High Notes, Vol 7 No 39, December 08 2006
From the Principal
High Talent
Congratulations to Charley Peng, our High Chess champion 2006. Belated
congratulations to Phillip Kurts for his second place in the NSW Sabot championships. Dominic
Bowes has been awarded the Lily Gunther Trophy for Best Debater in the Junior State Debating
Championships. Well done, Dominic! Michael Coutts won this award last year, following Oscar
Maclaren (1998), demonstrating the strength of High debating at state level.
Corridor Behaviour
It has come to my attention that instances of pushing and shoving
are occurring in corridors affecting junior boys particularly. In some cases it might be just
impatient older boys not respecting the rights of younger ones and being bullies. In others there
may be congestion and contributing factors caused by junior boys themselves. Corridors need to be
kept clear. Boys should not be sitting down in corridors blocking the transit of others. Boys
lining up outside rooms ought to remain in line and not form groups, obstructing the corridor.
School bags are not to be left in corridors obstructing traffic. The rule about moving through
corridors is simple - keep to your left. This is also true of stairs. When we cooperate with one
another there is no problem.
Staff members are asked to step to the door of their classrooms between periods to monitor
corridor traffic. Staff in staffrooms are asked to respond to noises of students running in
corridors or any sounds of pushing or affray. Occupational Health and Safety is everyone's
responsibility. Students who have been harassed or pushed in corridors are urged to report the
incident to a teacher.
High Chess
Thank you to the 120 boys who stepped up to challenge for the High
championship of Chess. The interest in this activity is growing rapidly. Organisers Alex Feldman
and Mr Harvey had to limit competitors to 60. The event was well conducted and transparently
scored. Other accomplished players apart from Charley were runners up Dawen Shi and Edward Lu.
Thank you to assistants Jason Cohn and Steven Zheng who helped out rather than competing. Chess
is in good hands as we look forward to 2007 as the holders of the NSW Junior Chess League trophy
board for School Junior Chess. This trophy has been awarded since 1979 and High has won it only
once before in 1991. Thank you again to Mr Harvey, Alex and the Chess Committee for their effort
to inspire a resurgence of Chess at High this year.
School Uniform Policy
Students must wear full school uniform in a full uniform
school. The SRC and the P & C recommend policy on school uniform to the Principal. No one has
asked me to alter the policy. We need to enforce it. When I ask boys to tuck in shirts and do up
ties to the throat or do up collar buttons, they comply most willingly. My sense is that they all
know what the correct dress code is but choose to test staff resolve at every opportunity. Boys
with this attitude ought not to go unchecked. Insist on correct dress code from boys entering
classes. Self-discipline needs to be practised. William James astutely observed: 'The greatest
discovery of any generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude'.
Let us not complain about declining standards of school dress, let us do something to make
conformity commonplace.
Electronic Devices at School
'Discman' or 'I-pod' devices have not been banned at
High as they have in many schools. We understand students might want to be entertained while
commuting or waiting for or between events / lessons / appointments. Nevertheless, restrictions
apply. Junior students are not to bring these devices to school. They are prone to being left
lying around, or to being stolen or damaged. Seniors may bring these devices to school entirely
at their own risk. Teachers may confiscate devices being listened to, watched or manipulated
during class time. Teachers do not accept responsibility for the safety of these items. High does
not ban mobiles. We know boys do many things after hours and need to be able to contact their
families and friends. Again, the school is being reasonable but has restrictions. Mobile phones
have to be switched off during class time. Teachers may confiscate mobiles activated in class.
Students in class with headphones on will be assumed to be breaking the rule. These rules are
clearly stated in the School Diary 2006. Let us all cooperate to abide by them.

Year 7 and 8 State Debating Championships
The Premiers Debating Challenge (PDC) is conducted each year by the NSW DET's Performing Arts
Unit. The Years 7 and 8 competition is called the Teasdale Cup and this year the 8A GPS Debating
team, consisting of Antony Paul, Maxwell Phillis, Puneet Baweja and John Aclis, won their
regional final and attended the 3 day State Debating Championships held on a camp at Sydney
University.
According to the results of the debates:
- Every student should be given a laptop,
- MP3 players should be banned at our schools,
- Cars should not be banned in our cities, and
- Compulsory voting is not true democracy.
The 8As qualified for the competition by winning the Sydney Region of the Premier's Debating
challenge, which had been running for the past month or so.
The ten teams at the State competition were divided into two pools of five, for a round robin.
The top two teams from each pool qualified for the semi finals. The 8As won three of their four
debates, losing their first debate on an unlucky technicality. This meant that they were tied
with two other teams each with three out of four wins - the team from Western Sydney (Baulkham
Hills), and the team from Hunter Central Coast (Maitland Grossman). As a countback of who beat
whom didn't resolve anything, the adjudicators held a meeting to choose the top two teams. The
8As were not chosen, as the adjudicators felt that although the 8As had by far the most
potential, they had not yet proven themselves through what they had presented so far.
The eventual winners were Baulkham Hills High, representing Western Sydney, even though the 8As
beat them in the round robin. The final debate was "that military intervention should be used
against North Korea". Quite a tricky topic for a bunch of 13/14 year olds!
At the camp, the 8As met new people, some of whom were female, played a lot of giant chess in
their recreational time and had quite an intensive debating learning experience, identifying a
lot of areas of improvement for next season. One team member even managed to contract some sort
of nasty allergy to the food. It was a great experience, and three days off school.
Thanks to Mr Webb and Miss Brewer for "minding" us at camp and the adjudicators Hamish, Julia,
Amy and Alison for their great feedback.

Parking and Holiday Practice
What a great term. Well done to all teams. In
particular it was pleasing to see the juniors improving so rapidly. Hang in there guys! :) I know
you are losing some games now but it will turn around for you if you keep up the quality practice
on your own and with your coaches. Look at our 15 years team-They lost many games when they
played 13 years and 14 years. Last week every 15 years team won!!
The 16 As are on the rise with two wins to finish the season. It is easy to win early on. It is
much harder to win late in the season after losing games. It shows the strength of character in
the team and your coach.
Thank you to all coaching staff for your efforts. It is making a BIG difference. The full court
man to man tactics are working. We need to work a bit more at training on full court traps to
complement our man to man.
I am really looking forward to term one. Go High Basketball!
Parking is on again .. SUNDAY 10 DECEMBER.
Please support High basketball.
It's a Robbie Williams concert so will fill early and should be a good earner for basketball. We
need some to start at 4 pm then others to start at 5 pm, everyone going through to 7 pm approx.
So far I have four volunteers - unfortunately if we cannot fill the numbers the parking will
be re-allocated to another group and basketball will have lost this opportunity. ($!)
I know this is a busy time of year but please try to spare a few hours on Sunday ... If you can
help please let her know asap.

New Library & Performing Arts Centre
Tax Deductible 125th Anniversary Project
Sydney Boys High School depends upon its community of parents, Old Boys and supporters to further
the School's ethos of the pursuit of all-round excellence.
We have a bold vision for a two stage Library & Performing Arts Centre. With advances in
information technology, there is a pressing need to create a facility which is able to adapt and
keep pace with meeting the increasing needs of our students. The estimated cost of the combined
project is $4m. Stage one requires $1.8m; we have $400k. A new tax deductible monthly
giving program has been introduced to help fund our development goal.
We have implemented an arrangement with ANZ Bank for automatic monthly deductions from a
nominated credit card. You can elect to give $50, $40, $30 or $20 each month for a period of
twelve months. Your nominated amount, along with your name and credit card details will be sent
to the bank electronically. At the end of the financial year, the school will issue an annual
statement as evidence of tax deductible donations. You can opt in or out of the scheme provided
you notify the school in writing five working days before the fifteenth day of each month.
Thank you for helping to make a difference for our boys.

Music Notes
Music Awards Dinner
The Annual Music Awards Dinner held last Sunday was a wonderful
success with a huge turnout from Music Ensemble members and family, staff at High, instrumental
music tutors, and Year 12 (06) boys who stayed on with the program through their HSC year. The
evening was filled with quality entertainment from our music tutors who dazzled us with their
exquisite repertoire, and a special performance by our Encore selected student, Paul Pang. The
Christmas theme saw the hall decorated with hundreds of green, red, and white helium-filled
balloons, professionally folded green and red napkins (over 200 of them by our wonderful Wilson
Wong), beautiful centrepieces and candles selected and arranged by the Music Staff and lots and
lots of candy canes to welcome the festive season.
Thank you to the students and parents that gave their time to the Music Department, especially
the Siu family; Chapman, Timothy, Cindy and Clement for giving up their Sunday afternoon to set
up the hall.
Special congratulations to our Best Musician for 2006; James Mackay (Music Prefect, Yr 11

Mr Hayman’s Team of the week vs Joeys ‘06
The 16As and Bs are turning
their season around with exciting victories. It will not be long until this talented group are
representing the school at the top level. Well done to David Peng, Alan Yang, Josh Tassell and
the other leaders of this Year 9 team who have really stepped up in the absence of Leonard Teng ,
Matt Lau, Stephen Dong and Justin Chow who already play in our top sides.
Parking Help NEEDED!!
Parking is on again - Sunday 10th of December
We need some people to start at 4 pm and others to start at 5 pm, everyone going through to 7 pm
approx. It's a Robbie Williams concert so it will fill early and should be a good earner for
basketball. Please come and help raise some money for the basketball program. See Mr Hayman if
interested.
14Es Match Report
Score: 12-32 (Loss).
Top Scorer: M Wei 4 baskets - 8 points
At the beginning of the game, our team was in the lead but soon the opponent team caught up.
Unfortunately, by the half time, it was 8 to 16. In the second half, the opponent team attacked
furiously and we hardly scored. Michael scored the last two baskets. The game ended in 12 to 32.
We need more improvements especially in defence and passes.
Max Wei (no.11): 4 baskets-8 points
Michael: 2 baskets-4 points
Match Report by Max Wei
16Bs Match Report
Score: 34-28 (Win).
Top Scorer: B Yang - 18 points!
They say history is written by the winners, and this game report only strengthens that statement.
The 16 Bs started off less one shooter and one forward, with a whole season of losses put behind
them to give their last game of the year, their very best. In the first few minutes of the game
it became apparent that there were two enthusiastic shooters on the opposing team, often taking
threes and field goals, as opposed to the High side, swinging the ball around on the outside and
waiting for an opportunity to drive in and draw a foul. This person was often Bohan Yang, who
took seemingly impossible drives and making many. Having such easy points and fouls scored and
called against them must have aggravated a few Joey's players, for they started verbally and
physically intimidating us. High swallowed their pride and gave an apathetic attitude towards
Joey's foul mood. In the end the 16 Bs walked away with a win for the last game of the 2006
season with a score of 34-28 with Bohan top scoring with more points than the rest of the team
put together at 18 points!! Well done guys!
Match report by Trung Tran
4th Grade Match Report
Score: 34-29 (Win).
Top Scorer: L Wong - 9 points
High went into the game wanting to finish the term off with a win and we were confident after
coming off a tough 2 point victory the previous week. From the opening tip off, our speed and
agility caught their defence off-guard, forcing them to foul us on numerous occasions to prevent
us from getting easy lay ups. This resulted in a combined 27 free throws taken for the game.
Scoring 5 points apiece, Albert Wang and Leslie Wong helped the team race off to a commanding
15-4 lead in the 1st 10min. After a timeout by Joeys, they decided to play more aggressively and
managed to chip our lead down 6 at the end of the 1st half. The 2nd half didn't start off well
with Albert Wang spraining his wrist after falling down awkwardly. Without our best scorer, Joeys
eventually caught up to tie the game. Then Terry Ly, who had a cold start to the game, decided to
step up. Terry hit back to back shots while being double teamed and helped the team re-establish
an 8 point lead. However, Joeys surged once again and reduced the lead back to 2. But blocks by
Jeremy Wilson and Leslie Wong on consecutive possessions, followed by a converted 3 point play by
Jeremy, sealed the win. Overall, it was a great team victory with contributions coming from
Leslie Wong (9 points), Albert Wang (8 points, 7 rebounds in 25min), Terry Ly (8 points), and
Danny Wong (4 assists).

High Cricket Bulletin
Term 4 has now drawn to a close and it has seen the benefits of the introduction of coaches to
Wednesday and Thursday Sport afternoons and their team support and directions on Saturdays.
From 36 matches (less 6 wash outs) we achieved 14 victories from the remaining 30 matches
which is our best all round performance since 2002/2003 when we achieved 11 victories. The
difference is that this time it is the emergence of our junior teams which augurs well for the
future of High Senior XIs
