See the Shore Association Weekly for all the details Round 3 of the GPS Debating competition offered some passionate clashes with Riverview on international affairs. The standard of debating within this school continues to improve as the topics have increased in difficulty, particularly for the junior years. Year 7 and 8 students grappled with the nutty topic ‘that we should only give aid to democracies’; Year 9 were dealt a wordy hand with the topic ‘That United Nations members who don't meet their obligations under international treaties should not be allowed to serve on the Security Council.’ Congratulations to the 9Bs, 8As and 8Bs on their wins. The Year 10Bs – Ben Jefferson, Stanley Luk, Tim Ogborne and Oliver Dixon – had a standout debate. All speakers were eloquent and demonstrated a superior understanding of the topic ‘that extreme poverty should be an adequate reason to seek asylum.’ The debate became a clash of ethics and morality with an impressive discussion of how best to end world poverty. The adjudicator remarked on the clarity of ideas expressed by the team. Congratulations to them and their colleagues in the 10As who also took home victory on the night. The panel of adjudicators was split on the outcome of the 1sts debate – unfortunately on balance leaning towards Riverview. The 2nds put in a good performance but also went down to the opposition. Well done to the 3rds – Lucas Humbel, Basil Jones, Vinay Kancharla on their victory Friday, 14th August 2015 Page 642 Friday, 14th August 2015 Page 643 2015 AUSTRALIAN SCHOOLS SCIENCE COMPETITION In 2015, more than 2 million students took part in the world's largest science competition, organised by the University of New South Wales.

The tour visits the major areas of interest in relation to the Vietnam War and the Khmer Rouge years in Cambodia. In Vietnam we will explore Hanoi via cyclo and see ‘Uncle Ho’ in the flesh before travelling north to stay with villagers in the Mai Chau valley. From Hanoi we then travel south via the overnight Reunification Express and tour the DMZ in order to better understand wartime military strategy. Continuing south, we experience the energy of Saigon, including a crawl through the Cu Chi Tunnels. In Cambodia we explore Phnom Penh and the grisly Killing Fields. The tour concludes with the aweinspiring Angkor Wat temples and a visit to the Sunrise Children’s Village orphanage. The tour is open to boys currently in Years 7, 8, 9 and 10. Depending on interest levels, the tour will either be for 16 or 24 students. The expected departure date is April 9 and the arrival home date is April 20. The expected cost is $4300, which will include all transport, some meals, travel insurance, accommodation, visas, guides, taxes and entry fees. Expressions of interest to Mr Paterson on 99004766 or cpaterso@shore.nsw.edu.au Holiday Workshops will be offered, from Thursday 17th September, to Year 11 and 12 boys studying for the HSC in the upcoming vacation. These have proven successful in providing boys with structure which complements their individual study programmes. Each 3 hour Holiday Workshop session will consist of coverage of important HSC topics in that subject. A mix of strategies will be used in order to maximise learning: revision lecture, structured tutorial and discussion. Workshops will generally be limited to a minimum of 7 and a maximum of approximately 20 boys. A fee of $60 (which includes GST) will be charged per (3 hour) workshop, which represents excellent value compared to externally run HSC lecture courses. Boys are encouraged strongly to make good use of the workshops and are expected to stay to the end of each workshop. A selection form will be e-mailed to each boy in Year 12 and is to be returned to Ms. Lamb, Director of Studies Secretary. Boys may choose as many sessions as they like. Every attempt will be made to accommodate all boys, but it might be necessary to restrict the number of boys in a particular workshop, depending upon demand. This will be done on a first come first served basis. Charges will be made to the next fees statement on a no-refund basis. A list of all available workshops will be available on the internet on the school’s Website on Friday, 28th August: http://www.shore.nsw.edu.au : Curriculum/Holiday Workshops. Boys will not be required to wear school uniform. Boys are not encouraged to drive to school for the workshops. However, if they do drive they are not allowed to park in the front driveway under any circumstances. We do hope that each boy will participate in the workshops, which, according to boys in the Classes of 1999-2014, contributed well to their success at the HSC examinations.

Contact: https://www.tafensw.edu.au/ https://www.tafensw.edu.au/courses/study-options Throughout the year a number of our boys need helpto complete Assessments or sit Exams Exams are stressful at the best of times, imagine how much more stressful it becomes if you can’t read or write due to a medical condition or accidental broken limb. Knowing that there is a helping hand can relieve some of that stress. The Academic Support Department is currently looking for volunteers to scribe for Years 7-12. Assessments generally last 40 mins whilst exams can vary between 40 to 80 mins in Years 7-9, 1-2 hours in Years 10-12 and may be up to 3 hours in the HSC. From time to time we are also in need of volunteers to scribe for Mathematics 2 Unit and 3 Unit. Volunteers for scribing in Mathematics should have at least completed Mathematics 2 Unit at the HSC. Please consider becoming a scribe. It is an invaluable role in the school and one that is extremely rewarding. You may be able to help with several exams or just one. Any amount of time given is greatly appreciated by the boys. No experience is necessary and instructions are given before you start For further information contact Marg Sproule in Academic Support Ph. 9956 1105 or email msproule@shore.nsw.edu.au Friday, 14th August 2015 Page 668 Music Updates: Upcoming Concerts/Event at a glance: 18th August Lunchtime concert* rd 23 August St Albans Evensong (chapel Choir) 23rd August State Band Championships 27th August HSC Recital st th 31 Aug - 11 Sept HSC dates 4th September American Tea th 6 September Chapel Choir singing at Year 12 Service 11th September Celebrations Dinner Lunchtime concert* 16th September Lunchtime Concerts: These events are an opportunity for students to perform for students at Shore.

Congratulations! Sydney Eisteddfod Musical successes: CB Cross 2nd place in Vocal Performance 14 years and Highly Commended in Song from a Musical 14 years BCD Henchman Highly Commended in Vocal Performance 14 years Congratulations and thank you to their Shore Peripatetic vocal teacher, Mr. Richardson, for preparing and supporting the boys at this event. Gloria! The 2015 ‘Gloria!’ Concert was held on the 5th August under the musical direction of Dr. Carolyn Watson. Dr. Watson is an Australian conductor and the newly appointed Director of Orchestral Activities at Texas State University. From 2011—2013, Carolyn was Orchestra Conductor at the world-renowned Interlochen Arts Academy, the premier American pre-professional institution for music and the arts. Carolyn has a connection to our community as she was once a Music teacher here at Shore, and we are delighted to be working with her once again. At the Gloria! Concert the program featured performances by Shore co-curricular groups, and Queenwood, School for Girls as well as combined musical items. The evening began with the combined Shore Strings Ensemble directed by Mrs Hellmers, who delighted the audience with an arrangement of the Duke Ellington classic, “It Don’t Need A Thing, If It Ain’t Got That Swing”, before transforming the stage for the young voices in the Treble/Alto choir who sang Edward Elgars’ celebrated “Ave Verum”. Next was a performance of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical stage hit “Any Dream Will Do” under the guidance of Mrs. Macaulay with accompaniment by Mr. Fox. Following this performance, the newly established Shore/Queenwood vocal ensemble soared musically with stylistic elegant lightness in Laurisdens “O Nata Lux”, directed by Mrs Macaulay who was assisted by Mrs Williams, the Choir Master at Queenwood School. The Tenor/ Bass Choir were directed by Mrs Waters and they performed the popular ‘mash-up’ of “Bright Lights, Bigger City/ Magic” made famous in the movie “Pitch Perfect 2”. The next performance was by the ForeShore vocal ensemble. The hugely popular song “Run to You” by Pentatonix, was conducted and directed by Shore Music Captain, TZ Hicks (Year 12), before the group broke out into the African spiritual “Shut de Do”, led by Mrs Macaulay. Friday, 14th August 2015 Page 669 The audience was then delighted by a moving performance of “The Snow” by Elgar, which featured Queenwood singers and violinists, directed by Mrs Williams and accompanied by Miss Jones. Following this was the Shore String Quartet performing “Csardas” by Michael McLean which featured a performance capturing the gypsy style. Directed by Mrs Macaulay, the Chapel Choir closed this section with a performance of two works, “Sicut Cervus” by Palestrina, written to celebrate Psalm 42, and the touching folk classic “Since You Went Away” by Otto Mortensen, which was taught to the choir earlier in the term by the wonderful a-capella group, The Idea of North at Choir Camp. Following an interview with Dr. Watson and Mrs Macaulay about the upcoming excerpts from Gloria by Vivaldi, 150 singers and musicians took to the stage to sing: Gloria! In excelsis Deo Et in terra pax hominibus Gratias agimus tibi Propter magnam gloriam Glory be to God on high And peace on earth to the men of good will We give thanks to thee Thy great glory Under the inspired baton of Dr. Watson, the community of Shore singers and musicians lifted their voices to produce a truly glorious and uplifting sound. The audience was thrilled by the energy and excitement maintained by the students, staff and parents, who came together to produce such an inspiring rendition of this masterwork. I was truly delighted with the outcome – the programme was extremely diverse, showcasing the many musical talents of the students, who have been inspired and ably led by our talented and accomplished Music Captains, TZ Hicks and CL Fielke. The students have been inspirational in their preparation – I congratulate every performer in the Gloria! Concert for their hours, days, weeks and months of dedication to achieve musical excellence. My hope is that the concert continues to demonstrate that the boys are examples of our music vision being fulfilled, namely, for the boys to be inspired, accomplished and responsible musicians who are able to enjoy and humbly serve all with their God-given musical skills and creative talents. The Gloria! concert was a vibrant musical celebration of Music at Shore School. We look forward to musical collaboration within the Shore community in 2016. Music Celebrations dinner – 11th September Students in involved in Music (Curriculum and Co-Curricular) will have received an invitation to attend the inaugural Music Celebration dinner. It is evening of dinner, drinks and music to celebrate the accomplishments of music students involved in the Shore Department.

Thomas Barnes, 2015 Captain of Boats, has just finished his first representative tour in what I am sure will be the first of many. Back in April, Thomas was selected in the Australian Junior coxed four (seen above with Tom sitting in the 2 seat) to compete in the World Junior Rowing Championships. This regatta also served as a test event for the upcoming Olympic games in Rio. The crew that was made up from boys from St Josephs, Scots and Shore had a good solid preparation, quite regularly performing better than their team mates were in coxless boats. The crew trained all through some of Sydney’s coldest weather which proved to be in stark contrast with the warm “carnival” weather that they found when they arrived at the Olympic venue. Throughout the regatta the boys performed well but came up against some very strong opposition in the crews from Europe who I must say have a very different preparation than the southern hemisphere crews, coming off hard racing only 1 month earlier as opposed to most of the Australian and New Zealand crews going months without any real hard opposition. The boys were one of four Australian crews to qualify for the A-Final. In the Final the boys found themselves in 3rd place after the first 500m but then came under fire from the crews from the USA and Italy. The crew finished in 5th place but the experience gained in the campaign was worth more than any medal they could have received. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Thomas on his outstanding season. He has as always represented the Shore school community and its boat club with pride, a pride which was seen when he pulled on his green and gold rowing suit in what should be the first of many campaigns.

It was another great day of rugby with fine weather throughout the day. As this was the beginning of the second rotation of fixtures with GPS schools, teams looked to maintain their dominance or improve on their previous game against Kings. Kings are renowned for their physicality at the breakdown and attacking the blind side. It was again evident this was the strategy of many of their teams. Shore was able to combat this in many of the games and came away with 15 wins and a draw from our 28 fixtures on the day. The 3rd XV had a bye in their competition while a few of their players were chosen to reserve for the 2nd XV. Despite a number of injuries affecting the GPS squad, the 3rd XV look forward to their upcoming game against High 1st XV this weekend. In the 2nd XV game the team was victorious against a strong Kings line-up, defending their try line in the dying stages of the game, where desperation prevailed and they were able to secure their first win of the GPS Competition. The 1st XV suffered a 0 – 32 defeat, where Shore failed to retain possession and were passive in defence. For the majority of the game the 1st XV were defending against a physical Kings outfit which were able to maintain possession for multiple phases and capitalise on our mistakes. Despite this there were strong performances from both Eddie Gregory and Max Sinclair. The GPS teams would like to thank all our boys, Old Boyd and parents at Northbridge for their support. Good luck to all our rugby teams this weekend for their fixtures against Riverview.

The Under 15 age group proved to be most successful, winning the Cs 1 – 0 ( an energetic goal to J Croker) and the As 2 - 1. This game was dominated by the Shore team who controlled the centre of the pitch and were able to send accurate passes into the forward line. The scorers were Lachie Dent and Sam Williams. The 2nd XI was dealt a major blow prior to the match with several players being taken up to the 1st XI due to illness and injury. That said, the team played with passion and a determination to secure their first points in the competition. Harry Whitman, Luke Mezrani and Ollie Kennedy were tireless in the centre of the field, directing the attack to their imposing forwards Jack Gillespie and Rhys Goldingay. Unfortunately the team was beaten 1 – 0 but will take solace from their performance. The 1st XI was confident before their clash with defending Premiers, St. Ignatius’ College. The match opened with a flurry of passing and within the first 5 minutes, Jack Meyers had slotted home a telling goal from close range. This rocked St Ignatius’, who took some time to regain composure and were on the receiving end of several yellow cards. A telling moment in the first half was the red carding of one of the SIC defenders however the Shore team did not capitalise on this opportunity. The team relaxed and with an air of complacency they lost their control of the centre of the pitch. In doing so the team allowed SIC to score an equaliser and then take the lead with 20 minutes to go in the match. At this point the 1st XI revitalised their aggression and determination. The communication lifted and the attack was directed to the wings where Oscar Smith proved to be a handful. He was assisted by Charlie Wheatley who was pushing forward in a bid to score the equaliser. The team had a number of scoring opportunities: Jack Meyers hit the post with a header from point blank range and a number of other shots were sprayed wide of the mark. In the final minute, Shore received a free kick which Tom Ascroft coolly slotted to gain a hard earned draw.
