HEADMASTER'S BULLETIN | FRIDAY 16 SEPTEMBER2016
NEWS & NOTIFICATIONS
From the Head Master2016 CAS Track And Field Champions
There are occasions when recourse to statistical data does more to “conceal than to reveal”. However, in respectof the School’s performance at Thursday’s 87th CAS Annual Track and Field Championship, this is certainly notthe case.
The all-round depth and strength of our Track and Field team needed to be put to the test if we were to wrestaway the championship from a dominating, well-respected Barker College team that had established a newstandard of athleticism in winning the past four championships. Last year, it was ever so close, and all expectedthat it again would be a close struggle between Trinity and Barker for supremacy – and indeed, such was thecase for most of the championship.
However, as the carnival proceeded, our consistency and depth began to take their toll and in the end our boysemerged as victors on this occasion. Whilst there were numerous personal bests recorded on the night,particular mention should be made of the CAS Records established by Trinity athletes.

Congratulations to all those involved in the team, our competitors, reserves, coaches and indeed the families ofour athletes, who have encouraged them throughout a short but intense season. I would like to make specialmention of our seniors, who led the team with distinction at a time when other pressures on their lives are attheir peak. Also, there is no doubt that the School support from our spectators, which included Old Boys, wassecond to none, as remarked to me personally by the Knox Sportsmaster.
All that planning, training and effort was duly rewarded – for the first time, we passed 700 points and whilst thiswas only our 8th CAS Track and Field championship, it also represented our fourth championship double, i.e.winning both the CAS Swimming Championship and the CAS Track and Field championship in the same year.
The final results were as follows:
Trinity Grammar School 713.50
Barker College 652
Knox Grammar School 586
St Aloysius’ College 562.50
Waverley College 537.50
Cranbrook School 452.50

From the Arthur Holt LibraryAt the start of this term the inaugural Library Bingo began, posing a challenge to staff and students to expandtheir reading by exploring different books they wouldn’t normally pick up, let alone read all the way through. Asthe term draws to a close, we are thrilled to find participating in Library Bingo roughly 80 students and staffmembers, who, as they close the chapter of another book, excitedly return to the library to tick off theiraccomplishments on the proverbial Library Bingo card. As the warmth in the air returns and the holidays beckon,we encourage students to borrow some holiday reading so that they can lay in a hammock in the sun andbecome lost in a good book. We know that this term has been extremely busy, but we give you a reminder toplease return any overdue books to the Library so as not to incur a fine. If you have even just a foggyinkling you might have an overdue book but not sure what it was, we would suggest that you have a look in yourInfiniti account for any checked out books, so you can locate them and deliver them safely to their rightfulhome!

The Year 11 and 12 Software Design and Development students created Games – the Year 11 studentsprogramming in Delphi whilst the Year 12 students were able to choose their programming language. The Year12 IPT had project management tasks based around the creation of a Restaurant, including Marketing and Socialand Ethical issues. They investigated Artificial Intelligence, Expert systems and Neural Networks.
This year also saw the first examination of the revised International Baccalaureate Design Technology course.The course now requires the students to complete a substantial Major Project as their Internal Assessment. Thestudents this year should be proud of the innovative projects that they produced which were backed up bydetailed Folios outlining the process they went through researching, designing and producing a solution to anestablished problem. These projects ranged from an Occasional Table that doubled as a high-powered computerhub to house a solar powered battery charger for power tools for tradesmen’s use on a building site.
The IB computing students designed and programmed websites for a real life client using a wide range ofsoftware. The projects ranged from a Pizza ordering system for all the Houses in the School to a Medical Centreonline booking system.
The completion of our covered outdoor area behind the Design Centre, now in use for our VET Construction andElectrotechnology students, has been invaluable, allowing students to develop competencies in many variedbuilding and construction skills. Our 30/30 Cafe for our Hospitality students is also up and running, which enablesthem develop their Barista competencies for the food and beverage parts of their course.
Our Middle School IST courses continue to be developed with changes to keep up with the latest emergingtechnologies in the computing areas. Mr Danny Nguyen has implemented the design of 3D virtual realitysoftware for games to use with google glasses recently donated to the School by Google Australia. Year 10currently are learning programming through the creation of games using GameMaker. Mr David Davies isworking on the inclusion of Arduino projects to teach students the basics of programming and electronics in theyear 10 IST courses.

Volleyball NewsIn a triumph of spectacular proportions, Trinity’s 1st Winter Volleyball team has served, blocked, spiked andjousted its way to victory in the NSW State Knockout volleyball tournament.
It was the first time Trinity Grammar School has been able to participate in the competition, due to clashes withother volleyball sporting fixtures in previous years. The team lost no time making the competition its own.
The Knockout, held at Sydney’s State Sports Centre, saw six schools from around NSW pit their talents againstone another in back-to-back matches that were both entertaining and nail-biting.
Under the watchful eye of Director of Volleyball, Andrew Simos, the boys from Years 10 to 12 have been trainingtogether twice a week after school for two years. Their cohesion and unity was evident match after match duringthe Knockout. “It’s a great achievement, considering we’ve never competed in the tournament before,” said MrSimos.
Led by team captain Lewis Jupp (12WH), and tournament coach Dimitri Sidiropoulos (12/12Yo), (SchoolCaptain and Australian Under 19s representative), the Trinity team played a hard-fought five games in total, withthe final game being one of the most gripping. Trinity triumphed 2-0 (25-22 and 25-18) against worthy opponentCherrybrook High School in a close game that saw both teams give it their all.
In a bonus coup for the School, team member Matthew Rorie (11Fo) was named Most Valuable Player bycoaching staff from the participating schools.
Celebrations were brief as many of the Trinity team members had to back up their Knockout performance withfurther stoushes in the State Under 19s competition later the same day.
Winning is not new to the team, as they were recently crowned undefeated premiers in the CAS/GPS competition.
Congratulations to Trinity 1st Winter Volleyball team members Oliver Arkell (10WJ), Jared Attia (12Yo),Peter Braga (11Du), Jarryd Fernandes (12La), Daniel Gabriel (11Hi), Lewis Jupp (12WH), ThomasMackenzie (11WJ), Matthew Rorie (11Fo), Hugh Sixsmith (11Sc), Angus Webster (12WJ) and BenWheen (11Fo).

Mathematics Club In Review
The Mathematics Club has provided boys with worthwhile mathematical tasks in developing mathematicalconcepts and skills enhancing motivation and introducing a variety of activities as learning experiences thatdirectly engage the boys in the material giving them high satisfaction levels.
This year, the Mathematics Club continued to publish unique student papers in the fields of MathematicsApplications in its Journal and Proceedings of Young Archimedes. The journal, which publishes academiconline papers by secondary students, provides an exchange of mathematical ideas, activities and/or sharing andinterpreting of high school research. Two issues were published this year with electronic versions posted on theTrinity Grammar School Mathematics Club web site as a formal publication.
The Mathematics Club has a strong collaboration with various NSW Universities to provide activities encouragingboys’ greater understanding of mathematics. Guest lecturers from the UNSW, UTS and USYD have provided andaccess to new ideas and fresh perspectives in Contemporary and Applications of Mathematics during the Club’sCo-curricular sessions.
In Term 1, the Club staged a Discovery Evening, allowing our students and parents to expand their horizonsand interest in Mathematics and in its Applications. Students received an opportunity to experience what it is liketo be a university student and gain an insight into the field that they may one day pursue as a career.
The event was a wonderful opportunity for the boys, illustrating as it did the importance of Mathematics in one’severyday life. It was staged as a Q&A format and we had the privilege of having an extremely knowledgeable andexperienced panel to answer our questions. Our panel of experts included our forum hosts of Chris Tisdell(Associate Dean, UNSW Science) and Susannah Waters (Mathematics Communications Officer and Journalist,UNSW). Other experienced panel members included Katrina Iannella, Shane Keating, Thomas Britz, Barton Lee,Gordana Popovic and Shane Scott.
In Term 2, the Mathematics Club introduced an initiative in its programme on Thinking Mathematically. Theworkshops provided for our boys were developed to:
motivate, interest and excite students studying mathematics,

enable them to attack problems with confidence,put arithmetic and algebra on a sound mathematical basis.
On Wednesday, May 11, many parents and students gathered in the Science block to hear of truly astronomicalfigures and had an opportunity to study the night sky made up of billions of galaxies, and trillions upon trillions ofstars in a special Mathematics Club interactive event organised in conjunction with the UNSW AstronomyOutreach. The Mathematics Club took this opportunity to educate the boys in explaining the mathematics andscience of the world in an enjoyable format. The event consisted of an interactive session during an AstronomicalSlide Show on Astronomical Adventures in Antarctica by Matthew Freeman and a telescope workshop presentedby Shaila Akhter which concluded with a viewing on the roof of the Science block. Our focus of this enrichmentevent is on introducing important concepts through the development of mathematical techniques that can leadto a developmental process of best practices for boys working and learning together. It was a most interestingnight, and surely we all came away with a renewed vision of our marvellous Universe, and certainly many of usfound a new resonance in our School motto: Detur Gloria Soli Deo—Let the glory be given to God alone .
At the beginning of Term 3, the Club hosted an exciting initiative to welcome 150 young students from giftedPrimary through to Year 9 who are able or interested in mathematics and its applications from across thirteendifferent schools at its recent “Young Archimedes Mathematics Enrichment Forum – A Framework forGifted and Talented Learners” on Monday 18 July 2016. This event was supported by MENSA Australia,Inquisitive Minds, Gifted Families Support Group Inc. and Smarter Puzzles.
The Forum provided an opportunity to develop extra-curricular activities for young students and specificallyfocused on a range of teaching and learning ideas in a workshop format. The Forum also aimed to providestudents with worthwhile mathematical tasks to develop skills, concepts and motivation enhancement in anumber of topics. The programme content during the day included:
Learning about learning to think mathematically;Learning to work in a team;Learning mathematical skills in Problem Based Learning;Learning to develop patience and persistence in problem solving;Learning to appreciate the consequences arising from technological developments;Learning to develop creativity in problem solving;Learning to develop peer tutoring relationships between mentors and mentees that can lead to adevelopmental process of best practices for students working and learning together;Learning to directly engage students in mathematical materials and give them opportunities to achieve alevel of mastery.
The students, from a variety of schools, enjoyed working with each other in the following workshops onInquisitive Minds on Problems, Patterns, Pictures and Puzzles (PPPP). Students were immersed in mathematicaland logical thinking as they learnt and utilised foundational and advanced problem solving strategies,participating in an interactive lesson on the latter including ‘logical reasoning’, ‘look for a pattern’, ‘draw adiagram’ and ‘make a list’. Students learned to consider multiple perspectives on how to solve problems andthen practised selecting and applying the best strategies. They worked cooperatively as they attemptedchallenging and stimulating questions from our diverse range of original hands-on problems in a creativeconstruction competition.
A famous Mathematician by the name of George Polya once said, “It’s better to solve one problem five differentways than to solve five different problems.” Students in this workshop explored a range of strategies to solvechallenging problems related to number, algebra and geometry. Students had an opportunity to extend on theproblems presented and challenge their thinking to pose intriguing problems for others to consider. Studentswere placed in groups to compete against others (sometimes under timed conditions). The workshop providedstudents with opportunities to share ideas, revelations and discoveries, and be proud to say at the end of theirexperience that “Mathematics is beautiful”.
It was great to see young students engaged, enthusiastic and full of energy. Special thanks to Mr Habkouk whopresented two, three-hour workshop sessions and was assisted by Mrs Wonders, Mr Kesby and Mr Scott. I wouldalso particularly thank the Year 10 mentors, who included Jonno Batson (10WH), Jayann Chen (10Ta),Darren He (10La), Flynn Inness (10Mu), Justin Kim (10He), Adam Nazha (10Mu), Nicholas Perera(10La), Steven Serb (10Ar), Nicholas Testa (10Mu), Joseph Wang (10WJ) and Jonathan Zheng (10WH)for their outstanding leadership effort in engaging with their groups and helping to run a very successfulMathematics Enrichment Forum.

In Term 3, the Mathematics Club celebrated Pi Day (22 over 7) on the Twenty-second day of the Seventh Monthby a special event on “Pi: Its History and Future” presented by Hugh Colburn. The desire to understand π, thechallenge (and originally the need) to calculate ever more accurate values of π - the ratio of the circumference ofa circle to its diameter - has captured mathematicians, great and less great, for many, many centuries. With thesubstantial development of computer technology in the 1950s, Pi was computed to thousands and then millionsof digits. These computations were greatly facilitated by the discovery soon after of advanced algorithms for theunderlying high-precision arithmetic operations. And, especially recently, π has provided many compellingexamples of experimental (or computational) mathematics. π uniquely in mathematics, is pervasive in popularculture and the popular imagination. Fascination with Pi is evidenced by many recent popular books, televisionshows, and movies – even perfume – that mention π.
The talk discussed why this simple ratio is so important, how it is approximated and provided some examples ofthe many areas in mathematics and physics, with no obvious connections to circles, in which π appears. Thepresentation entailed many wonderful facts about Pi, including the history of Pi (as it turns out Pi dates back toapproximately 3000BC), how it came about and the various approximations of it throughout the ages. He showedus just how important a number like Pi is and how integral it is to our world of numbers. Much to their surprisethe boys discovered that Pi is involved with the number of needles that cross lines on the floor if you scatterthem randomly, integrals, trigonometry and even the Babylonian number system. The talk further discussed themystery and fascination that surrounds Pi. We saw that Pi is an elusive number, being both irrational (it cannotbe represented as a ratio of whole numbers, and therefore has an infinite non-repeating decimal expansion) andtranscendental (it cannot be reproduced from 1 using only the algebraic operations: addition, subtraction,multiplication, division, and nth roots). The proof of the latter finally put paid, in the 18th century, to the problemof squaring the circle: with straight edge and compass it is impossible to produce a square with the same area asa given circle.
As we have seen, the life of Pi captures a great deal of mathematics — algebraic, geometric and analytic, bothpure and applied — along with some history and philosophy. The Mathematics Club thanks Mr. Colburn for hisstimulating presentation on Pi: Its History and Future.
The Club is looking forward to having another successful new academic year.

Mother and Son DinnerWhat a great night last Monday was! The James Wilson Hogg Assembly Hall was filled to overflowingaccommodating all those attending the 2016 Mums and Sons Dinner. After some excellent music providedby Fence Sitter, Year 12 Winners of the Battle of the Bands 2016, and the formalities of welcoming and gracebeing over, an excellent buffet meal was enjoyed by all. The occasional speaker, Mrs Patricia Duke, Junior Schoolteacher and mother of three Trinity boys spoke feelingly, entertainingly and wisely of her experiences in themothering of them! It was a wonderful night of interaction among the Middle School Mums and their lads! Ourthanks and praise to Ms Louise Robertson, (President of Summer Hill Auxiliary), Mr Bradley Barr, and Mr StephenHeanly for their excellent organisation of the evening, now a firmly established tradition within the Middle School.

At Quad Assembly - Monday and FridayHad anyone at Quad Assembly last Monday morning been still rather sleepy after whatever weekend activitiesthey may have had, such torpor was short lived as a deafeningly amplified whistle at the lips of no less a personthan the Head Master tore apart the relative tranquillity of the morning. The echoing whistle was still soundingwhen a veritable thunderclap sent pigeons soaring and the collective Trinity heart to leap afresh as MrStenhouse’s starting pistol exploded upon our ears! Thus, by whistle and pistol, our attention was drawn to thefact that this Thursday sees the 2016 CAS Track and Field Championship take place, and that our T&F Squadafter a most intense year of preparation is ready to do battle for the School. Whatever the result may be — win,lose or draw, there is simply no doubt that our lads have done a superb job of preparing for this important event,and their hours upon hours of hard work, training and marshalling all their resources deserve our utmostsupport. We wish them well, remembering that as with the Olympics just passed, merely to be selected for theteam is a triumph; to win, though obviously a wonderful achievement, really is less important than the manner ofparticipating. And all of us will be there too, also taking part by giving that important support which enables usto share in their effort.
How great it is to report the morning after CAS that Trinity succeeded so brilliantly to regain the Challenge Cup!The Whistle worked! But seriously, our team gave such an outstanding, sterling performance in all aspects ofthe occasion that we can only offer them our heartfelt admiration and thanks for their hard work and dedicationover the last few months — the year, even -- as they responded to the diligent coaching they received, and theencouragement of family and school mates, all of which factors flowered so brilliantly last night! Thank you, oneand all!
