From the Principal
High Talent
Congratulations to Christopher Morrow (SBHS 2011) who has been awarded a
Combined High School Blue for outstanding achievement in the sport of volleyball. Ivor Metcalf
(Year 10) received a plaque commemorating his ‘outstanding performance boy’ at the
2011 CHS Athletics championships. Well done again, Ivor! Encore nominations for 2011: Jesse Chen,
Daryl Fong, Michael Phung, Wen Jia Liu, Ennes Mehmedbasic, Marcell Rosza and Charles Wu. A great
effort again this year! Well done! James Chan (Year 10) has qualified at ‘black opal’
level (150 hours) in the Premier’s Volunteering Award Scheme. What a wonderful effort!
Congratulations to Louis Stern (7S) who won the National 12 Years Title for Jujitsu. Of the 14
Australian Institute Of Sport basketball athletes nationally selected, two came from the SBHS
basketball program – Andrija Dumovic and Emmett Naar. This result, 2/5 from NSW, says not
only a lot about the talent and dedication of the boys who were honoured, but also about the
quality of the team they played with, their coaches and the strength of the program that they
participated in at High.
Co-curricular Winter reports
End of season reviews, plans for the 2012 season and
draft budgets were due to be submitted to Valerie McKinnon by October 31. Please organise to
submit them to her in soft or hard copy by November 11, please. Also, MICs and P & C
Sub-Committees are reminded that the October budgets are now overdue and should be submitted by
November 11. Thank you to those MICs who have already submitted their reviews.
Scholarship Applications
Head Teacher Welfare and Year Advisers are requested to
suggest that worthy candidates apply by November 30 for one of our two scholarships – the
one-year $1200, Phillip Day Memorial Scholarship (open to any boy in any Year) and the two-year,
$3,000 Sir Roden and Lady Cutler Foundation Scholarship (open to a Year 10 student continuing
into Year 11 or an enrolling Year 11 student). The criteria are published on the school website
at and
application forms can also be downloaded from that site. There are many boys in this school to
whom I would be proud to award these scholarships. If you are interested in applying, please talk
to your Year Adviser or Mr Walker.
Year 11 Reports
Too many reports remain. Boys have until Monday to book an
appointment time to collect their reports. I have asked Mr Dowdell to issue detention notices for
boys who have not booked a time to discuss their progress with me and obtained their reports.
Boys who fail to pick up their reports will be deemed not to have completed Year 11 and may be
withdrawn from Year 12 assessment tasks until they have completed the requirements expected of
them. Parents are requested to urge their sons to bring home school reports. We need to work as
partners in the education of our students.
Subject Acceleration Applications
Suitably qualified Year 9 boys are invited to apply for places in the acceleration classes being
offered for Year 10, 2012. Students need to comply with Faculty protocols for selection. Once
approved by the responsible Head Teacher, applicants need to download and complete an
‘Individual Learning Plan – Acceleration.’ Completed plans need to be submitted
to me for final approval. I will be assessing overall ranking of students based on scores
submitted by teachers. Students who are rejected by the overall academic standard rule have an
appeal mechanism. I need to finalise numbers in classes by November 18, so Mr Dowdell can
commenced timetabling Year 10, 2012.

Year 9 High Resolves report
High Resolves is a great leadership program which builds students’ leadership skills and
capabilities and helps them to apply these valuable skills by doing community service. We are the
Year 9 Cohort of the High Resolves Program at Sydney Boys High School.
At the start of the year, we made an objective – To engage the Junior School (Years 7-9) on
the issue of Environmental Sustainability. We wanted to raise awareness of the adverse effects
and consequences of littering and start engaging the junior school in an environmentally
sustainable solution – recycling. We wanted to get recycling bins into each individual
classroom, in order to achieve this.
Over the course of three working sessions and approximately three and half months, we attempted
to work towards our objective. Along the way, our High Resolves mentor, Lee Martin, has taught us
some very important leadership skills. We have learnt the importance of prototyping and planning
when attempting a large project like this. He has also taught “Many hands make light
work”. Using these simple principles we divided our group of 35 members into five groups of
seven to work towards different objectives. The five groups/streams were: Bins, Marketing,
Presentation, Video and Audit.
The presentation of the video and Prezi occurred on the 12th of October. Aside from a few
technical hiccups, this part of the project went well. We had informed the junior school of the
effects of littering and told them about our plan to bring recycling bins to every classroom.
Some misunderstandings and issues of the practicality of having recycle bins in every classroom
could not be overcome. So, we had to abandon this part of our objective.
Instead, we as a team decided it would be better to run a marketing campaign to inform the school
about the benefits of putting rubbish and recyclables in the appropriate bins. This marketing
campaign will be ongoing.
Along the way of our project, we made many mistakes and have learned many valuable lessons. We
learned the importance of working together as a team and communicating within the group as well
as communicating with others outside the group such as Mr Barris and other teachers around the
school. After many problems and successes, we hope to learn from our mistakes, utilise the skills
we have developed this year over our lives and most importantly make the school tidier, cleaner
and environmentally sustainable.

From the Library
NEVER FORGET HIGH TRADITIONS – AND NEVER LET IT BE SAID THAT THUCYDIDES IS OLD
HAT
Classical languages teacher Carol Werner came giggling out of the Sir Frederick Deer Room - now
her Ancient Greek classroom – to tell me that Thucydides Book VII was now on the syllabus
and she has finally found a copy - in a school cupboard - for her HSC course. It had first been
first published in 1893, this was the 1919 Macmillan edition and she was now using it to teach
the course.
The owners inscribed on the fly leaf were: Sylvia M Flatt Arts 3, 1926; J McMinn Arts 1, 1943 and
Evan Ruth, Sydney Boys High, 1986. This is not the oldest book we have ever found. We have
actually found books in the Library dated from the previous century.

From the Canteen
Order your lunch and you DON’T miss out!!
e are selling out of some very
popular items early this means if you want a pide for lunch, you may well miss out. Order your
lunch before school and get what you want!!
Home style food made on site, but we need your help!!
It is pleasing to see students
continuing to purchase large volumes of the fresh food we make on site. We mark up our
pre-packaged goods to offset the cost of the fresh food and with our volunteer labour, this
allows us to keep the price of the healthy homestyle food down - as affordable as possible
– and maintain a reasonable profit margin for the school. We absorb any price rises during
the year and put prices up, where needed, at the start of each year.
Remember…all Canteen profits are returned to the school for the benefit of our
boys’ education and development.
Thank you to our wonderful volunteers over the last two weeks:

High Tide
Sydney Boys High School Sailing
The third weekend of the Saturday Point Series was sailed on Saturday 5th with twenty six sailors
present. The very light conditions of the past three weeks were replaced by a shifting NW-NE,
5-15 knot wind that offered a better set of conditions for High sailors. The competitive nature
of the series was shown by a number of false starts with numerous boats over the line before the
starters signal.
Three races were sailed and in the Pacer races, High had a mixed range of results from podium
places and tail-end finishes. Generally, High had three boats in the top ten places but a greater
level of consistency would be hoped for in the coming weeks. After the first race a stronger
north easterly blew in making racing more testing for skippers and crew. Bart Daniels and Ennes
Mehmedbasic were the standout sailors within the High boats and the Pacer fleet, finishing all
three races with great places and some good textbook racing, the pinnacle being the one- two
finish in the second race. Poor starts and some bad decisions on the upwind legs saw chances for
better results go wasted for others in the High team. We need to improve our technical sailing to
see better results in these tricky low wind conditions.
The top three High results are below. Ennes Mehmedbasic with Kai Matsumoto achieved a 1st , 4th
and 7th place in a fleet of 26 Pacers.
Bart Daniels with Hayden Rabone made excellent starts and sailed very well at times to finish
9th, 2nd and 7th in the three races.
Marcus James with Vincent Xu did not get his usual great starts and this together with a couple
of mistakes mid race, cost them any chance for better final placings.
Racing Rule of the week:
ISAF Racing Rules of Sailing 2009-2012 Part 2: Section
A, Rule 10: When boats are on opposite tacks, a port-tack boat shall keep clear of a
starboard-tack boat.

High maintained their position in second place with a resounding win over King’s. However
the next few matches against Shore, Ignatius (who are one win behind us) and Scots (one win
ahead) will be critical in determining where we finish up on the ladder. Make sure you come and
support our opens teams, particularly in home games!!!
My Hayman’s Teams of the Week
-
14Bs Pajman Johnstone hit the game-winning free throw (after time had expired).
-
2nds rallied to convincingly defeat King’s; Jack Hutchinson has learnt how to
shoot mid-range jump shots consistently, knocking down 5 of his 6 perimeter attempts. Kenny
Kuang had 8 rebounds in the 4th quarter once the result of the game was beyond doubt.
- The 15Es won 30-21 against King’s having an amazing comeback from 17-7 down in
the first half.
Craig Moller set an amazing school statistical productivity record of 58.5+. (Meaning his
impact on this particular game statistically was worth almost 60 points)
Home Game this Week
Make sure you come and support our 1st and 2nd grade teams this week against Shore! Come before
or after your game, games start at 10:00 for 2nds and 11:15 for 1sts on SBHS GYM 1.

Sydney Boys High School Cricket
1st XI - King’s 144 (A. Ramesh 4/23, A. Hughes 3/21) defeated High 105 (O. Duffy 30,
J. Moffat 18)
After a solid opening bowling performance, spearheaded by Anirudh Ramesh, we had restricted
King’s to 8/97. However a spirited 9th wicket partnership took them to a total of 144 after
47 overs. Our batting started shakily, losing the first 4 wickets quickly, however Owen and Jesse
'steadied the ship' in a 60 run partnership. However after Jesse's dismissal, we were never able
to recover and were eventually out for 105.
2nd XI – King’s 8/242 (50) (S.Thushyanthan 3/41 [10], S.Sivayogarayan 2/32
[10], A.Kaluve 1/29 [4]) defeated High 80 (46) (S.Thushyanthan 19, A.Nayak 19, T.Subasinghe
10)
A brilliant first 17 overs with tight bowling aggressive fielding and King’s were 4-42 then
disaster struck. A bowling change after drinks and the next 17 overs leak 100 runs seeing
King’s reach 5–142. Our worst 34 overs thereafter of fielding we would all like to
forget, with 6 dropped catches and 4 run-out chances missed that did not let us back into the
game.
3rd XI – High 8/115 (32) (A. Joseph 55, J. Norman 12*, C. Oei 12) defeated by
King’s 8/116 (22) (A. Fu 3/17 [5], K. Vyas 2/26 [6], L. Katupitiya 1/16 [3])
High started badly losing early wickets to King’s and letting them gain the upper hand. But
some middle order toughness saw the team reach a respectable total of 115, with Anoj scoring a
well-earned half century. The bowling attack gave High the best start early on, with wickets and
run-outs placing King’s in a 2/0 situation. High fought well to take 8 wickets but
couldn’t stop a very aggressive and undefeated King’s team. The team bowled
exceptionally well and were very unlucky to lose a game that could have gone to either team.
4th XI – High 41 (17) (K. Giang 9, J. Yang 8, N. Lazarus 5) defeated by King’s
0/42 (5)
5th XI – High 4/96 (20) (N. Pinidya 24*, J. Pham 23, V. Puvanendran 17*, J. Wang 12)
defeated King’s 87 (V. Puvanendran 3/12, V. Bhakri 3/18, G. Samarasinghe 1/13, R. Chen
1/25)
High won the toss, and elected to bat. An opening partnership of 25 between James (12) and Jacky
(8) laid a foundation for the innings, and a 52 run-a-ball partnership between Nicky and Jason
set up a defendable target. A late cameo by Vithu brought the total close to 96. Gamitha and
Ricky picked up early wicket but King’s rebuilt with power hitting, and raced to 3-74 off 9
overs. Victor produced the “ball of the season”, knocking back the off stump, and
causing a stop in the King’s momentum. At drinks, King’s were 5/80, with 10 overs
remaining, and an amazing spell by Vithu and Vasu saw High clean up the last 7 wickets for only
13 runs. A close game, a final run-out, and a memorable win for the 5th XI.
16A – King’s 8/203 (32) (G. Farrugia 5/30 [6], A. Dao 1/6 [2], L. De Fonseka
1/31 [6]) defeated High 7/136 (32) (S. Nagaraj 53*, P. Lam 32, A. Dao 13)
We started the day badly as we were sent out to field, however this all changed when Lasith got
the first wicket early on. King’s then built a strong partnership which lasted about 16
overs and were on top until George came and picked up 5 quick wickets. Our batting started
horribly as we lost four early wickets due to some great swing bowling. However Philip played a
great anchoring innings and with Sagar put on an 80 run partnership to finish the game.
16B – High 8/96 (32) (A. Wong 18, J. Huang 16*, E. Yu 13) defeated by King’s
3/97 (21.3) (H. Zhang 2/6 [5], H. Gu 1/11 [3])
A great start was offset by a confusion that saw Eric run out after some great batting. Aaron
played solidly, providing support and confidence to the team. The introduction of spin restricted
our run rate and saw many batsmen fall due to mistimed swings. A good partnership from Haotian
and Jackson pushed the score to 96. We took 3 wickets in the first 3 overs, with some impressive
fielding from the whole team diving and restricting the runs. The second half of the game saw
many dropped catches, slowing our momentum and allowing King’s to overtake our score. A
great improvement and a fine effort from the boys this week, once again demonstrating their
mastery on the field.
16C - King’s 111 (A. Cao 6/13 [6], K. Chong 1/0 [1]) defeated by High 7/112 (P.
Stephens 34*, A. Cao 10)
High started the game by losing the toss and went to field. Our first wicket came from Jacky
bowling a great ball which the King’s batsman mistimed. The number of sundries really let
us down as we amassed an incredibly horrid 42 of them. King’s were batting extremely well
until the arrival of Andrew, with his bowling style deceiving the King’s batsmen and
getting an amazing 6/13 off 6 overs. We had a steady start and the runs began to flow when Peter
came in to bat. With the help of 39 sundries from King’s and an excellent 36 not out from
Peter, we reached 112 with 2 overs to spare. Congratulations to this week’s Player of the
Week – Andrew Cao
15A – King’s 2/202 (32) (J.Chew 1/27) defeated High 92 (R.Sura 20*,
V.Murugananthan 18, G.Shankar 15, S.Arvind 11, K.Robinson 10)
High won the toss and elected to bowl with Jonathan acquiring an early dismissal, but two,
quickfire half-centuries from the King’s top order batsmen, in addition to an onslaught of
boundaries from the middle order put King’s at a total score of 202, with the other wicket
brought about by a run-out from Tahmeed. Several batsmen made it double figures, with Raunak top
scoring with 20, but in the end, our efforts weren’t enough to match King’s.
15B – King’s 9/186 (32) (A.Huynh 3/15, N.Mostafa 2/23) defeated High 6/97 (32)
(T.George 46*, B.Lee 17)
Anthony picked up the first two wickets, with Bryan supporting from the other end. Impressive
bowling by Niyaz also saw him grab two wickets. Aggressive batting and quick singles from
King’s saw them reach 186 runs. Disaster struck as High came into bat, Supan out on the
first ball. Thomas however played one of his best innings, staying in for all 30 overs and
accumulating a score of 46 not out. A monumental effort aided by excellent partnerships with
Bryan and Anthony.
15C – King’s 9/170 (A.Taing 2/16 [6], A.Wong 2/17[4], T.Nassif 2/23 [6])
defeated High 8/101 (R.Joseph 28, M.Liu 22, A.Wong 12, T.Nassif 12)
High bowled first after losing the toss. Two early wickets from Alex Wong and Jimmy lifted the
team spirits as High bowled with great discipline, with Aashray and Anthony very consistent with
their spin bowling. Credit to Kazou for his athletic boundary saves. High was determined to start
well with the bat. However the loss of three wickets in quick succession did not help the cause.
Renjith, Mike, Thomas and Anthony all contributed to make the final total of 101.
14A – High 3/113 (32) (E. Hall 58*, J. Pope 41) defeated by King’s 4/114 (23)
(F. Morshedi 1/9 [3], M. Koslowski 1/14 [3], J. Pope 1/20 [3], P. Yu 1/31 [5])
High batted first and got off to a magnificent start with an opening partnership between Eli and
James of over 80 runs before James was caught trying to lift the run rate. Eli hit his maiden
half century for High and has now batted over 64 overs without being dismissed. After a poor
start with the ball, improved line and length bowling saw their star batsman dismissed for 12 and
restricted King’s to 4/53. Unfortunately King’s got away from us with a strong middle
order and smart running between the wickets.
14B – King’s 6/210 (32) (A. Deep 2/27 [5], S. Saini 1/20 [5], I. Mohammed 1/11
[3], K. Agrawal 1/31 [6]) defeated High 9/61 (32) (K. Agrawal 31*)
14C - High 36 defeated King’s 27 (L. Huynh 5/7, B. Nguyen 4/9) High batted first,
and a King’s “superstar” ripped through the team early, taking 6-0 (5 clean
bowled). Yi-Chen and Brendan put together a 22 run 9th wicket stand, and saw High rebuild from
8-10, to be all out for 36. Not to be phased by the low total, Brendan and Lachlan teamed up, and
took 9 wickets between them (all clean bowled). Captain Alex Mao dismissed the King’s No.
11, and sealed the win, with 10 runs to spare. Bizarrely, 19 of the 20 dismissals in the 14Cs
game were clean bowled, which shows the effectiveness of bowling on the stumps. Congratulations
to the 14Cs!
