NEWS & NOTIFICATIONS

From the Head MasterPastoral Care Week

Pastoral Care concerns and interests in School life are at the core of everything that we do at Trinity, and inmany respects every day, let alone every week, is “pastoral care week”. However, over and above this dailyfocus we have found over the years that it is most beneficial to have a particular focus week on Pastoral Careissues, hence the background to what is now our annual Pastoral Care Week which occurs in Week 4 of Term IVevery year. This year’s programme is below for your information and I trust that where possible parents will availthemselves of some of the particular sessions geared for them, or at the very least, be able to inquire of their sonas to what he was able to gain from the specialist pastoral care session he attended. A reminder thatWednesday’s programme includes an opportunity for parents from all campuses to gather together at the HeadMaster’s Residence to uphold our boys and the School in prayer. Parents, old and new, as well as extendedfriends of the School community are most welcome – it would be great if we could have standing room only in theResidence on this occasion.

Celebrating Excellence Across The Board

A focus during this week’s Quad and Head Master’s Assemblies has been the recognition of academic excellencein the form of GPA awards and students who have achieved a very high standard of performance in the RACINational Chemistry Quiz for 2016 (see details further in this Bulletin). As a counter-balance to the excellence ofour boys, it was also most gratifying to be informed that Mrs Erin Munn and Mr Brian Lyle were acknowledged bythe Teachers’ Guild of New South Wales with the World Teachers’ Evening Recognition Award for 2016. Mrs ErinMunn was awarded the Outstanding Young Educator Award and Mr Brian Lyle, the Experienced Teacher Award – Iam sure you join with me in congratulating them on this recognition.

Finally, we had the satisfaction of recording a very pleasing beginning to the new CAS summer sporting season,with hard-fought victories for our Firsts teams in Volleyball, Tennis, Water Polo and Basketball, as well as a firstinnings victory thus far in the 1st XI Cricket. Now to maintain this positive momentum for the remainder of theterm!

From the Arthur Holt LibraryWe Can Help!

Here in the Library one of our aims is to help students find the information they need for assessment tasks,essays and other assignments. One of the best ways to find quality or “better” information is by using databases,yet these valuable tools are often overlooked by students in favour of the quick and easy Google search.Students are often put-off using databases from the outset because they do not know which one to choose. Weagree it is difficult to work out what a database offers by looking at the name alone – if only they were called“Scholarly Articles” or “Free-to-use Photographs” or “Primary Sources”.

Well, now they are. We have grouped databases together based on the types of information they provide. Doyou need newspaper articles for Economics? Try Trove or EBSCO Explora. Looking for primary sources forHistory? Search in History Database or Internet History Sourcebooks. Music recordings? Choose Naxos MusicLibrary. Choosing the right database is as easy as asking “What type of information am I looking for?”

So we invite you to take a look at our new Find the Right Database page and try out a few. Watch this space asover the coming weeks we feature tips and ideas for getting the most out of databases. And if you’re ever indoubt, ask a librarian how to find the best information for your needs. We can help!

ACADEMIC

Academic Focus | From the Geography DepartmentEducational research, such as the research by Australian educational academic John Hattie, is quite clear in itsconclusion that teachers are one of the most important factors in a student’s learning (see QR Code below formore details). Furthermore, feedback to students on their performance is a key method by which teachers canimprove student learning outcomes. In short, the quality of our feedback is pivotal to helping our studentssucceed.

Throughout 2016 the Geography Department has made the improvement of feedback a focus area. We havetrialled several strategies throughout the year to improve the feedback given to students. Firstly, the CanvaseLearning platform has been used to develop and deliver systematic feedback on identified learning outcomesfor tasks. Assessment tasks have been designed to provide a range of feedback opportunities throughout thelearning process. As a faculty, we have also undertaken Professional Learning with a consultant from theAssociation of Independent Schools of NSW.

The feedback that students give to their teachers is also important. To systematically obtain this the Geographydepartment uses feedback and evaluation surveys regularly throughout the year. Students should feel


encouraged to use this method of feedback to constructively direct their learning experiences. Students shouldalso be aware that they ultimately play the most important role in their learning.

SPORT

From the SportsmasterDRAFT FIXTURE LISTS ON WEBSITE

A copy of the draft fixture lists for the Term 4 CAS Summer season, for Basketball, Cricket, Tennis, Volleyball andWater Polo can be found by following the Senior and Middle Schools link on the Community home page of theTrinity website. Select your sport from the My Sport drop box under Fast Find on the right and then click on theseason draw. Please note that the fixtures act as a guide only and are subject to change. The Weekly FixtureSheet is the only definitive guide. It can be viewed on the website’s homepage (Sporting Fixtures) and the Sportsnoticeboard from the Tuesday evening of each week.

Sport Absences

Students have been reminded of their responsibility to attend sport for all training sessions and each Saturdayand the need to communicate in writing if there is an issue regarding attendance. A summary of the process forsport absence is listed below:

In the case of INJURY:

students are expected to attend Saturday sport and assist the team or training group (attendance attraining will be dependent upon the nature of the injury and is to be discussed with the MIC andSportsmaster)

In the case of DEBILITATING ILLNESS OR AN EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCE students must:

contact the coach directly, or through a team-mate prior to the match or training session (graded/teamsport only)deliver a medical certificate or letter to the MIC or coach on the day (for training absence) or by the end ofthe next day the student is at school (for Saturday absence). The letter is to be written and signed by aparent/guardian and should explain the reason for the absence. This letter is the number one priority inexplaining absence. Failure to submit a letter renders the absence unexplained, which has implications forour Duty of Care and student accountability. The sanction applied for unexplained absence on Saturday isa 3 hour detention and for weekdays, a 2 hour detention

In the case of exceptional circumstances that are known in advance, such as a FAMILY COMMITMENT:

parents are required to apply for leave in writing (email or letter) to the Master of the Middle or SeniorSchool prior to the week in questionstudents are required to inform their coach well in advance of the commitment so that teams can beadjusted

Code Of Conduct

I would like to encourage all students to continue to be punctual for sport and be well presented in their attire,attitude and behaviour. Boys who are unable to participate in their sport are required to attend theircommitment in full school uniform or PE gear and to support and assist their team or group. You will find a copyof the Sport Code of Conduct on the School's website by clicking here and in the School’s Record Book. Acommitment to the Code will facilitate a safe and enjoyable environment in which all can thrive and pursue theirbest.

Basketball | CAS Round 1 vs Barker1st V

A young Firsts team hold on to make their own mark early.

Trinity began the CAS season with a character building three-point victory (68-71) over a fast-finishing Barkerteam. The Greens’ trademark defence helped them establish an early lead in the opening quarter (21-15), withDavo Hickey (12Ke) proving a handful as he picked up 10 points. Jed Keogh (12Ar) shrugged off injury to playan important role inside and out, while debutant Jack Nichol (9He) gave great minutes off the bench, picking 8points for the half as the Greens headed to the main break in control (42-33).

Ryan Maranik (12Ar) was simply relentless at both ends of the court with his non-stop hustle and physicaldefence, while Tom Mackenzie (12WJ) did a great job on Barker’s big man and State player and also grabbinga bunch of offensive rebounds. Trinity’s lead was cut to five points by the end of the third period (59-54) and thisyoung side began to feel the pressure. Heading into the final minutes Barker hand forged to be just a singlepoint behind before a huge ‘three’ from Captain Jake Kerry (12Ho) gave the Greens a four-point buffer withjust 1.47 minutes left on the clock. Barker came back again at Trinity with a couple of excellent baskets from out-of-bounds plays, before two crucially made free throws from Jed Keogh with just a few seconds left iced thegame, giving this new group a confidence-boosting first up win.

start, Trinity, on the back of some inspiring play from David Carreon (11St), forged their way back into thegame, only to be down three points (18-21) at the main break.

A big ‘3’ and some in your face defence from Tom Corias (11Hi) kept Trinity in the game, but unfortunatelypoor decisions with the ball gave Barker too many easy baskets. Nicholas Driessen (12Yo) battled hard to theend, but Barker proved too strong for a hesitant Trinity team, to take the spoils by 19 points (32-51). TheGreens will have to get more from their senior players if they are to compete with the big boys again this season.

Leading Scorers

David Carreon – 7 pts.

Tom Corias – 6 pts.

Nicholas Driessen – 6 pts.

5th V

The talented Fifths started like a hurricane to establish a 10-point lead after just eight minutes. Clever use of ballinto the paint, from Andrew Kim (11We) and Anthony Nguyen (12WJ), to our ‘bigs’ Marcus Buvac (11WJ)and Jerry Ren (11Ke) was a highlight at this point in the game. After such a solid lead, Trinity’s ball retentionfell away, compounded by our lacklustre defensive structures, allowed Barker to climb back into the fray, butfortunately the Greens were able to hang on and win by four points.

6th V

The Greens started the season with a fabulous seven-point victory. In the first half though, Trinity fell ten pointsbehind due to multiple turnovers and breakdowns defensively. However, better positional play and ball retentionensured a Trinity comeback worthy of the next Rocky film. Johnson Lin (12St) and Aruren Ravichandran(12Ho) took control of the game at both ends of the court and were ably supported by Riley Wellfare (11St)and Avery Freeman (12He) in the paint. Roberto Olles (11Ar) and Joshua Roberts (11We) pressed hard inthe last ten minutes to create opportunities for their teammates.

Year 10D

It was a very good performance from Trinity, with defence being the strong point of the winning performance. Jack Watson (He) was exceptional, shooting 14 points for the game, often accepting pressure from theopposition while making the basket. Miller Tauiliili-Pelesasa (He) improved as the game went on, dominatingthe rebounds and getting a couple of nice baskets in the key.

Year 9A

Trinity had a positive start to the CAS competition, with a solid ten point win. The boys started a little slow andsluggish, but Joel Passerini's (Hi) strong play inside towards half time and early in the second half helped openup a double-digit lead. From there, solid contributions from Bailey Plummer (Du) and Asher Linkous (Yo)helped keep the margin between 10-15 points as Barker wouldn't roll over or give up.

Year 9C

Trinity came into the contest with a new game plan and structure that helped maximize their strengths. By usingspeed through the middle, the Greens started strongly against formidable opponents who were physically biggerand hungry to win at home,. Jason Rudd (WH) made countless penetrating drives off the screens of MilesAmatosero (Hi) to either score or assist to Adam Li (Sc). These three players would become our mainoffensive weapons during the game and Barker could not handle them in our well-earned ten point win and greatstart to the season.

Year 9E

Trinity bounced back from a close loss to High to overcome a very physical Barker side by nine points in a solidCopyright Trinity Grammar School 2016. All Rights Reserved. 21 of 49

team effort. Vasili Eliades (Mu) showed some great athleticism and was very strong defensively, alsomanaging to score 4 points. Jacob Alha (Ar) was the team’s leading scorer on 12 points; he showed goodpositional awareness and strong leadership skills.

Year 8A

The 8As were flawless in their impressive blow-out victory of 44 points playing precision Basketball at both endsof the floor. Tyrese Proctor (Fo) had the hot hand, nailing a barrage of three pointers, which included three ina row. Sebastian Boffa (Yo), who continues to grow in confidence each week was tenuous defensively, whichinstigated many options offensively.

Year 8C

The Cs showed great potential on weekend with a strong 22-point win. Daniel Morris (St) and Jack Braga(Du) were powerhouses at both ends of the court, leaving Barker with no answers.

Year 8D

The Ds had great start to the CAS season coming away with a strong double-digit win. Trinity began the matchstrongly and was able to hold their lead throughout the game. Olly White (Fo) was relentless at the defensiveend, while James Kern (WJ) and Matthew Chen (Hen) were constant threats when attacking with the ball.

Year 8G

Trinity were unstoppable in their game this week, defeating Barker 66-6. Every player showed excellent team-work and skill to dominate his opposition in all areas of the play. Chris Espisito (Ke) showed what he is capableof, scoring 16 points as the team’s highest point scorer. Alex Brew (Ta) was also strong in the forwards, with theman-mountain Lachlan Dock (Ta) dominating the position under the basket.

Year 8H

After a slow start, Trinity finally got their heads into gear and started playing smart basketball, eventuallydefeating Barker 31-17. Theo Hatton-Ward (Sc) had an outstanding game as the lead play-maker, while JamesPau (Ta) showed the skill level that he is capable of as a strong and dominant force on the court.

Year 8I

Tough defence by Ben Liggins (Ar) and Seamus Therong (Ho) limited Knox’s opportunities in a solid eleven-point win for the Greens. Slick passing from Maxwell Richards (Mu) and clear communication from this week’scaptain, Kosta Theodorou (We), allowed Trinity to roll as a well-oiled machine throughout the game.

Cricket | Saturday 22nd October vs St Aloysius' CollegeLast Saturday saw a lot of rain in Sydney and as a result a number of Trinity’s Cricket fixtures were cancelled. Forthose teams that did get on, there were a number of positive results.

1st XI

Day 1 of the fixture between Trinity’s 1st XI and St Aloysius' College saw Trinity come out victorious on the firstday of the game. After rain delayed the start of the match, opening bower Brad Uglow (11He) was able to takeadvantage of the new ball after lunch taking 5 wickets in his first spell and setting the tone for the game,ultimately putting St Aloysius' on the back foot. Brad was well supported by fellow opening bowler Liam Scott(11We) who took 4 wickets during the 1st innings bowling St Aloysius' out for a total of 82. With a session left toplay opening batsmen Raghavan Selvaratnam (12La) set the tone early with positive batting finishing up atthe end of the day with 66 not out and with Trinity in a commanding position at 0-114. With the 1st inningsalready won, the team will be eager to push for more runs in the opening session to help with the goal of anoutright win.

Mark Dedes (12St)

2nd XI

On Saturday 22 October, Trinity Grammar School’s 2nd XI squared off against St Aloysius' in the second of their2-day fixtures. “Consistency" had been the catch phrase in the build-up and the team were keen to put theprevious week’s disappointment behind them. The boys were at the ground early and were keen to start; eagerto see if their work during the week would pay dividends.

There had been rain over night and during the morning and as such there was an air of uncertainty as to whetheror not day 1 of this match would indeed go ahead. Fortunately, as midday approached the weather seemed tostabilise and all that was left was for captains Sanjan Naganathan (12Ta) and Rushad Parekh (12Yo) todecide (in consultation with their coach) whether bowling or batting in these less-than-ideal conditions would bebest. Their good fortune during the coin toss continued and Trinity elected to bat. Naturally, the change roomtalk centred around making it count.

The wicket offered something for both batsman and bowler; It’s “low and slow” nature in the first 15 or so oversgave the bowlers something to work with, but once batsmen were settled they found the pace of the wicket fairlyeasy to negotiate. Thus the game ebbed and flowed for much of the first two sessions. Trinity’s start was steady,but slow, accumulating 29 runs in the first 10 overs, but for no loss. However, the next 12 overs of playundoubtedly belonged to St Aloysius as they managed to take wickets as well as keep the Trinity batsmen quiet;the home team slumping to 4 – 63. The pressure was on and the Trinity team desperately needed a partnershipof substance if they were to recover and put themselves into a favourable position. Thankfully, this partnershipdid come and it came in the form of number 3 batsman Ameer Dimeglio (12La) and number 6 batsman FinnRitchie (11Ke). Their partnership lasted 19 overs, produced 71 runs and kick-started the Trinity fight back.There were valuable contributions down the order as well, most notably by number 10 Samuel Otton (12Ta)who hit a number of boundaries late in the day. Trinity ended the day on 9 – 217 and the pick of the batsmenwere Ameer Dimeglio (56), Finn Ritchie (33), Samuel Otton (30 not out) and Tim Ledden (11 Yo) (22).

The 2nd XI will now have to capitalise on this lead as they put St Aloysius into bat on day 2.

Neil Smallfield | 2nd XI Coach

10A

St Aloysius 6-154

Trinity’s bowlers toiled hard at TGS 1 Oval. The going was slow for St Aloysius’ due to some very consistentbowling from Angus McDonald (10Sc) whose 11 overs conceded the team less than 2 runs per over. BenBishop (10Hi) picked up 2 wickets for the team and Trinity stand a good chance of chasing down the target inthe second week of the match. They will need to show greater application with the bat than they did last weekbut the boys are up for the challenge.

This weekend’s fixtures sees Trinity taking on St Aloysius’ in the 1 day competition and also completing thesecond half of the game against the same opponents in the 2 day format. I wish the teams the best of luck.


This week saw 3 Trinity boys trial for the CIS Under 15 Cricket team. Congratulations to Kenneth Chu (10Mu)for being selected in the CIS side to compete in the NSW Under 15 Schoolboy championships to be held inDecember. We wish him all the best for the tournament. In the past two seasons Trinity has had boys progressthe through the tournament and make the NSW side and ultimately be selected for the Australian Under 16 team.A feat that no doubt Kenneth would be looking to emulate.

Volleyball NewsTrinity Defeated Barker 3-0 (25-7, 25-11, 25-13)

This week saw the young First VI up against Barker in the first game of the season and first game as a team. Allboys were eager, as the two schools are considered to be the most dominant in the summer competition.

Trinity got off to an excellent start gaining an early lead. Mention should go to Tom Mckenzie (12WJ) andHugh Sixsmith (12Sc) for their strong presence in the front court in spiking and blocking. A few small errors onTrinity's part gave Barker a slight opportunity to creep up; however, great defence from the backcourt andconsistent sets from Daniel Gabriel (12Hi) kept Trinity on top.

The second set saw Barker fire up and come back more determined to take the set. Trinity remained composedand played their own game, seeing Matt Rorie (12Fo) and Ollie Arkell (11WJ) showing off some great hits.Very good serving from Trinity allowed us to put a lot of pressure on the Barker side. Trinity closed the set out25-11.

In the final set Trinity worked hard to gain a lead and kept it throughout the set. Mention must go debutantsKristof Bryndum (12Sc), Alec Mckenzie (10WJ), Ken Zhang (12We) and Eliot Kern (11WJ) for theirstrong start to the season. This was a great start to the summer season for the 1st VI. We look forward to playingSt Aloysius next week.

2nd VI

The 2nds Volleyball have secured a win in their first game of the season, against a traditionally strong Barkerside. With a relatively new side, our team struggled with communication in the first set, and we went down 13-25. From this point onwards, the team had a massive turn around. Some great defence from Nathaniel Davies(11Ke) and Ben Holzwart (12WJ), boosted moral across the team as we were able to turn around difficultrallies in our favour, and win the second set. From here, there was some stellar front court work from Will Todd(12Ar) and Calvin Li (11Ar), so we were able to maintain momentum and win the final two sets, taking the win3 sets to 1. This win is incredibly encouraging for the team and certainly paved the way for the season ahead. Itwas particularly good to see the rookies in the team step up and play extremely well considering it was their firstofficial match of volleyball.

Benjamin Davies (12WJ) | 2nd VI Vice Captain

3rd VI

The 3rd VI encountered a rocky start to the season against a hot Barker side, with one of the toughest fixtures ofthe season we have faced, asking a number of questions of the newly formed side. It was clear from the openingset that this was going to be no easy match, immediately going down, with our own serving being our greatestfoe in our inability to gain and keep momentum. Some fantastic displays in defence from Owen Duke (10La)kept us breathing, though our inability to capitalise off good plays crippled our chances of winning the first set,eventually going into the break down 1-0.

The second set was a great change from the first, with a clearly energized side returning to ensure the secondset would not be our last. Consistent serving and hitting from Elliott Lamond (10WJ) gave us an early lead, andmomentum carried the team to a fairly comfortable second set win – with the tie-breaking third set looming.

Contrary to conventional play, the third set was played to 25, rather than the usual 15, something that benefitedour resurgent squad – as Barker amassed an early 6 point lead, only to be quashed by more fantasticdetermination from Duke, saving many points through sheer will and inability to give up on the play. The setwent to 25-25, with a win-by-two situation necessary to finish off the game. Unfortunately, two unforced errorswere the fatal blow to our side – with the game finishing at 28-26. There are some clear improvements to bemade, and the team looks forward to changing the result on Barker’s return trip to the School’s Gym.

GolfIndependent Schools Golf Series, Saturday 22nd October, 2016 At Strathfield GolfClub

The 2016/2017 Independent Schools Golf Series got under way at Strathfield Golf Club last Saturday.Unfortunately we were up against a juggernaut from St Ignatius’, Riverview, and we got thumped 4 – zip at thehands of our northern rivals. Nathan Finn (12Ar) prevailed for the longest and with tenacity in his match, buteventually succumbed to the pressure on the 16th green and lost 3 and 2. Tyler Beverley-Smith (8Ta) anddebutant Jason Kim (12Sc) both went down, fighting to the bitter end, 4 and 3, and Peter Kostoglou (12Sc)lost 5 and 4. The boys need to relax on the short green stuff next week as it is possible to try too hard at times!

Good golfing,

Team Opponent Score Result

1st VII Knox Grammar School 11 – 12 Win

2nd VII Knox Grammar School 9 – 13 Loss

16As Knox Grammar School 16- 4 Win

16Bs Knox Grammar School 5 -5 Draw

15s Knox Grammar School 9 – 3 Win

14As Knox Grammar School 7 – 1 Win

14Bs Knox Grammar School 1 – 7 Loss

1st VII

The key to this game was our excellent start! And the boys delivered this with a quick 3:0 lead in the firstquarter with two outstanding goals by Jacob Gadiel (11Mu) at centre forward. In the second quarter the teamdemonstrated strong defence with a good press defence from our centre back and captain James Artemi(12Hi) while Sam Yip (11La) created goal scoring opportunities. The boys fought hard in the third and fourthquarters but were unsuccessful with the opportunities that they generated, allowing Knox to stage a fight back!Going into the last minutes of the game with only a 1 goal lead, the boys fought hard to the final whistle andmanaged to take home an important win against a strong opponent. Special mention must also go to Justin Kim(11He) and Haydon Johnson (11Ke) on securing vital gaols.

2nd VII

At three quarter time Knox was up 6-8 and it looked as if it could go either way. However, early in the lastquarter Knox put in three quick goals and we were doing it tough. For some reason we were not marking upcorrectly when we were in an attacking position and allowed a Knox player to head towards our goals when therewere 10 seconds on the shot clock and when we missed the attempts, their goalie threw the ball to an unmarkedplayer. This and a few other little things are generally easy to correct. Our best player was our goalie AdamSomboli (11Ta) who was outstanding in saving many an attempted shot. Matthew Moon (12We) put in fourgoals, Tyeson Street (11WJ) three and Nathan Rohr (11WJ) two. Nathan has now scored seven goals in twogames

16As

Our 16As started the season in a spectacular way with a win strong over Knox that signalled that they will becontenders for the top positon within the 16s’ competition. The boys opened the game with four fast goals andestablished a quick lead after the first quarter. Building upon their coaching instructions, the boys didn’t stopthere and managed to lift their performance in the second half of the game. A really good performance by allteam members, but special mention must go to Ryan Hansen (10We) and Alexander Leckie (10Ho) onsecuring gaols and Oliver Buchanan (10Sc) for saving two 5m shoots.

16Bs

The boys fought hard to come back from a loss at half time to a draw against Knox at full time. Working as ateam to set up effective positions in attack and a press defence were the reasons for today’s near success. Alanand Zane both did incredible jobs in attack to get us to a respectable final result of five all by the end of the


match. Looking ahead to next week, the boys will be focusing on creating more shooting opportunities in attackand creating a more structured defence.

15s

This was a vastly improved performance compared to our trial game last weekend. The team showed far morecommitment in defence and energy in attack, minimising Knox’s attacking opportunities and converting most ofour chances into goals. Whilst all players contributed to the win, Lewis Dobbin (9Du) stood out in both attackand defence Elliott Lacey (9Hi) played well in attack by scoring the opening goal from centre forward while ourGoal keeper Michael Eid (9Ke) made a number of fine saves. Congratulations on a dominant 9 to 3 win.

14Bs

This was the first game of water polo for most of the 14Bs and although the quarters were shortened, it was agreat learning experience for the boys. The loss of 7-1 to Knox doesn't reflect the determination andperformance of the players with some exceptional goal keeping by Ben Kick (8WJ) and Tom Seeto (8Ta), andsome good team work between Henry Andersen (8Ta) and Michael Wierum (8He) to secure the teams onlypoint. Overall the 14Bs all deserve to be Trinity's Man of the Match for their first tournament game - but thisweek the honour goes to Michael Wierum (8He) for scoring what will hopefully be the first of many goals forthis team.

Tennis | Round 1 vs BarkerRound 1 of the Combined Associated Schools Tennis competition commenced last weekend in damp conditions atthe Trinity Tennis Centre. Unfortunately, only 2 of the 18 scheduled matches were contested as a result of theinclement weather. As is customary the 1st and 2nd IV travelled to the venue and found the courts damp butplayable, much to the surprise of the Barker opposition.

What ensued was an enjoyable display of high quality school boy tennis that was highly appreciated by thoselucky enough to be in attendance. Trinity was simply too strong for their Barker opposition in the Firsts winning7-1. The decisive victory was set up with good performances in the doubles, especially by the Kmet brotherswho bonded well to achieve a 6-3, 6-3 winning score line. Both Dario (10ke) and Luca (12ke) displayed ahigher degree of communication, integrating at a more advanced level than in the previous weeks encounteragainst Sydney Boys High. This paid handsome dividends as they were able to stay abreast of the opposition forthe entirety of the match.

James McCabe (9St) in action for the 1st IV Tennis

The second doubles encounter was a lot closer with the Trinity pairing of Mathew Nednanovski (10Fo) andJames McCabe (9St) just holding on for a 7-5, 7-6 victory. This was extremely pleasing, considering their 0-3deficit in the early stages of the second set. Both students should be commended for holding their nerve andfighting back to ensure a 7-2 win in the ensuing tie break.

There was a bit more margin in the singles component of the match with Dario and Mathew winning theirrespective matches 6-2, whilst James won 6-3. Unfortunately we were unable to achieve a clean sweep, with adefeat in the 4th singles. Debutant Luca Kmet went down fighting and will have learned some invaluable lessonsabout competing at the highest level of CAS Tennis.

The 2nd IV proved that they will be a force to be reckoned with this season despite losing 3-5. The team that wasmissing two key players had their chances and could have won the fixture on any other day. ReplacementsDavid Lambropolous (12Hi) and Thomas Spratt (10Mu) filled in and must be commended for their solidtennis, good sportsmanship and fighting spirit. Overall the player of the round was Jason Wu (10Ho) who in hisinaugural match for the 2nd IV was able to win all of his sets with relevant ease. Jason (who combined withThomas Spratt) was victorious in the doubles 6-3, 6-3 before demolishing his singles opponent 6-1. The newlyappointed captain of Tennis, Brendan Sleiman (12Ta), was also able to display some quality match play whilstmotivating and encouraging all other team players.

From the Science Club | Simple Cells?Vincent Van Gogh’s words echo one of the most surprising truths about Science: every living thing, from thesmallest bacterium to the tallest oak, is made up of tiny building blocks called cells. Named after theclaustrophobic chambers of 17th century monks, cells are the most basic units of life, ranging in size, form andfunction.

Year 10 have been exploring two very different cell structures, namely the plant cell and animal cell – and whatbetter way to see their features than through a microscope? We all know that onions have layers, but this weekour class discovered just how miniscule these layers were. Through a magnification of 400X, we could identifythe key features of onion cells less than ½ a millimetre in length! The cell wall, nucleus and chloroplasts of eachcell were clearly identifiable, proving to us that incredible organisation of these small (but sturdy) units is neededto make just one layer of an onion.

While Van Gogh was probably just commenting on the many strokes of his paintings, it is an intriguing thoughtthat he precisely defined the incredible power behind the simple cell!

Where have all the birds gone?

Students conducting the Aussie Backyard Bird Count: Jonathan Ertas (12Ar), Omar Fouda (12Ke), CharlieJabbour (12Fo) and Thomas Fisher (10WH)

Where Have All The Birds Gone?

I recall growing up in the Inner West of Sydney and waking to the calls of birds like Silver Eyes, Superb BlueWrens, Red Whiskered Bulbuls and White Plumed Honeyeaters. Some of these birds have all but disappearedfrom Sydney suburban backyards.

The Ecological Awareness Group students recently participated in the Aussie Backyard Bird Count held betweenthe 17th and 23rd of October. Students downloaded an app and conducted 20 minute surveys of the birds in thevicinity of their backyard. The boys also did a survey of birds at School on Oval 2 and Yeo Park. 14 species ofbirds were identified. 14 species were sighted in Strathfield, 39 in Ashfield and Summer Hill, 31 in Sylvania and65 species in Cronulla.

Conservationists and nature-loving Australians submitted 44,731 checklists across Australia and 1,475,597 birdswere counted including 654 of the 823 Australian bird species.

The top three birds across Australia for 2016 were the Rainbow Lorikeet, Noisy Miner and Australian Magpie.

Cub and Scout NewsThe Trinity Scout Group is undertaking a short course in Breaking the Cycle; Bullying it’s not a part of Scouting .Scouts Australia is addressing bullying at a policy level and at a program and youth enactment level. ScoutsAustralia does not condone any form of bulling or harassment in any section or between any individuals orgroups of individuals. Bullying and harassment is not part of the Scouting Promise and Law and Scouts have azero tolerance of bullying.

Scouts recognise that youth feel bullied at vulnerable times in their social and physical development. Throughthis program developed by Scouts Australia in partnership with the Alannah and Madeline Foundation andbacking from the World Organisation of the Scout Movement (WOSM) Messengers of Peace program, Breakingthe Cycle recognises the roles of victim, bystander and bully and taking on training to help educate individualsand the Group to become more resilient and respectful of all people.

Scouts Australia has implemented a process within Breaking the Cycle which is designed to show all membersthe steps to follow if they feel uncomfortable or bullied in a Scouting situation. These skills will flow ontoeveryday skills. They may include counselling practices, sanctions, interviews with parents, and organisationalaction at a state level depending on the severity of the issue.

This week we specifically looked at what is bullying and what it is not. We also learnt what we can do if we feelwe are being bullied or if we see a friend or other person being bullied. Here is a link to a short video preparedby Scouts Australia as part of the Breaking the Cycle program https://youtu.be/mCcMDXXn0tg

Timely Reflections | A Continuum in TimeRightly or wrongly, I like to think that, with the probable exception of Mr Cujes, I spent more time than anylayman watching the progress of the building of the Centenary Centre. From a large area of cleared space Iwatched it become a huge hole, looked in amazement at the enormous amounts of concrete and steel whichwent into the construction of its floor, walls and roof, until after just on two years of activity there was finallyrevealed on that cleared space a building which really graces the northeast portion of the School, framing withan extra elegance that other most important Trinity building, the War Memorial Chapel with the CentenaryBuilding on the Prospect Road side, and the impressive wall of the Swimming Centre on the west side. ChapelWay, also rebuilt, sweeps in from Prospect Road gates, and just with the last couple of weeks, by the inspirationand design of Mrs Cujes, has been given an extension to the Rose Garden which has always been on the northside of the Chapel, forming too the resting place of several former servants of the School whose ashes have beeninterred there. These new structures and the older features remind us that the School is a continuum in time,where, though things and, indeed people, may change and pass away, the School itself goes on. Over the years,no matter in what way, each contribution from each member of our community — boy, teacher, executivemember, parent, support staff — so many through the years — has become a part of this great School. Shouldany of them return to the School in the future they may know that they have shared and indeed still do share, inits past and future.

A concluding thought: couple of weeks ago there was a reunion of Trinity men at Bundanoon, where the oldestOld Boy who attended was David Lawrence from the Class of 1945! On last Friday I took a photo of a group ofnew lads who will be starting in Year 7 in 2016. And so we continue. Detur Gloria Soli Deo.
