Sydney Boys High School The Record 2002 7 Year 12 Farewell Message
t is a difficult task as a Principal to write a meaningful farewell message to graduating IYear 12 students. The most obvious problem is that while I do this every year, you all do it once only. The special significance of what it feels like to complete twelve years of schooling can only be imagined by those experiencing it. I have a dim memory of release and relief, knowing that I would never have to go back to school again! It shows how wrong we can be about our future directions. I hope you enjoy the feeling of transition, of leaving the old and preparing to embrace the new. I expect you may feel that you have lost something too, a sense of really belonging somewhere, of being connected to place. You may have nostalgic reminiscences about the matches or contests you were involved in, of the teachers that you had, of the social occasions you enjoyed. Dr K.A. Jaggar Some of you, like I have, will carry friendships made at school throughout your life. Others will special mention, however I think the work of make a clean break and build new relationships at Mark, Justin and Richard has been terrific and has university.

Scots has a long sailing history which is one of the reasons for their dominance of the sport. We hope that High will be able to rival this team’s authority in seasons to come. The season ended with a dinner organised by the parents of the sailors. Dr Jaggar addressed the team at this dinner and unveiled a long-term plan for sailing at High. The team greatly appreciated the efforts of everyone involved in the running of sailing this year. Mr Pearson is congratulated for taking on the role of MIC and we thank all the parents who ferried us to Rose Bay each Wednesday afternoon.

As it turns out that wasn’t a bad result considering they won the ISA competition in the fifteens age group. Our trials proved very successful as our newest player, Will Kwok, settled in nicely whilst our forwards showed that they would be a force in the GPS competition.

Overall, it was a fine season as I believe the side raised the bar of junior rugby at Sydney High. We set a standard that all the younger age groups should aim to achieve by the time they are in the 15’s, that is to gain experience through the age groups and to be competitive against A grade opposition by the time they reach this level. Although we can’t match the other schools in numbers and experience, we can still use the age old methods of grit and determination and I think The final game of the season was against Scots that’s what our team showed this year. at Rose Bay.

This proved to be a touch of magic by our master coach, with much fairer and much more entertaining games being played. We also scored two convincing wins from this, including a 31-5 crushing of Newington College, the highlight of our season. We also beat Sydney Grammar School in the GPS season. We weren’t embarrassed once, except, by an amazing St Joseph’s College team. I’d like to go through our team player by player.

Association Football (Soccer) continued to grow this year with High fielding four teams in each age group plus six in opens and six in the 13s. The fields at Moore Park West were opened which along with the Bus Loop fields enabled all twenty-four teams to play at home for the first time, without some age groups having to travel away. It also meant that the McKay field could be saved for First and Second grade and kept as a much better playing surface.
In First Grade the team started brightly but always struggled to maintain the challenge set by Riverview who crushed all before them. High finally managed a credible joint second. The second Grade challenged for the title until a slip up at the end to Riverview cost them their title, finally finishing third. In the other years an improvement is clearly seen with many of the age groups producing much stronger performances and displaying the strength in depth that High has developed. We started the year by forging links to Manchester United and through their Oceania Development Programme run by Parramatta Eagles. In July a clinic was held at High on the Moore Park West fields for some 80 boys and opened by Mr Johnny Warren, Australia’s 1974 World Cup Captain. The participants were trained solidly in how to play the Manchester United way by professional coaches all with at least NSL experience. This link is seen by all parties as an ongoing thing and is expected to be continued for the foreseeable future.
Seven High players were selected for the AAGPS Association Football (Soccer) 15th Anniversary Representative teams. First Grade: Tom Cusbert, Patrick Bazin. Second Grade: Matthew Mulroney, Hugh James (VC), Tim Edmeades. Third Grade: Justin Garber, Ali Alsamail. Nic Morris, MIC.
