Hi everyone,
This week has finally arrived! Thursday is the
Semester II Concert (in the Smith Auditorium) with
a wide variety of musical ensembles. Whatever
style of music you enjoy, Jazz, Pop or Classical,
you will find it here. Nathan and Oli will be back to
MC the event so don’t miss their last Shore musical
experience. (It is free after all… how often does
that happen?)
Next Monday we have our annual Carol Service led
by the Chapel Choir, so it would be great to see all
of you there. The choristers have been working
hard to perfect an extensive list of carols, some old
favourites and some less well-known.
Here are the dates one last time:
Semester II Concert – 24 November 7.30pm in
Ken and Joan Smith Auditorium
Festival of Lessons and Carols –

Year 11 Business Plan
Challenge 2011
Congratulations to the ‘Aurora’ Team for their
outstanding achievement in being judged runners
up.
As part of the Preliminary Business Studies course,
students work in teams to develop a hypothetical
business plan. The students are given the
opportunity to create a business that complements
their own interest areas and apply the business
concepts and skills learnt in class. The business
plan requires an in depth examination of
operations, marketing, finance and human resource
management for the business.
This assessment program coincides with the
University of Newcastle Business Plan Challenge,
and so a number of the stronger plans were
submitted to this competition. The challenge
culminates with the selection of four finalists to
present their business plan for judging by a panel of
members from the local business community. Chris
Gray, Will Lugsdin, Sam Murden and Angus
Wilson were chosen as finalists in this year’s
competition based on their plan for a parkour* shoe
business called ‘Aurora’.
The team travelled to the University of Newcastle
on Friday 11th November to present their concept
before a judging panel of University professors and
local business community members. They
presented with confidence and professionalism,
developing important presentation skills and
experience in the process. They had the opportunity
to talk with the Dean of the Business School and
the Lord Mayor of Newcastle.
As runners-up on the day, the ‘Aurora’ Team
received the $500 team prize, and the Economics &
Business Department received $500. It gives The
Economics & Business Department great pleasure
in donating the $500 to the Steven Lucas Research
Grant along with a contribution from the four Year
11 students.

de Miklouho-Maclay Prize
Results for the 2011 National Chemical Analysis
Competition are now available. Although Shore
School did not win, our three teams were very well
placed among the 128 teams in the Finals. The team
of Darren Low, Henry King and Karl Yan shared
fourth place with a school from Hobart, Tasmania.
Next was the Shore team of Michael Jamieson,
Will Lugsdin and Hugh Macrae, while the team of
Peter Jonas, George Koukoullis and Charles Tym
was placed eighth.
Some further great news is that Michael Jamieson
has been awarded this year’s de Miklouho-Maclay
Prize for Excellence in Chemical Analysis for his
performance at the competition.
Congratulations and well done!
The White Sakura
The soft white petals blossom,
the bud secretly opens.
A feast for all senses
a time when all things grow.
Spring overtakes the chill and winter falls away,
and like a victor on the podium,
it presents its pure white petals.
A fragrance only nature could hatch.
As the Earth rotates,
and the days grow longer,
the Sakura wakes
to share its beauty with the world.

Year 9 Drama will conclude this term’s Drama
performances in the Drama Studio when they
present their plays this Friday 25th at 5.30. We
would like to welcome parents and friends to the
short play as the boys have worked hard to ensure a
night of entertainment. Both Mrs Black’s and Mrs
Jooste’s classes have been preparing for this
evening throughout this term. The boys have
chosen their plays from a selection presented to
them and have directed and staged their own
performances with the help of their teachers. So
please join with us for the final production of the
year!
Congratulations to the Year 12 Drama students on
their inclusion into the HSC Drama show case
OnStage. The boys are Andrew Creer, Nick Dunn,
Rhys Gillmer, Ed Kemp and Jackson Williams.
OnStage presents a selection of Drama HSC works
from around the state every year in early February.
We look forward to watching our boys tread the
boards with the best in the State.
Finally, well done to all the Year 11 boys who were
involved in Macbeth! The hard work and
commitment was realised in four
excellent performances. Well done!

1st XI Cricket Report
After yet another week of humid, showery weather, during which the wicket at Northbridge was under
covers and receiving what preparation it could, Friday and Saturday at last saw the sun come out and a hint
that summer might actually be on its way. It says a great deal about the work done by the groundsmen at
Northbridge that, with all of the challenges of the weather this year, they can consistently produce
extremely good wickets. Saturday’s was no exception, with a light cover of grass and firm to the touch.
After a purposeful warm up, it seemed apparent that the Shore side was in a good frame of mind to
complete the job of scoring the 131 runs needed for first innings points. Taylor Francis (32) and Henry
King (32) resumed Shore’s innings on 2-32. Both worked steadily, carefully adapting to the conditions and
the bowling, to take the score to 62 before Taylor misjudged a slower ball, skying the ball to be caught at
midwicket. It was a shame that he was unable to complete the task that he had set himself: everything to
that moment suggested that he had set himself for a long stay at the crease. Henry was joined by Hamish
Dunlop (31) and the two continued to bat sensibly, taking the score to 82 before King’s concentration
lapsed and he feathered a ball through to the keeper. Just as Shore seemed to be gaining control of the
innings, a wicket set the side back.
Fortunately, Angus Pulver (15) played a gritty innings and, with Dunlop, helped to add 49 important runs.
Dunlop then fell, pulling a ball directly to midwicket with the score on 131. Shore moved to 6-136, with
Pulver following a few minutes later. What should have been a relatively straightforward run chase was
being made increasingly difficult.
Tom Moore (8) had been sent in at No 7 to hurry the scoring along. A boundary before lunch suggested
that he would take the game by the scruff of the neck in the second session. However, this was not to be
and he was dismissed with the team just 15 runs short of the first innings points. Happily, Calum Buckling
(5) and Steane Davies (35) ensured that there would be no further dramas and first innings points were
achieved for the loss of 7 wickets. As is inevitably the case, the pressure was released and runs came more
easily. Steane batted particularly well to top score for the innings, and Shore was eventually dismissed for
195: an overall lead of 32. Four scores of between 31 and 35 told a tale.
There were 44 overs left in the day’s play and an outside chance of forcing an outright result. The chances
increased significantly as Calum Buckling (3-25) tore through the top order to reduce High to 4-22 at
lunch; a very sharp run out by Charlie Stobo was also noteworthy. Jack Racklyeft (1-3) captured a wicket
in the second over after tea, but it ended there for Shore, as the High batsmen applied themselves well and
saw out the rest of the day for the loss of no further wickets, to finish eventually at 5-90.
So first innings points to Shore and a step in the right direction. The team is building nicely for Round 3,
against a very capable St Joseph’s side, at Hunters Hill.

SLS REPORT - WEEK 5 -
Saturday beach and wave conditions were more back to the norm following last week’s perfect conditions. Despite a
slight onshore wind all morning the water surface and swell size allowed for a full range of training and competition
events to take place. During the week this was also possible as north east winds dominated on most afternoons.
The Year 7 nippers continued with their teams’ competition with a beach access path relay run and a team swim
event. They then went on a journey paddle down to Dee Why where they sat out beyond the turning cans of the
Ocean Thunder surf boat races, before returning into a head wind to Long Reef.

selected. Only 3 boys (2 water, 1 beach) from each age group are selected. The Inter branch Championship
is being held Dec 9th-11th.
The Bronze group participated in a range of activities in preparation for the start of the Bronze exam that will hopefully begin with resuscitation, signals, first aid and radio this Saturday (19th November) with rescues, run swim run
and scenarios set down for 26th November. As part of their training the squads did a mock resuscitation exam with
Josh Ferris and Ben Neighbour acting as examiners and scenarios being the focus on Thursday afternoon.
The patrollers began with a run to Dee Why and a point swim followed by a range of team events at Long Reef. The
Patrol competition results from Saturday continue to indicate that we have 4 very evenly matched teams.

understatement. Once you've signed up they send
you emails, text messages and notifications every
time someone posts, comments or pokes you.
Believe me on your birthday there is nothing worse
than looking at your email account and seeing
that four hundred of your friends have posted on
your wall. Is this a meaningful act? Do you really
have to reply to all them?
The intense level of interaction which Facebook
demands can't seriously be a good thing. I see it as
draining and, to a little extent, invasive. Although it
is called Facebook, in my opinion, it will never
really suffice for a real face to face conversation.

Breaking News—A Wild Rockstar Has been Spotted!
What happened last night? Well, Joe was battling
with his history assignment. Harry? He was out for
a run. Peter finally got his P plates while Ed
chatted to Steph and Steph to Ed. Oh and Sarah
and Phil are now in a 'complicated' relationship.
How do I know all this? Facebook: the taker-ofspare-time, the procrastinator’s best friend, the
stalker’s dream. It's that seemingly harmless
webpage that we as teenagers spend half our nights
staring at.
I know what you’re thinking: "Ah (sigh), here
comes another rant about poor ol' Facebook". And
yes you would be right. Am I really that
predictable? But what interests me about Facebook
isn't its privacy issues nor incidence of cyber
bullying but rather the sole essence of Facebook:
communication, and the way it and other social
networking sites for that matter, have shaped how
we as the younger generation communicate.
Late last night when prowling my News Feed I
stumbled across various posts and comments all of
which I read with anything but excitement. To be
honest, I don't really what to know how great your
lunch was, Mike or if you’re out walking you dog
in the rain, Sophie. Social networking has changed
the way we interact, reducing the quality of our
conversations to more or less a constant stream of
banter that lacks the intelligence and engagement
of a face to face conversation. On top of that our
language changes, resorting to a sort of caveman
like communication style: omg roflol dats so funny
ily.
Most troubling to me is the way in which social
networking seem to be forcing 'too much'
communication between people. To say they just
'connect' people to one another would be an

The Secretarial
Do we take our lifestyle and freedoms for
granted? Short answer yes, long answer no.
Whilst at the Vote Formal event this week, it
was made evident to us how much other parts
of the world are trying to obtain close to the
level of freedom that we have. The Arab
Spring is a good example of this, where
average people in Tunisia, Syria, Egypt and
Libya were willing to fight for their freedom,
and for the freedom of their children.
We live in a democratic society. What
separates the democratic society of Australia,
from that of Zimbabwe, is that we have
complete assurance that our elections are not
rigged, that there is a fair procedure in place,
and that all Australian citizens aged 18 + have
an equal right to vote (unless they are in jail).
We have never had to fight against our own
government to obtain this right, and it is
assumed that we never will have to.
Back to the statement made at the start of this
column. I, like most Australians, rarely think
about the freedom that they have. We rarely
think about the rights that we have that others
fight for and die for around the world as we
speak.
But there is another side to this story. If our
rights and freedoms were threatened we would
fight for them. We wouldn’t take our lifestyle
for granted; we would fight through political
activism and if necessary take up arms. Almost
all Australians who have died in combat have
done so to fight for our lifestyle and freedom
and in many cases so that others around the
world can also experience them.
Suburban Sports
From Lol to the Rick Roll, the pinnacle of
success has advanced to a point where like
Julia Gillard we can now “move forward”.
Here, such reforms in active athleticism
have made the already static urban sports to
now become… Suburban sports.
Reverse Ghosting:
Ghosting, credited to Hamish and Andy in
2008, soon proved too difficult for those
crippled by social networking sites.
Common complaints became “no longer
can I manage my space between targets”
and “I’m way too clumsy to ghost these
days, I feel like all I do is tumble over
them”. However, rising from the tumblers
emerged the action sport where those who
ghost walk their walk and those who twitter
talk about how they just ate a sandwich.
Rules:
1. Find target to ghost.
2. Walk in front of target.
3. Continue being followed.
Now those deterred by the realisation that
reverse ghosting is essentially a walk in the
park, there are also some neat tricks to be
performed by the reverse ghoster. This
includes the infamous “corner turn follow”
and the radical “change step shove it”
where no rookie can pull off such a
polterheist. Therefore, before your face
books a different activity like a poke war,
try reverse ghosting where it’s like ghosting
but in reverse.
Although we may take our freedom for
granted, deep down, we all care deeply for our
freedom.

SLS REPORT - WEEK 6 Saturday beach and wave conditions were affected by a thick sea fog making visibility difficult. Slight
onshore winds all morning made for a smooth water surface and the small swell size allowed for a full
range of training and competition events to take place. During the week south-easterly winds dominated on
most afternoons bringing cool, showery conditions for the hardy competitors.
The Year 7 Nippers started Saturday with a pole run which was followed by a team wade relay and a long
distance run swim run. Following this they held the Year 7 surfing competition in clean 1 foot waves.

The Bronze group took a day out of their training for some good old fashioned beach competition. The
boys divided themselves into 6 teams, each led by a Year 11 instructor, and competed in a team swim,
beach flags, team board, wading relay, patient rescue, sprint relay and team ironman. After six events, 4 of
the teams were within 4 points of each other; with six points available in the final event. Michael
Jamieson's team, the 'Chatswoods', beat Josh Clark's team the 'Narwhals' by one point to claim overall
victory. The Chatswoods were Zac Harrington, Christian Starkey, Lachlan Cambridge and Aaron Walters.
The Year 11 training officers will be attending a full day course at Long Reef on Saturday 10th December
and Wednesday evening 14th December as a pre requisite to obtaining the TO award. The course will be
run by Shannon Job, a Shore Senior instructor from the recent past and current member at North Steyne
SLSC.
The Patrol competition continued with a run to Dee Why for an anticipated teams water start point swim.
Unfortunately due to the heavy sea fog this had to be called off due to advice from the Warringah lifeguard.
Dee Why and Long Reef beaches were at the time a couple of the only beaches open due to this unusual
weather event.
Nevertheless a tough run-wade-run-wade-run event was held in the southern corner before the jog back to
Longy where several long board paddling events took place around the apex course set earlier in the
morning. A special mention goes this week to Jack Neighbour who competed strongly against the older
students to regularly place in the top six in the three back to back races. Tom O’Connor was also a stand
out in all three races.

On another note Aston Cox successfully crossed Sydney Harbour Heads from North to South on the 20th
of November in an unusual foggy haze. The reason was to raise funds via sponsorship toward his
upcoming trip to Nepal. The course started at Quarantine Head (North side) and paddled across the
Heads in a Southerly direction, finishing in Lady Bay - see map. From start to finish he covered a distance
of 2km with a time of 14minutes and 15seconds.
Unfortunately Sydney Northern Beaches has been unable to test our Bronze squad this term as they
struggle with yet another new system of centralised testing. We are totally in their hands and the Bronze
exam will now have to take place early in Term I, 2012. Staff and students are all frustrated by this
situation but there is nothing that can be done about it until next year.

SHORE BOAT CLUB
Rowing Report – Sydney Grammar Regatta
1 and 2 VIII take early honours as GPS racing season commences
st
nd
Last Saturday saw the beginning of the racing season for the majority of the Shore Boat Club, with Sydney
Grammar School hosting its annual regatta in Hen and Chicken Bay. It is with great pleasure that I report
that of the 14 crews that raced, 11 crews tasted victory. The regatta started off with heats for the GPS
crews and it was here that the spectators glimpsed what was to come, with our senior First and Second
VIII’s cruising to victory in their qualifying heats.
After the GPS heats, the Year 9 quads took to the water with great performances coming from all, and a
particularly brave performance coming from the 7th crew where half of the boat was experiencing their first
taste of racing. The 1st through to 6th quads all won their races well.
The Year 10 VIII’s took to the stage next and perform they did, with great rows coming from all the crews.
The 4th Year 10 VIII, in only one of a handful of rows together fought gallantly to take third. The 3rd Year
10 VIII had one of the more impressive margins of the day with a massive 22 seconds between them and
the King’s crew which finished 2nd. Both the 1st and 2nd Year 10 VIII’s crew finished with the two fastest
times in Year 10 VIII category, winning both of their divisions
The Second IV was next to go to the start line for their final, and after a very impressive first stage
struggled to find momentum after being hit by a speedboat wash in the middle of the race.
The 2nd VIII hit the course next and showed that they will be a force to be reckoned with this year posting a
very impressive 4 second win over the St Joseph’s crew.
This was followed by a very dominant display from our senior 1st VIII who took a very early lead in the
first stage of the race and never looked like faulting. The performance resulted in a very impressive 4
second win over their rivals. Next weekend the Shore Boat Club will be travelling to Penrith to compete in
the annual St Joseph’s regatta.

2nd XI Cricket Report vs Sydney High School - Day 2
In a very slow day of cricket the 2nd XI bowled for the majority of the day to a very conservative Sydney
High batting lineup. Defending 206, Harry Lamble and Ed Bristow bowled aggressively early in the day
and with some help from Charles Tym and James Pearce helped to bowl High out for 144 after 70 overs.
The wickets were shared around in a display of partnership bowling rather than individual wicket taking to
see Shore take 1st innings points, with mention to Peter Oatley for numerous catches in the outfield. Shore
then attempted to win outright with a quick fire 50 from James Bradley and George Koukoullis (24) in 10
overs that gave Shore the opportunity to bowl for outright once again to a very conservative High batting
order. Although Shore took 4 early wickets, they were unable to capitalize on the start and were beaten by
time to secure an outright victory, nevertheless, it was a great day of cricket for the 2nd XI.
