ISDA Finals - Round 2

Round 2 of the ISDA finals was held last week at Ascham. Year 8 took on Monte, arguing that we

should retain the current voting age of 18 rather than lowering it to 16. Monte characterised

young people as politically engaged, and mature enough to engage in the voting process; Shore

countered with a picture of the polls awash with donkey votes, the problems of peer pressure and

family influence, and the general lack of political engagement from a majority of this sector of the

community. The Shore attack opened up a few seams in the fabric of the Monte case and led

them to a narrow yet satisfying victory. They’re through to the quarters against Abbotsleigh at

Knox this Friday.

The Year 9 team won the toss and took the affirmative on lowering the voting age to sixteen.

Against a strong Ascham side, the team advocated the maturity of 16 and 17 year olds and the

benefits that voting would bring to them and Australian society. Shore were able to dismantle a

comprehensive Ascham case about the harms of uneducated voters and won the debate. They

now progress to the quarterfinals in a tough, must-see debate against Sydney Grammar School at

Wenona this Friday.

The Senior Bs argued that we should ban

media organisations from endorsing political

parties and candidates. The team of Lachlan

Chambers, Finn McCredie, Tom Munns and

Sam Rickward have continued with their

impressive run of victories and on this

occasion knocked Brigidine out of the

competition. They will take on Barker this

Friday at Wenona.

The Old Boys’ Union invites Old Boys and their partners, current parents, staff and your

colleagues to a special evening of discovery.

Mental Spinach and unleashing your

family’s collaborative power

Are you trying to enrich your family life?

Do you want a better balance between love, work and play?

This informal evening, will have you leaving with thought prompting questions and a

new perspective on the dimensions of opportunity available in your family and relationships.

This father/daughter team are co-authors Jess and Shore Old Boy Ian Pollard (70) who set out

to create a concise collection of tools in a simple framework for meaningful reflection on life,

opportunities and big decisions. The little green pocketbook called Mental Spinach and a

range of personal development workshops is what emerged.

As they researched, collected and synthesised key works from psychology, personal

development, and a range of other genres they noticed that everything they read and

collected fell into four categories. These became the 4 Lenses of Mental Spinach.

In this presentation they will be going into detail on the story of Mental Spinach , its

applications to life and relationships and for this special occasion will be focusing on the power of

family collaboration.

6:00pm-6:30pm Drinks and canapés

Antimicrobial resistance

hen you think of the potentially

catastrophic problems that humanity

faces, you think of a few things: Perhaps the possible

scarcity of food and water, the increasing impacts of

pollution on the atmosphere, or even the idea that

global warming could contribute to major rises in sea

level. One thing that doesn’t really spring straight to

mind is antimicrobial resistance, but we truly believe

that it deserves a seat at the dinner table with some of

humanity’s biggest concerns.

Turn the clock back a few hundred years. The biggest

problem in the world was disease, which was the main

contributor to an extremely high death rate. Epidemics

were frequent and extremely dangerous, such as the

Black Death, which killed over 60% of the European

population. Can you imagine a disease killing almost

two-thirds of a whole continent’s population? It would

be front page news every day for a very, very long

time, yet it will never be a problem again, right?

Now, of course, as time progressed, so did medication,

with huge advancements in medical technology over

the past 300 years, particularly in the last century.

However, many forget that the world’s worst ever

disease struck as recently as 1918 – The Spanish Flu.

The Spanish Flu infected over 500 million people,

killing around 10% of those. To put it into perspective,

there were only approximately 1.5 billion people alive

in 1918, so the disease infected one third of the whole

world’s population. That is mind boggling.

Most of these epidemics were placed under control

after certain periods of time, but only one disease has

ever been eradicated: smallpox. The reason behind this

is because smallpox was the first disease that a vaccine

was created for. Edward Jenner back in 1796 created

the world’s first ever vaccine and almost 200 years

later in 1980, the disease was officially declared

eradicated. But it isn’t always that simple.

The biggest improvement in medication to date has

been antibiotics. They work by slowing the growth/

killing foreign bacterial cells that have entered the

body. The first ever antibiotic was discovered in 1928,

being penicillin, and it changed the way we treated

infections. However, we did not quite understand the

harms of using antibiotics until recently.

Antibiotics have fallen victim to a trend where they

are very commonly misused or overused by humans.

In many cases, doctors or GPs who prescribe

antibiotics, do so unnecessarily, and this has led to

very big problems for the future. You don’t think it,

but bacteria are just like animals, they are simply a

species, and what is the number one goal of a species?

Reproduction.

If you are unaware let me familiarise you with Charles

Darwin’s theory of natural selection, and use bacteria

as the example.

1. Selection pressure (the antibiotic which is killing off

the bacteria)

2. Mutation (one bacterium has a random mutation

giving it resistance to the antibiotic)

3. Reproduction (that bacterium reproduces, making

more resistant bacteria)

4. Population (population becomes resistant)

That is antimicrobial resistance in a nutshell and it is a

huge problem. If people continue to misuse or overuse

antibiotics, we are facing the serious concern that

antibiotics may simply not work in the future. This is a

particularly large problem in developing countries,

where people with already weakened immune systems

have no additional line of defence, meaning death

rates will rise once again.

This comes all the way back to you. The bloke who

had a little cough and got prescribed antibiotics for no

reason. Next time, just rest in bed a couple of days

instead – you may just save the world.

Mathematics think it would be fair to say that Maths isn’t

everyone’s favourite subject. For some, Maths

might even cause anxiety and tension, whether

it’s trying to solve a problem, preparing for a test, or just

focusing in class. Maths anxiety is definitely a thing,

and can affect people years after high school.

But I don’t think the solution is just to get rid of maths

from our lives, rather to just change how we think about

it. Researchers have shown us that if students and

teachers recognise maths anxiety in the classroom,

students have the ability to shift their mindset and

approach maths in a new light.

US psychology professor Carol Dweck devised the

“mindset theory”, after realising that people are often

divided into two groups: those who think they are bad at

something and cannot change it, and those who believe

their abilities can grow and improve. She reveals that

there are those with a “fixed mindset” who believe their

abilities are set in stone and unchangeable, whilst others

have a “growth mindset”, believing that with effort and

practice their abilities can change and improve.

Jo Boaler, the British education author and professor of

Mathematics Education, suggests that the “mindset

theory” can be applied to the context of the classroom.

The idea takes the personal act of problem solving, and

uses it to promote a growth mindset without a student

having to intentionally think about it.

This is because there is usually more than one way to

solve a mathematical problem. For example, if someone

were to ask you what three multiplied by four is, you

could work it out as 4+4+4 or 3+3+3+3, depending on

your preference. But if you haven’t developed

significant maths maturity or have maths anxiety, you

may be unable to see

different ways of

solving a problem.

Fortunately recent

studies reveal maths

anxiety could be a thing

of the past.

A new study measured

participants and their

motivation to solve a

problem. They

measured brain activity during the process and phrased

two different format of questions: one a traditional

mathematical teaching and another adhering to the

mathematical mindset theory. An example of this is

‘20,000 + 30,000 divided by two’ (a typical

mathematical problem), or ‘find the midpoint of 20,000

and 30,000’ (a mathematical mindset version).

It was found that participants’ motivation was much

greater when solving a mathematical mindset problem

rather than standard versions when comparing their

brain response. It was thought that the mathematical

mindset problems allowed students to treat the numbers

as points in space where they could play around with

spatial constructions.

So what can we get from all this? The research suggests

that problems should be opened up to multiple methods

of solving or that a visual component should be added

for students. This might sound vague or hard to put into

practice, but either way, I would encourage you to give

it a go. If you are one

of the many students

who dread maths or

problem solving, try to

unbox how you think

about things, because

your ability isn’t fixed

or innate, it has the

possibility to grow and

change.

The Mindset Theory


Science The Climate Debate

n the early 19th century, the call for the abolition of

slavery in Britain was met with harsh resistance. It

was said that it would mean a collapse of the

economy, ruining the wealth of Britain. It was also seen

as a competitive disadvantage, as their rivals, the French

and Dutch, were also engaging in the slave trade. Despite

this, the anti-slavery lobby, led by William Wilberforce,

pushed ahead for the greater good. The abolition of

slavery in 1807, despite great economic cost, is today

heralded as one of the greatest achievements of the

modern era. In the ensuing years, as a result of Britain’s

leadership, every colonial power abolished slavery.

Today, we face a similar, yet different debate regarding

climate change. With the recent extreme weather

conditions in Australia, the issue was pushed to the

forefront in the federal election. Candidates such as Zali

Steggall have hinged their campaigns on climate policy,

protesting the Liberals’ apparent ignorance of the issue.

While the existence of human induced climate change is

undisputed among mainstream viewpoints, the main

conflict lies in what Australia should do about it. In

essence, the question we face is: Is a reduced impact on

the environment worth the potential cost to our economy?

While the direct environmental impact of climate change

action is minimal, Australia's leadership on climate

change could result in a greater global initiative that has

tangible results. Some argue that any reduction in our

C02 emissions would be negligible in reducing the

effects of climate change, as Australia’s total climate

emissions are only 1.3% of the world's total emissions.

While this is true, when accounting for population

Australians are one of the world's largest polluters. Per

capita, Australia has the highest climate emissions out of

any developed country, barring Luxemburg (a uber-

wealthy European micronation.) Because of the extent of

our emissions, proportionally, we must accept some

responsibility for Climate Change. In addition, while the

impact of climate change policies might be minimal, our

leadership would likely cause other countries to follow.

This is not without historical precedent - on issues such

as slavery and suffrage, many countries have followed

suit after one country takes action. However, the fact

remains that in today’s right-wing, populist political

climate, particularly in the USA and parts of Europe,

climate action is not likely. It is still not unreasonable to

suggest that over the long term, as a result of leadership

from countries such as Australia, real change will occur.

The main argument against climate action is the potential

impact it will have on the Australia’s resource based

economy. In light of Australia’s stagnant economy, it

seems that climate change action would only exacerbate

things. Labor’s climate policy was estimated to cost $60

billion to Australia’s GDP by the year 2030. While this

sounds like a large amount, it is important to keep that

number in context - it represents just a tiny fraction of

Australia's projected economy of $2 trillion. The fact is

that over the long term, Climate Change has the potential

to completely destroy the world economy - affecting sea

levels, agriculture and ultimately the existence of

humanity. The small cost we have to pay now is

negligible in the long run. In addition, it is also inevitable

that Australia will have to switch to renewable energies

at some point as coal and oil are finite resources, and are

expected to be exhausted in the near future. Thus climate

change action will have a minimal impact on the

economy and is aimed at the greater good for humanity.

However, it is important not to solely blame the

government for Climate Change and place the burden of

responsibility on them. It is just as much the

responsibility of the individual as the government. It is

our individual decisions in lifestyle, transport, and

purchasing that impact the environment, after all. It is

therefore important to be mindful of our impact on the

environment and make decisions accordingly.

With the abolition of slavery, the interests of humanity as

a whole were put before economic gain, revealing that

sometimes it is best not to solely focus on the economy.

Today, we face a similar decision with climate action -

whether to put forward our short term interests in the

economy or consider the long term, devastating impacts

on the world. In the words of Professor Guy McPherson:

If you think the economy is

more important than the

environment, try holding your

breath while counting your

money.

Picture this in your mind. A world, where you

never need to smell the fumes of an adjacent car

or truck, and where traffic noise is massively

reduced. A world powered by something that

you can’t touch, which will be abundant for

billions of years. Imagine where every home has

electricity, no matter how far off the grid.

Imagine governments no longer needing to

subsidise fossil fuel production, or spend

fortunes protecting their underground fuel

sources, pipes and transmission lines. Trillions

of taxpayer dollars are freed up. Smog,

greenhouse gases and air pollution clear. Public

health and betterment improve. This is the

image of a world without fossil fuels. And it

may be closer than you think.

But the important part, is how. The coal fired

industry which took a century to build is being

replaced by solar and wind power, which have

been rapidly lowering in prices for the last 20

years. Power which cannot be dug out of the

ground or sold on markets. People don’t have to

spend millions of hours or dollars protecting a

cause which isn’t worth fighting for.

Homegrown energy is abundant in any place

that you go, and requires no bodyguard to

protect it, nor does it require hundreds of

workers and processes to properly harvest. The

price of a solar panel per watt has dropped from

$120 in 1970 to $0.37 today, and the price

continues to decline as you read. The industry is

truly on fire.

Companies like Tesla are accelerating these

rates with subtle, yet extremely impactful

initiatives. With the Model S and X, in a price

range from $30,000 to $60,000, we have cars

designed to address the middle class, in order to

bring the future to people faster than they could

imagine. Better yet, the company has halved the

price of its solar panels, in order to make the

industry fruitful.

What can you do? Turning off one standard light

for one night saves twelve tonnes of CO2 from

entering the atmosphere. One trip on a bike, rather

than a car, on average, an astonishing 20 litres of

fuel saved which doesn’t the atmosphere.. And, if

you’re ambitious, try to transform your home into

something eco-friendlier, perhaps with LED

lights, solar panels, or maybe even a Tesla car.

But the truly great thing about this case is that it

brings power to everyone. It provides sources of

power to those 1 billion people who are

inexcusably without it. The Paris Climate

Agreement is binding all nations to work

peacefully for a fossil fuel free economy. 186 of

the 195 members of the United Nations

Framework Convention on Climate Change are

completely onboard with the initiative, and the

trend is impossible to ignore.

But we must work fast. Public health will decrease

if the negatives continue to propagate in our

world. We must harness the power of the sun and

work at the speed of light. Our respective mission

is to bend the curve of emissions now, so that

renewable energy outcompetes fossil fuels in all

markets around the world, by 2020.

But, let’s thank fossil fuels for all they have done.

They have truly provided for human technological

advancement in an extraordinary way. But, now

that we comprehend the risks and side effects, and

have everlasting alternatives, they must go,

Pronto!

This transformation is the most inclusive, the most

incredible, and the most far-reaching initiative that

we have ever seen. It answers so many challenges

that plague the world. So, let’s bring the benefits

quickly, by all playing our part. How quickly can

we get to our energy new-topia? It is in our hands.

We are truly leaving “fossil” fuels in the past.

Competition: Stableford and 2BBB

First Round of Shore Golf Championships

Another breathless, sunny day was in store for the players as they lined up for what was an

ordinary Stableford competition for the members of Northbridge, but which had the added

pressure of also being the first round of two in the Shore golf championships for 2019.

The pressure told as some very large scores off

the stick started to be carded. By day’s end

nearly every player had had at least one blow

out hole that impacted their chances in the

stroke event. The Stableford event is a little

kinder though most of the field will have some

serious catching up to do if they are to threaten

the leaders. As it is, three players have cleared

out at the top with only a stroke between them

and the scene is set nicely for an exciting finish

in four weeks’ time.

Saturday marked the fourth competition round of the Cross Country season and the all-important

selection trials for CIS and GPS vs CAS squad. In the week leading up to race day, hosts Knox

Grammar announced the St Ives Showground course would be a 2km ‘undulating’ loop. I couldn’t

help but find this amusing given the definition of the word ‘undulating’ being to ‘smoothly rise and

fall in form’, especially given the history of this course and its unforgiving reputation for taking

down runners. Unfortunately, that’s where the amusing part of this story finishes for me and rise

and fall I did… but not so smoothly as I too fell victim to the ‘Showground’ stampede as the 155 open

runners entered the challenging slippery bush terrain.

On a brighter note we had some fantastic results delivered despite a strong challenge from CAS

schools and full attendance. Races kicked off with the U14 navigating their way through a newly

mapped two loop (4km) grass and gravel course leaving a dust storm in their tracks. Standout

performers on the day were Isaac Lanham who delivered a PB for the season placing 6th GPS junior

runner across the line and Nathan Stanmore who for the third time this season has taken out 2nd

place. Some very promising runs showing great improvement came from Henry Harris, Will

Curran, Lachlan Martin and Harry Hercus who all jumped about 10 GPS positions this week.

No sooner had the dust settled than the U16 Intermediates were lining up with their 200 fellow

competitors. The start line was a little quieter than usual as nerves kicked in ,having just watched the

huge tussle between the junior runners as they sprinted for the finish line trying to secure

qualification for the upcoming CIS championships. Consistently strong performer Matthew Afaras

led the Intermediates and stayed true to form despite the pressure of trials and was the 9th GPS

runner home. Pleasing results were seen from Alex Thevenon and Nicholas Laforest who kept their

cool across the 6kms and both moved up a remarkable 20 places.

Despite having watched the first aid tent fill up with rolled ankles and skinned knees our seven

senior runners began the highly anticipated Opens 8km race at great speeds knowing that a good

position early in the race was crucial. Hamish Longworth quickly broke away from his team mates

and took up a very comfortable position out front and settled into a good rhythm with the leading

pack finishing again top ten GPS. The most noteworthy runs in the senior division came from Alex

Sewell and Ben Broadley. It’s no secret this is Alex’s least favourite course yet he managed a 7

place improvement and a PB for the season finishing 35th with only seconds separating runners as

they flew down the funnel. Ben Broadley also had a standout run knocking 10 places off his previous

GPS placings. The hard work is really starting to pay off and noticeable improvements are now

coming in week after week.

This Saturday 1 June is the much anticipated SHORE hosted carnival at Long Reef Beach starting at

9am. There’s already been such a great show of support from parents offering to help setup, bake,

cook, and marshal on the day. This is one of my favourite weekends on the Cross Country calendar

but it definitely requires all hands on deck to make the day successful and one to be proud of. I know

Mr Brotherton and the Coaching Staff will be up at the crack of dawn and would appreciate all offers

of help no matter how big or small. I urge all team members to arrive early to help setup and supply

a baked item for the stall. I look forward to seeing a great team effort in putting together what will

no doubt be a successful day both on and off the track!

Juniors

The Junior side played Waverley 3, who were a little short on

dominating proceedings. Goal scorers this week were: W Cole (2),

T Florentzos (2), Z Izzard (2), A Brosnan (1), L Brown (1), J

Cambridge (1), H Frewin (1), M Gill (1), W Mason-Jones (1),

M Warner (1), J Wyborn (1).

Result: Shore: 14 – 6 – 90 def Waverley 3: 5 – 6 – 36

Intermediates

The Intermediate team had a number of boys out through injury

and illness, but still managed a comfortable victory over Knox 2.

Nick Stratton, Alexei Stewart and Matt Derbidge provided drive

out of the middle and Isaac Foote was seemingly everywhere,

kicking three goals. Other notable performers were William Wulff in

the ruck, Charlie Marshall and Zac Warburton across half-back and

Tom Bessell dominating up forward. Charlie Cole, in his first match

back from injury, took a number of strong marks. Goal

scorers were I Foote (3), T Bessell (2), B Cody-Osborne (1),

S Green (1), C Marshall (1), A Stewart (1)

Result: Shore: 9 – 14 – 68 def Knox 2: 1 – 8 – 14

Seniors

The Shore Senior team had been looking forward to playing

the Riverview Number 1 side on their home ground.

The game started at a frantic pace with hotly contested

possession and a goal scored at either end.

The Riverview boys’ support play was excellent and they

were superior in the marking contest. This allowed them to build

a comfortable halftime lead, but Shore improved its tackling and

structure later in the game and finished strongly with three goals in the final term. Riverview

deserved their win by 68 to 32, but the Shore boys continue to learn and are proving worthy

opposition for the top teams. Goal scorers were C Taylor (2), N Robson (2), A Brooks (1)

Result: Shore: 5 – 2 – 32 lost to Riverview 1: 9 – 14 – 68

Last Saturday saw almost summer like conditions out at Riverview. There were some very

competitive games with Shore having a number of wins, draws and close scores. Some notable

results included the 13E XI where Tom Ellis scored a double hat trick of four goals with Will Whiley’s

sole goal making it 5-0. Toby Ogg in the 14B’s get his third hat trick in three weeks, a great

achievement. The 15D XI came home with an impressive score of 9-0. Oscar Dean, Josh Bayliss-

Smith and Dan Rowe all scored two goals.

First X1 Report The Shore football supporters enjoyed watching the boys play football on a glorious autumn

afternoon to kick off the GPS season. A bright start from both teams but it was Shore who should

have opened the scoring and were unlucky not to take the lead. Riverview certainly responded and

caught Shore out on a set piece to take a 1-0 lead into half time. When the ball was on the ground

there was good possession with the Shore boys showing real tactical understanding playing against a

well organised Riverview team. Shore pushed for the equaliser but Riverview struck with a counter

attack to take the game by 2-0. A gutsy performance from the 1st XI who should now take this onto

their next game as they face Newington College.

Second X1 Report The 2nd XI lost in the opening round of the GPS to a strong Riverview side. The first half was tight

with few chances for either side. With 15 minutes to go Riverview eventually broke the deadlock. In

an effort to push for an equaliser, Shore conceded two late goals. Sam Dickson was tireless in centre

midfield, being part of the team’s best moments on the ball and working hard in defence.

Friday, 31 May 2019

Last Saturday saw Shore play matches against Barker College, St Aloysius’ College, St Ignatius’

College and The King’s School.

The 1st XV had a new look side leading into the important fixture against Barker. Bobby Miller

moved to five eighth and had an immediate impact on the match, executing a well worked set

play to send Jackson Wunderlich under the posts to make the scores 7 - 7 after an early Barker

try. A short time later Bobby was again in the action with a 50m intercept try to put Shore in

front, 14 - 7. Barker immediately hit back and were enjoying a numerical advantage thanks to a

yellow card to Jock Sutton. Unfortunately, a second yellow card upon his return meant that Jock

was then off for the remainder of the match, an advantage Barker exploited with great

effect. Another solo try to Bobby Miller rounded out Shore’s scoring for the match, with Barker

well ahead and enjoying playing some very impressive running rugby. The Shore 1st XV are

eagerly looking forward to this week’s fixture against Oakhill to bounce back from the

disappointing result against Barker.

The 2nd XV were quite competitive against the St Aloysius’ 1st XV. After a slow start and lapse

of concentration in the first five minutes the 2nd XV was behind 12 nil. Through sustained

pressure the Shore men were awarded a penalty try and went to half time trailing 7 – 15. After

half time St Aloysius’ scored immediately to go out to a 15 point margin. However, after some

tough work up front, Shore were able to get back into the match with tries from Ethan Holt and

Max Irving. With time all but over the Shore men had the ball and had to go the length of the

field for a win. Unfortunately, after some good control and ball running, St Aloysius’ were able

to turn the ball over resulting in a 17 – 22 loss.

The 3rd XV played Round 1 of the AAGPS Competition against Riverview 3rd XV at Riverview.

In a disappointing match the team lost 17 – 34. A number of costly errors and poor decision-

making under pressure ultimately cost the team. Whilst some parts of the match showed

promise, the Shore team was not able to sustain any pressure for any length of time. The match

was in the balance for the majority of the first half, until a late try to Riverview gave them a 17 – 5

advantage at half-time. During the second half some improvements were made, but

unfortunately a few late tries allowed Riverview to take control of the match. The 3rd XV will

look to bounce back from Round 1 with a home fixture against The Armidale School at

Northbridge on Saturday.

In other Opens matches the 4th XV lost 7 – 38 to the Barker 2nd XV, the 5th XV lost 7 – 43 to the

St Aloysius’ 2nd XV, the 6th XV lost 12 – 31 to the Barker 3rd XV, the 7th XV lost 19 – 29 to St

Aloysius’ 3rd XV, the 8th XV lost 15 – 44 to the Barker 4th XV, while the 9th XV lost 5 – 19 against

St Aloysius’ 4thXV.

The U16’s contested fixtures against Barker College and St Aloysius’ College, recording two wins

and four losses. The 16A were again very competitive but failed to take their opportunities

going down 17 – 19 to Barker, while the 16B’s (19 – 5) won well against the St Aloysius’ A’s. The

16C’s (0 – 45) and 16E’s (5 – 26) both lost their matches against the Barker B’s and C’s. Our 16D’s

had a good win 32 – 19 against the St Aloysius’ B’s, while our 16F’s had a tough time of it out at

Kings.

Our U15’s had a challenging set of fixtures winning two of their five matches. The 15A’s (31 –

12) continued their unbeaten start to the season, the 15B’s lost to the St Aloysius A’s (7 – 33) and

the 15C’s (17 – 26) also lost to the Barker B’s. The 15D’s had another strong win (43 – 17) over the

St Aloysius B’s, while our 15E’s went down 5 – 45 to the Barker C’s.

Our U14’s won three of their five fixtures. The 14A’s won 64 – 0 against Barker and the 14B’s lost

5 – 41 to St Aloysius’ A’s. The 14C’s won 28 – 5 against Barker B’s, while the 14D’s won 12 – 10

over St Aloysius’ B’s. The 14E’s struggled against the Barker C’s.

The U13 age group had another successful day winning four of their five matches. The 13A’s

(41 – 0), 13C’s (45 – 0) and 13E’s (64 – 5) all had strong wins over Barker. Our 13D’s won 46 – 10

against St Aloysius, while our 13E’s went down 5 – 48 also against St Aloysius’. Our 13B’s had a

bye.

Special mentions to Tom Klem & Hugo Orpin (both 14A), Daniel Ivanhoe (13D) and Oliver

Carney (13E) for scoring hat tricks. Bobby Miller (1st XV), Lewis Hartley (16B), Cam Johns (15A),

Vaughan O’Shea (15D), Cal Forster (14A), Marshall Le Maitre & Ollie Mackellar (both 13A),

Declan Hill & Matt Connor (both 13C), Tom Harmer (13D) and Oliver Mezrani (13E) all scored

two tries in their matches. Hugo Orpin (14A - 7 conversions), Daimon Pin (15A – 4 conversions

& a penalty), Fergus Abbott (13C – 5 conversions) & Orlando Bertini (14C - 4 conversions) all

kicked for goal well.

Team(s) of the week: 16B’s, 16D’s, 15A’s, 15D’s, 14A’s, 14C’s, 13A’s, 13C’s, 13D’s and 13E’s

Balmoral Burn

Last Sunday, Shore had over 100 boys participating in the 2019 Balmoral Burn. Shore had by far

the most teams of any boys’ school present, although many of the girls’ schools are leading the

way here. The aim of the event is to raise money for the Humpty Dumpty Foundation and Shore

raised $5400 for this very worthwhile cause.

The Shore teams were all House based with Gillespie fielding 13 teams, Whight 7, Burns 3,

Eldershaw 3 and Pascoe 1. Most of the other boys’ schools send elite Cross Country teams who

are keen to win the event and Shore has done this in the past and actually won it two years ago.

This year Sydney Grammar were the victors (not for the first time) and the Shore boys were

content to simply enjoy a bit of exercise on a beautiful Sydney morning, participating in a

tremendous community event.

The top ten Shore teams to finish were:

Congratulations to all the boys who participated

and who have helped raise funds to support

Humpty, and thank you to the many parents who

gave up their Sunday morning sleep-in to deliver

their sons to Balmoral.
