High Notes, Vol 15 No 37, November 21 2014

From the Principal

High Talent
Brandon Yoon (Year 8) has been selected to attend the Volleyball Australia U15 camp from December 12 to 18 to be held in Melbourne. He was spotted and tested by Scouts from Volleyball Australia. Well done, Brandon! Congratulations to the first grade tennis team for completing the Trial season undefeated.

The Governors Centre – Monthly Giving Scheme
For new and existing parents – there is a really painless way to help the school reach its development objectives – the Monthly Giving Scheme.  Our school’s highest priority is to commence construction of the Governors Centre by Q315.  The Centre will greatly increase the school’s capacity to hold lectures, drama productions, musical recitals, examinations and receptions. In a Joint Project with SGHS, we have to raise the $8 million necessary for completion of the building. The funds are being raised entirely by the two school communities. The Monthly Giving Scheme allows you to make a deduction each month from your nominated credit card account. Deductions occur around the 15th of each month. In June, the office sends you a statement for taxation purposes including the total of your donations for the year. I urge you to do as I do and make a regular financial investment in public education.

Notifying Absences on Saturdays
Students who are suddenly ill or have a personal or family misadventure are expected to communicate their non-attendance through the Student Portal up to one hour before the scheduled starting time of their matches. It is recommended that boys also ring their coaches or supervising teachers / sports Year coordinator to inform them so that alternative arrangements can still be made. An explanatory note should then be placed in the box outside the PE staff room before 9am on Monday morning.

Scholarship Applications
There is only one week left for students to apply for the Phillip Day and Sir Roden and Lady Cutler Scholarships. If you have financial needs due to family or special circumstances; if you are a great all-rounder; or if you have a special talent that needs extra resources to help you develop, please consider applying. Application forms can be downloaded from the school website. Applications close on Friday, November 28.

End of year Reports
All boys in Years 11, 9 and 7 should have discussed their reports with me. Boys in Year 7 requiring Clearance Forms who have not collected their reports will have time slots available to book in for interviews next week. Thereafter, they will join the other Years in having appointments only out of school time or in breaks. Please make sure that your son meets his obligations to the school and then books in for an appointment.

Student Award Scheme
Last points for the Award Scheme can be earned up to next Friday. If you check your participation file and detect that something is missing, it is up to you notify the MIC in charge of the activity to have the text file of successful participants compiled and placed in the Participation 2014 folder on the school network. Awards have to be determined and medallions/plaques ordered before the end of the school year so that they will be ready in time for our awards assemblies early next year.

‘Bring Your Own Device’ Program: Advice for 2015

Application of this Advice

The Sydney Boys High School Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program has now been finalised for 2015. All documentation has been updated and is available for you to view on the BYOD website at:

All students heading into Years 7 – 10 2015 are expected to bring a device of their own choosing and ownership to school each day. In addition, any student with a Digital Education Revolution laptop (students in Years 11 – 12, 2015) may also bring their own device to school under this BYOD program.

Recommended Devices

You may elect to bring any device which meets the Device Specification. However, selecting a technology device is not simple, and the Specification is particular. Our recommended devices are designed to simplify your choices and purchasing processes.

Sydney Boys High School has again partnered with ASI Solutions to make our recommended devices available:

Microsoft Surface Pro 3

• 12" Touch Screen
• 4rd Generation Intel Core Processor – Core i3 and Core i5 options available
• 4GB RAM, 64GB/128GB Solid State Disk
• Surface Pro 3 Type Cover
• 3 Year Warranty

The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is the best convertible multi-touch device available. The device has an excellent quality screen and is supplied with the Surface Pro 3 type cover. The Surface is an exceptionally versatile device for use with our BYOD program.

Lenovo ThinkPad X240

• 12.5" Screen – HD and FHD options available
• 4th Generation Intel Core Processor – Core i3 and Core i5 options available
• 4GB RAM, 128GB Solid State Disk
• 3 Year On-site Warranty

The ThinkPad X240 is a thin and very light device that fits well in a school bag. Battery life is excellent. Looked after, the X240 should readily complete four years of high school service.

Lenovo ThinkPad 11e (Windows)

• 11.6" HD Screen
• 4th Generation Intel Processor
• 4GB RAM, 128GB Solid State Disk
• 3 Year On-site Warranty

The ThinkPad 11e is Lenovo’s speciality education product. It features rubber bumpers and a thicker screen surround to help it withstand the bumps inherent with bringing a device to school. It’s heavier and a slower device than the other options, but is well positioned for our BYOD program.

Why Purchase a Recommended Device?

All our recommended devices are configured to meet the device specification comfortably. All feature solid state disks and so have no moving parts. Warranties are a minimum of 3 years. Lenovo devices feature an on-site warranty which means the device can be fixed by a technician at school, ensuring its maximum availability. A four year warranty option is also available.

Additionally, Accidental Damage Protection insurance is available as an option for your peace of mind.

Recommended devices are available at a discount from their retail pricing through our device purchasing portal.

How to Purchase a Recommended Device

You may purchase a recommended device from our purchasing portal. Visit the BYOD website for instructions to access the portal and place an order. The purchasing portal is available to all families of Sydney Boys High School students.

You need the following code to register for the Purchasing Portal:

Sbhs@14

Note the code is case-sensitive. Devices ordered through the Purchasing Portal will take three to four weeks to become available. You can opt to pick up your order from the ASI Solutions office in Botany (open through the January holidays) or from the school’s BYOD Technical Support office (Room 703) during school term.

Other Device Options

There are dozens of suitable devices in the market for you to choose from apart from those which we recommend and which you can buy through our purchasing portal. For example, the following transformer devices (with touch and detachable keyboard) all meet the BYOD program's Device Specification:

• Acer Aspire Switch
• Apple iPad Air with Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover
• Asus Transformer Book T100
• Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga

No recommended device is an Apple Macintosh laptop, but both the 11" and 13" MacBook Air meet all the Device Specification requirements.

Take care to ensure your chosen device meets the Device Specification. Ensuring it meets the requirements for Wireless Network connectivity can be difficult when buying in store.

An important note about software

No recommended device ships with Microsoft Office, but a word processor and a spreadsheet product are a requirement of the Software section of the Device Specification. Microsoft Office for Windows and Macintosh is available to students for free. Students can log into the Student Portal to find instructions for obtaining this software.

Getting Started with a Device

The BYOD program website has information for students on what to do before bringing a device to school for the first time. Following the procedure described will ensure the device can be connected quickly and used smoothly at school.

1st Grade
Determined, motivated and confident, High Tennis travelled away for the third week in a row aiming to consolidate our undefeated pre-season and in first place.  We were able to prevail with our tightest win so far with stellar, clutch performances from Carl and Matthew to seal the deal only with minutes remaining in the day. Number 1 and 3 doubles played uncharacteristic doubles, unfortunately both losing out to opponents with interesting game styles, while Number 2 Josh and Stevie continued their hot form in a solid two set performance. Josh and Stevie both comfortably dispatched their opposition and with two matches left remaining on the courts it was up to Matthew and Carl to both win their matches, or otherwise fail to secure the much needed rubber before Round 1 of the GPS season next week. Although Carl lost the first the team did not question Carl’s ability to come back from the deficit and be victorious. Matthew also, despite a questionable second set secured the day’s victory. We look forward to Scots College and to their attempt of challenging both First and Second Grade tennis.
Adam Smagarinsky
First Grade Captain

2nd Grade
2nd Grade hosted St Ignatius College for the final trial match of the year on a windy afternoon. The first doubles pair played a near perfect first set, but an increase in the opponents’ level of play in the second set and match tiebreak resulted in a 6-1 1-6 6-10 loss. The number two doubles had a tough match but their aggressive play ultimately overcame their opponents 6-2 4-6 11-9. The third pair, like the other two, dropped the second set after winning the first, but were able to finish strong 6-4 1-6 10-7. With all three of the doubles matches going into match tiebreaks, we knew the singles were going to be equally close. Richard started the match well, comfortably winning the first set. However, his opponent’s defensive skills proved too good in the second and third sets, 6-3 3-6 3-6. James played a consistent opponent and could not find a way to get on top, losing 4-6 2-6. Danny fought hard to win the opening set in a tiebreaker, before running away with the second set, 7-6(1) 6-2. Branko could not find any rhythm against a solid opponent, going down 1-6 1-6. Wanyu recovered from a difficult first set to cruise through the next two, winning 2-6 6-0 6-1. With the score locked at 4 matches all on the day, Aaron was battling at 3-1 down in the final set. His determination and fight helped the team over the line, with a 6-3 4-6 6-4 victory. Although the team did not play their best tennis, the 5-4 win is a good result against a strong team. The boys will be training hard this week in preparation for the first round of the GPS season against Scots College.

MIC of Cricket Report
We had a good weekend of results winning three with a couple of narrow losses. The 1st XI fought hard to the end having Riverview 7 down until they passed their total. Well done to Louis Saunders for top scoring for the season so far with 91. Bad luck once again to our 5th XI who have had a very narrow loss.

This term we see many of our teams go on fantastic cricket tours. Our top Year 9 cricketers will be participating in the annual Barberis Cup which is played against Melbourne High School. This year our boys will be travelling to Melbourne from 16th – 19th November. The U15s and U14s cricketers participate in the annual East Coast Cup against Brisbane High School and they will be travelling up to Brisbane from 23rd – 26th November. Then our main tour which the 1st XI compete in is the highly competitive 5 Highs Tour. This year Brisbane is hosting the carnival and our boys will be travelling from the 30th November – 5th December.

In the July holidays 2015 we are aiming to participate in a once in a life time opportunity to play in a cricket tournament hosted in Sri Lanka. We will be representing our school and Australia in the “World Premier Schools Cricket Challenge” Tournament. This is open to anyone in the current U15s-Opens cricket team. If you are interested in attending please notify me by email.

I have created a Twitter account for regular updates in results, information and wet weather. This does not replace the school wet weather website. The link can be accessed by phone or web browser without signing in or having a twitter account.

To all parents and players, don’t forget to go through the points below:

• Please make sure that all the boys wear SBHS logo hats, tops and long white pants.
• They are not to wear thongs to and from their fixtures.
• Apply plenty of sunscreen throughout the day.
• Make sure they drink plenty of water and carry a drink bottle with them to training and fixtures.
• Please notify their coaches if they are unable to attend training or their fixture.

High Tide

Sydney Boys High School Sailing 

15 November 2014

A strong wind warning and a southerly buster on Friday night promised testing conditions for racing on Saturday morning, but this wasn’t to be the case, as the wind was a very light S at 3-8 knots, but sufficient for the High sailors to round Point Piper on the way to Rose Bay.

With three races held, the most successful sailors were the Yan brothers, Angelo and Dallas. Sailing with Kai Huang and Kim Nicholls, Angelo had a well-deserved second in the first short race and a top ten placing in the second race. Dallas sailed well in the first race, at one point being third around the top mark, but he tacked too early and was buried by the advancing boats on starboard. His result though was impressive and will raise his overall position on the table of around forty boats for the series.

Other crews failed to capitalise on the light conditions to advance their overall positions. Bad starts, sailing in

foul air and not enforcing their rights in the two-boat circle at congested turning marks, were all evident areas where improvement could occur in the three races held. High sailors will need to further hone their competitive interpretations of the sailing rules and not get bluffed out of rights by sailors from other schools.

Kai Matsumoto and Darren Taing and crews were sailing well, but they never gained enough clean air to press for the lead. Some of the less experienced sailors also need to perfect their starting technique to give themselves a chance of winning races.

With the wind rising to over 10 knots for the final race, High sailors again were in the middle of the fleet and finished with plenty of other boats in front of them. On the sail back to Double Bay, the crews took over the skippering and they impressed with their skills in the stronger breeze.

This week against Riverview was tough.  Firsts came out as victors against the undefeated Riverview team.  A HUGE first quarter from Jack Hutchinson got the team fired up - can he play four quarters like that and boost his team over the top of everyone? Bailey Musulin was the top scorer with 23 points, but was closely followed by Nirvan Chand, who top scored in the 15 As with 18 points.  However this was not enough for the 15 As, losing by just 8 points.

This week in 15s was big, with wins in all teams from Bs to Fs.  The 16s put on a solid performance. All but Bs and Cs winning (with the Bs having an 18 – 18, low scoring draw).

Scots are up next.  Firsts however will be competing in the Raschke Cup and Seconds in the Yeend Shield.  Good luck to all teams, and go High!

22 November - put it in your diary

Dear Bees,

After the all round success of the first B, we are now planning the 2nd B

We have several projects we would like to tackle.

Project 1. The COLA Space.
We are going to refresh this space by cleaning it with high pressure water blasters and repainting the furniture and some of the walls in really nice colours, based on the existing mosaic.

So we need people who can:

• Help in removing the timber slats and re fixing them back on with the aid of a cordless drill!
• Sand the timber slats thoroughly for painting.
• Paint neatly
• Wash and prepare larger wall areas, and then help paint them.
• Use a water blaster- it is easy, once you learn

Project 2. The Courtyard
We are going to straighten up and weed and clip the planters around the courtyard. If we can we will also plant some varying plants in them.

So we need people who can:

• Help lift, clean and straighten the pots.
• Garden, clip and prune the existing plants
• Help us plant new plants.
• If there is time and enough people, we would also like to finish cleaning the colonnade. This means water blasting skills also.
• Put together scaffolding
