Natasha Terry-Armstrong (MIC TKD)
We are looking for enthusiastic young men who
are currently in Year 9 to travel with the Shore
Antips team to Tanzania, Africa, in 2014 (to travel
when they are in Year 10)
The expedition programme results in a leadershipfocused journey that combines community project
service work (e.g. with a Masai community in
Tanzania), a physical challenge (e.g. trekking up
Mt Meru) and independent travel skills
development and sightseeing (perhaps safari on the
Serengeti plain, or snorkelling in Zanzibar). The
philosophy is to broaden the horizons of young
people, take them away from the main tourist path
and open their eyes to the world, its cultures, its
people and their place in it.
Students are actively involved in the planning and
execution of their own expedition under
professional supervision. The students will be
challenged, will experience leadership and will
immerse themselves in a totally different culture. In
turn, they will call upon qualities of resilience,
determination and responsibility.

Parent and Son Small
-bore (0.22 calibre)
shooting competition
The annual Parent and Son Small-bore
competition was held on the Saturday the 31st
August. Daniel Perry (Year 7) and his father,
Jon, won the competition shield with a combined
score of 347 (out of a possible 400 using the new
electronic targeting system). Daniel was also the
‘King of the Range’ with an excellent score of
169 out of 200. The second best pair was
Andrew Young (Year 7) and his father, Bruce,
with a score of 331. Third place went to Joshua
Longstaff (Year 11) and his father, Julian, with a
score of 322. In fourth place was Miles Christie
(Year 11) and his mother, Christine, scoring 318
and in fifth, William Anderson (Year 10) and his
father, Robert, on 316.
The presentation of the Small-bore shield was
followed by drinks, pies and sausage rolls to
complete the event. The day proved very
enjoyable and rewarding for all shooters.
Thanks to Tom Harvey, Ursula Bayliss, all
supporters and parents who assisted on the day.
It is most encouraging to see the large number of
boys shooting with jackets and slings. These
shooters will form the core of the full-bore squad
in 2014.

MIC Shore Rifle Shooting
Shore had another solid evening last Friday against
St Ignatius College, winning seven debates. A
clean sweep of losses in Year 7 began the night on
a bad note but was no surprise given the topic dealt
with moving the long term unemployed to labourstarved rural areas, not an everyday topic of
conversation in Year 7. Results were better in
Years 8, 9 and 10 with the 8As remaining equal top
of the table thanks to their fifth win, the 9As
winning their second in a row and the 10As
returning to the winners' circle. A fourth successive
victory to the 10Bs provided us with a clean sweep
(two from two) in Year 10 on the night. The 8Cs,
in their first outing under new coach Robert Oliver,
also earned a good win. (Robert adjudicated.)
Sadly our Firsts were again outdone by an emotive
topic and an accomplished opposition, but our
Seconds and Thirds performed strongly to provide
the Thirds with their third win of the season and
the Seconds with their first. The gallant Fourths
(James Balzer, Kevin Liman and Panayiotis
Xenos) were valiant against older boys in their
second debate of the evening but were unable to
maintain their unbeaten record.
This week, again contrary to the information in the
School Diary, we travel to College Street, Sydney
as we tackle Sydney Grammar School on the up to
the minute topic area of International Current
Affairs. Strong support for the juniors at 6.45 and
the seniors at 7.45 would be appreciated as we
attempt to finish in style on this final evening of
debating for the season.

THE
ROAR!
The Year 12 musicians have officially completed
the prac component of their HSC music courses,
with the HSC Performance Examinations having
taken place this week. I applaud the boys for the
work they have put in throughout the year which
has enabled them to master their challenging
programmes and I wish them luck in their
upcoming HSC examinations. I hope that they will
continue to find release from the stress of their
work in Music through continuing to play and
practise their instruments. It is a skill to be
treasured throughout the rest of their lives.
On Saturday 7 September at 6pm, Shore Chapel
Choir will sing Evensong at St. Clement’s,
Mosman. It will be a wonderful opportunity to
worship together out outside of Shore. All in the
Shore Community are encouraged to attend to
experience this wonderful, historic service and to
support the boys.
The much anticipated American Tea is this Friday,
6th September and it promises, as always, to be a
great day of festivities for all. At 10:00am
ForeShore will be performing on the Chapel Lawn
and at 12:35pm the Stage Band will present its
traditional up-beat set overlooking the Hall Quad
whilst the Senior String Quartet will entertain those
on the Chapel Lawn. All ensembles are ready to go,
so make sure you come along and enjoy all that
they have prepared so enthusiastically.
I hope to see you there!
Holiday Workshops will be offered, from Thursday
19th 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 $55 (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 handed 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
Thursday, 15th August:

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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__OSyznVDOY
We do hope that each boy will participate in the
workshops, which, according to boys in the Classes
of 1999-2012, contributed well to their success at
the HSC examinations.

“Good clear and Angry” - David Marr
Editorial
“You haven’t seen anything yet.”
ith only a few days to go before
polling day, more and more
Australians are deciding to cast
a blank vote. As Kevin Rudd launched his
campaign with the promise that we “haven’t
seen anything yet,” it seems that the entire
nation has been holding its breath for a
number of years and is now long overdue to
breathe out the exhalations of unlikeable
politicians and excessive melodrama.
From the axing of a fiery trailblazer now
forgotten in the deluge of powerhungry
manoeuvrings to the current face-off between Tony
Abbott and Kevin Rudd, it seems that the choice is
once again the lesser of two evils. Looking forward,
we can enjoy either another three years of Labor who
will supposedly send the nation into disarray and
overspend as usual or we can frolic under a hot sun as
climate emissions rise and the economy crumbles into
Greek pillars of sand under the Coalition.
Even though we vote for parties and not leaders,
popularity is still the main herder of the masses.
Somehow Tony Abbott, one time misogynist and
sadist, is now more likeable. Or at least tolerable.
Whilst Kevin Rudd and Labor have gone from
positive to negative, as they are now labelled as
scaremongers with their endless warnings on our
media for people smugglers and asylum seekers not
to get on the boats. Even the likeable and nerdy PM
appears to have realised the impotence of a stream of
tweets and selfies as both leaders call in their families
to make them appear more human.
Overall, it comes down to the future. Leaving the past
behind, Rudd is a changed man and Abbott is keen to
consolidate our economy and get us “back into the
black.” As we look to the future it is up to us as a
collective to decide not only which women and men
will be blasted into Parliament House, but the future
of our nation. Although for many neither candidate
merits more than a cursory glance and a derisive
sneer, in just a few days, one man will reign
supreme.

Secretarial
A
n Australian is now the President of the United
Nations Security Council. As we’d like to think,
we hold the keys to the mighty diplomatic
monster truck that has the power to “recommend
appropriate procedures or methods of adjustment” in the
words of the Charter. Kevin Rudd would, in his typically
optimistic style regarding foreign affairs, regard us as a
nation of influence across the world. A case in point is the
current escalation of event in the Syrian Civil War. Tony
Abbott, forever to Mr. Rudd’s contrary, channeled his
inner Realist and perhaps brought the notion of Australia’s
significant international political clout back down to Earth.
But in such an important period in both the life of the
country and the world, who is right? And depending on
how voters choose, will the election’s result cause a
change in our position?
The Rudd camp and its jet-setting culture sets its sights
firmly upon the idea that Australia has a real role to play in
the theatre of international affairs. We are, after all
currently a member and the President of the UN Security
Council, a member of the G20 countries, we have a
relatively strong economy and are a prime example of
Western culture. So does this translate to power? Well if
we take a glance at the Syrian situation, Rudd is in favour
of condemning the Assad regime for its suspected use of
chemical weapons on its own people. However, if we were
to engage in military action, it would certainly not be a
campaign spearheaded by Australian forces. American and
French battleships and aircraft carriers have been deployed
to the Mediterranean, in waiting for the word from
wherever they see applicable. Their armadas dwarf the
contribution that Australia could contribute.
And this is the Abbott sentiment regarding the situation in
Syria. Abbott’s stance seems conservative in relative terms
and to some, a more realistic evaluation of Australia’s
position. However, it may be closer to a self-fulfilling
prophecy if he were elected. This exact moderate
perspective will reflect the world’s perception of Australia
as a diminutive world power. So perhaps whilst not
sticking our nose into issues which we have no role in, we
might continue to foster our international, especially
regional, relationships to build our influence in the hope
that one day, Australia stands amongst the nations of the
world, higher amongst equals.

I was hoping to interview the Captain of Rock

at this stage there is no specified captain.

Rock climbing colours.
Announced this year, students are now actually
eligible for rock climbing colours.
So if Shore is suddenly taking rock climbing
seriously, why are no students watching the
tournaments?
Why is there no encouragement to attend the
trainings by the cheer captains in Headmasters
Assembly?
Why are there no Shore boys cheering on the
sidelines, chanting ‘Waltzing Matilda’ and ‘Oompa
Loompa’?
Fielke thinks this is all about to change. “I see rock
climbing becoming more popular in years to come.

Arsenal vs. Tottenham match review
which Lloris pushed away. At the other end Szczesny
was down quickly to stop a Townsend shot at his near
post, while Aaron Ramsey skewed a shot over the bar
after good play from Cazorla and Walcott.
Townsend tested Szczesny again with a low shot which
the Arsenal keeper did well to hold, before Arsenal
suffered another blow when Jack Wilshere picked up
an injury. He was replaced by new old signing Mathieu
Flamini, and the teams went in level at the break.
The second half began in cagey fashion with Flamini
booked for a strong challenge, and Ramsey penalised
for a tackle high up the pitch in the Spurs half.
Olivier Giroud saw a decent effort deflect just wide
after a great Cazorla break but Spurs had more of the
ball and upped it to try and find the equaliser. It meant
they left space in behind and Giroud almost found
Walcott but Lloris was out quickly again to snuff out
the danger.
Spurs then lost Capoue to injury, replacing him and
Townsend with Lamela and Sandro, before Wojciech
Szczesny kept Arsenal in it. The keeper got down at
full stretch to a deflected shot, followed by a massive
penalty box scramble which ended up as an Arsenal
goal kick.
It was almost 2-0 in the 79th minute. Giroud did
brilliantly down the right hand side, he got past
Sandro, pulled it back for Walcott who was again
denied by a Lloris save.
Nacho Monreal replaced Tomas Rosicky as Arsene
Wenger looked to shore things up, then in 5 minutes of
injury time took off Walcott and replaced him with
Sagna.
Spurs piled on the pressure in the final few minutes
with all manner of goalmouth action and clearances but
Arsenal were committed and strong, none more so than
Giroud who put in a massive shift.
In the end it was a good win to Arsenal.
Arsenal one, £100m nil.
Arsenal put in a performance to silence some of the
doubters with a 1-0 win over Spurs at the Emirates on
Monday morning.
There was an early blow for Arsene Wenger as Bacary
Sagna was taken ill overnight and dropped to the bench
with Carl Jenkinson continuing at right back and
Laurent Koscielny back in the centre of the defence.
Santi Cazorla had the first effort of the game, drawing
a fine save from Lloris with a free kick that was going
into the top corner. From the resulting corner Giroud
headed over after rising highest.
A couple of minutes later the Spaniard almost scored,
again from a free kick. He drove the ball low under the
wall and saw it fizz just wide of the post with Lloris
well beaten.
Spurs found good space in wide areas, and new signing
Roberto Soldado saw his goal-bound shot blocked by
Per Mertesacker. The visitors had plenty of possession
and pressed Arsenal high up the pitch, not allowing the
home side to get any kind of rhythm going.
But in the 23rd minute the Gunners went ahead.
Arsenal moved it brilliantly through midfield with
Cazorla and Ramsey, it was played wide to Walcott
who had a sight of goal, but he squared the ball to the
onrushing Oliver Giroud who poked it home at the
near post. 1-0.
Giroud then put in great defensive work, allowing
Ramsey to set up Walcott for a shot from a tight angle TJF

Shore School hosted St. Ignatius College at Northbridge for the final time this season. St Ignatius were
always going to be difficult competitors throughout all age groups and Shore looked forward to competing
against them. This was the final time Year 12 football players were able to compete at Northbridge, driving
them all to go out in style.
The atmosphere around Northbridge was palpable with many boys, staff and family gathering about the
grounds, making for a very promising day of football. Congratulations due to the 6th XI that posted the
only win of the Open teams defeating Riverview 4-0. It was great to see all four goals coming from Year
12 boys: Hartcher, Clark, Shepherd and Dixon, a great way to finish their final game at Northbridge. The
2nd XI had a good game, but unfortunately lost to a very strong Riverview side 4-1. Alex Lobb scored a
great goal in the first half to put Shore in with a fighting chance to defeat Riverview as the scores were
level at 1 all at half time. However, ill-discipline cost the team with Riverview scoring in the second half to
confirm their victory over Shore. Well done to all the boys on what was a strong performance against a
good side. A special shout out goes to Year 12 boys; Oly Sherman, Toby Kensell, Dan McLean and Tom
Pottie who played their final game at Northbridge this year. They have led their team very well so far this
season, and we thank you.
Shore’s 1st XI was up against a formidable Riverview side that was playing to win the Premiership
outright. Riverview had been undefeated and scored 27 goals up until last weekend’s game so Shore knew
they were in for a tough contest. Before the game started, the Shore team gathered in the change rooms and
spoke of how they did not regard the score as important, but more important was the way in which they
played with pride and a desire to win, something not shown against Riverview before. Shore wanted to
prove themselves as a strong footballing side and one that would take it up to the strongest team and fight
till the end of the 80 minutes to prove a point not just to Riverview, but to the other GPS Schools. Shore’s
first half was immense, playing the best football they had all season. Unfortunately Riverview scored, but
Shore responded perfectly with a goal immediately after from Charlie Cox to equalize. At half time the
score was 2-1 in Riverview’s favour, but Shore had successfully rattled them in a way they had not been
rattled all season. Shore came out in the second half fighting, knowing that a win was well within their
grasp, however, with a couple of late game injuries, Riverview was able to break the backline with some
strong plays and scored 2 more goals, taking their lead to 4-1 by the end of the second half. It was
unfortunate to go down by this margin when the majority of the game was held at 2-1, but the Shore team
played with pride and fought to the end of the game. They should be extremely proud of their efforts,
nobody could have asked anything more from them. Special mention goes to Charlie Booth for another
outstanding performance making many crucial saves keeping Shore in touch throughout the match.
Congratulations go to the St. Ignatius College and their 1st XI for winning the 2013 Football Premiership.
A well deserved achievement.
In other results, the 13Es had a great 4-1 win with Kim scoring a hat-trick. Well done! The 13As had
another good win showing great skill and teamwork to continue their impressive season. 15Ds also had a
strong win against Riverview winning 3-0, with Gates scoring 2 and Gorddard scoring another goal to
consolidate their result.
Thank you to all Year 12 boys for playing and representing Shore Football throughout their schooling. It
has been greatly appreciated and their commitment has certainly helped raise the profile of the sport within
the school.

Last Saturday the Shore School hosted St Ignatius, Riverview at Northbridge in the final home game
of the season and the last game for the departing Year 12s at the Shore grounds. The weather was once
again sunny and it proved to be a very enjoyable and successful day for Shore across all age groups.
Of the top sides, the 3rd XV in their final game of the season lost to St Ignatius’ College in what was a
great game to end the season despite the disappointing result.
The 2nd XV match was entertaining and fiercely contested. Against a big, physical Riverview pack,
Shore executed a superb drifting driving line out to take an early 7-0 lead. Unfortunately a number of
new combinations in the team did not have the opportunity to gel and were tested throughout the
match with the Shore boys unable to maintain enough possession to build genuine pressure on
Riverview. Final score Riverview 29 Shore 14.
The 1st XV faced a physical and in form Riverview side also suffering from injuries. The clash
between the two schools typified schoolboy sport with great sportsmanship and respect for the
opposition demonstrated throughout the match. Shore raced out of the blocks with good forward play
from Angus Cooke setting the standard for the rest of the game. Good interplay between Xander
Jackman and Harry Emery and then strong running from Jack Clancy saw Matt Dowsett crash over the
line to give Shore the lead after just five minutes. The 10 Year Old Boy Reunion (Class of 2003) at
Northbridge provided the players with a bit of extra motivation in an emotional day for the Year 12
boys. After 15 minutes and a Jum Woodhill line break, Shore were on the front foot though now
trailing 5-14. Oli Stump continued as the form hooker of the competition with some big hits and Toby
Cooke continued to threaten with every touch, linking well with the ever-present Hugh Berkman.
The vocal and supportive Shore crowd led by Matt Anderson and Nick Stace continued to lift the
Shore boys. Shore began to play an expansive game and this game plan seemed to play to our
strengths. At the 25th minute mark the Riverview winger received a flat pass to break the line, he raced
along the sideline for some 40m travelling at a high speed. Harvey Duncan made the cover tackle of
the season which will live in everyone’s memory for years to come and stopped a certain try. With the
standard set for the afternoon the Shore side lifted. Shore trailed 12-21 at half time following a try to
Jack Clancy after a charge down. The vocal crowed however sensed an opportunity as the Ignatius
pack began to tire.
After half time following strong runs from Al Holmes a Court and Henry Wrench Shore began to
threaten at every opportunity. Jum Woodhill and Lawson Muir played with intensity all day and we
were rewarded with a try to Toby Cooke. The score was now 17-21 after 20 minutes of play and the
game was there for the taking. It was Riverview, though, that then ran away with the game although
Shore finished the game off strongly almost scoring again but the score finished at 17-33. Ultimately a
lack of possession and defensive lapses let Shore down against an inform Riverview side.
The Shore sides will look to bounce back as they play Newington at Stanmore in their 150th
Anniversary Celebrations. Newington currently lead the GPS competition, however Shore will look to
spoil the party. Shore should be commended on the spirit in which they played, and the way many
boys from teams below stepped up, most notably Xander Jackman who demonstrated fine leadership
in his run on debut for the 1st XV.
