High Notes, Vol 13 No 32, October 19 2012

From the Principal

High Talent
A great result for the Year 10 Teasdale Trophy debating team – Riley Irwin, John Seroukas, Lokesh Sharma and Peter Stephens are through to the PDC State Final! Congratulations to Thomas Nguyen (Year 8) who won the Year Level 8 category of the National History Challenge. High boys were successful at the 8th Informatics Olympiad. Yujin Wu won gold in the senior division. Michael Hauser (Year 10) was awarded a silver medal in the Intermediate Division and Calvin Chen (Year 10) gained a bronze medal. Good effort boys! Well done to the 15 years basketball team who progressed through to the last 16 in the CHS Knockout Tournament.

UNSW School of Electrical Engineering & Telecommunications
Researchers in the School have created the world’s first working quantum bit based on a single atom in silicon – a precursor to the development of quantum computers within 15 years. This is world class research! The BE ME course proved to be popular in 2012, with a 33% jump in enrolments. Enrolments in the BE Arts / Science courses increased too. A Masters in Satellite Systems Engineering is planned for 2013. The School is considering offering summer session courses to high school students for advanced standing credit towards a degree. The school is interested in students Y9-12 to work in a team for the FIRST Robotics Competition. The Taste of Electrical Engineering Workshops for Year 10 and Year 11 students were well attended by High boys in the first week of the September holidays. Two days of designing, building and working in a laboratory were followed by a half-day industry visit. It was a worthwhile vocational experience for participants. If you are good at mathematics and science, you might consider one of these workshops in 2013.

Scholarships – Phillip Day Memorial and Sir Roden and Lady Cutler Foundation
The School has two scholarships on offer each year. Enrolled or enrolling students are eligible to apply. Look for the details on the website under ‘scholarships’ on the navigation bar. Do not assume that you are not worthy or eligible. Applications close on November 30.

Summer Sports Assembly
At our recent Summer Sports Assembly we were fortunate to have Tim Hudson, former NBL basketball player and now a coach with the Sydney Kings who looks after school development. He shared his journey from high school to professional sport. He stressed to our boys the need to persevere with your sport despite selection disappointment and injury. My address to the assembly is reprinted below:

"Special guest Mr Tim Hudson, coaches, staff, GPS sports teams, parents and students – welcome to the 2012 October Summer Sports Assembly. The purpose of this morning’s assembly is to introduce and congratulate boys who were selected in the teams who have GPS competitions beginning in term 4 – basketball, cricket and water polo.

"Water Polo has been re-developing its profile in the school with a Junior and Opens team. Rhiannon Davis has organised the sport well, facing the usual challenges of access to suitable training venues. When that problem is overcome, I am confident that the program can flourish. Our ongoing relationship with Sydney University Sports is integral to the future of the sport at High but we also need longer and more reliable training opportunities. I encourage good swimmers to get involved in water polo.

"High basketball has continued its impressive level of success in 2012.  Winning the Raschke Cup, the CHS Knockout and a second GPS Co-Premiership, proved the depth and consistency of our great team, 2010-2012. Their success kept the dream alive for our young players. The quality of facilities, equipment, coaching and skill development is good. Our teams have a foundation in defence. We hustle, work together and keep up the pressure. Sticking to the game plan and communicating with one another, allow us to overcome deficiencies in size, speed and strength. We keep the ball moving in offence. We are trying to deliver a strong program right down to the Fs. The standard of GPS basketball continues to rise as a function of the number of talented players now involved in many schools. For the upcoming season we plan to consolidate, expand our training base and rebuild for the future.

"I want to acknowledge the ongoing commitment of Ben Hayman as Coaching Coordinator, MIC and first grade coach; Alex Hayman as Assistant first grade coach and Junior Development Coordinator; and the Basketball Committee for its work in supporting and marketing the program. Thanks to Reg Day and George Krastev for their work with second grade. As ever, Bruce Gordon gives generously of his time as a touring first aid man, strapper and psychological supporter. Wayne Baldock is tireless in his Saturday commitment too. The 2012-13 season should be the best organised and resourced program that High basketball has ever had.

"The cricket program has responded well to the new competition format, with a mixture of 20/20, one day and two-day games. Its first season was a success in the judgement of GPS Heads. Flexibility and adaptability are necessary team attributes. However, fundamental skills like shot selection, tight defence, footwork, line and length bowling, varying deliveries and safe hands in the slips and in the field, still make all the difference. For the 2011-12 season, Old Boys Hugo Richards and Siva Valliapan worked as Co-MICs. I want to thank them for bringing a fresh approach to cricket administration. For 2012-13 Siva will do the MIC role with Hugo involved in coaching. I am looking forward to our First grade and Lead Cricket Coach, Tim Roslin, moulding a more competitive squad for the 1st and 2nd XI GPS season. Cricket needs to professionalise its administration and training in order to provide a sustained, in depth development program for players. I am confident that Siva and Tim will make a difference this season.

"As is commonly known, much of individual success is determined by attitude. I was recently attracted to a slender volume entitled “Winning Attitudes” introduced by the legendary Herb Elliott. As Athlete Liaison Officer at the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992 Elliott asked many athletes: Why are you in Barcelona? In several cases the answer was: “I’m here to do my best”. In Elliott’s view “such an answer is an opportunity to let yourself off the hook – because you don’t set yourself a black and white target”. When you do set one, “failure is defined, and therefore the risk is great.” You need to take emotional risks to challenge yourself. If you set a high level goal, like to finish in the top three in the GPS, you have to impose a higher standard on your daily process. How intense is your training? How much effort is everybody putting in on each practice manoeuvre? Are we training at the speed and intensity at which the game is played by the top three teams in the GPS?

"In life, as in sport we are faced by the challenge of compromise. For Elliott, compromise is “the little voice that speaks to us all”. However, when you aspire to be really successful, “you can’t allow the little voice to win on any one occasion”. That’s how champions are made. Endurance athletes tend to have split personalities. Their bodies are connected to the ‘little voice’ crying out for them to stop and relax and ease the pain. Their minds are connected to aspirations and specific goals for training and racing. In training we all have to develop our spiritual side; the one focussed on bigger and greater things. Herb Elliott visualised a competitor on his shoulder to grow his spiritual side. This competitor could see into Elliott’s heart and understood how he was feeling at any moment. The competitor was just waiting for that sign of weakness taking over so that he could slip past and take control. ”That thought and image would sustain me”.

"I urge boys in both training and competitive situations to learn how to ‘say no to your little voice.’ If you want greater success at any level of competition, the team needs to say no to the little voice and to grow its collective spiritual side, the one that visualises victory. Congratulations to all boys selected in GPS competition teams. Good luck for the season. "

Tennis Reports

16 As and Bs Tennis Report
13/10/2012

The first week of the GPS trials for the 16 Bs tennis team went great, with five of the six matches that were played, resulting in a victory. Our B4, Angus Wu, did particularly well by defeating his opponent with a whopping score of 6-0. However, our As did not have such a fortunate day with the loss of all 6 matches. However, this will only encourages our team to train harder to win our upcoming games, where we will perform to the best of our abilities as 16 As and Bs of High Tennis 2012-13.

3rd-6th Grade Tennis Match Report

Last Saturday, our team faced St Joseph’s College for our first match. Unfortunately, we were sorely underprepared from our return from the winter season. However, several players produced promising performances for the Summer season. Denny Dien narrowly lost in a closely fought match being edged out 4-6 in the No 1 position in 3rds while Alan Stoneham cruised through with a smashing victory of 6-1 playing No 3. Doubles proved to be our weak point, with the team losing both 3rds double pairs.

4ths fared better with a narrow victory in the first doubles pair winning 6-5 but this was after Edward Zhang filled in from the 3rds as a stand-in for that doubles match.

1st Grade
After a long offseason, High headed out to Joeys for the first match of the trial season. With 5 members of last season’s team returning this season, the boys were excited and well prepared for action. The day started off well with High winning all 3 doubles matches. Number 1 doubles, Brian and Pat outplayed their opponents to win 6-2 6-2. New doubles combinations Frank and Eddy, Josh and Adam gelled well in their respective matches winning 6-3 6-4. The winning continued into the singles matches with Brian easily dispatching his opponent 6-0 6-1. A flawless performance by Patrick left his opponent with the dreaded score line of a ‘double bagel’ 6-0 6-0. Frank had to overcome a slow start to prevail 7-5 6-2, while Josh and Adam played exceptionally well, displaying the amount of training they have done in the offseason to win 6-1 6-0 and 6-2 6-1. Eddy who made his 1st grade debut on Saturday played a superb and controlled game despite being taken to three sets to capture his first singles win in 1st grade 6-4 2-6 6-3. The final result, High winning the trial rubber 12 matches to 0 completing our first whitewash since 2002. The boys look forward to taking this performance into this week’s trial against Newington.

2nd Grade
In the opening match of the season, 2nd grade played St Joseph’s in a tough and valuable rubber. With half the players new to the team, this encounter gave them a taste of the best-of-three set matches and the quality of their opponents. The number 1 doubles of Ian and Yuan faced a big serving and aggressive Joeys pair. Although we played a close match, we were unable to win key points and were broken late in each set, going down 3-6 4-6. Number 2 doubles were comprised of Carl and Richard, and they performed well in their first match. However, their opponents were too consistent, triumphing 1-6 2-6. Number 3 doubles of Ryo and Bohan played exceedingly well, pushing their opponents to a super tiebreaker. Fighting back from a set down, they lost momentum after the second and were unable to close out the match going down 1-6 6-2 4-10. In the singles, Ian fought hard in the first set, but was inconsistent in the second and let the match slip 5-7 1-6. Yuan played an opponent with a very strong serve, and unfortunately was unable to overcome it to go down 2-6 4-6. Carl fought hard at number 3 against a consistent opponent, but narrowly went down 3-6 4-6. Bohan played well in his first 2nd grade match but was outclassed by his opponent 1-6 2-6. Richard played well on debut against a tough opponent, losing 3-6 0-6. Ryo played a long and tiring match, with both players evenly matched, but ultimately went down to a more consistent opponent 3-6 5-7. While it was not a successful rubber, our team received important match experience and will be looking for better results against our next opponents Newington.

Welcome and Information Morning for Rowing Parents
It was terrific to see so many parents at the High Rowing Sheds at Abbotsford on Saturday morning. Information sessions, morning tea, and tours of the Outterside Centre were provided for parents and everyone seemed happy, relaxed and pleased to be involved.

How parents can help –

•  Junior parents are needed to help out with the barbecue for the boys as they come off the water on Saturday mornings.
• Senior/Y10 parents are required to assist in running the camps at the Outterside Centre involving meal preparation and overnight supervision. 

All parent involvement is very enjoyable in a wonderful location.

The parent committee meets once a month throughout the rowing season (6 meetings) and we are always looking for new parents to become involved. Our next meeting is Wednesday 7 November at 7pm in the common room at the school.
