PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
The College community gathered together
on February 22 for the opening Mass of
the school year with a celebration of the
Eucharist. As is our tradition, we asked for
God’s blessing on all for the coming year.
The Mass of the Holy Spirit also provided
us with the opportunity to join with the
Augustinians in celebrating the 175th
anniversary of the Augustinians in Australia.
Our Prior Provincial, Fr Tony Banks OSA,
presided at the Mass, together with
Augustinian Fathers, Senan Ward OSA,
Peter Jones OSA, Laurie Mooney OSA,
John Barry OSA and Paul Maloney OSA.
We congratulate the Augustinians on their
ministry in bringing Saint Augustine’s sense
of community to those whom they serve.
In November 2011, the government
announced that a new National School
Improvement Framework (NSIF) and
Australian Curriculum would be developed
over the next three years and introduced in
2015. In preparation for the NSIF, we have
already begun this process in developing
our Mission Statement and Strategic
Plan, to ensure that the NSIF and the new
Australian Curriculum are implemented in
our daily practices. Through distributive
leadership and collective responsibility, we
have continued to develop our operational
plans to support the strategic intentions of
the eight key focus areas of the Strategic
Plan: Religious and Spiritual Dimension,
Curriculum Development, Teaching
and Learning, Pastoral Care, Sport and
Co-curricular, Partnership and Network
Facilities, Resources and Finances and the
International Student Programme. These
plans have enabled us to assess what is
needed to implement the plan and work
towards creating opportunities to embed
excellence and encourage growth across
the College.
We were very proud of the achievements
of our 2012 HSC students. The boys
excelled across a diverse range of
subjects and at all levels, in particular
those whose extraordinary dedication
placed them in the top percentage of
the state. Congratulations to Thomas
Matthews, 2012 Dux of the College and
Rory O’Connor, 2012 Proxime Accessit.
The Class of 2012 results were due to a
collaborative commitment by students,
teachers and parents – congratulations.
On March 13 we were introduced to
the new Bishop of Rome and newly
elected Holy Father, Pope Francis, who
has a very close relationship with the
Augustinians. This was most evident
with Pope Francis celebrating the Mass
at the Basilica of Saint Augustine with
members of the Augustinian Order on the
occasion of their 184th General Chapter
2
in September. Beginning his homily at
the Mass, Pope Francis reflected on
the restlessness of the human spirit,
as described by Saint Augustine in the
first book of his Confessions: “You have
made us for yourself, O Lord, and our
heart is restless until it rests in you”.
Concluding his homily, Pope Francis called
on the Augustinians and the worldwide
Augustinian communities, to keep in our
hearts the spiritual restlessness of love
towards each other. Following the General
Chapter in Rome, we were delighted to
notify our community of the appointment
of Fr Alejandro Anton OSA, as the new
Prior General of the Order. We were also
delighted to advise that our Prior Provincial,
Fr Tony Banks OSA, was appointed to the
role of Assistant General of the Order.
As a community, we continue to promote
the formation of the whole person by
practising the Augustinian values of
Veritas, Caritas and Communitas through
the various Masses, liturgies, retreats
and reflection days held for staff and
students throughout the year. Of significant
importance was our Patron’s Day Mass
which was held on August 30. The Mass
was one of community celebration which
continued with the boys participating in the
College Walkathon and enjoying a picnic at
Tania Park.
The Retreat Programme at St Augustine’s
has long been a distinctive and important
feature of College life. All retreats have
given students and staff a community
experience in a relaxed environment in
order to foster unity within the group. The
Year 11 boys attended a retreat in October,
while the Year 12 Retreat was held in June
at Kurrajong with the theme A Future Full
of Hope. The staff also participated in a
Reflection Day in May where the theme
was We Are People of Mission.
Students from Year 5 to 10 participated
in very successful and positive camps
and outdoor education programmes. The
boys enjoyed the experience to develop
stronger friendships and connections in a
positive environment. Through our Social
Justice (SEA) Programme, five Year 10
boys participated in an eight week student
exchange to Ireland and the USA. Initially
the boys travelled to Ireland to attend
Glenstal Abbey for four weeks, then
travelled to the USA where one group
of boys attended St Rita’s Augustinian
College in Chicago, while the other group
attended Malvern Preparatory School in
Philadelphia. The boys returned home
proud of their accomplishments and having
established lifelong connections with the
Benedictine community in Ireland and the
Augustinian communities in Chicago and
ST AUGUSTINE’S COLLEGE - SYDNEY | YEAR BOOK 2013
Philadelphia. We are excited to be able to
offer this eight week exchange programme
to our Year 10 group in 2014.
Our Social Justice (SEA) Programme
was again very rewarding this year for
members of our College community who
worked closely with wider communities,
both locally and internationally. Our
boys involved themselves with local
communities including Matthew Talbot
Hostel, Melanoma March, Community
Connect Gardening, St Vincent de Paul
Winter Appeal, Global Connections Gala
Day and the Augustinian Justice and
Peace Symposium. Each year we are in
awe at the willingness and generosity of
the boys in raising funds for our Lenten
Appeal. This year the boys raised $9,500,
part of which was sent to the Augustinian
Sisters of Consolation at the TMMR
Orphanage in the Philippines, while
the remaining monies were directed to
the SEA Programme in support of the
projects in Nepal, Cambodia and India.
The international immersions continued
this year with the first SEA Project Team
travelling to Nepal in the September
holidays, where they continued their work
with the Disabled Services Association
in Kathmandu. At the beginning of the
December holidays, a Project Team will
travel to Cambodia to support the Who Will
Village, while a Project Team will travel, for
the first time, to India, to visit Augustinian
communities in need.
At the 2013 Foundation Welcome
Cocktail Party we celebrated the launch
of the St Augustine’s College Foundation
and introduced Rod Loneragan as the
College’s Head of Foundation. The aim of
the Foundation is focused on the future
of our boys by providing a structured and
ongoing Old Boys network engaging in
activities and fundraising at the College.
During Term 3 we hosted several
Principal’s Year 5 Parent Dinners, where
we shared our hopes, plans and dreams
for the future of the College. In September
we held our first SAOBA International
Event in Shanghai, where over 100
past international students and their
parents attended an evening of renewing
relationships and sharing the future
plans of the College and the International
Student Programme. In October we
held our Foundation Spring Party for all
parents at the International College of
Management, Sydney located at Manly. It
was a wonderful evening of entertainment
and dancing. Impressive raffle and
auction items raised funds for the College
Foundation.
The SAC Foundation coincided with the
announcement of our College Master
Plan and the Towards a Bright Future
2025 Project which is gaining impetus as
we move into the ‘action phase’ of the
Master Plan. Our concept design plans
for the new Primary School and Science
Wing look fantastic and will provide a new
chapter in the delivery of education that
incorporates 21st Century resources for
our community. This is indeed our largest
project to date and an extraordinary time
for the College.
Our enrolments continue to remain strong,
with healthy waiting lists for 2014 and
2015. The 2013 College Open Day again
highlighted the extraordinary commitment
and pride that the students and staff
have in St Augustine’s College. There
was no greater sense of community than
the welcome that the staff and students
gave to the wider community on March 8
this year. In 2013, we welcomed 86 Year
5 students, of which 40 have brothers
already at the school. Year to date 2013
enrolments figures are 1,153 with a
forecast of approximately 1,227 students
for 2014 and approximately 1,261 students
for 2015. The College is undertaking
extensive building works and refurbishment
in 2014 and 2015, which will significantly
impact on the Year 7 intake for 2015. While
the new classrooms and facilities will be
advantageous from 2016, the ‘downside’
is that we cannot accommodate as many
students in Year 7 2015, as in the past.
In March this year, we facilitated Focus
Work Groups with several key stakeholders
at the College, including new parents, new
staff and new students. The feedback from
these groups resulted in a very positive
From Enrolment to Easter Report, where
parents indicated that they were pleased
and reassured that St Augustine’s College
is a boys school for boys and that we
know how to teach boys. We thank
the members of the community who
contributed to the work groups and we
look forward to continuing our effective
delivery of teaching and learning.
The following pages of this Year Book
will highlight the remarkable individual
and team accomplishments of the staff
and students during 2013. Of special
mention is the outstanding production of
Lord of the Flies with all performances
sold out prior to Opening Night. The
audiences were witness to a night of
wonderful entertainment with magnificent
performances from our students. Our 1st
XV Rugby Team are to be congratulated,
firstly on achieving the ISA Premiership
for 2013 and secondly for winning the
Waratah Shield Grand Final with a 64-21
victory over Oakhill College.
As the year draws to a close we remember
those of our community who have passed
away this year and are at peace with the
Risen Lord.
I would like to thank the Augustinians,
particularly our Prior Provincial, Fr Tony
Banks OSA, Fabian Dwyer, Chairman of
the College Board and members of the
College Board, Matthew Hutchison, Head
of School and the Leadership Team, the
committed staff, parents and boys for
their guidance, trust and support shown
to me over the past year. It is indeed a
pleasure and privilege to be Principal of the
College and I look forward to continuing
my leadership and direction of the College,
focusing on our Mission Statement and
Strategic Plan 2011-2015.
Tim Cleary
Principal
The College is extremely fortunate to
have such tremendous support from
the P & F Association and the Sports
Club. Both associations played an active
role in strengthening the partnership
between family, school and the wider
community and I thank those members
of the community who contributed to the
success of the year both socially and on
the sporting field.

HEAD OF SCHOOL
Education never happens in a vacuum.
The conscious efforts of parents and
teachers to help our young people grow
in wisdom, understanding and in strength
are always subject to the many influences
that surround them. It has been interesting
to observe the response of our students
to the state of world affairs in Syria. Many
students feel deeply and passionately
about this conflict; yet it is not a blind
passion, it is thoughtful, considered and
reflective.
As educators, we believe that our greatest
service to the young is to educate them to
think, not to indoctrinate them. We seek to
obtain excellent Higher School Certificate
examination results and give our students
the marks they need to open doors for the
courses they aspire to in their next stage of
the journey. We also, however, seek to instil
a love of learning and an ability to question
and think independently. We want our
graduates to have inquisitive and searching
minds which ask deeper questions and
4
understand how to enquire and so develop
skills for life-long learning.
This year, St Augustine’s College has
encouraged teachers to participate in Ron
Ritchhart’s research on the promotion
of a Culture of Thinking. Kylie Bowra,
Middle School Academic Advisor, has
led staff in deep and rich discussions in
which teaching, learning and thinking are
a fundamental part of a teacher’s ongoing
experience; thus providing the foundation
for nurturing the boys’ thinking and
learning.
Complementing these discussions
has been the development of a culture
of teacher peer observation. This is a
supportive and developmental process
for teachers to reflect on their classroom
practice, coupled with receiving feedback
from a trusted peer on their observations
as part of an approach to improve
the quality of teaching and learning.
All teaching staff at the College have
embraced the programme, which has
further created a culture with an explicit
improvement agenda.
The academic performance of the College
continues to go from strength to strength,
with 23% of the 2012 graduating class
achieving a study score above 90; 85%
were successful in gaining a university
placement, with the vast majority achieving
their first preference. These results
were achieved by a group of students
characterised by both the quality and
generosity of their involvement in College
life.
This year, many boys throughout the
College distinguished themselves
academically in various national
and international competitions and I
congratulate all boys who have achieved
to their potential in their studies throughout
the year.
In the co-curricular life of the College
many opportunities inspired students to
pursue their interests and talents, which
saw boys stretch themselves in many
different ways. An Augustinian education
aims to encourage students to be open
to growth, which involves a willingness
to appreciate their gifts and to test their
talents. Our achievements are not so much
about success but how their experiences
contribute to their formation and growth.
Our Music and Drama Programmes
reflect important elements of the identity
and culture of the College. A respect
for creativity and a commitment to the
imagination have always been valued
in an Augustinian education. There is a
strong emphasis on participation and the
nourishment of individual talents, while also
maintaining a commitment to excellence.
Instrumentalists from all Year Groups
had many opportunities to display their
talents and love of music to appreciative
audiences. Our many ensembles won
numerous awards and performed with
distinction.
Faculty Co-ordinator of Drama, Gillian
Towle’s lucid adaptation of William
Golding’s Lord of the Flies was nothing
less than a triumph. The audiences
were witness to a night of wonderful
entertainment with magnificent
performances from budding young actors.
Over 50 staff and students collaborated
over many months to present this
production.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
Programme, with over 100 enrolments,
continues to provide opportunities for
boys. In particular, the programme
encourages boys to be more independent
and responsible, especially through the
hikes, while also including an element
of community service. This year Nathan
Watkins and Joshua Hurley attained a Gold
Medal in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
programme.
a commitment to justice. Boys have been
involved in numerous fundraising activities,
substantial immersion experiences, service
programmes, and have taken interest in
issues as diverse as refugees, workers
exploitation and conflicts around the globe.
The sporting life of the College continues
to thrive. The 1st V Basketball side won
the ISA premiership in a closely contested
final against St Pius X College. The 1st
XV Rugby Team successfully retained
the state-wide Waratah Shield for the
fifth time in six years and won the ISA
competition. The Track and Field Team
won the ISA Division 1 competition for the
first time, and the College came second
in the ISA Swimming Championships. Our
Rowing Programme continued to flourish
with the 1st IV crew gaining a credible
seventh place at the Australian titles in a
tight race. The 1st XI Cricket Team had a
thrilling victory to win the Manly Cup T20
competition, and our 1st XI Soccer Team
had a successful season, narrowly missing
a grand final berth in the Manly Warringah
competition. This year, five St Augustine’s
College students represented Australia in
their respective sports; fifteen represented
New South Wales, while many others have
competed in state championships and ISA.
Student leadership is vital to engendering
a spirit and character into a school. Ryan
Maguire carried the sound tradition of
captaincy of the College and has more
than lived up to the excellent leadership
given by College Captains over the years.
Ryan has been superbly supported by
Vice Captain, Tim Schofield and Head
Prefect, Tom Cleary, who have been highly
effective, yet humble and whose loyalty to
the College has been greatly appreciated
and admired. All served with great
distinction.
As to the Prefects, I congratulate them on
a job well done and thank them for their
dedication throughout the year. I am sure
the positive role modelling and memories
they have given to the boys in the younger
years will not be forgotten. Their lunch time
activities kept us entertained and amused,
while their regular visits to Tutor Groups
made them accessible role models to
younger students.
The vocation of teaching is integral to the
mission of the College and to the boys
achieving or exceeding their potential.
It is important that boys experience
teachers who have a passion for, and
proficiency in the subject that they teach.
The relationship between teachers and
students significantly affects the culture of
a school and influences the partnership
of learning. We are fortunate to have
generous and professional staff who give
so much of themselves in the care of the
boys.
In conclusion, may I express my sincere
thanks to College Principal, Tim Cleary, the
members of the College Leadership Team
and staff for their generous and much
valued contribution to the College and for
their loyal support throughout the year.
Matthew Hutchison
Head of School
The Outdoor Education Programme plays
a distinctive part in our Co-curricular
Programme. It provides opportunities
for boys in Years 8 to 10 to embark on
journeys where they learn to analyse
difficult circumstances, to appropriately
endure hardship without complaint and to
press on when the going gets tough. The
programme cultivates within the students
a sense of generosity and service in using
their gifts, an appreciation of community
and the environment, the value of
mateship, and the responsibilities of caring
for your fellow students under challenging
conditions.
A commitment to social justice is
integral to faith formation in the College.
Our service, immersion and outreach
programmes seek to sensitise us to the
needs of the world, by cultivating a spirit
of generosity, a heart of compassion, and
5
AUGUSTINIAN PRIOR PROVINCIAL
Augustinian colleges are noted for their community life. The
development of common care and concern is the core feature
of life cultivated by the College Board, Principal and faculty
and is then modelled by them. This modelling acts as the core
invitation that is extended to parents, students and friends of the
College so that they might also participate in the life of the greater
community.
St Augustine’s College has had to draw on that community spirit
each time members of the community or their families have faced
crises. As I thanked one of the members of staff for their care for
the Gray family she replied, “That’s just what we do”. This belief
in others, the call to love beyond our comfort zone, is highlighted
at times of crises, but comes from the core gifts of love we offer
daily to one another in family life and in mutual support.
St Augustine’s College builds community through pastoral care.
A community approach to learning is also imperative. Learning
is often seen as a task or obligation but what we would like to
develop in our boys is a love of learning, a love for learning. That
love must be more than requirement and less than obsession.
The purpose of learning in love is to be the best one can be
for others. The improvements in the curriculum and learning
areas of the College have come about through staff working
co-operatively, through parental advice being sought and heard,
through Old Boys networking with present students and from
senior students modelling good learning to younger students.
I believe that St Augustine’s builds community through its core
tasks of teaching and learning.
Excellence in the co-curricular aspects of College life is often
a manifestation of team building and support of common
ventures. The successes of the College in these areas are always
secondary to the growth in academic learning. But drama,
debating, rugby and basketball – to name just a few areas –
are all concomitant to the core task of a school, and build and
reinforce the values of mutuality, common purpose and friendship.
If the awards earned and accolades received are any indication,
St Augustine’s builds community in its artistic and sporting
programmes.

Great projects require important statements of values. Augustinian
education is about the development of the whole person within
the framework of the community. It is never simply about the
personal achievements of the individual student. Our society
values numbers as the core indication of success but nobody
ever succeeded by being able to say that they were at school with
someone who scored 99.9. Success in education occurs when a
young man or woman can face the world and say that they know
their strengths and their weaknesses and have sought to do their
best. It is great for a college when it can boast about its numbers.
It is more wonderful when the beauty of full potential is realised,
regardless of the statistic. St Augustine’s College cares about the
individual growth of your and our sons and their impact upon the
community as a greater good than the statistics they produce.
Great projects require great support. To provide the right
education for your sons in the future, we must provide the
environment and classroom facilities for that purpose. The
master plan accepted by the College Board which will begin
to be implemented next year has required years of work. The
achievement of the plan requires the next generation of families,
who are blessed by the gifts of current and previous families, to
work with the College in the financing of this future development.
This choice is a choice for community needs. We know from the
past, that the greater College community manifests its belief in the
community and builds community in such major projects.
This is my last such report as Provincial. Ordinarily I would have
finished my term in office next July, but recently I was elected as
Assistant General of the Order and will resign my present office
early in the new year to take on the new position in Rome. My
heartfelt thanks go to Tim Cleary and his staff over the years, for
their care of the Augustinian values. I have worked closely with
Dr Michael Armstrong, Fabian Dwyer and the many members of
the College Board, who have also sought to promote the values
of the College. Thanks to them and to the staff, students and
families who are all part of our wonderful extended Augustinian
community.
Fr Tony Banks OSA
Prior Provincial
COLLEGE BOARD
The Board remains responsible for
governance of the College Mission and
Vision, Strategic Planning and Review,
Policy, Finance and Risk Management
as well as support to the Principal and
the College Leadership Team. It works
collaboratively with the Principal to provide
quality stewardship aimed at offering the
best possible learning environment for the
students at St Augustine’s College.
Important governance contributions in
2013 by the College Board were in the
ongoing review of Mission and Vision
and in monitoring the implementation of
the Annual Plan prepared by the College
Executive. We receive high quality
presentations at our meetings during the
year from the Principal and the College
staff demonstrating this progress and the
College’s authenticity as a Catholic school
in the Augustinian tradition.
2013 was a special year as it marked the
175th anniversary of the Augustinians in
Australia. James Alipius Goold arrived in
Melbourne in 1838. Goold was appointed
Bishop of Melbourne in 1848 at
St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney and
worked tirelessly on formally establishing
the Australian Augustinian Province. The
Augustinians, along with the Sisters of
Charity, remain the longest continuing
Order in Australia. We celebrated this
important milestone at the Mass of the
Holy Spirit on February 22, 2013 at which
our Bishop David Walker (Bishop of Broken
Bay) attended and concelebrated with the
Augustinians.
During 2013, to support the future of the
College, the Board approved Stage 1 of
the Master Plan and subject to Council
approval, in late 2014 building works will
commence involving the Primary School,
Science Wing, canteen, and an additional
car park. Further stages of the Master
Plan will include a new administration
centre, expansion and refurbishment
of the Mendel, Augustine, Goold and
Tolentine buildings and an upgrade and
refurbishment of the St Mary MacKillop
Centre. This future will be supported by the
work of the College Foundation and the
ongoing generosity of our parents and Old
Boys.
with the College Executive to meet these
challenges through the close monitoring of
school fees.
I would particularly like to record my thanks
to Fr Tony Banks OSA for his support
as Prior Provincial as well as that of Tim
Cleary as Principal.
Fabian Dwyer
Chairman
As Board Chair, I would like to record my
thanks to every Board member for their
contributions throughout the year. Board
obligations are commonly juggled with
career and family commitments and I can
only thank them for their willingness to
do so and their gracious sharing of their
talents for the advancement of the College.
I would like to acknowledge Helen Hayes
and Ken Pritchard who both recently
stepped down from the Board. I thank
them both for their service and in particular
Ken, who worked tirelessly to strengthen
the governance and risk management
policies of the College.
Future funding challenges remain as we
enter an era of a new federal government.
There are no long-term funding guarantees
in place for private schools, and we
approach the next three to five years
with caution given these uncertainties.
The Board will continue to work closely

PARENTS & FRIENDS ASSOCIATION
The Parents and Friends Association (P&F)
is a voluntary organisation involved in a
wide range of College activities and is an
important link between the College and the
parent body.
• Class Parent and Year Level Rep
Morning Tea hosted by Tim Cleary,
who welcomed and thanked in
advance our volunteer parents for the
year
In recent years, the activities of the P&F
have increased and in 2013 we were
delighted to welcome the introduction
of Class Parents and Year Level
Representatives for the whole school.
Parents are important in developing the
spirit of communitas at the College - they
facilitate good communication, support
school initiatives, organise social activities
for parents and families and are involved
in P&F team work. Rosemary Cullen
volunteered to become the Class Parent
Co-ordinator and has worked assiduously
with College Family Liaison Officer, Sue
May, to enable the programme.
• P&F Father and Son Breakfast was
open to students of all Year Groups
at the College. Over 500 dads or
significant male figures and their sons
attended the popular outdoor BBQ,
using the opportunity to meet their
son’s teachers and peers in a casual
friendly environment. The women
volunteered so that the men could
spend as much time as possible with
the boys
Parents have easy access to teachers,
tutors and administrative staff throughout
the year, so P&F meetings are left free to
discuss the broader issues relating to the
College and the boys, planning of social
events, and sharing information regarding
current matters of interest.
Highlights of the year included:
• The P&F New Parents Morning Tea
held on the first day of school, offering
a warm welcome by the P&F and
College staff for new parents leaving
their son in the College’s care for the
first time
10
• serving drinks at the Foundation
Welcoming Cocktail Party at the
beginning of the year
• providing a BBQ and ice creams for
over 1000 visitors at the College Open
Day
• P&F Mother’s Day Morning Tea,
following an impressive and emotional
Mass
• presentation of a cake to the teachers
in October in recognition of World
Teachers Day. The P&F team always
enjoy the chance to say thanks to our
teachers, who give so much in the
way of commitment and energy to
guide our boys towards success in
their academic, spiritual, sporting, and
community journeys
• P&F Pink Breakfast on October 22.
Over 450 boys and their mothers (and
mother figures) attended, showing
their solidarity for families who have
been touched by breast cancer. Funds
raised were donated to the National
Breast Cancer Foundation. Men
volunteered to serve and cook on the
morning, allowing the women and
boys to spend as much time together
as possible.
Many parents have helped out the
Canteen and Uniform Shop all year, as
well as coaching and managing sporting
teams, participating in school excursions
and cultural pursuits including the Band
Committee, sports events and parent
committees or as HSC exam supervisors.
In keeping with the College’s aim of
developing positive adult influences for
the boys, we encouraged the involvement
of parents, Old Boys and past parents to
join us at our many College activities and
functions.
Our P&F Committee members this year
were: Craig Jackson (Vice President),
Sharon Porter (Treasurer) and Debbie Gyde
(Secretary). In addition, Gabrielle McKinnon
and Lisa Watt assisted with social function
planning. The P&F is also ably supported
by the College’s Administration Team, the
Principal and the Leadership Team. Thank
you to all for a great year.
Liliana O’Toole
P&F President
FAITH & MISSION
The Mission of a Catholic school is the call to Catholic
discipleship. As disciples of Jesus we are called to love one
another, to take up our cross daily, to be witness to the realisation
of the Kingdom of God, and to respond to Jesus in the midst of
the world and its concerns.
At St Augustine’s College we provide many opportunities for the
staff, students and wider community to respond to this call for
discipleship.
Throughout the year, we have had many occasions to share our
faith, both formally and informally - from the way we communicate
with each other on a daily basis, to the celebration of the
sacraments. Each Year Group has participated in the planning and
preparation of our College Masses or major liturgies, and I thank
each of the Student Formation Leaders for their work in this area.
I would also like to acknowledge the Music Faculty, led by Faith
Ling and Joe Montz, for their enthusiastic assistance at all College
liturgies, and also the students in the Liturgy Choir who have
generously shared their talents with our extended community.
In everyday life we find the need for constant renewal of our
commitment to our Catholic faith. Our relationship with Jesus
deepens as our life experience broadens and we come to
know ourselves and Jesus better. Saint Augustine told us, “Go
back to yourself, go back to your heart, go back to God”. At
St Augustine’s College, all staff and students participate in either
a reflection day or a retreat throughout the year, when we get to
step back from the busyness of life and spend some time with our
thoughts and our God.
Many thanks to the Augustinians who have shared so many of
our liturgical experiences with us this year, especially Fr Senan
Ward OSA and Br Saldie Resolado OSA. Thanks also to Moira
Howie for all her work throughout the year. Finally I thank all the
staff, students, parents and extended community who once again
enhanced our College Mission this year. As Augustine said in his
Confessions, “When many rejoice together, there is a richer joy in
each individual since they enkindle themselves and inflame one
another”.

SEA PROGRAMME
The logo for St Augustine’s College Social
Justice Programme is SEA - S stands
for Service, E for Education and A for
Awareness. The boat symbolises life’s
journey. These are the three components
that our students learn from in the SEA
Programme. Service - Jesus was the
model servant of leadership, washing his
disciples’ feet. Through serving those less
fortunate than us, we learn humility. It is
our aim through Education that students
are provided with opportunities to better
themselves as they learn about and
work with social justice issues. Through
Awareness of injustices in society, students
strive to help others and improve the world
they live in.
Saint Augustine was a great campaigner
against injustices in society. We, as a
College community make social justice an
important issue, and highlight awareness
with ongoing projects and fundraisers
throughout each school year. Boys in all
years are encouraged to join the Social
Justice Group. They meet each week and
come up with initiatives to help resolve a
variety of current social justice concerns.
Saint Augustine’s love of the Great
Commandment makes the preservation
of justice for all people a responsibility.
“Each of you expects to receive Christ
when you meet him in heaven. Take care of
Christ now as he lies by the roadside, take
care of Christ as he hungers, freezes, is
destitute and a stranger”. Saint Augustine
Sermon 61:12
Lenten Appeal
During Lent, students at the College raised
funds through many different activities such
as food, drink and game stalls. It was our
hope that each Tutor Group would raise
approximately $200. During this appeal the
College raised close to $12,000. We were
able to donate $7,000 to a very needy and
worthwhile cause - the TMMR Orphanage
in the Philippines. The remainder of the
funds was put towards implementing the
remaining three overseas projects planned
in 2013 – work in India, Cambodia and
Nepal.
Global Connections Gala Day
Global issues affect all of us in more ways
than often sometimes seems apparent.
There are numerous ways of getting
involved to create a better world. Acting
for justice is one way, which means
doing something about it. St Augustine’s
College and Catholic Mission Australia,
work together annually to open the school
to welcome newly arrived refugees and
migrants by forming friendships and getting
to know their journey. The sun was shining
on Sunday May 19 for our second annual
Global Connections Gala Day. More than
35 Sudanese refugees and 30 students
from the College, along with parents and
staff, attended the event at Dee Why
Beach. The community spent time playing
sports, talking with each other and sharing
a BBQ lunch. It was a very successful
day enjoyed by all. The College looks
forward to furthering the relationship with
this Sudanese community and continues
to work towards educating our students
about global issues.
Melanoma Institute Australia
Representatives from the Melanoma
Institute Australia, including ambassador
and St Augustine’s College Old Boy,
Hayden Quinn, (Class of 2004) and James
Economides, father of Michael (Class
of 2006) who sadly passed away from
melanoma in 2008, came to the College
to speak to Year 7 about the importance
of sun safety. Following this, the annual
March for a Cure was held at Manly Beach.
Many representatives from the College
community attended the event in support
of this worthwhile cause.
Year 10 Caritas Week - a week long
volunteering experience
An Augustinian education endeavours
to prepare students for an active life
commitment, seeking to form ‘men for
others’, who manifest a particular concern
for the poor. Faith that does justice is
integral to education at St Augustine’s
College. The Year 10 Caritas Week is one
practical attempt to give flesh to these high
ideals. In November 2013, the College
once again implemented the week long
Service Programme for Year 10 students.
The boys volunteered in over 35 different
organisations within the local community.
We received fantastic feedback – all of
the organisations commented on the
way the boys conducted themselves. It
is our hope that through participation in
the programme, the students believe they
have much to offer the wider community
and their positive contribution can make a
difference to individuals and to society, and
that they can learn from those whom they
serve.
The College hosted students from Malvern
Preparatory School in June this year.
Following this, five of our students - Max
Cleary, Ben Dawson, Alex Ingall, Lucas
Nicol and Harry Turner departed for their
eight week exchange to Glenstal Abbey,
Ireland and then either Malvern Preparatory
School in Philadelphia or St Rita of
Cascia High School in Chicago. In the
past, students have returned from these
exchanges with a tremendous sense of
accomplishment and a renewed ability to
develop independent opinions and make
informed decisions.
Overseas Immersion Programme
Through the SEA Programme, the
College aims to provide students with the
opportunity to be involved in a range of
social justice projects that, while allowing
the student to grow personally and learn
through such experiences, assists him to
make the world a better place for those
less fortunate than himself. St Augustine’s
College has supported many worthwhile
projects over the past six years including
TMMR Orphanage in the Philippines,
Who Will Village in Cambodia and the
Disabled Services Association in Nepal.
Due to the success of previous projects, a
number of immersions took place for Year
10 students in 2013. In the September
school holidays, seven staff members
and 16 students travelled to Nepal, where
they completed a trek of the Annapurna
Region and worked at Bhairabi School and
DSA. At the end of the academic year in
December, staff and students travelled to
India and Cambodia. Over approximately a
two week period, they had the opportunity
to be immersed in another culture and
walk alongside those less fortunate
than themselves. Through first hand
experiences the students were challenged
physically, emotionally and spiritually.

International Exchange Programme
In 2013, St Augustine’s College
again offered international exchange
opportunities for Year 10 students. The
opportunity to share community with a
family from another country is a wonderful
opportunity. By staying in a host family’s
home, sharing meals, exchanging views
and participating in daily activities, the
students learn far more about their way of
life than ever possible by reading a book or
travelling as a tourist.

Nepal Immersion
It is believed the letters that spell Nepal stand for “Never-ending
Peace and Love”. This was clearly evident for those lucky
enough to have travelled there with the 2013 SEA Programme.
Sixteen students along with seven staff visited the remote
Bhairabi School in the Ghorka region and the Disabled Services
Association School in Kathmandu during the Term 3 holiday
break to continue supporting these communities with building
projects. This was then followed by an unforgettable trekking
experience through the Annapurna Mountain Range.
The returning staff were met with glowing smiles and embraces
and within minutes even the newcomers were wrapped up
in the loving embrace of each community. The projects soon
commenced with the help from the local children. By the end
of our first week, our outcomes were achieved, having created
an amphitheatre and a new school playground. The boys
were proud of their efforts, leaving a legacy for years to come.
Farewells were harder than anyone could have imagined.
It was an honour to accompany these young men on such a
rewarding personal journey. For some it was clearly their first
taste of independence and they proved their mettle, time and
time again. In the face of illness, physical and mental fatigue
and never-ending rain, they marched on. For each student, the
personal growth that occurred during their time away is still
tangible and for those of us watching, it has provided an insight
into the caring and compassionate adults these young men will
become.
Namaste,

FOUNDATION
The St Augustine’s College Foundation was established to secure
strong financial support for the future so that the College can
continue to provide the best possible facilities and opportunities
for all students.
Establishment of the College Foundation
The College Board endorsed the establishment of the
St Augustine’s College Foundation in 2012 and steps were put
in place to create a Foundation to support the workings of the
College Master Plan 2020 Future’s Project and the future of the
College. In the initial stages of the formation of the Foundation,
current parents Dr Michael Armstrong, Ian Ritchie and Stephen
Gustafson, together with various members of the College staff,
methodically researched and developed plans for the Foundation
to become a reality. The College Foundation Committee, a
dedicated group of current parents and staff under the guidance
of Chairman Dr Michael Armstrong, was recruited to help bring
new ideas, enthusiasm and energy to explore ways to support a
shared vision. The Foundation was formally launched in early 2013
at the Foundation Welcome Cocktail Party, with former Principal,
John O’Brien, announced as Foundation Patron.
The role of the College Foundation is to engage the community
and its constituents through the implementation of a wide range
of fundraising and friendraising programmes, innovative and
structured Old Boy liaison, and community relations as well as
being a resource centre for various Foundation publications and
communications. All of these functions assist the College to
maintain, develop and deliver exceptional educational outcomes
and facilities.
The Foundation is keen to include other people who share the
College’s commitment to a future in Augustinian boys’ education
on the Northern Beaches. The Foundation invites community
members to become Foundation Companions. The Companions
will be essential in disseminating information about Foundation
activities and will be conspicuous at College and Foundation
events. It is anticipated that the Companions will be drawn from
Old Boys, past parents and teachers, current school community
members and others who share a passion for St Augustine’s
College.
prizes generously donated by the College community, and funds
raised were directed to support current educational initiatives at
the College.
Old Boy liaison and reunions
The Foundation hosted a Back to Saints reunion for Old Boys
when the College played St Stanislaus College in July. Old Boys
from various classes enjoyed a light lunch with much reminiscing
about days gone by, followed by an entertaining afternoon of
schoolboy rugby. The Foundation will make this an annual event.
Following the success of the inaugural Reunion of the Decades
held in 2012, which celebrated 50 years since our first students
graduated in 1962, the Foundation hosted this year’s Reunion
of the Decades in November. Old Boys from the Classes of ’63,
’73, ’83, ’93 and 2003, together with special guests, the first
graduating Class of 1962, gathered at the Manly Pacific Hotel,
where many stories of ‘the good old days’ were told.
During this first year, the Foundation has connected with many
Old Boys through social media forums such as Facebook and
LinkedIn to maintain and link alumni to the College.
St Augustine’s College has grown from humble beginnings of
65 students in 1956 to a current enrolment of 1,150 boys in
Years 5-12. The College continues to embrace quality boys’
education, Augustinian spirituality, social justice programmes,
diverse sporting and co-curricular activities and sophisticated
technology. The strong sense of welcome and community that
unites students, parents and dedicated staff is a unique feature of
the College.
The St Augustine’s College Foundation Team is delighted to
manage the important work of the Foundation.
Rod Loneragan
Head of College Foundation
Fundraising and friendraising
During the year, the Foundation embarked on its first Annual
Giving Appeal, providing Old Boys with an update on the College’s
progress and plans, together with the opportunity to support
their old school. Current parents also received an insight into the
exciting Master Plan 2020 Future’s Project. This project will see
the College embark on its most ambitious building programme in
its 57 year history. Stage 1 includes new state-of-the-art Science
learning spaces and a Primary School, a new canteen and
additional car parking.
During Term 3, all current Year 5 parents were invited to a dinner
with the Principal and senior staff to share the hopes, plans and
dreams for the future of the College. In addition, the Foundation
offered current Year 12 parents who finished at the College in
2013, the opportunity to make a legacy gift through a fun and
innovative ‘Virtual Winter Dinner’ Appeal.
The Foundation Spring Party was an exciting and enjoyable
fundraising event held in the Great Hall, International College
of Management Sydney (ICMS) at Manly, in October. It was a
fantastic night for over 250 parents and friends of the College who
were entertained by MC and Old Boy, Dr Andrew Rochford (Class
of 1997), Northern Beaches singer and performer, Samantha
Shaw, and the Old Boys Band in its inaugural public performance.
Guests were tempted by some outstanding auction and raffle

ACADEMIC LIFE
BYOT Programme
Amongst many significant developments in the Academic
Life of St Augustine’s College, comes the flagship and face of
future learning. The College is certainly preparing young people
for success in the 21st century and is proud to announce
the implementation of a Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT)
Programme for students commencing Year 7, 8 and 9 in 2014.
Why travel this path?
Today’s students have been called “digital natives”. Technology
is undeniably now an integral part of how they communicate,
collaborate, seek knowledge and process information. Integral
to the philosophy of the College is our ongoing commitment
to helping students and teachers maximise learning by taking
advantage of relevant technology. At the same time our role is
to assist students become prudent consumers of information,
improve their media and technology literacy, and maintain a safe
and ethical existence in the digital environment.
21st century curriculum has certain critical attributes. It is
interdisciplinary, project-based, and research-driven. It is
connected to the community - local, state, national and global.
Sometimes students are collaborating with people around the
world in various projects. The curriculum incorporates higher
order thinking skills, multiple intelligences and technology. Our
BYOT Programme will facilitate this development. The classroom
is expanding to include the greater community. Students are
expected to be more self-directed, and work both independently
and interdependently. The changing curriculum and pedagogy are
designed to challenge all students and provide for differentiation.
The curriculum is no longer textbook-driven, but can be thematic,
project-based and integrated. Skills and content are not taught
as an end in themselves, but students learn them through their
research and application in their projects. Textbooks, if they have
them, are just one of many resources. Knowledge should not just
be a memorisation of facts and figures, but constructed through
research and application, and connected to previous knowledge,
personal experience and interests. Even assessment is moving
from a simple regurgitation of memorised facts to a demonstration
of understanding.
The College anticipates the BYOT Programme will not only
provide students with access to expanded global resources and
content but also develop student ownership of learning and an
alternative approach to creative problem solving. The power of
student technology use does not lie in the device itself, rather
what the device helps the student do; it is a process of unlocking
creativity and critical thinking.

2012 Dux of the College - Thomas Matthews
Thomas addressed the College Assembly and spoke of the great
support he received from family, friends and dedicated teachers.
Thomas is studying for a Bachelor of Aeronautical Engineering
(Space) at the University of Sydney. Only 14 students across the
country were accepted into the course, which is widely regarded
as the most challenging course offered at the university. The
following is an extract of Thomas’ speech to the College at the
Award Winners Assembly in February this year.
I count my personal success as a result of several key factors. I
would like to thank the school for the fantastic opportunity that it
has provided for my personal growth and development. I would
like to commend my cohort for their tremendous efforts and
achievements throughout last year. We owe a large portion of our
success to the dedication and skills of our teachers.
It may sound overly simplistic, but making it successfully through
high school relies on working smarter with an understanding and
acceptance of how much work needs to be done each year. I
soon realised that the work I had been doing was not going to
be enough. I feel it’s only fair to warn you that as you approach
Year 11, the level of necessary study increases dramatically. I
found that each night I would do between one and three hours
of study across all of my subjects, depending on how close I was
to an exam. However, while preparation and studying hard is
important to achieve good marks, it is also important to maintain
a balance between work and relaxation in your life. Personally,
I spent some time at the beach and playing Xbox to take study
breaks, making the workload seem less overwhelming. For each
of my subjects during Year 11 and 12, I made study notes at the
end of every topic we studied. Throughout Year 12, I found that
my study notes became invaluable. Getting teacher feedback and
having study notes up to date was always handy when it came to
17
preparing for an assessment task or exam. Completing practice
exams is essential. Complete as many as you can as they prepare
you for the type of questions that can be asked, helping you to
understand and gain confidence in how to answer each type of
question. That knowledge can then be transposed to suit the
actual exam question on the day.
Now it may come as a surprise, but my least favourite subject was
English. Unfortunately, throughout school I had never put much
focus on it, however in the end I had to face the fact that the
HSC was not about which subjects you liked or disliked but about
getting the marks you need to get into your course. Remember,
every unit of study counts. Because of this, I did what I had to
do to get the highest score I needed. This included submitting
drafts to my lovely teacher Mrs Briggs and getting better English
students than me to edit and give input on my work. My main
piece of advice is that to fully understand a concept, you need to
be able to thoroughly explain it to someone else. Organising study
groups with friends and classmates gives you an opportunity to
share ideas. You will find that this tests your understanding of a
concept from a range of angles and interpretations, stretching
your way of thinking and improving your understanding of the
concept, which benefits the entire group. Study groups also allow
you to lighten the load a little and get more enjoyment out of
studying.
These efforts paid off. This year I start a Bachelor of Aeronautical
Engineering (Space) at Sydney University. This course will study
the design and control systems of aeroplanes that operate both
in the earth’s atmosphere and in space, so that when I finish I can
design and build my own.
So my sincere thanks to St Augustine’s, the talented teaching
staff and my fellow students that have all helped me with the
opportunity to grow and achieve my personal goals.

Dux, Class of 2012
NAPLAN 2013
The NAPLAN results for the College for 2013 have once again
been very pleasing with achievement being above or well above
the state average in all areas. Numeracy continues to be a
strength at the College, and results were above the state average
in all years tested, especially in the assessed area of Number
Patterns and Algebra. Year 9 Writing has shown a particularly high
rate of improvement since 2012.
Student growth data (like that displayed above) for each
domain of the NAPLAN tests allows us to track the progress of
individuals and groups and assess the improvement in their level
of achievement. This aspect of the NAPLAN analysis is used in
addition to the existing student tracking in the College, to identify
individuals who may be underperforming in their academic
studies. It is a valuable resource in assisting with monitoring of
individual progress as students move to Year 7 and Year 9.

A Culture of Thinking
How can we activate students’ thinking to build understanding
in the subject areas? How can we help students to think more
critically and creatively at the same time?
Teachers at the College have embraced the Harvard research
based framework called Visible Thinking. Visible Thinking is
a research-based approach that develops students’ thinking
dispositions and comprehension abilities while deepening
understanding of concepts studied. In the Harvard University
Project, Zero Cultures of Thinking Project, thinking routines are
used regularly to help make students’ thinking visible and as a tool
for deepening students’ understanding.
As the facilitator, I meet each fortnight with teachers to learn
and reflect on the ‘Thinking Routines’ and ‘Cultural Forces’.
Documenting students’ work and reflecting on it both with
colleagues and the students, make students more aware of
their thinking and feeds professional conversations that foster
collaboration among teachers.
The College has just had its first group of teachers complete
an online course ‘Making Thinking Visible” through Project Zero
Harvard. The team worked collaboratively as a group to discuss
readings and complete online assignments each week.

Study and time management skills in the Senior School
Expertise in study and time management skills has been found
to be central to success in the senior years of study. This year,
students in Years 10, 11 and 12 have had the opportunity to
gain operational and time management skills as well as study
techniques in a variety of forums. Guest lecturers and inhouse presenters have facilitated student understanding and
knowledge through small group workshops, year meetings and
one on one instruction. Small group workshops facilitated by
Elevate Education, were conducted at the commencement of
the academic year for all Senior School Year Groups. Year 10
had fun with dynamic reading and note taking techniques and
learnt about conceptual learning skills and the importance of
independent learning. For Year 11, the focus was on goal setting
and short term planning and prior to the Trial HSC Examinations,
Year 12 was immersed in effective examination and time
allocation techniques as well as several timely stress management
methods. Enhanced Learning’s inspirational speaker, Prue Salter,
ran a highly successful Year 11 Parent/Student evening, which
provided an exceptional opportunity for parents and their sons to
participate in guided discussions together on the implementation
of effective study skills for success in the busy Higher School
Certificate years. In August, Prue was back at St Augustine’s
presenting workshops for Years 10 and 12. Year 10, in preparation
for their future HSC studies, attended an excellent presentation
which focused on some of the organisational skills necessary
to manage increased study commitments. Year 12, with the
HSC Trials and examinations approaching, attended the highly
acclaimed HSC Countdown workshop, designed to support them
in their final preparation. Student feedback from this session has
ensured this new workshop is a must for 2014.
Students in the Senior School received a number of study aids
to assist their time management. Assessment summaries, study
planners and the introduction of the Assessment Alert App were
some of the organisational supports for students and parents.
Overall, it has been an eventful and informative year for Senior
School students, who have gained valuable insight and
understanding of the importance and benefits of improved study
strategies which are so necessary for student success in these
demanding years.
Tricia Briggs
Senior School Academic Advisor
Teachers of Year 12 classes were again exceptionally generous
with their time in leave periods, and we were able to run Study
Programmes in the April, July and September Holidays. The PreTrial Lecture Programme was also very successful and very much
appreciated by students.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
At St Augustine’s College, Religious Education complements the
Religious Dimension of the College as it is through knowledge
of God that faith develops. We do this through offering students
a diverse range of content and pedagogy, based on diocesan
programmes, the core content focusses on the five following
strands: God, Religion and Life; Church and Community; Prayer,
Liturgy and Sacraments; Morality and Justice; and Scripture and
Jesus. In Years 11 and 12, we diversify and offer students not
only a continued Diocesan Board Endorsed Programme with a
Catholic perspective (Catholic Studies), but two separate Board
of Studies courses - Studies of Religion 1 (SOR 1) and Studies of
Religion 2 (SOR 2). With all students studying Religious Education
at the College, and numbers continuing to rise in both Board
courses, we are now not only the largest faculty at the College,
we run the largest 2 unit elective line in Stage 6. In fact, over
the last few years, we have moved from a single SOR 2 class in
Stage 6, Years 11 and 12, to multiple classes in both years - we
currently have four Year 11 SOR 2 classes and will have at least
this many again for 2014. This reflects well, not only on our strong
academic focus, our excellent HSC results (last year we received
great results - seven Band 6 in SOR 1 and three in SOR 2), but
also our dedicated and professional team of teachers. It also
parallels current trends across NSW, where Studies of Religion
continues to be one of the fastest growing electives.
Our team for 2013 was comprised of the following staff members:
Stage 3 Primary Core teachers - Andrew Allmark, Liz Armenio,
John O’Brien, Tevita Halaifonua, James Kirkwood and Chris
Egger; Stage 4 - Paul Hull, Tim Holmes, Anita Harris, Kate
Donnellan, Caitlin Murray, Kylie Bowra and Deb Carroll; Stage
5 - David Gilbert, Greg Egan, Louise Nash, Tony O’Shea, Peter
Nolan and Anthony Bataille; and Stage 6 - Madeleine Conlon and
Margaret McElhone. I thank the RE Team and I know the boys
are also appreciative of their dedication. I would especially like to
thank Anthony Bataille and Deborah Carroll for stepping in when
staff members were absent during the year. We acknowledge the
dedication and commitment of Tony O’Shea and David Gilbert,
who have both been ill this year and have taken some leave. We
look forward to their full recovery.
In 2013, many members of our faculty have engaged in an
across curriculum learning incentive, A Culture of Thinking.
This has involved many hours of in-servicing and has been
the focus of many of our teacher observations this year. We
have been fortunate to be led in this activity by Kylie Bowra,
Middle School Academic Advisor, from our own RE Faculty,
who has enthusiastically shared her expertise with our team. In
addition, Andrew Allmark and I, along with a small group of other
colleagues from different faculties, have been fortunate to have
completed a Making Thinking Visible Harvard Online Graduate
School of Education Certificate Course in this same area. We look
forward to utilising all these new skills in our classes.
The College is very fortunate to have such a dedicated and
professional Religious Education Team that work so hard to offer
so much for our rapidly growing student population.

ENGLISH
2013 saw the launch of the Inaugural St Augustine’s College
Writers Retreat where 25 young writers gathered to be inspired
by famous authors and publishers. The students were privileged
by the presence of John Marsden and encouraged by Old Boy
Angus Dalton (Class of 2012).
Insecurity
Fear paralyses my mind and body,
Making me blind and unable to see,
The life I should live, but can’t because of
My darkest demon, insecurity.
I hide in the shade of a deep dark cave,
Away from myself, away from the light.
Darkness comes out and brings with it unease
But this personal demon, I will fight.
All’s not lost, confidence enables me,
To climb out from the cave and brave the day.
Giving no care to what people think,
Giving me newfound strength in what I say.
Believe in yourself to make your mind pure,
Freeing yourself from feeling insecure.
Anthony Donohoe
Year 9
I thought that I would start this year’s English report by sharing a
poem composed by Year 9 student, Anthony Donohoe. I wanted
to share it, not just because it shows great penmanship, but
because this is what I believe English is all about here, at
St Augustine’s College, Sydney. I believe that this year, we have
travelled a little further down the path of encouraging our students
to use the power of words and language to communicate
passionately, genuinely and most of all, effectively.
The 2013 academic year was a successful one for the English
Faculty. Our Class of 2012 performed creditably in the Higher
School Certificate examinations and some inspiring performances
were recorded. We took particular pride in the achievement of
RikI Scanlan, who achieved an E4 for his suite of poetry set in a
mental institution.
Year 7 students explored a range of texts from Roald Dahl’s Boy
to Tim Winton’s play Lockie Leonard Human Torpedo. They have
expressed their understanding of these texts through creative
writing, oral presentations and analytical responses. We have
built upon these skills, acquired and developed in Year 7, so that
when these young men reach senior English classes, they have
been exposed to and grounded in the skills which they require
to achieve their own personal best. Our desire is to equip our
students with the level of literacy and written expression which
they will need to broaden the possibilities for their world.
Students engaged positively with the texts set for study this year.
The usual success stories of Darren Shan’s Cirque De Freak and
Scott Monk appear to have been superseded by Anh Do’s The
Happiest Refugee and Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Year 10 students
were (once again) appalled by the naked ambition displayed by
Lady Macbeth. One student reflected that “If the women had’ve
left him alone, Macbeth would have been alright”. A perceptive
insight it seems...
There are changes afoot within the discipline of English. We
implemented a new programme this year, which meets the
parameters to be implemented next year prescribed by ACARA
and the Board of Studies. New introductions included a short
story unit in Year 9 and a close study of the documentary Bowling
for Columbine in Year 10. Both were met with enthusiasm by the
boys. We also began planning for the new prescriptions in 2015.
The idea of leaving ‘Belonging’ behind and entering into the new
Area of Study – Discovery, is a welcome change indeed.
Extension 2 Projects
English Extension Course 2 allows the students to compose
a major work, which can be creative or analytical, written or
performance based. This year we only had two students study
this course and they both wrote short stories.
Will Shaw based his work, “Here Under the Sun” (a reference
to the Book of Ecclesiastes), on his own experiences playing
grade cricket. He had found over time that there was a strong
undercurrent of racism that permeated many of the clubs and
used this opportunity to explore and expose its insidious effects
on generations of players. He wove the stories of several players,
younger and older, and their families into a story that captured
the tension and excitement of the last, and deciding, game of the
season.
Ryan Maguire has been an outstanding English student
throughout his time at the College, acting as artistic contributor
and editor for Creativitas for several years. His stylishly
sophisticated story, “Simple Complexities”, was set in Buenos
Aires. It revolved around the bombing that destroyed the AMIA
building in 1994, an attack that has formed part of the Argentinian
national consciousness just as the Bali bombing is part of ours.
He interwove a fictional love story around this factual event to
create a posthumanist perspective within his narrative.
Both students took an interest in the work of the other and
helped out by providing feedback or making suggestions on the
content and style of the other’s work. The spirit of co-operation
has always been part of the Extension 2 class and this was again
evident in our small class of 2013.
For several years, we have had a strong relationship with St Pius X,
Chatswood, whereby their Extension 2 teacher, Jemma Myors,
has sat on the panel for the viva voce task and also given the
students independent feedback on their penultimate draft. That
relationship continues and we were fortunate this year to have
Mr Alec Listo act in Ms Myors’ capacity.

An update from the Ostia staffroom
The English staffroom is a hectic and buzzing place, with
students at the door in search of answers, texts, assessments
and submitting work. As a consequence, there are always
developments to be reported.
There were further changes to the English Team in 2013, with the
appointment of Adam Evans, Luke Rawle and Claire Mulcahy,
who brought with them passion and enthusiasm for teaching the
boys as well as invigorating the staffroom banter. I also made
the decision at the end of this year to return to the classroom
next year, stepping away from the role of Faculty Co-ordinator
- English. It was a tough decision, as the past few years have
been some of the most professionally rewarding. However, I look
forward to continuing to challenge boys to be a little bit better
every day in my role in the classroom next year.
Once again, I would like to take the opportunity to recognise
the fantastic work of my colleagues in the English Faculty. Their
good natures, kind words, flexibility (and occasional chocolate
‘surprises’) are motivational and keep us all focused on the task at
hand - educating young men.

MATHEMATICS
The Mathematics Faculty welcomed the new academic year with
pleasing examination results from the Higher School Certificate
examinations. The results again reflected the improved standards
of Mathematics achieved by students at the College.
is very real in their life. It is anticipated that we will develop this
concept and introduce tasks like this for all Year Groups in the
future.
In 2012, 100% of our Extension 2 students received an E3 or E4
(notional Band 6), 72% of our Extension 1 students received an
E3 or E4 (notional Band 6) and 43% of our General Mathematics
students received a Band 5 or 6. Congratulations to the following
students for achieving a Band 6 or E4 in their respective subjects:
Matthew Clarke, Michael Edwards, Jason Fallow, Luke Gosling,
Joshua Hayes, Callum Horan, Callum Johnston, Si Hong Chen,
Si Liang Chen, Brian Dong Ye, Huw Smith, Daniel Yik Yat Li, Rory
O’Connor, Jeff Zhenyu Wang, and Daniel Sheng Nan Ge.
Faculty initiatives
The main initiatives within the Mathematics Faculty for 2013
included the promotion of the Active Inspire classroom lessons,
increased use of technology, but not at the expense of
irreplaceable quality standard classroom practices; promotion of
teacher excellence and teacher development; teacher to teacher
lesson observations; teaching staff continually updating their skills
through in-services and ongoing professional development; further
review and refinement of teaching programmes and an ongoing
response to the challenges of introducing the National Curriculum.
NAPLAN
The Naplan results for 2013 were released and it was very
pleasing to note that the growth rate of the vast majority of
students had increased. Numeracy continues to be a strength
within the school, with average scores well above the state
average in all year levels. Year 7 was also above the NSW AIS
averages and Year 9 ever so slightly below NSW AIS averages.
I would like to commend the efforts of the entire Mathematics
staff for their commitment to preparation, pedagogy, assessment
and reporting in 2013. They are a dedicated, inspiring group
of teachers who are not just committed to classroom teaching
but also to the Augustinian ethos of the College, through their
involvement in co-curricular pursuits, our SEA Programme and
general College life.
Mathematics Help
The Mathematics Faculty continues to provide a tutorial service to
any boy who needs remedial work on any topic. The tutorials have
been used to diagnose students and identify areas of weakness.
The sessions, in the Augustine Resource Centre (ARC) after
school, have become very popular with the boys and thanks to
Anna Harmer, Anna Hayes, Aleksi Kohonen, Tony O’Shea, Jacob
John and Carly Townsend for their continued efforts in this area.

Rich tasks into assessments
In 2013, a new Stage 6 General Mathematics course was
introduced. Mathematics is not a discipline which lends itself to
regular excursions beyond the classrooms. Certainly there are an
infinite number of applications of mathematics and mathematical
modelling to be found in most professions, trades and life
pursuits. This new course has enabled us to create a ‘rich’ task.
Year 11 boys were given a research assignment which involved
finding the cost of buying, insuring, registering and running a car.
Initially some of the boys were a little resistant to the nature of this
task as some do not like change. The results were excellent, with
many boys spending quality time, researching something that

SCIENCE
Stage 6 - Years 11 and 12
The academic year commenced with our best ever results in the
Higher School Certificate from our 2012 students. The results for
a combined Band 5 and 6 are as follows, with the percentages
in brackets indicating the state percentages: Biology 40.7%
(26.76%), Chemistry 58% (42%), Physics 44.0% (34.7%) and
Senior Science 33.3% (40.29 %). The Biology students did very
well, securing four Band 6 levels. Special thanks go to their
teachers Lee O’Brien and Sean McLean, for their excellent work
with students throughout the year.
We also continued our association with the STELR (Science
Technology Education Leveraging Relevance) Project. This is
a national initiative of the Australian Academy of Technological
Sciences and Engineering (ATSE). Its aims are to improve the level
of science literacy and understanding in the community, engage
students in science ideas, the way science operates and how
scientists work and improve the quality of science teaching in
the classroom. The students continued their investigations into
producing renewable energy forms and had an assessment task
based on the energy that can be produced by wind turbines.
Our students are receiving high quality education from their
dedicated Year 12 teachers. Students regularly have classes after
school, during holiday breaks as well as external lectures. This
year we continued with video conferences with the University of
New South Wales Biology Faculty. A senior lecturer addressed
the students on how they should prepare for the HSC Biology
examination combined with the correct approach to producing
responses that are clear, logical and correctly address the required
HSC terminology.
Year 8 students have enjoyed making body systems. In
Term 3, their assignment was to make a model of one of the
human body systems. Some very clever models were produced Rupert Canning’s model of the respiratory system was a highlight,
showing in a very detailed manner how gas exchange occurs and
the functioning of the lungs in the human body.
This year we changed a number of assessment tasks to provide
students with experiences in the real world.
Science plays an important part in all of our lives and knowledge
of its processes and applications can be experienced in many
different ways. In order to bring meaning to Newton’s laws of
motion and the effect of forces, the Science Faculty took the
Year 10 cohort to Luna Park for Physics is Fun. The excursion
provided a unique opportunity for the students to experience
science in action and understand that physics is part of our
everyday lives whether we realise it or not. They had a fantastic
time experiencing rides such as the Ranger, Rotor, and Tango
Train and of course, everyone’s favourite, the Dodgems and
relating their experience to concepts such as gravity, circular
motion, centripetal force and energy conversions. Science
definitely was the winner on the day.
Later in Term 3, students had the opportunity to study the disease
process when they produced a five minute video, taking the
doctor/patient roles as means of explaining this. The productions
proved to be lively, informative and highly entertaining. A special
thanks to Kyle Dooley for formulating this approach to studying
disease.
24
Year 7 had a different experience this year, venturing down to
Long Reef rock platform during Term 3. The students were able
to study both the biotic marine environment including the local
habitat’s small fish species, sea snails, kelp and birdlife and the
abiotic salinity levels, light intensity, pH and temperature. This
proved to be a very popular excursion, even though some of the
class groups were a little wet at the end of the day as a result of
having to wade through the incoming tide!
Science Week
This year, the Science Faculty made a special effort to engage the
students in science based experiences during Science Week. Lee
O’Brien provided the focus and inspiration for our Science Week
activities, organising competitions identifying famous Australian
scientists, providing students with the opportunity to make a chain
reaction video, covering the front of the school with a periodic
table, having a huge DNA model in the quadrangle outside the
Lecceto Arts Centre as well as bridge-building contests. Reuben
Meerman, the Surfing Scientist from the ABC Catalyst Science
programme, gave a lively presentation on the problems associated
with global warming. Year 8 and 9 students were fortunate
enough to witness the amazing properties of liquid nitrogen and
its effect on balloons and soft drink bottles during his lecture.
Our new Science teachers, Alex Rigg and Sharon Jones,
continued with their very popular Marine Expo. They
demonstrated dissections of squid and talked to students
regarding the importance of caring for the marine environment,
highlighted with a display of live fish and crabs. They even
persuaded one of our Year 12 Biology students to undertake a
dissection of a fish.
The Big Science Competition 2013
This year, our students from Years 7-10 competed in the Big
Science Competition This competition involved 45,576 students
from 585 schools. St Augustine’s College achieved the following
results:
• 19 High Distinctions (awarded to students with a score of
95-100%). Year 7: Connor Hopkins, Joshua McMenamin
and Cole Pittar. Year 8: Mark Bourke, Jack Campbell, Rupert
Canning, Jack Edwards, Finlay Harris, Julien Horrocks,
Bradley Jackson, Angus Simpson and Rhys Thompson.
Year 9: Dominic Scognamiglio, Jack McNaughton, Lachlan
Hodgins and Lachlan McLeod. Year 10: Matthew Armstrong,
Nicholas Chivers and Henry Turner
• 53 Distinctions (awarded to students with a score of 85-94%)
• 111 Credits (awarded to students with a score of 60 - 84%).
Science staff
My thanks are extended to Lee O’Brien, Science Faculty Assistant Co-ordinator, for his enthusiasm, drive and great energy
in organising our best Science Week ever. He is a young man with
vision and a capacity to inspire the students to enjoy Science and
be involved in this great subject.
We are very fortunate to have a number of committed and
enthusiastic teachers in the Science Faculty in Diane Egger,
Graham Bruce, Sean McLean, Kyle Dooley, Anita Harris, Alex
Rigg, Sharon Jones and Carolyn Drew, whose aim is to have
the boys enjoy Science and prepare them thoroughly for the
challenges of the Higher School Certificate. These teachers are
continually improving their skills through professional development
programmes and completing post graduate qualifications. Special
thanks to all our hard working staff, particularly Ron Asser, who
despite ever increasing demands on his time, still manages to
perform his duties with a dry sense of humour and the utmost
efficiency. The College is very fortunate to have a person of his
considerable talents.
It is always a great pleasure to work with teachers who have such
a great collegial spirit, sharing a common goal of providing the
boys with a challenging education in Science.

HSIE
The broad range of Human Society and its Environment (HSIE)
subjects allowed our students throughout 2013 to explore a
variety of relevant and contemporary issues that influence society.
The subject reports that follow, document some of the highlights
of 2013.
Year 10 students had a successful year exploring the Australian
legal system, e-commerce, Australian industries and employment
issues. This included an investigation into some of Australia’s
famous criminal and civil law cases and examining Australian
industries such as car manufacturing, mining and hospitality,
providing opportunities to develop legal and business analytical
skills.
Nicholas Gliddon
Business Studies
Year 11 students displayed their entrepreneurial skills by
developing hypothetical businesses. Some of the creative
proposals included Angus Mclean-Smith’s Steampunk coffee
repair business, Nicholas De Lorenzo’s Delo’s Delicious Delights
gourmet cafe and Adriaan Knaap’s Dutch Delights restaurant.
Year 12 saw the students building on the foundations of their
Preliminary year, by developing their understanding of business
functions and broadening their business knowledge by examining
several contemporary business case studies. Acclaimed Business
Studies textbook writer, Len Nixon, visited the College in 2013
and presented a thought provoking overview of the course.
Commerce
Year 9 had an exciting year, demonstrating their entrepreneurship
running school-based businesses and participating in the ASX
stock exchange simulation game.
Running a business gave all the boys the chance to encounter
some of the realities of the business world. In particular, Jordan
Burmeister, Jake Baynie, Harrison King and Matthew Helm
discovered that it was important to keep expenses low in order to
gain the greatest profit. “This taught us to think about how much
stock we should buy, have better awareness of pricing and look at
the costs of our resources.” Popular items sold included sausage
sizzles, cupcakes, muffins, spiders, brownies and pancakes.
All profits were donated to charities and fundraisers which
included the Duchenne Foundation, the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse
Foundation and the SEA Programme.
The ASX Game provided students with practical experience in
investing through purchasing and selling shares on the Australian
Securities Exchange. Starting with a $50,000 portfolio, students
were able to invest in a range of companies with some groups
making a significant profit. Students found that researching
company performance and forecasting future performance was
important when picking the right investments.
26
Economics
Economics is a social science that studies how individuals,
governments, firms and nations make choices on allocating
scarce resources to satisfy their unlimited wants. Students in the
Preliminary course focused on learning the foundational theories
that underpin economics, as well as engaging in the discussion of
contemporary issues and government policy responses.
The HSC Economics course builds upon the theoretical models
studied in Year 11 and students were encouraged to critically
evaluate government policies and make comment upon the
effectiveness of policy implementation. Students also attended
lectures from Leading Edge Economics which provided them
with contemporary supporting evidence to consolidate their prior
learning. The students also attended a workshop on examination
techniques, presented by well know textbook writer, Tim Riley,
who visited the College prior to the HSC trial examinations. We
wish all the boys well for the HSC and their future career paths.

Geography
This year, the study of Geography at St Augustine’s College
was diverse and wide-ranging, from the human landscapes
of urban places in Year 12 to the inner workings of the world’s
ecosystems in the study of rainforests and deserts in Year 7. A
range of students also participated in the Australian Geography
Competition with a high degree of success.
Year 7 were introduced to the whole idea of geography, both
human and natural aspects. They also learnt how to read
maps and interpret weather charts among a plethora of other
geographical skills. The highlight was their presentation on World
Heritage Sites. In this task, students designed and built a three
dimensional model and presented it to the class, explaining the
significance and features of their chosen site.
In Year 8 Geography, students took a more in-depth look at the
human world and its impact on all living things, including other
humans; from the technology that has driven the human race
headfirst into the 21st century, to the global inequalities that are
widespread throughout the world today. They also got out into
their local areas and discovered evidence that globalisation is
present in everyone’s lives, culminating in a visual display and oral
presentation to bring their research back to their fellow students.
Students also explored threatened habitats and the role of zoos,
with a trip to Taronga Zoo, which for many was the pinnacle of the
semester!
The Mandatory Geography Course in Years 9 and 10 explored a
number of areas right here in our own backyards. For Year 9, a
trip around Australia looking at different human development and
natural landscapes, catastrophic natural hazard events that have
affected the Australian population and the many diverse Australian
communities.
In Year 10, the geographical issues of urban growth and decline
and coastal management were the initial points of study. The
students went on an excursion to Dee Why and Long Reef
to explore the impact of humans on the coast and the unique
processes that take place to create the iconic landforms present.
The links Australia has with other countries around the world
was also investigated, with students researching and presenting
a link of their own choice in areas such as defence, aid, trade,
sport and migration. Year 10 Geography Elective this year has
led to students discovering many interesting observations about
the planet. Initially, students inquired into the rate of development
around the world and analysed the relationship between health,
education and income in less developed countries, such as Lagos
and Nigeria. In the next topic, students learnt all about chocolate!
From the history of chocolate to the impacts on the environment
and health of the nation, the production of chocolate was well
received by the students. This was especially so after visiting
a chocolate factory in inner Sydney, where they were able to
observe and taste how chocolate is made. Next on the agenda
was a transect covering Los Angeles to New York. This involved,
among other things, discovering the Grand Canyon, crime in
New York City and extreme religion in Topeka, Kansas. Finally,
students were able to work out why humans live where they do in
the world. A whole variety of factors were taken into consideration
and scenarios such as ‘what would happen if India had never
existed?’ were zealously debated.
In the Preliminary and HSC courses topics such as population,
political geography, cultural integration, urban places, viticulture
and ecosystems were studied this year. Year 11 put into practice
the field skills gained in the classroom, with an excursion to Bantry
Bay. They also identified aspects of cultural integration evident in
today’s society in the areas of fashion, music, food and the media,
when investigating the human aspects of geography. The HSC
class started their final year journey with an excursion to Sydney
city and specifically the suburb of Pyrmont, to see the rise and fall
and subsequent rise again of an urban location.
The Australian Geography Competition was conducted in the
latter part of Term 1, with 75,000 participants from 725 schools
across Australia. This year we had 144 students enter the
competition from Year 9. Students achieved some outstanding
results with the College receiving a total of 26 Credits, 15
Distinctions and 9 High Distinctions.
Society and Culture
Society and Culture returned this year as an elective subject
for Preliminary students after a four year hiatus. The students
completed several research projects on societies as diverse as
the Amish, the Aranda, and the Ainu as part of their investigations
into the how different societies solve the basic human issues.
An outstanding presentation on Japan by Reid Lankow, Callum
Travers, and Jack Bray was a mere precursor to their excursion
there the following month. The students also developed their
methodological skills by completing several sets of interviews with
older people and independent young adults about socialisation
factors in their lives.
Students are already talking about the possibilities for their
personal interest projects, which are the 5,000 word major works
for Society and Culture, for next year. They will complete these
while exploring case studies and theories about popular culture
and social inequality.
Chris Hardy
Legal Studies
The Courts are an integral part of the Australian legal system and
Year 11 students visited the Downing Centre Local and District
Courts to witness the adversarial nature of the legal system, then
used this research as the basis to evaluate the effectiveness of
the law. Lachlan Beattie and Bede Sajowtiz recounted some
fascinating cases and made insightful judgements on the
operation of the common law.
Year 12 examined criminal law, consumer law, world order and
human rights. The legal responses to contemporary human
rights violations were assessed with the work of Joshua Wigney
and William Berthelot demonstrating detailed and balanced
commentary.
All Legal Studies students were privileged to hear first hand, the
accounts of renowned criminal law barrister Peter Lavac, when
he visited the College. Peter entertained and informed the boys
with his insights and analysis of many of the cases he has been
involved with over his legal career, as both a prosecutor and
defence barrister.

LANGUAGES
The Languages Faculty has had a productive and energetic
scholastic year in 2013. As always I would like to thank faculty
members for their continuous passion, pedagogical vigour and
innovative ideas in their language speciality. It is because of these
factors that we are experiencing growth in elective classes at the
College.
This year we were able to provide two new and exciting resources
to all Chinese, Italian and Japanese students from Years 7 to 12.
We now have a Languages Room and a mobile Languages Lab.
Our Languages Room provides a physical space for teachers to
display visual aides of the target language, but more importantly,
student work. It allows us to have instantaneous accessibility to
all resources and fosters an environment of positive and quality
learning for our students. It’s a common space to celebrate and
learn much from. The mobile Languages Lab is a set of 25 mini
iPads dedicated solely to languages students. We are the only
faculty in the College to have this wonderful opportunity to offer
our students. The iPads allow all Languages students to practise
and perfect the four components found in all languages: reading,
writing, listening and speaking. Students can apply their acquired
skills within the target language in one or more of the language
components and receive instant feedback on their progress. I
would like to take this opportunity to thank Claudia Angelucci for
all of her efforts in preparing, managing and maintaining the iPads
in optimal condition for all teachers and students of Languages to
benefit.
Italian
We currently have Italian classes from Year 5 right through to
Year 12. 2013 marked a year of ‘firsts’ in elective Italian classes. It
was our first year to have a Year 9 class with healthy numbers - 22
students, which is pleasing and should prove to be exciting for
the future of Italian in the Senior School. I also had the opportunity
to teach the HSC extension course to William Shaw, who should
be commended for his dedication and application to the course.
I would like to wish my current Year 12 students the very best in
all of their HSC examinations. You were a pleasure to teach and
made every day more than entertaining. To my Year 11 class, get
ready for a quick, intense and very enjoyable HSC year of Italian.
Claudia Angelucci was the Year 9 and 10 (Stage 5) Italian teacher.
These students have been working exceptionally well through the
programme created and implemented by Claudia. Both cohorts
have laptops and therefore much technology (including the latest
Apple technology) has been implemented in classes to create
interesting and engaging lessons. I foresee exciting times ahead in
future years for Stage 6 Italian.
Franca Hardwick, Claudia Angelucci and I have had the privilege
to teach both Year 7 and Year 8 Italian classes this year. Our
annual Year 7 excursion to Norton Street was yet another
successful day, where students had the opportunity to explore
Leichhardt and eat delicious food. All went home very satisfied
with several goody bags full to share. Year 8 have continued
their learning journey with us this year and proved to be a group
of naturally gifted linguists. Both Year 7 and Year 8 have been a
pleasure to teach.
Franca Hardwick is our talented teacher of Italian in the Primary
School. I would like to thank Franca for her efforts and excellent
pedagogy in teaching these young men and invigorating their
interest in the Italian language.
boys, in preparation for their HSC. I would like to wish our current
Year 12 students of Chinese Background Speakers and Chinese
Continuers, all the best in their HSC examinations. Some advice
for Year 11 students of both courses: work hard all the way
through and the sky is your limit. I look forward to watching Ryan
Whittard (Year 11) blossom and develop his Chinese skills in the
extension course under the gentle guidance of Mark Hall.
Mark Hall teaches our domestic Chinese Programme for both Year
9 and Year 10. These students have excelled in their language
skills and this year we had an increase in student numbers for
Year 9 and it seems even more for 2014. I thank Mark for his
creative and holistic approach to teaching the language - the
students are thoroughly enjoying learning Chinese. One student,
Angus Gilbert, must be mentioned for his outstanding 3rd place
result in the Confucius Institute NSW High School Chinese
Speaking Competition. This resulted in an all expenses paid trip to
China.
Bing Zhang teaches the Year 10 International students. During
this course, students are equipped with techniques in preparation
for their future Stage 6 Chinese course. Bing is very precise in his
teaching methods and for that I thank him, as students benefitted
greatly from his experience.
Mark Hall and Bing Zhang teach Year 8 Chinese. Both colleagues
have collaborated well to develop an effective teaching
programme that has been received well by all students. Year 8
students have mastered the skills of tonal differentiation and
character recognition. Well done boys.
Mark, Bing and Vivian Cao teach our four Year 7 Chinese classes.
These students have enjoyed their first full year of learning one
target language as opposed to multiple languages in our Primary
School. They attended the annual excursion to Chinatown and as
always, had a fantastic day out experiencing Chinese culture.
Japanese
Japanese is taught in Years 10 to 12 by Yuko Taki. We wish
the current Year 12 Japanese students all the best in their HSC
examination. Yuko is a very experienced Japanese teacher;
she has achieved multiple Band 6 results with her students in
her teaching career. I thank Yuko for her engaging approach to
pedagogy and her consistently postive attitude.
This year, our students participated and performed outstandingly
in the Language Perfect Championships, receiving impressive
results. Students of Japanese also had the chance to attend
the first biennial Japanese Tour. All participants came back with
a concrete cultural context that facilitated the acquisition of the
target language. Using the language, experiencing the lifestyle,
eating food and seeing the contrast of the ancient monuments
and modern infrastructure, had a motivational impact on all of the
Japanese students. Thank you Yuko.
Looking ahead towards 2014
• Fourth biennial Study Tour to Italy
• Alex Milburn will be the first St Augustine’s College domestic
student to learn two languages simultaneously for his HSC.

Japan
Cultural
Study
Tour
During the June / July school holidays, ten students and staff
members, James Scholtens, Pam King and I, embarked on a
cultural study tour of Japan for 13 days. The adventure began in
Tokyo with visits to Tokyo Disneyland, Ginza, Harajuku, Shibuya
and the boys’ favourite, Akihabara Electric Town - a major
shopping area for electronics, computer and anime games. As
Akihabara was within walking distance of the hotel, by the end
of our stay in Tokyo the boys were very familiar with the town!
Then trips by super fast bullet trains to Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima
and Miyajima, gave the group a taste of traditional Japan.
In Kyoto we visited many UNESCO World Heritage Sites
including Ryoanji (rock garden), Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion) and
Kiyomizu-dera.
Visiting the Peace Memorial Museum and A-Bomb Dome in
Hiroshima were highlights. The boys were devastated to see
the history and damage of Hiroshima, but each of us reassured
that this will not occur again. A picturesque Great Gate and the
Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima also enchanted all of us.
We stayed at the Hiroshima International Language Centre,
which provided cultural experiences such as a tea ceremony,
origami art, calligraphy and of course language lessons. The
students visited Akifuchu High School in Hiroshima and received
a warm welcome from the students and teachers. They also
enjoyed the hospitality of a two-night homestay experience, with
each family taking incredible care of our boys. This visit was
very successful and everyone had fantastic experiences and
interaction with the Japanese students.
Our visit to Hiroshima ended with a night of fireworks. The boys
absolutely enjoyed one of Japan’s great summer events and
were completely satisfied with their 13 days journey in Japan.

HISTORY
History has enjoyed a remarkable resurgence at the College
throughout 2013. It was so pleasing to see that Senior Ancient
History, Senior Modern History and Extension History increased in
popularity this year. The enthusiasm and expertise of the History
Faculty staff have led to strong numbers in both Years 9 and 10
Elective History while our Mandatory History courses maintained a
lively atmosphere due to the array of challenging tasks.
History in all years came alive as Year 7 enjoyed learning about the
world of archaeology and exploring fascinating civilisations that
existed more than 5000 years ago. Did you know that flush toilets
were used back in Ancient Rome or that the Ancient Egyptians
treated infections with mouldy bread? ‘Mummies, Middens and
Mysteries’ along with the ‘Medieval World’ gave students the
opportunity to analyse archaeological and written sources and
learn how to use the evidence from these sources to support their
argument. Model making and the talented James Adams, kept
students entertained and informed about battle axes, longbows,
swords, maces, flails and the popular chain mail armour.
History students in Year 8 marched their way through the reign of
terror of the French Revolution and successfully opened Saints’
first museum exhibition of ‘Indigenous and Early Colonisation’
artefacts. Students in Years 9 and 10 learnt about the making of
our nation while crossing trenches and venturing into no man’s
land through their study of World War I and World War II. The
NAMBUS was in town for the Vietnam War and Year 9 made
their way to school early on a chilly Friday morning to begin their
day trip adventure to Bowral to experience Sir Donald Bradman’s
home town.
History and how we approach our teaching and learning were
addressed by the faculty this year. An example of a different
approach was to engage the boys in more hands-on activities and
to ask students to put themselves into the shoes of a historical
character to fully understand what life was like living in the past. A
reflection of the enthusiasm of the students for their subject can
be seen when you look at the work produced and displayed in the
classroom and when they stop you in the playground to say, “We
really enjoyed the last History task Miss”. The rooms in the A block
32
have certainly been overcrowded with students’ work creating a
wonderful working environment.
The efforts of a hard working, dedicated staff are producing the
outstanding results. My sincere thanks to Kirsty Begg, Tricia
Briggs, Campbell Butt, Madeleine Conlon, Glen Coulter, Greg
Egan, Franca Hardwick, Tim Holmes, Paul Hull, James Gordon,
Ellis Kinnaird, Claire Mulcahy, Louise Nash, Amanda Neilsen
and Danielle Stanway for their tireless efforts and support in
making History at the College a rewarding, challenging and most
importantly an enjoyable subject for our students. I can only
foresee continued growth in the subject with the advent of the
New Australian Curriculum being introduced into Year 7 and Year
9 in 2014 and into Year 8 and Year 10 in 2015.
Finally, I can remember sitting at my desk this time last year with
Dave McLean thinking ahead about my own challenges in taking
up the position as Head of Faculty in 2013 and now here I am
bidding my farewells to the College as I once again resume my
role with my family. I am delighted to be leaving the faculty in the
capable hands of Luke Rawle and wish him all the best as he
starts his adventure in his new leadership role as Faculty Coordinator - History in 2014. To all the students whom I have had
the pleasure of teaching over the last seven years, I wish you well
in your future studies and to my Ancient History classes - I will
continue to stand firmly on the facts that Hatshepsut was indeed
one of the greatest female rulers and that the Minoans were more
than just the ‘hippies of the ancient world’. I leave you with the
final words from Marcus Tullius Cicero who once said that, “To be
ignorant of the past is to remain a child”.

MUSIC
“Where words fail, music speaks.” Hans Christian Anderson
2013 has certainly been a busy and successful year for the
Music Faculty at the College. We have indeed experienced many
memorable musical moments.
Years 5 and 6 students have enjoyed learning to play the recorder,
attended symphony concerts presented by the Sydney Symphony
Orchestra and were treated to a performance of the Barber of
Seville by Oz Opera.
Many of these young students are involved in co-curricular music
and study an instrument at the College.
Year 7 students have been studying the elements of music and
musical instruments. They also attended a performance by
the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and participated in various
interactive activities.
Year 8 has studied rock music and music for film and media. They
have enjoyed the particular focus on Australian and Indigenous
aspects of these topics and were privileged to attend an
interactive performance by the Beatty Clan Crew.
Our Elective Music student numbers have increased this year
and students have been most productive in presenting soirees
throughout the year and attending rehearsals by the Sydney
Symphony Orchestra. The soiree performances have allowed
students to gain valuable experience in the essential and finer
points of performance as soloists and ensemble members.
They also provided students with ample opportunity to develop
confidence in performing, in readiness for the Higher School
Certificate performance requirements.
Year 9 students were pleased to support the Patron’s Day Mass
with the entire class accompanying the music instrumentally or
singing with the choir.
In 2012, our HSC Music students achieved outstanding results
with 100% of students achieving either a Band 6 or a Band 5 at
the examination. This is a testament to their hard work and the
valuable direction given by the Music Faculty.
Our Instrumental and Vocal Tuition Programme continues
to expand with the addition of percussion, bass and string
ensembles this year.
The Music Festival Week saw a record number of student
participants and entrants into the competition. There were
numerous outstanding performances throughout the week,
making the selection of award winners very difficult for the
adjudicators. Of particular note was the increase in competitors in
the Piano Competition and also the Vocal Competition. The week
once again provided a rewarding and positive musical experience
for all involved.
My sincere thanks is extended to all our instrumental and vocal
tutors, Chris Raggatt, Vanessa Patterson, Jay Barthow, Jason
Smith, Margi Coen, Gael Robinson, Adam Pecar, Ralph Pyle,
Michael Sparks and Dave Kemp for their excellent commitment to
our students.
The Music Faculty of Joseph Montz, Catharina Shepherd, Jennifer
Power and Lynne Papahatzis has continued to demonstrate
outstanding commitment to all aspects of the musical
development of our students. We work as a team and strive to
ensure quality teaching and learning in all areas of curricular music
and to assist each student in reaching his full musical potential.
I thank each one for their continued dedication and enthusiastic
approach.
Finally a heartfelt thanks is extended to all students and parents
involved in music at the College. Your enthusiasm and dedication
provides the College with many moments of musical excellence
and provides great encouragement and inspiration to all.
We look forward to the continued expansion of the Music Faculty
and the development of our very musically talented students with
great excitement and sense of positive expectation.

DRAMA
This has been another exciting and productive year for the Drama
Faculty with wonderful HSC results achieved by the 2012 cohort.
At the beginning of the year, we were fortunate to have Tate
Williams join the faculty, and we also gained an extra teaching
space to cope with the increased number of students studying
Drama.
Year 8 Drama
In 2012, Year 8 Drama had one class of 22 students; in 2013
there were three classes and over 60 boys. All Year 8 have
covered a broad spectrum of practical drama. In Term 1, the
students were introduced to improvisation and play building,
while also learning the foundations of acting techniques in voice,
body language, movement and the use of the space. In Term 2,
we studied Shakespeare’s Macbeth which also tied in nicely
with the English Curriculum. Many boys were able to create a
tangible mood on stage and deliver challenging lines, clearly and
meaningfully. Term 3 was very different, in that the students had
to rely on physical theatre, namely movement and mime. The
strongest groups found they could communicate meaning through
gestures and miming skills. In the last term, the boys prepared for
Year 9 by studying a scripted scene and exploring the techniques
of Stanislavski. All in all, a challenging and positive year.
Year 9 Drama
Year 9 was an enthusiastic and collegial group who began 2013
by studying improvisation and script writing, with each boy
producing a ten minute play. In Term 2, they explored comedy and
comedic techniques, focussing on Greek comedy and the play
Peace by Aristophanes. All the students threw themselves into
this style of theatre and produced some truly comedic moments.
Term 3 saw a jump in history as they left the Ancient Greeks
and explored epic theatre and the practitioner Bertolt Brecht. In
groups, they devised and created original, political drama based
on current issues ranging from asylum seekers to youth drinking.
Term 4 saw a return to naturalism as the boys rehearsed and
performed scenes from modern scripts.
Shakespeare’s Macbeth, which assisted their English studying of
the text. In Term 3, we went onto something completely different,
undertaking the challenge that is Artaud and the theatre of
cruelty. This was outside many of the boys’ comfort zones, but it
produced some incredible work. Term 4 saw an introduction to
HSC options as they performed their own monologues or paired
scripts, showcasing them at a Drama Presentation Evening in
November. Year 10 were taken to see The Laramie Project and
the incredible Waiting for Godot at the Sydney Opera House and
wrote reviews on both plays, starting to learn the requirements of
the HSC Preliminary Drama course.
Year 11 Drama
Year 11 have benefitted from being a small class this year and
they have worked hard to prepare for HSC Drama. We have
certainly laid the foundations for 2014 as the class were asked to
perform lengthy monologues in Term 1, and practise the group
performance in Term 2. During their last Preliminary term the
students studied absurdism and Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for
Godot, another useful tie in with the English Faculty. All Year 11
were involved in some way in the College production of Lord of
the Flies, some demonstrating leadership skills throughout the
process.
Many St Augustine’s boys are involved in the musical Thoroughly
Modern Millie, scheduled to be performed in Term 1 2014, and
within the College, Elective Drama continues to grow in numbers.
I feel fortunate to have shared my love for this subject with such
enthusiastic and talented students.
Gillian Towle
Faculty Co-ordinator - Drama
Year 10 Drama
Year 10 has been a talented group who wholly embraced all
the challenges that I have thrown their way. We began the year
with naturalism with the practitioner Stanislavski, and the boys
performed in ten minute Australian plays showing a diverse
range of skills and real professionalism. In Term 2, we explored

PDHPE
Physical Activity and Sport Studies (PASS)
The Year 9 and 10 PASS students were put through their paces
with a five week program of crossfit in Term 3.
What is crossfit?
Crossfit is a core-strength and conditioning programme designed
to work your body as it was intended - as a complete unit. The
workouts consist of large, functional and multi-joint movements
such as pushing, pulling, squatting, lifting, throwing and jumping,
which are performed at high intensity. The goal is to create the
quintessential athlete - equal part gymnast, weightlifter, sprinter,
rower and 800m runner. They do this by focusing on ten key
fitness domains: cardiovascular endurance, stamina, strength,
flexibility, power, speed, agility balance and co-ordination.
The Year 9 and 10 PASS students also participated in a five week
programme of taekwondo in Term 3.
What is taekwondo?
Taekwondo is a modern martial art, characterised by its fast, high
and spinning kicks. There are multiple interpretations of the name
taekwondo. It is often translated as ‘the way of hand and foot’.
Put this together and taekwondo means: ‘the art of kicking and
punching’ or ‘the art of unarmed combat’. The sport was founded
in Korea and is one of the most popular modern martial arts. The
benefits of taekwondo for our students are outlined below:
• obtain mental health
• become self-sufficient.
HSC - PDHPE Class of 2013
Our HSC students have prepared well this year again and they are
looking forward to their final exams. The results the boys received
in the Trial HSC examination were encouraging, and we would like
to wish them all the best of luck with the HSC and beyond. The
interest in the course is again very good for 2014 with two classes
in Year 11 PDHPE.
Thank you to the PDHPE teachers in 2013: Chris Gray, Garry
Simmons, Daniel Fee, Adam Gray, Emma Donnellan, James
Scholtens, Mitchell Cooper, David Riddington and Tim Holmes.
Mark Bakon
Faculty Co-ordinator - PDHPE
• enhances self-esteem by heightening your physical and
mental powers
• builds confidence by encouraging you to succeed and to take
control of your life
• develops discipline by thoroughly training your body and mind
in the tenets and techniques of taekwondo
• teaches self-defence by training you to recognise situations in
which physical self-defence may be necessary, and teaching
you how to control such situations to your advantage
• strengthens your mind and body through increased physical
co-ordination and mental discipline.
Sport, Lifestyle and Recreation (SLR)
The Year 11 SLR students participated in a programme of jujitsu.
What is jujitsu?
Jujitsu is a highly practical and effective art of self-defence. It can
be classified as the art of defence without weapons against an
attacker or group of attackers who may be armed or unarmed.
The practicality of jujitsu is reflected in the various techniques that
are used which blend into a highly disciplined approach to this art
of self-defence. The benefits of jujitsu for our students include the
following:
• maintains physical fitness and exercise
• become self-disciplined
• throw an attacker
• fall and not get hurt
• overcome an attacker by using various wrist, arm and leg
locks
• defend yourself against more than one attacker
• defend yourself against an armed attacker

TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING
2013 has seen the introduction of a new faculty area - Technology
and Engineering. This specialised faculty area has been developed
to ensure that the computer-based technology subjects and
engineering subjects being taught at St Augustine’s College are
taught and administered in a holistic manner. This is to ensure
continuity is created from Stage 5 in Years 9 and 10 into Stage 6
in Years 11 and 12.
For Information Processes and Technology, the Preliminary course
arms students with the skills to complete their HSC course. After
learning what an information system is, the students pick apart,
piece by piece, an information system by creating their own basic
knowledge base. They use this in the HSC course to create
information systems that solve problems using industry standard,
specialised software such as Access, MS Project and MS Visio.
It has been an incredibly busy year as the faculty settles
into new facilities and the students get to experience many
more technologies. Year 9 students in Industrial Technology Engineering commenced the year studying structures. The first
challenge was to protect a fresh egg from being dropped onto
concrete. Some great results were achieved with the highest
point reached before breakage being set at 2.9 metres. They
followed this up with a wooden tower and then spent Semester
2 designing and creating various mechanisms using gears, cams
and other simple machines.
It has been an exciting first year for the faculty, but it would
not have been possible without the dedication of the teachers
involved. I would like to thank Caitlin Murray, Thomas Jubb and
Phillip Nicotra, for without them, the great work produced by the
students would not have been possible.
Lloyd Manning
Teacher in Charge - Technology & Engineering
Students in Year 10 Industrial Technology - Engineering have
had the experience of studying control systems by developing
their own LEGO Mindstorm NXT robots to accomplish the skills
carried out during a game of soccer. This meant many hours of
building, testing and modifying their projects. In Semester 2, the
students examined alternative energy. They were given the task
of developing a balloon-powered vehicle using recycled materials
where possible, with the goal being to go as long and as straight
as possible.
Stage 5 Information and Software Technology students have
studied digital media by designing a multimedia campaign using
software such as Photoshop, Flash and Moviemaker. This was
a great introduction into website design and development as
they were able to use skills from one unit into another. Next, the
Year 9 cohort developed robotic systems to solve a problem. This
involved not only designing the programme to run the robot, but
also building the robot. This unit then developed into the study of
software design and development.
In Year 10, students commenced their course by designing and
developing a personal database management system. From this
they then examined the concept of artificial intelligence and how or if, it can truly be achieved. They used Excel to create a personal
model that assisted in solving specific ‘what if’ questions. The
students then had the enjoyable task of developing a multimedia
project of their own design.
In Year 11 Engineering Studies, the study of basic engineering
fundamentals and engineered products took most of the first
two terms. It was then that the students more specifically looked
at braking systems, from a simple block of timber held against
the spinning wooden wheel on a carriage to the ceramic disc
systems found on Formula One cars. The Preliminary course
concluded with the study of biomedical engineering. This included
instruments used for operations and the materials they are
constructed from, to the implants used to help broken bones heal.
Our Year 12 students in Engineering Studies have studied four
modules this year. In civil structures, the students studied bridges,
towers and other structures found in the community. An excursion
examining four of the main bridges in Sydney was organised to
see ‘up close’ how these structures are constructed. The unit on
personal and public transport allowed the students to examine
everyday transport items and systems. This could be anything
from the car they drive to a truck, a train, or even a Razor scooter!
Their year culminated in studying aeronautical engineering and
telecommunications engineering and all their complexities.

LEARNING SUPPORT & ENRICHMENT
I would like to start this year’s report by paying tribute to one of
our most respected and well-loved team members, Danny Hasler.
In the years that he worked in Learning Support, Danny was a
great inspiration to us and we are all proud to say that he was our
friend. He is deeply missed. Danny joined the Learning Support
Faculty in 2005, bringing many years of experience and expertise
which he used most effectively in helping develop the skills
and confidence of so many students. Despite the great health
challenges he faced, Danny was always positive and tireless in his
efforts to ensure that his students were supported and challenged
to build upon their skills.
from the beginning’. Tricia worked with students in Years 7 and
8 where they engaged in different text types to aid in extending
their literacy and writing skills. Tate worked with Year 10 students
to help extend their English concepts and Glen helped selected
students improve their skills by extending their study of key people
and events that were significant to that time.
Mary Anne Brickwood
Learning Support and Enrichment Co-ordinator
Many of us can look back and reflect on the special teacher who
made a difference in our lives and Danny Hasler was one of those
teachers to so many students.
Together with Michael Ravenscroft, Sue Gostelow and Graham
Bruce, the Learning Support and Enrichment Team continued
to help staff with curriculum differentiation to support student
diversity. Where needed, our teachers assisted classroom
teachers with making adjustments to tasks to make them more
accessible to students, including those following Life Skills
Outcomes. Amanda Cantarella, who started with us in 2012 in a
part-time capacity, is now a much valued permanent member. We
were also very grateful to be joined by Joanne Elliott who stepped
in to help Danny’s students and who consistently went beyond
her assigned tasks to find ways to help students in need. A variety
of formal literacy and numeracy support classes, in-class support
and Learning Enrichment classes and activities was offered to
students at all year levels according to need.
Our Year 8 Cross Curricula Development (8CCD) students enjoyed
a great excursion for our Space theme in Term 3. The boys
focused on the Apollo 11 Moon Mission and space exploration, so
we travelled to the IMAX Theatre to see Hubble 3D then walked
to the Powerhouse Museum to explore the Space Exhibition. This
was followed by lunch in Chinatown, in keeping with our Term 2
theme of Australian Multiculturalism and Refugees.
Management of the Disability Provisions for Examinations
expanded considerably in 2013 with 16 students applying for
Provisions for the Higher School Certificate examinations. In
addition to the HSC, many students from Years 7 to 11 also
had Disability Provisions for their exams and I wish to thank Sue
Gostelow for all her work and support in this area. I also wish
to thank Kyle Dooley in the Curriculum Office for his work with
Disability Provisions as well as our generous parent volunteers
who helped as readers and scribes for HSC students where
needed. This was of great assistance to those students.
In the Learning Enrichment Programme, co-ordinated by
Graham Bruce, students were challenged and extended in both
the Language Arts and Science. Through Graham’s passion
and expertise in Gifted Education, our students were provided
with exciting initiatives and challenging activities. The boys in
the LE Programme in Years 5-10 competed in the ScienceIQ
Competition and those in Years 7-10 also competed in the Da
Vinci Competition. They all participated in exciting and challenging
game based activities including code breaking, robotics, 3rd
World Farmer and others.
Language Arts Programmes were offered by selected teachers in
English and History. Tate Williams, Tricia Briggs and John O’Brien
helped extend students in Years 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 in English
and Glen Coulter worked with Year 8 boys in History Extension.
John conducted short story writing classes with Years 5 and 6
students who were taught ‘how to grab the readers’ attention

SENIOR SCHOOL
This report provides a wonderful opportunity to reflect upon
the many successes in the Senior School and to ponder on
the challenges ahead. I believe it is a most exciting time to be
part of the Senior School at St Augustine’s College. This year, I
have regularly challenged students to, “Do the ordinary things
extraordinarily well”.
In 2013, I was impressed with student conduct and the general
presentation of our students. Students were courteous, polite and
obliging in their daily interactions. The standard of uniform and
grooming is high at St Augustine’s College. Students have been
working hard to always meet the challenges set to them in this
area.
This year, the Senior School provided a vast array of activities
connected to Mission. This included significant formation events
such as the Year 10 Reflection Day, the Year 11 Retreat and the
Year 12 Retreat. Each Year Group had a specific and appropriate
theme. Additionally, students regularly prayed, attended Masses
and explored faith based conversation in Year Group assemblies
and Dean of School assemblies during the year. These activities
strengthened the bond of the College, home and parish in
supporting Catholic values and Augustinian traditions with our
boys.
I wish to thank the College Mission Advisor, Margaret McElhone,
the College Chaplain, Fr Senan Ward OSA, Pastoral Assistant
Br Saldie Resolado, and the Mission Assistant, Moira Howie, for
their enthusiastic and committed work.
I wish to acknowledge and thank the Student Formation Leaders
in the Senior School - Kirsty Begg, Daniel Fee, Daniel Bradford
and Glen Coulter. The College is most fortunate to have a fine
group of professionals taking responsibility for the formation
of students under their care. The work and dedication that the
Student Formation Leaders have demonstrated this year have
been impressive. I also thank the Senior School Academic
Advisor, Tricia Briggs, for her outstanding efforts in 2013. Her
work in designing and co-ordinating major academic enabling
programmes such as Year Group specific study skills sessions,
holiday study sessions as well as pre and post trial HSC
workshops, has provided a significant catalyst for student learning
improvement. Additionally, she has continued to collaborate
with me concerning the analysis and use of academic data and
assisting students with constructing study plans.
I would like to congratulate our boys for their most enthusiastic
involvement in representative sport and co-curricular activities. It
is a credit to students that a number of them went on to higher
honours in their relevant fields. These students were capably
supported by many staff members and parents during the year. I
wish to sincerely thank them for their efforts in ensuring that each
boy was nurtured appropriately.
The involvement of parents and friends in the College is always
highly valued and appreciated. In the Senior School, we are
fortunate to have parents who are keen to be engaged and work
in collaboration with the College staff. As such, I wish to thank
the numerous Senior School parents who have supported the
College by volunteering their time for College activities, canteen
and uniform shop duties as well as supporting the general
expectations of the College.
Tutors play a pivotal role with ensuring the effective daily
administration and pastoral care of the students in the Senior
School. I thank each tutor for their genuine care and proactivity
with students. The Senior School has benefited from tremendous
office support staff. In particular, I wish to acknowledge my
Executive Secretary, Marcela Lyall, for her energy, humour
and impeccable work in supporting me with the administrative
operation of the Senior School. I also thank my previous EA,
Caroline Zalai, who left the College earlier this year.
During 2013, much collaboration occurred with various College
offices concerning matters connected to the Senior School. I wish
to acknowledge and thank the efforts of many staff members in
the Executive Office, Academic Life Office, Student Services Office
and the Sport and Co-Curricular Office.
Finally, I thank the College Principal, Tim Cleary, and Head of
School, Matthew Hutchison, who have provided the Senior
School with immeasurable support throughout the year.

YEAR 12
Year 12 Graduation Dinner: excerpts from Year 12 Student
Formation Leader’s address
John Donne wrote, “No man is an island, entire of itself, every
man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main”. The challenge
for Year 12 has been to embrace the essential message of these
words, become a band of brothers and truly build a sense of
belonging – cue groans from all the boys! I strongly believe that
the Year 12 group have developed a collective identity as the
Class of 2013, which has evolved through their (dare I use another
Area of Study reference?) ‘journey’ with us.
I have witnessed their shared journey throughout the year. I have
watched how they help one another in the ARC or Cameron
House each afternoon. They read and edited each other’s
work, shared notes and helped each other with Maths, which
often sounded like a foreign language to me! They have been
so generous with their time and it is great to see how each has
encouraged the other through what can be a stressful part of their
lives. The Class of 2013 have cared for each other in all ways, not
just academically; they have been true mates to each other. This
year has had some good times but also some very sad times and
it has been humbling to witness their love for each other.
They have achieved much throughout this year. Josh Hurley
has been an outstanding Captain of Music, who, along with
James Slack-Smith and Nathan Watkins, has been involved in
numerous ensembles. Josh and Nathan also both received their
Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award and Nathan was awarded the
Queen’s Scouts Award – only 52 scouts receive this award in
NSW – it was presented to Nathan by the Governor of NSW at
Government House. Harrison Blake and Sam Barrett have also
been very dedicated, running the Guitar Ensemble for the last
two years. Josh Tyler’s commitment to College liturgy has also
been exceptional. This morning’s recital of “Duelling Drums” by
Henry Tebbutt and Dylan Chant was brilliant. Sam’s rendition of
“Classical Gas” was excellent, as was Josh’s performance of “Fast
Car”.
It is no surprise after watching Will Berthelot in action at the Staff
v Student debate that he was a Warringah representative at the
NSW Youth Parliament.
Ben McLean is an elite kayaker and Fabian Natoli has been
playing first grade for the Marlins this year. Mitch Harmer
and Jackson Pola-Smith are both part of the North Eastern
Australian Football League and played in the U18s and in their
42
premier division team. Charlie Taylor was selected for Australian
Schoolboys Rugby League and James Parker was selected
for NSW. Jed Ibbotson and Mathew Arnold are Australian
Touch Football representatives and Grant McDonald is a NSW
representative.
The Captain of Basketball, Dan Pitcher, led the 1st V to victory
in the ISA competition. He was selected for the Nike Basketball
Camp in China as well as the U19 Australian squad. Jordan
Papandrea has represented Australia in gymnastics. Lachie
Edwards cycles as part of the National Road series and Nick
Harris and Fletcher Davies have both represented NSW in
swimming. Fletcher also went to Hawaii last year where he
competed in Molokai Paddleboard World Championships, coming
second in the U29 division. Sam Hole was Captain of Cricket
and of the 1st XI, who won the Manly Cup. Tom McGain was the
Senior Cross Country Champion. Max Cook captained the 1st XV
to victory in the Waratah Shield and the thing that stood out for
me, the hallmark of their play, was their unstinting support for one
another in every phase of the game. In 2011 they were joined by students from China, who
courageously travelled to another country and culture to complete
their secondary schooling. These young men those who were
already part of the cohort and they have become a part of
St Augustine’s. Stefan Shen travelled to Cambodia last year as
part of the Sea Programme. Stefan, along with Jack Sheng, Tyler
Yeung and Hunter He, organised the College Karaoke Competition
this year. Tyler’s culinary skills are exceptional and he often bakes
for the boys.
The Major Works this year were diverse and of a high standard.
Luke Bonanno’s hall table, Austin Osagie’s art deco side table,
Grant McDonald’s tribal chair, Dylan Chant’s TV unit and Hamish
Ferguson’s coffee table displayed real craftsmanship. Luke
Harrison’s display cupboard is like stepping back in time. Scott
Williams was thinking of others with his DT project of a pepper
grinder for those with arthritis. Will Lentell‘s Surf Life Saving tower
for Curl Curl showed his love of the surf. Adam Donabauer’s
drawings were beautiful, highly detailed and incorporated surreal
elements. Kris Carton decided to represent HSC angst and
Michael Smith and Alex Eagleton’s digital media were most
impressive.
Will Shaw’s Extension History project on The Iliad and Nathan
Watkins’s on Gothic Architecture were both excellent.
I wish that I had the time to mention every one of these fine young
men because they have been such a special group. They are
very popular with the staff and younger members of the school
community. This is because they have embodied the ethos of the
College. They have strived to follow the words of Saint Augustine,
“Before all else dear friends, live together in harmony and be of
one in mind and heart on the way to God”.
The Prefects and House Captains have been outstanding this
year. Particular thanks to College Captain, Ryan Maguire, for his
inspiring leadership not only to Year 12 but the whole College
community; Vice Captain, Tim Schofield, for his dedication to
the College and willingness to contribute and Head Prefect, Tom
Cleary, for his commitment and sense of school spirit.
This year has been an amazing experience for me and I feel that
I have been truly blessed to have been given the responsibility of
guiding such a wonderful group of young men. We should be
grateful for the gifts of these graduates. Their contributions have
enriched us and we have become a more diverse community
because of them. I reflect on how much they have matured in their
years here at St Augustine’s College. Their Tutors have been so
impressed by how much they have grown this year and developed
into young men who we are certain, will carry out our Augustinian
ethos as they move out into the wider world. It has been a
privilege to be your Year 12 Student Formation Leader. I cannot
thank you enough for your support, commitment and friendship.
I am extremely proud of all of you. Good luck in the HSC and may
life share its many blessings with you and may its burdens be ever
light.
Kirsty Begg
Year 12 Student Formation Leader
Speech given by College Captain at the Year 12 Graduation
Assembly
I remember my very first day at St Augustine’s College - day 1,
Term 1 of Year 7, 2008. It was a pretty cold day for late January.
The sky was clear, my tie wasn’t elastic like the younger years, my
new shoes were so shiny I could see myself in them ... and I had
never felt so terrified in all my life.
I only had one friend from Primary School join me in this
new world, so I was pretty keen to stick with him for the day.
Eventually, however, the inevitable happened. He was a much
better athlete than me, and as we were playing tip I soon lost him
in the maze and minefield that is the College oval at lunchtime. So,
like a young Emile Hirsch in Into the Wild, I wandered, searching
for meaning, answers and a group of friends I could hang with. I
wanted to belong.
I found a group of boys in my year sitting in the quadrangle, and
slowly but surely worked my way into the circle. Most of them had
been at Saints since Year 5, but they accepted me into their group
without any hesitation whatsoever. I would come to learn over
the next six years that this is what St Augustine’s is all about, and
what makes it such a great place to go to school. To this day, I’m
proud to call the guys in that group some of my very best friends.
out as much as you put in, and the returns on 100% are pretty
spectacular.
Of course, none of that would be possible without the tireless
dedication of our teachers. Trust me, the teachers do get friendlier
as you move towards Year 12 and you come to realise that they all
have only your best interests at heart. Along with all my teachers, I
would especially like to thank my Tutor Group teachers, Mrs Welch
and Mrs Carlino. Together you have made starting every day just
that little bit easier, and I cannot thank you enough for that.
Finally, as you travel through St Augustine’s College, you will face
many difficult and challenging questions. Some of these questions
will perplex and puzzle you, and some will force you to grow up
pretty fast.
Where should our group’s ‘spot’ be in the playground?
Why is the Old School so far away?
Which corresponding group of Stella Maris girls should our group
hang out with?
And why-o-why is every English text set for study not made into a
movie?
Some complex stuff, no doubt. But through it all, and especially as
you draw closer to the end of your schooling years, you should be
asking yourself one important question:
What kind of legacy do I want to leave behind?
That same question was posed to this Year 12 back in Term 4
last year. As a group, we chose the theme of ‘Brotherhood’ as
a foundation on which we could build our legacy. And I’d like
to think we were men not just of word but men of action. We
set up ‘buddy’ initiatives between Year 12 students and some
of the younger students; we gave out ‘Brotherhood’ awards for
outstanding commitment to the cause; and we set up activities
ranging from cricket to karaoke. As always there was room for
improvement, but on the whole we played our part.
I challenge all of you to ask yourselves that same question of
legacy. It doesn’t have to be something huge, it doesn’t have to
be something that everyone will see - but you should always strive
to leave this great College in a better state than that in which you
found it. Indeed, it was legendary singer Cat Stevens who said,
“The greatest legacy is that which benefits the widest number of
people for the longest period without limit to value”.
It has been an absolute privilege to serve as College Captain
for 2013, and on behalf of Year 12, I would like to thank each
and every one of you and wish you the best of luck in your life’s
endeavours.
Ryan Maguire
College Captain
Graduation is a day that every school-goer dreams about. Walking
up on stage to shake the Principal’s hand and receive your
certificate. But to some, it can seem like an age away - especially
to the younger students. Like the boys in Year 7, the Graduating
Class of 2018 - you have about 1,000 days of school left, roughly
6,000 hours to go!
But can I promise you, it will go in a flash. All of a sudden you’ll
be making subject selections for your senior years, or getting your
first run-on with the 1st XV.
Spend the time wisely by getting involved in as many cocurricular activities as you can and giving it your all. You only get

YEAR 11
I had the pleasure of working alongside a fantastic group of Year
10 students on the Cambodia SEA Programme in December
2012, and was very much looking forward to working with this
particular cohort. They have lived up to my expectations, and
are a very cohesive group, who have developed a strong bond
between each other over their time at St Augustine’s College. It
is testament to the boys that their Student Formation Leader of
three years, Dan Bradford, was very reluctant to pass them on to
me! I thank Dan for all his hard work with the boys previously, and
I too share the same feelings as they move into Year 12 under
the guidance of Kirsty Begg as they complete their final year of
schooling.
It is evident that this particular Year 11 group is extremely
talented and committed to their co-curricular activities. I have
been extremely impressed with the artistic, dramatic and musical
talents of so many of the boys. The time and effort dedicated
to the Lord of the Flies production was particularly impressive,
both on stage and behind the scenes. The choir has gone from
strength to strength thanks to a large proportion of Year 11 boys,
and the St Augustine’s Music Festival also featured many Year
11 students. In the sporting arena, we proudly have Australian
rugby representatives, NSW representatives in football, rugby,
rugby league, cricket, basketball, tennis, sailing, surfing and surf
life-saving, as well as many talented students representing the
College in the ISA and local sporting competitions.
I would like to thank the many boys who have volunteered their
time to participate in and help facilitate College events throughout
the year such as Masses, College Assemblies, Primary and
Secondary Swimming and Athletics Carnivals, Walkathon, P & F
Father and Son Breakfast, College Dances, Year 12 Graduation
Day, Reflection Days, Year 5 Parent Dinners and many more. Year
11 students have also volunteered at the Matthew Talbot Hostel
as well as participating in local and national charity fundraising.
Other events included the inaugural Mother and Son Golf Day,
run by the Year 11 Parent Committee, which provided a lovely
opportunity for the boys to spend some quality time with their
mums.
There have been some extremely pleasing academic results
throughout the year, and I am particularly proud of the students
who have made a significant improvement in their attitude towards
their studies from Year 10 and as the year progressed. I do
believe that many of the boys will need to increase their efforts
next year both at school, and in particular at home, if they are to
achieve results in the HSC of which they can be really proud. It is
also imperative that all students have some clear goals to work
towards for the end of their HSC; having a vision of what they
want to do after they leave St Augustine’s will help them develop
the discipline required to succeed in their studies.
I believe the boys set a wonderful example to the younger
students with their conduct around the College and their
interactions with each other. They have acted as mentors to the
Primary School students through the very successful Primary
Reading Programme, where Year 11 boys read with Year 5 boys
one morning a week and help them develop their literacy skills as
well as providing the younger students with a positive role model
from the senior years. A number of boys have also demonstrated
their strong leadership skills as coaches of junior sports teams,
restorative practice leaders, bus monitors and as leaders on the
Year 5 and 6 Reflection Days. There are many students in this
cohort who would make wonderful prefects, but unfortunately
only a finite number of boys can be selected in these positions. I
sincerely hope that all Year 11 boys recognise their responsibility
to lead, whether they have a leadership title or not, and that each
and every one of them has tremendous potential to be a fantastic
leader at the College.
I have truly enjoyed working with this wonderful group of young
men. I am sure that they will go on to make the College and
their families proud as they enter their last year at St Augustine’s
College. I wish them well in their future endeavours, and if they
remember only one thing from our Year 11 Assemblies, then I
hope it is the ‘Man in the Glass’.
Daniel Fee
2013 has been a particularly challenging one for many of our Year
11 boys. Domestic issues, health concerns and losing close family
members has been incredibly difficult for them and their families,
and I am inspired by the way these young men have dealt with
their personal circumstances and shown such resilience. I would
like to thank Diane Lowe, College Psychologist, and Sue May,
Family Liaison Officer, for their ongoing support of many of the
students and their families. It is also obvious that the boys really
care about each other, through the support shown to one another
in times of difficulty and sadness.

YEAR 10
‘Better than Before’ was the theme set for Year 10, 2013. It was
a challenge that the cohort embraced and one that they can look
back on with a sense of achievement.
Group ran a professional and engaging programme and I would
like to thank the boys and teachers who attended for their
contribution to the week.
The challenges for boys as they enter into the Senior School can
be wide and varied and it was certainly evident to the students
that they were heading into something markedly different in terms
of their schooling. In order to assist with this, the boys were
extremely fortunate to have many expert presenters throughout
the year, most notably Paul Dillon, who is a nationally renowned
drug and alcohol educator, Michael Jeh, who presented on
skills for life and Prue Salter, whose knowledge and enthusiasm
towards study skills were extremely valuable to all who attended.
As the boys head into Year 11, and with some also departing the
College, I would like to take this opportunity to commend them on
their growth this year. I would also like to wish all of them the best
as they continue on their journey through the Senior School years.
Some of the strands that make up the fabric of Year 10 at
St Augustine’s College are the opportunities presented to students
in terms of overseas immersions and social justice programmes.
During the year we were able to send students to Ireland, United
States, Cambodia, Nepal and India. These trips always enlighten
the boys to the issues of equity and more importantly, allow them
to forge friendships and relationships that will last for many years.
I would like to congratulate all boys who attended these trips. All
of the students in Year 10 were also required to participate in a
variety of activities during our Service Week organised by Kate
Donnellan, Social Justice (SEA Programme) Co-ordinator. Again
this proved to be an extremely worthwhile experience.
As always, the ‘whole is more than the sum of the parts’ and
the Year 10 Tutors have been an engaged and committed group
of teachers, always willing to do that bit extra. Mark Bakon,
Catharina Shepherd, Adam Craven, Jennifer Power, Nicholas
Gliddon, Sharon Jones, Kyle Dooley, Gillian Towle, Campbell Butt
and Graham Bruce have been a superb source of guidance and
support to the boys and I would sincerely like to thank them all.
I would also like to thank Frank Chiment, Dean of Senior School
and Tricia Briggs, Senior School Academic Advisor, for the
generous time they gave to the students.
I eagerly look forward to seeing and hearing of the achievements
of these students in the future and I wish them all of God’s
blessings as they continue on their journey.
Daniel Bradford
Saint Augustine, in his book The Confessions wrote, “The happy
life is this - to rejoice to thee, in thee, and for thee”. Part of the
growth and development of boys is the ability to reflect and
be mindful of both self and others. We welcomed Chris Doyle,
from Karis Ministries, who led two days of reflection which were
extremely valuable for the students, who are to be congratulated
for their superb participation.
To further strengthen this reflective ability and to provide another
challenge, students embarked on the Outdoor Education Camp
held in Belanglo State Forest. As always, the Outdoor Education

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT PROGRAMME
As Lao Tzu once wrote, “A journey of a thousand miles must
begin with one step”.
The International students at St Augustine’s College have made
that first step into a new culture, a new language and a new life.
This first step is a brave one; studying and living in a new culture,
away from friends and family is a real challenge.
The 2013 Year 12 group has been fabulous, especially the
leadership of the International Prefects, Tyler Yeung, Hunter He,
Jack Sheng and Stefan Shen. They have been excellent role
models for all boys, both academically and socially. They represent
the international experience and benefits of an international
education.
There have been some outstanding results from the group this
year. Charlie Wang and Haobo Chang received gold awards for
the worldwide Japanese Language Perfect Competition. Charlie
has also maintained his very high standards in the Japanese
Beginners course. Hunter He and Stefan Shen have demonstrated
their expertise in Extension 1 and Extension 2 Mathematics with
near perfect results, while Watson Ying has shown his talents in
the Chinese Background Speakers course.
For the first time, International students participated in a whole
day first aid and water safety course at Dee Why beach. This
presented the boys with an opportunity to learn about the surf and
it gave them a platform to show off their water skills in the pool.
During Term 4, the Year 10 students participated in a week-long
camp, learning how to cook, set up tents and read maps, while
the Year 11 students headed to Canberra for a cultural and
leadership tour. They were both rewarding trips for the boys.
By the end of the year, the International students have taken many
steps in their new life in Australia. St Augustine’s College has
helped them find that path in which to walk.
Lastly, I would to thank Vivian Cao, International Student
Programme Executive Officer, for all of her help and motivation
with the students.
Glen Coulter
International Student Formation Leader
Some of the significant events celebrated in 2013 have been
Chinese New Year, Year 12 Camp, the whole school Karaoke
Competition, visits to Matthew Talbot Hostel, the Chinese
Speaking Club twice a week and the Japanese Cultural Study
Tour during Term 2 holidays. And of course, many of the
International students also represented the College in basketball.

MIDDLE SCHOOL
2013 has been another exciting and very rewarding year for the
Middle School. Our overall numbers continue to be healthy with
an additional class in both Years 7 and 8 and the projection for
future years continues in this strong fashion. A large part of my
year has been involved in completing a leadership course with
the Association of Independent Schools, where the importance
of ‘distributed leadership’ or ‘shared leadership’ has been
highlighted. This does not simply mean utilising the skills and
energy of other teachers but also means providing a voice to the
student body on opinions and the decision making processes. To
this end, this year on a number of occasions I have engaged our
Middle School Student Leaders and sought advice and feedback
on a number of future initiatives. Gaining a student perspective
has been invaluable and extremely beneficial; the students, giving
up their lunch every second week, have significantly helped shape
initiatives and processes this year. I thank the following boys for
their positive involvement during the year. Year 8: James Barton,
Rupert Canning, Tyson Head, Noah Lieberman, Luke Perrignon,
Marvin Smith, Lawson Green. Year 9: Sebastian Candido, Jude
Ekanayake, Jacob Hall, Kurt Ingram, Daron Kalloghlian, Harrison
Pietor, Jamie Postle, Liam Taylor and Ben Wigney.
One of our overarching goals for the Middle School is to
ensure that the students have a strong sense of belonging and
knowledge that they are loved and valued. This goal would be
unattainable if not for the tireless efforts of our Student Formation
Leaders. These fine leaders, along with their respective Tutors,
strive to know the boys well, through daily interaction and other
seemingly small actions, such as reviewing semester reports and
setting goals for subsequent semesters, as well as attending
less formal, more personal experiences such as Reflection Days
and Year Group Camps. In partnership with parents, these key
pastoral carers have helped shape the lives of so many young
men, particularly in times of trouble. I would like to thank our
Student Formation Leaders: Emma Donnellan, assisted by Andres
Trujillo (Year 7), James Gordon (Year 8) and Mark Downey (Year 9)
for their support, wonderful care and academic leadership during
2013.
School Academic Advisor, Kylie Bowra, and I thank her for her
efforts. Kylie brings enthusiasm and a keen desire to help the boys
by employing closely monitored strategies and ideas, as well as
overseeing programmes such as the study skills sessions with
ELEVATE and the Years 7 and 8 Study Skills Evening.
Our Outdoor Education Programme and Year 9 Unitas
Programme continued to thrive in 2013. With regard to Unitas,
the new topic areas of Yoga/Meditation and Television Production
run by NIDA were a great success. I would like to acknowledge
all staff (both College staff and outside employees) for their
commitment and willingness in both our Outdoor Education
Programme and Unitas. Next year will see further development
in the Unitas Programme with additional activities. This should
be seen as a good step especially when considering that my
presentation on this programme at a national conference earlier
this year was so positively received.
2013 also saw the relocation of the Deans to the Student Services
Centre. This meant working closely with Diane Lowe, College
Psychologist, and Sue May, Family Liaison Officer. I would like
to thank both Diane and Sue for their genuine care for all within
our community and passionate commitment and assistance
throughout the year. We farewelled Caroline Zalai, Executive
Assistant, during the year, who left to explore new opportunities.
Marcela Lyall took the reins mid-year and has proved to be
extremely efficient and welcoming. I thank both Caroline and
Marcela for their work in an environment that can be often
dynamic and hectic.
As the end of the year approaches, I wish all our Middle School
families a blessed Christmas and a safe summer break. It is an
absolute privilege to work in partnership with parents and staff
on the education of so many fine young men; a privilege I look
forward to again in 2014.
Peter Nolan
Dean of Middle School
We are now so well informed regarding your son’s academic
journey. Our data can track subject performance as well as
attitude and aptitude. This is all well and good, although if we do
not effectively follow up with concerning trends and worthy efforts,
this data becomes worthless. A lot of this task falls to our Middle

YEAR 9
Year 9 students spent the final week of Term 1 in the Kangaroo
Valley, hiking, canoeing, abseiling and generally learning the skills
to be able to fend for themselves in the Australian bush. Along the
way, they learned to be a co-operative member of a group, how
to look after their friends when they are struggling and how to take
responsibility for the sustenance of a group of people.
The weather for the week was perfect, and while much of the
hiking was arduous, most of the Year Group was able to fully
engage in the activities and really enjoy the experience. For once,
any complaints about the quality of the food fell on deaf ears, as
each member of the group took the challenge to prepare edible
and nutritious food.
Early in Term 4, guest speaker Brent Saunders, spoke of his
experience, initially as a policeman and later as an educator,
involving the shattered lives of the many people he had come
across as the result of a momentary lapse in judgement, most
commonly by young men. His two hour presentation held the
group spellbound, as he related stories of otherwise good
people, who had made poor decisions that had lasting effects
on a large number of people and irrevocably changed the course
of their lives. He stressed the importance and accompanying
responsibilities of mateship and how friends can influence each
other in positive ways. The following questions from the group
indicated that the talk had been well received and provided plenty
of food for thought.
During Term 3, the Year 9 Reflection Days were held at Camp
Kedron. Chris Doyle, facilitator for the days, was able to engage
all of the boys into his activities, provoking a great deal of thought
and some wonderful, insightful responses to the many questions
raised. Many of the boys were able to demonstrate the huge
amount of musical talent within the cohort. The themes explored
included authentic ‘brotherhood’ and dove-tailed beautifully into
those set by the senior student leaders for the year. This also
provided a relevant focus for the Patron’s Day Mass, which was
organised by Year 9 and featured many of the boys from the
elective Music class singing and playing music, as well as the Year
9 student leaders, who read the epistles and prayers.
Thank you to all the Tutors: Carly Townsend, Anna Harmer, Deva
Prasad, Alex Rigg, Adam Evans, Robyn Larbalestier, Mitchell
Cooper, Jo Gray, Claire Mulcahy and Chris Gray for their care,
commitment and good humour with the boys throughout the
year. Thanks also to Peter Nolan, Dean of Middle School, and
Kylie Bowra, Middle School Academic Advisor, for their unstinting
monitoring and support of those in need. In almost every way
the year can be considered an unqualified success for the great
majority of boys. They have been challenged and grown hugely
as a result. I am sure that next year, as members of the Senior
School, they will continue this growth and become successful
leaders of our community.
The Unitas Progamme instigated in 2012, whereby all of Year
9 head out for a variety of activities each fortnight, continued
successfully. A few new courses, notably Yoga/Meditation and
Television Production, were introduced and proved to be very
popular. Overall, the Unitas activities provided a real highlight in
the timetable and gave all of the students a great taste of a wide
range of experiences; learning the finer points of fencing from an
international representative, stretching themselves at yoga with
Catharina Shepherd, firing their engines at mechanics, spicing up
their life at cooking, cleaning up at community service and tidying
up at grooming and etiquette.

YEAR 8
From the classroom to the sporting field, 2013 saw an
outstanding Year 8 group take on the year with enthusiasm and
commitment.
Setting the pace for the year, Year 8 Camp was the first challenge
faced by staff and students alike. Held at Biloela, this was an
introduction to the Outdoor Education Programmme that will
be further developed in Years 9 and 10. The students took
full advantage of the diverse and exciting outdoor education
and adventure facilities available and participated in a range
of activities including water sports, navigation exercises, rope
courses, camping, team building challenges and environmental
education. Designed to challenge the students and encourage
teamwork, it was inspiring to see the boys work together to solve,
resolve and overcome the challenges they faced. This spirit of
enthusiasm and co-operation was carried through to the nightly
cooking and camp setup, where the boys bonded over shared
stories and sweets.
Reflection Day was another event that brought out the best in
the students. Held at the Treacy Centre at Oxford Falls, it was a
spiritual experience for all involved. The focus theme was Heroes,
and the day was an opportunity to think about the concept and
what it meant to each student. When the floor was open to the
boys they were able to share the stories of their own personal
heroes, not just celebrities or rock stars, but the friends and family
in their everyday lives that make a difference and inspire them. The
stories shared taught us all a valuable lesson in humility, sacrifice,
love and understanding.
Academically the students exhibited both hard work and focus.
They made an enormous effort with their studies and achieved
many personal bests and outstanding results. With the support
of the Middle School Academic Advisor, Kylie Bowra, the boys
focused on organisation and used afternoon sessions in the
College library for additional assistance and motivation.
66
The students competed to the best of their abilities in all their
co-curricular and sporting activities. Win or lose, they showed
passion and courage by always giving it their best and playing
with heart and sportsmanship. Year 8 also demonstrated musical
ability, with many boys performing on stage at assemblies and
Year Group meetings.
Special thanks must go to the all the Year 8 Tutors. Their tireless
work and guidance has assisted in helping the boys mature into
young men. Along with the students, I would like to thank Sean
McLean, Lee O’Brien, Thomas Jubb, Garry Simmons, Andrew
Strunk, Michael Ravenscroft, Emma Polk, Ellis Kinnaird and Aleksi
Kohonen. I appreciate your efforts in making it such a successful
year.
A successful year can only be achieved with the support of the
whole school community and I would like to thank the parents
and families of all the students. I would especially like to thank
Peter Nolan, Dean of the Middle School, Diane Lowe, our College
Psychologist, and Sue May, the Family Liaison Officer, for their
continuous leadership, direction and management.
Finally I would like to thank the students of Year 8. I have no
doubt that they will take on their final year of Middle School with
the same spirit, kindness, understanding and determination that
they have demonstrated this year. I can’t wait to see what they
accomplish in the coming years.

YEAR 7
2013 was an exciting and challenging year for the Year 7
students, as we welcomed the largest intake of students into Year
7 in the history of the College. This year in my role as their Student
Formation Leader, I have had the pleasure of seeing the boys
grow together on the beginning of their journey at St Augustine’s
College.
After a few nervous days settling into the College, the year
commenced with our introductory camp to Deer Park in The
Royal National Park. The aim of the camp was to give students
the opportunity to attempt new and exciting challenges, interact
with their peers and teachers, and participate in a variety of fun
activities that encouraged teamwork and a sense of adventure.
The boys embraced this opportunity whole-heartedly and it was
during this time that they began to form friendships that will stay
with them for the rest of their lives. The camp was thoroughly
enjoyed by both the students and staff who attended, and was a
fantastic way to commence the year.
This year in Year 7 there were eight core classes, which
contributed to the transition into the Middle School being a
seamless one for the boys. The small class groups, along with
our team of Year 7 Tutors and assistants, allowed the boys to feel
comfortable, supported and cared for in a constant structured
environment. The Tutor teachers and assistants for 2013 were:
Luke Rawle and Danielle Stanway (7.1), Franca Hardwick and
Philippa Sherwood (7.2), James Scholtens and Mary Smith (7.3),
Anita Harris and Tracey Boyadji (7.4), Caitlin Murray and Beth
Milne (7.5), Paul Hull and Amanda Cantarella (7.6), Penny Tsagaris
and Sue Gostelow (7.7), Tim Holmes and Cheryl Howell (7.8).
This team of teaching and non-teaching staff has epitomised the
qualities of the Augustinian spirit and has been an asset to both
myself and the boys.
2013 has proven to be a busy year for the students in all aspects
of school life, first and foremost in the academic field. Year 7 can
be a daunting time for students as the workload of homework
and assignments increases and students need to manage their
time more effectively. This group however, adopted a mature and
studious approach to their studies and was rewarded with some
outstanding results.
In conjunction with the everyday happenings of school life, Year
7 were involved in many special events including the Swimming
Carnival, the Athletics Carnival, the Chinese excursion to
Chinatown, the Italian excursion to Leichhardt, the Science
excursion to Long Reef and the Reflection Day which was held
at Camp Kedron, as well as their Picnic Day to celebrate the
year. The boys enjoyed all of these special events and always
represented the College with pride.
The exuberance and competitive nature of the Year 7 students
was showcased during the year throughout the Tutor Group
Challenge where students competed as a Tutor Group against
other groups in a variety of sporting challenges. These activities
not only encouraged the mateship among the boys, but also
created fun and engaging break-time experiences.
The College Merit System was a popular one among the boys,
encouraging a high standard of work, excellent behaviour and a
sense of pride in the group. Multiple silver and bronze certificates
were presented at assemblies each week and all students should
be proud of the efforts and contributions this year. The Atollo
Award was also presented to a Year 7 student each week, for
contributing to the life of the College. There were some very
deserving recipients this year and I congratulate them on their
service to the community.
Finally, I would like to thank everyone involved in the wellbeing
of Year 7 students this year, especially the team of Year 7 Tutors
for their support. Thanks also to Andres Trujillo, Year 7 Assistant
Student Formation Leader, and Peter Nolan, Dean of the Middle
School, for their leadership and guidance.
I would like to wish the students of Year 7 all the best for their
future endeavors, both in and out of the classroom. I feel confident
that they will go on to do themselves and their families proud, in
their time at the College.
Emma Donnellan
As well as the students being enormously involved in their studies,
they have shown an exceptional commitment to their chosen
sport and co-curricular activities. Students displayed their talents
on the sporting fields each week, with strong participation in
rugby, football, cricket, basketball and water polo, in addition to
exercising their musical gifts in the College bands, ensembles and
choirs.

PRIMARY SCHOOL
With a focus on achieving success through four key foundations,
the Primary School has much of which to be proud. The four
foundations for success are discussed at every opportunity, both
at our regular assemblies and in the classroom. They are:
• getting along
• persevering
• organisation
• confidence.
Combine these foundations with hard work, a positive attitude
and passionate teachers and you have a recipe for success.
The single most important variable in achieving this success is
of course, the teaching and learning that occurs. There is much
debate about how to measure teacher effectiveness. In fact,
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation commissioned research
in 2012 to measure teacher effectiveness (MET). It is pleasing
to note that much of what the research discovered, we already
have in place. Well designed student surveys can provide reliable
feedback on aspects of teaching practice and have great potential
for increased teacher effectiveness. This is an area we have
developed over the past year, where the boys completed online
surveys on teacher effectiveness in general, and specifically in the
areas of Mathematics and English. The research also confirmed
the importance of teacher observations. The fact that for the
past 18 months, all Primary School teachers have been involved
in professional observations based on agreed criteria of good
teaching, once again confirms that we are certainly keeping pace
with the latest trends in teaching and learning. If I was to put all
this research simply, I would say that teacher effectiveness can
be measured by student engagement and from my observations,
the boys are all engaged in learning activities where they are
appropriately challenged by a team of teachers who initiate project
based learning in a variety of both independent and collaborative
settings.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank an extremely
talented and passionate group of teachers for their support,
professionalism and expertise over the year. I would also like to
thank a wonderful group of Primary School boys, who by their
friendly and polite greetings each morning and afternoon, make
coming to school both a rewarding and enjoyable experience. It
goes without saying that our wonderful Primary School Secretary,
Megan Cashman, is the reason everything runs so smoothly and
the boys are cared for so beautifully.
Looking back on the year that was
It is important that we are able to celebrate success as well
as accept defeat and certainly 2013 gave us many reasons to
celebrate. Our Go Go Golf team made it four consecutive years as
top school on the Northern Beaches with yet another victory, with
Nichloas Sidery named Most Valued Player. Our Primary School
Rugby Team were winners of the Warringah 10s Tournament, our
Primary Debating Team had their best season for many years with
a third place against some of the best debating teams in Sydney.
All boys should be congratulated for their participation in the many
co-curricular opportunities on offer.
Awards
At our regular Primary School assemblies, we acknowledge
students who have received fortnightly gold, silver, bronze and
encouragement awards. We also acknowledge students who
receive awards from their specialist teachers, either in PDHPE,
Music or Languages. At the end of each semester, boys who have
accumulated the most merits receive a pizza party and special
award in recognition of their continued outstanding behaviour. At
these assemblies, we also recognise students’ achievement in
their various sporting endeavours.
Student leaders
Our student leaders have conducted themselves with distinction
all year. They have led by example and have modelled exemplary
behaviour both in and out of the classroom. Our student leader
representative, Ethan Brownsberger (Year 6), deserves special
mention for the way he welcomed new families into the College.
He certainly embodies everything that is positive about a Catholic
Augustinian education.
Year 11 Reading Buddies
The Reading Buddy Programme has been an enormous success.
Each Thursday a group of specially trained Year 11 reading
instructors reads with Year 5 boys. Encouraging a love of literature
is certainly one of the most important aims of our Primary School
and through this programme we are certainly promoting an
environment which encourages this love of reading.
Primary School clubs and competitions
Several exciting initiatives began in 2013, largely due to the ideas
from a number of our Year 6 boys. These clubs have been well
attended and include:
• Book Clubs
• Chess Championship
• Movie Making Club
• Times Tables Championships
• Spelling Bee
• Art Competition - ‘What inspires me?’
• Public Speaking Competition
• Discussion Group
• Talented Writing Group.
I thank the various leaders of these clubs and competitions for
their enthusiasm in developing a range of activities that cater
for the needs of all the boys in the Primary School. Just before
going to print, I noted that the Discussion Group, led by Monty
Ravenscroft (Year 6), was in deep conversation about the use
of chemical weapons in Syria. The notion of developing boys
holistically, where they are thinking ethically and critically, is
certainly being achieved through such innovations.
Parent support
My job as Dean of Primary School has certainly been made
easier because of the wonderful parent support. Through
positive relationships and open communication and by living out
Augustinian values of Truth, Love and Community, together with
the teachers, we have provided the boys with a strong foundation
for success in the future. It is only in partnership with parents
that we can truly achieve our goal of producing boys who are
well rounded physically, emotionally, socially and academically.
This holistic approach to education is the cornerstone of an
Augustinian community for education.
I look forward to another exciting year in 2014.

SPORT & CO-CURRICULAR
It is through the high level of student
involvement that St Augustine’s College
continues to be successful across a wide
range of sport and co-curricular activities.
These successes are well documented
in the individual reports provided by the
various Teachers in Charge (TIC). There are
however some outstanding achievements
by teams and individuals which require
special mentioning.
Cricket
Cricket continues to thrive as a summer
sport with many excellent performances
in the MWJCA competition, as well as
the various school-based knock out
tournaments in which the College is
associated with. We continue to produce
Manly Warringah representative players in
all age groups. I would like to acknowledge
and thank Sam Hole, Captain of Cricket,
for his leadership. Thanks to James
Scholtens, TIC of Cricket, as well as
coaches, the Cricket Committee, parent
scorers and supporters, for all their hard
work, dedication and commitment.
Rowing
Rowing had an outstanding season with
growth in the number of crews culminating
in the 1st IV qualifying to row at the
Australian Schools Rowing Championships
at Penrith, where they finished 7th out
of 32 top school crews. After doing well
in their heats and in the semi-finals, the
boys qualified for the top eight positions
in Division 1. The final was a great race
with the boys giving it their all, finishing
only eight seconds from a podium finish.
With our crew being the youngest at the
championships and all eligible to row again
next season, I am sure that the experience
they gained will keep them in good stead
for the future. Congratulations to all the
coaches, in particular Matt Ungemach,
head coach, supporters, parents and
rowers for yet another successful season.
Thank you also to Thomas Jubb, TIC of
Rowing, for the immense work and time he
puts into the Rowing Programme.
Water Polo
The College entered teams in the Northern
Suburbs Schools Water Polo competition,
which provides us with tougher
games each week in a well organised
environment. The College teams are
thriving in this new competition, improving
their skills and fitness. Congratulations to
the Opens, Year 8 and Year 9 and the two
Year 7 teams that all made the semi-finals.
Further congratulations to Kobe Cooper,
who was selected in the NSW U/16 team.
The College would like to thank Paul Hull,
TIC of Water Polo, and all the coaches for
their outstanding service to the Water Polo
Programme.
Swimming Carnival was won by Goold.
The staging of the Age Swimming
Championship Carnival in the evening has
proved to be a great success, allowing
parents to attend and support their
sons. From this carnival, the College Age
Champions and school swimming squad
are selected. Congratulations to the
following Senior School Age Champions:

The College Swim Team, which competed
in the ISA Swimming Championships, did
very well, with the Junior team winning the
ISA Division 1 trophy for the third year in
succession. The College team was placed
2nd overall in Division 1, which was a
fantastic achievement. Andrew Newling
from Year 8 was outstanding winning
every individual event he competed in
- the 50 freestyle, backstroke, butterfly,
breaststroke and 100m freestyle. Special
mention must be made of Bob Ferguson,
TIC of Swimming and Anita Harris, for their
hard work preparing our students for all the
carnivals.
Swimming
The Secondary House Swimming
Competition was again keenly contested
with Reville House continuing their
dominance. This win means that Reville
has now won the swimming for ten
consecutive years. The Primary House
Cross Country
The College Cross Country Team has seen
some success since the introduction of
the Running Club. Under the guidance of
Mitchell Cooper, students have gone onto
successfully compete at ISA level and at

The Senior House Athletics Carnival was
not run this year; instead the College ran a
Twilight Carnival for athletes to qualify for
the ISA Championships.
At the ISA Championships, the College
won the Division 1 Championships for the
first time. From 19 schools, the Juniors
came 1st, the Intermediates 2nd and the
Seniors also came 2nd in their division.

Congratulations to Brad Dalton, Coaching
Co-ordinator and 1st V Coach, Emma
Donnellan, TIC ISA and Kate Donnellan,
TIC Manly Warringah Basketball, for all they
do for our most popular summer sport.
Football
The College fielded 26 teams in the MWFA
competition, with ten teams competing
in the semi finals. Of the ten teams in the
semi finals, three teams proceeded to the
grand final, with the 13 Division 1 team
winning the premiership. Following this, the
13 Division 1 and the 14 Division 1 teams
went on to compete in the Champions of
Champions competition.
As a result of winning the ISA Division 1
Athletics Championships, many of our
athletes qualified to represent the ISA at
the NSW Independent Schools Carnival at
Homebush. I would like to acknowledge
and congratulate the following students
who excelled at the carnival:
Patrick Fraser
had an outstanding season. After winning
the ISA competition, they then went on
to defeat Trinity Grammar School (CAS
winners), only to go down to a very strong
team from The Scots College. A special
mention must be made of Daniel Pitcher,
Captain of Basketball, and Tom Savage,
who represented the NSW U18 team.
Daniel was also selected in the Australian
U19 team. He has recently been offered
an NSW Institute of Sport Scholarship to
continue his basketball career.
Lachlan Cooper
Basketball
Basketball has had another successful
season with the 1st V team convincingly
defeating Villanova College, Brisbane in
their annual fixture. At present the College
has 50 teams from Year 5 to Year 12
competing in the local competition and
in the ISA competition, all enjoying great
success. The College in its third year in
the ISA Division 1 competition, performed
extremely well, winning premierships in
the 1st V, the 17 Years and the 15 Years
age groups, thus ensuring the College
winning the Champion ISA Division 1 shield
for three consecutive seasons. The 1st V
Further congratulations go to all students
who have been selected in the various
association representative teams. The
College boasts more than eight Manly
Warringah representative players across
the age groups. The College wishes
to thank all coaches, managers and
supporters for ensuring that the students
had an enjoyable season. Special
mention must go to Chris Gray, TIC, who
did a great job organising our Football
Programme. Henry Tebbutt, Captain of
Football, must also be acknowledged for
his leadership and commitment to football
over many years.
Rugby
The 2013 rugby season was extremely
successful for the College in the ISA
Division 1 competition. Team results reflect
that this season’s success in terms of
results were significantly better than results
in 2012, with six premierships - the 13
White, 13 Green, 14 White, 14 Green, 16
Gold and the 1st XV teams winning their
competitions. A further five teams were
runners up. The 1st XV team defeated two
New Zealand schools touring Australia
- Christchurch Boys’ High School and
Southlands Boys’ High School - then
successfully defended the Waratah Shield
for the third time making it five shield
wins in six years. The team scored 850
points and had only 282 points scored
against them in 17 games. There were 17
players from the 1st and 2nd XV selected
in the ISA Open teams, seven players
selected in the ISA 16 Years, four NSW
Schoolboys, and one Australian Schoolboy
representative, John Walker. Six other
players played NSW Juniors in the 15,
16 and 17 Year age groups. I would like
to acknowledge Hayden Cochrane - in
three seasons of 1st XV appearances,
Hayden amassed 558 points, including
an individual school record of 56 points
against Sydney Boys High School in 2012.
The Rugby Committee must be
congratulated for hosting another
successful Rugby Lunch at Manly Golf
Club, with special guest speakers,
Wallabies Matt Dunning, Andrew Slack and
Steve Williams. Thank you to all coaches,
managers, players and supporters for the
great contribution and support you all give
to the College Rugby Programme. Special
mention must go to Chris Egger, TIC of
the IPSHA competition, for his continued
support and organisation of the Primary
School competition. Well done to Max
Cook, Captain of Rugby, for his leadership
and commitment to the game in his time
as a student at the College. Finally, I would
like to thank the Rugby Supporters Club,
led by Chairman, Steve Schofield, with
members Cameron Douglas, Peter Walsh,
Michael Dyer, Doug Signorini, Greg Marr
and Geoff Hannigan, for their immense
contribution to the College Rugby
Programme.
Other sports
The College would also like to congratulate
the various students who have gained
exceptional accolades in sports not on
offer at the school.
Open Water Swimming
Evan Stratton, Year 10, competed in
the NSW State Age and Open Age 5km
Swimming Regatta at Penrith, where he
finished 2nd in the 15 Years age group.
He then represented NSW at the Australian
Open Water Championships over 5km at
Lake Macquarie, where he finished 4th in
the 15 Years age group. It is interesting
to note that each of these races is the
equivalent of swimming 100 laps of
an Olympic swimming pool. Surf Life Saving
There were many students who gained
medals at the NSW Nippers Surf Life
Saving Championships, and then went
on to represent NSW at the Australian
Championships.
Kayaking
Ben McLean continues to excel in
kayaking. He has already represented
Australia at the World Youth Kayaking
Championships and has now qualified to
train and race in the Men’s Division against
Commonwealth and Olympic kayakers.
Touch Football
Matthew Arnold and Jed Ibbotson were
selected in the NSWCCC Opens Touch
Team that competed in the NSW Schools
Championships. They both excel in the
sport, with Jed gaining selection in the
Australian U18 Team that played New
Zealand.
Gymnastics
The College has students who have
excelled in gymnastics. Jordan Papandrea
leads the way, being crowned the
Australian Champion in Level 9. As a result
of his excellent performances, he was
selected for the Australian Open Team.
Alec Traina, Cameron Malone and Jae
Nagel also must be acknowledged.
Sailing
Tom Milburn, Year 11, was selected in the
NSW 420 Youth Sailing Team in April 2012
following some excellent sailing results
in the 2011 state titles. The International
420 is the smaller version of the Olympic
Class International 470. Tom and his
sailing partner trained with the NSW
squad throughout 2012 and they were
the second placed NSW boat in the 2012
Open State titles and the 2012 NSW Youth
State Championships. Tom represented
NSW in the Australian Open 420
Championships in Hobart, then followed
this regatta with a national top 10 finish in
the Australian 420 Youth Championships,
also in Hobart and was the second placed
NSW boat. Performing and Visual Arts
As well as the numerous sports on offer,
the College provides many other cocurricular activities for students to enhance
their learning experiences. The Lecceto
Arts Centre is the main focal point for
many of the College’s activities including
drama, bands, choirs, ensembles as well
as ceramics. The Band Programme has
expanded to include the Senior, Middle
and Primary School Concert Bands, Stage
Bands 1 and 2 and various ensemble
groups. The bands continued their great
successes at the various eisteddfods,
with Stage Band 1 gaining first place
at the Northern Beaches Eisteddfod.
Furthermore,the Jazz Ensemble continued
to entertain with many public appearances.
The choirs continue to grow, with several
new faces enjoying tutoring from Margi
Coen. Congratulations to Joshua Hurley,
Captain of Music, for his efforts, leadership
and commitment to the Music Programme.
Joseph Montz must be congratulated for
his leadership, along with his dedicated
staff and all musicians of the College for a
highly successful year.
Lord of the Flies
I would like to congratulate all involved
in the production of Lord of the Flies, in
particular Year 11 student, Dylan Bruce.
Those of us who saw the play were very
impressed by the incredible set, the
professionalism and the performance skills
of our students. Congratulations to all the
cast, back-stage crew and staff involved.
Further congratulations to Gillian Towle
and Chris Hardy for their leadership and
commitment ensuring the success of the
production.
Duke of Edinburgh
The Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme
is continuing to prove popular with
more students wanting the challenge of
combining community service, sport,
expeditions and skill development.
Congratulations to our first Gold awardees,
Nathan Watkins and Joshua Hurley, who
have both worked very hard in achieving
the highest honour in the Duke of
Edinburgh Programme. Jo Gray, TIC, and
staff must be congratulated for overseeing
this activity and for their guidance at the
various weekend expeditions.
Debating
This year was another very exciting and
successful season for debating, with over
50 students in the College participating
in the programme. Debating is gaining
strength in numbers and ability each
year, which is a credit to the staff and
calibre of students involved. The College
competed in the Independent Schools
Debating Association (ISDA) competition
during Terms 1 and 2 this year, with some
commendable results. The debating
incursion run by the College prior to the
87
acknowledged for his support and energy;
his presence at many sporting and cocurricular events is very much appreciated.
I personally would like to thank Garry
Simmons, Sports Co-ordinator (Years
5-9), James Scholtens, Sports Coordinator (Years 10-12) and Tracey Boyadji,
Sports Administrator, for their immense
contribution to all the House carnivals and
to all the various Gala Day sporting events
that take place throughout the year.
season was a very rewarding experience
for the students, as they were able to
practise and renew their oral presentation
and preparation skills. The Villanova debate
this year was once again an exciting
experience for the College, with Villanova
narrowly beating Saints on the topic of
“That all cases of cyber-bullying be made
criminal offences.” Congratulations to
William Berthelot, Captain of Debating,
who was accepted to debate on public
issues at the NSW Youth Parliament.
Many thanks, to all staff and students for
another successful season. The College
wishes to thank the TIC, Caitlin Murray,
staff, students and their parents for their
involvement.

Athletics Age Champions
The College Athletic Carnivals were held at Sydney Academy of
Sport, Narrabeen. The following students gained outstanding
achievements in the various track and field events:
There is no doubt that regular sport and physical activity are
essential ingredients in the development and maintenance of
optimum health. At St Augustine’s College, we are fully aware that
sport is important in contributing to quality of life. Participation
in active pursuits can be enjoyable, creative and has a social
outlet that has the potential to build a student’s esteem and
nurture positive attitudes towards sport. With this evidence in
mind, it is little wonder that sport and exercise are seen to have
life long benefits at St Augustine’s College. In 2013, our students
once again excelled in sports such as basketball, cross country,
athletics, swimming, cricket, tennis, water polo, soccer, rugby
league, rugby union and eagle tag.
Some of the Middle School sporting achievements, results and
outstanding highlights were as follows:
Swimming Age Champions

group
• winning all of the 4 x 100m relays
• four athletes set new ISA records
90

the ISA at the NSW Combined
Independent Schools Championships

the NSW All Schools Carnival. Lachlan
Cooper (Year 9) was placed 2nd in
the 14 Years 800m and won the 14
Years 1500m, setting College and ISA
records. Lachlan will now represent
NSW at the Australian Track and
Field championships in December in
Townsville

The 2013/14 season is currently underway and again we have
five teams competing in Division 1 of the Independent Sporting
Association (ISA) competition which concludes in March 2014.
The 2012/2013 ISA season saw St Augustine’s College continuing
our success in Division 1 with all five of our teams recording
fantastic results. Three of the five teams scored a place in
the grand finals and finished the competition with three ISA
premierships.
Congratulations to all students and coaches for what was a
memorable season. We hope to continue our success in the
2013/14 season.

This year has also seen many special events in the basketball
calendar. Our College 1st V team travelled to Brisbane for our
annual fixture against our brother school, Villanova College where
we were victorious for the seventh consecutive year. With Captain,
Daniel Pitcher, unavailable due to state commitments, James
Asensi took on the captaincy role. The match attracted a large
crowd and was a well fought out contest with St Augustine’s
winning convincingly in the final quarter.
91
As well as the annual Villanova fixture, the team travelled to
Brisbane in July to take part in the prestigious Churchie Big 8
Invitational Tournament for the first time. We were successful in
taking out the tournament, beating Ipswich Grammar School
77-68 in the grand final. From this tournament, an All Star 5 was
selected from individual performances throughout the competition.
James Asensi and Daniel Pitcher were both named in the team.
Daniel Pitcher was also named Most Outstanding Player of the
Tournament, which capped off a highly successful trip for our top
basketballers.
This year also saw our 1st V carry on their ISA win to compete in
the NSW Champion Schools competition. They recorded wins
against CAS winners, Trinity Grammar School, which saw them
progress to the grand final against The Scot’s College, where we
went down in a close encounter.
Special thanks to Brad Dalton, 1st V Coach and Coaching Coordinator. His work over the past few years with this group was
evident during the match and we thank him for all of his hard
work.
Along with success in our competitions, several St Augustine’s
students have also achieved some impressive representative
honours, with players representing Manly Warringah, Norths,
the Independent Sporting Association, New South Wales and
Australia. Seven students represented the Independent Sporting
Association: Daniel Pitcher, Tom Savage, Keegan Richmond,
Jonathan Marsh, James Asensi, Gorjok Gak and Bill Awet.
Five students gained selection in the highly regarded National
Intensive Training Program (NITP) and have been working with the
top coaches in the country to improve their individual skills and
performance: Isaiah Lee (Year 7), Deng Gak (Year 9), Jonathan
Marsh (Year 11), Tom Savage (Year 11) and Daniel Pitcher (Year
12). This year also saw three students selected to represent
New South Wales. Isaiah Lee (Year 7) was selected in the NSW
U/16 Metro Squad to compete in the East Coast Challenge in
January 2014. Daniel Pitcher (Year 12) and Tom Savage (Year
11) were selected to represent NSW at the Australian U/18
Mens Basketball Championships that were held in Brisbane in
April. Both students were standouts, for not only the NSW team
which won the silver medal, but for the entire tournament. From
his performances at the Australian U/18 Mens Championships,
Daniel was invited to attend prestigious Nike Basketball camp,
which was held in China in June this year. Only 30 players from
around the world were invited to attend this elite camp and
this was an extremely significant achievement. As well as this
success, Daniel was also awarded a New South Wales Institute
92
of Sport Basketball Scholarship for 2013, where he will undergo
an extremely intense training programme. Tom Savage of Year 11
was also offered a place in this impressive squad. As well as his
state representation, Daniel Pitcher was also selected in the 2013
U/19 Australian Squad. This is a wonderful achievement for our
Captain of Basketball and we wish Daniel the best of luck in his
future basketball endeavours.
Finally, a big thank you to all the students for their continued
participation and sportsmanship throughout the season your efforts have been fantastic and I look forward to another
successful year of basketball in 2014.

Local Competition - Manly Warringah Basketball
St Augustine’s College continued to be a force in the Manly
Warringah Basketball Competition in 2013 entering 52 teams
across the age groups. The students played some exceptional
basketball and their participation and sportsmanship through the
season was commendable. A programme of this magnitude could not operate without the
support of many. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all
the College staff, parents and student coaches for giving up their
time week after week to coach and manage the teams - your
efforts are greatly appreciated.
2013 was a fantastic year for St Augustine’s basketball and I look
forward to an even better season in 2014.

CRICKET
The 2012/13 MWJCA season commenced at the beginning of
September 2012, with 13 teams representing the College. A
number of new students who were coming to the College in 2013
had taken the opportunity to join a cricket team and meet some
new classmates at the same time. Results for the second half
of the season saw some thrilling matches played out and in the
U/14 Division 2 Grand Final, two St Augustine’s teams competed,
with the 14 Golds prevailing by the closest of margins to win the
College’s only premiership in the Manly Warringah Junior Cricket
Association competition. It was also great to see a number of
parents taking on coaching and managing roles within their son’s
team.
Interestingly, the U11 Division 1 team is made up entirely of new
students coming into Year 5 next year and it is great to see them
playing as a new team. The new cricket playing shirt has made its
long awaited debut and all players look great in the new uniform.
Finally, I would also like to thank all the coaches - parents and staff
- for their continued efforts within the Saints Cricket Programme
and all the managers, scorers, umpires and supporters of
Australia’s favourite game.

The College 1st XI took out its third Manly Cup T20 premiership
with a thrilling win over St Paul’s College at Manly Oval. Led by
Captain of Cricket, Sam Hole, the team withstood some final over
nerves to retain the cup for the third time. Congratulations to Sam
and the players, of whom a large number will return to contest the
cup again in December 2013 and into 2014.
The WeetBix Cup T20 competition for U/14 and U/16 teams is
fast becoming the premier short form tournament in Sydney, and
in Term 1 two teams participated in matches at the Blacktown
Sports Complex. Although both teams made a relatively early exit
from the tournament, the opportunity to play a game on the first
class surface has whet the appetite for all players to return next
year and go all the way.
The Staff XI continued its fine form, winning its three annual
games against the Students XI, St Paul’s Staff XI and the Parents
XI. The tri-series will continue this summer and the staff team are
determined to remain undefeated for another year.
The Cricket Committee continued to assist with the running of
the Cricket Club and promote some new initiatives. While still in
its first year, already some exciting challenges are being planned.
The Trivia Night / Friendraiser function in September was a great
night and plans for a bigger and better event in 2014 are in place.
I would like to thank Chairman, Phill Edwards, for his continued
support and also Secretary, Sharon Porter, for her tireless work
ethic. I applaud the committee members for their valued support.
The Annual Cricket Presentation Night held in May was another
successful event, with former Australian batsman, Doug Walters,
in attendance to present the awards and speak to the boys. Doug
was brilliant value and shared stories from his Test career and the
early days of One Day International Cricket and Kerry Packer’s
influence which has certainly shaped the way cricket is played in
this country at the highest level.
The start of the 2013/14 season has brought with it five new
teams participating in the Saturday morning competition.

DEBATING
The 2013 ISDA debating season was a quick, yet exciting journey
at St Augustine’s College. With 54 students participating in the
competition and five of the debates being hosted on home
ground, gave our team an added edge in the academic arena this
year.
The College participates in the Independent Schools Debating
Association (ISDA) competition and this year we debated against
Ravenswood School for Girls, St Andrew’s Cathedral School,
St Joseph’s College, Abbotsleigh, Knox Grammar School,
Ascham School and Trinity Grammar School, over seven rounds.
The invaluable support from the coaches, students and parents
helped make the season such a success. It was wonderful to
witness the growth of all the debaters throughout the season
as they became more confident and articulate in organising and
presenting their debates. Congratulations to our Primary B and
Year 7 teams who were one point off making it to the semi final
round this year.

Debating allows an individual to develop skills in public speaking,
teamwork, listening and note taking, as well as problem solving
and analytical skills. Many of the nation’s top solicitors, business
executives, doctors and elected leaders participated in debating
during their high school years. The boys find the experience and
development of such skills invaluable, particularly as it prepares
them for tertiary education, entering the workforce and interacting
with people from all backgrounds, cultures and belief systems in
their life after school.
Students’ general knowledge was challenged this year, as
the selection of topics came from areas such as politics and
governance, criminal law, economics, social issues and a variety
of other topical issues. Some of the more memorable and often
controversial topics our boys tackled were: “that we should close
elite sporting schools”; “that we should change our national
anthem”; “that breaking election promises should result in a reelection” and “that the government should subsidise print media”.
During the Term 1 holidays, our senior Villanova Debating team
consisting of William Berthelot, Tim Schofield, Raphael Duffy and
Matthew Schofield, travelled to Villanova College in Brisbane,
accompanied by their coach and Old Boy, Luke Dominish, and
Caitlin Murray, to participate in the annual Villanova College versus
St Augustine’s College debate. The team showed great maturity,
commitment and engagement with the topic: “that all cases
of cyber bullying must be made criminal offences”. It was an
incredibly tight match right until the end, with Saints just missing
out on claiming the Fr Peter Wieneke Shield. Congratulations to
Tim Schofield, College Vice Captain, who took out the trophy for
best and fairest speaker.
I wish to thank the following staff coaches for their advice and
unfailing support and efforts throughout the season. Their
hard work, dedication, organisation of the boys and availability
to coach, transport and assist at home debates was greatly
appreciated.

FOOTBALL
2013 has provided yet another thrilling season for St Augustine’s
College football. 26 teams represented the College in the Manly
Warringah Competition, ranging from U/11through to U/18.
St Augustine’s also had a squad in the Open Men’s Premier
League Division. This team included around 80 per cent of players
who are Old Boys of the College.
At the end of the regular season games in 2013, we had three
teams win the major premiership titles - the 13/1A, 14/1 and 16/2
teams. One team, the 14/2’s, were runners up. Six other teams
made it into the top four, earning a semi final game. Unfortunately
semi final day didn’t quite go St Augustine’s way, with only three
teams winning and progressing to the grand final. Many other
semi final games were very close and Saints teams only lost by
the narrowest of margins.
The grand final games, as you would expect, were extremely
close. The 13/1A team were up first and played in a contest
that went end to end all game. St Augustine’s scored first, only
to be denied by a correct offside call by the linesman. Avalon
took the lead with a goal and looked set for victory. This was
until a last ditch effort by St Augustine’s tied the game with 30
seconds remaining. The game recommenced in extra time until
the opposition Avalon striker, with a great solo effort, scored the
golden goal to end the game.
Next up was the 13/2 team. Coming from third place on the table,
it was always going to be a big challenge for the boys. In a very
exciting game, Saints were awarded a penalty which was calmly
placed to give the boys a 1 - 0 lead. The game continued with
both teams narrowly missing their opportunities to score. At full
time with the score locked at 1 - 0, St Augustine’s 13/2 team were
awarded the knockout winner’s trophy.
The third grand final for St Augustine’s was the 16/2 team. It was
a tough and physical game with defences proving too hard to
break. The score at the end of regular time finished 0 - 0 even with
a penalty awarded to the opposition. The pace of the game didn’t
stop with the start of extra time, and although Saints were very
unlucky not to get the result, Pittwater was awarded the win with
a late goal in the second half of extra time. Well done to all three
teams for their effort and sportsmanship shown in their grand final
encounters.
108
A couple of notable achievements from the season include:
• the 13/1A and 14/1 teams winning their Division 1
competitions and therefore progressing to the very prestigious
NSW Champion of Champions competition, playing against
other Division 1 winners from around the state
• the 13/1A team were awarded the Union Jack Trophy given
to the best junior team in the Manly Warringah Football
Association. This team was undefeated throughout their
normal season competition games.
Representative players
The following players should be congratulated for their selection
into the various representative teams this year: Finn Ashton, Aiden
Bariol, Oscar Casteigt, Nick Corcoran, Ben Varvaressos, Ben
Koop, Zachary Prince, Lachlan Panetta, Sheldon Tweedie, Nathan
Separovic and Lachlan McLean. I would also like to congratulate
Lachlan, current member of our 1st XI team, for making his
debut with Manly United’s First Grade team this year. Given that
he still has another year at the College, this is a very impressive
achievement.
Finally, I would like to express my sincere thanks to David
Anglicas, Simon Tebbutt, Fab Vescio, John Ward and Anna Lisa
Seager for their help with St Augustine’s Football Programme this
year. In particular, I would like to recognise Anna Lisa who steps
down from her role as Club Registrar. Her four years of service
to St Augustine’s football have been greatly appreciated. Thank
you also to the many coaches, managers, volunteers and parents
involved this year and also to Henry Tebbutt for his work as
Captain of Football. Henry’s leadership both on and off the field is
a credit to himself and his family.
Enjoy your off season and I look forward to seeing you all around
the grounds in 2014.

PERFORMING ARTS
We also saw the introduction of the Section Leaders - a group
of exceptional boys, known for their generosity and leadership
in ensembles, and for being excellent role models. The six boys
chosen to represent the woodwind, brass, and rhythm sections
gave much of their time to ensure the overall success of all
musicians in the College Band Programme.
As always, there is a bittersweet feeling as we approach the end
of the year. We see such great progress in our students, yet we
have to say goodbye to so many talented Year 12 students. We
thank them for their service and dedication to the Performing Arts
Programme, and eagerly await their success in performance over
the coming years, as so many of our Old Boys have done before
them.
The College’s music and drama co-curricular activities form the
Performing Arts Programme. Through the expertise of our talented
staff and tutors, we have been successful in creating a diverse
range of activities that cater to the range of performers at the
College. We continue to review the activities we have on offer,
and have introduced new activities to meet the growing demand
for variety.
Joseph Montz
Performing Arts Co-ordinator
We saw the first (non musical) drama production in a decade,
as Gillian Towle led a group of enthusiastic staff and young
actors in the 2013 production of Lord of the Flies. Following
this monumentally successful show, the younger students at
the College were once again given the opportunity to extend
their drama performance and composition skills through the
continuation of the Junior Drama Club.
Drama
The Junior Drama Club meets every Wednesday afternoon for an
hour and a half. We now have over 40 members and the boys
range in age from Year 5 to Year 7, with some Year 8 students
coming along to mentor and support the younger boys. I would
like to particularly acknowledge Oskar Perks, Zach Butler and
Kevin Merrigan for their support this year. This is an example
of the collegiality we try to foster. All the members are wholly
enthusiastic about drama, and are learning key skills such as
teamwork, co-operation, creative thinking and problem solving.
In the club, we are also giving the boys the foundations of drama
techniques like vocal work, movement and the use of the space
to communicate dramatic meaning. This year we have covered
improvisation, devised theatre, short script work, and writing
and performing our own television commercials. This has given
the boys the opportunity to write their own scripts and perform
to camera and resulted in some wonderfully imaginative work.
In Term 4, we returned to more naturalistic acting techniques in
preparation for a small presentation at the end of the year.
We have started rehearsals for the 2014 Stella Maris/
St Augustine’s College production of Thoroughly Modern Millie.
We look forward to seeing this in late Term 1 2014.
I wish I could reward all the boys for their superb participation this
year; I value every one of them and thank them for the fun we
have had!
Our small ensembles and extension bands continue to support
the boys wishing to extend their music performance involvement,
while the three concert bands provide a solid and comprehensive
base for all musicians at the College.
In its third successful year, the St Augustine’s Music Festival
continued to showcase the extensive music talent. Boys from all
levels and on all instruments filled the halls, rooms and playground
with beautiful music.

Lord of the Flies
I really had no idea what I was taking on when I decided to
direct Lord of the Flies, an adaptation of Golding’s novel by Nigel
Williams. The adage about never working with children and
animals should have included dead parachutists, fire, smoke,
mountains, as well as boys and wild pigs! However, the themes
were too important to ignore; bullying, greed, and the abuse of
power to name but three. I wanted students in the audience to
consider whether, if they found themselves in a similar situation,
they would respond like Ralph or Jack. The story takes us on a
challenging journey from boyhood to manhood, “like lamenting the
lost childhood of the world,” as Golding remarked.
Over 80 students and staff collaborated with me over Term 1
2013, to produce this demanding three act play. Many of the
cast had never acted before, and the amount of lines to be learnt
presented an incredible challenge for some. However, as the
weeks progressed, the students formed a tangible ensemble
company, a community who cared about one another and wanted
everyone to do their best and make the show something to
remember.
Papahatzis and Lianne Williams. I will always be grateful to Dave
and Helen Anglicas and the maintenance team who helped us so
much.
We sold out before we opened, a first for me, and were lucky
enough to appear in the Manly Daily. The response to the four
performances was quite overwhelming. All in all, this was truly
a team effort and a wonderful experience. Thank you to all who
supported us, and especially to Principal, Tim Cleary and Head of
School, Matthew Hutchison, for giving me this opportunity. Drama
at St Augustine’s is alive and well!
Gillian Towle, Director
Faculty Co-ordinator - Drama
I was extraordinarily lucky to work with such professional boys,
not only on stage but behind the scenes as well. We had a
young backstage crew, and two students, Tim Mercer and Matt
Earngey, operating the lights and sound effects respectively. Tate
Williams did a fantastic job as Production Assistant and Chris
Hardy went way beyond the call of duty as Production Manager,
also mentoring the two technicians and overseeing our technical
management. Many staff volunteered to supervise backstage, and
the talents of Jo Gray, Robyn Larbalestier, Cheryl Howell, Philippa
Sherwood and Mary Smith were very much in evidence in set,
props and costumes. Other staff who assisted included Adam
Evans, Aleksi Kohonen, Matt Anglicas, Amanda Neilsen, Lynne

St Augustine’s Music Festival
The Music Festival returned to the College this year stronger than
ever. With over one hundred performances over the week, the
vibe was exciting. The festival is an initiative by the College to
combine several annual music events from throughout the year
into one entertaining week, while creating an exciting cultural
experience in the College.
During the days, eight rock bands from Years 7 to 12 battled it
out for their chance at the perpetual trophies in Rock in the Quad
(held in the Quadrangle at lunchtimes). Combined junior group,
Danos Direct, and combined senior group, The Fusion Collective,
took out this year’s Junior and Senior Divisions. Their names are
now on the trophies displayed in the Lecceto foyer.
In the evenings, experts in brass, percussion, voice, piano, guitar
and bass, adjudicated students from Years 5 to 12 in the solo
recitals. The boys showed tremendous talent and courage for
performing in front of so many.
A new addition to this year’s Music Festival was the Composition
Competition. The winner was College Music Captain, Joshua
Hurley, with his piece for percussions ensemble, The Coming of
the Storm.
The week’s activities drew to a close with the highly professional
Showcase Concert, the highlight of the performance calendar. The
audience was treated to some of the College’s most entertaining
and polished performances we’ve ever had.
All the concert bands were kept busy with school performances
at College Assemblies, Open Day, the Music Festival Showcase
Concert, Performing Arts Presentation Evening, the Term 4
Twilight Concert, the Band Integration Day in October and
Celebration of Excellence.

Concert Bands Conductor
Stage Bands
The stage band is an extension band designed to expand the
students’ solo performance capabilities, while giving them a
deeper understanding of small ensemble playing. The repertoire
tends to be more jazz focused, and includes elements of rock,
pop, funk and Latin. Stage Bands 1 and 2 have continued to
develop their sound over 2013. They demonstrated a profound
understanding of the various styles, and each performance
showed a promising level of refinement. Stage Band 1 has
been refining their sound, and developing their understanding of
the nuances of style while Stage Band 2 has been working on
increasing the difficulty level of their repertoire.
Stage Band 1 once again took first place in the Northern Beaches
Eisteddfod, while Stage Band 2 scored a close third behind the
winners from last year’s competition. Both bands were accepted
to perform in the Manly International Jazz Festival, and played with
distinction to the hundreds of audience members each day.
Joseph Montz
Stage Bands Conductor
Brass Ensemble
The Brass Ensemble (our newest ensemble) demands a focus on
tone quality, intonation, and an attention to detail - all things that
are paramount to the development of a good brass player. The
ensemble has had a series of successful performances this year,
opening the Showcase Concert, and representing the College at a
fundraiser concert at St Mary’s Church in Manly.
Joseph Montz

Concert Bands
In 2013 we again began with three graded concert bands. The
Primary School Concert Band welcomed the boys who attended
the 2012 Band Integration Day. This group consisted of 18
enthusiastic students in Years 5 and 6 and they began the year
with a Workshop Day, where they rehearsed in sections and with
the full band, to learn repertoire for the upcoming competitions.
This ensemble performed at the Northern Beaches Eisteddfod in
May, receiving a Silver Award. In July, at the NSW School Band
Festival held at the University of NSW, the ensemble received an
Encouragement Award.
The Middle School Concert Band also welcomed a group of
boys from the Band Integration Day. The group consisted of
41 students from Years 7 and 8 and also began the year with
a Workshop Day in early February. The band also competed in
the Northern Beaches Eisteddfod and in the NSW School Band
Festival.
The Senior School Concert Band had a solid beginning to the
year. In Term 3 2012, the Year 8 students joined and had a
term playing in the band, to take the place of the many Year
12 musicians who had graduated. The band is 36 players
strong. They achieved a second place in the Northern Beaches
Eisteddfod, and a Silver Award in the David Stanhope event at the
NSW School Band Festival in July.

Jazz Ensemble
The students in the Jazz Ensemble showed immense depth of
improvisation as well as the ability to perform as soloists and as
members of an ensemble. This year, the ensemble performed
at College functions, Rotary Club, Club North Manly and at the
Manly Jazz Festival. It is adeptly led on stage by the Year 12
students and perform with instrumental virtuosity, aplomb and a
developing awareness of audience and stage presentation skills.
The students have all shown dedication and commitment. They
bring their creative possibilities to each rehearsal and are prepared
to try new ideas.

Percussion Ensemble
The Percussion Ensemble has progressed during its second
year to tackle much more challenging music with great gusto
and results. It has also expanded in numbers to a group of
nine dedicated students who love to tap, scrape, hit and drum
rhythmically - sorry to all the class teachers for any inappropriate
tapping on desks as a result! The year’s main work, Fortress of the
Prince, was a challenging piece inspired by epic film soundtracks
and was performed at the Music Festival Week Gala Concert to
great applause. Other music studied was Brazilian samba, African
hand drumming (learnt by memory) and also a newly composed
piece specially written for the ensemble. Thanks for all your hard
work boys.

Bass Guitar Ensemble
Striving to provide lots of opportunities for the students at
St Augustine’s College, we trialled a bass guitar ensemble this
year, which has proven to be highly successful. Performing at
Open Day within six weeks of forming and doing a great job has
all the boys keen to give up their lunchtime to come and create
huge rumblings in the Ensemble Room every Tuesday. We have
been experimenting with effects, equalisation and PAs to learn
about sound and balance. A bass guitar ensemble is an unusual
combination, but I have certainly enjoyed working with the
students.
Jason Smith
Bass Guitar Ensemble Conductor
String Ensemble
The String Ensemble is now in its second year, beginning in
September 2012. It now has a large repertoire of songs, ranging
from classical string works to more popular rock music. In August,
the ensemble performed at the Chamber Concert held in the
Lecceto Auditorium. Each student performed a solo and the
group played the complete repertoire for family and friends. They
were asked to perform at the College Foundation Dinners for Year
5 parents and finished the year with a performance at the annual
Twilight Concert in October.
Guitar Ensemble
The Guitar Ensemble started off with a bang, with all the students
coming together and pulling off some great performances
throughout the year. The boys come to rehearsals every Friday,
“frothing” and ready to “shred.” Run by two talented Year 12
students, the ensemble has a growing social status with an
increasing number of members and is continuing to develop with
an enormous amount of potential. It is going to be tough not
taking these students any more, and we really hope that we can
get the chance to work with them in the future. Keep rocking!

Senior School Choir
The Senior School Choir has made a great improvement musically
this year. After nine Year 12 students graduated at the end of
2012, the choir gained ten new members who rapidly adjusted.
The choir has been working on building solid foundations as
a new ensemble. It participated in the Ryde Eisteddfod and
achieved a great report and has performed at several school
performances this year.

ROWING
The College Rowing Programme took a major step forward this
year. The results were outstanding at both senior and junior squad
level. It was also very pleasing to see development of the junior
boys. There was a significant increase in the number and quality
of races the boys competed in during the year, which reflects the
growing competitiveness of the College.
Our senior rowers competed at the highest schoolboy levels this
year. Our 1st IV (Jack Bray, Zac Von Appen, William Grisewood,
Sean Murphy and coxswain Lachlan Burgess) won the first
Open Championship medal for St Augustine’s - bronze at the
NSW Championships. Furthermore they won gold at the ISA
Championships in Canberra by three boat lengths and finished 7th
in the A final at the Australian Championships in the Schoolboy
Fours. They were the youngest crew in the field, improved every
weekend during the season and performed superbly against the
traditional rowing schools from all over Australia.
In addition, our Year 10 seniors (Adam Kennedy, Liam Elliot,
Zac Von Appen, William Grisewood and coxswain Montgomery
Ravenscroft) won gold at the Head of the River in the Year 10
Schoolboy Fours.
The St Augustine’s Year 8 and Year 9 squad showed good results
and improvements during the season competing at the Riverview
Gold Cup, multiple GPS school regattas, the NSW Head of the
River and the ISA Championships in Canberra.
The Year 8 Quad (Bjarne Ungemach, Jack Donkers, Felix Daddo,
Jackson Brouwers and coxswain Zachary Kinnear) had a great
rookie year, which culminated in winning bronze at the ISA
Championships in Canberra, in a field of 38 crews and securing
a place in an A final at the NSW Head of the River. The boys also
competed strongly at other regattas throughout the year, often
racing against Year 9 boats.
The Captain of Boats this year was Sean Murphy and the Junior
Captain of Boats was Cameron Prince.
The College is fortunate to have very talented and dedicated
coaches. Matt and Judith Ungemach are both NCAS accredited

Level 2. Matt is a dual world champion, Olympian and world
record holder in the coxed four. Judith rowed for East and West
Germany, winning world championships, Olympic gold and bronze
in the Women’s eight in 1988 and 1992. Tristan Dwyer served in
his first year of coaching and was able to draw on his six years
of experience rowing for the College. He concluded his rowing in
2012 as a member of the 1st IV and also as Captain of Boats.
The Rowing Programme continues to grow its assets. The
newly christened Unitas was added to a growing number of
quality boats in which the boys compete. With further success
and continued expansion, we plan to build a faster fleet. It is
also worth noting that we have significantly increased our erg
equipment numbers this year, which will further bolster the training
capabilities of the squad in 2014.
The Rowing Programme could not function without the dedication
of the Rowing Committee, Thomas Jubb (TIC Rowing) and
the rowing parents. The parents in particular, always pitched in
to help with towing the boats, catering the supporter’s tent at
regattas and of course getting the boys to regattas and training. A
special mention goes to Peter Donkers who did some great work
repairing and maintaining the boat trailer - not to mention his fair
share of towing. We also thank and farewell Catriona Kennedy as
outgoing Chair of the Rowing Committee. Catriona’s commitment
to fundraising and organisational activities was appreciated by all.
As the Rowing Programme heads into its tenth year, we must
make special mention of Fabian Dwyer. Without Fabian, the
programme would not be where it is today. As Chairman of the
College Board and Rowing Committee member, he has put
rowing front and centre. We greatly appreciate his continued
efforts and dedication.
A wonderful platform has now been built for the St Augustine’s
Rowing Programme. 2013/2014 should be a very exciting year for
all involved.

RUGBY
1st XV Rugby
Coming into the 2013 season, the College 1st XV had clear sight
of the major goals for the season, being the retention of the
Waratah Shield and the MG Lyon’s Cup and to regain the ISA
premiership that was lost in 2012. A challenging calendar of preseason games looked like it would provide a great preparation for
the trophies on offer.
An early victory over Waverley College was followed by a second
half collapse leading to defeat against St Edmunds, where a
comfortable half-time lead was squandered with a poor attitude
in defence, something evident in parts of the Waverley game. A
concentration on technique, timing and attitude looked to have
fixed the problem with a solid victory over Villanova followed
by two hard-fought wins over strong New Zealand visitors
Christchurch Boys’ High School and Southland Boys’ High School
in two games of high paced and intense football. A semi-opposed
training session, following an invitation from the Australian U20
World Cup Team prior to their leaving for France, gave a valuable
insight into the skills and pace required for those wishing to
pursue their rugby at a higher level post school.
shocked and Saints confident of regaining the ISA premiership.
Thoughts that the mid-year break would interrupt the flow of the
season like it had in 2012, proved unfounded, as big victories
over St Stanislaus College, St Gregory’s College and St Patrick’s
College wrapped up a near perfect ISA season, with six wins,
five of which included bonus points for four or more tries. During
this period, a match against Bedford College from the ‘Old Dart’
played at the hallowed Manly Oval, provided further evidence of
the attacking potency within the squad. The tourists left mightily
impressed by the standards of skill and physicality that the U16s
and Opens had shown.
However, the much anticipated game against St Ignatius’ College
Riverview, the final hit-out prior to the ISA season opener, again
finished in disappointment. After establishing a good lead at the
break, the flat second half performance led to another loss and
some much needed circumspection.
The season’s focus then went to the Waratah Shield defence, with
the prospect of a likely rematch with either St Edmund’s College
from Canberra or Oakhill College as an added incentive to reach
the final. After big wins over Daramalan College, Epping Boys High
School and Marist College Canberra, the final would be against
Oakhill, who had won their way there with some impressive wins.
The ISA runners-up were determined to extract revenge and show
that the earlier result was an aberration. Before a great crowd of
supporters, Saints were tested sternly by the swarming Oakhill
tactics and led only 19-14 at half time. As the game opened up,
the tries, some spectacular in execution, began flowing, resulting
in the final score of 64-21. The rendition of the team song,
accompanied by our supporters, was especially animated and
memorable following full-time.
The first two competition games against St Pius X College and
Kinross Walaroi School did not produce the quality football seen
earlier in the season; however, they were two victories which set
us up well for the big match against defending champions, Oakhill
College. Played early on a Thursday evening due to representative
commitments, Saints put together one of their most convincing
victories for some time, running out 65 - 0 winners, with a
dominant performance across the park leaving Oakhill shell-
Seventeen of our squad represented ISA, and four students,
Mathew Arnold, Charlie Taylor, John Walker and James Lough
represented NSW Schools. It should also be noted that Charlie
Taylor will also play against New Zealand schools, however, as a
player in the Australian Schools Rugby League tour to the ‘land
of the long white cloud’. Hayden Cochrane must have a special
mention, as in the three seasons he has played 1st XV, he has
amassed an incredible 558 points, with 24 tries, 210 conversions
121
and 6 penalty goals, and furthermore he has set a College record
of scoring 56 individual points in a game.
Statistically, the season’s 17 games produced 15 victories, the
retention of all of the silverware and provided a great deal of
entertainment for all players and supporters. We scored 133
tries and had an average margin of 50 to 14. However, what
the season provided in terms of consolidating friendships, the
development of skills and the testing of courage, patience and
trust in the furnace of battle will long outlive the memories of score
lines. I feel that this year’s squad has not only played the game in
an attractive way, but also played the game in the spirit that has
been taught to us by all of the great College teams that we have
grown up idolising. Our hope is that we have further enhanced
both the reputation of our College and the game of rugby itself.
I would like to thank Assistant Coach, Mark Downey for his
friendship, commitment and help in preparing the team, Manager,
Les Bobis, for all his hard work and finally to all the players who
sacrifice so much to represent the College with distinction - you
have set a great tradition of running rugby which is a legacy that
all junior players aspire to achieve.
Primary School Rugby
It has been an outstanding year for Junior Rugby, with the season
kicking off with the U12s becoming joint winners in their division of
the annual TAS (The Armidale School) Primary Rugby Carnival.
In the IPSHA competition both U11 and U12 teams participated
in the top division for their age group comprising of schools with
strong rugby traditions, such as St Ignatius’ College Riverview,
Scots College and Knox Grammar School to name but a few. In
the U12 age group the Gold and Green teams had an outstanding
season, winning the majority of their games with some excellent
performances as the season progressed. The Reds were
competitive in all games with more than half of their results
recorded as wins.
The U11 Gold team faced tough opposition and the boys are to
be commended for their performances, improving throughout
the season and achieving several notable triumphs. The Greens
and Reds came through undefeated with some tremendous
performances and the Whites suffered only one defeat the whole
season.
To round off the season, U11 and U12 teams participated in the
Warringah Rugby Sevens Schools competition with the U12 side
becoming the 2013 Sevens Champions.
The most pleasing thing for the rugby coaches, managers and
parents, was to see the improvement made by all teams in terms
of their skills, gameplay and the ability to work as a cohesive
unit. In addition, the sportsmanship shown by all junior players
towards their opposition, referees, coaches and team mates was
exemplary and the boys are to be congratulated for this.
We hope that the boys continue to enjoy their rugby in the future
and we wish them every success.

Junior Rugby
This year’s visit to the Northern Beaches by great Canberra
rugby school, St Edmund’s College, was to act as the catalyst for
another fine season for our junior rugby teams. Some great wins
early on had the rugby community abuzz with what our young
teams were capable of. St Augustine’s College again hosted
Toowoomba Grammar School in their annual U13s Sydney tour
held at the end of Term 2 this year. In a high scoring match,
St Augustine’s took the spoils to register their first win against their
northern opponents in five matches. Off the field, the opportunity
for the boys to billet a visiting team was a great experience for all
involved and great friendships were made through experiences
such as these.
Once the ISA competition commenced, results in the top divisions
became all the more important and teams going into the mid
season break undefeated had huge tasks ahead of them. The
U16 squad again proved to be readying themselves for Opens
Rugby with some great wins, often under trying circumstances
and with a growing injury toll.
The second half of the season commenced with an away game
at Kinross Wolaroi School, and then an important home fixture
versus Oakhill College, which in some respects determined
the make up of the final standings. After the final round of
matches, through the great results by the College rugby teams,
St Augustine’s College was awarded the ISA Champion School
shield as the best rugby school in the ISA for the 2013 season. It
is a testament to all players, coaches, managers and parents for
their support, dedication and hard work.

VILLANOVA TOUR
2013 saw the St Augustine’s College community travel to our
brother school, Villanova College in Brisbane, for an intensely
packed three days. It was an opportunity to renew friendships
and create new relationships among the staff and students of
both schools. The tours are an integral part of our two schools’
interactions.
Over the years the competition for the four trophies has always
been keen, but also conducted with great mutual respect for each
other. The contests have been generally evenly distributed over
the years, as can be seen from the table:

Trophy
The contests have been running since 1962 with a break from
1976 to 1983. In 1984, Fr Mike Slack OSA and Mark Downey
rekindled the competition for the M.G. Lyons Rugby Cup. In 1962,
this was the sole trophy on offer. In 1990, the Fr Brimson Football
Cup was added, along with the Fr Les Seary Basketball Cup in
1991, and the Fr Peter Wieneke Debating Shield in1995.
There was no rest for the Saints teams after their flight from
Sydney, as they moved to the Easts soccer ground for the first
game of the tour. A fast paced game ensued, with Villanova
clearly the dominant team in the early exchanges, running to a
two goal advantage in the first 20 minutes. The Saints boys hit
back and at the break it was two all. The second half saw an
exciting exchange with victory in sight for Saints. Villanova scored
in the last 20 seconds to make it four all. In a highly charged
environment, Villanova managed to out score Saints in the penalty
shootout and take the trophy.
The second day was a full calendar, with debating in the morning
and rugby at lunchtime followed by basketball in the evening.
The debate, “That all cases of cyber bullying be made criminal
offences” was hotly contested, with each side presenting their
case with fact, wit and theatre. In the summation, the adjudicator
was very complimentary to both teams, but points fell the way of
Villanova College. A great moment for both teams was the chance
to meet Fr Wieneke OSA, after whom the trophy is named.
The rugby match was played for the first time on Easts Rugby
League ground, and we saw an intense game between the two
teams, both with aspirations to hold the cup. The game ebbed
and flowed in a hard fought contest, with Saints emerging
victorious.
The basketball game in Villanova Hall saw Saints and Villa trade
baskets in a high paced game. The outcome of the game was
in the balance until the final whistle, with Saints taking the trophy
with a 59 to 37 victory.
After the presentation of the trophies, the Saints touring party
were guests at a BBQ, highlighting the strong connections and
bonds that exist between these two Augustinian communities.

WATER POLO
In 2013, the College fielded 11 water polo teams from Years 5 to
12 with a total of 133 boys. The year started with our Opens team
playing during Terms 1 and 2. They qualified for the semi-finals
and narrowly lost to St Andrew’s Cathedral School. Term 2 saw
the commencement of the Intermediate competition for students
in Years 8 and 9. We ran three teams in this division, with one
team qualifying for the semi-finals at the end of Term 3.
In Term 3 we were able to have three Year 7 teams play in the
Junior Division for the first time. Two of the teams qualified for the
semi-finals, one losing to eventual premiers, St Luke’s Grammar
School, and the other team with a five all draw to Balgowlah Boys
High School, who went through to the final as they had finished
higher on the competition table. We also have four Primary School
teams this year, which shows the depth of water polo interest at
the College. These boys play in a Development competition aimed
at introducing them to the sport.
