus of this sport is to work towards developing a healthy life skill that can be maintained well into the future. As with past years, the dedication and determination demonstrated by the boys was very impressive. Each of them witnessed their times fall in the various races and competitions held.

It was a very difficult task choosing the individuals to receive the award for Best and Fairest and Most Improved this year, as so many demonstrated the qualities sought after. After much discussion about each individual in regards to their promptness to training and the grit and determination they demonstrated, in addition to the scrutinising of the time sheets, the following received the awards:

Saturday races were now held in three lanes instead of the usual eight, forcing us to be a little more creative than usual in the kinds of events we could run practically.

Nevertheless, adopting a ‘glass half full’ attitude, the boys certainly learned resilience and within a few weeks we had achieved a new chemistry. We weathered a cavalcade of low temperatures and cold winds, as if we were training for an English Channel crossing. Yet our short sessions pushed the boys even harder to swim efficiently and with few breaks. Many who were poor swimmers at the beginning of the season had developed a far more confident style by the end, even in more demanding strokes such as butterfly.

While the vast majority of swimmers made a consistent effort, a few made a special impression due to their skill or commitment.

The powerhouse of Table Tennis this year was undoubtedly Kiran Eswaran (12Ke) and Isaac Law (12Mu) whose advanced skills at the game made it a pleasure to watch them play. Isaac, a left- hander with, believe it or not, a German (!) background, plays a mind-bogglingly fast forehand topspin, and Kiran boasts a no-fuss, slam-it-in-the-far-left-corner forehand which, as if not deadly enough by itself, is combined with a steady, nigh-impenetrable backhand block. It was not much of a surprise, therefore, that these two were our medallists at the NSW Table Tennis Schoolboys Challenge in May, coming equal third in a strong field of schools with State players in their ranks.

Trinity Athletic Club competed in the final two rounds of the season during the holiday break. The overall turn out during the holidays was truly remarkable and showed the passion and dedication of all involved. Trinity Athletic Club is one of the smaller clubs in the Athletics NSW competition; with just eight-one members (compared to the big clubs in excess of 500+ members), we certainly bat well above our weight. The final results are below:

A fantastic result. All categories have improved our overall placing this season and a very well-deserved congratulations to all involved in the Trinity Athletics Club.

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

highlights the importance of our students struggling and becoming comfortable with the process of setting and working towards individual learning goals that are beyond their current comfort zone. John Hattie, Professor of Education at the University of Melbourne, has conducted a meta-analysis of over 800 studies related to the effectiveness of factors influencing learning. He reports that the single most significant influence on learning is ‘teacher(s) finding out…the student’s expectations and pushing the learner to exceed these expectations’.

In essence, we want our students to become comfortable with aiming high enough that they will inevitably fail – but not forever. The process of failing should prompt reflection and assist in the learning process. We want boys to realise that challenging work, work that forces them to struggle, presents an opportunity for new and authentic learning.

As teachers, we understand that this learning journey is only possible through the partnership we share with parents. Together we have the same commitment to develop our boys in Mind, Body and Spirit; to create a well-rounded Christian education that allows every boy to experience the joy of learning across all facets of life. This is supported by the International Baccalaureate’s Learner Profile that highlights ten attributes, that together, we are seeking to develop in our boys: inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced, reflective.

Some of the particular learning highlights from this year have been:

On behalf of the teachers and boys, I want to take the opportunity to Chris Wyatt | Master of the Preparatory School express my sincere thanks to the parents of the Preparatory School. We are blessed to work alongside such a supportive and encouraging School community. I would particularly like to thank the Auxiliary, led brilliantly by Elizabeth McMullen and her Executive team. The strong sense of community that our School enjoys is a reflection of the work that so many parents do behind the scenes to build positive relationships and to organise class and School events.

2015 has been a fantastic year for all of the students at the Preparatory School. I have been so impressed by the strong sense of care and empathy that our boys have for one another and the respect they have for their teachers and other adults in the community. This truly is what it means to be a Trinitarian!

I would particularly like to acknowledge the boys of Year 6 as they finish their time at the Preparatory School and embark on the exciting (and perhaps slightly daunting) journey that awaits them at Summer Hill or other high schools. As a whole grade, Year 6 have set a fine example for their younger peers at the Preparatory School – it is going to be difficult to follow!

Another great part the Year 6 program is Buddies. In case you don’t know, this is when we are assigned a boy in Kindergarten who will be our buddy for the year. We go down to their classroom every week and join them in an activity, whether it be inside or out. The Year 6 students are big mentors and influence the Kindergarten boys life and time at Trinity. This program could not be possible without the co-ordination from the teachers.

An exciting new initiative this year, was the Year 5 boys being given the opportunity to become Arrival Buddies. One day a week they stand out on the Kiss and Ride line, and when a Kindergarten or Year 1 student arrives, an Arrival Buddy takes them to their bag area. This is great preparation for School leaders next year and combined with the existing buddy program, is further contributing to building strong relationships with younger students. Thanks to all the teachers who helped coordinate this program.

Another new initiative this year involved two School Officers hosting Chapel every Tuesday. Students enjoyed the look back on the week with our segment ‘The Week That Was’, and all the leadership team found it a highlight of being a School Leader this year. Thanks to Mr Smith who steered us through the whole process

There were various sporting tours this year, with our Armidale Rugby Tour a great success for everyone involved. The number of players who put their hand up to represent the School in Rugby was so strong that we had to take two teams. Our Trinity Green team was undefeated and topped our division. The Trinity White team had a great campaign, with all the boys improving their game. The North Coast Combined Football and Rugby Tour was also a highlight and a good chance for the Prep and Junior School to get together and showcase their Football and Rugby skills in Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie and the Hunter Valley.

Stuart Smith | Preparatory School Chaplain CIA (Christians in Action) was run over three lunchtimes, with Years 3 and 4 meeting on Monday, Years 5 and 6 on Wednesday and a combined group on Thursday. With an enthusiastic group of boys keen to be boys, our challenge was to find a balance between exploring God’s word and sharing in fellowship together. As they continue to grow, we aim to help them discover how to apply God’s word to their lives at School, at home and everywhere they go. It is a constant encouragement to hear how boys are wrestling with what it means to live a Christian life in the year 2015.

Every year, the boys in Years 3 to 6 head off to camp for a week of exploration, discovery and excitement. An integral part of each camp is the opportunity to discover more of God’s wonderful kingdom and to hear His word explained by the leaders on the camps. The boys experience the joyful perspective of committed Christians from Anglican Youthworks and Crusaders, whose desire is to share the love of Jesus as well as their lives. This passion resonates in all the activities and provides each boy with a personal opportunity to reflect on how God is at work in the lives of people everywhere, not just at School.

The Chapel Monitors for 2015 were James Kaye (5Hi), Justin Karam (5Sc), Jake Varone (5Hi), Joshua Ming (5Hi), Emmanuel Abdel-Nour (5Ar) and Simon Helidoniotis (5Hi). The monitors were responsible for the set and running of the primary and infants Chapel services, along with their involvement in the family services and other aspects that supported the Christian Mission of the school. They displayed amazing flexibility and resourcefulness in the many different ways we ran Chapel throughout the year.

We are blessed to be living in a country where we have what we need in our day to day lives. In keeping with our Christian mission to serve and provide for

We have introduced themes to our library, such as Star Wars and Dinosaurs, and have provided a range of activities related to the themes for the boys to participate in. Another lunchtime hit has been the construction kits – the boys are having a great time using the materials available to create anything they like, limited only by their imaginations.

This year a total of 41 students completed the NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge. Congratulations to the students who completed their fourth challenge – Lachlan Dang (3Sc), Jaden Fung (3Hi), Stefano Furlan (3Hi), Lachlan Richards (3Sc) and Kevin Tran (3Ar).

The theme for Book Week was ‘Books light up our world’. This year we introduced a colouring in competition for the students in Pre K to Year 2 and a poster competition for those in Years 3 to 6. Our annual Book Week parade was a great success. This year we even had parents joining

as magnetism, buoyancy and air pressure. Their knowledge was on full display at their Expo, open to parents, peers and visiting class groups. The central idea of their next unit was that ‘history provides an insight into cultural and personal identity’. The boys thoroughly enjoyed a visit from the School Archivist, Alsion Doran, who brought with her many interesting artefacts from Trinity’s past. They also visited the Susannah Place Museum in the Rocks, where they were immersed in the stories of the people who lived, worked and played in some of the oldest remaining houses in Sydney. The year drew to a close with a kite flying excursion to Centennial Park, the Year 2 play, ‘Rocks to Rap’, and lunch at a pizzeria - thank you Senora Posega! Over the year, many of the Year 2 boys also eagerly took up the opportunity to be involved in the Trinity Action Group (TAG) and in the co-curricular activities of Chess Club and Taekwondo.

As well as all the great things that have gone on in different grades, the Infants boys also enjoyed many, many events together over this year. For the first time, all the K-2 boys also chose, prepared and presented a poem to their class as part of the Preparatory School’s Poetry Recitation Competition. Finalists from each class presented their poem in Infants Chapel and truly impressed all with their confidence and oral communication skills. The annual Kindy Proms Concert, performed by Mr Pratt and the Senior School Orchestra, did not fail to disappoint. The Infants boys were able to try out big, loud and unusual instruments, and happily sang and danced the morning away. Grandparents’ Days were a big success with Chapel services led by Mr Smith, classroom visits and morning tea in the Somerset Gardens. In June, the boys participated in the Responsible Pet Programme, August saw the Book Week parade and a visit from author, Tim Harris. The Athletics Carnival at Summer Hill in October was a fantastic day once again.

The Infants boys have also enthusiastically supported a number of charity events this year - Good Sports Day, Red Nose Day, Bandanna Day, Jeans for Genes Day, Harmony Day, Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation Christmas Child programme, the School’s Walkathon and regular missionary donations in Chapel. Well done boys!

The boys should be very proud of their efforts and achievements this year. I wish you all a safe and peaceful Christmas surrounded by family and friends.

From assisting, to supporting, to participating in activities involving Archer House throughout the year, both Thomas’ and Emmanuel’s hard work must be commended.

Participation levels of the boys in Archer House during every carnival this year was encouraging, and I would personally like to thank each boy for his effort and commitment throughout the year. Many of the boys participated in numerous events this year and never hesitated when called upon to help out the House in both the sporting and school environment.

Archer House finished fourth in the House Swimming Carnival, fourth in the House Athletics Carnival and fourth in the House Cross Country Carnival. Hopefully the encouraging performances of the boys will only increase the chances of success in the future.

219 PREPARATORY SCHOOL HENDERSON HOUSE

2015 has included many individual and team highlights for Henderson House. In the pool, on the track and the sporting field, Henderson yellow has featured prominently in terms of both participation and on the victory dais. With enthusiastic and committed leadership by House Captain, Theo Christian, and Vice-Captain, Adam Pascale, Henderson has been a strong and supportive voice in the stands, encouraging fellow members and congratulating competitors. At the start of the year, I outlined two key house goals. First, I asked all members to support our leaders and work with them, rather than sit back and expect them to do all the work. Second, I challenged the boys to focus on increasing our participation rate in all events. I am pleased to say that the Hendo boys absolutely rose to the occasion on both counts. They have been a supportive and committed team of risk-takers, willing to challenge themselves and have a go. Our efforts in fundraising have also been outstanding as the Henderson boys worked tirelessly to ensure the success of National Bandana Day on October 30. On the day, the boys sold thousands of bandanas to raise funds and build understanding of the organisation CanTeen. It is heart-warming to witness how giving these boys are in the support of those less fortunate. The Trinity Swimming Carnival at the Homebush Aquatic centre featured several strong contributors in helping Henderson finish only 43 points behind Hilliard. Leading the way were Age Champions Ian Hong (6) (Under 11s) and Lachlan Chung (4) (Under 10s). Representative honours went to Theo Christian (6), Lachlan Chung, Euan Germanos (6), Ian Hong, Jeffrey Housemaster Huang (3), James Huang (5), Lewis Potter (5), Justin Wang (5) and Justin C. Wang (5)(Preparatory School Swim Team) with Euan, Lachlan, Ian, Lewis and Justin Wang earning selection in both the IPSHA Swim Team as well Mr Trevor O’Neill as the NSW CIS Swim Team. Congratulations to all these incredibly talented swimmers. Henderson also finished strongly on the track at the Cross-Country Carnival, with Theo Christian (6) (Under 11s) and Lewis Potter (Under House Captain 10s) taking out Age Championship honours. Securing selection in the Preparatory School Cross Country Team Theo Christian were Juno Ananda (6), Theo Christian, Lachlan Chung, Euan Germanos, James Huang, Aneesh Nagaratnam (4), Zachary Pliatsikas (5), Lewis Potter, Justin C. Wang and Neo White (3). Theo Christian continued to excel in earning further selection in the IPSHA Cross Country Team. Congratulations to all these boys and particularly House Vice-Captain to Theo for all his successes this year and for the example he has set for the boys in yellow. Theo Christian also Adam Pascale performed strongly at the Track and Field Championships, being crowned Under 11 Age Champion and being named on the IPSHA Track and Field Team. Joining Theo in earning representative honours in the Preparatory House Colour School Track and Field Team were Juno Ananda, Noah De Barros (4), Euan Germanos, James Huang, Jeremy McKeown (5) and Lewis Potter. Sport Captain titles are always highly sought and Henderson provided leaders Gold in three of the six titles awarded with Euan Germanos (Swimming), Theo Christian (Track and Field), and Adam Pascale (6) (Rugby) thoroughly deserving recognition for their efforts and abilities. With 2015 drawing to a close, the boys of Henderson should be very proud of their efforts over the course of the year. I am sure that the team spirit exhibited in support of the many amazing individual performances will be carried on to 2016 and beyond. Thank you to the departing Year 6 boys. Your contributions to your House and your school are greatly appreciated and you have set a benchmark of excellence and dignity which will inspire future year groups. Thank you also to the parents and Henderson House Staff who have provided tireless support to Team Yellow. BE PROUD – BE LOUD – GO HENDO!! Trevor O’Neill | Henderson Housemaster

Hilliard House has had a victorious year. House Captain and Vice Captain, Matthew Jerkovic (6) and Chris Chin (6) have developed into fine young leaders and ambassadors for Hilliard House. They have continuously set a fine example for the rest of the House to follow and have worked tirelessly throughout all of the House championship events, assisting staff and their fellow Hilliard House members. The boys have done an outstanding job and are to be congratulated for their work. The year began with the Swimming Championships at Homebush Aquatic Centre.

221 PREPARATORY SCHOOL SCHOOL HOUSE

School House once again demonstrated tremendous House Spirit in 2015. We were fortunate to be led by our House Captains, Nathan Nguyen and Alistair Roseworn. Both boys set an exceptional standard in behaviour and leadership. They also took on tasks with enthusiasm and a high level of commitment. They must be commended for their work throughout the year. Once again, the level of participation of all boys from School House was outstanding. They would never hesitate to make up numbers in events or compete in events that they had not participated in previously. This allowed us to achieve praiseworthy results in all 2015 inter-house activities. It is important to note that the spirit within the House was commendably demonstrated in not only sporting endeavours but also through good behaviour and citizenship being displayed throughout all School activities. School House once again finished in first place in the House Cross Country. In the Track and Field, School’s athletic ability shone through again, finishing a close second place. The House also finished in third place in the Swimming Carnival. Edward Simonds (3) had a strong performance on the day of the House Track and Field Carnival. As a result, he was the awarded the title of Under 8s Age Champion. Lachlan Richards (3), Manav Rindani (3), Christian Schiller (4), Samuel Rofail (4), Justin Wang (5), Jordan Itaoui (6) Ricardo Delgado (6)were rewarded for their excellent Housemaster performances through also being chosen as members of the Track and Field Team.

Most pleasing however, was the way the School House managed to organise another successful ‘Good Sports Day’ to support the worthwhile charity, Anglicare. School House continues to strive for better results, behaviour and work ethic while being mindful of the need to appreciate everyone’s effort in reaching a standard of which we can be proud. In 2015, I believe we reached that standard and the way the boys continue to work together as a team is outstanding. Brent Hinson | School Housemaster

INTER SCHOOL CHESS

Left to Right Lucas Woo, Emmanuel Grogan, Matthew Chen, Christopher Chin

Chess again proved to be a popular co-curricular choice at the Preparatory School during 2015.

For young, inexperienced players, chess teaches the rewards of concentration as well as providing immediate penalties for lapses. Few teaching tools provide such quick feedback. One slip in concentration can lead to a simple blunder, perhaps even ending the game. Only a focused, patient and persistent young chess player will maintain steady results.

The NSW Junior Chess League Schools’ Competition offers an opportunity for some of our keen Chess players to practice the skills acquired in their coaching sessions. The Preparatory School entered a team in the Championship Division of the competition this year.

The Trinity ‘A Team’ members, Lucas Woo (3S), Matthew Chen (6H), Emmanuel Grogan (6H) and Chess Captain Christopher Chin (6H) put in an excellent effort to finish first in the Strathfield Zone. A Zone first place qualified the Team for a place in the Metropolitan East Regional Finals.

However, despite a valiant effort in the Quarter Finals, with both Schools tied after the first round of games, Newington proved to be the stronger finishers and took the prize.

A big thank you to our reserves – Jake Bubic (5B) and Matthew Nicolas (5O) who were always ready to step in should they be required.

All team members deserve to be congratulated on the excellent manner in which they conducted themselves throughout the competition. Thanks must also go to parents who transported the boys to the ‘away matches’.

The House junior and senior competitions will be held in Term 4. This always promises to be a very close competition with boys keen to represent their House.

225 MUSIC | CONTINUED

the uplifting sound of 250 voices, accompanied by boys from Year 4 to Year 10, bringing to life an Australian story set to music by young Sydney-based composer, Mr. Luke Byrne, who also conducted the boys in this very special performance. This moment exemplified for me the essence of the Preparatory Schools’ Music programme: excellence, inclusion, creativity, diversity and relevance.

Diversity and excellence were further explored in the classroom programme with an exciting visit in May from the ensemble Zeeko! This ensemble is made up of some of Australia’s finest percussionists. Our students were taken on a wonderful musical journey that explored instruments from all over the globe and created sound worlds from the deepest depths of the ocean to our everyday backyards. Students were challenged to conceptualise music as not only high-art belonging in the concert hall but as multi-faceted expression – limited only by the parameters of our imagination.

This year we were very happy to expand the classroom instrumental programme to include the study of an orchestral woodwind, brass or percussion instrument in Year 4. The continuum, starting from Year 2 and moving through to Year 4, allows for Trinity students to experience the entire range of orchestral instruments during their music class. The impact of such a programme can already be seen, with momentum building in student-initiated action such as the previously mentioned increased number and variety of co-curricular ensembles, an unprecedented fifty-four percent of students taking instrumental studies and the successful initiative in May of the ‘Festival of Solos’. This festival was a celebration of solo music open to any student who studied an instrument. Over 120 students voluntarily performed in 2015 has been an exciting year of innovation and creativity for the Preparatory School front of their peers and families, culminating in a showcase Music programmes.

The first half of the 2015 season highlighted the skills and enthusiasm of all Preparatory School Basketball players.

All teams worked together to register solid performances across all grades. The Preparatory School fielded six senior teams in Term 1, expanding to eight senior and four junior teams in Term 4.

Term 1 focussed predominately on teamwork and overall skill development. The boys worked tirelessly and supported each other throughout the journey.

Theo Kidd (6Hi), Hayden Johnson (6Hi) and Jamie Christopoulos (6Ar) trialled for the IPSHA representative team. Unfortunately, they narrowly missed selection.

All twelve teams are currently preparing for the back end of the season, focusing on the skills established earlier in the year.

Kurtis Castorina (6He) has led from the front in his role as Captain of Basketball. His genuine love of the game and infectious enthusiasm have encouraged all boys to work towards improving their overall game. He has constantly encouraged the boys to challenge their ability and, most importantly, to love all aspects of the game.

I have thoroughly enjoyed facilitating the Basketball programme this year. The boys continue to improve under the expert guidance of their enthusiastic coaches. I am particularly proud of the expansion to include the additional teams. This will no doubt lay the foundation for a strong Basketball programme in the ensuing years.

I look forward to the second half of the season as the boys continue to refine their skills and their overall love of the game.

The Scouts

Like the Cubs, a highlight for many Scouts is the annual Region Scout Camp. This three-night camp can be a challenge being the first bush camp under canvas for our newer Scouts. But they all have the opportunity to learn and practice leadership skills as they undertake self- directed team challenges and activities over the weekend. Trinity Scouts also participated in the 2015 Region Environment Camp, learning about Aboriginal heritage, fauna, flora, and caring for the environment.

The Scout Section is continuing to join neighbouring Scout troops from Iron Cove and Canterbury-Vale districts in combined District Activities such as hikes and outings, including a special tour of the NSW Water Police Headquarters. In February 2015, Trinity Scouts joined over 100 neighbouring Cubs and Scouts at Scout Place in Circular Quay with the celebration of Founders Day. Community service and appreciating our heritage is also an important part of scouting as demonstrated by a dedicated patrol of Trinity Scouts assisting Legacy at the Centenary ANZAC March in the city.

District Scout Hikes have also become a feature on the Scout’s calendar with one, two or three day hikes being held through the year. In 2015, these hikes have been from Brooklyn to Cowan, Hornsby to North Ryde, Epping to Circular Quay, Helensburgh to Heathcote, and Glenbrook to Red Hands Cave.

Over the course of the 2015 AFL season, the combined Junior and Preparatory School AFL team came forwards in leaps and bounds. Many of the boys were brand new to AFL, and it was up to our experienced Year 6 captains, Jasper McCullagh (6La) and Aiden Murphy (6Ta), to lead by example and lay a platform on which the rest of the team could build.

Fundamental skills such as kicking, passing and catching improved dramatically throughout the year, culminating in a fantastic game against Barker in the final fixture, where the team performed outstandingly well. James Oeser (5Yo), Hamish Kidd (6Fo), Aiden Lee (5Fo) and Alexander Saba (5La) were some of the team’s big improvers over the season with Jim O’Brien (6Ta) providing a sound target for offensive kicks. Aiden Murphy showed off his strength and skills in tackling each week which was entertaining to watch! Ben Orr (5Fo) and Nathan Dang (6Sc) showed brilliant discipline and determination, which saw them make great improvements over the season.

This year, we introduced Tuesday morning training sessions. It was immensely encouraging to see the dedication of our team as they turned up each week on a cold morning to put in their best efforts to improve as a team. Towards the end of the season, we used boxing as one way to work on our fitness. I paired up with a couple of boys, and they proved to have a strong arm on them!

The highlight of our season was our annual trip to watch the Sydney Swans play at ANZ stadium and be a part of the game’s guard of honour. Special thanks to Mr Matthew Kidd for his assistance coaching and Mr Stuart Smith for assisting each Thursday. I Iook forward to continuing to watch the boys improve and excel in 2016.

This year, there were over 140 students registered in one or more seasons.

Term 1 saw the boys participate in AFL, a sport that is growing rapidly at Trinity Grammar School.

The improvements each week were remarkable, and it was fantastic to see the joy in the boys’ faces when they received their AFL Backpacks at the end of the five weeks.

Term 2 and 3 saw the ever-popular Joan Carmody Dance School return for their second year. The dance instructors delivered the programme to the Infants boys, and they were outstanding in motivating and teaching the students different dance moves. Trinity might well have some future stars turn out in the TV show So You Think You Can Dance in the years to come!

Also introduced in Term 2 and 3 was a multi-sport programme which focussed on improving gross motor skills through participating in a number of different sports and activities. ‘No Limits Sports’ conducted the programme, and it was well received by the boys.

The very popular Twilight Athletics Series returned in Term 4. This programme is in its seventh year and it continues to grow. Over 160 students from Pre-K through Year 6 demonstrated their running, jumping and throwing talents on Oval No 2 over four weeks, culminating in Age Champions and Runners-up in each age group.

Your brochure lists numerous outstanding successes, some that have been rewarded during the year and others that will soon be acknowledged in the giving of prizes. It is right and proper that we highlight these achievements for they represent exceptional expressions of talent, hard work and character that are deserving of encouragement by any community endeavouring to nurture boys into fine young men. Each boy whose name appears in these pages should be very proud, as your School is proud of you. In a few moments you will enjoy the acknowledgment of your peers, teachers and families. Yet for every prize given today, there are dozens of achievements not rewarded with a prize but which are also worthy of celebration. Alas, the life we are preparing boys for is a life where not every achievement leads to a trip to the stage, a prize, a handshake or a moment in the spotlight. For every prize winner, there are many others deserving encouragement because they have done their best. We cannot ask more. To every boy here, celebrate enthusiastically your friend’s achievements as they come to the stage, but remember that today is a celebration of your achievements too. Whether improving in two-digit multiplication, persevering with a difficult music piece, defending your line for the last five minutes of the game, forming an understanding of who you are in this place and time, speaking up, packing your own bag for school or camp with all the right belongings, showing tolerance or compassion in the playground, setting a PB, giving to others, challenging yourself to think differently or tackling the harder problem, you do well. Your endeavours will serve you well in the challenges that await you next year and beyond. You do not have to be the best, but we ask you to always do your best. Then you also can be very proud of your achievements, as your School is of you.

Our Junior School is a busy place of learning.

We are all still learning, mindful of our past, attending to the present and looking forward to the further opportunities that a new year will bring to learn, teach, play, help, serve, guide, lead, and explore in new, exciting and even better ways. But for now, all may be satisfied with a job well done and look forward to a well-deserved break.

As we celebrate the end of a most successful year at the Junior School, let us be mindful of and thankful for the many blessings we enjoy in this community. Let us give thanks for one another and glory to God for His goodness to us in so many ways. As we celebrate Christmas, may we be particularly mindful of His love shown to us in the birth of his Son to be our Lord and Saviour.

I wish you and your families a restful, joyous and peaceful Christmas break.

255 JUNIOR SCHOOL CAPTAIN’S REPORT

be selected in the Armidale Rugby Tour and the North Coast Rugby and Football Tour. The Armidale Rugby Tour saw the 1st XV and

2nd XV Rugby squads take a long drive up to the Armidale School to stay in one of the boarding houses. Both teams did exceptionally well and I would like to thank the boys from Bishop Druitt College to help us get enough numbers for a second team.

The North Coast Tour saw students from the Junior and Preparatory Schools travel to Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie and the Hunter Valley. Again both the Rugby and Football teams did exceptionally well: the Rugby team won three out of three games and the football team won two out of three games. Along with playing sport on the North Coast Tour, the boys had fun at the Big Banana playing laser tag, feeding sharks and rays at Bob’s Farm and interacting with marine animals at Dolphin Marine Magic.

This year again saw Trinity participating in the annual Da Vinci Decathlon at Knox for Years 5 and 6 and the biannual combined schools IPSHA Music Festival for anyone in the Junior School Choir, Concert Band and Vivaldi Strings. Both of these events required teamwork, communication between Trinity students and students from other schools and lots of practice beforehand. The Da Vinci team did well receiving 3rd in the Literacy division and also in the Cartography division. Everyone performed well at the IPSHA Music Festival, but the thing that counts is everyone had a lot of fun during their performances.

Co-Curricular activities are a big part of Trinity’s culture and getting to do I’ve tried to make this report as long and as entertaining as the ones them now is great for students because they are compulsory in the Senior done by the Junior School Captains before me.

Many students enjoy this opportunity as at Junior School, Mr Dunn to lead the school. It was also a great experience least one activity is suited to a subject that they enjoy and thrive at. But seeing the boys that I had met almost four years ago grow up beside me it isn’t just the students that enjoy Co-Curricular activities, the teachers during their time at the Junior School. always come back happy as well.

2015 was a year of many milestones for the Junior School. There was the As a grade, Year 6 again participated in the PYP Exhibition. This year’s usual roster of Junior School activities including Literacy, Mathematics, Exhibition was based on the transdisciplinary theme of ‘Where we are Mandarin, Christian Studies, PDHPE, Music, Chapel, Units of Inquiry, in place and time’ and the central idea was ‘Major events and periods of Visual Arts and Library.

I would like to comment on the exceptional camps and excursions that Another thing that has been added to the weekly roster is the assembly, the teachers have again organised for us this year. Camp is a great time run by my fellow Year 6 officers and I. Classes are able to present an item for relaxing and doing things you may have not done before. I am sure about what they are learning in class. It was great seeing Year 3 present all boys and teachers will cherish memories from camp and tell funny their poems and information about a plant or a bird.

257 JUNIOR SCHOOL PK - YEAR 2

2015 has been another busy year for the Junior School Infants Department. Throughout the year, Kindergarten have enjoyed and benefited from the Our boys have faced every challenge demanded of them head on and continuous support from parents.

This, combined with a supportive and made inquiries into friendships, their imagination, journeys and two involved parent community, makes for a formidable team.

To give the boys a clear idea of how games had changed over time, they visited The Old School House in Ryde. They took part in games from the 1800s and 1900s, which gave them a more authentic experience. The games also provided boys the chance to work on their social skills. A secret ‘Go Pro’ was used to capture students during these times. They watched the recordings and discussed positives and negatives relating to their interactions and their ability to resolve conflicts.

I am so proud to see the boys I once taught in Kindergarten and who are now in Year 2 have grown up to be the role models for the boys in Kindergarten and Year 1. They continue to build on their academic abilities and social development, things 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 behaviour.

Year 2 students promoted recycling in the Junior School by displaying around the school posters they had designed and made. This action came as a result of the discoveries they had made about the amount of waste within their immediate environment. 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 Year 2 boys also looked at preserving their personal histories as part of the Unit of Inquiry, ‘A World Gone By’. They put together individual museum boxes. Within these boxes they included items that represented important or memorable moments in their past. Artefacts included christening photos, candles, family photos and special toys. Each of the boys presented to his class. Following this, they shared their museums with the rest of the Junior School in an exhibition.

A favourite inquiry for Year 2 students involved researching a traditional recipe that reflects their cultural background. They talked about and made their various recipes and shared the food with their peers. The Year 2 teachers and the boys greatly appreciated the work that parents put into this. It was a wonderful day of sharing with so many different types of cuisine brought in.

The Junior School Evening of Music is always a big event. This is a highlight in November for the boys and their parents. It was truly magical to watch them play the cello or violin together as a group. All the hard work during their weekly strings lessons had paid off. They demonstrated outstanding discipline and concentration when performing. PK - YEAR 2 JUNIOR SCHOOL This year, Infants students benefited from an extra thirty minutes of PE time in the form of a Gross Motor lesson. This time has been dedicated to increasing the boys’ basic motor development in areas such as kicking and throwing. This, along with their regular class PE lessons, is designed in readiness 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 and the like. The Minimites programme had another successful year. Those who took part enjoyed basketball, AFL, dance and a variety of other sports.

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’s 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 your hard work this year. Have a wonderful break, and I look forward to seeing you all again next year.

259 JUNIOR SCHOOL FOUNDER’S HOUSE

For Founders House, 2015 has proved to be a most enjoyable and successful year due to the boys’ loyalty, character and determination. The year has ended in good spirits and promises continued success in 2016. The lively tone of the House was in no small part due to our House Captain, Tyson Jackson (6) and Vice-Captain, Sebastian Boffa (6), while the entry of our new Year 3 group supplied the House with fresh enthusiasm that set the pace for all activities. The Year 6 Students also assisted, showing great leadership and encouragement of the younger years in the House. Founders House had a very successful year in all facets of School life, excelling on cultural and academic occasions, with Debating, Music and Chess being well-represented, and experiencing great achievements in the sporting arenas. The year started with the annual Junior School Swimming Carnival. It was very encouraging to see all the boys participating in a range of events which enabled us to gain some valuable points. Despite coming fourth, Founders did have some outstanding results, with Clark Foley (4) finishing runner up in the Under 10 age group, Hussein Naji (4) finishing runner up in the Under 9’s and Domenic Furfaro (3) finishing runner up in the Under 8’s. As a result, Domenic Furfaro, Hussein Naji, Clark Foley, Benjamin Orr (5) and Antonio Lazzaro (6) were all selected for the IPSHA swimming team. Special mention must also go to Aiden Murphy (6) and Zachary Gindy (6) who were selected in the IPSHA Diving team. Housemaster The highlight of the year was Founders House being crowned 2015 House Athletics Champions. It was very Mr Matthew Asplin encouraging to see the House's strength of character and ability to come together to form one formidable team. By supporting and encouraging each other throughout the day the boys were able to perform to the best of their House Captain ability in both track and field events. It was great to see the attitude and commitment that the House members displayed, whilst at the same time enjoying themselves and maintaining a great house spirit. Tyson Jackson The Cross Country Championships were held in Term 2, and congratulations to Hussein Naji who was the U8/9’s age champion for 2015. Another notable performance was at the NSW CIS Track and Field Championships, House Vice-Captain where Hussein won the 9 Years 100m. Sebastian Boffa Congratulations must also go to Tyson Jackson, who competed at the British Dance Association Eisteddfod at Sutherland Entertainment Centre. Tyson was awarded the best male dancer at the event in recognition of his House Colour performances. Orange Several of our Year 5 and Year 6 boys also dedicated many hours to the success of their respective debating teams, while others competed against other schools in Chess. Founders has always had an excellent number of boys involved in Choir and Music, and it was very pleasing to see these boys preform at such a high level throughout the year at both internal and external events. Weather it is in the classroom or on the sporting field, the men of Founders House have always participated enthusiastically in all areas of Junior School life. Founders’ all round level of achievement would not have been possible without the continued support of the staff and parent community. A very big thank you to our House Captain, Tyson Jackson, and Vice-Captain, Sebastian Boffa, for their excellent leadership and continual support throughout 2015. Also to the many parents who have willingly given assistance throughout the year. Matthew Asplin | Housemaster

2015 was a fantastic year for Latham House. The boys displayed house spirit, enthusiasm and dedication throughout the year, achieving some excellent individual and team results in many areas of school life. House Captain, Thomas Buvac (6) and Vice-Captain, Daniel Tran (6) set a great example in the willingness to participate, give their best effort and lead by example on all occasions. I’m sure all boys in Latham House would join me in thanking them for their enthusiasm and commitment. It was most encouraging to see all members of Latham follow this example as they displayed determination, courage and grace in victory, and defeat, as they competed in swimming, cross country, track and field and gala days amongst the many Co-Curricular activities undertaken as individuals throughout the year.

Naturally, the friendly competition between Houses is a source of motivation for many boys. However, the privilege of watching all of those who have trained tirelessly throughout the season, is reward in itself. In Latham, we are proud to acknowledge the results of some of our most accomplished athletes. In the 8-year-old division, we had Renesh Moodley (3) finish as Track and Field Age Champion, while Christian Kanaan [year La] was the Swimming Age Champion. Zachariah Nguyen [4] finished as Swimming Age Champion the 9-year-old division. Thomas Ferguson [4] was the first 10-year-old across the line in the Cross Country Championships. Will Cooper Housemaster [6] represented Latham with distinction across multiple disciplines as Swimming Age Champion and finishing first place in the Cross Country, both in the 11-year-old division. Thomas Buvac and Hunter Hannaford [6] shared the Mr Jonathan Borger spoils in the 12-year-old group. Hunter was our Age Champion at the Track Field Championships, with Thomas finishing runner up, whilst at the Cross Country, Thomas crossed the line first, with Hunter close behind. House Captain Thomas Buvac As a combined body, we were able to achieve an exciting tie with Young House for first place in the Cross Country Championships, a close second place in the Swimming Carnival and an admirable third place in the Track and Field Championships. All in all, an impressive set of results which reflect Latham’s strong representation by House Vice-Captain all its members, at each event. Daniel Tran Whilst the significance of performing together as a house at such events cannot be underestimated, italso important to note that Latham House members had many opportunities to represent their House and School House Colour with pride in many other School activities and Co-Curricular programs. Some of these have included Choir, Band, Black Ensembles, Chess, Debating, Art and Drama. It is wonderful that Latham House is full of students with so many different skills and abilities.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow House staff: Mrs Ronnie Pratt, Mr Paul Brigden and Mr David Gaudiosi for their support and assistance at all of the 2015 events. I would also like to acknowledge the parents who have provided assistance and encouragement for both staff and students. Congratulations to the young men of Latham. I hope that the 2015 house competitions and sporting opportunities provide you with great challenge, opportunity and enjoyment.

261 JUNIOR SCHOOL TAUBMAN HOUSE

During Our Friday Chapel time, a heartfelt prayer is offered by the boys to ensure good weather for the following Saturday morning sport; the House competitions of the Junior School are an integral part of the boys’ lives at Trinity Grammar Junior School and it is wonderful to be part of their enthusiasm. We are so fortunate to have a great spirit of participation in Taubman House. As a Housemaster, I would like to begin by thanking all the Taubman boys and staff for their willingness to be involved. So many aspects of our sporting life is team-oriented and in fact, this willingness to turn up to the earliest of events, on the coldest of mornings, speaks volumes about their determination and dedication to their team.

James Green (6) has served Taubman very well as a House Captain, not only as a great ambassador for outstanding athletic ability, notably in rugby and swimming where he was appointed captain, but also in his humble leadership qualities. He has been well-supported in this role by Gabriel Booth (6) who, as Vice-Captain, was a terrifically encouraging side-line supporter. Thank you both for your support and great role modelling this year.

Our summer sport season saw us put in an outstanding effort in the pool. We definitely demonstrated our strengths. A special mention must go to Louis Agosti (5), Evan Alexiou (5), Andrew Cavallaro (6), James Green, Dylan Lay (6) and Eric Mihas (5) who placed highly in our races helping Taubman achieve a winning 285 points Housemaster on the day. Mrs Patricia Duke In Term 3, we had a busy day competing at the combined Junior and Preparatory School Track and Field Carnival. House Captain Again, I must make special mention of Andrew Cavallero, William Maistry (5), Loius Agosti and Eric Mihas who worked hard to keep us earning points. However, on this occasion we came third overall. Nicholas Enno (6) was James Green announced as Captain of Athletics due to his hard work and great results over his time at the Junior School.

House Vice-Captain A final thank you must go to all the parents and staff who so diligently help and support our students as they Gabriel Booth train and compete each season.

Trinity Grammar School provides students with a variety of House competitions, sporting pursuits and academic activities that encompass the overarching emphasis of Mind, Body, and Spirit for Junior School students. The boys of Young House have given remarkable performances throughout the year and have demonstrated true athleticism and sportsmanship. Our Captain Liam Filby (6) and Vice-Captain Ahmed Hijazi (6) led our boys to many triumphs in 2015. Their enthusiasm and excitement was passed down to their peers where they created a supportive environment for our Young House competitors. Liam and Ahmed should be congratulated for the manner in which they have led Young House in each carnival as well as the mature example they have shown throughout the year to the students of the Junior School. Term 1 saw some excellent results in the annual Swimming House Championships and although Young came third overall, the individual achievements need to be mentioned. Liam Filby, our Young House Captain, grabbed third place for the opens finals for the freestyle, backstroke and breastroke. Joshua Hanna (5) took first place for freestyle and backstroke and second place for breastroke. James Oeser (5), another brilliant swimmer on the day, took out first place for the breastroke, with Cameron van der Goot (3) coming second for the 9-year-olds. However, our biggest excitement was when Young House took out the relay for first place for both the 10 and 11 years, with the Opens coming a very close second by two hundredths of a second! It was truly wonderful to see so many of the Young House members Housemaster taking part and encouraging each other in the pool. Their excitement shone through and they were absolutely, hands down, the best supporters on the day! In addition to the annual Swimming Championships held in Term Miss Emma Cook 1, Young House competed fiercely in the Junior School Cross Country Championships and Track andField Carnival. The boys of Young House represented our House and School with some fantastic results. A special House Captain mention to Riley Janjis (5) who came first in the 100m and 200m sprints. He also competed in the Head Master’s Liam Filby Dash, the event where the fastest boy in the School is crowned. He now gets bragging rights for at least a year for being the fastest boy in the Junior School with a swift 6.18 seconds, which is quite an achievement for a Year 5 student! Well done Riley! In addition to these wonderful sporting achievements, there has been some House Vice-Captain hard work from Young House outside of the sporting arenas and in the academia world such as Debating, Chess Ahmed Hijazi and the Maths Olympiad. Young members Ahmed Hijazi, William Martin (6), Joshua Hanna (5) and Keagan Tran (5) have been competing in debates against other schools over Sydney. They have discussed worldly topics and House Colour current affairs that have really made the judges think deeply about the issues at hand. Carnivals, sporting and Maroon academic events would not take place without the support and enthusiasm of our parents and teachers. Thank you to all the parents, teachers and volunteers who gave their assistance and time throughout the year, helping to make each event run smoothly and with fun. Thanks again to the parents who get up early and get our boys to Sport each Saturday and other events throughout the year. Without your support, our boys would not have the opportunities and successes they have had and will hopefully continue to have. It has been a pleasure to watch the boys compete and challenge themselves with good grace and sportsmanship, with a strong spirit of encouragement for each other. I look forward to another year of success in both the sporting and academic calendar in 2016. Emma Cook | Housemaster YOUNG HOUSE TAUBMAN HOUSE JUNIOR SCHOOL

Chess was played by ancient kings and knights Merilyn Ormes | MIC Chess even before the Middle Ages. How does an ancient game continue to entice young minds in the twenty-first century? Chess is an exercise of infinite possibilities for the mind, one which develops mental abilities used throughout life: concentration, critical thinking, abstract reasoning, problem solving, pattern recognition, strategic planning, creativity, analysis, synthesis and evaluation, to name a few. Chess can be used very effectively as a tool to teach problem solving and abstract reasoning. Learning how to solve a problem is more important than learning the solution to any particular problem. Through chess, we learn how to analyse a situation by focusing on important factors and by eliminating distractions. We learn to devise creative solutions and put a plan into action. Chess works because it is self- motivating. The game has fascinated humans for almost 2000 years, and the goals of attack and defense, culminating in checkmate, inspire us to dig deep into our mental reserves.

It was amazing to see such as well as movement exercises including mime and theatre sports. Over talent and creativity come to light when the boys were given carte blanche the progress of First Semester, these skills developed into drama activities to devise their own characters and plots. Utilising only minimal props, which required students to improvise and role play in different situations boys were encouraged to use their voices and movement skills to make with a focus on characterisation and dialogue exchanges. Term Three was their characters come to life. Those that were utilised, however, provided an exciting one as the boys built on the skills obtained in the introduction emphasis and were essential to the scenes at hand. The boys were at ease to drama workshops held in Semester One.

Up to forty boys from Years 3-6 took up the challenge and spent their Thursday afternoons inquiring, observing, designing, constructing, analysing, reflecting and persisting with solutions to problems.

Students began the year by building towers and bridges, a design exercise that encouraged teams of boys to experience simple but profound lessons in collaboration, innovation and creativity. An inquiry into flight saw some boys explore the concepts of thrust and drag, culminating with the design of some incredible paper planes, not to mention a highly competitive paper plane flying competition. Nothing channels the inner-speed demon like tearing around on a Billy cart, as when the Years 5 and 6 boys zipped around the Junior School Courtyard, thrilled to be driving their self-built vehicle.

The boys showed great enthusiasm when they experimented with different forms of energy as they designed their magnetic hovercrafts and launched their chemically-fuelled rockets into the sky. No rockets made it into space; however, these experiences provided the boys with opportunities to wonder and imagine. Many boys relished the opportunity to push the limits and showed an unmovable determination to go higher, move faster and be stronger in their pursuit for success.

267 JUNIOR SCHOOL eLEARNING

Throughout the year, various year groups were actively involved in Cybersmart sessions run by eLearning and teaching staff. These sessions focused on the responsible use and duty of care while using technology, in addition to current affairs in the media linking the impact of positive and irresponsible practices and their consequences. During Term 3, Year 6 participated in the eSmart Digital License programme comprising of eight modules, which combine learning resources and interactive quizzes to evaluate knowledge around key cyber safety topics within the Australian Information and Communication Technology

Curriculum. After the successful competition of all modules, students received an eSmart Digital License certificate in recognition of being equipped with the essential skills required to embrace and safely explore the world of online technology.

During the latter half of the year, our boys in Years 3-6 participated in various interactive STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) themed virtual excursions, including topics such as the human body and chemistry hosted by Fizzics Education. Our Kindergarten boys participated in two video conferences with their counterparts at MLC School to discuss their thoughts on ‘imagination’. Virtual excursions allow students to engage with other students, experts and organisations all over the world and to give more relevance and understanding to the content they are investigating as part of each Unit of Inquiry in class - without leaving it.

One aspect of the digital curriculum is critical thinking, logic and problem solving skills which align with the fundamentals of coding. The teaching of coding in the Junior School begins in Kindergarten. As part of the Unit of Inquiry ‘How We Express Ourselves’, our Kindergarten boys worked with their Year 6 buddies to create an impossible pet - a hybrid of existing animals fused together with the power of imagination! The boys designed their animals as ‘characters’ before animating them with simple movement and a voice recorded noise which emitted when the character was touched. Our Year 4 boys have had the opportunity to recreate the popular phone game, Flappy Birds, using Scratch coding. As well as enhancing their mathematical studies, these foundation skills have allowed the boys to use coding as another form of presentation instead of relying on more traditional methods such as PowerPoint. Some boys have progressed to using MIT App inventor to create working Android apps and tested them on purpose-bought tablets.

The classroom programme continues to support our wonderful Co- Curricula opportunities through listening, performing and composing. In 2015, we continued developing the sequential composition programme starting from Kindergarten through to Year 6, where boys learn and utilise musical devices to organise sound into different parts using poems, rhymes and literature explored in their PYP Units of Inquiry. The boys compose for voice, found instruments, classroom percussion and the instruments we use in our classroom instrumental programme. This initiative supports a 21st-century education which focuses on creativity and innovation as the drivers for classroom inquiry. The boys also get to compare, contrast and learn techniques from the diverse repertoire we perform at Trinity Grammar School in our singing, solo and ensemble playing.

271 JUNIOR SCHOOL VISUAL ARTS

Throughout the year, our Junior School students have engaged enthusiastically with inquiry-based learning in the Visual Arts. Each Unit of Inquiry was designed to encourage the development of skills, visual literacy and conceptual understanding. Many of these experiences were developed in collaboration with the classroom teachers, while others provided an independent skill-based learning arts practice.

In Terms 2 and 3, artist Mrs Kristyn Taylor worked with us to develop a collaborative mural. This work was based on the Year 1 excursion to Centennial Park. Students learned about the characteristics of different plants and animals and found examples of mini-beasts and water creatures in wetlands and bush areas of the park. Despite light rain showers, this was an engaging experience for the boys who enjoyed fossicking for snails, woodlice and spiders. Using clay, sticks and leaves, they created their own creatures which were later recreated in the art classroom. The project was expanded to include Kindergarten fish sculptures for the wetlands. Year 2 created the ‘Sharing Caring Boat’ complete with portraits of Trinity boys. In Year 3, the work connected with the Unit of Inquiry ‘How we express ourselves’. Students learned how to bring different perspectives together in the development of their own creative expression in the construction of the large birds for the mural. The ceramic works were exhibited at opening night of the annual Junior School Exhibition and transported to Centennial Park the following day to be exhibited in the bush-land near the Education Centre for their 'Science in the Park' day. Thousands of visitors participated in this day, and it provided an exciting opportunity for our boys to show off their work.

Excursions to the Trinity Delmar Gallery provided engaging experiences for our students this year. ‘Slow Burn’ was a popular exhibition viewed by most of our Junior School and Infants students. Kindergarten in particular were enchanted by the size of some of the works on display.

Year 5 attended the Museum of Contemporary Art this year. They had the opportunity to look at a number of Australian contemporary artworks dealing with different perspectives on colonialism and aboriginal issues. The boys also took part in a tour of the light exhibition which provided an authentic provocation for their class Unit of Inquiry, ‘How the world works’, and laid the foundation for one of the lines of inquiry in art, ‘How humans interpret light to express themselves creatively’. TRINITY GRAMMAR SCHOOL | THE TRIANGLE 2015 THE | GRAMMAR SCHOOL TRINITY 272 Art clubs were well attended this year and provided the boys with a wide range of experiences. Large scale canvas painting produced works ranging from landscape to abstract art. Ceramics is always a popular club, and this year our boys created stunning ceramic pots. We are fortunate to be able to use the ceramic room in the Senior School, which provides students with a different and exciting environment for their work. Boys in Years 1 and 2 were offered an Art Club for the first time this year and worked with both traditional media and digital photography combined with Adobe Photoshop. The most popular club for the Junior School boys was run by graphic novel artist Anton Pulverintini. Students loved learning how to draw super heroes and create their own cartoon style stories. Anton’s drawing demonstrations and engagement with skill development during these drawing lessons provided a unique experience for the boys in Terms 2 and 3. VISUAL ARTS JUNIOR SCHOOL

During our annual Bundanon art camp, a group of Year 5 and 6 boys had the opportunity to tour the art studio where Boyd lived and worked. After a picnic lunch students spent quiet reflective time drawing the landscape at Singleman’s Hut. Settling into the cabins at the Riversdale Art Centre is always a highlight for the boys who love the experience of sleeping in the architect-designed cabins with spectacular views of the river. Workshops included a range of Trinity staff-led activities in the evening followed by collage, drawing and sculpture workshops on the second day.

Our annual art exhibition, held in the corridors of the Junior School, always provides an interesting challenge with extensive areas of glass to consider in the set up for the display of our students’ work. Year 6 displayed their self-directed work based on a PYP concept, and the boys were encouraged to act as curators by selecting their own space in the building for the display of their work. The Creative Arts as an integral part of our programmes was showcased in this evening of entertainment. Ms Jacqueline Kelly worked with Year 3 students to develop an outstanding masked bird dance demonstrating how well our boys can express themselves in movement and dance. Mime artists and buskers entertained the audience throughout the evening which was started with outstanding performances from the Band and Junior School Choir. Our aim in Visual Art is to display at least one work from each boy in the school at this exhibition. Our thanks go to the numerous parents who helped in the lead up to the show. Without their help, we would not be able to mount and hang all the artwork in this major display of our students’ talent.

Congratulations to the Junior School Basketball teams for playing with skill, passion, commitment and – most importantly – sportsmanship this year. At the beginning of the year, the boys showed strong improvement in their skills development as they underwent a strong training regime and learned to put those skills into practise every Saturday. Well done to the Captain of Basketball, Jack Braga (6La), whose commitment to training, outstanding sportsmanship and playing for enjoyment has made him an excellent role model for all players of differing abilities. The strategies used by coaches to engender these basic skills in Basketball have included learning to do a layup, the use of various dribbling and shooting drills and the use of modified games to highlight defensive strategies. I especially thank Mr Ben Morrissey, Mr Mark Handel and the coaching staff for their encouragement of the boys and the wonderful advice and training they have provided through the year. Of course, all this would not be possible without the support of parents, so thank you to all the parents for their efforts in encouraging the boys and ensuring the boys are able to play their games all over Sydney.

This year, the boys involved in softball proved to be full of great talent and tremendous commitment. During Term 1, the boys came together well and decided to train for an extra session each week. The extra enthusiasm really paid off, and the boys won each game until the break in the season. Although huge victories may not have been shown on the scoreboard, the way the boys bonded as a team, developed their skills and demonstrated sportsmanship towards the opposing teams made them victorious. The boys’ understanding of the game grew throughout Term 1, and it was encouraging to see their skills improve along with this understanding. As they moved through the season, the boys grew into truly dedicated catchers, pitchers, short stops, fielders, batters and enthusiasts. One of the challenges of summer sport is the two-term gap where the skills learnt can take some time to be remembered again. However, it has been great to see some new members join the team, and the mastery of skills of new and old mitts should take no time at all. A very grateful thank you to all the parents who have helped in support of their son’s Sport and Softball at Trinity.

The Junior School Swimming heats were held on Tuesday 10 February at our Summer Hill pool, while the Junior and Preparatory School House Swimming Finals were held at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre on Thursday 12 February. Highlights were watching Zachariah Nguyen (4La) breaking four school records at the Junior School Swimming heats. It was a simply phenomenal effort. As a result of these championships, the following boys were named as age champions and runners up.

Open’s Champion James Green (6Ta) Open’s Runner Up Domenic Furfaro (3Fo) Under 11 Champion Will Cooper (6La) U11 Runner Up Hussein Naji (4Fo) Under 10 Champion Louis Agosti (6Ta) U10 Runner Up Clark Foley (4Fo) Under 9 Champion Zachariah Nguyen (4La) U9 Runner Up Ben Cameron (6Ta) Under 8 Champion Christian Kannan (3Ta) U8 Runner Up Liam Filby (Yo)

At the IPSHA Championships, our divers Aiden Murphy (6Ta), Ben Cameron (6Ta), Zachary Gindy (6Fo) and Max Fricker (4Fo) dived sensationally with all four of our boys making the IPSHA team to compete at the CIS Championship. In the swimming team, Zachariah Nguyen (4La) had some close battles finishing a very close 2nd place to make the CIS team with Christian Kanaan (3Ta).

Following the School carnivals, Max Fricker (4Ta) competed at the Australian National Age Diving championships in Brisbane. Max was one of the youngest qualifying competitors in the NSW Team and was required to dive in the under 11 Year age group having just turned 10. Although Max did not place it was a great achievement to qualify for a National Championships and it was also fantastic experience for him.

I look forward to even more success in our Swimming and Diving teams in 2016. The opening of the brand new swimming complex will in no doubt inspire even more effort in our boys.
