Year 12 Farewell Message
I
t is a difficult task as a Principal to write a
meaningful farewell message to graduating
Year 12 students. The most obvious problem is
that while I do this every year, you all do it once
only. The special significance of what it feels like
to complete twelve years of schooling can only be
imagined by those experiencing it. I have a dim
memory of release and relief, knowing that I
would never have to go back to school again! It
shows how wrong we can be about our future
directions. I hope you enjoy the feeling of
transition, of leaving the old and preparing to
embrace the new. I expect you may feel that you
have lost something too, a sense of really
belonging somewhere, of being connected to
place. You may have nostalgic reminiscences
about the matches or contests you were involved
in, of the teachers that you had, of the social
occasions you enjoyed.
Some of you, like I have, will carry friendships
made at school throughout your life. Others will
make a clean break and build new relationships at
university. I hope that all of you learnt a lot about
life and yourselves in the context of your academic
development. Bruce Springsteen, one of the
singer-songwriters of my youth declared that his
contemporaries “learnt more from a three-minute
record than we ever learnt in school”. I trust that
your time at High will have produced a more
penetrating and lasting impact than that.
It is common practice in schools to have a
publication as a memento of a passing-out
ceremony for Year 12 students. I am proud to be a
contributor to such a valedictory record of the
class of 2002. The lasting reminders will be the
portraits of your colleagues. I do not think that it is
my place to single out individuals in the year for
8
Dr K.A. Jaggar
special mention, however I think the work of
Mark, Justin and Richard has been terrific and has
helped make 2002 a memorable year. My dealings
with Year 12 have been nearly entirely positive.
To all of you who got involved and made the most
of the co-curricular opportunities at High and to
those who served the school so well in many
different ways, I offer my thanks.
As you assemble for the last time as a cohort
of scholars, please take with you my warmest
wishes for your academic and life success. On
behalf of the School Family, goodbye and good
luck to you all! It was a pleasure to be your
Principal.

SPEECH NIGHT
and
119th ANNUAL PRIZE GIVING
Tuesday 25 February, 2003
Occasional address by
Mr Phil Tresidder
Principal’s Address
[The following is an edited version of the address
given by the Principal at the Annual Speech Night
and Prize-Giving.]
D
istinguished guests, special guest Mr. Phil
Tresidder, members of staff, parents,
students and particularly the class of
2002, welcome to our 119th Speech Night. I
would like to thank all the people who have
worked to support and facilitate the achievements
we honour this evening. On a personal level, I
express my thanks to Dennis Briggs from the P &
C, John Kaldor and Andy Chow from the
Foundation, John Gerofi and most particularly, to
the tireless Bob Outterside, who ran the selection
criteria campaign last year with such dignity and
skill and who continues to work long hours for the
school on two sensitive and complex matters.
All the public attention last year was centred
on the selective criteria and process debate and us
not playing King’s at rugby. I believe the selection
criteria controversy brought back to life an issue
that the Minister was perhaps happy to see die in
February. Much debate in the press ensued. The
major issues have been canvassed in the High
Bulletin. Hopeful signs from the Discussion Paper
press release late last year are that coaching
colleges may be regulated and that a writing test
will be seriously piloted, after the results of a
previous flawed attempt were buried.
My colleague GPS Heads strongly supported
our continued participation in the rugby
competition. We have brokered a solution to the
rugby issue, with us fielding at least ‘A’ teams in
age groups 13-15 (and 16s able to play down if not
selected for first grade) and a first grade side. Our
place in the 16s competition will be filled by St.
10
Gregory’s at Campbelltown, as a short term
measure. Up to four of our second grade fixtures
may be played by TAS’s first grade, the rest by St.
Gregory’s. We hope to rebuild our playing
strength in 2003-4 as a result of these initiatives.
In reviewing what the school achieved in
2002, I am most pleased with the reduction in
HSC UAIs below 80 to 7.5%, significantly lower
than the than the figures for the last 5 years. Of
note is the increase in UAIs of 90 or above to 130
or 76.5% of reported UAIs. Our most pressing
performance goal is to reduce the percentage of
UAIs below 80 to zero and increase UAIs at 90 or
above to 80% within 3 years. 174 boys accepted
university places - two are going to TAFE and two
went into full time employment.
It was gratifying to observe the bedding down
of the Living Skills program for Years 7-10. Once
fully evaluated and refined, I believe this program
will assist in the culture change and redefinition of
masculinity that the school community is working
towards. We are gathered together as a community
of scholars. Our principal purpose is to prepare
students for high academic achievement. Respect
for persons should guide our behaviour.
Understanding of ourselves is a precursor to
understanding and valuing the diversity we find in
others. The Living Skills program is designed to
move us towards this ideal learning community.
We are planning to develop a study group concept
for the senior school, where groups of boys, under
the guidance of teacher mentors, will support each
other’s learning. We need to establish a more
caring and cooperative learning culture to raise
overall outcomes.
Our leadership program has also matured. An
effective relationship between the Student
Representative Council and the Prefects has
enhanced the status of and broadened the
participation in the leadership program. Peer
The Record 2002
Speech Night
Support and Mediation training have together
deepened our prospective leaders’ understanding
of the nurturing role of leadership.
The Student Award Scheme has been refined.
I am most heartened by the participation rates in
each year. Upwards of 50 boys per year are
qualifying for awards in a scheme which is
gradually becoming more rigorous. Our target is
one third of boys in each year, progressing through
from bronze awards in Year 7 to the impressive
trophies awarded here tonight to our recent
alumni.
I was encouraged by the way that staff tackled
the issue of how to enhance Band 6 HSC
performance across the board during
2002.Improved pedagogy will result. I was
pleased at the grouping experiments for structural
acceleration undertaken by a couple of
departments. I believe our use of purposeful
grouping into Year 7 and banding in other years
will bear fruit as we adapt our policy to the
disparate and individual learning needs of our
students. I have had a personal interest in
extending tertiary level courses to secondary
school students since I wrote on the subject to
academic boards at the major universities in 1999.
I was particularly pleased that the university
developed, dual accredited Mind and Morality one
unit course was organised as a joint venture with
Sydney Girls High, with very short notice towards
the end of the year. Our first semester delivery
model and joint hub school concept are ground
breaking. A class of 15 students commenced
yesterday. My thanks go to Mrs Varady for
inspiring so many of her girls to take the up the
challenge. I hope more of our boys do the same in
2003. We would like to attract science students to
the Problem Solving course for next year.
It was great to finish the Canteen
refurbishment. We can now boast a fine,
functional and regulation-compliant canteen.
Funds available for expenditure have increased
187% in the three years since 1999.
As usual at High, there are many group and
individual achievements worthy of our recognition
and acknowledgement tonight. Many have been
discussed in our weekly High Notes. Most will
appear in our 2002 Annual Report. I have selected
a sample to reflect the broad range of
achievement.

Christopher Budd’s four national medals at the
Queen’s Rifle competition and Nigel Panagopka’s
full scholarship at the Australian Institute of sport
for volleyball.
Our students have achieved in many areas of
endeavour. This short account has not done them
justice. I congratulate them all.
As is my custom, I will close with some
gratuitous advice for the class of 2002, this time
gleaned from Bruce Dawe’s social commentary in
a poem entitled, Before Plato.
We went, I think, in this country,
Straight from the cave
To the television set.
We missed out on those civilizing barbarities
in between.
We put down the club
And picked up the TV guide…
We switched from real life hunger, fear, cold,
To watching them on World Vision
commercials;
We let go of our enemy’s throat
And lost our grip on life.
12
Somebody called, back there, deep in the
shadows
- it could have been love, or hate, or just
plain loneliness,
but we were glassed off in a mini-series.
We stopped dreaming of falling.
And, instead,
Fell.
My message to the prize winners this evening,
especially to those we say farewell to, is informed
by Bruce Dawe’s concern that we experience life
to the full and not be satisfied with the voyeuristic
substitute of the manufactured images of lives of
others. We need to experience the process of life,
not get to a privileged position without doing any
hard yards. We need to get involved. We need to
understand our history and our culture in order to
make a worthwhile contribution to either. In a
multicultural Australia we should remember the
ancient traditions at the core of attempts to come
to terms with this land. I hope that your
achievements at High have shown you the value of
being part of a community, of participating in a
team and of striving with self-discipline towards a
worthy goal. I trust you have seen the value of a
broad perspective. I would like to think that you
have been influenced by and have contributed to,
the culture we have always prized here, namely
the pursuit of excellence with integrity. Hopefully,
you have been sensitised to the need for critical
self-reflection.
Tonight we rejoice in your success. We ask
that you take with you not only these symbols of
what you achieved but also fond memories of the
processes that are embedded in how and why you
were awarded them. Good luck to you all in your
future careers.
Dr K.A.Jaggar, Principal.

School Notes
Vale Adam Howard It was with great sadness
that the School learned of the death of Adam
Howard (who left the school in 1992) as a
result of the terrorist atrocity in Bali,
Indonesia, on 12 October 2002.
Glittering Prizes Amongst recent old boys to be
honoured for their academic achievement
were Andrew Bowman (University of Sydney
School of Mathematics, Head of School’s
Prize), K.D.Petersson (University of Sydney
School of Mathematics Prize in Level 2), and
Thomas Vogelgesang (University of Sydney
School of Computer Science and Engineering,
The Canon Information Systems Research
Australia Project Prize (shared)).
Access Assured The former washroom on the
northeast corner of the main building has been
fitted out as a diabled toilet and shower
facility, as part of works associated with
licensing the Great Hall as a ‘Place of Public
Entertainment’.
Found at Last The elusive “Tambourine Girl”,
an elegant marble bust on a marble column,
who once stood in the courtyard, but came to
grief as long ago as 1986 (see School Notes
1987) has been rediscovered in the pottery
room of the Visual Arts Department. Her longawaited repairs were arranged by Ms Freiya
McKellar-White shortly after her retirement as
Head Teacher Industrial Arts. The girl herself
now waits patiently for relocation to a more
public, but indoor, position of display.
Glittering Prizes II The University of Sydney
Union established Leadership and Excellence
Awards in 1992 to recognise individuals and
groups on campus who aim for more than just
academic qualification. The winner of the
2002 Individual Award for Leadership was
Peter Nicholas (96) for his leadership and
involvement in the SU Law Society,
Intervarsity Debating, and Law Revues. Peter
also won the Union Service Award for 2002.
In the Swim Stephen Hunt (1998) swam the
English Channel from Dover to Calais in
twelve hours and twelve minutes on 17 July,
with the help of a support crew which included
Daniel MacPherson (1997), who was a fellow
cast-member of Neighbours. Stephen’s swim
was the culmination of a concerted fundraising
campaign for The Aids Trust of Australia.

Cadet Unit Report
A
fter a close encounter in recent years with
the changing requirements of the modern
Army, the Cadet Unit has now resurged
and is set to engrave a new chapter in the history
of one of Australia’s oldest units.
A restructuring of the unit, under the
command of Capt John Fittler, has meant that the
cadet year will run in concurrence with the
economic annum. This alteration means that
graduates will be relieved of their duties before
their final examinations commence.
This year has seen a revival of the old hand in
hand connection between the unit and the rifle
club. One of the unit’s marksmen was chosen to
compete as part of the Australian Army Rifle
Team in 2001. This year saw three of the unit’s
marksmen tour to Bisley, United Kingdom, as part
of the very professional Australian Cadet Rifle
Team, of which Capt Fittler was the manager. It is
interesting to note that in the 1800s the rifle club
was originally run entirely by, and considered as a
branch of, the cadet unit itself.
The older members of the unit remember what
the unit was like before it was temporarily shut
down and hope that the unit will once again see a
day where there are over one hundred cadets on
parade every Tuesday afternoon. At the moment
the unit stands roughly forty strong.

Library Report
T
wo thousand and two has seen some major
upheavals and improvements in the library.
Last year proved to be a year of assessing
library usage and began with a report to the P&C
and the library’s input into the planning for the
new library building. Library staff priorities in
2002 have reflected their realisation that the
present space is woefully inadequate in size for a
school with students of our calibre. Our staff,
understanding that a new building is going to take
some time to eventuate, has literally carved a new
class space out of books. The library closed down
for one day in term 1 and three days in term 2
while the shelves were reconfigured. As the new
space began to emerge the staff, realising the
teaching potential and student use potential of this
space decided to place books over twenty-two year
old into a "stack". This took several weeks after
the three days of closure. The new quiet area –
featuring carrels – has since proved to be popular
with students and staff alike. (The actual creation
of the stack is projected to occupy library staff for
several terms to come. We have yet to assess how
useful it is to students.)
Two thousand and two also saw the
employment of Suet Kumar (mother of Raj in year
9) as a part-time archivist. Sydney Boys High is a
very historic school and our archives are very
precious both to Old Boys and present students
alike. Previously Joseph Waugh, who for years
very unselfishly volunteered his precious time
(Joseph was a former student archivist and is now
a lawyer) had single-handedly done a wonderful
job of organising the archives. Joseph is still very
much involved with the archives. Mrs Kumar has
had a very busy year organising the deployment
and listing of the archive assets and photographs.
She has also been commissioned by Dr Jaggar to
arrange for the permanent display of archive
material in the school entrance and in various
other areas. This has been done partly at the
request of the P&C who felt that students were

rarely able to appreciate the historical significance
of their archives as the room is shut most of the
time. Mrs Kumar also deals with the requests and
contacts Sydney High has with its ex-students. She
duly passes this information on to the staff of the
High Bulletin.
This year the library staff has been very
grateful for the invaluable voluntary assistance of
a group of fifty or more student-librarians and
student-archivists. These students embody the
spirit of voluntarism actively fostered by the
"award" system. Without the assistance of these
charming students the library staff would probably
have been distressed instead of delighted by the
hugely increased use being made of library
facilities this year. So far printing and
photocopying has brought in $1900. (This
amounts to 190,000 single transactions.) Staff (or
students and staff) have processed over 8000 loans
and 8000 returns. We estimate that we will reach
the 10,000 mark by December. During the day
seniors use the library all the time. There is no
time when there are less than 7-8 seniors studying
during free periods or using the computers. In
most periods at least twenty seniors are working in
the library. This year has also seen the increase we
hoped for in teacher use of Library facilities. At
last count 57% of periods had classes booked in. It
is to be hoped that the students continue to use the
library well. Our staff has also greatly appreciated
the help given by several volunteer mothers. These
mothers have assisted with the accessioning of
videos and the accessioning of websites onto the
OASIS catalogue. The library is looking forward
to continued voluntary assistance of interested
parents.
Sydney High boys library loan rates compare
very well with comparable ability girls schools.
Newspaper orders keep increasing – we are
ordering over 170 copies of the Herald for
individual students this term. If the boys and

Young Achievers
E
very year Young Achievers Australia holds
a Business Skills Program for year 11
students. The students are split up into
groups of 20-25, with each group having 1-5
advisers. The group then has to go about in
building a company. This involves the students
selling shares, making a product, selling that
product, advertising the product, and managing all
the paperwork, including writing up a business
plan and annual report among other things.
In 2002 there were over 300 groups Australia
wide, with twelve High boys participating. The
following are short summaries of the groups that
High students were involved in.
Andrew Hunt, Anthony Leong, William
Leung, and Naithan Raheja (Finance Director)
were all part of the group OnFyar sponsored by
AMP. They produced hand cream and their
company won the NSW Annual Report Award,
being National Runners-Up in the same category.
Matthew Lam and David Yang (Human
Resources Director) were both part of Kaishya
sponsored by Rockdale City Council. They made
key chains and won two awards at the Trade Fair:
Retail Operations Award and Product
Knowledge/Sales Process Award (joint).
Fai Lam was a member of Khaluya sponsored
by Ryde Business Forum and Ryde City Council.
His company made jewellery and won the
Marketing Award at the Trade Fair.
Jackson Fan, Max Kletski (Managing
Director), Axel Levitan, Krishna Sivanesan, and
Vivek Subramanian were all part of Yamade
sponsored by the Australian School of Business
and Technology. This company produced various
styles of cargo belts and also imported keyring
lights. Yamade won the Product Knowledge/Sales
Process Award (joint) at the Trade Fair.
All the above mentioned High boys learnt
various things from the six month course, and
even made a little bit of money out of the
operation. The course taught us all a bit about the
running of a business. It will be interesting to see
how many of the twelve end up as successful
businessmen.

Music Department
T
he music department has seen considerable
growth this year especially in the String
Orchestra and jazz Ensemble Program.
This year we have ensembles including Training
Concert Band, Intermediate Concert Band, Senior
Concert Band, and Symphonic Wind Ensemble for
the highly advanced students. In the string
program, we have Training String Orchestra,
Symphony Orchestra and the Senior String
Ensemble for advanced students. We have four
Jazz bands including Dixieland Band, Junior Stage
Band, Intermediate Stage Band and Senior Stage
Band. Guitar students can participate in one of two
guitar ensembles, beginner and advanced.
Music at Sydney Boys High is developing at
every level, particularly incorporating a valuable
training program to enable all boys to learn an
instrument starting in year seven and progressing
through each ensemble through to the top level.
We also have a Chamber Choir which has grown
to over thirty boys and the Small Group Vocal
Ensemble. To assist the String and Jazz program,
we held a number of weekend workshops with
guest tutors to work with the boys in an intense
time with a concert at the conclusion.
Annual Music Camp, Training Camp.
We held a training camp for the new
instrumentalists in April. There were fifty boys in
attendance with eight tutors. The boys stayed at
the Outterside Centre overnight and at the
conclusion of camp we held a concert for parents
and friends.
Annual Music Camp was held at Stanwell
Tops Conference Centre and was attended by over
130 musicians and over 25 tutors and staff. At the
conclusion of the camp, there was a spectacular
and memorable concert for family and friends.
We had two showcase concerts, the Winter
Music Festival and the Spring Music Spectacular.
Both concerts were held over two nights as there
was so much music to showcase. Here is the

Senior Grade Chess
Senior grade Chess in 2002 has not been as
successful as it could have been, due to the lack of
dedication of the talented players. As a result, the
teams were not graded this year, and there were
mixed teams.
Throughout the Inter-School chess
competition held every Friday afternoon, only one
team out of the five senior teams qualified for the
knockout stage. Convincing 4-0 thrashings of
Grammar B, St. Mary’s, Marcellin, and St.
Catherine’s gave us sufficient points to proceed to
the next stage. Unfortunately, because we were the
lowest seeded team in the finals, we were
scheduled to play the number one seed and
eventual winners – Sydney Grammar A. We put
up a determined effort, but could only manage half
a point in our 1/2 - 31/2 loss. That loss halted our
enjoyable season in which all players made great
contributions, including Kyle Solomon who left
the school just before the finals began. As a result
of Kyle’s departure Opal Wu filled in for the team.
The First Grade Chess team for 2002 is from
Fourth board: Charles Qin, Sahan Dasanayaka,
Kyle Solomon, and Thien Vuong.
Eight Sydney High senior chess players
were selected to represent their school in the
annual GPS versus CAS representative match. But
only five of them managed to turn up because the
match was held during our exam week. They
were: Daniel Ng, Jeremy Charles, Bryan Wu,
Hugh James and Thien Vuong. The lack of
commitment from our players once again made
this contest tougher than it should have been. At
the end of the evening, CAS took advantage of our
lower boards and won 91/2 - 81/2.

First Grade Debating
S
ydney High First Grade Debating had a
phenomenally successful season in 2002,
recapturing the Hume Barbour CHS trophy
and narrowly missing out on the GPS premiership.
The success of the team can be ascribed to the
dedication, hard work and teamwork of the team,
comprised of David Carter as first speaker, Tim
Davis Frank as second speaker, and Alex Gruszka as
third speaker, along with the always invaluable Alex
McCauley as fourth speaker and perennial supporter.
The volatile and curious chemistry between
these very different speakers combined to create a
synthesis of dynamic intelligence, coupled with a
fierce rhetorical style. This tonic of talent swept all
before it in an unbeaten season, excepting only
stubborn Riverview and the anomalous loss to
Newington. But the hidden ingredient in this
mysterious concoction was our brilliant and
benevolent coach, Dr Joseph Suttie, who kindly
donated his time from his already overworked
schedule to teach we mere mortals the art of
debating, and much of our success we owe to him.
Our other supporters who require thanks are
Mrs Betsy Berger, who tirelessly transported us to
debates, and was always ready to regale us with
tales. We also thank Mr Michael Selway for his
efforts in co-ordinating debating for the year.
In representative roles, David Carter and Alex
Gruszka were both selected in the NSW State
Debating Squad. Alex Gruszka and Tim Davis
Frank were selected in the GPS representative
team, but honourably declined. David Carter
represented the CHS team which went on the
defeat the GPS team, obviously devoid of talent
due to the decline of Alex and Tim.
We leave to Sydney High debating our legacy
of success, as the mantle has been passed from past
generations, we hope it shall be carried by future
generations to come, so Sydney High’s success in
the field of debating will forever burn brightly.
David Carter.
Second Grade Debating
Two thousand and two marks the first opens
season for our year. It is a big step up, so, despite
having gone into the year having been undefeated
winners in the 2001 GPS season, we knew we
were in for tough competition. St Ignatius College
choose to put their best junior teams in the
independent schools’ competition, and so
therefore this was to be our first season debating

Debating
the team that would prove most challenging.
Under the wily coaching of Oscar McLaren old boy of the undefeated 2000 side - we went into
all debates very thoroughly prepared: and there
certainly was plenty to know about. In between
Iraq, Kyoto and Stem Cells, we got into the
complex issues surrounding media ownership and
paid maternity leave. In true Sydney Boys High
style, we had an edge in all debates in terms of
general knowledge and depth of understanding.
A shock loss in the second week to Shore was
a major wake up call for us, but despite this we
managed quite solid wins against Joey’s and
Newington. Kings, unbeknownst to us, put
forward an unexpectedly strong reselected side
against us, in an attempt to at least win seconds. Of
course it remained unbeknownst to us until after
the debate, as we easily affirmed the case that “the
Democrats should move further to the right.”
An absence of myself proved no problem as
the team moved speaking positions to put up a
very good fight to Grammar, before losing a
decision that could have easily gone either way.
So, we had already lost our chances at retaining
the premiership when we prepared to do battle
against the undefeated Riverview, but we
nonetheless put up a very strong fight, losing in a
split decision, and giving them the best fight they
experienced through the season.
In the CHS competitions, we won through to
the round of sixteen in the Commonwealth Bank
Senior competition, only to be very unfortunate
losers in an ambiguous debate. In the Year 11 Karl
Cramp competition, therefore, we were very eager
to do very well. This we did: winning the regional
final against Sydney Girls. So it was that we came
up against Penrith High in the State Semi-final,
only to lose to them on the day, despite having a
better approach to the debate. Penrith were the
eventual winners of the competition, so we were
very unlucky not to go the whole distance.
The other year eleven debaters, consisting of
Tom Petty, Paul Rajkumar, Max Kletski, Albert
Bielinko and Axel Levitan, won more debates than
they lost, and continued through the season to
argue (ironically) much more successfully against
the second-graders in coaching sessions, than against
other schools in the third grade competition. They
too have thoroughly enjoyed the season.
The team of Evan Solomons, Angus Ng,
David Grenet, and myself went through the whole
season riding a steep learning curve. Our abilities
to speak and react under pressure have improved
immensely, and we have come out seasoned and
skilful debaters, ready to strive hard for the
challenge and triumph of first grade.

We started to get coached by our legendary
University student Ashley. At the start of the year,
we weren’t very steady but as the year progressed
we gradually grew more confident and increased
our skills on how to debate. As the GPS season
started, we had our foundations set and were ready.
The season was good as we won a few but
sometimes we were unlucky. The season altogether
was good and we can’t wait until next year.

Third Eleven
breaking through in times of need.
The Year:
T
he Third XI began the year confidently
after pushing Shore in an early trial game,
losing in the final over. With possibly the
best looking squad in the GPS, Sydney High often
had the sidelines packed with attractive young
ladies, and entered the GPS season eager to put on
a show.
High did not disappoint with the bat, with
Akash and Sachin battling hard, and Fat Matt and
Sam A recording many well rounded innings.
Senthuran and Will came in late in the innings, and
from the traditional batting positions of 10 and 11,
often doubled the score with some fine shots into
the trees, the car park, and then into the hands of
the opposition fielders. High then demolished the
opposition in the bowling department, with the
entire team taking wickets during the season.
The season not only started, but finished on a
High note, and High recorded no less than 0
victories, undoubtedly a GPS record, although
they were robbed of victory in almost every match
due to dubious decisions and roughed up pitches.
For victories, refer to the 2000/2001 3rd grade
report and read about the game against arch rivals
Newington.
Player Profiles
Special mentions must go to the entire squad:
Matt Hii and Ken Liu, who choose to wake up
a bit earlier than the rest of us and open the batting,
the most unpopular position in the team, and
played a few outstanding innings. They both also
picked up handy wickets. Ken, the provider of
snacks (cookies, cake, jelly) for tea on occasions,
also showed potential as a keeper.
Sachin Kumar (vc), Sachin’s cricket mind was
of great use to a captain who couldn’t even
remember the match ball, and was only elected as
captain for his ability to carry the kit to the game.
Also a great allrounder.
Akash Aggarwal, after being disappointingly
dropped to seconds, Akash bounced back with
some superb innings, including a 65 against Joeys, to
see him only a run or two short of the batting award.
Sam Anderson, Sam was solid as a rock in the
top order, and after swapping his keeping gloves
for the ball, proved a valuable wicket taker, often
Matt Mulroney, Matt showed why he has
made several large innings in the GPS with a few
well rounded innings and stunning footwork. His
bowling was almost as good as his sledging from
the slips, which often had the batsmen getting out
just to escape him.
Sidath Weerasinghe, Squid always rocked up
ready to bat, and whether he was required as a left
hander or a right hander, he always gave his best.
His bouncers often upset opposition batsmen, and
hit no few than four different grammar players on
the helmet in one game.
Senthuran Eswaralingam, Jimbo likes a tonk
and showed it, with not one defensive stroke all
year, his all or nothing style paid dividends, with
opposition bowlers deciding to get him out just to
stop him. Jimbo’s bowling was also amazing, with
his 5/27 against Joeys coming to mind, he was the
worthy recipient of the bowling award.
Lachlan Drummond, Trousers was always
dependable with the bat, but his bowling shone
out. The unluckiest bowler in the GPS he averaged
four dropped catches per match, and if it wasn’t
for this, would have been a force to be reckoned
with.
William Clarke (c), the captain leading by
example taking several spectacular catches in the
season off cracking shots (often off his own
inaccurate bowling). With his “slower ball” being
faster than other GPS openers, Clarke’s pace was
a formidable weapon in the High bowling attack.
The captain also showed a talent with the bat, not
scoring runs close to Ken’s maths marks, but also
strategically placing the ball over the fence so that
it was lost in the bushes, buying High some
valuable time. Clarke is the deserving winner of
the team batting award.
Mugunthan Gunasingham, hardly ever
showed up due to his State netball commitments,
but when he did was a superstar.
Ben Lonsdale, Helped out when his 1st VIII
commitments would allow, and bowled well
against Grammar, with four wickets.
Nirupan Yoganathan, the tennis player often
showed up after tennis to lend a hand.
Sam Bradley, perennial summer sport bludger,
Mohammed played one game against Riverview
eager for a fight. He didn’t get a chance in the first
innings as he was dismissed instantly, however in
The Record 2002

the second innings his footwork floated like a
butterfly, and also stung the opposition like a bee,
with no fewer than 16 byes coming from missed
strokes, he scored 0.
Alex McCauley, A late arrival, added plenty of
depth to the High bowling line up.
Nick Kelly, Kez got promoted from seconds
late in the season after some strong performances,
and showed he was up to the third grade level with
some fine innings.
Daniel Song, used his (large) head in the field
with a few fine saves.
Mark Nam, picked up a few wickets in his two
games, and would have excelled had he put in a
solid preseason.

matches that brought the team alive. With four wins
to our credit, we ousted Third XI’s stranglehold on
their tough 2-win record this season. These
memorable matches include St. Joseph’s, Sydney
Grammar, Riverview and Newington.
Newington College
Cricket training consisted of regular trips to
PC cafes - William Phu was well known to have
learnt the art of bodyline bowling from such
games as Cricket 97. Playing on our natural talent,
Fourth XI ventured into the GPS season to test out
quality players.
Festivities began with High fielding players
borrowed from Third XI whilst they batted against
Shore. Patrick Bazin showed fine displays of
bowling all day, with two wickets in his bag, and
a couple of heads from his gunfire deliveries.
Sidath Weerasinghe expanded his horizons with a
two-for, in two spells. A fine performance when
his back played tricks all day.

of events, I shall be focusing on the highlights - the

gracefully for 136. Sam Anderson at third slip
made the catch of the day. After two unsuccessful
attempts at converting, Sam pulled off a classic
“Tubby Taylor” catch, leaping high to snag a
blazing scorcher. The batting, (or shooting range)
sparked fires with a one-hour opening stand.

Jonathan Moore impressed with a 27. Brenavan,
Bala and Daniel fired 20s in steady style as we
reached 128 in a close final over. This match saw
us just missing the target by 8 runs!
St. Joseph’s College
On a sunny and windy afternoon at Kippax we
saw an extremely fast outfield and by far it was a
most surprising day ahead. Winning the toss
against Joey’s we took to batting with no openers
- a major blip in the day!
After a bit of coercing, the regular number
eleven batsman came into an amusing opening
stance. After a shaky first couple of overs, the runs
came steady with Andrew Hall and I (also no. 11)
at the helm of the run fiesta. We were playing
“Who wants to be a Sitting Duck (Millionaire)” at
the centre. I was in the hot seat. The bowler
pitched, and there came a dropped catch at slips. A
second lifeline slipped as a high ball was caught
off a full toss. Halfway back to the pavilion shade
saw me being given not out by Mr. Hall – caught
off a no ball. Two balls later saw the same
situation with a caught and bowled instead – back
to the pavilion I go. Arriving back came a call for
no ball yet again. The fourth and unlikely lifeline
was an attempt of a runout - close, and barely in.
Drinks came and saw our stand at the end of the
first session at 1/80. The processional walk back to
the crease was talked about throughout the day...
I finished my innings an over after drinks with
an opening knock of 42 and went on to watch
Andrew’s cracker of an innings at 71 not out. A
great display of shots and whips, especially with
two sixes off the last over saw us heading to a
grand total of 158. We didn’t have to tell Andrew
it was time for a final smash - he took it under his
belt and charmed with all possible wonders. Theso
came out with solid 23.
With players being stolen by the Third XI, we
felt the pinch as the Joey’s opening stand raced to
0/110 by drinks. A runout by Theso sparked the
downfall of the Joey’s innings, also ending a great
innings by opening batsmen Gurr at 67. Lang fell
soon after under the deceptive pace and originality
of the Andrew Hall ball for an LBW at 37.
Andrew’s mystery ball is even scarier - haunting
the likes of top batsmen and umpires. One time it
was noted to be an apple Hally dropped from his
pockets... Pat Bazin and Jonno Moore made their
spells enlightening and entertaining for a weary,
number exhausted team. The day was a spin! Those
four quick wickets couldn’t keep us snatching
defeat, a most gallant fight to the death...Jonno,
still smiling despite painful injuries incurred.
Special thanks to Tim and Dave from the
14C’s team in helping us field on short notice.
Grammar 2001
The Gentlemen’s XI have struck down the
black and gold - not just in rugby but also in
cricket! The morning’s weather turned bad as
thunderstorms flashed portentously around
Sydney. It cleared to a hot humid afternoon at
McKay. We didn’t seem to have the numbers until
the final minute of the start when the last
“Gentlemen” finally turned up in full numbers.
Grammar won the toss and sent us to bowl at them
in a steamy spring day. Our launch pad seemed to
shine today with rockets firing in all directions
Theso (2/7), Ben Trewin (3/15) and Roshan (2/3)
tantalised their batting order with their unorthodox
spinnifex of bowling. Grammar went down showing
fighting spirit to defend an all out 110. With
players being stolen again the High Gentlemen
came into the batting scene starting with a clumsy
runout. High cruised to the top of the mountain as
the big “V” caned 15 from 2 overs.
Daniel came to the crease and he expected to
knock a couple left and right. Instead a Grammar
chancer tried to throw down the stumps but took
the back of Dan’s head. Will he ever be as smart
as before? Dan asks, “Am I out?” Bruised and out
in the heat and for the rest of the day - but not out.
When Andrew Hall came to the crease we knew
Grammar were done for. After his performance of
72 against St Joseph’s, Hally smite a few to the
longest boundaries we’ve ever setup up at McKay.
Along with Mark Bayliss steadying the helm we
eventually came home with the bacon reaching the
devil’s number of 111 with 10 overs to spare. A
great revenge in the name of Daniel!

stars outscoring the normal cricketers - Roshan
Kumaragamage, Mark Bayliss, Perlon Leung,

total of 200 that seemed far from reach. Some
glimmer of hope came as Anthony opened the
batting and crunched 38 off the opening 3 overs.
Dominos fell with cricketers alongside them as the

Mostafa took his first wicket on this day and it
wasn’t his last, batting and bowling for us later on
in the season - taking three wickets with his threepointer bowling style.

The final showdown - the hoojoo - the
divaaaaaaa game. Reg Bartley is one of my
favourite playing fields. Reg Bartley is next to
Rushcutter’s Bay, sporting long boundaries and a
hard cracking pitch, fluffing up dust every ball.
Amidst the dust storms, the sweet sea breeze
rushes in to kill the heat. On that final match of our
careers, a wedding took place near the white
picket fence surrounding the oval. We mustered a
full team to give them a guard of honour with
Grammar. We came into bowl first and wickets
fell for a mere 37. William Phu sporting the most
damage with his 5 wicket haul for 8. Then came
batting as we let loose a normal batting line-up of
Theso and Hally reaching their target with ease.
Time - 11am. We decided to sport a second
innings. A determined Grammar team scored 67
with Willy (Phoo-bear) taking 4/15. Batting out
the short 12 over match, we were struggling with
the line of Grammar bowling. When Abhilash
entered the crease, he smeared a quick road to
guide us to a convincing win over Grammar in the
final over of the innings. Phoo-bear, the hero
taking out nine wickets alone in this match,
walked away every time asking “can we go home
yet?”
Thank you to Mr. Hall this year for all his hard
work umpiring tough matches and when the
occasion arose for trouble, he’d be in the thick of
the fighting...
This is the Gentlemen’s XI. It’s not about
winning or losing or the outcome to achieve: it’s
about the true passion of the sport, the heart of
High Spirit, Sportsmanship and Barbies with
Grammar. I remember it’s these games that bring

The 2001 2002 season of High cricket was
very successful for the 14As. In the GPS season
we won Three games (Iggies, Scots, and Kings),
lost three games (Joeys, Shore, and Grammar)
with our game against Newington being cancelled
due to weather. In a lot of games we were missing
players but we battled on and ended up with a
season which we were proud of.
Our GPS season started with a solid win
against St Ignatius. We bowled first and Gary Ngo
ran through the opposition line-up taking 6/29. Being
set 163 for victory was no easy task but we started
well with Eddy Pham blazing 47 and signalling
what was to come. However Rajeevan stole the
show with a classy 54 as we coasted to 192 and our
first win of the season. Naeef batted well again.
74
Keen to do well after our first round win we
came up against a very tough Joeys side who beat
us outright. We started well taking 6/45 before
they got away from us to reach 159 with Faraz
leading an average performance in the field with
2/9. We batted poorly (99) and Joeys decided to
bat again and go for outright. This time we didn’t
crack their top order and they reached 3/135.
Batting to save the game was always going to be
hard against the Joeys destructive attack and was
made harder with Naeef being away. We were
bowled out for 79 with only Pham rising make 33.
The last game of Term 4 was played with a
severely depleted team with Faraz, Mark
Samarasinghe, and Naeef all absent. Therefore we
got the 13As captain Edward Hibbert, and the
twins Thariq and Malik also from the 13As to
come and play for us. We batted well on a small
ground making 215. Hibbert made 36 in a cool
calculated innings, with Pham his usual aggressive
self making 40, and Adrian Jeyendra playing a
positive innings of 59. We again started the
bowling well leaving them 6/83 with an evenly
distributed wicket haul until they rallied to 232 to
win the game. They sent us back in and we batted
out to the end with Eddy Blaxell and Gary making
45 and 30 respectively.

After two successive losses we were keen to
beat the team from Parramatta and we managed to
in a nail-biter. We batted first and ten of our team
members combined to compile 35 runs. However
we made 186 as the brightest talent of High cricket
blazed away the highest score of the season, a
beautiful 109 off 116 balls. Eddy Pham massacred
the opposition bowling and single handedly won
the game for us. When we came out the next week
for our day in the field we were pumped and
showed it having Kings 5/19 before they fought
back. However unlike all the other times this
happened we didn’t give up and managed to
dismiss them for 172. In the second best
performance of the game Naeef got 5/19 off 15
overs swinging the ball all over the place. In this
game we had Jack Sun and Chong Shiao play for
us as Martin was in Canada and wouldn’t be back
that term.
Against Scots the next week we continued our
winning form with ten men in a low scoring
match. We bowled Scots out for 64 with Naeef
again displaying his brilliance taking 5/16. We
went into bat and secured first innings points on
the first day with 79. The next week we were
looking for outright and were confident even
though we only had nine players as Naeef was not
playing along with Martin. However it was not to
be as Scots exploited the gaps in the field to
declare at 6/128 with myself taking 4/50. We were
again given the job of saving the game as there
was no time to win. We did this with the loss of
only three wickets.
The last game of the season was against the
very good Shore team who had beaten us soundly
in the trial game at the beginning of the season.
We had the Blaxell clan helping out as D’Arcy
(under 13s), and Chester (lOyrs old) played for us.
Ravi from the under 15s was also helping out. This
game was a lot closer than the trial and we kept
them to 3/163 with everyone getting a bowl and
Chester taking a wicket. It was then our turn to bat
and we reached 5/116 at stumps. I top scored with
36 and Pham added to his already impressive
average with 23.
This year’s season could not have been nearly
as successful as it was without Kieran Lewis and
Robin Alexander, our Year 12 coaches. These two
were there nearly every Wednesday and Friday for
training and would pop into our games when not
playing for firsts or seconds. A very big thanks to
both of them.
Overall this season was an enjoyable one and
we should do very well next season.

to be harder than the teams that we played before.
F
or the first half of the season we were called
the 14Ds, and we seemed to play teams that
fitted that category fairly well. We beat
Newington College in our first game, and although
they did give us a run for our money; we
eventually won by 24 runs. Our next game saw us
give Riverview’s 14Ds a thrashing. We dismissed
them for a diminutive total of 18. We went on to
declare when the score reached 104 for 6 after 23
overs. That was by far our best win for the whole
season. Another of our games that we played
under the 14Ds name was against Scots College.
This was slightly disappointing as were dismissed
for 114 after being sent in to bat. Scots College
went on to beat our score with seven wickets still
remaining. They did have only one over left,
though, so it was a good tight game. I hasten to
add that it had been deemed fit for us to play their
14Bs side so we were up against our hardest
opponents yet.
We travelled through into the second half of
the season with high hopes. We were going to be
Our first game was against Kings School. This
game proved as a harsh reminder as to what the
standard would be like. We were dismissed for a
small score, by our standards, of 62, with only one
player reaching double figures (Edward with 13).
They passed our score with only four wickets gone
and quite a few overs still to spare. After that, the
rest of our season seemed to go down hill. We
managed to lose the rest of our games. One of the
weeks, Edward Hibbert played in the 14As. He
scored 35 in a game which the 14As lost to
Grammar.
At the end of the year when the awards were
handed out, there were no real surprises. Gajaba
Manamperi won the Bowling Award. This was
expected as he had given many good performances
over the games, getting a couple of five wicket
hauls. Edward Hibbert managed to get the Batting
Award although it was thought that Sahir Syed
might have taken that award. Ashan Wijiyaratne
took the Coach’s Award which he deserved as he
had supported the team throughout the season.

winning result is unparallel to the satisfaction of
watching the members of his crew grow and
mature.
[the following is an edited version of the speech
given by the Captain of Boats at the Annual
Rowing Assembly.]
The season has travelled incredibly quickly.
For myself and the other year twelves it will be our
last Head of the River, and a culmination of a
journey that will have spanned up to five years, but
it is not the days we remember but the moments.
Those special moments when the water is dead
flat, the sun is yet to rise and the blades are not
touching the water. Or sometimes they are in the
shed when you are surrounded by your closest
friends having a laugh. From a personal
experience, rowing has enabled me to build
friendships that are incredibly strong as they have
been formed under tough and pressured situations
and I am sure this is true of everybody in the shed.
W
hy Row? Merv Wood answered this
question by saying it was the challenge,
the need to train throughout your career
religiously every night from Monday to Friday and
on weekends for hours - wind, rain or heat did not
alter that regime. There was no coach to drive him
on, only his own dogged determination. “It was
not the killer instinct” he said, “but it was the will
to win.” For those of you who do not know Merv
is a Sydney High old boy whose international
career spanned twenty-two years; he competed in
four Olympic games winning three medals and
five Commonwealth Games, winning five medals.
He also won eight Australian championships,
more than twenty NSW titles and represented
NSW in twelve Kings Cup Regattas.
What is rowing at school boys level about?
Rowing is not solely about winning as Rick
Clother, rowing coach at USNA said, “Rowing is
more than a fast boat on race day - it’s a
complementary experience to a young man’s
intellectual development.”
Rowing, like success, is a journey not a
destination, it’s about learning, having fun and
most of all it’s about growing as individuals. If
this is achieved the wins and losses will take care
of themselves.
Unlike many sports, which finish when the
whistle blows or the ball is packed away, rowing
is one that encompasses all aspects of your life.
This year the senior A squad has had two camps a
week resulting in crew members spending more
time at the sheds than they spend awake at home.
Rowing also provides you with unique life
experiences that cannot be provided by playing
computer games or spending hours on the internet.
This can be seen in the First Eights trip to the
National Championships where we were able to
meet and interact with so many different schools
from all over Australia. However, if you want
more information on that you should talk to
Simmo.
From a coach’s perspective rowing at school
boy level, while providing unique challenges, can
be very rewarding. Mr Barris once told me that a
For anyone to succeed in anything, there must
be a huge amount of dedication and commitment
towards their goal. Some people who don’t
dedicate their lives to succeed in something
question this commitment, but remember
everybody gets twenty-four hours in a day - it’s
the only thing that is equal and it is what you do
and achieve with these twenty-four hours that
counts. In the case of rowing there must be an
underlying dedication from all ten members of the
crew, being the eight rowers, the coxswain and the
coach, and in the case of the fours all six members.
This commitment and determination is spread
throughout the shed, this is spurred on by the fact
that rowing is an incredibly enjoyable sport and
while it is hard work it is not all about pushing
your body to the brink of exhaustion.
If you have heard someone talk about rowing
they will have said it’s about pain, however this is
not true. Pain is hammering a nail into your head.
Rowing is just about physical discomfort; the crew
that can handle the most discomfort on the day
will win the Head of the River.
For those of you who have never been to a
Head of the River, you have no idea how big it is.
It is huge. It is easily the biggest event in the GPS
calendar, attracting more than 20,000 spectators.
While it is compulsory for the boys of the most of
the seven other schools, Scots, Newington,
Grammar, Shore, St Ignatius’, Kings and St
Joseph’s to attend they would turn up anyway.
This creates an atmosphere that is unrivalled.
Each year the standard of the GPS competition
improves dramatically. It happens in Rugby,
The Record 2002
81
Rowing
cricket, soccer, water polo and any other sports
you can name. Rowing is no different as most
crews put on the water during a season would be
capable of winning the Head of the River the
previous season.
In relative terms rowing is the most
competitive sport in the GPS. Last year the Kings
first eight who won the Head of the River, then
went on the win the National Championships and
the Schoolboy World Championships in Henley
England.
This year GPS crews filled the top four places
in the nationals. Our First VIII itself came back
from the nationals as the seventh ranked U19
men’s crew in Australia.
To the year 7s and I speak from experience:
you cannot truly comprehend what this is all
about, for it is something that you must experience
for yourself. I urge you to give rowing a go and
stick with it until your first Head of the River, you
will be hooked.
To the rest of the school, these guys that you
will see before you have been training for five
years for this one race. It means everything in GPS
rowing. They have dedicated their lives so they
can represent your name, but every year we get
psyched up for those who do not support us, we
always feel a hint of disappointment at the fact that
everyone of our rivals is represented and cheered
on by at least a thousand supporters while Sydney
High sometimes has about two hundred. This year
we want to feel that we have our school, you guys
behind us. We want your support, don’t let us
down.
And finally to the rowers the most significant
message I can convey to you is to just row the
race. Think about the process and don’t dwell on
the result until it’s history. Not everybody wins
and certainly not everybody wins all the time. But
once you get into your boat, push off and paddle
down to the start of the Head of the River, you
have indeed won far more than those who have
never tried.

Second Eight
I
am proud to have had this season as my last
season of rowing with Sydney High. We
achieved results, but more importantly we had
fun. At the start of the season, we were rowing
very, very poorly. But with the wisdom of coach
Len McPherson (who had previously been coach
of Australian State Crews, and Australian
Olympic crews) we learnt to row well.
In our first regatta, our crew came third in
our heat, having the St Josephs crew that came
second beating us by 0.3 seconds. Our entire crew
dreamt of great things ahead. Unfortunatley due to
injuries and crew changes, our crew was
reshuffled and were beaten miserably in our next
race. This trend of defeat was continued for the
next few regattas but morale was kept high by the
general happiness of the crew. We had characters
such as Brett and Eugene there to keep our morale
up. Brett and Thien would keep us all entertained
with their immature antics, whilst in times of
despair Eugene kept our morale high, telling us
“not to think like that” after losing dismally and
claiming that we were going to lose again ¬ a
drastic change from his outlook on the crew at the
start of the season. But once again Len’s coaching
ability got us rowing well again, but once again we
were to suffer crew changes. And once again we
were back to rowing poorly. This time Len’s
super-coaching was aided by the help of
Australian Olympic rower Bo Hanson and
Olympic coach Tim McLaren. We learnt to row,
again, and in the second last race of the rowing
calendar, the prestigious St Ignatius Gold Cup
Regatta, we were to pull off an upset, placing
second in our heat, beating Newington and
Grammar.
Our new crew, [from bow] Hamish Nairn,
Matt Louie, Thien Vuong, Louis Charalambous,
Jay Jools, Leo Raikhman, Eugene Hooi, and
myself Shane Talbot in stroke, with coxswain Jack
Tam, turned out to work magic. We went into the

but as sad as that day was, we had a great season
to look back on. From the start to finish the season
was filled with good times, fond memories, and of
course entertaining camps. Every member of our
crew played their part in what was to be known as
the “Happy Crew”, and our coxswain, Jack Tam,
was making sure the entire world new this, as he
was not once seen without a smile on his face.
Even when Eugene pushed him out of the boat into
the cold, early morning Parramatta River water.
And just for the record, the St Josephs crew that
beat us by 0.3 seconds in the first regatta was the
crew that went on to win the Gold Cup Regatta
and the AAGPS Head of the River.

T
he Sydney High Year 9 Fourth Quad had a
very successful season. The main reason
for this was a great (lazy) coach, Mike
Martin. He made us work very hard most of the
time. Runs and ergs were one of his favourite ways
to keep us fit. Without his long, inspiring
motivational speeches, our quad would have gone
nowhere.
The Fourth Quad contained Alan Dam at bow,
Edward Ovadia in the two seat, Ben Stamati in the
three seat, Josh Scharfegger as Stroke and Savva
Dobrinski as the coxswain.
This quad worked hard, hardly complained
and won most of the time. We were a well
balanced quad, with Alan able to keep time well
and Edward giving helpful advice on what we
were doing wrong. They were an excellent,
lightweight bow pair. The stroke pair consisted of
strength, timing and a good attitude towards
pushing it to the limit. Ben was the brick of the
quad and he was always making sure that we did
not lag behind in races - even it did mean looking
out of the boat, much to Savva’s disgust.
Josh Scharfegger was the motivator of the
quad, making sure the boys didn’t lose heart
during hard times. He also kept steady, constant
time. Savva was the main reason we won so many
times, with his steering being smart, precise and
smooth. He had many good things to say to boost
us in the race, but we couldn’t hear him because he
was too quiet. This was overcome in the late stages
of the season’s races, when we threatened to throw
him in if he didn’t yell louder. This was a good
wake up call, so from then on we were blown
away with his bellowing.
Come Gold Cup time, we were all very unsure,
nervous and downright scared. This is where
Mike, our coach, gave us that lift to make these
feelings disappear and we were a confident,
prepared team, ready to take on Shore, our main
worry.
The race was a tough, tough battle between us
and Shore, with both quads neck and neck. We

gave it our all, but that proved to be insufficient for
the successful Shore quad. We were a close
second, by half a boat length. That will help us
with the next season, when we will put everything
we can, and even more, into it.
We will not settle to be second best next time.
The Fourth Year 9 Quad will be back, and ready
for the great Head of the River.

We improved considerably from our
beginnings, and we turned into a great quad with
almost perfect timing. We had a very successful
season, with mostly second places and a few third
places in races. However, we had the misfortune
of having two Shore crews in our division, which
prevented us from winning at least two of our
races. We were also the only crew to have the
honour of catching a mullet, named Bluey, while
rowing. He leapt into our boat while rowing and
wedged himself in there until we could get back to
the pontoon. We made the A division of the gold
cup final, but due to bad luck, we came fourth out
of five crews.

Second Year 8 Quad
T
he First Year 8 Quad had a tough but
unsuccessful rowing season. Attending six
of the seven GPS school regattas, the
rowers experienced pressure and disappointment.
Consisting of Romesh Abeysuriya (cox), Jongha
Lee (bow), Roger Burrell (2 man), Douglas Chang
(3 man), and Quinton Yang (stroke), these amateur
rowers underwent intensive training and discipline
which helped them create the basic fundamentals
of being a great rower.
Quinton Yang and Roger Burrell achieved
huge ergometer scores (829 and 842 respectively,
for three minutes). Douglas Chang achieved a
moderate score of 810 (which is a factor that he
will need to improve on). Jongha Lee, a promoted
rower from the Year 8 Second Quad, amazingly
achieved an outstanding erg score of 811. Overall,
the members look forward to continuing with the
competitive fitness test in the next season.
Originally, the crew included Ellis Louie and
Attila Szabo (later members of the Second Quad).
Our coach, Mr Gary McIvor studied performances
and reconstructed the two quads, which didn’t
make much of a difference. Both Quads have
shown high talents and enthusiasm in the sport,
which was largely due to their being happy with
their boat positions.
In the seven GPS regattas, we were never
victorious. Unfortunately, we were delayed by
rough waters, and missed the school’s regatta.
Everybody was greatly disappointed but Roger
Burrell and Quinton Yang were given a task to
take the places of two missing Year 9 Third Quad
rowers. The Quad won the race and each member
was given a medallion for his great achievement.
Although coming close seconds in some of the
races, there were many disappointing moments.
We were put in the Division B race at the St
Ignatius Gold Cup. We met surprisingly tough
competitors and made a very close finish at third.
Everyone was happy about the season and look
forward to the more intensive training expected
next rowing season.
Everyone hopes he will be in Year 9 First
Quad.
Quinton Yang, Stroke.
L
ast season Rowing was a great success. Our
Year 8 crews were put into quads consisting
of four rowers and a coxswain. We had four
quads, with a few reserves usually helping out in
speedboats or swapping over occasionally.
Our crew, Second Quad consisted of the weirdest
combination of rowers. There was Blake Angell,
as bow. Blake was quiet most of the time and
always followed orders; he was probably the only
one in our crew who rowed properly when he was
told to. In third man position was Ellis Louie - he
was the annoying one in our crew (most of the
time). But when he really tried, which wasn’t very
often, he could row pretty well. Next, in second
man position was Adam Farrow-Palmer. Adam
often entertained the crew by starting a sing-a-long
or playing games in the boat. Adam in my opinion
was the best rower in our crew - he was always up
to the task. And as Stroke of our crew, myself, Attila
Szabo. I would often entertain the crew as well, to
make it more fun, by singing with Adam and
having interesting conversations with our coxswain.
If you are thinking that because I was Stroke it
meant that I was the best and most responsible
rower in the crew, you are mistaken. Actually it
was by default that I was stroke. We were not very
good so we changed the positions around hoping
that we could row better. Eventually we got it
perfect except for me, my timing was always out.
So they put me as Stroke. It was finally perfect!
Because I was at the front of the boat I didn’t have
to keep in time with anyone.
Finally, as Coxswain of our crew was Julian
Murray. He was rather small but it didn’t matter
because all he did was steer the boat. He must have
had a lot of fun looking at our hot sweaty bods and
telling us what to do. Julian occasionally talked to
himself thinking we were listening. We must not
forget our wonderful coach, Mr Burrell. He was
probably the best coach you could have - he was
always fun and never gave up on us. This made up
our Second Year 8 Quad, which was probably the
most fun and best crew ever.
The first time we got to the Abbotsford
Rowing shed, we were rather stunned - it was a
nice and large building. Soon we were introduced
to our coach, Mr Burrell. Without his help we
wouldn’t have gotten anywhere and would
The Record 2002

Rowing
probably still be learning to balance the boat. As
soon as we got in the boats we realised that there
was more to it than rowing back and forth for
hours. We were actually really bad. Even steering
the boat for Julian was hard. The first time we
rowed we hit around five boats in the vicinity, and
nearly capsized so many times I lost count. Also
when we came early on a Saturday morning and
saw the sparkly water undisturbed by boats or
ferries going past, it was probably the best time
you could possibly row - the water was calm, the
air was damp, and everything was quiet except for
the rowers. After a month or so we could row
pretty well and found that rowing is actually really
fun when you can do it fairly well.
Around two months after we started rowing
we had a Year 8 Rowing camp. This camp lasted
two days and one night. We unfortunately didn’t
have Mr Burrell coaching us for these two days,
but they were equally fun. We rowed
approximately four hours straight and then headed
back to the sheds. We had a few hours of having
fun and then had a nice dinner and went off to bed.
The next morning we woke up at around 6:30 in
the morning and went out into the calm and cold
water for a short morning row. We then packed
our things and left for school.
In the second half of our rowing season we had
races against other GPS schools on Saturday
mornings. In our first race we figured out that the
other schools crews were mostly much better than
us and much bigger as well. We gave every race
our all, which obviously wasn’t enough, and came
an average third in most races. On two occasions
we came second, one we finished with grace and
style, and well, the other, we finished second. We
had a really bad start and were coming last. About
a quarter of the way into the race, an inconsiderate
person terrorised our race roaring through the
middle of our race with their speedboat giving us
evil grins. Typically we were the only crew that
got wash from the speedboat because they were
rather close to us. We were far behind now and the
boat race officials realised we weren’t worth it so
they overtook us and followed the rest of the crews
to make sure nobody was cheating. Yes, they too
gave us wash ruining our race even more. We were
all really angry by now and were willing to show
them we not as bad as they thought we were. We
all went psycho and took our best shot at it,
catching up to one crew with about a quarter of the
race to go. We were keeping in touch with the rest
94
of them when one of us suddenly lost his oars. We
were now losing for sure, but Adam, Ellis and I
didn’t care if we had three rowers or four, we were
going to win this race. We kept rowing and caught
up to three crews and finished in second place.
That was probably the best race we had, and we
are all proud of it.
In the final race we were placed in the B Final,
because we weren’t good enough for the A Final,
according to our previous results. This race was
pretty average and we finished in second place,
but unfortunately we were in the B Final and so
really finished in seventh place.
There was one more important event in our
rowing season, our First and Second Quad went to
the C.H.S championships, which was a rather
difficult event. There were lots of really good
crews around and we thought we didn’t have a
chance. We enjoyed the day until our race was
going to start. We got ready for our race and rowed
over to the starting line. We were also racing
against our own Year 8 First quad. We rowed the
race with difficulty, and somehow obtained third
place. We were all really surprised and didn’t
understand how we did it and then we realised
there were only three crews in our race. We got
our medals, and felt proud for the next few days,
but knew that that was the end of our rowing
season till next year.
Many thanks to our coach, Mr Burrell, for
getting us to where we were and also to our rowing
teachers and everyone who inspired us to row.

A
nother great rowing season at High and an
especially pleasing one for the Third Year
8 Quad. In only our first season of rowing
all of the boys in Year 8 were looking forward to
a fun-filled season at the High Sheds. After
learning all the basics from our great coaches Mr
Hoare and Mr Hespe, we were more than ready for
a big season of rowing.
The Third Year 8 Quad was:
Bow man: Ben Chow, full of enthusiasm. Ben
always put in a solid effort and really had
something to prove.
Two man: Sandy Cunningham, by far the most

talkative and knowledgeable member of the quad,
Sandy always had something to say. We called
him the guru.
Three man: Rezwan Ali, another of the more
vocal members in our quad, who made our rows a
lot of fun.
Stroke: Michael Levy, probably the most
focused member of the quad, Michael was
unlucky not to be selected in the first or second
quads but was fortunate enough to row with them
on a few occasions.
Coxswain: Felix Taaffe, always very vocal,
Felix’s coxing was sometimes the difference
between a first or last place finish.
We were all eager to do well at the first regatta
of the year. This was the Grammar Regatta and we
got off to a good start to the season placing third,
behind St Josephs and St Ignatius. The next regatta
was our own High Regatta, in which we again placed
third, this time behind Newington and Grammar.
In the St Joseph’s Regatta it was yet another third,
narrowly going down to Kings and Grammar.
In a fighting performance, we missed a
podium finish for the first time in the season,
placing fourth and going down to front runners
Shore, Grammar and St Joseph’s at The Scots
College Regatta. We brought our bad form from
the week before with us into the Kings School
Regatta and once again placed fourth, this time
due to technical difficulties. With this form we
faced a hard task in the last regatta of the year
before the Gold Cup. This time Newington were
the hosts and again we had a hard task, as our
opponents were again in good form and for the
third week in a row we placed fourth, Newington,
St Josephs and Kings taking the places.
We appeared to be struggling on form and it
seemed as if the longer Riverview course would
not suit us. But we proved all wrong and on the
“mile long” course we showed that we had struck
form, again picking up a third in the B Final, only
being denied first place by Grammar and the hosts
St Ignatius. This was a pleasing result and all the
boys rowed well.
All the boys rowed well throughout the season
and have proved to the other schools that rowing
at High will be a force to be reckoned with in the
near future.

D
espite constant crew changes, Sydney
High Fourth Quad started the season with
great enthusiasm. Rowing was new to all
of us but we soon caught on and were on the water
in no time.
It was a surprise when we took to the water in
one of our fantastic boats to find that rowing was
much harder than it looked. While paddling
around the bay on sculls many of us found it hard
to keep our balance while others were sculling
freely. The fact that we all took different times to
adapt to the rowing style meant that we had a bit
of trouble keeping in time at first. However, we
didn’t let this ruin our hopes.
The crew consisted of Slava Nossar - a
consistent, loyal bow man who tried his hardest at
every regatta; James Morgan - a solid and
committed two man who powered all the way to
96
the end of every race; three man Stephen Burke big, bulky and always ready to row and stroke,
Joel Kamerman, who maintained a constant pace
throughout the year, leaving the other members to
work on keeping up. Alex Szabo and Albert Yin
backed each other up well as coxswains and both
steered the boat well. Nikita Balashov rowed well
as a reserve and he might have been in more races
than one of the crew members.
With some great coaching from Ted Hoare we
turned up at our first regatta feeling confident.
Unfortunately, we did not place. Over the next few
weeks we trained well and managed to come fifth
and fourth in the next two races. We slipped
slightly out of form in other regattas but our best
result for the season was a well-earned third.
Rowing was a great experience for us all and
we took a lot out of it. I am sure all the boys will
be eager to row next season and I look forward to
another great experience both on and off the water.

Open Tennis
N
ew life was injected into the Opens Tennis
Team this year as we welcomed Mrs
Veronica Crothers in her debut as a coach
and team manager for GPS Tennis. Confronted
with an unruly team plagued by internal unrest,
factional conspiracies and restless ambition, she
quickly established her authority with an iron fist
and silenced the dissidents. The Opens Team for
2001 included Ben Harrison (Captain), Nirupan
Yoganathan, Opal Wu, Yeou-Herng Shaw, Oleg
Sushkov, Anthony Wong, Robert Ing, Naithan
Raheja, Nathan Rapoport, Felix Hui, Costa
Sinelnikov, Jui Yeng, Charles Qin, Ben Li, Allan
Chau, Max Kletski, Daniel Ng, Shaun Sae-Lieo
and myself. We were complemented on a few
occasions by Senthuran Eswaralingam, Siddath
Weerasinghe and Timothy Davis Frank, who
keenly made up the numbers in times of need.
The pre-season, charged with Sydney High’s
competitive spirit, was unfortunately marked by a
mediocre performance against all who challenged
us (with the notable exception of Scots and
Newington). Galvanised by misfortune, but
boosted by the success of First Grade, the team
swore that the next term would provide sweet
revenge.
The first round, against Kings, provided us
with a tantalising taste of victory. All grade teams
won convincingly, our blood-lust ensuring
excellent scores on paper. The next round, against
Newington, provided a similar score-line.
Intoxicated with victory, we awaited our next
challenge, the mighty St Ignatius.
The matches at Riverview were an anticlimax, as we valiantly but unsuccessfully
attempted to win again. Matches were hard fought
against St Ignatius, which has dominated GPS
Tennis since time began. Overall, the team lifted
their game to new heights against daunting
opponents who were better-skilled and bettertrained, but definitely less intelligent. A bitter
consolation came as our First Grade team lost the
premiership in the background of our defeat.
A daring new strategy was required for the
next round at St Joseph’s. In this department, Mrs
98
Crothers outdid herself with a bold new strategy.
The doubles combinations were totally mixed up
in order to gain the full element of surprise. St
Joseph’s were stunned, but unfortunately not
defeated. Nevertheless, the team took the ensuing
rout in their stride, well aware of the humour in
such a suicidal plan.
This jovial mood would continue until the end
of the season. Saturday sport gradually lost its
intense competitive atmosphere and became an
enjoyable chance to have a hit in fine weather with
our mates every week. In accordance with the true
High tradition, the Opens team fielded full teams
of enthusiastic players every week regardless the
prospect of victory or loss. For some, it was their
last season of GPS Tennis, and this easy
atmosphere provided an enjoyable end to their
school tennis commitments.
The Opens Tennis season 2001 will be
remembered nostalgically for all the right reasons.
In addition, we especially thank Mrs Crothers for
her positive attitude and fearless dedication during
the entire summer season.
David Nguyen
A note from Mrs Crothers:
A
fter the initial self-recrimination of
“You’re a manic, this will never be worth
it. What are you giving up your precious
Saturdays for? Etc.” GPS Tennis turned out to be
a precious experience, bringing with it all the
reasons teachers choose to teach. The students at
Sydney High turned out to be a delightful bunch to
supervise. They were full of fun and exhibited a
strong stubborn streak, especially in their singles
matches. Even towards one another, they were
madly competitive, keenly contesting their team
placement every week (that’s right, Naithan,
Yeou-Herng and Opal)! The venues were
especially beautiful. I would recommend tennis to
any member of staff contemplating taking GPS
sport. I treasure the boys who assisted so
graciously and charmingly. You were all so lovely
to know. Thanks to Max, David, Ben H. and Opal
for your outstanding gentility.

T
his season for 16s tennis has been
bittersweet - the results see-sawing as the
season progressed. There was the lot:
memorable wins, heartbreaking losses, you name
it.
The biggest challenge for our team was getting
to the venues, especially to places like
Northbridge (Shore) and Parramatta (Kings).
Another great challenge for the committed GPS
players was to show up at the right time, varying
from 8:30am to 12:30pm. Our team was probably
at its best when we played in the morning, mainly
because most people don’t have to go to their
various activities for the day yet, while when we
start in the afternoon, we usually found ourselves
a few players short. But that wasn’t an important
factor because some over-enthusiastic players
volunteered to double up. Good on you guys!
In the first week of the grueling 2002 season,
Newington stood in our way. Our feisty
competitors put up some good resistance, but
100
Newington still managed to pull off the win
overall. After a few weeks of intense tennis action,
we encountered a venue problem against Scots.
Parklands, the new venue, attracted many High
spectators and cheerleaders. This boosted our
spirits, giving us the edge over the opposition,
which resulted in a satisfying win.
Throughout the season, much improvement
can be seen in the standard of the game. Special
thanks go to the coaches and teachers, and
everyone who contributed to another successful
season.

well-drilled team was formed in 2002 to represent
Sydney High tennis in the 15 years age group. As
year nine students at the time, the boys were still
developing their passion and hunger to win for
High, and their undeniable potential was rarely
displayed on weekend matches. However, the
team showed up week in week out to show the
more fancied GPS schools that High would always
be a team to be reckoned with. The talented boys,
their enthusiastic parents and the wild support
groups from other members of the team meant that
High were competitive each week.
The A team consisted of Hung Neo (c), Alex
Zinzopoulos, Martin Nguyen and Mitchell Seow.
The 15As had an indifferent season with strong,
promising performances in the pre-season and
disappointment in the GPS season. Hung and Alex
“Zinny” Zinzopoulos formed a mighty A1/A2
doubles combination. Their individual talent and
will to win led many to believe that they would
destroy all the leading GPS doubles combinations.
Unfortunately the two boys could not live up to the
hype and were constantly beaten by calmer and
more consistent opposition. Their constant
arguments after each losing point and “way-too
relaxed” (one week saw both boys play their
doubles in jeans and long sleeve button shirts)
attitude saw them lose almost all of their doubles.
Martin “way too fair and passive” Nguyen and
Mitch “I wanna hurt somebody” Seow went about
restoring sanity in the second doubles matches
each week. They played fluently and consistently
and had strong wins over Joeys, Scots, Kings,
Newington and Grammar. Unfortunately when up
against the powerhouse tennis schools of Iggies
and Shore, they were unable to maintain their
intensity when placed under pressure leading to
close losses.
Then came the singles. Without the hindrances
of each other, Hung and Zinny were able to play
much stronger singles matches. Hung constantly
pursued his natural power game from the baseline
and heavy serving to bring about solid wins and
close losses (depending on when he kept his cool).
Hung could also be seen each week intimidating
his opponents as much as possible along with
The Record 2002
101
Tennis
Mitchell Seow, Tom Wei and Benny “Bad Boy”
Nham. Hung employed various techniques
including soaking the ball in water so it wouldn’t
bounce for the opponent or splash if it did bounce.
Zinny, on the other hand, seemed to enjoy court
time as much as torturing his opponents. His
ability to drop shot and lob during rallies as well
as consistently rally for over twenty shots brought
him the name “rookie” and “puddleman”. Zinny
had a stong season with all matches going to 6-4
or 6-5 and easily over an hour long each week.
Martin Nguyen was the dark horse of the GPS. On
his day he could beat anyone and would blast
opponents of the court with his huge serves and
nasty forehands. With a strong pre-season behind
him, many expected Martin to be the safe bet each
week. Unfortunately due to mental incapacity (he
got seriously ‘psyched out’), Martin was left
frustrated on most occasions and left pondering
the missed opportunities. Martin was left with
several wins and several losses. Mitchell Seow
was a strange bloke. On most occasions it seemed
like he was happier to hit his opponents than miss
and win the point. Mitchell was always last to play
each week and had the burden of usually needing
to win for the As to just draw. Mitchell played
very well throughout and exemplified the High
spirit with his determination and stamina week in
week out.
The Bs had a strong outfit which included Paul
Wong, Robert Lu, Tom Wei and William Xu. This
outfit were big and strong, except for Paul and
Tom who were actually quite small. The Bs were
renowned
for
their
composure
and
uncompromising will to win. This meant that the
Bs won most weeks convincingly with a few
drawn matches and one or two losses. Highlights
of the season included Robert smashing 5 or 6
balls over the fence each week in the warm ups
and Tom Wei showing up at 10:00 or 11:00 when
the matches started at 9:00.
The Cs comprised of David “Bent” Yang,
Daniel “Dong” Ong, William Lester and Dawei
Qi. David Yang was most probably the most
consistent player in the team with his “no unforced
errors” game and desire to win. Dong and David
were forced to endure an unbalanced combination
in the doubles: however, they were able to surprise
many of the GPS opponents with their awkward
yet effective game plans. Will played well and had
a strong season. Dawei did too.
102
The Ds were rotated on several weeks, but the
team was on most occasions Ben Nham, Jeffrey
Jong, Jimmy Fan and Dawei Qi. Benny Nham was
a constant laugh each week with his never-ending
jokes and comments. Ben Nham played with a
grin on his face each week to stun his higher
fancied opponents. Ben Nham was undefeated.
Jeffrey and Jimmy had to endure team rotation and
hence were unable to consistently perform with
high intensity. Nevertheless they played gallantly
and were able to pull off deserved victories. Dawei
did too.
As captain of the team I enjoyed the season
immensely. I extend my gratitude to all the boys,
parents, teachers and friends that supported
Sydney High 15s tennis 2002. It was a great
season.

Pre-Season Report
O
ver the course of this term the under 14s
tennis team had some great victories, but
more often, crushing defeats. All our
teams enjoyed some success, both in singles and
doubles matches, with the D team being the most
improved group this season, winning a fair share
of their matches.
Our team just did not have the depth of players
most of our competitors had. Nonetheless, every
player gave his best, did not give up easily, was
enthusiastic even in adverse situations, and made
an effort to be on time for his match. Thanks to
Wednesday’s coaching lessons our skills have
improved quite substantially and overall our team
has shown great sportsmanship and teamwork.
Improvements in teamwork and cohesion between
our players were of most benefit to our doubles
matches, where some exciting games were played
and won.
As the term progressed, more and more of our
games became rather competitive; often ending in
tiebreakers and many points were lost in sudden
death situations. We should aim to improve our
mental toughness and concentration, allowing us
to claim more of these deciding points in the
future. Identifying our strengths and weaknesses
will allow us to iron out some of our deficiencies

Over the summer holidays we will hit as many

be beneficial to prepare us for next year’s

Even though we did not win as often as we

important thing.

O
ur first GPS tennis season was great fun
and new friendships were formed, but to
our dismay, we the 13A, B, C and D
teams, did not win a great number of singles or
doubles matches. Actually, High in the 13s age
group, did not manage to secure a win against any
of the GPS schools. Also many of High’s players
had to learn, right there and then, how to umpire,
which was quite challenging.
Most of our players had not played
competition before. I believe that having little
previous experience meant that at critical moments
we almost always lost it, our concentration just let
us down.

to avoid those dreaded double faults and overly

and improved outcomes in the next season of GPS

Saul Wodak (33 points) and myself (20 points), to
beat us 68-82.
F
irst Grade Basketball kicked off the season
in unfamiliar territory with a shock loss to
Newington 60-68. Perhaps it was our
inexperience together as a team, but we shrugged
it off - after all it was only the pre-season and five
of the team’s players were regulars in the previous
year’s first grade team. We knew we had the
potential to go a long way this year.
After the first week it was obvious that the
usual power-houses, Scots, Shore and Riverview,
had maintained their skill. Our second game was
against Riverview. We lost in uninspiring form
61-75. Finally, in our third week against Kings we
found ourselves playing some decent basketball,
up 70-52. To follow were perplexing losses to St.
Josephs, 48-58, and Scots, 55-68. Our skills were
still there, we had some inspiring leadership from
Vice-Captain Junyang Sim, but we still lacked
something which the other schools had over us.
The next week we had the all important
Raschke Cup (an annual round-robin). However
we drew an almost impossible pool - Shore, Scots
and Grammar. The altered rules of the tournament
are often a disadvantage to our team as we only
have eight players compared to the other schools
ten players, meaning we tire faster in the three fast
games (30 mins, clock does not stop). Our first
game against Grammar was won 29-24. We
suspected our game against Shore would be a loss,
and our only chance to make the final would be if
we beat Scots and Scots beat Shore. However at 30
all with 5 seconds to go and High with the inbound
play we had a chance. Our play seemed to go
wrong from the start: Saul Wodak, our intended
target, was immediately tagged, and ended up
falling over. From nowhere sprang Junyang to
complete the game with an amazing buzzerbeating lay-up. A moment we will all remember
for the rest of our lives - a 32-30 win over the near
invincible Shore. We had made the final, a feat
High basketball had not achieved in about ten
years We had found what we needed as a team and
we knew how to play to our potential. However,
St. Ignatius proved too strong in the final,
finishing off our exhausted team 43-34. Shore,
who had beaten St. Ignatius in a previous
encounter, were devastated. We played them the
next week. They were ruthless in their revenge,
restricting High to essentially two scoring options,
106
After a generally uninspiring pre-season we all
knew what we had to do in the real season. We had
seen ourselves do it before. Our first game was
against Newington, a must win game. With the
score locked 66-66 at full time this game really
had each team and their supporters on the edge of
their seats. A special thanks goes to the High
cricket team, whose match was rained out, and
showed true High Spirit in vocally supporting
basketball. When Newington got up 73-74 after
extra time, I think some of the team could already
feel the inevitable losses we would have for the
rest of the season.
Kings, the bottom of the ladder, proved to be
one of the easier games for us at 72-52. For many
of our games we had a player out, whether it was
shoulder dislocation (special prize to Dong-In Seo,
who must have dislocated his shoulder a least ten
times, twice in one day - after coming back from
hospital from the first dislocation, he decided to
play cricket ... as you do) or from the more
obvious sprained ankles. Against Riverview I was
forced to sit on the bench and watch my team
suffer one of its more crushing defeats 52-70.
Although the following week Scots made even
more of an impact at 46-70. Our season was fast
escaping us and we had so far failed to live up to
the level of ability we showed at the Raschke Cup.
Sweet revenge came our way against against St.
Josephs, 64-62, who had beaten us in the preseason. It should have been by more, but, at this stage
we would take any victory no matter how small.
Shore, clear favorites to win the competition,
mustn’t have recovered from us beating them in
the Raschke Cup - by quarter time they had piled
on 30 points to our 4. Salvaging some of our
dignity we pulled them back to 56-91.
The last game of GPS basketball many of the
team would play was against Grammar. This game
generally summed up our season, lack-lustre with
a few outstanding performances and even fewer
special moments. Saul Wodak scored 32 points
and Junyang showed that he can beat anyone in
one on one if he feels like it. But of course, who
can forget Dong-In. He was rejected so hard the
gymnasium erupted into laughter, screaming,
yelling and a scorer on the bench was given a
technical foul for being part of the general
celebrations (the game was at Grammar). The
High team also ran to him to congratulate for such

a stupendous block he suffered; Grammar up 7895, end of season.
With the GPS season over the team took a
break before the CHS State knockout. By the third
round we faced Leichhardt - a one man team, a six
foot two center who landed three pointers from
metres outside the line and could have been in the
Kings first fifteen; this guy was big and fast. Most
people would believe that a good team would beat
a team with a good player. I thought that too, until
I saw this player land a three in the dying seconds
from two metres outside the three point line with
three of our players marking him as hard as they
could. He had played the whole game and he was
so exhausted he could barely run, but still he got
his team over the line 68-71.
Saul Wodak, recognised by the Captain of
Shore basketball as being unstoppable in offense,
was selected into GPS Second Grade basketball,
and I was later called up to play in the same team.
It was Mr Farrington’s last season of coaching

for his dedication and persistence. Also, a special

T
he pre-season gave clear indications that we
had much more to improve on, throwing
many chances away and only able to walk
away with one victory over a less aggressive St
Joseph’s team.
The competition season began with a reshuffle
but the first game showed that there was still work
needed as Newington dealt us our first loss. The
problems we had during the pre-season had carried
on, the turnover rate was extremely high. Against
Riverview and Kings, our errors allowed them to
score nearly 15 points before we settled down
again. However, good signs were present. When
we were able to hold the ball the team managed to
pile on many points and looked very impressive.
We led the eventual GPS Premiers Shore, for
about a half until a break down in defence allowed
them back in and eventually to reach the 90 point
mark. A similar story unfolded against Scots,
where we threw the win away with simple errors.
The most arduous game was definitely the
final game against Sydney Grammar. It was the
bottom of the table clash and the victor would rise

The High Boys played better and deserved to win
for most of the match, but like the rest of the
season, luck played out in favour for the
opposition.
Although the season was not filled with wins,
it was still successful. We played every game with

to begin their magic run of a five-game winning
streak. We proceeded to defeat Grammar, Joeys,
St Ignatius, and even Shore. The most thrilling win
was definitely against Scots, the game which

winners.

coordinated, challenging every team we came up
against. Several outstanding efforts by our sharp
shooters Bui, Mark and Hugo are notable, as was
Blake’s (my) 25 point haul against Scots, single
handedly… almost winning the game.
Year 12 players showed their depth of skill
and experience, without intimidating the little
ones, with consistent efforts from every player,
Bui, Cheng, Shihab, Blake, Lamb, Anthony Kim
and occasionally Jeffrey (when he was able to
avoid coaching). Special credit has to be given to
these guys for their regular attendance at training
and willingness to listen to the captain, Blake, as
training without a coach can be a difficult task at
High. Hopefully we learnt something, but that is
never as important as enjoying the experience.
For those who leave next year, no future team
will be as fun, and for those with a year to go,
remember we gave you your last chance to enjoy
yourselves before first grade. All the best to
everyone post-High, these are the memories we’ll
cherish.

Sixth Grade Basketball
W
ith an almost unchanged team from last
year’s 16Ds, these boys just don’t get a
break from the bad-luck bug. If losing
their star player to cricket at the beginning of the
pre-season wasn’t bad enough, they were once
again hounded by close defeats.
Games against Scots and Shore in the preseason did well to frustrate the boys with losing
margins of only 3 and 1 points respectively. The
boys ended the pre-season with their heads down,
but were confident of a much better season after
the summer holidays with the arrival of the new,
180 cm point guard from Hong Kong.
With this new player, Fai Lam, Sixth Grade
rocketed to victory in their first game against
Kings (25-15). The second game almost looked
like a victory too, with the captain scoring six
points in the opening seconds of the game,
however Iggies cut spirits down with the
progression of the game, a humiliating defeat. The
difficult conditions at the Joey’s match saw the
third straight loss for Sixth Grade.

T
he 2001/2002 season of basketball was
enjoyable but not necessarily successful (in
terms of wins and losses) for the 16Cs.
In the pre season we had several convincing
wins, however once we moved into the GPS
season we suddenly seemed to pick up a curse of
bad luck where no matter how well we did in the
first half, we always lost the game in the second
half. For instance, against Grammar we were up
18 points to 3 in the first half, we lost the game by
5 points at the end.
However, despite this inability to win, the 16C
season was incredibly enjoyable for myself and
the team.
T
his team was basically last year’s 14Cs
with a few of the 14Bs. The team started
out on the wrong foot, coming out with a
loss against Newington due to lack of practice
during the holidays. The team then came back
against Kings, owning them in every aspect.
The team then went on to face more
experienced teams such as Sydney Grammar and
Riverview, but unfortunately lost. The experience
gained from this year will definitely play a role in
next year’s season. We all thank our coach, Mr
Ryan, for his interest and application.

O
nce again High’s swimming season was a
very hectic one with our swimmers
competing in both the CHS and GPS
competitions. The school carnival was held at the
Des Renford Aquatic Centre, Maruobra, On
Tuesday 5th February. Even though it was an
inclement day, the involvement from the boys was
first class. Torrington was the eventual winner on
the day. Thirty-five swimmers made it through to
represent the school at the zone carnival.
This carnival summed up the attitude which
could be seen in every swimmer throughout
season 2002. The spirit amongst the high boys was
inspirational, and once again Mr Day nurtured this
spirit perfectly making sure every boy got a go at
each carnival.
We did have some outstanding swimmers
throughout the ages, people who the boys like to
refer to as “freaks”, such as Tom Miller, Ellis
Louie, Roger Burrell, Sam Gribble, Paul Wong,
Glen Carroll, Jason Ong, and Matt Louie. We also
possessed an all star relay team in the 16s, who
made it right through to the state championships.
There were many notable performances, and I
would like to congratulate those boys who took
advantage of the new training rebate offered by the
school - this is a brilliant opportunity for all the
swimmers to train at their local pool. However I
would like to focus on the average swimmer, who
did swimming just to “have a go”, and show some
school spirit.
This year’s senior swimmers were an
unbelievable group of people who all got involved
in the majority of the carnivals. Swimmers such as
Tom Cusbert, Justin Garber, Steve Barbouttis, Ben
Lonsdale, Rhys Gencur, and past freaks such as
Jake Matthews, and Fredy Hoh - all were valuable
members of this year’s team, and provided perfect
role models to all of the students at High. They
have shown their pride in the school from their
involvement over the past six years.
It was a pleasure to have the opportunity of
involvement in swimming during my years at
High. I am so happy that swimming has finally
been recognised as a GPS sport, it is a credit to the
sport and hopefully will increase participation
from the rest of the boys at High as they attempt to
nurture that indelible High spirit. Finally thank
120
you to everyone who contributed to making
swimming such an enjoyable experience at High especially Mr Day. It was a pleasure to be
involved with him especially in my last year, and
also to Fredy Hoh our inspirational vice-captain he was a champ and provided sound leadership
throughout the season.

Congratulations must go to Ellis Louie, Tom
Miller, Jakheb Matthews and Michael TerryWhitall for their selection in the GPS
representative team, which competed at the
Combined Independent Schools Swimming
Carnival on 25 March.
Swimming is now recognised as an official
GPS sport and it is important that we do our best
to raise the standard of our swimmers, especially
those boys who swim in the highly competitive
GPS selection events on Friday nights. To this end

hat better way to reimplant a sport into
a school than to start straight off with a
good old holiday camp? As soon as
those twenty plus students arrived at Woollahra
Sailing Club on day one in the October holidays,
they knew they were in for a good time.
This day was to test every one in the team to
see if we were really keen on sailing since capsize
recovery was the aim of the day. This involved
deliberately capsizing our boats into 16°C water
and then attempting to get them back upright as
fast as possible. Needless to say, we were getting
pretty good at it since only a handful of us had
thought to bring wetsuits!
After this intense start to the season the weekly
trek down to the club was something to look
forward to. Everyone in the squad knew that two
minutes walk from the club was the best
hamburger and chip shop in Sydney and somehow
everyone seemed to pull money from somewhere
to be able to get something before the afternoon’s
session.
Saturday mornings were typically a Woollahra
Club hosted fleet regatta in which each boat sailed
on its own, no teams. One of our boats did very
well in these regattas, coming first on handicap at
the end of the season.
The Saturday mornings that really fired
everyone up though, were those that were part of
the Tri-Series. The three races which made up this
competition were spread throughout first term this
year. Two of the races were on our home ‘turf’ in
Rose Bay, the other being out of the Hunters Hill
Sailing Club at the junction of the Parramatta and
Lane Cove Rivers. In the weeks before the races at
Hunters Hill there had been several incidents
involving shark attacks - all sailors were warned to
stay out of the water as much as possible on that
day!
The season ended well with High coming a
close third in the Tri-Series after having been
placed second up until the final race. Scots took
out first place in this competition and later that
month they did it again at the State Teams
Championship in which High also participated.
The Record 2002

Sailing
Scots has a long sailing history which is one of the
reasons for their dominance of the sport. We hope
that High will be able to rival this team’s authority
in seasons to come.
The season ended with a dinner organised by
the parents of the sailors. Dr Jaggar addressed the
team at this dinner and unveiled a long-term plan
for sailing at High.
The team greatly appreciated the efforts of
everyone involved in the running of sailing this
year. Mr Pearson is congratulated for taking on the
role of MIC and we thank all the parents who
ferried us to Rose Bay each Wednesday afternoon.

Third Fifteen
S
ydney High Third Grade Rugby has always
been a social side composed of players who
enjoy their rugby, but don’t want to take it
too seriously. However in 2002, a team of
committed and talented players proved that with
determination and a little hard work, a Sydney
High Third Grade side could be a force to be
reckoned with.
However all the best efforts of the team would
have come to nought without the indispensable
advice and belligerent personality of Mr Storey,
who was an endless source of motivation,
inspiration and occasionally, humilation.
Sydney High Third Grade was the only
Sydney High team undefeated throughout the preseason, albeit against weaker sides. Unfortunately
the recruitment policies of other GPS schools
created a serious imbalance in the competition,
which contributed to the difficulties of the Sydney
High First and Scecond grades. But the efforts of
Third Grade should not be down-played,
especially with a plucky GPS victory over
Newington through a late try. Outstanding players
are too numerous to name, and for fear of
attracting recrimination for omissions, I will
simply lavish praise upon the entire Third Grade
outfit. I was proud to captain this honourable team
of men.
In conclusion, a talented team with a
determined coach challenged the notion of the soft
social thirds at High, with the success of the
season the result of commitment and dedication by
the players.

his was my most enjoyable season of rugby
at High thus far. This team was a great
bunch of guys not afraid to step up to a
challenge and always striving to improve. Our
team played hard every game causing many
shocks along the way. A number of the team will
be aiming for first grade selection next year.
Coming into the GPS season the team was full
of confidence. We knew we were going to be far
more competitive than last year and our main aim
was to give all the other schools a run for their
money.
The first game was at Stanmore against
Newington. We knew we’d have a good chance as
this was our closest game last season but we didn’t
play our best football on the day. A number of
Our season started off with a very positive preseason where we remained undefeated. This
included two high scoring wins over Armidale and
Hurlstone Agricultural. Our only hitch occurred in
the final game when we drew 5-5 with a very
talented Oakhill side. As it turns out that wasn’t a
bad result considering they won the ISA
competition in the fifteens age group. Our trials
proved very successful as our newest player, Will
Kwok, settled in nicely whilst our forwards
showed that they would be a force in the GPS
competition.

costly mistakes from yours truly led to two
Newington tries and the game was basically over
by that stage. Fergus received the water bottle for
man of the match in this game.
Next up was Shore in our first home game. We
started this game well but a number of defensive
lapses let us down. The backs found some form in
this match and were impressive in attack. We also
maintained our aim at the start of the season of
making every game a close one. Will Kwok was
the man of the match in only his seventh game of
rugby. His defence was solid all game and he
played like a man with far more experience.
The Kings and Grammar games were both
very similar in that our team had many
opportunities to win but we just couldn’t convert
them. The Kings game was a close one in which
both teams were in it all the way. Whilst in the
Grammar game a huge amount of penalties let us
down. Fergus, our gentle giant, was dubiously sinbinned for rucking when there were other guys out
there who were doing far worse than he was. I’ve
no doubt the Grammar boys won’t be forgetting
that game for a while. Tom got the water bottle in
the Kings game and Dimetha got the water bottle
in the Grammar game.
Joeys and Iggies were the two best teams in
our comp but we managed to give them both a
scare. Joey’s, a team that had beaten every team
this year by 40 plus, were forced to go for a
penalty goal after some resilient Sydney High
defence. In the end their superior fitness proved to
be our downfall as they ran rings around us. Still,
the score-line was as good as any achieved against
that team this season. The Iggies game was a tough
encounter where we held our own for most of the
match but could not come up with the goods close
to the line. A few wrong decisions in the forwards
proved unlucky as we couldn’t manage to get over
their line. On a whole it was a very enjoyable
game, from a spectators view as well as in the
players’ minds. Daniel Thomas got the man of the
match at Joey’s whilst our seven foot monster
Nigel Panagopka made a number of damaging
tackles to receive the man of the match award in
the St Ignatius Game.

The final game of the season was against Scots
at Rose Bay. We played till we had nothing left but
still we were thwarted by their speed on the fringes
and a very dodgy pass on their second try. It was a
good way to end the season although we have may
have won had William Kwok and Fergus both
been there. We knew this was the last game we’d
be playing together and we made sure we finished
the season on a good note.
Overall, it was a fine season as I believe the
side raised the bar of junior rugby at Sydney High.
We set a standard that all the younger age groups
should aim to achieve by the time they are in the
15’s, that is to gain experience through the age
groups and to be competitive against A grade
opposition by the time they reach this level.
Although we can’t match the other schools in
numbers and experience, we can still use the age
old methods of grit and determination and I think
that’s what our team showed this year.
Finally, I’d like to thank our awesome coach
Mr Cody for putting up with us these last three
years. I think we’ve developed amazingly during
this period and we will surely go on to bigger and
better things when we reach grade next year. Also
thanks go to Mr Stein for his tireless efforts in
coaching the backs all season. He has been a new
addition for us this season but has taken us from

n a memorable 2002 season, the 14A XV
managed to improve on our performance from
last year. This is mostly due to the tireless
efforts of our coaches Justin and Asher who
brought together many aspects of our game.
With good wins in the trials and a fantastic,
well-deserved victory against Kings, it seems that
the boys have picked up some form. Thanks go to

least for 13s standards. Overall, we won
three matches, two in the GPS season.
After a pretty consistent pre-season, we were
disappointed but agreed with our coach, Mr
Gainford’s decision to play us against GPS B
teams. This proved to be a touch of magic by our
master coach, with much fairer and much more
entertaining games being played. We also scored
two convincing wins from this, including a 31-5
crushing of Newington College, the highlight of
our season. We also beat Sydney Grammar School
in the GPS season. We weren’t embarrassed once,
except, by an amazing St Joseph’s College team.

opposition which was just about every match.
Scored a great try against Shore which involved a
dummy pass, a dummy grubber and a sprint for the
line.
OUTSIDE CENTRE
Frank Jin The most famous player in our
team, with electric speed and huge leg-power. He
was first noticed after his four try haul against
Hurlstone Agricultural School. He went on to
score 10 of our team’s 24 tries. Frank is actually
half blind without his glasses so he did well to
catch the ball as often as he did.
WINGERS
The Kim brothers, David and Kevin, were
almost identical in their consistent runs and huge
tackles on opposite wings. It was good for the
whole team to have a sense of security in our
wingers’ defence, and I don’t think either of them
missed a tackle all season.
FULLBACK
Jackson King, when called upon, didn’t make
many mistakes. He was always confident running
with the ball and his counter attack was excellent.
Then we have Andrew Pham who completed a
most amazing season on Saturday by actually
playing every match for the 13As, even after he
was dropped to the B team halfway through the
season. Injuries and missed matches by others
made it this way and he deserves a special mention
for always being there to play for us.
I was the inside-centre and captain of this team.
As far as thankyous are concerned, Mr
Gainford deserves a huge one for being the

fantastic coach that he is. He was perfect for the
role of introducing the new Year 7 players to the
game and his confidence always rubbed off onto
us. He always had a good thing to say about how
we played. So thanks a lot to Mr Gainford for the
great coaching.
Joseph Lee was, I suppose, the assistant coach
but he was more the backs coach than anything
else. He taught us great moves that all worked
really well in games and was at every one of our
matches. So thanks as well to Joseph. I hope his
knee gets better soon so he can continue playing,
but that will be a loss for us.
Finally, I’d like to thank all the parents,
especially those who were new to rugby and
supported their sons in such a new, different
environment.

MIC Soccer
Association Football (Soccer) continued to
grow this year with High fielding four teams in
each age group plus six in opens and six in the 13s.
The fields at Moore Park West were opened
which along with the Bus Loop fields enabled all
twenty-four teams to play at home for the first
time, without some age groups having to travel
away. It also meant that the McKay field could be
saved for First and Second grade and kept as a
much better playing surface.
In First Grade the team started brightly but
always struggled to maintain the challenge set by
Riverview who crushed all before them. High
finally managed a credible joint second. The
second Grade challenged for the title until a slip up
at the end to Riverview cost them their title, finally
finishing third.
In the other years an improvement is clearly
seen with many of the age groups producing much
stronger performances and displaying the strength
in depth that High has developed.
We started the year by forging links to
Manchester United and through their Oceania
Development Programme run by Parramatta
Eagles. In July a clinic was held at High on the
Moore Park West fields for some 80 boys and
opened by Mr Johnny Warren, Australia’s 1974
World Cup Captain. The participants were trained
solidly in how to play the Manchester United way
by professional coaches all with at least NSL
experience. This link is seen by all parties as an
ongoing thing and is expected to be continued for
the foreseeable future.
Seven High players were selected for the
AAGPS Association Football (Soccer) 15th
Anniversary Representative teams. First Grade:
Tom Cusbert, Patrick Bazin. Second Grade:
Matthew Mulroney, Hugh James (VC), Tim
Edmeades. Third Grade: Justin Garber, Ali

the ball find its way into the onion bag ended with
us losing.
he sun rose on a promising season of
Sydney High soccer - the team could still
smell the whiff of glory that had so
tantalisingly eluded us the previous season. Hopes
of breaking the seven year premiership drought
were high.
The preseason trial matches went quite well
with a 9-2 aggregate win over Scots, a win over
Cranbrook and a loss to Waverly College. The
Sydney Uni cup gave us our final chance to play
before the season proper. The opening few games
heeded mixed results, followed by a spinetingling, teeth-chattering, spoon-bending comefrom-behind victory over St Pat's, in part thanks to
a noteworthy goal from defender J Garber. So we
advanced to the elimination phase where we were
defeated by St Pat's.
T
We were victorious in our opening two
matches of the CHS knockout against The
Conservatorium and Sydney Tech. The next match
required a trip to The Shire for a match against
Jannali High. We let in two early goals, and soon
after Hugh went down hitting his head heavily on
the turf. He was determined to soldier on, but his
incredulous reply of "When did they score?",
when it was mentioned that we were down,
ensured he sat the rest of the match out. This was
to foreshadow the fate of the team as we were
knocked out 1-2.
The first match of the CIS cup pitted us against
St Aloysius. A sub-par performance and an
The team was feeling good entering the
opening round of GPS competition where we
would face Newington. A hard fought matched
ended with us on the winning side of a 1-0

back to win 5-1. The next match was at Joey's, we

allowed the Joey's striker to spring the offside trap
and equalise. Despite our best efforts we couldn't
regain the lead and the match ended in draw.
We lost the next match against King's 0-1,
each team being awarded dubious penalties, but us
failing to convert. A 2-2 draw, with Grammar
scoring a late equaliser, ended our premiership
hopes as the St lgnatius juggernaut rolled on. We
met them in the next round holding them for most
of the first half, before they snuck one by us. They
then ran rampant for a short period in the second
half scoring three goals in as many minutes. The
season ended on a good note with a 4-0 victory
over Scots.
GPS representatives were Justin and Ali in
Thirds; Mat Mulroney, Hugh and Tim Edmeads in
Seconds and Pat, who snared two hat-tricks for the
season, and me in Firsts. We were equal runnersup with Grammar on 11 points. But it looks like

t the start of term two, it was proposed to
have an all Year 11 Fourth Grade. With
the trials beginning, we were keen to
prove our coach wrong in this decision. Led
gallantly by our skipper Phil, we scored ten goals
in our four trial games. We beat Waverley 4 0,
Cranbrook 3 0, Scots 3 1 at ES Marks, and only
lost to Scots 0-1 at Moore Park. However, as the
trials ended we realised that there was no way that
we would be able to swap with the all year 12
Third Grade. This meant that our spirits were not
as high when the GPS season came around.
With the GPS season, it seemed that all luck
was against us and so were all the refs. Although
we outplayed everyone apart from Iggies, we still
somehow managed to lose 0-3 to Shore, 0-2 to
Newington and 0-4 to Iggies. Added to this was
the Joeys game in which we played beautiful
football, but unfortunately all the close calls went
against us and we lost 1-2. Towards the end of the
season, however, we managed to salvage some

first minute. But again the opposition managed to
score a lucky goal and the game ended 1 1. We
played our best football against Grammar, and
totally outclassed them, with all our team having
shots on goal. However, again luck was against us,
and so the game finished 0 0. The last game of the
season was against Scots again at ES Marks. We
did everything right, but just could not put one in
the back of the net, hitting the crossbar on a
number of occasions, but in the end it was again 0 0.
Many thanks must go to Mr Pearson for
coaching us, and also to those fifth graders who
subbed on for us on a few occasions.
In the middle of the season, we also played the
inaugural game against Cleveland St Intensive
Centre for English. Their one and only team was
full of Brazilians and Mexicans. We went a goal
up, but that only got them angrier and they scored
four goals after that. This was quite an interesting
experience, as it had quite an international feeling
to it, especially since the coin toss took two
minutes as the captain of Cleveland St just
couldn’t work out what he had to do.

We than played out a 2-2 draw with Shore,
with Shore scoring two very long range goals and
High digging deep to draw the game. We next
faced the toughest opposition in the GPS, St
Ignatius. On their first grade field at eight o’clock
in the morning we encountered a very physical
Ignatius side. An extremely strong High defence
and honourable keeping effort by Bo Xu, we kept
a clean sheet, while being unlucky not to score a
goal in a goal mouth scramble. The game finished
0-0 with some High players leaving the field,
having played on with injuries sustained in the

fter being relegated to Sixth Grade in the
preseason, the former Fifth Grade team
retaliated, only turning up to training once
during the GPS competition.
The Sixth Soccer XI began the season with an
impressive victory, defeating Waverley College 30. However, the team’s performance then
stagnated, losing to St Gregory’s 0-1 in the dying
minutes of the game and then to Riverview 1-2 the
following week. Pressure of the school Trials and
HSC started to take effect, with the whole team
venting out its anger and frustration on our
opponents. We went on to win the rest of our
matches, defeating Shore 2-0, Barker College 4-0,
Cranbrook 11-0, Riverview 3-1 and finally Scots

emotionally charged affair, culminating with a

the players took no time to familiarise
themselves with eachother. Our season
kicked off with a bang with comprehensive
victories over Newington and Shore, bagging
eight goals in two games. With mesmerising
performances by Krish and Garry, our team was
mounting a relentless charge on the Dolan Cup.
It was these first few crucial victories that
inspired and motivated us for the rest of the
season. Our rock solid backline and our
goalkeeper, Munir “Incredible Hulk” Alam, kept
our defence watertight and kept the goals
conceded to a minimum. Put together with Ho’s

Nirushun’s setting up ability, Krish’s speed and
accurate long rage shots, and Robbie Glance’s
“never give up” tactics, our team proved to be

eason 2002 produced a new entity in High
soccer: the 15Ds. Throughout the season,
the team played some decent football,
although it was in the latter half of the season that
the results really shone through.
Consistency proved a major hurdle, especially
in defence, but let it be known that the aim of the
team was to have a good time whilst
demonstrating the pride and camaraderie of all
High sporting teams. This goal (pardon the pun)
was certainly fulfilled and the players gained
invaluable fitness and general soccer skills, having
lacked in them at the start of the season. The team
environment also proved stimulating.
The players appreciated the help of the senior
'coaches' (by name, not so by nature) and the
excellent organisation skills of the 15s coordinator,
Ms Eggleton. A special mention should also go to
Mr Morris who worked around the clock to ensure
the team had a Saturday match each week.
This was a most enjoyable season for all
involved, and the team will be keenly awaiting
season 2003 to pick up from where we left off.

the lowest goals-to-games ratio of any striker since

T
he 14A football season was a remarkable
improvement from the previous year. The
team built upon the two wins achieved as
13As and finished the season with a far more
respectable 3-1-3 record. Highlights of the season
included a 2-1 win away to Newington and a hardfought 1-1 draw with Grammar, who had beaten
us 0-5 the year before.
Coach: Ms Sue Plenkovich
While ‘Plenko’ spent much of the early part of
the season telling the squad about her experience
in football, it soon became apparent that her
expertise lay elsewhere. In yoga, to be precise. Her
unique stretches and fitness exercises helped to
keep the team in top shape all season.
Plenko’s refereeing was a constant cause for
concern, with regular mid-week practice games
that somehow always went to penalties and always
seemed to be won by the Bs.
Coach: Lin Li
“Anger management” Lin had shot to fame in
the 13As, capturing the dubious record of being
the most sent off coach in High history. His
frequent outbursts were an indicator of the passion
Lin had for the game and for High, and it was this
passion which made him a well-liked and wellrespected coach and mentor.
Captain: Eddy Blaxell
Blaxell, the short, red-haired midfielder
completely devoid of any talent, became captain
after the infamous player revolt led to the sacking
of Lunney. He formed a lethal partnership with
Lee up front, and sealed the best win of the season
with the winner against Newington.
Vice-captain: Lewis d’Avigdor
Lewis at right-back was the rock in the
defensive line, and what he lacked in co-ordination
he more than made up for in aggression. Always
put 100% into the tackle, even when dealing with
the effects of a big Friday night. He was awarded
the vice-captaincy during the season as a reward
for his never-wavering determination.
Martin Lunney
The team’s original captain, Lunney was
dropped to the bench after missing a mid-week
team meeting. Missing seemed to be a common
theme for Lunney, who finished the season with
Brian Chan
Brian was a very very very quick striker, but
seemed to have only pace on his mind when
shooting at goal. He finished the season with just
one goal, scored from two feet out in a trial game.
Brian was one of Lin’s favourite experiments, but
the coach failed in his attempts to turn Brian into
(a) a sweeper (b) a corner taker and (c) a goal
scorer.
Long Chen
Long was perhaps the strangest member of the
14A side. He insisted on being called Alvaro, after
the Uruguayan player of the same name. He also
had an interesting obsession with Marconi’s Chad
Gibson, which he described as ‘no more than
puppy love.’ On the field, he was often more flair
than substance, perhaps because he was playing
out of position at sweeper.
Adrian Jeyendra
Adrian was dropped mid-way through the 13A
season, but returned in 2002 a changed man. The
lanky speedster was a revelation on the right flank,
and was named the coach’s player of the season.
Kevin Kim
‘Big Kev’ was a big fat man with a big fat
heart. Kev took great delight in perfecting the
subtleties of defending, such as the trip and the
shirt-pull.
Jong-Ha Lee
Jong-Ha was plucked from the Bs after just
one trial, and turned out to be an amazing find.
The big striker with twin-Korean flag face tattoos
had a unique style which was as effective as it was
entertaining. Collecting the ball on halfway, Jong
would knock it halfway to the opposition goal. As
the keeper came to collect, he set off at blistering
pace, retrieving his own through-ball and poking it
into the back of the net. Somehow he managed to
net almost a goal a game, and may have been a
contender for the Golden Boot had he remembered
to register his goals.
Mihnea Popescu
‘Princess Micky’ was a tough midfielder who
fancied himself as much as a footballer as he did
as a gangster. He slotted in well behind the
strikers, and showed some flashes of individual
brilliance.

Clarence So
Clarence was the oldest and smallest member of
the side, and shares his name with an engine from
Thomas.
Dominic Wong
Dom suffered by having to play in a variety of
positions, and spent much of the season stuck at
left back. He performed admirably wherever he
was placed, winning the respect of the coaching
staff with his willingness to listen and learn.
Francis Wong
Cross-country legend Francis was the most
consistent performer in the team, running up and
down the left flank all game, every game. His
trusty left boot made few mistakes, and delivered
many threatening crosses from wide on the left.
Mark Samarasinghe
Mark was a versatile part-time sub, who must
be mentioned for his performance against
Grammar. As the Grammar striker burst free,
Mark, at left back, stretched out a hand and pulled
the player to the ground by his shirt. Fearing he
would be sent off, Mark went down feigning
injury. Sadly, he fooled only Ms Plenkovich, who
was seriously concerned for his welfare and took
him off for the remainder of the game.

ell, what can I say? It’s been the best
season the whole team has ever played
and the most enjoyable by far. We
started off well with Richard, Jerry and Clarence
doing their jobs as strikers. Defence and
midfielders were also doing well to distribute the
ball around the field and towards the forwards.
Though the team did struggle a little at the
beginning, a saviour by the name of Paul Tran
joined the team and scored many needed goals.
The team was very committed to their sport
and to prove that, the whole team travelled
together by train to Warrawee to play Knox. In a
very convincing match we won 3 2.
Special gratitude goes to Felix Taaffe, who
attended all morning training sessions and tried his
heart out in every match.
Overall the team improved dramatically in all
areas, especially their on-ball skills. We will be
looking forward to next year as we successfully
finished well on the Dolan Cup score board with a
total score of 8 points, thus placing us … second last.

Oh what a year it’s been! What can be said
about such an extraordinary team? The 14Cs have
passed new heights, ventured to new places and
attained skills in all aspects of football in just four
and a half months of training. They are well
known to be the best team in the U14s and finished
marvelously in the top five of the infamous and so
called "Dolan Cup."
After a good trial run of all the new and
inexperienced players (all of whom are in Year 8)
we placed ourselves in a formidable and strongly
barricaded position promising a High victory
(through all the games). And this was true and
clearly evident that we have all improved
tremendously and attained many skills.
We started off the GPS excellently with a 4 0
hammering of Newington at Marrickville
Stadium. We were on top of the ladder and our
leading goal scorer, Paul Tran, was on 4 goals.
The next game was equally exciting and ended
up our way by winning 5 0 against the 13Cs of
Shore at Bus Loop Stadium. Again Paul scored 3
with Faraz and Englemen each attaining 1. This
was just too good for the young and exuberant
High side. That following week, their Football
Manager announced that Tanvir Uddin (C) and
Paul Tran (VC) will be playing in the 14 Bs. This
Again they played at Bus Loop Stadium and
we lost our first match in 7. St. Pats just were too
much for us.
They played to their ability but just wasn’t
enough for the 2 goals to chase. But, they came
back in our next game at High Stadium 2. It was
against Kings. After a very bad start, they were
equal at 1 1. After the break, the team began to
communicate and pass better. We won that day 6
1. Their greatest win yet! Scorers were Faraz
Amin 2, Andric Leong 2 and Paul Tran 2.
The 5th game was against Grammar. They had
heard about how difficult they were, but they
weren’t going to be aftaid of them. High began
very badly with 2 goals in our net. Grammars were
faster, stronger and more skillful. After half time
the game quickened, the ball was everywhere. On
the last ten minutes they scored their first, thanks
to Faraz Amin. From that point on they were
determined to win, nothing was going to stop them
now. They had 3 final attempts on the dying
minutes of the game set up brilliantly by Faraz and
Henry, but they just couldn’t get it in.
The 2nd last game was against Ignatius.
Everyone knew Ignatius for their skill and
strengths in soccer. The High side shook hands
with gigantic players, 2x their size. Even though
they had all the physical abilities, the 14 Cs made
them look small mentally. High’s shortest players
were taking on the really big guys. We won the
game 3 “with 2 goals from Tony and a deflection
of a back set by Benjamin.
Their last game was going to be the best. They
all wanted to have fun and enjoy themselves. They
were intending to use their new tactic of “defender
charge” to knock down the opposition. 1 worked
to a certain extent. Because of our
our lack of concentration we were 3 goals
down. After the break we pushed 2 goals in.
Thanks to Faraz, and Tony who kicked it well
outside the penalty box.

8. Kelvin Qiu He is a great bludger, but has
much talent as a back. With his aggression and
tackling skill he is fine back which is essential to
the team.
9. Pradeepan is our man. He has saved many
goals and has the strongest boot. He is an excellent
back and in the future will be an exceptional
player.
10. Ragavan Manohoran. He is our only Y9
player but he has improved in kicking and
attacking the ball. He is most useful at stopping the
opposition from scoring.
11. William Zhang. He began as a weak player
where everybody disliked him, but has become

very promising for the future. This player has real
talent.
15. Tanvir Uddin. The captain of the team. He
has tried to maintain the team and help out in
many ways. As a player he controls the backs and
defends with persistence. He will surely be much
better next year if he keeps up at this rate.
After all the improvements, trial matches,
determination and to win we came within the top
5 of the Dolan Cup. We played to our abilities and
looked strong, on a team perspective. They have
placed much strong promises for the future and by
the time next year they will surely be No. 1.

excellent effort in running 14s Soccer this year.
Thank you all.

T
he 2001 season for the 13As was a learning
curve in our soccer careers. While the team
had a lot of promise and applied itself well
to improving, it seemed to fall short in the
majority of its games. We played very well and
had some close games which did not go our way.
Our first trial game was against Waverley at
home, traditionally a very difficult game. While
we played very well with some near misses, we
ended up conceding a goal in the second half and
losing 0-1. Despite this result, we took heart from
spirited performances from all our players and
went into the next game with our hopes high. This
was our first game against Scots, played at the
Scots College. Again, in spite of a very good effort
from all the players, we lost 0-1. The third game of
the pre-season was again against Scots, this time at
McKay. We hoped a stronger performance at
home, but two quick goals from the away team put
High on the back foot from the start, and had us
defending for the rest of the game. They then
proceeded to put another three past lacklustre

defence, making the final score a blowout of 0-5 to
Scots. A thoroughly disappointed 13A High team
gathered midweek, determined to win a trial game,
with their last one approaching, against Cranbrook
at home. A slight reshuffle at the front hoped to
provide more goals, as the team had yet to put any
past an opposition keeper! A confident start by our
team paid off, as our first goal of the season was
calmly slotted past the keeper, and we went one
goal up in the first half. A clever chip from the
opposition striker put the scores level at half time.
An inspired half time talk from our coach saw
fired up High team take the field and it was soon
2-1 to the home team. It stayed this way till the end
of the game, giving the 13As of 2002 their first
win of the season.
The GPS competition itself was difficult,
epitomised by our first game against Newington,
possibly the best team in the GPS. Playing away
was hard enough, but conceding three goals in the
first half made it far harder. Losing 0-4 in the end
was a lot better than it could have been, with two
shots from their striker coming off the woodwork,
and one being brilliantly saved by our keeper. For
our next game, we faced the daunting prospect of
Shore at home. Another very good offensive team
156
saw us lose 0-3. Once more we decided that it was
time for a reshuffle up the front, especially when
our next game was against Joeys, notably the
weakest soccer playing team in the GPS. Despite
several squandered chances, we walked away
happy, with a four goal to nil win. Our first goals
in the GPS season coming three games in was not
the best of signs, but nevertheless, it was good to
put some in the back of the net. In our closest
game of the season, we unfortunately came out
second best as we lost 1-2 to a strong Kings side,
thanks to some poor refereeing, as a free kick was
given in the last minutes which gave them the lead.
Our next game was another tough one, against
Grammar, ending in a familiar score line of 2-1.
However, this time we came out on top, with a
very solid performance from the whole team. Our
last two games were not overly memorable, both
losses, 0-3 and 0-2 to Riverview and Scots
respectively.
So a promising season, from which all the
players learnt something. Two wins in the GPS
and one in the pre-season may not sound like
much, but against quality opposition it was a very
good effort.

ast years First Grade Cross Country team
had only one Year 12 runner. So this year
we expected to have a strong team as there
were seven runners who were in First Grade last
year. The Trinity relay, which is always a good
test to see the standards of each team, was good
evidence that this year our team could perform
well. Jonathan Laurie, David Kaldor, Ben Mostafa
and myself finished fourth, only metres behind
Newington. This was one of the best results cross
country has seen in recent history. Jonathan Laurie
also went on to come sixth at the St. Ignatius cross
country, earning a place to represent the school in
the GPS Cross Country team.
Not only was High performing well, the open
team was the biggest in the competition with over
thirty runners, and most weeks at least twenty
turning up to compete.
Our weekly performances we not of a high
standard as three strong runners were committed
to soccer as well as cross country, so they only
jogged the races, before going to soccer.
Unfortunately there are a minimum number of
runs required to qualify to run in the GPS Cross
Country final. Two good runners missed out on
this by only one run, and a third runner was too
sick to run the final. These runners would
probably have finished in the school’s top four,
which count towards the schools team score.
Obviously High had little chance to do as well as
we did at the Trinity relay. However gallant runs
from Blake Briggs and Ken Liu ensured that we
did not come last.
16s Division
Some of the Open runners were actually from
the 16s age group, possibly why the 16s had less
depth than they usually do throughout the season.
However consistent running from Jeremy James
ensured a regular top fifteen place getter for High.
Jeremy finished off the season well, coming ninth
in the final.
These boys are the most promising team
runners High Cross Country has seen in a while.
They showed the promise from the first time at the
Shore event, coming second as a team - only one
point behind Newington. Then, after the holiday
break, they won the Barker/Knox event with all
top four High runners finishing inside the top
twenty. They continued their impressive form for
the rest of the season, right to the final. To win the
event would have been impossible, as St. Ignatius
finished with a near perfect team score with
runners coming in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th. However,
our lads ran just as consistently as they had all year
to finish 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th, to come second
as a school team.
First Grade Cross Country
T
he Cross-Country season started off with
some promise, as it often does. At the
Trinity relay our first team of Jonathon
Laurie, David Kaldor, Ben Mostafa and Richard
Blennerhassett finished a close fourth not far off
from the leaders. Jonathon Laurie also finished an
impressive sixth in the Combined GPS selection
run, high enough to make the GPS team.
Ken Liu and Blake Briggs also began to
impress with consistently improving results while
Ken set a new record for one of the training runs
at Centennial Park. Justin Garber, David and
Jonathon showed true High spirit as they shared
their commitment to cross country with first grade
soccer. The first grade runners from year 11,
Sahan Dasanayaka, Thien Vuong and Matt Lam
provided some much-needed depth and showed
some promise for the season in the next year.
On the day of the final, hosted by Scots, High
hopes were dashed. Three of the year 12 runners
were not able to compete, due either to illness or
failure to qualify by missing out on just one
qualifying run. Jonathon finished first for the
school with a solid top 15 finish, but the overall
placings were not good enough to ensure a fully
satisfying result.

Upon returning from two weeks of rest, we
received a warm welcome from both Mr Prorellis

and the commitment we were about to partake.
Each week the training program increased bit by

uring the second week of the July school
holidays Sydney High School Rifle Club
met at ANZAC Rifle Range to train for
what they knew would be a demanding task winning the GPS Rifle Shooting Premiership for
the second year running.
Monday 22 July saw the second and first grade
teams training at Hornsby Rifle Range to
acclimatise to the range and survey the opposition.
On Tuesday 23 July the competition began
with the morning event, The Rawson Cup,
beginning 9am sharp. The Rawson cup consisted
of two sighting shots and seven shots to count for
each of first grade’s eight members. The Rawson
Cup was shot over two stages, the first at 500
metres and the second at 600 metres, with the
match decided on the aggregate team scores.
Tuesday afternoon’s event was the N.R.A.
Shield, consisting of two sighting shots and ten
shots to count at a distance of 600 metres. Here,
some unusual conditions at High’s target resulted
in some lower than expected scores.
The following morning it was time for the first
grade team to take a break and for the second
grade team to contest the Seconds Team
Premiership Match. This match consisted of two
sighters and seven shots to count for each of the
eight seconds team members over a distance of
500 metres for the first stage followed by a further
two sighters and seven shots to count on the
second stage at 300 metres. As has become the
custom of High’s second grade sides, the match
was fought out long and hard, but we were
unsuccessful in claiming the shield.
Wednesday afternoon saw the final match for
the first grade premiership, where the first grade
members were required to shoot two stages, the
first being two sighting shots and eight to count at
300 metres, and the second a rapid fire shoot of the
same number of shots at a fifty centimetre
diameter disc target. The difficulty of this match
was added to when the glaring sun of previous
days was replaced by high wind and rain, creating
difficulty for the coaches in particular.
While not retaining the Premiership in 2002,
Sydney High School Rifle Club kept up their
tradition of vigorously contesting the matches to
the end. The competition was the final shoot for
several of the team’s senior members and I wish
the club well in contesting the Rifle Shooting
Premiership of 2003.

Captain of Athletics
[The following is an edited version of the speech
given by the Captain of Athletics at the Annual
Athletics Assembly.]
Good morning Dr. Jaggar, guests, parents and
students.
W
e are at the business end of yet another
season of sport at Sydney High. The
school athletics team has been
competing for only six weeks, yet tomorrow we
will test our physical and mental capabilities when
we take on the best athletes from the GPS in the
most elite and exclusive competition this country
can provide.
At High, we have to work to achieve success,
and there has been no shortage of enthusiasm and
commitment to training over the last few months
by all members of the team. The standout
achievements of the senior team this year have
been the season’s best throw by any competitor in
the Open Shot Put by Ben Lonsdale, and Jonathon
Laurie’s amazing 1500m run when he took 16
seconds off his personal best. Lachlan Mitchell
also deserves a mention after running easily the
fastest 100m time run by any member of the
school this year.
support of their schoolmates, we will hopefully be
able to hear the school song loud and clear above
all else. Boys that have competed in the Head of
the River tell me that even though we are grossly
outnumbered on the shore they can still hear us.
Just imagine the kind of noise that this school
could make if we were all there. At the one time of
year when upwards of 5000 schoolboys are
crammed into a stand 100m long, it would be
amazing to see the chocolate and sky blue out in
force.
It is also particularly important we have a large
showing this year because of the media coverage
our school has received in recent times. We must
prove to the critics that our way of education encouraging all-round participation - does make
High a school unlike any other. We always have
been and we must make sure that we remain so.
The athletes in front of me are examples of
students doing their part to make sure the
traditions survive, and tomorrow the rest of you
will have your chance.
A restless night lies ahead for all members of
the team, as we lie awake dreaming about how fast
we’re gonna run, how far we’re gonna throw and
how high we’re gonna jump. When we wake up it
will be time to go and face the music, and I wish
the rest of the team the best of luck.
Overall it has been an enjoyable year for
athletics with consistently good performances
across all age groups. Thanks must go to all those
who have supported the team, in particular the
many parents who have been generous in their
time and effort in supporting the boys. Mr Sean
Creer has again been an asset to the team through
his organisational skills and first aid assistance.
Nick Armstrong recently joined the one-man
coaching staff of High and has been of great
benefit to many of our junior athletes. However
the bulk of all thanks must go to Mr Steve
Tiedgen. Every Tuesday, Mr. Tiedgen has been
able to conduct several training sessions
simultaneously making sure every one of us had
something to do. His enthusiasm for the job of
MIC of athletics has seen the number of students
taking part in the program increase steadily over
the last few years, and he has been the founder of
many new talents.
The senior team of 2002 is -
When we arrive tomorrow to the sound of
bagpipes and thousands of voices chanting in
Div. Shot Put - Dinesh Ramanan.
In the U17s
Champ. Shot Put - Andrew Walters.
Div. Shot Put, Div. Hurdles & Div. 800m - Thien
Vuong.
Champ. High Jump - David Li.
Champ. 100, 200 & 400m as well as the 4x100m
relay - Lachlan Mitchell.
Div. 100m and the 4x100m relay - Bosco Cheung.
Champ. 1500m - David Kaldor.
Champ. Hurdles - Brendan Lee.
Champ. 4x100m relay - Eugene Hooi.
Div. 3000m - Hugh James.
Unfortunately not with us is Mark Nam who
will compete in the Champ. Long Jump and the
4x100m relay.
In the Opens
Div. Hurdles - Phil Clemens.
The Record 2002

Athletics
As reserves
In the U17 - Sahan Dasanayake, Alex
Voyevoda, Ken Liu, Akash Aggarwal, YeouHerng Shaw, and Aik Yeng.
In the Opens - Steve Barbouttis, William
Clarke, Josh Dzarir and Jun-Yang Sim.
At this point I invite our guest, Aaron Hunt, to
present the Open Championship Athletes with
their shirts.
Vice-Captain of the Team, Ben Lonsdale - Ben
approaches every meet with an air of confidence.
While his dress sense may be frowned upon by
many in the GPS, Lonsy silences his critics by
continually puting in the performances that will
see him start the Championship Shot Put
tomorrow as the clear favourite.
Jonathon Laurie - No words describe Jono
better than those of the great British athlete and the
first person to run the mile in under four minutes,
Sir Roger Bannister, who said, “The man who can
drive himself further once the effort gets painful is
the one who will win.” Jono will compete in the
Championship 800 and 1500m.
Justin Garber - Over the years the Garber
family has been heavily involved in athletics at
High and Justin is no exception. His willingness
to work hard and push himself at training has seen
him improve greatly this year, and he deserves his
spot in both the Championship 200m and the
4x400m relay.
Richard Blennerhassett is not here either but
he is another athlete who has the amazing ability
to keep going when it really hurts. This is reflected
by his selection in the Championship High Jump,
the 4x400m relay and the Championship 3000m.
William Phu - No-one can understand
William. He has declined the opportunity to run
the Championship race every week yet has never
failed to produce the fastest time. William must
conquer his fears tomorrow when he lines up in the
blue ribbon event, the Championship 100m. William
has also been selected to start the 4x100m relay.
Saul Wodak - Strangely Saul has had
considerable difficulty attending carnivals this
year but on one occasion when he did manage to
get there, for some reason he chose to run in the
3000m but had to pull out after 3 laps because of
fatigue (and possibly because he was about to be
lapped). However, when Saul did compete in his
preferred event his performance was impressive
and tomorrow he will run the Championship 400m.
Toby Fanning - Slowby is an angry little man.
Always reminded of his lack of height, Toby has
done well to remain calm and is a key in the
4x100m relay.
Sam Bradley - Diddims is gradually finding
his feet after a serious incident earlier in the year
when the finish line of the 200m was just 10m too
far away, and Sam literally ran into the ground. To
overcome this problem, Sam was instructed to
reduce his preferred distance to 100m and it
appears to have worked. He will run the Division
100m as well as the 4x100m relay.
Mark Bayliss - Mark is our hurdle specialist.
Not surprising seeing as he was the only senior
athlete prepared to run the Championship hurdles
when they are set at a rather dubious height for any
male athlete. This does not phase Mark, however,
and he will lay his future on the line in the 110m
hurdles.
Ben Mostafa - ‘Mullet Boy’ has been a revelation
this year. His high fitness level gained playing
AFL has made him perfectly suited to the middle
distance events. Ben assures me that his hair acts
like a rudder and will assist him in the Championship
4x400m relay and the Division 800m.
Haim Ayalon - Haim is still recovering after an
embarrassing defeat at the hands of Steve
Barbouttis last Saturday. But I am told it has been
an enlightening experience and he will use the
incident as extra motivation going into
tomorrow’s 4x400m relay.
With myself competing in the Championship
Long Jump and the 4x100m relay, this is the
Senior Athletics Team of 2002.
