Building work commences in Junior School and soon to commence in C block
Primary parents have probably noticed that work has commenced on the extension to P5 which will result in two
new classrooms and a refurbished primary staff common room. The additional classrooms are required to meet the
teaching and learning spaces required for a three stream K-6 Junior School which will be fully achieved in 2014.
During the September school holidays, demolition and removal of C block will occur to enable a two story nine
classroom block to be constructed in its place. This block will have four new science classrooms on the ground level
and five general learning spaces on the upper floor and will be home to the English faculty. This move will allow the
Languages faculty to relocate to A block giving the classrooms in the Cameron Centre to the PDHPE faculty.
Both projects will cost approximately $4.5M. The school’s capacity to achieve capital projects and to ensure we
provide excellent facilities for our students is possible for two reasons: very sound and prudent financial
management and parent’s contribution over many years to the Voluntary Building Fund. 10% of the cost for these
projects has been provided by funds held in the Building Fund.
This is an opportune time to remind families to contribute to the Building Fund. This can be achieved when paying
school fees by making an additional payment which is allocated to the Fund. Contributions to the Building Fund are
fully Tax deductible and ensure we can maintain a progressive capital development plan. Parent contributions over
the years have assisted the school achieve a wonderful campus, very impressive for a school with a young 24 year
history.
HSC Drama Accolade
Congratulations to Mrs White and the nine students from three different performance groups in the HSC Drama
class who have achieved nomination for the Board of Studies and the Department of Education OnSTAGE exhibition
of outstanding HSC Drama, held in February at the Seymour Centre, Sydney. This is a significant acknowledgement
of the amazing talent within this Year 12 Drama cohort, the peer support that reinforces much of their dramatic
endeavor and the most valuable guidance from Mrs White in particular, as well as Mr Fisher, parents and peers.
Well done!
Last Sunday, with the much appreciated support of parents, our Language/Literature TOM team assembled at the
University of NSW to represent the Hunter Region at the State Finals, competing against ten other teams from
around Australia.
The team were taken to a room with a supervisor and given 3 hours to devise a 10 minute play in response to a
specific challenge. This year, the challenge was called ‘On A Matter…Whatta?’ In general, the challenge required
each team to devise a situation where some characters (of their own making) had a problem and needed to solve
it. Specifically, the dialogue needed to creatively and meaningfully include examples of onomatopoeia (sound words
like crash, whoosh, thud etc…).
Our team was the 11th performance in a long afternoon but their hilarious scene ensured the tired audience well
and truly woke up! The scene appropriated the film noir situation of an interrogation to solve the problem of how
and why a character’s finger was chopped off when someone slammed a door on it. There were many funny lines
(eg: “So tell me, did you take a walk down Murder Lane?” and the final line – “Don’t worry, it’ll grow back”!) and
some interesting references to a Drama teacher called Mrs White and a Principal with a military background where
apparently “we did a lot of Drama”.
While the humour of the scene was excellent and the audience loved it, we needed to address some of the challenge
criteria more effectively to obtain the kind of score that would topple a couple of the other strong performances,
unfortunately, we came home empty handed this year. Each student can still be happy that they produced a strong
effort, especially the Year 10 girls who were competing for the last time because Secondary TOM is limited to
involvement from Years 7-10. Meanwhile, our Year 7 girls gained valuable experience that they can take into the
competition in 2014.

TOM State Finalists: Hannah Berry, Sarah Broadfield, Logan Fisher, Laura Higgins, Katie Jolliffe, Emma Killalea and
Munesu Kuvesa. Our special thanks to Mr Fisher who co-ordinates the secondary school component of TOM, he
does an excellent job (written by Mr Fisher & Mr Jolliffe)
NSW State Enduro Motorcycle Champion
Congratulations to Jeremy Gould (Yr 9) who was acclaimed NSW Champion after 8 gruelling
rounds during 2013. Well done Jeremy on your second State Championship.
I take this opportunity to wish all of our School families an enjoyable spring holiday break.
If the sensational weather continues we will certainly be able to enjoy our Hunter climate
and the wonderful country we have.

me. This assists the School with planning for courses and particularly setting the Budget.
Parents are reminded that a FULL TERM’S NOTICE, in writing to the Principal is required to be given by the
parents before a student leaves the School and if a parent is intending to withdraw a child on the last day of a
particular Term, then notice would have to be given at the start of the Term. In default of such notice, the
Enrolment Bond will be forfeited.
The Enrolment Bond is refundable given these Conditions are met and upon written application within 6 months

PRESCHOOL
Happy Holidays Mrs Rowney
Mrs Sheree Rowney will be on long service leave for all of Term 4, 2013. Mrs Rowney will be replaced by Mrs Carla
Whiting, who is Mrs Rowney’s job share partner. Mrs Whiting already works in room 2 on a Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday. This will mean that Mrs Whiting will be working fulltime (5 days per week) in room 2 for all of term 4.
We would like to wish Mrs Rowney a very relaxing and enjoyable break and we look forward to having her back in
2014.
Summer Routine
From the beginning of Term 4 we will change to our summer routine. This change in routine means that children
will begin the day in the outdoor environment. We would like to ask all families to ensure that applying sunscreen
once again becomes part of your morning drop off. After signing in please help your child with their first application
of sunscreen for the day. We will be talking to children a lot about sun safety as the UV index increases in the
warmer months. Please ensure each day you also pack appropriate sun safe clothing and a broad rim hat.
Water play
As the months get warmer the children will begin to engage in many more water play experiences. Please ensure
that you pack appropriate changes of clothes in your children’s bags and collect and wet/dirty clothes at the end of
each day.
Nutritious Food
Please ensure that you are following our policy for healthy and nutritious lunches, morning teas and afternoon teas.
Any food that does not meet standards set out by Munch and Move and NSW Health initiative will be returned
home in your child’s bag. They will not be permitted to eat these items at preschool.
If you would like further information on appropriate items to pack please see preschool educators. It is a
requirement of the National Quality Framework and National regulations that we enforce such a strict nutrition
policy.
Preschool Spring Holidays
We would like to wish all of our preschool families a safe and happy spring break. The last
day of preschool for Term 3 will be Friday 20 September. We will return on Tuesday 8
October 2013 as Monday 7 October is a Public Holiday.

JUNIOR SCHOOL
Great Work Junior School!
Our Junior School on Show Bonanza was outstanding. A huge thanks to all staff and students for your dedication
and enthusiasm. We are already looking to our next event in 2 years’ time. Thank you to parents who supported
the event on the night and ensured that the event was a night to remember.
End of Term Thanks
This term has seen the P&F, the Junior School teaching and student body and other interested parental groups join
together on many occasions to provide activities that enhance our student’s school life. Thanks are extended to
the P&F for the fabulous Father’s Day stall which they arranged and manned throughout the day, allowing students
to purchase a special gift. Many of the events arranged by the P&F throughout this year have provided the Junior
School with items which complement our teaching and learning, playground and social programs.
Stage Three Head to Canberra and Bathurst
Next week Year 6 will head off to Canberra to experience government and the sights of our capital, while Year 5
travelled to Bathurst this week to experience the Gold Rush Days. Student’s look forward to these wonderful
experiences when through ‘hands on’ experiences they get a feel for life in the real world.
Don’t Overload your Back Sack!
All parents are reminded of the weight that can easily sneak into back sacks. As students become older they carry
more and more books home each day, some not specified by teachers. Please ensure that you check the weight of
your child’s sack and check the contents if it seems overly heavy.
Names on Uniforms
Parents are reminded that all uniforms should be clearly labelled. It is worthwhile to check the name is still visible,
as they tend to wash out. If no name is visible it is impossible for us to find the owner. When considering uniforms
can I ask parents to reflect on the length of girl’s skirts. Please check our uniform policy if unsure. Similarly, girl’s
socks should not be low cut sports socks. At this time it is also important to remind parents about boys hair. Hair
should be neatly cut and presented for school each day, teachers will put a note in diaries should uniforms or hair
not be in line with school guidelines.
Apologies to Aimee Fisher
Recently I published an article about our Snow Sports teams at the State championships. Unfortunately as the
document was cut into the Newsletter, Aimee’s name was removed. My apologies, she was an integral member of
our team.

SECONDARY SCHOOL
Responsibility - Don’t take it from them!
2013 is the year of Responsibility at HVGS as we devote discussion time and activities to exploring this important
School value. This truly is an important lifelong value, one that will have a huge impact on our students’ overall life
satisfaction, success and relationships. However, responsibility is rarely learned through gentle lessons, it is usually
the tough experiences that teach us most about responsibility, or at least they would if we were left to experience
them. It is tempting to wrap our children in cotton wool and protect them from the negative experiences of life,
after all, no parent would willingly allow their child to experience physical pain, emotional hurt or undue difficulty.
Yet sometimes, facing the consequences of our decisions is what really helps us to grow. I have learned more about
relationships by saying sorry to people I have hurt than by ignoring and hoping the hurt will go away. I have learned
more about personal accountability by admitting my mistakes and declaring that I want to do better next time. I
have learned more about responsibility by acknowledging my mistakes to my teammates when I have let the team
down. Each of these experiences, and many others, are at the time painful to some degree but have helped me to
become more responsible now than if I had not had those experiences.
Of course, parents should talk through concerns with our children, help them to see the bigger life picture and in
the end remind them that we are always there for them and will support them as they work through the challenges
they face. But, do let them have the experience, as tough as they may seem at times.
Summer Uniform
Now we are in spring, students will be wearing their summer uniform. Students are to wear their hats to and from
School and at recess and lunch. Students not wearing a hat will be moved to a fully shaded area.
Hunter Valley Grammar School has ‘sun-spots’ around School where any student or member of staff can access
sunscreen during the day.
Immunisations
On 6 September, Year 7 boys and girls received their third and final vaccinations. During 2013, Year 7 students
were vaccinated for the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
HPV vaccine (Gardasil): 3 dose schedule for female and male students
Hepatitis B vaccine: 2 dose schedule
Diphtheria-Tetanus-Whooping cough vaccine (dTpa): single dose
Varicella vaccine (chickenpox): single dose
This year, Year 9 boys were vaccinated against:
1. HPV vaccine (Gardasil): 3 dose schedule
2. Hepatitis B vaccine: 2 dose schedule
Thank you for your assistance and support to ensure the success of the NSW Adolescent School-Based Vaccination
Program. NSW achieves high vaccination coverage rates and this success is due to the strong collaboration between
NSW Health, school staff and parents.

Lost Property
Now our students are in their summer uniform, numerous jumpers have arrived in lost property. 50% of these are
unmarked so are unlikely to find their way back to the rightful owner. Mrs Long has jumpers in sizes 10, 14 and 18
in her office and a bundle of unnamed jumpers have been taken to the Main Administration Office lost property
box.
Is your child’s Akubra/Dress Hat clearly marked?
During summer, a lot of students will misplace/lose/forget/leave their Akubra/Dress Hats. This is a gentle reminder
to mark your son or daughter’s hat clearly. Akubras – write in texta on the grey felt underside of the hat (not on
the white silk lining). For dress hats – write in texta on the white lining strip around the underside. All writing
should be able to be seen easily when the hat is first picked up; this way there is no excuse for a student picking up
another student’s hat.
I hope all our families have a relaxing and safe spring holiday and we look forward to our
students returning in Term 4.

Year 12 – Final week ahead
It is always really hard to believe that Year 12 are coming up to their final days at school. There is, as you would
expect, much excitement, but also much trepidation as this long anticipated moment approaches. We look forward
to a luncheon with parents and friends on Thursday, 19 September, followed by the Year 12 Farewell Assembly, at
which the School has a chance to wish the “Class of 2013” well as they look ahead to October and their actual HSC
examinations.
This week, our music students performed before the HSC markers in their Performance Examinations – I hope they
felt they performed to their best. It is always a very big moment for any performer, and it must be such a weight
off their shoulders now that it is done! We have been exceptionally impressed by the standard which performers
both in Drama and Music have reached this year. This is due not just to the enormous creative talents of the
students, but also to the patient guidance and hard work of their teachers – my congratulations all around!
Year 11
My congratulations again go to all of the students in Year 11 who are now in the Student Leadership Group for
2014. The office bearers have now also been announced from within this group:

These students will be officially presented at the Presentation Ball for the first time. Our first assembly next Term
will involve these students officially taking the oath of office before the whole School at our Leaders Induction
Assembly on Tuesday 8 October.
Booklist Information – Year 12 courses commencing next Term
The School is working in partnership with Yorke Educational to organise the purchase of textbooks required for Year
12 courses commencing in Term 4. Information will be sent home via email to all families of current Year 11 students
about this. Essentially, there is an online ordering service, with the choice of home delivery for an extra charge, or
delivery to the School for no charge. Full details of this are available on the website: www.yorkebooks.com.au.
Heads of Faculty have supplied the information regarding texts in each of the courses for which they are
responsible. Questions about the texts themselves are best directed to the Faculty concerned, whilst questions
about the ordering arrangements are best directed to Yorke Educational. Information about the ordering process
will also be emailed out to parents. Please do not hesitate to contact me at school if you encounter any problems
with this process – it is new and we hope to ensure that it all goes very smoothly!
Best wishes to all of our Year 11 students as they begin their Preliminary Course examinations which mark the end
of their Year 11 courses. In Term 4 they begin their actual HSC courses in earnest. They are
waiting with great expectation to enter the Senior Centre, and their “grand entrance” will take
place around 22 October. More detailed information will be sent out about this early in the new
Term.

Tournament of Minds State Finals
Last Sunday, with the much appreciated support of parents, our Language/Literature TOM team assembled at the
University of NSW to represent the Hunter Region at the State Finals, competing against ten other teams from
around Australia.
The team were taken to a room with a supervisor and given 3 hours to devise a 10 minute play in response to a
specific challenge. This year, the challenge was called ‘On A Matter…Whatta?’ In general, the challenge required
each team to devise a situation where some characters (of their own making) had a problem and needed to solve
it. Specifically, the dialogue needed to creatively and meaningfully include examples of onomatopoeia (sound words
like crash, whoosh, thud etc…).
Our team was the 11th performance in a long afternoon but their hilarious scene ensured the tired audience well
and truly woke up! The scene appropriated the film noir situation of an interrogation to solve the problem of how
and why a character’s finger was chopped off when someone slammed a door on it. There were many funny lines
(eg: “So tell me, did you take a walk down Murder Lane?” and the final line – “Don’t worry, it’ll grow back”!) and
some interesting references to a Drama teacher called Mrs White and a Principal with a military background where
apparently “we did a lot of Drama”.
While the humour of the scene was excellent and the audience loved it, we needed to address some of the challenge
criteria more effectively to obtain the kind of score that would topple a couple of the other strong performances,
unfortunately, we came home empty handed this year. Each student can still be happy that they produced a strong
effort, especially the Year 10 girls who were competing for the last time because Secondary TOM is limited to
involvement from Years 7-10. Meanwhile, our Year 7 girls gained valuable experience that they can take into the
competition in 2014.
TOM State Finalists: Hannah Berry, Sarah Broadfield, Logan Fisher, Laura Higgins, Katie Jolliffe, Emma Killalea and

Information & Resources (Library)
At Your Service . . .
Students at HVGS are very familiar with the Student Dashboard that gives them access to a range of electronic
facilities. On the dashboard are a number of online subscriptions provided by Information & Resources and they
include:
Online access to the libraries’ catalogues – There are different search interfaces in the Softlink
Oliver library management system for diverse ages and abilities so students can search for fiction and non-fiction
resources.
Online access to the SLASA Harvard referencing generator – It caters for Junior (abridged), Middle
and Senior levels and is a useful way to quickly create reference lists for school work and assessment tasks.
Online access to TWIG – This resource is useful for Science, Maths and Geography with over 1500
films matched to the curriculum.
Online access to ClickView Library - Students can make use of the School's video resources for
research, homework and assignments with off-campus access to the ClickView Library.
Students and parents wishing to know more should contact the Information &
Resources Team for assistance.

Business & Humanities
Year 12 Legal Studies
The class of 2013, recently had a number of opportunities to enhance their learning.
Firstly, on the 28 August the students attended a HSC Legal Studies Study Day at ASC, St Mary’s. The day gave
insights into the demands of HSC Markers, as well as specifics for the topics of World Order, Shelter, Crime and
Human Rights. The students now have a tool kit to refine the quality of their responses during the HSC Examination
in October.
Secondly, on Friday 6 September, students attended the Human Rights and Social Justice Lecture at the University
of Newcastle. The introduction to the lecture and the speaker was given by HVGS Board Member and long-time
servant of the University Dr Bernard Curran. The 2013 lecture was delivered by member of the Order of Australia
recipient, author, broadcaster, journalist and former Wallaby Peter Fitzsimmons. Fitzsimmons argued the premise
that sport and sporting people, such as Muhammad Ali, Nicky Winmar, Adam Goodes, Gary Norman, Lionel Rose,
Cathy Freeman and Evonne Cawley can advance the causes of equality and the dignified treatment of all. The
students had the opportunity to explore Human Rights from a unique perspective and also to experience some
aspects of University life.

John Rogers’s visits
During weeks 5 and 7 The Business and Humanities Faculty had the pleasure of hosting a special guest who has
been sharing his experience and expertise gathered over decades working in the wine industry, particularly
exporting to Asia.
Mr John Rogers, Director of Caselton Wines, joined the Year 11 Society and Culture class in Week 5 for a traditional
steam-boat banquet and led thoughtful discussion about the cultural traditions of China as well as sharing personal
anecdotes of his experiences travelling and working with the Chinese people. Students gained insight into the
political and social atmosphere in China as well as an understanding of cultural etiquette in practice.
Mr Rogers joined us again in Week 7 to present a more business oriented discussion to the Year 12 Business Studies
and Geography classes. Students were able to draw on more than 40 years of international sales and marketing
experience, as well as Mr Rogers’ extensive knowledge of the wine industry from the vine to the table. This was a
perfect complement to the students’ vineyard visit to Tulloch’s at Pokolbin earlier in Week 7.
Here at HVGS we aim to forge meaningful partnerships with the broader community. This was Mr Rogers’ second
visit to the School to work with our senior students, and we look forward to a continued relationship well into the
future.
Duke of Edinburgh
The Duke of Edinburgh program has in the past few weeks had some real
highlights. I was fortunate a fortnight ago to be in attendance at the
presentation ceremony for the Gold Award candidates. Pictured are the three
that attended Brin Anseline (2012), Julia Rutten (2012) and Michaela Thomson
from the 2013 student cohort.
All 3 were presented with their Gold Award by the Governor of New South
Wales the Honourable Marie Bashir at Government House. The programs and
persistence they have shown to complete the award are testimony to their
character and will to succeed.
Vietnam Trip
One of the programs that incorporates the Duke of Edinburgh program is the
Vietnam Community Service trip. The planning and fundraising for the trip is
well advanced and we are now starting our last large fundraiser, the Raffle. Students so far have been participating
in fortnightly fund raisers such as milk shake making, cake stalls, sausage sizzles to name a few. The group have
begun to work together and all paperwork and deposits have now been collected.
Expeditions
One of the requirements for the Duke of Edinburgh award is expeditions and at the moment we are organising one
for the end of next term travelling down a section of the Great North Walk. Any students who wish to do the walk

Hi, I am Aiden Fuller and I am writing to tell you
about the Young ICT Explorers Competition finals
that we were invited to attend at the University of
New South Wales, Kensington.
My brother, Tynan, and I represented HVGS and competed against a large number of schools from NSW. For my
project I made an educational film designed to teach children to count from 1-10 in 3 different languages (English,
French and German). I used stop motion to animate Lego bricks to build the numbers from 1-10, bit-by-bit. I
composed my own backing music on Garage Band. I used Cyberlink Power Director (which is a movie making
program) to put it all together.
On the day, we got there early and had plenty of time to set up. When my project was being judged, I was quite
nervous. The judges were very nice and enjoyed my film and looked interested. They asked me a lot of questions
about how I made my film. After the judging we were served lunch. It was delicious.
It was great fun. I hope I can attend next year.
Young ICT Explorers 2013 – by Tynan Fuller
On Saturday 31 August 2013, my brother, Aiden and I went to the finals of a competition called Young ICT Explorers.
It was held at the University of NSW, Kensington. We were asked to display our projects in our own display booth
and then present them to a judging panel. For the competition we could make any project we wanted, with the
condition that it was ICT related.
The project I created was an educational Claymation video about a boy named Peter who cyber-bullies a girl named
Josephine and pays the price for his bad choices. I created my movie with Sam Animation (Stop Motion Animation),
Cynegobs (Green Screen software), Music Composition (Garage Band) and Voice Over. I then put all the components
together in Cyberlink Powerdirector to create the complete movie.
The judges were very nice to me when I was being judged. They asked me lots of questions about how and why I
created my project. I answered them as accurately as I could. They seemed very interested in my video and even
laughed at some parts of it.
At the end of the day, they gathered everyone into the auditorium for the awards ceremony. When they announced
the winners of the years 4-6 division, they called out my name. I came 3rd Place in NSW. I was given a certificate
and a $100 iTunes voucher. I was so excited. I hope I can compete again next year.

Electric Vehicle Prize – Team Reports
For the second year running, HVGS entered
the Electric Vehicle Prize run by the
University of Newcastle. This year we
entered two teams – one in each of the
school divisions: a hub class bike (where
the motor is inside one wheel) and a chain
class bike (where the motor drives the back
wheel via a chain). Here are the reports
from the two teams:
Team 1 report
The members of Team 1 were Harrison Poynter, Ben Myers, Edward Meredith, Damon Jones, Josh Spring, Sarah
Mayall and Miriam Lewis.
Our journey began and we worked out our design, bought a bike, battery and motor. In building our electric vehicle
we had to make sure that we stuck to the guidelines, budget, and the shape of the bike has to be aerodynamic.
After a lot of work the bike was rideable by the start of Term 3, and we started to test ride it. Lots of people saw us
riding it around the car park and the paths of the School.
On Tuesday 6 August, the long awaited practice day had arrived. This involved scrutineering, driver training and a
practice session. Altogether the day went smoothly and we had lots of fun. After the thrilling day it was back to
work, to improve the bike even more to be prepared for the race. During the day we had many teachers, families
and friends there to support us. Some people who came were Mr Teys and Mrs Long. The major sponsors of the
prize also came to watch the races!
First up was the scrutineering and questions about the design, marketing and general information about the bike.
Next, we had the pole position trials and Damon and Sarah were the riders. We came 6th which was a great position.
The final race for the chain section finally came. Sarah started the race and was riding for 30 minutes, then she
swapped with Damon and he rode until the battery ran out.
In the end we came out 7th in our division and walked away with $100 prize money. Altogether this was a great
experience for all of us and we would recommend it for anyone who wants to learn about engines, batteries, work
with electrics and do lots of practical work.
Thanks to Mr Roberts, Mr Redhead and Mr Mayall, for helping us and to all of the parents and friends who
supported us!
By Miriam Lewis and Sarah Mayall
Team 2 Report
We had to research for parts and fixtures that would be fitted to the bike to meet the rules, as we had to have
things like brake lights, turn signals, fairings and many other things including safety features. Once the parts had
been ordered and had arrived, we were fortunate to have some teachers very generously give up their afternoons
and some lunchtimes to get this electric bike on the road and ready for race day.
Some of the things that had to be done was designing fairings (which are the aerodynamic fixtures, like that on a
motor bike), designing a stand to hold the back wheel up, connecting wires and testing electrical equipment, fixing
things to the bike, and making it go fast and look good. We could not have done it without the help of Mr Roberts,
Mr Redhead and Mr Mayall: they helped us in every way possible making sure things where on track and up to a
high standard. Unfortunately Team 2’s hub motor died as the controller sadly burnt out. Mr Mayall fixed a new one
but we were unable to ride our bike at the practice day due to technical difficulties.
15
Race day came and everything was looking good, until halfway through the race our bike decided to pull a wobbly
and not work anymore, again due to technical difficulties.
Although this stood in our way it did not in any way affect what we learnt over the course of this project – it was
fun and exciting to see so many people participating in such an event. HVGS hopes to expand this project over the
future making it into an even bigger project.
By Brayden Duignan-Teys for Team 2 (which also included Willem Hendriks, Mitchell Levick, James McCaffrey,
Harry Burns, James Davies).
TAS- Technical and Applied Science
Last week was again very busy for the department with the turn of the Year 12 Design and Technology to present
their HSC work for marking. Three students have worked very hard to develop their ideas into some excellent
projects. These were supported with a folio that charted their design journey, explaining their thoughts and
decision along the way.
Austin Bond constructed an electric guitar. However, the difference is that he can play it without having to plug it
in. This required him to incorporate a power supply, and amp into the body of the guitar. He has also incorporated
a digital tuner so it becomes a completely autonomous unit.
David Cantwell needed a cupboard that could turn into a bed. He then went about designing a piece of furniture
that looks like a wardrobe with sliding doors and shallow cupboards to hold pillows and linen, but with a simple
opening of a door, a bed folds down for immediate use.
Oliver Wesley has a love of skateboarding and finds riding at night difficult. To make night riding safer he designed
a long board with LED lighting. This allows him to see at night and also be seen by others. He designed the shape
and finish to make a very special looking board.
Year 11 Design and Technology has also finished their major project which was a piece of furniture that had to have
a recycled component. Dylan Bennett made a table that used left over decking boards. Taylor Daaboul McKenzie
made a pallet seat for an outdoor area, while Rebecca Smith used some old draws to a make a jewellery display
stand. Jack Mackenzie repurposed a tree slab and made a new coffee table base, Georgia Barry made a bed base
based on pallets while Emily Garrett used some old children’s blankets to make a dress. Each project showed some
real ingenuity and gave them a good insight to what is expected next year.

NSW State Enduro Motorcycle Champion
Congratulations to Jeremy Gould (Yr 9) who was acclaimed NSW Champion after 8 gruelling rounds during 2013.
Well done Jeremy on your second State Championship.
Rugby
This will be the last Rugby bulletin for the Term. Before signing off for the end of the Rugby season it is important
to acknowledge the Rugby achievements for 2013. There are still Rugby events to update as this version is posted
on-line.
Digby Rayward Shield
Good luck to the Digby Rayward Shield team for their upcoming matches to be played at HVGS on the 13 September.
After a great year the HVGS team are looking to regain the Shield. The biggest threat will again come from the
strong Edgeworth side. In all 6 teams will contest this competition
U14’s Success
The other success story of the 2013 season, the U14s will travel to Forster on the 17 September to contest the final
of the Coast to Country Cup. This is the first time the School has reached the finals. The lively training sessions of
late indicate that the boys are raring to go.
NSW Country
Jack Arthur will be part of the NSW Country Schools side that will take on the Fijian Schoolboy side in Armidale on
the 24 September.
The scorecard from 2013 would demonstrate that along with Jack Arthur, Cooper Jenkins reached a high level of
representative School’s rugby. The U12s reached the State Finals in 7s, HVGS had a positive showing against Central
Coast Grammar in a series of matches and, the School once again successfully hosted an international fixture.

Rugby League 7’s
On Monday 3 teams headed to Bankstown to compete in the NSW CIS Rugby League Sevens Championships.
The Open team started well with a convincing win (John Wycliffe CS) before going down to a well drilled Riverina
Anglican. On for and against the side was placed into the Plate Division. Two solid wins in the afternoon were not
enough to secure a grand final position.
The 15’s side were off to a slow start with a draw before hitting their straps and putting a string of wins together.
Unfortunately they were stopped by BTAC in the semi-finals.
The 13’s came close in every game. Another slow start hindered them only slightly. Every game had HVGS in the
lead until the dying minutes.
It was a great day and all of the boys played some great Rugby League. Congratulations to all players and coaches
involved.

Team members included:
Open: Nicholas Andrews, Jack Arthur, Grant Bailey, James Bodycote, James Bowman, Huon Croucher, Timothy
Farmer, Ryan Gael, Jonathan Hope, Daniel Killalea, Carter Redman, and Jacob Smyth.

Equestrian
Our riders competed at Sugar Loaf Pony Club rally day on 11 August and Clair Bonnor achieved 1st place in her Hack
and Rider Class. She placed second in the Dressage, Show jumping, bareback Class and Pair of Riders. Clair also
competed in some sporting events placing 3rd. On 22 August Clair Bonnor attended the show rider and came 1st in
her riding class.
22
On 19 August, Ruby Varley competed at “Jump into spring” at Hawkesbury achieving 3rd and 5th place in the 90cm
super phase as well as a 3rd in the 1 metre super phase jump. It is pleasing to see the ability and the confidence
shown by students participating in equestrian for sport. Last week the students had a game of musical chairs where
they had to ride around in the arena and when the music stopped they had correctly dismount and be the first to
sit down hanging onto the horses reins. Claire Bonnor won in group 1 and Anika Buining won in group 2.
On Friday 30 August, Baylee Wheeler competed at Gloucester School horse sports and received the Reserve
Champion trophy for her age group.
