High Notes, Vol 8 No 10, April 27 2007

From the Principal
Welcome Back
Welcome back to staff, students, parents and supporters. Term two is
always the busiest term as examinations, assessments and reporting all have to be completed for
the entire school in ten weeks. Everyone is under pressure to meet deadlines. We change into
winter sport competition this week so students and parents will need to make an effort to source
all communication channels – High Notes, school website, sports website links, and GPS
website – to keep informed about activities.
High Talent
Congratulations to Jason Kok (Year 12) on his selection in the NSW
Public Schools Symphonic Wind ensemble. A big ‘thank you’ to all the students and
staff who represented High at the Anzac Day March in the CBD. The High Marching Band was by all
accounts the biggest and best we have sent to the march so far. Your efforts, particularly in
trying weather conditions, were admirable and a credit to the school.
Staffing Changes
Welcome to High to Mr Peter Loizou, our newly appointed Head Teacher
Social Sciences, formerly a teacher at Randwick Boys High. Welcome back to Mr Smith, returned
from long service leave. Two very unfortunate accidents have left PE short staffed. Mr Farrington
ruptured his Achilles tendon playing basketball and Mr Ryan was seriously injured in a cycling
accident. The High community wishes them both a speedy recovery and rehabilitation. For term 2 Mr
Matthew Hoggett will replace Mr Ryan, while regular relief teacher Mr Brian McDermott will fill
in for Mr Farrington.
Submission for the Additional Year 9 Class
Our proposal for an extra class for Year
9 2008 has gone from the School Education Director to the Sydney Region Director and is now with
the Director, Educational Measurement and School Accountability. I hope to have a decision on
whether we are allowed to establish this class for next year soon. My feedback so far has been
negative, given the Minister’s recently announced expansion of selective school places. It
may be that political, rather than departmental support will be required to see it through.
The New Classroom Demountable 801
In preparation for our proposed expansion to 7
classes in Year 9, the school community has purchased and installed a top of the line 7.2 X 9m
demountable. It is carpeted and air conditioned and has been connected to McDonald Wing for power
and data. The demountable is being financed using P & C ($18k) and Sydney Boys High Building
Fund monthly instalments of $1,900 for three years. Hopefully, in the medium term, 5-10 years,
the new library will be constructed thereby easing the pressure on general classroom
accommodation. The demountable could then be sold or assigned other uses. This classroom provides
a most welcome new facility for the benefit of our students.
Sir Roden Cutler Memorial Gates
In the holidays, thanks to efforts by the Department
of Commerce, our memorial stone has been laid outside the gates in the garden. Ben Ingle built
the edging, fashioned and planted the garden. A garden inside the wall is being constructed too,
under the guidance of Ms Mary Ann Cradock and Marcia Shepherd. Additional plants and shrubs are
being planted. New trees will also be planted around the site. The uplights should be fitted next
week. The dedication plaque has been made. I hope all will be in readiness a couple of weeks
before the Governor-General comes to dedicate the gates. The gates project has taken five years
to complete. I trust it will be respected by all our students.
The Phillip Day Memorial Trust Appeal
There has been a good response to this appeal
so far. Thank you to all those who have given so generously thus far. A small committee of High
staff has been formed to promote the appeal and to determine the range of physical and financial
tributes that will be established with the proceeds. I urge people who admired and respected Phil
to support this appeal in his memory. We will close off the appeal and make decisions about it
this term.
Electronic High Notes
Anecdotally, I have heard that readership of High Notes has
declined since it has gone out electronically. I would really like to know how much substance is
in that suggestion. If you would like to have your son receive a hard copy of High Notes, please
register via the office email account and he can collect a copy each Friday.

UNSW Invitational Debating Tournament
The UNSW Invitational Debating Tournament held on March 18 was an enriching experience for those
involved. This year, we sent six junior teams: three teams each in Years 7 and 8. It is great to
see the enthusiasm of the new Year 7s.
All the Year 7 teams showed up, but two Year 8 debaters were unable to attend. Unfortunately,
they were both from the same team, meaning it was left with only two people in it. Our fourth
speaker, Michael Tickner, had to give up his place in our team, and debate for the other team. So
our team consisted of only three members: Samir Kinger, Ashwin Rudder, and Nikhil Autar.
Our first debate was against Pittwater House 2. The topic was an interesting one: That
car-pooling should be compulsory. This was a relatively easy win for us.
The second debate was against a Sydney Boys High Year 7 team. The topic was That 50% of seats in
all political parties should be reserved for women. The Year 7 team was a great example of
budding new debaters that should go a long way this year. We managed to overcome them, to move
onto the third round.
The third debate was a very close one. Our opponents were Killara High, who had also won both of
their debates, and it meant that whoever won this would proceed to the final. The topic was That
Australia is a good global citizen. In a very close debate, the momentum swung from one team to
the other. The adjudicator was not allowed to give us the results until the finalists were
announced, meaning we would not know who had won until that time.
We returned to the quadrangle for afternoon tea. The suspense began to mount. More time passed
without it ever looking like the finalists would be announced. The suspense and nervousness
continued to rise. About half an hour passed before we were finally called into the auditorium.
At last they announced the finalists. The first was Pittwater House 1. And the other
was…us!
The topic was That private schools should not get public funding. We were affirmative. As they
are a private school, this was sure to lead to an interesting debate. In the end, they lost it by
repeatedly insisting that without public funding they would miss out on their
“luxuries”. We were able to win, with the five adjudicators voting 4-1 our way.
A thank you must go to the other Year 8 debaters and parents who stayed behind and sacrificed
their Sunday evening to watch us in the final.

Sydney Boys High School Rowing Committee
I think it fair to say we can all breathe a sigh of relief that the season has ended.
Just a reminder - the next one is just around the corner.
There have been many people throughout the season who have pitched in and helped with the many
different tasks; be it the SBHS Regatta at Hen and Chicken Bay, the cutting of rolls on Saturday
or the helping with the BBQ. To those committed parents at the shed every week, thank you very
much.
As the season closed, I had the opportunity to attend the Rowing Assembly. If you have never
attended one, I recommend you do, it was a special day.
Rowing Staff
On behalf of the committee a huge thank you to the all the teachers,
coaches and staff for their contribution and support for the boys throughout the season.
Head of the River
I would like to thank Sara Eriksson and Juliet Schilling for
decorating the shed for the boys and also the people who pitched-in in the kitchen with the rolls
etc. On the BBQ thanks to Barry Shuttleworth, Sam and Nicholas Phillis, for cooking many a
sausage and Peter Ambrose and Julie Blomberg at the bar.
The Working Bee
What a great turnout! Thanks to everyone that came along.
Noticeable was the activity in the kitchen, the BBQ (Yuk) and around the boat house. The sheets
are gone for decontamination and ready for next year.
Fundraiser
Please do not forget this important date, May 18. I have a table with 8 vacancies available for
those of you who have not yet booked a space.
This event has all the hallmarks of a great night!
The Committee
As happens each year the parents of the year 12 boys move on and this
year is no exception. There will be a number of vacancies on the committee and it would be great
if we could see senior parents pick up a few of the positions.
Junior parents (year 7 or 8), we are in desperate need of people to learn the ropes by join the
committee and required is a BBQ coordinator for Saturdays.
In closing, I would like to thank the committee for all the hard work put in during the season. I
would like to pass on a special thanks to Andy Frieman and Judith Shuttleworth for their enormous
effort in catering; Merrilee Linegar our nutritionist and to Elizabeth Hurrell our long suffering
treasurer. Sadly all of these ladies are leaving us.
Until we all meet up again, thanks for your support.

Model United Nations Assembly
Year 10 and 11 Student Opportunity
Model United Nations Assembly or MUNA is about developing appropriate minds for a peaceful and
purposeful global future. MUNA events are mini versions of events negotiated in the same style
and using the same protocol as in the UN. MUNA challenges young people to respect and tolerate
differences of race, religion and nationalism whilst retaining their own individualism and the
best of their national traditions. MUNA is a unique and important opportunity for students to
research issues from different perspectives and gain a greater understanding of issues facing and
shaping our world.
It is a very challenging day for the students who have to synthesise their research with what is
presented by other nations on the day and re-evaluate their stance with regard to what has been
presented.
There are two MUNA events being held in our region in 2007.
Sydney Rotary MUNA
Saturday May 19, Nan Tien Temple, Wollongong
Year 11 students - two teams of three people.
This is a senior level competition in which students are allocated a nation to represent.
Successful teams may go on to represent NSW and Australia at higher levels of the competition.
Further details at
Randwick Girls High School MUNA
Thursday June 21, Randwick Girls High School.
Year 10 Students - up to 12 students
This competition is in its second year and is a great introduction to the protocols and
conventions of the UN. Last year SBHS won the event.
Coaching for Rotary MUNA starts April 26
Preparation and research is the key to success in MUNA events. SBHS provides coaching by Julia
Fetherston (two time world Schools debating Champion) on Thursday mornings from 7.30am
starting from week 1 of term 2. No experience in public speaking or debating is necessary.
If you are interested in participating in either of these events please see Ms Brewer in Social
Sciences or email

Congratulations to all students who participated in the ANZAC Day
parade, they were stunning to watch and listen to. They are a credit to their school in the way
they presented themselves in the march. A special mention needs to be made about the mature and
quiet leadership of Anthony Ho, Drum Major. His discipline was reflected in everything they did.
Well done Anthony.

Sydney High Football: The Onion Bag
This Saturday marks the start of the winter sports season. Trial matches are scheduled for this
weekend v Cranbrook.
All players need to ensure that they know their fixture times and venues. Remember to organise
your travel arrangements and plan to be at the venue at least 45 minutes prior to kick off. This
allows time to gear up and be fully warmed up and prepared for the match. As a courtesy to the
team, if you are running late, a call to either the coach or a fellow team member can greatly
reduce the disruption to the team.
Details of Cranbrook’s Dangar fields can be found at
All other games will be at High grounds.
With the recent wet weather there is the possibility that the fixtures may be cancelled. The wet
weather numbers are:
Dangar Fields – 9294 5089 and MPW/ McKay fields 93396670
During the holidays, High’s 1st grade squad, along with 9 other schools, played in the St
Andrews cup which was held at Newington College. High played four games over two days. Whilst the
results were not as we would have liked, encouragingly, there was a noticeable improvement in
team play and cohesion. This was particularly evident in a trial match v Scots played on the last
Saturday of the holidays.

Real Rowing for Rigour Racing Shells on the Parramatta River
If you want to learn Rowing in Sydney, then this course of 6 classes is for you. Whether you are
a raw land lubber or have some previous experience, come and learn the skills of rowing. If your
son is a rower then here is another experience that you can share. If your son does not row then
you are still most welcome to join these classes. Rowing is the ideal aerobic sport for the
entire body as it is low impact and has a low incidence of injury. You will also enjoy messing
about in boats as well as the magic moments of early mornings on the water. Further courses will
be planned for Terms 3-4. Under 18 Learners must be accompanied by a participating adult.
Agenda
Week 1
Orientation to the pontoon area
Racing shell setup
Safety precautions

Weeks 2-6

Learning Outcomes
At the completion of the course participants will possess the
following skills and knowledge:
- Basic knowledge of rowing style and boat rigging
- Basic navigation rules and river etiquette
- Ability to row with a crew in a racing shell
Other Information
Complete crews are desirable but not essential. Other adult participants from a number of
Community Colleges will also be in attendance. Make-up crews can be arranged in the IVs and VIIIs
used.
Safety Notes: Participants must be able to swim 50 metres and tread water as a safety
requirement. All participants must sign The ̽»¨ÊÓÆµ Foundation Indemnity Form, stating
swimming ability, before they are allowed on the water. Qualified coaches will be appointed to
take charge of each crew.
Participants should bring: a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, snack, water, well-fitting shorts
and top (loose clothing may become caught in rigging), football socks as well as a change of
clothes to wear home. All participants must wear suitable footwear (no thongs or sandals) for
