Rector

FR GERRY HEALY, SJ

For the year 2020, I have been the Acting Rector of Riverview. Fr Jack McLain undertook further studies in 2020 in Melbourne in Fine Arts – predominantly in his particular interest in photography as art.

Fr Tom Renshaw is coming to Riverview as Rector in 2021, and I was asked to bridge the gap in 2020. I had a previous semester as Acting Rector of Riverview for Fr Andy Bullen.

I have worked in education for my entire working life as a Jesuit – about 58 years in the Jesuit order and 50 years active working. This has been spent almost equally between secondary schools and Universities, predominantly teaching in science and science education and in administrative roles.

Coming to Riverview I was looking forward very much to meeting many people. A school is predominantly about people. I hoped to have a lot of interaction with students, with parents, with colleagues on the staff, with old Collegians. Unfortunately, after a very brief and wonderful period of meeting people at the start of the year, coronavirus hit, and interaction with others became very restricted, with extra restrictions on we older people. My biggest disappointment this year has been how few parents, old Collegians and even students that I have been able to meet.

Coronavirus has made it a very strange year. How the College adapted to the restrictions is well documented in other parts of this Alma Mater. The restrictions had a big impact on teaching – especially for the few weeks that we had all teaching on-line. I commend the way teachers and students adapted to this very different mode of teaching and learning. Co-curricular was hit much harder; this was particularly hard on students in their last year at the College, who looked forward to being in senior teams, and who will not get another opportunity. Liturgical life of the College – masses and services – have been severely curtailed or virtually cancelled. The boarders’ weekly mass has always been a major institution at Riverview, and except for the first few weeks, they have not been possible. The House Masses at which students and parents mingled in the evening were much

appreciated by students, parents and house staff. Also important were the Tuesday morning masses at Regis, prepared in rotation by a class and attended by quite a number of parents. Almost all these, and in fact all class and year level masses were curtailed.

Were there any positives out of the restrictions? Yes, I think so. Staff adapted quickly to on-line teaching and learning; perhaps more readily than would have been expected. Inevitably some found it challenging. But I think very many who were hesitant about technology in their teaching were empowered to use it and will continue to use it much more in normal times. Parents appreciated the many activities that were live broadcast or made available. Many of these were activities – like assemblies – that parents were normally unable to get to. Boarder families in remote locations who could not often attend school functions or co-curricular activities were able to be involved. I doubt if parents will let us go back to parent teacher interviews in person after the positive experience of them on zoom and avoiding the traditional hassle of trying to find the right teacher at the right time in the right College building!

But this brings me back to something I learned from what I missed – meeting people. Schools are about people. We are about building community; about learning how to relate appropriately and positively with others; to grow through others. I have felt that we are missing something by zooming. Yes, it is more convenient to not have to travel to meetings;

the convenience of working at home. But I think something important is missed if we don’t relate face to face with people. As I reflect on the past few decades. I think we have become much more individualistic, even isolated. As a child I went out to play in the street after school with others of my age – until darkness or homework called us in! Today young children don’t seem to play together as much. I walk down the street and see so many children completely focused on their mobile phones or other devices I don’t even know about; even watches I believe! I was shown a watch recently that you could watch television on! Mind you, good eyesight was needed. Perhaps it is just the reminiscences of an old man looking back on the “good old days”!

Families now seem more isolated. We used to know almost all the other families in our neighbourhood; now we can be in many ways strangers in our own neighbourhood. Even within families, are we becoming more isolated from each other? Watching television together as a family – even if you didn’t get your favourite show – was bonding. Now in many families everyone has their own television, or watch television on their computer in their room. We need to make an effort to relate to each other; to communicate, to share, to listen to each other, to be interested in what others are interested in, even if we are not. Humans are social beings; we need to work on relating to each other. Hopefully one of the positives that has come out of the coronavirus restrictions will be realizing how we missed others and how

Opening School Mass to commence Term 1 2020, before COVID-19 restrictions commenced

we need each other – and how we have to work on that.

Jesus came on Earth for about 33 years to share our human life with us. Instead of relating to a distant God, we are relating to a fellow human – Jesus was both human and divine. He went through the same experiences of life as we have – the ups and downs; the successes and disappointments; the challenges and achievements; the times when others let him down – like Judas; the times when others ignored his message; the times when his friends deserted him – at his passion. We are not trying to relate to a distant God- we are relating to someone who shared our human experiences. Jesus went through childhood, adolescence; he was formed by others; by his mother, his earthly father Joseph, who undoubtedly got frustrated at times with Jesus when he messed up some bit of carpentry; undoubtedly Jesus made friends and was in turn formed by them. Theologians have debated endlessly over the centuries as to how aware Jesus was of his divinity, and therefore how much this affected his humanity. I like the traditional teaching

of the Church – Jesus was truly human. To be truly human is to go through all those experiences. Jesus has been though the same experiences we have; he knows our needs; he is not someone ignorant of our feelings – both anxieties and rejoicing. He can relate to our needs and help us. Our faith is fundamentally about a personal relationship with Jesus, who deemed to share our human life.

Jesus does not come to us individually; He comes to us through a Christian community. We are parts of different communities; Riverview is one of those communities. Many years ago, a Jesuit from Japan, Fr Bill, was visiting the school I was in and spoke to the Year 12’s. While a professor of mathematics (at Sophie University Tokyo) he spent his vacation time in Buddhist monasteries, in Christian-Buddhist dialogue. He spoke to the students about what we as Christians have to learn from eastern religions, and therefore focussed on meditation, on silent prayer. A student asked him “Father, you have spoken at length about what we as Christians have to learn from eastern religions – have eastern religions anything to learn from Christianity?”

He replied that he had asked a Buddhist monk that recently, and the Buddhist monk replied: “Of course, the thing that is most distinctive about Christianity compared to any other word religion?” He paused, asking students to think what that was. I must say I had to think for a while! The monk said ”In Christianity, you come to God not by turning in on yourself but through others”

We grow, learn, live our lives through others.

During 2020 we tragically had two students die of rare medical conditions- George Dummer and Darcy Henry. We remember them with affection; they are remembered in other parts of this Alma Mater. The response of the wide Riverview community to the families of these students in their loss reflected the strong community spirit in the College. We know their families felt that support.

I thank all those who have welcomed me to Riverview this year, 2020, even though it has not been the year neither I nor anyone else, was expecting and hoping for.

Principal

DR PAUL A. HINE

2020 was a year like no other in living memory. More than cliché, this is and will remain fact. Not since the turn of the 20th Century has Australia, particularly New South Wales, experienced its own littleknown incidence of plague and then, in the immediate aftermath of World War 1, the onset of the world’s first global pandemic. One hundred years later that phenomenon was repeated, and it is into this context that the following is recorded.

Context

Within the first two months of the year, the country was groaning under the hardship of the three-year drought, the most devastating bush fires New South Wales and Australia had ever seen, and then the floods that inundated the buildings and led to the first forced closure of the College in decades. It seemed as if all of the challenges for the year had been subsumed in one engulfing swoop. In quick succession, the parched and arid ovals of the College became duck ponds with drenching rains, while the classrooms needed to be evacuated with over 4,000 square metres of carpets removed, and rooms dried out. Amid the felled trees and the systemic damage to the property, even the boarding residences were rendered uninhabitable for days while power was restored to the site and the surrounding region. In some suburbs of Sydney, power was not restored for weeks.

Following the re-instatement of the grounds and facilities, the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan in the early weeks of March held little indication of what would lie ahead. Within weeks, COVID-19 would lead to the collapse of travel across the globe, devastate the interdependent economies of the world and push medical services in peace time economies to places not seen in generations. As part of the response to COVID-19, schools were forced to close and move into a virtual learning environment – something which would have been inconceivable when a new year and a new decade were born just three months earlier. The challenges for 2020 did not end there. The Riverview community mourned the loss of two very fine young boys: George Dummer (Year 9) and Darcy Henry

(Year 8), both who died unexpectedly and suddenly in the spring of 2020. Here the faith of the College was tested, but it stood tall with a community that held both families tight during those very tragic months.

On Day 1 of 2020, 246 new boys walked through the gates, as members of 148 new families beginning their journey at Riverview. These new boys’ hearts and minds will be shaped by those distinctly Jesuit values: ‘competence, conscience, compassion and commitment’. They also came to learn the value and the virtue of social justice, to make a difference in their world as they appropriate the mission and the impulse of schools such as Riverview. Among other things, we welcomed a new and Acting Rector – Fr Gerry Healy, who throughout the year made such a very valuable and important contribution to the affairs of the College.

Faith and Spirituality

One of the many casualties of the COVID-19 situation was the requirement to suspend religious practice and liturgy in the College. In any other context, this would have been regarded as anathema. As always, ‘necessity is the mother of invention’. While not ideal, religious services were conducted – like everything else, online and throughout the College. For the most part, the faith life of school was sustained, if in a very modified form. The challenge and the desire over the years ahead is to re-instate the vitality of religious life: House masses, Boarders’

Chapel, whole school masses, reflection days and retreats – all of which were held in parenthesis by the restrictions associated with a COVID regime of far reaching proportions.

The ongoing difficulty across such a challenging year has been the delivery of the social justice program. The COVID-19 pathogen prevented any community outreach and social justice programs from proceeding, particularly since risks were posed through ministry to the aged and infirmed who were rendered vulnerable to serious illness. 2020 will be always remembered for the mandated requirements associated with social distancing, hygiene and avoidance of gathering through community interface: those elements which are integral to the social justice program and threatened by working with the most vulnerable. Like the immersion programs, it has been a very significant loss, one that we lament but one that all energies will be devoted towards rebuilding in the postCOVID-19 world.

Teaching and Learning: Innovation

Distinctive about 2020, has been the importance of innovation in education, made so by circumstances which have not presented before – ever!! New-found technical capacities enabled such a difficult year to be navigated and learning to continue unabated, despite the impost on home environments. Learning went online with a seamless interface, whether the learners were in

Mask wearing, regular sanitising and and social distancing became the norm upon our return to campus

metropolitan Sydney, the different states and territories of Australia, or in countries across the world. It was a stunning achievement and one that we are very grateful for, especially to all who worked so assiduously to make it happen.

The move to the virtual timetable required teachers to exchange classroom practice techniques for technical knowledge to create all manner of learning and assessment opportunities across the digital platform. It required families to quarantine workspaces at home, often with many sharing limited facilities and wifi capacity, during what became a difficult period of adaptation and adjustment. In a strange way, and at the end of the day, we are the better for it. While schools remain centres where communities are formed and values are appropriated, there is a strong desire to stay in classroom and physical grounds where a strong sense of Ignatian formation infuses and informs the process of learning. But, the benefits of viewing and responding to education through different prisms cannot be underestimated and precisely because of it, we are the richer.

The Pastoral Domain

Central to the educational platform of any Jesuit school is the role of ‘cura personalis’ – that is, the individual health and well-being of each and every member of the community. This has been tested in 2020, with many experiencing their own reaction to the circumstances that have presented and needing support along the

way. Physical distancing has provided its own very distinct challenges, be it from restrictions that have prevented grandchildren spending time with their grandparents, the normal interactions between teachers and students, not to mention the many events that build community that could no longer be conducted in the College grounds. This included everything from attendance at House masses, liturgies and school sport, through to full exclusion from the property for most of the year. Under such a regime, it was difficult to make contact on any other medium apart from Zoom, which has

become an interface that has enabled many of the core functions of life to be conducted.

Like everything else, pastoral care went online. House gatherings were conducted over Zoom and special events were celebrated, none the least of which were birthdays on a regular basis. The Counselling Team at the College continued their great work unabated, supporting the pastoral needs of young men who encountered their own difficulties that were exacerbated by isolation and distance. Evaluations of the pastoral care and student needs were even

Ricci Mini-House meeting via Zoom

As part of the response to COVID-19, schools were forced to close and move into a virtual learning environment

conducted across the digital space, assisting the College to identify and then respond to needs as they became apparent. Thankfully, with the full resumption of schooling in the second half of the year, many of the routines and procedures were re-established, including daily House meetings and the removal of ‘cohort segregation’.

Co-curricular

In a year which was very disrupted and one which forced many changes to the Co-curricular program on a week by week basis, the College experienced extraordinary success. Winning GPS Premierships in Senior Swimming and Cricket across the summer, the trophy cabinet was also strengthened by the finest performance in Rowing the College has seen over its illustrious 120 year history. Out of 6 races, 6 podium finishes including three First Places, two Second Places and one Third. All events occurred in the silent surrounds of the Penrith River in absence of spectators; in and of itself, it was a stark and sombre reminder of a world in pandemic.

Across the winter, and again in the absence of spectators, it was more Premierships in Soccer and AFL, together with a GPS Open Debating Championship. Like everything else, Senior Sporting teams games – including the titanic annual clash with Joeys in Rugby, was streamed online to one of the largest viewing audiences in history. While

the conduct of many other co-curricular activities was compromised by the limitations imposed by the COVID-19 regime, it is with a sense of great pride that these significant achievements have been registered in a year that has seen so much curtailed and restricted on a weekly basis.

Community

It is difficult to capture the impact of such a year on the community at large. Boarding families – those who bring the richness and diversity to College life, were confined to rural and outward-bound regions of the state and the nation and prevented from their engagement in College life. All parents, including the many highly valued contributors to the affairs of the College - the P&F, OIU, Past Parents, Boarders’ Parents and the like, were prevented from entering the property for the better part of nine months of the year!! The local residents, who have exercised regularly on the property, walked their pets on a regular basis and been such a wonderful and enriching interface between a school and community, were debarred from school grounds entry for the entirety of the year.

Amid the many restrictions imposed by the NSW Government and Health Authorities, the community banded together to support each other. Zoom became the medium by which meetings were facilitated – hundreds of them, to maintain that great spirit that is

synonymous with the DNA of a Jesuit school. Special meetings, AGMs, planning sessions and much more were delivered across the Zoom interface to ensure that the community remained connected and involved, despite geography and circumstance. In all, over five million hours were spent on Zoom since the pandemic began, enabling the community to keep a strong sense of engagement in the affairs of the College.

Strategic Futures

One of the priorities for 2020 was to undertake a new period of strategic planning to identify key elements of Riverview’s future 2020-2025. This involved the assessment of very large data fields, those which were extracted through Satisfaction Surveys, targeted questionnaires and strategic consultations over a 12 month period. A draft document was produced early in the year that was then examined and revised through representative consultations with constituent members of the College community. In September of 2020, the document was approved by both the College Board and Jesuit Education Australia (JEA). This will provide shape and direction over the next five years and sets a path for the College to maintain its place as one of the most respected providers of Catholic and Jesuit education across the country.

Great Loss

Amid the many challenges associated with such an unpredictable and demanding year, was the tragic loss of two very fine young men: George Dummer and Darcy Henry. From two wonderful families, these boys taken too early, plunged the community into deep grief, one that was only made navigable by the wonderful support and strength of those who stood tall to offer their support. It is during adversity that the resilience and compassion of any community comes to the fore. And there has been no better sign of it this year than in the way that parents, staff, students and the broader Riverview community have responded to the need of Dummer and Henry families during their deepest and darkest hours. That said, it is a faith community that believes in the power of life beyond death. We entrust these young men to their God and continue to pray for their families who grieve their loss.

One Foot Raised

The student motto for 2020 was One Foot Raised. This was the instruction St Ignatius gave to his companions as they moved beyond their years of formation into ministry. It was an exhortation to be open to new challenges, to be poised to meet the needs of the future and to take them into new frontiers. No more fitting a metaphor or mantra could have been chosen for 2020. On occasions it became an incantation –when students were forced to evacuate the school, when the transition occurred to the online environment, when the rowers headed to Penrith with no-one to cheer them on, when boarders chapel and religious services were forced into recess. What an inspiration and what a motif it has become, one which in its own way will continue to serve this community well as we move into the postCOVID era over the years ahead.

My deepest thanks are extended to all who have given so generously to the affairs of the College over the last 12 months. Rather than be diminished by coronavirus, we have been strengthened by it. No doubt, some programs and events will change forever, because we have learned from them. But as always, we give thanks to a benevolent God for the many blessings of life and for a year that has challenged us, but, has seen us come through. Deepest thanks, one and all.

Archivist

MS CATHY HOBBS

To say this has been an unusual year is an understatement. Along with the rest of the College, the Archives has been impacted by the Corona virus, the resulting lock-down and necessary social distancing procedures. As a result, no displays have been mounted for College functions or held within the Archives museum which has been closed to class visits and other visitors since March.

The year began as usual, with Year 7 class visits to the Archives museum as part of the history curriculum. However, it was not long after, that Covid-19 impacted the College, we went into lock-down and any future class visits for Religious Education, Year 9 history and Year 10 history classes had to be cancelled.

In March and throughout Term 2, with the College in lockdown and the canteen closed, the ladies from the canteen volunteered to help out in Archives by re-housing some of the historic photographic collection. Michelle Law and her team exchanged making lunch orders, sandwiches and hot meals and dealing with queues of hungry boys for the relative peace and calm of working in Archives, discovering and describing photographs of students from times past.

The work undertaken by Michelle and her team involved putting photographs into archival quality acid-free albums while ensuring that the unique control number and description of each photograph was recorded.

The photographic collection includes over 50,000 images and dates from 1880, the

foundation year of the College, to the present day. The collection provides a fascinating visual record of the history and growth of the College and its community as well as the development of the surrounding district and the Lane Cove River. When photographs from the collection are combined with contemporary descriptions of the area, a vivid picture is painted of Riverview during an earlier time. For example, if we compare photographs from the 1880s with reminiscences from past students such as the following one from Sir Mark Sheldon (OR 1883), we gain an insight into what life would have been like at Riverview during the 1880s. “In those days Riverview was quite in the wilds, with thick scrub and heavily timbered, and it abounded with native animal life in the way of bandicoots, opossums, [koala] bears and native cats. Snakes used to be pretty plentiful.” Mark Sheldon, “Riverview at its Origin” in Jubilee Book, St Ignatius’ College Riverview Sydney 1880 – 1930 p9.

The photographs held in the collection are in various formats from daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes, cabinet cards, Cartes des Visites and glass plate positives through to photographic prints, slides, 35mm negatives and more recently, digital. Although secondary to the purpose of the collection, the various formats provide a representation of the history of photography in Australia. Included in the collection of glass plate positives is the original colour photograph which was published for the first time in Our Alma Mater, 1910 and marked the first use of colour in the publication. The photograph was produced using a three-colour process on separate coloured blocks. A miniature Abbey, which was built by Brother Forster SJ in 1910, stands in the foreground of the photograph. Although partly hidden under a large tree, the Abbey is still in the garden today. C W Bridge of the Electric Photo Engraving Company took the photograph and when it appeared in

the 1910 OAM the bold claim was made that it was the first of its kind produced in Australia. Although this claim has not been verified, it could very well be the case, as colour photography was still in its infancy in Australia.

Throughout the year, the Archives has continued to receive transfers from staff, donations of items from members of the Riverview community, process and research the collection, and arrange for items to be treated by a conservator when necessary.

In October, the Kingsford-Smith Trophy for Handicap Sculls was delivered to International Conservation Services for restoration and has recently been returned to the Archives. Although in relatively good condition, the trophy was tarnished, had areas of corrosion and the unique feature of the trophy, namely, the attached model aircraft, was loose and in danger of coming away altogether. The history of the trophy and why the NSW Rowing Association decided to donate it to the College is connected to Charles Kingsford-Smith’s flight across the Pacific Ocean in a Fokker mono-plane, named the “Southern Cross”.

In 1928, Charles Kingsford-Smith earned global fame when he made the first transPacific flight from the United States of America to Australia. As Kingsford-Smith’s family home resided in Longueville, the residents of Lane Cove welcomed him home with a celebration in the reserve next to Longueville Wharf. As part of this celebration the NSW Rowing Association organized three races from Greenwich to the Wharf in what was called the Charles KingsfordSmith Welcome Home Regatta. One of the events was a handicap sculling race for the Kingsford-Smith Trophy, which was won by Jack Scott from Haberfield Rowing Club. The trophy was specially designed and made

for the event. It has a lightly domed and stepped base with a gilt oarsman holding an oar enclosed within three spiralled columns supporting a globe of the world with a model aircraft attached depicting Kingsford Smith's trans-Pacific flight of 1928.

After the Kingsford Smith Welcome Home Regatta, the trophy was presented to the NSW Rowing Association by the organizing committee for an annual sculling race on the Lane Cove River. As the Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview Regatta already had a race that met these criteria, in 1929, the NSW Rowing Association donated the trophy for competition at the Riverview Regatta for Handicap Sculls. After 1990, Riverview did not have a handicap sculls event and the trophy was no longer used. However, more recently, although not held every year, the Riverview Regatta Program has included an invitation sculling event for open Rowing Clubs.

A number of donations of items relevant to the history of the college were received this year. One such donation was a collection of items which had belonged to James Thomas McCarthy (OR 1885). The donation included his timber plan press, metal retracting pencil, large crystal glass ink well, gold vesta and cigarette case.

James was born in 1867, the son of James and Anna McCarthy. He arrived at the college in 1881 and was a rower and athlete. The Archives also holds two gold and silver rowing medals that, as a member of the Senior IV crew, he won at the Riverview Regatta in 1885. After leaving Riverview, he went onto study architecture and after completing his studies established a business as an architect

in Sydney, designing a number of buildings including Mount St Margaret’s Hospital, North Ryde now part of Calvary Retirement Community and St Aloysius' College. James McCarthy maintained his interest in the college and in 1897, was a foundation member of the Old Ignatian Union, becoming its President in 1903.

After the death of Father Dalton SJ in 1905, the members of the Old Ignatians' Union decided to erect a chapel in his honour. James McCarthy offered to draw up the plans and specifications for the Union without charge. His generous offer was accepted and he selected an art nouveau style for the design, which he described as "modern gothic". His selection was undoubtedly influenced by the problem of designing a modern building that would blend with the rococo altar which had been donated to the college by John Hughes to mark the foundation of the college in 1880. Cardinal Moran blessed the completed Dalton Memorial Chapel on the 23rd of May 1909. After the opening of the Chapel, the members of the Old Ignatians’

Union gave a complimentary dinner to James McCarthy during which Father Thomas Gartlan SJ presented him with a gold watch in appreciation for his honorary services. The donation of McCarthy’s plan press has special significance when we consider that while working on the plans for the Chapel they would most likely have been stored in the drawers of the press.

Another donation received this year was from Michael Leonard (OR 1964). When at the college, Michael was a drummer in the SIC Cadet Band and included in his donation is a set of two gold metal drums worn by the cadet drummers on the sleeve of their cadet uniforms.

Although an unusual year, it has been a successful and busy one for Riverview Archives. It has been a year where the focus has been on describing, researching and processing the collection. We look forward to 2021 with the expected return of class visits and the opportunity to re-commence the mounting of displays for college functions.

Pastoral Care

DEAN OF PASTORAL CARE:

MR RUSSELL KAM

It is fair to state that the word unprecedented has been used an unprecedented number of times this year! 2020 has been a year in which all members of the College community have needed to work harder and smarter in an attempt to keep things the same. The planning for events has taken on deeper challenges as we endeavour to carry out “normal” proceedings in a COVID safe manner. This in turn has led to discernment of the purpose of each College activity, and a deeper understanding of their necessity. Some of the year based College events carried out in 2020 are outlined below.

Year 7 was fortunate to be able to attend Camp in the week immediately before the College campuses were shutdown. Canoeing, archery, initiatives activities, high ropes, abseiling, rock climbing and some time out for reflection were all part of the Camp program. However, the major value of the Camp remains the opportunity to spend time with House peers when nervous energy becomes transformed into lifelong friendships. Perhaps it is only with the experience of shutdown that the privilege of being able to conduct the Camp can be seen.

Men In Conversation is an annual event whereby the College hosts breakfast for Year 8 students and their fathers (or another significant adult). The purpose of the breakfast is to start, promote and stimulate conversation between an experienced adult and a young adult. With restrictions meaning that non-essential adults were not permitted on the College site, this event was reimagined with students asked to view a documentary on social media during an evening at home with their fathers. A later start was then provided the following day to afford time for Year 8 students to have breakfast with their adult and to converse about the issues raised in the documentary.

Initially, it looked highly unlikely that the Year 9 Challenge would be able to proceed in 2020 given the general restrictions on camps and excursions and aforementioned restriction on non-essential adults being on the College site. However, towards the end of year public health had reached the stage whereby these

restrictions were somewhat restricted allowing the Year 9 Challenge to proceed.

The Year 9 Challenge is a multiweek program that seeks to develop independence in our Year 9 students. A highlight for students each year is the Bush Week experience where students complete arduous bike riding and canoeing whilst camping. The route was somewhat changed this year to accommodate the impacts of the bushfires at the start of the year but were nonetheless challenging for all. Other activities during the year 9 challenge include:

⁄ obtaining a Bronze Medallion certificate to become a qualified life saver;

⁄ learning to iron a shirt and clean a toilet;

⁄ a presentation on the perils of social media;

⁄ a First Nations cultural experience where local significant sites are explored and explained; and

⁄ experience at TAFE learning hospitality skills.

Year 11 students have had the opportunity this year to be Peer Support Leaders for Year 7 students. This program was commenced at the beginning of the year, however, a restriction on co-mingling between year groups meant that this program needed to be paused. Happily though, it was recommenced in Term 4 and giving the opportunity for Year 11 students to be a “big brother” to younger students in their House. Helpfully, the Peer Support program for 2021 has already commenced for our Year 10 students, who have already volunteered to assist the incoming Year 7 students from the start of Term 1 next year. The enthusiasm and effort shown by year 10 towards this program bodes well for the future student leadership of the College.

Leadership sits naturally with some students, and the Year 11 student body is blessed with natural leaders. Year 11 have experienced a disjointed leadership journey thus far, with opportunities to lead being hampered by restrictions on co-mingling between year groups. Notwithstanding, this 2020/2021 year group has shown outstanding leadership potential and we venture into 2021 perhaps without expectations of what will be encountered, but with expectations that the student body will be well led by this fine group of young men.

Year 12 have had a difficult year, but thankfully the support of the community has been outstanding in their aid. Parents, siblings,

classroom teachers and pastoral care leaders gave this cohort immense support, and their response was one of resilience, courage and a determination not to let the circumstances of the year have a greater effect on them. It is fitting that they had the opportunity to celebrate with an extraordinary Valete Week and Blue and White Graduation Dinner. More fittingly, this cohort overwhelmingly chose to invite their parents and guardians to accompany them for their graduation dinner when numbers needed to be limited, which is sign of their deep gratitude for those that have supported them.

The continual support of Parents and Friends Association, and in particular Hera McCaffrey, Catherine Perrignon and Sarah Ryan has given the opportunity for full and frank discussions focussed on the welfare of the students. As a College this is a vital link to better understanding the context of our students.

Upon reflection, the benefits of 2020 have been significant even if to show the value of existing practices. The forced move to remote learning affirmed that our students had a strong preference for being physically at the College. The benefits of having mixed years groups in mentor groups, a key component of our House based system of pastoral care, was confirmed when we were forced away from this system to reduce co-mingling.

In no other time during the lives of our students has there been such a call for immediate and significant change, and I am pleased to see that this student group has responded beyond expectations. According to the model of shared concern that the College subscribes to in delivering its Pastoral Care, credit for this must go to parents, siblings, older students, counsellors, Assistant Heads of House and Heads of House. For this I extend my deepest gratitude and look forward to what 2021 brings.

HEAD OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES: MR

BENJAMIN MOFFATT

In 2020, our community has endured drought, the threat of bushfires, the varied impacts of COVID-19, and also suffered the tragic loss of a number of students and community members. In our role as counsellors, we have been called on over the course of this year to listen and support our community members in need. As we sat with those in need, we witnessed firsthand, the discovery of new strengths, the forging of stronger connections and the Riverview Community’s boundless capacity for support in response to the challenges of the past year.

A clear example of this encouraging response was reflected in the surge in attendance by staff for the Youth Mental Health First Aid training (YMHFA). This accredited course is designed to introduce trainees to key information on common mental illnesses and also provides clear guidance on how to provide support for a wide range of circumstances, including crisis management. I have been running YMHFA courses each year for Riverview staff since 2015. In that time, 172 Riverview staff have been trained,

including all Heads of House. In 2020, 73 Riverview staff were accredited, which is three times above the annual average, and gave me great comfort that at this difficult time, so many staff were motivated to learn how to support, understood and care for our young people.

The Mental Health First Aid training model has been so well received that we plan to expand the program in a number of ways within the College. In early 2021, College Counsellor, Miss Ashleigh Bierton will also be trained as an instructor to run additional YMHFA courses throughout the year. We also plan to make the Teen MHFA course available to students next year. This initiative was developed in close partnership with Deputy Principal Students, Mr Patrick Lowe, and was put in place as we recognise the important role that peers are playing here at Riverview in supporting their friends. The change we are seeing is cultural, however, this is reflected

most tangibly, in the steady increase in peer referrals over the years. 2020 saw the highest peer referral rate, reaching 18% of the total referrals for the year, which is a change we are very proud of.

A significant change for students and staff this year, was the requirement to move out of the classrooms and over to a virtual format during the Online Learning period. My team was full of admiration for our teachers and their students, as they shifted seamlessly to the online delivery of all classes. We continued to provide support ourselves, and adapted to a telehealth model during this time. Maintaining connection was essential, so we were sure to keep in touch regularly as a group, meeting often each day to check-in, share ideas and discuss how we could continue to adapt our service to meet the needs of our community, at this time. This experience certainly presented us with some challenges, however, we are a stronger team as a result.

This year also brought some changes within the Counselling team itself. We wished Ms Amelia Leason all the best as she left to care for her newborn son in Term 2. We look forward to Ms Leason’s return to the team in 2021. Mrs Angela Pak then joined the team in Term 3 and has made a strong impression with staff and students alike. Mrs Megan Christie is our Regis psychologist and completed her first year in the team. Over the course of this year, Ms Christie has proven herself to be a highly valued member of the team and we were grateful for her insights and expertise throughout this year.

With 2021 ahead, we continue to look forward to the opportunity to support our boys, their families and the staff here to play our part in serving the Riverview Community.

Religious Formation

DIRECTOR OF RELIGIOUS FORMATION:

MR JOHN GILLES

Covid Covid Covid - it seems as though the term has become a metatemporal one, transcending our past, present and future! There are three ‘classic’ questions in the Spiritual Exercises that Ignatius would have us ask in considering our own lives:

What have I done for Christ?

What am I doing for Christ? What ought I do for Christ?

There is a practicality that Ignatian Spirituality offers as we lean into reflecting on these questions. As the huge number of staff who are involved in the Formation of students, staff, parents and Old Boys at the College have experienced this year, the structures that have been used previously served us well. The necessary shift away from them shone light on the interconnections between programs and experiences that have developed into gradated and ongoing experiences. For example, not being able to have the experience of Year 10 Service Week means that the choices that students make for Year 11 Ignatian Service activities become limited; recruiting Student leaders for Kairos retreats becomes difficult, as they have not had the experience themselves, and so forth. The suspension of the Immersions and Country Placement Programs have also left a significant space in the formational experiences of students in those years, without the possibility of similar experiences to be offered. This is true for both students and staff.

So, we have had to do things differently this year, as have so many others. Having said that, our focus has not changed while the expression of our work has. Whatever the storm that might be thrown at us, long lasting fruit is born through attention to these questions. Below you will read the way that our facilitation of Formation has changed; I hope you hear from your children that our focus has not. We hope that grace has come to life through the choices we make for others, focussed on the building up of God’s Kingdom, for the love of Christ and others.

2020 has seen the retirement and death of Dr Cornelius (Conn) O’Donovan. Born on

St Patrick’s Day in Ireland in 1930, he passed on Remembrance Day in 2020. Those who work in the areas of Staff and Student Formation stand on the shoulders of this giant, taking as assumed knowledge what Conn boldly and with much patience and determination led those around him to grasp for themselves. Gifted with a stunning intellect as scientist, philosopher and theologian, he was humble to a fault. Those who were graced to work with him closely through the student based ‘Wonder about Wonder’ introduction to Philosophy course, or through the Staff Formation programme are certainly richer as a result. Conn encouraged everyone to take possession of their own native wonder, and so he is remembered as “our wonderful Companion, and Friend in the Lord” May he rest in peace and continue to guide the work of the Ignatian Centre and all those at the College from his place in the Communion of Saints.

Liturgy

Because of COVID, full school Masses in the Ramsay Hall have been replaced by streamed Masses or pre-recorded prayer services that utilise student input. Whilst complying with all government COVID regulations, music and drama students have assisted in engaging the community in the liturgical life of the College in these forums.

Masses such as the Sacred Heart Mass and St Ignatius’ Day were streamed from the Dalton Chapel to students in classrooms around the school. A small group of singers, accompanied by Christine Moriarty, sang

the hymns. Interspersed throughout the live stream were clips that related to the liturgy (with things such as messages from our friends at Cana Communities who would usually join us for the Sacred Heart Mass or a moving short film on the Prayer for the Church by Martin Luther King Jnr). These clips helped to keep students engaged and allowed them to reflect on the key messages of the Gospel, the Feast days and the challenging events of 2020.

The Valete Mass was conducted outside in the Dalton Quadrangle with Year 12 sitting socially distanced while it was live streamed to their parents at home. Unable to sing as a congregation, two Year 12 students used their musical talents to sing the hymns for the Mass. These students acted as representatives of the greater Year 12 cohort, as well as creating atmosphere and engagement from the congregation.

24 of our Year 11 students, knowing the uncertainty of COVID, took up the challenge and participated in 5 lunchtime training sessions to become Eucharistic Ministers. They were commissioned for service to the College at a College Assembly and Student Mass.

Ignatian Service Program “Making Ourselves

Available”

With the onset of the global pandemic earlier this year, Riverview’s Ignatian Service Program was forced to pivot from many of our usual hands-on services. Immersions were halted. Service visits to shelters and marginalised communities were forced to

Opening School Mass

pause. Yet, the needs of our service partners were greater than ever, with escalating pleas for help from vulnerable communities around Australia and across the globe.

It was evident that the Ignatian Service Program would need to adapt to meet these demands while ensuring the safety of our students. At this time, Ignatius’ insight during his stay at Manresa became the cornerstone on which the revised Program was built. He discovered that, to make ourselves available, is to serve.

In the early weeks of the pandemic, the service program responded by galvanising our students to assemble food packs for the St Vincent de Paul Night Patrol van, collect Winter Warmer kits (including beanies, scarfs and gloves) for the Exodus Foundation and donate bags of groceries to stock the shelves of the Ignite Food Store in Emerton.

Families and staff from among the Riverview community also prepared daily meals and food hampers for the community of Redfern Jarjum College, and delivered food hampers to over 70 families supported by the Jesuit Refugee Foodbank at Westmead. Additionally, a PenPal program between our Year 8 students and residents in Catholic Health Aged Care facilities in NSW developed as a direct response by our students to support those increasingly isolated due to the lockdown restrictions.

As we came to understand the longer-term implications of this virus, the service program responded to many financial pleas from our service partners by encouraging students to seek donations from families and friends through programs including The Salvation Army Red Shield Digital Doorknock, Jesuit Mission Walk in Solidarity, the Special Olympics Foundation and St. Canice’s Kitchen Backyard Winter Sleepout. Many of these initiatives are on-going, however at the time of writing, over $50,000 has been raised already.

As we venture into unknown territory in the latter parts of 2020 and into 2021, we will continue to draw insight from Ignatius to ensure that our Ignatian Service Program makes us available to serve those most in need in our society.

Staff Formation

2020 was a much disrupted year for Adult Formation. The onset of COVID 19 meant that several planned gatherings and programmes were either postponed or cancelled. Happily for six of our first year teachers, IGNIS 1 occurred at Canisius College in March and the feedback was extremely positive.

By the end of Term 3, with some social distancing measures relaxed, we were able to run the Days 1 – 4 Capstone Programme and over 40 staff were able to enjoy the day of formation. Early Term 4 saw the Heads and Assistant Heads of House Days of Reflection go ahead in Cova Cottage. The framework of Fr Johnny Go SJ’s Learning by Refraction was successfully applied to the days and very positive feedback was received.

The challenge for a post-COVID environment will be managing staff through the Province IGNIS courses and incorporating our newer staff into the Capstone Programme.

Chaplaincy

Chaplain: Fr Joe Dooley, SJ Lay Chaplain: Tom Riemer

Throughout the year, the Chaplaincy team together with the Ignatian Centre sought to assist staff, parents and students in the formation of young men of excellence in the direction of Competence, Conscience, Compassion, and Commitment- those characteristics which are more and more being recognised as critical features of Ignatian Education. So much of the Chaplains’ work is a ministry of presence: visiting classes from across the curricular and co-curricular spectrum, making a commitment to attend sport, theatrics, lunch activities, debating and spiritual events. The Chaplains assist with the ministry of retreat programs, in particular the Kairos Retreat for Year 11 and Year 12. The Chaplains spend additional time with those students in the Boarding House from something as simple as sharing a cup of tea or a meal with them, to offer the boys spiritual direction and in particular mentoring those students who have lost friends, family and loved ones –experiences which all students, devastatingly, experience at some time in their Riverview experience. The Chaplains are deeply grateful to staff, students and students for allowing us to join you on your Riverview journey.

Valete Mass

Retreats

2020 was an opportunity to re-imagine, adapt and reinterpret the retreats and reflection days across the College.

Year 11 engaged with a new program with the support of Year 12 Peer Ministers. The focus was on the infinite worth of every individualincluding ourselves.

Reflection Days for other year groups could take place in Term 3 and 4 and were particularly poignant in considering the nature of the year that has been, individual areas of challenge and growth and the importance of relationships, times of stillness, and prayer.

Year 5 and 6 engaged with the 4 C’s that characterise Ignatian Spirituality –conscience, compassion, commitment and competence.

Year 7 and 8 sought to Find God in All Things through group discussion, team sports, considering the significance of every moment and participating in House group Masses

Year 9 - bringing a prayerful lens to their experiences of the Year 9 Challenge

Year 10 – in a year where service opportunities have had to change in nature, they considered the realities of walking in the shoes of another and looked forward to planning service activities in 2021.

While Year 12 Retreats could not be held in 2020, 20 boys were able to participate in a Kairos Retreat after the HSC, allowing them to refocus on the gifts that they have received throughout their lives and what they wish to carry forward with them.

Spiritual Direction

With Mark Diggins as Spiritual Director at the College, it is one role that specifically relates to making the Spiritual Exercises accessible to the College Community. To this end, the following offerings were made available digitally in 2020:

Four Week Retreat in Daily Life - ‘On the Way’ – Spiritual Exercises for the Everyday

Pilgrim. This retreat in daily life offers staff an introduction to Ignatian Spirituality whilst providing the opportunity to get to know St Ignatius the Pilgrim. The exercises give staff and parents the chance to walk with their own experience and to reflect on how God companions them in their life through the movement of the Holy Spirit. This was offered and run in Term 2 this year.

The Spiritual Exercises – The Spiritual Exercises in Daily Life (30 weeks) continue to be offered to individual Staff and Parents of the College Community. In 2020 a growing number of adults availed themselves for this opportunity.

Regis Writing Revolution

This year the students at Regis made undeniably remarkable gains with their written expression. Through the implementation of ‘Seven Steps of Writing’, teachers were provided with professional consultation over a sustained period leading to great success in teaching writing.

Meanwhile, students wrote every day and in every academic subject; homerooms and specialist teachers were teaching writing – not just assigning it. Our teaching staff helped students attend closely to language, not merely by diagramming sentences or completing grammar worksheets, but by analysing the function of grammatical features, technical vocabulary, and transitional language words like ‘although’ and ‘despite’ so that they could employ them for rhetorical purposes in their own writing when writing persuasively.

Teachers learned how to integrate the language arts, helping students learn to read like writers and apply the same complex structures of argument in class discussion and debates, which they thoroughly enjoyed, into their written expression. During creative writing, teachers gave students greater control to write about the things they love and care about, which proved to be a powerful exercise.

We also found that students who were actively participating in reading circles made expediential growth with their written expression. All students were given scheduled time to think pair shares, jointly construct feedback, recite and share, allowing all boys to be writers showcasing their great works.

More importantly, though, our boys have learnt that writing is hard, joyful, worthwhile work that is meant to be shared with others.

A blink of my eyes was feeling like a drug filling my body. I was addicted to the sight. I started to question if this was the most glorious sight to be seen. I looked up at the sky which is more scintillating than the sun - it blinded me. It was glowing down onto the clear river like a spotlight shining down on the most famous person on earth. I looked at the seal who had eyes like a begging puppy, but jaws like a shark. Its whiskers were immense as it chased the two scared penguins whose fur was darker than the night sky. But as I looked up at the mountain there was something missing though. The floor was just a bunch of dirt with a messy grass that looked like a homeless man’s hair.

Washington DC was shining in the molten glow of the star we call the sun, as Walter Beckett tried not to get run over by shiny metal automobiles crossing the asphaltstricken road. He strode past his partner Agent Stirling who slid him a silvery case which analysed him as soon as he came into contact with it. He lounged down onto a dull green bench and plopped the case down beside him, pulling out his sugary sweet-smelling bagel simultaneously.

...A pigeon wandered out of the nearest trash can, it came up to him and glowered at the doughnut. Walter threw part of the doughnut onto the ground; the pigeon’s gaze followed the trajectory. Whack! was the sound he made after the pigeon had wrestled him to the ground, Walter tried to retaliate but the pigeon continued its brutal assault.

Ciaran Wilde (6.3)

SCREECH! Black cars skidded harshly across the road nearly hitting a man as he skipped past them. He had one mission to complete, one impossible mission; to launch the nuclear missile, and hit Moscow, Russia. Could he achieve this goal, being nearly as dumb as a donkey? Nobody knows, it might as well be mission impossible. Meanwhile, his worst enemy lingered near the streets of Washington, D.C, ready to strike, ready to kill. Ready to cause havoc and chaos among the peaceful people.

Joseph McKeown (6.4)

Harry Donahoe (Year 5)

Cars zoom across the bustling roads, the sun, a furnace as it glares down at the world below. In the distance, a pigeon sits, carefully surveying his surroundings for his target. Suddenly, a dark figure crosses the street. “That’s him,’’ the pigeon says to himself as he scans the man in black. Name: Walter Beckett, 6 foot 2, Dark hair, from England, nothing special. But it’s when the man exchanges a silver suitcase with another man does the pigeon make his move.

Carr 6.2

Macquarie Island, only a speck of green against the surrounding waters. A calm, ubiquitous home. At night the island, a faceless silhouette under the Southern Lights, a strand of green against the dark abyss.

An island full of unity and diversity, the population growing at unimaginable speed. The land mass, one none could compare. The wilderness of the rocky, green landscape - another world separate to the rest. Seals, birds, penguins, creatures, a community elated. Every day the tide came in as did the animals. As the fauna swam, flew, ran the flora blossomed the ecosystem something of its own. The years going past. The animals flourished, the species growing like wildfire. Everyday the island sighed, the grass blowing with it.

Charles Fuller (Year 5)

BEEP!! BEEP!! The cars roar as Agent Walter Beckett sprints across the road as quick as Usain Bolt slithering across the rough asphalt - though almost getting run over several times.

“Get out of the way!” screams a very contentious and aggressive man in his car. As he makes his way on the smoother footpath, Agent Beckett wipes his sweaty hand across his forehead, panting as hard as a dog on a hot summer’s day. “Phew”, he sighs, “that was close”.

Angus Tesoriero (6.1)

Regis Walkathon

An outstanding feature of Regis continues to be the very strong sense of community that prevails. We had a profound result of much needed funds from our walkathon. Students at Regis exceeded previous years’ fundraising totals as part of the school’s bi-annual Walkathon, held on the Feast of Saint Ignatius, Friday 31st July. Our boys’ fundraising efforts raised $31,378 – a phenomenal effort from all of our boys, their families and community.

Our Walkathon provided an excellent opportunity for our students to strengthen their understanding of Jesuit Mission and its global call to service. It also amplified our partnership with Xavier College Sisophon, building ties with the Jesuits and their Cambodian community.

Our School Captains reflected on the day:

“It’s a great feeling knowing we’re supporting great causes as we walked in unity with Jesuits around the world – especially in Cambodia.”

- George

“A big thank you to our valued Regis community. We are really proud of the students for the money they have raised. We are also really happy that we were able to complete the Walkathon.”

- Lachlan

Using Technology

For the last two years we have been working towards enhancing our use of technology, so that we are not merely substituting technology but designing and creating learning tasks which demonstrate Modification – where tasks are considerably re-designed – and Re-definition – where new tasks are created which were previously inconceivable. We were led virtually through this with our Apple Educator, Bev Babbage, who has been working in our classrooms and with staff for the last two years.

She has helped us greatly with our understanding and use of Nearpod, Keynote, Pages, Clips and incorporating a multidisciplinary layering of music, digital art, voice-overs and text within our learning tasks. While staff were re-connected with the SAMR model of incorporating technology into teaching and learning, our students were also led through lessons in their homerooms and with specialists where their technology skills in Keynote and animation of objects was enhanced. Year 6 developed a persuasive infographic on ‘Why we should wear masks’ and Year 5 learnt how to mark-up images of Antarctica in Clips to demonstrate their understanding about the content of the image and then use that image within other programs.

While it was certainly different not having Bev with us in person, for the most part we were able to utilise Zoom to bring her into our rooms, where she instructed and led us in our new skills. Both the boys and our staff were extremely responsive to this learning

model and many students became class ‘Tech Champions’ and they now have the opportunity to practise and enhance these skills by trying to create other tasks where they can ‘play’ with the technology to see what else they can do. We are so fortunate to have such a positive learning community who embraced this change of format and made the most of this wonderful learning opportunity.

How COVID-19 increased our psychological flexibility

During 2020 we had to embrace uncertainly, frequent education changes, and cancellation of Saturday sport – with a renewed sense of flexibility. When possible, we replaced competitive sport with in-school events such as the Ninja Warrior Challenge and Friday Noud Ball, which generated a lot of Regis spirit, cameraderie and student leadership.

As a community, we found the need to work on our mental strength. During Mentor groups we embraced challenging times. We taught and encouraged our boys to focus on stepping back, shifting perspectives and we placed more emphasis on values.

Stepping back allowed Regis students to place some emotional distance between things that they couldn’t control in order to remain calm and focused on learning. We found that keeping emotions levelled allowed us, as a

school, to remain focused on our learning and remain mindful of events that were actually going to take place.

We took time to reflect on, openly discuss and debate government movements, NSW health regulations and Riverview’s responses. These times helped our students to see things from different views so they could recognise and appreciate other perspectives.

This open dialogue encouraged student voices and cultivated a greater opportunity to acknowledge and emphasise our values as a community. We were able to teach the boys to respond to difficulties based on what they value rather than how they feel. This particularly helped us to process co-curricular setbacks as a community.

COVID-19 taught Regis that when we feel upset, we step back, shift perspective, and act based on our values rather than our feelings. Research strongly supports the idea that

psychological flexibility is at the heart of good mental health and resilience.

During 2020 we saw a lift in our boys’ vitality, curiosity, self-reliance, confidence, creativity and commitment to meaningful experiences such as our Walkathon, moving to Arrupe to ensure the Year 12s could complete their HSC Trials successfully, letter writing to isolated nursing homes and messages of hope to Xavier College, just to name a few.

2020 provided our students with a feeling that they have autonomy; that they can behave in competent ways and build relationships in positive ways. These are building blocks of motivation and serve as crucial foundations of wellbeing. We feel confident in saying 2020 was a year of greater accomplishment for all, building self-control and efficacy.

Regis Activities

Art Club

VISUAL ARTS TEACHER: MRS CATHERINE PENNING

Art at Regis had to be flexible this year. Moving from school-based to online learning would usually be difficult for a practical subject, however the boys at Regis rose to the challenge. Although COVID-19 restrictions impacted on art excursions, the Regis campus and senior school were both utilised as inspiration for a variety of artworks.

Year 5 eagerly explored the foreshore with their iPads, searching for that perfect photograph in the early morning light. They experimented with manipulating their photos to create digital collages back in the Art room. To further enhance their use of technology in expressing themselves, students and teachers were fortunate to enjoy sessions with Apple Education expert Bev Babbage. Students were given access to a number of educational apps and shown the many creative ways they could be used. The boys thoroughly enjoyed using these apps and of course were able to master them very quickly. There was so much enthusiasm as they collaborated on different projects using technology.

Drawing, painting and sculpting skills were developed over the year in both Year 5 and Year 6 using a variety of materials. The boys created sculptures in response to different books that were provided as a focus during Book Week in Term 4. Some of these sculptures were then used in animations, where the boys were given creative freedom to develop their own ideas. These clever and often humorous animations were shared proudly with their peers.

Regis students also were given insight into the way an illustrator works, seeing the entire process from the initial idea all the way through to the finished book.

Art Club also survived many changes to its usual format. Many projects were undertaken during the year, with many of the Year 6 boys creating original and colourful skateboard deck designs. Other boys explored lino printing, creating some colourful and creative artworks.

Whilst the Chess Club was unable to participate in the Primary & Secondary Schools Competition this year, the Club was able to continue by following social distancing guidelines with year groups separated and staying in different classrooms.

After three weeks of a round robin format between chess club members in Term 3, the Regis champions for 2020 were:

Year 6 Chess Champion: Lochlan Korowe

Year 5 Chess Champion: Joshua Francis

Congratulations to all our Regis Chess Club participants for showing enthusiasm and sportsmanship in our chess club.

Debating

MS TANIA GODFREY AND MRS MARILYN FITZGERALD

While Debating and Public Speaking at Regis commenced strongly with our students eagerly preparing for the season ahead, sadly, the week before graduation, the country went into lockdown and disappointed students were sent home. However, we look forward to the growth of Debating and Public Speaking at Regis in 2021.

Music

The Regis Choir

MR KIRK HUME

Each year as new singers from Year 5 enter the Regis Choir, the choir’s sound alters, taking on new colours and timbres. This year was no exception, with some really exceptional voices amongst the Year 5 boys adding their own unique qualities to the vocal blend. For many boys, the Regis Choir provides the first opportunity to sing in front of others and discover the special power and enjoyment that comes with ensemble singing.

In 2020, the Regis Choir explored mostly repertoire from the Asia-Pacific region. In Semester 1, the boys began by singing Dan Walker’s Out There, a song in two parts in which the boys sing of spending the day running around “out there” on the dry creek bed till the sun goes down. This boisterous song is quintessentially Australian in its compositional style and even incorporates a section of polyrhythmic handclapping. As a counterbalance, the boys learned the Maori lullaby Wairua Tapu Tau Mai Ra, a reflective piece also in two-part harmony.

In Term 4, the boys, undaunted by a brief postponement of the normal rehearsal schedule, returned to throw themselves into Christmas music ancient and modern. As well as two traditional Christmas songs dating from the 15th century, (Gaudete and O Come, O Come Emmanuel), they also enjoyed singing the more familiar Little Drummer Boy.

In years past, it has been a tradition for the Regis Choir to combine with the Ignatian Choir to sing carols in the Old Stairwell on the final day of school. While this was not possible

this year, in its place the Regis Choir were able to contribute their sound to a video for this year’s Advent Liturgy/Awards Ceremony on the final day of the school year.

As always, an integral part of the success of the Regis Choir is due to the indefatigable Christine Moriarty, whose expertise on the keyboard and encyclopaedic knowledge of liturgical music is a priceless asset to the College.

Regis Strings

MRS ROSALIND GRAHAM

A new format for Regis Strings was introduced this year with the idea of having a larger ensemble of keen string players from both Years 5 and 6. There was an enthusiastic response to invitations to join and an ensemble of 25 players has been meeting regularly on Tuesday lunchtimes for rehearsals. The boys have quickly bonded and formed a cohesive ensemble.

As this is the first string orchestra that many boys have experienced, we spent time developing our listening skills, learning to play exactly together and in canon. We also worked on our bowing skills, all trying to use similar parts of the bow and the same length of bow. Focussed attention on finger placement for fine tuning is an important skill for any string player and we are continually working on this aspect.

We have been working on four main pieces in Semester 2, one of which, ‘Dragonhunter’ by Richard Meyer, we were delighted to perform at the Regis Concert. This is a challenging work which employs a range of different string techniques and needs a great deal of energy to play effectively. The boys rose to the challenge and should be very proud of their achievements in this ensemble.

The aim of Regis Strings is to set in place the foundations for good string ensemble playing, which will be developed further in the other string ensembles in the Senior school. Intermediate Strings is the next level of ensemble, and for those reaching a more advanced level, there is the College Orchestra and Chamber Strings. We hope that many of the boys will enjoy their musical string journey for many years.

Regis Concert Band

MR JAMES WALDER

The Regis Concert Band has had a successful year and managed to overcome the challenges the year presented. Due to the large number of students enrolled in the ensemble at the beginning of the year, we moved from our previous rehearsal space of the Music Room into the Regis Hall. This allowed the students to have a feel for playing in a performance space and was fortuitous when we were forced to rehearse in a socially distanced setting. Having to rehearse with the ensemble spread across the entire hall has allowed the boys to improve their skills in watching the conductor, as well as listening carefully across the band while rehearsing.

One of the highlights of this year was our Distanced Recording Project. We recorded

‘Sunset Serenade’, an Australian piece of music by Brian Hogg, with each student recording their individual part from home, while playing along to video of myself conducting along with a backing track. These videos were pieced together to create a full performance of ‘Sunset Serenade’, and this recording was used at a number of College events, as well as displayed on Viewpoint.

The Regis Concert Band performed a variety of different genres and styles of music this year. We played a few pop hits, including Adele’s ‘Rolling Along in the Deep’ and Pharrell Williams’ ‘Happy’. We also played some standard Concert Band repertoire, including ‘Sunset Serenade’ and another Australian work, ‘With Flags Unfurled’, by Ralph Hultgren. In Term 4 we started learning a challenging jazz standard, ‘It Don’t Mean a Thing if it Ain’t Got that Swing’, by Duke Ellington. As always, we also played a few movie themes, starting the year with a favourite from last year, ‘Avengers’, and working on a medley of themes from ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End’.

I wish all the best to my Year 6 students as they move up to the Senior School and look forward to following their progress as young musicians. I am excited for my Year 5 students to be the senior players in the Regis Concert Band next year.

Regis Percussion Ensemble

MS ALISON PRATT

At the beginning of this year, the Junior Percussion Ensemble was meeting on Thursday afternoons at 3.30pm at the Senior School and was made up of a group of Years 5-7 students who were either already learning drums or percussion, or were pianists who knew how to read music. Unfortunately, rehearsals had to cease until further notice due to COVID-19 and all ensembles came to a standstill during Term 2.

Near the end of Term 3, some of the Junior Percussion Ensemble members were promoted to the Senior Percussion ensemble and a new Regis Percussion Ensemble was born! The rehearsals changed to lunchtimes on Thursdays and were offered to any Regis boy interested in playing drums/percussion - no prior percussion or music experience required. We now have an ensemble of eight committed members. The boys have shown great energy and enthusiasm and it has been a lot of fun working with all of them.

The Regis Percussion Ensemble presented their first public performance of a piece composed by myself (with lots of ideas from the boys, including the name of the piece!) at the final assembly in November.

Regis Guitar Ensemble

MR RICHARD CICHOCKI

The Regis Guitar Ensemble consists of students in Years 5 and 6 with a range of skill levels from beginner to advanced. While we had limited opportunities to perform at school events this year due to COVID, the students enjoyed learning and playing a wide selection of pieces from traditional to popular styles. Recording a video of them playing was a great experience for our students. Many of the Regis Guitar Ensemble students take private tuition lessons, and this has helped them to perfect their pieces. This year we also introduced a couple of electric guitars into the Ensemble.

Regis Rock Band

MR RICHARD CICHOCKI

The Regis Rock Band consists of Regis students performing on drums, bass guitar,

keyboard, guitars and vocals. The students have been highly motivated and have enjoyed playing a range of rock band pieces from the 60s to the 90s. The band has gained skills in working together and communicating musically with each other. While there were limited performance opportunities this year, they still managed to perform at the Year 6 Graduation Mass. All the students involved have enjoyed their experience in the Rock

and

and long lasting

Band

they have developed some great skills

friendships.

Regis Sports

Regis Campus Sport Report

REGIS CAMPUS SPORTMASTER / PDHPE TEACHER: MICHAEL NOUD

Sport in 2020 took an unusual turn due to the COVID19 pandemic, much of what was normal was turned upside down as we struggled, then managed to cope and cater for health and safety concerns of our students at Regis Campus as they involved themselves in our Sport Program.

Much of our normal sport landscape was changed or cancelled. Representation at school, Zone, Regional, State and even National levels were unable to go ahead, which meant many of our Regis students did not get an opportunity to represent the College at major sporting events. I have no doubt that the very talented group of athletes at Regis Campus this year would have done the College proud at all of these levels. Despite this disappointment, Regis students continued to play, to learn, to grow and to achieve fantastic results in school-based sport, once we finished lockdown and were able to return to some kind of normal routine.

This year challenged all our students, staff, parents and coaches as never before. It has been incredible to watch everyone involved in Regis sport rise to overcome so many challenges that have faced us in school and in society in general. It is breath-taking to see how something as simple as a sporting match can lift spirits and bring so much joy to everyone involved.

I would like to thank all the Regis students, our brilliant teaching staff and coaches for all your effort. An incredible amount of time has been spent by the College Executive, Mr Paul O’Brien, Mr Szabo, Mrs Remeeus, Mrs Godfrey and Ms Sally Gates, along with myself, to get Regis competing in weekly sport events occurring. Well done to everyone involved; with great efforts come great rewards. Sport is a unifying activity that can give us hope and joy.

Swimming Carnival

In 2020, the Regis Swimming Carnival was held at the Gartlan Centre Pool with all classes competing against each other to see who would win the coveted Swimming Trophy. After several weeks of PDHPE swimming lessons and a Year 5 camp that saw us surf and canoe, the students were prepared and excited to compete. The events included 25m, 50m and 100m races, relays and the crowd favourite: the boogie board relay.

Our Regis students competed at the Swimming Carnival with great enthusiasm and sportsmanship. Our students involved themselves in all the swimming events pitched to suit varying abilities and levels, including high level competitions for our very competitive and accomplished swimmers.

At the end of the 18th Annual Regis Campus Swimming Carnival, we presented the winning classes with their trophies. A great day in the pool was celebrated in a fun atmosphere that was enjoyably competitive with great sportsmanship throughout the day.

⁄ 1st in Year 6 – Class 6.3

Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, all other representative Swimming Carnivals – including NSW, CIS and NSW State Championships – were cancelled in the interest of public safety for 2020.

Cross Country Carnival

The Regis Campus Cross Country Carnival was held on Thursday 19th March 2020 at the Riverview senior campus Fields 1 and 1B. This year, the COVID-19 pandemic meant that the event was a fun day with an important focus on fitness and running, rather than being selectionbased. Instead of competing in individual age groups of 10, 11 and 12 years, the categories this year saw students compete in Year 5 and Year 6 races.

All our Regis students competed wholeheartedly giving their full effort, which was rewarded with an icy cold treat at the end of the race. It was fantastic to see the Regis students run to their best even though they knew there would be no selections for a representative carnival. It was wonderful to see boys running for the joy of running, and then to challenge themselves to achieve their individual best. The highlight of the day was the enthusiastic cheering and encouragement for all the boys who were trying their very best.

Athletics Carnival

The COVID situation meant that the Regis Campus Athletics Carnival had a focus on participation and effort. Despite no opportunities for further representation, the Regis students jumped wholeheartedly into Athletics in 2020. The number of entries in the track events was at an all time high. Boys ran, jumped, threw, competed and laughed the whole day.

The class Tug of War produced a number of epic battles with students straining to their limit. On the track, races were fast and furious, as students strived to achieve their personal bests. The high jump and shot-put events were hotly contested with spectators cheering on their friends and classmates.

The opportunity to compete at the Athletics Carnival despite the COVID situation gave all our students and staff a chance to feel like it was a normal year. Unfortunately, with the lockdown of our school, parents were not able to visit and support their children on the day.

When the day was over, it was wonderful to see so many happy faces as our Regis Students enjoyed a brilliant day of competition and fun.

Saturday Sport – Summer Terms 1 and 4

In Term 1 of 2020, Regis students arrived at school with great excitement and enthusiasm. From day one, all students commenced their involvement with the Regis sport program as they went directly into sport trials to play basketball, cricket, tennis and touch footy. Some sports, like cricket, were graded by year group, and the rest enabled students in Years 5 and 6 to play and train together. By week 2 of Term 1, our students had been selected into twelve basketball teams, seven cricket teams, five tennis teams and two touch teams, and began playing their first inter-school fixture.

The busy schedule continued and by week 3, Year 5 students were off to a three-day camp at Collaroy, while in week 4, all students were competing in the Regis Swimming Carnival at the Gartlan Pool in the senior school campus.

Regis students managed to play all of our Term 1 fixtures before the COVID-19 pandemic took hold and changed the sporting landscape. In Term 4, the season of Summer Sport was finally able to continue. With an incredible amount of time, planning and preparation of safe environments for students, the Summer Season did go ahead. There were a large number of changes to allow sport to be played safely, including QR scanning at venues, limited numbers of spectators, COVID protocols for hand sanitising and social distancing, which all became the norm. The competition became divided into cluster bubbles, meaning we could only compete against schools in our immediate geographical area. With all these processes in place, sport was off and running again, and teams adapted to the new protocols, allowing great improvement and skill development to occur. By the end of the season, Regis students had played the full 12 rounds of Summer Sport and had achieved fantastic results, with six teams going undefeated.

Term 1 and 4 - Undefeated Teams:

Saturday Sport – Winter Terms 2 and 3

The excitement of Regis students trialling for the Winter Sports of AFL, Football and Rugby was palpable. The Year 5 group was excited to pull on the blue and white jerseys for the first time. Teams were selected, training was intense but fun, and the skill base was very high as boys bonded and developed their skills and team play.

This year we continued to work as a school and Sport Association to grow and develop each individual code with the continuation of 9-a-side Football for under 11s, 7-a-side Rugby in the 11- and 12-year age groups, and 12-a-side AFL. Modifications were introduced to allow students more time playing and in contact with the ball, to help improve their skills in a fun and competitive way while developing them as players.

The season was under way and Riverview was enjoying the sounds of Winter Sport in full flight as boys strived to meet and master their individual football codes. Unfortunately, as has been the way all year, health concerns around COVID-19 meant that the season had to be

cut short. A great deal of effort had been spent selecting great coaches, grading students, preparing team draws and working on programs to help develop our players, only to have the season cancelled after just four games, much to the disappointment of students, parents and coaches.

The students at Regis were disappointed but took it all in stride and moved on to their next challenge. The games that were played gave a real indication that Regis teams would be of a high level and would be very competitive. The cancellation of the winter season also meant that many students did not have the opportunity to strive for higher selection in IPSHA, NSWCIS and State championships. I believe we had many highly skilled students who may well have been selected in these teams.

Sportsman of the Year 2020: Thomas Poynton

Thomas Poynton is the 2020 Sportsman of the Year at Regis Campus. In 2020, Thomas continued his dedicated approach to sport and training as he worked incredibly hard to achieve his sporting goals. Early in the year, Thomas attended the NSW CIS AFL Trials and was subsequently selected in the NSWCIS AFL team to attend the NSW Championships. Unfortunately, the COVID crisis meant that the NSW Championships were cancelled, which was a great disappointment.

Thomas set about to continue training hard for his other great passions of cross country, distance running and other Regis sports. At Regis Campus, Thomas is known as Turbo Tom as a sign of respect for his endless energy and his indefatigable abilities.

Thomas was a valued member of the Riverview Senior Athletics and Cross-Country squads, training with these groups and competing in many interschool events. Thomas also embraced the new fitness training program, SIC Active, that was introduced in the school.

The major factor for selecting Thomas as the Regis Sportsman of the Year was his positive attitude, incredible discipline to hard training and the consistent effort and high level of sportsmanship that Thomas displays on a daily basis. Thomas was awarded the Best & Fairest Player Award in AFL Team 1 and he was an important member of the undefeated Team 1 Touch Team. Thomas also signed on for the Armidale Rugby tour which was sadly cancelled in 2020.

Laureate Assembly

DEPUTY PRINCIPAL TEACHING AND LEARNING: MR RUSSELL NEWMAN

The Laureate Assembly required significant modification in 2020 due to the health restrictions resulting from COVID-19. A new model for this premier celebration of academic achievement needed to be formulated but it didn’t change the extraordinary expression of pride that the whole community felt for this group of graduates.

Once again, the graduating class set new records for the College and set higher benchmarks for others to follow. With two students achieving the highest possible ATAR of 99.95, the whole group stretched higher in the HSC bands than ever before.

An incredible 46% of eligible students achieved an ATAR over 90 and among the group were 13 top 5 places in NSW:

Chinese Extension

1st - Nick Leonard

2nd - Alex Hoffman

5th - Matt O’Dea

Chinese Continuers

1st - Matt O’Dea

2nd - Nick Leonard

3rd - Alex Hoffman

English Extension

2nd - Joe Ruddick

2nd - Jake Goodrich

Studies of Religion 1

2nd - Tom Sheridan

PDHPE

3rd - Alex Noble

Greek Extension

3rd - Alex Peters

Greek Continuers

3rd - Alex Peters

Geography

4th - Thomas Aalders

The number of students achieving AllRounder Awards for scoring a Band 6 in 10 or more units of study has been steadily increasing over recent years, and this year 15 students achieved this extraordinary feat. To be an All-Rounder means that these students have dedicated themselves to achieving excellence in all subjects.

Our All-Rounders for 2020 were: Tom Gaha, Jake Goodrich, Finlay Harris. Alex Hoffman, Max Holmes, Oliver Lenzner, Nick Leonard, Matthew O’Dea, Jude PaddonRow, Lucas Perrignon, Alexander Peters, Joseph Ruddick, Zac Sheffield, Andrew Spring and James Tannock.

It was, as always, a pleasure to welcome back our highest achieving students as well as those who had excelled in a number of exceptional ways. Naturally, those who had achieved an ATAR over 90 were applauded, but, so too were many other students who, although not quite reaching the 90+ rank, demonstrated extraordinary talent or learning growth which led to recognition beyond the physical borders of the College.

16 individual students were nominated for the NESA Showcase Series and, for the first time, this included nominations for InTech, the best of Technology works by Hunter Hartwig, Thomas Moore, Sam Pearson, Brock Twigg and Sebastian Wood. For their nominations for OnSTAGE, we congratulated Tom Andrews, Eamon Bateman, Pat Lucas, Toby McDonald, Matt Mildren, Oliver Murrie, Dermot O’Brien and Jude Paddon-Row. For their Music major works and performances, we congratulated Fergus Collins, Thomas Hatzidis and Charlie Hunter who were all nominated for Encore.

This year we applauded the range of opportunities our Laureates have decided to explore after school. More students are moving into tertiary studies in the science and medical fields and, despite the global impact of COVID-19, a number of our students have

accepted prestigious offers to some of the world’s finest universities; Charlie Hunter received an offer to Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, Christian Taylor to Fordham University in New York, Nick Leonard has been accepted into Oxford University and Finlay Harris will be studying at Cambridge, both in the United Kingdom.

This year saw an increase in the number of students achieving early entry offers from local universities with 107 individual offers, the majority of which came from Macquarie University and the University of New England.

Duces and Proxime 2020

For the first time in Riverview history, two students shared the highest possible rank in the nation. Our College Duces, Oliver Lenzner and Nick Leonard, shared the number one position with ATARs of 99.95, followed closely by our Proxime, Alex Hoffman, with an ATAR of 99.90.

It was, once again, a true honour to work with this dedicated and enthusiastic cohort of students. We are very proud of everything they have achieved and we wish them all God’s blessings as they find their path in the world.

Memoriale Assembly

MR MICHAEL PHILLIP (OR1985)

My name is Michael Phillip, Sam’s father, and I started here in Year 7 in 1980, the College’s centenary year. I grew up on Riverview Street. In fact, I could hear the Regis bell from my kitchen, invariably meaning I was late for school despite the desperate sprint across 5th Field.

In my day there was no Gartlan, Ramsay Hall, O’Kelly Theatre, Christopher Brennan Library or Kevin Fagan House. In summer, there were four sports on offer, versus 15 today, and two in winter. It had been that way for 100 years and there was little call for change. But after a tragic accident to my classmate, Greg Moran, the College began to offer soccer and AFL, and this change is now embraced GPS-wide.

In my infinite teenage wisdom, which I am sure you can all relate to, I was no fan of this change to the rugby tradition. But I was wrong. This needed to change, but it took courage to make it happen.

In the 1980s we didn’t have a SEIP Program, a formal Bursary Program or a First Nations Program. During my years at Riverview, unfortunately there were very few Indigenous students here. Our version of Ignatian Service was a very poor comparison to your multi-year obligation of learning to help others.

The associated Immersion Program goes even further. Even though immersions occur in holidays and conflict with sport camps, there aren’t enough places for demand. That’s a marvellous reflection on College culture, and

on you and the values you’ll take with you when you leave.

The House System started in 1983 with eight Houses and the Mentor Program didn’t really exist. Instead, every morning we met in year groups by opening partitions across the Wallace Wing classrooms. Our daily messages were familiar: pull up your socks, do your tie up and of course, get a haircut.

In the 1980s there were about 30 Jesuits here. They were a wonderful collection of personalities who were involved in every aspect of College life. They taught us in the classroom, coached us in Debating, on the field and on the water, refereed us, led us in singing, took our Confessions and said Mass for us. The esteem they were held in meant they celebrated weddings for many of us too.

Riverview in the 1980s celebrated mostly sport. There was no Laureate Assembly. Rowers got blazer lines, but not musicians. The fact that Music and Drama are now recognised on blazers shows a College changing for the better. It’s a pity there wasn’t more music recognition; in 1983 I was part of Riverview’s Brass Band and we won the National Brass Band Championship – D Grade. We also sang quite well, and even so, we were a tough bunch.

It took only 15 of us to get through an entire rugby season. We needed only one coach, a teacher who gave up two afternoons and their Saturday mornings. We played rain, hail or shine. I never had a rugby game cancelled. My first game in the Under 12s was played on Gorman Field in the mud.

The Boarding House that was in this building included open air dorms. In bad weather some boarders got wet. They prided themselves on eating oranges non-stop to keep a cold at bay. We started rowing in unsinkable tubs, so heavy they entered the water bow-first. These things are now museum pieces – a lot like their crews.

Indeed we were tough, but this did not always reflect positively.

Growing up locally, I was aware of Matty Shields. His daily walk around the neighbourhood continues today. He was ignored by Riverview and treated poorly by neighbourhood kids. To return to see Matty hailed as ‘Riverview’s no. 1 supporter’ is inspirational. For me it’s a wake-up call to the failings of my generation and my own personal indifference. Thank goodness for your kinder and more inclusive generation.

Even without the Gartlan, Ramsay, Brennan or O’Kelly infrastructure we knew we were part of something to be proud of. But there’s always room for improvement.

I didn’t send Sam to Riverview for just sandstone and swimming pools, for an ATAR, for Ignatian Service, for rowing or rugby. But rather for the varied physical and mental challenges, and to instil social values reflecting Jesuit traditions. I imagine other parents would say something similar.

Riverview is a leader in social values in many ways. By lifting up Matty, by treasuring the Immersion Program, by embracing the Bursary, SEIP and First Nations Programs, by honouring the performing arts and academics as much as everything else, you’ve helped create new and great traditions.

It’s known that some of the strongest relationships you develop are from ages 16 to 23, particularly those formed in intense, shared experiences. Riverview represents the first phase of your journey. I heard recently that we are all the sum total of our five closest friends. Look around you, appreciate what you have and continue to choose wisely. The true test of Riverview’s quality is not in ATARs or premierships, but rather the values of the young men sitting here.

You have a great foundation from all this, but here are my three hopes for you:

Firstly, at some future point, whether passing York’s Corner after your last exam or arriving for your Year reunion, or maybe even as you proudly bring your son through these gates for the first time, I hope you appreciate the amazing and dedicated staff who helped forge who you are.

Secondly, when you do return and notice changes, that you are as in awe as I am now of how this place continually improves. Perhaps, like me, you too will have your values and opinions tested once again.

Thirdly, with ‘One Foot Raised’ you take these compass points and values and use them for good. From small acts of kindness to uplifting leadership, I hope that you come close to the enormous potential I see in front of me today.

Gentlemen, the sandstone and swimming pool has done its bit. The wonderful people inside these walls have done their bit and your parents’ influence will ease. The rest, as they say, is up to you.

Year in Review

2020 Motto: One Foot Raised

CAPTAIN: ARCHIE CORNELL

The following is an edited version of the speech delivered.

Good Morning, Dr Hine, Fr Healy, staff, students, parents, families and specifically the graduating Class of 2020. It has been a long while since I have been able to stand and address you all face to face, and I have to say without a doubt, this has been the toughest speech of my captaincy. I imagine it is so for all College Captains.

2020 has certainly been an incredible year in every sense. It started with such promise at our collective inauguration a little over 12 months ago. We’d finally made it hadn’t we? Year 12 - it’s the most incredible feeling to be at the apex of this school - humble and proud in equal measure - but mostly excited to have finally arrived. We’d watched it for years - waiting with anticipation and excitement - and here we were at the helm of Riverview - one of our nation’s greatest schools, and it wasn’t lost on our year group how privileged we all were to be here. Many schools can only dream of the legacy that ours has - created by all those who’ve gone before us for over a century. Just take a look behind me. The buildings all around us speak directly to a very proud heritage. And so it was finally our turn to be inaugurated as the leaders of this incredible institution.

This year has certainly been cause for celebration, in fact, maybe multiple. As our tenure draws to a close and I look around at this much smaller gathering - just us, the Year 12 cohort - I’m beyond proud to be part of this group - and we have achieved much to be proud of and excited about.

So much in fact that some would say a little too excited. Ando went absolutely dumb in the Therry bathrooms, Bill and Bernie created the Belany Sandwich, Sam Kelly introduced himself to Griffith Macca’s, Sharky Shark ran some completely scintillating races and Olly Lenzner even scored an 18/20 in an English essay.

It would’ve been very easy to rest on our laurels this year and allow the commotion to consume us, but for Year 12 of 2020 – it was never going to be that way. In fact, the list below speaks to a very, very different reality…

Term 1, 2020: Riverview’s most dominant display at the Head of the River in recent memory. A third straight golf premiership. A third cricket premiership in five years with two GPS representatives. A third swimming premiership in four years led by the fastest backstroker the GPS has ever seen. We couldn’t really have asked for a better start.

Then it all hit us. Time away from school, remote learning, social distancing. But yet again, it didn’t have to stop there and it didn’t.

Term 3, 2020: The fifth AFL premiership in the last six years – undefeated, I should add. Our debaters took out the GPS crown for the first time since 2008. The 1st XI soccer completed their fourth straight premiership and in about three hours time will go to war with Kings to ensure it is an outright win.

We have so many extremely talented young men – musicians, debaters, swimmers, and as if Dally Bird’s ego couldn’t get any bigger, we saw him walk off the stage with more trophies than even he could handle.

In all seriousness, we are aiming to finish strong this year, right until the final siren sounds.

I think it’s safe to say that 2020, against all odds, has been one of, if not the most fruitful co-curricular years in a long time at the

College. This kind of feat does not occur without full dedication to all facets of College life. It comes down to us. All 241 of us. As I look at all of you here today, there isn’t one person who hasn’t contributed to this level of success.

It is truly remarkable, amongst all the background noise, the way we have rallied and supported each other this year.

In that same vein, I’d like to acknowledge all the teaching and coaching staff here at Riverview. Many have shared our journey and with us, all have faced challenges in 2020 that were difficult and varied. Remote learning was no longer the exclusive domain of kids in outback Australia, and whilst it was no substitute for face to face learning - our deep thanks go out to you all for your care and consideration, your ability to mobilise and adjust your teaching methods –to prioritise our year group, and for continuing to reach out to us all pastorally. To the IT staff, who put in countless hours of work and even scrambled to justify why computer viruses on our laptops were spreading faster than COVID-19, we thank you endlessly.

There are so many people behind the scenes, too many to mention, who I would love to individually call on stage and acknowledge for their commitment and dedication to the student body. I’m not going to sugarcoat it, for us Year 12s it was a less than desirable environment, but we thank you all and we hope we do you all proud.

We’ve all met the challenges this year has thrown at us at full force, but as young men, few have had to fight as hard for any and every

Archie Cornell, 2020 College Captain

concession - things that the Year 12s before us and hopefully the Year 12s who will follow us - will be rewarded with without such a struggle. It may be clichéd but I believe our cohort will be the stronger for it, and at times when the College has required our compliance - whilst incredibly difficult to accept - our modified behaviour has allowed the College safe passage through the Coronavirus. Here I also extend our thanks to all the boys from Years 5 to 11 - thank you all for being adaptable and accepting of change that allowed us to make it through our HSC trials specifically. 2020 didn’t just happen to Year 12 - it happened to us all. Together we’ve faced a once-in-a-century global pandemic crisis head-on. We truly hope that our sacrifice and leadership has allowed you all to see a brighter future in the coming year, or to put it more acutely, that our losses may be your gain.

To Dr Hine, Mr Kam, Mr Lowe and the entire Executive, we extend our thanks. This year saw every facet of the College challenged, and we could not have arrived to this point without your constant dedication to that end. You, along with so many people behind the scenes, have been amazing to us and the set ups we have indulged in this week are a testament to the unparalleled tenacity of the teaching body at this school.

But whilst all this action is the spirit of our College - it is not its beating heart. The beating heart belongs to the student body and our voice. The valued voice that intertwines Riverview’s DNA. 12 months ago we made a promise: to lead and navigate through the year with One Foot Raised. And we are still here to be that voice. We do not, we cannot allow fear and risk to become the drivers of, or leach into the DNA of this College. Riverview is not the place for it. It never has been. Make the tough decisions. When there is a need for change, then change. When there is a need for positivity, be positive. If there is a call for direction, be pioneers of your own paths. Don’t sit back and allow the world to dictate how we lead, act and behave. Let’s live up to our motto, live up to our name and follow in the path of the Jesuits with One Foot Raised. The Jesuits paved their own path. So next year, pave yours.

We began our leadership with the motto One Foot Raised. I said to you then, “No one will know what O.F.R. stands for or means. But we will. And that’s all that matters. As long as we know what we stand for, we can imagine an inspiring future and strive to shape it.

It is with one foot raised that we will challenge what is ahead of us.

It is with one foot raised, that we will strive for the Magis.

It is with one foot raised, that we question everything.

It is with one foot raised, that we carry on the legacy of this great school.

We all delivered on our promise. It doesn’t matter which way you look at it. We delivered.

To the men of 2020, the message is the same. We are a year group of men who are phenomenally strong - the unique challenges of this year have allowed us to demonstrate this in spades. We’ve shone through adversity, remained positive, been united in sorrow, found inspiration amongst our peers, and we now know that we are made of the stuff that allows us to make that try-saving tackle, score the match-winning runs and push the boat that bit harder for line honours.

I’d like to finish with a parting message to the boys here today - when we leave this great school of ours, let us not think of everything we have lost, but think instead of everything we have gained. Our journey here at Riverview has not been defined by one year – for many of us it is the collective experience of up to eight years here at Riverview. Together, we’ve ridden the ultimate version of life’s roller coaster - so many highs and some lows - and whilst this is a year that no one will ever forget, it is not the sum of us.

Lastly, to Spring and Westo, the biggest of thank yous on a day like this. I get to stand up here and deliver a speech while you both watch - in awe or dismay – but it’s you guys who have helped me to get through a year with everything seemingly falling apart around us, and nothing would be possible without you.

So, congratulations boys – we faced down a global pandemic, and I could not be prouder of this cohort of 241 men. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for each and every one of you. In the words of St Ignatius Loyola, ‘Go forth and set the world on fire.’

Valete Assembly Address

GUEST OF HONOUR: DR

GREG O’MAHONEY (1994)

The following is an edited version of the speech delivered.

The theme of today introduced by Father Rector earlier is that of ‘Journey’, and I can honestly say that apart from maybe my family home, no place has affected my journey more than this very special place. It is a great honour and thrill to be with you this afternoon.

I remember vividly sitting where you are now, the excitement, the thrill – and the fear – about the future. I remember the promise of the coming summer holiday, the nervousness about the approaching exams and the happiness that came with knowing they would soon be over.

But I remember, perhaps most of all, a feeling of sadness. The sense of an amazing chapter closing with my time here coming to an end, and quietly wondering to myself whether I would ever be part of a community like this again. It might not dawn on you today, it might not dawn on you for some time, but it was certainly something that hit me very hard in those last few weeks here.

I think the good news, looking back, is that I didn’t have much to worry about, and nor should you. There’s a couple of reasons why I say that.

First, the community that you are part of today, that has forged the young men you are and the young men you will continue to grow to be, will always be a massive part of your life. Sure, you’ll stop turning up to this College every morning, you’ll stop putting on these uniforms, but you will never really leave this place in terms of what you learnt here, the friendships you forged, the teachers and ideas that inspired you, the people you met, the passions you identified, the things you wanted to do with those passions and the dreams you started seeing even the faintest glimmers of.

Second, and even more importantly, you will grow to find and become a part of new communities, new villages. Whether it’s because of a sports team you play in, an experience you have living overseas, a new job, a gym you sign up to, a partner you start seeing, any further study you take on or a club you join at university, life has this incredible ability to keep sending your way the feeling of being part of a community – of belonging to a group of people that really care about you –that this place gives you so fully. You just need to be open to that happening, and to choose your communities carefully.

Year 12 is an incredible year – and I know you’ve had a really dislocated one. It is a special year, and a wonderful honour to suddenly find yourself among the leaders of this College. However, as the actor Jack Nicholson reportedly said at his 70th birthday, “I’ve made a lot of mistakes along the journey, but I can honestly say that every decade of my adult life has been more enjoyable and meaningful for me than the one before.”

There’s a lot to be said for always telling yourself that the best year of your life is the one that lies ahead – even if it doesn’t end up playing out that way. What I can promise you is that each one of those years and decades ahead will be all the richer, more vibrant and more memorable for the time you spent here – for the friendships you struck, the lessons you learned, the successes you had and the losses you had to muscle through. You will never, ever forget those things.

I’d like to offer a few reflections from my journey that may or may not mean something to you. There are three ideas I would like to convey.

The first is gratitude.

I read an article the other day that suggested one of the most incredible drivers of positive mental health outcomes in any setting is gratitude, and an ability to be grateful. If that health benefit is true, it is a wonderful byproduct of why you should all feel grateful.

I want you to feel grateful because you have more reasons to be grateful than perhaps any other group of 18 year-olds on the planet. It is the rarest of honours and privileges to be able to say you spent some of the most formative years of your life at this place. Whether you know it today, whether you come to realise it over the summer holidays or 10 years hence, you owe a debt of gratitude to your teachers –the men and women who taught you, inspired you, believed in you and (more importantly) made you believe in yourself – that you will never be able to repay. Some of them are sitting among you now, many of them cannot be here today. All of them, I assure you, have had their own stresses, their own family to care for, their own loved ones to worry about during these unprecedented times, but they have all turned up, day-in, day-out, to try to make you and your final year here as good as it can possibly be. Never, ever forget that.

Of course, that is a layered debt of gratitude in the sense that we mustn’t forget your parents and loved-ones who gave you the incredible opportunity to learn from those teachers. You might not know it, but if your experience is anything like mine, your parents made extraordinary sacrifices to get you and keep you here.

I would encourage all of you to honour the belief that your parents, that your teachers, have put in you and to honour the skills

and talents they’ve helped you identify and explore, by being the very best at those things you can be. The greatest obligation that falls on any person with any talent is to turn that talent to the benefit of the disadvantaged. To do something with that talent that helps the people who need it most. I would encourage you all to remember that.

Let me just say a few words about how lucky you are. I have been fortunate enough, through my time at Sydney University and Oxford University, to learn at the feet of some of the great English literature scholars and legal minds this country, and the UK, has ever seen. Some of them are regarded as once-ina-generation leading minds globally within their disciplines. I mean no disrespect to those extraordinary men and women when I say this, but none of the classes affected me like the most memorable classes I had here.

The greatest educational experience I had was studying English in Years 8 to 12, and within that time, nothing came close to the Year 8 English classes taught by Erroll Lea Scarlett. In the very first class that year, Mr Lea Scarlett told us he was putting the curriculum to one side completely and each week would teach

us about one of the finest novels, plays or poets in the English language. He said, “If you don’t like that and you want to follow the curriculum, you are welcome to go to another class.”

Those 12 months were extraordinary in my life. They instilled in me a love of literature, a love of what spoken and written words can do and of what worlds, people, places – imagined and real – can look like when you are taken to them by lucid, restless minds laced with creative energy.

There are so many other lessons and inspiring teachers from this place that you will channel in the years ahead.

I remember sitting in the seats you are in now watching speeches from Greg O’Kelly, Father Bullen, James Rogers and students in years above me like Andrew O’Keefe, feeling absolutely inspired by seeing leaders of this community stand in front of 2,000 people and speak to me like I was the only person in the audience. That is a skill that is truly extraordinary and that affected me from a very young age. There are of course many others I haven’t named today.

So please feel grateful. Do it for all the right reasons and never forget the obligation or responsibility that comes with the wonderful opportunities that you have all had.

The second point I want to make is a simple one: please don’t let who you are today define you.

If you’ve tried learning Spanish and it hasn’t gone too well, or you are a mediocre guitarist, or you love French but you’re hopeless at it –don’t think that is going to be the case forever. I loved public speaking from a very young age, but I spent most of my time trying to get into a debating team and often failing. One of the happiest memories I have was on a Saturday morning, in Year 12, getting a call from the debating master, Mr Glen Spencer King. He said, “Greg, I’ve got some good news. You’ve been selected in the 2nd Debating team.”

I was over the moon and just as I was processing this he said, “Don’t get too excited, I just want to make one thing clear. You’re the last person who got selected in the team.”

Don’t think for a moment you are defined by what you have done or are doing now. Many

2020 Insignis Medal winner Alex Noble with Fr Healy, Mr Greg Mackay, Mr Greg O’Mahoney, Mr Russell Newman and Dr Hine

of my friends didn’t love study when they were here. They went to university, found a course they were passionate about and are now leading doctors, marine biologists, broadcasters, painters and sculptors.

The final topic I want to talk about is leadership. It is an important topic.

I have it on the very best of authority that this graduating class has displayed leadership within this community of a kind many senior teachers think is truly exceptional.

You should wear that as a massive badge of honour. I say that because you haven’t displayed leadership at just any time. You’ve done it during a time when the younger members of this College needed leadership, guidance and support from its Year 12 students – perhaps more so than any time since the Vietnam or Second World Wars. You should be proud that your teachers have that to say about you.

You should also not think that leadership stops here. We need the leadership you have shown outside these grounds more than ever. We live in a world where within our own country, families and children within our Indigenous communities live in Third World conditions. We live in a time where human rights are being trampled, not by dictators, not by tyrants, but by elected officials within our own land. Within our lifetimes, perhaps the most powerful country in our world will be a country that treats basic human freedoms and liberties not as a guiding beacon, but as a distraction or an inconvenience.

I cannot emphasise enough how much your leadership, your talents and your skills, are going to be required as you go forward.

I’d like to conclude with a story about leadership that has affected me in the last few years whilst sitting on the Selection Committee for the Rhodes Scholarship to shortlist a large number of applications from students.

Leadership is often spoken about in terms of formal titles: school captain, president of the student body at university, captain of a sports team and so on. But leadership often appears in the most intimate and personal of settings.

It is against that backdrop that a few years ago there was one student who stood out. He was an extraordinary student. He had come from interstate, dominated in three sports across his state and had been dux and captain of his school. He went to university in Sydney and for three years he shot the lights out. His marks were extraordinary, as were his list of achievements.

Then for almost two years, he failed a couple of courses and went from high distinctions to scoring passes. Then towards the end of his time at university, he went back to being a high distinction student. There was nothing in his application to explain this and we had the most heated debate within the Selection Committee whether to shortlist him for an interview. I wanted to hear his story. What had happened?

Thankfully he was interviewed, and I had the opportunity to ask him. The answer was unforgettable.

He had come from a big family and moved interstate to study, and not long after, his father had taken his life. On the back of this, his mother had developed a serious drug addiction and he suddenly found himself interstate, with young siblings, being the senior member of his family.

To cope, he started cramming his courses and classes into three days a week. He worked overnight stacking shelves at a supermarket to make some money to support his siblings, before flying back home on weekends to spend a few days with his family. He would make lunch for his younger sisters and brothers. He would try to be a bit of a father figure for them, and at the same time try to write essays and meet university commitments. Then he would fly back on Monday and do it all again.

After he told the story, there was not a dry eye in the room. It was one of the most moving and affecting moments I’ve had in any context. The committee agreed, and there was no further discussion where the scholarship would go that year.

I tell you that story because this College, like many institutions, must hold people up. House-Captains, School-Captains, Vice-Captains, captains of sport, leads in Drama and so on. You can see achievements on school blazers. But there is a form of leadership that is a lot more meaningful and personal than any of that, which often isn’t known, let alone celebrated. It is a form of leadership that, in many ways, is more powerful than any other.

On that note, congratulations on making it to where you are sitting today. Be so excited about the future ahead of you. Be so mindful of how grateful you should be for the fact that you occupy these seats. Never forget about the debt of gratitude you owe to the men and women here today who have shaped your journey through this school, and I wish you all the very, very best for what lies ahead.

Awards

The Insignis Medal Winner, 2020

FR GERRY SJ, RECTOR

Alexander Noble

‘Insignis’ means to stand out amongst one’s peers. Ignatius used this descriptor for a person he believed had the most potential for the greater good. The Insignis Award is thus the highest honour that Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview can bestow upon a young man when he graduates. It is awarded to one who has been conspicuously involved in the breadth of College life and who has earned the esteem of his contemporaries and teachers.

The 2020 Insignis Medal is awarded to a young man who has already inspired thousands of people of all ages. His reach has been remarkable and is matched only by his desire to bring about change which will benefit many for generations to come.

Humble, modest and at times quite shy, this young man has laboured behind the scenes to bring hope to many other young men at Riverview by visiting them in their classes and sharing stories of triumph, of challenge, of fear and of dedication. His quick wit, wry smile and gentle manner make him popular among his peers but at the same time make him a purposeful advocate for the other.

His involvement in College life has been extensive but he was most often seen in a rugby jersey or wearing athletic attire on his way to or from training and competition. It was his competitive spirit and the determination to keep finding new ways around every challenge, which ultimately led him to make his mark on the College community in his final years.

The 2020 Insignis Winner is a person with a large heart who has demonstrated a leadership style not unlike Ignatius himself, influencing the companions with whom he labours daily and creating movements which will resonate far beyond his local sphere.

Due to circumstances beyond his control, our Insignis winner was unable to attend school for the final term of Year 10. He also missed the entire preliminary year of the HSC because he was unable to attend school and unable to engage in any lessons. But he returned to start Year 12, albeit only at two days per week, with the seemingly insurmountable challenge of making up for all that lost time and achieving a respectable HSC result. Over the first term he gradually increased his days and hours in class and that competitive spirit pushed him to persevere and to give every waking hour to revision and learning. He has today been acknowledged for being placed first in one of his subjects.

Along the way, he held his head high as an advocate for dignity and strength, courage and resolve, with a determination to serve the greater good. Please join me in congratulating a young man for whom ‘One Foot Raised’ holds special significance, as he continues to fight his fight and encourages others to do the same.

The very worthy winner of the 2020 Insignis Medal is Alex Noble.

Alex Noble, recipient of this year’s Insignis Medal with Valete guest speaker Dr Greg O’Mahoney and Dr Paul Hine.

The Dr. James L’Estrange Prize for Ignatian Service: Patrick Lucas

The winner of this year’s Dr. James L’Estrange Prize for Ignatian Service is a young man who demonstrates what it means to be a man of service; a man who seeks, as Ignatius implores us, to allow life to be the teacher - to take seriously our experience and allow skilled reflection to direct future movements and decisions.

This young man has been involved in a wide range of Ignatian Service activities across his time at the College. In recent years, he held the role of House Service Leader. He has had a particular focus on the Starlight Room, spending far more time than was required of him, accompanying children for whom serious and debilitating illness is an everyday reality. When I spoke with him about his time at the Starlight Room, it was the simple things that stood out... a playful smile, a response of joy and happiness when all around seemed fearful and doubtful. He communicated a real sense of sympathy, simple and rewarding.

He spoke of the personal shift from task to desire which arose through working with these sick and vulnerable children, and the feeling of encouragement that came with that. This is the paradox of our faith - that it is only through exposing ourselves to vulnerability and weakness that we in turn are built up, and so can build up others. This is another way of articulating Ignatius’ contemporaneously revolutionary insight - that God is to be sought and found in all things - particularly those that render us weak and vulnerable, and it is a real testament to our awardee today that he can do just that.

This characteristic is one that our awardee has applied to many areas of College life. Our winner has been a constant contributor in the areas of Music, Debating and Drama, receiving an OnSTAGE nomination for his individual drama piece. He was a member of the Cross Country and Senior Track and Field teams in 2019 and 2020, and has taken on leadership positions for which he was well prepared through his time as a graduate of the Arrupe Academy. He would say that a real highlight of his schooling days, somewhat unexpectedly, was his Kairos Retreat. He took part in an Immersion to Nepal, and the Companions in Formation Exchange Program to the United States. Tellingly, it was this experience that caused a re-evaluation of what was important to him, and this has certainly informed his approach to life and to how he serves.

Jesuit Education strives to ensure that the man who walks out of our gates is comfortable with the notion of Human Excellence. In Ignatian terms, this is what it means to have achieved success; to be great. This young man is one who reminds us that, in the words of Dr King, “Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”

Love and Grace - these are Ignatius’ only requests. This winner is one that Ignatius would ask no more of. There is a deep sense that our community is a more authentic one thanks to his presence. Today, we present the Dr. James L’Estrange Prize for Ignatian Service to Patrick Lucas.

The Michael Cunich Memorial Prize for Excellence of Character: Archie Cornell

It is often said that Ignatian leadership is characterised by a disposition of ‘mind, heart and will.’ Today we present the Michael Cunich Memorial Prize for Excellence of Character to a student who has sought to give himself to the College in the most selfless of ways.

When considering this young man and the leader he has been, a starting point can be found in Shakespeare’s King Henry VI’s reflection that “My crown is in my heart, not on my head; Not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, Nor to be seen.” What is implied is that one is here for the purpose of serving others, not for one’s own benefit. This accurately describes this young man over the years at the College but undoubtedly the greatest expression of his servant leadership was over the course of this extraordinary year.

The recipient of this award traditionally is known for approaching their learning in a conscientious, gracious and magnanimous manner while embracing all facets of College life. A review of his reports through his eight years at the College sees words and phrases like ‘respectful’, ‘cheerful and enthusiastic’, ‘highly capable’ and ‘friendly’ characterising his time at the College. He has also been a keen sportsman across many pursuits and in his senior year he was appointed Captain of the First XI Cricket team and skilfully led the team to a GPS premiership. It must be said that his time here as a student can best be described as the coalescence of diligence and generosity.

Spiritual conviction through a faith that does justice has also been a hallmark of his time at the College. Among other things, he volunteered in various institutions from

Chatswood, and across to the Eastern suburbs. The pinnacle of his service program was his involvement in a three-week Immersion program to Cambodia, which saw him teach and assist some of the most marginalised children in orphanages and schools across South East Asia. This speaks of a young man of considerable compassion who has a defined understanding of, and response to, social justice and global citizenship.

Over the course of this year, his presence as a leader took shape in the most extraordinary of circumstances. Having properly prepared himself to lead across many spheres of the College as the Captain, the year was suddenly stripped of its traditional events, milestones and rites of passage. Subsequently he found himself on a journey of leadership that had not been previously trod; there was no roadmap from which he could fall back on to lead a community. At the same time, the Riverview community looked to its leaders for consolation. At this point, just as Shakespeare’s King Henry reflected, he led from his heart. He wrote to the community, he spoke to the community, and in so doing he rallied the community to find strength in each other.

Yet the most fearless leaders are those who continue to lead with integrity in the face of adversity whilst staying true to their values. As College Captain in 2020, this young man was unwavering in his belief that one must lead selflessly and with integrity. He moved seamlessly across the range of social groups in his year group and roused an entire school community through his speeches. Archie Cornell is the worthy recipient of the Michael Cunich Memorial Prize for Excellence of Character.

The Shore School Centenary Prize for a Senior Day Student and Outstanding Academic Achievement: Nicholas Leonard

The Shore School Centenary Prize recognises a student who has demonstrated a commitment to academic excellence and a sense of sportsmanship in his cocurricular activities. Today’s recipient is a student who has consistently demonstrated the highest level of academic proficiency throughout his time at the College. He has exhibited a mastery of the knowledge and skills required by a diverse range of subjects ranging from the Languages to the Science and Mathematics disciplines.

This exceptional young man joined the College in Year 9 and since that time has continually excelled, receiving awards for being in the top 10% of each cohort, as well as several Academic Excellence awards and an ongoing series of top ten rankings across all of his subjects. He has demonstrated the highest level of commitment to the virtue of scholarship. In his final concluding year, he has managed to secure the following rankings across his pattern of study: 1st in Chemistry, 1st in Chinese Extension, 1st in Mathematics Extension 1, 2nd in Chinese Continuers, 3rd in Mathematics Extension 2, and 4th in Advanced English.

A key academic highlight for today’s recipient is that he managed to achieve a perfect score on his Chinese Extension Trial Examination, which is something that his teacher has not witnessed in his 15 years of teaching the course. His Chinese teacher puts this down to his superior time management skills and his unique ability to continually stay ahead of the content by previewing course work in advance, participating actively when the content

is taught in class and then engaging in a deep reflective capacity immediately afterwards in order to shift this new knowledge out of his working memory and into a more permanent form ready to be called upon at a later date.

His mathematics teacher recognises today’s winner as a naturally gifted mathematician who displays humility, politeness, a great sense of humour and an unassuming nature. These characteristics were on display in a period when this student was located overseas due to travel disruption relating to COVID-19 but was still attending Extension 2 Mathematics classes via Zoom even if it meant being awake at 4.30am in the morning. This student attended without ever referencing the obvious time zone difference, nor looking for special recognition, just simply being grateful to continue to be part of the class.

This fine young man has truly modelled Ignatian values in his co-curricular activities which include Debating, Swimming and Water Polo; in his leadership role as House Captain, and most importantly, in the service of others. He has gladly given his time and talents to work for, and on behalf of, the marginalised in a range of Community Service activities. This includes working with the homeless, caring and supporting the elderly and teaching people with disabilities to learn to sail.

I am delighted to announce that Nicholas Leonard receives both the Shore School Centenary Prize for a Senior Student and the Prize for Outstanding Academic Achievement in 2020.

The Gordon Oxenham Memorial Prize for Year 12 Division Boarders: Samuel Phillip

This prestigious and historic prize is awarded to a faithfilled, respectful Year 12 Boarder who is a model to his peers. It is determined by the acclamation of peers who recognise authentic presence and genuine character in their voting.

Today’s recipient is a conscientious student who has applied himself diligently in all subject areas. His HSC results will reflect his efforts.

In the co-curricular sphere, he has participated widely and extremely competently. His activities have included a wide array of sports including Rowing, Water Polo and Rugby. Academically, he has always strived to do his best and has consistently been awarded certificates for his application to his studies over his years at Riverview.

Community building has become a specialty for him. His loyalty and affection for the College shine at all times and lead him to include everyone in activities. Within the Boarding House, his humour and balanced view of the world have been treasured by his companions. Staff have always been appreciative of his willingness to help out and engage with those young men who may be going through a tough time. He remains modest and acts with compassion. He is grateful for his friendships and this appreciation is certainly reciprocated.

He has served in many different contexts and settings, including serving lunch to the homeless at the Loaves and Fishes Café, visiting sick children at the Starlight Room at

Westmead Hospital and helping the elderly with technology at Lane Cove Library. He also participated in an Immersion to Borroloola where he gained a greater appreciation for issues facing First Nations Australians. He has always used his gifts and talents to help those in need.

In terms of his spirituality, his Head of House summarised his faith journey most articulately when she wrote: “His willingness to develop the spiritual dimension of his identity was evident in his participation in College retreats and reflection days and his contribution to running these events for the boys in the younger years. He has also been a Peer Mentor for younger members of the House.”

He has proven himself to be a highly flexible young man who consistently displayed an ability to relate to others in a sensitive and compassionate manner. He stood out as a role model among his peers from his earliest years at Riverview and was appointed as a House Captain for 2020 and also a College Proctor in the boarding community.

His calm demeanour diffuses tension and he models the best qualities of a Riverview man for his peers, a man of great conscience and compassion in his decisions and interactions with others. A man of commitment and competence across all spheres of his life, including academics, faith, sport and leadership.

The recipient of the Gordon Oxenham Prize for Senior Boarders in 2020 is Samuel Phillip from Singapore.

Outstanding Academic Achievement: Oliver Lenzner

The Prize for Outstanding Academic Achievement is awarded to a student whose academic achievement has not only been exceptional but has also seen this student act as a role model for other students via their persistent diligence and continual positive contribution to the classroom climate.

When asked to describe today’s recipient, the Head of English said that this student had exhibited a masterful control of language and that markers have frequently commented on the eloquence and the immense depth of understanding that this student manages to demonstrate in his responses. His assessment and examination responses have consistently been selected by the marking team as exemplary during both the Preliminary and HSC courses. His remarkable performance is best summarised by the fact that he managed to achieve 100% in the Year 11 Advanced English and 99% in the HSC Advanced English which translated into a final ranking of 1st in this course.

The Head of Economics Faculty noted that this student is always the first to notice an inconsistency between various theories and is constantly probing and asking questions to further develop his mental model of how economic concepts interact with one another. She indicated that

his constant questioning assists his peers around him by continually engaging them in an ongoing discussion about how new material connects to previous material that they have encountered. This level of insight and mastery has resulted in him achieving 1st place in Economics.

His Chemistry teacher reflected on the fact that this student has shown a thirst for understanding, endless initiative and an appetite for hard work which was evident from the first lesson in Year 11. He believes that this tenacity helped to bring several other students in this class with him in this slipstream and that they are all better off as a result. His Chemistry teacher suggests that being in the same class as this student was the best tutorial that any peer could ask for if they were interested in learning about how to learn from someone who modelled higher order thinking daily.

Today’s recipient completed his internal HSC assessment with the following rankings: 1st in Advanced English, 1st in Economics, 2nd in Mathematics Extension 2, 3rd in Mathematics Extension 1 and 3rd in Chemistry.

It is with great pleasure that we announce that today’s winner of the Prize for Outstanding Academic Achievement is Oliver Lenzner.

SENATOR MALARNDIRRI

MCCARTHY

Good morning, I’m Malarndirri McCarthy, the senator for the Northern Territory, I’m also a Yanyuwa woman from Borroloola in the Gulf of Carpentaria. And I have many, many fond memories of working with your school, Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview, over many years. I acknowledge how difficult this year has been, but as we come to the end of the year, we prepare for a time with our families, time to reflect on the year that was, but also to restore, regenerate and prepare for 2021.

When we do reflect on 2020, let’s think about the importance of having come together and worked together; the frustrations of that, the despair of that, sometimes the scariness of that. These are all important feelings. And for you, as students of Saint Ignatius’ College, I know that you and your families no doubt experienced many things, questioned many things, despaired at many things. But as we come to Christmas and we reflect and look at where we’re going, we can have hope.

Each of you might have your stories of how 2020 impacted you. What I wanted to do today was just give you a little bit of insight as to how 2020 impacted the Australian Parliament, impacted my speeches in the Senate representing the people of the Northern Territory - but indeed representing all Australians, because this was a year where we had to come together.

Below are some excerpts of the speeches that Senator McCarthy delivered in the Senate and shared with our community:

On 17th June 2020, Senator McCarthy read the names of the First Nations people killed in policy in cusody, in the Senate.

“I’d like to take the time that I have now to mention as many names as I can and pay our respects to those families who are still seeking justice for their loved ones and wanting to know what has happened. I start with 29th of March 2020, an unknown male, 30, arrested and taken to Horsham police station where his condition deteriorated. He was transported to hospital by ambulance where he later died. 21st of March this year, TC, female, 40, found dead in

her single cell at Brisbane Women’s Correctional Centre. 2nd of January this year, Ms Walker, 37, arrested for shoplifting on 31st of December 2019 and denied bail. She was remanded at the maximum security women’s prison, the Dame Phyllis Front Centre, and found dead three days later. 9th of November 2019, Mr Walker, 19, died after his shot at Yuendumu when two police officers went to his house to arrest him for breaches of his suspended sentence. These are the people that hundreds of thousands of Australians walked the streets for this week, last week and will no doubt continue to do so.

“We don’t know some of the others, a lot of the other names. But we certainly pay our respects to those families still seeking justice, equality and fairness in our country.”

12 February 2020, in response to the Prime Minister handing down the Closing the Gap report:

“But when I listen to the Prime Minister today speak, wanting again to find that hope and that way forward, I look at the Minister sitting beside him, Ken Wyatt, and I want to believe that when you say, Prime Minister, that you’re engaging with First Nations people. I want to believe that’s not just lip service, that when leaders like Pat Turner and others of the Aboriginal community controlled organisations in this country sit beside you, whether it’s at the cabinet table, whether it’s in a room in the Parliament, whether it’s out there beyond

the Parliament; when you say you’re engaging, then that has to follow through with the policies that you deliver in this Parliament.”

In response to Morrison Government’s refusal to display the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags in the Senate on Remembrance Day, 11 November, which also fell during NAIDOC Week 2020:

“This is the federal parliament, this is the parliament of the Australian people. And if there’s ever an opportunity to say, hey, maybe we need to reconsider this, then I think that would be an incredibly generous and gracious thing for this Senate to do.

People say it’s symbolism, but guess what? So was today. So is this beautiful poppy that I have above my heart. We don’t diss symbols, we can bring them together. We can have symbols, but we can have practical changes in institutions that can systemically change for the better for our country in a way that can unite us so much greater than even we could ever believe it can.”

I wish for each and every one of you to have a very safe and happy Christmas with your families. Appreciate your time together –family is everything, but so, too, is peace and goodwill and strength and resilience. I sincerely wish you all a very happy Christmas and a safe one. And let’s hope 2021 is the best year yet.

DIRECTOR OF BOARDING:

MR ADRIAN BYRNE

The boarders returned on the 28th January to what was a very dry College. I cannot remember the last time that the grounds looked so brown – a result of the drought that our rural and regional families have been dealing with for the last few years. 320 young men came together to live in a community and support each other, which is central to the fabric of Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview Boarding.

It was not long before the heavens opened across the state and green grass and pastures returned to not only the College, but for those across the state who needed it most. A bad storm hit the College in Term 1 and we had to send the boarders home for 48 hours as we had no power. We had not returned for long before COVID-19 became the new norm and once again we had to close our doors.

COVID-19 has had a huge effect on our Boarding community. We had to send all of our rural and regional boys home and our young men from overseas had to find accommodation with family in Sydney –not always with parents, as some were unable to get here due to the closing of international borders. I would especially like to acknowledge our overseas community who continue to do it tough, as some of our parents did not get to see their sons all year. I would also like to thank the Principal, Dr Paul Hine, who was adamant that as we are a boarding school, it was important that when we were able to re-open, that the boarders could all return at the same time after a period of online learning.

The boys came back in good spirits. Cocurricular came back and the community was adjusting to living with restrictions. Then, tragedy struck on the 5th September when George Dummer, one of our Year 9 boarders from Bowral, tragically passed away. We were blessed that George was with us for two years in boarding and whilst he struggled with homesickness at the start, he had turned a corner and had really settled in and loved the College. George passed away in the presence of his parents and two of his close mates in

Boarding. George and the Dummer family will always be a part of our community. I will miss his cheeky smile as he walked along the cloisters with his shirt half untucked.

As the year closed out, I must make a special mention of our Year 12 cohort. They, like the rest of us, have experienced a year like no other. Head of Divisions Gerard Carson and I are in awe of how they have taken every hurdle in their stride, not complained and just got on with making the best out of every experience. They have led the community from the front, built amazing spirit and camaraderie and will always be remembered as outstanding young men as the graduating class of 2020.

Finally, I thank the Heads of Division and the all of the Boarding staff for the amazing work that they do on a daily basis to look after the young men in our care. To the young men themselves, you have done yourselves proud by getting through the adversities of COVID-19 this year. Finally, and most importantly, to the parents and guardians, I say thank you for entrusting us to look after your sons and allowing us to help guide them on their journey. We realise that it is a huge sacrifice to hand your sons over into our care and we do not take it for granted.

Student Engagement

CO-ORDINATOR: MR PAUL ACHMAR

Hot Potato Shop Team 2020: Mr Paul Achmar, Edward Graham, Austin Martin-Weber, William Nuthall, Ned O’Rourke, Adrian Schembri, Charles Stretch, Lorenzo Tamburrino, Lachlan Wilcox

The Hot Potato Shop program serves a very important role in Riverview. It provides opportunities to engage our boys and staff in challenging their perceptions and exposure to a variety of important people in our community.

Sadly, 2020 saw the program significantly restricted due to COVID-19, and we were only able to invite one special guest early in the year. This guest, however, was one worthy of the Hot Potato Shop.

Ben Fordham (OR1994) shared stories of his journalism endeavours, the path he took to enter this profession and the expectations placed on him to bring news and information to the Australian public. He also challenged our boys to embrace every challenge and enter into the unknown with an openness and willingness to grow and learn.

We look forward to resuming the Hot Potato Shop in due course, endeavouring to invite our young men and our staff to open their minds and hearts on their own quest for learning and growth. AMDG

Teaching and Learning Report

DEPUTY PRINCIPAL TEACHING AND LEARNING:

MR RUSSELL NEWMAN

It was a year full of promise with some grand plans to address key targets in Teaching and Learning. But before the first term had concluded, our plans for taking big steps forward seemed to have been thwarted… or were they?

March 2020 brought with it some of the most challenging circumstances that schools in this country have faced for many decades. The rapid changes in our whole world as a result of COVID-19 left us all uncertain about many things. At the College, one of our greatest concerns was that our traditional methods of teaching, although very successful during more predictable times, would not stand up

to a paradigm where the physical classrooms were shut down.

But we were lucky. We’d had the opportunity to start thinking through our options right at the start of the academic year when the power failed across the whole site and we needed to send students home temporarily. That shut down is what prompted our staff to start developing alternatives, just in case that situation reoccurred. And it obviously did.

So, our plans for developing teaching and learning and moving into innovative areas wasn’t thwarted by COVID-19. In fact, the pandemic provided teachers as well as students with the stimulus to be creative and to find ways around the challenges. Our ‘Virtual Timetable Mode’ was born and teachers embraced the new world of Zoom for education.

Even after schools returned to on-site learning, we had many students who needed the support of the dual platform. To this day, we are finding new and innovative ways to use our Zoom technologies to maintain

the engagement of remote, sick or injured students.

As an organisation we have also learnt a great deal about how to enhance those things that really matter to us as a community and to re-prioritise those things which are less important to serving our Mission. COVID-19 taught us all to strip back the layers we have held onto and to focus on the things which are critical to our human existence: family, faith, friendship, communication and a desire to be in real relationship with each other and sometimes in the same room.

To that end, I congratulate the staff of the College and their outstanding work with the graduates of 2020 and I thank them for their tireless efforts and unending support and care of our students.

We are excited to be on the edge of 2021 and we have plans to enhance many aspects of our College-wide practice. Teaching and Learning at Riverview is progressing with infinite arms, especially in times when it appears we are most challenged.

Faculties

Drama

HEAD OF DRAMA:

MS LOUISE ARNOTT

The Drama Faculty embraced the challenges of 2020 and despite the void of theatre globally, Drama at Riverview continued to thrive. This year forced us to re-think our Drama programming as we devised creative solutions to teach the physicality of performance on a two-dimensional screen. During lockdown we created new units of Drama work teaching acting to camera, producing radio plays, performing monologues on screen, livestreaming showcases and even managing to lead Drama games as students improvised using props and costumes from home. When we finally returned to the College, we returned with a greater vocabulary of performance skills and relished our return to the stage with even greater passion!

Every week our Drama theatre and studios were filled at lunch and after school with enthusiastic Drama students busily rehearsing for class performance tasks, showcases or cocurricular productions. We continue to foster our connections with the professional theatre world and are in debt to many Old Boys currently working in theatre who generously give their time to conduct workshops in specialised skills for all our Drama Classes. Year 10 Drama students gained invaluable techniques in clowning and comedy with professional clowning teacher from NIDA, Mr Guillaume Barriere. The Year 12 Drama classes were led through a series of practical classes with Russell Cheek from the Lecoq Acting School in Paris. Russell led the boys through the specialised physical acting skills of Lecoq, one of the key topic areas in their HSC Drama studies this year.

We continued to keep theatre alive at Riverview, despite the closure of professional theatres in NSW, and in Term 4, Year 11 Drama students were privileged to view the Buzo theatre production of their Year 12 Drama HSC text Norm and Ahmed, by Alex Buzo, in our own Drama Room starring Old Boy Laurence Coy (OR1977). Our year concluded with a selection of Year 9, 10, and 11 exemplary Drama students performing in our annual Elective Drama Showcase. This year we livestreamed our matinee performance

in the O’Kelly Theatre, beginning with our Year 9 Drama students demonstrating their skills in mime, movement and script work. Audiences were then treated to some wonderful moments of physical theatre from Year 10 students who showcased acrobatic and movement skills learnt in class that were then applied to poetic text. The showcase concluded with some of the more sophisticated Year 11 Drama script work with scenes from the Italian farce Accidental Death of an Anarchist and the absurdist play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett.

At the end of the year, the Drama Department was overwhelmed with the outstanding results of the 2020 Year 12 HSC Drama students. This exceptional cohort received the largest number of Individual Performance OnSTAGE nominations in the history of the College – two thirds of the cohort received nominations for outstanding performance work in their HSC NESA Performance Exam. The cohort also received the largest number of Band 6 results in Drama in Riverview’s history with almost half the students in Drama receiving a Band 6, placing them well above the state average and amongst the list of the top achieving subjects in the College. This is a wonderful reflection of the outstanding

performance work from the 2020 Year 12 Drama students, seen in their HSC Drama showcase in August at the College. The students and Drama staff are absolutely thrilled.

Whilst the Arts have faced great challenges this year, there remains so much to celebrate in Drama this year. We are always so grateful at the College to be blessed with such richness of talent and enthusiasm for performing on stage at Riverview. The Drama Department is looking forward to another exciting year ahead in 2021.

Economics, Business Studies, Legal Studies and Commerce

HEAD OF FACULTY: MS SUZANNE SILK

Overview

2020 was quite a year for the Economics, Business Studies, Legal Studies and Commerce team. It was complex, busy, exciting, unusual and different. Overnight, like everyone else, we had to be innovative and creative in our teaching strategies and deliver online the high standards we expect from ourselves as a team. Luckily, our major cohorts – Years 11 and 12 – were not online for long, and once Year 9 and Year 10 returned, we appreciated the opportunity to reflect on our teaching practice and deliver what we know works best for our students with new enthusiasm and appreciation.

Our HSC results were outstanding in 2020, with Jake Goodrich achieving 2nd in the State in Business Studies – which is incredible when you think there are 18,000 students sitting this subject. Over 82% of our Economics students achieved a Band 5 or 6 result, 75% achieved a Band 5 or 6 in Business Studies and over 50% of the Legal Studies cohort achieved Band 6. Well done to all the dedicated faculty teachers – Mr Stephen Croker, Mr Andrew McGovern, Mr Matt Parsons, Mr James Busteed, Mr Josh Allen, Mr George Sacco, Mr Adrian Byrne, Mr Lloyd Walker, Ms Tessa Nelmes and Ms Harriet Symons.

Economics

The outgoing US president continued to provide an excellent discussion point for our global economy topic and of course with COVID-19 the economic discussions were very up to date. The students looked into the impact the lockdowns had on various world organisations and the fallout from this on trade agreements. The students also examined the economy of Brazil in detail and the impact of various decisions by governments around the world on the environment. The students spent some time understanding the impact of COVID-19 from a policy response perspective

and analysed the delayed 2020 budget in a two hour seminar in the week before the final HSC exam – talk about committed students! The 180 young men across the preliminary and HSC course engaged in various online tasks and it was certainly a fantastic time to be studying Economics.

Business Studies

Business Studies was also a great class to be in in 2020 with so many real-life businesses discussed and analysed throughout the year. With seven classes in both Year 11 and 12, the 280 students were provided with fantastic examples of how businesses operate and respond to external influences on a daily basis, and there was many a heated debate about the way various businesses responded to COVID-19. The Year 11 students focused on small businesses whilst Year 12 studied large multinationals and examined operations, marketing, finance and human relations in detail. We continued to use the HSC data to determine areas for improvement with our students and we focused on formative assessments to practice short answers.

Legal Studies

Legal Studies continues to be a popular new subject for our students with the three major topics – the criminal justice system, family law and world order – examined through interesting and sometimes very unusual case studies. Students used media files to gather evidence to support their arguments and there was never a dull moment in these classes.

Commerce

Many of the achievements outlined above stem from a love of learning established in Year 9 and 10 Commerce. In Year 9, the students

were the first to experience the new syllabus and they covered political parties and their impact on making and changing laws. The students spent time researching the reasons for new laws, their political impact and made judgements on their effectiveness. They also spent time on consumer and financial decisions and had a lot of fun with the Shark Tank Task where they had to be innovative and come up with new businesses which they had to then sell to the Sharks (the teachers). They finished the year with an investment report on a unique portfolio of shares, metals and foreign currencies – and they had a lot to write about given the state of the investment market during the COVID-19 year of 2020. In Year 10, the students completed a unit on the law in action, examined closely the issues around employment and work futures and learnt about the operations of our economy. The students really enjoyed relating what they were learning to the interesting year they lived through.

Concluding remarks

We are always proud of the achievements of all students who cross our paths in our faculty. This is a faculty that debates daily current issues in the economy and the current business and legal world. Our love of these commercial subjects really inspires and motivates the students, and it’s a privilege to work alongside the broad group of learners who study with us.

We farewell Ms Harriet Symons who leaves us to take up further study in inclusive education, and we also farewell Mr Josh Allen who is taking up a promotional position at a nearby girls’ school. We wish them both the very best.

HEAD OF FACULTY: MR DANIEL KENT

“Hope” is the thing with feathersThat perches in the soulAnd sings the tune without the wordsAnd never stops …

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - Emily Dickinson

It has quickly become a cliché to point out the multifarious ways 2020 has changed and tested our society. Within all of the challenges, changes and heartbreak, the capacity to hope, adapt and move forward with resolve has shone through as a core feature of our school and the English Faculty.

Our 2020 HSC English results demonstrated the same excellence achieved in 2019 and surpassed even those stellar results. English Studies achieved 25% above the state average. Our Standard English and Advanced English cohorts also continued to achieve results far beyond the state average, with 90% of our Advanced English students achieving a Band 5 or 6, including 36% Band 6. In Extension English 1, 88% of students achieved an E4 (Band 6 equivalent) and Joe Ruddick ranked 2nd in NSW for this subject. Our Extension 2 cohort also achieved outstanding results, with 100% achieving an E4 (Band 6 equivalent). We

thank the HSC teachers and the entire faculty for the additional time and effort spent with their students this year, assisting them to stay calm and focused on their studies, despite the uncertainty of the year.

Several new teaching and learning programs were implemented this year to build some of the skills and knowledge required by English students in the context of the new HSC. While the English Faculty always aspire to plan content that is contextually relevant, few could have predicted how closely two of the new courses in Stage 5 would align with the matters of world affairs. This year’s rapid news cycle, political events and some dubious reporting on COVID-19 provided rich fodder for the Year 10’s ‘Question Everything’ program, which asked students to identify logical fallacies and develop the skills to read and think critically.

This year’s Black Lives Matter protests provided the backdrop for the Year 9 cohort to study the speeches and literature of ‘Riots and Revolutions’ throughout history. During this course, students were reminded of the Jesuit values of social justice and advocating for the marginalised, which pleasingly many reflected in their speeches for the final assessment as they advocated for a better world.

Behind all of these learning opportunities was the work of the wonderful team of English teachers at Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview. For many years this team has demonstrated their dedication, professionalism and passion for the teaching profession. Even so, this year the team excelled themselves by channelling a tremendous amount of energy, ingenuity and

skill into developing resources and teaching practices that would see students maintain a strong trajectory of learning throughout the challenges of remote learning.

During this difficult year there were moments of great joy. The faculty was buoyed to share in the news of the arrival of Debra and Paul William’s daughter, Hannah; Erin Johnson’s son, Finn; Justine Murray’s son, Louis and Claire Burke’s son Joe.

Following maternity leave, Justine Murray resigned from the College to return to her hometown of Melbourne. Justine has been at Riverview for five years and in that time has contributed a deep understanding of literacy education to the faculty as well as bringing a spirit of generosity and humour to the team. Her professionalism and friendship will be greatly missed. We thank and farewell Ms Richards who joined us at the beginning of 2020. Ms Richards has been meticulous in her planning and development of resources and the students in her classes have greatly benefited from this.

Finally, with some sadness, I too am saying goodbye to Riverview to join St Edwards’ College. I feel incredibly blessed to have been involved into this wonderful community for the past eight years. Thank you to the student body for all of the lessons you’ve taught me, thank you to the parents for supporting your sons on their educational journey and finally a big thank you to my colleagues for your friendship and for teaching me so much about the education profession.

Geography

HEAD OF FACULTY: MR REX COOKE

A Unique Geographical Perspective

Throughout this year we were challenged to reinvent and reconfigure what we did with our students to meet the ever-changing environments that occurred throughout the year. 2020 started with great excitement about what we had planned for the Geography students this year, however there were many challenges that tested the faculty and the students.

We started the year by taking the Year 11 students on an excursion to Narrabeen and Collaroy to show them how biophysical interactions occur within the coastal environment. They looked at how longshore drift creates issues at the mouth of Narrabeen lagoon and how aeolian processes shaped and transform the coastal environment.

As part of the Landscapes and Landforms topic in Year 8 Geography, we took the students up to the Blue Mountains to explore the way that mountains are formed, and how they are managed in regard to the human interactions that occur as a result of tourism

and suburban development around the area. Despite the thick fog which greeted us, unfortunately obscuring the amazing views from Echo Point out into the deep valleys of the Blue Mountains, the students coped with the tough conditions to spend an enjoyable day exploring the World Heritage area.

In Year 9 Global Studies, the students study a topic on Oceanography and part of the topic involves conducting fieldwork, which this year involved a sea urchin study at Balmoral and Chowder Bay. This excursion had to be postponed twice – the first time due to lockdown, and the second due to a strong cold front bringing on very cold and wet

conditions. However, we were finally able to reschedule in Term 4, allowing the students to snorkel out into the areas of Balmoral and Chowder Bay to identify the numbers of sea urchins in the area, and then identify factors that would impact on their populations in those areas.

I would like to thank the Geography faculty for their support and hard work throughout the year; the team of Ms Cassie Crompton, Ms Sarah Cullen, Ms Dominique Marturia, Mr Peter Steffan and Mr Michael Webb have worked tirelessly throughout the year to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of Geography to the Riverview students. Throughout the challenges we faced this year, the faculty worked together to ensure all our requirements were met and the students received the best learning available, which is a credit to them.

History

HEAD OF FACULTY:

MS JO KEELING-LOWE

I would like to thank the History faculty staff for their passion, dedication, and professionalism throughout an interrupted year in ensuring that our students’ needs were consistently met. Throughout 2020 the faculty continued to refine and deliver a diverse and pedagogically rich History curriculum, which was adjusted and adapted to counteract the effects of COVID-19 and the needs of our new cohorts.

Year 7 students were fortunate to visit the Archives early in Term 1. As usual, our boys were fascinated by learning how their predecessors would have spent a typical school day, and they were able to appreciate first-hand that documenting the past is something that we do for the sake of the future. The incursion from Macquarie University Museum of Ancient Cultures also provided an excellent learning opportunity for our boys to engage with a variety of Egyptian, Roman and Greek antiquities.

Year 8 studied a new unit looking at Crime and Punishment over the ages, and they tended to agree that they were extremely fortunate to have been born this century – especially after they ranked the most gruesome forms of punishment in the medieval period! The students were informed and mature enough to discuss the implication of capital punishment and reasons why some countries felt the need to enforce this in their legal system today.

The lockdown of our campus did not prohibit the Year 9 boys from learning about Australia’s involvement in WWI. Mr James Rodgers visited many History classes and spoke about the 310 Old Ignatians who enlisted for the Great War, including the 60 who made the ultimate sacrifice of their lives. A learning walk to the Memorial Hall and Dalton Chapel helped develop the students’ historical empathy skills, and we are incredibly fortunate to have such a richly documented past available on site for our students.

Year 10 students studied a confronting topic on the Holocaust and human rights which shows that genocide is an issue that continues to affect many societies today. By teaching

this difficult content, the History faculty believes that it helps act as an antidote to the poison diffused by extremism today. In an increasingly connected world, it is vital that we teach our students to challenge and question how and why horrific events occur. In this year, the Black Lives Matter movement and the death of George Floyd reminded us of the ugly nature of racism and prejudice, and our students were challenged to confront myths about the past and to recognise the relationship between our understanding of history and present injustices in their world. The students were encouraged to think like historians, to be capable of distinguishing between truth and lies, and to be aware of the fundamental role they as individuals will play in our democratic process.

Despite the challenges brought about by COVID-19, the new technology allowed for some unique opportunities for Year 12 Aboriginal Studies students to engage with different members of the community. Students were fortunate to have a conversation with Professor John Maynard from the University of Newcastle, and to hear his insights into the shared experiences of colonisation on Aboriginal peoples and the Oglala Lakota Sioux of South Dakota. They also had the opportunity to gain local knowledge about the health of the community of Moree through a virtual conversation with Rod Tighe.

The close of 2020 has resulted in loss to our faculty as we farewelled several key staff. David Posker-Hill has been pivotal in the development of historiographical thinking and played a significant role in creating and maintaining a collegial faculty over the past seven years; we wish him all the best as he takes on the position of Head of History and Religious Education at MLC School.

Michael Turner has underpinned an atmosphere of academic excellence in his 20 years at the College; a passionate Historian, thousands of students at Riverview have been enthralled by his enthusiastic portrayal of the past, and in particular his ancient coin collection. Gus Masters, it is incredibly difficult to sum up his contribution to Riverview over the past 16 years. As previous Head of Faculty, Director of Boarding, and more recently in his role in the Ignatian Centre and with Staff Formation, Gus has made an invaluable contribution to not only thousands of boys’ education, but hundreds of staff members’ professional development too. Gus epitomises the very purpose of a quality education: not to fill the minds of students with facts, but to teach them to think for themselves. We wish Gus all the best as he embarks on the next stage of his career at Marist College, Canberra.

Languages

HEAD OF FACULTY:

MRS LOUELLA PERRETT

The 2020 HSC results were most impressive, with our students gaining a record number of state places. Nicholas Leonard was ranked first in Chinese Extension and second in Continuers. Matthew O’Dea was first in Chinese Continuers and fifth in Extension. Alexander Hoffman came third in Chinese Continuers and second in Extension. Alexander Peters was ranked third in both Classical Greek Continuers and Extension. Alexander’s achievements were recognised by the Classical Languages Teachers’ Association with certificates of outstanding achievement.

Significant placings were also gained by our students in the Classical Languages Teachers’ Association Year 9 Latin Reading Competition. Students submitted recitation entries online. Luca Maher delivered a forceful and passionate speech of Cicero, attaining second place in the prose category. Matias Danziger came third in the verse category with his spine-tingling rendition of Virgil’s description of personified Rumour The judges commented on the high level of technical accuracy of our two students.

COVID and the virtual timetable mode provided a unique challenge to language teachers. How do you teach a subject that is all about communication and interaction through the restrictions of social distancing and online learning? Our staff rose to the challenge with vigour and embarked on a professional development journey of significant proportions, determined to replicate online the vibrancy of the classroom experience. Apart from Zoom, we exploited all the communication possibilities of Canvas, course companion websites and Education Perfect. The discussion forums and online quizzes were particularly popular. Collaborative tasks went ahead through shared Google documents and Zoom breakout rooms. Students appreciated having more material on Canvas which they could revisit at their own pace, and the clear sense of direction from the lesson plans on class pages. There were also moments of humour to lighten the intensity of online work. Mrs Sandra Kelly will not forget how her students

tricked her by hiding their identity behind avatars, while the Year 12 Latin students held a Zoom Virgil party, complete with costumes, to celebrate finishing their set text.

The Faculty is proud of its innovation, flexibility and achievements in a difficult year. Even more heartening, however, is the degree to which we were successful in instilling a love of languages, as these testimonials from our students make abundantly clear:

“Why I enjoy Italian: I am able to do it with friends; I am able to see the practical advantages of learning a language when I speak to Italian friends and family. All the activities we do are enjoyable: listening, speaking, reading and writing.”

“Every year that I have studied French it has become more and more enjoyable as I have become able to speak with more confidence and properly interact in French.”

“There are many things I have liked about Chinese. Languages have a different feel to them compared to other senior subjects. I have very much enjoyed the culture and atmosphere in my senior class. In doing Chinese you are investing time in a skill. The writing also challenges you and it is interesting to see just how capable you are.”

“Latin: a truly amazing language that has further enhanced my understanding of grammar (especially in English) and ancient Roman society. Virgil rocks!”

“My experiences with Euripides and Thucydides have been truly rewarding, filling me with pleasure every time I translate or read a new section.”

“Learning a second language was a very rewarding choice as when you are in Year 12 it becomes easy to hold a proper conversation and actually understand the language at a more complex level.”

And in summary… “It is a cool skill to have a second language.”

Learning Enrichment

HEAD OF FACULTY:

MR DOMINIC WILKINSON

2020 has seen the team continue to focus on building an inclusive teaching and learning culture across the College despite the significant challenges to the learning context. The team has furthered our work on embedding curriculum adjustments into teaching to increase student access and meet our obligations under the Nationally Consistent Collection of Disability Data (NCCD). The Learning Enrichment team has also spent time working to support the new Learning by Refraction teaching and learning framework being designed across the College. This is underpinned in many ways by the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm of context, competence and compassion, which sits at the heart of the team’s practice.

With an overarching commitment to diversity, the team has worked hard to create a learning culture that promotes the development of personal bests and a commitment to high expectations for all learners. Specific work on developing students’ learning autonomy has been integral to increasing student engagement and curriculum access. We feel there is great growth to be had when one walks out of their comfort zone with the appropriate levels of

support. This is a particularly effective and collegial team, and one that I am increasingly proud of. Their dedicated and professional support for both students and teachers makes an enormous difference to the students as they meet the demands of the respective stage curricula. The Learning Enrichment team act as conduits to all areas of the College and their work is incredibly important for building capacity for learning for all students who access this support.

Special mention must go to the Learning Enrichment team as a whole this year. The dedicated support provided by Jane Crouch and Kerry Dean at Regis has ensured that students are able to develop skills, confidence and knowledge for the start of their learning journeys at the College. This is built upon in the senior school with support offered across Years 7 to 12 by George Cassar, Kate Hilyard, Rhian Lovell, Elin Michelsons, Paul Bevis, Stefan Pulpitel, Erin Johnson, Peter McLean and Danielle Affleck, who have continued to support the curriculum engagement and subsequently the self-belief of students with additional learning needs.

More specifically, 2020 has seen the continuation of the AISNSW First Nations project aimed at supporting the outcomes of the Indigenous cohort at the College. This saw the College act as a hub school for Loreto, Knox Grammar and Barker College, and it has been a great success on which to build. The collaborative nature of this project and the multi-disciplinary frameworks of support

which have been developed from it have set a benchmark for individualised support and transition processes for Indigenous students entering the College.

The Faculty for Learning Enrichment also continues to provide support for students requiring Disability Provisions for the Higher School Certificate, which had its highest number of students accessing on record. Paul Bevis, Kim Prodinger and, during term 4, Peter Mclean and Erin Johnson, have managed this process brilliantly.

The demands on the Faculty for Learning Enrichment continue to grow year on year, and this year has seen that come to the fore more than any before it. The team has met these challenges with open arms and continues to show inspiring commitment to inclusive education and professional development in their support for students with additional learning needs and the staff educating them. In short, the team demonstrates the concept of cura personalis that sits at the heart of the College.

I would like to thank each member of the Faculty for your dedicated work during this incredibly challenging year; you continue to make a significant impact on student learning outcomes and the broader culture of inclusivity across the College.

Mathematics

HEAD OF FACULTY:

MR GLENN ABRAHAMS

‘Resilience and Adaptability’ has been the motto of the Mathematics Faculty in 2020.

The quick transition into Virtual Learning Mode (VLM) during Term 1 required staff to review their professional practice and change their traditional teaching strategies. Other areas where the Mathematics Faculty have developed in 2020 have been remote Parent Teacher Interviews, student feedback webinars and lesson observations via the new Zoom-enabled classrooms.

Due to the Virtual Learning Mode (VLM), the College Executive presented research findings exploring the merits of both synchronous and asynchronous learning. From these, Mathematics staff were able to use the College online learning management system (CANVAS) to encourage students with asynchronous learning to become more self-directed. Pre-recorded videos and clearly assigned tasks using key textbook questions, worksheets, www.mathspace.com.au or www.mathsonline.com.au gave students time to explore their understanding of topics.

Synchronous learning via the Zoom platform allowed remote face to face contact with classes where both teachers and students were able to enjoy the social nature of learning. It generally increased motivation and accountability of students to be present and participating in the learning process.

Teachers were able to provide instructional depth, differentiation and instantaneous feedback tailored to specific student questions.

A typical Mathematics lesson via synchronous learning might look like the following:

⁄ Lesson planning on the College online learning management system (CANVAS)

⁄ Zoom lesson link

⁄ Warm up questions on entry

⁄ Videos or explicit teaching using Microsoft One Note / PowerPoint / Google Slides etc.

⁄ Student activities (textbook questions, worksheets, www.mathspace.com.au or www.mathsonline.com.au)

⁄ Exit tickets to demonstrate understanding

In terms of student activities, a typical Year 7 / 8 student might encounter an array of the following ideas from their Mathematics teacher:

⁄ Videos

⁄ Drag and drops

⁄ Worked examples

⁄ Spreadsheets

⁄ GeoGebra

⁄ Investigations

⁄ Interactives

⁄ Questions

⁄ Challenge worksheets

⁄ Foundation worksheets

Another initiative to engage with our parents via Zoom were Parent Teacher Interviews. Here, many Mathematics teaching staff used mail merge to provide detailed individual results analysis. Staff were able to reflect on each student’s context using their learning support profiles and classroom experiences.

After reviewing these data sets and the faculty scatter chart results, teachers were then able to provide parents with a visual representation of their son’s position, relative to their class and the cohort.

As part of each teacher’s professional development, I have been fortunate to observe lessons from Maths faculty members. Teachers have continued to engage with student data to inform their teaching practice. Using Zoom lesson recordings, I have provided feedback to individual teachers on their classroom teaching strategies across a range of topics:

⁄ Substitution in algebra

⁄ Scale drawing using ratios

⁄ Point of intersection of straight lines

⁄ Co-ordinating geometry review (distance, mid-point, gradient)

⁄ Exterior angle sum of polygons via GeoGebra

⁄ Vectors

⁄ Projectile motion using vectors

The Mathematics Faculty welcomed impressive news from the 2020 Higher School Certificate (HSC) results, recording an impressive tally of 121 [ E4 / Band 6 ] examination results. This is the highest number of distinguished achievers in Mathematics in the last 20 years, driven by phenomenal results in the Advanced, Extension 1 and Extension 2 courses.

The program for gifted and talented students continues to operate under the administration of Mr Daniel Hyde, where students engage in formal competition via the Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC). The summary of results in 2020 included the award of a High Distinction to Charlie Henry, 37 Distinctions and 128 Credits. The College has supported structures where selected students in Years 7 and 8 are part of Mathematics Enrichment groups; Mr Robert Maxwell and Mrs Kathy Mullan have led the Year 7 and 8 Mathematics young men through problem solving activities.

I would like to commend the efforts of the entire Mathematics staff for their commitment to preparation, pedagogy, assessment and reporting in 2020. They are a dedicated, inspiring group of teachers who are not just committed to classroom teaching but to the Ignatian ethos of the College through their extra involvement in boarding, the House system and co-curriculum pursuits.

Music

HEAD OF FACULTY:

MR PETER WATTERS

Dedication, commitment, resilience and focus. These are just a few words that sum up our year in the Riverview Music Faculty. Despite the cancellation of our major events, including Riverview in Concert, The Chapel Concert and our junior musical Madagascar, the Music Faculty continued to work to give the students a well-rounded musical education with innovative and creative Zoom lessons and eventually face to face learning.

The Private Tuition program continued throughout the year, initially using Google Drive and then Zoom to remotely deliver quality individual and group lessons. I would like to thank our tutors for their flexibility and commitment to this program. With assembly performances not being possible this year, a new initiative was implemented. ‘Performance of the Week’ has allowed us to recognise talented solo and group performances which were disseminated through Viewpoint to our community. This was very well received and we hope to continue this into the future. Below are some short reports to briefly outline the Riverview Music faculty learning experiences for 2020.

In Year 7 Music, students began the course studying the topic ‘Duration’, learning about rhythm, tempo and dynamics. This topic is particularly hands-on, and students spent a lot of time playing percussion instruments, as well as writing compositions for percussion. In the second topic, ‘Pitch’, students learn to read, perform and compose using notes, with a focus on performing on keyboard. Students learn to recognise the common instruments of the orchestra through a number of listening and composing activities.

In Year 8 Music, students continued to build on the foundation of music theory laid down in Year 7 and applied this knowledge in a range of composition tasks using Musescore composition software. These composition tasks required students to build chords, add bass and drum lines and simple melodies. For the Performance component of the course, every Year 8 student was given the opportunity to learn how to play simple

melodies and chords on the guitar, providing short performance videos for assessment at the end of each semester.

Year 9 Elective Music students began the year listening to and studying the scores of the great masterpieces of the Baroque and Classical periods and learning how they form the basis of modern music. In Semester 2, students were given popular Australian songs to arrange so that in Term 3, which focused on Popular Music, they were ready to set their own lyrics to music using the theory and compositional techniques they had learned. Year 9 students rose to this challenge, producing an array of well-crafted pop songs, each uniquely expressive; with some worthy of standing alongside the current iTunes Top 100!

The Year 10 music course commenced with 19th century music, where the students studied some of the Romantic period’s greatest composers. Term 2 brought on a very different pace, with the swung rhythms of Jazz. In this unit, the students learnt about the origins of jazz – the blues – and how it developed into the jazz fusion styles of today. The program concluded with the study of Small Ensembles. This unit covered a wide range of various styles, including music from some of Bach’s most famous string quartets right through to Chris Martin’s Coldplay.

Year 11 Music 1 started their senior studies in a positive manner, studying the areas of Performance, Composition, Musicology and Aural through a range of topics. They have set a strong foundation for the HSC Music course.

Year 11 Music 2 studied their mandatory topic, Music 1600 – 1900, covering the early Baroque music of Bach and Vivaldi, the Classical music of Mozart and Beethoven, through to the Romantic works of Wagner and Chopin. They also studied their additional topic of Renaissance Music, studying the early development of notation, harmony and the orchestra, as well as performing and composing in the style of Renaissance composers such as John Dowland.

The Year 12 Music 1 class proved their resilience and adaptability this year when the COVID-19 regulations saw the HSC Practical Examination allow students to be accompanied by a backing track or a track with another featured performer, rather than the usual full band. Each student presented a performance program of four pieces representing a variety of topics. The students also had the opportunity to record

a professional video of their performances, many of which were used for our graduation events in Valete Week. Congratulations to our two Encore Nominees for Music 1: Charlie Hunter (Marimba) and Fergus Collins (Guitar).

Music of the Last 25 years has been the topic of focus for Year 12 Music 2 for most of the course. Students studied pieces by modern Australian composers Ross Edwards, Peter Sculthorpe and Elena Kats-Chernin. Each student performed their HSC repertoire at a high standard. Many of these performances were recorded and featured at assemblies and events this year. Throughout the year, students worked on their core HSC composition, as well as developing their skills in sight singing, melodic dictation and score analysis. Year 12 also studied the additional topic of 1900 - 1945, where we analysed some of the more bizarre works by Stravinsky and Messiaen.

Three students chose Elective Performance for Music Extension this year. Normally students would be required to present three pieces, however due to COVID restrictions, the group ensemble performance was cancelled. Students had to perform two contrasting pieces for a maximum total of 15

minutes and were able to be accompanied by a backing track or a track with another featured performer. Each of our students, Thomas Hatzidis (Drum kit), Lachlan Healey (Piano) and Christopher Peters (French horn) prepared a challenging and well-polished performance program. Congratulations to Thomas Hatzidis, who was nominated for Encore for his outstanding work.

I would like to end this report by expressing my heartfelt thanks to the staff and students. Whether through face to face teaching in class or learning remotely at home, our students have worked hard to develop their skills and produce quality work. It is because of your positive attitude and dedication that Music continues to grow, despite the challenges faced. Our music students are blessed to have the opportunity to learn from experienced and dedicated music educators. Auditions are underway for the next musical, our ensembles are back at socially distanced rehearsals, and we are hopeful that our students will be able to once again experience music through working together to produce top quality live performances throughout 2021.

PDHPE

HEAD OF FACULTY: MR PETER KOVACS

What an interesting year 2020 turned out to be. COVID-19 produced a range of difficulties but also opportunities. Programs needed to be adjusted for off-site learning and also for when the students returned and social distancing requirements were put in place. There was also the ongoing development of programs around the new syllabus in Years 7 through 10.

The PDHPE faculty has continued to provide wide-ranging units that provide opportunities to develop knowledge, understanding of important health and physical activity concepts and skills in critical thinking. All things associated with COVID-19 allowed examination of epidemiology, health practices and how to continue activity under different conditions in a variety of environments. Our primary role was to ensure that the boys were actively engaged in healthy practices as these apply directly to their wellbeing, especially in a year like we have experienced.

The variety of activities that were presented to the boys both while they were working off-site provided some great learning experiences that students can take with them throughout life. The practical component of the subject required thought in order to encourage and engage the boys while they were at home. A weekly set of personal challenges was constructed whereby a Google slide presentation was sent out for the boys

to complete some, or all, of the challenges and record their efforts through videos of themselves completing the activities, thoroughly engaging the boys in doing activity. They also received a physical activity log which contained a variety of activities that they could easily complete at and around home to help ensure that the practical component of the subject, covering many aspects of wellbeing, was maintained. It also demonstrated the importance of a variety of activities to maintain health and wellbeing at all times and the ways in which this can be achieved.

Under the changed circumstances upon our return to school environment there were some great things happening to engage the students. A variety of activities helped develop our students into resilient young men, conscious of their own and others all round health leading to some great learning experiences that students can take with them throughout life. In theoretical units examining making good choices across a wide spectrum of life experiences has provided many opportunities for developing the students’ skills in critical and creative thinking with the aim of deepening their knowledge and understanding of many key concepts. Practical units developed a variety of skills that can benefit others as well as themselves. Skills such as performing CPR and planning and implementing fitness programs were a highlight.

We continue to focus on how to get the best from our boys who have a wealth of knowledge drawn from experience but can struggle at times to get this down on paper in response to a single question. Of great benefit are the PDHPE tutorials and use of an

online study program which demonstrates that the extra effort pays great rewards and hopefully encourages future years to take on the challenge.

The Year 12 cohort achieved outstanding results in the HSC with Alex Noble placing 3rd in the State (a great achievement in a subject with 16,500 candidates), 15 boys achieving Band 6 results and nearly 60% of the cohort achieving Band 5 or 6 results. The success of the PDHPE cohort is further highlighted by the number of students whose PDHPE result contributed significantly to an ATAR result above 90 and were honoured at the Laureate Assembly. Well-deserved congratulations go to the 2020 PDHPE candidates for these outstanding results achieved through committed effort and dedicated study methods.

This has been a challenging year in many ways and the PDHPE staff have embraced many initiatives and the faculty continues to move forward.

MS ANTOINETTE YARAK

“We are only truly grateful people when we can say thank you to all that has brought us to the present moment.”

- Henri Nouwen

At the end of a challenging year, we are inspired to recall the joyful moments of companionship and learning. These have become our source for proceeding while embracing the effects of all the adverse and sad events which marked 2020.

Throughout the year, the teachers of Religious Education have been committed to the task of implementing creative ways of helping students travel through their process of learning and meaning-making while engaging in the core curriculum and attempting to make sense of the unexpected events which occurred. In doing so, together, we discerned to recognise the blessings received from the goodness of our loving God. For the grace to endure the year, we are deeply grateful.

The HSC results of our 2020 Year 12 students reflected a depth of learning and discernment amongst our graduating cohort that has warmed the hearts of our faculty staff. In Studies of Religion I, Tom Sheridan came 2nd in the State out of 8155 students, while 53% of our 117 students attained a Band 5 or 6. In Studies of Religion II, 47% of 73 students attained a Band 5 or 6. We are proud of our students’ achievements and congratulate them all and wish them the best in their journey beyond high school.In 2020, the faculty welcomed Christian Iligan and farewelled Mark Story. We are grateful for Mark’s passionate commitment to our

mission in Religious Education over the years. Both in the classroom and amongst colleagues, Mark’s valuable contribution will continue to develop the religious awareness of our boys and help shape our teaching and learning programs. We wish him the very best in future endeavours.

Saint Ignatius had much to say about gratitude. As recipients of his profound spirituality, we have come to the present moment having been truly encouraged and influenced to open our hearts; to think and feel our way into a new perspective; and to build a history with hope and purpose for 2021.

Science

HEAD OF FACULTY: MR MATTHEW BENTLEY

2020 was a most extraordinary year in the way Science was thrust to the forefront of discussion in our daily lives.

The challenges of living in a pandemic encouraged considerable debate on the nature of COVID-19, infection control, immunity and vaccination. Dinner table conversations now included analyses of log-linear graphs of global infection counts and abundant statistics were shared in daily updates from public health authorities. As individuals we sought to understand why our liberties and health may be at such risk. Scientific literacy had never been so critical in understanding the global state of affairs.

Whilst the context of the pandemic made Science critically relevant, 2020 was an incredibly difficult year for educators around the world. 60% of our curriculum is practical in nature and the rest is best uncovered by students in collaborative and socially interactive settings. The protocols of isolation required by the COVID-19 pandemic made engaging study more challenging and it was anticipated that student experience of Science may suffer as a result.

Pleasingly, I must congratulate the staff of the Science Faculty for their outstanding work in limiting the impact of remote teaching. In anticipation of the Virtual Timetable mode , Science teaching staff engaged in an extraordinary flourish of activity to transform existing resources and produce new stimulus materials. The necessity of online teaching and learning led to the development of new experiences to be shared on new and exciting platforms. Zoom meetings, virtual breakout spaces, interactive virtual experiments, webcasts, pre recorded videos and blogs all contributed to a seamless and effective learning experience for our students. At times, our students participated live from their homes locked down in the United Kingdom, Eastern Europe, China, Singapore and the USA.

It was an unfortunate effect of the pandemic environment that all excursions and experiences outside the College gates were cancelled or indefinitely postponed. Large scale events were also avoided on site, meaning our usual entry to Science competitions and the like were also abandoned. In response, the Science Faculty endeavoured to make internal events as fun and engaging as possible. Face to face teaching had returned by the time Science Week arrived, however there were still significant restrictions around co-mingling of age groups so activities were limited to within class groups. Virtual competitions, demonstrations and scientific investigations were undertaken around the theme of Deep Blue: Innovation for the future of our oceans.

The graduating cohort of 2020 delivered some very pleasing results in Science at the HSC. Chemistry led the way achieving eight Band 6s and maintaining very high percentages (68%) of students in Band 5 or higher. Physics achieved two Band 6s and one third of the cohort were rewarded with Band 5 or higher.

Biology made the greatest gains, improving on their 2019 statistics dramatically. In 2020 Biology achieved four Band 6s and nearly doubled the percentage of Band 5s from 2019. The Biology team reinvented the course in 2020, taking guidance from the radically different 2019 exam, and the results were very impressive.

It should be noted that both Duces and College Proxime of this cohort studied a Science subject for their HSC. Notably, Nicholas Leonard - a College Dux - continues his Science education with a place in one of the most prestigious undergraduate Science courses available: Bachelor of Natural Sciences at Cambridge University. This is a remarkable and well deserved achievement. In fact, a great many graduates of 2020 have already secured exciting opportunities for study and enterprise in 2021. Many join professional fields where the skills of working scientifically will serve them well in critical analysis, problem solving and enquiry.

I know I can speak on behalf of the Science Faculty when I offer congratulations to the class of 2020 and wish them all the best in their future endeavours.

Special Education Inclusion Program (SEIP)

HEAD OF FACULTY: MR TOBY MARTIN

The students in the Inclusion Program began the year with the student motto of ‘One Foot Raised’ resonating in their minds, yet with the new and uncertain challenges faced in the global climate, their experience could more aptly be described as ‘two feet raised’ as they adapted to a quickly changing world. While much of 2020 will be remembered for the negatives as lives were turned upside down by fire, drought and eventually virus, it also allowed a period of tremendous growth and development never before seen in the Inclusion Program.

The switch to online learning forced students into a new era of learning. While the new technology was foreign, it taught students the vital skills of surviving in an adaptive environment and encouraged them to forge new levels of independence. Socially it proved challenging but the most pleasing thing to see was how students relied on technology to continue building on their previously learnt social skills. While there are many difficulties in 2020 there were equally, if not more, positives from the experience.

Although we were not able to participate in some of the practical and social aspects of the program including excursions, camps, social meet ups and the all-important Blue and White Café, students were still able to enjoy the annual class walkathon and excursion to Balmoral Beach late in the year. The KS6 Transition to Work program was also impacted, however students still managed to participate in work experience opportunities at Livvi’s Café, Woolworths, Mirrabrook Early Learning Centre and Chartwells Catering, in addition to internal placements with the Licona, Library and Facilities department. The inclusion of work experience continues to be a positive experience for students, and we look forward to a return to external opportunities in 2021.

In 2020 all students underwent a growth transformation, but none more so than Peter Gunter who was presented with the Award for Inclusion at the annual Christmas lunch and subsequent Awards Assembly. During the online learning period and return to College, Peter became a supportive role model for the younger students around the school, and it is for this reason that he was the worthy recipient of this award.

The great challenge that we face every year is saying farewell to students who have become a fabric of the College community, and this year was no exception. Liam Muir and Liam Peake both made the most of their time in the College by immersing themselves in CoCurricular sports and theatrical pursuits, with Liam Peake having the additional accolade of being elected as a Prefect of Gonzaga House in 2020. Their leadership and guidance for our younger students will be sorely missed as they leave the College to face exciting futures beyond the gates of Riverview. Thankfully we welcomed four new families to the College as their sons begin their Riverview journey.

I have never had so much to thank the Inclusion Faculty staff for than I do in 2020. It has been a year that has required complete commitment from all members to cohesively work as one unit for the betterment of our students. Seemingly insurmountable challenges were overcome due to the dedication of the team who rose to the challenge in times of need. Particular thanks go to Kerry Dean and Natalie Baines who selflessly contributed their time to help support our students.

My final thanks go to the wider Riverview community and all those who contribute to making our school an inclusive and positive experience for our students. To members of the Executive, the teachers, the Heads of House, the mentors and the coaches, thank you for embodying the spirit of cura personalis for our students. May we continue into 2021 ‘With Infinite Arms’

Technological and Applied Studies

HEAD OF FACULTY: MR PETER MCMILLAN

2020 certainly delivered many challenges and will be one for the history books, ranging from the COVID-19 global pandemic through to the Australian bushfires - not to mention the College’s power outages during Term 1. Belonging to a Jesuit community with a strong ethos of being ‘men for others’ comes with much responsibility and as well as comfort. The way in which the Riverview community came together in these times of need was truly a great experience which we have all learned and grown from.

Reflecting back on how the TAS Faculty swiftly adjusted by completely rearranging a majority of practical subjects to theorybased teaching via video conferencing virtually overnight was evidence of the dedicated and committed staff we have here at Riverview. Learning platforms were instantly transformed as learning modules for CAD (Fusion360) became a strong base for the kinaesthetic learners of TAS. Design envelopes were broadened and out-of-thebox thinking was encouraged and pushed as students sat at their home desks around the world and Zoomed into daily lessons.

One major concern during the year was of course our Year 12 major work students and how to provide them with much-needed workshop access time. Despite the challenges, our major work students faultlessly managed to complete exquisite timber pieces ranging from musical instruments through to study desks and sun beds. The year of major works also focused on adding extra design possibility that would push a range of new skills and processes that the students had not completed before. These ranged from steam bending timber curves through the curfing and largest amount of bendy ply the College has ever seen. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions NESA amended the major work marking guidelines and placed the responsibility on class teachers. The day here was led by Mr Josh Morris, an experienced practical marker who guided us all through the process.

Once we returned to the College, our Stage 5 students made the most of their workshop time to create some top-end laminated skateboards with marquetry/parquetry bases while our Year 11 Design and Technology students designed and manufactures a series of flatpack furniture that would leave the designers at IKEA impressed while scratching their heads.

Our Stage 4 Agriculture unit continued to grow, making strong links between farm, paddock, nutrition and plant growth. Year 9 Agriculture students studied a range of enterprises including beef cattle, vegetable production and poultry production. Students were involved in all aspects of meat and egg production and regularly collected eggs for

sale in Licona. Year 9 students were also involved in breaking in cattle for the Show Cattle Program and maintaining a working vegetable garden throughout the year.

Year 10 students studied prime lamb and wool production, hydroponics and broadacre farming. They completed the year with a study on honey production and beekeeping. The Year 10 class was responsible for running the prime lamb enterprise on the farm including all animal husbandry operations.

Stage 6 Agriculture students investigated aspects of Australian and international agriculture including export markets and animal welfare considerations. Students conducted first hand trials on plant density and fertiliser requirements of broadacre cropping and researched current farming in the 21st century technologies. Stage 6 Primary Industries students completed a range of work-ready farming competencies including chemical application, WHS, tractor operation and livestock welfare, to name a few.

I sincerely thank our hard-working faculty staff and students for their flexibility, commitment and willingness to learn and grow throughout this challenging yet ultimately rewarding year.

Visual Arts and Media Studies

HEAD OF FACULTY: MS JULIE STEVENS

2020 presented new and unusual challenges that motivated Visual Arts students to use ingenious ways to make and write about artworks. By focusing on actions and meanings, reflective thought, different philosophies and heartfelt spiritual beliefs, our students creatively interpreted and engaged in the Visual Arts. They reinvented everyday items to create artworks reinterpreting things that are familiar to us as treasures. The ordinary was presented as being very comfortable and very real.

Highlights of the Year

In their first term, Year 7 investigated the school environment and the places they valued most. In their second term they painted their favourite landscape and made wire fantasy creature sculptures. In semester 1, Year 8 students used cardboard and found materials to make three-dimensional masks. In Semester 2 they studied the prints of First Nation printmakers and Margaret Preston. They carved a vinyl tile from which they made black and white prints, which were then finished by students blocking in the white areas of their prints with brightly coloured felt tipped pens.

For Year 9, the first semester offered the opportunity to investigate traditional and contemporary portraiture. These studies informed their 3D artmaking practice. In the second semester, students made wire figure constructions and documented their intentionally impermanent environmental sculptures based on the works and practice of Andy Goldsworthy.

The Year 10 program focuses on traditionally valued interests within the Visual Arts. Our Year 10 students studied printmaking of the Romantic and Renaissance periods, painted Impressionist and Post Impressionist style landscapes and drew large expressive charcoal drawings that referenced the practice of Australian artist Brett Whiteley.

The 2020 Year 11 program inducted students into a more philosophical way of working. Students used structural, subjective and cultural perspectives of thought in their artmaking and art writing. Areas of modernity, current artmaking practice and the importance of the Australian environment to our Australian contemporary artist provided the academic territory in which Year 11 could experiment with the use of these current ways of developing understandings and writing text. Additionally, the intense process of making an HSC body of work was undertaken by each of our Year 12 Visual Arts students during Terms 1, 2 and 3. This year the energy and commitment of our talented HSC artmakers was immediately acknowledged and their achievements were later recorded in a digital exhibition which will be available to the Riverview community at the start of 2021. The art history and art criticism component of our HSC course engaged the Year 12 students in studying and writing from various perspectives. Here the boys considered the artworks, practice and context of particular Australian and postmodern artists.

As in previous years, Visual Arts classroom learning was extended by workshops run by practising artists. Year 12 students participated in extension workshops taught by Mr Mark Anderson and Ms Julie Stevens. A two-day artmaking workshop was also held in the July holidays. Afternoon and evening workshops were run twice a week and were very popular, enabling Year 12 to work on their HSC bodies of work in more intense ways, whilst developing confidence and proficiency within particular mediums. The sessions gave each student additional access to the expertise of the College’s Visual Arts teachers as well as external tutors, during long blocks of uninterrupted non-school time.

Throughout 2020, our students’ inspirational resilience and talent, together with the careful guidance and expertise of the Visual Arts staff and external tutors, enabled the Visual Arts cohort to realise their personal best in the artforms of their choice.

Photographic and Digital Media

CO-ORDINATOR:

MRS JUSTINE BARTELME

2020 was the year that made us all rethink our practice. Our Photography and Digital Media department was certainly challenged with this prospect. Our approach to student productions was forced to change and this gave us a welcomed opportunity to overhaul what was originally planned. All media productions are essentially problemsolving activities coupled with some creative and technical knowledge, so we were well equipped and ready for the job.

In the Year 9 course Instagram took centre stage and students experiencing remote learning had the chance to translate and document their experiences from their own corner of the world. This year was

undoubtedly the most successful Instagram photography we have seen in recent years. We also created a news studio with Year 9 students involved in the whole production process in a variety of roles to broadcast live via YouTube.

Year 10 film trailer production went on hold, like many Hollywood productions when plans go haywire. Eventually we got back into production and forged full steam ahead to produce Rebound and Break Point - two sport orientated films. The ‘making of’ videos wowed audiences with their creative editing. Utilising a range of documentary techniques, students gave insight into the preparation and hard work that goes on behind the scenes. Additionally, Year 10 studied the World Press Photographers and produced their own personal photojournalism series and National Geographic front page designs.

Year 11 created Netflix title sequences for productions ranging from suspenseful drama series to inspirational basketball heroes and surfing safaris. For Year 12, Alfred Hitchcock was their main man as they created homages to the master of suspense.

Whilst excursions were on hold, Australian cinematographers and film directors provided incursion experiences for our students to learn valuable lessons from industry professionals. A variety of technical and creative challenges extended students’ creativity and passion in photography and media production, and allowed them to develop their ideas through technical production in the development of their works. We managed to get the green light to continue production at Cockatoo Island for the HSC directorial shoot, and students worked with The Historic Trust, Gareth Tilson from Front & Centre Media and Scott Stramyk from the Canon Collective.

The 2020 Media Show exhibition of student work was hosted online and presented a diverse range of outstanding photography and video that showcased the talents and experiences of what was a very different year for us all. The exhibition provided a platform for students to speak through their creative work as they responded creatively and intelligently to the ever-changing world around them. We acknowledge the impressive work by our Riverview students and congratulate all exhibiting students who created such a wonderful show.

‘One Foot Raised’

The student leadership team, led by College Captain Archie Cornell, aligned their mission to their 2020 student motto ‘One Foot Raised.’ Drawn from the Jesuit ideal of being in a heedful state where one’s giftedness can be shared for the betterment of the other, the three words became a beacon for the student body as they contended with a most unique year. As individuals managing their own response to the many challenges that a worldwide pandemic presents, the students were constantly called to be mindful of the wellbeing of their peers and the wider Riverview community.

Archie, along with Vice-Captains Andrew Spring and James Weston, aimed to lead the student body through a range of experiences across the House system that made students feel connected to the pastoral and spiritual life of the College. This leadership has its greatest expression in the companionship that occurs across year groups through the physical interactions at House Registration time, Mentor groups, House Meetings, Carnival days and St Ignatius’ day. All of these activities did not occur for the majority of the year, and

when they returned, it was in an adjusted, year-based state to align with Public Health orders. The student leaders were therefore called to approach their mission in a different way and did so in outstanding fashion. Tele-conferences, webinars, supportive emails and pastoral check ins replaced the normal activities, and the students must be commended for the positive approach they maintained to the entire year.

The annual Friends Listen Assembly where students deliver messages aimed at highlighting how their stories can help others sustain their mental health and wellbeing was again held. Senior student Alex Noble shared his rousing story of dealing with lifelong physical injury and how, along with his insatiable determination and the support of family and friends, he strives each day to manage his challenges. His story was delivered across the College in a webinar format and left a powerful impression on all students from Years 5 to 12.

An ongoing initiative undertaken by the Pastoral Care team is to highlight to all students the interplay between personal wellbeing, good habits and effective learning processes, thus ensuring a holistic educational experience. The pastoral framework is designed according to the latest research on all facets of adolescent development. The program, in its traditional form, is delivered through the mentor gatherings. As this was not possible for the majority of the year, the entire pastoral team - including but not restricted to the Counselling team, Heads and Assistant Heads of House - designed Pastoral

House Pages that aimed to empower students and their families with pertinent information related to personal wellbeing. Pastoral conversations with Heads and Assistant Heads of House were conducted through teleconferencing through this period, and this close connection and support was made even more essential as the College experienced a double tragic loss in 2020 of George Dummer and Darcy Henry, two fine young men whose early deaths were deeply felt. Tributes for these boys are over the page, and I commend the entire pastoral team for the outstanding fashion in which they responded to the unique challenges presented by the year and their sustained determination to look out for the students in their care.

The pastoral model embraced by the College seeks to ensure that every student feels connected and appreciated as a unique individual so they can flourish as a learner and embrace healthy choices as they encounter the challenging adolescent years. The pastoral care team, consisting of House leaders, Counsellors and Student Office administrative staff, work tirelessly under a shared concern mode of care to support the students where they can. Their work is appreciated by the students who feel a great association with their House and seek to represent it in an outstanding fashion.

Looking to 2021, the student leaders are working under the motto, ‘With Infinite Arms’, embodying the idea of ceaseless care. It is with great hope that broader social contexts allow the students to embody this motto to its full expression.

George Dummer

AMDG

George joined the Riverview community in Term 4 of 2018 and became a member of Owen House as a Year 7 boarder from Burradoo. He was the youngest child of Murray and Jane, and brother to Charlie and Sophia, both of whom he loved deeply. On 5 September, George suffered from an unexpected heart condition and died at the age of 14.

The motto of Owen House is ‘Humbly and Faithfully’, and George personified these attributes fully – as a diligent student who always tried his hardest, as a young boy learning the lessons of St Ignatius and as an outstanding competitor.

George loved and was loved by the boarding community. Known for his joyful attitude and approach to life, he quickly established himself as an integral member of his Division. To his fellow boarders, George ‘Nug’ was funny and full of energy. He could be counted on to instigate their much-loved boarders’ footy matches of an afternoon. George would, they reflect, always have a funny quip to “get the fun happening”. He was a fiercely loyal friend and confidante; a young man of depth who was always authentic and didn’t feel the need to impress others.

George had a love and deep passion for Mountain Biking and Rugby. It was in the Mountain Biking team where George’s generosity, friendship and talent were evident in abundance. George knew mountain bikes –howto fix them and especially how to ride them: fast, downhill, with no fear and with exceptional skill. He loved to show and share this talent, and he often competed at State and National levels all over Australia.

Although with us for so short a time, George’s impact on the Riverview community is long lasting and will be felt for years to come. His memory lives on in the hearts and minds of the boarding community and Owen House. We grieve with George’s family; we will always remember his cheeky smile. He will be in our hearts forever.

Darcy Bernard Henry

IN PACE CHRISTI

Darcy Henry followed his father Michael (OR1988) and his three older brothers, Hugh (OR2018), Tom (Year 11) and Charlie (Year 10), to Riverview and into Campion House. Similarly, his uncle, Paul (OR1990), and cousin Jack (Year 8), are Ignatians.

On the evening of 2 October, Darcy died of a very rare cardiac condition, aged just 14. Heartfelt sympathy and prayers in abundance from the Riverview family are being lavished on the Henry family in their time of grief, in particular, to Michael and Karen, Georgie, Hugh, Tom, Charlie and Lucy.

Darcy was a gift to us all. He spread joy, the joy of Blake’s ‘Eternity’:

He who kisses joy as it flies Lives in Eternity’s sunrise.

He had a love for life, for his family; gratitude for his school, his House, his many friends whom he nurtured with his sense of humour and warmth. He was naturally close to all our hearts.

Darcy was artistic, imaginative, creative. One of his joys was in Music, in studying the saxophone and playing the piano, in the Regis Concert Band, in the Intermediate Concert Band, in the Riverview Big Band and in the Symphonic Wind Band. Similarly, he lit up the stage last year in The Addams Family and in Theatresports. He rejoiced in his considerable academic giftedness in the classrooms and in Debating, Basketball, Swimming, Water Polo, Rugby and Football. He found joy in serving those who need us most, a virtue that his family is renowned for. These qualities are now sacred to his memory.

In Darcy’s death, there is desolation but there is much consolation, especially in the knowledge that “coming to perfection in such a short time, Darcy achieved a long life.”

We can be particularly consoled by the words of the Church’s Liturgy for the death of a young person:

May Darcy now live radiant and forever young in the happiness of your presence.

And may the angels lead Darcy gently into Paradise

Campion House

Head of House: Mr Paul Achmar

Assistant Head of House: Mr Anthony Cook Mentors: Ms Louise Buckley, Mr Peter Kovacs, Mrs Angela Newey, Mr James Rodgers, Mr Peter Watters, Ms Antoinette Yarak

The 2019 Campion Alma Mater article ends with these words: “My prayer for Campion House in 2020 is one of gratitude for what we have, and that we remember our privilege always so that we continue to ‘lead by example’.”

None of us expected the significance of what has been a most extraordinary and, frankly, heartbreaking year for the world, for Riverview and for Campion House.

We remember our beloved Darcy Henry, who entered eternal life in October very unexpectedly aged just 14. Darcy loved Campion House and was equally loved. In House Masses, Reflection Days, Carnivals, fundraisers and House Meetings, Darcy was always in and amongst it all, contributing joyfully and strengthening our special community. We are so grateful for the gift that Darcy was and continues to be to us. Campion House feels Darcy’s absence but he remains present in all of our House activities and in our hearts.

We continue to acknowledge his family, older brothers Charlie (Year 10), Tom (Year 11) and Hugh (OR2018), his sisters Georgie and Lucy, and his parents Michael and Karen.

Darcy was posthumously awarded the Award for All-Round Participation and Pursuit of Excellence in Year 8, which will henceforth be named in his memory.

2020 was a peculiar year. Where our House is normally engaged in community building and philanthropic activities, this year many of our engagements were limited to online or

socially distanced interactions. It was in late November that we were finally able to come together in our spiritual headquarters, the O’Kelly Theatre, for the first time in seven months for our final House gatherings of 2020. All agreed that it felt right, and we are grateful to have been allowed to congregate there before our final dismissal.

We missed our annual fundraisers Campion Kebabs, St Ignatius’ Feast Day, and the Indian Bazaar ‘Save the Mimes’; we lamented the lack of our annual House Mass; we craved the energy of our College Athletics and Swimming Carnivals and inter-House competitions, and we felt lost without the always engaging House Meetings organised by our House Captain and seniors.

But we gained invaluable lessons in the importance of education and community. In the early stages of the lockdown, Campion Old Boys, past captains, staff, and friends from as far back as 1983 eagerly responded to our call for messages of support for our young men. The likes of Mel Morrow, Geraldine Doogue AO, John Eales AM and Pyjama Sundayz reminded our Campionists that we are part of a House community that connects us, across generations and geography. We are so grateful for these reminders, and we know what we have in Campion House is unique and must be cultivated always.

Student leadership was certainly not lacking in Campion House this year. Our courageous leaders, Captain Louie O’Neil and ViceCaptains Will Bunbury and Niall Meehan, were able to keep our younger members engaged and connected. The College ViceCaptain (Captain of Boarders) James Weston helped to maintain connection amongst the College boarding community. The entire senior cohort rose to the challenges of the year and led their Campion peers with aplomb.

Our Campion staff went above and beyond, too. Our boys were happy and cared for. The pastoral care provided to our young men (and each other) for which we are charged, whether online or in person, seemed effortless thanks to these extraordinary professionals. I am indebted to them.

In all of our sadness and our joy this year, God was certainly felt in the love and support our incredible Campion Community showed to each other, a community which has continued to deepen and to grow. What better House is there to which I’d like to belong?

Our mission in Campion House, as members of a Jesuit school, continues in 2021. My prayer, once again, for Campion House next year is this: May we be grateful for what we have. May we remember our privilege always so that we continue to lead by example. We give thanks for the amazing community to which we belong. And may 2021 see our community strengthen, our boys’ formation continue, and our experience of God and his love for us be felt more deeply. AMDG.

“What we accomplish in the marathon of life depends tremendously on our grit — our passion and perseverance in the pursuit of long-term goals.”

Early in January, I found myself revisiting a book I had read some time ago, Grit by Angela Duckworth, the contents of which became our emergent Cheshire theme for 2020. Serendipitously, the ideas presented therein

would prove more valuable given some of the obstacles which arose as the next 12 months unfurled.

84 young men returned to school in late January in the midst of a country that was alight, with many of our families finding themselves affected in some way by the devastation of some of the worst bushfires on record. Weeks later we were presented with a new challenge as the College campus went dark for three days, blacked out by fierce rains and floods, resulting in some of our boarders moving about their respective dorms with head torches!

In April, as we were consumed by a worldwide pandemic, we did the unthinkable: we took the whole Riverview experience online and sought to retain virtually every nuance of the former educational experience. This proved challenging in every instance, particularly to the depth of personal connection this community prides itself on. A range of Cheshire events that we would normally host were not able to take place, such as Saint Ignatius Day, our House Mass, the Indian Bazaar, Sports Carnivals, as well as House Meetings and Mentor Groups for a time. The young men of Cheshire House persevered, made the best of a difficult situation and were determined to take each setback in their stride. As a result of this experience we become more conscientious, confident, caring and calm; nothing was taken for granted. Ironically, in this disconnection of community we became more connected.

Our annual House fundraiser on Shrove Tuesday, Cheshire Pancakes, presented an early opportunity to revel in the generosity of this amazing community. Each family donated a plate of pancakes to be sold at lunchtime with the proceeds providing much-needed relief to the Ryder-Cheshire Foundation that works tirelessly to support homes in Timor-Leste and India. The Ignatian Service Program, albeit altered in 2020, was well supported by those across each year group, with some young men going above and beyond the expectations of the College. The impulse of each young man to give back to those in need never ceases to amaze me and fills me with confidence that we are on our way to fulfilling our mission of sending young men out into the world who will bring about change in the lives of those on the fringes, and ultimately build a more liveable future. What better advocacy of our Cheshire House motto: To Give is to Grow.

The newest members of our community enjoyed their time away on Year 7 Camp, forging strong bonds which will continue to develop in the years to come. The time away was crucial in allowing this group of young men some insight into each other’s context as well as encouraging them to live up to the ethos of the House: to act with integrity and humility whilst always giving of themselves in the service of others. In this spirit, we were blessed to have had three exemplary House Captains in Henry Anderson, Rory Egan and Charlie Hunter. These young men were steadfast in their intent to build a more connected House, one where every

member feels he has a voice. These young men, in addition to the rest of their Year 12 cohort, led with great enthusiasm and asserted themselves in the most humbling of ways, despite the obvious shortcomings of a traditional graduation year. I’m confident that each of our Year 12 graduates leaves us a more well-rounded individual, with a deep understanding of the challenges the world can present and how best to face of adversity.

A Jesuit education emphasises the care and concern for the individual, or as we know it, cura personalis. This was reinforced by our team of mentors who were relentless in their support for those in their respective Mentor Groups, and for this, I am most grateful. I would like to thank Gregg Bryant, Liz D’Arbon, Louise Arnott, Peter Colledge,

Michael Turner, Toranz Wildie-McDaid, Paul Williams and David Bray for their contributions to the House this year. Equal thanks to Vanessa Petersen for her support in Term 1 before commencing maternity leave. Vanessa is extending her leave into 2021 and we wish her family all the best.

2020 was also a year for goodbyes as we bid farewell to Michael Turner after over 20 years of service in Cheshire House. Michael is the embodiment of our House motto and on behalf of the young men and staff of Cheshire House, we wish him well. Further to this, we bid farewell to Cassie Crompton who takes up a permanent Assistant Head of House role in Gonzaga House in 2021. Cassie joined Cheshire in the most difficult of circumstances, just as we moved to online

learning, but through strength of character built valuable connections with the young men of the House. We are incredibly grateful for her dedication this year and wish her well.

Finally, upon reflection, it is evident that 2020 has presented challenges like no other and will be a year not soon forgotten. With this said, it has also illuminated the resilience of our community and those in it to persevere in almost any circumstance. I have learned more than I ever expected back in January as I sat with my book, about an extraordinary group of young men who through a sheer sense of determination were intent on not letting temporary setbacks become permanent excuses. These young men have spirit, they are tenacious, they have Grit

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,” says Tom Reimer, a.k.a. Charlie Dickens (apparently that is who said it originally, so says Tom) as I sit here writing the 2020 report. I am sure all could and possibly

would agree that it sums up the year we had. The year 2020 was supposed to be the Chinese Year of the Rat, but perhaps it really was the Year of the COVID. It was the rat that bought about the pandemic in the 14th century and so maybe, just maybe, as it is the Year of the Rat we get the Year of the COVID! Whilst it has been an incredibly tough year for many, I do believe that this year has taught us all how lucky we are, from being able to access some of if not the best medical care in the world to being able to continue with our education by transitioning to learning online in an almost seamless way.

Of course, the year saw many new and unique experiences present themselves to all members of the Chisholm family. Many found a new resilience they never knew they had, and I hope those who struggled found that there was support when they needed it most.

One thing that has been glaringly obvious to me this year is the lost time we have had to contend with in terms of being able to come together to share our rich Chisholm family traditions, so I thought it would be a good idea to reconnect in some ways to our House patron. After all, it is what should really guide us.

Our patron, Caroline Chisholm, began life as Caroline Jones in the English country town of Northampton in 1808. Her father was a landowner and a pig-dealer and was said to be an upright man. Her mother was kind and always exhibited a cheerful disposition, and neither of her parents knew the meaning of the word meanness, either spiritually or materially. Quite simply, they put their Christian principles into practice. Upon arriving in Australia with her husband, Caroline observed that something had to be done to assist the young girls who were starving, unemployed and ready prey for the unscrupulous; thus Caroline Chisholm embarked upon work for which she was eventually to become famous. At the time, she was not very popular with the ‘establishment’ because she questioned the status quo and was willing to stand up for those who had no voice.

Some ways in which we remember Caroline Chisholm:

⁄ A Federal electorate bears her name;

⁄ A suburb of Canberra bears her name;

⁄ Her portrait appeared on the $5.00 note for many years from 1967 to 1992;

⁄ Chisholm College at La Trobe University, Melbourne is named after her;

Back Row: Joseph Waterson, Daniel Coates, Archie Collis, Patrick Butler, Jake Goodrich, Charles Langley, Marc Playoust, Lorenzo Borromeo Front Row: Joseph Giffin, Christian Taylor, Ms Rhian Lovell, Edward Bell, Mr Peter Wakeling, Mackenzie Ekert, Thomas Mercer

⁄ A memorial seat in Kyneton, a natural rock monument at Woodend;

⁄ An inscription on a memorial stone at Essendon commemorates Caroline Chisholm’s initative in organising the building of shelter sheds along the route to the goldfields;

⁄ A memorial plaque in Burston Reserve (opposite St Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne) commemorates the

centenary of her death;

⁄ Amalgamated secondary colleges in Sunshine and St Albans (Melbourne), Caroline Chisholm Secondary Colleges, are named after her;

⁄ A statue at Circular Quay, Sydney;

⁄ A mosaic in Goulburn;

⁄ A stained glass window in North Hampton.

And of course, there is a very proud House at Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview that has the honour of having Caroline as their patron and is inspired everyday to “act justly, love tenderly and walk humbly”.

As 2020 draws to a close we reflect on the many challenges and achievements that the boys have experienced during this unique year in Claver House.

Our cohort of Year 7 boys joined the House and had a great time getting to know each other and the rest of their cohort at the annual Year 7 camp. Little did we know when we welcomed our new Year 7 students in February that we would spend part of the year running our House meetings via Zoom and teaching and learning from home.

We welcomed Mrs Christine Zimbulis who took over after Mrs Katia Durst retired after many wonderful years as a Claver mentor, Ms Lorriane Logue who took over from Ms Cassandra Winfield after she moved to a new school and Mr Aaron Hooper who took over from Mr Noah Hodge. The boys were also well supported by our long standing Claver staff: Mr Jeff Myles, Mrs Jen Richardson, Mr Chris Bishara, Ms Fang Qian and Mr Russ Kam.

In this very unprecedented year, we couldn’t have asked for a stronger or more compassionate team of student leaders. Samuel Phillip, our House Captain, along with Ethan McGuiness and Oscar Smith our Vice-Captains, set an outstanding example of leadership and despite the limitations of social distancing and Zoom, managed to connect with the boys and keep the House spirit strong.

Claver House was very fortunate to hold our House Mass and Supper early in the year so we weren’t impacted by the lockdown and later restrictions. It is always a wonderful evening to see the families and the boys come together for Mass and a social get-together. Our Year 12s were presented with their House candles which marked the start of their final year, one that took them on a very different journey to previous years but a year where they showed great resilience and strength.

Our Valete celebrations were a little different but all the boys enjoyed the range of events that were held at school and particularly the House Valete where they spoke fondly about one another and reminisced with humour and good will about the shared journey they have travelled over their years in Claver House.

We were not able to build on our success after winning the House Basketball competition, as the Athletics and Swimming Carnivals were cancelled for this year. However, all was not lost as we took out the House Rowing Championship with a dedicated crew of Oliver McColl, Mac Collins, Tom Harrop, Flynn Wilkinson, Rex Collins, Ned O’ Rourke, Sam Phillip, Hugo Kerr, Samuel Harrop and Patrick Lenzner.

Although Saint Ignatius’ Day and the Indian Bazaar were not held this year, the Claver boys stepped up and completed many hours of service by bringing in supplies for those less fortunate and supporting Jesuit Mission. The bags upon bags of groceries that kept on coming were testament to their efforts.

Year 9 were able to engage in a modified Challenge Program, with Bush Week again providing a challenging experience of growth and reflection.

For 2021 the student leadership of Claver House passes to a new team led by Claver Captain Tom Duffy and Vice-Captains Samuel Harrop and Hugo Kerr.

While 2020 has been different in many ways, the boys have proven to be resilient and supportive of one another. They certainly embraced this year’s College motto of ‘One Foot Raised’ and I am sure that the coming year will see the men of Claver House again rise together to face any challenges ahead.

After a smoky welcome to 2020, Dalton House welcomed 11 nervous but excited Year 7 students from all over New South Wales who quickly established themselves as an

inclusive and collaborative group. This was evident in their interactions at the highly anticipated Year 7 Camp where they were very impressive in how they supported each other through each of the challenging activities such as abseiling, rock-climbing and the high ropes. This inclusive culture is highly valued in Dalton House; it was positive to see the boys engage in this so early in their journey in secondary school and it shows great potential for the future of the House.

The year quickly took an unexpected turn towards the end of Term 1 as the entire College pivoted onto a virtual timetable with Dalton House now being scattered from Barmedman, New South Wales to McLean County Virginia, USA. Not to be deterred, House Captain Thomas Sheridan, supported by Vice-Captains Aiden Sinfield and Matthew Mildren, shifted their leadership focus into the virtual realm and kept the Dalton House spirit high through their own positive approach to life in lock down and coming up with fun and engaging House quizzes and other activities.

Mentor groups moved to Zoom with the ever-important Food Thursday tradition continuing with mentor groups coming together each week to enjoy a virtual morning tea.

Fortunately, we spent a much shorter period studying virtually than first anticipated and Year 12 were able to recommence face to face learning in week 3 of Term 2, with the other year groups filtering back onto campus over the next three weeks. Mentor groups weren’t the same as we moved to year-based groups, which gave each year group time together that they normally wouldn’t get.

As 2020 progressed and we adapted to life with COVID-19 restrictions, we as a community were able to start reintroducing

more and more into House life. Given the beautiful and abundant grounds we have, Years 7 and 8 were able to enjoy their Days of Reflection searching for God in all things. Year 7 had an action-packed day led by Mr David Wales and Mr Andrew Taylor. Mrs Kim Prodinger and I spent the day with Year 8 where we explored the foreshore walk along the Lane Cove River and Burns Bay, enjoyed a spirited game of Ultimate Vortex and finished with the excitement of seeing who could launch the highest water rocket.

To conclude 2020, Year 9 were able to engage in a slightly shortened Bush Week as part of their Year 9 Challenge. We headed off to the Hawkesbury River and enjoyed three days paddling towards Wisemans Ferry with one day of mountain biking thrown in to mix things up. Year 9 met every physical challenge with gusto by arriving in camp well ahead of schedule and having lots of laughs attempting to set up tents each afternoon and cooking on a Trangia.

Dalton House is fortunate to have an exceptional pastoral care team and my sincere thanks are extended to Mr David Wales, Assistant Head of House, for his assistance all year and especially his guidance of Year 7 throughout this challenging year; and to our wonderful mentors Mrs Bronwyn Lobsey, Mrs Heather Mitchell, Mr Andrew Taylor, Ms Jennifer Jackson, Mrs Katherine Zerounian, Mr Daniel Kent, Mrs Amelia Leason, Miss Ashley Bierton, Ms Angela Pak, Mrs Rebecca Marren and Mrs Kim Prodinger.

Fernando House

The Ignatian Service program asks our young men to engage in deeds that serve the hearts, minds and mouths of the marginalised. This year, many of the programs that typically offer our students a way to engage ‘with’ the marginalised were cancelled. Nonetheless, through contributions to Redfern Jarjum College, Jesuit Social Services, Jesuit Mission, and St Vincent De Paul Night Patrol, our calling as a community to be faithful in action as men and women ‘for’ others remained loud and clear.

Jesus saw sickness and illness and felt a burning desire to heal them.

Mother Theresa saw extreme poverty and answered the call; Bobby Kennedy saw widespread injustice and hunger and gave his life to answering the call.

Martin Luther King came face to face with the injustices of racial inequality and, at the expense of his life, he answered the call.

In 2020 the students in Fernando House were led adroitly by our student leaders Captain Charlie Rossi and Vice-Captains Zachary Kalogerou and Lachlan Dalton.

Unfortunately, our Fernando House Mass and Supper was first postponed due to the electrical blackout, then cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions. However, I’m pleased to share House Captain Charlie Rossi’s reflection here:

“Throughout the course of history there have been many pivotal moments in time, when people have been faced with a challenge or a call and have not answered. Of course you will most likely never read about these people. It is those ordinary people, like ourselves who when faced with a challenge or see a need and feel a burning desire to answer the call, these are the people that we read about in the annals of the history books.

24 years ago our great House patron, Richard Fernando, stood in a Cambodian classroom, faced with the most difficult of challenges, but he answered the call. He answered the call with all the love and conviction in his heart, sacrificing himself in the service of others.

Over the summer, now being deemed the ‘Black Summer’, Australia felt this same burning hunger. Ours is a burning hunger for change, the hunger that people and millions of animals feel alike across the burnt and ravaged bushland of Australia; the hunger of countless animals and farmers across rural Australia who still, despite the recent rainfall, thirst for water, The hunger that people feel after losing their homes and loved ones is truly heartbreaking,

This hunger for change that I speak of is real and words cannot describe the urgency of our need. I had several family members out there fighting the fires, both defending their own property as well as others. They will tell you, this hunger for change is truly palpable and people are filled with hope, hope that our common values of love, truth and honesty will overcome this tempest of ignorance and hate.

So many people feel a sense of helplessness, or feel lost; many defend inaction through the ignorance of statements like “it’s a myth” or “it’s too late”; a lot of people are set in the dangerous mentality of waiting for someone else to answer the call and to bring about change. But the true genius of our loving family and our broader Ignatian community is that no matter your religion, sexuality, skin colour or ethnicity, our wider Fernando and Riverview community will answer the call to action together, hand in hand, with the same love and conviction in our hearts as Richie Fernando.

And to the people who doubt whether we can actually solve this crisis that we face, I say to you, mankind has climbed the highest peaks, from nothing we have created civilisation

and democracy, we have built buildings that touch the sky, landed on the moon, even when the school lost all power and at a time when most schools shut their gates, and maybe one or two of you hoped as much, but Riverview amidst the darkness banded together as a community. Through a great feat of hope and ingenuity and with One Foot Raised, they found solutions to the problems of transport, food, lack of classrooms and lights, us boys looked out for one another and the day went on.

It was Aristotle who once wrote, “It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light”. Well this is our darkest moment, and together we must dispel the tempting thoughts of doubt and inaction, we must focus on and re-ignite that bright light of hope, which burns so brightly and has overcome so much.

As Riverview boys, we are constantly reminded of that challenge which is embroidered on our crests and in our hearts: “As much as you can do, so much dare to do”.

Of course, Fernando House is not just about our students. It is also about our team of

fabulous and dedicated mentors: Ms Peta Bird, Ms Amy Lester, Mr Patrick Lowe, Ms Samantha Oliver, Ms Joelle L’Aiguille, Mr Michael Dela Cruz and Mr Matthew Parsons. The culture of our House is a testament to their willingness to invest not only their time, but also their wisdom, morality and above all their character. The talents that they display when establishing strong connections with students shows in the formation of relationships of positive influence between them. We bid farewell to Ms Joelle L’Aiguille and to Ms Micol Pagani and we thank them for their continued support of the pastoral care program in Fernando House.

The sixth year of Fernando House will see some change - our new student leadership team of Gabriel De Haast (Captain), Felix Dickinson, and Archie Culican (ViceCaptains) will bring with them fresh ideas and enthusiasm. However, the House will remain constant in prioritising the development of men of compassion, conscience, sacrifice, and vulnerability. That is, we will continue to seek to develop men who know where their heart is.

Fernando Forever.

House Vice-Captain: Paddy Macken

As we entered the 2020 school year, the House leadership team of Adam Galizia, Thomas Jewell and Paddy Macken made it clear to the students of the House that the focus for the year would be based upon the motto of ‘Know your value’. This motto adopted by the Year 12 leadership group emphasised that each

member of the House recognised their worth in the greater context of the House and College.

It was evident from early on that this would be driven from the top and within the first few weeks of the year, the Year 12 team had ensured that our new Year 7 members were aware that they had joined a House where they would be valued and welcomed. This was done through a number of activities including handball, board games and within their Mentor groups.

Our Year 7 students were fortunate to be able to go on the Year 7 Camp which is a highlight for the boys and an important part of the transition into the College. The boys took part in activities including archery, canoeing, high ropes and abseiling, to name a few. The aim of the camp was to bring the boys closer together and in particular help develop the relationships and camaraderie which will continue to grow during their six years of senior schooling.

Not long after the Year 7 Camp our year changed dramatically as we transitioned to the home schooling environment. This presented its challenges for all, but reassuringly it was how we maintained connectivity as a House which impressed me most. Across the period that we were working

from home we maintained connection through our weekly Mini-House Meetings, Friday Trivia and Mentor catch ups, largely all through Zoom.

Upon returning to school, the boys adjusted extremely well to the ‘new normal’ - that is, the COVID-safe schooling environment that meant many adjustments. This included yearbased Mentor groups, Mini-House Meetings on Zoom and the constant reminder to sanitise your hands. Throughout this, our Year 12 leaders did an amazing job maintaining connections with the younger students in the House and displaying a resolute determination to make the most of the circumstances that they found themselves in.

Despite changes being made to our annual St Ignatius’ Day celebrations of raising much-needed funds for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance on the streets of North Sydney, I was incredibly proud of the students, families and Mentors of the House who gave so generously to help us raise $800. It was great that we could still contribute to such a worthwhile cause which specifically helps children with cerebral palsy to get involved in sport.

At the end of Term 3 we farewelled our Year 12 students with a Valete like no other. Despite the difficulties in place through COVID restrictions, it was great to have an

opportunity to reflect and acknowledge all of the experiences and achievements of a year group which had overcome many obstacles throughout the course of their senior year.

I would like to acknowledge and thank the Mentors of Gonzaga House who go above and beyond in the pastoral care of their students. At the end of this year we also farewell Mr Mark Story who will be sorely missed as he continues on his professional journey. In particular I would like to acknowledge and thank him for all of the time, energy and passion he has put into his role as Assistant Head of House.

impact on our College. The norm changed and the usually bustling House area at registration times was closed and recess was extended to prevent mixing of year groups in Mentors. No more Food Days, and Mini-House Meetings would often involve someone in class with their microphones on interrupting the prayer.

Zoom would be our main way of communicating and during lockdown we would have a meeting with each year group once a week instead of Mentors. Some year groups took to this more than others but it was good to have the opportunity for people to stay connected if they needed to.

into lockdown the same week we returned and we would catch up frequently on Zoom and the Peer Support leaders helped to play Kahoot online. It is unclear which was more frustrating, being stuck at home or still not receiving their prizes for Kahoot.

2020 was a year which promised so much and yet it will be remembered for hand sanitiser, face masks and Zoom meetings.

The year began as normal but it was obvious that the global pandemic was going to have an

There was an attempt to start a competition based on the English show Taskmaster. The first task saw about 12 entries where you had to “Throw a piece of A4 paper into a bin. Most spectacular throw wins!” Highlights included Luca McDonald’s never ending throw, Rory Burke’s cameo appearance and Hugh John’s accurate shot. The second challenge asked people to create the best cubby house – a challenge where Tom Hudson was not only the best entry, he was the only entry. There were no more challenges after this, much to the reluctance of the Head of House.

The College would return and eventually a school day returned which resembled what we knew. Five of our Year 7s had to go back

Having won the two previous Athletics Carnivals and the promise of a suitable reward for the threepeat, the boys felt that 2020 was an opportunity that had escaped us. However, we still have held the title for three years even though we only competed for two - perhaps the first House to do this. This is just one example of annual events which couldn’t happen as we also didn’t get to share in House Mass or the Swimming Carnival. Even our service to the community was impacted and boys were unable to participate in the normal sorts of activities that they would have done. Service became more of a donation drive and the MacKillop boys all supported this by bringing in their bags of groceries or winter garments.

Fortunately the Year 12s were able to have a Valete House Meeting which was online for the parents and the rest of the House. It was a very low-key affair but highlighted what we had learnt from the year: that we should feel blessed with whatever opportunities we are given.

Our leaders, Captain Joe Ruddick and Vice-Captains Harvey Parmenter and James Greenup, would often be behind the scenes trying to do their best to make things as normal as possible - although it wasn’t until the last week of Term 3 when Harvey’s real negotiating skills came to the fore to organise a Leaver’s Lunch.

The year was obviously a low-key and sometimes sombre one, but our leaders helped to keep spirits high and led the way as I knew they could. The end of 2020 will obviously not be the end of the new world, but I do think that as individuals and as a House we are a lot more resilient and grateful for the opportunities we have been afforded.

As More Head of House it has been an honour and privilege to witness our students striving to achieve their potential in all facets of College life, despite the uncertainty that 2020 has brought us. The continuing strength and resilience of the House rests with the outstanding leadership of our student leadership group, Year 12 More students and mentors. Along with Ms Alice Ossowski, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr Rex Cooke, Ms Sarah Cullen,

Ms Suzanne Silk, Ms Joannah Kennedy, Mr Matthew Bentley, Mr Chris Wright and our two new mentors, Mr George Sacco and Ms Harriet Symons, who were welcomed into our House family this year. The inspiration and commitment that these mentors display towards the students is unrivalled.

At the beginning of the year we were fortunate to have our annual House Mass and Supper, which was a great success with Fr Joe Dooley beginning our celebrations with a reflective Mass. Our outgoing Year 12 students’ contributions to the House and the College were celebrated and they were presented with their House candles. We then had the opportunity to celebrate our students’diverse talents with a showcase of musicianship, drama, and theatrics. It is always great to have so many families there to share this special occasion.

The Year 7 group were also fortunate to go on camp at the start of the year, where they embarked on a busy program of outdoor activities that helped them get to know each other and bond as a group.

Unfortunately, due to COVID restrictions, a number of our annual service opportunities, activities, House meetings and competitions were cancelled. However, through adversity comes opportunity and these restrictions allowed for several firsts, such as online year group check-ins and Zoom Mini House Meetings. The maturity and resilience

displayed by our young men this year has been phenomenal.

The achievements of House members in academic pursuits, sport, music, drama and debating have been most impressive, especially amongst our graduating Year 12 group. The success of these efforts is reflected in the premierships and significant awards that they have achieved. Most importantly, the Year 12 More cohort have made the most of the opportunity that has been afforded to them. I wish to thank all of them for their leadership and the dignified manner in which they have graduated.

As we look towards 2021, we hope that all the challenges of 2020 have allowed for more individual growth, greater introspection, reflection, and gratitude for those things which are truly important. In 2021 we know that the More House family will be better off for what we have experienced and what we look forward to embracing as we strive for the Magis

The year 2020 will never be forgotten. The school blackout in February, bushfires and floods, then COVID-19 and the death of George Dummer. George arrived late in 2018 in Year 7 and was loving school, his mates,

boarding and mountain biking when suddenly he was taken from us in September this year. As a member of Owen House, George didn’t say much but he has left many happy and wonderful memories as well as an impression on us all that will last forever.

In Owen House we welcomed our new assistant, Mr Ben Carolan, who replaced Mrs Rosie McKay who became Assistant Head of the English Faculty while one of our mentors, Mrs Williams, was on maternity leave. It has been another wonderful year working with our mentors, Mr Glenn Abrahams, Mr Tim Byrne, Mrs Justine Bartelme, Mrs Rosie McKay, Dr Mathew Furtado and Mr Adrian Chan. These teachers do a fantastic job meeting with the boys of Owen House every day, guiding them along the path to happiness and success in all that they attempt.

This year started as normal with the arrival of the Year 7s, and a few weeks later we celebrated our annual Mass and Supper, where once again the parents’ generosity helped raise over $500. This was used to buy Christmas gifts for Indigenous children as well as helping support Sister Anne Gardiner on Bathurst Island where we take some Year 10 boys for service week each year - though unfortunately not this year due to COVID restrictions.

In February, after a huge storm, the school lost power for two days. Little did we know of the other storm which was about to hit the world. As the COVID-19 virus took hold, much work had to be done so classes could continue and as little class time as possible would be lost. Students spent the last three weeks of Term 1 at home learning via Zoom and then in Term 3 returned to school in stages. Both students and staff had to quickly learn how to work with the new system of Zoom classes and lessons.

I know we all learnt new skills and in many ways became better at our jobs, and students discovered new skills and different ways of learning.

Due to the virus we had no St Ignatius’ Day, no Athletics Carnival, no Indian Bazaar and no Swimming Carnival, while the GPS Athletics and Rowing events were held without spectators. But that did not stop the Year 12 Owen House boys from achieving great things in their final year. This year we had many outstanding performances by our Year 12 boys. Firstly our three leaders, Hugo Darin, Dermot O’Brien and Damian Sullivan were wonderful in their roles and were greatly admired by all other members of the House. The Year 12 boys displayed their many gifts throughout the year, including Andrew Aller in rugby, Dermot O’Brien in rowing,

Patrick Lucas in Ignatian Service, Jono Toon in drama and school musicals, Tommy Roche on the ski fields, Alex Darin in fishing, Andrew Spring in cricket, James Fenn in basketball and of course our leader Hugo Darin in tennis, football, sailing and table tennis!

The 2021 Year 12 cohort is just as talented and I know they will be very well led by captain Tomas McNeil and Vice-Captains Orlando Carr and Ed Bowrey. One example of the talent we have is in the 1st Water Polo team where we have five Owen boys: Nicholas Long, Kent Churcher, Tomas McNeil, Jared

O’Donnell and Mitch Rutherford, with Hugo Pringle having them all looking over their shoulders. Kent and Mitch are only in Year 9.

We look forward to a wonderful and somewhat more normal year in 2021.

Audere egregia ‘Dare to be different’

2020 was a year that the Ricci community stood together and excelled in unprecedented times. The 2020 Ricci House motto ‘This Too Shall Pass’ perfectly summed up the attitude necessary to thrive in a year that provided many challenges for the young men of Ricci House. Our strong community of students, parents, mentors and associates all showed, through their actions, how remarkable our community really is. Although it was a tough year, it also gave perspective on the importance of family, friendships amongst peers and the gift of this.

2020 was a year where the Ricci House community came together in ways unseen in previous years. The year provided opportunity for many firsts including Ricci House Year Group Pastoral meetings via Zoom, weekly challenges and photos of Mr Dowers as a baby!

Leading our House were our Captains, Thomas Gaha, Max Holmes and Charlie Ward. Each one of these men contributed to Ricci House as a leader in exemplary fashion. Bringing their own unique talents, they showed authentic leadership through action. All three went above and beyond including checking in with the men on the younger years in informal conversations and also dropping in on their Zoom conversations with Mr Dowers and myself. All three men showed how authentic leadership is conducted through action as they set high standards

for the men of Ricci House and held each young man to those standards. These men, along with the rest of Ricci’s Year 12 cohort, set a strong tone of resilience and excellence. Most impressive was simply the way they, as a cohort, got on with the tasks at hand and dealt with adversity. In 2020, the Year 12 group on the whole were outstanding. Although it was a year where many could have fallen into the trap of focusing on what was taken away from them, the Ricci Year 12 men stood tall and made the most of every opportunity.

To have the opportunity of working with the amazing Ricci mentors has been a privilege for Bill and myself. I am truly astonished at the effort the Ricci mentors put in and the high quality of care they show for our students. Walking around at mentor time, seeing each Mentor group have their own uniqueness in conversation, being guided by the mentors, is definitely a highlight for Bill and myself. We extend our thanks to Mr Andrew McGovern, Mr Kirk Hume, Mrs Susan Thomas, Mr Geoff Tesoriero, Mrs Suzie Marks, Mr John Gilles, Mr Russell Newman, Mrs Jacinta Barlow, Ms Elin Michelson, Mr Dan Noonan, Mr Gerard Carson, Mrs Christina Mikan, Mr Brett Benkenstein, Mrs Jude Southon, Mrs Alyce Muldoon, Mr Greg Jones and Mrs Sally Gates. We are fortunate in Ricci House to have mentors and associates who have a great blend of experience, ensuring that the boys are well served by these hard working and caring companions.

A highlight of the year was watching the Ricci Year 7 men come into the House and make meaningful friendships with each other as well as boys in other year groups. This display of cameraderie and inclusion is always affirming, a true representation of our wonderful community.

Although our usual Saint Ignatius’ Day service activities were unable to take place, Ricci men found new and interesting ways to serve the community. From donating hampers to reading books to infants via Zoom, the boys were innovative in their approach to service. These service activities gave many of the boys a renewed sense of perspective and an awareness of the impact they can have on others. Bill and I are very appreciative and impressed by the men of Ricci House for their commitment to service.

I want to thank Mr Bill Dowers for his leadership this year. It is a pleasure to work with him each day and witness the dedication, respect and care he gives to Ricci House. I am only new into pastoral care and I count myself very lucky to have spent the last three years with him in this role. He gives this job the respect it deserves and truly cares for each individual. I have enjoyed every moment and appreciate his efforts. In such a volatile year it was so important to have a leader who shows empathy, courage and mentorship. We are all very grateful.

With the recent passing of Conn O’Donovan, it is only right that we acknowledge his great contribution to Saint Ignatius’ College and Ricci House. Conn was a man of conviction, courage and action. He challenged you to think differently and to question everything.

Conn did live out the motto of Ricci House through his actions by ‘Daring to be Different’. He will be greatly missed.

Although it is sad to see Mr Allen leave Ricci House, we are all very excited for the new adventure he is about to embark on. Thank you Mr Allen, for all that you have done for the Ricci community. We greatly appreciate the dedication, hard work and care you have given to the men of Ricci House. On behalf of the whole Ricci House community, we wish you all the best as you begin your new journey in 2021, leading your own House and guiding the young women of Marist Sisters Woolwich to be the best that they can be.

God bless and live Jesus in our hearts forever. Ricci 4 Life!!

Students, staff and families in Romero House most certainly were not expecting 2020 to unfold in the way it did. We began the year

with much excitement with the return of Mr Bourne to the House community and also in welcoming 12 eager new Year 7 students. The House Area soon filled with its usual buzz in Term 1, with friendly conversations between students, lots of laughter and the occasional cheer during a game of Uno.

Year 7 students luckily got the opportunity to have the full Year 7 camp experience at the beginning of the year. Mrs Mullan was incredibly impressed that all students participated and supported each other during the activities and especially those boys who stepped outside of their comfort zones and faced their fear of heights on the high ropes and climbing wall. It was wonderful to witness the deepening of friendships during these few days and all students returned with fond memories.

Soon after this though, we were forced to leave the College as the world plunged into a global pandemic. These were worrying times for us all and raised many challenges. Our House Captain Sebastian Wood and the Vice-Captains Alexander Schmidberger and Angus Dougall were challenged to lead the House in new and innovative ways. They did a remarkable job in keeping the House community connected by meeting with

each year group via Zoom. They shared their honest experiences - both the highs and lows - with the younger years and offered valuable study and motivational tips. All students demonstrated great resilience during this uncertain period and should be congratulated on their efforts. We can all agree that it gave us a greater appreciation for face to face interaction and being with friends and teachers in the classroom.

Even though there were many restrictions in place, there was much to celebrate as we returned to school in Term 2 and students were reunited with their peers, teachers and mentors. The challenges were not over though, as our Year 12 were faced with much uncertainty before their assessments and traditional Valete events. These young men demonstrated excellent courage and flexibility and will be remembered for their resilience and positive demeanour when forced to carry out their Valete events in a different manner.

The Year 9 Challenge was a wonderful week away for the boys. While it was a modified program this year, it was still physically demanding, in particular the canoe leg where several students could be heard moaning about their sore back. Despite the backbreaking canoe section, the Romero

Year 9 students were outstanding, demonstrating team work and Ignatian values throughout the whole week.

Although this has been a difficult year for us all, it is a testament to the Romero House community that they so generously supported our friends at Redfern Jarjum College. Our families went above and beyond with their donations and they have been a huge help to many families. This generosity demonstrates how the strong the values of service and showing kindness to others is so deeply embedded within the House.

2020 has no doubt been a historic year and we have all learned the importance of appreciating our friends, families and school community. Under the leadership of Harry Blair-Rath, Felix Leung and Charles Lemieux, we all look forward to sharing the challenges and successes in Romero House in what we all hope is a more ‘normal’ 2021.

Annus Horribilis or Annus Mirabilis?

“Reality is created by the mind; we can change our reality by changing our mind.” (Plato)

It truly has been a tour de force this year. Sitting back here looking at my wall planner

that was so neat and tidy in January ready for this shiny 2020 year to unfold in all its glory - a year of perfect vision, roundedness, completeness. A year full of hope and comfort in the knowledge of what was to come - all dates set, events sorted... how little did we know.

I think this year our mighty Smith shield and all the young men who belong to it have truly put their shoulders together to bear down on a year of fire, floods, deep loss and disease - our flame, while a symbol of comfort, passion, and togetherness, has intensified to forge our resilience as we, like Mum Shirl’s mighty wedgetail eagle, have soared high, deftly mastering every obstacle. We have been thrown together in an even tighter community in sharing our grief, joys, failures and our victories, and more than ever accepting all of it with arms wide open in generosity and fellowship.

And so, even if my wall planner is bleeding red marker pen, black scribble outs, and arrows pointing in all amended directions, I feel comfortable in saying WE DID IT! and did it well. I can’t tell you how proud I am of each and every one of your sons. They have defied gravity in completing their HSC with the best results in Riverview history, in making the most out of the altered opportunities for service, reflection, their challenges, the creative arts, and sport. They have studied

here and at home as best as they could and have gained a most extraordinary experience. Something unprecedented in over 100 years and something they will put in their utility belt for their future.

As we closed up shop this year, we tidied, cleaned out our lockers, took home crumpled pieces of scribbled toil. We swept away this year and straightened things out ready for the next. We are more ready than we have ever been for uncertainty because now we know we can do anything as long as we are together. We have found new ways to communicate and have been reminded of the importance of connecting and the relentlessness unknown of change. How lucky we are!

Some farewells: it is with a heavy but full heart that all of the Smith and wider Riverview community bids adieu to Mrs Ashleigh Morrison and Mr James Russell - both mentors who have shared their hearts and minds with us and have been with Smith House since our creation. They truly have contributed their indelible weave to our Smith tapestry. We wish them well in their future endeavours. They will most certainly be missed!

Finally to sum up, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the Smith families sincerely for allowing me and the dazzling Smith Mentor team to walk with you and

your sons as they grow to become remarkable young men ready to do what is just and fair in the world, who are able to look inwardly, find their gifts and present them to that world, who have the courage to see a need and fill it, to walk with those on the margins no matter the obstacle to get there and to show them the deepest love and respect.

I think with Mum Shirl’s 100th Anniversary of her birth in 2021 looming bright on the horizon, it’s important to remember sage words from some of our greatest:

“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.”

(Marcus Aurelius)

“If life seems jolly rotten, there’s something you’ve forgotten! And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing...” (Monty Python)

House Vice-Captain: Jude Paddon-Row

For the students and the wider members of the Southwell House community, 2020 will count as one of the most trying and challenging years. While by the grace of God we avoided a significant outbreak of

COVID-19, much of the events which we take for granted at the College were postponed or cancelled. This brought disappointment among many members of Southwell House and the wider College community. But, as is often the case, adversity breeds courage and an increased sense of community, and this was the experience for Southwell House. Through face to face contacts, Zoomed House Meetings, personal contacts where possible and other methods of getting together, a spirit of camaraderie grew within the House community. Our dedicated mentors and each Mentor group moved heaven and earth to keep the spirit of the House intact and, to that end, the year ended with a palpable sense of achievement not only as far as resistance to COVID-19 was concerned but also keeping the spirit of Southwell House alive.

Much of the credit for the success of our year goes to our House Captain, Tim Thackray, the Vice-Captains, Charlie Beck and Jude PaddonRow, and the wider Year 12 group. Each one of them devoted significant time and effort to keep the links within the House operating and to ensure that the younger members of the House felt welcomed and supported. Where House activities could be run the Captains organised participants and, where possible, a support squad. The dislocation caused by the virus merely fuelled among our boys a desire

to engage in inter-House activities and to be grateful for the activities they were able to be engaged in.

Similarly, the enormous effort expended by our mentor team ensured the students received all the pastoral care possible in every circumstance. We could not have hoped for more from our dedicated, wise and loving mentors: Mrs Jessica Lonard, Mrs Louella Perrett, Mrs Rowena Byrne, Mr Lloyd Walker, Ms Terri Lowe, Ms Margaret Rooney and Mr Tom Riemer.

A special vote of thanks needs to go to the parents of Southwell House who adapted swiftly and generously to the changed circumstances throughout the year. No request was too difficult for them and their cooperation and support were most appreciated.

2020 will be remembered by all for obvious reasons, but from a Southwell and Riverview perspective, our Year 12 group left an indelible imprint. In trying circumstances, they managed to lead in a humble and dignified manner. They set a fine example for their peers and excelled in every sphere. They were a true embodiment of being men for others.

Front Row: Maxwell McAinsh, Aristotle Stathis, Jude Paddon-Row, Mr Damien Reidy, Timothy Thackray, Mr Stephen Croker, Charles Beck, Alexander Cooper, Nicholas Bunis

One activity which was able to take place was the Year 7 camp. Our youngest students were given an opportunity to participate in a range of outdoor activities such as canoeing, archery, high ropes and the ever-popular flying fox, along with an opportunity to spend some time being introduced to and reflecting on the core ideas of Ignatian spirituality.

At the other end of the educational spectrum, the men of Year 12 were able, albeit in a different focus from previous years, to

celebrate the end of their schooling with a Year 12 Mass and Candle Ceremony. In a similar way, the students of Year 12 were able to join their brothers in other Houses at the end of the HSC with the Blue and White Ball. The event was smaller than in previous years, but there was a palpable sense of fraternity and celebration.

It has been a mixed year on so many fronts. Success, however, is not measured for us by academic success, or sporting prowess, or

co-curricular activity: rather, it is measured by how much we loved. For Saint Robert Southwell, it is not where we breathe, but where we love that we live. This year, the men of Southwell House have learned through adversity and have blessed and been blessed by the presence of others. 2021 will doubtless bring its own challenges, but the example of the men of Southwell House will cast a beam of light on all around them.

‘Walk Beside Me’ 2020 House Motto

At the end of 2019, our House Captains chose the motto for the new year: ‘Walk Beside Me.’

It was a fragment from writer Albert Camus’ reflection:

Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

As these young men planned ahead for 2020, they did not comprehend how powerfully these words would shape the experiences within our school context for the next twelve months.

This year we were forced to adjust to new ways - from the summer bushfires to the pandemic, we were asked to rethink the way we worked and embraced the challenge. Within Teresa House, as we moved online, a Canvas page and pastoral resources were created to inform and guide both students and parents in a different educational platform. For a time, Zoom meetings became the norm not only for teaching and learning but for Mentor groups, year groups and House meetings. Assemblies and masses were shared via weblinks, no longer a unified experience in the Ramsay Hall, but livestreamed to classrooms across the College. We hosted our first online ‘Biggest Morning Tea’ with Year 8 Teresa students and parents to raise awareness and money for Cancer Council Australia to support one of our own families. And we found an alternate way to honour our commitment to supporting girls and young women on the streets and in

the slums in India by funding raw materials for a sanitary napkin machine.

As we moved back onsite, there were still changes for the College community, but as the year progressed, we were grateful for opportunities to return to some normalcy. While many events that brought students and parents together were cancelled during the year, as a House, we continued to walk beside each other and the strength of our community was shaped by this time of change and upheaval. We considered what we were grateful for and separated the important from the unimportant. In our own Teresa family, I observed moments of togetherness, even with the physical distance, as staff, students and parents prioritised finding unique ways to help each other, demonstrating genuine care and compassion through words and actions that transcended a face-to-face presence.

I would like to thank our Captains Oscar Davis, Daniel Gedeon and Ryan PascuzzoBowditch for their contributions to Teresa House in the last year. I am so grateful to have walked beside these young men in their leadership. They were exemplary in their mentorship of the boys, and I valued observing their genuine and authentic care and compassion in their captaincy. They found ways to connect to the students in the House in extraordinary circumstances which is a testament to their strength and resilience.

Front Row: William Price, Daniel Gedeon, Miss Natalie Baines, Oscar Davis, Ms Lorraine Logue, Ryan Pascuzzo-Bowditch, Damon O’Sullivan Absent: Mr Toby

They approached everything with a smile and positive attitude.

Thanks are extended to the parents of the young men in Teresa House who continued to show generosity of spirit even with the distance from school.

I would like to also express my gratitude to Mr Toby L’Estrange and Ms Lorraine Logue for their shared leadership and to our team of exemplary mentors, who are also focused on the care of the young men in the House: Father Joseph Dooley SJ, Mr Paul O’Brien, Ms Rosie Richards, Mr Christian Iligan, Mr Angus Robertson, Ms Cassie Crompton,

Ms Maya Saker, Mrs Sally Wentriro and Mr Jonathon Talbot. They have built strong relationships with the boys in these challenging times and are gratefully acknowledged for their dedication and effort.

Looking ahead to 2021, Teresa House will be led by Harry Spora, Fred Wormwell and Nilanka Abbey. These young men will continue to lead in the name of our House patron with a focus on values such as integrity, charity and compassion.

Without knowing, Oscar, Ryan and Daniel chose a motto for the year by a writer of a famous novella about a plague that swept

through the French Algerian city of Oran. In his work, when describing the aftermath of the widespread impact of the disease, Camus reflects: “They knew now that if there is one thing one can always yearn for, and sometimes attain, it is human love.”

2020. This was a year like no other and as a community we certainly realised and understood the importance of human love as a way to endure such challenges.

The end of 2020 saw us look back on a year that no-one could have predicted or expected. The year started normally enough with the Xavier House Mass and Supper taking place in early February, a good opportunity for families and staff to meet new members and build upon old friendships. Next thing you know, the old world was gone and the COVID world was foisted upon us. A number of families and

students found the circumstances extremely difficult; many found the opportunity to support others and took it. Our Year 12 students not only rose to the challenge, but did so in a classy and mature manner that has left a very positive legacy for those following behind. Our official leaders, Fergus, Liam and Bill provided excellent leadership in trying circumstances.

Online learning was experienced for the first time by many. I was staggered by the number of students who told me that they thought they would never say it, but, “It was great to get back in the classroom”.

I thank Mr Brian Piper, Assistant Head of Xavier House, and our mentors Mr Luca Asmonti, Ms Kim Davey, Mr Tony Morris, Ms Tessa Nelmes, Ms Ursula Sequeira and Mr Peter Steffan, for their resourcefulness, adaptability and outstanding care for the boys in their charge. Hopefully, 2021 will enable all of us to put into practice the many lessons we have learned this year, in an environment that enables more outward opportunities.

House Mass Reflection (extract)

By Fergus Collins (Xavier House Captain)

In our first reading tonight, we were told to ‘love one another’. It’s a quote that sums up the one quality that all Christians must strive to display. Kent Hoffman, a famous psychologist,

says that “every person has infinite worth”, and if the concept of love is to be defined, this may be the definition. To recognise that every human being is worthy of respect, care, kindness, and at the very least, your time.

Love is divided into two parts: the concept and the action. The concept is useless until put into action, and the action cannot exist without the motivation of the concept. In order to love fully, we must first understand what love is, and then be prepared to act this love out in day-to-day life.

In our Gospel, we hear Peter and Andrew start to walk with Jesus when he calls. We too must seek to walk beside Jesus, to walk beside love, as we make our way through the world.

Our House patron Saint Francis Xavier did just this, as in the 1500s he began his missions into India and Japan, a man so totally consumed with a love for mankind that he sacrificed his own life in order to spread and act this love out.

While we aren’t expected to do the same - we may not have to sacrifice our life for another, and we may not have to travel halfway across the world to show our love for our fellow man - what we can do is live with an understanding of love and a constant awareness of when we may be able to put this into action.

Back Row: Paddy O’Brien, James Mansour, Charles Alvarez, William Lamming, Joseph Radford, Ethan Rheinberger, Maxwell Fisher, Benjamin Lin Front Row: Hugo Taranto, Liam Stack, Mr. Rob Stuart, Fergus Collins, Mr. Brian Piper, Bill Delany, Angus Rose

For 2020, this idea is summed up in our school motto: One Foot Raised. That is, to have an awareness of what’s going on around us, and to have the readiness to help. It is a motto of moving forward, of involving ourselves in all our pursuits, and acting out the love we have for people.

So, what can we do now, by the end of this day, that’ll get us on that path?

Well, we can start with ourselves. Before we seek to fix the world, it may be worthwhile to sort out our own issues. Make the most of your opportunities. Involve yourself in plays, play an instrument, go on an immersion or a country placement, do a Kairos or a reflection day. Do something that shows you are trying to improve yourself, because this is the same as showing love to yourself. How can we expect to love one another, if we’ve hardly given a second thought to ourselves?

With the image of Jesus, Peter and Andrew, the guidance of our House patron St Francis Xavier, and our motto One Foot Raised, we are ready to face the challenges that life will hold with the knowledge of love, and the readiness for action.

Year 7 Camp (extract)

By Archie Delany (Year 7)

On Wednesday 11th of March, all of Year 7 went to the Narrabeen Sports Centre for a camp designed to connect everyone in Year 7 and keep us boys entertained and fed.

The theme was ‘One Foot Raised’ on our shared journey, meaning that Year 7 boys could build relationships until we graduate as the class of 2025. To me the best thing about Year 7 camp was ‘Initiatives’, an activity where we worked together as a House group to overcome challenges and obstacles.

My Year 7 camp was the best activity and best thing that happened to me over the course of this year.

Year 9 Challenge (extract)

By Tom Pither (Year

9)

Last week the Year 9 X-men went away to the Hawkesbury River for bush week. We were about to face life’s big questions: Who would be first to capsize their canoe? Could we put up a tent? How good do fifteen-year-old boys smell after four days with no shower? And most importantly, could we cook?

Over four days we canoed, biked, got sunburnt and eaten alive by mozzies. One of the days consisted of a 31km canoe trip. The boats were stacked to the brim with everybody’s bags and group kit. At this point some wished they had waterproofed their bags better. This activity required much resilience and stamina as the tide was not always with us, but I can report that everybody made it and, most importantly, no bags lost and no capsizes (at least in our House).

On the second day we completed a 40km bike ride in scorching 37 degree heat. By the last hour of the ride, many boys were drenched in sweat and tired. However, everybody persisted and did their best. Willy Ryan was not giving up and was very determined to get to the finish line even though he was riding a unicycle as a result of the director confiscating his seat and front wheel due to his many skids down the hill on the bike. This had people in hysterics and is something I’m sure everybody will remember for a long time. We also discovered that we could cook, but only just. And food is somehow more edible when you have cooked it yourself. A famous quote says, “In life it’s not where you go, it’s who you are with”. This sums up my experience of Bush week - I could not ask for a better bunch of boys to hang out with.

HEAD OF CO-CURRICULUM:

MR ANDREW SZABO

2020 will go down in the history of the College as memorable for all the wrong reasons, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As the year evolved, this new virus affected the operation of the most widespread facets of the boys’ education at Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview – Co-curriculum. It is a story with just about every twist and turn imaginable, commencing in early January when 32 boys and 5 staff members left very smoky, smoggy Sydney as the nation suffered the worst bushfires in decades, or possibly ever. The group headed to Vancouver, Canada, for the inaugural Riverview Snowsports Tour: two weeks at Sunpeaks Resort in British Columbia. The air was clean, the snow was plentiful, the only issue were the two days where the temperature went below -30 and it was nearly impossible to ski. The group arrived home late January in time for the recommencement of school to find little had changed, Sydney was still hot and a permanent blanket of smoke enveloped the city. The drought had virtually killed all the grass on First Field where the 1st XI cricket team were about to take on our Jesuit partners, Xavier College, Melbourne, in a 3-day cricket game. The game went ahead anyway but the outfield was basically bare sand due to severe water restrictions.

It was business as usual in late January at Riverview, cricket games on First Field, Senior Basketball training in preparation for the Trinity Tournament, Rowing Camps at Riverview – the list goes on – but it remained hot and smoky. School resumed late January and the first Saturday of competition loomed, the forecast that Saturday was 38-40 degrees. Morning sports went ahead but afternoon cricket games were cancelled when it soared above 38 degrees. Within the next two weeks, life at Riverview changed dramatically; the following weekend, the heavens opened up and the grounds received over 500mm of rain in three days, the campus looked more like a swimming pool. Trees were felled and a power outage caused the school to be closed for two days. I wrote in my weekly email to parents the following week: “What a start to 2020, a weekend of extreme heat, a weekend of extreme rain followed by lack of power, could

it get any worse?” These were words that would come back to bite me.

It was mid-February. The grounds invigorated with moisture, power was restored and normal life pressed on. Summer sport teams were performing to a very high level, rowers were gaining momentum, the Riverview Golf team were heading towards a 4th Interschools Golf Premiership. Information about a virus which could affect the world began to make headlines, but no one really knew how it might affect schools. Towards the end of Term 1, the 1st XI cricket secured a 3rd GPS Premiership in four years and the 2nds basketball team edged towards a 4th GPS premiership in four years, but their final game against St Joseph’s was cancelled at half time after news had circulated that Basketball NSW had shut down all its competitions. Unfortunately, COVID-19 hit Riverview and the brakes were about to be applied to all Co-curriculum, but not before the AAGPS organised an unprecedented, crowd free, mid-week Head of the River. Fortunately, it was a great day for Riverview Rowing where every crew stood on the podium for all six races, recording three wins (2nd VIII, 2nd IV and 3rd IV). The College GPS Swim team won another senior premiership in a shortened season, led by Christian Taylor who won an unprecedented six GPS medals in six different events.

Term 1 ended abruptly. ISDA and CSDA debating competitions were halted, the Year 8 play was one week out from the first

performance and the Year 12 play was well advanced to be ready for performances early Term 2, when the school went into lockdown which lasted until the middle of Term 2 and life changed in the most extraordinary manner.

When school resumed a few weeks into Term 2, staggered by year groups, students were unable to commence normal winter sport due to strict COVID-19 restrictions handed down by the State health authorities. The senior rugby team’s trip, a once in a lifetime schools’ tournament to Japan, was cancelled and the Mountain Biking team was unable to defend their King of the Mountain tag at Thredbo, so attention was focussed toward an early GPS Athletics season in the hope of getting a winter sport season eventually.

The AAGPS Track and Field competition went ahead spectator free for the first time ever in early August and there was hope that Riverview boys would be able to play their much-loved winter sports as the spread of the virus seemed to be curtailed. Around this time, year groups were segregated in the playgrounds, and health advice was to keep people socially distanced, which is difficult to enact on the AFL, Football and Rugby field. Nevertheless, training recommenced, and a competition ensued over the final seven weeks of Term 3, there being only one hiccup when all sport was shut down for a week due to an outbreak in Western Sydney. Fortunately, competition returned the following week.

SNOW SPORTS TOUR: Sun Peaks Resort, Canada

The AAGPS livestreamed senior competition games because all games were played in a spectator free environment, probably the most bizarre event being the annual Riverview v Joeys 1st XV game with absolutely no crowd but over 10,000 people tuning into the livestream. Under difficult circumstances, Riverview senior teams finished the winter season with a remarkable record. The 1st XVII AFL team went undefeated in an amended competition and the 1st XI Football won the GPS Premiership for the 4th year in a row. Congratulations to Captain of Football, Zac Kalogerou, who this year played a major role in two GPS premierships: 1st XI Cricket and 1st XI Football.

COVID-19 made it a very difficult year for Riverview’s performing arts (Music and Drama). The annual College Musical was cancelled and plays went online. However, it was a great year for Riverview Debating and Public Speaking; due to health restrictions, most debates moved onto the Zoom platform. Riverview has the distinction of winning 40 GPS Debating premierships up to 2008, our history records six premierships in the 1960s, eight in the 1970s, seven in the 1980s and eight in the 2000s, but none in the 2010s. Congratulations to James Greenup, Joe Ruddick, Oliver Lenzner and Finlay Harris who secured premiership No. 41 to kickstart the 2020s. The College has

a magnificent tradition in Public Speaking and in the most prestigious competition, the Lawrence Campbell Oratory, which was also conducted on the Zoom system, Jude Egerton-Warburton finished in 3rd place. In the last four years, Riverview students have achieved 1st place, 2nd place and twice come 3rd - a remarkable accomplishment. Jude was also runner up in the CSDA Public Speaking contest earlier in the year.

At the end of what has been a tough year for the class of 2020, Riverview students were asked to participate in some form of co-curriculum under extremely trying circumstances. Many students found it difficult to understand and comprehend how an invisible virus had changed their young lives, a virus that usually affected the elderly but nevertheless the boys pushed ahead and gave 100% and at years end the class of 2020 should be very proud of their achievements both individually and as a collective.

In a remarkable setting in front of the scoreboard on Riverview First Field in late September, students across a range of sports and activities were awarded for their participation and excellence. Two of our sporting staff members, Dan Noonan (MIC Rowing) and Cathy Walsh (MIC Track and Field and Cross Country Running) spoke about overcoming obstacles as a part of a

normal life and while COVID-19 might have been one of the biggest obstacles our students may have faced in their short lives, they will face many more in your personal and professional lives. A strong message from both speakers revolved around making the most of every opportunity that comes their way.

On that note Co-curriculum would not be possible at Riverview without the tireless work and commitment from a large group of staff ranging from Masters in charge, coaches, medical and Administrators. Countless hours behind the scenes at all hours of the day went into making this year, notwithstanding all the disruptions, a valuable educational experience. Finally I would like to thank two people in the Co-curriculum office, Mrs Terri Lowe whose support is greatly appreciated by all who come into contact with her and to Mr Paul O’Brien, who in his first year as Sportsmaster was able to navigate a myriad of obstacles to get all our boys on the practice and playing field, his support is also much appreciated. In my 30 years as an educator, 2020 will stand out for many reasons, mostly I will remember it as a year when lives were changed but challenges and obstacles were overcome and Riverview boys were stronger at years end.

Riverview Show Team 2020

The 2020 Riverview show team started with such promise and anticipation with an eager group of boys working hard on the farm during their lunch break. The boys toiled away breaking in eight steers that were kindly donated by families with connections to the College.

This year steers were again generously donated to the College by a range of families and old boys; without their ongoing support we could not offer this remarkable learning experience to our students. Thank you to the following people for their kind donations, made even more meaningful considering the tough times that our rural communities have been facing:

⁄ Mr Lawrence Toohey and family of Wagga who donated two lovely Hereford steers,

⁄ Mr Noel and Louise Brown and family of Allynbrook Park who donated two wellmuscled Angus steers,

⁄ Mr Mark Mason and family of Bathurst who donated an Angus steer,

⁄ Mrs Angela Makeig of Taralga who donated a beautiful little Fleckveih steer, and

⁄ Mr David Dodds and family of Dalton who donated a Speckle Park and Shorthorn steer.

Unfortunately, the Show Program came to an abrupt halt along with the rest of society with the outbreak of COVID-19, which led to the cancelling of the Royal Easter Show and Castle Hill Show. It was sad to see the steers sent off to the saleyards without being tested in the ring against other schools, however the boys were adamant they would be back in 2021 raring to go.

I would like to acknowledge the efforts of our Farm Manager David Dodds and fellow Agriculture Teacher Ms Christina Mikan who assisted tirelessly with the Show Team throughout the year.

The Riverview Archives Group, although small in number, undertook a number of projects culminating in a busy and successful year. Despite the co-curricular program being affected by COVID-19 restrictions throughout most of Term 1 and the beginning of Term 2, the Riverview Archives Group was able to continue meeting via Zoom.

As this year marked the 140th anniversary of the College, the group decided to consult Father Joseph Dalton’s diary for the year 1880. Our aim was to research interesting events that occurred at the College 140 years ago and to include extracts from Father Dalton’s Diary along with relevant photographs in Viewpoint articles each week entitled, ‘On This Day’ and ‘Did You Know’. These articles proved to be very successful and the Group was able to include an interesting event or fact from Father Dalton’s diary most weeks.

Other activities undertaken by members of the Archives Group included a tour of historic features of the Rose Garden conducted by Michael Opoyan and Marcus Criola for the benefit of the younger, more recent members of the club.

With the cancellation of all Old Ignatians’ Union (OIU) events for the year, the Archives Group was asked to prepare photographs of College highlights from past years which would be of interest to past students, to be included on the OIU Facebook page for ‘throwback’ posts. The posts brought back fond memories of exciting sporting wins, old friends and times past during a time when members of the OIU were unable to meet together at re-unions and nostalgia luncheons.

As a result of COVID-19 social distancing rules being eased at the beginning of Term 4, the Group was able to meet under the new guidelines in the Archive Museum rooms. This enabled Michael and Marcus to work on an exhibition on the history of photographic items held by the Archives. The exhibition will include the display of early

Archie Delany and Julian Criola inspect the ruins of the miniature abbey while Michael Opoyan and Marcus Criola look on

cameras, photographic equipment and old photographs of the College and Riverview community members in various formats such as glass plate positives, ambrotypes, cabinet cards and Cartes des Visites. The exhibition will be completed next year when the Archive Museum is re-opened.

While Michael and Marcus worked on the photographic exhibition, Julian Criola and Archie Delany have been identifying photographs. The photographs were examined for clues to indicate the era the photograph was taken, the event and the identity of the people. Once identified, research was undertaken to enable biographical details and a description of the event to be recorded.

Overall, the year has been a tremendous success with many achievements for the Group.

This year’s Primary & Secondary Schools Competition started a term late when the COVID-19 restrictions were relaxed in Term 3, but it attracted far fewer schools than usual, and was further impacted by several last-minute withdrawals as the COVID-19 situation deteriorated again. Then, after three weeks, the restrictions were tightened, and this prevented some of the matches scheduled for subsequent rounds from being played. Our College’s COVID Committee decided on 25th August that to withdraw from the

competition as it contravened our internal COVID protocols. Unfortunately, the interHouse competition also had to be cancelled.

Despite the impact, however, our chess club continued and was welcomed by the College community. It took place following social distancing guidelines with year groups separated and staying in different classrooms.

After three weeks of a round robin format between Year 5, 6, 7, 8 and 12 chess club members in Term 3, the champions of their respective year groups were Joshua Francis, Lochlan Korowe, Matthew Zielinski, Sebastian Filla-Duan and Matthew O’Dea. The inner club competition continued to see enthusiasm and sportsmanship in our chess club.

We look forward to a great increase in the number of junior teams in 2021. We are confident that our students will continue the spirit and successes of the Chess Club, and further expand the chess culture in 2021.

Duke of Edinburgh Award

MASTER IN CHARGE:

MS JACINTA BARLOW

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is an internationally recognised youth award encouraging young people in over 130 countries to find their Purpose, Passion and Place. The three award levels - Bronze, Silver and Gold - are each progressively more challenging. As the Award is voluntary, selfpaced and flexible, participants can tailor their Awards to their individual interests within categories including Physical Recreation, Skills, Service and Adventurous Journeys (expeditions).

We started 2020 with 44 enthusiastic Year 9 boys registering their first-time interest in the Bronze Award. There were also a number of Year 10 and 11 students keen to move on to their Silver and Gold Awards… then the COVID-19 pandemic hit our shores.

In Term 2, the pandemic impacted all aspects of the Award. Physical Recreation activities were stopped. All Service activities were unable to be performed. All Adventurous Journeys were postponed. Some skill activities could be done online, but not all. The Duke of Edinburgh International Awards then issued some temporary changes to requirements to make the Awards more achievable for those participants who wanted to continue on this year. Some of these changes encouraged participants to actively assist their community during this challenging time – for example, grocery shopping for a neighbour or elderly family member became a very real need.

A number of participants also tutored younger children who struggled with online learning environments.

In Terms 3 and 4 we slowly saw the return of sport and other activities, and students started to focus once again on their Awards. We expect to see a number of students finalise their Awards by the end of the year and many more early in the new year.

The one component that was difficult to achieve in the pandemic was the Adventurous Journey, as social distancing requirements made camping quite tricky. Fortunately (with a significant amount of Risk Assessments in place), Year 9 students were able to have their Qualifying Journey canoeing on the Hawkesbury River before the 2020 school year was over. Silver and Gold Award participants have registered for journeys in the Christmas holidays.

2020 has shown the need to be resilient and flexible. It has required a balance of priorities and greater awareness of the world we live in. Determination, planning, resolve and commitment: all of these traits are what Duke of Edinburgh Award participants strive to achieve, and I believe they have all been successful this year.

Co-Curricular Photography

CO-ORDINATOR:

MRS JUSTINE BARTELME

Robert Frank was a Swiss photographer who had a visually raw and personally expressive style that made him one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century.

“There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.” Robert Frank

Mr Frank’s aesthetic was as much about his personal experience as the subject matter that he was photographing. In the same way, our co-curricular photographers developed portfolios of work that spoke about themselves and their experiences in 2020. Students attended weekly after-school sessions to do all things photographic. We specialised in darkroom practice and provided the students with the opportunity to work with SLR 35mm film cameras.

When we went to remote learning and restrictions were imposed on gatherings, we

shifted our practice to an online platform and gave Zoom a go. Much to everyone’s surprise, we all embraced the new challenge and loved it. We worked digitally to perform weekly challenges that were led by the student leadership team. Students were given timed challenges to respond to creative photographic briefs and anonymous voting created healthy competition amongst the group of Year 7-10 students.

Student portfolios of work were exhibited online as part of the Media Show. It was a wonderful way to showcase the students’ personal experiences through their photographs with the Riverview community.

Congratulations to the following students awarded for their leadership and commitment to 2020 Co-curricular Photography:

Senior Leadership Team:

Captains - Mac Stannard (Year 10) and Marcus Criola (Year 10)

Senior Assistant - Lochlann O’Callaghan (Year 10)

Most Outstanding Photographers:

- Alexander Bradley (Year 7), Alexander Camilleri (Year 7) and Lochlann O’Callaghan (Year 10)

2020 Voted Best Photography - Angus Nicol (Year 7)

Congratulations to all the students for their commitment to the program and the further development of their creative ideas and technical accomplishments as photographers. Thank you to all who contributed to yet another successful year, including Ms Desira who generously supported the students in afternoon sessions.

I encourage all photographers to keep shooting, and remember, ‘The eye should learn to listen before it looks.’ Robert Frank

CO-ORDINATOR:

MR STEPHEN CROKER

Building on the success of last year’s competition, 10 boys from Riverview again tried their skills in the New South Wales Law Society Mock Trial Competition. After weeks of preparation for the first round, we were ready to host the girls from Riverside Girls’ High School when all interschool competitions were cancelled due to COVID-19. It was not until the commencement of Term 2 that the Law Society proposed the competition resume via Zoom. This seemed most appropriate given, at the time, this was how many court cases throughout the state were being heard.

So it was that in early Term 2 we met ‘virtually’ to argue our case before a Magistrate. The

technology presented its own challenges, but the boys competed admirably. The first round resulted in a narrow loss, but the team went on to win each remaining case in the elimination round conducted throughout Terms 2 and 3. Given the truncated nature of the competition, the Law Society only progressed eight teams to the semi-final rounds. On the criteria of points for and against, we unfortunately did not progress.

Mr McGovern and I would like to thank all the boys for their tireless effort and enthusiasm,

and congratulate them for a fantastic Mock Trial season.

It’s been the practice over the last several years for Riverview to field teams in the Bond University Mooting Competition and the Kirby Cup, conducted by Western Sydney University. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the universities made the early call to abandon their competitions this year. We look forward to hopefully having the opportunity to complete in Mooting again next year.

CO-ORDINATORS:

MR LIAM DONOHOE, MR NICK HEYDON

The 2020 GPS Debating season will be remembered not only as one dominated by a new form of debating online over Zoom, but also as one where the GPS 1st division took home the Rutledge Louat Shield for the first time since 2008, a remarkable achievement which was a credit to the boys’ efforts and passion after several years of commitment to the Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview debating program.

The team - James Greenup, Finlay Harris, Joe Ruddick, and Oliver Lenzner - coached by Mark Rothery, had a notable season, winning six out of seven rounds and therefore the best result of any other team in the division. Of particular note, two students, Oliver Lenzner and Joe Ruddick, were also selected into the GPS 1sts and GPS 3rds representative teams, respectively.

In the overall GPS points tally, Riverview placed 3rd on the ladder, a testament to the success of a range of teams.

Though the GPS 2nds ended up being tied for second place, they were unlucky not to win more. While the GPS 3rds finished with just two wins and five losses, they improved significantly throughout the season, with their two wins coming in the last three rounds of the competition.

The 10A team finished equal first in their division, tied with St Joseph’s College and Sydney Grammar. These outstanding results are a testament to the coaching and diligence of their coach, Liam Thorne. The 10B side also finished equal first in their division, again tied with Sydney Grammar.

All teams in each year group are to be commended for their efforts in a challenging season.

ISDA

CO-ORDINATOR: MR NICK HEYDON

Despite an early finish to the 2020 Independent Schools Debating Association competition due to the COVID-19 lockdown, Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview students were able to participate in four exciting rounds against Ascham, MLC Burwood, Trinity and St Joseph’s College.

Each team managed to secure wins at some point in the competition, with outstanding results across two divisions in particular. The Year 10 ISDA team - Charlie Henry, Angus Greiner, Lachlan Doyle and Josh Goodrich - were led by coach Liam Thorne, and were undefeated across the 4 rounds of the competition. Also joining them in an undefeated status were the Senior B team: Matthew O’Dea, Tom Gaha, Nick Leonard and Alex Hoffman, coached by Liam Donohoe. Due to the early suspension of the competition, both teams were prevented from the opportunity to potentially continue their winning streak in the final three rounds, and in the various finals rounds usually held at the end of Term 1 and into Term 2.

Notable success was seen in the Year 9 and Senior A divisions, with each team winning three of four rounds. The Year 9 team - Joshua O’Dea, Liam Rees, Benjamin Harris and Knox O’Connor - also coached by Liam Donohoe, just had the one loss in Round 1 against Ascham.

ISDA Senior A, consisting of Joe Ruddick, Oliver Lenzner, Finlay Harris and 2020 Debating Captain James Greenup - and coached by Mark Rothery - also had their only loss against Ascham.

While there was disappointment at having an abbreviated competition, all teams were able to considerably develop their skills across the four rounds, which also served as useful preparation for the Term 3 GPS competition.

SDN

CO-ORDINATOR: MR NICK HEYDON

The 2020 School’s Debating Network competition had to contend with the new challenge of Zoom debating, which was taken up enthusiastically by all students. While a face-to-face competition would be preferable, the restrictions brought upon by COVID-19 meant Zoom debates were taken up across competition schools, and as such, students were given the opportunity to develop a whole new range of skills in the realm of online debating.

For Riverview’s SDN debating squad, success was found across many divisions, with a particularly remarkable achievement for SDN Senior B. Team members Patrick Byrne, Sam Kearney, Peter Gordon and Thomas Dredge, and coach Michael Byrne, secured both a Grand Final position, and ultimately a win, against Abbotsleigh, a very strong school in the competition. This had followed a very successful season for the team, which had also made the Grand Finals in 2019 (as the Year 10 squad).

Joining Senior B in the Grand Final round were SDN Primary A, coached by Ben O’Dea and comprising Lachlan Clubb, Sam Ryan, James Re and Patrick Delaney. While the boys had a very successful season, and the honour of making the Grand Finals, unfortunately they were unable to take home the final win, with opponents Abbotsleigh successful in the finals.

The Years 7 and 8 SDN teams both narrowly missed out on having an opportunity to debate in the Grand Finals. It was also pleasing to see steady improvement for the Primary B and Juniors teams who, after early losses, were able to find success later in the competition.

International Debating Competition

CO-ORDINATOR: MR LIAM DONOHOE

While in many ways disruptive, the move to online debating has opened new frontiers and enabled new possibilities for our debaters. In a year of many firsts and milestones, 2020 also saw the first Term 4 debating program in Riverview’s history, with seven teams from Years 5 to 10 competing in the inaugural International Debating Championship. Facing competition from Singapore, South Korea, Queensland, Victoria, the United Arab Emirates, and even Sydney, coaches hoped the diversity of styles and lower stakes would provide a good opportunity for development.

While all our teams had even or positive win rates, none were able to make the finals. The Senior B side, comprising Thomas Dredge (Year 9), Peter Gordon (Year 10), Sam Kearney (Year 10), Miles McKeon (Year 10) and Liam Rees (Year 9), went the closest of our teams, winning three from four but narrowly missed out on speaker point margins. The Senior A side, comprising Lachlan Doyle (Year 10) Joshua Goodrich (Year 10), Angus Greiner (Year 10), Charlie Henry (Year 10), and Joshua O’Dea (Year 9) began well with two wins, but losses to Nanyang Girls’ High School in round 3 and St. Aloysius’ College in round 4 cost them a chance at breaking.

Other results:

⁄ Year 8 side: two wins from four

⁄ Year 7 side: three wins from four

⁄ 7B (under 13) side: two wins from four

CO-ORDINATOR:

MRS MARILYN FITZGERALD

As the world closed in on itself, seeking respite from a global pandemic, we at Riverview also managed to form new and dynamic ways of finding a voice, opening virtual borders of communication with each other. While much of the Public Speaking season was affected by the COVID-19 lockdown, through the wonders of Zoom, our students were still able to participate successfully in both The Catholic Schools Public Competition and The Lawrence Campbell Oratory Competition, showcasing their wit, eloquence and oratory skills on a cyber screen as well as a more traditional live audience.

CSDA Public Speaking Competition

On Friday, 19 June, The Catholic Schools Public Speaking Competition Grand Final was held via Zoom for the first time in its history. Under extraordinary and socially-distanced circumstances, the College was well represented with three students reaching the final: James Craig (Year 10), James Wilson (Year 11) and Jude Egerton-Warburton (Year 12).

Congratulations to all of our public speakers who participated in the competition, representing the College in the first round at St Scholastica’s College, Glebe, on Friday 6 March:

Lawrence Campbell Oratory Competition

This year saw the first ever Virtual Lawrence Campbell Oratory Competition, held via Zoom. It is recognised as the most prestigious public speaking event in NSW with past winners such as Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, former High Court Chief Justice Anthony Murray Gleeson and of course, the honourable Sebastian Braham (OR2019).

Riverview’s entrant for 2020 was Jude Egerton-Warburton who spoke with humour, grace and eloquence on the topic “It’s time to say it like it really is” to a crowd of three and a virtual audience of many. As a result, he was placed third in an extremely competitive cohort and the College is very proud of his efforts.

A special mention must go to Mr James Rodgers, who coached him admirably through the process, and also to Ms Jennifer Jackson, who was there to encourage him on the day. We also know that there were many there in spirit and online and we thank them for their support.

THEATRE PRODUCTIONS

MASTER IN CHARGE: MR CONRAD PAGE

“I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” - Oscar Wilde

2020 Co-curricular Drama was a very different creative space from previous years, challenging all involved to think outside the box. We created as many COVID-19 safe opportunities as possible for students to perform in the O’Kelly Theatre, Ramsay Hall stage spaces or even at home on Zoom. Many wonderful and memorable theatrical moments were experienced in rehearsals and filmed performances. Both on- and off-stage and behind the scenes, teachers and students gained life-changing skills unleashing creativity with mentoring, rehearsals, costume designing, set building, lighting, sound designing and innovative filming techniques. Co-curricular Drama, rather like a busy theatre ensemble, provides a unique platform for students to release their artistic talents by collaborating together to experience all that live theatre, Theatresports, social distance, Zooming and filming can provide.

The productions this year had students and audiences at home excited with a variety of theatrical experiences. So, very nearly starting in March we had the two Year 8 One Act plays 30 Horrible Catastrophes of Middle School written by Kamron Klitgaard, directed by Finn Stannard (OR2018) and The Literati Awards, Honouring Literature’s Greatest Characters written by Claire Epstein and Ian McWethy, directed by Amy Lester with both plays stage managed by our very own View Crew students.

Both senior plays were unfortunately cancelled this year. The Year 11 production of a fast-paced and sardonic stage adaption of Hitchcock’s cinematic thriller The 39 Steps was being directed by Kirk Hume with assistant director Stuart McRae, while the Year 12 Play Behind Closed Doors, comprising contemporary and classic monologues, speeches and film scenes exploring the theme

of raw truth, was being directed by Louise Arnott. While neither of these productions made it to the stage, the collaboration and rehearsal process proved to be valuable experiences for our students.

Finally, in September, a socially distanced theatre production took place with the Year 9 performance, filmed on stage for an online audience, of The Internet is Distracting... OH LOOK A KITTEN by Ian McWethy. Directed by Lara Stern with assistant director Kirk Hume, stage managed by View Crew with technical support for filming by Michael Curtin and Daniel McCreton. We ended 2020 with our Year 10 students tackling a compilation of a number of extracts by David Ives, David Rabe, Eugene Ionesco, Calvin Worthington and Monty Python as well as the creative genius of the cast in their scripting of our final performance, All in the Zooming, in November.

I would like to thank and acknowledge all the behind the scenes work by students, parents and staff who work tirelessly and creatively in the theatre wings. These include our costume design department led by Louella Perrett and Kathleen Hunt are second to none, designing and hand making costumes for a variety of different productions throughout the year with safety and precision; set design and construction led by Kirk Hume and assisted by Mark Anderson and Paul Williams who always manage to deliver the director’s vision and transform the theatre into a magical space for the actors to perform on and film, to the delight of online audiences; and our backstage supervisor, Julie Stevens.

All directors, assistant directors, coordinators, View Crew and mentors have worked with great effort and energy on editing, writing, casting, rehearsing, blocking scenes, technical, dress rehearsals and filming under extraordinary circumstances to keep the theatre alive to inspire students and online audiences throughout 2020. Thank you to all staff and students who work behind the scenes: to our Audio Visual Manager, Michael Curtin, and View Crew Manager, Daniel McCreton, who plot, design and rig all of the theatre audio visual equipment; to our newly appointed Props Manager, Denyse Gibbs; ticket booking, Danni Hurley; Front of House, Mariella Testa; Photographer, Paul Achmar, Viewpoint Editor Leanne Gomez; printing posters and programmes, Abu Hassan and Edison Wong. I thank you all for the passion and grace that you bring to Co-curricular

Drama sharing your theatrical talents, vision and passion for Drama with student casts and crews.

Theatresports 2020 provided over 70 students from every Senior year group the opportunity to experience the challenge and exhilaration that is improvisational theatre with two separate competitions held over the year. Kicking off the season in Term 1 was the Year 9-12 Intermediate and Senior Theatresports Competition which happened just before lockdown and was performed at a lunch time in the Ramsay Hall with social distancing protocols in place. This was followed in Term 3 in September by the Year 7 and 8 Junior Theatresports Competitions which were filmed and presented online. A large thank you to our talented Theatresports coordinator Lara Stern with coaches Joanne Kennedy, Samantha Oliver and Sally Wentriro. The Intermediate and Senior Theatresports was hosted by Drama Captain Jude Paddon-Row and Vice-Captain Oliver Murrie.

“I believe that in a great city, or even in a small city or a village, a great theatre is the outward and visible sign of an inward and probable culture.” - Laurence Olivier

The 2019-20 Drama Captain Jude PaddonRow and Vice Captain Oliver Murrie have been exemplary leaders - always thinking of others by working backstage, ushering, hosting Theatresports, performing and supporting all other drama students throughout this unusual year. I thank Principal Dr Paul Hine, Rector Father Gerry Healy SJ, Head of Co-curricular Andrew Szabo, Head of Drama Louise Arnott and Co-curricular Drama Assistant Lara Stern for all their endless support to keep Co-curricular Drama alive and their professional guidance.

2020 has been a very challenging year for Co-curricular Drama and it has been very rewarding to be a part of the endless support and energy from all involved to keep theatre alive. Thank you to all involved in the many and varied Co-curricular Drama ensemble roles to provide rewarding and enriching theatrical experiences.

Year 12 Drama

Behind Closed Doors

Monologues and scenes from powerful playwrights adapted for the stage by Ms Louise Arnott and the Year 12 Cast Director: Ms Louise Arnott

Behind Closed Doors began as a collaborative project that explored and exposed the images and writings of what really happens in our daily lives behind closed doors. As an ensemble there was much discourse in the rehearsal room exploring the idea of the ‘face’ we present in public and how different this is from our everyday authentic lives when we are stripped bare. That is, the rawness and truth of our real experiences and how for some that may be a lonely experience of an isolated home life, while for others it may be a collective experience of tensions at home. Inspired by a wide range of modern and historical plays, poems and film excerpts, we embarked on a tapestry of monologues that wove together to present our ideas of the reality of life ‘Behind our closed Doors’.

I was privileged to work with a collection of 15 extraordinarily talented Year 12 young men who entered our first rehearsal bursting with enthusiasm and wit. These gifted performers honoured their monologues with heart and humour to create our own unique playbuilt performance. It was truly joyous to navigate the tragedies and comedies with these exceptional senior performers. They learnt to ‘suit the action to the word, the word to the action’ and have left the experience knowing the joy and richness in the process of creating theatre.

Behind Closed Doors was a celebration of theatrical language, emotion and experience. And whilst the final product was never presented to an audience in our restricted year, the process of ‘doing’ made these wonderful performers all the more richer in theatrical experience, knowledge and an overwhelming appreciation of the power of theatre to move us in ways only theatre can make possible.

Year 11 Drama

The 39 Steps

Adapted by Patrick Barlow

From the movie by Alfred Hitchcock

From the novel by John Buchan

Director: Mr Kirk Hume

Assistant Director: Stuart McRae

In Term 1, our Year 11 students time-travelled from sunny Sydney in 2020 to an anxious England circa 1936, threatened by the approaching dark clouds of war.

In this fast-paced and sardonic stage adaption of Hitchcock’s cinematic thriller The 39 Steps, we follow the adventures of Richard Hannay (played by James Wilson), whose humdrum life in London takes a very adventurous turn one night when he is approached by a mysterious woman with a German accent and a very dangerous secret, Annabella Schmidt (Kate Anthonisz).

Almost immediately, Hannay finds himself enmeshed in a world of spies, seduction and murder. When Annabella ends up with a knife in her back, suspicion falls on Hannay, who is forced to flee to the highlands of Scotland in an effort to get to the bottom of Annabella’s secret and clear his name.

Along the way he meets a multitude of characters including the ill-fated vaudeville performer Mr Memory (Christopher Martin), an enthusiastically helpful milkman (Orlando Carr), a pair of leering travelling underwear salesmen (Alex Saadie and Gabriel de Haast) and the glowering Scotsman, John McTyte (Tom Henry), to name a few.

Of course, no spy drama would be complete without a dash of romance, and for Hannay this comes in the form of the very principled Pamela (Zara Pettigrew), who is swept up in his adventure - whether she likes it or not.

When you add to this a plethora of policemen, sundry spies, and a couple of Nazis posing as respectable English gentry, it is easy to imagine the fun our cast had in rehearsal, especially given the many accents the students had to adopt to bring these characters to life.

We were very fortunate to have among our cast some very talented girls from affiliate schools including Gennavieve Lovely, Zara Lea, Hattie Feilen and Genevieve Hadwen.

By the end of Term 1, it was clear that the cast were well on the way to embodying their characters and discovering the comedic possibilities within their scenes. Although we were unable to take our production of The

39 Steps to an opening night audience, it was nevertheless a great privilege and a lot of fun working with this talented and creative cast.

I would also like to thank Stuart McRae, my Co-Director, who brought great professionalism and pragmatism to the project.

Year 10 Drama

All in the Zooming Theatre extracts adapted for the stage to be filmed

By Alice Ossowski, Rosanna Comastri and the Year 10 cast

Director: Ms Alice Ossowski

Assistant Director: Ms Rosanna Comastri

Based on a collection of short plays by David Ives called All in the Timing, All in the Zooming is a compilation of a number of extracts by David Ives, David Rabe, Eugene Ionesco, Calvin Worthington and Monty Python as well as the creative genius of our talented cast in their scripting of Zoom Class. The result is an eclectic collection of plays that all have one thing in common: wordplay. From the absurdist delights of Ionesco’s The Bald Primadonna to the hilarious Words Words Words by Ives and the poignant adaptation of My Father’s Hands by Worthington, All in the Zooming allowed our students to showcase a wide variety of dramatic skills. A small but dedicated team of students from Riverview and Brigidine College worked hard to bring each scene to life.

Rehearsing via Zoom was a unique experience, as was filming our scenes instead of performing them live. The students adapted well to every change and rose to the occasion every time we asked them to try something new. The cast, consisting of Ash Bowie, James Craig, Oliver Ell, Peter Gordon, Orlando McDermott, Tom McKay, Gabriel Storgato, Jack Treacy and Alannah McGrath, Eva Ossowski, Isabella Sham and Aisling Tutaan were incredibly talented and adaptable. They made a difficult process as easy as possible with their boundless energy and enthusiasm.

Our filming sessions with the talented View Crew including Alex Camilleri, Luca Maher, Edward Roach, Mac Stannard and Hugo Wrightson, led by Michael Curtin, had a

steep learning curve and we were reliant on the talents of our crew like never before. The filming sessions were lots of fun, with many cuts and bloopers gathered along the way.

Thank you as always to our wonderful theatrical support team of Mark Anderson, Kirk Hume, Kathleen Hunt and Louella Perrett whose sets and costumes allowed the work to shine. We had a wonderful time putting this play together and will never forget this inspiring and unique experience.

Year 9 Drama

The Internet is Distracting... OH LOOK A KITTEN

By Ian McWethy Director: Lara Stern Assistant Director: Kirk Hume

The internet is an extraordinary place that offers us seemingly endless possibilities from instant access to news and information (with varying degrees of reliability) to games, image searches, social networking and streaming sites. However, it can also lure us down the rabbit hole of click bait, twitter battles and endless Wikipedia searches. Our Year 9 Cocurricular production delved into this online vortex by bringing familiar search engines, streaming networks and social media sites to life as different characters who compete for the attention of a student frantically attempting to complete an essay on The Great Gatsby.

This fun script offered a perfect opportunity for our Year 9 actors to create socially distanced theatre for an online audience. Throughout our rehearsals, I was blown away by the resilience of our cast who adapted to everchanging circumstances with tenacity. Louella Perrett and Kathleen Hunt created perfect costumes for each character, while Kirk Hume transformed the O’Kelly Theatre into a working film set and Michael Curtin created a versatile lighting design and filmed each scene. During filming, the cast stepped into the dual roles of actors and crew with professionalism. Liam Tracy, Dylan Bennett and Lachlan Fitzgerald demonstrated their outstanding work ethic and performing skills, patiently attending extra Zoom rehearsals so we could record their scenes in their homes.

This considerable collaborative undertaking would not have been possible without a number of exceptional people. Thanks to Abu Hassan and Edison Wong for printing all sorts of weird and wonderful set pieces. A huge thank you to Conrad Page for his assistance with the show and to Daniel McCreton for his ICT support. Louella Perrett and Kathleen Hunt, thank you for working your costume magic once again. We are all so grateful for the expertise of Michael Curtin, who saved the day by filming the show and then spent hours and hours editing the footage. I am constantly awed by Kirk Hume’s remarkable talent for dreaming up and building sets out of thin air, his directorial prowess and his eye for detail. It was a privilege directing this production with him.

Congratulations to our cast: Dylan Bennett, John-Paul Colosimo, Toby Drew, Rory Dwyer, Leo Egerton-Warburton, Lachlan Fitzgerald, Daniel Haire, Daniel Izard, Harrison Loiterton, Luca Maher, Maxwell Matthews, Callum Mitchell, Gruffydd Palmer, Alex Spong, Liam Tracy and Zach Woodburn. It was genuinely inspiring to direct such talented and considerate young men and I am incredibly proud of the show we created.

Thank you to parents, guardians and teachers for your support, for encouraging these young men take part in our Co-curricular Drama programme at Riverview and for celebrating the joy that theatre can bring into the world.

Year 8 Drama

The Literati Awards

By Claire Epstein and Ian McWethy

Director: Amy Lester

This year, Year 8 Co-Curricular Drama students put together a production of The Literati Awards: Honouring Literature’s Greatest Characters by Claire Epstein and Ian McWethy. This production centres on an Oscars-style awards ceremony hosted by Adam Fairchild (Cian McAweeney) and Alexei Vellum (Darcy Henry) which honours literature greats including Moby Dick (Christian Pierangeli), Hamlet (Xavier Hynes), Romeo Montague (Connor Forrest), Sherlock Holmes (Charlie McKay), Gandalf (Oscar Ell) and Jay Gatsby (James Harrison). But as Gollum (Angus McGibbon) threatens to steal the coveted trophy for ‘Greatest Literary Character of All Time’, the events staff (Tana McCleary and Danny Rigney) must pull together to ensure that the ceremony is a success.

Our performers were fortunate to be joined by Marilyn Mylonas (Marist Sisters Woolwich), Sasha Davidson (Roseville College) and Zoe Gelagin (Loreto Kirribilli), as well as Tahlia Moses, Olivia Heath and Jessica Anderson (all Loreto Normanhurst). The opportunity to meet and collaborate with students from other schools is a valuable feature of the CoCurricular Drama program.

While COVID-19 sadly prevented the scheduled performances from taking place, our performers displayed extraordinary commitment and enthusiasm, and all grew significantly in their acting skills across the course of rehearsals. We have no doubt that we will see them on the O’Kelly Theatre stage many times over the years to come.

A special mention is to be made of the outstanding talent and diligence of the late Darcy Henry. In his lead role as Alexei Vellum, Darcy brought a unique wit and charisma to the cast and was known for sneaking his own jokes into the script, much to the delight of the rest of the cast. We were lucky to have shared in Darcy’s talents during his time at Riverview and he will be dearly missed by all in the CoCurricular Drama program.

The 30 Horrible Catastrophes of Middle School

By Kamron Klitgaard Director: Finn Stannard (OR2018)

The 30 Horrible Catastrophes of Middle School was selected to provide each actor with their own time to shine on centre stage. The play was set up as 30 short vignettes, each comically showing off the awkward, terrifying and horrible catastrophes that students face in middle school. Everything from cliques to body odour was comically examined by the cast members with a level of enthusiasm,

energy and talent that blew me away. Their spirit and excitement made it very difficult to choose which cast members would star in which catastrophe.

Every student involved truly stood out during rehearsals. Charlie Davidson, Raphael Quoyle, Edward Dunstan, Tyler Hartman, and Nicholas Re each kicked off the show with brilliant energy and enthusiasm in their opening scene on the complications and delicacies of grammar. Similarly, Henry Rooney and Liam Treacy furthered their skills with comedic timing and physicality in their catastrophe on the difficulties of being short. Finally, Isaac Ford, Grace Scott and Jess Anderson each shone in their hilarious scene on the crazy rumours that can spread around schools.

Whilst the final performances were ultimately cancelled, each cast member developed their skills and talents in acting with such vigour that the 2021 Year 9 production shows much promise.

Director’s note: Mr Finn Stannard (OR2018)

Theatresports

COACHES: MS JOANNE KENNEDY, MS SAMANTHA OLIVER, MS LARA STERN AND MS SALLY WENTRIRO

CO-ORDINATOR: MS LARA STERN

The importance of improvisation – having fun and being able to quickly adapt to everchanging circumstances – proved more valuable than ever during this unpredictable year. Not only does Theatresports training develop confidence and imagination, it encourages critical thinking, collaboration and communication as teammates have to learn to listen to one another, think on their feet, problem-solve and trust their instincts. It is always rewarding to watch students’ skills and self-assurance flourish each week, always accompanied by plenty of laughter.

We are enormously fortunate to have such overwhelming support for our Theatresports programme at Riverview. We are indebted to parents, staff, Old boys and the students themselves who champion this quirky Cocurricular activity with endless enthusiasm. It was a joy to train such skilful young improvisers alongside coaches Joannah Kennedy, Sally Wentriro and Samantha Oliver. A huge thank you to our MIC of Co-curricular Drama, Conrad Page, for his guidance and all the extraordinary work he does behind the scenes to ensure that the Theatresports programme thrives year after year.

It’s no small feat to perform without the security of a script. Students have to rely on their teammates, courage, creativity and training to keep the audience entertained throughout each round, performing scenes which have never been rehearsed before and will never be seen again. For some of our Year 12 Theatresports players, this was their fifth or sixth year performing in our Theatresports competition, while for others this was their first time on a stage. Whatever their experience or skill level, every single participant deserves to be congratulated for their courage, passion and playfulness.

Intermediate and Senior Theatresports

Throughout Term 1, our Year 9 to 12 improvisers attended weekly training sessions where they honed their skills in preparation for our Theatresports Championships. Training sessions culminated in two lunchtime contests – one for our Intermediate teams and another for our Seniors.

Drama Captains Oliver Murray and Jude Paddon-Row hosted the competitions with theatrical flair as our improvisers entertained a very socially-distanced audience of staff and students in the Ramsay Hall. The competitions showcased our talented improvisers who kept the audience laughing and applauding with their quick wits and inventive storylines. After three rounds of rollicking laughter, memorable characters and inventive storylines, The Pauline Cain Theatresports Senior Trophy was awarded to the Year 12 team ‘Arnott’s Mixed Assorted’ with Matthew Dardis, Matthew Mildren, Oscar Franklin and Thomas Sheridan. ‘Brexit Means Brexit’, our Year 10 team featuring Xavier Masztak, Orlando McDermott, Oliver Ell and Matthew Fielding took home the Intermediate Theatresports trophy.

A huge thank you to Louise Arnott, Conrad Page, Sally Wentriro, Luca Asmonti and Jo Keeling-Lowe who judged the technical, narrative and entertainment value of each scene. We are indebted to Paul Achmar for the incredible photos and to our Theatresports coaches Joannah Kennedy, Samantha Oliver and Sally Wentriro. Thanks to Conrad Page and Russell Newman for helping us adapt the competition so that it could still go ahead safely.

Junior Theatresports

In Term 3 our Year 7 and 8 improvisers began their Theatresports training under the guidance of our coaches and student mentors. The Junior Theatresports program focuses on introducing students to the fundamentals of short-form group improvisation. Students learn how to make and extend offers, structure narrative scenes and develop characters and listen to one another in a fun, safe and supportive environment where collaboration is celebrated.

At the end of the term, our junior improvisers took to the O’Kelly Theatre stage to compete in two lunchtime competitions – one for our Year 7 teams and another for our Year 8 teams. Every performer improvised with confidence and gusto, creating hilarious scenes which were captured on film to be viewed by family and friends in the comfort of their own homes. ‘Meat Lovers’ with Harvey Cummins, Lachlan Caruana, Harrison Cook and Ashton Drew and ‘Step Bros’ with Charlie Biddle, Luke Carseldine, Ethan Francis and Oliver McDougall were crowned tie winners of our Year 7 competition. ‘Mission Impro-vable’ with Thomas Doyle, Cian McAweeney and Darcy Henry were our Year 8 winners. Thank you so much to all the boys who took part in this competition, to our coaches and to our judges Conrad Page, Louise Arnott, Amy Lester and Andrew McGovern.

Junior Theatresports also gave us a very special gift, which was precious time with Darcy Henry during his weekly training sessions with his team. Darcy embodied the spirit of Theatresports with his tremendous generosity, kindness and playfulness and we will always treasure the lunchtimes we spent laughing with him and watching him shine on the O’Kelly Theatre stage.

EPIC LIGHTSABER DUEL

Speech and Drama

CO-ORDINATOR: MS CASSANDRA COCHRANE

Who could have predicted a more dramatic year than this one? Despite the challenges of this unprecedented year, our boys made the most of the opportunity to develop their screen acting and voice over techniques during Term 2 – work which has had the knock-on effect of reminding them of the importance of key vocal skills such as clarity and articulation, varied vocal modulation, expression and pace. Listening to their own

recorded voice was a wake up call for some who were surprised to learn that they might mumble a bit or speak too fast! But our Zoom lessons were fun and engaging with plenty of humorous interactive improvisational tasks.

Semester 2 was a time for developing monologues and duologues and speeches for live performance and filming. Though we were not able to stage a live showcase recital in the O’Kelly Theatre as we normally would, everyone worked towards a performance for the camera - again, a new experience to perform without an audience, but many boys embraced the chance to record their work.

Additionally, we’ve also had a good deal of fun developing public speaking and improvisational skills during the year, and

we’ve workshopped, devised, and explored a broad range of texts and drama games and activities. All this work will provide a useful foundation as we head into 2021 with many exciting opportunities for live performance and the opportunity to participate in face-to-face Trinity College Drama and Communication exams.

One of my highlights this year was an epic lightsabre duel staged on the lawn outside - a bit of physical theatre choreographed with a rendition of a dramatic duologue scene from Star Wars!

Junior Musical Madagascar

DIRECTOR: MR MARTIN COLLINS

Madagascar, the greatest show you will never see! Well, hopefully you will see it one day, but sadly not 2020.

With auditions completed, songs rehearsed and leads having had a read through their parts, everyone was so excited to be putting on this wonderful show, then… COVID-19.

Even the old adage, ‘The show must go on’ couldn’t save us this time!

I would like to congratulate all the boys and girls who auditioned for the leads. It was a very difficult process, as it always is, to select the cast, but we had an exceptional group of leads who would have excelled had they been given the opportunity.

The leads were:

⁄ Alex Ju lian Criola

⁄ Marty Charlie Biddle

⁄ Gloria Lu lu Wrightson

⁄ Melman Angus Devlin

⁄ King Julien Archie Delany

⁄ Skipper Da niel Osborne

I do feel sad for those listed above and many others who were so excited to be doing the show. Not forgetting, of course, the engine room of the production, the chorus. We had over 100 students in total, so it certainly would have been a fun-filled, extravaganza of a show.

My thanks especially to Maria Lee, Musical Director; Kirk Hume, Producer; Angy Newey, Choreographer; Louella Perrett, Costume Designer and Peter Watters for all their hard work in getting the musical off and running. Hopefully we’ll have a chance to try again in 2022.

“We hope to move it, move it”

Music Co-curricular Overview

MR PETER WATTERS

It has been a year of resilience and adaptation for the Co-Curricular Music Program. All of our Music Ensembles commenced the year preparing repertoire for the upcoming yearly eisteddfods and concerts. The Junior Musical for 2020, ‘Madagascar’, began rehearsals with an enthusiastic cast involved in acting, singing and dancing. The Woods Music and Drama Private Tuition Program commenced with almost 370 students attending weekly lessons.

Unfortunately, in the middle of March, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and it became apparent that all rehearsals would cease. Music education and the music industry in Australia would be affected greatly during this time with all concerts, rehearsals and opportunities to perform live cancelled. Even as restrictions were lifted, we were prevented from returning to normal, as strict regulations were enforced with regards to singing, woodwind and brass instruments, as well as social distancing and co-mingling between year groups. Students have continued to rehearse individually at home during the isolation period and our Music and Drama Private Tuition Program has maintained close to 360 private and group tuition sessions via Zoom with great success.

On our return to the College after home lockdown, the Ensemble Directors organised socially distanced rehearsals and are to be congratulated on the amazing job they have

done. All large ensembles including Riverview Symphonic Wind Band, Riverview Big Band, Riverview Intermediate Concert Band and the Riverview Orchestra were moved from Woods Music Centre Auditorium to Ramsay Hall and then to the Study Hall in the Arrupe main building.

Whilst we have not been able to participate in many live performances, with the cancellation of annual events such as Riverview in Concert, the Chapel Concert, Eisteddfods and the Indian Bazaar, several groups were still able to present noteworthy performances. These included two ensembles performing for the Valete Ceremony. The Blue Notes presented the National Anthem, recorded individually and brought together via green screen, and the Drumline who provided a Guard of Honour leading a procession from Father Mac Pavillion along Loyola Drive to the Arrupe Main Building.

Mr James Walder is to be commended on his incredible effort in co-ordinating the Distanced Recording Project, with the Intermediate Concert Band performing ‘Sweet Caroline’ and the Regis Band playing ‘Sunset Serenade’, all from their own homes.

In the final weeks of school, our ensembles performed for the end of year award ceremonies for various year groups. The Intermediate Concert Band played ‘Havana’ by Camila Cabello for Years 7 and 8, the Big Band performed ‘Sway’ by Michael Buble for Years 9 and 10, and the Chamber Strings were featured at the Blue and White Ball.

We look forward to continuing to see our ensembles grow in 2021 with, hopefully, plenty of performance opportunities to display their enormous talents.

Music and Drama Private Tuition Program

CO-ORDINATOR:

MS TRISH SCHWAGER

2020 was a difficult year for the Music and Drama Private Tuition Programme. It has, however, continued to flourish, providing an opportunity for students to engage enthusiastically in an individual music and drama environment.

String, Woodwind, Brass, Percussion, Musicianship, Keyboard Instrumental and Drama Tuition is offered to any student who wishes to learn an instrument, with 18 different instruments taught by a dedicated staff of 30 tutors. The programme enables students to develop a unique ability to manage their own learning and serves as a pathway for further musical and dramatic experiences.

During 2020, participation in concerts, recitals, external examinations and, most importantly, the individual lessons, were reconfigured and moved to a digital platform. Creative thinking and determination enabled all private tutoring to continue using computer programmes throughout the latter part of Term 1 and all of Term 2. Concerns surrounding this distant learning for both students and tutors were quickly allayed by the unexpected learning advantages of Zoom tuition. The undeniably superior mode of face-to-face teaching, however, recommenced in Term 3 and was greeted with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

It has been a busy and productive year. The staff involved are to be congratulated for their consistent support, time, care and planning in fostering the impetus for students to enjoy and develop the wonderful world of music and drama.

IGNATIAN CHOIR THE BLUE NOTES

The Orchestra

MR PETER WATTERS

The Orchestra worked on a range of new repertoire this year including the classical ‘Marriage of Figaro Overture’ by WA Mozart, as well as more contemporary pieces including the ‘James Bond Theme’. They also continued to perfect the ‘golden standards’ of the past few years including ‘Pirates of Caribbean’, ‘Amadeus’, ‘Trepak’ and ‘Radetsky March’.

The Orchestra welcomed several new members from the junior years and, in the ebb and flow of school life, farewelled our Year 12 students Alex Peters (bassoon), Lachlan Healey (piano) and Chris Peters, who will be continuing his French Horn studies in a

Bachelor of Music performance degree at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music next year.

I would like to thank the Orchestra members for continuing to work on their parts during lockdown, and for coming back together in our new socially distanced format, with such enthusiasm and dedication. I would particularly like to thank Ms Nicole MurrayPrior for her assistance with the Orchestra this year, particularly for her work with the strings.

Chamber Strings

MRS ROSALIND GRAHAM

Having farewelled a few key students at the end of last year, it has been a developing year where younger members of the ensemble have stepped into leadership positions. We

also welcomed three new members into our ensemble of highly skilled string players.

We began the year with some interesting new repertoire including an arrangement for a string ensemble of ‘Hansel and Gretel’ by Engelbert Humperdinck. Other works have included a Mozart Serenade and the Finale of a Handel Concerto Grosso. These pieces have challenged the boys – not just in the technical difficulties of their parts but in terms of ensemble.

In Term 3, we combined with the Blue Notes for some rehearsals of Mozart’s serenely beautiful ‘Ave Verum Corpus’. This was an uplifting experience for both the choir and the Chamber Strings.

The latter part of the year was spent preparing to play at the Blue and White Graduation ceremony. We revised a few works from previous years and tried to prepare a substantial number of pieces to a high standard of performance.

It is a privilege to work with these talented young men. They are always enthusiastic and positive, even at 7.30 on a Tuesday morning, and give 100% focus in every rehearsal. Their confidence in music-making has developed greatly along with their ensemble technical skills. Whilst there have not been many performance opportunities in 2020, we have enjoyed having the rehearsal time to bring many works up to a high standard.

Intermediate String Ensemble

MR ARNE TRIPOLONE

The Intermediate String Ensemble currently has 13 boys from Years 5 to 9 who play violin, viola, cello and double bass. They have advanced considerably this year through learning a variety of demanding ensemble repertoire, their favourites including ‘In The Hall of the Mountain King’ by Grieg, ‘Salsa Verde’ by Sharp and ‘The Toreadors’ by Bizet. Intermediate Strings have enjoyed working on the techniques within these works, such as chromaticism, terraced dynamics, contrasting articulations and lyrical motifs.

Intermediate Strings have shown a preference for classical repertoire over popular repertoire, even with equal opportunity to learn music from both genres. This perhaps indicates that

despite the engaging allure of popular music, there is an equally strong need to work on the classics in advanced string ensemble settings.

Students are happy to attend Intermediate Strings at 7:30am on Monday - it’s a stimulating start to the week and the boys know they will have the opportunity to levelup their note-reading skills, make great music in harmony with friends and ask questions that will position them closer to excelling on their instrument.

As we move into 2021, many students will return to Intermediate Strings while others may move into different ensembles and new students will join us. Nevertheless, Intermediate Strings will continue to be an enjoyable and rigorous training ground for students developing into fine orchestral and chamber string musicians.

Ignatian Choir

MR KIRK HUME

It is always a great joy to walk into the Ignatian Choir rehearsal room and encounter so many boys who love to sing. This year the Ignatian Choir welcomed singers coming into the choir from the Regis Choir. These young singers included Alexander Bradley, Julian Criola, Archer Delany, Will Pettersson and James Rees-Woods. Inevitably we also farewelled our Year 12 singers, some of whom had first joined the College Choral Program in Regis many years before.

Ignatian Choir repertoire this year was partially inspired by music encountered on the 2019 Music Tour to the United States. On the first day of this tour students visited Harlem in New York, and were fortunate to hear first-hand the electrifying sound of a gospel choir in full-swing – something which truly has to be seen (and heard) to be believed. Shortly after, while visiting the Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn, we were invited to a Choir class in which students sang Richard Smallwood’s uplifting gospel song ‘I Will Sing Praises’. Back in Australia, the Ignatian Choir has taken to this song with great enthusiasm and the boys look forward very much to hopefully performing it for the College community in 2021.

On a different spiritual wavelength is the ethereal ‘On Compassion’, a song inspired by the words of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. This song interweaves a simple message of love and compassion with an ancient Tibetan mantra for peace. The boys entered into the spirit of this beautiful work and brought it to life with their voices. Again, we look forward to hearing this work in performance in the Dalton Chapel next year.

It is gratifying to see some of our Ignatian Choir singers making appearances elsewhere in College events and in the weekly Viewpoint as Performer of The Week. These singers include Ashton Cassar, Jack Thompson and Toby Bower.

In what has been a challenging year for singing in our nation, the Ignatian Choir has nevertheless held together and one way or the other continued to contribute to the musical life of the College.

The Blue Notes

MR KIRK HUME

In 2020, The Blue Notes continued to explore vocal gems of the Renaissance, Baroque and Classical periods as well as contemporary songs. Even while performing opportunities were limited, the boys continued to meet and rehearse at some distance from each other in the very friendly acoustic environment of the Dalton Chapel.

In Semester 1, before the introduction of COVID-19 restrictions, The Blue Notes were rehearsing Mozart’s motet ‘Ave Verum Corpus’ in one classroom while next door, the Chamber Strings were rehearsing the same piece arranged for string ensemble. When it became apparent that the two groups were rehearsing the same piece, it was decided to combine the two groups and rehearse the piece together. Anyone passing The Woods on their way into school early on a Tuesday morning would have been treated to a sublime blend of voices and strings carrying Mozart’s music out into the morning air.

The Blue Notes are an ensemble whose musical identity evolves each year depending on the boys who move into the group. The members of The Blue Notes in 2019/2020 were Jude Paddon-Row, James Fitzgibbon, Cameron Mayhew, Oliver Murrie, Alexander Peters, Christopher Peters, Lachlan Healey

and Eamon Bateman, who were notable for the high level of sight-reading ability, musicianship, performing experience and love of early vocal music. Some were also studying Music as part of their HSC.

Each year the Valete Assembly is a highlight of the College calendar. It is the occasion that we celebrate and honour the students on the verge of completing their secondary education and about to enter the next exciting stage of their lives. As public singing was prohibited for this large-scale event, it was a great honour for The Blue Notes to be asked to record the Australian national anthem that is traditionally sung at the start of the Assembly. Mr Michael Bellemore created a stirring arrangement of the anthem to accompany the boys’ voices.

Each of the boys learned their harmony part and sang it in isolation in front of a green screen, presenting their most patriotic demeanour to the camera. This was a very unnatural setting in which to perform but the boys met this challenge with great positivity and professionalism.

Through the magic of post-production technology, all Blue Notes were then reunited on screen singing Advance Australia Fair in four-part harmony against a stunning vista of Riverview from the air. This video added considerably to the overall quality of the Valete Assembly and was a fitting sign-off for a group that lifted the standard of ensemble singing during their time at Riverview.

Symphonic Wind Band

MR MICHAEL BELLEMORE

The boys in the Symphonic Wind Band have endeavoured to maintain their allegiance to and enthusiasm for the band during this very challenging time and I would like to thank them for their efforts. Many have maintained a regular practice routine which certainly enabled them to “keep their chops together” during the period when we were not practising regularly, which was very pleasing.

I introduced a few new arrangements this year including a medley of famous tunes with an ‘intergalactic’ theme called Space and Beyond. The boys enjoyed playing many of the famous tunes from this medley including Star Wars, Star Trek and Mars from the Planets Suite. I also introduced them to an Australian piece to pursue at competition level called ‘Gain Wisdom’.

The boys also elected to revisit some older material this year, particularly the Stevie Wonder Medley which is not only a fantastic arrangement, but a real challenge for them, and they seem to really enjoy playing it. During 2021 we look forward to some performances where we can show off the abilities of these talented boys once again.

I would like to pay tribute to the Year 12 students now leaving us, Alex Peters and Chris Peters and Dominic Marshall, and thank them for their long service to the band programme.

Intermediate Concert Band

MS SUE THOMAS

It has been an unusual year for us all, to say the least, but it has also been an enjoyable and successful year for the Intermediate Concert Band. We began the year by welcoming many new students bringing with them a variety of instruments and musical experience. We were particularly excited about having a tuba this year as well as a strong trumpet section and three percussionists. This enabled us

to explore and make the most of our brass section in the repertoire that we chose for the ensemble.

The year began under the experienced baton of Mr James Walder who guided and instructed the band. In spite of some students not knowing each other initially, they quickly learned to work together and to actively listen for rhythm, pitch, blend and dynamics. As Term 1 progressed we had to adapt to the changing learning environment and our rehearsals were conducted online.

We had the opportunity to play a variety of music this year, from the swing style of ‘Cruise Control’ to favourites including ‘Sweet Caroline’ and ‘Yesterday’. To make the most of our brass section we played the Irish hymn ‘Be Thou My Vision’, which taught

students the importance of intonation and blending. In Term 4 we finished with ‘Havana’ by Camilla Cabello, with its Latin groove and catchy melodic lines and ‘Superheroes R Us’, a medley of heroic themes, including Superman, the James Bond Theme, the Batman Theme and Soul Bossa Nova.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the students in the Intermediate Concert Band for their resilience and determination this year. Despite of not being able to play as an ensemble, they were flexible and willing to try new ways of rehearsing and recording. Music playing is an important part of their education and I have witnessed the students grow in confidence and competence. They should all be very proud of their musical and personal growth throughout the year.

I would also like to thank Mr James Walder very much for directing the band in Semester 1. He did an amazing job of keeping the band rehearsing and playing in difficult circumstances, and spent many hours putting the video footage together for ‘Sweet Caroline’ and I was very touched by their rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’ which they performed for me.

Thank you all for your commitment to the Intermediate Concert Band and I look forward to another rewarding year of music making in 2021.

Riverview Big Band

MR PETER WATTERS

The Riverview Big Band is entering an exciting stage of its development, with a complete balance of instruments and a full big band sound. Our Big Band members are all very capable musicians who have worked cohesively and enthusiastically with outstanding results. We also welcomed several new members who had graduated from the Intermediate Big Band. The Big Band repertoire this year included ‘Sway’,

‘Moondance’ and ‘Crunchy Frog’, and we have revisited our ‘classic hits’ with ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’, ‘In the Stone’ and ‘Higher Ground’.

I would like to thank Mr Danny Carmichael for his assistance with the Big Band this year and pay particular gratitude to our departing Year 12 students, Thomas Hatzidis (drums), Alex Hoffman (trumpet), Hugo Taranto (trombone), Lachlan Healey (piano) and Cameron Mayhew (vocals) - many of whom have been Big Band members throughout most of their time at the College.

Intermediate Stage Band

MR SAM GILL

2020 has been a year of transformation for the Intermediate Stage Band. A number of senior members graduated into the Riverview Big Band, with the Intermediate group working with a small, dedicated group of seven members for much of the year. Term 4 has seen the band welcome a number of new members, particularly in the trumpet and trombone sections, returning the group to a full stage band force.

Although there have been few performance opportunities this year, weekly rehearsals have seen the band working on some exciting new repertoire, including the jazz classic ‘Take the A Train’, composed by Billy Strayhorn for the Duke Ellington Orchestra. This tune features lengthy sections of intricate ensemble work which the band members have done well to collectively develop. Another key piece has been ‘Sing, Sing, Sing’ composed by Louis Prima and most famously recorded in 1937 by Benny Goodman and his big band. This tune offers the band a sequence of swinging ensemble riffs as well as an energetic drum solo.

Drumline

MR SHAUN TARRING

2020 was a year of reflection and growth for the drumline. Senior members reflected on their time as part of the drumline – the experiences earned and lessons learned – and they continued to grow as they moved on to focus on their exams. They passed the torch on to their drumline colleagues and encouraged new students to carry on the tradition at Riverview.

In Term 1, the drumline started the year strong by learning new skills such as coordination, reading, technique, drumline visuals and marching formations, along with new repertoire and preparing for upcoming performances. Current members were also promoted to new instruments, each with unique responsibilities within the ensemble. However, before our first performance could take place, the drumline took an extended break during the lockdown and waited until rehearsals could safely resume.

In Term 3, the drumline returned to rehearsing each week, continuing their development from Term 1. The boys had a successful performance at the 2020 Year 12 Valete Celebrations by leading the Guard of Honour and seeing off this year’s graduating cohort. Being the first performance of the year, the boys took up the commitment with excitement and focus. This performance also saw some of the members of drumline performing for the first time. Through successful leadership from senior members,

excellent teamwork and co-operation, the drumline brought a performance together that made this drumline director proud.

In Term 4, the drumline invited new members to join the ensemble whilst focusing on learning new repertoire for performances at the end of the year and the beginning of next year. New students also joined the drumline, and current members advanced to different sections to prepare for their roles within the ensemble next year.

Emmanuel Guitar Ensemble

MR RICHARD CICHOCKI

The Emmanuel Guitar Ensemble is for students from Years 7 to 12, with a repertoire consisting of music from classical to Latin and popular styles. This year we had two groups. The first semester involved Year 11 and 12 students, and this group was unfortunately

only able to play for a short time due to COVID restrictions. The second semester consisted of students from Years 7 to 10; while their playing opportunities were diminished, we still managed to keep the students hopeful and inspired. We introduced bass guitar into the Ensemble this year and are looking at potentially including some percussion in future.

All the students involved have enjoyed playing in the Emmanuel Guitar Ensemble. They acquired some great skills including improvising and technical achievement, and we look forward to performing in front of an audience next year.

The Senior Percussion Ensemble

MS ALISON PRATT

The Senior Percussion Ensemble started with seven members at the beginning of the yearthree Year 12s, one Year 11, and three Year 10s. The boys commenced the year working on a piece called ‘Volume Pig’ by the New Zealand composer Gareth Farr. It is written for percussion quartet - a combination of drums, mallet instruments and some small auxiliary percussion instruments. I had two players doubling three of the parts.

By Term 3, unfortunately the three Year 12s left and one of the Year 10s dropped out of the Ensemble due to a clash with rugby training, so the Ensemble was down to three members! The parts were re-distributed to the three remaining players and I am now playing the fourth part.

It has been a great learning curve for the remaining ensemble members - two of whom had to learn new parts. They have all had to be more responsible and it has given them all more confidence. I have enjoyed being a playing member of the ensemble, not just the conductor! We are hoping to video record ‘Volume Pig’ so that the piece can be heard and enjoyed by the community of Riverview.

I look forward to introducing some new younger players (Year 8 upwards) to the Ensemble early next year.

MASTER IN CHARGE:

MR JOSH FLANNIGAN (OR2005)

The 2020 season certainly won’t be soon forgotten, as what promised to be a fantastic season in AFL ended up being a very challenging one. Whilst this wasn’t what we had in mind for the fantastic cohort of Year 12s in their final year of AFL at Riverview, once we got our heads around the environment we were now playing in, we did our best to knuckle down and get on with our work.

After months of planning and huge excitement from the boys, our tour to Melbourne, which was scheduled for the Term 1 holidays, was called off as the early and ominous signs of COVID-19 started to surface. At the time, we had no idea how significant or long lasting the impact would be… and we definitely didn’t expect that we would spend much of the season training in small groups, with no contact, and washing balls after every session!

Our AFL teams were confined to playing against GPS schools, of which not all put forward teams. So, in certain age groups, we didn’t have many teams to play against. It wasn’t an ideal scenario by any stretch, but when compared to students in Melbourne, who were unable to play any form of sport for the winter season, the general sentiment amongst our community was gratitude.

The 1st XVIII found themselves playing archrival Newington so many times that I believe our players probably knew all their opponents’ names and set plays by the end. They provided great competition throughout, which culminated in a great win on a torrentially wet Friday night at Bat & Ball Oval to send our Year 12s off in style. The contests against Shore and Joeys were also tough, physical and we were pushed the whole way. The leadership of Captain Oscar Davis and Coach David Murphy were first rate, and the playing group was also extremely happy to welcome back the Team Captains from 2019, Joe Finsterer and Sam Austin, as Assistant Coaches.

Our 2nd XVIII team was also extremely competitive, despite playing the 1st XVIII of other schools on occasion, with their fighting spirit evident whenever they took to the field. I’d like to commend Coach Damien Reidy, who transitioned across to AFL (via Gaelic Football and Rugby) incredibly well and has the amazing talent of engaging the group when he talks. We are blessed to have him now firmly entrenched in our AFL community at Riverview, and he was supported well by Assistant Coach Harry Mainsbridge.

The Year 9/10 Divisions had a very creative format, which saw a reduced field and reduced numbers. It was pretty tough going some weeks, but the coaches and boys in this age group got along famously and had a lot of fun. The Year 7/8 Divisions spent 2020 getting very acquainted with their counterparts at Shore, who were our only opponent after St Pats and Redlands exited the competition with 4-5 rounds still to play. We had a fantastic

coaching cohort led by ‘the man who walks between raindrops,’ Nathan Strempel, for whom I’m tremendously grateful as an integral part of Riverview AFL (and Basketball).

Unfortunately, there was no representative or state football to speak of in 2020.

I was personally inspired by the fantastic attitude of our players and our AFL parents, who rarely (if at all) complained and really made the most of a challenging situation in 2020. It certainly drove the coaching team forward to give the players the best experience possible and help them grow as footballers –which is what we’re aiming for at the end of the day.

I would like to thank Tim Ross, who co-ordinates the program with me and is amazing at it; our Parent Managers who volunteer their time and do a great job of bringing the AFL community together; all our coaches (we are lucky to have a fantastic young group on board); our strength and conditioning team led by Chris Bartels and Dan Cosenza; Marko our physio who provided great support; and our age group managers, Nathan Strempel and Joe Finsterer. Great job all.

And of course, I want to pay tribute to the school, who took on a massive challenge for which there was no blueprint. There was often not a ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to do things – just trial, err, reflect, refine and adapt. Thanks to the Co-curricular team, especially Andrew Szabo, Paul O’Brien and Terri Lowe.

Onwards and upwards in 2021.

COACH: MR DAVID MURPHY

This season will be remembered for the challenges of the COVID Pandemic Premiership. Once again, Riverview was blessed with strong numbers in the open trials and due to COVID-19 there was actually a month-long pre-season which enabled strong preparation for the open squads.

Following on from our disappointing finish in 2019 after not being crowned premiers after three straight undefeated seasons, the playing group were keen to return to the winner’s circle again in 2020. The leadership of Oscar Davis, Christian Taylor, Henry Pringle, Harry Clubb and Patrick Browne was outstanding; they were the drivers behind the team-first attitude and led the squad by example during training and on game day.

After three trial game wins including one epic win against Waverley College, the draw was released with only the GPS schools

participating in the competition. The season began with a hard fought 25-point win over Shore who were in front by 5 points at half time in testing conditions on 4th Field. The momentum swung in the second half when Harvey Parmenter went into the ruck and gave first use of the ball to our midfielders, Lachlan Howarth, Tom Duffy and Patrick Browne, who capitalised and drove the ball forward to an in-form Sam Kelly (5 goals), Cian Campbell (2 goals) and Harry Martin (2 goals). This was a mighty effort showing that this team had resolve and belief to be able to come from behind to achieve victory.

The final game against Newington also turned out to be a blockbuster clash. It was inspiring to watch the players enjoy playing awesome team football in an epic game that no team deserved to lose. Football was the real winner on the night.

Congratulations to our representative players Felix Rogers and Oscar Davis who all were selected in the NSW Rams teams squads.

Thanks to all parents for their support throughout a very challenging year and for their encouragement and support of the boys during the season. A huge thank you to our

very passionate team manager Sarah Martin who is now finally hanging up her clipboard after managing teams at Riverview for the best part of 15 years; to our dynamic MIC Mr Josh Flanagan and to the Assistant Coach and ex Gaelic football champ, Mr Damien Reidyyour enthusiasm was contagious throughout the season.

Bring on 2021!

2nd XVIII

COACH: MR DAMIEN REIDY

Like most events in 2020, our season will be remembered as much for the challenges and restrictions we had to overcome as it will for action on the field. In May when we first came together, whether we would have any season to look forward to was very much in doubt. Thankfully due to the trojan work of people like Josh Flanagan and the foresight of Government and School administration, we were able to proceed, albeit involving a truncated format.

Training activities being restricted to year groups and training with minimal body contact became common place. Maintaining strict hygiene standards and parent involvement being largely restricted to transport became the norm. Despite these

restrictions, the boys embraced the challenges in a positive and creative fashion and were determined to have a season that we could all remember and be proud of.

At training we identified skill development under pressure, appreciation and understanding of tactics, striving for excellence, fostering leadership and enjoyment as essential targets. The boys took ownership of this process and displayed humility and selflessness on a regular basis. I believe being immersed in this culture played a big part in us enjoying such a successful season and saw us emerge victorious in the tight battles.

Outside of our fixtures against Riverview’s and St Joseph’s College’s 1st XVIII we enjoyed an undefeated season. Considering we played largely top graded sides, this was quite an achievement. Central to this success was the boys’ commitment to incremental improvement, strong work ethic, belief in team ethos and ability to make good decisions under pressure. At all times

they demonstrated pride in representing themselves, their families and their school.

There were many highlights but our performance in the penultimate round against a Newington 1st XVIII was particularly rewarding. We eventually prevailed by one point and the Riverview spirit and pride in the jersey was never more in evidence.

Every week it was a pleasure to witness the adventure and daring of the boys. I am loath to single out individuals because we strived to be defined by our sense of team, but it would be remiss of me not to mention Alex Pettit’s performances which led to him justifiably receiving our Player of the Year Award.

In summary, I am humbled to have been given the opportunity to be involved with such a fine group of young men. Watching them grow and develop was very rewarding. We had a lot of fun together and I know the boys enabled me to grow as a person. I want to wish our Year 12 men every happiness and success in the future and look forward to reconnecting with the younger men in the future.

Year 9/10 Divisions

Year 9/10 Division 1

AGE GROUP MANAGER & COACH:

MR TIM ROSS

The 9/10s AFL season was highly disjointed, but it was great to see an enthusiastic response from the whole cohort, with their passion for playing the game prevailing above these unprecedented circumstances.

To start the season, due to the other schools’ low numbers for year 9/10 AFL, we were forced to play AFL 9-a-side games for the start of the season. Despite a period of adjustment, the boys relished the opportunity to play a higher pace form of AFL, which enabled them to sharpen their basic skills. Full 18-aside matches happened towards the end of the season, with the emergence of Division 1 and Division 2 teams for the last half.

For the Division 1 team, three games contested in total, one against Shore, and

two against archrivals Newington. The first match against Newington saw us comfortably beaten, which led to an extra intensity in the second match against Shore, keeping them scoreless throughout most of the game. The final game against Newington was a game for the ages, with both teams going back and forth as the rain began to pour. Riverview emerged triumphant, 6.9 45 to 2.5 17. A great way to end the season, with a game that everyone involved will remember.

For the Division 2 team, a rivalry was formed with Newington, with three matches played against their Division 2 and 1 teams. While Newington put on a clinical display, our Division 2 boys put in some impressive performances, culminating in a clash with Newington’s Division 2 in the final match. Unfortunately, a disjointed warm-up at the beginning of our last game proved costly, with Newington going into the 2nd quarter 5 goals up. Our boys came back strong for the rest of the game, showing some great development both individually and as a team, but the 1st quarter deficit was too much to overcome, eventually going down by 3 goals. Despite not getting the results we were hoping for, the coaches were very impressed with the development of the players, with a lot of them getting the call-up to the Division 1 side throughout the season.

I cannot thank our teams enough for remaining so passionate each week, and to many of our parents who significantly helped throughout the season with game day duties and providing greater pick-up and drop-off services due to the COVID circumstances. We certainly look forward to the bounce back season next year and to see a few of the Division 1 players compete for 1st XVIII spots.

Year 7/8 Division 1

COACH: MR NICHOLAS O’SULLIVAN

Right from the first training session, the 2020 AFL season was met with continual roadblocks, however, there was no doubt that it was still going to be highly enjoyable. Despite the season remaining in jeopardy, the Year 7/8 squad still came to every training and game with an eagerness to learn and have fun.

Going into the season, the Division 1 side were labelled as favourites for the competition, which is never a good title to have, however the boys never became complacent and exceeded the high expectations set throughout the season. The group consisted of a core group of Year 8 players who enjoyed a successful season in Division 1 during the 2019 season, mixed with an influx of skillful Year 7 boys, setting the platform for what is going to be an incredible age-group as they progress throughout their time at the College.

The season kicked off with a convincing victory over St Patricks College, a highlight being Stefan Martin kicking a couple of goals on his AFL debut. The likely suspects of Luke Bannerman, Toby Ryan and Austin Orsini stepped up, showing their class and skill developed over many years playing the game, and the unearthing of Year 7 gun Heath

Mercer, whose slick movements and precise kicking off halfback provided the ultimate platform to attack.

The season was once again put on hold, and upon return, we discovered we would only be competing against Shore for the remainder of the season. Nonetheless, the group showed up to training sessions and games with the hunger and fight synonymous with Riverview AFL. A highlight of the season was the boy’s sportsmanship, with their willingness to turn their jerseys inside out and play for the opposition, as well as players volunteering to have some time on the bench with no substitution, both in order to even the contest and make the game more enjoyable for Shore.

On the final Saturday of the season, the whole Year 7/8 AFL cohort took part in a training session which included many fun intersquad competitions, and as the Shore squad made their way onto the ground following our session, the boys, led by the leadership group, formed a guard of honour for them. This notion of appreciation speaks volumes of the maturity of the Year 7/8 squad, and in a year like no-other, the boys have continued with incredible enthusiasm and eagerness to learn, with all players improving immensely throughout the season.

The Year 7/8 playing squad should be highly commended for showing great sportsmanship and Ignatian values, being true “men for others”.

Year 7/8 Division 2

COACH: MR NICK ARMSTRONG

The Years 7/8 Division 2 teams started the season with an even complement of players from across the year groups and some exciting first year players. An outstanding number of boys were playing their first AFL season and it didn’t take long for them to impress the coaches. Despite split training, the boys managed to gel together on game days and reveal some great team chemistry and promising talent.

The boys were only beginning to find their groove when COVID-19 halted competition. When the season was allowed to resume, the competition pool decreased, our two Division 2 teams merged into one, and Shore’s 7/8 team became our weekly Saturday opponents. Nonetheless, the attitude and commitment of the boys to these changes were commendable – they were glad to be back on the field each Saturday, playing great footy.

An example of the determination and spirit of this group of boys is their performance in the second fixture against shore. Riverview was beaten convincingly the week before, but after a great week at training and a positive mindset, we ended up flipping the result from the week before and beating Shore convincingly. This is a testament to the boys and the culture of the group. As many emerging talents have now got their first season of AFL under their belts, we look forward to a big season next year.

Basketball

PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR: MR OLIVER STENMARK

Across the College, Basketball has the largest number of students in terms of participation. We field over 50 Basketball teams from the Regis 12 team right up to the 1st V. It is a huge undertaking and involves the participation of over 600 students, more than 50 coaches, age group coordinators, coaching coordinators, strength and conditioning staff, referees and medical staff. It has been my pleasure to oversee the program for the last two years.

In the senior program competition teams, we only lost a couple of games and finished in the top 2-3 schools, which shows the great strength of the game of Basketball at Riverview. Across the junior teams there is a wealth and depth of talent and love of the game that is infectious.

I sincerely thank all the boys who have committed to the game this season, the coaches for their time, care and expertise, the officials, statisticians and finally the parents for their unwavering support. My hope is that the 2021 season will be even better.

COACH: MR DANIEL KOVACIC

Placed 4th | GPS Competition

Defending the College’s GPS Basketball Championship was always going to be a huge ask, given that last year’s team all graduated from the College; on the other hand, the team now consisted of boys who had won an undefeated 2nds GPS Premiership the previous year. Regardless, previous season form and results mean nothing in the cutthroat nature of a 7 game GPS competition.

The pre-season commenced in Term 3 and with much to learn, the team put their heads down and went about improving every practice session. We ended the Term 4 trials with 3 wins and 3 losses. Over the holidays we took part in the Division 1 Competition at the National Basketball Championships in Melbourne. We knew this level of competition was always going to be tough,

and unfortunately, we dropped the semi-final to a very classy team from St Joseph’s, Fern Tree Gully.

With plenty of basketball under our collective belt in Term 4, there was an air of optimism in the team that we were capable of beating anyone if we put it together on the day. The first round of the GPS competition threw us into the deep end against a large and physical Newington team, but with five players scoring in double figures, led by Chan Deng with 13 points and 9 rebounds, we won a remarkable 25 point victory over a highly favoured Newington team 70-45. This gave the team a great springboard for the remaining weeks.

Some incredible games followed as we beat Shore, Grammar and Kings and were beaten by Sydney Boys’ and Scots (the eventual winners) before COVID-19 brought an early end to the season. In the end, the boys finished 4th with a record of four wins, two losses and a forfeit.

Congratulations to Henry Anderson and Chan Deng for their selection to the GPS 2nds representative teams; unfortunately, the rep season never eventuated but it was a great reward for their season efforts. This team was made up of a range of boys from different

years and the future looks bright for Riverview basketball with Max Threlkeld, Charlie Cook, Charlie Ballhausen and Lucas Visscher sure to be huge contributors to the program in coming years.

In my final season of a long relationship with Riverview Basketball, I want to say how proud I am of the boys this season who stepped up in difficult circumstances and played 150% every game and with the right spirit and the fantastic culture that is Riverview Basketball. I would like to thank Mr Jim Arkell, whom I have worked alongside for many years, for his great mentorship; too Jamie Szabo, ex-Riverview Captain of Basketball and up and coming coach, for stepping in during the Scots game in my absence and for his level of knowledge and commitment to the game; to Michael Dela Cruz who took over the role created by Dale Clarke in leading the culture of the game; to Oliver Stenmark, MIC of Basketball for his support; to Sportsmasters Wes Dunne, Jono Harvey and Paul O’Brien for their tireless work over the last 10 years that I have been associated with Riverview, and to Mr Andrew Szabo, Head of Co-curriculum, for his support of the great game of basketball.

COACH: MR JIM ARKELL

Placed 2nd | GPS Competition

After a successful 2019 season where both the 1st and 2nd teams were GPS premiers, the coaching staff wondered how on earth we were going to match those results.

We had players from all years attend the trials, including Julian Reynolds from Year 7. He showed enough to be selected in the 2nds squad and his selection proved that if you are good enough, your age does not matter. We were lucky to have the bruise brothers, Bill Delany and Ben Luckman, as senior members of the squad.

The team worked very hard at practice and this resulted in the team going through Term 4 undefeated, winning the Yeend final against Shore by two points.

We attended the Australian Schoolboys tournament and without senior players

Delany and Luckman, other members of the team had plenty of court time. Although wins were hard to come by, the experience received was invaluable. Julian Reynolds cemented himself as starting point guard.

After the Christmas break, the team had a successful pre-season tournament at Trinity, which put us in good stead for our first competition game against Newington. An early win against Newington was followed by defeat against Shore, whom we’d beaten in the Yeend final. Smarting from that experience, our team went on to beat Grammar, Sydney Boys’ and Kings’ all in a row.

In the penultimate game, we hosted Scots College and managed to beat them by two points, thus remaining in contention. The final game of the season was against Joeys at Joeys, and we were relying on Newington to defeat Shore and for us to defeat Joeys which would mean a co-premiership with both Newington and Shore. The first half of our game was fiercely contested and at half time we were ahead by three points. At this time, the Headmasters of Joeys and Riverview decided to call the game off owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. We were the only game called off that day and as luck would have it, Newington did defeat Shore. I have no doubt that we would have won the contest at Joeys thus

giving the Riverview 2nds four premierships in a row. I feel bitterly disappointed for the team that they could not bask in the glory of being GPS premiers.

It would be remiss of me not to make special mention of two of the players from this team who displayed remarkable team loyalty and cohesion: firstly, Bill Delany who led this team from the front with his never-say-die attitude and ability as a leader, and secondly Julian Reynolds, the youngest member of the Senior squads – keep working on your game and with the talent you possess, the future looks bright.

Cricket

MASTER IN CHARGE: MR GEOFF TESORIERO

2019-20 would have to go down as the most bizarre season I have ever experienced. From severe droughts, bush fires, smoke hazards, extreme heat, torrential rain and storms and, to finish the season off, what will be forever known in history, the COVID-19 pandemic. After all this, the season for our 1st XI came down to the final 30 minutes waiting with anticipation from the heavy rain and the results of the Shore and Scots game.

Ultimately, all matches on the final day were washed out which led – for the first time in over 100 years – a triple GPS 1st XI Cricket Premiership with Riverview, Shore and Scots. This confluence saw cricket historians visit the archives to find similar occurrences only three times in 122 competitions over 128 years.

In the instance where the NSW Champion Cricket School competition proceeds there can only be one AAGPS representative, and this is decided by the final quotients for the 2019-20 GPS 1st XI Cricket Joint Premiers. Fortunately, Riverview ended up on top and will play the NSW Champion Cricket School competition later in the year. This is the College’s 14th Cricket Premiership, and the 12th in the last 40 seasons which is the most of any school in that time, and Mr Rodgers’ sixth as the coach.

During the summer holidays the 1st XI played host for a three-day match against Xavier College. This is a great experience as many of the team will never get the opportunity again to play a three-day match. It was a fantastic event that saw many of the boys form new friendships and experience billeting someone into their families.

The 2nd XI is a premiership the College has been trying to achieve since the last time they won it back in 1994. Halfway through the season the team was in a great position sitting equal top of the ladder. In the end, the 2nd XI finished up in 5th position with two wins, three losses and two draws. The 2nd XI is the hardest team to coach due to the vast range of ages and what each individual is wanting to achieve from the season. I am very proud of the players and they have set a great standard

of the importance of representing the College in the 2nd XI team.

In January, the 2nd XI squad flew to Toowoomba to play in the annual Cricket Festival, this time hosted by the Downlands College. It provides the players invaluable experience travelling as a team and learning about the game at a higher level, as well as a great pathway for the students to prepare them for First Grade in future seasons.

We saw many College and AAGPS records broken this season:

⁄ Zac Kalogerou and Adam Sidhu put on a 301-run opening stand

⁄ Matthew Sidhu took 8-51 and he also took a double hat-trick

⁄ The season saw 11 ‘fifers’ in an innings and six centuries

⁄ Hat-tricks to Joseph Maguire (16B), Joel Russell (16B) and Benjamin Spicer (14C)

Representative honours included:

⁄ Adam Sidhu and Matthew Sidhu were selected for the combined GPS Opens Team.

⁄ Matthew Sidhu was selected for the U15 NSW and after being the leading wicket taker at the U15 State Championship, was then selected for the U16 Australian Squad.

⁄ Nick Newton and Henry Madigan were selected for the U15 Chairman’s XI with Toby Mallon also being selected and then making the U15 CIS Squad.

It’s important to focus on the lower agegroups to help develop and prepare them for when they reach the senior level teams. It was extremely encouraging to see the 16A and 16B teams dominate their opponents throughout the season to finish undefeated. The agegroup showed incredible camaraderie and were extremely self-motivated, continually encouraging each other to train hard and fight until the final ball. Between the two teams they took two five-wicket hauls, two hat-tricks and three centuries.

The strength and depth of all four U13 cricket teams saw them lose only three matches across the whole age group, with the 13As narrowly losing just one match in the final against Scots and the 13Bs going through undefeated.

To conclude the summer season, our 1st XI host a Celebrity XI in the T20 Cricket Charity Bash. Now in its 10th year, the event has grown and while the match was unable to be played due to the COVID-19 this year, the online auctions and raffle tickets raised over $20,000 with all the proceeds going to Redfern Jarjum College.

Winning the Ignatian Cricketer of the Year is a great honour. This is awarded to someone who has devoted a lot of time and energy in representing the school in cricket at the highest level – not just in performances, but in leadership and integrity. Zachary Kalogerou demonstrated this and is a worthy recipient of the award.

1st XI | GPS Co-Premiers

2019-20 was a season of weather events, biblical in their ferocity: smoke-filled atmosphere combined with searing heat gave way to flooding rains which was only a preliminary to the virus that eventually closed schools and much of the country.

Preparation began in May 2019 with surveys, opinions, ideas, consultations, planning, all put together before we bowled a ball.

The result? Rags to riches. Last to first. Wooden spooners to premiers.

This was our 14th 1st XI Premiership (12 of which have come since the ground-breaking season of 1980) and our third in the last five seasons.

And from all those little things leading up to the season, big things grew. Examples:

⁄ Vs Shore. Tom Easy clean bowled the Shore opener with the first ball of the match. The discipline of bowling line and length, honed by dedicated hours at training.

⁄ Vs Newington. Early in the game, Adam Sidhu threw the stumps down from side on to precipitate a collapse. All the energetic fielding training where throws consistently hit the stumps, paid off consistently on the field.

⁄ Vs Shore. Will Thorp’s admirable 72 won us a tight match. The value of batting deep and the work with the lower order (no tailenders) at training enabled us to recover from 5-82 to 265 all out and to pass Shore’s score 7 down.

⁄ Vs Grammar. After playing carefully through four consecutive maidens, left hander Zac Kalogerou deftly turned a ball off his hip for a single. The result? A turnover of strike. A right hander (Adam Sidhu) then on strike. No need to hit our way out of containment. An eventual opening stand of 176.

⁄ Vs King’s. Matthew Sidhu’s remarkable hat-trick (which followed his masterful 8-51 vs Grammar). All three safely caught on the boundary. Another result of intense fielding routines that made our catching safe, secure and inevitable.

⁄ Vs St Joseph’s. A clinical team display of focus and execution.

There were many other highlights as our players, led by the unflappable Archie Cornell, played with insouciant enjoyment as they bonded easily. They enjoyed our relaxed concentration atmosphere. They worked hard. They did extraordinary things:

⁄ We chased down an imposing 323 against Sydney High as Adam Sidhu and Zac Kalogerou put on an all-time Riverview record 301 for the first wicket. Long periods of concentration and relaxation were the sujets de jour

⁄ We secured 1st innings points on the first day vs Newington which put us in the lead after Round 4, a lead that we never surrendered.

⁄ We will represent GPS in the NSW Champion Schools’ competition later in the year as we had the best quotient of the three premiers.

I express my gratitude to all the players who thoroughly enjoyed their success; to their parents and families for their unqualified support, encouragement, optimism, belief; to Mr Andrew Szabo and Mr Paul O’Brien, as their enthusiasm for all sports at Riverview is inspirational; to Andrew Walters and the 2nd XI players who gave us

much strength and ability in reserve; to our specialist coaches, Mr Oliver Zannino, Mr Joe O’Sullivan, and Mr Brett Benkenstein for their expertise and the ease with which they contributed immeasurably to our side; to Mr Geoff Tesoriero who only knows whole-heartedness, enthusiasm, energy, and an uncanny ability to say ‘yes’ and then to work out how to make it happen; to Mr Peter Steffan, our scorer – humble, unobtrusive, reliable, an engaging companion, another whose immediate reply is ‘yes’; to my assistant coach, Mr Rhys Williams who, as a recent 1st Grader with Bankstown, earned the deep respect of each player. He’s a teacher and coach of the highest quality and integrity who has been able to savour a premiership for the first time at this level; and finally, and especially, my own family who have been unconditionally encouraging, understanding and loving.

So, we flew under the radar. We climbed the mountain until we reached the peak. We left no stone unturned. We played with ‘one foot raised’ poised for action.

Rarely has a side worked so hard for such well-earned rewards.

Placed 5th | GPS Competition

Season 2019-20 proved to be one of inconsistencies, with some tremendous performances and more sobering ones keeping us on our toes. However, success is not determined by results alone, and the development of these young men both on and off the field has been plain to see.

We finished the GPS season fifth, losing just three matches. Such was the closeness of the competition this season that we were in equal first position going into Round 5 where we suffered a heart-breaking 10 run loss to eventual joint premiers Sydney Grammar. Indeed, we were only out of the race for the premiership after our penultimate Round 6 loss to the other joint premier, The King’s School. Round 7 was abandoned.

Our journey began in August with the first pre-season sessions. Moving towards the October holidays, a competitive squad was beginning to take shape. With many of last season’s 2nd XI leaving or making the jump to the 1sts, it was to be a raw developing side with much potential to be unlocked.

The holiday trials produced mixed results but saw improvements with each session. A trip to fortress Parramatta to face last season’s premiers King’s for our first Term 4 trial promised to be a tough initiation. We surprised everyone with an 18-run victory due to a fine innings from Charlie Brooks (67) at the top of the order and Jack Matthews (55*), whose 18 ball 50 was some of the best hitting you will see.

The highlight of our season was Round 2 – not simply because we dominated the opposition, but the way in which the batsmen responded after the disaster at Scots the week before. There was no hesitation from our top order in wanting to bat first and we would do it in style, finishing the day 9-308 from 80 overs. We were the first side to hit 300 at McKay Oval in 33 years. We dismissed high for 153 with Ben Mansfield again taking 3 wickets.

Over the course of the season, the players showed much character and development in their games. I look forward to seeing many of this side push up into the 1sts next season and a big thank you to the Year 12s. You have helped set the standards for the younger players and did yourselves proud as Riverview Cricketers.

Cross Country

PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR: MRS CATHALINA WALSH

The COVID-19 pandemic forced many sports to either cancel or restructure their format and the 2020 GPS Cross Country program had to adapt to some changes as well. For the first time in history the GPS cross country was completed in a round-robin format with schools north and south of the Harbour Bridge. Unfortunately, these changes affected the ability to field a senior team due to the clash with HSC exams.

The College entered enthusiastic and competitive Intermediate and Junior teams weekly with both teams finishing 3rd in the round-robin among schools north of the Harbour. Congratulations to the Intermediate team of Marc Girard, Timothy Richards, Zachary Nandlal, Xavier Morgan and Daniel Hopper who all ran personal bests at the final Intermediate Championship.

Congratulations to the Junior team of Oliver Perkins, Henry Merrick, Thomas Poynton (Year 6) and Luca La Spina who all put in personal best performances at the Junior Championships, with Year 6 student Thomas Poynton leading the way and placing second.

Well done to all the boys for all their hard work and commitment through the season. A special thank you to our wonderful Captain Patrick Lucas and Vice-Captain Oliver Murrie as well as senior student Charles Stretch who made every effort to try to stay involved with the program encouraging our younger athletes as well as assisting the staff.

Thank you to everyone in the Co-curriculum department who contributed to our crosscountry season and to the parents for your patience and support during the constant changes. On behalf of myself and all our coaches, we look forward to the season ahead.

MASTER IN CHARGE:

MR ANDREW SZANDURSKI

At the beginning of the 2021 year, all Senior and Junior students in the College fencing team trained on Monday and Tuesday afternoons and Saturday morning.

We focused on preparations for the new competition season which includes the NSW Schools Championship, Schools Competition and State Championships. We also planned a series of trainings/competitions with students from Sydney Boys’ High School, St Aloysius’ College and Barker College.

From the middle of March until 21 July due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Government restrictions we had to pause all training activities for the Fencing squad. In these challenging times, students found themselves in a totally different world. Confronted with the huge task of having to deal with the social isolation of not going to school, no structure or routine, as well as insufficient physical activity and a lack of contact with their friends. To help to minimise the impact of the lockdown some Riverview students took part in organised individual lessons in outdoor fencing training which helped to improve their fitness, fencing footwork and fencing techniques.

After returning to School in Term 3, we started preparatory trainings for an internal school competition and the College Championships, as well as preparing for the commencement of the new season.

Our task was not only to improve their fencing techniques and strategies but also to prepare the student psychologically after returning to relatively normal training activities.

All Senior fencers work together with Regis campus students and as a result of this cooperation junior fencers have made a great progress in their skills.

At the end of Term 3 we organised our annual College Fencing Championships.

Students fenced in three age group divisions,U13, U15 Juniors and U17 Seniors.

The occupational system includes roundrobin bouts, the first to five hits and direct elimination first to ten hits for Juniors and first to fifteen for Seniors.

These students were named College Champions in their respective divisions:

Senior division

⁄ College Champion – James Groundwater

⁄ 2nd – Ethan Francis

⁄ 3rd – Ahran Grimes

Junior Division

⁄ College Champion – Ahran Grimes

⁄ 2nd – Ethan Francis

MASTER IN CHARGE:

MR GEOFF TESORIERO

The “COVID year”. That’s how 2020 will always be remembered. Lockdown began as our boys were in pre-season mode, preparing for a season that was quickly put on hold. At one stage it looked like we were never going to get a season in. Then thanks to the hard work of all the GPS schools, we managed to push back the commencement of the season to Term 3. The term started well with a few trial games; we then completed two GPS Rounds before the season was suspended again. Thankfully, we managed to resume the season missing just one round to complete the remaining games. 1st and 2nd XI played the suspended round in the final week of Term 3 on a Wednesday to fulfil all seven rounds and complete an official season. It’s been a long season, but a very successful one once again for Riverview.

Riverview had 360 registered football players making up 27 teams. The number of participants were slightly down from last season with many of the Year 12s opting not to play due to the season being pushed back and clashing with the HSC Trials. However, in the lower age groups the numbers continued to increase providing plenty of depth. We have 13 staff members involved in the program with 24 external coaches, two specialist goal keeping coaches and Branko Culina as our Junior (U13, U14, U15, U16) Technical Director.

Not including the suspended round, we played 162 matches across all teams. Of these we had 76 wins (47%), 65 loses (40%) and 17 draws (10%) with the remaining being internals, byes or washed out.

With just a few trial games leading into the first round of the GPS Competition, it is an unbelievable achievement by the 1st XI team to take out the Premiership ‘Wanderers Cup’ for an equal record four premierships in a row (the “Fourpeat”), and now the 14th premiership overall. It’s the third time the team has been declared a Championship Premiership by winning all seven matches, scoring a huge total of 31 goals and conceding just six goals for the season. Joe Roddy was the leading goal scorer with seven goals. Six players selected for the Combined GPS Football Team: Zachary Kalogerou (C), Edward Caspers, Hugo Darin, Adam Galizia, Joseph Roddy and Gabriel Wood, with our own 1st XI coach Jimmy Magill and Team Manager Peter Steffan being appointed as the GPS Coach and Manager. Unfortunately, due to all representative football being cancelled, no matches were played, but nonetheless they will receive a pocket and blazer line.

The 2nd XI had a successful season finishing in third place in the GPS Competition despite scoring the most goals (20) out of all the 2nd XI teams.

The lower-Opens teams were all fantastic with their commitment and enthusiasm, but most importantly their resilience and adaptability to the continual changes that occurred throughout the season. With this in mind, 3rd XI only had the one loss all season.

The U16s showed plenty of promise indicating there will be plenty of boys vying for a spot in 1st and 2nd teams next season. With the A team having several players unavailable through injury and boys playing up in the Opens, they performed extremely well. The 16Cs had an outstanding year going through undefeated.

The 15As dominated all their matches coming away with the undefeated pennant. Branko Culina has now coached the 15As for three years and in this time has only lost the one match. We also had the 15Bs go through undefeated showing great depth in the age-group.

The U14s is our largest year group with 81 players going down to the F Team. The 14Bs won all their matches with the C team losing one, D team losing two and the A, E, Fs losing three matches during the season.

For the Year 7s in their first year representing the College, we had the opportunity to see the talent that lays ahead for the next six years. The A team had a great season losing just two matches while the B team only lost one match.

Congratulations to Grammar for winning the 2nd XI Premiership. Also, a big thank you to Mr Kitching for the great work he does as the Football Convener for the GPS.

I wish everyone all the best for the rest of the year, and I look forward to working with you all in hopefully a non-COVID-restricted world in 2021.

1ST XI MANAGER: PETER STEFFAN

Undefeated Champions | GPS Competition

The 2020 season was always going to be a challenging one for the Riverview 1st XI as the entire 2019 team had graduated from the College. A rebuild of unprecedented proportions was required if the team was to defend the Premiership it had held for the past three seasons. Trials were called in Term 1 and Coach Magill and his assistants went about sorting through the 2nd XI and 16A players of the previous season, along with other likely prospects, to find the right combination.

The intervention of the pandemic resulted in the stalling, abandonment, delay, false start and subsequent recommencement of the GPS Football season. It also forced the loss of the pre-season GPS Plate competition, the

cancellation of the CIS Football Cup - which had been an established part of the early season - and the deletion of the Jesuit Schools Football Tournament for 2020.

The first round of the GPS season brought our old enemy, St Joseph’s College to Riverview. The 7-1 result provided a most satisfactory commencement to the defence of the Wanderers’ Cup (1st XI Premiership trophy). However, the news that Newington College had beaten Shore 6-0, provided an indication that the next week’s round at Stanmore could prove season-defining, even at such an early stage of the competition. From the outset, the match was played competitively and at high pace, with enterprising attack and robust defence being in evidence from both teams. Despite the quality of the play, no score was made in the first half and the teams went to half time 0-0. Two penalties awarded in the second half helped Riverview to a 2-1victory that put arguably the greatest threat to their Premiership campaign behind them.

The third round match was postponed due to COVID activity, but the season restarted the following weekend when Riverview visited Northbridge and came away with an emphatic

win, repeating the 7-1 scoreline from the first round. Round 5 saw Sydney Boys’ High come to Riverview in a must win game for our team, as High had something of a track record for tripping up high performing ’View teams, and keeping pace with Kings and ahead of Scots and Newington was a matter of importance with the remaining games being whittled down. As it was, the Riverview boys were able to win by 6 goals again, this time keeping a clean sheet.

The sixth round match with Grammar at Weigall loomed as a pivotal moment in the competition.The Grammar team were playing well and Coach Magill was concerned that they were the most likely of the remaining teams to be played to provide a challenge to his team. The game developed into a spirited affair, played at a hectic pace and with no quarter being asked or given. As it transpired, all the goals resulted after the intervention of the referee and the 2-1 result to the visitors maintained Riverview’s position at the top of the table, strengthened by Newington’s defeat of the otherwise unbeaten King’s team, and extinguished Grammar’s hopes for their own Premiership. The match with Scots at Riverview was a fiercely contested affair.

1ST XI FOOTBALL Back Row: Jordan Austin, Adam Galizia, Sebastian Bellew, Stefan Visscher, Tomas Moxey, Fergus Collins, Edward Caspers Front Row: Hugo Darin, Mr Geoff Tesoriero (MIC of Football), Zachary Kalogerou (Captain), Mr Jimmy Magill (Coach), Gabriel Wood, Mr Peter Steffan (Manager), Joseph Roddy

Riverview reached half time with a 2-1 lead and extended it to 3-1 before things started to unravel and two player were sent off in a flurry of yellow cards. The remaining players held on to the end and earned Riverview their Premiership defence, being three points ahead of the King’s school with the deferred match yet to be played.

The Riverview 1st XI travelled to North Paramatta with the Premiership in hand, facing a King’s School team that had been co-leaders of the competition for most of the season and had just come off an 8-0 win with a realistic prospect of winning their first football Premiership should they defeat Riverview and complete the season on the same points to earn a co-Premiership. King’s scored first to fuel the belief that this might be their year. However, the Riverview team steadied, equalised and then drew ahead as the first half came to an end. Two more goals in the second half put the result beyond doubt.

The Riverview 1st XI completed the season as undefeated Premiers and Champions. This was Riverview’s 14th Premiership and the third time the designation Champions was earned. Congratulations are in order for Coach Jim Magill and his assistants, Captain Zac Kalogerou and the whole team on their success and the contribution that they have made to Riverview’s outstanding Football tradition. The team consisted of Hugo Darin in goals; Zac Kalogerou, Sebastian Bellew, Fergus Collins and Adam Galizia in defence; Tom Moxey, Eddie Caspers, Joe Roddy, and Gabriel Wood in the midfield and Jordan Austin and Stefan Visscher in attack. Max McAinsh and Ryan Gately also contributed in the midfield and defence as did several other members of the 2nd XI when called on to reinforce the team.

2nd XI Football

2ND XI MANAGER: PETER STEFFAN

3rd Place | GPS Competition

Although the 2nd XI of the previous season had been a young team, promotions to the 1st XI and the withdrawal of some players from the football program resulted in the need for the team to be completely rebuilt. This was a task that Coach Myles and assisting staff took on with customary enthusiasm. The stop/ start nature of the pre-season meant that there was little in the way of form lines to give an indication of how the first round match against St Joseph’s College might turn out. As it was, a goal-fest ensued in the first half with the Riverview boys going to the break with a 5-1 lead. The second half was a more restrained affair with both teams scoring a goal, but it was a bright start to the delayed season.

Round 2 required a trip to Stanmore to take on the other GPS Football powerhouse, Newington College, who had suffered a surprising defeat in the first round. The Riverview team started quickly, having half a dozen genuine shots on goal in the first five minutes. However, no goals resulted, and the team’s profligacy came back to bite it as Newington struck with their first attempt and then scored again in the second half to seal the result.

Following the suspension of the third round due to COVID concerns, the next match saw the Riverview team assemble at Northbridge to take on Shore School. Late in the first half, senior players Oscar Williams and Danny Gedeon combined to score the first goal, and soon after, younger team members Austin Reich and Jonathan Codemo produced a second to seal the victory and get the team’s campaign back on track. The fifth-round match with Sydney Boys’ High was played at Riverview with the home team taking a slender lead into the half time break. The second half was more productive with Riverview scoring 5 goals and the boys from High 2.

The match with Grammar at their Weigall complex took on the mantle of a grand final as Riverview needed to take the points from the undefeated Grammar team to catch them in the Premiership race. The Grammar team clearly understood the importance of the match as a victory would all but guarantee the Premiership for them. In a physical encounter which ultimately saw a season-ending injury to Goalkeeper Kyle Wallace, Grammar were able to score an unanswered goal in each half.

Scots came to Riverview to play what would have been the last game of the season if not for the delayed match with The King’s School. It was clear that the Scots boys had come with intent as they fought hard for possession and mounted spirited attacks on the Riverview defence. However, the Riverview boys were able to score one goal in the first half and two in the second, and so ended the game in which the Riverview 2nd XI combined fluently to dispatch a spirited opponent.

The deferred match with King’s was played on their Wanderer’s field, arguably the best playing surface in the GPS, on the final Wednesday of the term. The King’s team started enthusiastically and pressed hard

for a goal, but it was Riverview who scored first and then a second before the home team clawed one back late in the first half. The first 19 minutes of the second half did not go well for the visitors, who found themselves behind on the score board, following goals in the 34th and 40th minutes to the King’s boys. The momentum was wrested back by the Riverview team and with 12 minutes remaining, Dan Gedeon was on hand to score an equaliser. Despite the best efforts of both teams, no further goals were scored and the game concluded at 3-3. The result was a disappointment to the Riverview boys as it cost them the runner up position in the competition, finishing the season in third place.

Golf

MASTER IN CHARGE: MR MARTIN COLLINS

1st Place | Interschools Series

Players: Matthew Mildren, Fergus Collins, Declan O’Donovan, Samuel Magarey, William Wright, Finn O’Brien, Jude Pascoe, Nathan Lu, James Martin-Weber, Milo Hunter, Christo Blencke, Noah McCarthy, Lee James, Patrick Macken, Fraser Rooney, Lachlan Rooney

Coach: Mr B Piper

At the close of another season it is very satisfying to sit back and see just how much we have achieved. Our 1sts were hoping to win our third successive Interschools Series in and our ‘newies to golf’ were hoping to start hitting the ball more consistently.

While the first objective was achieved, the second is still a work in progress. Golf is a very

difficult game to master. It takes many hours of practice, the first hundred of which can be very frustrating. Most people believe, before they try, that it couldn’t be that difficult. They are wrong.

The brilliant feature of the game is that it relies only on oneself, and it is self-regulating. People often say that if you cannot be trusted on the golf course then you certainly cannot be trusted in life. I think that is true.

Our players displayed excellent behaviour throughout the season. The students who played at Chatswood Golf Club each week did not attract a single negative comment. Mr Piper, their coach ensured that would be the case. I appreciate his support with the team. A number of players improved throughout the season. From all reports Patrick Macken, Noah McCarthy, Nathan Lu and James Martin-Weber made the greatest leaps in ability but others were not far behind them. They are to be congratulated.

Throughout the season, I wrote quite a lot about the 1sts Golf Squad. Although never in front on the leader board, until the final round, we were always very competitive. The steely determination by the squad meant that going

into the final round we needed a good result against Knox Grammar to secure our third title. Our Year 12 students; Matthew, Fergus and Declan were given the task of bringing the trophy home, and that is exactly what they did, winning each of their matches easily. With Joeys taking a couple of points from Barker this ensured victory for the squad.

For Finn, Samuel and William it was their first premiership, but hopefully not their last, as they will be at the forefront of the 1sts next season.

Declan O’Donovan has made an outstanding contribution to Golf at the College. He is fiercely determined, and he more than anyone, has worked hard at his game over the last two years. His handicap of 8 is the lowest in the College, and he thoroughly deserved to be crowned Golf Champion in 2019-20. He played the No.1 player from every school all season and contributed greatly to our success.

Fergus Collins won his third straight Interschools Series this year. He has been a reliable, relaxed member of the squad and his demeanour has helped those around him achieve the success they have had. I wish him well with his golf beyond school.

Matthew Mildren came into the Golf Team in Year 7. Although easily the youngest in the squad this hardly mattered. He had a golf game that was the envy of many. Not only was he able to make the 1sts in Year 7 he also won the School Golf Championship. He was the mainstay of the team for the next five years. He was a recipient of four Interschools Golf Series in Year 8, 10, 11 and 12. Added to this he won the School Golf Championships every year from Year 7 until Year 12 where he lost by a single shot to Declan O’Donovan. As soon as he was defeated, he walked up to Declan and congratulated him.

The tightness of all the players, and the way they presented themselves each week was a real credit to them. I am sure the legacy this group has left will live on for a while.

Martial Arts

MASTER IN CHARGE:

MRS MARYANNE HUMPHREY

“At the epicentre of a storm, it is always calm. Find that centre, your centre. That’s where you will find strength.”

These inspiring words from AVIS Viswanathan, certainly rang true for the Martial Arts Squad of 2020.

In Term 1, the competition began with enthusiasm and saw Riverview host Sydney Grammar in the Therry Hall to kickstart the season which would include participants from St Aloysius’ and Barker Colleges. Combined, each school delivered a rigorous program under the expert instruction of TKD 9th Dan, Master Greg Wyllie and his team, who provided a range of defensive skills in jiu jitsu, boxing and focussing on tae kwon do. In addition to the varied program of activities, much to the delight of the students, Saturday training sessions were held in Master Wyllie’s new location on Penshurst St, Willoughby.

The new dojo boasts not only a full-sized boxing ring, but an impressive light and sound system, an array of standard and electronic kick bags, and updated equipment.

Toward the end of Term 1, each student worked to acquire and develop their individual skills in tae kwon do, which allowed them to progress to the next belt. Unfortunately, due to the threat of COVID-19 and the implementation of social distancing restrictions, the season was cut short.

After the shutdown of Term 2 sport, Martial Arts returned in Term 3 with much excitement and an injection of new participants who undertook the sport for the first time. Unfortunately, the annual All Schools TKD Championships could not take place, but that did not dampen the spirits of the squad. Both old and new participants were given an opportunity to grade and the following belts were achieved by the end of the year:

⁄ Yellow belt: Mikele Brindisi, Sam Brookes, Marcus Rorke, William O’Keefe, William Brungs, Marcus Brindisi and Xavier Cameron-Smith

⁄ Yellow/green tip: Max Anderson and Oscar Jarman

⁄ Green belt: Lachlan FitzGerald

⁄ Green/blue tip: Max Anderson

⁄ Blue/red tip: Malachi Lindsey

⁄ Red belt: Lukas Arns

All in all, despite the challenges of 2020, the Martial Arts program continued to thrive and the students certainly found their inner strength in a year that surprised and challenged everyone.

Mountain Biking

MASTER IN CHARGE: MR

DAVID POSKER-HILL

The 2020 Season has brought its fair share of trials and tribulations, however the MTB community has bonded together tightly, and demonstrated success in both achievement and relationship.

The Combined Schools Championships provided great success for our riders, with the dedication of the wider team being a highlight. In the Junior Division, Luke Bannerman narrowly lost out to come second in a division in which he won every race he attended. As in cycling, injury prevented him participating in all events, which sadly knocked him off top spot. However, the combined efforts of Sean McKeon (4th), Josh Maiers (5th), Hugh Waldren (6th) and Darcy Hallam (7th), saw the Junior squad win the Teams prize.

Lachlan Ambrogio and Charles Dinning raced consistently throughout the season, taking 5th and 6th places in the Intermediate Division. Their efforts, alongside others, saw Riverview achieve second place in the Teams competition.

In a talent-filled Senior Division, Alexander Pettit took 3rd place, and alongside Josh Arcus (5th), Tom Moore (7th) and Harry Little (9th), narrowly snatched first place in the Teams competition. A just reward for a year group that has placed MTB on the map at Riverview.

Externally, it has been a bittersweet year for our community. A week before the COVID lockdown, Josh Arcus came 2nd in the

U19s Australian Downhill Championships with a time that would have placed him 6th fastest in the country in the elite division. Such success was recognised with selection to the Australian National Team, however restrictions did not allow him to compete in the World Championships in Austria. Harry Spice (17th), Angus Fox (47th) and George Dummer (24th) also competed at the Championships, achieving commendable results. We tragically lost our little buddy George Dummer this year. He was an extremely talented rider, great lad to be around, and always cheered us up with his infectious smile and bravery on the bike. He leaves a hole in the heart of our MTB community.

On a personal note, after seven years with the MTB community, I am stepping down as MIC and taking up an opportunity at another school. The trainings, Saturday Competitions, Thredbo and Canberra tours have been an immense blessing to me, and I will certainly hold fond memories of the team. I wish to thank Alexander Pettit for brilliantly leading the team this year, as well as all the students and parents who have made this a wonderful journey. We are a different sport, a growing, and amazing sport. I wish the team all the best in the future.

Rowing

MASTER IN CHARGE: MR DANIEL NOONAN

CAPTAIN OF BOATS: NED O’ROURKE

VICE CAPTAINS OF BOATS: SAM PHILLIPS AND NED POWER

The 2019/2020 Rowing season will be remembered for a number of reasons: the cancellation of one regatta due to heatwave conditions, poor air quality from bushfires causing the cancellation of the GPS January Camp in Canberra and the impact of COVID-19 which resulted in a change of date for the Head of the River Regatta. The event was moved to Tuesday, only the crews and coaches were able to attend the Sydney Regatta Centre in person (audiences had to view via livestream), and all 3rd VIII and Year 10 events were cancelled.

However, the Regatta provided the best results achieved by the College, with the 2nd VIII, 2nd IV and 3rd IV winning their events, the 1st IV and 4th IV finishing second and the 1st VII third in a very strong performance. As a result, since 2018, the College has held all six GPS rowing trophies.

With all this still to come, rowing started as usual at the end of Term 3 in 2019 and was followed by camps for the Year 10 and GPS Squads prior to Term 4. There were changes in the GPS Squad coaching staff; with the departure of successful 1st VIII coach Michael Doyle, Richard Wearne took over responsibility for the top crew with Dan Noonan. Matthew Curtin (who previously coached at Loreto Normanhurst) was appointed the 2nd VIII coach and Peter Wawn and Dave Dillon looked after the GPS IVs. Ned O’Rourke was appointed the Captain of Boats, with Sam Phillips and Ned Power as Vice-Captains.

The strength and consistency in the GPS Squad was most evident from the beginning of the season and in the end saw them finish 2nd in the AAGPS Senior Point Score competition. The Junior Squads worked hard during Term 4 to improve their technical skills. For the Year 10 VIIIs this was made harder with the impact of the Year 9 Challenge, but changes to the training times reduced this impact.

Boat Blessing

Two new boats, a four and a quad, were added to the fleet this season and were named to recognise the service of long time coaches and Old Boys of the College, Dave Dillon and Simon Glascott.

January Camp

For the first time in approximately 34 years, the January Camp for the GPS Squad was held at the College, given the poor air quality issues in Canberra. This meant that the Boathouse was a hive of activity, especially in the weekend prior to Term 1 when all squads were training. Crew selections for all squads took place at this time and all worked hard for the racing that was to come.

Gold Cup Regatta

The 136th Gold Cup Regatta involved 1,640 competitors in 291 crews, representing 28 schools and clubs competing in 52 events in 90 races. The Men’s Gold Challenge Cup was contested for the 127th time and was won by Sydney University, who also won the Women’s Gold Challenge Cup.

GOLD CUP REGATTA

PLC/KINGS REGATTA: 1st and 2nd VIII with their trophies following the presentation for Division 1 and 2 of the Under 19 Eight

1st VIII

COACHES: MR RICHARD WEARNE, MR DAN NOONAN

3rd Place | GPS Head of The River

Every rowing season presents its own obstacles, this one more than most with bushfires and COVID-19 presenting additional challenges. The 1st VIII had a great season going from strength to strength throughout. There were some very competitive races in Term 1 including third place at the Sydney Regatta, contesting the final of the Gold Cup and first place at the Kings Regatta – the last regatta before the Head of the River. At the Head of the River, the 1st VIII didn’t leave anything on the track putting in what I believe was the race of the regatta, putting them on the podium in a closely fought 3rd place.

What can’t be measured by statistics is the dedication, effort, growth and fellowship that they displayed as a squad. Crews have to be selected through fierce internal competition which was made difficult by the squad’s fantastic work ethic making the final seat selections into the 1st VIII very tough to get right. Through all the trials and seat racing it was wonderful to see how the squad

supported and encouraged each other which carried through to the regattas. To my mind, the sense of team unity that was established, the willingness of the guys to work hard, make changes and help each other to achieve their goals was what marked the season as a success and such a pleasure to be a part of.

1ST VIII: Hugo Kerr (Cox), Ryan Pascuzzo-Bowditch (Stroke), Mackenzie Thompson, Felix Connors, Tristan Kelleher, Charles Jewell, Samuel Phillip, Dally Bird, Patrick Johnston (Bow) Coaches: Mr Richard. Wearne, Mr Dan Noonan

2nd VIII

COACH: MR MATTHEW CURTIN

1st Place | GPS Head of The River

The selection process for the 1st and 2nd VIII meant that the makeup of both crews change regularly. Those who became members of the 2nd VIII accepted their disappointment of not making the higher crew and focussed all their efforts on maximising the performance of the crew. As a result, 2nd VIII were a very competitive and consistent crew throughout the season, finishing on the podium in all their events, winning 2nd VIII races at the SGS and Kings/PLC Regattas and their division in the Men’s Open VIII at the Sydney Rowing Club and the Under 19 VIII at the Kings/PLC Regattas.

The crew developed a strategic race plan which they were able to fully utilise in their last race at the Head of the River. They were in second place at the 1000 metre mark and produced a very strong third 500metres to take the lead and go on to win by 0.97 in a well-judged race. This is the first time the College has won this event since 1994.

3rd VIII

COACH: MR OLIVER HARRADINE

The 3rd VIII started the season a few numbers short, however with many students narrowly missing out on a spot in the fours, they were brimming with talent. Consistent work in the Scuds and Sculls led to rapid improvements from the newer rowers and a greater appreciation for the technical side of rowing. Before long we were practising roll ups in fours and piecing together some impressive stints of rowing. Term 4 ended with some races in challenging conditions, but strong powerful rowing saw good boat speeds achieved.

In Term 1 the focus shifted to the eight, and plenty of time as a six allowed us to complete some challenging weeks of work. The athletes showed great resolve in adapting to selection and boat changes, and this shone through as they shaved well over 30 seconds off their race times in fours. In their first and last hit out as an eight, they came oh-so-close to breaking through seven minutes. COVID-19 restrictions saw the team’s Head of the River race cancelled; however, I look forward to seeing their future progress, having witnessed an undeniable growth in skill and character from all the students this season.

1st IV

COACH: MR PETER WAWN

2nd Place | GPS Head of The River

The 1st IV had a strong start to the racing season following the October Camp. Excited to perform in their new boat, they won their first race of the season at the Sydney Grammar Regatta. The crew continued their efforts for the remainder of Term 4, gaining some pleasing results in the last few regattas of the year.

The crew had a productive holiday with many kilometres being put in the Singles and Four over two camps. They started Term 1 strongly with a win in their heat of the NSW Championship School Boy IV at the State Championships Regatta and winning the final of the Sydney Rowing Club Regatta. They performed well at the Gold Cup Regatta, winning their heat but falling short of Shore in the final for second place. They trained hard in the final weeks before Head of the River with some great competitive sessions but unfortunately, fell short of their goal of retaining the Yaralla Cup, finishing in second place.

The crew had a commendable and enjoyable season as they built a sense of camaraderie and achieved consistent pleasing results across all regattas. They worked hard and despite their disappointment in their final race, they can be proud of their efforts.

2nd IV

COACH: MR PETER WAWN

1st Place | GPS Head of The River

The 2nd IV’s early results in Term 4 were mixed, but with the crew putting in maximum effort at training they slowly started to build momentum. During the Christmas break they consistently put themselves through the hard work and challenges of the holiday training sessions and camps in pursuit of a Head of the River win.

Term 1 brought some good results starting with qualifying for the NSW Championship Schoolboy Four at the State Championships, winning the 2nd IV and their division of the Under 19 IV at the Sydney Rowing Club Regatta and second place at the Gold Cup. All the hard work and training the crew put in for seven months paid off, with a Head of the River win. They led all the way to win by 4.7 secs and so retain the Alan Callaway Trophy, recording the fastest time of all the IV’s that day. A fantastic end to a long and challenging season.

3rd IV and 4th IV

COACH: MR DAVID DILLON

3rd IV: 1st Place | GPS Head of The River

4th IV: 2nd Place | GPS Head of The River

Both the 3rd and 4th IVs proved to be very competitive throughout the season with both crews finishing on the podium in all their school events.

Throughout Term 4, the 3rd IV worked hard at improving their technical skills and finished second and third at the early Regattas. The crew showed signs of what was to come early in Term 1, with victories at the Sydney Rowing Club and Gold Cup Regattas and also at the Kings/ PLC/Rowing NSW Regatta where they won their division of the Under 19 Men’s Four. At the NSW Championship Regatta, they were one of 23 crews entered in the NSW Championship Schoolboy Four including crews from Victoria and Canberra as well as all the GPS fours. They qualified for the final in this event, with a strong third place in their heat, finishing in sixth place.

At the Head of the River, the 3rd IV dominated the race from the start with a very fast first 500m and then maintained the pressure on the rest of the crews to win by 3.06 secs in a very impressive performance, bringing the Father Gartlan Trophy back to the College for the first time since 2006. Fr Gartlan was the founder of the Riverview Rowing Club in 1882 and was a key figure in the development of schoolboy rowing generally. He was also Rector of the College from 1901 to 1910.

Like the 3rd IV, the 4th IV worked hard in Term 4 developing into a very effective crew. They raced well in all their events with their best results in the lead up to the Head of the River, winning at the Sydney Rowing Club Regatta and finishing a close second at the Gold Cup Regatta after a strong performance to win their heat. At the Head of the River they were third at the 500m mark and moved with Shore to overtake the early leader, Scots, by the halfway mark. They rowed well over the second half of the race to finish second by 2.54 seconds.

Year 10 VIIIs

SQUAD MANAGER: MR PETER KOVACS

COACH: MR DAN NOONAN

The Year 10 VIIIs started the season well with their training and crew selection. The squad had to navigate around the Year 9 Challenge in Term 4 which slowed their progress, as there were only enough

people around to boat one crew at the early regattas. While this was challenging for the boys, they stayed positive and motivated and kept their belief in their ability to perform in the Term 1 racing season.

The January Camp was a big step forward for the squad which laid the platform for Term 1 racing. Both crews were improving with every regatta and the results were showing this. Unfortunately, the Year 10 VIII boys were unable to race at the Head of the River due to the COVID-19 restrictions. I look forward to seeing these terrific young men keep progressing as they move into the senior squad next season.

Year 9 Quadruple Sculls

SQUAD MANAGER: MR ANGUS ROBERTSON

Under the direction of Mr Jackson Garrels, Mr Tom Cavanagh, Mr Rohan Costello and Mr Angus Robertson, the Year 9 Quads stepped up to another level this season with their introduction to racing at the Sydney International Regatta Centre, the increase in workload in training on the water and the tough Sandhill Warrior land sessions. While they found this to be challenging at times, they faced it head-on with great spirit and vigour. Their positive attitude proved instrumental through the season with some wonderful results, with any setbacks adding to the determination for further improvement.

A strong showing at the January Camp set the crews up for the Term 1 Regattas, where they all showed improvement and consistency in their racing. At the Gold Cup Regatta, the Junior races were rowed as A and B Finals, rather in Divisions, based on their ranking at that stage of the season. The Year 9 Quads all rowed in the A Finals and performed well. Keep your eye on this group of young men as I expect to see some wonderful Head of the River results over the next few years!

SQUAD MANAGER: MR JOSH ALLEN

The Year 8 crews made strong progress in their first season of rowing under the direction of Mr David Hogan, Ms Georgie Smith and Mr Mitchell Elbourne. As a squad, they trained enthusiastically at the January Rowing Camp, showing strong improvement in their technical skills and fitness levels, which improved the competitiveness of each crew in racing in Term 1.

During the season, the enthusiasm and dedication of the squad never dropped. They are to be commended for their efforts in their introduction to the sport, where they learnt the valuable lessons of the importance of teamwork in and out of the boat and working hard during every session in order to build both fitness and stamina over during the season.

Rugby

MASTER IN CHARGE: MR NICK BOUSIE

2020 was a season like never before. Firstly, it was postponed due to COVID-19, but after the July school holidays, all age groups were back on track and a number of internal trials got our teams ready for the modified season. The Saturday fixtures were going to run as normal, however with one major change: no spectators.

Under 13

The U13 cohort of 100 aspiring players had a great season. We focused on punctuality, respect and sportsmanship. The 13As were smaller than most opponents but had some excellent results; success will increase with their size. In the 13B to 13E groups, our results were overwhelmingly positive, winning around 90% of our games. The enthusiasm shown by coaches was inspiring and the U13 age-group was magnificently managed by Dan Hyde.

Under 14

The U14s had a very successful year, but their results pale in comparison to the growth and school spirit the boys showed in their second year of senior rugby. Our boys were very resilient against bigger, more aggressive sides. They showed immense character playing hard matches every week to great success, but more importantly, they played in great spirit and learned a lot about rugby and sportsmanship. I was very impressed with the U14s coaches, who – bar Mr Bourne – were recent Riverview old boys. These young men showed great leadership and a valuable understanding of what representing Saint Ignatius’ College means.

Under 15

This year’s group had mixed results across the shortened season, displaying resilience throughout a difficult season that will be forever remembered for the tragic loss of one of our own, George Dummer. George was an integral part of the U15B team and will be remembered for his quiet leadership, determined running and signature head tape. All members of the U15B squad did George, their families, the College and themselves proud with the way they responded to the loss of their brother.

A huge thank you to the coaching squad of Ben Carolan, Nick Brown, Tom Marshall, Ed Rennie, Anthony Reilly, Luca Asmonti and Dan Allsopp for their efforts this season. Final thanks go to Jane Rorke for her constant behind the scenes efforts in coordinating six teams of teenagers.

Under 16

It was a mixed season for the U16 group which, under the tutelage of Aaron Hooper and Nathan Kelly, had a fantastic campaign which was a highlight in the squad. Each player can be proud of the effort they consistently applied on game day and at training in what was the most challenging of circumstances they are likely to experience. The coaching staff of Aaron Hooper, Nathan Kelly, Daniel Johnston, Andrew Taylor, Jack Kane, Seb Cameron and Chris Bishara were instrumental in the development of all players. The tireless work of Tim Lee often goes unnoticed but is the essential cog in the U16 machine. I would also like to acknowledge the strong support of a dedicated parent support group who were sorely missed on the sidelines throughout the season.

Seniors

Our senior competition teams had a season of mixed results. Our 1st XV and 3rd XV had almost even wins and losses, but our 2nd XV had a fantastic season to come runner up to a very strong St Joseph’s team. A big thank you to the Senior coaching team who had a very challenging year.

Congratulations to Captain of Rugby, Dally Bird on his selection into the Gen Blue program, alongside Henry O’Donnell and Jack Bowen.

I’d like to thank all the coaches and age group coordinators, the strength and conditioning and medical staff for their passion and commitment, and especially the teachers who continue to be actively involved in the Rugby Program. The Rugby Program could not run as smoothly without the collective work of all these valued members. It is important we learn from past mistakes, and we improve on our positives. I look forward to a wonderful and hopefully less dramatic 2021.

The 2020 season was unique for all involved. COVID-19 produced many hurdles, including the cancellation of the first ever Riverview Rugby Japan tour, however this was a small sacrifice considering the effect the pandemic was having worldwide.

After an interrupted and reduced pre-season and trial period, the team produced some incredible wins and heartbreaking losses throughout the season. Of particular note was their match against old rivals, St Joseph’s, in the most bizarre setting ever for a 1st XV fixture between both schools – no screaming old boys and spectators. Yet this proved to be one of the most physical and defensive dominant displays of rugby to be witnessed by the few who were lucky enough to be there. St Joseph’s were something of a juggernaut leading into this game, scoring at least 50 points against any opposition they had faced. For 68 minutes Riverview was able to fend off countless raids of attack from the bigger

St Joseph’s side, holding them to a slender 7-0 margin, but with a few injuries, forced substitutions and fatigue creeping into both teams, something had to give. A try in the corner to St Joseph’s cut the margin to just two with a minute left on the scoreboard. Never a team to give up, in the 7th minute of injury time, St Joseph’s received a stroke of luck to score a try from a grubber kick that would end the game and break the hearts of all the Riverview rugby community. The rugby gods may not have smiled upon them, but they won the admiration of many that day.

The final round of a very short season came against Shore at the irregular time of a Wednesday afternoon after Valete graduation – a unique opportunity for the year 12 cohort to finish their schooling at Saint Ignatius’ College with a GPS rugby fixture. Riverview displayed some precision and skill to score tries from all over the field to hold a commanding lead. It was a fitting way to end what was a challenging, emotional, and at times, frustrating season. A season just doesn’t happen without lots of groundwork behind the scenes and a supportive off-field team.

Thank you to those who were integral to the players and coaching staff during the season.

To our Assistant Coach Ross Hopkins, Manager Bill Dowers,

Coach Cathy Walsh and Strength Coach Tara Andriejunas-Pogirskis, the whole squad thanks you. To Dally Bird, Hamish Cressey and players of the 1stXV, thank you for the season. You learned a lot about yourselves and each other under duress this year. Use this experience to build on and give yourselves the best opportunity at success in every future endeavour.

2nd Place | GPS Competition

Truly a season like no other, the 2020 campaign tested the players, families and staff in ways we hope not to have to repeat. Despite all the noise and issues, the resilience of this group has been remarkable and resulted in the most successful 2nd XV season in my three years in charge.

Our pre-season began well with the strength and conditioning program, but just as the summer season concluded and with trial games a matter of days away, lockdown came into effect and completely changed life as we knew it. We got back underway on June 2nd, many weeks behind most of our opposition, but to the boys’ credit, our condition was still quite reasonable and the work ethic at training was excellent. A camp in the last week of the holidays followed by a trial against St Augustine’s finally gave the boys some rugby to play! An extended squad of 44 was finalised and two dominant wins on that day on 2nd field completed our week in camp. It was a bizarre feeling with no parents or supporters and COVID measures firmly on our minds.

For Riverview, the competition began with two difficult away games with Kings and Newington, however the desire and discipline showed by our boys gave them two deserved and grinding wins. Round 3 at Joeys was unlike any other before it, with no spectators and parents, it was a far cry from the scenes of years gone by. Riverview remained in touch for most of the match before a late try to the hosts sealed the 33–14 win. It was painful to not put in our best performance on this day, but the forwards in particular were enormous for us and kept us in the fight. It was Joeys’ toughest match all season and with the gap being closed from our trial match only a month earlier, it was a mark of the success of our training for all involved.

The last home match against Scots was the highlight of the season: a 38-0 victory where our combinations clicked. This was followed by the final match at Shore with a 40-12 win featuring two of our best tries of the season. Terrific counterattack rugby and disciplined work from the forwards was fun to watch on our last day together and it completed a fine year from a terrific group of boys.

The 2nd XV finished outright 2nd with 4 wins and 1 loss in the GPS competition. This group, which numbered a massive 32 different starting players over seven matches, proved time and again that they were willing to go to darker places than often much more fancied opposition. We gave up the least number of points for a Riverview 2nds side in at least five

seasons. With all the team changes, outside noise and general mess that this year was behind the scenes, the maturity and fortitude shown by these students is remarkable. I am very proud to have led them.

To all the families and friends who weren’t able to see their sons play this season, a massive thank you for your continued support. To the coaching staff, particularly Dan Brown who coached the 2nds with me, thank you for all your efforts and hard work during the most challenging of seasons. To Tara and Cathy who did so much for our Strength and Conditioning, thank you! We would not even be in the fight without you. Thank you to our physio and part time counsellor Marco and all the student managers who have made our lives easier at training and on game day. Bill Dowers as Program Manager has been a big part of our season once again and a massive thank you from me for all the work you do behind the scenes, particularly the more unpleasant ones holding the boys to account. Lastly to Nick Bousie, Paul O’Brien, Andrew Szabo and Dr Paul Hine for all your work in this incredible year to get the boys on the park and allowing this most successful season for the 2nd XV to take place.

I hope all involved will carry with them as many positive memories, lessons and friendships as I have from this season.

Sailing

MASTER IN CHARGE: MR MATTHEW BENTLEY

Riverview offered a diverse program of activities in the 2019-20 summer season. Term 4 saw the return of a strong core group of sailors, keenly braving the bracing water temperatures of Sydney Harbour in October. The team set about training in preparation for a season of Teams Racing against other independent schools and youth sailing clubs.

In order to do this, we welcomed back Specialist Teams Racing Coach Mr Jackson Twomey (OR2017). Jackson is a member of the current champion Australian University Games Teams Racing team, as well as an accomplished skiff sailor. Our students were treated to his technical expertise and competitive strategy instruction on a weekly basis. To accompany Jackson, we were assisted by old boy Coaches, David Wilson (OR2018) and Patrick Grew (OR2018), both enthusiastic and experienced youth coaches. Overseeing the coaches and technical direction of training was a most valued member of staff, Mr Jonathan Talbot. Mr Talbot brings a lifetime of competitive sailing experience and was invaluable to our program at every level this year.

Term 1, 2020 welcomed a significant influx of 15 new Optimist Sailors, mostly learning to sail for the first time. With the assistance of our coaches, these boys very quickly learnt boat handling, knots and sailing strategy, ending the term with some very competitive internal races.

Unfortunately, the arrival of COVID-19 saw the cancellation of our external fixtures, which all usually occur late in Term 1. This was a significant disappointment as the crews had trained diligently and were looking forward to putting their new skills and strategies to work in Teams Racing.

Looking forward in 2020-21, we are anticipating an expansion of our fleet with the arrival of three new boats – two-crew crafts known as Pacers. Pacers are the boat in which we compete in Teams Racing, and the addition of these boats will allow training for this sport routinely at home.

Lastly, I would like to thank our Club Captain, Xander Schmidberger. Xander has been an everlasting beacon of enthusiasm for our sport, ever since he joined the program in Year 7. His humble leadership and selfless contribution around the sailing shed has established a standard which embodies the mission of this club and our College.

Snowsports

MASTER IN CHARGE: MR CHRIS BAXTER

It was the season that wasn’t for the College Snowsports team. The season when we would have sent the strongest College team ever to the ski fields – a team boasting three current National champions. In the end though, all events and competitions were sadly cancelled.

On a brighter note however, the year began with the inaugural College International Snowsports Tour to Canada in January. And it was a stunning success.

It was a long time in the making, but in the end, proved an incredible experience for all involved. 32 students from Year 6 to Year 11 made the trek via Vancouver to Sun Peaks in British Columbia. Sun Peaks Resort, 45 minutes outside Kamloops, offered exclusive access to their permanent race training facility – something we don’t have access to in Australia as a school team. We had exclusive use of the racecourse for three hours every morning. In a unique ‘First World Problem’ though, we had too much snow. In fact, it snowed every day. You can’t hold an edge in powder and it made gate training impossible. In the end, we did get four invaluable sessions on course, although the snowy conditions

also saw the cancellation of one of our two race days – unfortunately including an event that would have provided some serious competition against Canadian high school students.

We did get to race on the second weekend though. As it was an ‘all comers’ event, there was a range of ability on display from both young and old alike, and it was great to see some of the parents take up the challenge. The race director was Nancy Greene, Canada’s Female Athlete of the 20th century. Nancy was full of advice for the boys, with some invaluable tips on starting – and she would know, having won Gold in the Giant Slalom in the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France, and Silver in the Slalom. The twotime World Champion was also our host as the Director of Skiing at Sun Peaks Resort, and as the owner of our accommodation, Cahilty Lodge. We were privileged to spend an evening session with Nancy, who shared invaluable tips on training and race craft.

Having skied Sun Peaks twice previously, I knew this could be a cold resort. And it was exactly that. I had spent some time preparing the boys for this, and they knew it was coming. The first week saw temperatures between -5 and -15. But the second week was a new experience for almost everyone as daytime temperatures plummeted to below -30. Fortunately, the racecourse was adjacent to the mid mountain café and facilities, allowing us to take regular breaks to warm up.

The star of the tour was most definitely the snow. It just doesn’t get any better. And that wasn’t just my opinion. It was everybody’s. Sun Peaks called it the best January in 25 years, as did all of the resorts across British Columbia.

I would like to acknowledge the support of a very large parent group who ‘shadowed’ the tour, and to thank my own staff for their tireless effort: Andrew Szabo, Anthony Cook, Peter McMillan and Jeff Myles.

And finally, the boys. They were the finest ambassadors for the College. We were the toast of the town in our blue jackets, and everyone wanted to know who we were, where we were from, and even asking questions about Saint Ignatius’. I was literally swept off my feet with complete strangers engaging me in conversation on lifts, in coffee shops, and complimenting the boys about everything. Their dress, their behaviour, their skiing ability, but most of all, their ability to engage adults in conversation. We were able to attend Mass, with half of the room a sea of blue. We were most welcome guests, and it was interesting to watch our own students, particularly our eight Year 11 students, in discussion after mass with the local parishioners. I have never been more proud to be associated with the College.

Everyone left Sun Peaks a better skier. Particularly in powder. Memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.

Surf Life Saving

MASTER IN CHARGE: MRS ASHLEIGH MORRISON

This summer season saw the strengthening of the relationship between the Riverview SLS team and North Steyne Surf Life Saving Club.

Tracey-Hare Boyd and her son Trae were instrumental in the design and delivery of the Bronze Medallion training program. This is a rigorous program that requires substantial effort and time on the part of the boys involved, providing them with the skills and knowledge of patrolling and surf awareness in order to be able to participate in lifesaving operations. 15 students successfully achieved this award this season and patrolled North Steyne Beach throughout the summer.

The Club generously managed their patrolling rosters around the summer sport season which allowed our students, many of whom are from rural NSW, to patrol the beach on a fortnightly basis, utilising their lifesaving skills to ensure the safety of visitors to North Steyne Beach. It is hoped that these students continue to be involved in NSSLSC and we will look to become more heavily involved in the carnival program next season.

Swimming

MASTER IN CHARGE: MR MICHAEL WEBB

GPS Swimming

The 2019-20 swimming season was another success, with over 95 students training throughout the season and 55 representing the College. Swimming training consists of students from Regis Campus and the Senior School, and it was wonderful to see students from a range of ages competing and training together. Each session, the young men are often swimming three to five kilometres, which is an exceptional achievement. Captain of the team was Christian Taylor, the ViceCaptains were Bill Delany and Aristotle Stathis and the BBQ Captain was Brock Twigg – each of these young men demonstrated great leadership throughout the season.

The season commenced with solid performances at the St Aloysius’ College

Carnival with Riverview claiming top spot. This continued at the Sydney Boys’ Swimming Carnival 4x100m relay – an event that has been conducted for many years where all GPS schools enter a team – where the Riverview team of Christian Taylor, Nicholas Quinn, Zach Wong and Aristotle Stathis placed second.

The annual Captains’ Dinner was held at St Joseph’s College and Christian Taylor, Bill Delany and Aristotle Stathis represented the College, with Christian speaking about the upcoming season.

Due to COVID-19 there was no final GPS carnival. Three GPS swimming carnivals had already taken place and there were a number of championship events where points were awarded, so the Division and Premiership winners were decided based on the points awarded in the completed carnivals. The Senior Swimming team were 50 points clear and claimed the premiership. This is the second time the College has won back to back Senior Premierships and the fifth Senior Premiership in eight years.

The representative pathway events, the NSW CIS Swimming Championships and the NSW All Schools Championships were not held this year due COVID-19.

An honourable Year 12 GPS representative team was selected and included:

Table Tennis

MASTER IN CHARGE: MR GREG JONES

The 2019-2020 season witnessed many changes, including the departure of the long serving Mrs Susie Potter as Master in Charge and the newly appointed MIC Greg Jones mid-way through Term 4, 2019.

Through the hard work and expertise of Coach Mr James Wong and a renewed attitude amongst the group, the team performances continued to improve throughout the season.

Notably, Sebastian Borromeo and Jack Mair were consistently the best players through the season, with Tristan Donnelly (a late addition to the team) the most improved in his short time with the team.

We head into the 2020-21 season with renewed vigour and commitment to be the best we can, with more competition for positions within the team and a collective desire to compete against our rivals with an unwavering focus.

Tennis

MASTER IN CHARGE: MR GEOFF TESORIERO

When planning for the season, never in our wildest dreams did we predict what would unfold for the 2019-20 GPS Season. It would have to go down as the most bizarre season I have ever experienced. From severe droughts, bush fires, smoke hazards, extreme heat, torrential rain, storms and, to finish the season off, what will be forever known in history, the COVID-19 pandemic. While it’s been very challenging for all coaches, staff and students, I am sure it has made everyone more resilient.

This season saw the return of some old traditions such as the Tennis Age Champion Tournament. This is an internal tournament open for any Riverview student to enter. Congratulations to Lorenzo Tamburrino for taking out the Open Championship. The

grand final was played on Sunday for the traditional Riverview Community Family Tennis Day. It was a fun and enjoyable way to kick-off the summer season.

Our 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 16A and 16B teams travelled to Wheatleigh St – Grand Slam Tennis to play a friendly fixture against Loreto Kirribilli. The players all had a fun and enjoyable day followed by a BBQ hosted by the Loreto parents.

Now in its second season, the pre-season tournament ‘Plate Trophy Series’ took place in Term 4. Taking place across two divisions, the schools play three plate rounds. Riverview 1sts finished in second position in their pool and fourth overall. The 2nds finished in third position in their pool and sixth overall. Well done to The King’s School for winning The Plate Trophy in First Grade and Shore in Second Grade.

The 1st and 2nd teams and their families came together for the Presentation of Caps in the first week of Term 1, 2020. The players were presented their first and second grade caps by Riverview Old Boy, Richard Magney

(OR1998). Richard played five years in the 1st Tennis Team winning two premierships and one as Captain. His main message was working and playing together as a team.

GPS Tennis is a very high standard competition. Riverview’s 1st team finished their season in seventh position with two wins, four losses and one washed out. The 2nds were very similar also finishing in seventh position with two wins, three losses, one wash out and one cancellation due to extreme heat. The two abandoned matches were unfortunate as the 2nds were favourites going into those fixtures.

Well done to Lorenzo Tamburrino who was selected for the Combined GPS Team. This is the second season in a row Lorenzo has made the squad. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the GPS fixtures against CAS and ISA were cancelled.

During the summer holidays, Riverview 1sts hosted the biennial Australian Jesuits Schools Championship which includes Xavier College (Melbourne), St Ignatius’ Athelstone (Adelaide) and St Aloysius’ (Milsons Point).

GPS TENNIS REPRESENTATIVE: Lorenzo Tamburrino

Riverview finished in third position and Xavier College won for the second time in a row; their eighth win since 1996.

To celebrate the end of the season, our 1st and 2nd team players, parents and coaching staff enjoyed dinner at Cova Cottage. It was a great night and an opportunity to thank everyone for the season. A huge thank you to Megan and Chris for organising and setting up the dinner. The room looked fantastic.

The future of Riverview Tennis is looking very positive. With 30 teams across the whole program, we had 42% of games either washed out or drawn, 25% in the winning column and 33.3% in the losing column. Highlights included:

⁄ Six players were undefeated in their singles matches: Jack Bunbury, Matthew Matuszny, Matthew Dwyer, Connor O’Sullivan, Jonny Malek and Xavier Hynes.

⁄ The 15As lost just one match and the 15Bs were undefeated

⁄ The energetic 14As won all their matches in convincing fashion except for a hardfought draw against Grammar. Connor O’Sullivan from the 14As was undefeated in singles and doubles.

⁄ The 13Bs were undefeated and added much needed depth while the 13As only lost one fixture against Sydney High.

Riverview Tennis continues to encourage all players to participate in tournaments to gain experience, exposure and develop their game, providing belief and intelligence on court. School tennis is more team-oriented with players working out the best doubles combinations and ranking their singles matches to best match the opposition. At training, it is about team cohesion and the players working hard for their team. This was a large focus of our program this season and it was evident by the huge improvements made by each age group as the season progressed.

Thank you to the players, parents and coaches for a great 2019-20 season. Your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed and we are very grateful for everyone’s involvement. The coaches bring passion and enthusiasm, and in particular Simon Causley and Wade Hantos have guided and supported the students for over 22 years; the 1sts and 2nds parents are generous in supplying afternoon tea for players while our number one supporter for over 30 years, Matty Shields, continues to cheer on the teams every week.

1st Tennis

COACH: MR WADE HANTOS

7th Place | GPS Competition

As we look back on the most interrupted season in memory, there are many positives that we can take away even though results did not always go our way.

Throughout the Term 4 trial period, many players were given an opportunity to cement their place in the 1sts Team. Wins against St Joseph’s and Sydney Grammar, narrow losses to Newington and The King’s School followed by Scots and High who proved to be a bit too strong, gave the team a clear idea of where we were placed heading into the GPS season.

We trialled many different players and combinations and even in some of the losses, there were some real highlights:

⁄ Hugo Darin and Bryce Crawford played possibly the best doubles, easily winning against Scots

⁄ Nathaniel Graves playing at Number 1 defeated his Newington opponent in three sets

⁄ Sam Lo won a tough three setter against Scots

⁄ Matthew Macken dominated in his singles and doubles against St Joseph’s

⁄ Spirited moments in matches from Lorenzo Tamburrino, Nick Carr, Luke Russell and Sam Leonard who, in his only match, won his singles against Newington

Tennis is the most highly technical and tactical sport and although our effort and attitude were always strong, it was clear during the pre-season that our skills and tennis IQ weren’t quite yet where they needed to be. The GPS season began with us hosting Newington in a day where the heat probably played its part in our loss. Round 2 against Shore was washed out by heavy rain, and the highlight of the day was a very intense handball competition.

Round 3 saw a 5 to 4 win against Grammar in which Hugo Darin led from the front winning both singles and doubles, well supported by Sam Lo and Matt Macken. Special mention goes to Lorenzo who fought for nearly three

hours, eventually losing in two tough tie breakers.

The next three weeks saw the team playing against the stronger schools in the GPS Tennis Competition. Heavy losses to High, King’s and Scots still provided plenty of moments that we took away: Nathaniel losing two tough three setters against High, a strong singles win by Matt Macken and a great first set of tennis by Hugo Darin playing against the number one in GPS. These moments showed that we are not that far away from the stronger 1sts teams.

Ultimately in tennis we are judged by wins/ losses as there are no draws. However, what the scoreboard doesn’t show is what a great group we had this season led by Hugo Darin who has represented the College for many years and well supported by fellow Year 12 students in Lorenzo Tamburrino and Sam Lo. It has been a pleasure to coach/mentor this group.

1ST TENNIS L-R: Bryce Crawford, Lorenzo Tamburrino, Samuel Lo, Hugo Darin, Nathaniel Graves, Matthew Macken

2nd Tennis

COACH: MR SIMON CAUSLEY

7th Place | GPS Competition

The GPS season started with three difficult weeks – the first two of which saw no games played, and the third was a close loss to Grammar. With three winnable weeks gone, the season was all about how we backed up.

Captain Sam Leonard, who went through the GPS season undefeated with his partner Daniel Klobusiak, was to lead the recovery. Both players also ended with two wins from five rounds played in singles, during which Sam managed a clinical finish to take the vital 5th tie of the match against The King’s School in front of a home crowd with it all tied up. Daniel’s distinct style shows that he develops as a player, he will learn the tools to use his great fighting qualities to turn more losing matches into wins.

Luke Russell joined us for the last four matches, where he showed great development and progress, although not yet able to capitalise on the doubles court. The players will always be inspired by his speed and ability

to slide on a hardcourt. Bryce Crawford also joined us as number 1 in the last week of the competition. He was unable to finish his singles or to get the job done in doubles, but he is always a delight to have in the team. Nick Carr played four matches for the 2nds this season and managed to win two in singles, though was not so successful in doubles.

Fredric Nery was our most successful singles player this season, winning three out of his five matches and leaving one match drawn. He also won his last doubles match with partner Alex Darin against St Joseph’s College. Alex returned after a five-year break from playing for the College in Regis A1; a close loss against The King’s School left him with two draws from three matches in singles.

Daniel Bridger has learnt the importance of being part of a team and with continued effort in this area he will achieve his potential and win for and with his team. Adrian Schembri’s return to tennis after injuries and a year out of the sport was a great boost to the tennis IQ within the team. Unfortunately, he sustained another ACL injury and became the Assistant Coach of the 2nds.

It has been an honour to see this everchanging group of players grow and learn. With most schools holding year-round training and competition involvement, starting from behind was always going to be a challenge. The talent is there and I’m pretty sure the premiership ladder will be totally different if the planning, investment and training can start when it should.

Touch Football

MASTER IN CHARGE: MS ELIN MICHELSONS

The 2019-20 summer season saw further growth for the sport of Touch Football, both in the number of teams at the College and in the number of schools entered into the Touch Football summer competition. Touch Football, being a smaller non-GPS sport, saw the return of Trinity Grammar, Waverley College and Reddam House to the competition this season and the addition of Newington College.

Riverview boasted some successful results:

⁄ 13As were undefeated and finished equal 1st on the results table.

⁄ 14As and 15As were also undefeated in their round games with both teams proceeding to complete their season with a convincing grand final win over their opponents, much to the enjoyment of the spectators.

⁄ The Opens 1sts made the grand final against Trinity Grammar for the third consecutive time. However, they

Continual growth was evident across each of the Riverview Touch Football divisions. This could not have been possible without the commitment of the Riverview coaches, parents and players. Training sessions consisted of high expectations and hard work and players stepped up to these challenges each week. Undoubtedly, this led to their ongoing success and development.

The Touch Football program was fortunate to have impressive leaders in the Opens division. These players set a strong example for the up and coming talent. Captain of Touch Football, Daniel Nelson, played an integral role. He inspired loyalty and communicated with confidence at all times.

Riverview has much to be excited about going forward. Each season, the junior players display a growing passion and enthusiasm for Touch Football that should bring further success in the near future. It is thrilling to see these young athletes performing beyond their own expectations and building their selfesteem on the field.

GPS Athletics Championships

The cancellation of playoffs, championships, games, tournaments and meets this year due to COVID-19 has been disappointing, particularly for our many seniors who looked forward to participating in GPS Athletics at the College. While the boys had the opportunity to compete in the 125th Anniversary of the GPS Athletics Championships at Sydney Olympic Park in August, this was bittersweet as it had been brought forward, leaving many feeling underprepared in their preparations in addition to their HSC commitments. In addition, the format had to be changed to follow the COVID-19 Safety plans with the championship spread out over two days. For the first time in GPS Athletics history, each year division was separated and no crowds were allowed in attendance.

The challenges they faced during this season forced them to draw on the very lessons they’ve learned through sports: to be resilient, have a growth mindset and become leaders in and out of sports. The one lesson I hope the seniors can take away from the Coronavirus pandemic is that some things in life are bigger than sports and out of your control. Things don’t always go to plan, and you have to figure out how to push through the rough patches in life. What sports trains us to do when we experience setbacks is to get back up and keep moving.

Senior Athletics

The 2020 GPS Athletics team was led by Captain Gabriel Wood who has taken part in athletics for the College since Year 6. Gabriel led the way as he competed up an age group and placed 3rd in the Open 200m and 4th in the U17 100m championship, running a personal best in both events as well as anchoring the Open 4x100m relay to 3rd place. Other notable performances include: ⁄ Max Holmes placed 3rd in the Open 400m. He then went on to compete in the U17 800m division Open 110m

hurdles in order to help the team score points, where he placed 6th.

⁄ Joshua Johnston made his debut in his first individual GPS track event placing 4th in the U17 400m with a personal best, as well as placing 4th in the Open high jump also with a personal best jump.

⁄ Lachlan Dalton placed 3rd in the Open 110m championship hurdles.

⁄ Louis Dalrymple, in his debut for the school, placed 3rd in U17 high jump.

⁄ Hamish Cressey took a short break from the rugby field to take part in the GPS Athletics championship, placing 3rd in the Open 100m Division and 4th in the Open 200m Championship, running a personal best in both.

⁄ Henry Payne threw a personal best as he placed 3rd in the Open shot.

⁄ Felix Rogers continued his consistent championship performances by running a personal best in both the 800m and 1500m.

⁄ Joseph Roddy took a short break from his representative soccer commitments to support the school athletics program by competing in the Open 800m Division, placing 2nd by 7/100ths of a second in a personal best time of 2:00.49 as well as anchoring the senior 4x400m relay to a 4th place finish. His performance was the

surprise of the senior championship and one of the most exciting races of the day.

⁄ Special congratulations to Mackenzie Thompson for winning the U17 championship shot put and William Lamming for winning U17 division shot put. This was special in that both boys won the same events last year in the U16 division. William will be missed next year.

Junior Athletics

The Junior team consisted of many boys making their debut for the College.

⁄ Thomas Hartman returned in U13 to place 3rd in the 200m championship, 6th in the 100m U13 championship, and 4th in the 90m hurdles - all in a personal best time as well as anchoring the 4x100m relay to a 5th place finish.

⁄ Christian Camus ran strongly in the 1500m to place 2nd in a personal best time, after shaking off his nerves in the U13 800m championship where he placed 5th.

⁄ Brody Folkes placed 5th in the U13 90m hurdles, 2nd in the U13 long jump, 6th in the 100m division as well as 3rd leg of the 4x100m relay.

⁄ Will Morahan, was impressive placing 3rd in the high jump, as well as competing up an age group in the 100m hurdles.

ATHLETICS WINNERS:

⁄ In the U14, Jeremy Studdert returned in both the 800m and 1500m from last year to run a personal best in both.

⁄ Debutant Joshua Price showed he will be one to watch in the future with a gutsy 3rd place finish in the 400m.

⁄ Other notable performances included Jack Ward in the shot put, Samuel

Intermediate Athletics

The Intermediate team ended the weekend finishing 4th overall on the team scores and showing a lot of promise for the season ahead. The highlight of the afternoon and most valuable performer over the two days was Marc Girard. Marc won the U15 800m in 2:00.49, the 1500m in 4:29.23, and placed 2nd in the 400m as well as 5th in the 100m hurdles all with a personal best time. Other impressive performances included:

⁄ Daniel Hopper led the U15 800m division from the start opening a 10m gap and never relinquishing it to finish in a personal best time.

⁄ Liam Dinnell showed his resilience to bounce back from his 5th place in the U16 hurdles after clipping 2 hurdles to place 3rd in the 100m in a personal best time.

⁄ Saxon Mitchell showed he will be one to watch next year as he placed 2nd in the U16 division hurdles in a personal best as well as a leg of the 3rd place intermediate 4x400m relay.

⁄ Timothy Richards shaved 13 seconds

off his personal best in the 1500m and 3 seconds off his 800m on debut.

⁄ Joseph Rooney returned with another fine performance running a personal best in the 800m as well as the anchor leg of the 3rd place intermediate relay.

⁄ William Perkins also showed he will be one to watch next year as he finished the 200m with a personal best and backed up in the U16 400m to finish 2nd also in a personal best by over 2 seconds.

⁄ Nicholas Garling placed 4th in the U16 100m Division.

⁄ Orlando Carr placed 3rd in the long jump as well as 6th in the high jump.

⁄ Rocco Rizzo and Charles Radocaj threw personal bests to place 5th in the shot put along with Jago Lambert who also placed 5th and James O’meara 6th.

⁄ Jack Power, William Lamming and Daniel Cummins made their debuts with some respectable performances to build upon for next year.

Sports has been and will continue to be an outstanding platform to develop better students, athletes and better people through character development. I hope every boy who took part in the athletics championships this year can apply the life lessons that sports teaches us, including resilience, grit, determination, and selflessness, to name a

few, to the current challenges we are facing in the world today.

Well done and thank you to all the boys for your commitment to training in what has been a very difficult time. Thank you to the parents and staff for all your support. I look forward to seeing you all next year and I wish all the seniors the very best in their future endeavours.

MRS CATHALINA WALSH

CAPTAIN: LACHLAN DALTON

We often turn to the world of sports for escape from the ‘real’ world, and track and field is no different. The Riverview Summer Athletics Club made it through what has been a hectic summer track and field season that was filled with many disruptions resulting in postponements and cancellations of competitions due to the bushfires and, in the end, the cancellation of the National Athletics Championships.

Despite the sudden end to the season due to growing concerns from COVID-19, the Riverview Summer Track and Field program can look back on the 2019-2020 season as a year of growth across the board. It was a season full of outstanding achievements with the following athletes all posting personal bests:

⁄ Max Blackley - 400m

⁄ Lachlan Dalton - 110m hurdles and 400m hurdles

⁄ Liam Dempsey - 100m

⁄ Marc Girard - 100m Hurdles, 200m hurdles, 400m and 800m

⁄ Henry O’Donnell - 100m

⁄ Alexander Peters - 1500m and 3000m

Congratulations to Max Holmes, Oscar Williams, Lachlan Dalton and Gabriel Wood for their 2nd place finish in the U18 4x200m relay on Day 1 at the NSW State Relay Championships in November. Captain Lachlan Dalton then teamed up the following day with Henry O’Donnell, Max Blackley and Liam Dempsey to win a bronze medal in the U18 Shot Put relay. Special mention also goes to the team of Max Holmes, Oscar Williams, Lachlan Dalton and Gabriel Prichard who placed a respectable 4th running up two age groups in the U20 age category in the 4x400m relay and just missing out on the bronze medal.

The NSW State Junior Athletics Championships was held Friday the 21-23 February. The College was represented by a small but successful contingent of six boys. Congratulations to the following students who achieved some fantastic results:

⁄ Captain Lachlan Dalton led from the front on day one of the competition running a personal best to win a silver medal in the U20 110m hurdles and backed up to win a bronze medal in the U20 400m hurdles also in a personal best.

⁄ Marc Girard achieved three personal bests winning a bronze medal in the U16 400m, 4th place in the U16 800m and another bronze medal in the U16 200m hurdles.

Other results were:

⁄ Max Holmes – U18 400m final - 4th

⁄ Gabriel Wood – U18 100m heats - 6th, 200m heats - 4th

⁄ Oscar Williams – U20 400m heats - 6th, 200m heats - 6th

⁄ Gabriel Prichard – U20 400m heats 7th, 200m heats - 6th

Elsewhere, it was a consistent outing each week with Jerome Nearhos competing in various Athletics NSW para events for the first time after completing his multi-class classification which allowed him to compete in the 100m, 400m and shot put. Well done Jerome!

It was a bittersweet end to the season as many of the boys ran a personal best at the NSW State Junior Championship with anticipation for further improvement at the National Championships before it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thank you to all the students, staff and parents for staying committed through training, and the ever-changing competition schedule each week. Well done to everyone on some great performances and a great season!

Volleyball

MASTER IN CHARGE: MR GEOFF TESORIERO

The “COVID year”. That’s what 2020 will always be remembered as. As the summer season was concluding our boys were in preseason mode for Volleyball to start preparing for the season ahead. By the conclusion of the summer season, just a few days later, the schools were in lockdown and the season was put on hold. At one stage it looked like we were never going to get a season in. Then thanks to the hard work of all the GPS Schools, the season was able to take place in Term 3 with GPS schools only. Term 3 started well with a few trial games before the season was suspended. When the season resumed, the 1st and 2nd VI were able to fulfil all five rounds and complete an official season –ordinarily this would be 11 rounds including CAS schools. It’s been a very long season, but a very successful one once again for Riverview.

Riverview had 82 registered Volleyball players making up nine teams – our highest numbers so far. The sport creates enormous team camaraderie as it relies heavily on all players being able to contribute their role in the team. Not including the suspended round, byes and internals, we played 32 matches across all teams. From this we had 12 wins (38%) and 23 loses (62%), with many of these games going into the deciding set. For the first time in Riverview Volleyball, we had a player, Henry Payne, selected for the combined GPS Team. Unfortunately, all representative volleyball was cancelled but he will receive his pocket and blazer line.

Our numbers in the lower-opens age-group were very healthy with five teams. The boys had a very enjoyable time and even came away with a few wins. At the start of the season, we predicted 3rd Grade to be our best team and this was the case, losing just the one match against the Volleyball powerhouse of Sydney Boys’. Our U16s made up two teams with a majority of players who were new to the sport, and many of whom came away with a new-found love for the game. The boys thoroughly enjoyed their time and have vowed to continue playing the sport and train hard in the off-season. There is plenty

of potential there and look forward to seeing them play opens next year.

Our Year 9 team were full of man mountains. We were very excited to see so many tall players taking up the sport. With a couple of more years in the sport they will provide the power we need up front. U13s was a mixture of Year 7 and 8 students learning a new skill and just serving the ball over the net was no easy task. By the end of the season, they could all manage to serve with one player doing a jump serve and even managed to come away with a couple of wins.

Fingers crossed, come 2021 we can have a full uninterrupted season again. We look forward to getting back to participating in the Schools Cup and hopefully also the Australian Volleyball Schools Cup on the Gold Coast that was cancelled this year.

Thank you to Ms Trinh Loi for the great work she does as the Volleyball Convenor. We are very grateful for the passion and dedication she puts in to making sure all teams have a fixture on the weekend. I wish everyone all the best for the rest of the year, and I look forward to working with you all in hopefully a nonCOVID restricted world of 2021.

1st Volleyball

COACH: MR GLEN DUNCOMBE

5th Place | GPS Competition

The 1st VI had a very interesting, mixed and somewhat challenging 2020 season, but I congratulate this team for their outstanding commitment to the sport throughout this very trying year. Their commitment and effort at trainings has been wonderful, particularly considering the stresses that they have been put through, not only with the COVID situation, but also their HSC exams pressures as well. Well done lads.

The 2020 winter volleyball season was somewhat chaotic due to the constraints placed upon not only us, but the whole world in general. As a result, the season was very much abbreviated, and the usual quantity of competition matches was reduced to six. This was disappointing for the Riverview boys as they were showing great potential as a team,

and would have relished the opportunity to grow more with the benefit of more matches.

Several of the GPS schools have had a longer history in playing volleyball and have traditionally been very tough to play against, but this year the 1st VI surprised some of their opponents in some very tough and hardfought matches. Whilst the final result may not have always been in our favour, the points were quite even and didn’t always reflect the process.

Despite the turmoil this year, Henry Payne achieved selection as a member of the Honorary 2020 GPS Merit Team –the first time ever for the College. Huge congratulations go to Henry not only for his performance, but also his commitment to the sport and the training and guidance he offers the other players around him.

Oscar Smith only started playing volleyball in 2019, but his enthusiasm and effort earned and solidified his place in the 1st VI team as a Middle Blocker. Whilst cautious at the start, Oscar quickly learned the skills required to play his part and become a strong and formidable player. Oliver Lenzner and Oscar Franklin continued as the two Outside Hitters

this year, and their athleticism and increased ability enabled them to compete very well against their opponents.

Luca McDonald and Sam Magarey were the only two Year 11 players in the 1st VI this year. Both had an outstanding season and continued to grow well as individual and team players. Sam took to the Setting position like no other I have seen, and as a player committed to this sport, his equal is hard to find. Luca is a fabulous all-round player –every aspect of his play is solid, and his effort and love of the game is a pleasure to coach. Seeing these two play again next year will be a delight, and definitely someone for the new players to look up to.

Whilst the 2020 Winter Season was a very tough and mentally exhausting one, it was a successful one for Saint Ignatius’ in many aspects. It is another stepping stone in the expansion and growth of Volleyball at Riverview, and we look forward to seeing more strength and success in the following years.

4th Place | GPS Competition

Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview’s 2nd VI displayed an excellent show of diligence, humility and resilience in the face of adversity during the 2020 Volleyball season. Heading into the season with a great deal of experience, the 2nd VI were quick to understand the complexities of the game all while adopting a mindset of improvement to eventually master these concepts.

Existing team camaraderie between the more experienced Year 12 students was evident early during the season through coherency and communication, especially exhibited by 2020 MVP Ethan Levens and Captain Paul Kenderes. This bond between these boys formed the foundations of teamwork and trust within the team, allowing newer members Damon O’Sullivan and Luke Russell

to easily discover their positions both on and off the court. Younger talents such as Xavier Masztak and Sebastian Ranasinghe shone as the drivers for creativity and improvement within the team, utilising their athletic ability to represent integral offensive and defensive icons throughout the season.

Consistency is key, as Riyan Minaee embodied through his unwavering focus and attitude during every training session despite the multifaceted impacts of COVID-19 during this season. In addition, quality over quantity is a concept that Cameron Mayhew exemplified, whereby despite not having volleyball as a main priority he consistently made the effort to make the most out of every training session he attended.

With a team of eager individuals who shared a common passion for volleyball, schools in the GPS competition very quickly learnt that the Riverview 2nd VI were not a team to be taken lightly. Competitiveness was what every GPS school recognised about Riverview, an element that Thomas Bowie manifested in every match through his willingness to put his body on the line for any potential to win the point. Damon O’Sullivan and Luke Russell recognised their delayed start in Volleyball and committed numerous unseen hours of

diligence during their school breaks to catch up with the rest of the team. Their hard work became evident during the latter part of the season as Damon O’Sullivan became a leading voice on court and Luke Russell became an fundamental structure in defense.

The 2nd VI had numerous learning curves as reflected in the season’s similar win/ratio, however there was always an atmosphere of eagerness for experimentation of new technique and gameplay, ultimately intensifying a passion and enthusiasm for the sport.

Water Polo

MASTER IN CHARGE: MR TOBY MARTIN

The 2019-20 season began full of promise and expectation that this would be the year the ‘View men would lift the premiership trophy for the first time since 2011. With two Australian Schoolboys in the team (Joel Smith and Charlie Hunter) and several players who have been part of the 1st team for many years, optimism remained high through the pre-season and early rounds.

It is hard to define the Open teams’ season this year. In many ways it was a success, with the 1sts and 2nds amassing a total of 15 wins, 5 losses and 1 draw. New faces to the program also provided us with strength and depth, which had been something that was lacking, particularly in the 2nds. However, against their own lofty standards the feeling was that of dejection in their final table position of third. After a strong start, the 1sts faced powerhouse Newington, winners of the past three competitions and current holders of the Trans-Tasman Cup, making them the best schoolboy team in Australia and New Zealand. In one of the most thrilling matches played, Newington narrowly edged Riverview by a goal to all but seal the premiership in the 4th round, such is the nature of the competition. The team should be incredibly proud of their efforts in arguably the toughest schoolboy competition in Australia.

Across the junior competitions, the standard also lifted in 2019-20. On a weekly basis the Riverview students in the U16A, U16B, U14A and U13A teams came up against schools with much larger programs and they consistently held their own. The spirit in which they play the game and represent the College is a testament to the dedicated coaching staff of Old Boys who create a great culture within the program. A special mention to the U16Bs who, largely made up of new players, went through the season only recording one loss.

This season marked the end of an era for some significant senior players. Joel Smith, Charlie Hunter, Nicholas Quinn and Finlay Harris have been instrumental members of the 1sts for many seasons and have grown into incredible players under the watchful tutelage of Mr John Hahn and Mr Aidan Roach. Each of these students has represented the GPS, with Nicholas Quinn receiving further honours in the CIS team and both Joel and Charlie in the Australian Schoolboys squad. While their impact in the pool as players cannot be understated, the role they have played in the development of the younger players will leave Riverview Water Polo in a strong position for future years.

The Riverview Water Polo Program has always been blessed with incredibly talented and passionate coaches, and the 2019-20 season was no different. Ably led by Mr John Hahn in his role as Coaching Co-ordinator, the program instilled similar training across the age groups meaning that players are well placed to progress through the program for many years to come. A special thanks to John, Mr Aidan Roach (OR2008), Mr Jack Rector (OR2016), Mr Jacob Taranto (OR2017), Mr Will Mulhearn (OR2019), Mr Alex Hooper (OR2018) and Mr Aidan Farmer (OR2017) for their involvement. Finally, thank you to the College staff who selflessly give up their weekends to make sure the students can continue to access our program – so to Mr Peter Wakeling, Ms Rhian Lovell and Mr Aaron Hooper, thank you.

3rd Place | Combined GPS - CAS Competition

The team had a great season this year to finish third. We played some great games against Newington, Joeys, Knox and Trinity, pushing the eventual joint winners in both games, by just losing to Newington and a heartbreaking last second loss to Knox. But what I am most personally proud about was the way the boys conducted themselves and bounced back after the losses, showing great character.

I am very grateful for the boys applying themselves throughout the season, with all early morning training sessions before school. It was a great pleasure to see them apply all the hard work in the games which was evident through us having the best defensive side in the competition. I have coached most of the boys for two or three years now and it has been a pleasure to see each one of them improve as players and most importantly grow into the young men they are today.

A big thank you to all the senior players and best of luck with all the upcoming exams and your future endeavours, I will miss coaching each of you. To the young players I look forward to coaching you next season.

6th Place | GPS Competition

Once again, the seconds produced a season to be very proud of. The team was pegged as the underdog from the start with many of its players found missing or injured. It was up to the leadership from some of the senior players such as William Lamming, Sam Allsopp and Nick Gunning to ensure that the team turned up ready to play and focused on the task at hand.

The season opened with a flurry of back to back wins to get the team on a roll. However, this run of luck was disrupted by the powerhouse known as Newington. For the middle part of the season, the team fell into a bit of a lull until some impressive moments of leadership from young Fred Wormwell, Hugh Ross and Tom Henry who have developed very well throughout the season and were able to start putting goals on the board for the ‘View students. This late surge led to three

back to back wins to close the season and rounded out what was a very successful - but more so educational - season for the players who learnt a lot. The younger students who will continue to play into next year and have a shot at the 1st team will be well equipped with a great season under their belts, and for the seniors, they have done Riverview proud leaving on a high note.
