Thank you to all those who contributed to such a memorable and enjoyable commencement to the new term in respect of our successful Middle and Senior School Speech Day functions, held on Thursday at the Sydney Town Hall.

We were pleased to have Mr Craig Moore, a member of School Council and former School Captain (1974) attending as our Guest Speaker. I had the pleasure of introducing Mr Moore and apart from pointing out his many achievements at School which included involvement in Drama and Choir, as well as his impressive sporting attainments (1st V Basketball, 1st XV Captain and Captain of Swimming), I was also able to inform those assembled of his work in the provision of welfare services to children and their families, particularly in statutory child protection and for people with disabilities. Apart from being a trained psychologist, he has also managed a large district for the Department of Community Services (DoCS) at Liverpool, and more recently he has taken up the position of CEO for Interaction Disability Services. His apposite comments in relation to leadership and the School’s concept of Christian servant leadership as depicted in the Scriptures was well received and provided an important context for our gathering.

With this in mind, our Cadets have been instructed not to wear Cadet uniform in public. Until further notice, boys in Cadets are not to wear their Cadet uniform to or from School. Boys will need to bring and change into their Cadet uniform for parade, wearing their bush hat and school shoes (not boots). For new Year 8 Cadets, boots and ‘KFF’ or ‘Slouch hats’ will not be issued until they are required.

Speech Day is a high point in this respect; and in a week or so, we shall have the opportunity to present awards based on boys’ GPAs at Head Master’s Assemblies. Quietly, without a public ceremony, a relatively small number of boys are awarded School Colours. In fact, this is one of the most prestigious academic achievements the School has to offer. To quote the Assessment Policy, The Head Master, on the advice of the Director of Studies, the Academic Committee and the Colours Committee, may award School Colours at the end of the academic year as follows: 10 Full Colours Dux of any Year Group 7 – 12 a Line 11 To be included in such an élite group is an honour and an achievement indeed. I am delighted to publish the Colours as approved by the Head Master for the 2014 Academic year, at the same time offering my congratulations to each of the recipients on such a fine achievement.

The classical – or free bass – accordion is a relatively new instrument, dating back to the mid 20th century. One of its leading exponents will introduce you to its amazing sound, colours and character, and is guaranteed to win you over should you harbour any reservations about its oom-pah-pah predecessor! Virtuoso musician James Crabb was born in Scotland, studied in Denmark, has performed around the world as a soloist with orchestras and ensembles, and now resides in Sydney. For this recital, he will be joined by Australia Ensemble cellist Julian Smiles. The programme of solo and chamber music includes Astor Piazzolla’s Tres Tangos, Sofia Gubaidulina’s astounding De Profundis and Crabb’s arrangement of JS Bach’s Sonata no. 3 in G Minor. You will also hear some profound pieces by Ravel and Bloch, and the humorous Roadrunner by contemporary composer John Zorn. Crabb’s repertoire ranges from original contemporary works to transcriptions from Baroque through to the 21st Century, Tango Nuevo and folk music. He is an authority on the music of Astor Piazzolla, and has performed with the original members of Piazzolla’s Quintet. Julian Smiles is well-known as former principal cellist with the ACO, a founding member of the Goldner String Quartet and a member since 1991 of the Australia Ensemble.

This Saturday 2nds, 3rds and all A and B teams will be involved in trial games against St. Augustine’s in the Trinity Sports Centre. All other Teams will continue with internal trials in the Old Gym and Outside Courts as the Coaching Staff begin to finalize teams for the following Saturday’s first CAS round against Waverley. Any boy who has a new Basketball singlet without a number must drop off the singlet to my office no later than Monday morning with his Name and House clearly marked on the back of the tag inside the singlet so I can organize to have a number placed on it. I suggest that you also put the singlet in a plastic bag with your name and House marked on the bag. SYDNEY SCHOOLS SHOOTOUT A new look 1sts and 2nds squads entered the annual Sydney Schools Shootout after a demanding two and half-day pre-season camp in the Boarding House, which included three practice sessions a day and a trial game against King’s. With many new faces, players are still fighting for spots on both teams as each group looks to build new combinations and team standards. The Firsts went down in their opening game to an athletic Shore (42-49) team as they looked to gain some rhythm with their new offensive structure. St. Pius’ were Trinity’s next opponent and with a game under their belt the Bottle Greens began to click, pulling away in the second half to win comfortably (48-34). GPS powerhouses Scots’ were Trinity’s third and final game in the opening day of the tournament. A solid performance saw Trinity compete for three quarters of the contest, but fatigue and nagging injuries proved too much for this young evolving group, going down to the eventual Schools Shootout Finalist by twenty-three points (31-54). With the Quarter-Finals out of reach, Trinity’s final game against Waverley enabled the Coaching Staff to sit back and give all players a good hit out and assess who will fill the roles needed for this Team to be successful. As in the other Tournament games, Trinity were still yet to have all players in the squad available due to recurring injuries and suffered another loss (25-36). Trinity showed plenty of promise and if they are able to field a healthy Team for the upcoming CAS season and play relentless defence, they will be a tough group to beat. Tournament 1sts Squad: James Finney (12Ho), Max Peters (12La), Callum Price (12He), Lucas Angelakos (12WH), Julius Truong (12St), Jarryd Fernandes (11La), Jayden Tanevski (11La), Riley Smith (11Ke), Josh Di Giannantonio (11Ho), Jake Kerry (10Ho), Andrew Jamieson-Grigg (10Ho) and Sebastian Diaz (9Ta) Injured: Jed Keogh (10Ar) Ben Morrissey | MIC Basketball The 2nds Squad, although comprising a completely new set of players, bonded quickly as a team during the camp through both intense training and relaxing recovery sessions. This season the group consists of some ‘tall timber’ with the likes of Liam Rasch (11WJ), Joseph Fayad (12Du) and John Bechara (11Mu). Over two days Trinity played some quality basketball and came away with strong wins in their pool games against Shore (38-22), Redlands (41-22) and Waverley (37-25). The only loss was to a young talented Scots’ (32-52). These efforts resulted in Trinity finishing second in their pool and a spot in the Quarter-Finals against CAS rival St. Aloysius’. In a see-sawing contest trinity led in many times before a run of turnovers in the last five minutes allowed Aloy’s to pull away for a six point win (25-31). All boys took a whole-hearted approach to the camp and tournament and put in efforts that are to be highly commended. The team looks promising in the lead up to the CAS competition, and I am certain that all boys will work hard to maintain the standards and keep the momentum rolling. Tournament 2nds Squad: Tom Dickinson (12La), Matt Gleeson (12WH), Joseph Fayad (12Du), Austin Lau (12Ta), Don Li (12Sc), Marco Kwong (12Ar), Alex Andreatta (11Du), John Bechara (11Mu), Liam Rasch (11WJ) and James Spanos (11Ho) Unavailable: Jared Phillis (11Mu) Tom Dickinson (12La) | 2nds Squad Player SATURDAY 29TH NOVEMBER 2014 | 10AM - 5PM SILEN T AUCTION DONATIONS Before you know it, our 2014 Family Fiesta will be on.

Jordan Martenstyn (12Hi) 69 and Mitchell Geha (12Ar) 71, built a very good partnership. They constructed a 109 run stand in relatively quick time. It was an exciting first session of play where we witnessed both boys hitting the ball elegantly and with precision placement. They found the boundary repeatedly and ran between the wickets well. It was a pleasure to watch. Unfortunately neither of them could go on to make a century, but nevertheless, they should be proud of their efforts. However, this is where our dominance ended. Waverley started to bowl more accurately and dried up the runs. Our new batsmen found it difficult to adjust to the conditions and the scoring of runs was difficult until you were set at the crease. Under pressure, some of our boys’ shot selections were not desirable and became the cause of their dismissal. We scraped to 209 and knew that we had to take early wickets to put us on top. James Webb (12WH) started extremely well, capturing 2 wickets, whilst Aiden Davies (12WJ) claimed one. We took these wickets by pitching the ball up. During the final session of play we did not do this enough. We wasted opportunities by bowling too short and down leg side. If we bowl to our field, target off stump just a bit fuller than a good length, then the pitch will assist us. The game is in the balance. We must take quick wickets at the start of play and this will be achieved by restricting runs and showing energy in the field. Our boys have the potential and passion to come out on top. Andrew Yarad | 1st XI Coach 2ND XI TRINITY 97 vs WAVERLEY 1-13 Trinity had a disappointing day with the bat in hand and it could have been a lot worse if not for James De Bono’s (12Ke) fighting innings of 26 not out. He showed patience and determination at the crease and provided a good example for those batting higher up the order. Defending a total of 97 is never easy, and quick wickets are a must if victory is going to be at all possible. Nick Blumor (12Hi) has provided an early breakthrough, and the team will be looking for a few more quick wickets early on day 2. 10A WAVERLEY 147 vs TRINITY 0-0 The 10A bowlers did a fine job in dismissing Waverley for 147 right on stumps. Sanjan Naganathan (10Ta) bowled superbly to record the figures of 3-11 off 12 overs, as did Ben Davies (10WJ), who also took 3 wickets. This was a very good team performance and the side is in the box seat to start the season off with a victory. 9A WAVERLEY 6-270 It was a tough day in the field for the 9A side. With a total of 8 players unavailable for the match, it was always going to be a challenge for the boys and the depth of the age group was going to be tested. One aspect of the match that was particularly pleasing for the coach, Mr Payne, was the way that the boys never gave up in the field. This fighting spirit will stand them in good stead for future matches. A big chase is required for the side, and a whole team effort will be required in order to register a first up win. The season for all 1 day sides commences on Saturday 18th of October, meaning that there is a week remaining of trials for all sides.

This session will introduce parents to these core strengths as part of a “mindfulness” parenting approach to adolescent boys. Of these core strengths, a key focus will be on “self-regulation.” Self-regulation is often equated to self-discipline and is extensively researched in Australian youth psychoeducation. Parenting strategies that empower self-regulation can improve your son’s selfdiscipline and the development of independent learning. In addition, we will also look at boys’ “stress response system” and its optimal development involving repetitive exposure to controllable challenges. Moderating predictable stress in a responsive controllable environment leads to the strengthening of resilience in our adolescent boys. WHAT IS TRIPLE P? The Triple P-Positive Parenting Programme is a multi-level, parenting and family support strategy. Triple P aims to prevent behavioural, emotional and developmental problems in children by enhancing the knowledge, skills and confidence of parents. TRIPLE P PRESENTER? Mr Peter Tryon is a former School counsellor at Trinity and is currently one of the leading Triple P presenters in Australia. IS THE SEMINAR APPROPRIATE FOR ALL PARENTS? Yes. Even though the focus is on adolescent boys, all parents of boys in Primary through to Year 12 are invited. IS THERE A COST AND HOW DO I RSVP? There is a small charge of $5. To RSVP and make your payment for this session, please click here. HOW DO I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE TRIPLE P PROGRAMME? Please refer to the Triple P website at http://www.triplep.net You can also contact our TESS Department on 9581 6035 for more information. FINALLY … As one of the only evidence-based parenting programs available, with over 30 years of proven clinical research to back it up, we are sure this Triple P session can be of valuable assistance to many Trinity parents and families. We hope you consider taking up this opportunity as part of Pastoral Care Week. www.trinity.nsw.edu.au Head Master’s Bulletin | 10 October 2014 < 9
