The world is round so that friendship may encircle it. – Teilhard de Chardin SJ Issue 2013/18
THE RECTOR
Welcome back to Term III. This is a significant term, especially for
our Year 12s as they complete their Trial HSC Examinations and
Valete ceremonies. We pray the Spirit guides them through this final
journey of their schooling. The Junior School has just commenced
their Readathon, which will continue throughout Term III. As well as
fostering skills in – and affection for – reading, this activity raises
much-needed funds for Jesuit Mission. This year, the funds raised
will be directed to the new Jesuit school in East Timor, Saint Ignatius
of Loyola. The ten-minute film A New School for a New Country
(http://youtu.be/IRebUDvOIwk) outlines some of the progress
with the school. In a country where forty percent of families live on
less than $1,000 a year and where almost half the population has little
education, the opportunity for an education plays an important role
in the transformation of the country. Education gives hope for the
future. Our school community at St Aloysius’ shall endeavour to raise
money to support this school, and the teachers’ college, over the next
few years.
Our faith is often witnessed by the care we offer each other. During
the holidays, I received a note from a family saying: We would like to
express our thanks to the College for the monies raised by the Year 12 students
and staff to replace our son’s bike after it was recently stolen from our front porch.
We were completely overwhelmed, as a family, at the generosity displayed by the
students and teachers in responding to his misfortune. The true Aloysian spirit
was displayed by the fine young men, in particular Ben Fong, who took it upon
themselves to help their mate and ‘right a wrong’. We thank you both from the
bottom of our hearts for all that you do to instil these values into these young men.
This week, Mr Joe El-Khoury, Kamil Mrówka SJ and I shall
accompany a group of fifteen of our Year 10 and 11 students, who
will be representing the College at World Youth Day (WYD) in Brazil.
We go with hearts open to the wonders that God has in store for
each of us. Please pray for our young men as they embark on this
pilgrimage of faith. We shall be in Chile this week, where we will
spend time in Maipo parish, meeting the local people and contributing
a little to painting and cleaning some community buildings. On
21 July, we travel to Rio de Janeiro for WYD activities that will
include cultural activities, music festivals, catechesis, sharings and
Stations of the Cross, culminating with an all-night Vigil and Final
Mass with the Pope. It promises to be an extraordinary time. It is
quite humbling to realise we are inspired by the same belief and
companionship amidst such great diversity. Following the activities of
WYD Rio 2013, we have a Retreat at Iguazu Falls with other pilgrims
from the Sydney Catholic schools. In 2011, the Catholic Education
Office sent over 500 student and teacher pilgrims to Madrid, and this
year we join some 350 pilgrims from the Sydney Catholic schools.
World Youth Day is one of the largest international celebrations in the
world today. Pope John Paul II saw it as a way to reach out to the
next generation, to show confidence in them, to rejuvenate the
Church and to ensure that the important teachings of Jesus are
shared and lived. In 1985, the United Nations declared International
Youth Year and, to celebrate, in 1986 the Pope welcomed youth from
all over the world to Rome for the first WYD. This was followed by
Buenos Aires and about one million people attended. In 1989, it was
celebrated in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. In 1991, Poland hosted
WYD in Częstochowa and brought together over a million young
people. In 1993, WYD was in Denver, Colorado. The largest WYD
by attendance was in 1995, when nearly four million people gathered
in Manila. Paris was the host city of WYD in 1997. Young people
converged again in Rome in 2000. Toronto hosted WYD in 2002. In
2005, WYD pilgrims warmly welcomed Pope Benedict XVI in his
homeland of Germany and over one million pilgrims went to
Cologne. Many will remember the 2008 WYD in Sydney. In 2011,
about two million young people went to Madrid for WYD. It is
estimated that over two million young people will gather in Rio de
Janeiro on 28 July to celebrate Mass with the first Latin American
pope, Francis.
The theme for WYD in 2013 is Go and make disciples of all nations!
(Mt 28:19). In Matthew’s Gospel, after the death of Jesus, the
disciples were frightened and locked inside their fear. The encounter
with the Risen Jesus encouraged them to go forth with confidence.
Mary Magdalene, and Peter and John at the empty tomb find faith,
and proclaim that Jesus is alive and walks with us. The theme
encourages us to recognise the light of Christ, which dispels the
darkness of fear and doubt. It encourages us to be witnesses even in
situations of pain and conflict, and to go beyond borders that divide
and the barriers that cause rancour. The theme of WYD Rio 2013
invites young people from all over the world to witness to a living
and renewing faith, helping transform the world.
We, too, pray the Pilgrim prayer of Pope Benedict: Lord Jesus Christ,
pilgrim of Emmaus, you make yourself close to us for love, even if, at times,
discouragement and sadness prevent us from discovering your presence. You are the
flame that revives our faith. You are the light that purifies our hope. You are the
force that stirs our charity. Teach us to recognise you in the Word, in the house
and on the Table where the Bread of Life is shared, in generous service to our
suffering neighbour. And when evening falls, Lord, help us to say: ‘Stay with us’.
Peter Hosking SJ
THE PRINCIPAL
The final week of Term II concluded with the celebration of the feast
of St Aloysius Gonzaga. During that last week of term, the Richard
Walker-Powell Medal was presented to Alex Hatten (SAC 2006) in
recognition of his ongoing work with Life for Kids in Redfern, our
musical talent was on display in an extremely well-received Gala
concert, our Year 12 Drama students had their Showcase
performance and the Gonzaga Society (more elderly members of the
Old Boys and their spouses) had its biannual Mass and lunch.
Aloys’ Day, itself, is one of two occasions where the whole school is
together (the other being the Annual Distribution of Prizes). One
celebrates the religious identity of the school, while the other marks
the academic enterprise. The day began with the celebration of the
Eucharist in the Great Hall. Year 3 led the procession in, placing
candles at the foot of the World Youth Day cross. Our musicians
were magnificent in providing the music for the liturgy. Two boys,
Joseph Mayer from Year 6 and Tom Mendes from Year 11
provided an insightful reflection into St Aloysius through a two part
play. A number of Junior School boys enacted the gospel through
liquid movement while it was read. Our three Gap students were
farewelled as was Kamil Mrówka SJ who leaves us early this week, via
World Youth Day, to return to his studies for priesthood in Poland.
Our newest old boy, Edoardo Fumagalli (Year 9), was
acknowledged prior to him returning to Rome. It was truly an
occasion to lift our hearts in prayer and song, affirming something of
the heart and soul of our school.
Much of the rest of Aloys’ Day was spent in celebration. The agenda
was simply to have fun, and this is no bad thing. Various bands and
musicians entertained us in the Great Hall. There was the Gonzagarama
film festival of student productions. The staff and students played a
game of Basketball. Money was raised for the Philippines immersion,
an orphanage in Uganda and for the Jesuit school in East Timor.
Bennies promoted a petition for human rights. And there was a wide
range of rides. For our Year Twelves it was their last Aloys’ Day, and
one further step on the home straight for them.
In staffing news, Mr Phil Turnock, our Head of English, is away this
term on paternity/long service leave. Ms Carla Maxted takes over the
running of the Department. Three new Gap Students have
commenced at the College: Harrison Walsh and Steven Kaaber-Gore
from Stonyhurst College in the UK and Daniel O’Sullivan from
Clongowes Wood College in Ireland. Steve will work in the Music
Department and Daniel with Year 7, while Harrison will work in the
Junior School.
A new version of the School Diary has been rolled out this term on
the iPads. It is the creation of two of our Year Eleven students,
Giorgio Doueihi and Declan Scott, who have created a more userfriendly and personalised electronic diary. It was the boys’ initiative,
and illustrates another dimension to news skills being unlocked by
the technologies available to the boys.
At the start of holidays, some sixty cadets spent five days on the
Cadet Promotions’ Course at Singleton. The College congratulates all
those who gained promotions. We also congratulate the new student
leadership of the Unit for the coming year:
Senior Under Officer (SUO)

selected. One of our tasks as a College is to provide as much as
possible a range of experiences of leadership for students.
Congratulations also to the younger cadets who achieved promotions
within the Unit.
As usual, there were numerous other activities during the holidays.
Mr Sam Di Sano and Mr Greg Duggan took fourteen Year 11s on a
Philippines immersion experience. William Calov and Sean
Thomson also participated in the third Jesuit and partner schools’
immersion to East Timor. Such immersion experiences have become
very much a feature of the Jesuit schools in Australia.
Thirty Year 11 students undertook the four-day Kairos retreat at
Tallong. Jonathan Boyle from Year 12 was the Rector, and was ably
assisted by student leaders Josh Caccamo, Ben Kyriazis, John
Lewis, Matt Tarlinton and Henry Wright, all from Year 11. Young
Old Boy, Nicholas Aboud, provided a valued Old Boy presence.
Mr Paul Batten and Mr Nico Lariosa SJ also assisted Mr Ticinovic
and myself in running the retreat. Again, the boys have a significant
experience of community in the context of exploration of self, their
relationships and their spirituality. Providing significant retreat and
immersion experiences have become key elements in nourishing the
spiritual life of the school.
Our Firsts Debating team of Sergio Badilescu-Buga (Year 12),
Ethan Sommers (Year 12) and Damien Vickovich (Year 11)
competed at the Jesuit Schools Carnival at Riverview. Sergio was
named in the Australian Jesuit Schools’ Debating team.
Thirty-six students from Years 5 to 10 and four staff attended a
Snowsports camp, with a number staying on to compete in the
Interschools’ competition. My thanks to Mr Michael Rogan,
Mrs Marianne Rogan, Mr Chris Oxley and Mr Michael Taylor. Bill
Biviano (Year 8) qualified for the NSW finals.
Last Saturday, our A teams in both Rugby and Football played trial
games against Oakhill College. The First XI won 3-1 with Mason
Yates (Year 12) scoring two goals, and Adrian Peronace (Year 11)
scoring a goal. The Year 8s and 9s also scored impressive wins (Ben
Wong, Year 9, scoring five goals!) with the 7As drawing. In Rugby,
the 16As scored a good win, but Oakhill had the better of the other
results.
The College also congratulates a number of boys who attained
representative honours during the break.
2 Fabijan Krslovic (Year 12) played in the Australian U19 team in the
World Championships, though his participation was cut short by an
injury in the first game. The team came fourth.
James Reid (Year 11) represented NSW in the National
Championships in Water Polo in Perth. The team came second.
In Fencing, Lachlan Fitzgerald (Year 12) placed second in the State
U23 Epée championships. At the 2013 Australian National Fencing
Circuit Cadets (U17) and U15s Tournament, Kelvin Peh (Year 9)
was selected in the NSW team in Epée. In Foil, Emmanuel Lapitan
(Year 10) was selected in the U15 NSW “A” team. Young Joseph
Mayer (Year 6) was selected in the U15 NSW “B” team.
A reminder, too, of the upcoming Rugby lunch on 26 July. In
addition to supporting the Foundation and the Rugby programme at
the school, it will provide an opportunity to hear Bill Pulver (CEO of
the Australian Rugby Union), Michael Hawker AM (Chair of the
Australian Rugby Union) and our own Keith Gleeson (SAC 1993)
discuss future direction for Rugby.
Finally we wish Fr Peter, Mr Joe El-Khoury, Kamil Mrówka SJ and
our fifteen pilgrims from Years 10 and 11 (Lachlan Brimson, Liam
Crisanti, Harrison Duncan, Austen Hunt, John Lewis, Tommy
Lewis, Joshua Maas, Liam MacWhite, James O’Sullivan Avery,
Nick Paton, Conor Roberts, Connor Scicluna, Liam Shiel-Dick,
Konrad Stilin and Daniel Wade) all the best, as they venture to Rio
for the celebration of World Youth Day. Students from Aloysius’
have participated in World Youth Day since Toronto in 2002,
followed by Cologne in 2005, here in Sydney in 2008 and Madrid in
2011. A number of young Old Boys are also attending, either with
the Jesuit Magis programme for young adults or with local church
groups.
THE HEAD OF JUNIOR SCHOOL
Welcome back all to the start of Term III. I hope that the three
weeks’ break was a pleasant reprieve from the challenges of regular
school routine, especially once you managed to survive the wet and
cold weather during the first week. It is hoped that this new term,
while promising lots of action as always, will be more even paced,
thanks to the relatively longer duration of ten weeks. Some of the
highlights include annual examinations in Week 9, a number of ICAS
competitions (which are listed in the diary), the feast of St Ignatius of
Loyola on 31 July, Grandparents’ Day on 15 August, IPSHA
Performing Arts Festival on 7 August – amongst others.
Grandparents’ Day is a much-looked-forward-to event on the Junior
School calendar and so is the Fr Schneider Cup. Please note that
there is a change of date for the Fr Schneider Cup this term. The new
date is 13 August, which is just over a week earlier than that listed in
the diary. We will remind you of the important dates as we get closer
to these events.

Newest members of the Junior School Community:
Julian Boyle, Harrison Walsh (Gap Scholar) & Benjamin Chery
I would like to extend a very warm Aloysian welcome to two new
students to the Junior School this term. Benjamin Chery (Year 4.1)
and Julian Boyle (Year 4.2), and their families, have recently
returned from Paris and Singapore, respectively, having spent several
years there and other places, due mainly to work commitments.
Please make them feel welcomed into our extended family. On the
staffing front, we welcome Harrison Walsh from Stonyhurst England
as our new resident Gap exchange scholar. Three practicum student
teachers from Notre Dame University will be with us for this Term.
Jessica Kerr (Year 5.4), Kirstie Greig (Year 5.3) and Scarlett
Kasperski (Year 6.3) will mainly work with classes as designated, but
will also teach and learn from and with all teachers in the Junior
School.
A small number of staff attended miscellaneous professional
development courses over the break, and I was fortunate enough to
be invited and able to attend two thoroughly informative and
enjoyable conferences. The first one of these was the ICP
(International Confederation of Principals) held in Cairns and the
second one was the annual Jesuit Province Gathering held at
Riverview. The first one primarily focussed on the quality of teaching
and learning in world’s leading nations and/or cities such as Finland,
Shanghai, Japan, and Hong Kong, relative to the education systems in
the English-speaking world – in particular, Australia. Professor Yong
Zhao, author of World Class Learners – Educating Creative and
Entrepreneurial Students and Presidential Chair for Global Education
with the College of Education at the University of Oregon, was
inspirational in his presentation on how we can and should challenge
our students to be creative and entrepreneurial by developing their
ability to solve problems, and not just to wait for and carry out
instructions. The goal of education he said is for every child to be
“better than they are now” and that education should be a personal
3 experience where each one is developed and measured against
his/her given gifts, and not just certain sometimes arbitrarily agreedto common standards. Amongst other presenters, it was a joy to
listen to Tim Costello (brother of the other famous Peter Costello)
and retired head of our Defence Forces, General Peter Cosgrove.
The Province Gathering was a time to meet colleagues from various
Jesuit ministries around Australia and reflect on a couple of
important challenges facing the Catholic Church in general – and
especially for those like ourselves working in the education ministry –
on how we must take most seriously our responsibility of protecting
and safeguarding our children from abuse and the forces of evil. We
were able to share the thoughts and insights of leading professionals
in the area of child protection, and reflect on our obligation to
unreservedly be sorry for all transgressions of the past and walk
compassionately with those hurt and still hurting – as Jesus would
want us to.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone about the upcoming Rugby
fundraising luncheon to be held at Sofitel Hotel in the City on
26 July. This event, like the very successful Football luncheon held
late last term, goes a long way in resourcing the College’s sporting
programme especially in Rugby and Football. While the British &
Irish Lions may have had the last laugh in 2013, you never know. We
could be helping produce a world-beating Wallaby or two for the
2025 series out of our Junior boys, just by coming along and having
some fun with your fellow parents over lunch. Please go to
www.trybooking.com/CNVP to secure your place.
Our congratulations this week go to the following boys, who are
celebrating their birthdays:
15 July Andre de Mestre
16 July Braith Alexander, Joaquin Cipriano
17 July Connor Eaton
19 July Tom Mateffy
20 July Finn Harrison

CURRICULUM NEWS
THE GEOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT
Impressive Results: Students at the College posted impressive
results in the 2013 Australian Geography Competition. It is
wonderful to see our students performing so well. We want our
students to learn about the world, and the connections between
places and people, so that both now and in the future they are
inspired to care and to make a difference in the world in which they
live. The Competition is open to students studying Geography in all
years of secondary school. The Competition is a joint initiative of the
Royal Geographical Society of Queensland and the Australian
Geography Teachers’ Association.
The Geography Department would like to congratulate the boys,
who achieved an impressive 93 High Distinctions and 51
Distinctions. Each year more than 75,000 secondary school students
from around Australia test their geographical knowledge and skills in
the competition. Students are also required to demonstrate their
knowledge of global and local geographical issues.
Three Year groups – Years 7, 9 and 10 – sat the test. One third of the
candidates, some 144 boys, achieved either a High Distinction or a
Distinction. The boys competed by three age categories – Junior,

PASTORAL NEWS
THE DIRECTOR OF PASTORAL SERVICES
The holidays are always a time to relax, recharge the batteries, reflect
on what has passed and look forward to the future. One of our
parents shared an interesting analogy with me at the end of last term,
based on the concept of positive psychology, and I thought I would
share it with you. The concept was also reinforced in the holidays
when I attended a leadership course on how to analyse your strengths
and weaknesses.
4 The analogy is provided by Dr Robert
Biswas-Diener, the Indiana Jones of Positive
Psychology. He likens weaknesses to the hull
of a boat. It doesn’t matter how great the
boat, the hull will always leak. The amount
of attention you should pay to your
weaknesses depends on how much water
they let in. Sometimes the leak is only
minor, and you just end up sloshing
around in a bit of water in the bottom of the boat. These weaknesses
can be ignored – there is really no harm to come from them.
Sometimes the weakness creates a bigger leak, and some attention
must be paid to prevent the water from rising – maybe a bilge pump
or bucket is needed to drain the water out. Other times, the weakness
is so great that it threatens to sink the boat, and at these times the
boat must be taken from the water, put into dry dock and completely
repaired. You need to deal effectively with your weaknesses to make
sure they don’t sink you.
But focus alone on the weaknesses won’t move you anywhere. You
need sails to propel you forward, and these are your strengths. Your
strengths are where you should invest your time as these are the
things that will help you explore new lands and have great
adventures. Trying to make minor improvements in things that really
don’t matter is a poor use of limited time and energy. Developing
strengths, which energise yourself and others, and which will make
you feel happy, fulfilled and productive is a very wise investment
indeed.
Dr Robert Biswas-Diener’s motto is: Build on what’s strong versus fix
what’s wrong. Apparently, Dr Sandy Gordon (Australian researcher)
used this concept on the WA & Sri Lankan cricket teams.
I managed to finish reading the autobiography of Andre Agassi in the
holidays, titled Open, as I have a great personal love for tennis. In many
ways, I feel that Andre Agassi was an example of someone who would
have greatly benefitted at an earlier age to focus on his strengths and
not dwell on his weaknesses. It is wise advice for all of us.
Will Calov and Sean Thomson in the group that went to Timor Leste
Philippines and Timor Leste Immersions: I have included here a
couple of photos of the boys who attended the two immersions in
the holidays. Once again, I thank all those that contributed to the
success of these Immersions, especially the teachers who travelled
with them.

Kempsey Immersion: At Tuesday’s Year Assembly, Year 9 students
were given information outlining the application process for the
Kempsey Immersion, taking place later this term. Students and
parents should have received the relevant information in an email.
Don’t forget the application deadline is 22 July.

THE COLLEGE COMMUNITY
THE ALOYSIAN 2012
Every student who attended the College in 2012 should have received a
copy of this annual from their Year Co-ordinator in the Senior School.
They were distributed in the Junior School on St Aloysius’ Day.

STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL
The last Friday of Term II saw the College celebrate the feast day of
our patron, St Aloysius. Both the Junior and Senior Schools
celebrated the day, with a whole school Mass in the morning,
followed by rides, food, the annual Aloys’ Got Talent competition and
Gonzagarama movie competition, as well as Year group events
throughout the day. The day provided the boys with a fun way to
finish the term, enjoying the blow-up jumping castles in the
Quadrangle, the bucking bull in the Year 12 Common Room and
cupcake sales in the Canisius Room.
Amongst all the fun of the day, it was this year decided by the SRC to
not supply the students with a donut for the day. This money was
saved, and is now being donated to the Manjeri School Project in
Uganda, co-run by Old Boy of the College, Oliver Doraisamy. This
amount of over $1,600 will be added onto contributions already
made this year by the SRC, on educational and farming supplies for
the school to help the many disadvantaged children in the area.
Additionally, for the first year in almost eight years, the dunking
machine was brought back to Aloys’ Day. Father Middleton, Mr Di
Sano, Kamil, Mr Portelli and some Year 12 boys all volunteered time
to sit on the machine, suffering the wet and freezing temperatures to
help raise money for the College’s East Timor partners, with over
$2,000 being contributed to building houses in East Timor.
In all, almost $7,100 was raised for charity on the day, a huge amount
that will no doubt go far in each respective case.
Thank you to all students and teachers who made the day possible,
for the generous heart of the monetary donations made, as well and
time and effort put in by many students and teachers. Also, particular
thanks must be made to all SRC reps, especially our newly voted
Year 7 reps – Oliver Boyle, Thomas Verschuer, Louis Esteban and
Harry Hertz. Also, a huge thank you to Mrs Loomes for her
consistent contributions to Aloys’ Day over the years.

THE PARENTS’ & FRIENDS’ ASSOCIATION
Term III is upon us and it is full steam ahead. Welcome back for
what will be a term of beginnings and endings. Year 12 boys head
towards their final endeavours and the Year 11 boys will be
approaching their final year at school.
We have a parent volunteer for the Jesuit Mission role that was
recently advertised in The Gonzagan, Ruth Tate-Young. Ruth has sons
in Years 8 & 10. The P&F, on behalf of the school, would like to
thank you Ruth for taking on this important role in assisting with the
Indian Bazaar. Ruth needs a few helpers for the day and in the lead
up to 14 September. One role in particular is to help manage the
silent auctions. If you are able to assist Ruth, please contact her
directly by email (tateyoung@ozemail.com.au).
To conclude the efforts of our boys’ sporting teams, several end-ofseason dinners are proposed, so look out for the details and support
your son’s sport finale for the winter season.
Each year, the North Sydney Parish of St Mary’s hosts a Women’s
Night of Spirituality. This year’s event will be 11 September.
Always an amazing night, this year’s speakers include Kath Evans
(recipient of St Mary MacKillop’s second miracle), Sophie Kearns
(linguist & Director of Pastoral Care at SCEGGS Darlinghurst) and
Lyn White (Campaign Director for Animals Australia, animal
advocate & animal cruelty investigator). The evening is hosted by the
parish of St Mary’s and Caroline Jones, who is a well-known member
of the media and community in Australia. Entry is by donation and
funds go to the respective charities the three speakers’ support. If you
can get to nothing else this year, make this the occasion that you do
go to.
The Year 7 Parent Night is coming up on 27 July. There is a copy
of the invitation, with all the details, later in this issue. A special
welcome to all the new Year 7 parents is being extended. Please do
not be shy to come along and meet other parents in your son’s year.
The Year co-ordinators, Jo Marchione and Claudia Whyte, would be
happy to answer any questions.
REMINDERS
The next St Aloysius’ P&F discussion and meeting will be held
on 4 of September and all parents, as usual, are most welcome.
A reminder that we have copies for sale of the Entertainment Book
– a very popular discount voucher book for a whole range of
entertainment options across
Sydney. The P&F receives a
donation on the sale of each
book, so if you would like to do
buy one please see the note later
in this issue. They have a special
free home delivery option until

The Year 6 Parent Night is tomorrow night (20 July).
Finally, our prayers and thoughts are with all the boys (and their
families) and staff who departed this Wednesday for the World
Youth Day events. We wish them all the best on this journey of a life
time, and look forward to reading of their experiences on their

Council of Catholic School Parents (CCSP) Conference: The
attendance at the Conference, held on 25&26 May, was outstanding –
each day, 200 parents and educators from dioceses across NSW, as
well as the Qld Catholic Parents’ Association. Both Federal and State
MPs for Parramatta attended the opening. The theme was iConnect.
Delegates were given iPads to use and were encouraged to Twitter
and post items to the conference webpage wall. That alone, was very
educational and a big learning curve for many there.
The calibre of speakers and topics was high. Andrew Fuller, child
psychologist, spoke about how we as parents and educators help kids
not just develop resilience, but be optimistic about their future, so
that they can capitalise on their full potential. Andrew was full of
practical and useful strategies. Father Richard Leonard, speaker on
“Getting Real – being on mission with Christ”, lived up to
expectations with a powerful and inspiring message to parents about
the Good News story of being a Catholic.

CO-CURRICULAR NEWS
THE DIRECTOR OF CO-CURRICULA
The 2013 Rugby Lunch is only one week away. It is not too late
to purchase tickets for what should be another fantastic lunch.
Speakers include Bill Pulver (CEO Australian Rugby), Michael
Hawker (former Wallaby test centre & current ARU Chairman),
and ex-student and former Irish Rugby International, Keith
Gleeson. Profits raised from the lunch will go towards rugby at
the school as well to the College Foundation, who is organising
both events. Booking details are available online. Please refer to
fliers later in this issue for more information.
Last Saturday, our 1sts rugby and 1sts football teams, along with A
teams in both codes, played Oakhill College, in friendly trial games in
preparation for CAS competition recommencing this week. In
football, the 1sts won handsomely 3-1 but could have easily added to
that score. The 10As went down 0-2.The 9As’ 6-0 win included Ben
Wong contributing five goals!! The 8As won 3-2, whilst the 7As had
to settle for a 0-0 draw.
Rugby teams overall were not as successful as the football teams. The
1sts were beaten four tries to one, but the team was minus many key
players. The team started strongly and dominated early possession
and territory, but failed to convert that to points. The 16As played
impressively as a team, to win 33- 12. Oakhill was too strong in other
age groups.
The Australian Jesuit Debating Carnival was held during the recent
holidays and was hosted by Saint Ignatius’ College, Riverview. The
competition was keen amongst all eight Jesuit schools competing. Our
team finished officially fourth, being beaten by Xavier College,
Melbourne in the playoff for third placing. Little separated the top four
teams in competition. Congratulations to host school Riverview in
winning the final against Saint Ignatius’ College, Adelaide. Year 12
student Sergio Badilescu-Buga was selected in the Australian Schools’
Debating Team, announced at the end of the carnival. Whilst on
debating, the CAS season begins this Friday with debates at home
against Trinity Grammar. Good luck to all coaches and teams involved.
In fencing news, three of our school fencers represented NSW at the
Australian Fencing Circuit Cadets during the holidays. Kelvin Peh
(Year 9) competed in the U15 and U17 Epée teams, and individually.
Emmanuel Lapitan (Year 10) also competed in the U15 Foils team
and individually, and was later selected to join the U17 NSW B team
following excellent performances at the tournament. Despite being
only in Year 6, Joseph Mayer participated in the U15 Foil
competitions and did well enough to join the U15 NSW B Team.
Well done to all boys. Also, Lachlan Fitzgerald came second in the
NSW U23 Epée Championships during the break. Congratulations,
Lachlan.
Athletics pre-season training commenced late last term. Trainings are
on currently on Tuesdays at Rotary Athletics Field and at school on
Thursdays. The official season is fast approaching – only four weeks
away. Any potential athlete hoping to do well this season is strongly
encouraged to attend at least one of the sessions.
This Saturday, our sporting teams play Barker College with 1sts’
teams playing away at Barker. Good luck to all coaches and players.
Cross country is at Centennial Park at 10.00am. Taekwondo is not on
this Saturday, but resumes next week.
Paul Rowland
THE SPORTSMASTER
Welcome back to Term III and the remainder of the winter season.
Over the past months, several issues have come to the fore in sport –
both in the wider community and within our association and school.
Issues of performance-enhancing drugs, racial vilification and
spectator behaviour have certainly been prevalent in the media.
Performance enhancing drugs in elite sport again reached the
international press this week, with news that top level sprinters had
been found to have produced positive doping tests. This is the last in
a long litany of stories this year, including Lance Armstrong’s fall
from grace. At present, the College is working towards producing a
policy on how the issue of performance-enhancing drugs will be dealt
with within our school. The final policy produced will be one of
information and guidance in which future perspectives on education,
testing and sanctioning will certainly be explored.
Due to questions over both the efficacy and safety of long-term use,
the College strongly advises against ‘legal’ nutritional ergogenic aids –
such as creatine, caffeine tablets, individual proteins, amino acids and
Fat Burners. While these products are not illegal, and individuals are
free to make their own choice regarding their use, a balanced diet in
conjunction with proper exercise prescription should be adequate for
boys to meet their performance needs.
During National Indigenous Reconciliation Week, the issue of racial
vilification in sport received attention, with Sydney Swans player
Adam Goodes being taunted by a spectator. Mr Goodes immediately
identified the individual, which allowed security staff to act
immediately in apprehending a thirteen-year-old girl. Last term, I
received several reports from families or coaches of our boys who
had reported similar abuse to them. In each of these cases, I
contacted the relevant school who followed up the allegations
internally. Being targeted in this manner is totally unacceptable and I
commend these boys for speaking up and reporting the abuse. While
it is certainly hurtful to be targeted in this way, by reporting it you fail
to become a victim of it.
In the future, if any boy feels they have been the target of racial
vilification I would ask them to report it to their team captain, the
match official and their coach or manager immediately. The sooner a
positive identification of the perpetrator can be made, the better. This
will allow staff from both schools to begin the process of dealing
with the individual, leading to a more accurate and definite outcome.
I would also hope that students from St Aloysius’ would not racially
abuse another person. However, this is an area where we do need to
show special care. If you become aware of any of our students who,
through malice or insensitivity, display behaviour or use language
which is racially offensive, I would ask you to bring it to my attention
immediately.
Thirdly, spectator conduct at our sporting fixtures is important. You
are ambassadors of our school and all the good values that we want it
to represent. When you attend your son’s sport on the weekend, you
should be there to support your son and his team, as well as the
opposition with whom they compete. Barracking should always be
positive and should not be restricted to our teams. The practice of
“giving advice” to referees or match officials is unwarranted and
seldom helpful. The “ugly parent” is not a good look and it gives our
students certain permission to exhibit behaviour that I do not believe
should be part of their formation. Please remember that our acts
define us as a school and a community. All CAS schools have the
responsibility to provide a safe environment for players, spectators
and officials at all grounds. Abuse of match officials and negative
behaviour is outside our Association’s code of conduct. Such action
is expected to be acted on by the officials themselves, as well as
ground marshals. They have been advised to identify and, if
necessary, stop play and remove individuals if they do not desist
when requested. I am sure that the majority of our community
7 members share my sentiments on this, and I look forward to
everyone providing an environment for our students and their
competitors to enjoy their sporting experiences. If you have an issue
with the officiating at any game, please feel free to email the Masterin-Charge of your sport, who will forward your concerns to me.
Lastly, all the very best of luck to all teams for the final four games of
the season.

THE JUNIOR SCHOOL SPORTSMASTER
Athletics Training: In preparation for the Athletics season that
commences after the Winter Sport season, the following program will
take place from Week 1 onwards. The target group will be those boys
who placed 1st in their races at the recent Athletics carnival. The core
focus of the program will be the development of speed, agility and
quickness. Components covered will include:
ƒ stability, strength and power
ƒ muscle and joint elasticity
ƒ joint mobility and flexibility
ƒ movement technique
Sessions will involve general warm-up, specialised drills (strength and
movement technique) for linear speed development, and work
(running) sets. Work sets will involve shorter efforts (based on ability to
maintain correct movement technique) with multiple repetitions per
set. In addition to improvements in running efficiency (covering speed,
agility and quickness), the participants will also make improvements in
general fitness through ‘adaptation’ based on session duration/load.
The meeting point for all sessions will be the under-croft area at the
Junior School before we proceed to the bowling green, Bradfield Park
or Dalton Hall, based on what is possible.
Initially, we will offer two sessions per week on Monday and
Thursday mornings from 7.15-8.15am. Boys are asked to wear their
sports uniform to these sessions before changing into their school
uniform after returning to school. The program will end on
29 August.

Holiday Football Clinic: This year’s Junior School Camp was a
great success. The sun was shining and the Collage Oval had a
coverage of lush green grass. The Camp went for three days starting a
day late due to wet weather. The camp was a success on many levels,
with the boys learning a lot of technique and understanding of
individual roles and their functions within the team.
The boys worked very hard but had a lot of fun while doing so. We
had a good, strong coaching team, with Ray, Marcus and Max working
with the younger boys (9s/10s), and Andres and Nacho working with
the (11s/12s.) This year things ran extra smoothly, with the addition of
Petra, who looked after roll call, lunches and parental contact – among
a variety of other roles – leaving me free to work more closely with the
coaches. After two solid days of working hard on technique, it was
pleasing for the coaches and me to observe the techniques we worked
at being put to use in the games of the final day.
I would like to congratulate the boys on their behaviour and
enthusiasm throughout the camp, as it certainly contributed to the
success of this year’s camp, and extend my thanks to all involved for
their contribution in making it so successful.

CHESS
On the last Friday of Term II, on the feast of St Aloysius, the
St Aloysius’ College Chess team competed in the sixth round of the
Secondary Schools’ Chess Competition. After a great performance in
the draw to competitors Manly C last week, the Senior team was
handed all four points with the opposition, Saint Ignatius’ Riverview,
forfeiting their boards. This capped off an exceptional year for the
Senior Chess team, placing second in an extremely competitive
group. Well done to all members of this team.
Due to Cadets and family holidays, the Intermediates were forced to
forfeit two boards. However, despite this, Luke Gelagin and Brendan
McRae fought valiantly against a tough North Sydney Boys’ E team,
only to be defeated at the final hurdle. This was an unfortunate end
to a strong overall performance in this competition, where they
placed third, behind the North Sydney Boys’ teams. Congratulations
on an impressive year.
In the Juniors, the team won two matches to a Chatswood A side
featuring a star player. Congratulations to Dean Thill on his
marvellous win. After filling in at short notice, this was a game worth
watching. Well done also to Brendan Kell on his win. 2013 was a
rebuilding year for the Junior team, with the entire team consisting of
Year 7s. It has been the best year for participation amongst this year
group in recent memory. The team finished fourth, and are looking
to do even better next year, when all players are back playing in the
same division, with much more experience under their belt. Overall,
well done to all those who represented the school in Chess this year.
You have done the school proud. In 2014, with all players in all
divisions again available for selection, these results can only improve.

PUBLIC SPEAKING
vir eloquens
Coaching sessions will be held on Wednesdays, from 3.305.00pm, commencing in Week 3. All interested students, old and
new, are invited to attend. Attendance at one of these sessions is
required for competition preparation. All information relating to this
co-curricular activity will be relayed through this publication, Year
meetings, Line-ups and the electronic noticeboards throughout the
College.
8 1. The Legacy Junior Public Speaking Competition: This will
be held on 26 July at Normanhurst Boys’ High School. We wish
Thomas Verschuer and Tristan every success. Details at
www.artsunit.nsw.edu.au.
2. The Art of Speech Competition – The Richard Hockey
Trophy: Please see notice below for details.
As other competitions become known, their details will be
disseminated. All interested in participating at a competitive level are
expected to attend coaching sessions conducted by Old Boys with
experience and success at public speaking.
The Art of Speech Competition: This competition was inaugurated
in 1947. Past winners include Mark Simkin (ABC reporter), Adam
Spencer (The Breakfast Show) and Julian Morrow (The Chaser). All
students in Years VII-X compete and the better speakers from each
Year will speak at the Grand Finals. It is optional for students in
Years XI & XII; however, the better speakers are strongly
encouraged to enter. The formation of articulate and talented young
men has always been central to Jesuit education, and its importance
has been reinforced within the context of the Ignatian Pedagogical
Paradigm. Alongside this formation, however, is the religious
formation that gives what is said a moral and social purpose. In 1982
we were fortunate in having a generous parent donate a trophy for
this competition. The Richard Hockey Trophy for Public
Speaking is awarded to the best speaker overall.
Please inform all your students, including those in Years XI and XII
for whom it is voluntary, but from whose members we need three
speakers to represent each Year group at the Finals night. The topics
for 2013 are as follows:
Paying the Price
A Good Book
Our Biggest Failure
The End of the Beginning
The Kindness of Strangers
Good Neighbours
The Usual Suspects
The Games People Play
Blood will have Blood
Flights of Fancy
Good Government
There is Providence even in the Fall of a Sparrow
Stage I: In the last week of Gonzaga Term (II) all classes are
expected to have some classes in speech making. Please see
accompanying information. Also, a podcast recording of a Grand
Final is available on the Intranet (Students-Faculties-English-Art of
Speech). An audio-visual recording of a Grand Final was also placed
on Clickview.
Stage II: Before the end of Gonzaga Term (II) all students should be
given the topics.
Stage III: During the forthcoming break, students are expected to
write their speeches.
