THE WEEKLY BULLETIN OF TRINITY GRAMMAR SCHOOL SENIOR SCHOOL
LENT TERM | BULLETIN III
FRIDAY 12TH FEBRUARY 2016
FROM THE HEAD MASTER
THE 2015 TRINITY GRAMMAR SCHOOL SCHOLARS
There was a definite celebratory air at Wednesday’s annual Scholars’ Assembly, when we welcomed back and celebrated with
our recent graduates and their families the outstanding academic achievements recorded by last year’s Seniors in their public
examinations. Over the years, our graduating seniors have consistently responded positively to the challenges of giving of their best
in their final public examinations and last year’s cohort was no exception.
The statistics reveal that 20 students of the Class of 2015 received an ATAR over 99, equal to the top 1% of the State, with Blake
Artemi, Tom Dickinson, James Douglas, Jordan Martenstyn and John Stapleton all achieving the maximum ATAR score of 99.95,
coming equal first in the State and also coming equal first in the world for the IB Diploma course. Some 22.6% from the Class of
2015 gained either an HSC All Round Achievers’ Award or qualified for an IB Distinction Award by achieving 40 points or more in
gaining their IB Diploma.
Impressively, 31% of last year’s Seniors finished in the top 5% of the State and overall, more than 41% achieved an ATAR score of
90 or better – a truly fine achievement for a non-selective School.
The 2015 HSC/IB results saw 39 boys qualify for our Scholars’ Assembly. These former students, who achieved such outstanding
results, did so through sustained, dedicated effort and application to their studies. They provided us with a very worthy example
to emulate in the year ahead. Further, it is worth recording that the 2015 Scholars were by no means onedimensional in relation to their involvement and commitment to School, as their Valete statements would attest.
Amongst the Scholars we had our former School Captain, two Vice Captains, 29 Prefects and five House
Captains represented.
Another highlight of the Assembly was the opportunity to welcome back our guest presenter and speaker,
Professor Tyrone Carlin (Class of 1990), Deputy Vice Chancellor (Registrar) of the University of Sydney.
Professor Carlin’s current responsibilities include managing key elements of the University’s relationship
with students from recruitment through to graduation, including a range of initiatives directed towards the
enhancement of the student experience. Prior to taking up his current post, Professor Carlin held senior
positions at the University of Sydney including Pro Vice Chancellor (education operations) and Co-Dean of

the Business School. He was Dean of Law at Macquarie University immediately prior to his appointment at Sydney. He is a Fellow of
the Australian Academy of Law and the recipient of the Law Graduates Association Medal in Law.
In introducing Professor Carlin, I also made reference to the fact that whilst at Trinity, he was very passionate about Debating, being a
member of the 1sts Debating team and very committed to Cadets where he was CUO of 1 Platoon and recipient of the Joseph Sword
of Honour. Professor Carlin’s words were indeed most apposite. His three-point address dealing with never giving
up on your goals, acknowledging that success is very much a shared endeavour and that life is not a sprint event,
captivated the attention and interest of all those present. In this regard, his references to his personal interaction with
two long-serving and revered staff members, Mr David Dixon and Mr Ian Moore, were a wonderful acknowledgement
of the efforts of our staff who commit to
supporting our boys well beyond the call
of duty.

This week saw the annual Scholars’ Assembly on Wednesday

representing the HSC and the IB, the criteria are:
1. An ATAR greater than or equal to 99

being named first in the State in any subject.
3. Being named as an HSC All-Round Achiever.
4. An IB mark of 40 or higher.
5. Selection of an HSC work for inclusion in ARTEXPRESS,

Such recognition is one of the highest accolades the School
can bestow. The Guest of Honour at Scholars’ Assembly was
Professor Tyrone Carlin, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Registrar)
at The University of Sydney. Professor Carlin is an Old Boy of
Trinity (class of 90’). He shared a very powerful message of
perseverance (playing the long game not the short game), the
importance of a shared experience in learning, and to always
follow your passions. The combined example of both our Guest
of Honour and our 2015 Trinity Scholars set a very high standard
for current students to emulate.
Congratulations Class of 2015.

NEWS FROM
THE ARTHUR HOLT LIBRARY
HAPPY LIBRARY LOVERS’ DAY!
We’ve been celebrating the library this week as we approach
Library Lovers’ Day on February 14. What is there to love
about libraries, and this one in particular? We provide
information services for students, teachers and parents that
meet the curriculum and support lifelong learning. We offer
a variety of spaces to meet the broad range of teaching
and learning needs in the school. And we promote a love of
literature, reading and storytelling!
To this end, students and teachers this week had the chance
to go on a “Blind Date with a Book”. Brown paper packages
tied up with string urged everyone to take a chance and
read something different. There was no need to worry
about outward appearances - no famous authors, no catchy
titles, no intriguing blurbs and no attention-grabbing cover
designs. Borrowers showed a great deal of excitement
about the contents of their chosen package and the potential
adventures therein. There will be lots happening in libraries
this weekend - why not visit your local public branch and
share the library love?

Timely Reflections…
By Mr Ron Ogier (1966 – 1994) and (1997 – present)
This week has been a maze of memories for me. The passing of Mr West coincided with the fiftieth anniversary of my time
at Trinity. Mr West filled forty of those years, twenty as an inspirational and encouraging Head Master and twenty as a friend
in our respective retirements. With Mr Robert Parker and Mr Brian Millett, we formed a group – all the same age within the
span of a few months – which he called “The Golden Oldies” and, as will so many of those who knew him, have cherished
memories, and give thanks for having known him.
As for other memories inspired by this week’s House Swimming Sports, again they are many. The House Sports held in the
original pool – built in the 40s – the obstacle race over and under wooden barriers, across the pool, and through inflated
inner tubes for example, provided much entertainment, while the commonly described annual washing of the boarding house
cutlery, where the cutlery was thrown into the pool with House representatives diving in to retrieve as many pieces as they
could was also a popular event. The original pool was enlarged and covered and heated in the eighties, complete with an
elegantly chipped out section at the diving end to make it the correct dimensions, all serving us handsomely for many years
until its refurbishing last year, as its big brother, the full sized pool in the Aquatic Centre made its appearance, having been
constructed over the last two years.
How interesting it is to observe that the lads who have joined us this year probably have no idea of the turmoil that the
Centre’s building site was over the construction period. To them it has always been there! And yet they in turn may witness the
demolition of old materiel and the building of new, so joining with those of the past to continue making the School an ongoing,
growing concern, with the over-arching principle to which we subscribe that it is God who is our architect, and God to whom
the glory is given.

RUGBY
PRE-SEASON REPORT
As a university student in South Africa, I remember the saying that when the
Jacaranda trees began to shed their flowers, it was time to start studying
for the exams.
The cue for our Rugby community that Rugby is about to embark on the
2016 season is that the Super Rugby trials have commenced (thankfully,
the Waratahs won their game against the Brumbies, and Cameron Orr,
a recent Trinity Grammar School graduate, earned a place in the team,
playing off the bench for the ‘Tahs’.)
Many of our boys are most likely beginning to dream and hope for high
representative honours and successes in the season ahead. However,
hope is not a strategy, but planning is.
I would like to encourage our boys, no matter their level of participation, to
have goals that are supported by clear steps to assist them in fulfilling their
ambitions. This includes a fitness and nutrition guide that may require the
assistance of coaches and Sport staff.
As the Winter Sports Trials are five weeks away, being fore-warned is forearmed.

BASKETBALL
CAS RND. 6 VERSUS ST. ALOYSIUS’
1ST V
The Greens came out firing in the second round of the CAS, as
they dominated Aloy’s in the first quarter to take a defining lead
(27-5) on the back of their trade mark pressure defence. Riley
Smith (12Ke) dominated both ends with ten points and five
boards in the opening period, while Jarryd Fernandes (12La)
seemed to be everywhere, also picking up seven points. Trinity
didn’t let up when Tom Mackenzie (11WJ) and Sebastian Diaz
(10Ta) entered the game, keeping the intensity high as the Firsts
went to the break with a overwhelming thirty point lead (51-21).
The second half provided Trinity with a chance to share the
minutes amongst the playing group and experiment with some
different combinations. Ryan Maranik (11Ar) worked tirelessly,
harassing the Aloysius’ backcourt while John Bechara (12Mu)
banged hard in the paint. A barrage of long bombs from Jake
Kerry (11Ho) and Davo Hickey (11Ke) in the final quarter saw
the boys from Summer Hill dominate the period (20-12) and keep
their undefeated season alive with a commanding thirty-six point
victory (85-49).

2ND V
A substandard performance from Trinity resulted in a disappointing
loss to start the second round of the CAS. Throughout the contest
Trinity showed glimpses of what had them at the top of the table
heading into the summer break, with James Spanos (12Ho)
connecting on some sharp offensive moves and Liam Rasch
(12WJ) proving an intimidating presence in the paint.
Ryan Maranik (11Ar) finishes off a Trinity fast-break
Andrew Jamieson-Grigg (11Ho) and Ollie Davis (11Ke) found
a little rhythm in the second half that saw the Greens come
storming back at Aloy’s, but poor decisions at both ends of
the floor ultimately stifled any Trinity momentum, resulting in a
tough defeat by 12 points (25-37). Fortunately, a surprise loss
to co-leader Barker keeps Trinity at the top of the table with their
Hornsby rival with four important games to go.
Leading Scorers
Ollie Davis
8 pts.
James Spanos
7 pts.
3RD V
A slow start had Trinity down six points at the break. A determined
effort and better defence led to many steals and as usual, the
Thirds came home strongly in the second half. The pairing of
Paul Orphanides (12Sc) and Joseph Latif (12WJ) stepped
up the pressure and secured the game. Paul Orphanides also
managed a game high score of 14 points.
4TH V
Another good win from the Fourths with some solid intensity at
both ends of the court. Game high ten points went to Ken Zhang
(11We), while Antony Bonaccorso (12St) was strong under the
basket, providing plenty of possession which gave Trinity the
confidence to control the game.
10As
Trinity was determined to defend their home court, which was
evident right from the tip as the boys imposed their will on the
game. Outstanding defence by David Carreon (St) resulted in
John Bechara (12Mu) makes a jump shot over the Aloy’s defence
great offence; whilst Cooper Young’s (He) hot hand extended
the lead late in the game. Howeve, the day belonged to Justin
Jasa (Ho), as he shredded the Aloy’s defence time and time
again, leading his team to a comfortable win.
10Bs
Trinity was looking to start round two on a positive note, but got
off to a slow start due to foul trouble and careless turnovers.
Strong play on both ends by Darcy Edwards (WJ) and Jonathon
Roseworn (WJ) sparked Trinity late in the half to take the lead at
the main break. Outstanding team defence and numerous made
free throws by Andrew Jin (WJ) ensured the Greens would get
their first win in 2016.
10Cs
The 10Cs were a bit rusty after the long holiday break and took
a little while to find their stride. In the end, Trinity won the match
comfortably, but by no means were playing their best. William
Bonaccorso (St) showed a big improvement, leading the
scoring with 8 points and backed up by a good performance by
Harrison Haritos (Ta).
10Ds
The mighty 10Ds continued their brilliant form with a dominant
performance. They were selfless in attack, often giving up a good
shot for a teammate to get a better one. Andrew Kim (We) was
on fire in attack and Jerry Ren (Ke) was strong and relentless
in defence.
10Es
Trinity played a much tougher match than the 35-14 score line
indicated. Joshua Ward (Sc) made a major contribution with
13 points and William Xie (Fo) and Benny Ouyang (Ke) were
dominant under the basket.
10Fs
The Greens dominated in their 41 point victory, with Joshua
Roberts (We) and Ned Hatton-Ward (Sc) showing some
excellent finishing to contribute 26 points between them. Defence
was again the cornerstone of a great result, with players doing
their job brilliantly.
9Fs
Trinity came from behind to record an eleven-point win.
Alexander Williams (St) guided the team with excellent drives
into the paint and hard-nose defence, while Julian Toomey (Ta)
punished the opposition with his mid-range jumpers.
7As
Trinity came out a little slow, but once they adjusted to the pace
of the game got it through sets of hands for easy baskets in
transition. All boys contributed, with constant changes to share
the minutes in a solid first up twenty-four point victory. Special
mention must go to Haydon Johnson (WH), Bertie Alcock
(WJ) and Jack Casimir (WH), who worked tirelessly at both end
of the floor.
8As
Trinity came out firing and shot to an early lead through pushing
the ball offensively, which led to easy baskets. The 8As did a
good job of running their full court pressure, which had Aloy’s
on the back foot for the majority of the game. Both Jack Nichol
(He) and Luke Nichol (He) led the way on both ends of the floor.
While there is still work to be done, the boys have begun 2016
the same way they finished 2015-- with a big win!

ANNUAL PDHPE LIFE SAVING EXCURSION
Last Tuesday all of Year 8 ventured to beautiful Manly Beach for the annual PDHPE Life Saving excursion. For some
students this was their first visit to Manly.
On the day, the boys were split into three groups and rotated around the following activities:
1) Ocean Survival Skills where they learnt how to: float on their back, wade water and perform sculling skills, while
learning how to get out of a potentially dangerous rip.
2) Surf negotiation Skills, where they learnt how to dolphin dive (dive under the waves) and body surfing .
3) Board Paddling, where they learnt how to escape a potentially dangerous rip on a paddle board.
An important component of the Stage 4 syllabus is “demonstrating movement skills through a range of experiences
including aquatics activities such as water safety skills, water games and sports”. Living in Australia it is absolutely vital
to acquire and develop skills that will ensure our safety and enjoyment of our beautiful beaches and the water sports we
all enjoy.
I would like to thank all of Year 8 for their enthusiasm and, for many boys, their willingness to try something new.

CAS 1 DAY VS ST ALOYSIUS
Saturday saw the first of the CAS One day matches take place
for a number of Trinity teams. It was a day of mixed fortunes,
with some excellent results being recorded, as well as some
efforts that will need to be improved upon! In an extremely rare
occurrence the 3rd XI and the 10Bs both had their matches finishing
as ties.
1ST XI
TGS 2-106 def St Aloysius 102
In the opening fixture of the one day matches for the CAS
premiership, the Trinity 1st XI desperately needed a win in
order to stay in the race for the CAS title. The day started off
well with Trinity’s Austin Waugh (11St) claiming a wicket in the
first over. After grabbing the early wicket, St Aloysius steadied
themselves after a few dropped chances to reach 1-60. From
this point on some very tight bowling by both Liam Scott (10We)
and Anuj Aloysius (12SC) who claimed 4 wickets and 3 wickets
respectively, allowed Trinity to gain the ascendency. In a good
display by all our bowlers, St Aloysius were dismissed for 102.
The job was not done yet for Trinity as they still needed to chase
the runs down against a strong bowling side. A few scares
early in the first over were to be the only ones throughout the
comprehensive win by Trinity in which our Captain of Cricket,
Julian Dimas (12Ta), compiled a very aggressive 87 not out from
a mere 52 balls, which was described by the opposition captain
as one of the best innings he has ever seen. Julian demonstrated
a vast array of powerful, yet elegant, shots. His ability to pick
the right ball to hit was superb. His timing and placement were
also precise. Although Julian was able to score easily, he was
well supported at the other end to take the pressure off him,
which allowed the Trinity side to complete the victory within 14
overs. Some great signs were shown on Saturday and with a
little bit improvement Trinity has a high chance of bringing back
the shield.
Raghavan Selvaratnam (11La)
2ND XI
TGS 8-150 def St Aloysius 9-100
The 2nd XI side entered the second half of the season full of
confidence, after having been undefeated during the two-day
matches. The side batted first at TGS 1 and were able to post
a respectable total of 8-150. The runs were shared around
the batsmen, with Sanjan Naganathan (11Ta), Jason Quach
(11Ke), and Ameer Dimeglio (11La) all making contributions to
the total. In reply, St Aloysius could only manage to score 9-100.
Some excellent bowling by Lachlan Fitch (11Hi) 4-16 put a real
dent in the run chase. A well-deserved victory and the 2nd XI
juggernaut keeps rolling on.
10A
TGS 7-111 def St Aloysius 110
A thrilling encounter took place in the 10A match. Bowling first,
Trinity was able to keep St Aloysius to a modest total of 110.
Blake Byrne (10WH) and James Hart (10Sc) bowled well to
claim 3 wickets apiece. The run chase was not one completed
without minor heart palpitations. The equation got down to Trinity
requiring 6 runs to win with 3 balls in hand. Jonathan Hooper
(10Ar) was at the crease and tried to send the ball into orbit. It
was a big swing and a miss! Luckily the ball missed the stumps
as well. After some “encouragement” from the St Aloysius’
bowler, Jonathan faced up for the next ball and sent it flying over
the point boundary for 6 and earned Trinity a fantastic victory
with one ball to spare.
8A
Trinity 103 def St Aloysius 87
Batting first, Trinity found themselves in unfamiliar hot water with
4 wickets down and the score only in the 30s. It was pleasing
to see the fighting spirit shown by the lower order in an attempt
to get the score towards a defendable total. William Barlow
(8Ar), Patrick Fouracre (8WH), and Pierce Foley (8Fo) all put
a high price on their wicket and edged Trinity up to a score of
103. Trinity’s bowlers were able to apply constant pressure, and
eventually dismiss St Aloysius for 87, earning the side a 16 run
victory and keeping them undefeated for this season.
This coming CAS round Trinity faces Waverley, and I would like
to wish all teams the best of luck as they look to improve on last
week’s performances.

SUN SAFETY AT SPORT
Encouraging our boys to take responsibility for sun safety is an important part of the role of parents and coaches. It is
our collective responsibility to help educate them about it. The following is an excerpt from the Trinity Sport Coach/Cocurricular Staff Information Handbook. I would ask that Parents assist in delivering this message also:
Regularly remind boys about, and continue to facilitate time dedicated specifically to:
>> hydration (drink fluids, especially water, regularly, prior to, during and after
training/matches/activities)
>> wearing hats and applying sunscreen
>> spending plenty of time in the shade, especially in warmer weather
Boys should continue to bring and apply their own sunscreen regularly and wear
their Trinity hat. For those who require it, sunscreen is made available in the
Sports and Co-curricular Office (Q0.1), Special Duties Master’s Office and at
training sessions for sports such as cricket and tennis.

Winning rate: 36% (4 Wins: 2 ties: 1 draw: 8 losses)
TENNIS
The resumption of the CAS Tennis competition occurred last
weekend with the round 6 clash against St Aloysius’ College. The
1st IV travelled to Tennis Cove with aspirations of keeping their
undefeated run intact. This was always going to be a challenge
against a strong opposition who have the number one ranked
CAS player in their midst. The St Aloysius’ Captain and number
one player did in fact dominate proceedings, winning all of the
sets that he contested giving the opposition 3 of the 8 points on
offer. It was however the depth of talent within the Trinity team
which allowed them to dictate terms and win the remaining 5 sets
and the overall match by 5 sets to 3.
Dario Kmet (9Ke) in action for the 1st IV
Our first doubles pairing of Dario Kmet (9Ke) and Alex Ibrahim
(10Ho) were thoroughly outplayed in their rain-affected first set
losing 1-6. However, much to their credit they staged a good
comeback in their 2nd set only to go down 5-7. The high number
of unforced errors from the base line and net area was the telling
weakness for the pairing who will have to rectify this aspect
of their game if they want to be competitive against the better
opposition pairings. The 2nd pairing of Mathew Nedanovski
(9Fo) and James McCabe (8St) kept the team in contention with
a decisive 6-0, 6-1 victory squaring the sets on completion of the
Doubles component of the match.
The only singles loss in the encounter was that of Dario Kmet,
who lost a hard-fought match 4-6 to the number one ranked CAS
player. Despite losing, he must be commended on his quality
of play and tenaciousness on the court which allowed him to
vastly improve upon his 0-6 loss to the same opponent in the
first round of the competition. All other Trinity players registered
solid singles wins against less able opponents on the day. The
team sits on top of the competition ladder on 56 points with a 5.5
point lead ahead of nearest rivals Knox College with 4 remaining
fixtures yet to be contested.
Like their First team counterparts, the 2nd IV won by the same
margin 5-3. Congratulations must be given to our boys for their
perseverance and mental toughness in a match that had 3 tie
break sets. Trinity was able to convert 2 of the 3 tiebreakers which
allowed them to set up the win. In particular Kevin Batliwala
(12Yo) and Anthony Tsougranis (10Ke) must be mentioned for
their tenacious singles match play and subsequent victories.
Best of luck to all teams in what promises to be an engaging
fixture against Waverley College tomorrow!
Jeremy Dykgraaff | MIC Tennis
9As
Unfortunately, due to heavy morning rain, courts were only
available for the 9As and hence 9Bs were cancelled. The 9As
fought hard to maintain their winning streak from Term 4 and they
were rewarded with 6 wining sets. The doubles partnerships were
Edward Lai (9St) and Jason Wu (9Ho) and Alexander Valiozis
(9Yo) and Thomas Spratt (9Ta). Both Doubles teams played
well before taking out 4 sets in a row in the singles component of
the match. Overall it was a great start for the term.
Margaret Hanna | 9As Coach
8As AND 8Bs
The first round of the 2016 calendar was delayed when rain
began to fall over Haberfield on Saturday. As the skies began
to clear the tennis started, with David Kim (8WH) and Daniel
Skarzynski (8We) giving Trinity the early lead with a dominant
6-4 victory as both boys shook off the cobwebs after our extended
break. After a slow start, Andrew Peng (8He) and Tom Jin
(8Yo) were able to mimic the success of their teammates with an
entertaining 6-4 win with superb serving from both boys. Andrew
and Daniel were both able to continue Trinity’s winning ways in
the A1 and A4 singles as they out rallied their opponents for 6-2
wins. Special mention must go to Tom for providing the match of
the day as he and his opponent frequently presented the crowd
with extended rallies featuring up to 25 shots!
St Aloysius’ College were too strong in the B division as they
outmuscled Trinity 5 sets to 1. Having lost both doubles 6-4,
Trinity were on the back foot and failed to recover despite strong
Joshua Olpindo (11Ar)
singles performances. As the clock approached 10:30, Scott Lee
(8St) was able to increase his aggression and close off a welldeserved 7-6 win as his consistent serving and much improved
backhand kept him in the longer point of the breaker. I would like
to commend all the boys for staying back and supporting both
Tom and Scott, even though the matches went slightly over time.
I wish all the boys the best of luck this weekend.
Joseph Fung | 8As and 8Bs Coach
7As AND 7Bs
The day was filled with excitement as the Year 7A and B tennis
teams arrived for their first fixture at the Trinity Tennis Centre.
In the 7A match Cameron Ong (7St) and Justin Yang (7WH)
came out of the blocks well and were up 2-1 early before being
outgunned in the consistency stakes to go down 6 games to 2.
In the other doubles Lachlan Dock (7Ta) and Liam Ling (7La)
showed promise and fight before narrowly going down 6 games
to 4. In the singles St Aloysius proved too strong, winning each
set, but Liam fought very hard before going down 6 games to 3.
In the 7Bs Nathan Xie (7St) and Harry Protopsaltis (7Yo) were
the top pairing ,but encountered a strong opposition team going
down 6 games to 1. A highlight of the day was the pairing of
Elias Chahine (7Ke) and Deon Kontonis (7Fo), who managed
to out-power and out-scramble their opposite numbers, winning
6 games to 2. Dion backed this up with a singles win without
dropping a game, having an undefeated day on his Senior
School tennis debut. Benjamin Prsa (7La) subbed in for Elias in
the singles to make his debut, but unfortunately went down 6-2.
It was a good learning experience for the boys on the day.
Consistency of shot, more rally balls and possibly not trying to hit
the ball so hard combined with good training court time will see
them well prepared to meet Waverley College in Round 2.

VOLLEYBALL
TRINITY DEFEATED ST ALOYSIUS’
3-0 (25-11, 25-20, 25-19)
Last Saturday, the Trinity 1st VI made a fiery resurgence in their
second round against the ever-improving St Aloysius. Despite the
months since an official fixture, we were in great form and played
with intensity and purpose. Due to the absence of Captain Lewis
Jupp (12WH), the team as a whole could do nothing but rise to
the occasion. This was achieved, however, though we could not
have done so without the outstanding on and off court support
from Will Obrien (12WJ) and Michael Amin (12WH), bringing
an outstanding attitude that gets the team over the line weekly.
Libero Jared Attia (12Yo) performed marvellously in backcourt,
offering accurate and controlled passing off difficult serving and
deceptive attack. This allowed the two setters, Daniel Gabriel
(11Hi) and Ben Wheen (11Fo) to perform at a very high level
by delivering consistently dexterous, refined and deceitful sets
that allowed the powerhouse outside hitters such as Jared
Phillis (12Mu), Peter Braga (11Du), and Jarryd Fernandes
(12La) and middle blockers Thomas Mackenzie (11WJ), and
Matthew Rorie (11Fo) to aggressively spike the ball, often over
the St Aloysius’ block and with significant power, wherever they
pleased. The team should be congratulated for their success,
and their work both over the holidays and in recent weeks. As
the summer season begins to slow down, and the winter season
looms, Trinity Volleyball will be preparing for its biggest season
yet. It will undoubtedly be a spectacle to behold, and all are
encouraged to get behind the Volleyball programme.
Angus Webster (12WJ) | 1st VI Vice-Captain
TRINITY DEFEATED ST ALOYSIUS’
3-0 (25-6, 25-14, 15-6)
The Trinity seconds were glad to take the home ground advantage
against St Aloysius after previously playing them away last term.
The advantage appeared to be crucial as our captain was injured
and both another player and the coach were unable to make it.
However, the boys didn’t let anything distract them and seemed
to be unfazed by the fact that we were down to just 7 team
members. In the first set, great serving from our libero-turnedsetter Jonah Newman (11WJ) gave us a great lead starting
us off at 11-0. Some good hitting from the front court and great
defence by Matthew West (12Du) took us to our 25-6 victory in
the first set. In the second set some unforced errors began to
creep in on the trinity side leading to the set starting off as neck
and neck. However, some good communication from Joshua
Gereis (12Ar) and some tactical tipping by Philip Davies (12Ke)
helped us achieve our 25-14 victory in our second set. Seeing as
we play best of three sets, we had already won the match by the
time we started the third set which allowed the boys to be relaxed
but not complacent. To prove this, Hugh Sixsmith (11Sc) and
Oliver Arkell (10WJ) hit confidently giving us victory in three
straight sets. Good work everyone!

Our 1sts VI came out firing holding Scots’ to a 5-3 deficit at the
end of the 1st quarter. Unfortunately mistakes crept into our
game as Scots’ continued to capitalise on their counter attacks.
Easy turnovers enabled Scots’ to build a large lead at half time
which we were unable to reduce. Chris Artemi (13 Hi) managed
to find the back of the net on 5 occasions along with Sam Yip
(10La), James Artemi (11Hi), and Keegan Street (12WJ).
2NDs
What a game! 1-1 after the first quarter, 4-4 at halftime and 6-6
at three quarter time! With one and a half minutes to go we
missed an opportunity to score and Scots’ got a quick break.
The defence from both teams was fierce and Scots’ got the ball
back with 30 seconds on the clock. The Trinity defence was
again so passionate that two players were given major fouls and
sent to the corner. Five against three and Scots’ scored. The
entire game was an emotional rollercoaster. Congratulations to
our goal scorers: Noah Thomas (12He), Kean McCaw (11Ke),
Matthew Innes (11Ta) and Matthew Moon (11We) while Ryan
Paget (12Mu) was again outstanding in the goals.
16As
This game was a battle between two schools nudging for top spot
on the leader board. Both teams battled hard in a low scoring
and minimal mistakes game. Scots’ managed to score two in
the first quarter to Trinity’s one which ended up being the only
difference between these two sides at the final whistle. Although
unfortunate to grab the win, all boys played above themselves
and gained invaluable close game experience. Jacob Gadiel
(10Mu) managed to bag four goals for his team along with Ethan
Hansford’s (10He) two goals. Well done on an excellent team
performance!
Jacob Elmasry (12He) | 2nd VI Captain
16Bs
TRINITY DEFEATED ST ALOYSIUS’ 3-0 (25-16, 25-18)
The 16Bs dominated this game from the first swim off. They
moved the ball around quickly, finding key players as well as
assisting with good off the play movement to help create goal
scoring opportunities. The pressure applied to Scots’ while
defending was too strong for Scots’, forcing easy turn overs and
loose passes. This win was due to a good team effort on the day.
For the first game back the 3rd VI faced up against St. Aloysius
who were strong opponents, thanks however to a great effort by
the team we were able to emerge victorious. The first set began
and we set off to a great start winning many quick points thanks
to a series of powerful serves by Nicholas Tsiakos (10We) we
were able to win the set 16-25. The second set began soon after
and Dean Bozionelos (11Ta) managed to produce many great
hits and sets securing us a second set win of 18-25.
Isaac Barden (12Yo) | 3rd VI Captain
15s
Our boys began the game with a lot of confidence and established
a quick 6 goal lead. The team didn’t stop there and maintained
the same pace throughout the entire game, securing a nice 26:0
win.
14AS
A surprisingly good score against a very strong opposition! Our
teamwork stood out with an overall forceful defensive display
which resulted in many turnovers which enabled us to take
advantage of scoring opportunities. A number of players were
required to play in positions that they were unaccustomed to
and managed well. In such a fine team effort it would be hard to
highlight an individual field player but mention should be made of
Michael Eid’s (8Ke) goalkeeping. His best game of the season!
13s GREEN AND WHITE
SCOUTS
A big week at Scouts this week with new cubs and scouts from
Prep, Junior and Middle Schools coming along to see what we
do! This week it was First Aid. The Venturers, with the assistance
of Patrol Leaders, discussed the principles of DRSABCD, what
the important items for a first aid kit are, and taught the scouts
some safe ways to carry an injured person. Next week we will
run some scenarios where the cubs and scouts can learn and
demonstrate how they respond to an emergency and apply firstaid. We also had a great game of forcings-back on the No2 oval.
The 13s faced very tough St Aloysius’ opponents over the
weekend. In addition, due to external sporting commitments, a
number of the boys were unable to play, leading to a combined
13s Green and White team playing two games.
In the first game the boys went down 9-3 in a closer match than
the score showed. The team swam up and down the pool well,
getting several good steals, although passing is an aspect that
could be improved. Notable mention goes to Andy Lee (7Fo)
for scoring two and Juno Ananda (7Ar) for his one goal in this
match.
The second match was a much more one-sided affair, however,
with the boys undoubtedly fatigued after the first match, for they
went down 24-1. In future games, the boys will need to work
on ensuring they stay between their goal and the player they’re
marking, as well as concentrating on holding possession for
longer in attack with safer passes.
Despite these losses, credit goes to the boys’ strong positive
attitude during the match, even in the face of such a strong team,
something that was commented upon by the parents around the
pool.

Part 2
Last week in the Prep and Junior News, we wrote about selfleadership. There are 4 types of leadership that we use in
Scouting. This week we will discuss the other three
2. Cooperative Leadership: Being cooperative means
supporting each other in working towards a goal.
Examples of cooperative leadership includes Listening
attentively to directions, and asking questions when you
don’t understand; Being patient and cheerful when things
are difficult; and doing your best to contribute to the activity,
being active and aware of what is going on around you.
3. Supportive Leadership: Supportive leaders actively
assist their leaders and fellow Scouts by being kind, friendly
and helpful at every opportunity.
Examples of supportive leadership include: Helping another
Scout carry out a task; Sharing your skills and knowledge
with other Scouts; Helping a fellow Scout when they are
discouraged.
4. Directive Leadership: Scouts can lead themselves,
follow cooperatively and help their fellow Scouts they are
ready to guide their patrol and troop. Such scouts will help
direct their patrol and troop during activities and make plans
to help their troop and patrol.
Examples of directive leadership include: Planning a
camping trip, patrol meeting, or other activity; Directing
fellow Scouts so they have fun and get the most out of what
has been planned; and Work with each kind of leadership in
every Scout.
All students interested in Scouts are welcome at 3rd
Summer Hill (Trinity Grammar) – the Group is currently
running programs for all Trinity boys from 7.5 years up to
10.5 years (Cubs); 10 years up to 15 years (Scouts); and 15

NEW SENIOR MATHEMATICS CLUB INITIATIVE ON
THINKING MATHEMATICALLY
This term, the Mathematics Club has introduced a new
initiative in its programme on Thinking Mathematically. The
new Australian curriculum has four proficiency strands viz.
Understanding, Fluency, Problem solving and Reasoning.
This will radically change the way that students are taught and
assessed. The workshops that will be delivered to our boys have
been developed under the auspices of CSIRO’s Mathematicians
in Schools project in an attempt to do the following:
• motivate, interest and excite students studying mathematics,
• enable them to attack problems with confidence,
• put arithmetic and algebra on a sound mathematical basis.
It has been given in about 15 schools to date to students from
Years 4 – 12 with great success. These workshops will be
particularly relevant to Years 10, 11 and 12 students.
Workshop Content:
>> Why we study Mathematics
>> Origins of Mathematics and counting

CHESS
TRINITY
CHESS
Last Friday marked the beginning of the
Combined
Associated
School
Chess
Competition. The Trinity boys set off to face
St. Aloysius’ College. Leading up towards
the competition, it was hard to differentiate
between players in order to create the
strongest team possible for the competition.
The stakes were high. The long sought after
chant “Who won the Chess?” was on the
line. Under the supervision of Mr. Nguyen,
we set out to retain the CJS Purdy Cup.
With the integration of chess coaching from
previous terms plus the constant support from
other teachers, the boys were able to go in
confident.
The Trinity Grammar Junior team started
the afternoon with a clean sweep against St.
Aloysius’ College with Joshua Yeoh (8Sc)
beating his opponent in a flash with Tom
Jin (8Yo) following suit, soon after. Selwyn
Chang (8Ar) along with Anton Demark
(8Sc) defeated their opponents with ease.
Our Junior team’s matches were all finished
in under ten minutes, giving Trinity Grammar
School a 4-0 start. Many players from this
team are returning for their second year in
this age level. All goes well for the Trinity
Grammar School Junior (Year 7 and 8) team
and it looks as though they are going to be a
difficult combination to defeat for the rest of
the upcoming CAS Chess season.
The Intermediates were formidable, however,
still a bit rusty from the holiday break. The
Intermediate team ended up in second place
on the afternoon proceedings. Lead by Kevin
Cloke (9Du), they played an intense set of
matches, but Kevin was unable to defend
against his opponents checkmate. Dylan Lin
(10Du) and Calvin Li (10Ar) also fell short,
getting checkmated in quick succession.
However, when all hope seemed lost, Jordan
Gupta (8WJ) managed to out manoeuvre his
opponent, bringing the Intermediates to a 1-3
score line.
The Trinity Grammar School Senior team
were just as fortunate as the Junior’s.
Remo Pascale (12Mu) and Neil Lu (11Yo)
outclassed their opponents, finishing early due to their prime form and unmatched
experience. Nam Phu (12Fo), our Chess Captain, handled his opponent with
ease. He gave no signs of losing as he carefully calculated his next move while
formulating a way to swiftly checkmate his opponent. Calvin Fong (12Ta), played a
long match lasting one and a half hours, however a lapse in concentration during a
complex problem, lead to an unfortunate blunder eventually leading to his opponent
winning. Overall the Senior team finished on top with a score of 3-1.
In conclusion, Trinity defeated St. Aloysius with a score of 8-4. The first victory over
St. Aloysius is comforting, however it is still too early to relax. With many tougher
games against Knox and Barker coming up. The boys must get back into prime form
in order to retain the CJS Purdy Cup.
I wish all our Chess players’ good luck as they play off against Waverly next week.

Mathematics to become a prerequisite for University of
Sydney admission from 2019
The University of Sydney will lead the charge to address
the national crisis in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) by introducing mathematic prerequisites
for a number of its courses from 2019. Amid growing concerns
over falling standards in subjects requiring mathematics, the
University of Sydney will become the first university in NSW to
require year 12 students to have completed at least two-unit
mathematics for 61 of its courses in order to meet requirements
for admission. The changes, which apply from 2019 in order to
allow sufficient time for current year 10 students to select senior
subjects which fulfil the new entry requirements, will impact a
range of courses, including economics, commerce, engineering
and IT, psychology, pharmacy, vet science and science.

On Thursday 19th May, the School will host a joint OTU/RTO
Careers and Industry Expo at Summer Hill Campus from 5PM
in the Centenary Centre. The event is dedicated to all career
areas and vocational education training both traditional and nontraditional trades will be show-cased along with the opportunity to
speak with Old Boys, individually, about a wide range of careers.
NSW/ACT Undergraduate University Courses: Typically,
bonus points are awarded for performance in English and
Mathematics and a range of other courses appropriate to
particular faculties at university. Usually there is a maximum of
5 subject bonus points available. Each university, and faculties
within the universities, allocate bonus points differently so that
it is difficult to say exactly what bonus points you might expect
to receive. Students are advised to check specific university
faculty provisions for each course to see if their HSC or IB course
attracts bonus points. This information is for students in Years
10, 11 and 12 as it may impact on the individual student’s subject
selection and the level at which these courses are chosen.
