New Senior Under Officer Anthony received his new badges of rank from Major Jeff Page, Officer Commanding, 23rd Army Cadet Battalion in front of a mass parade of all cadets of the Battalion at Holsworthy. Best wishes to Anthony in his new role as the senior member of the Unit. Taking up CUO Ho’s old position as Company Sergeant Major is SGT Denis Stojanovic.
New Staff Member Mr Clegg has a distinguished record as a cadet with SHSCU having reached the rank of CUO and being awarded the Colonel Duffy Sword in his final year at school. We look forward to 2LT Clegg taking up his new position as Training Officer (although we have to wait a week or two while he completes a walk of the Kokoda Track).

Congratulations to the 40 Year 12 students who participated in the excursion to Harlos
Productions ‘King Lear’ at the New Theatre on Saturday. These students proved that it
is possible to be sufficiently organised during assessment weeks to be able to include time for
an afternoon’s close study of a core text which will enhance their understanding of course
requirements and improve their results in this part of the Advanced course. It was an engaging
and entertaining performance. After the play, the director, David Ritchie made himself available
for an extended question time. Ms Ayre, Ms Barry and Ms Eggleton were gratified by the enthusiasm
of our students and by the quality of questions which reflected insight and understanding. They
certainly provoked the director into detailed analysis of his production which is exactly what we
wanted. Great work, boys! It was a worthwhile experience for all of us. Some reasons the English language is hard to understandThe bandage was wound around the wound The farm was used to produce produce The dump was so full it had to refuse more refuse We must polish the Polish furniture He could lead if he got the lead out The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert There is no time like the present to present the present A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes I did not object to the object The insurance was invalid for the invalid There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row They were too close to the door to close it The buck does funny things when the does are present To help with the planting the farmer taught his sow to sow I shed a tear to see the tear in the painting I had to subject the subject to a series of paintings I could not wind the fishing line because of the wind

TO ALL MY FRIENDS AT HIGH As the afternoon unfolded I could see just how much time and effort had gone into its planning. The flowers and gifts so carefully chosen, students with music for my pleasure (a treat I will always remember) and a circle of beautiful people with whom I shared my afternoon. It was special just as you too, dear friends, will always be – a beautiful memory.
Many thanks to everyone involved in organising my wonderful afternoon. Sydney Boys High School: The Foundation Years

Hard Hit outs at the Hill The 2nd XV matched it with the Joeys 6th grade in all aspects of the game, and often bettered them in the backs. The 16s and 15s showed great determination against brutal Joeys outfits. The 1sts were simply out matched in every facet, but held their heads high, despite a tough game. The 13As played a respectable loss against a more experienced Joey’s team.
Team of the Week: 16As- Did the school proud playing against a freakishly talented Joeys
side
1st XV (Opens) Report:
Rugby News Robert Chen: Robert Chen has recently resumed work in the Gym despite a shoulder injury sustained against Grammar and a corked thigh against Joeys. Robert is looking forward to increasing his bench press, Squat and deadlift in order to improve his game. He is also sprinting under twelve seconds. Robert trains hard and plays hard. More juniors should aim to be like Robert.

Coordinator Match Results - Vs St Joseph’s College 21 June
Age Group Reports 16s: The 16Bs played a well structured game placing the Joeys team under constant pressure. Big tackles and innovative play led to a very tight and exciting game. The mighty Bs went down fighting 10-7. Outstanding performances by Daniel Morgan and Justin Hajj were noted. 15As: Within the first five minutes Joeys had scored three tries. We all realised that the match would be a lot harder than we had anticipated. At the half it was 38-0. Through the second half Joeys continued to dominate in all aspects of play. Potential tries were stopped due to fantastic hits by Leon Li, as well as strong runs by Frank Li and a solid first game for our new halfback Shimon Danziger, who was quick to every ruck. With five minutes to go it was 76-0, however, the boys kept their heads up and fought hard right till the final whistle. We will continue to train throughout the next few weeks and hope that the result of our next game is much more promising. 14s: No match reports submitted. Reports to be submitted to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it after each game. 13s: The 13As had a decent game, but were beaten by a much better drilled St Josephs team. Julian was a tackling powerhouse and Max was also great defensively. The highlight of the game was probably Edward scoring an almost full field try.
