Rector

FR TOM RENSHAW, SJ

For us as a Catholic and Jesuit school, cura personalis - the care of the individual - lies at the heart of who we are. We are a community that values and cherishes relationships – our relationship with ourselves, with our God, with each other, with our environment, and the way in which we engage with our local and global communities, especially people who find themselves living on the margins of society. Our God is a God of relationship – the relationship inherent within the Trinity – a God who is the embodiment of love, of servant leadership and of hope. For us as Christians, Jesus is the example of a fulfilled human life, a life grounded in relationship especially with people who have been excluded, and those who need healing and/or forgiveness.

As a Jesuit school, we seek to provide opportunities for our students to develop their whole sense of self – spiritually, academically, artistically, relationally, culturally, and athletically. This year has been a year of rebuilding and strengthening community, following the two years of disruption arising from the COVID pandemic. This year has had its own challenges with many of us contracting the virus, some of us more than once. To our students, I acknowledge and congratulate you for the way in which you have engaged with school life, especially our Year 8 and 9 students for your efforts, in what has been your first uninterrupted year of high school. It has been great seeing you embrace many opportunities and enjoying the new friendships you have formed.

Our student leaders this year offered us the motto of “Seek the Summit”. Up until the feast of Saint Ignatius on 31 July, we were still celebrating the Ignatian Year. Not only did this motto seek to inspire us throughout the year, it acknowledged subtly, the life of Ignatius, and in particular his ascending the summit of Montserrat in Spain, where he laid down his sword before the Black Madonna as an outward sign of his ongoing conversion, following his “cannonball moment” in the Battle of Pamplona, 501 years ago. I congratulate our College Captain James Craig, and our Vice-Captains, Jack Roe (Day Boys) and Xavier Graham (Boarders)

SeeK tHe summit

fortheir generous, collaborative and inclusive leadership this year; they have helped us reconnect as a community as we have ascended the summit together. James, Jack and Xavier, along with our House Captains, Vice Captains and Boarding Proctors, embodied, through their actions, the best of Ignatian leadership.

This year I returned to the classroom to teach a Year 9 Commerce class and I became a mentor in Campion House. Both of these decisions have been life-giving and enabled me to develop stronger relationships with these students, as well as many of their friends. Within my mentor group, I particularly enjoyed seeing the students relate well with each other, and especially the way the older students welcomed the Year 7 students to our House and the mentor group. In returning to the classroom, I have learnt much from my colleagues and students this year. I have a deeper appreciation of the day to day experience of our classroom teachers, including the greater transparency of our practice through the use of our learning management system, Canvas. I would like to acknowledge the dedicated efforts of all of our teachers for their commitment to developing relationships with our students, which in turn enriches the teaching and learning that takes place each day. These relationships are strengthened by the generosity of all our staff involved in co-curricular programmes, as well as our boarding community. All of our efforts are made possible through the

professionalism and assistance of our Support and Operational Staff who ensure the College functions seamlessly each day. For all the efforts of our staff, I say thank you.

Throughout the 2020s, the Jesuits have four global priorities:

⁄ Showing the way to God through the Spiritual Exercises and Discernment;

⁄ Walking with the excluded and marginalised;

⁄ Journeying with youth; and

⁄ Caring for our common home.

Journeying with youth is a daily experience for us at the College. Through the efforts of so many within the College, and especially our Religious Education Faculty and the Ignatian Centre, we seek to help our students, staff and wider community understand more fully who God is and how he is present in our lives each day. Stopping each day at midday to engage in the prayer of the Examen is so important because it helps foster the practice of reflection and engenders a deeper sense of interiority, enabling us to become more attuned to the daily movements of the spirits within ourselves.

Through the leadership of the Ignatian Centre and the generosity of so many within our community, we are able to walk with and support the excluded and the marginalised, not just within our city of Sydney, but also within regional New South Wales. Through

the return of the Jesuit Mission Bazaar this year we have also been able to make a difference to many communities in Asia, India and parts of Africa. As a way of celebrating the end of the Ignatian Year, we walked in solidarity as part of our Saint Ignatius Day celebrations, raising just over $80,000 for Jesuit Mission.

It has been a source of consolation that our Ignatian Service programmes have rebounded this year. Our Year 10 Country Placements and the two immersions for Year 11 to First Nations communities had a transformative effect upon our students. We are looking forward to restarting our overseas immersion experiences in 2023. I particularly acknowledge and thank Mrs Katherine Zerounian, our Faith-in-Service Co-ordinator, for her extraordinary commitment over the last decade. After 15 years at the College, she leaves us to continue living out her faith in action as the new Principal of the Jesuit primary school for First Nations students, Redfern Jarjum College. Congratulations and every blessing, Mrs Zerounian.

A particular focus for the College this year has been deepening our commitment to Caring for Our Common Home. Mrs Sharon McLean has been an outstanding mentor for our students in this area. She has assisted them to deepen their awareness of our day to day environment. Significant work has also taken place in the area of curriculum mapping. In 2023, the College will launch its Caring for Our Common Home Committee to help inspire, guide, and monitor our continuing efforts associated with this important global issue.

A number of longstanding staff members are retiring at the end of this year. I pay tribute to:

Mrs Sally Tranter who has been a member of the College Executive and our Deputy Principal – Staff for the last 14 years. She has pioneered the College’s approach to Human Resource Management. Over the last decade Sally has established the Ignatian Leadership Seminars across Australia and the Asia Pacific. She has been instrumental in affirming and promoting the leadership gifts of women within our community.

Mrs Margaret Cullen and Mrs Heather Cloudsdale have been inspirational teachers at our Regis Campus over the last three decades, especially in the classroom and the library. Together they have given 57 years of service to the College.

Mr James Rodgers has had a 51 year association with the College, initially as a student from 1965 to 1971 and then as a teacher from 1978-2022. James has been a gifted and committed teacher of English, History, Religious Education, Latin and Greek. Along with Martin Scroope, he was the first lay person to be appointed a Division Head, leading Year 8 boarders in 1982 before becoming the Year 10 Division Head from 1984-1987. In the late 1980s and early 1990s he was the Head of Claver House and then the Senior Housemaster. In 2001, Mr Rodgers was appointed to the College Executive as the Director of Students. In more recent times he has been the College Ambassador to the Old Ignatians’ Union. Mr Rodgers has also been a successful coach of the 1st Cricket, 1st XV, and 1st Debating teams. He has authored a number of books about the history of the College, focusing on Debating and the Old Boys who have served in the war. Many generations of students and their families, including me, are deeply grateful to Mr Rodgers for the way in which he has influenced our lives and helped us to become the people that God invites us to be.

I also acknowledge and thank my five brother Jesuits who are part of the Riverview Jesuit Community. Fr Joe Dooley SJ has continued to be a much loved College Chaplain, celebrating many masses, chatting with staff and students and assisting with retreats. Fr Gerald Brennan SJ continues to care for us in the residence as our Minister. Fr Michael Hansen SJ continues to be creative in the spirituality ministry, especially with his First Spiritual Exercises; he has been forming spiritual directors in various parts of Asia and North America. Fr Steve Sinn SJ continues

as the leader of the Bridge Community in Bathurst accompanying men and women with love and compassion as they transition back into society after spending time in jail. Fr Mick Kelly SJ transitioned to living at the residential aged care facility, St Paul’s in Northbridge.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge and thank Mr Greg MacKay, the Chair of the Board, and Dr Paul Hine, along with the College Board and the College Executive, for their leadership, friendship and guidance this year. I particularly thank Mr Pat Lowe for his efforts as our Acting Principal in Term 3. Thank you for all your support and encouragement of me this year.

Principal

DR PAUL A. HINE

We look back on a year that has been ‘betwixt and between’. The new year dawned with COVID at the doorstep, and its ongoing presence had a vicarious impact on school events and activities at different stages across the year. But, it was a progressive climb out of the lockdown and the isolation of 2020 and 2021, with many aspects of the educational program reinstated after what has been a long interregnum. With school operations and events — from House masses and assemblies to sporting programs, not to mention the prophylaxis of face masks which surfaced with regular monotony in the first half of the year — the diverse elements of the Riverview story were rebuilt and carried forward. For that, and in the best of the Ignatian tradition, I extend a sincere and heartfelt statement of thanks to all who worked so hard to see the goals of 2022 come to fruition, despite the vagaries of a pandemic that we seem to be emerging from.

While I submit this synopsis of the year, I acknowledge and thank the College Board, under the judicious and measured governance of the Chair, Greg Mackay, for a period of sabbatical during Term 3. I also extend a sincere statement of appreciation to Mr Pat Lowe, the Rector Fr Tom Renshaw SJ, and the School Executive, for their seamless conduct of affairs during my absence, enabling the school to report favourably upon all that has transpired during the year, and ready to face that which lies ahead.

Ignatian Spirituality and Faith Formation

As a Catholic school in the Jesuit tradition, the absence of liturgy during COVID on a regular basis for the way that it celebrates our faith tradition, was sorely missed. For the last two years, many House masses were cancelled due to restrictions imposed by the government and educational authorities. That every House, even if in modified form, was able to come together to participate in the faith life of the school was indeed a blessing in 2022. I extend, on behalf of the College community, my sincere thanks to Fr Tom and Fr Joe, who shoulder a significant liturgical

program across many months, to enliven and animate such an important part of school life.

Complementary aspects of the spiritual life of the school were also reinstated as the year progressed. Reflection Days occurred across all year levels, with senior students responding with zeal to the opportunity to lead Reflection Days for the younger boys. Modelling is one of the most powerful forms of education and to that end, I wish to thank the senior boys who took up the challenge and responded with such integrity and commitment to the call.

Perhaps the biggest casualty of the COVID years has been the service program, one which also was revived with vigour on a number of levels. The release of restrictions as the year progressed saw our young men back out in the field, taking up the cause of the marginalised in myriad ways. Hospitals, centres for the disabled, agencies for the homeless and aged care facilities saw the boys back out in the business of learning to serve and serving to learn. This is a reciprocal enterprise, one which is found in the tap root of the Christian gospels, and which is so central to the pillar of Jesuit education.

Of particular significance was the return of Year 10 Service Week, which saw the boys responding to the needs of a wide range of social service agencies and giving of themselves to deepen their understanding of the mission of the school. For the first time in three years, visits to country regions of NSW were undertaken, as were immersions to

Arnhem Land, Cape York and Bathurst Island. It is clear that the rebuild is on, although there is more to pursue as the COVID cloud begins to clear over the months ahead.

While the immersion programs overseas to our many partner relationships have been on hold, the virtual immersion program that has replaced it over the last two years continued. Particularly noteworthy is the number of Year 11 boys who joined the Cambodia virtual immersion, one which has been a central pillar of the program over recent years. Late in 2022, Mr John Gilles together with some senior staff travelled to Cambodia to reestablish the first of the Immersion Programs in 2023, something which is intended to reboot this central aspect of Jesuit education as a new year comes into view.

Teaching and Learning

Of significant note, for the first time in the last three years, the teaching and learning program remained in the grounds and classrooms of the College for the entire year. While the spectre of COVID and the virulence of Influenza A saw many absences and required ongoing vigilance and adjustments to many other aspects of the educational program, teaching and learning remained unaffected. For that, we can be very grateful and let us hope that this is a portent for what lies ahead.

Two specific school goals in the area of Teaching and Learning were undertaken and

Year 10 Reflection Day

Year 10 Service Week

accomplished. The first was the development of a data dashboard to track and monitor student progress on a granular level. Russell Newman and Brett Houghton have worked tirelessly to bring this project to fruition, which tracks every student/cohort/subject assessment in real time, offering powerful new educational tools in data and trend analysis. While the initiative is still in its early stages, much development will occur over the years ahead. The other major goal was the curriculum interface with RE on ‘Caring for our Common Home’. Stemming from Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si and promoted widely in Jesuit schools throughout the world via the document Jesuit Schools: A Living Tradition In The 21st Century, it is an education in values for a more sustainable world. While the fundaments of literacy and numeracy are implicit to all teaching and learning activities, there is a priority place for values education in Jesuit schools. And in the area of sustainability and environment, climate scientists are making clear the need for immediate and significant change. I wish to particularly thank Ms Sharon McLean for her outstanding work in this area and also Ms Erin Johnson, both of whom have worked tirelessly on the curriculum interface through the Magis program. The long-term benefits of this work will be many and find expression in young men who have a strong regard for all life forms on the planet, for the proactive need to conserve energy and resources in a quest for a more just and equitable world.

Pastoral Care

A most pleasing aspect of 2022 was the return to a robust House system of pastoral care and to the many activities which radiate from the House structure. Among other things, Athletics and Swimming Carnivals, House-based activities, integrated House meetings, inter-House competitions, social justice activities, House Masses along with a raft of contingent events made 2022 one to remember. Perennial events such as King of the Mountain, Inter-House Basketball, Chess and Table Tennis resumed after two years of absence, and with them came the

colour and life synonymous with young men fully engaged in the positive process of community-building.

The visible face of student leadership was also given new life as House Captains and Vice Captains, along with the Executive Student Leadership Team, had ongoing access to the student body and who drove many student affairs as the year progressed. To have the modelling and inimitable influence of the student leaders on a daily basis not only gives student voice and responsibility legitimacy in the next generation of leaders, but it cultivates the institution of leadership among

our newest arrivals and builds depth and integrity to student affairs across the College. I wish to pay tribute to James Craig, Jack Roe, and Xavier Graham for the manner in which they led their peers, and to thank the House Captains, Vice Captains and Proctors who gave willingly and generously in service to the College community.

The quality of pastoral care in any school or organisation is in due proportion to the strength, well-being and health of the community. Special events, such as the Friends Listen Assembly and R U OK? Day, through a process of shared vulnerability and support, were able to return giving rise to the sense of shared support for the most vulnerable who need care. These events are anything but passive or benign, for they entail the active and committed engagement of many to profile and promote the cause of well-being in the school.

Community

One of the distinguishing features of this remarkable school is the strength of the expansive community of parents, Old Boys, past parents and friends of the College. Being able to gather again, be that at boarding expos, OIU functions, Nostalgia Lunches, special events such as the City and Country Mothers' Lunch, the Joey’s weekend or the many reunions, was such a joy after all were suspended during the intensity of COVID. The frontiers broadened considerably as the year progressed, with visits to destinations

near and far, including Darwin, Dubai, London and New York. Each held its own Riverview flavour but that unmistakable affection for the College was palpably evident on each occasion.

One of the exciting developments unique to 2022 was the Vision Valley experience with Pymble Ladies College. Over 40 boys in Year 9 joined a three-week residential program with girls from Pymble – pioneers of a new initiative designed to see authentic relationship building between young men and women in a mutually respectful environment. Co-educational classes were conducted during the day and were augmented by a range of personal development and outdoor education activities. Strongly endorsed by the boys and girls who attended, this program has potential for further development and expansion over the years ahead.

Two very expansive events in Term 3 gave evidence of the strength of the Riverview community. The first was the Joeys V Riverview Rugby, which saw the largest crowd in history attend. Over 17,000 came from far and wide to the Leichhardt Oval to witness the game, drawing a crowd of massive proportions in the aftermath of COVID, and the colour and animation of the occasion were abundant. The second event was the Jesuit Mission Bazaar, which burst into life in September after two years in recess. This event consummates the community across generations, be they neighbours, boarding families, Old Boys and past parents. Thankfully, beautiful spring weather enabled

the best of Sydney to be on show and to host the thousands who attended and supported the cause of Jesuit Missions across the world.

Resource, Facilities and Environment

For the last three years much preparation has been undertaken to move into Stage 2 of the College Master Plan. Following the completion of the Therry Building in 2018, there has been a desire to transform and integrate the learning environments in Mathematics, Science, Engineering, Technology and Physical Education. That came to fruition in the final weeks of 2022 as the foundations for the new building, Wingaru, were laid. The naming of the building entailed a lengthy process of consultation with First Nations people, particularly Uncle Denis Foley, Kaleb Taylor and the First Nations boys who are enrolled at the College. In Cammeraygal language, Wingaru means ‘to think’, a word which encapsulates the Jesuit impulse towards reflection, discernment and depth, with a spirituality unique to country and synonymous with its culture. This will be a landmark building that will push the teaching and learning of these subjects into the latter part of the 21st Century and I extend a statement of sincere appreciation to Mr Matt Gordon, Chair of the Building and Property Committee, and to all who have contributed so much to this project.

Significant capital works were also completed to take effect in 2022. The much-needed upgrade to Charles Fraser House was completed on time and in budget, as was the first upgrade to the toilets in Third Yard since the facility was built over half a century ago. A full assessment of the grounds and ovals has been undertaken for the way that long-term upgrades are required after years of incessant use and changing weather patterns. The first of these is programmed for 2023 with subsequent priorities and re-developments to occur over the years ahead.

One of the many lessons that COVID taught the education sector was the importance of identifying and managing risk. It has been a high priority over recent years as all aspects of risk — financial, reputational, safety, compliance and the list goes on — are interrogated and assessed. The College Executive is primarily concerned with operational risks while the College Board focuses on strategic risks. While the focus on risk is not the most alluring part of the school’s operation, it is necessary and important to the effective management and well-being of the community.

Gratitude

I am acutely mindful of the fact that this community is the beneficiary of enormous generosity and support. That begins with the Directors of the Saint Ignatius’ College Board, who give freely of their valuable time to drive the affairs of governance and strategic futures, through to the staff and students who respond with alacrity and integrity to their mission. To the staff – be they teaching or administration and support staff, I extend a statement of deep appreciation, for they give wholly to the mission of the College and have done so under enormous difficulty over the last three years. We are supported by a

legion of parents and alumni, who support the affairs of this College in every way – from the requests to support the social justice priorities of the College through to one of the largest bursary programs of its kind in Australia. To each and all, I extend a sincere statement of thanks. This support is never assumed or taken for granted; it is deeply valued and sincerely appreciated. As we face another year, it is my hope that we continue the climb out of COVID and see this school continue to forge its place as one of the strongest providers of Catholic and Jesuit education across Australia. And, I thank all who will give ‘without counting the cost’, to this cause.

Archivist

MS CATHY HOBBS

Riverview Archives was established in 1974 when the then Rector Headmaster, Peter Quin SJ, had the foresight to bring together into one secure area all the College’s archival material. Prior to this, for nearly a century, historical documents recording the life of the school were scattered throughout various offices and storage areas - including the roof cavity of the Arrupe.

Riverview Archives supports the College by providing a permanent home for the historical records, photographs, memorabilia, and museum objects which serve as the memory bank for the College. The Archives also aims to promote and share the rich heritage of the College and the Jesuit tradition with our students, the wider Riverview community and the general public.

Capstone Staff Visits

The Capstone Program is a four-year program for staff as they commence at Riverview.

Each year, key elements of the Ignatian story are shared with staff, beginning with the life of Ignatius and the history of the College. As part of the program, staff visited the Archives Museum to view displays on various aspects of the College history.

Year 7 History Class Visits

The visit relates to a Unit of the history curriculum which requires students to investigate the ancient past. As a part of the unit of study, students visit the Riverview Archives Museum to understand the construction of history and preservation of the past. The outcomes of the Unit which relate to their visit are:

⁄ Describing the nature of history and archaeology and explaining their contribution to an understanding of the past.

⁄ Identifying the meaning, purpose and context of historical sources.

⁄ Using evidence from sources to support historical narratives and explanations.

Year 8 English Class Visits

During Term 3, Year 8 English classes visited the Archives Museum for the first time this year as part of their unit of study, “Our Story”. The unit explored the value of memoirs by looking at the text, The Happiest Refugee by Anh Do and asked students to value the stories of others – what we can learn from, and about others. During the visit to the Archives the students were able to explore stories of people who were associated with the College. Several displays using archival documents and museum items were set up, each one telling the story of a Riverview personality from the past. Students were divided into groups with each group researching a particular personality and reporting back to the class with their findings. The Riverview personalities included:

Ewald Uechtritz (OR1938)

A boarder of German heritage from Rabaul. He was a popular student becoming College Captain in his final year. After travelling to Germany for a holiday in 1939, he was conscripted into the German Navy and found himself the official enemy of his Australian friends during WWII.

Clement Lacy (OR1937)

Clement Lacy was Dux of the college in 1937. He served in World War II and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross by the Royal Australian Air Force for taking part in flying operations against many heavily defended targets in Germany.

Bruno da Roza (OR1942)

Bruno da Roza was from Hong Kong and along with his two younger brothers was enrolled at Riverview. Bruno’s parents were still living in Hong Kong when the Japanese invaded in 1942. Bruno and his brothers were unaware of the fate of their parents and feared that they had been killed during the invasion. It was not until 1943 that they found out that their parents were alive, had managed to evade the Japanese, escape Hong Kong and had landed in Australia. It was also in 1943 at the end of his schooling, that Bruno enlisted into the Army joining the Training Camp in Queensland.

Ewald, Clement and Bruno attended Riverview around the same time, with Bruno a Junior student when Ewald and Clement were Seniors. In fact, Ewald and Clement were in the same Rugby Team and would have known each other well, little imagining that they would be on opposite sides of the war only a few years later.

Father Frank Gorman SJ

Father Gorman SJ had a long association with Riverview. In 1946 to 1947 he was Third Division Prefect. He returned to Riverview in 1962 as Rector until 1967. During 1968 to 1971 he served as a Chaplain to the Armed Forces and did a tour of duty to Vietnam. He was awarded the Efficiency Decoration for long military service. He returned to Riverview in 1978 to teach Classics. During his time at Riverview, he coached rugby, cricket and rowing and was also involved with the cadets. Gorman Field is named after him.

Fr Joseph Dalton SJ

Joseph Dalton was born in Waterford, Ireland, on 12th February 1817 and died in the College infirmary on 5th January 1905, aged 87. He was the Foundation Rector and guiding spirit of Riverview's first 25 years. He was a man of great strength and vision, tolerant and wise, devoted to the College and all its members. With him originated the family spirit which has always characterised Riverview; “he seemed to know everybody”, wrote a Jesuit who knew him, “and it was quite delightful to feel the friendly sentiments he seemed to impart.”

Charles Adrian Donnelly

Charles Adrian Donnelly was on board the Aurora, the supply ship for Ernest Shackleton’s first attempt at a Transcontinental Crossing of Antarctica (1914 –1916) when it became stranded in pack-ice for over a year. The diary which he kept on board the stranded ship tells the tale of survival of the crew as they listened to the timber ship creak and groan under the force of the pack ice, fearing that the ship would succumb to the pressure and eventually break up.

Archival display for the Nostalgia Luncheon for Class of 1939 to 1971

After a break of several years due to COVID, more than 150 Old Boys from the Classes of 1939 to 1971, along with their wives and friends, attended the Nostalgia Luncheon in the Ramsay Hall. The luncheon provided an opportunity for those who attended to gather and reminisce. Historical displays of photographs and donated items were set up in the Ramsay Hall showcasing the years 1939 to 1971.

Pastoral Care

DEPUTY PRINCIPAL STUDENTS:

MR PATRICK LOWE

DEAN OF STUDENTS:

MR RUSSELL KAM

The College’s Mission is to produce young men who are cognisant of and responsive to global citizenship in a rapidly changing world. As the world continued to rapidly change in 2022, pastoral care programs were implemented this year to allow our students to increase their awareness of and response to their local and global context.

Our student leaders commenced the year by announcing their Student Motto for 2022, “Seek the Summit”. College Captain James Craig, when announcing the motto, said:

Similar to Ignatius following the Battle of Pamplona, the College Community has been faced with a mountain, an obstacle to overcome: the ramifications of COVID-19. It’s important to remember that every year group’s mountains are unique, and in many cases, affect the individual. As the leadership team, we hope that we can exemplify Chris Lowney’s notion that “crisis creates opportunity”, as we strive to seek the summit. It’s going to be a year full of large events and exciting camaraderie, and I look forward to serving the boys throughout it.

The College is grateful to James, Vice Captain Day Boys, Jack Roe, and Vice Captain Boarders, Xavier Graham, who, together with their House Captains and Vice Captains, served our community by taking and creating so many opportunities to create camaraderie. This included the introduction of the Summit Cup, which was established to recognise and reward the House who earned the most points through inter-House events. All events were designed and run by student leaders, who were able to also raise funds through these events to support Jesuit Mission. Congratulations to Chishom House for being the inaugural winners of the Summit Cup.

With the re-emergence of society from the restrictions of COVID, 2022 saw both a Year 10 Challenge and a Year 9 Challenge. The Year 10 Challenge was run in May, allowing our 2021 Year 9 cohort to complete their Challenge experiences of Bush Week, Hospitality, Bronze Medallion, Motor

Mechanic and Maintenance, and the Sports, History, Engineering and Agriculture Days. The Year 9 Challenge was, thankfully, run at its usual time in November, when our current Year 9 students enjoyed activities that encouraged their independence both collectively and individually. Congratulations to all students who completed their Challenge in 2022 and we express our gratitude to our Year 9 Challenge Coordinators, Mrs Vanessa Petersen and Mr George Sacco, in addition to the many staff who accompanied students, for their commitment to operating this highly valued and valuable program.

2022 saw the strengthening of the College’s initiatives supporting Respectful Relationships and Consent. This included a pilot residential program with Pymble Ladies’ College involving a three week co-educational environment at Vision Valley for a subset of Year 9 students. These students stayed in separated, supervised lodges whilst sharing with Pymble students academic lessons, spiritual formation sessions, meals, pastoral care sessions, activities and most other aspects of daily student life. This requires significant adjustment involving almost every directorate of the College and we wish to particularly recognise the Head of Year 9 Residential Program, Mr Joshuah Morris, the Assistant Head of Year 9 Residential Program, Mr Joshua Conlon, and our colleagues in Teaching and Learning for the enormous work they completed with Pymble staff to support this important initiative. Given the overwhelmingly positive feedback received regarding the first pilot program, a second

pilot program is proposed for 2023 Year 9 students that involves an expansion of this exciting initiative.

The focus of the Pastoral Care team, comprising the Heads and Assistant Heads of House, the Psychological Services and Student Office teams, in addition to the staff involved in the Mentor, Co-curricular and First Nations programs, remains the care of the individual – cura personalis. It is through the expertise, like mindedness and like heartedness of the individuals in this team that we communally move towards cura apostilica, the care of the entire College. This enormous team of people, together with our parent community, share their concern for and support of each of our students. This concern and support means that our students are better equipped to deal with their rapidly changing world at a local and global level, and for this we offer our gratitude.

Counselling

HEAD OF PSYCHOLOGICAL

SERVICES: MR BENJAMIN MOFFATT

2022 saw a welcome return to campus for an uninterrupted year of classes, activities and community events. The past year has given the Riverview community a chance to reconnect with each other, rekindle traditions and adjust to the new normal of being back at school after two years of lockdowns and change.

In 2022, we saw a steady increase in overall referrals, up 27% from pre-COVID 2019 and increasing by a further 3% in the past 12 months. We feel this change is a reflection of the improved access to our team, combined with our students ‘taking stock’ of the past few years and seeking support after reflecting that they might need some strategies and care, to process the changes they have experienced.

Monitoring and analysing counselling referrals helps our team identify patterns and refine our support for the changing needs of the community. One such pattern was the correlation between mental health problems

and a history of sleep difficulties. In our ongoing efforts to support the entire student body, we surveyed Riverview students to understand more about their needs regarding the important topic of sleep. Our Counselling team then met with students to share the results of the survey, identify potential problems revealed in the survey, and offer accessible strategies to assist our students get the rest they need. As always, our students engaged actively in the discussion and impressed us with their interest in establishing deeper levels of understanding.

2022 has been a very exciting year for our team with lots of new faces. Miss Ashleigh Bierton, who has been a much-loved member of the Counselling team since 2017, gave birth to her son in October 2022 and is now on leave until 2023. We wish her the very best during this special time with her new family.

We also welcome some new members to the team this year. Miss Eleni Smirniotis is our team’s first social worker, joining as a College Counsellor in the Senior School to offer a fresh perspective and complement the team with her broader, systemic assessment frameworks. Her experience, unique training, and boundless energy have quickly established her as a highly valued member of the team.

Leah Phipps and Michal Fisher will also be joining the team in January 2023; Miss Phipps will take on the role of College Counsellor in the Senior School while Mrs Fisher will provide counselling for our Regis students. We look forward to having their knowledge and expertise in the New Year.

The restrictions over the past three years required our Counselling team to use creativity to maintain our links with neighbouring schools. As professional development shifted to online formats, we have been able to host or join other schools and attend training together. In this way, we have formed close bonds with schools in the North Shore region. This in turn, led to the revival of the North Shore Counsellors Association. We now meet each term to share ideas and support each other to provide the best service for our respective schools.

With 2023 ahead, we continue to look forward to the opportunity to support our boys, their families and the staff here, and to play our part in serving the Riverview Community.

Student Faith LeadershipLeading into the Good News

2022 was a year like no other, full of life, energy and the re-establishment of programs that had lain dormant for two years - hand in hand with the challenge of extreme weather conditions, unprecedented pressure on education and educators, and the teething issues of reinvigorating pre-existing programs in an almost-post-COVID world. The hopes and joys, fears and anxieties were real. It was in this milieu that the Ignatian Centre sought to lead into the Good News, to keep telling the transformational story of Jesus Christ whose life, death and resurrection freed humanity from all bonds, to work towards a reign that God would recognise. There are many at the College whose lives tell this story without saying a word - in particular, we are learning that there are many faith-filled students who do this with aplomb, and join with educators for the big story of Catholic Christianity to live and breathe.

This year also saw the Ignatian Centre farewell two important people who have served the community here for extended periods. Katherine Zerounian worked in the Ignatian Centre for 16 years, and Mark Diggins for 23 years; we are grateful for the impact that their work has had on students, staff and parents alike throughout this time.

Last year’s restrictions led to the creation of the Virtual Immersion Program, whereby Saint Ignatius’ students help their Cambodian counterparts to learn English. Riverview students undertook this in the Therry Building, and their Cambodian counterparts in the slums of Phnom Phen. This program was run again twice as an expression of the Year 10 and Year 11 Ignatian Service Program. Here are some of the comments that the Cambodian students made when asked of their experience of participating with their Riverview friends:

⁄ “My partner is so nice and understand the need to speak slowly”

⁄ “I understand my English is not good enough yet and it is another motivation to improve” ⁄ ●“I feel close and bonded with my buddy”

The Good News of the Gospel leads people to a more promising future, and it is clear that Riverview students were great exponents of pointing towards a hope-filled future for our Cambodian friends.

For the first time in two years, students from Year 10 were able to participate in the much loved Country Placement Programs. This year we saw students travel to the Northern Territory (Bathurst Island and Marlkawo) and rural NSW (Moree and Bourke), and in addition, a group spent time at the Jesuit Parish at Emerton with Jesuit Social Services. Participation in this program exposes students to the gritty realities of the lives of First Nations people and learn much about perspective, justice, inequality and gratitude. Thomas Hartman and Ambrose Hennessy led the College Community in their Reflection on their experience of Bathurst Island. They were particularly moved by the joy in the lives of the young Bathurst Islanders and the inspirational life led by Sister Anne Gardiner OLSH and her transformative work with the community, bringing the Good News to life in the Islands of the Torres Strait.

Sister Anne Gardiner is a very lively character and when meeting her, one becomes almost immediately aware of her passion for AFL, particularly the Sydney Swans. This passion finds expression in a museum on the Island

that contains a range of AFL jerseys. With the unveiling of the SIC Indigenous jersey this year, the offer was made to include one of these jerseys in the museum, an offer which was enthusiastically received by Sister Anne. The jersey stands as a testament to the long and loving relationship between Sister Anne and her work on Bathurst Island and the College. We are extremely grateful for the work of Kaleb Taylor, Kim Prodinger and Jeremy Bennett for bringing this to fruition.

The Ignatian Service Program

The Good News was further put into action through Year 10 Ignatian Service Week, during which students spent significant time with those living on the margins: the disabled, those living in poverty and the homeless. Whilst COVID restrictions limited some interactions, the desire to ensure students relate in a face to face manner with those who have so much to teach us remains strong. Students returned to the College with stories of friendship, a renewed sense of what is most important, a commitment to consider those whom society forgets, and a growing capacity to see God at work in the lives of those we serve. The delivery of Country Placements and Ignatian Service week under the most trying circumstances imaginable was a testament to the work of Mrs Katherine Zerounian and Mrs Jude Southon. We are also grateful to the Heads of House who led the students on Reflection of their experience which is a crucial element of Jesuit Education.

Marlkawo Country Placement

Patrick Rodgers Memorial Service Award

The Patrick Rodgers Memorial Service Award was named to honour the memory and service of Patrick Rodgers (OR2011), who passed away while serving some of the most disadvantaged people in the Pailin Province, Cambodia. This award recognises Old Boys whose service work beyond school is particularly noteworthy, but due to COVID restrictions active in 2021, we were unable to hold our annual Ignatian Service Assembly during which this award is normally presented.

The 2021 awardee, former College Captain Jesse Gray (OR2017), was able to come to the College on Ash Wednesday to address the congregation following Mass. In a memorable address, Jesse recounted some of his experiences with those he worked with at De Porres House, an overnight facility for homeless and rough sleepers. An excellent speaker while at school, Jesse held the congregation enthralled with anecdotes of how his life had been animated by those at De Porres House. He concluded his speech by saying;

“I urge you boys to view ‘service’ in this way. It is not something you do – but rather, it is a way of being. Being attentive to others. Sharing your own vulnerabilities with others. Getting close and real with those who society loves to keep at an arm’s distance, and walking with them. You will learn a lot and discover true friendship if you do this.”

It was a wonderful example of Faith Leadership leading to seeing the activities of Ignatian Service with new eyes.

We were also fortunate to hear from the 2022 awardee, Xavier Rickard (OR2017), at the Ignatian Service Assembly later in the year. Xavier has always been hugely committed to service leadership and in particular reaching out to the marginalised in society. After completing his HSC studies, Xavier spent six months doing volunteer work in a remote area in Nepal followed by six months of similar work in Sri Lanka, working primarily in schools. Since returning he has organised for laptops and computer accessories to be shipped to the school he worked at in Sri Lanka. Xavier is passionate about reaching out to disadvantaged people; it is clear that his experiences have broadened his perspective and strengthened his passion. Xavier regularly travels with his father who is a surgeon on trips to India where he works in hospitals

assisting in vital medical procedures. He shared with the students:

“As you continue your Ignatian Service journey, I encourage you to use your skills to give back to those who need it most... being a companion means learning how to listen; being attentive to others, walking with them on their journey, and hearing their story.”

Student Faith Leadership

Student Faith Leadership is an area that we continue to grow in the life of the College. It is of particular note that, through the suggestion of a number of Eucharistic Ministers, Lines and Colours have been for the first time awarded to students who have met the criteria for Faith and Service Leader. Roles of College life that contribute to this award are Eucharistic Ministry, Kairos Leaders, Liturgy Captains, Year 11 Ignatian Service Leaders and participation in the Arrupe Academy for Ignatian Leadership.

In addition, Peer Ministry continues to grow in its impact through the Student Formation Program. Year 12 students exercised this ministry on the Year 11 Day of Reflection, Year 11 students on the Year 9 Day of Reflection, and Year 10 students on the Year 7 Day of Reflection. Contemporary research suggests that Peer Ministry is one of the most effective ways of nurturing faith formation and we will continue to seek opportunities that exercise faith leadership in this way into the future.

For the first time in two years, after our extended hiatus, the Arrupe Academy for Ignatian Leadership was able to run in the traditional fashion. A range of outstanding guest speakers included Fr Tom Renshaw SJ, Mr James Rodgers and the outgoing Student Leadership team, who addressed Year 11 students on a range of key spiritual, emotional and personal characteristics that contribute to outstanding leadership. All of the speakers drew heavily on their own experiences, and opened themselves to probing questions from deeply thinking and reflective students. It is hoped that the experiences of the 2021/2022 Student Leaders might be shaped by the insights they gained during this time.

DEPUTY PRINCIPAL TEACHING AND LEARNING:

MR RUSSELL NEWMAN

Throughout their final years, the Year 12 Class of 22 became regarded as a dedicated group who had rebounded quickly from the challenges of disrupted schooling during the pandemic of the previous two years.

They were determined to ensure that their final results would not be impacted by the past and, at the same time, they were devoted to the task of providing positive leadership for the rest of the school in every aspect of College life: on the sporting fields, in cocurricular activities, in their relationships with peers and teachers, in their House Groups, Mentor Groups and Boarding Division; they demonstrated maturity, diligence and leadership.

It is therefore a great privilege to report on the amazing achievements of this group as awarded at the Laureate Assembly 2023 - the first since 2020 to which we could physically invite the whole College Community, including parents of the laureates.

Firstly, congratulations to our Dux, Patrick Byrne with an ATAR of 99.85 and College Proxime, Charlie Henry with an ATAR of 99.75.

It is not very ‘Ignatian’ to boast about our own success. However, it is important to acknowledge this group’s achievements:

1. 103 students achieved ATARs over 90 – that’s over half of the cohort in the top 10% of the Nation and the largest number ever in Riverview’s history.

2. 12 students achieved ATARs over 99 –equal to our highest number ever.

3. 16 Premier’s All-Rounder Awards – our highest number ever.

4. 360 Band 6 results (scores over 90), resulting in an overall school ranking of 47th in NSW.

But it doesn’t stop there:

5. 4 NSW top Rankings – 3 of those from 3 different Courses in English

6. 27 NESA Showcase Nominations including 7 actual selections – this is more than double our previous record for nominations and 22 of those nominations came from the 22 students who studied Drama.

These are simply amazing results which, when combined, place the Class of 2022 as one of the strongest academically achieving groups that Riverview has ever produced. Congratulations to them all.

While that profile of success says a lot about the students of 2022, it also says a lot about the culture of the school that they attended and the people who surrounded them. Riverview has almost 200 teachers, led by dedicated curriculum, pastoral and residential leaders who are united in their devotion to constantly improve the learning outcomes of our students. On behalf of the Class of 2022, I thank them sincerely for everything that they have done to help this group attain these remarkable results.

The Kircher Collection

The Kircher Collection: HSC Major Works of 2022

DEPUTY PRINCIPAL TEACHING AND LEARNING: MR RUSSELL NEWMAN

Congratulations are extended to the HSC Students of 2022 whose major works were selected for publication in this year’s Kircher Collection. Each of the contributors was presented with their own copy of the publication by College alumnus and notable Australian actor, singer, musician and producer, Andrew Cutcliffe (OR2003). Riverview’s launch of The Kircher Collection is one of the highlights of our academic calendar.

Father Athanasius Kircher SJ was a 17th century Jesuit whose name has become synonymous with the pursuit of human excellence, particularly through academic and scientific endeavour. Regarded as the ‘master of one hundred arts,’ Kircher was a ‘polymath’ - a person whose knowledge and skills span across a range of different fields of learning. A polymath, therefore, could be described as a person who knows everything!

Each year we acknowledge Kircher’s many and varied academic attributes in the publication

of ‘The Kircher Collection,’ a collection of the very best ‘major works’ and ‘bodies of work’ of our Year 12 HSC Graduates from courses including Music, Visual Arts, Drama, English Extension 2, Science Extension, Photography and Digital Imaging, History Extension and Industrial Technology.

The 2022 HSC major works represented a variety of academic endeavours and celebrated each of the students who, like Fr Athanasius Kircher, have contributed in some way to the pursuit of human excellence for the glory of God and Creation.

Year in Review

2022 Motto: Seek the Summit

CAPTAIN: JAMES CRAIG

Time is our most valuable resource. It’s the one thing we spend, but we never get back. What matters most in life, is what you do with it. Undoubtedly, time’s arrow has marched forwards. It seems like just yesterday that I stood before you in November of 2021 being named school captain… just a kid with the biggest sweat stains you’ve ever seen. And today, I stand before you as a young man with the biggest sweat stains you’ve ever seen, who is now quickly coming to the realisation that he may have peaked in high school. How do you define the cohort of 2022? I took a long time to think about this in preparing this speech, pouring over past school captains’ speeches for ideas… 2017 was unity, 2021 was friendship… but what about us? In answering this, there’s one key question we have to ask ourselves. Who am I? It’s a question that by no means should you be prepared to answer today. And perhaps we never will. But it’s the lessons you’ve learnt from your time here that will help you in seeking the summit of that answer. I implore you to look at the world around you. What does it need, and what can your talent provide? For me, I love stories. They comfort us, they inspire us, and they create a context for how we experience the world. So you ask yourself, what story do I want to tell?

But before I answer that, let’s look at the story we’ve told together. Within our year group we have such a vast array of different characters. Scientists are still running tests to work out exactly what kind of creature Charlie Dinning is. As a year group, we’ve had so many unifying moments in the past year alone. We saw the hours of work put in by the rowing boys come to life at Head of the River, 22 Drama OnSTAGE nominations, the tireless resilience of our rugby teams, the intensity from the football boys, premierships for AFL, the rugby 10ths, and Mr Rogers’ mighty cricket 1st XI, and the basketballers won every game this season… if you don’t count all the games they lost.

Let’s look at some of the stories that we left behind us just in the halls of the school. We

packed out the Ramsey Hall for Inter-House Ping-Pong, were bombarded by the dreaded water projectiles at war cries, and were always there for each other at things like Mates Supporting Mates or the Friends Listen staffstudents game. And present at all of this was an undefinable spirit. A spirit fostered by eight years of friendship. A spirit nurtured by eight years of love. And a spirit that will stay with us when we walk out those gates, because no matter where we go, we go together.

To immerse yourself in this school is to reside in a home of boundless opportunity. I mean, you all literally just saw me running around pretending a chair was a horse, so you really can do anything here. Over the past few days, I’ve noticed a peculiarity. If you’re anything like me, you’ll look around at the campus nowadays and stop seeing places, but rather memories. Next to the Canteen has become where we saw MD put on a clinic at InterHouse Chess, Father Mac has become where we all spent hours cheering on our mates, and the Therry Courts have become where we all first got to know each other in Year 7. Whilst the buildings around us may grow old, it is the people inside that have brought them to life in our mind’s eye.

And it would be remiss of me not to mention those people. To our teachers. At the core of this College’s ethos is the notion of ‘Question everything’. And it’s our teachers who don’t shine the light on the answers but rather beckon us forward to be enriched by that luminosity ourselves. This year, our cohort has been bombarded by syllabus dot points, NESA guidelines, and modules. But it’s our

teachers that have calmed the seas. It’s our teachers who have taught us passion over understanding. Understanding is, by its very nature, lifeless. Understanding walks through the fire, but passion leaps over it. And that is what you have taught us.

In recognising this, we also have to give thanks to our families. For you all, it is a day of celebration, with one less set of school fees to pay. But the parents and grandparents here are more than that, they’re an essential part of this community. The hours spent on the sidelines at games or debating, volunteering at things like the Bazaar, driving to and from school when we forgot our laptops in the morning. Yet more than that, I hope that you can look around at the young men graduating today, and feel comfort in knowing that it was all worth it. To be satisfied with the final product, because at this point, I don’t think the school’s offering refunds.

But nothing that we have accomplished this year could’ve been done without all of us being united together. On that, I’d like to thank the whole leadership team, and particularly Jack Roe and Xavier Graham. You’ve been incredible to me, both as people to work with, but more importantly, as friends.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Father Renshaw, Dr Hine, Mr Lowe, Mr Kam, and the entire executive team. The care which you’ve shown this year group is second to none, and the diligence and empathy you place into every decision you make means so much to everyone here.

Valete address by 2022 College Captain James Craig

I’d now like to share some of my personal reflections as we graduate. Kanye West once said… well, Kanye’s said a lot of things over the years, but he said something really poignant, in that “If you have the opportunity to play this crazy game of life, you need to appreciate every moment”. For a long time, I didn’t know what that meant. But now, as we prepare to walk out those gates and face an endless horizon of new opportunities, I’m beginning to comprehend it. It all links back to that guiding principle of Ignatian spirituality, ‘As much as you can do, so much dare to do’. As I step back from the summit we’ve just climbed together and look outwards to the summit to come, I feel proud of what we’ve done together. I look back at the Friends Listen assembly, and I remember how utterly nervous I was to speak then. Yet the support shown to me following that will be something I cherish for the rest of my life, and I know the same goes for the other boys who spoke with me.

And with that, we must now look forward. After all of our schooling, all of the care, all of the laughs, that one singular question remains.

Who am I? I still don’t know that answer, but I know one thing. Whilst we are leaving the school today, it is who we are as a year group that will never leave us. Something isn’t beautiful because it lasts, but rather because of what it leaves you with. There’s always going to be certain pressures put on us when we leave school, surrounding the concept of success. So, what is success? To some of us, it may seem like the only way to success is wealth and yachts. Or for some of us, we may feel pressured to go do what’s safe, and put your own dreams on the backburner. But, you could fail at something you don’t even want to do, so you might as well do what you love. Do what scares you, and you’ll find every success.

Boys, it’s been my greatest honour to serve as your school captain for 2022. I wish you all the very best and more.

It’s time to seek the summit, beyond the gates.

Valete Assembly Address

GUEST OF HONOUR:

ANDY DU PONT (OR2017)

Unlike most past Valete speakers, I didn’t graduate Riverview between 1970-1999, my lack of hair is an aesthetic choice rather than a result of age, and I had to borrow this suit to meet the dress code. So, hopefully you’ll believe me when I say: I remember sitting in your seat. I remember the excitement. I remember the uncertainty. I remember the plan I had for myself after school. And I unfortunately remember the amount of Call of Duty I played in the Study Hall after Trial exams.

Something else the Year 12s and I have in common is the dim memory of the Valete address for my graduation in 2017. You were in Year 7, I was in Year 12, and let’s be honest, we both at best have vague recollections of that speech.

Given it’s only been five years since I was at Riverview, I am very honoured and humbled to deliver this address as a recent graduate, as a past recipient of a Riverview Bursary and as a continued beneficiary of the generosity and opportunity of the school.

I want to use this time to tell you what I wish I had heard at my own Valete. I hope that this advice will help you reflect and be of some assistance as you navigate the transition to the post-schooling world over the months and years ahead.

At the beginning of the year, I received a letter in the mail. I don’t receive mail often, so I was pretty intrigued to see what was inside. I soon realised it was a letter that I had written to myself. When I was in Year 12, we were encouraged to write a letter to our future selves just before graduating. I brought the letter with me today and thought I would share a few sentences:

“Dear Me, “I hope you’re well and doing something good with your life now. This letter is meant to be about my experiences “Hopefully, when I read this in the future, I still hold closely my experiences such as Micronesia and Kokoda, which have been unreal and definitely tested my beliefs.”

The letter continues:

“I am sort of stressed about what the future holds. It’s weird that I am actually close to finally leaving school. I have no idea what I want to do, but now that exams are over, I think I should probably start reading through the pile of uni pamphlets I have stacked up in my room from the careers expo.”

So, what would my first piece of advice be to my young self and to you today? That it’s perfectly okay not to know what you want to do after school and you should be prepared to be comfortable in the company of the unknown. Unlike the next chapter of life, the school system is linear, you basically always know what is coming next. Since starting at Riverview, whatever year you joined, everything has more or less been worked out or imposed upon you until this point:

⁄ You have known how many hours of service you need to do;

⁄ You know you have Saturday sport,

⁄ You know you need to try out Art in years 7 and 8, and

⁄ No doubt you all know that the first and last HSC exams are in 23 days and 44 days respectively.

The only things you probably haven’t known are:

⁄ How long Dr Hine’s speeches will go for,

⁄ What the meat in the Ref will taste like, and of course;

⁄ What you might want to do after school.

As this letter reminded me, I had no idea what I wanted to do after school and whilst some of you might be the same, others may have their hearts set on Jackarooing or travelling, pursuing a degree or taking up a trade. Regardless, there will be periods of time - if not now, then in the future - where you won’t know what’s next. You will be stumped, you

will be confused, you will be sad, you will be lost and that’s all entirely normal. It is important to be comfortable with the uncomfortable.

This is easier said than done, so my next piece of advice should hopefully be more comforting and that is: Your future plans almost definitely will not work out in the exact way you imagine.

At school, I always thought that I would get the ATAR I wanted and that everything would fall into place. When I left school, I had a plan of where I thought I needed to be by the end of uni. At uni, I had every detail of my degree and life sorted into an excel spreadsheet that included the subjects I would study for the next three years, the countries I would travel to when I graduate and the three jobs I wanted when I returned from travelling.

I didn’t get the ATAR I aimed for. I didn’t get to travel after my degree because of the pandemic, and I don’t think I even progressed past the first stages of any of those jobs I wanted. It may not have surprised you that my plans didn’t really work out, but it certainly surprised me.

Why didn’t my plans work out? I had been shaping my expectations of the future based on my experience at school, where everything you plan out, pretty much works out.

What I didn’t realise was that it isn’t actually that easy to plan out your future and life, because it assumes that your beliefs, interests, aspirations and the environment around you will stay the same.

They don’t.

Whilst I chose to study Commerce, I realised throughout uni that I had other interests such as philosophy, the study of human behaviour and the state of the environment. Topics that I didn’t have the brain capacity, time for or exposure to at school. Not much has changed in terms of brain capacity or time, but I chose to pursue some subjects that I didn’t decide on in my initial plan and explored different avenues to learn more about these new-found interests.

When you leave school, you too, will learn new things about the world and about yourself that are far different from your thoughts of today and you will discover new passions and interests that will modify your current plans. Follow these passions and what makes you curious, and be open to new ideas after school, whether they fit into your plan or not, as this may help you navigate and contemplate the unknown of your next steps, as it has for me.

Finally, can I also suggest to you, in the politest possible way, that Riverview is a bubble. You have very enlightened and committed teachers. And, there is no getting past the fact that Riverview is a private school, for boys only, in an affluent part of a prosperous country with a tiny population in a remote corner of the world.

You may not realise right this second how Riverview has prepared you for the world, but I am sure, it will become clearer to you as you near the end of your time here and go beyond the gates.

One fundamental Ignatian principle I come back to time and time again are the words scribed on the artwork in the foyer of the Library: “Question Everything”.

When I was a student, I didn’t really appreciate the concept, because, clearly no one told me its Latin translation, “Omnia Interroga”, sounds like a spell from Harry Potter, which would’ve made it instantly easier to remember. The school system, which you are nearing the end of, is one where you rarely have to question anything at all, and it wasn’t until I left that I really learnt its value and applied it.

But why might this motto be important to you?

Whether your path is clear or blurred, a questioning mindset will help you find truth and facts in a world that personally, I have found to be pretty overwhelming with information and opinions. I encourage you to avoid being narrow-minded, and to think critically, not just about other people’s beliefs but to interrogate your own beliefs. Question your own biases, prejudices and privileges.

Hopefully examples of this questioning mindset have been evident throughout this speech, whether that is questioning what you want to do, questioning your plan, questioning what interests you, or, even questioning some of my points in this speech.

An important question I have been asking myself lately is how did I even get the opportunity to give this address? Reflecting on this point, I have realised that I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the encouragement of the teachers who sit behind me, my friends but most importantly, of course my wonderful Aunty and Uncle, who have continually supported me on my journey. In your own way, I encourage you to express gratitude to your teachers, your mates, your parents or your parent-like figures who have been influential in helping you along your journey.

I know the last eight minutes have been pretty full on, but I would like to wish you the best of luck with your final exams. No matter what the result is, I hope that you can all find enjoyment through the process and have fun in this next phase of life after school.

My parting advice is to remember not to take life too seriously when all your plans fall to pieces and you’re left with no idea what to do. Be willing to follow your passions, regardless of whether they lead to fortune and fame or to other paths; be willing to question the status quo, and be willing to have a commitment to doing what is meaningful to you - what might help others and what might make the world just that little bit better.

Thank you.

Awards

The Insignis Medal Winner, 2022

FR TOM RENSHAW SJ, RECTOR

Charles Henry

Insignis means outstanding amongst peers. Ignatius used this descriptor for a person who 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 Insignis is a person who is large-hearted, generous, and acts on principle, showing promise to build up God’s kingdom on earth by inspiring and influencing the companions with whom he labours.

The recipient of this year’s Insignis is a student who is known for his integrity, his generosity, and his curiosity. He has demonstrated that he is very much at home at Riverview and has a strong sense of belonging. He has been admired and respected by staff as well as both older and younger students alike. He is known for his self-effacing manner, his humility, his deep love of learning as well as his kind and compassionate nature. He is a gentle and persuasive leader.

This student has been involved in many different aspects of the College’s co-curricular program including Cricket, Swimming, Touch Football, Rugby Union, as well as Football, being a member of the 2nd XI team for the last two years. As a younger student he also participated in Theatresports; he is an excellent debater and was a member of the College’s GPS 1st team in Years 11 and 12.

He has been committed to developing his sense of being a person of faith who is a person of service. He is a wonderful example of being a person for others. In his younger years he cooked for the St Canice’s Kitchen and the Jesuit Mission Bazaar. In Years 9 and 10 he helped with the Lifeline Book Fair and has volunteered at Loaves and Fishes Café in Ashfield. In Year 11, he was a member of the Arrupe Academy and he was one of the student leaders at one of the Year 12 Kairos retreats in Term 1 this year. He was also a Year 12 peer minister for the Year 11 Day of Reflection this year.

This student has also experienced loss and trauma during his time at the College with the passing of his younger brother. He spoke about this movingly earlier this year at the Friends Listen Assembly. It has been our privilege to accompany this student and his family, who in turn, have inspired many of us with their dignified and faith filled response to their grief.

Academically, this student has applied himself consistently and diligently to his studies over the last six years. He has received Gold merit certificates for application to his studies in every year he has been a student at the College, as well as being in the top 10% of students each year. He is a most gifted student academically, receiving Academic

OPPOSITE PAGE: Charles Henry, recipient of this year’s Insignis Medal

Excellence awards each year since Year 7 and completing 20 units for the HSC – twice as many units as most HSC students. This is a phenomenal achievement.

This student’s journey of accelerated study began when he was in Year 8. Over the four years which followed, he achieved five Band 6s; Mathematics Advanced, Mathematics Extension 1 and 2, and in Physics. Last year, this student completed Science Extension with a research paper on Quantum Computing and his work was profiled in the College’s Kircher Collection. He is ranked first in many of his HSC subjects this year.

This student embodies human excellence in so many facets of his life.

It is with great pleasure that I present this year’s Insignis medal to our 2022 Captain of Campion House and 2022 Captain of Touch Football, Charlie Henry.

The Dr. James L’Estrange Prize for Ignatian Service: Henry Madigan

This Prize is awarded to a senior student who has demonstrated in an ongoing way a generous involvement in, and commitment to, Ignatian service within and/or beyond the College.

Henry Madigan is a most worthy winner of the Dr James L’Estrange Prize for Ignatian Service for the class of 2022.

Henry joined the College from Orange in 2017, walking in the footsteps of the Madigans who were influenced by the vision and mission of Jesuit Education before him. He recounts his experience of serving the homeless and destitute at the Loaves and Fishes Restaurant and contributing to the Virtual Cambodian Immersion as his highlights of the Ignatian Service Program at the College – activities where the impact of generous actions can be seen and felt. Henry’s year group was the first to undertake a Virtual Immersion, a pivot made by the College in light of the circumstances of the year. When Henry reflects on this experience, he fondly remembers the children that he was helping to teach English to in a slum school in Phnom Penh, and their simple, engaging interactions. Poignantly, this interaction takes place between people whose life experience, potential for opportunities, and social realities are markedly different. And this is what separates Henrythe awareness that compassion sows seeds into the future, where the fruits of one’s labour can be seen in the future

growth of those with whom one shares simple interactions in the name of a greater good.

Henry’s commitment to a faith that does justice extends past that which is required of him. When at home he facilitates sailing experiences for the disabled, something that he attributes to his experience of Ignatian Service at the College.

Henry played an active role in the faith life of the College. He was named as one of the inaugural Faith and Service Leaders, was recognised for his faithful service as a Kairos Retreat Leader and Eucharistic Minister, and was a member of the Arrupe Academy for Ignatian Leadership. In addition to this, Henry was Claver House Captain and a member of the premiership winning First XI.

We trust that Henry’s life ahead will always be one lived walking in the footsteps of Ignatius, and showing a particular sensitivity to being of service to those on the margins for the good of all.

Henry Madigan, recipient of the Dr. James L’Estrange Prize for Ignatian Service

The Michael Cunich Memorial Prize for Excellence of Character: James Craig

This Prize is awarded to a student who has displayed strength of character, religious conviction and perseverance in his time at the College. He is also particularly noted for his leadership across a number of areas at the College.

This Prize is awarded to James Craig as a student who has displayed strength of character, religious conviction and perseverance in his time at the College. He is also particularly noted for his leadership across a number of areas at the College. Consistent with the past, the recipient of this award is known for conducting himself in a conscientious, gracious and magnanimous manner while embracing all facets of College life.

In his time at the College, James embraced service opportunities, constantly seeking new ways to walk alongside the marginalised, including volunteering in the dementia ward at Ashburn Aged Care Facility, at Cana Farm and participating in the Cambodian Virtual Immersion.

As a leader in Faith he participated in both a Kairos Retreat and the Arrupe Academy and, in an act of servant leadership, led his younger peers through a process to allow them both structure and time to carry out their own reflections. His ability to articulate how faith constantly informed his actions was valued by both peers and staff alike. In the recent turbulent years this young man was a constant presence of strength.

Gifted with earnest intelligence and insight, a review of James’ reports through his time at the College sees him described as a learner who “is a most impressive young man who understands that talent must be accompanied by enthusiasm and a powerful work ethic”. His fearless efforts in AFL, Football and Basketball have seen him represent the College with distinction and, more importantly, during sporting pursuits he carried himself with a sense of joy and an understanding that fair play is more important than winning.

Over the course of this year James’ presence as a leader took shape with a humility that belies his strong intellect. Inspired to lead the College through inclusion, his identification and articulation of the student motto, “Seek the Summit”, was as aspirational as it was symbolic. These actions truly embody what Ignatius calls all of us to be – leaders who lead not by saying, but rather, lead by being. His leadership will be remembered for its strength, composure, and gratitude, and in so doing he has enabled those who experienced it to be richer for the experience.

The Shore School Centenary Prize for a Senior Student: Jullien Caillol

This Prize is awarded to the young man who has displayed an appreciation for academic excellence, but also has displayed a sense of fair play and sportsmanship in his co-curriculum activities. He is also a young man whose leadership and spirituality is a model for his fellow students.

This Prize is awarded to Jullien Caillol for displaying an appreciation for academic excellence, while also possessing a sense of fair play and sportsmanship in his co-curriculum activities. He is a young man whose leadership and spirituality is a model for his fellow students.

Jullien began at Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview in 2020 as a boarding student from Singapore. He is an intelligent, hardworking, and insightful student who tries his best in each subject he pursues, and as a result received accolades for his application to studies and achieving a top 10% position among his cohort. His academic results are befitting of a student who applies himself with rigour, and one who enjoys a comprehensive complement of subjects, including those studied in accelerated form whilst in Year 11.

Part of the philosophy of a Jesuit education is the formation of the whole person through a wide range of co-curricular and service-based activities. Jullien has been an exceptional sportsman and has represented the College with particular distinction in the areas of Athletics and Rugby Union. His coaches have described him as a young man who has the ability to influence others through his humility and willingness to go above and beyond for the good of the team.He also enjoyed a great deal of success in Rugby Union, competing at an elite level both in and outside of school, and was selected in both the GPS and NSW 1st XV teams. He regularly achieved Best and Fairest awards, testament to his high service ethic and desire to put the

needs of others before his own. He was elected Captain of the 1st XV, and at the culmination of his final year, was awarded the J. E. Hayes Trophy for 1st XV Best Back.

In service-based activities, Jullien participated to the fullest capacity, and was elected as service leader in his House community throughout 2021. In Year 11 he participated in an online Immersion experience aiding students in Cambodia; having spent time serving in Cambodia in his junior years, this experience allowed him the chance to give back once again, and in the process, learn a great deal about himself and contemporary world issues.

During the final year of his schooling, Jullien was elected to the position of House Captain by his peers and members of staff. This achievement is a testament to his excellent interpersonal skills and ability to lead by example. It is most evident that his election to this position has been instrumental in his formation journey and he has unreservedly led a culture of respect and positivity whilst setting the highest of examples for those who look up to him.

Jullien has great interpersonal skills and is always open to conversation. He is a friendly young man with a great sense of humour and is loyal, genuine, and considerate of others. He is known as someone who can combine enthusiasm with commitment, confidence with humility, and dedication with spontaneity.

The Gordon Oxenham Memorial Prize for Year 12 Division Boarders: Harry Grant

This Prize, nominated by his peers, is awarded to a young man of faith; who fosters within his Division a sense of family; who is a model of a community-spirited young man; who is a person of integrity; who is generally well-regarded and sensitive to the needs of those with whom he lives; and who is a model of boarding life for his fellow students.

This prestigious and historic Prize is awarded to Harry Grant as a faith-filled, respectful Year 12 Boarder who is a model to his peers. It is determined by the acclamation of peers who recognise authentic presence and genuineness of character in their voting. Harry is a conscientious student who has applied himself diligently across all areas of the College.

In the co-curricular sphere, Harry has participated widely and extremely competently in a wide array of sports including Rowing, Rugby and Athletics. Academically he has always strived to do his best and he has consistently been acknowledged for his application to his studies over his years at Riverview.

Community building has become a specialty for him. His loyalty and affection for his College shine at all times and lead him to include everyone in activities. Within the Boarding House, he takes pride in the little things; he is extremely organised, and the presentation of his room is immaculate. Harry’s humility 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 is well respected by staff and his peers for the integrity and care for all the people he encounters and for the gratitude he expresses to the people who have guided him on his journey.

Harry’s Head of Division summarised his faith journey most articulately: “A shining example of striving for the magis, he has made the most of every opportunity available to him at Riverview and he has done his utmost to achieve to the best of his ability. He is a true “man for and with others”.

Harry 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 College Proctor in the boarding community. His calm demeanour defuses 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.

Harry Grant, recipient ofThe Gordon Oxenham Memorial Prize for Year 12 Division Boarders

Regis School

Regis Campus

Director of Regis

MRS CAITLIN REMEEUS

Being Kind Takes Desire, Awareness and Initiative

This year Regis welcomed the challenge of becoming an Ambassador school for The Kindness Factory. The opportunity provided the lens to get intentional about our acts of kindness.The Kindness factory is a not-forprofit organisation that creates educational programs in schools and universities to help foster a kinder community. We recognised Kath Koshel, founder of Kindness factory, as part of International Women’s Day. Her story inspired Regis students to make kindness matter by amplifying the power of kindness through the things we do, the words we say and the connections we make through school.

During Mentors Group meetings we learned about perspective, empathy, humility and gratitude. These attributes helped us keep kindness top of mind and inspired positive outreach stories, for example, our behaviour on the playground recognised more positive play, and Jacob C (6:3) made us aware of a burpee challenge to support his uncle’s charity. We all participated and completed over 3000 burpees.

We aimed to make caring for others contagious. Our Year 5 Class Captains worked with Year 5 girls from Pymble Ladies College to deepen our understanding of what kindness looks like at a girls’ school. Our service initiatives such as Pink Ribbon and McGrath Foundation fundraisers and Planktober made caring about others a reality.

Our Year 6 students are grateful for the opportunities they have had hosting music, reading and PE fun sessions for the little people at Mirrabrook Early Learning Centre. We are thankful to the Kindness factory for choosing us and Kaplan Academics for working with the Regis staff to further enhance the kindness curriculum.

Faith in Action - Serving Others with Kindness and Compassion

St Ignatius’ Day

Our celebration of Saint Ignatius’ Feast Day is just one of those moments when we can show our gratitude as well as give of ourselves to support each other and the marginalised in our society. Thank you to the boys who reach out to others every day and appreciate the joy which can be found in giving of ourselves to others. This year Regis raised over $45,000 through the walkathon. We are truly so grateful to our family and friends for supporting this fundraiser.

At Regis, we reiterate daily how fostering actions of helping others improves our

self-esteem and builds positive relationships. We remain hopeful that our students will continue embracing their learnings at school and home. We encourage Regis to be “men for and with others” who continue to demonstrate:

⁄ being sensitive and sympathetic

⁄ creating a positive outlook and instilling hope

⁄ recognising and validating positive changes

⁄ helping solve problems

⁄ helping to reduce other people’s stress

⁄ helping with practical things

During Term 4 we focused on celebrating small acts of kindness that can have enormous power for both the person being kind and the recipient, whether that’s a stranger or a family member. Congratulations to Louis Gower (6:3), who initiated a shoe shine random act of kindness. He, along with Oliver Schmid (6:3) and Michael Flanagan (6:1), took it upon themselves to head to the Senior campus to shine random students’ shoes. They hoped to create a positive feedback loop whereby the more you give, the more positive you feel. This was achieved. The boys received many thanks, smiles, and offers of paying it forward. One boy even took it upon himself to return the favour and clean Michael’s shoes. Thank you Oliver Eisenhauer from Year 8, Moore House. Your actions of returning the favour, in turn, fuelled greater happiness. We hope students who witness or benefitted from the shoe shine will continue to put kindness and compassion first by paying it forward. Like Jesus in an act of servanthood, we become more credible and accountable by considering others’ needs.

Jesus wanted to show the full extent of his love by washing his disciple’s feet, paying it forward was Jesus’ request to his disciples: “If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet” (John 13:14). Imagine how different our world would look if we gave the kind of love to others that God has given us through Jesus.

Caring for Our Common Home: Leading by Example

The Earth and all life on it are part of God’s creation. Through Catholic mission, our parents, and our learning experiences, we are called to respect this gift. This year we directed our actions, experience and inquiry

We learned more deeply about our changing environment and how it prompts us to stop and think about how we live on our planet. As Catholics we are called to respond and to adopt new ways of living as Pope Francis highlights in his encyclical, Laudato Si’: On the Care for Our Common Home

This year our Year 6 ministry focused on Earn Learn and Give. We became more attentive to the environmental concerns of our playground and sought to promote care for the earth and its resources by recycling our bottles and poppers. The funds raised were used to purchase solar buddy lights for the marginalised. This quote from Laudato sums up our approach:

it was lovely to walk in the sunshine from our Regis Campus to the Dalton Chapel where we gave thanks for our mums, grandmothers and other significant women in our lives. Our boys are overwhelmingly grateful for their Mothers - you all mean so much to your sons and are such a valued part of our community.

“Today, however, we have to realise that a true ecological approach always becomes a social approach; it must integrate questions of justice in debates on the environment, so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.”

(Laudato Si’ n 49)

During Wellbeing Week Term 2, we invited Regis to look inwardly through meditation, reflection and seeing God in all things. We took time to notice the changes in nature and within ourselves as we grow and flourish at Regis.

As part of National Reconciliation Week, we invited Regis to reflect on their connection to Country beyond the Cammeraygal People in our Eora Nation whom we honour at school. We explored what country we live in and who were the First Nations people recognised for our home areas; what significant artefacts are present in their area; what do we know about these First Nation people; what languages do they speak? And we reflected on how we, individually and collectively, can work to manage, care, and protect the land where we live, work and play?

In Laudato Si, Pope Francis’ Encyclical Letter on Ecology and Climate, St Francis of Assissi “helps us to see that an integral ecology calls us to take to the heart of what it is to be human. To gaze at the sun, the moon or the smallest of animals. His response to the world around him was so much more than intellectual appreciation or economic calculus, for to him each and every creature was a sister united to him by bonds of affection. That is why he felt called to care for all that exists.”

We hope that our boys and Regis community also hear this call and build these bonds, not just in Wellbeing Week but at all times to help them be caring citizens of our world whilst also being mindful of their own wellbeing and the many ways that they can nourish it.

Mother’s Day Mass

Thank you to all our mothers, grandmothers, and significant women for their love, selfgiving, compassion, strength, humility and wisdom - on behalf of the staff and our students. Thank you for teaching your sons to be compassionate. Thank you for being the path of goodness, who restores unity at times with your sons, siblings and friends.

Our Regis Mothers Mass was a beautiful celebration on Tuesday 3rd May morning and

Book Week

This year we combined Wellbeing Week with Book Week. These two themes worked well together with a kickstart from performance poet Steven Herrick. It was poetry brought to life and the boys were well entertained. Steven

wrote to us following the session commenting on the “wonderfully involved and engaged audience”. Similarly, the comments from the boys included: “He was awesome, really funny, he showed us different types of poetry, I loved everything about it.”

In that week also, author and illustrator Matthew Lin conducted a series of drawing workshops with the boys, creating characters and bringing them to life on a blank page. The boys commented on how Matt could change the moods and emotions of his characters with some simple techniques.

Many boys enjoyed the movie Paper Planes with popcorn over a couple of lunchtimes and a scavenger hunt built around the Book Week theme, “Dreaming with eyes open”.

Many Regis students were involved in this year’s musical production Madagascar Jr. Congratulations to Oliver Schmid (6:3) who played Alex the lion, and to all our young performers - many of whom trod the stage for

Curious and Inquisitive minds

the first time. For a report on Madagascar Jr, please go to the Music section of this Alma Mater.

This year we also sadly farewelled Heather Cloudsdale and Margaret Cullen, who combined have over 57 years of teaching at Regis. The following heartfelt quotes by our students reflect how highly regarded they have been by all on Regis campus:

“Mrs Cloudsdale shows dedication and passion to every one of her classes. She has guided people with their reading and writing for 27 years, having a large positive effect on a child's learning ability. On behalf of every Regis student and teacher in the past 27 years, thank you for guiding every student in Regis, thank you for delivering every lesson at such a high standard and thank you for pushing every student so that by the end of the year they were the best learner, writer, reader and young man they could be.”

Toby Lau (6:2) for Mrs Cloudsdale

“Not only have you helped us in the classroom and taught us so many things in your lessons, you also have expanded my knowledge in reading and writing, encouraging me to use funny and crazy words like bibbledonkulous. From the words of Mrs Remeeus, you have never forgotten a face that you have taught and never given up on a boy, even if they can be challenging. You encouraged us all to work at our best and you’ve made Year 5 library a thing to remember when we’re all grown up.

“Our school motto is ‘Be Men for Others’… you and Mrs Cloudsdale have been ‘Librarians for Others’. From all of us at Regis, thank you for all of your hard work at this school.”

HarryJohnston (6:1) for Mrs Cullen

Boys who love to design, build, investigate, test for answers, and challenge themselves… there are certainly a lot of boys at Regis who fit this description. We are thrilled to announce and congratulate Patrick and Liam, winners of The Eye Heart Science Fair Investigation Category 5-6 section with their PE bike, designed to use pedal power to generate bike lights. We are also proud of Ryley and his brother Fynn who were awarded joint first place in the 5-6 section of The Science Teachers Association NSW Young Scientist award. In addition to these successes, we are proud to note that over 20 students received distinctions in ICAS with several high distinctions were awarded this year.

Regis Activities

Art at Regis in 2022

VISUAL ARTS TEACHER:

MRS CATHERINE PENNING

Our focus for our Year 5 students is to provide the boys with a variety of art experiences that develop their skills and encourage their creativity. The Art program tries to teach not only on the elements of art, but also to create links across other curriculum subjects to give greater depth in the learning process.

We began the year with an introduction to sculptures, using wire and recycled materials to create insects. This unit of work was designed to encourage the boys to connect their learning with their Science and Technology unit on Living Things.

Creating self portraits inspired by various artists was a unit that the boys enjoyed greatly in Term 2. They explored proportion and the use of value through realistic depictions of themselves. They once again connected their learning to literature when they participated in a cartooning workshop with illustrator Matthew Lim during Book Week.

The second semester saw the students explore watercolour techniques and mixed media compositions as they responded to various environments and how they are affected by human impact and natural disasters.

Our Year 6 students built upon their previous knowledge to consider how they can communicate as artists through their compositions. They used drawing, collage, and digital forms to evoke a feeling about a favourite environment, explore music and create a slideshow or iMovie on the topic “The World That God Desires”.

Symbolism in art from China and Japan was explored and the students experimented with painting using traditional ink.

Composition in photography was explored using Cyanotype. The students participated in a workshop at Regis run by Sally Mayman, where they experimented with UV rays, chemically coated paper and various plants from around the grounds of Regis to create beautiful cyan coloured images.

Art Club was a hive of activity with many individual projects undertaken. Drawing, painting, printing, skateboard design, assemblage art, animation and sculpture were just some of the activities students enjoyed. In fact, a few of the students showed such an interest in animation that their productions continued beyond the Art room. The enthusiasm and animated stories that were

being produced were outstanding and served to excite and entertain the other students.

Over 2022, many friendships were made in the Art room and it was wonderful to see the encouragement and exchange of ideas that occurred regularly. I’m looking forward to more of the same for 2023.

Chess Club

CO-ORDINATOR: MR V ZHANG

ASSISTANT CO-ORDINATOR: MS F QIAN

The Riverview Ignatian Chess Club kicked off the new year with a renewed enthusiasm and energy. It was wonderful to welcome the new players from Regis, who enjoy playing social games with friends as well as those who like the challenge in chess competitions.

The highlight of the year was the InterSchool Chess Tournament, held in Term 2 and 3. All players embraced the challenge of playing in the competitions and showed tremendous concentration to sustain their focus throughout the games. There were tough games with many worthy opponents, which offers a great learning experience for sharpening their chess skills. After some initial nerves, they all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Most of all, they made new friends and learnt different strategies and skills to take into the future as they continue their involvement in the Riverview Chess Program and beyond.

Thank you to Regis chess parents for your unconditional support to the Chess Club throughout the year.

After three weeks of a round robin format between chess club members in Term 4, the Regis champions for 2022 were:

Year 6 Chess Champion: Nicholas Castagna

Year 5 Chess Champion: Flynn Maynard-Fallon

ISDA, SDN and IPSHA Competitions

After extensive trialling, a small squad of Year 6 students also participated in two external competitions – the Independent Schools Debating Association (ISDA) and the Schools Debating Network (SDN) competitions. Our Primary B team progressed through to the Octo-finals in the ISDA competition and then went on to make it to the Semi-finals in the SDN competition. Our Primary A team reached the Grand Final of the SDN competition where they were unfortunately narrowly beaten by a very mature and polished Wenona.

Additionally, this year we also took part in the Independent Primary Schools Heads Association (IPSHA) competition. We were able to enter different teams for each round resulting in every boy in Regis Debating being afforded the opportunity to represent the school and participate in a formal, in-person debate. The students were also trained in and carried out Timekeeper and Chairperson roles as well as hosting duties. These debates took place during school time on a Friday afternoon during Terms 2 and 3 and our coaches James Wilson and Nicky Tkachuk assisted with coaching and adjudicating this competition. Thank you again coaches for this extra commitment to debating. For many of our students this was one of the highlights of the Debating season and the afternoon tea and two periods off school made it extra fun!

Speak Up

In close collaboration with Santa Sabina College, it was wonderful to see the popular ‘Speak Up’ competition resume with vigour after the confining COVID concerns of the past couple of years. Established in 2017, the program offers our youngest students at Regis campus the opportunity to plan, prepare and present a polished speech in friendly fire with the girls from Santa Sabina. It is magnificent

Garden Club

MRS TANIA GODFREY

Regis Eco-Garden: growing more than just veggies!

The Regis Eco-Garden has continued to thrive despite an exceptionally wet year which saw most of Semester 1 inundated with rainy days. This fabulous space is utilised by both our Paddock to Plate STEM students and our weekly Gardening Club, as well as the odd visitor who taste tests the strawberries for quality control, and of course the local, native wildlife who especially love destroying the cabbages.

sent them home to become a part of each boy’s home garden or to possibly be the first plant within it!

Although the boys love to relax and weed in the garden, by far the best part of our Eco-Garden is when you get to eat it. This year the boys have made a wide range of delicious foods and drinks using as many core ingredients from the garden as possible. Dishes have included roasted root-vegetables, crunchy noodle wombok salad using kale, spinach and cos lettuce, vegetable stir fry, rice paper rolls, fresh potato chips and our favourite ‘saganaki’ with rosemary and honey. The fruit smoothies were amazing and while the berry plus banana and pineapple were favourites, the boys had to admit that they even liked the green smoothie - just!

Our Steam Expo and Regis open mornings gave us the chance to showcase our learning in our garden where water infusions with lemon/lime and rosemary were sampled and the boys also served our crunchy noodle wombok salad for our guests to try. Cos lettuce had been planted in the middle of Term 3 to ensure we would have a fresh supply of lettuce for the occasion and as it turned out we were able to avoid any expensive lettuce

buying! The boys were engaged and energised as they stepped up to prepare and share their produce as well as reflect on how they have not just learnt about food but also grown together in friendship and appreciation for our common home. They all feel better equipped to live sustainably, cook for their family and share the love which comes so naturally from this wonderful learning environment.

More than Meets the Eye @ Regis Science Week

The Surfing Scientist

Regis’ celebration of National Science Week began with a literal BANG, when Ruben Meerman - otherwise known as the Surfing Scientist - came as our special guest and expert teacher. Ruben took the boys deep into the history and structure of the periodic table. He used all the bells and whistles and had our boys asking for more. Having engaged in this powerful learning experience the boys were all energised to then go further and investigate the phenomena which Ruben had presented. Luckily our dynamic Science teaching staff knew this would be the case and they were ready with two other fabulous learning experiences beyond what was happening in regular science classes and weekly STEM.

Once again our Regis boys were encouraged to investigate which herbs, fruit and vegetables grow best in this space through a process of research, testing and then evaluating. While some plants have endured the test of time such as our rosemary, we also discovered that our strawberries can survive a lot of rain and even grow beyond the garden beds. Once these plants had sent out their runners and died down from last year, we had a wonderful time dividing and replanting them. There were so many plants that we even

The second event was for the boys to engage in a macro photography competition where all students were encouraged to take a macro photo which represented the theme of National Science Week - ‘GLASS: More than meets the Eye.’ Boys were encouraged to use reflection or refraction to highlight the elements of glass and create an optical illusion in their image. The results were outstanding and it was difficult to only choose ten Year 5 and ten Year 6 finalists. Once decided, these images were framed and displayed and two winners were announced. Congratulations to Hunter Harris (Year 6) and Hamish McGettigan (Year 5) for their winning entries.

Further to this the 20 finalists were also displayed as part of our REGIS STEAM EXPO for a People’s Choice award. Just like

the Archibald, guests were able to scan the QR code and then vote for their favourites - a fabulous collaboration of science, art and technology.

We wrapped up Science Week with our favourite event - the Regis Annual Paper Plane Competition. All boys were encouraged to fold a plane and then throw it in an attempt to be crowned as the 2022 Champion.

With many boys participating enthusiastically, it was Jay R who stepped up at the last minute to produce one mighty throw; his 30 metres of aerodynamic excellence clinched the title, leaving Felix a close second with his 28m throw. The fun, engagement and enthusiasm certainly made this one of the best Science Weeks to be celebrated at Regis.

Performance Opportunities Abound

MRS TANIA GODFREY

After unavoidable obstacles in 2020 and 2021 it has been wonderful to be able to have a mostly ‘normal’ year of performing for our students. Not wanting to miss a single opportunity to take to the stage, our Regis Concert Band and Regis Choir jumped at the chance to be a part of the IPSHA Performing Arts Festival at the Sydney Town Hall in September. Presenting a combined performance of the song ‘High Hopes’, our boys really were outstanding. We also saw two talented soloists from Year 6, Felix Merlino and Matteo Maiorana, performing Corelli’s ‘Gigue Sonata No. 5’ at the festival. A wonderful opportunity.

The Regis Music Activities Concert was another highlight of our year with all Regis students performing. From our violin, cello and double bass string groups to our flute, clarinet and french horn players, each boy took great pride in showing off just how much they have learnt in such a short period of time.

The ensembles were also a highlight and we were blessed to have so many - string, percussion, liturgy and our Year 5 and Year 6 Advanced Music Activities ensembles. The extra practice and refined efforts really shone in these boys whose confidence and competence was evident. Toes tapped to ‘Mac the Knife’ and we all hummed along to the concertos and solo pieces. Yet it was the Regis Rock Band who really excited the audience as their lead singer Oliver Schmid wowed the crowd and had us all singing along to Bon Jovi’s ‘It’s My Life.’ This group also received a standing ovation from the IPSHA Primary Principals when they performed at their ANNUAL meeting which was held at Regis in October. It is no surprise that Oliver also had one of the lead roles of Marty in the Riverview Junior Musical Madagascar where a number of Regis students sang, danced and acted their way into our hearts. This wonderful performance was beyond entertaining as we all celebrated being able to come together for the first time since 2019 to celebrate our skilled and talented students.

The Regis Choir

MS KIMBERLEY JONCESKI

After a very quiet 2021, this has been one of the busiest years for the Regis Choir with many performance opportunities both within the College and beyond.

For their first performance of the year, the Regis Choir was invited to perform at Riverview in Concert, a very popular event in the music calendar which has usually been exclusive to the Senior music ensembles. The boys were so excited to be part of this year’s concert and they rose to the occasion with their rendition of “Seize the Day” from the musical Newsies and “Skyfall”, Adele’s hit song from the James Bond film. They were pleased to relive the moment at the Ignatian Bazaar, performing on the outdoor stage for their families and friends.

I am sure the boys would agree that the highlight of the year was standing on the big stage at the ICC in Darling Harbour for Stand Tall 2022, with The Voice winner, Bella Taylor Smith. Joining the Ignatian Choir on the day to perform “Climb Every Mountain”, the boys sang their hearts out in front of 5000 students from schools across the state.

In Term 3, the Regis Choir had the privilege of representing the College at the IPSHA Concert at the Sydney Town Hall, joining the Regis Concert Band for the first time ever to perform “High Hopes” by Panic! At the Disco. The boys really enjoyed the day and loved this combined experience with the Regis Concert Band (led by Mr James Walder). They were delighted to participate in another combined schools choir for the APPA conference at the Sofitel in Sydney. In just under three weeks, they prepared and performed John Farnham’s iconic “You’re the Voice”.

Both Mrs Christine Moriarty and I are very proud of the Regis Choir members’ efforts and achievements this year. We would particularly like to thank our Year 6 students for their commitment to the choir over the past two years and we encourage them to continue their singing with the Ignatian Choir (led by Mr Kirk Hume).

Regis String Ensemble

MS NICOLE MURRAY PRIOR

Meeting at lunchtime on Mondays, the Regis String Ensemble was an energetic and enthusiastic group, with the number of participating Ensemble members expanding throughout the year. With many of our students also rehearsing in the Regis Liturgy Ensemble, the students showed great commitment and enthusiasm.

Our first performance was an inspiring combined performance with the Intermediate Strings and Orchestra String players at the Jesuit Mission Bazaar. The students delivered an exciting performance, playing pieces such as “Big Ben Boogie”, “Canon” and “Sword Dance”.

At Regis in Concert, the Ensemble performed the exciting ‘Sword Dance’, which some players could perform from memory!

“Sword Dance” has a high energy Renaissance sound and features double stops, drones and pizzicato, as well as a lovely “call and response” section.

The final performance for the year was at the STEAM Expo at the Regis Hall on 23 November 2022. The students performed our favourite piece “Cello Squadron”, as well as the enjoyable and rhythmic “Big Ben Boogie”. Giving everyone a chance to perfect their triplet rhythms, the fun and exciting ‘Cello Squadron’ has a main theme based on Wagner’s famous ‘Ride of the Valkyries’.

Regis Liturgy Ensemble

MS MARIA LEE

The Regis Liturgy Ensemble consists of students from both Years 5 and 6 who have an advanced level of skills in musical performance. This year students in Regis Liturgy Ensemble had a fulfilling year celebrating a number of Regis masses together with friends and family. These included Mother’s Day Mass, Father’s Day Mass, and Grandparents’ Day Mass. We finished our year with the Thanksgiving Mass.

It is such a great joy to celebrate masses together with students in Regis Liturgy Ensemble who share their musical talents in bringing our community together and celebrating our catholic faith. I wish all the best to my Year 6 students as they move up to Senior School and look forward to continuing to celebrate masses together.

Regis Guitar Ensemble

MR RICHARD CICHOCKI

The Regis Guitar Ensemble consists of students from Years 5 and 6 with a range of skill levels from beginners to advanced. This year, our members enjoyed playing a wide selection of pieces from traditional to popular styles. We played the “Inspector Clouseau” theme at the Regis Activity End of Year Concert, which was an enjoyable performance that was well received by the audience.

The majority of the Regis Guitar Ensemble students take private tuition lessons, and some required assistance with their pieces, however all students progressed well throughout the year. The Ensemble continues to grow as more students are keen to join and are warmly welcomed.

Regis Percussion Ensemble

MS ALISON PRATT

It was challenging finding students keen and available to join the Regis Percussion Ensemble in Semester 1 this year. Since the beginning of Semester 2, we have seen a small but very dedicated group of three Year 5 students become involved in weekly lunchtime rehearsals, developing their rhythm, percussion techniques, versatility, creativity and listening skills. We prepared a piece where each student had input in composing (half notated, half improvised), and premiered it successfully at the Regis STEAM Expo on 23 November 2022 - the first performance with this talented group of students. I look forward to expanding

and developing this ensemble even more next year.

Regis Rock Band

MR RICHARD CICHOCKI

The Regis Rock Band includes drums, bass guitar, keyboard, guitars and vocals. Our members have been highly motivated and enjoyed playing a range of rock band pieces from the 60s through to the 90s. Over the year, the students gained valuable skills working together as a band and communicating musically with each other. The Regis Rock Band played at the Jesuit Mission Bazaar and various other events including the Regis End of Year Concert, where they entertained the audience with “It’s My life” by Bon Jovi.

All the students enjoyed their experience in the Rock Band, developed their skills, and made firm friendships which they will hopefully continue after they move to the Senior School.

Regis Concert Band

MR JAMES WALDER

The Regis Concert Band have had a productive and successful year with a number of interesting performance opportunities. We enjoyed having a large number of students in the ensemble, but this has also created some challenges around playing the dynamics of each piece correctly, and having a balanced sound between each section.

This year, the Regis Concert Band was invited to perform at Riverview in Concert

at the Senior School for the first time. They performed two Australian pieces: the triumphant “With Flags Unfurled” by Ralph Hultgren, and a long-time favourite at Regis, “Bunyip Blues” by Brian West. The Regis Band was also featured on the main stage in Ramsay Hall at the Jesuit Mission Bazaar, performing a number of pieces, including our first performance of an exciting new piece called “Surge” by Robert W. Smith. We also entertained our families at Grandparents Day, performing some of our favourite pieces of film music: the iconic “Raiders March” by John Williams from the Indiana Jones films, and the epic theme from “Avengers” by Alan Silvestri.

One of the highlights of the year was performing at the IPSHA Concert in the Sydney Town Hall. We accompanied the Regis Choir, performing “High Hopes” by the Pop-Rock band Panic! At the Disco. Accompanying a vocal group is very different to performing just as a band, and this was a valuable and enjoyable learning experience for all involved.

We finished up the year by performing a challenging work, “Prehistoric Suite” by Paul Jennings at Regis in Concert. This piece has four separate movements, each featuring different instrumental sections of the band. The final movement, “The Battle” contains some non-conventional playing techniques, which were a lot of fun to practise. We finished the night by once again performing “High Hopes” with the Regis Choir.

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 Campus Sport Report

REGIS CAMPUS SPORTMASTER: MICHAEL NOUD

Each year at Regis Campus we hold whole school Sport Carnivals for Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics. These are fun and exciting days where students can compete for selection into school teams or try to gain points for their class team to win the Class Champions Trophy.

Swimming Carnival

In Term 1 week 4 the Regis Campus Swimming Carnival was held at the Gartlan Centre swimming pool at the Senior school. This fantastic and fun-filled day saw everyone at Regis Campus compete and enjoy races designed to challenge students and to get them involved at their own swimming level as well offering students plenty of enjoyable novelty events.

Races were scheduled over 25m, 50m and 100m in Freestyle, Breaststroke, Backstroke and Butterfly as well as individual medleys, Relays and boogie board races.

Congratulations to Class 5.2 and 6.1 who were class champions, and to Charles O’Halloran and Jay R Appino who progressed to the State Championship Swimming Carnival.

Regis students also had the opportunity to compete in several other swimming carnivals in 2022, including the Brothers’ or BPSSA Invitation Swimming Carnival hosted by Riverview at the Gartlan Pool, the IPSHA Swimming Carnival at Homebush and the NSWCIS Carnival.

Cross Country Carnival

The annual Regis Campus Cross Country Carnival was held in Term 2 on Riverview 1st Field and surrounds. Students had the opportunity to compete over a 2.5km course in their age groups of 10,11, and 12 year divisions.

It was amazing to see all our Regis Campus students compete to their best ability. Some students focused on winning the event, while others tried hard to complete the course or gain a personal best effort.

Congratulations to Henry Perkins on his selection into IPSHA and NSWCIS Cross Country Carnivals.

Athletics Carnival

After two years of COVID cancellations, it was fantastic to see the return of the Athletics season and the development of the Athletics program. Students had been working hard in PDHPE lessons learning and qualifying for events at the school Athletics Carnival.

The Regis Campus Athletics Carnival was held on 1st Fieldcongratulations to classes 5.1 and 6.1 who won the Campus Athletics trophies.

Regis students also had the opportunity to compete in several other Athletics Carnivals in 2022, including the Brothers’ or BPSSA Invitation Athletics Carnival hosted by Riverview on 1st Field Riverview, the IPSHA Athletics Carnival at Homebush and the NSWCIS Carnival.

A number of students qualified for IPSHA, NSWCIS and State Athletics Carnivals; special mention to Jay R Appino, Daniel Blackmore, Henry Perkins, Xavier Chein, Oliver Trowell and Edward Towzell on their achievements.

2022 Sportsmen of the Year

In 2022 Sportsman of the Year Award was shared between two outstanding athletes.

Xander Crabb - Tennis

Xander is a gifted and talented tennis player who, in 2022, represented IPSHA, NSWCIS and NSW. As a member of the NSW Team Xander competed at the Australian Championships. He was also Captain of the NSWCIS Tennis Team at the State Championships and a member of the NSW Team that placed 3rd in Australia. He is a modest and unassuming athlete who has worked extremely hard to develop his talents in Tennis.

Henry Perkins - Touch Football

Henry is a gifted athlete who in 2022 excelled in several sports including Rugby, Touch, Athletics and Cross Country. Henry was selected in the IPSHA, NSWCIS and NSW Touch Teams; he was awarded the Most Valuable Player in the NSW Touch Team at the Australian Championships and was member of the NSW Team that placed 1st in Australia. Henry has contributed greatly to the Sport Program at Regis Campus and is an excellent role model and leader.

Representative Pathway

At Regis Campus some of our gifted and talented sport students had the opportunity to gain selection to higher level representation. Students were able to represent at School, IPSHA, NSWCIS, State and National levels.

To gain selection into these teams, students and to place highly in the Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country Carnivals, or be offered a chance to trial for selection in team or individual sports.

In 2022 several Regis Campus students managed to gain selection to progress to NSWCIS or State Championships or National Championships.

Summer Sport - Terms 1 and 4

The Summer Sport season is conducted commencing in Term 1 and concluding in Term 4 with a twelve-week competition that offers six games in Term 1 and another six in Term 4. In 2022, Regis Campus had 10 Basketball teams, six Cricket teams, four Tennis teams and three Touch teams.

The season commenced well with all students attending selection trials over a two- week period and then being graded into ability teams by selectors and coaching staff that would enable them to compete in the IPSHA Sport Association competition for Primary Schools.

Basketball

Almost 100 students were involved in the Basketball program with 10 teams comprising mixed age and mixed year group teams of Year 5 and 6 students. We saw some extremely talented and experienced players in our higher ranked teams through to Basketball novices who enjoyed their first season in the sport.

All the Regis teams from Team 1 to Team 10 played exceptionally well in the 2022 season and their enthusiasm and effort inspired our coaching staff to help them grow and develop their skills and team play.

Basketball is one of our more popular sports and Regis Campus is ranked very highly in the IPSHA Competition, where we regularly are one of the strongest schools in the competition. It was encouraging to be able to compete for the whole season after coming off two years of COVID-affected competitions.

Cricket

In Cricket in 2022, Regis Campus was able to field three Year 6 teams (12A,12B, and 12C) and three Year 5 teams (11A,11B, and 11C). Our primary school sport association, IPSHA, has adopted the Cricket Parent Sport Body Rule of playing a modified version of cricket, meaning our teams play a 9-a-side version of the game with limited overs that shorten the length of playing time to approximately 2 - 2.5 hours. Other modifications include playing on a smaller field with a shorter pitch that varies from 16 - 18 metres and using a smaller ball.

Another positive aspect of Modified Cricket is that all students must bat and bowl. The 9-a-side game enables all students to develop their skill and have equal opportunities to bat and bowl and experience a fairer and more equitable time at the batting crease. Students have the opportunity to bowl and field in a variety of positions. This change, we believe, has encouraged students to grow their skills and remain in the sport. The shorter version of the game will hopefully help grow and develop interest in cricket as well as allow more teams to play the game each weekend.

Our Year 5 and Year 6 teams played some exceptionally good games and it was wonderful to see them grow their skills and playing ability over the season. It was encouraging to see the enjoyment that teams got from playing for the school with their friends.

The Regis Cricket season saw a full round of fixtures after two seasons of COVID cancellations and shutdowns. It was wonderful to see students engaged and enthusiastic about cricket again.

Tennis

In 2022 Regis Campus had four Tennis teams with eight students from Years 5 and 6 combining to form each team. On Saturdays, the Regis teams played in the IPSHA schools competition, including a set of singles and a set of doubles, with the combined scores added together to decide the winning school.

We have some very talented and experienced players in Team A and some new and developing players in Team D, many of whom experienced their first attempt at competition Tennis and match play. The D team played a mixture of competition matches and practice fixtures as they were able to learn the skills of umpiring, scoring and game play.

The Regis Tennis teams had a mixed season with some outstanding wins and some narrow losses across the four teams in Term 1 and concluding in Term 4. It was heartening to return to normal weekly fixtures after having cancelled fixtures and limited play over the past several years.

Touch Football

Touch is an exciting, fast-paced and high-skilled game that challenges players to work hard in fast, short spells. Touch is a growing sport at

Regis with 35 players involved in the sport this season, having grown from one team of eight players two years ago to three teams in 2022.

Touch is played with six players on the field and up to seven interchange players who rotate on and off the field every two to three minutes, due to the fast pace and energy sapping nature of the game.

The Regis Touch teams had a mixture of highly experienced representative level players and students who were new to the sport. The Regis teams are developing their style of play to try to develop a fast paced and attacking style of game. The results for the three teams were very promising with the Regis Team 1 being the only undefeated team in Summer or Winter Sport. Congratulations to all students involved in Touch this season.

Winter Sport - Terms 2 and 3

In 2022 Regis Campus offered students the opportunity to select from AFL, Football or Rugby for their Winter Sport. Students trialled for selection in ability graded teams in Terms 1 and 2, with coaches and selectors given the opportunity to place students into teams best suited to their skill level.

The Primary School Winter Sport program is designed to target young players and contains modifications to the game to help young players learn and develop game skills. AFL, Football and Rugby teams at Regis Campus play in the IPSHA Competition that follows the individual governing sport bodies’ modifications and recommendations regarding pathways for young students to eventually become involved in the adult game.

AFL

In 2022 Regis Campus fielded one AFL team. The modified primary school version sees 12 team members playing on a half-size field for two 20-minute halves. These modifications cater for junior players and allows them to learn and develop the game play and to help improve their skills. With less players on the field, students get more touches of the ball and have the opportunity to be more involved in the game play.

The 2022 Regis AFL season saw players of all abilities involved in the games. We had players with great skills and experience as well as students who had the opportunity to be involved in AFL for the first time.

The Regis AFL Team had a mixed season of results with wins and losses. The very positive aspect of the season was the enthusiasm, effort, and enjoyment all the players displayed throughout the season.

Football

Regis Campus fielded eight Football teams in the 2022 season. The IPSHA Sport Association rules see teams playing 9-a-side matches on half size fields, meaning all players get more touches of the ball and have more opportunities to be involved in the game.

The benefits of these modifications have been very positive at Regis Campus with noticeable improvements in ball control and player involvement.

Our Year 5 and Year 6 teams had a great season playing many outstanding games. The coaching staff focussed on ball movement and passing into space, while working very hard to improve team play and positional awareness.

Football at Regis Campus is a very popular sport with many students involved in School, Club and Representative level games. Lunchtime play also sees many students involved in mini matches at recess and lunch breaks. Football is proving to be a highly competitive and successful sport at Regis Campus.

Rugby

Rugby at Regis Campus sees teams play in their school year group and age group categories. Year 5 students played 12-a-side matches on smaller fields in 20 minute halves; no push in scrums, no lifting in lineouts, and selection into ability ranked teams. Year 6 students played 15-a-side matches on smaller fields in 20 minute halves; no push in scrums, no lifting in the lineout and players selected into teams based on skill level, body shape, and ability.

A great deal of time was spent by coaching staff on developing correct and safe contact techniques and to skill development and progression of skills. This year saw many players with varying skill levels involved in the sport, from very talented and experienced through to first-timers to the sport.

Rugby remains a very popular and much-loved sport at Regis Campus. Our students in Year 5 and 6 teams had a very successful season winning many games and playing Rugby with great passion and energy. The effort of players in training and during Saturday matches was wonderful to see. The commitment to sportsmanship and playing a fast paced and attacking style of play was obvious to all.

Rugby at Regis continues to unearth many talented players and to welcome many students to the sport for their first time.

Teaching and Learning

Teaching and Learning Report

DEPUTY PRINCIPAL TEACHING AND LEARNING:

MR RUSSELL NEWMAN

The 2022 academic year saw the recording of one of the best set of external results that the College has ever witnessed. Once again, Riverview achieved HSC results which placed it within the top 50 schools in NSW with a range of accolades bringing attention to the graduating year group from the NSW Education Standards Authority.

In addition to the outstanding achievements of the graduating class, 2022 saw some major changes to curriculum delivery and the learning experience of many of our students.

Co-Educational Initiatives

Of significance to our Year 9 students of 2022 and the future, our very first group of ‘Pioneers’ joined students from Pymble Ladies College for a three-week residential

co-educational and outdoor experience at Vision Valley. This was to be the first of a twoyear pilot program to test the effectiveness of this kind of learning experience and it proved to be very well received by students and parents from both schools. Next year we will double our involvement and, depending on the evaluation, this program may find a permanent place in Riverview’s Year 9 curriculum.

As well as the residential experience, Riverview joined forces with Pymble on a number of other initiatives throughout the year, all designed to build authentic engagement between the genders across each year of schooling. These included a Year 5 ‘billy-cart building and racing’ day at Regis and a senior ‘Insights’ careers evening to listen to former students from both schools discuss their career journeys. The goal is ultimately to have some kind of engagement with Pymble for each year group, each year of enrolment.

New Curriculum Initiatives

2022 also saw the development of new elective courses for Year 8 students beginning next year. We have surveyed students to understand which types of courses most meet their needs and next year we will trial three new elective courses.

With changes announced by the NSW Education Standards Authority in relation to Category A and B HSC courses, Riverview has announced the introduction Construction Vocational Education Course to be delivered onsite from 2023. The TAS faculty is busily preparing for the introduction of the course which will see students use Construction as part of their ATAR without any of the previous limitations imposed by NESA.

We are also excited to announce the extension of our Magis Integrated Learning course into Year 10 with the introduction of Philosophy as a new 100-hour Year 10 elective. This course will be delivered by the Magis Faculty to ensure that it maintains the multi-disciplinary approach fostered in Years 7 to 9 and will lead students to deeper critical thinking and more authentic ways of approaching their HSC courses.

I especially thank the staff of the College for their continued commitment to ensuring quality teaching and learning throughout 2022. Every year, the staff continue to look for better ways to provide a Jesuit education for the students of Riverview, always seeking to improve themselves and their students in a true quest for human excellence.

Faculties

Business, Economics, Commerce and Legal Studies

HEAD OF FACULTY: MS MELISSA BOWERING

2022 was a wonderful year of teaching and learning for our BECL staff and students with face-to-face teaching back in full swing. As a faculty, we continued our focus on enhancing student engagement by offering meaningful and authentic learning experiences as students developed a deep understanding of the way society and business function in the modern world.

Once again, the 2022 HSC results are outstanding and a credit to both staff and students in the BECL faculty. In Business Studies 41% of students achieved a Band 6 and 84% of the 104 students achieved a Band 5 or Band 6. In Economics 32% of students achieved a Band 6 and 80% of students achieved a Band 5 or 6. In Legal Studies, 91% of students achieved a Band 5 or 6. These are exceptional results and a testament to the expertise and support offered by staff and the commitment and engagement of students in faculty.

Congratulations to all of our knowledgeable and enthusiastic teachers who have gone above and beyond to provide exceptional levels of support for students across Year 9 – 12 this year including Mr Stephen Croker, Mr Andrew McGovern, Mr Matt Parsons, Mr James Busteed, Mr George Sacco, Ms Tessa Nelmes, Ms Anne Benoit Renard, Fr Tom Renshaw SJ, Ms Billie Trkulja, Ms Valentina Raguz and Mr Todd Freedman.

This year in Economics students examined the dramatic changes to the economy in a post COVID world, including the significant rise in the inflation rate, fall in the unemployment rate, and the impact of these on consumers, borrowers, savers and business. Students assessed the fiscal and monetary policy responses to the changing economic conditions one year on from the pandemic. In addition, 2022 saw a change in

BUSINESS, ECONOMICS, COMMERCE AND LEGAL STUDIES

government and our students examined the shift in the policy response to climate change. The students also examined the economy of Brazil in detail. We prepared our Year 12 students with a holiday practice examination prior to the Trial and a series of seminars in preparation for the HSC.

Business Studies was also an interesting and authentic subject in the post-COVID world with the impact on global supply chains continuing to cause issues for businesses. With seven classes in Year 11 and five in Year 12, students were provided with authentic case study examples of how businesses operate and respond to external influences on a daily basis. The Year 11 students focussed on small businesses whilst the Year 12 classes examined large multinationals and operations, marketing, finance and human resources. We continued to use the HSC data to determine areas for improvement with our students and we focussed on formative assessments to practise short answers.

Legal Studies continues to be a popular 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 is never a dull moment in these classes.

Many of the achievements outlined above stem from a love of learning established in Year 9 and 10 Commerce. In Year 9, the students enjoyed making a video supporting a single issue (of their choice) party for a hypothetical election and examined the impact of creating and changing laws. The

students spent time researching the reason for new laws, its political impact and made a judgement on its effectiveness. They also spent time on consumer and financial decisions and had a lot of fun with our very popular Shark Tank task where they had to be creative and come up with a new business 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.

In Year 10, the students undertook a literacy task for Our Economy where they learnt the key skills needed to write essays in the BECL faculty. This was a highly successful task in which students developed much needed skills to be successful writers in Stage 6. They also 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 with a focus on the business environment and the economic environment. The students really enjoyed relating what they were learning to the continuously changing times we are living through.

This year we welcomed Fr Tom Renshaw SJ and Ms Valentina Raguz to the Year 9 Commerce team, and Mr Leon McAllister, Mr Todd Freedman to our Business Studies and Commerce teams. We farewelled Ms Fiona Richards at the end of Term 1 and Ms Anne Benoit Renard at the end of Term 3 as they took up positions in other schools. In addition, we wish Mr James Busteed and Mr Matt Parsons wonderful holidays as they take periods of long service leave. We welcome back our Head of Faculty Ms Suzanne Silk in 2023.

Drama

HEAD OF DRAMA:

MS LOUISE ARNOTT

2022 has marked one of the most inspiring and remarkable years for Drama at Riverview. Following two years of COVID disruptions to the world of theatre nationally and at the College, our Drama students emerged with even greater passion and enthusiasm to produce a body of exemplary performance work and creative shows throughout the year. All students studying Elective Drama in Years 9,10,11 and 12 were given opportunities to view vibrant new theatre productions in our Sydney theatres and experience specialised workshops in circus skills, physical theatre and method acting techniques from visiting professional theatre directors.

To close the year, we were thrilled to receive news that the extremely talented 2022 Year 12 HSC Drama students received the highest number of nominations for the NESA Drama showcase OnSTAGE ever received at the College. Akol Akol, Fin Barry, Louis Cage, Joe Calleia, James Craig, Oliver Ell, Matt Fielding, Luke Fish, Angus Greiner, Harry Hadley, Juach Juach, Xavier Masztak, Zak Skaf, Max Toohey, Jack Treacy and Sam Waterson all received OnSTAGE nominations for excellence in their 2022 HSC Drama Group and Individual Performances. Nominations are an indication of an exceptional level of performance achieved at an exemplary level and reflect the exceptional talent and dedication of all the boys in this outstanding cohort.

From these nominations the Group Performance entitled Phar Lap performed by Louis Cage, James Craig, Oliver Ell, Angus Greiner and Max Toohey has now been chosen to participate in the prestigious NESA Drama Exemplary Showcase in 2023 from over 6000 Drama students across NSW. This is our second performance at the College to be selected over the past 10 years, an honour indicative of the outstanding results of all the Drama boys. The group’s performance resonated passionately with our Riverview audience through the narrative of the famous Australian racehorse Phar Lap, highlighting the corruption within Australia’s horse racing and gambling industry.

Viewing live theatre productions is an important part of the Drama syllabus and is always reflected in the high standard of performance work at the College. Year 11 Elective Drama began the year viewing the outstanding multimedia interpretation of The Picture of Dorian Grey directed by Kip Williams at Sydney Theatre Company. Later in the semester Year 9 Drama Students also visited Sydney Theatre Company to view the wonderful Noel Coward farce Blithe Spirit Year 10 Drama were thrilled by the Alfred Hitchcock adaption of the film North by Northwest starring David Campbell at the Lyric Theatre; and to close our wonderful season of theatre viewing in Sydney, Alex Buzo’s Theatre company performed their show of the Year 12 HSC Text Norm and Ahmed in our own O’Kelly Theatre to our Stage 6 Drama boys. These outstanding performances enjoyed by all our elective Drama students served as invaluable experiences, providing insight into theatrical decisions and staging to inform our students’ own performance work.

The Elective Drama Showcase closed our very busy year in Drama with a showing of some of the diverse range of performances from the various theatrical styles and conventions we teach in the Elective Drama classes. The show was a brilliant display of the extraordinary work we see every day in our Drama classrooms.

There is much to celebrate in the coming year with the introduction of the new Year 8 Drama course and a full season of shows and showcases for all boys in Years 7-12 in the O’Kelly Theatre. We are truly blessed with a richness of talent and zest for performance at Riverview. Our Drama students are passionate, creative and most importantly love theatre. The Drama Department is looking forward to another exciting year ahead in 2023.

HEAD OF FACULTY:

MRS DEBRA WILLIAMS

In his deeply moving memoir, The Happiest Man on Earth, Eddie Jaku reminds us that friendship and happiness are the things that matter most, that hate is futile, and love is transcendent. Fittingly, Jaku’s book was our 2022 Riverview Reads selection. It circulated classrooms and permeated year groups and homes, doing what its celebrated author wanted: spreading joy and insight through a shared story.

2022 was a year to reforge connections as teachers and students returned to bustling school routines punctuated by influenza and the ever-present, if diminished, Covid-19. However, returning to ‘business as usual’ would have prevented the previous years’ pedagogical insights from flourishing. This reflection prompted the faculty’s review of our approach to Canvas, which we streamlined to increase parity and consistency across all classes. Furthermore, our 2022 target correlated with a broader school goal to focus on directive verbs, which we then used to streamline our explicit teaching of writing skills using the P.O.W.E.R. acronym (planning, organisation, writing, editing, revising) as part of our strategy.

We embraced opportunities to celebrate poetry and writing. World Poetry Day coincided with International Day of Forests in 2022, so we fused the two by focusing on the English poet and Jesuit priest Gerard Manly Hopkins and his poem “God’s Grandeur”. Also, the much-anticipated launch of The Global Story Project Anthology, an international collection of young writers’ work featuring eleven Riverview boys, was held in the library in April. The boys worked with the author James Knight in 2020 as part of an enrichment project. Congratulations to all involved in bringing this to fruition.

We were fortunate to host several incursions and also attend excursions. The outstanding Poetry-In-Action performers delivered the following shows: “Elements of Rhyme” to Year 7, “Riots and Revolutions” to Year 9, and “Words of War” to Year 11 Standard students studying Wilfred Owen. The Year 12

teaching team facilitated a full day of writing workshops to introduce Module C: The Craft of Writing to H.S.C. Standard and Advanced students. Our Year 11 Extension students attended The Writers’ Festival student workshops, and in Term Four, the 2023 H.S.C. Advanced students watched The Tempest at the Sydney Theatre Company. It has been a rich and instructive year for the boys.

The HSC results were affirming for students and staff. It is clear Riverview boys are in the very best hands, nurtured into being not only State rank recipients (three in total: Standard, James O’Rourke; Advanced, Oliver Ell; and Extension Two, Samuel Kearney) but astute men of compassion and conscience as their immersion in literature catalyses empathy for others, and their creative and critical thinking skills will strengthen all future pathways. We congratulate all our Year 12 students and wish them every happiness as they forge life beyond Riverview, whether they study, travel, or find employment.

We welcomed Aimee Ingram, an exceptional leader and educator, into the faculty this year. Also, Christine Paek - who replaced Rosie McKay in Term 4 - will return in 2023. In Term 2, we farewelled Bronwyn Lobsey, a much-loved educator, who moved to St Philip’s Christian College in Gosford. We also wish our friends Jennifer Jackson and Alice Ossowski the best in their future leadership endeavours as Dean of Professional Learning at Rosebank College and Head of House at Loreto Normanhurst, respectively. Tim Byrne is moving to Queenwood to teach History, and Stuart McRae is moving to Hong Kong to teach English at the Australian International

School. Luciana Murphy is relocating to ACT and will begin the new year at Canberra Grammar. We thank our dear colleagues for their professionalism and collegiality and for imbuing our faculty with joy and laughter.

In other joyous news, Tim and Lauren Byrne welcomed their first baby, Matilda, into the world, as did Nick and Sarah Heydon with little Evangeline.

I sincerely thank Rosie McKay, Marilyn Fitzgerald, and Nick Heydon (Term 4) for their expertise and support as Assistant Head of Faculty. It is a privilege to teach this subject and work alongside my entire team of brilliant teachers, sharing a love of literature and learning with our many students.

First Nations

HEAD OF FACULTY: MR KALEB TAYLOR

Firstly to Cammeraigal country, to the Cammeraigal elders both past and present, our First Nations cohort now and always pay our respects to you because we feel so blessed to live, educate, grow and just be present on this beautiful land. We will continue to try our best to keep the legacy of this place alive and well, which was created for us by those before us.

This year we welcomed six new Year 7 students to the program along with three new Year 9 students, from communities such as Wellington and Dubbo Wiradjuri country, Bundaberg - Goreng Goreng, Lightning Ridge Goodooga (x2) and Tamworth -Gamillaraay/ Yuwalarray, Ballarat - Wathurung, and Bourke – Kurnu Paakyanti/Wangkumar. A big welcome and well done to these young men, Jed, Kestrel, Aiden, Kannen, William, Tyrese, Mathew, Harper and Traevion, for the way you have gone about making immediate contributions to the College and bringing your own energies to the place. I have to say how proud I am of you all for the way you have handled such a remarkable first year of leaving the nest and also I want to thank the rest of our young men for really watching over the new students and mentoring each other so well throughout the year.

The highlight of the year for me was, once again, our ‘Sorry Day’ ceremonies. As is now tradition, on the 26th of May, our First Nations young men and I had the honour of running the whole school assembly. This began with the Sunrise Ceremony at 5.45am with all First Nations students and some special guests all greeting the new day together, a special acknowledgement to our student cohort who all helped show the whole school some special songs and dances. You should have seen how powerfully this ceremony was both given and accepted. A big thank you to brothers Darren Compton and Josh Sly from Muggera Cultural Enterprise for singing these songs for us, we are blessed for the gifts of these dances and to carry on the ceremony of our elders and ancestors into the here and now. My favourite part of the day was Waddama, the shake-a-leg

dance where we got to see the gents show off their moves and see their true personalities come out, thank you young men for holding this space with me once again.

I would like to give a big thanks to Mr Joe Boneham, Mr Stefan Pulpitel, and Mr Dominic Moore, who are our specialised teachers looking after our First Nations cohort in the academic world, helping to not only keep our young men on track, but allowing each individual to thrive within their own academic story. Of course, much respect to all of our young men who have not missed a lesson with these teachers this year. It is this commitment from our students and the skill of our teachers that has built academic resilience and allowed us to become a community that is comfortable being academically challenged and becoming a group where enjoying learning and sharing our own knowledge is just what we do.

Finally, to our Year 12 leaders Graham and Elijah, what a journey it has been and a big congratulations for completing your secondary schooling journey! You have both grown into such impressive young men, ready to tackle the world. Thank you for allowing me to be part of that journey - it has been an absolute pleasure to watch you grow and know fully within spirit you are going to be more than capable of making big positive changes in this world. Your footprint will stay here forever. Yawu.

Stage 4

In the classroom the students learnt about Water in the World and its value as a resource, yet in some areas such as the Middle East and Africa, water is very scarce and unique strategies such as desalination plants have had to be implemented to alleviate the water scarcity. We also studied landforms and landscapes with Year 8 with a specific case study on the Blue Mountains where we took the students on an excursion to see the natural beauty and how the unique environment has been managed.

For the Place and Liveability topic we focussed on the students writing a children’s book that showed how a place and the environment are interconnected. The best books by Michael Hadwen, Antony Nobilo and Joseph McKeown were selected, published, and gifted to the Jesuit Refugee Service as reading material. The final section that is covered in Year 8 is the Interconnections topic where students must analyse how they are a global citizen and are connected through products they use to the rest of the world.

Stage 5

In Year 9 Global Studies the students studied Oceanography where they did some fieldwork on the sea urchin population at Balmoral beach and the impact of humans on the coastal ecosystem in the area. Students also studied political geography with a specific focus on Brexit, gun laws in America and terrorism. The final topic was the Geography of Sport and how political and external influences impact major global sports and events such as the Olympics.

Our Year 10 students studied Human Wellbeing and the differences between developed and developing countries, with a specific case study and focus on the disparities of human wellbeing that exist within Sydney. The next topic was focussed on biomes and the ability of the biomes to produce food and how we can secure our food resources in the future. We then moved onto the Changing Places topic where we explored the patterns of urbanisation around the world, and then we focused on the way cities are developed and planned with students designing their own suburb and justifying the design based on fundamental planning themes. In the final topic, students studied environmental management and compared a similar environment from Australia with one from overseas.

Stage 6

In Year 11 Geography the students started with a case study topic on Coasts which illustrates the biophysical interactions of the four spheres together in the one environment. The students then did fieldwork on the coastal area of Narrabeen and Collaroy to identify the biophysical processes and human impacts and management approaches that have been implemented for the area. The students then

studied population geography where they learnt about the global issues associated with the uneven distribution of population and the migration patterns that move people around the world. We then studied natural resources geography and development geography.

Our Year 12 cohort was one of the biggest we have had at the college and the students worked hard throughout the year, culminating in completing their HSC Geography Examination. The students studied three topics for their HSC, which began with the Economic Activity study of Viticulture as a global industry and then a localised case study of Tamburlaine Winery. The second topic focussed on human geography with a study of world cities, mega cities and urban dynamics with a case study on Sydney. The final topic was on Ecosystems at Risk and the students learnt about two case studies of ecosystems such as Intertidal wetlands at Homebush and the great Barrier Reef in Queensland.

New Additions

We were so excited to welcome a new member to the Geography family at Riverview this year when Cassie Crompton had a beautiful baby daughter Bridie. As a result of Cassie being on maternity leave we have welcomed Miss Stephanie Vardas into the faculty.

History

HEAD OF FACULTY:

MR TRENT MCALLAN

As we moved out of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were filled with a sense of hope and renewal. This year has been a challenging one, making up for missed opportunities in 2021, but it has also been a time of growth and resilience.

Year 10 students had the opportunity to learn about genocides as part of their Term 1 studies. Their understanding was deepened through an excursion to the Jewish Museum where they were able to deepen their understanding of the direct impact of the Holocaust through the Holocaust survivor talk and tour of the museum with the children of a survivor. This experience was truly enriching and helped to foster care for their common home and compassion, in line with the Jesuit values that guide our school.

Year 9 students were able to engage in the Year 9 Challenge this year with students

taking part in an excursion to the ANZAC Memorial, where they learned about the role of women in WWI and the impact of war on returned soldiers through Morris Gleitzman’s Loyal Creature monologue. This experience was a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who have served our country, and it helped our students to gain a deeper appreciation of the world around them.

As part of their study on the contemporary social justice issues facing Indigenous communities, the Year 12 Aboriginal Studies class participated in an excursion to Redfern. To immerse themselves in this community, they visited various services, such as Tribal Warrior, National Centre of Indigenous Excellence (NCIE) and the Redfern PCYC, where they spoke with an Aboriginal Police Community Liaison Officer. Students then spent the afternoon at Redfern Jarjum College, where they participated in a community lunch and engaged in cultural activities with the students. This excursion deepened their knowledge of the educational, health and criminal justice issues, and enabled opportunities to share culture, and the social justice initiatives available to the community. In addition to these excursions, this year also saw curriculum changes designed to engage and foster students’ passion for lifelong learning. Our aim is to inspire students to

become well-rounded individuals who are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the world beyond the classroom.

As we look back on this year, we are proud of our HSC results, which were again very strong across Modern History, History Extension, and Aboriginal Studies. Our cohort in Ancient History was particularly strong, achieving 10% above the state average, which is a testament to the hard work and dedication of all the students.

Finally, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the staff who have made this year possible. Ms Jo Keeling-Lowe, Miss Vanessa Blake, Mr Peter McNamara, Mr David Wales, Ms Kimberley Romeo, Ms Tessa Nelmes, Miss Nikki Brown, Mrs Leonie Gastineau-Hills, Mr Joshua Conlon, and Mr Andrew Nader have all gone above and beyond to support our students, and we are truly grateful for their unwavering commitment and passion.

Integrated Learning (Magis)

HEAD OF FACULTY: MS ERIN JOHNSON

It has been an engaging and productive year in the Integrated Learning Faculty.

Year 7

It was a busy year for our Year 7 students, with the ‘STEM in Sport’ unit as an introduction to collaborative learning with new friends and new high school expectations. Students were invited to enter the 2022 Creative Thinking Challenge where they thought critically and creatively to suggest futuristic technological ideas to further develop a sport for the Invictus Games. Congratulations to the winners:

/ Charles Fuller - Most inclusive design

/ Jago Ramage - Most creative idea

/ Sevan Tevanian - Best technical drawing

Term 2 saw students shift their focus to ‘Care for our Common Home’ with the ‘Conservation Warrior’ unit. Guided by the design thinking model, students researched an endangered animal and a STEM project seeking to improve an animal’s status in order to build a website that educates others about

their selected endangered animals. Term 3 started with all students participating in a day of coding hosted by Code Camp. It was a large undertaking and a great precursor to the ‘RoboRace’ coding and robotics unit. Students worked collaboratively to code a sphero robot around a self-designed race track. It was impressive to witness the time and effort students committed to all their projects this year.

Year 8

Year 8 was incredibly busy this year. Term 1 began by reflecting on what matters to them as an individual in order to prepare a piece of writing to be entered in The Whitlam Institute What Matters Writing Competition. Students wrote on a range of topics including, sports, sustainability, the war in the Ukraine, and family violence. From more than 5000 entries nation-wide Jack McAvoy’s piece ‘Anxiety Matters’ was included on the shortlist. Jack’s writing highlighted the challenges faced by people living with anxiety and called us as a community to be better educated about mental health conditions.

In Term 2 Year 8 students participated in the ‘Care for our Common Home’ incursion. Guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals the students moved through a variety of activities including a presentation from Mr Hight from Cleanaway about waste and recycling. In celebration of ‘World Oceans Day’ Mrs Byrne prepared and presented an interactive workshop about sustainable fishing and food security. Mrs Lonard and Mrs Michelsons facilitated the annual ‘In Her Shoes’ action reflection event. The students reflected on how women

and girls carry the burden of sourcing clean drinking water for their families in many Developing Countries. They then completed a 2km walk around the College while sharing the load of a 10kg jerry can of water. Finally Mr Taylor led the students on an exploration of significant sites around the College grounds, reminding them about our shared responsibility to achieve reconciliation with our First Nations Peoples.

Year 9

Our Year 9 program was inspired by The Jesuit’s Bookends Project, Semester 1 focussed on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People. The year started with a fantastic cultural presentation from Mr Sinclair from Mirri Mirri. Mr Sinclair and his staff taught the students how to throw a woomera, light a fire and weave jewellery. Staff worked tirelessly to prepare learning experiences that guided students to consider the untold histories of Australia since 1788. In Semester 2 the focus shifted to Refugees and their experiences here in Australia where students researched, planned and created a social media post about a current global crisis resulting in people becoming refugees. It was an enlightening learning experience for students and staff alike.

I thank all staff involved for their never-ending enthusiasm for learning.

Languages

HEAD OF FACULTY: MS LOUELLA PERRETT

The release of the HSC results in December proved to be a time of celebration for the Languages Faculty. Charles Henry, an exceptional linguist who studied both Latin and Classical Greek at Continuers and Extension level, came second in the state in Classical Greek Continuers. Six of the eight students who attempted the Extension course in a language attained an E4, the highest band.

The integration of language and culture is at the core of all Riverview language programs. We endeavour to give our students an authentic experience of the language, which includes cultural excursions and incursions, joint activities with other schools and participation in competitions. It was very gratifying to offer once again a broader program of face-to-face interaction after the restrictions of COVID.

In May, our students competed in the 2022 NSW Chinese Bridge Speech Competition. Riverview’s long-standing tradition of success was replicated with Finlay Ross attaining first place, Justin Choy second and Patrick Connell third. In the Australian Final of the competition, Justin Choy won third place and qualified for the global round. As a result of his participation in this round, Justin won a one term study scholarship to China. Finlay Ross was interviewed by SBS Radio Mandarin Service about his achievements and motivation in learning Chinese.

In July, the Year 9 and 10 French students immersed themselves in French culture with a visit to the Alliance Française. This was followed by lunch at the Four Frogs Creperie in Lane Cove, where they were able to interact with the waiting staff in French.

The Inclusion Program Italian and the Year 8 French Foundation courses have a particularly strong experiential and intercultural focus. The Inclusion Program class prepared spaghetti bolognaise and pizza in their kitchen with the assistance of Mrs Kathleen Hunt and Mrs Kim Prodinger. On other special occasions they enjoyed Italian biscotti and gelato. The students created presentations,

art works, travel brochures and blogs on Italy and the Italian language. The Year 8 French Foundation class particularly enjoyed learning to speak the language. They loved acting out role plays. They also worked in small groups to create video clips in French, preparing scripts and then recording themselves with confidence. The resulting performances were often amusing and displayed the hidden talents of the students.

Our Classics students availed themselves of the full program of events offered by the Classical Languages Teachers’ Association. In June, Gabriel Ashmore, Finn EgertonWarburton, William de Vos and Ciaran Wilde represented the school at the Kevin Lee Latin Quiz, a night of trivia and fun celebrating all things ancient Roman. Also in June, our senior students attended the Year 12 Latin Study Day at Barker College, a program of lectures and workshops on the HSC prescribed texts. An online version of the event was hosted by Riverview in August for the HSC Classical Greek courses, with participants coming from both NSW and Victoria. In July, the same

students gathered at Newington College for the annual Senior Classics Dinner. The event recreates the spirit of the classical convivium, an occasion for social interaction, the strengthening of friendship and the nurturing of the soul. In August, the Year 9 Latin class participated in the Year 9 Latin Reading Competition at Sydney Girls’ High School and gained third place in the choral recitation section.

The faculty is always looking to improve the language learning experience of students. In 2022 we implemented a new senior Italian course, and we will be moving to a new French course for Years 8-10 in 2023. At the end of the year, the faculty conducted an extensive student engagement survey. The results were positive and encouraging and will give direction for further improvements to our curriculum.

Learning Enrichment

HEAD OF FACULTY:

MR DOMINIC WILKINSON

2022 has been a year of consolidation following the significant disruption of the past two years resulting from Covid 19. The team has shown great adaptability throughout this recent period and their commitment to student needs has been unwavering. Whilst some of the challenges from this period persist, 2022 has also been a year of growth as the team continues to focus on building an inclusive teaching and learning culture across the College.

We have continued to explore ways to best support students and staff and the development of the co-teaching pilot is indicative of the team’s commitment to adaptive change as we expand our practices to best support those students with additional learning needs. The co-teaching framework was embedded across the College in 2022 and was instrumental in developing teacher efficacy and promoting student access to learning.

With an overarching commitment to diversity, competence and compassion, 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. The Learning Enrichment team worked closely with other staff to increase student access and meet our obligations under the Nationally Consistent Collection of Disability Data (NCCD). Specific work on developing students’ broader literacy and executive functioning skills has been integral to increasing student engagement and curriculum access. These are necessary skills for student development and when linked into collaborative planning, is a proven framework for student growth. Through this practice, the Learning Enrichment team acts as conduits to all areas of the College. This work is incredibly important for building staff capacity and relationships all targeted towards supporting students to meet the demands of the respective stage curricula.

The dedicated support provided by Learning Enrichment begins at Regis and ensures students can develop the 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 7-12 on a year group basis. This support is individualised and aimed at building skills for learning and self-confidence which in turn builds the overall wellbeing of students with additional learning needs. It is hoped that this collaborative and direct support enables students to identify their strengths and further develop some of the skills for learning they require to manage the curriculum and assessment landscape across the College.

In addition, the Faculty for Learning Enrichment continues to provide support for students requiring Disability Provisions for the Higher School Certificate, which has become a 12-month rolling operation from NESA applications to the final examinations.

2022 has seen the continuation of the AISNSW First Nations Waratah project aimed at supporting the outcomes of the Indigenous cohort at the College. The College continues to act as a hub school for Loreto, Knox Grammar, Barker College and New England Grammar School. Overall, the co-ordinated program linking teachers, tutors, language therapists and cultural mentors continues to have a positive impact on the students’ outcomes within the boarding house and day school. The multi-disciplinary framework of support which taps into both academic and cultural knowledge across the College and hub network, is instrumental in building students’ literacy and numeracy skills and supporting the transition processes for Indigenous students entering the College.

The professional demands on the Faculty for Learning Enrichment continue to grow and we endeavour to build our professional knowledge and skills to meet the various demands across the team. Continual professional learning around the areas of literacy, diagnostic assessments, data, leadership, First Nations education, and wellbeing underpin the professional growth across the team. This ensures we can adapt to the many challenges and demands within the role whilst maintaining a contemporary focus on our practices. The team continuously meets these challenges with the utmost professional capability 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.

Next year I look forward to the development of a bespoke Learning Enrichment Canvas page to support both students and parents along with further refinements around the co-teaching framework.

Each year I am both moved and impressed by the work of our team, and I would like to thank each member of the faculty for their dedicated work and support over the past year. Each member continues to make a significant impact on student learning outcomes and overall wellbeing, along with the broader culture of inclusivity across the College. For that and the support provided to me by the team, I am most grateful.

Library & Information Services

HEAD OF FACULTY: MS JESSICA LONARD

This year in the Christopher Brennan Library has been particularly noteworthy, with a variety of events and initiatives aimed at inspiring students, fostering intellectual curiosity and promoting literacy and the love of books. The library staff worked tirelessly throughout the year to ensure that students had access to the resources and support they needed. The library’s collection of books and other materials was constantly updated, with new titles added regularly. The library staff also provided students with guidance on how to find and use the resources available in the library, including databases, e-books, and other digital resources.

Teaching and Learning

In February we were delighted to welcome our new Year 7 students to the Senior School with the Information Literacy and Library Orientation Program. Students were introduced to the library and its offerings beginning with a pirate-themed Escape Room run by our library staff. The problem-solving activities oriented students to the library and its services and also informed them about the activities on offer. This was followed by a sequence of lessons where students were able to gain confidence in their information literacy skills by learning about different library tools such as the catalogue and the library website.

In Term 1 our Teacher Librarians co-taught with the History faculty to deliver research lessons for Years 9 and 10 where primary and secondary sources were examined as part of their historical study on The Movement of Peoples and Genocide

Senior students access the library for their study periods and utilise a range of study guides and online resources such as LibGuides and databases. Senior students can gain assistance with study skills, note making, citation creation and effective research.

LIBRARY & INFORMATION SERVICES L-R: Aaron Speed-Johnson, Jennifer Pocknall, Jessica Lonard, Courtney Compton-O’Brien, Sally Wentriro, Rowena Byrne Absent: Heather Cloudsdale and Margaret Cullen (Regis Librarians)

In November, the library hosted Digital Literacy workshops for Year 9 students with a focus on Ethical Scholarship. This workshop was designed to cover a wide range of topics, including plagiarism, copyright and correct citation of sources. This is just a small glimpse into the variety of teaching and learning that occurred in the library in 2022.

Reading Engagement

In 2022, the library continued its ongoing initiatives to support student learning and literacy. Arising out of a collaboration between the library, Riverview’s Literacy Working Group and the English Faculty, the 1:1 Reading Program pilot involved forming small, focused reading groups, allowing for tailored book recommendations and discussion. This pilot was successful, including the cura personalis which put the perfect book into the hands of each student through their small group discussion. This has led to plans for an official rollout in 2023 where all classes in Years 7 - 9 will participate.

Extracurricular Activities

It was a particularly strong year for extracurricular activities in the library with groups of students participating in a variety of activities. Student clubs included Anime and Manga Club, Dungeons & Dragons Club and Lego Club. The standout this year was Dungeons & Dragons Club with many students participating in “D&D” campaigns. With the guidance of their Dungeon Master Mr Speed-Johnson, this student-run group met at lunchtime and was a great opportunity for students to immerse themselves in a world

of fantasy, adventure and magic. The club was a great way for students to build friendships, improve their social skills and develop their imagination.

The Christopher Brennan Library’s commitment to student success was evident in all of its initiatives and events in 2022. Through its various programs and services, the library has helped to cultivate a culture of lifelong learning and has provided students with the resources and support they need to succeed both inside and outside of the classroom.

Mathematics

HEAD OF FACULTY:

MR GLENN ABRAHAMS

The Mathematics Faculty entered 2022 with renewed enthusiasm following our previous two years with extended stints in Virtual Learning Mode (VLM). However, many of the important elements developed during VLM transferred into our face-to-face teaching and learning experiences during 2022.

An important component in modern Mathematics teaching is to engage students using technology. Mathematics teachers can employ interactives to develop concepts and give students a concrete, visual understanding of important mathematical theory. For example, in Year 8 a virtual manipulative can be used to demonstrate why the Area of a Circle is (pi*radius squared) by unrolling a circle into the area of a rectangle. Alternatively, in Year 9 GeoGebra can be used to explore the angle sum of a polygon. Features of curves and graphing techniques, including transformations, are explained using graphing packages such as Desmos.

As part of each teacher’s professional development at the College, I have been fortunate to observe lessons from Maths faculty members. Teachers have continued to engage with student data to inform their teaching practice for both formative and summative assessments.

One such example of Maths teacher development has been the use of one of the key online subscriptions that our College provides to the students, namely www. mathspace.com.au. I have witnessed teachers design learning activities to determine the level of student understanding using formative tasks. The teachers analyse the student data, then use a range of intervention strategies to improve student understanding in areas which require extra attention. Consequently, the interventions have been successful in improving student performance on summative assessment tasks.

The external provider www.mathspace.com. au has a national awards program designed to celebrate exceptional teachers, who are shaping the future of maths education and

making valuable contributions to their school community. Mr Jeff Myles and Mrs Fiona Yates were acknowledged and nominated as finalists for their learning design using the www.mathspace.com.au platform. Congratulations to Mr Chris Wright who progressed beyond the finalist category and was awarded one of the 20 nationwide Transformative teaching awards from 8000 applicants, following in the footsteps of a previous College award winner Mr Daniel Hyde.

Another great professional development experience was the Mathematics Association of NSW (MANSW) Annual Conference during the Term 3 holidays. The theme of the conference was “Changing Times: Changing Directions”. It not only explored Syllabus developments but promoted engaging mathematical investigations and ideas to enhance student development.

The Mathematics Department welcomed the new academic year with impressive news from the Higher School Certificate (HSC), recording an impressive tally of E4 / Band 6 examination results. This maintained the excellent standard of Mathematics results achieved by students at the College.

During 2022, highly respected and gifted Mathematics teacher Kathy Mullan and her husband Terry welcomed the birth of their first child, a daughter Fiadh (an Irish name –meaning ‘fawn’ or ‘little deer’). While Kathy immersed herself in family life, we were fortunate to employ Sam Maher to cover Kathy’s maternity leave. Sam has been a great addition to our faculty with his phenomenal

intellect, dedication to meaningful educational activities and broad range of work experiences that have contributed to the education that he offers our young men. We were also fortunate to employ Mikayla Kim (a final year high achieving student at Sydney University) as a Maths Intern for the year. Mikayla was selected from an impressive pool of candidates and her academic achievements have been matched throughout the year by her impressive classroom practice. Mr Paul Collins has worked closely with Mikayla throughout the year and both her internship and teaching practicum have been outstanding.

I would like to commend the efforts of the entire Mathematics staff for their commitment to preparation, pedagogy, assessment, and reporting in 2022. 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

It has been a very exciting year for the Music Faculty, with music finally coming back into the classroom. After a couple of disrupted years, with remote learning and restrictions on performances, it has been so wonderful to see the students collaborating and performing together. All of our classes have been able to re-engage with the Music program and celebrate the return of music making, with opportunities to discuss and create ideas together, and perform in a live setting as soloists and ensembles.

Our focus again for 2022 has been on music literacy, implementing strategies, including “say it and play it” as well as Music notation software, to assist students with developing and improving their skills in reading and writing music notation, as well as increasing their knowledge and understanding of music terminology.

Each of our Music classes has been busy this year honing their skills on an instrument and exploring a variety of Music genres. Topics have included Music of the Baroque, Classical and Romantic Periods; Australian Music; Popular Music; Jazz; and Music for Small Ensembles. It has been a pleasure to witness the progress made by each and every student, and the enjoyment they have demonstrated through being able to share the music making process together once again.

Perhaps the most disrupted HSC Music class of recent years, our Class of 2022, after spending Years 10 and 11 learning and collaborating from behind a screen, have gained outstanding results. This year, live performance returned without restrictions and our Year 12 Music students were able to present their HSC programs to parents, friends and staff at the HSC Music 1, Music 2 and Music Extension Showcase, held on 9th August in Ramsay Hall. We were also able to welcome external examiners back to the College, including the NESA examiners who marked our students’ performance and musicology programs for the HSC Examination. Our students presented their well-rehearsed programs with confidence and the results have been reflective of their efforts. In particular, we would like to congratulate two of our students, Max Ghiazza (Bass Guitar – 12 Music 1) and Lachlan Easdown (Tenor Saxophone – 12 Music 2 and Music Extension) for their Encore nominations.

Throughout the year, our Music students have had opportunities to perform for the College community at assemblies and events. These students include:

⁄ Orlando McDermott (Year 12- Music 1Piano) “Star dust” | Hoagy Carmichael

⁄ Rian Cobb (Year 11 Music 2 – Guitar and Voice) “Big Yellow Taxi” | Joni Mitchell

⁄ Oliver El l (Year 12 – Trumpet) “Last Post and Rouse”

⁄ Louis Ji (Year 12 Music 1 – Cajon), Ahran Grimes (Year 9 - Bass Guitar), Jack Treacy (Year 12 Music 1– Voice), Luca Maher (Year 12 music 1 – Voice) “Yil Lull” | Joe Geia

⁄ Stephen Barchinski (Year 8 - Bandura)“The Bandura Player” | Taras Shevchenko

⁄ Lachlan Easdown (Year 12 Music 2 and Extension - Tenor Saxophone) and Max Ghiazza (Year 12 Music 1 - Bass Guitar)

- “Moanin’” | Charles Mingus (Leo Pellegrino Solo Adaptation)

⁄ Hamish Grover (Year 11 Music 1 –Trombone) - “Satin Doll”| Duke Ellington

⁄ Zac Dockney (Year 9 – Trumpet) - “Last Post and Reveille”

⁄ Year 11 Music 1 class “Prepare Ye” | Stephen Schwatrz

⁄ Year 7 Rock band “Circus Animals”“Rock and Roll” | Led Zeppelin

⁄ Rian Cobb (Year 7) from “Deep Focus” - “Do It Again” | Original song

2022 has been a busy but rewarding year for the Music Faculty. I would like to thank our Music Captain, Max Ghiazza, and ViceCaptain, Lachlan Easdown, for their efforts and support this year.

Of course, quality music education cannot be provided without quality music educators. I would like to thank our knowledgeable and talented Music teaching staff and the Music Admin staff for their dedication, creativity and enthusiasm throughout the year.

PDHPE

HEAD OF FACULTY:

MR PETER KOVACS

2022 saw us welcome two new members to the PDHPE faculty. Ms Laura Bernasconi joined us from Monte Sant’ Angelo College where she had taught for 17 years. Laura brought a wealth of experience and expertise and made an immediate impact with significant contributions to the direction of teaching and learning in the faculty and the development of programs. Laura has been a great acquisition for our faculty and the College. Mr Anthony Begg also joined the faculty from Kinross Wolaroi and is also the College’s new Director of Boarding. Working across these two areas saw Anthony do a great juggling act as he successfully managed to contribute to the development and conduct of engaging lessons while overseeing the needs of all that comes with boarding.

The PDHPE faculty welcomed the new academic year with very impressive news from the 2022 Higher School certificate (HSC), recording best ever results. An impressive tally of 68% of the cohort achieved Band 6 and 5 results, which saw us placed in the top 20 schools for the subject. Our mean score was an equally impressive 10.12 marks above the state average. The wisdom of the boys to choose, and maintain, subjects that they were interested in and enjoy was rewarded by over 66% of the boys having PDHPE among their top couple of their HSC subjects and also then using this as their main contributor to their

ATAR. Of note also was the improvement made by a majority of the boys across the course of their school assessment to their HSC exam result. This stemmed from a collective drive from the teachers and a determined effort from the boys right up to the last. Thanks go to Ms Kate Hilyard, Ms Giulia Baitieri and Ms Laura Bernasconi for the effort they put into conducting tutorials to assist students to maximise their learning potential.

PDHPE covers a wide range of topics and high amongst these in recent times is education to promote wellness in all its forms. Throughout 2022 the PDHPE faculty continued to produce rich and engaging lessons with a focus on assisting students in applying their knowledge through a variety of both theoretical and practical activities.

Mental wellness is an increasingly relevant topic to which significant time is given throughout the course. R U OK? Day is a special part of a significant health promotion on wellness. It encourages people to stay connected and have conversations that can help others through difficult times in their lives. A key part to harm prevention is encouraging people to invest more time in their personal relationships and building the capacity of informal support.

R U OK? Day on September 8 was the culmination of work in PDHPE classes across all years with the boys discussing how a conversation could change a life and how to start a conversation before creating their own conversation starters in ‘conversation clouds’ which were then displayed in and around the library. R U OK? also links directly with the current Year 10 unit “Head’s Up” which focuses on mental wellbeing.

The day started with the boys being provided with a conversation starter card that they were asked to keep in their pocket for the day. The intention was that the cards be used at the beginning of every lesson (where possible) during the day to allow time for conversation. At lunch amongst tables and drinks set to facilitate conversation there was Karaoke. The purpose was to use this as a way for boys to ask to sing, for others to listen and encourage – key themes of R U OK? The level of participation, support and interaction between boys of all ages during this was amazing and an awesome display of the way the message of connection with each other shone through.

The unit “What Makes Me Healthy?” in Year 7 covered a range of areas. In exploring the area of nutrition the boys were thoroughly engaged in the examination of various commonly consumed products and the sugar content in these. The students submitted impressive assessment tasks highlighting this. Their ability to investigate and apply their knowledge into coherent and compelling arguments to avoid, or at least think before consuming, many products was inspiring.

I would like to commend the efforts of the entire PDHPE staff for their commitment to preparation, teaching, assessment and reporting throughout the year. 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, cocurricular activities and the House system.

Religious Education

HEAD OF FACULTY:

MS ANTOINETTE YARAK

In a recent address to educators in Italy, Pope Francis proclaimed, “we transmit to others what we are inside. It is not enough to fill one’s head with ideas, that is not educating; to educate is to transmit life. To be a teacher is to live a mission.” If you ask me, it seems as though Pope Francis was imagining each of the Religious Education teachers here at Saint Ignatius’ College because the profound interiority of their own faith is what compels them to action in the classroom.

Living the mission of envisioning God alive in our world and inspiring a human response to the call of Jesus Christ has been at the heart of delivering our curriculum this year. Aligned to the Jesuit Universal Apostolic Preferences, particularly Caring for our Common Home, we have sought to create opportunities for theological exploration through enquiry and questioning, critical thinking, and reflection and discernment. Across all year groups and courses, we help plant the seeds which enable the transformation of ideas into living experience. Hopefully, a few examples of student evaluation from our juniors capture the fruits of our challenging yet joyful mission in Journeying With Youth and Showing the Way to God

“The Experiences of Prayer unit of work was fantastic; I learned a lot regarding the purpose of prayer, primarily in a Catholic setting… the formalised prayers we have become accustomed to are familiar, however, I believe prayer through reflection, such as the Examen, is often more beneficial at providing insight into our own minds.” Alexander Bradley

“Above all, my favourite topic was learning about the different types of prayer which help me connect with God further and allow me to express my emotions using a variety of different prayer styles to get the message across. The group multimedia assessment was a great way to connect religion with technology in a fun, collaborative and educational way.” Alexander Camilleri

“I learnt that spirituality involves the recognition of a feeling or sense or belief that there is something greater than myself.” Ethan Francis

In Year 7, students engaged in learning about the human impact on creation and human responsibility to, and for, creation. It reinforced the whole school focus on Caring for our Common Home and ‘Laudato Si’ week in Term 2. As a supplement, Year 8 students engaged in learning about the Beatitudes and the underpinning values of ethical attitudes and behaviours. The aim of deepening students’ ecological awareness permeated with the language of faith promotes an ecological conversion and the response to be more effective agents of renewal and healing in relationship to creation – the physical environment and the whole of humanity.

“To be a steward of God’s Creation means that we all have the right and responsibility to take care of our land and Country. Bunjil the Creator Spirit is and has always been venerated by my ancestors, the Waddawurrung people of the Kulin Nation. Bunjil created us to take of his land once he travelled to the dreaming. Similarly in the Christian faith, we are called to take care of God’s animals, people, and Earth, and we must do so, humbly.” Jed Mercer

This year saw the implementation of ‘The Men’s Project’ in our curriculum for Year 9 students. Incorporating the research of Jesuit Social Services, students engaged in exploring worldly perceptions about masculinity and learning how Gospel and Ignatian perspectives enable a more truthful response to becoming young men of conscience, compassion, competence, and commitment.

“I especially liked learning about the idea of an Ignatian graduate because it forces me to challenge the normalised and often negative societal views of what it means to be a man, and to develop more positive qualities that our faith espouses.” Charles Spiteri

“This was an interesting topic that raised questions about the importance of rites of passage for men, societal images and stereotypes of what masculinity is, and how Jesus can be our role model of counter-cultural masculinity.” Walter Yuille

As we look forward to another year, we express our deepest gratitude to Rebecca Marren for her years of valuable contribution to Religious Education. In 2023, she takes the role of teaching in the English Faculty.

Science

HEAD OF FACULTY:

MR MATTHEW BENTLEY

2022 saw the cautious reopening of Science field trips and excursions, much to the delight of both Science teachers and students, as over recent years we had been limited to the College campus and Tambourine Bay for our engagement with science and nature outside the classroom. Year 11 Biology led the way with a field trip to Bantry Bay to investigate biodiversity and practise the skills of Working Scientifically.

Science Week is always a big event at Riverview, and this year the week was themed “Glass, more than meets the eye”. Students from all year groups engaged in activities to reveal the properties of glass from lenses in telescopes to innovative building and construction materials. We also learned about First Nations people’s use of natural glass and other natural resources.

This year we graduated three students of Science Extension. The boys were expertly supervised by Mr Stuart through technically challenging investigations which included industrial chemistry, quantum computing and psychology. The new class of Riverview Science Extension students kicked off their

course in engagement with other schools in a Science Extension network. Students had the opportunity to share ideas and hear from expert guest speakers on careers in professional research, post graduate study and experimental design. As much as the subject is a HSC subject which rewards a pleasing contribution to a student’s ATAR, the true reward is the experience of the process. This course, like no other, gives students the opportunity to experience a truly academic investigation, and to communicate findings to a standard worthy of postgraduate research. We are very proud of the achievements of this class.

The graduating class of 2022 made us all proud of their achievements at the HSC with all subjects exceeding the state average for high achievement and significant gains being achieved across the whole cohort. Biology in particular achieved significantly pleasing results among the lower end of the cohort. This is the result of particular strategies employed to meet the needs of this group and the result is a credit to the Biology teaching team of Mr Bourne, Ms Logue and Mr Lee. Chemistry once again delivered a very strong result, it was pleasing to see the Chemistry number one ranked student and College Dux, Patrick Byrne, demonstrate the value of studying Science to support exemplary achievement at the very highest level. The Physics cohort enjoyed a very fair calculation based final examination which favoured our high achievers - resulting in nearly 20% of the cohort achieving Band 6. Overall, this is the 3rd best result for a Riverview cohort

in the modern HSC. It is worth noting that three of the four best Physics results ever have occurred in the last four years, eclipsed only by the class of 2003. Science at Riverview is benefiting from our new curriculum and the opportunities it offers our students to engage with Science in modern contexts while developing the fundamental skills which will support future success at University.

2023 will be a year of action for the Science Faculty. We plan to reinstate the external activities which make a Science education so rich and memorable, with visits to National Parks and reserves, ANSTO, UNSW Museum of Human Disease, and incursions to make the most of our amazing local natural environment.

In wrapping up such a successful and enjoyable year, it is appropriate to thank the dedicated staff of the Science Faculty. They are passionate educators and life long learners who model the very highest ideals of academia and the values of Ignatian service. Special mention goes to Ms Sequeira and Ms Flynn who, as Assistant Heads of Faculty, led with determination and skill, to support and improve our programs at every stage. It is a joy to work alongside them and share our passion with the students who come into our care.

Special Education Inclusion Program (SEIP)

HEAD OF FACULTY: MR TOBY MARTIN

2022 marks the 15th year of the Inclusion Program (SEIP) at Riverview and what better way to mark the occasion than a year without home schooling! For students whose academic curriculum is built around ‘doing’, it was great to be out accessing the community and developing key life and social skills once again. In 2022, this took many forms, but highlights remain class excursions, camps, and any opportunity to get outside the four walls of a classroom.

Fundraising remains a pivotal part of the Inclusion Program and through our ongoing commitment to the Loreto Sisters and the establishment of schools in the brickfields of West Bengal we teach the students about being ‘men for and with others’. Through the sale of Christmas Cards, a class walkathon and the weekly Blue and White Café, we were able to raise $10,300, eclipsing our target of $3000.

Of equal importance is acknowledging students whose efforts have been noticed by staff this year. This is always a challenging job, however special congratulations to the following students:

⁄ Ace Thomas – Inclusion Program Award for Strength of Character

⁄ William Griffiths – Inclusion Program Award for Application to Studies

⁄ Ellis Hazelton – Inclusion Program Student of the Year.

In 2022 we farewelled two students who have undertaken two very different but equally challenging journeys. Jerome Nearhos has been the epitome of inclusion in his six years at the College, and it is hard to believe that the man who graduated in September was the same student who began in 2017. Jerome has involved himself in every aspect of College life and his commitment to the athletics and cross-country programs through the years was rewarded with several representative

honours. Angus Holmes faced a very different, but no less difficult, challenge. Angus is the eldest of four brothers and the first to leave the family farm in Central NSW to the bright lights and boarding routine of Sydney. This was not an easy undertaking but the respect and admiration he had from his peers and teachers alike was blindingly evident. Both students will be incredibly missed but leave the College a better place for having been part of the student community.

Each year I dedicate a paragraph of thanks to the staff of the Inclusion Program: Greg Jones, Kerry Dean, Kathleen Hunt, Kim Prodinger, Lisa Ming, Jackie Mead, and Jeannine Dal Maso. Just as St Michael’s is the physical embodiment of the heart of Riverview, so too are the staff who work within its walls whose work extends far beyond the academic and pastoral support of the students in the Program. This year alone staff attended three year 12 retreats, three Country Placements, the Year 9 PLC residential program and four Bush Weeks – a total of 45 nights away from families in support of students of the College. In addition, staff were involved in 35 excursions, ran two summer sporting programs, acted as mentors, did wardrobe for College productions, and worked in boarding houses. They are one of the most committed groups of staff in the College, and I would like to thank them all.

Frequently I am asked to visit various schools to ask how we run the Inclusion Program as we do, and my answer is always the same: to be a truly inclusive educational environment takes understanding and support from the entire community of students and families, to staff,

Executive and the College Board. Inclusion and diversity is as foundational in our College as the sandstone in Arrupe building and the willingness to continually prove our practice is cause to look forward to another great year in 2023.

Technological and Applied Studies

HEAD OF FACULTY:

MR PETER MCMILLAN

Our first full academic year post-COVID was noted and enjoyed by both students and staff. All practical projects were attended to in their entirety and most importantly, the Design and Technology and the Industrial Technologytimber and furniture major works were able to be finished on time and to perfection. The students displayed excellent work ethic and dedication toward their projects with limited to no interruption - something which we have not experienced in the last two calendar years. To put that into perspective, our Year 9 students just completed their first full year at Riverview, uninterrupted.

Matthew Butler and James Caspers must be publicly congratulated as their timber major works were nominated as exceptional pieces of work and their pieces were displayed in both the ‘Ind Tech’ and ‘Shape’ Exhibitions. Only projects which display the highest degree of difficulty and quality of craftsmanship receive invitations for display. Matthew designed and constructed a circular coffee table with a segmented border highlighting the central grain flow parquetry top - all sitting on four steam bent curved laminated semi-circles creating a central leg. Only a fully qualified and experienced tradesman would attempt to build such a highly demanding exquisite piece of furniture. James designed and created a large sideboard for his family home. The sideboard displayed statement inlays on the top, glass cabinet doors framed with detailed edge treated jarrah frames. This is a unique design which is now instantly a priceless family heirloom in the Caspers family home. Both James and Matthew should be proud of their personal achievements. The major work classes of 2022 were taught by Mr Gerard Carson and Mr Joshuah Morris who dedicated many hours of their personal time on weekends and after hours in assisting the major work students.

The Design and Technology major works of 2022 saw some truly innovative projects. Sam Ashby designed and created a bike stand which will save space and allow the operator

TECHNOLOGICAL AND APPLIED STUDIES

to work on the bike as well. Josh Marriott designed and created a pull-down shelving system to assist people who suffer from arthritis. Nathan Valerio focused on recycling plastic to create café furniture. Elijah Suckling designed and manufactured a modular workbench and storage system. Micah Nassif designed and created a statement chair resembling an ‘egg’ to maximise relaxation, and Oliver McLachlan truly showed off his architecture skills and designed the next generation in stylish eco-friendly homes. Our future world is looking very bright with these young designers emerging.

The Agriculture and Engineering Year 9 Challenge Day was also enjoyed once more in the absence of COVID. Year 9 students took some time to enjoy the outdoors, get some exercise and learn about Australia’s first farm at Farm Cove, more commonly known today as The Botanical Gardens. Then they walked over the Sydney Harbour Bridge noticing the principles of design, considering form versus function and absorbing engineering concepts and facts. The day ended at Luna Park, where again students had the chance to study and experience engineering concepts and principles through riding fun park rides. It is always a good day shared by all.

The faculty acquired a new CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) Routing Machine this year. The machine cuts using a downward facing milling bit, controlled through a pre-programmed robotic cutting route. This machine is extremely accurate and cuts with super precision and speed. Our Year 11 Design and Technology students created some outthere pieces of furniture through the ‘Flat-toFunction’ unit.

The faculty is continually growing and in 2023, we hope to welcome a new staff member, and a new subject VET Construction will be delivered for the first time at Riverview. VET Construction provides students with a dual qualification, one that firstly contributes to their High School Certificate and secondly to any TAFE certificate associated with a trade.

Visual Arts

HEAD OF FACULTY: MS JULIE STEVENS

The year 2022 in Visual Arts marked a major return to normality after two years of interrupted classes and online learning. The students were again engaged in materials and worked across a range of mediums including drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and ceramics for an entire year. They investigated spiritual, cultural, personal and conceptual concerns through research in art making and art writing. Their work was again hung on the walls of the Art Department, and we had an HSC Body of Work Showcase Exhibition for our Year 12 candidates that was a grand success. It had been two years without this wonderful showcase for our HSC students.

There is a feeling in the Visual Arts arena, here at the College, that we are back on track with art making, art writing, exhibiting, and visiting wonderful museums and galleries to see fabulous art. There is a renewed sense that the Visual Arts are special as they allow for a personal, intellectual, and inspirational examination of the world that offers fresh perspectives. In the Ignatian spirit, we work with our students to connect heads and hearts and to reflect on the process and meaning in our actions.

The students in Year 7 were engaged in drawing related to their school environment and painting their favourite landscape. In Year

8 the students were involved in making clay masks and the intense process of lino carving and printing a “Waterview” based on the local environment—the Lane Cove River.

In Year 9 the students studied portraiture in Semester 1. In Semester 2, the Year 9 students studied drawing and sculpting the human form. In Year 10, our students studied printmaking of the Romantic and Renaissance periods. In Semester 2, they painted Impressionist and Post-Impressionist style landscapes and drew large expressive charcoal drawings that referenced the practice of the Australian artist, Brett Whiteley.

In Year 11, the students moved further into a more philosophical way of working—both in making and writing about art. The concept of modernity, current artmaking practice and global concerns were all examined in depth. The students were given a strong foundation to build on in their Year 12 HSC course.

In Year 12, the students were a very engaged, cohesive and motivated group. These students worked with determination and focus to complete a Body of Work and prepare for the HSC written examination. Their work examined and addressed concerns related to a fluid, changing and complex world. This was best seen in their Bodies of Work that gave personal voice to a range of issues including identity, memory and time, related to COVID and climate change.

Highlights of the Year

In late March, the Year 11 students participated in an excursion to see the “An Gorta Mor”, a public installation artwork at the Hyde Park Barracks, as well as “Artexpress” at the Art

Gallery of New South Wales. This was the first excursion in almost two years for Visual Arts students.

In early August, the 2022 HSC Bodies of Work Exhibition was held in the newly renovated Year 12 Studio and Visual Arts Gallery space. At this Exhibition our Year 12 students showcased their outstanding HSC artworks.

In October, the highlight of the Year 10 course was an excursion to the Art Gallery of New South Wales to see examples of Modern Art and then on to Brett Whiteley’s studio in Surry Hills to get a direct experience of an artist’s working studio.

In early December, we were notified that one of our HSC students, Oliver McLachlan, had been selected for Artexpress for 2023—a great success for the Visual Arts program and the College.

Photographic and Digital Media

MS JUSTINE GESTERKAMP AND MS EMMA DESIRA

Throughout history, anthropologists have explored the evolution of mankind’s movement from an oral-based culture to a written culture. However, it is only in the past few decades that we have begun to assimilate the effects of the move towards a culture based largely on images. We love images and we love the democratising power of technologies that create imagery. Digital cameras, phones, and Photoshop give us the capability to make and manipulate images with ease. We produce, edit and share imagery at an unprecedented rate yet we are less eager to consider the broader cultural effects of a society devoted to the image. Successful photographic and video imagery captures and sustains an audience’s attention. In our increasingly visual world, the responsibility of constructing and consuming media content cannot be underestimated.

Our students’ generation of learners are immersed in an image-saturated existence where they create and digest countless images each day. Equipping students with the tools required to analyse and critique imagery affords them the chance to see the ways in which imagery and the media pervades and influences our lives. One of the most exciting things is that the photography, video and digital media landscape is constantly changing and evolving, and there are so many different ways to create imagery. This is truly a contemporary subject relevant to our students’ lives. In the Riverview media department, we develop our students’ creative skills and confidence to produce engaging photographic and video imagery that captures and sustains audiences by evoking questions about the world we live in.

Photographic and Digital Media was offered at the College as an elective in Stage 5 in 2022. The course provided students with an introduction to photography and film practice and an opportunity to develop skills in making media works. Year 9 Media students were immersed in the foundations of what makes a good image. An understanding of the

camera and its functions equipped students to be able to utilise the College equipment to create an array of different imagery. Concept, composition, and lighting created the basis for exploring creative and innovative photo shoots. Foundational editing techniques and visual effects developed a solid skill set for further development in image production. Students created Instagram accounts and posted weekly evidence of their explorations and investigations on location and in the studio.

Video production techniques and editing transferred students’ knowledge from the still image into the moving. Industry visits to SAE Creative Institute and Animal Logic gave students the opportunity to experience the latest advancements in emerging technologies in the field. Year 10s developed their photographic style in a photojournalism series and studied the work of The World Press Photographers to investigate the social role of photography and the ethical responsibility of photojournalists. Students got an insight into professional practice in the creation of a feature film trailer and EPK marketing with posters and behind the scenes interviews. A full day filming on location gave students the opportunity to experience a day in the life of a filmmaker as a part of their production challenge. Student portfolios compiled and presented the extensive research and planning phases in pre-production along with reflective evaluations of the process and the works produced.

The Photography, Video and Digital Imaging course extended the creative process to Stage 6 where students engaged with a range of new technologies whilst reflecting on current media productions and their messages. Year 11 students produced their own title sequence and explored how to engage the audience by establishing a set tone in their productions. Year 12 students paid homage to Alfred Hitchcock through works that employed psychological suspense to manipulate audiences. We returned to Cockatoo Island to film with industry professionals and a group of Riverview old boys who supported the students’ learning and extended their production experience and knowledge on how to direct their own production.

The variety of technical and creative challenges we offer our students throughout the Riverview media courses extends students’ creativity and passion in photography and media production. When students complete the courses, they are well

equipped to be able to independently produce their own work with a wealth of experiences and knowledge of what it takes to be involved in this industry.

The 2022 ‘Media Show’ exhibition of student work was hosted online and presented each student’s portfolio of work. A diverse range of outstanding photography and video work showcased the talents of our Riverview media students. The exhibition provided a platform for students to screen their work to the College community. We acknowledge and congratulate all exhibiting students who created such a wonderful digital show.

As educators at a Jesuit school, we are compelled (and, as I have witnessed, deeply desire) to accompany our students through all their endeavours at Riverview, to reach the ‘ultimate horizon’ of forming graduates of human excellence. The House System serves as a wonderful structure to work within for this purpose.

2022 presented many new challenges and achievements for Campion House in this

pursuit. Our 2022 unofficial motto, chosen by our Year 12s, was “He’s Not Heavy, He’s My Brother”. The Campion seniors modelled this “brotherhood” in such a way that deepened the bonds of all members of Campion House – students, staff and families. No member of our community was too difficult, too hopeless, too “heavy” for the rest of us to carry this year.

In Campion we edged even more closely to a return to pre-COVID “normal” through our many House and Mentor Group meetings, Inter-House competitions, reflection days, Campion Kebabs fundraiser, Jesuit Bazaar, and the general hustle and bustle of the Campion Office and House Area. Our annual fundraiser, Campion Kebabs, raised an extraordinary $1500 for the Riverview Bursary, and our boys’ efforts at the Jesuit Bazaar saw us contribute more than $1600 for Jesuit Mission. We might be forgiven for nearly forgetting the pandemic ever existed!

The community highlight of our year was, undoubtedly, our significant 40th Annual House Mass celebration. With a gathering of more than 350 members of our community, we came together in the Ramsay Hall for Mass, celebrated by Fr Tom Renshaw SJ, followed by a very special supper. Our Guest of Honour, Mr Mel Morrow (inaugural Housemaster, 1983 to 2006) was joined on stage by James Rodgers for a very special “Oscillations” event. These two stalwarts of Campion House reflected on the early days of our House, its identity and mission, its growth, its members, and quite authentically

their shared love and hopes for our community. The extraordinary success of the celebration was only possible due to the army of parents who volunteered and gave so generously. I am still inspired and in awe. Working bees, planning meetings, setting/ packing up, organisation, and so much more took place over countless hours to ensure the event was as special as it was. Our 40th Annual House Mass and Supper was momentous and historic.

As the year went on, we reached our seniors’ graduation. Our Valete House Meeting was, once again, a bittersweet event. Each Mentor spoke about his/her respective graduates, sharing memories and reflections on their boys over the years, and the annual Valete Video Presentation captured in photos and video just how much our young men had grown in their four to eight years in Campion House. Our graduating cohort led us to the end with great dignity and pride (and just the right amount of cheekiness). We were especially proud of our own Charlie Henry who was deservedly awarded the Insignis Medal, given to only one student at the College each year.

As 2022 comes to a close, I reiterate and add to my words from my House Mass Address: It is my greatest privilege to be the Campion Head of House, only its third in 40 years, and following in the footsteps of the titan Mel Morrow. My gratitude to each of you – the parents and families, staff and, especially, boys – for the support you show our House and Riverview, is immeasurable. 2022 has

We welcomed 14 new students to the House at the beginning of 2022, 13 of whom were in Year 7. It didn’t take long for the newest members of our community to be made to feel at home, with a range of House meetings organised by our student leaders ensuring that strong bonds were formed across every year group.

Once again, we ran our annual Cheshire Pancakes fundraiser on Shrove Tuesday. Each family produced a batch of pancakes to be sold

on the day and together we managed to raise a considerable amount of money to donate to the Ryder-Cheshire Foundation. This money went directly to Ryder-Cheshire homes in India and Timor-Leste, providing muchneeded support for the relief of suffering.

In May, we came together as a House community to celebrate mass, share supper and rejoice in the many gifts of our students in the House. Each mentor group contributed a prayer of the faithful and together with their parents we offered a special blessing to each of our Year 12 students as they continued with their HSC studies. It is always so special to witness the display of solidarity on nights such as this, and even better to boast the presence and support of many of our boarding families after two difficult and distant years.

The newest members of the community enjoyed their time away on Year 7 Camp, forging strong bonds that will continue to develop in the years to come. The time away was crucial in allowing this group of young men some insights into each other’s stories and context as well as encouraging them to seek to live out the ethos of the House; to act with integrity and humility, whilst always giving of themselves to others.

On Saint Ignatius’ Day each of our mentor groups came together, in partnership with Teresa House, and made origami birds and then shared a meal. The afternoon saw all Houses come together to participate in the One Foot Raised Walk, a fundraising initiative of Jesuit Mission. Our House motto, To Give

is to Grow, was evident in the range of service opportunities boys in all year groups took part in throughout the year. I’m proud of the way the Cheshire men viewed service, not as an obligation but as a privilege, and a chance to enrich the lives of those on the margins.

I would like to thank our House Captain, Jullien Caillol, and Vice Captains, Jack Bannerman and Marcus Criola, for the way in which they led the House in 2022. At all times they were a model of consistency, encouraging every student to get involved and exhibit a healthy House spirit. Indeed, each of our Year 12 students has led a culture of respect and camaraderie, both in mentor groups and in wider House and College events. This group of young men will be a valuable addition to the working world, with their capacity to lead a culture of change, and being burdened with the obligation to serve those in need as they look to head down their respective life paths.

One of the strengths of Cheshire House is the remarkable team of mentors the boys are lucky to have caring for them each day. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Mr Gregg Bryant, Ms Giulia Baitieri, Ms Louise Arnott, Mr Peter Colledge, Ms Valentina Raguz, Mrs Toranz Wildie-McDaid, and Ms Jennifer Pocknall for all they did for Cheshire House in 2022. Each has ensured that the wellbeing of every student remains paramount and provides a safe space for students of all ages to thrive. I would like to extend my thanks to Ms Alice Ossowski who was acting Head of House in Term 3, whilst I was acting as Dean of Students. Thanks are also extended to Ms

I was again very tempted to start this year’s Alma report with the exact same paragraph as the previous two years. For those who are actually reading this year’s Alma Report, perhaps I have tempted you to go back and read the 2020 and 2021 Chisholm House report?

Well, 2022, what a year for Chisholm and indeed for many! To complete a whole school

year without the need to head to online learning meant that for many of our students this was the first full on-campus academic year. For our Year 9 cohort it was the first full, complete academic year in high school.

There were many other firsts in many ways. Our Year 10s completing the Year 9 Bush week element that they missed out on last year in 2022; a wet and very soggy week it was but all credit to the guys and of course to Ms Rhian Lovell for trekking and paddling through what I guess it was meant to be - a challenge! A first also for Chisholm where we won for the first time the Inter-House Competition with victories in Basketball, Chess, and Table Tennis. Thank you to our tireless leaders in 2022 who drove the House forward ensuring success in 2022, Liam Dinnell, Archie Ekert and Joshua Goodrich, though they were unable to receive the Inter-House Shield at a College assembly (the less said here the better).

The highlight for me this year was witnessing the inclusion of our two young men who are part of the Inclusion Program here at Riverview: William Dynan (Year 10) and Jacob Bradshaw (Year 7). Our Year 10 cohort had William helping to run the Year 10 House relay at this year’s House Athletics carnival. For Jacob, it was his involvement in the Year 7 House relay at this year’s House Swimming carnival. To see the smiles on their faces was quite simply priceless.

It was also great to see the return of the Jesuit Bazaar (formerly known as the Indian Bazaar), which meant that Chisholm and Southwell Houses were able to return to our House activity for the day of car washing. This year saw us relocate to the Regis Campus. It was a fantastic day where each Mentor Group, led by our illustrious Mentors, managed to get very dishpan hands while contributing over $3000.00 to the taking for the day. An outstanding effort and whilst we did have to show yet again many of our young men how to actually wash a car, it was a wonderful Saturday event.

Our wonderful Mentors, Ms Julie Stevens, Mr Michael Roffey, Mr Peter McMillan, Dr Paul Hine, Mrs Nicola Matthews, Mrs Patricia Papa, Ms Emma Desira were joined in 2022 by Mr Graeme Hubbard and kept the House on track. This group of dedicated people, along with Ms Rhian Lovell, the Chisholm Assistant Head of House, are the real heroes of the House. It is they who ensure that the boys receive the utmost care and support throughout the year when they meet with their Mentor Groups every day. Chisholm is very blessed to have such wonderful role models for the young men of the House.

As this year draws to a close and we get ready to plan for 2023, our incoming leaders, Oliver Galvin, Toby Drew and Gabriel Turner, will be able to build on this very successful and enjoyable year for Chisholm House.

Take care and stay safe!

Claver House staff and students enjoyed a year that, very thankfully, was a lot more normal than we had experienced recently. With activities around the College returning, the boys enjoyed Inter-House Competitions, House activities, Carnivals and generally spending time together.

The House leaders were, as always, very involved and supportive and I thank Henry Madigan, Jack Grattan and Juach Juach for

their support to the Claver staff and students. To all the Year 12 students who graduated this year, thank you for your resilience and the example you showed to the younger boys.

We again did well in the inter-House activities but did not take out any places this year. We do have some rising stars in table tennis, chess and cricket, so future years look promising. The boys enjoyed House meetings with silent auctions, trivia quizzes, scavenger hunts and barbecues being always the most popular.

Other popular activities included the Athletics Carnival and the Swimming Carnival that were enjoyed right here at the Lane Cove Aquatic Centre. We had a few very strong swimmers and lots of participation which saw us rank 6th overall, a personal best for Claver House.

The House Merit Competition was well supported, and a number of groups were lucky enough to win a food hamper to share on “Food Day.” This has proved a great incentive to the boys to do their best in class and aim for merits that add up over the term for the final award.

A new initiative has been the Merit wheel with one name drawn each Mini House from the boys who have achieved merits in the preceding week. The winner has a chance at a basketball hoop throw and skills seem to be improving as we have had three boys hit the mark already, much to the delight of their peers.

As always, the Mentors in Claver House guided and supported the boys in so many ways. Thank you to Mr Chris Bishara, Mr Joshua Conlan, Mr Russell Kam, Mrs Deb Melrose, Mr Sean Hewes, Ms Fang Qian, Ms Sinéad Zille and Mrs Christine Zimbulis.

Thank you also to our Assistant Head of House Mr Jeff Myles who supported the Year 7 boys in their first year at the Senior School as well as taking the Year 10 and Year 9 boys on their Bush experience this year. The boys are fortunate to have his guidance as well as being the beneficiaries of his initiative in running the Mentor Merit Competitions.

2022 saw the boys head off on the Year 7 Camp as well as Country Placements for the Year 10 students and Immersion experiences for our seniors. After two years we were finally able to hold our House Mass and Supper and it was wonderful to see everyone come together and to present the senior students with their Claver House candles. This year we ran the Erg Challenge on the rowing machines for the Jesuit Mission Bazaar and the boys stepped up to raise much needed funds. The Year 12 Valete assemblies were also a great celebration of our senior boys and we were able to have families in person to share this day. Congratulations to Ash Bowie on receiving the Nicholas Wardell Memorial Prize.

Other outstanding achievements this year included our House Captain Henry Madigan being awarded the Archbishop’s Award for Student Excellence. This award recognises

It was truly a blessing to start the year knowing that we would be getting back to some sort of normalcy after the disruptions of the previous two years. From the very start of the year, the young men of Dalton displayed a keenness and enthusiasm to immerse themselves in all the life and community that Riverview offers. It was so pleasing to see the many happy faces and richness of conversations at the start of

the year, which continued throughout 2022. The early foundations that were laid enabled a great year in Dalton. The House was also fortunate to have Mr Rhys Williams appointed as Assistant Head of House for the year.

In the role of Head of House, there are plenty of ups and downs throughout the course of the school year, however one of the constants is morning registration. In this precious time, a great deal of bonding is done between the staff and the students in Dalton. This year Mr Williams and I thoroughly enjoyed our morning conversations with the boys about all aspects of their lives. Holidays, weekends, assessments, co-curricula, and families are all discussed, and the greater openness of these conversations was greatly appreciated by Mr Williams and I. Liam Randell’s ever-happy approach and helpfulness, as well as Harrison Burns’ constant smile and manners, were two of many highlights that we will remember for a long time. Great ties are forged during this time.

There were many highlights during the year for Dalton in 2022. The Year 7 camp, led by Mr Williams, demonstrated what an impressive group of young men Dalton have, who will lead the House forward in tremendous fashion. We could not be more impressed by the way they have started their time at Riverview.

The House Mass and Supper was a well attended and memorable night thanks to the fantastic design of Memorial Hall

by Ange Bredenhann and Jen Wright, the transformation of the Hall was absolutely stunning and due to this, led to an atmosphere that generated some great conversations.

The boys participated in all the House activities with great enthusiasm, and we recorded some very good results. The Athletics Carnival was looking good after the first point score, however, not for lack of trying, we finished in the bottom half of the field. In Inter-House touch football, cricket and basketball, we were not humiliated and gave our all but unfortunately came up short. However, it was in the pool that Dalton proved our worth. Some great talent was unearthed in the form of Thomas Martin, Ethan and Sidney Au-Yeung, while the seniors led by example, particularly Romeo Atra. The rest of the boys followed in their footsteps, and we finished third, a huge result for Dalton (I don’t recall us ever finishing higher in any carnival) and the boys enjoyed the spoils of their efforts with a well-deserved pizza lunch.

The proudest moments this year were not on the sporting fields but in the service of others. As befitting a Jesuit school, the boys and their families contributed greatly to the work of the Society of Jesus and assisting the less fortunate. It was recorded that Dalton House donated the most to the One Foot Raised Walkathon and all the boys expressed their generosity to support the Life for Koori Kids Christmas present drive and the Dalton stall at the Jesuit Mission Bazaar. Much gratitude was displayed in these events.

Bella,

Gacitua,

This year Dalton was extremely fortunate to be led by a great group of Year 12s. The whole senior year contributed to the House, however the House leadership team of Michael, Tristan and Rocco displayed all the qualities of Ignatian leadership and should be very proud of their efforts. I was greatly appreciative of their initiative and the example they set for the House. Further leadership and companionship was also provided by the truly tremendous team of Mentors we have in Dalton. The way our Dalton Mentors care for the students in their mentor group is inspiring to see on a day to day level. I thank them deeply for all that they do.

Personally, 2022 was a year that I look back on in pride. I loved leading the House and all the challenges it threw at me. As much as I would have been thrilled to continue in the role, I know that I leave Dalton in a better place having been Head of House. I would like to thank Mr Rhys Williams for all his support, advice, and mateship this year. I will remember our time together in Dalton very fondly.

As the Fernando Head of House for the fourth year now, it has been an honour and privilege to witness our young Fernando men strive to achieve their potential in all facets of College life. With activities around the College returning in full swing, the boys enjoyed InterHouse competitions, House activities and Carnivals, and spending time together.

One of the highlights of 2022 was the Swimming Carnival that was enjoyed at the Lane Cove Aquatic Centre. We had an incredibly strong swim team, high participation, and banded spirit on the day which saw Fernando House achieve first place and win the House Swimming Carnival, a personal best for Fernando House. Huge congratulations to all who participated on the day, most notably to our undefeated Year 11 Relay team of Loic Walford, Luka Milozzi, Harrison Loiterton and Gus Gyllenhammer.

Our annual House Mass and Supper was held in May with Fr Tom Renshaw SJ celebrating Mass with our Fernando families and our Year 12 students and Mentors were presented with their House candles. It is always a warm feeling to have our Fernando families together to share this special occasion and supper after the mass.

The newest members of our Fernando community enjoyed their time away on Year 7 Camp, forging strong bonds which will continue to develop in years to come. They participated in a range of outdoor activities such as kayaking, archery and team-building challenges. 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: knowing where their heart is whilst always giving of themselves in the service of others.

Our Year 10 students completed the Year 9 Bush week element that they missed out on last year in 2021. A wet and very soggy week

it was but all credit to the young men and of course to Ms Kim Romeo for trekking an extra four hours in the dark and cold weather. Year 9 also had the opportunity to participate in three weeks of their own Challenge activities, including The Urban Challenge, Indigenous Cultural Day and Take 3 for the Sea. The Year 9s were fortunate to have been accompanied on their Bush Week by Ms Alanna Elliott, and spent four days bonding as a cohort as they hiked, rode and canoed through Glenworth Valley.

Another highlight of the year was the return of the Jesuit Mission Bazaar (formerly known as the Indian Bazaar) and this meant that Fernando House was able to return to our House activity of hosting the Lucky Dip stall where we contributed over $1000 to the donations for the day.

The Ignatian Service program asks our young men to engage in deeds that serve the hearts, minds, and mouths of the marginalised. Through contributions to 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 and with others is loud and clear. With this in mind, in 2022 we asked the students of Years 7, 8 and 9 to focus on experiences of being “for others” (helping those in need), while students in Years 10 and 11 were challenged to find ways of being “with others” (directly engaging faceto-face with the marginalised).

In this spirit we were fortunate to have three engaging House Captains in Thomas Knox, Raphael Giles and Jack Treacy serving

Fernando this year. These young men were steadfast in their intent to build a more connected House, one where every member feels he has a voice. These leaders, along with their Year 12 cohort, led with great enthusiasm and asserted themselves in the most humble of ways. 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 adversity.

Jesuit education emphasises the care and concern of the individual, which we have come to know as ‘cura personalis’ in Latin. This ethos was reinforced by our Fernando pastoral team who make a huge contribution to the House and Mentor Groups, and for this,

I am most grateful. I wish to acknowledge Ms Kimberley Romeo for her support this year in her role as the Assistant Head of Fernando House and the extra care she gives to our Year 7 students in their transition to high school. The Fernando Mentors make my role easier and I extend my sincerest gratitude to Ms Peta Bird, Mr Patrick Lowe, Ms Kate Hilyard, Mr Michael Dela Cruz, Ms Luciana Murphy, and joining us this year, Ms Kerrie Lane, Ms Alanna Elliott, Mrs Eugenie Houghton, Mr George Cassar, and Ms Maggie Allen (Associate) for their contributions to the House this year. We thank and farewell Mr Matthew Parsons from Fernando House, and we farewell Ms Luciana Murphy, who leaves our state to move to the nation’s capital to take up a position at Canberra Grammar School,

joining Ms Amy Lester in the English faculty, and we wish her every success.

Looking to 2023, Fernando House will see some change - our new student leadership team of Harrison Loiterton (Captain), Luka Milozzi, and Miles O’Grady (ViceCaptains) will bring with them fresh ideas and enthusiasm. Moreover, the House will remain constant in prioritising the development of men of compassion, conscience, commitment, and competence. That is, we will continue to seek to develop men who know where their heart is.

Assistant Head of House: Ms Cassie Crompton

Mentors: Ms Vanessa Blake, Ms Nikki Brown, Mr Conrad Page, Mr Chris Baxter, Mr Paul Collins, and Mr Stuart McRae

House Captain: Max Ghiazza

House Vice-Captain: Henry Franklin House Vice-Captain: William Jewell

After two challenging years with many Covid restrictions in place which prevented celebrations and meeting together, 2022 started with much anticipation and hope for a semi-normal school year. Our Gonzaga leadership team of Henry Franklin, William Jewell and Max Ghiazza, together with Ms Crompton welcomed our newest members of Gonzaga House in Year 7. Our Year 7 boys

then enjoyed their first camp together, a great opportunity for them to get to know each other and the rest of the Year 7 cohort. They enjoyed several activities including high ropes, abseiling, archery, canoeing and rock climbing. A massive thanks to Ms Crompton who guided our Year 7 boys over their time at camp. It was a thoroughly enjoyed time away with peers and teachers.

Term 1 also included our Year 11 reflection day, a day that afforded our boys the opportunity to pause and reflect on their high school journey so far, as well as a time to reflect on the opportunities that lay ahead for our Year 11 boys as they near the end of their school life. Our Year 12 students also were able to take part in their choice of retreat at the end of the term, I know this was a richly rewarding experience for the boys. Both our Year 9 and Year 10 students were also able to go on ‘Bush Week’ this year, for the first time in two years. The boys were able to challenge themselves through the different activities of hiking, mountain biking and canoeing, I would like to thank Ms Blake for accompanying the boys on this experience.

For the first time in two years we were also able to compete for the Gonzaga House Cup. Through the strong leadership of Max Ghiazza the boys enjoyed many House meetings engaging in trivia, Mario Kart, amazing race, soccer, ultimate frisbee and Just Dance matches on the Nintendo Switch. I would like to congratulate Ms Blake’s and Mr Page’s

Mentor groups for being joint winners for 2023.

Several achievements were made by our students both academically and in the sporting arena across this year. With an attitude of “seeking higher things”, our boys were reminded and encouraged to stay motivated, set goals and work towards them all whilst inspired by the example of our patron Saint Aloysius who lived a life of serving others and seeking higher things. From involvement in Sport, to music and drama, the young men of Gonzaga House participated in all facets of College life which is reflected in the substantial number of cocurricular awards and our representation in all areas of College life.

I would like to extend my thanks and gratitude to all of our Mentors, Ms Blake, Ms Brown, Mr Page, Mr Baxter, Mr Collins and Mr McRae, for their leadership across this year as well as their contribution to all aspects of the house life. They inspired, connected with, and cared for all Gonzaga boys with humility and grace. Sadly, at the end of this year we say farewell to Mr McRae and Mr Baxter, I would like to especially acknowledge the selfless service Mr Baxter has given to the boys of Gonzaga House for over 16 years. Lastly, I would like to thank Ms Crompton and Ms Mouait, for their unwavering commitment to the pastoral care of the students across the year.

MacKillop House

Head of House: Mr Tim Lee

Assistant Head of House: Mrs Jane Rorke/ Mrs Elin Michelsons

Mentors: Mr Mark Anderson, Ms Marilyn Fitzgerald, Mr Nicholas Heydon, Mr Daniel Hyde, Ms Sandra Kelly, and Mr Aaron Speed-Johnson House Captain: Patrick Byrne House Vice-Captain: Miles McKeon House Vice-Captain: Lachlann O’Callaghan

There was a strange familiarity about 2022 as we saw a return to a full school year without lockdowns. The end of the year in particular was exhausting as we were unaccustomed to a full four terms at the College.

We welcomed a new crop into our MacKillop community as the Year 7s have brought a lot

of energy to the place, along with their own unique personalities. Welcome to Jimmy, Emilio, Ryan, Will, Iggy, Alex, Henrik, Luca, Josh, Josh, Charlie, Charlie, Xavier and Xavier. We were also fortunate to have Gabriel join us in Year 8.

The pastoral care that Mrs Rorke as Assistant Head of House has always shown was recognised by the College in her promotion to temporarily lead Smith House for the end of Term 3 and Term 4. MacKillop were fortunate enough to have Mrs Michelsons join us, who despite not being Mrs Rorke, really made the House Area fun to be around (even if she was originally in Ricci).

Our Year 12s were more fortunate than previous years in having a reasonably uninterrupted calendar. It was a bumpy ride for a few but we are proud of them all for how far they have come. We farewelled them in Term 3 ,and whilst some have younger siblings either at the College or still to join us, some families ended their journey with MacKillop. I would like to thank the Bakers, Edgecombes, Heffernans, Howes, Leachs, Lius, Marriotts and Millers for their support over the years.

2022 was finally the year that we see the return of the annual Swimming and Athletics Carnival. Again, there was a promise of a pizza lunch as a reward for the three-peat. MacKillop had never won an Athletics Carnival until 2018, their first in their history. This was followed by another triumph in 2019.

COVID had robbed us of the chance to do this in 2020 and 2021. 2022 would see MacKillop once again etch their name on the College trophy… well, once the real trophy is found. We were actually presented with the Cross Country trophy at the Co-curricular assembly. The archives will show that MacKillop has won the Athletics from 2018-2022, a whole five years!

The Swimming carnival is now the trophy that has long eluded us. A 4th place finish in 2022 really didn’t reflect the talent we have but rather on some lower placings in the novelty events. Some strong performances by people such as the Thompsons, Lees, Kennedy, Forshaw and Korowe, were ably supported by boys who wanted to give it their best shot. In fact the spirit shown on this day was epitomised for me by the efforts of Josh McConkey. Not only did he put his hand up to swim the butterfly, and despite other Year 7s doing freestyle, he never gave up and did his best.

Our Year 12 leaders had a real presence around our House and we were fortunate that they had the opportunity to lead in a more traditional way. Both Loch and Miles provided continuous support for Pat as Captain. There was a real focus on getting maximum engagement from everyone and this helped to allow everyone the opportunity to feel included. Sometimes this wasn’t appreciated, like when the whole House was asked to plank in solidarity for Planktober. As Head of House

I am also grateful for how much fun and enjoyment the leaders brought to registration in the morning. Our newly elected leaders of Luca, James and Zac have a great platform to start from.

Our House Mass theme of living with hope is one that I believe will resonate with our MacKillop family as we enter into this new postCOVID world. I thank the students, families and mentors for another great year.

More House

Head of House: Mr Dane Inman

Assistant Head of House: Ms Alice Ossowski / Ms Tessa Nelmes (T4)

Mentors: Mr Rex Cook, Ms Sarah Cullen, Mr Hendrix Kutukoff, Mr Christopher Wright, Mr George Sacco, Mr Matthew Bentley, and Mr Adam White House Captain: William Perkins House Vice-Captain: Thomas Dredge House Vice-Captain: Joshua Morahan

More House was ably led by an inspiring group of Year 12 men in 2022. All our graduating seniors were excellent role models for the younger boys, and the Year 12 More men demonstrated an authentic interest and care for the boys in junior years considering the difficulties and uncertainty that post-COVID brought us in 2022. The Captains of the House, William Perkins, Thomas Dredge, and Joshua

Morahan, ensured that all our young men were made to feel part of the More House family. They are to be commended on the guidance of the House throughout the year. They constantly challenged and mobilised our young men and staff through an array of House activities, from ‘jump offs’ in the pool, auctions involving singing and dancing, ‘Speed Dating’ getting-to-know-you activities through to kick tennis. These activities provided our men with ample opportunities to connect with others and allowed the formation of strong House connections. The positive leadership of all our Year 12 men displaying an inclusive attitude has definitely further developed the culture of family amongst the students.

Our Year 10 students also demonstrated their developing leadership skills as Peer Support Leaders, offering support and guidance for the new Year 7 group. Our Year 7 group were like ducks to water, due to the welcome given to them by our peer support leaders and the rest of the House.

Our Year 9 students represented More House with pride as they set off on the Year 9 Challenge, participating in a wide variety of activities and service opportunities. They were accompanied by Mr Hendrix Kutukoff on Bush Week and proved themselves more than capable as they canoed, cycled, and camped, all while providing support and encouragement to each other along the journey and reinforcing the bonds within the

group. A massive thank you to Mr Kutukoff for not only accompanying the Year 9 Bush Week but also assisting with the COVID-postponed Year 10 Bush week at the start of the year.

We were very fortunate to be able to hold our More House Mass and Supper at the start of 2022 considering the limitations of communal gatherings. Once again, the night was a great success with past, present and future More House families present. Many thanks to the Perkins family and their helpers who transformed the Ramsay Hall into a sea of black and gold, and to all parents who brought food for a sumptuous supper.

We actively encourage all our young men to reach their magis and the achievements of House members in academic pursuits, sport, music, drama, debating and community service has been exceptional. A number of our Year 12 graduates have excelled academically with a vast number achieving an ATAR of 90 or more, recognising however that the measure of one’s success should not only be based on the outcome of an ATAR, but the quality and integrity of those individuals especially post school. These men have been equipped with the knowledge and skills to go forth and set the world on fire.

House meetings, the Athletics and Swimming Carnivals and inter-House competitions all provided an opportunity for the young men of More to represent their House and form strong friendships across year groups. This is

the strength of the House system, and it would not be possible without the dedicated group of mentors we have in More who selflessly give to the boys through advice, compassion, empathy, guidance, love, care, and most importantly, food each Thursday. We thank all our mentors. It would be remiss of me not to make special mention of Ms Alice Ossowski who will be leaving More House. Alice has been a former mentor, Assistant Head and at times acting Head of More House. Her

ongoing support and guidance for all our young men has been greatly appreciated, she is an exceptional leader and an outstanding person, and we wish Alice all the best in future endeavours.

More House prides itself as the ‘Family House’ where everyone is valued. We are proud of all our young men and everything that they have achieved in 2022.

Owen House

Head of House: Mr Jeremy Bennett

Assistant Head of House: Mr Ben Carolan

Mentors: Mr Glenn Abrahams, Mr Tim Byrne, Mr Adrian Chan, Mrs Deb Williams, Mrs Rosie McKay, Ms Justine Gesterkamp, and Ms Erin Johnson House Captain: Peter Spring House Vice-Captain: Jack Morton House Vice-Captain: Sam Hynes

The success of Owen House in 2022 is due to the dedication of the House mentors and the hard work of the House leaders. This year’s leaders, Peter Spring, Jack Morton and Sam Hynes, showed that they were worthy choices for these positions. The organising of House meetings and teams for Inter-House competitions is constant and it is a credit to these boys that they did such a wonderful job while at the same time maintaining a very high standard in their own Year 12 studies. Every

House needs its good, strong leaders and over the years Owen has been blessed with boys who are willing to give much time and energy to make sure everyone in the House feels welcome and has a sense of belonging.

In Owen we have six mentor groups each led by very generous staff members: Ms Justine Gesterkamp, Mrs Debra Williams, Ms Rosie McKay, Mr Adrian Chan, Mr Tim Byrne, Mr Glenn Abrahams and Ms Erin Johnson. It is the generosity of the mentor that makes every boy feel special. This is truly reflected by the gratitude from the Year 12 boys when they leave at the end of each year. Boys are part of a group of about 15 students ranging from Years 7 to 12 where they can share their thoughts and opinions on many topics and it is where they feel a sense of security and companionship. Mentor meetings are held three or four times a week and are the basis of pastoral care in our House system.

The Athletics Carnival is always a highlight of the inter-House sporting year. The important thing is involvement and I am very pleased to report that almost every boy in Owen competed in at least two events. We scored many points purely because boys chose to participate. The reward on the day is enjoyment gained by competing with and against friends and any win is simply a bonus. In the Inter-House touch football competition we made the final and had an enormous amount of fun playing each match. The same can be said for inter-House basketball and cricket competitions.

Community service is a very important pillar of the College and boys in Owen have maintained their strong service commitment whether it be in their small community or overseas as part of the extensive Immersion and Year 10 Service Week programs. All the boys in Owen who applied for a place on one of the many Immersions were successful, which says a great deal about the quality of young men in Owen House. As a House our combined service is enhanced by our work at the Jesuit Mission Bazaar where we look after the Kids Zone in the Gartlan Centre. This year on St Ignatius’ Day the whole school was involved in a Walkathon around the school drive to raise money for Jesuit Missions.

The House maintained its central role in the Retreat program. Each year group has the opportunity to take part in a retreat where the discussion includes topics such as service, spiritual development and personal growth. The Year 9 Retreat provided an opportunity for Year 11 members of the House to lead. The Year 10 boys had a day of reflection at the end of their community service week and the Year 11 Retreat went ahead as usual and was a most worthwhile experience for all. The Year 12 Retreat was centred on service after school where the Year 12 boys heard from recent old boys and their experience with continuing Ignatian service. Also a number of senior boys in the House attended a Kairos Retreat during the year which involved three days of personal and spiritual reflection.

Audere Egregia ‘Dare to be different’

‘Together We Define’ 2022 House Motto

On behalf of Mr Iligan and myself, it has been a privilege to witness the men of Ricci House achieve their personal best and strive for Human Excellence. Ricci House is a truly remarkable community! Again, this has been reinforced through the actions of the young men and all the wonderful families within our community.

I would like to acknowledge the work of Max Christie, William Brooks and Oliver Ell for the role they played in the success of our House this year. As House Captains they led the young men of Ricci House admirably, they were organised and enthusiastic in preparation of House meetings and they worked well with Mr Iligan and me. One of the standout features of this leadership group was their willingness to engage and empower other students in the leadership process.

Each year, Christian and I are continually amazed by the work of the Ricci House Mentors and Associates. The way that they interact every day with the young men of our House developing strong relationships and providing a level of care second to none. I extend my thanks to Mrs Sally Gates, Mr Kirk Hume, Mrs Elin Michelsons, Mrs Susan Thomas, Mr Andrew McGovern, Mrs Suzie Marks, Mr John Gilles, Mr Russell Newman, Mrs Jacinta Barlow, Ms Alyce Muldoon, Mr Dan Noonan, Mr Gerard Carson, Mrs Christina Mikan, Mr Brett Benkenstein, Mrs Jude Southon and Mr Greg Jones. We are fortunate in Ricci House to have these

Mentors and Associates, who have a great blend of experience and skills and the boys have been well served by these hard working and caring companions.

Matteo Ricci challenges us all to ‘dare to be different’, so Christian and I have taken up that challenge by asking, for the first time, two students to give their reflections on the past year in Ricci House. We thank Alfie Marnell (Year 7) and Jack McAvoy (Year 8) for giving up their time to write about Ricci House in 2022.

“The best word to describe my overall experience this year (Year 7, my first year at Riverview) is ‘enjoyable’. This is because, during the year, we have had some fun times partaking in House activities. These include the sports carnival, the Jesuit Indian Bazaar and the swimming carnival. In the sports carnival, we watched and cheered our house on, which made it very entertaining and fun. At the Jesuit Bazaar, it was good to go on rides and get food while being with your friends for a couple of hours. There have also been other types of activities such as Inter-House cricket and war cries. The main reason these events have been so enjoyable is because of my House. I consider myself very lucky to have been placed in Ricci House, as I have met some really kind people in Ricci, who I can ask for help or information when needed. This has allowed me to settle into a new school where I knew absolutely nobody at the start of the year and was very nervous about whether I would like to be at Riverview. One year later, I feel right at home and am looking forward to Year 8.”

“The year in Ricci has been full of many fun and engaging events. The Ricci House mass and supper was a night full of good food and cheer whilst giving families the opportunity to talk to those also in Ricci. The various House activities provided students with a chance to step out of their comfort zone and showcase their skills in a particular sport. The mix of years in mentor groups allows students to ask questions to the older boys and create a deeper sense of community inside the school walls. The small talks at sign-in are a constant reassurance that there is a deep network of support available if a problem were ever to arise. Ricci House instils the values of honesty, modesty and service into the students of Riverview. With firm guiding principles Ricci teaches the boys how to be men for others and how to leave a positive impression on those around them. All in all,

the year in Ricci has been one that has brought the Ricci student cohort closer together.”

Jack McAvoy (Year 8)

We also asked the newest members of Ricci House, our Year 7 men, to write what they believe it means to be a Ricci man, here is a snapshot of what they said:

“I think being a Ricci man is about having high expectations and being disciplined, being respectful and being a good man inside and outside school.”

Hugo Mason

“To me, being a Ricci man is to not follow the mob, to have integrity and courage.” Xavier O’Hea

“I think that a Ricci man is kind and helpful. A person who stands up for what is right and is honest.” Ignatius Kong

“I think what it means to be a Ricci man is to not be part of the crowd and to be respectful to your peers and your teachers.” Ben Barnett

Finally, I want to thank Mr. Christian Iligan for all his assistance during the year. He is a fine pastoral carer! His friendly nature, creative ideas, dedication and the personal care he provides each member of our community have endeared him to students, staff and parents.

God bless and live Jesus in our hearts forever.

Ricci 4 life!

Romero House in 2022 has had a memorable journey post-COVID-19. The unknown was upon us due to the effects of the pandemic but as a community, together we exhibited resilience and camaraderie and there has been plenty to be grateful for.

Term 1 began by welcoming an enthusiastic Year 7 cohort ranging from local Lane Cove to central and southern NSW. Year 7 camp was first on the agenda which consisted of travelling to a very wet Narrabeen and participating in a range of activities such as kayaking, bushwalking, and indoor activities. This was a great opportunity for our Romero Year 7s to explore and ask questions discovering who they are as people, and it gave Mr Lucia the opportunity to get to know the group on many different levels. Mr Lucia was humbled by how Year 7 presented themselves and fortunate to share the first outing with such a fine group of young men. The Narrabeen Camp will be one of the many memories these young men will take home and cherish for years to come.

It was a blessing to be able to celebrate the Romero Mass this year, an occasion that has been put on hold in the past due to the pandemic. Parents, staff, and students gathered in Ramsey Hall together as one in prayer and enjoyed a light supper later in the evening. We were able to acknowledge the Romero Year 12 men as we reflected on their journey through our symbolic Candle Ceremony celebrating their time at the College.

Mr Bourne, Mr Lucia, and the Mentors would like to thank our House Captain Cooper Donald, and Vice Captains William Smith and Charles Cooper, for accompanying the

Romero young men on their cura personalis journey engaging with many memorable activities contributing to the Romero House spirit. Such fun activities consisted of Mr Bourne’s Blind Auction, Table Tennis Competition, and the controversial Mentor Group Challenge.

Saint Ignatius’ Day is a very important date in the Term 3 calendar, and we were able to celebrate this occasion with a Walk-a-thon which encapsulated our 2022 motto ‘One Foot Raised’. We were blessed with delightful weather as the College came together as one entity to raise money for Jesuit Mission. Thank you to all Romero families for your generous contributions.

Term 4 brought us the Romero House vote for the 2023 House Leaders, and we were all proud of all Year 11 students who put their name forward to dignify Competence, Conscience, Compassion and Commitment. We congratulate the selection of Liam Sullivan as Romero House Captain and Vice Captains Lachlan Ambrogio and Harrison Kelly for 2023. We know this team will do a superb job accompanying our Romero young men through their journey at the College.

And finally thank you to Mr Lucia who did a fantastic job as Romero Assistant Head of House, and who is thoroughly enjoying this moment right now congratulating himself as he writes the conclusion to the Romero 2022 Alma Mater. God bless to all!

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child - Carl Jung

Yet another extraordinary year… I feel like I am repeating myself!

Although perhaps over quoted, Jung really was on the money with this. The brilliant teachers. While certainly we can agree our literal teachers have an enormous influence and are indispensably important, I’m thinking about the metaphorical teachers – anyone can be a teacher and they don’t even have to be human! A wonderful or horrid experience can teach. 2022 was both wonderful and horrid. We saw in all that maddening madness of illness, one mighty House rise with their incredible hearts and surround myself and my family with infinite goodness and generosity. 2022 was a year that showcased the best of Smith.

Smith House continued Ad vintos liberandos – setting the captives free – in their engagement with academics, sport, creative arts, connecting with their peers and the wider community, and community service – seeking the more in all of these. This year we were fortunate enough to begin again travelling to incredible immersion experiences such as Borroloola in the NT on the McArthur River, and country placements such as to Marlkawo in West Arnhem Land in the NT, Bourke in North-West NSW on the banks of the Darling River, and Bathurst Island part of the Tiwi Islands in the Timor Sea. Our young men learned about their smallness and their boundlessness.

This year, while we didn’t win the Inter-House Basketball, (we did come dangerously close!

A nod to Xavier House who pipped us at the post), we came close to winning many more House competitions. Smith this year felt like a swelling wave. Our success and engagement with activities, such as our Smif Haus Spelling Bee can in no small part be credited to the incredible efforts of our Year 12 cohort lithely piloted by our 2022 captains, Jack Gale, Sam Kearney and Joseph Maguire, who generated humour, fun, intellectual rigor and camaraderie among the boys and mentors in all that we did. It is with immense pleasure that we acknowledge the old and welcome the new. As Jack, Joey and Sam leave flanked by their magnificent peers through the iron gates to the excitement of the outside, our new captains deftly swept in, new ideas and hearts at the ready – James (Jimmy) O’Meara, Xavier (Xav) Keen and Charles (Charlie) Tsang. Term 3/4 2022 was already etched with their ‘taking the ball and running’ despite the unexpectedness of that part of the year, they were brilliant.

In my absence in Term 4, we had the superb Ms Jane Rorke step in, holding our Smith reins with the always extraordinary Mr Marty Collins. How can we possibly talk 2022 and not mention our incredible Jesuit Bazaar Things in a Jar stall. Amazing!! A crack team of parents banded together and created the most fantastic stall raising the second highest amount for Jesuit Mission in Smith House’s short history – a whopping $10,077!

With the curtains closing on 2022, we pack our bags, put away our pencils and contemplate with happiness a time of rest and hope in our hearts for a new year and new possibilities, just beyond that curtain. We await its opening. My mind wanders to literature… as always. Whitman tells us: “Every moment of light and dark is a miracle”. Brené Brown augments this with: “Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”

the difficulties which confronted him. He was also a man of hope, of hope born through faith in his deep relationship with the person of Jesus Christ. That hope allowed him to carry out his love-fuelled mission to care for the Catholic population of England during their most turbulent times. His care was not confined to the great people of the day, nor did it express itself in high politics, but rather focussed on the needs of the individual men and women who needed his support in the day-to-day activities of their lives.

Gentle strength and hopeful faith were the key defining characteristics of our young men in Southwell House in 2022.

the celebration of the Eucharist and the prayers offered for our House community, for the wider College, and for the world.

As a community, the gentle strength of our boys was on display in so many areas during 2022.

House Vice-Captain: William Kalkanas

The theme of the Southwell House Mass in 2022 was ‘Gentle Strength, Hopeful Faith.’ These words sum up fittingly the life of our House Patron, Saint Robert Southwell SJ, who died a martyr’s death but whose life was marked by a gentle strength that saw him persevere with quiet determination through

Those characteristics were forged nowhere more clearly than in our Mentor Group meetings throughout the year. Through sharing daily activities, sport, co-curricular pursuits, Boarding and home life, through the sharing of food on Thursdays and through the celebration of birthdays and significant events, our boys and our Mentors developed deep relationships with each other and learned again the value that everyone brings to our House.

We were blessed to be able to gather in full, vertical groups after the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions, a relaxation which also enabled us to celebrate our House Mass together for the first time since the pandemic hit. That Mass allowed us to experience again the hopeful faith which is expressed through

Our House Captain Dougal Lane and ViceCaptains Will Kalkanas and Luke Fish led the House with integrity, humility, drive and enthusiasm which, among other things, saw us enjoy significantly improved performances in the Swimming and Athletics carnivals; a great experience of community building, camaraderie, and service at the Jesuit Bazaar car wash at its new location on Regis Campus; and the generous involvement of so many of our boys at inter-House activities. Our three leaders received significant support from the College Captain, James Craig, who we were proud to claim as one of our own. We know that our new leaders, Hugo Paddon-Row, Jack Power and William Hayes will do a fine job in their roles, taking their inspiration from those who have gone before them.

But it was in the daily activities of our House and our community that our boys and Mentors lived out our Mass theme (which dovetailed so appropriately with our House Motto, ‘True to His Faith’). Our boys participated fully in plays, musicals, the whole gamut of sporting pursuits, in academics, as Special Ministers of the Eucharist, in retreats and days of reflection, in the Year 9 Challenge

(deferred to the beginning of the Year 10 as a result of COVID-19), in music, debating and chess, in Ignatian Service and in all the other array of activities offered at the College. It is this generous and enthusiastic participation, and not simply winning or coming first, that made our House staff – and families – so proud of our boys.

Because of ongoing disruptions caused by the tail end of the pandemic we were unable to continue our Saint Ignatius’ Day relationship with the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, preparing food for those men, women, and children whose circumstances force them to live on the streets of Sydney, but our boys participated fully in the walk-a-thon which was organised for the day to support the Jesuit Mission, and of course enjoyed each other’s company at the BBQ which was organised to celebrate our Founder’s feast day.

We had some outstanding achievements on the part of members of our House throughout the year which are worthy of mention. Will Kalkanas, a highly talented swimmer, participated in the National Swimming Championships, performing outstandingly; Dominic Mayhew made great

inroads in representative Volleyball; Dougal Lane captained the College’s 2nd XV Rugby team; William Francis was a member of the premiership-winning 1st XVIII AFL team; and Sebastian Filla-Duan excelled academically by completing HSC-level Extension One and Two Mathematics as a Year 10 student. We also had two students, William Hayes and William Faulder, who participated in an Immersion to Cape York where they lived among and learned from our First Nations people who represent the oldest surviving culture on our planet. As if that were not enough, we regularly had recipients of White, Blue and Gold Certificates for application to academic pursuits.

But we equally recognise all our students who persevered in their studies and in co-curricular pursuits, in service activities, and most importantly in the faith life of the College so generously, to the very best of their abilities, and all without seeking for rest or asking for reward.

We were blessed in our staff leadership in 2022, welcoming a number of new Mentors: Ms Suzanne Mouait, Ms Laura Bernasconi, Mr Andrew Nader and Mr Leon McAllister,

who joined Ms Louella Perret, Ms Dominique Marturia, Ms Jess Lonard, Ms Rowena Byrne, Ms Terri Lowe and Mr Tom Riemer, together with our Head of House Mr Damien Reidy and Assistant Head of House Mr Stephen Croker. All the staff relied heavily on the student leaders and indeed the whole student body who made the year smooth and vastly entertaining.

On a sadder note, we farewelled Ms Terri Lowe from the House as she moves on to a new chapter in her life. We will always remember her enthusiasm and deep dedication to the members of her Mentor Group, and we will forever be grateful for the time she was a member of Southwell House.

Saint Robert Southwell lived a life which was true to his values, and his actions were informed by his love for his God and for his fellow women and men, particularly those experiencing hardship. He is a fitting model for the Church and for our House – our boys, our staff and our parents, carers and families. May we imitate his determination to live, not where we breathe, but where we love.

Teresa House

Head of House: Miss Natalie Baines

Assistant Head of House: Ms Lorraine Logue

Mentors: Fr Joseph Dooley SJ, Mr Paul O’Brien, Ms Maya Saker, Ms Melissa Bowering, Mrs Sally Wentriro, Mr Jonathon Talbot, Mr Nick Bousie, Mr Nick Garling, and Mr Freedman

House Captain: Jake Juric

House Vice-Captain: Matthew Gibson

House Vice-Captain: Macklin Stannard

At the end of 2019, our House Captains chose the motto for the new year: ‘In selflessness, we find ourselves.’ Captain Jake Juric’s reflection at our House Mass captured their hopes for our Teresians:

“This is what we strive to achieve as a Teresa community; a House theme which centres not on ourselves, but on others. Through embracing service, we can find enduring happiness in our

world. Coming together and offering a helping hand to those not as fortunate as us can make a big difference to their lives and build the Kingdom of God.”

We acknowledged International Women’s Day this year by focussing on the message #breakthebias. Teresians were asked to make pledges in their mentor groups about how they can enact change and continue the important conversation about gender inequality. Students wore a purple ribbon to show their awareness and commitment to the day.

We came together as a community to celebrate Saint Ignatius’ Day. The Feast Day was particularly significant this year, as it marked the close of the commemoration of 500 years since the conversion of Saint Ignatius and 400 years since the canonisation of Saint Ignatius and Saint Francis Xavier. Students and staff walked laps around the College as part of the One Foot Raised Walkathon and raised funds for Jesuit Mission. In addition, alongside Cheshire House, we engaged in a Mental Health Art Project called ‘Hope is a thing with feathers’ named from a quotation by American poet Emily Dickinson:

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

It speaks to the power of hope in freeing the individual from struggles and challenges in their lives. We crafted 3D and 2D birds as symbols to share with our College community

on RU OK Day? (8 September) to provide opportunities for conversation around positive mental health.

Every year, in the name of our House patron, we commit to supporting initiatives and programs in India. In the absence of the Immersion Program over the last few years, instead of sending health care and wellbeing items for a Wish List, we raised over $6,000 for two projects chosen by India Immersion Leader, Mrs Kim Prodinger. We raised a further $4200 for our chosen projects; there are not enough words to express my thanks for your generous donations for these young girls and women. We are blessed with extraordinary families in our Teresa community.

I would like to thank our Captains Jake Juric, Matthew Gibson and Macklin Stannard 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 approached everything with a smile and positive attitude.

Thanks must be extended to the parents of the young men in Teresa House who continue to show generosity of spirit, repeatedly giving their time to support various events throughout the year and through their donations to numerous charities.

I would like to also express my gratitude to Ms Lorraine Logue for her leadership, and to our team of exemplary mentors who are focused on the care and support of each student in the House: Fr Joseph Dooley SJ, Mr Paul O’Brien, Ms Maya Saker, Ms Melissa Bowering, Mrs Sally Wentriro, Mr Jonathon Talbot, Mr Nick Bousie, Mr Nick Garling and Mr Freedman. They have built strong relationships with the boys in these challenging times and must be acknowledged for their dedication and effort. We farewell both Lorraine Logue and Maya Saker from Teresa House and wish them luck in their future endeavours.

Looking ahead to 2023, Teresa House will be led by Solomon Dunn, Thomas Brewer and Henry Curll. These young men will continue to build on Mother Teresa’s message through their chosen theme, “Strength of Mind, Courage of Heart.” As these leaders shared with our community:

“This enables us to pursue and endeavour to overcome complicated mental and physical battles, while keeping service and faith in mind. With this new motto it is our hope that our Teresians will be able to embody the values of Mother Teresa in their day to day lives.”

It seems that we continue to move in a constantly shifting and evolving landscape. Ever the English teacher, I leave you with a quotation from a novel that I read this year that resonated with me:

“Two people pulling each other into Salvation is the only theme I find worthwhile. —E. M. Forster, Commonplace Book” Sarah Winman, Still Life

May we continue to find salvation in each other’s care and concern as we move into next year.

The prospect of a more COVID-free and “normal” year gave everyone an extra spring in their steps. We were very sad to be losing Mr Tony Morris as a Xavier House mentor as he opted for a reduced teaching load. Tony, now in his 40th year of teaching at Riverview, has been an outstanding mentor and influence on not only the boys in his charge, but also

some of the fathers of these boys whom he also taught. We thank him for his outstanding service. Mr Toby L’Estrange stepped into Tony’s large shoes, beginning admirably and continuing in that manner throughout the year. Our other excellent mentors – Ms. Tessa Nelmes, Ms. Ursula Sequeira, Mr Peter Steffan, Mr Luca Asmonti and Mr Lachlan Wylie returned to take excellent care of the young men in their charge. Mr Brian Piper, our Assistant Head of House, again provided his invaluable influence.

The Xavier House community began the year with a House Mass in the Rose Garden on a magnificent February evening. Fr Tom Renshaw SJ was our celebrant and enhanced the experience with his inimitable insights and eloquence. However, within a week a fresh COVID outbreak prevented other Houses from enjoying such a moving experience. Year 7 students were able to enjoy a slightly modified Camp at Narrabeen with Mr Piper and demonstrated impressive attitudes, interactions and enthusiasm.

At the end of Term 1 Mr Piper received a devastating medical diagnosis that forced him to go on leave, and the outpouring of support and care for him by the Xavier House and College community highlighted the enormous respect and love felt for him. Ms. Sarah Dieu was appointed to be Acting Assistant Head of Xavier House and has been outstanding in that role from day one.

Year 10 were able to complete their “Year 9 Challenge” six months late at the end of Term 2, whilst a “normal” sport and co-curricular season (weather permitting) enabled a more balanced school year to be restored. InterHouse activities saw Xavier finishing as runners up in both the Swimming Carnival and Basketball.

Our House leaders, Harry Hartnell (Captain) along with Tom Bull and Nick Delany (Vice-Captains), steered Xavier House impressively with a variety of House activities, good example and wise advice. They were always supported by their Year 12 peers whose influence on the younger years was consistently positive in both example and instruction.

Term 3 saw the appointment of our new House leaders – Charlie Bull (Captain) along with Vice-Captains Joe Thompson and Lachlan Nelson. Our Year 12s prepared for a normal HSC timetable on the back of two very disrupted previous years. I will certainly miss their good humour and the inclusive atmosphere they have provided. They really have been a great credit to themselves and their families.

Also in Term 3, Ms. Tessa Nelmes was appointed as Assistant Head of More House. Mr Jack Newey was her replacement and slipped seamlessly into the role.

Moving into Term 4 our Year 9 boys were able to enjoy the Year 9 Challenge during the second half of the term. Under the wise, intuitive and influential supervision of Mr Lachlan Wylie many boys impressed in both their level of maturity and willingness to demonstrate initiative.

Looking ahead, Mr Lachlan Wylie has been appointed to the role of Acting Assistant Head of Gonzaga House for 2023, whilst Mr Jack Newey leaves to continue his studies. In their places we welcome back the wonderful Ms. Kim Davey and we introduce Ms. Stephanie Vardas, who shadowed both Mr Wylie and Mr Newey in the latter part of Term 4. We keep Mr Piper in our thoughts and prayers and welcome his regular visits to Xavier House. We are very fortunate to have Ms. Sarah Dieu continuing in her Assistant Head of House role for next year.

I wish you all the best for 2023.

Year 9/10 Challenge

By Joe Rooney (Year

10)

“The Challenge is designed to force independence while encouraging collaboration and to teach boys some of the necessary skills they will need after leaving Riverview. I can confidently say that for every boy in Xavier House, this was achieved. By overcoming a variety of challenges together, we became a unified group who worked together to achieve goals and learned resilience. It was an incredible experience that has definitely become one of my core memories of Riverview and has taught me skills that will stay with me forever.”

Tug of War

By Jackson Delany (Year 10)

Inter-House Tug-o-War was, as always, keenly contested. Despite not having the greatest team body mass, Xavier House’s reliance on

technique and teamwork proved to be a very strong combination. Everyone gave it their all and kept pulling through to the end, eventually leading the Xavier men to take out the gold in the Tug-of-war.

Swimming Carnival

By Josh Delany

Our first swimming carnival following the two-year Covid hiatus brought back some much needed, great House spirit and involvement. All the years competed and worked together, and the passion and enjoyment of all the boys led to a successful 2nd place overall result, continuing Xavier’s history of swimming dominance over many years.

DIRECTOR OF BOARDING:

MR ANTHONY BEGG

What a privilege it has been to have taken on the role of Director of Boarding for 2022. I feel honoured to be part of such an outstanding boarding community with such humble beginnings in 1880 to 320 full-time boarders who attend the College today. Boarding is at the heart of Riverview, so working with such a wonderful community brings a sense of joy and gratitude each day.

A significant part of my role involves conducting boarding tours for prospective families. It is an easy task when you believe so strongly in the values and ethos of the College. I get to discuss each family’s hopes for their sons and how Riverview can be a part of that journey. I conduct tours every day of the week at different times of the day, and while each tour is different, one thing remains constant: the manner in which the boys interact with us as we walk around the campus. The students themselves are the best advocates for a Jesuit Education and time and time again, parents

(and I) are impressed by the way in which the students have made them feel welcomed.

Our boarders come from near and far and this year it has been wonderful to get back out to communities on our Boarding Roadshow. We have been to many different locations including Orange, Dubbo, Wagga Wagga, Mudgee, Bourke, Darwin, Jugiong, Moree and Gunnedah just to name a few. The hospitality we have received in these towns is second to none and it is great for me to get a real sense for where the boys live. In order to know the boys, we must know where they are from and understand their context, “Cura Personalis” (care of the individual). I look forward to visiting new locations in 2023 as I continue to get to know and understand our Boarding community more closely.

Travelling throughout rural and regional NSW this year has been difficult due to the effects of excessive rain and flood. The resilience that our young men and their families have shown is incredible and as I write this, I know harvest is still occurring which I hope our families have been able to complete. During these difficult times, the boys look after each other and provide great support for one another.

As the year ends, it is hard to pick out highlights. We were able to host our first Boarders Parents’ Function in a couple of

years, which was very well attended and everyone was in great form. We were able to host our 2023 Year 7 boarders for a sleepover (the first in a couple of years) and we also held boarding events such as the Proctors Dinner, Year 12 Boarders Farewell and Proctors BBQs. Mrs Kelly put together a tremendous array of weekend activities including surfing lessons, putt putt, ten pin bowling, beach excursions, city walks, paintball, and Treetops high ropes - just to name a few. We were also blessed to start up some activities with girls’ schools including trivia nights, game afternoons and formal dinners with both Ascham and PLC Pymble. Personally I have enjoyed spending time with the boys, having chats, playing table tennis or touch football and just getting to know them personally. It is truly the best part of our days as educators and pastoral carers to work with outstanding young people as we mentor and support them on their journey from boys to men.

I would like to thank Sarah Graham and her team for the support of the Boarder Parents Association this year. I would also like to thank the Heads of Division and boarding staff for all that they do to support the young men in their care.

Senior CoCurriculum

HEAD OF CO-CURRICULUM:

MR ANDREW SZABO

2022 was another memorable year in Co-curriculum. Emerging from the COVID-19 global pandemic that disturbed Co-curriculum in 2021, Riverview and the world were still in recovery mode after all of Term 3, 2021 was spent at home doing online learning and no co-curricular activities. Summer 2022 sport usually commences in Term 4, 2021. Unfortunately students re entered the Campus and for the majority of Term 4, co-curricular activities, particularly sport were put on the back burner. The normal “trial” season was abandoned, therefore GPS competition sport was concentrated in Term 1 2022. During the December/January period, senior boys were allowed to commence pre season training, which suited families who were still hampered by COVID restrictions and not able to holiday too far from home.

Students returned to the campus in Term 1, 2022 and commenced sport and various nonsport activities with vigour and enthusiasm, however for parents there were still NSW state sanctioned restrictions on spectators in indoor sporting facilities we were forced to adhere to, so in week 3 of Term 1, the 138th Riverview Gold Cup Regatta was rowed without spectators lining the banks of the Lane Cove River for the second year in a row. It was a great day and many of our crews working hard towards the Head of the River, 4 weeks ahead, were successful in their races. Approximately 15 of our crews across years 8-12 won their Gold Cup events.

During Term 1, another sinister and annoying roadblock developed in the form of a weather pattern called La Nina. This weather was to play havoc not only in Term 1 but all the way through to the end of Term 3. By week 5 of Term 1, the Riverview rain gauge had measured over 500mm of rain in February, this made it almost impossible for outdoor training sessions and the Term 1 cricket season was in tatters along with other sports who play outdoors - basketball, tennis, touch football to name a few. It was one of the most frustrating times for our boys who yearned

to get back to normality and during this time. NSW Health wound back COVID mask and spectator restrictions, but games were being cancelled due to waterlogged fields.

By the end of the Summer GPS season, in his last year as coach of the 1st XI, Mr James Rodgers’ team had won a remarkable cricket premiership on the last ball of the season to cap of a 45 year involvement with sport at the College in which he coached 8 GPS 1st XI cricket premierships, surely a feat that will never be repeated. On the final weekend of GPS sport the Head of the River Race was moved to Iron Cove after the Penrith course was flooded by the record rains. Spectators were not invited and the course was less than the usual 2000m. Nevertheless, Riverview crews stood on the podium in all 11 races on the day. Our winning crews included the 3rd and 4th IV’s, the 3rd VIII and the Year 10 4th VIII. The 2nd VIII and the 1st IV came agonisingly close 2nd places by less than a second. The rowing shed under the leadership of Mr Dan Noonan is a powerhouse and our boys are benefitting from his knowledge and leadership. By the end of the term the rains broke momentarily and allowed the running of the Senior School House Athletics carnival for the first time since 2019. It was a successful day, all boys were involved in multiple house events, every boy showed immense House spirit and support for their peers. Mackillop House took the trophy, closely followed by Campion and More in 3rd Place.

Term 1 saw the return of face to face debating and our students debated successfully in the

ISDA and FED competitions, many teams made the finals. The Senior ISDA (1sts) team lost the final of this competition which includes the top 32 Independent Private schools in Sydney - a great achievement, this team also won the Fr Charles McDonald Cup with St Aloysius College and finished 3rd in the GPS debating Competition. Music and Drama also made a comeback and we ended the term with a brilliant adaptation of the popular Netflix series Stranger Things

directed and written by English teacher, Mr Stuart McCrae. Followed by the Conrad Page directed year 12 play WORDS ARE which played to delighted audiences. The middle school musical, Madagascar, played towards the end of Term 2, again to packed houses. It was a culmination of six months of work by about 100 students from Riverview and local girls schools and a diligent team of staff.

Rain continued into Term 2 and 3, up to 100mm on a weekly basis, which severely hampered the winter sport season and made AFL, Football and Rugby training and games extremely problematic. At the end of May, the XV played the first of two games at Leichhardt Oval in front of a large fan base narrowly going down to a very powerful Barker team in a curtain raiser before the NSW Waratahs game with the Auckland Blues. The winter season ended with our senior AFL team winning the Independent Schools Cup in a grand final under lights at Kogarah Jubilee Oval and then travelling to Canberra later in Term 3 to play for the State Cup, going down narrowly to Erindale College. One of the community highlights of 2022 was the annual Riverview v Joeys Rugby game. The College Executive decided due to the state of the fields and our ability to host a huge crowd, to move the game to Leichhardt Oval. The hype led to a crowd in excess of 15,000 and despite a glitch with a broken fence at the end of the day a hugely successful community day was held

between the two schools. Although the 1st and 2nd XV went down in spirited performances, the 3rd XV pulled off a miraculous win which guaranteed them a 3rd XV premiership on the day.

The remainder of Term 3 saw the GPS athletics season in full swing. 2021’s season was cancelled and the AAGPS Championships were not held for the first time since WWII, with 2020 being held spectatorless. Our boys returned to the track on another day that was punctuated with stretches of sunshine and heavy rain, some fantastic individual results were recorded and we look forward to building this into 2023. In September, our Alpine ski team had 23 entries in the Australian Championships at Perisher Valley and took home multiple medals including individual Gold and Team gold medals. I’d like to thank retiring Snowsports Coordinator, Chris Baxter for his years of dedication to Snowsports but also the time he spent as Master in Charge of AFL and Basketball.

Term 4 saw a major change in GPS sporting competition at senior level, the introduction of two competition rounds, which meant Basketball, cricket, tennis and water polo went straight into competition games from the early weeks of the term. I am pleased to report that after 9 months of constant rain, term 4 presented us with 8 sunny Saturdays

in succession. By the end of 2022, the city of Sydney recorded 2450mm of rain during the year which is the highest total since records have been kept.

Co-curriculum was alive and well at Riverview regardless of the bumps in the road, with about 35 different sports and activities on offer, there is barely a day when our boys are not participating in some form. To the boys, some of whom participate in four or five different activities I congratulate you for the efforts in making your Riverview education truly holistic. Thank you to the Program Coordinators, Age Group Coordinators, coaches, mentors, medical staff, counselling staff, grounds and facilities staff who also contributed countless hours in 2022. Particular mention to Mrs Terri Lowe, who was the assistant in the Co-curriculum office for nine years, your hard work, friendliness and dedication will be missed by staff and students whom you greeted every day. Thank you to College sportsmaster Mr Paul O’Brien, who each week places the boys on training fields and arranges all the weekend fixtures, a task that involves nearly 1600 boys and over 300 staff and external coaches. Finally, thanks to the parents for the support you provide your sons, Co-curriculum is a chance for your sons to see God in all things, learn to win and lose gracefully and make lifelong friends with shared passions, it would not be possible without caring family support.

2022 has seen the Riverview Chess Club continue its fine run of performances across the year. We saw great results in the Metropolitan Secondary Schools Chess Teams Competition 2022, with large improvements in the club’s Intermediate and Senior teams. After eight rounds of competition, the senior 1st team lost one game only in its division. This was the first time that Riverview had been so close to the semi–final in the inter–school chess teams competitions since 2017.

The 2022 Inter–House Chess Tournament saw the extension of the Riverview chess culture beyond the club. With a large crowd of spectators in attendance at lunch breaks every day in week 2 Term 2, players from each House contested under waves of rivalling war cries. The brilliant and humble chess player Matthew Dwyer defeated all his opponents to secure the championship title.

After three years’ hiatus due to the COVID breakout, GPS Chess Championship resumed this year. 20 August 2022 saw Matthew Dwyer, Lachlan Cronin, Julian Sammour, Sebastian Filla–Duan, Christian Bainy, Charles Tsang, Luka Milozzi, Spencer Solomons, Harry Brooks and Finn Egerton–Warburton walk into the Great Hall of Sydney Boys High School full of mettle competing against other GPS schools. After a long day’s tournament, our students demonstrated great chess tactics and sportsmanship. They were happy with the gains they achieved on the day.

The College Chess Club is a home for those who enjoy playing social games with friends as well as those who like the challenge in school and out of school chess competitions. As we conclude the 2022 season, we look forward to 2023. We are confident that we will continue the spirit and successes of the Riverview Chess Club, and further expand the chess culture.

Duke of Edinburgh’s Award

CO-ORDINATOR:

MS JACINTA BARLOW

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is an internationally recognised youth Award for participants aged between 14 and 25 years old. The Award has three levels – Bronze, Silver and Gold, each progressively more challenging. Each Award level requires an activity in Physical Recreation, Skills, and Service and has an Adventurous Journey component. Gold Awards also have an additional Residential Project to be completed. The Award is highly recognised by employers and by the tertiary sector.

The Award is self–paced and flexible and with far fewer pandemic restrictions this year, a large range of activities was able to be selected by the new Year 9 students. From fencing to sailing for Physical Recreation, juggling to cooking for Skills and coaching 6–year-olds to helping out at a Vinnies shop for Service, participants were able to tailor their Awards to their individual interests.

With restrictions lifted, boys in Year 10, 11 and 12 were finally able to participate fully in their chosen activities and we saw a number of Awards finalised by these older boys. Congratulations to Harrison Hartnell, Oliver Hehir and James Hehir for receiving their Gold Awards this year. This is a great achievement and you should be very proud of your efforts. A very well done also goes to those boys who are nearly finished; your perseverance and dedication has been noted.

In the April holidays we ran a Canoeing Adventurous Journey in Berowra Waters

with most of the Bronze participants. This overnight expedition gave the participants an opportunity to learn how to canoe (using efficient stroke techniques), read maps and navigate, set up camp and camp cooking. Unfortunately due to torrential weather and localised flooding, Adventurous Journeys in the July and October holidays had to be cancelled at short notice, but thankfully the December expedition went ahead. Well done to all the boys for making it through the storms and heavy rain!

A number of boys participated in ‘open’ journeys this year, opting for an expedition that suited their holiday timing better, or because they preferred another mode of travel, such as mountain–biking or hiking. This also enabled the boys to connect with Award participants from other schools.

I would like to thank all the Riverview staff members who assisted in supervising the overnight expeditions as well as staff who acted as assessors for the students. We could not have had so many successful Awardees if it wasn’t for your support.

Congratulations to all students who have achieved a Duke of Edinburgh Award this year. I am hopeful that 2023 will see the same levels of enthusiasm and success.

Equestrian

HEAD OF EQUESTRIAN:

MR MICHAEL ROFFEY

The Riverview Equestrian Team travelled to Coonabarabran on the 3rd of June to compete at the Northwest Equestrian Expo (Interschools). This is one of the largest equestrian interschool events in the country being held over five days with 113 schools, 560 students and 600 horses competing. The event covers a wide range of equestrian activities including a series of stock horse challenges, polocrosse competitions and pentathlon through to eventing, combined training, show jumping, dressage and ring and hacking events.

Riverview was represented by Hunter Fallins (Team Captain – Year 11), Archie Metcalfe (Year 10), Paddy Ryan (Year 10), Monty Hyles (Year 9), Charlie Lenehan (Year 9), Banjo Metcalfe (Year 8) and Alby Dew (Year 8). The team was supported by myself and Jenny Josling as the Team Manager.

The competitors camped at the Coonabarabran showground, joining up with the Loreto Normanhurst equestrian team for the event. This was a brave endeavour with the temperatures heading towards zero on a regular basis, cold winds and a big deluge of rain on the first day. This didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the team though, with everyone giving their all to the competition and enjoying the evenings by the campfire. Luckily the sun started to shine as the days progressed and the Riverview team went on to bring home some great results.

Hunter Fallins was the top point scorer for Riverview, coming 2nd in the eventing (combined dressage, show jumping and cross country) and 2nd in the open 80cm show jumping. Hunter came 3rd overall in the Boys 16 years age division. He also came 6th in the Pentathlon, beating the closest Kings School competitor by a good margin to win the running leg.

Archie Metcalfe was the next highest scorer, achieving first place in the Preliminary Dressage and bringing home the prize for the overall 15 years age champion for the same

event – a great achievement. Archie also came 4th in the Combined Training (dressage and show jumping).

Charlie Lenehan and Albert Dew were the next highest equal point scorers for Riverview with their Polocrosse team achieving an impressive second place in the very competitive 1st Division (C Grade). These are definitely two young players to watch for the future. Charlie and Albert each took 5th place in the stock horse sporting time trials and flag events respectively. Charlie also claimed 7th place in the junior boys Pentathlon.

Finally, Charlie, Albert and Monty Hyles came 3rd in the Team Penning event. This is an extremely challenging competition with a very large field of competitors, so this was a great result.

Congratulations to all of the boys on their results and to Paddy Ryan and Banjo Metcalfe who represented the school in all of the stock horse challenge events and the Division 2 polocrosse.

The boys make the riding look easy but rest assured, it takes many hours of practise in the saddle, regular tumbles out of the saddle and a lot of skill, patience and perseverance to get to this level.

Thank you to all of the equestrian team parents for your support at the event –keeping the fire burning, the food coming, and the clothes dry and clean when possible! A great time was had by all and everyone is already looking forward to the 2023 event.

CO-ORDINATOR: MS JUSTINE GESTERKAMP

Australian photographer Trent Parke is considered one of the most innovative and challenging photographers of his generation. He began his career as a press photographer and photojournalist and then became the first Australian to be admitted as a member of the acclaimed Magnum Photo Agency. His work sits between reality and fiction as he explores themes of identity and place through his emotional and psychological portraits of raw Australia.

“I use photography as a way to help me understand why I am here. The camera helps me to see.”

Trent Parke

This year we continued to encourage our College co–curricular photographers to utilise the camera as a vehicle of self discovery; a way to roam, unearth and bring to light their own personal stories. We support our students to develop emotional and personal

connections to their photography, to produce narratives like Parke that sit in the realm between shooting reality and creating fiction. Producing imagery depicting what visually relates to them assists students to naturally develop their own unique vision. Student’s works start to reveal their interests, their story. In turn their photographs become a way they can engage with each other and celebrate each other’s discoveries.

Students from Year 7 to Year 12 met after school each week to engage in a variety of photographic experiences to develop a portfolio of work. We utilised the College photography studio to guide students through a range of techniques required to create successful studio images with controlled lighting, the highlight of the year being the food photography shoot. The principles of photography were developed with a 35mm camera and the black and white darkroom. This extended students’ knowledge and skills in photographic chemistry and deepened their understanding of how to analyse light. Evening Zoom sessions from home challenged students to explore their local environments with timed challenges to weekly design prompts and ‘best photo’ competitions won through anonymous voting. Congratulations to Christian Bainy (Year 10) who topped the score board for 2022. Participation in a range of photographic

practices assisted to develop each student photographer’s confidence and experience working across a variety of photography applications.

Additionally, this year students were involved in the Riverview P&F ‘Art to Aid’ charity fundraiser held at Cova Cottage. Students exhibited their photographs alongside local practising artists. For most students it was their first opportunity to be involved in a public exhibition and sale of their work. Students generously donated the proceeds to the charity of the event, Country Education Foundation. CEF delivers grants, programs, resources, and community support to young people living in rural and regional areas. We acknowledge the boys’ contributions to this wonderful College event.

Congratulations to the following students awarded for their leadership and commitment to 2022 Co–curricular Photography.

HOBBS

ASSISTANT CO-ORDINATOR:

MS LEONIE GASTINEAU–HILLS

The Riverview Historical Society dates from 2004 when it became a co-curriculum activity called Riverview Archives Club. Last year, the club was re–named the Riverview Historical Society.

The Society consists of a small group of dedicated students ranging from Year 7 to Year 12 who enjoy the opportunity to explore the wonderfully rich heritage of the College that we are privileged to have in our Archives.

The activities of the society include researching family histories, significant events, and their impact on the College. Activities also include assembling exhibitions

on significant alumni, Jesuits, College sporting and historical events, and discovering and researching artefacts held in the museum. Students participate in guided tours of the College grounds with particular focus on our cultural heritage.

During the year, the students explored some of the rarely seen treasures which are held in the Archives. These include a very rare book by Saint Augustine called The City of God which dates from 1489. The book is an incunabulum, which means it was printed within the first 50 years of the invention of the metal movable–type printing press in 1450. It is also unusual because it includes hand–coloured illuminations, such as were included in the manuscripts of earlier centuries. The students also had a chance to see close–up the Riverview Gold Cup, the trophy for the Rowing Eight Open Competition at the Riverview Regatta which dates from 1893. Apart from its intrinsic value, the Gold Cup is recognised as one of the finest pieces of its kind produced in Australia and features characteristic flora and fauna of Australia. The handles of the trophy come out of the upper

proportion of the body of a kangaroo, while the garlands and wreaths that ornament it, are the leaves and flowers of the waratah. The front of the trophy is engraved with two eight–oared boats, in full swing while the figure of an oarsman holding the College flag is on the lid.

Other activities throughout the year included the mounting of a display on the history of Rugby at Riverview in the Archives Museum and another display in Senior Reception on the Riverview vs Joeys rugby tradition. While undertaking research for the exhibitions, Mr Rodgers came and spoke to the students about the first Riverview vs Joeys rugby game in 1907 and the birth of the rivalry between the two colleges.

Throughout Term 4, the society explored the history of the Dalton Memorial Chapel including the stories behind the donation of the marble altar, the lead–light windows and those past students they memorialise as well as the symbolism behind the modern stained–glass windows.

STEM Club

CO-ORDINATOR:

MS ERIN JOHNSON

This year the Integrated Learning Faculty started a co-curricular STEM Club for Year 7 students. Every Thursday afternoon students met in Wallace 222 to build and code with the LEGO Spike Prime kits. All students were welcome and a wide range of students across Year 7 who enjoyed collaborating, creating and coding joined the Club. A number of different robots were built including robotic arms, motorbikes, garage doors, and a wide variety of transport vehicles designed to race one another.

Throughout the year the students became more confident and the instructions were cast aside to let their creativity shine through. As the builds became more complex the students worked closer in teams to explore the possibilities of the equipment and what it could achieve. It was great to witness the students support one another to problem solve as they built the code to make their creations move, and then collaborated to improve the code to make them move faster!

Debating Reports

MR LIAM DONOHOE

2022 set a new standard for performance and participation at the College, with more than 200 students receiving instruction and coaching in debating at some stage . The year saw a number of new beginnings, not least our first season in the Friday Evening Debating competition (FED) and the launch of the Sydney Schools’ Development Debating Competition (SSDDC). Our teams performed incredibly well in all competitions, with the senior A side going down in a split decision in the ISDA Grand-Final, several FED and SDN teams making the Grand-Finals, and record results on overall tallies. While there are, as always, ways we continue to grow, the debating program took a big step forward in 2022, ushering in a new era of mass involvement, deep competition, and excellence across the board.

Independent Schools’ Debating Association

2022 saw a return to in-person ISDA debating and a continuation of our recent success and improvement. Primary B, Year 7, Year 9, Year 10, Senior B, and Senior A all made finals, with

the latter going all the way to the Grand-final. We saw improvement across all age groups, moving from 18th on the overall tally to tied 3rd (but 5th on margins), despite a challenging pool. Unsurprisingly, students improved considerably and had lots of fun, setting a new standard for future years.

Our primary teams had an encouraging start to external competition. The primary A side managed two big wins against Knox and Tangara, and developed impressively as the season went on. Meanwhile the Bs managed four wins on the way to the Octos, where they eventually went down to Kings.

The Year 7s showed great form with five wins in the regular season before going down to a talented MLC side in the Octo-finals. The Year 8s showed glimpses of greatness, with hardfought victories over pool heavyweights Knox and Abbotsleigh dashed by disappointing close losses. The Year 9s had probably one of the stranger seasons in recent memory, losing their first four in heartbreakingly close fashion before beating Abbotsleigh, Roseville, and Tangara in the final three rounds. Just sneaking through to the finals, they eventually went down to Cranbrook in the Quarters. The Year 10s had a simpler but just as impressive season, with their only two losses in the pool stages to Knox and Wenona. Alas, their impressive run came to an end in the Semis, going down in a close debate to eventual competition winners, Sydney Grammar.

Sam Kearney Joshua O’Dea, Lachlan Doyle and Charles Henry, Senior ISDA Debating wining team of the Fr Charles McDonald Cup

The Senior B team were just as impressive, losing only three debates in the pool stages, including eventual winners SCEGGS Darlinghurst in the Quarter-finals. The Senior A team made it all the way to the Grand-final, where they went down in an unlucky split. After beating Kings, St. Andrew’s, and Barker on the way to the Grand-final, the Grand-final saw them face Sydney Grammar. Despite winning the chair, the majority of the panel found in Grammar’s favour. To make the Grand-final is an incredible accomplishment in itself, and speaks to this team’s incredible abilities. This was the 4th Senior A grand-final Riverview has made since 2015 and the 6th in the last 12 years.

Friday Evening Debating

2022 saw our debut in the Friday Evening Debating competition after many years on the waiting list. Fortunately we immediately proved our worth, finishing 2nd on the overall tally and with 6 of our 8 teams into finals, including 7B, 7A, 8B, 8A, Year 10, and Senior B.

7B advanced to the Quarter-finals only to be defeated by a strong Monte side, while 7A had the honour of competing in Riverview’s firstever FED Grand-final where they met their match against a strong Tara side. Both teams should be proud of their performance and excited for big things to come.

8B were our top-performing team in the regular season, making it to the Quarterfinals where they went down to Tara Anglican School. 8A managed to make the finals, with Redlands getting the better of them in the Quarters.

Year 9 had a challenging season, but did manage to beat a strong Sydney Boys side. Despite some disappointing results and close decisions, the team showed resolve and humility which will be remembered much more (and be more useful) than results. Year 10 performed very well, making it all the way to the Grand-finals, where they went down to a strong Knox team. Along the way they won six debates, including satisfying wins over both St. Aloysius’ and St. Josephs!

Senior B were our third and final Grandfinalists; while they went down to Sydney Boys, they should be proud of a truly strong season. Senior A represented the College admirably against strong opposition and only narrowly missing the finals. They should be proud of a great season against highquality opponents, and of their considerable contribution to Riverview debating over the past 6-8 years.

Greater Public Schools

Debating

The GPS debating competition was once again our largest competition, and proved particularly challenging in 2022. While our performance was a bit below previous years, coming 5th overall, we still managed our first victory in the GPS 3rds competition for many years and to get two students into the representative teams. Moreover, the season saw more students debate than ever before and facilitated consistent improvement across all our teams.

7A were one of our top performing teams, with four wins, including over strong Sydney

Grammar and High teams. 8B had a great season, knocking off strong teams like High and Shore on their way to three overall wins. 8A meanwhile managed two wins over Scots and Shore. Their eventual rankings did not reflect their consistent quality, the closeness of their losses, or their fun and improvement throughout the season.

9B had a strong season, finishing in fourth place with four wins. Not to be outdone, 9A managed to finish on four wins and in third place overall. 10B performed well despite a rocky start and went on to beat Kings, Newington, and Joeys to achieve fourth overall. 10A had a mixed season, winning 3 debates over Scots, Newington, and Joeys, but with High getting the better of them. Overall the intermediate age groups consistently performed at a high-level and on their day (or when they showed up) could match it with any team.

The 3rds were our standout performers, finishing in equal first place, for the first time in recent memory. With five wins and two losses, the team had the best record in the College this year, and even beat traditional powerhouses Grammar and High. The 2nd, meanwhile, had a mixed season, with wins over Scots, Shore, and Newington enough for 5th place overall.

The 1sts’ season was even more of a roller coaster with an initial 4-debate undefeated streak offset by losses in the final three rounds, including to eventual winners, Joeys. Despite this disappointment, the team have much to be proud of and were as good as any Riverview 1sts I’ve seen, living up to

and perpetuating our reputation for excellence. The Year 12s, in particular, were great servants of the program, and gave a huge amount of their 6-8 years, so I thank them—along with the Year 12s in the 2nds and 3rds—for their outstanding commitment.

Joshua O’Dea and Sam Kearney were recognised for their talent with representative honours, as they both made the GPS 2nds representative team. Joshua was also selected in the NSW Debating Union squad, our first Year 11 to do so since 2010.

Schools Debating Network

SDN continued to provide additional high-quality competitive opportunities to our debaters in Term 3 across eight age groups / divisions. We once again performed admirably, coming 3rd overall with 7 of 8 teams in the finals, including Primary B, Primary A, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9, Senior B, and Senior A.

Primary B managed five victories but went down to Brigidine in the Semifinals. Primary A improved enormously from ISDA, debating in their first finals and eking into the Semis before going down to a very strong Wenona team. This improvement is impressive and a credit to the hard work of the students and the staff supporting them.

Not to be outdone, Year 7 also made it to the Grand-final, besting four teams in the regular season but going down to Redlands in the end. Year 8, meanwhile, improved considerably with 3 wins and a significant victory over Abbotsleigh. Missing out on the finals by the smallest possible margin, they impressed with their commitment and improvement as the season persisted.

The Juniors team had a record-breaking season with three wins. Though they were one victory off making the finals, this was an outstanding performance which reflects the depth of our program. Year 9, alas, also missed out on the finals, and will be disappointed not to have defended the premiership they won in 2021. Nonetheless, their three wins were impressive, and they were very unlucky to narrowly miss the finals.

Senior B had an outstanding five wins, with losses only to Abbotsleigh and Brigidine. Making the finals, the team looked to be on track to make their second Grand-final of the year, only to go down to Abbotsleigh in a close one. Senior A continued their outstanding form from FED, making the Grand-final once again but going down to a talented Roseville side. Both senior teams represented the College admirably in and out of the debating room, and were a fine example of Riverview debating for younger students.

Sydney Schools’ Development Competition

2022 saw the launch of the Sydney Schools’ Development Debating Competition (SSDDC). The College launched this competition to provide further opportunities to students who miss out on one of the other competitions, or who are new and want to try debating in a less confronting format. Debates take place on Zoom, with schools providing their own adjudicators and entering as many teams as they can manage on a weekto-week basis.

It’s safe to say that the inaugural season was an enormous success. Attracting a range of public and private schools, including MLC, PLC, James Ruse, Newington, Scots, and countless others, SSDDC provided consistent debating opportunities to all Riverview students every Friday night. Unsurprisingly, numbers ballooned in response, with at least 5 teams in Regis, 5 teams in Year 7, 2 in Year 8, 5 in Year 9, 2 in Year 10, and 1 in Seniors. Though there were a few inevitable hiccups and learnings, we have implemented feedback and should have an even better competition ready in 2023 with even more teams and schools.

SSDDC was undoubtedly the biggest step forward for the program in many years, and will hopefully grow to become a core element of Riverview’s ever-growing and improving debating program.

Public Speaking

CO-ORDINATOR:

MRS MARILYN FITZGERALD

As the virtual world started to loosen the limits of lockdown, 2022 saw a return to more conventional oratory platforms for our Public Speakers at Riverview. Whilst certain competitions, such as the CSDA, retained the convenience and comfort of the screen, most events were able to resume the familiar and formidable format of a live gallery.

This year Riverview was pleased to offer our students a diverse range of dynamic and challenging opportunities to “Speak Up” and showcase their wit, humour and eloquence in front of both virtual and in–person audiences. We thank all students and parents for their warm support and have valued the expertise and mentorship of Ms Jennifer Jackson for her assistance and encouragement throughout the year.

CSDA Public Speaking Competition

Established over 50 years ago, the CSDA Public Speaking Competition, is the largest and longest running oratory platform open to all Catholic schools in NSW. Fiercely competitive, it attracts over 700 participants in the opening rounds alone. As with last year’s event, it was held via Zoom and Riverview had strong representation, with a wide range of entrants from Years 7–12. All students deserve to be congratulated, and we had tremendous success with three speakers progressing through to the Grand Final. Lachlan Flynn (Year 8) achieved 3rd Placing and Cooper Sweetmore (Year 7) was awarded overall Runner–Up, a most impressive result to commence the year:

⁄ Year 7 – Cooper Sweetmore (Grand Final Runner Up)

⁄ Year 7 – Charles Fuller (Grand Finalist)

⁄ Year 8 – Henry Martin (Zone Finalist)

⁄ Year 8 – Lachlan Flynn (Grand Final 3rd Place)

Rostrum Public Speaking Competition

Rostrum Voice of Youth is a popular national competition that involves over 400 students in NSW alone and around 2000 Australia–wide. It is open to all students from State and Catholic schools who are encouraged to speak on topical and relevant contemporary issues. This year, several of our junior and senior boys represented the College in this prestigious competition, held at Santa Sabina College. The boys listed below are congratulated for delivering inspiring speeches, with a special mention to Julian Criola and Knox O’Connor who both went on to represent the College in the Zone Finals.

Lawrence Campbell Oratory Competition

On Friday night, 29 April, Angus Greiner (Year 12) represented the College in the Lawrence Campbell Oratory Competition, held at Sydney Grammar School under Covid–safe conditions. It is recognised as the most prestigious public speaking event in NSW with past winners such as Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and former High Court Chief Justice Anthony Murray Gleeson.

It is a combined competition between GPS and CAS schools and demands a challenging impromptu–style format where students are allowed 15 minutes to prepare an eight–minute speech on a given topic.

Angus spoke on the topic “There’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in”. Coached admirably by Mr James Rodgers, Bas Braham (OR2019) and Noah Vaz (OR2013), he entertained and intrigued the audience with his wit, passion and eloquence.

Plain English Public Speaking Award

This year, two of our talented students represented the College in the prestigious Plain English Public Speaking Competition held virtually on Zoom.

Isaac Ford and Sam Wright, both from Year 10 delivered an 8–minute prepared speech and then had to undertake a challenging impromptu task as well. The boys spoke with eloquence and passion about key issues of concern in contemporary society such as Cultural Identity and Gender Expectations and should be congratulated on their efforts.

THEATRE PRODUCTIONS

MANAGER: MR CONRAD PAGE

“The word theatre comes from the Greeks. It means the seeing place. It is the place people come to see the truth about life and the social situation. The theatre is a spiritual and social x-ray of its time.” – Stella Adler, New York Times, December 1992.

2022 Co-curricular Drama presented the opportunity for students to perform on the O’Kelly Theatre stage by creating wonderful and memorable live theatrical moments. 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 and sound designing. Co-curricular Drama, rather like a busy theatre ensemble, provides a unique platform for students to release their artistic talents by collaborating with theatre makers to experience all that live theatre can provide.

This year’s productions had students and audiences excited by a variety of theatrical experiences. In March we staged the Year 10 Play, The Trials of Robin Hood by Will Averill, directed by Sinead Zille with assistant direction by Tom Riemer and Lara Stern. May saw the Year 11 Play, Stranger Things, based on a science fiction horror TV drama, adapted for the stage and directed by Stuart McRae, as well as the Year 12 Play, WORDS ARE… which showcased contemporary and classic monologues, speeches and scenes exploring the theme of words inspiring action. We reintroduced the Year 7 Drama Club with three short play performances in August, giving the young actors the opportunity to strut the O’Kelly Theatre stage. In October we had two Year 8 One Act plays, Bloodbath a radio play by James Poe, directed by Andrew McGovern and Where the Wild Things Are adapted and directed by Natalie Baines from the picture book by Maurice Sendak; both plays were stage managed by Christine Moriarty and our very own View Crew students. We ended 2022 with our Year 9 students tackling Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps by Patrick Barlow and John Buchan, directed by Kirk Hume and assistant directed by Derek Walker in November.

I would like to thank and acknowledge all the behind-the-scenes students, parents and staff who work tirelessly and creatively in the theatre wings.

The Riverview student stage crew started in 2016 with only a handful of students and has grown over the years, becoming what we now call View Crew. The View Crew was a vision James Craig (2022 College Captain) had in Year 8 and it is now a thriving reality. This year we have seen an influx of over 30 students from Year 7 to Year 12 getting involved. The dedication and professional approach from all crew members has been wonderful to watch. The crew have learnt to completely understand how to manage a theatre production from first meetings with directors and deciphering their theatrical visions to turning them into production magic in the O’Kelly Theatre. A very fond memory for me was our last performance of the year, The 39 Steps, when the View Crew came in after school and at lunch times for weeks before the production started. In these extra times the crew set up and managed every aspect of the production needs for the play in preparation for the technical and dress rehearsals. By the time the opening night performance happened the View Crew were independently managing and running the entire production. I must acknowledge the extraordinary work by Year 10 View Crew student Hugo Wrightson this year. He has gone above and absolutely beyond all expectations and can now completely manage the entire View Crew, calling a performance and understanding every production element needed to successfully produce an entire play from start to closing performance. Well done Hugo. I must also thank and acknowledge two Year 12 View Crew students, Marcus Criola and Mac Stannard, who have for years worked tirelessly in the O’Kelly Theatre mentoring the younger View Crew students. Marcus and Mac also worked on the last play of this year coming back into the O’Kelly Theatre even after they had officially finished their last HSC NESA exams. Marcus and Mac will be missed at all View Crew training sessions and working on the numerous theatrical events around the College.

Theatresports 2022 provided over 170 students from each Senior year group the opportunity to experience the challenge and exhilaration that is improvisational theatre. Five competitions were held over the year, kicking off with training in Term 1 and the first Year 9-12 Intermediate and Senior Theatresports Competition in the first week of Term 2. Also, this year for the first time we added a Pymble Ladies’ College friendly Theatresports competition and a Theatresports fundraiser competition at the Jesuit Mission Bazaar in the O’Kelly Theatre. In Term 3, September, the Year 7 and 8 Junior Theatresports Competition ended the year with Marcus Camilleri, Hugo Collins, Jude Feilen, Maximilian Finsterer, Hamish Walter being selected to represent Riverview in the NSW ImproAustralia Schools’ Junior Competition in Term 4. This Junior Team made it to the Grand Finals and placed 6th in the State. A large thank you to our talented Theatresports Coordinator Lara Stern with coaches Nicholas Heydon, Valentina Raguz and Sally Wentriro, and all Senior Theatresports student mentors, hosts and judges who helped throughout the year.

“All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts...”– William Shakespeare, As You Like It

The 2022 Drama Captain Jack Treacy and Vice-Captain Tom McKay have been exemplary leaders, always thinking of others by working backstage, ushering, hosting Theatresports, performing and supporting all other drama students. I also sincerely thank Principal Dr Paul Hine, Rector Fr Thomas Renshaw SJ, Head of Co-curriculum Andrew Szabo, Head of Drama Louise Arnott and Co-curricular Drama Assistant Lara Stern for their endless support and professional guidance.

2022 has been a wonderful year for Cocurricular Drama and it has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of every moment. Thank you to all involved in the many and varied Co-curricular Drama ensemble roles providing rewarding and enriching theatrical experiences for student thespians, ensembles, and production crew.

ARE…

Monologues and scenes from powerful playwrights adapted for the stage by Conrad Page, the crew and Year 12 cast actors.

Director: Mr Conrad Page

Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale. – Hans Christian Andersen

All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. – Walt Disney

WORDS ARE… is a directorial vision inspired by the idea of the human mind processing thoughts which are written down to become words which in turn create action. This production showcased contemporary monologues, speeches, poems, quotes, and scenes chosen by the Year 12 students, exploring the theme of words becoming performance and characters live on stage. This production wove a tapestry of powerful and, at times silly, words and images together to create a theatrical experience where the stage changed over the duration of two acts.

The passion, level of talent, dedication and creativity of staff and students in collaborating on all aspects of this performance humbles me as the director. I would like to thank all View Crew, ushers, students, Co-curricular managers, and parents who helped on this production. Thank you to all the actors; Finnbar Barry, Joe Calleia, James Craig, Oliver Ell, Max Ghiazza, Tom McKay, Jack Morton, Lochlann O’Callaghan and Jack Treacy. Without the generosity of their time and support this production would not have been possible.

I extend a special thank you to Kathleen Hunt who meticulously designed, hand-made and custom fitted the costumes for the Year 12 production and for all our Co-curricular Drama plays; she is truly amazing and an asset to the Co-curricular Drama department.

The set built by staff Mark Anderson and Kirk Hume exemplified their ability to transform the O’Kelly Theatre into the theatrical space needed for this production and made it a joy for the actors to perform on.

The technical magic that is lighting, sound, projection, and props would not be possible without the passion and creative flair of staff like Daniel McCreton who manages our View Crew students. Also, the View Crew

Finally, a large thank you to student Alexander Bradley for taking the production photos and Helen Coolican who supplied the prop typewriter from the Sydney Story Factory; to the Riverview Library staff who helped supply and deliver all the books for the set - Sally Wentriro, Courtney Compton-O’Brien, Jen Pocknall and Aaron Speed-Johnson; and to Principal Dr Paul Hine, Rector Fr Tom Renshaw SJ, Head of Drama Louise Arnott, Head of Co-curriculum Andrew Szabo, and Drama Teacher & Co-curricular Drama Assistant Lara Stern for all their ongoing support for Co-curricular Drama.

Stranger Things

Adapted by Mr Stuart McRae

Director: Mr Stuart McRae

Assistant Director: Mr Andrew Taylor

In Term 2, a cast of incredibly talented Year 11 actors teamed up with the talented View Crew students to present a world-first stage adaptation of the Netflix sci-fi extravaganza, Stranger Things. The stage adaptation gave our students the opportunity to delve into a dazzling world of mystery and full of supernatural elements, while presenting a thrilling tale about friendship, the importance of family and the comfort of home.

Congratulations to our incredible cast Silvia Albertoni-Calleja, Lauren Brown, Imogen Cantlon, Josie Carroll, John-Paul Colosimo, Toby Drew, Rory Dwyer, Leo Egerton-Warburton, Daniel Haire, Benji Harris, Lucy Hui, Alexander Jambrich, Charlotte Jones, Luca Maher, Max Matthews, Jack Norton, Eirinn O’Gallagher, Alexia Testa, Zach Woodburn and Katelyn York. I was awed by your courageous choices, your passion for the craft of acting and your overwhelming dedication to the ensemble. You brought this show to life, and its success is a testament to your passion and hard work.

This was an incredibly technical show and would not have been possible without the impressive technical skills of the View Crew. Congratulations to Gabriel Ashmore, Alex Camilleri, Marcus Criola, Kestrel Ebsworth, Sam Kearney, Henry Merrick, Jack O’Keeffe, Maximilian Power, Max Quirk, Harry Ridgewell, Mac Stannard, Cooper Sweetmore, Nicholli Thompson, Hugo Wrightson and Gregory Zucconi. What a phenomenal effort guys!

Once again, the O’Kelly Theatre was transformed into a magical world with the genius of set designer and builder Kirk Hume. Thanks for helping me dream big mate, I am constantly inspired by your flair for the magical and love of the theatre. Thank you also to Mark Anderson for your assistance with set construction, to Kathleen Hunt and Louella Perrett for dressing the cast and successfully transporting us back to the 1980s, and to Andrew Taylor for your assistance in directing - your keen eye for detail, words of encouragement for the cast, and enthusiasm for the process made the experience a stress-free and memorable one.

Finally, thank you to all parents and guardians for supporting and encouraging this talented group of young thespians, and for celebrating the joy that theatre brings to us all.

The Trials of Robin Hood

Written by Will Averill

Director: Ms Sinéad Zille

Assistant Directors: Ms Lara Stern and Mr Tom Riemer

Cast: Quinn Blabey, Henry Butler, Joseph Carney, Justin Choy, Tom Doyle, Edward Dunstan, Isaac Ford, Wilson Frith, George Gaha, James Harrison, Thomas Hartman, Xavier Hynes, Bryce Keevers, Arna Lane, Cian McAweeney, Tana McCleary, Charlie McKay, Anna Morrison, Raphael Quoyle, Edward Roach, Henry Rooney, Dashiell Russell, Milan Sundaraj, Liam Treacy, Ava White and Hugo Wrightson.

Emerging from the dappled forest of Sherwood, the bustling Nottingham marketplace, and the regal throne of King Richard, comes this comedic tale of Robin Hood and his band of mostly merry men. Maid Marian, the Sheriff, and Robin Hood narrate and enact their version of events with ubiquitous charm and humour. Interwoven is the transformation of all characters into the storyteller’s perception of them. Ultimately, ‘Hood’, a hero symbolising hope, conquest, and justice, may not actually be the ‘strong and lusty yeoman’ that legendary tales portray

The journey of bringing The Trials of Robin Hood to stage superstitiously foreshadowed the trials we would endure in this drama of life imitating art, imitating life. Set in the turbulent medieval times, the existence of this philanthropic legend survived due to his loyal team, resilient spirit, and charismatic actions. The excellence, commitment, and loyalty of this group of students was as legendary and fierce as the spirit of Robin Hood himself. It was nothing short of a miracle that this play was staged and was the inaugural performance in the O’Kelly Theatre after many months of restrictions and empty theatre seats in 2020 and 2021.

The magnificence of our View Crew supplying the lighting, stage management and sound engineering framed Robin Hood and his Merry Men in their colourful costumes and disguises with flair. The View Crew who worked on this production are: Gabriel Ashmore, Alex Camilleri, Marcus Criola, Kestrel Ensworth, Boston Kirkby, Luca Maher, Henry Merrick, Maximilian Power, Max Quirk, Harry Ridgewell, Mac Stannard, Nicholli Thompson, Hugo Wrightson and Joshua Yap. Thank you to our program photographers (students) Alexander Bradley, Alexander Kerr and Nelson Meehan.

Quintessentially, The Trials of Robin Hood (2022) showcases the heart of those gathered in, around, and behind the scenes. This story of a band of passionate souls illustrates that times of great trial and tribulation bring alive the best of the human spirit. The humour, resilience, and involvement of the students in this cast is unsurpassed by anything I have known in my career. For all the obstacles that we overcame (Zooming the most of 2020), the friendships forged, and experiences had by all will be etched into our hearts forever. It was an exquisitely brilliant comedic adventure.

Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps

Adapted by Patrick Barlow, novel by John Buchan

Director: Mr Kirk Hume

Assistant Director: Mr Derek Walker

In mid-November, an enthusiastic ensemble of Year 9 students performed a stage adaptation of the 1935 Hitchcock film thriller The 39 Steps, a project they took on with great theatrical energy.

The cast was led by Angus Devlin and Romy Elliott in the roles of Richard Hannay and Pamela Edwards, two strangers who find themselves literally handcuffed together and pursued across the Scottish moors by police and foreign agents in a race against time to thwart the evil plans of Professor Jordan, a Nazi spy, played with great relish by Julian Criola.

In the spirit of the classic spy thriller, the plot of The 39 Steps provides plenty of danger, narrow escapes, and even romantic encounters. There is a seductive spy who ends up with a knife in her back, a chase on a high-speed train, a ‘North by Northwest’-style biplane attack, and a murder in a packed theatre.

Along the way we meet the stage mnemonist (an individual with the ability to remember and recall unusually long lists of data) Mr Memory (Harvey Cummins), the German double agent Annabella Schmidt (Lulu Wrightson) as well as the spiky Scotsman John McTyte (Ruki Merlin) and his long-suffering wife Margaret (Alexandra Cuthell).

All cast members were kept busy playing the many cameo roles that appeared throughout the evening including a pair of lascivious underwear salesmen, thugs, pilots, politicians, policemen and even a roomful of dancing fascists!

With a student cast of 16 playing over 40 characters over the course of the two-act show, Louella Perrett and the indefatigable Kathleen Hunt excelled themselves in providing costumes evoking the 1930s period (lots of hats!) and assisting in the quick changes required.

I would like to pay a particular debt of gratitude to Derek Walker, listed in this program as Assistant Director but was more accurately ‘Co-Director’, whose depth of

experience and sound knowledge of theatre practice helped steer us calmly through the countless obstacles and technical challenges that confronted us in mounting this production.

We were also very fortunate to have as Lighting Designer Marcus Criola and as Stage Manager Mac Stannard, both of whom very kindly offered to work on this show despite having just completed their final NESA HSC exams the week before. This was a very much appreciated sign-off from two young men who have made an enormous contribution to theatrical productions with View Crew during their time here at Riverview. Also, thank you to our student ushers: Dylan Bennett, Daniel Haire, Callum Mitchell, Liam Tracy, Ian Wilson and Sebastian Wong.

Bloodbath

By James Poe Director: Mr Andrew McGovern

A radio play that comes to life? A lead who is both protagonist and narrator? A realistic studio setting and an Amazonian rainforest? Live sound effects? Characters meeting their untimely demise in ever more creative ways?

These were some of the crazy ideas that came to life when our Year 8 performers took the stage. Adapting James Poe’s classic 1950s radio play, performed originally by Vincent Price and his iconic voice, certainly presented some challenges.

Poe’s play charts the journey of a rag-tag group of explorers, led by Harrison, through the Amazonian rainforest in search of a deposit of uranium and untold riches. Our lead faces untold challenges ranging from dangerous snakes, treacherous river crossings, blood-sucking vampire bats… and most deadly of all, the very human quality of greed.

We are indebted to many members of our Riverview community who contributed to the success of this production. Congratulations to our cast of Gabriel Ashmore, Harry Brooks, Aidan Cosgriff, Nicholas Dwyer, Joshua Dyster, Finn Egerton-Warburton, Harry Fingleton, Henry Klok, Lachlan Korowe, Henry Martin, John Massasso, Finn RobertsThomson, Henry Rose, Renzo Russell, Alexander Sutherland and Oliver Tucker. These young men dedicated themselves to their craft and all gave wonderful performances. Thank you also to the parents and families of our cast members who provided unflagging support.

A huge thank you goes to the dedicated Cocurricular Drama Coordinator and Theatre Manager, Mr Conrad Page, for supporting the creative vision of the show; the supremely talented Kirk Hume for his inspiration and outstanding set design with Mark Anderson; our highly creative costume team, Kathleen Hunt and Louella Perrett; indefatigable stage manager Christine Moriarty and backstage supervisors Ursula Sequeira and Julie Stevens; our remarkable View Crew student team, led by Daniel McCreton; and finally, to all the ushers who gave up their time to help, Dylan Bennett, William Garnsey, Fred Lennon, Knox O’Connor, Liam Tracy and Sebastian Wong.

Where the Wild Things Are

Adapted by Ms Natalie Baines from the picture book by Maurice Sendak Director: Ms Natalie Baines

Inspired by the iconic children’s picture book and film, Where the Wild Things Are is a beautiful reflection about the power of dreams to allow us to move through difficult emotional experiences. Sent to his room without dinner, Max’s imagination sails him to the land of wild things where, for a little while at least, he is in control. When he’s done leading the monsters, and is ready to be a boy again, he returns to his room, where he finds that his mum has delivered something to eat, a gesture of her unconditional love and affection. Buried deep in its storyline are meaningful truths about anger, fear, frustration, loneliness, and hope.

The performance was an amalgam of voices; our own little Wild Things contributed to the script, the movement and choreography, and the aesthetic vision for the reimagining of this well-known picture book, and I felt blessed for their willingness to create the world together.

To watch this small group of young people stand on stage - many for the first time - was a humbling experience. With each week, they grew in confidence as they learned to step into the identity of another, in a world different, and perhaps much the same, to their own. It was a privilege to walk beside this group and I was in awe of what they achieved as Year 8 students. I thank them for their dedication, openness, and immense sense of fun and energy. And to our mischievous ‘King of the Wild Things,’ Thomas Poynton, an expression of gratitude for his commitment to his main role in the play.

I am always inspired by the innovation of staff in making these productions. Without their generosity of time, support and spirit, the play could not happen. To Kirk Hume and Mark Anderson, who designed and created magnificent set pieces to create this imaginative realm; they have a true gift for bringing the words on the page to life and I am always in awe of their creative ideas. To Kathleen Hunt and Louella Perrett who created the costumes for our new world; I valued their advice, as well as their passion and commitment, as always. I also extend my thanks to Christine Moriarty, Denyse Gibbs, Ursula Sequeira and Julie Stevens, who helped behind the scenes with props and set pieces and backstage supervision as well.

To the View Crew, under the guidance of Daniel McCreton, their skill and talent at such a young age to enliven the theatrical experience through light, sound and stage management was truly impressive. I was grateful for their contributions to our wild vision. And, more specifically, to Hugo Wrightson: put simply, an impressive young man who has demonstrated both talent and leadership in adding all the production elements to the stage to add depth to the characters, setting and story.

And to Conrad Page, a man and educator whom I deeply respect for all he does and imagines for the students at the College. He was integral in supporting and helping our cast with the energetically choreographed Rumpus dance! He provides these young men with an extraordinary platform to learn about themselves, others and the world.

This story reminds us about the power of art and imagination to allow us to turn challenging moments into vehicles for change and growth. That there is, for both children and adults alike, a wild thing in us all.

To my wild things – Thomas Poynton, Max Power, Lachlan Clubb, James Chepul, Artaban de Lacharriere, Lachlan Flynn, James Gibson, Michael Hadwen, Oliver Jones, Alex Kardos, Charles Lennon, Raphael McLachlan and Patrick Welsh.

Directors: Ms Rosanna Comastri, Ms Suzanne Mouait and Ms Alice Ossowski

Student Mentors: Drama Prefects, Jack Treacy and Tom McKay

The Year 7 Drama Club provides a wonderful opportunity for the boys to ‘have a taste’ of Drama at Riverview. Drama has an extraordinary power to transform education through creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking. We have been thrilled to offer three Drama Club groups this year, each dynamic and exciting in their own way. The boys have enjoyed experimenting with drama games, warm ups, improvisation, Physical Theatre, scripts, and character work.

The accumulation of this work was showcased in a performance in the O’Kelly Theatre on Thursday, 4th August. We were incredibly proud of the boys who performed confidently, presenting a variety of short oneact plays.

The first group performance was The Prisoners of Year 7, an entertaining piece about students being imprisoned at school where everything goes wrong. The next performance was a short play called Going Up?, about reconnecting with those around us, particularly those we take for granted. The evening finished with The Information Superhighway, a play about the benefits and pitfalls of technology in modern society. Our audience was highly entertained by the skill and enthusiasm of all our young performers in their diverse range of plays.

Thank you to the Drama Club directors for 2022, Ms Rosanna Comastri, Ms Suzanne Mouait and Ms Alice Ossowski. A special thank you to our Drama Captains Jack Treacy and Tom McKay for stepping in at the last minute to help with directing; and also to the student View Crew: Gabriel Ashmore, Alexander Camilleri, Maximilian Power, Harry Ridgewell and Nicholli Thompson, whose energy and commitment have been most valued.

It has been a colossal year for Theatresports at Riverview with the return of our live Junior, Intermediate, and Senior competitions, State competitions, as well as a friendly competition with Pymble Ladies’ College and our first Theatresports competition at the Jesuit Mission Bazaar. This ever-expanding program would never be possible without the generous support from Old Boys, student mentors, staff, parents, and the boundless enthusiasm of the students themselves. A special thank you to our brilliant coaches, Sally Wentriro, Nick Heydon and Valentina Raguz for their incredible work with the boys. Thank you to Theatre Manager, Conrad Page, for always championing the enormous Theatresports program with tremendous patience; to our talented pianist, Christine Moriarty for improvising soundtracks to accompany each competition; and to the View Crew team who coordinated our sound and lights with absolute professionalism over the year.

Improvisation is about having a real sense of trust in your teammates, creativity within structure, risk amongst rules. There’s a certain magic in watching a group of students boldly stepping onto a stage in front of an audience without a script to invent stories and characters on the spot. The greatest reward of this co-curricular activity is witnessing students’ confidence, skills and friendships flourishing week by week, always accompanied by plenty of laughter.

Year 9 -12 Theatresports Competition

Training sessions for our Intermediate and Senior Competition kicked off in Term 1 with Intermediate and Senior teams attending weekly training sessions. It was a privilege training these dedicated young improvisers alongside coaches Ms Sally Wentriro and Ms Valentina Raguz.

The team trained with dedication and playfulness throughout Term 4, and demonstrated their exceptional teamwork skills and quick wits in their first heat at the Lindfield Learning Village, where they placed second and progressed to the semi-finals. Despite the high standard of the competing schools in the Semi-finals, our teams impressed with their outstanding performances and were awarded first place tied with Shore, securing a spot in the Grand Finals. Our boys shone in the Grand Finals with their enthusiasm and dynamic energy to place 6th in the State. Congratulations to Nick Heydon, the team’s coach, and to the team for representing the school with exceptional commitment and joy.

An enormous thank you to the boys’ parents for helping with transport and for their incredible support for the team. Thank you to our Drama captains, Liam Tracy and Dylan Bennett, for coming along to the competitions to cheer for our boys.

Improvisation is fun, but it’s not easy. It’s an artform that requires practice, passion, and discipline. Thank you to everyone who contributed to our 2022 Theatresports program, we applaud your creativity, courage, and contagious enthusiasm.

Speech and Drama

CO-ORDINATOR:

MS CASSANDRA COCHRANE

Hooray! Finally a chance for live performances once again.

Our Drama, Speech, and Public Speaking students have had a great year, with two action packed recital evenings in the O’Kelly Theatre this semester. This was finally a chance for our budding thespians to hone and polish their best work to present to friends and family.

What is always so fabulous about these evenings is that they bring together a mix of students from Years 7-12, giving all boys a chance to see each other’s work, as well as having the chance for younger ones to see older boys performing advanced monologues and duologue scenes - great inspiration.

This year we convinced all of our students, both drama and public speaking students, to stand up and perform something, from short speeches to duologue scenes, comic and tragic, the full gamut.

Both nights were a roaring success with many emails from parents afterwards - thank you all - confirming that there’s nothing quite like a drama recital evening for range and variety and I guess, idiosyncrasy - some wild and wacky and thoroughly entertaining work on view!

After working without audiences for the last two years there was some trepidation about performing again, but with such a buzz in the audience even those suffering nerves lifted their game and performed with excellent audience support.

So to sum up, it has been a busy and positive year for all students, from our Year 7 pairs working on drama improv games, public speaking tasks and debating games and dramatic text work, to our Year 11 and 12 students working on meaty and insightful play texts, or for public speaking students on the development of a range of advanced presentations.

The private Drama and Speech program really offers something for everyone. Confidence, dramatic skills, public speaking skills and also a break from the academic program to pursue interests and passions in the material students develop.

Thanks to the wonderful Lara Stern, who will be off on maternity leave shortly, but will return to us in Semester 2, 2023, and to the wonderful Libby Fleming, whose dramatic presence is like a fireball boosting the creative energy of the team. We look forward to another year of creative and unique performances in 2023.

View Crew

VIEW CREW MANAGER:

MR DANIEL M C CRETON

The View Crew is a team of student-led theatre production management designers and operators. The vision for View Crew is to train students to lead and run all production elements needed for the College’s Co-curricular Drama performances. This includes designing and operating all audio-visual equipment, assisting with backstage and production elements to stage a theatrical performance like costumes, set, props, projection, lighting, sound, and stage management. View Crew includes students from Years 7 to 12 being trained, with more experienced students mentoring others to successfully gain knowledge about all production elements needed to enhance a theatrical experience for the actors and audiences.

The 2022 View Crew started off as strong as ever with a huge team of eager students. This year we saw over 30 students join us in Term 1, with many new faces ready to learn new skills alongside our continuing students who further developed their skills in lighting, sound, and backstage management.

Starting the year with Year 10 Play, The Trials of Robin Hood, the View Crew members chose their own roles and were able to put together and manage a great performance with new and old students learning and developing their theatre production skills, from sound design and operation, lighting design, plotting and operation, backstage stage management and

props management. After this play, the View Crew produced a wonderful array of lighting work, sound effects and props management for the Year 11 Play Stranger Things and the Year 12 Play, WORDS ARE…, which allowed our students to explore a more contemporary and classic style of theatre design work.

Later in the year, View Crew students also assisted enormously in the two Year 8 Plays, Bloodbath and Where the Wild Things Are. These two plays had a huge input from the View Crew Students where some students took on the role of Stage Manager to organise, design and plan all aspects of backstage work, working alongside the directors to ensure a plan was in place for lighting, sound, props, and everything in between. After this, we finished with the Year 9 Play, The 39 Steps, which saw the View Crew students once again work together to create a great theatre space with their lighting and sound design which was very complicated and really asked all crew to step up, which they all did.

I am always greatly impressed at all the hours of dedication the students put into each of the shows and the smiles on everyone’s faces when a performance comes together flawlessly. I thank each and every one of the View Crew students: Gabriel Ashmore, William Brown, Alexander Camilleri, Ryan Chow, Julian Criola, Marcus Criola, Thomas Doyle, Kestrel Ebsworth, Angus Hui, Sam Kearney, Luca Maher, Ruki Merlin, Henry Merrick, Maximilian Power, Max Quirk, Harry Ridgewell, Elliot Sollomons, Mac Stannard, Cooper Sweetmore, Nicholli Thompson, Hugo Wrightson, Joshua Yap and Gregory Zucconi.

College Musical

Madagascar – A Musical Adventure

DIRECTOR: MS SINÉAD ZILLE

Madagascar is an unforgettable animation about friendship, adventure, and loyalty. Well-known and much loved worldwide, it is a musical adventure that follows the journey of Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the Hippo and, of course, the little comedic tuxedo-clad, planning and plotting Penguins.

It was going to take a touch of magic to bring to life the endearing dancing animals and laugh-along ninja penguin heroes from the silver screen! It is testament to all of the dedicated students who emerged from behind their masks and magnificent costumes that justice was done in our portrayal of this creative musical masterpiece. Riverview’s production of Dreamworks Madagascar - the Junior School Musical is a treasured experience, because of the vibrant and energetic students. Their somersaults, singing, drumming and dancing is only matched by the friendships forged and the memories made for all involved.

Our adventure began with this tribe of colourful and outlandish characters wellentrenched in the daily routines of the Central Park Zoo concrete jungle. The characters ventured out of what they perceived as blissful paradise, in a bid to save utopian seeking Marty. Through the melancholic musings of Melman and an unfortunate encounter with the New York City police, we watched the fumbling furry creatures being boxed up, shipwrecked and washed ashore in… paradise.

In this utopian jungle, we experienced through Alex’s eyes a different way of lifeaway from the hustle and bustle of the city is a life of sea-weed skewers and coconut juices. With flamboyant rulers like our show stopping performances of King Julien at the helm, life was one big celebration. Of course, every adventure and every place of paradise was not without peril - ravenous lions without steak, penguins on their way to Antarctica, and scary Year 8 Foosas all had to be navigated. Through these trials and tribulations, we witnessed the importance of the loyalty of friendship and how these bonds can be strengthened during times of adversity.

After countless hours in rehearsals with crates of courageous ‘Zoosters’, ‘Foosa’ tribal beats beckoning and tropical havens inviting even the most unimaginative of us to join the Lemurs in paradise; we had a magical production. The adventures of those on screen imitating the adventures of the cast and team. The lead up to opening

night certainly brought with it numerous challenges. We were caught in torrential downpours, battled COVID, the flu season, and hoped that all little animals would know how to ‘Move It, Move it’ when the gates to Central Park Zoo opened… and we couldn’t have been more proud. This was a cast who brought smiles and toe tapping entertainment to the first audience that Ramsay Hall had housed since COVID closed the doors a year prior.

It was an immense pleasure to witness the cast grow into their characters and energise each scene with their resilience and perseverance. As singing echoed throughout the school and the beat of dancing feet on the stage lifted this musical from the pages, we knew we had something special to share. New friendships were forged and new skills were learnt.

We hope that this was an experience that will be forever treasured as it was for all of the staff involved. To that end, sincerest thanks is extended to the producer, choreographer, costume team, designers, marketing department, support staff and parent helpers.

We are so very grateful to everyone who has been involved in bringing this production to life.

Music Co-curricular Overview

MR PETER WATTERS

2022 saw a very welcome return to music making and performing opportunities both at the College and within the wider community. Without the disruption of previous years, we have begun the rebuilding process with many students returning to the Co-curricular ensembles, as well as welcoming new members. Students began the year eagerly polishing previous repertoire and learning new material.

We welcomed two new Co-curricular ensemble directors this year, Mr Connor Milanos (Chamber Strings Ensemble Director, Intermediate Strings Ensemble Co-Director and Orchestra Co-Assistant Director, with Ms Nicole Murray-Prior), and Mr Luke Thatcher (Drumline Director).

Our first major event was the annual Riverview in Concert, held on Wednesday 18th May. It was an opportunity for each of the Co-curricular ensembles to demonstrate their skills and hard work. The Riverview Orchestra, Intermediate Stage Band, Intermediate Concert Band, Intermediate String Ensemble, Riverview Big Band, Drumline, Ignatian Choir, Emmanuel Guitar Ensemble, Symphonic Wind Band, and Chamber String ensemble were this year joined by the Regis Choir and Regis Concert Band. Each of these ensembles performed to a high standard and were warmly received by an appreciative audience in Ramsay Hall.

A new event for Riverview this year was the Riverview Music Gala Evening which was held on Wednesday 3rd August. This concert saw performances from the Orchestra, Symphonic Wind Band, Chamber Strings, Drumline, Ignatian Choir and Riverview Big Band, as well as solo performances from Archie Delany (Voice – Year 9 Music), Max Ghiazza (Bass Guitar – Year 12 Music 1), Rian Cobb (Guitar – Year 11 Music 2), Julian Criola (Voice – Year 9 Music), Hamish Grover (Trombone – Year 11 Music 1), Jack Caine (Saxophone – Year 10 Music) and Toby Bower (Voice – Year 11 Music). Congratulations to

the students involved for an entertaining and professional level of performance.

For the first time since 2019, the Jesuit Mission Bazaar was held at the College on Saturday September 10, with large ensembles in Ramsay Hall and other ensembles and soloists performing on a stage outside the Woods Music Centre. The very popular Battle of the Bands was held again, for the second time, with Riverview’s own ‘Deep Focus’ winning the competition.

Throughout 2022, Riverview musicians have had the opportunity to showcase themselves, and the College, at public events.

The Ignatian Choir and the Regis Choir, as well as the Drumline, were invited to perform again at the Stand Tall Event, held at the International Convention Centre in Darling Harbour on Wednesday 8th June. This event brings together students from all over NSW to hear motivational speakers such as Olympians Jakara Anthony, Joany Badenhorst and Eloise Wellings; refugee Duku Fore; cancer survivor and businessman Michael Crossland; and i4Give Day founders Danny and Leila Abdallah. The choirs performed ‘Climb Every Mountain’ alongside 2021 The Voice winner Bella Taylor Smith. The Drumline, performing at Stand Tall for the first time, wowed the audience. Both performances were in front of a live audience of 5,500 secondary school students, teachers, and supporters, as well as over 100,000 students and teens across Australia via livestream and recording.

From the 16th to 18th June, the Ramsay Hall was transformed into Central Park Zoo, as the cast of Madagascar – A Musical Adventure Jr hit the stage and showed everyone how to ‘Move It, Move It’. This year’s Junior Musical

was loads of fun from start to finish with exceptional performances from everyone involved. Congratulations to the production team, and especially the cast on a wonderful show.

Term 3 saw the Regis Choir and Regis Concert Band represent the College at the IPSHA (Independent Primary School Heads of Australia) Concert at the Sydney Town Hall, performing ‘High Hopes’ by Panic! At the Disco. The Regis Choir then participated in a combined schools choir for the APPA (Australian Primary Principals Association) conference at the Sofitel in Sydney, where they performed ‘You’re The Voice’ by John Farnham.

In Term 4, the Intermediate Concert Band and the Riverview Big Band were invited by the Lane Cove Council to perform at The Canopy. This was a great opportunity to showcase our talented students for the local community and their performances were warmly appreciated by the audience.

In addition to all of these performance opportunities, our Co-curricular music ensembles performed at several school events and assemblies. It has been so rewarding to be able to make music together once again after the disruption of the previous two years, and our music students have willingly grasped every opportunity with enthusiasm and dedication.

Thank you to our wonderful Co-Curricular ensemble directors, and especially to our students, for making 2022 such a busy and successful year. We look forward to seeing what 2023 will bring.

2022 Riverview Music Gala

The Music and Drama Private Tuition Program

CO-ORDINATOR: MS TRISH SCHWAGER

2022 has been a considerable reboot year for the Music and Drama Private Tuition Program. It has resurfaced from the previous COVID years to its former better self, providing the optimal 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 program enables students to develop a unique ability to manage and explore their own learning and serves as a pathway for further music and dramatic experiences.

During 2022, participation in concerts, recitals, external examinations and, most importantly, the individual lessons, were presented in a welcomed live, face to face format. Creative thinking, determination and a love of music enabled all private tutoring to

flourish as the year progressed. Students reengaged on a real time, one-to-one basis with their tutors and instrument(s). The undeniably superior mode of face to face teaching 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.

The Orchestra

MR PETER WATTERS

The Riverview Orchestra met each Monday morning and developed a varied and engaging repertoire of music throughout the year. As well as revisiting past favourites such as ‘Amazing Grace’ arranged by Elliot Del Borgo, Rossini’s ‘The Barber of Seville’, ‘Eine Kleine Nachtmusik’ by W.A. Mozart, and ‘Trepak’ by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, the students worked on more challenging pieces including the more contemporary arrangements of The Greatest Showman and Phantom of the Opera.

The Orchestra had the opportunity to perform at three major events in the CoCurricular Music program: Riverview in

Concert, the Music Gala Evening and the Jesuit Mission Bazaar. The boys performed to a high standard at each event and have developed a full and cohesive sound.

At the start of the new school year, we were excited to welcome our new members which included French Horn, Trumpet, Trombone, Bassoon/Flute, Clarinet, and Drums/Percussion. Then, as is the cycle of the schooling life, we farewelled our Year 12 students at the end of Term 3. I would like to thank Gabriel Izard (Cello), Joshua Morahan (Viola), Luke Rennie (Violin I) for their commitment to Orchestra throughout their time at Riverview, and for their mentorship and support of the ensemble members.

I thank each member of the Orchestra for their commitment to early morning rehearsals, independent practice and their participation in performances. Thank you also to our first chair, Joseph Thompson, for his guidance and leadership of the ensemble, and to Ms Nicole Murray-Prior and Mr Connor Malanos who assisted with rehearsals and performances.

I look forward to seeing the Orchestra continue to grow in 2023, developing their skills and tackling challenging pieces with their usual persistence and enthusiasm.

Chamber Strings

MR CONNOR MALANOS

The Chamber Strings Ensemble is intended to bring together Riverview’s most ambitious string musicians to explore complex music.

My goal working with the Chamber Strings Ensemble in 2022 has been to create a professional environment and a real-world experience for the musicians involved. The Chamber Strings musicians have been called upon to prepare demanding pieces for regular school concert opportunities and to sight-read music in various ensemble configurations for community events around the College and beyond.

I am immensely proud of how these young musicians stepped up to these challenges and more with good spirits and an open mind. This year they developed their higher order ensemble skills including: improvising, playing together by ear, leading sections, counting in, and providing feedback to each other during rehearsals.

In 2022 Chamber Strings covered an extensive repertoire including Holst’s St Paul’s Suite, and AC DC’s ‘Thunderstruck’, the notoriously virtuosic ‘Czardas’, Clint Mansell’s ‘Requiem for a dream’, and a beautifully textured arrangement of the classic tune ‘Danny Boy’ as well as over a dozen other pieces in ensemble rehearsal both with and without sheet music.

Sharing the aural tradition of folk music and witnessing the Chamber Strings ensemble learn and perform tunes entirely by ear has been a real highlight for me at Riverview this year. Seeing students work together organically, sharing and collating different parts of a tune with one another, and bringing it all together has been a wonderfully human, musical experience.

Saying farewell to our brilliant Year 12 musicians as they move on to completing their HSC always has an impact on the small ensemble. I am grateful to Joshua Morahan, Gabriel Izard, and Luke Rennie for their long term contributions to the ensemble. I am delighted with the new generation of young musicians that have stepped up to the challenge of the Chamber Strings Ensemble and I look forward to seeing what they get up to in 2023.

Intermediate String Ensemble

MS NICOLE MURRAY PRIOR

Meeting each Monday morning in the Woods, the Intermediate String Ensemble comprises students from both the Senior and Regis campuses.

In Semester 1 the Ensemble performed two beautiful pieces at Riverview in Concert including the Finnish hymn of peace ‘Finlandia’, and Béla Fleck’s blue-grass tune, ‘Big Country’. The folk tune was learned completely by ear and performed as a combined item with the Chamber Strings Ensemble featuring a beautiful duet by Harry Johnston and Felix Merlino.

In Semester 2 the students were joined by string players from the Orchestra and Regis Strings to form a massed String Ensemble performing a number of pieces at the Jesuit Mission Bazaar. Their energetic and exciting performance included the wonderful and inspiring ‘Dragonhunter’, as well as the rhythmic ‘Big Ben Boogie’, and a serene yet joyous rendition of the popular ‘Canon’ by Baroque composer Pachelbel.

New pieces studied during Semester 2 include the exciting ‘Viking’ by popular composer Soon Hee Newbold. This dramatic piece explores various bowing techniques and dynamics. The students also played ‘Bushwacker Stomp’, and ‘Cello Squadron’, which featured the very talented cellists of the Ensemble.

Ignatian Choir

MR KIRK HUME

2022 saw the Ignatian Choir appear in many venues around the College and elsewhere to perform music both sacred and secular and, as ever, aiming to lift the spirits of their listeners.

In March, the choir led the singing in the Easter Liturgy in the Ramsay Hall. They were joined by a Rock Band from Year 11 to bring the service to a powerful close with ‘Prepare Ye The Way of the Lord’ from the musical Godspell.

On Wednesday 18 May, the choir performed twice; first in the morning for the Friends Listen Assembly in front of their peers and again later that evening for their parents and friends in Riverview In Concert. On both occasions they sang ‘You Will Be Found’ from the musical Dear Evan Hansen with Archie Delany singing the solo in the morning assembly and Will Thomas featuring as soloist in the evening concert.

Later that month, soloists from the choir, Luca Maher, Daniel Izard, and Rian Cobb stepped up to sing ‘Yil Lul’ by Joe Geia in the Reconciliation Assembly in the Gartlan Centre.

One of the highlights this year was to travel to the International Convention Centre in Darling Harbour to take part in Stand Tall, an event that brings together inspirational young people to share their stories of challenge and resilience. The combined Ignatian and Regis Choirs joined the amazing Bella Taylor-Smith on stage to perform a rousing arrangement of ‘Climb Ev’ry Mountain’ in front of an audience of over 5,000 cheering students from across Sydney.

Term 3 was a busy one for the Ignatian Choir, with some large masses in the Dalton Chapel including Saint Ignatius’ Day and the Assumption Mass at which young Year

Lusher performed a sublime rendering of Schubert’s ‘Ave Maria’ from the organ loft accompanied by Ms Christine Moriarty.

It was also a great honour for the Ignatian Choir to perform in the presence of His Excellency Anthony Fisher, Archbishop of Sydney at the Confirmation Mass of 20 Riverview students in the Chapel.

As always, it is with sadness that we had to farewell three Year 12 students who over the past eight years have devoted so much of their time and energy to the musical life of the school: William Brooks, Macklin Stannard, and Jack Treacy.

IGNATIAN CHOIR Back Row: Mac Stannard, Frederick Lennon, Daniel Izard, Archie Delany, William Brooks Second Row: Jude Feilen, Patrick Gardiner, Tom Doyle, Adam Walters, Luca Maher, Xavier Hynes, Julian Criola First Row: Ms Trish Schwager (Accompanist), Samuel Young, Mitchell Pettersson, Alexander Bradley, William Pettersson, Joshua Pettersson, James Gibson, Mr Kirk Hume Seated: Charles Lennon, James De Flamingh, Luis Criola, Jack Treacy, Angus Harrison, Maximilian Finsterer, Arthur Lusher Absent: Angus King, Jed Mercer, Sachin Sundaraj, Will Thomas

As ever, the Ignatian Choir also helped bring the liturgical year to a close at the College with their singing of ‘O Come, O Come Emmanuel’ at the Advent Mass in the Ramsay Hall.

Symphonic Wind Band

MR MICHAEL BELLEMORE

This year has been an interesting year for the Symphonic Wind Band. After such a difficult period of time over the last two years, it was refreshing to be able to participate in public performances for the first time in a while. These performances included Riverview in Concert, an assembly performance, and a well received performance at the Indian Bazaar for the first time in three years! We also managed to get through a fairly diverse repertoire, many with a distinctive 70’s and 80’s flavour, namely the ‘Michael Jackson Medley’, ‘The Final Countdown’, ‘Instant Concert’, ‘Take on Me’, ‘On Broadway’ and ‘The Avengers’. The ‘Michael Jackson Medley’ is an arrangement I have used in past years and the students always enjoy playing it. We look forward to also participating in band competitions next year which always provides the students with challenging repertoire and another chance to perform publicly.

During 2023 we look ahead to organising some performances both at College and in the local area where we can show off the abilities of these talented students.

To conclude, I would like to pay tribute to the students from Year 12 who are leaving us this year: Max Ghiazza, Sebastian Ballantine, Anderson Porter, Tom McKay and Marcus Criola. A big thank you for your leadership, commitment and enthusiasm over the years.

Intermediate Concert Band

MRS SUE THOMAS

It has been a busy and an immensely enjoyable year for the Intermediate Concert Band. We had the opportunity to play at various concerts and venues throughout the year, which is so important for our young band’s progress.

This year, the Intermediate Concert Band had a wide range of instruments from all sections, with the addition of Tuba, French Horn, Oboe and Flute, as well as four percussionists. This variety enabled the band to play a diverse range of music, as all sections were catered for. Our first performance was at Riverview in Concert, performing ‘Defying Gravity’, one

of the key moments from the hit Broadway musical Wicked and ‘A Song of Hope’, which helped to cultivate expressive playing in our young musicians. The Jesuit Mission Bazaar was next on the performance calendar, and we had the opportunity to play on stage in a packed Ramsay Hall. This was the perfect opportunity for the band to play all the pieces that we had been working so hard on. In Term 4, Lane Cove Council invited the College to play at The Canopy which was an amazing opportunity for the Intermediate Concert Band to play for our local community. It was a tremendously successful performance in which we were able to showcase our favourite pieces, including ‘Sweet Caroline’, ‘The Best of Queen’, ‘Viva la Vida’ and ‘Build me up Buttercup’. I was very proud of how musically the band played and how the students represented the College with such distinction.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with these young musicians this year and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the students in the Intermediate Concert Band for such a rewarding and fun year of music making. I have witnessed the students grow in confidence and competence and as a result the Intermediate Concert Band has vastly improved throughout 2022. Playing an instrument has taught the students to work together as a team and to develop a sense of empathy with others. It has given them the opportunity to express themselves and to unleash their creativity.

To those students moving up to senior ensembles, thank you all for your contribution this year and to students remaining in the Intermediate Concert Band, I look forward to another successful year in 2023.

Riverview Big Band

MR PETER WATTERS

It has been a busy and productive time for the Riverview Big Band, with several performances throughout the year. The Big Band has welcomed new members on percussion, trumpet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, bass guitar and voice, and all of

the students have worked hard to create a full and cohesive big band sound.

Our first performance for 2022 was at the Co-Curricular assembly, where the Big Band played the Queen hit, ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’. At Riverview in Concert, we performed three pieces to an appreciative audience, the inspiring theme song ‘Gonna

Fly Now’ from Rocky, the Van Morrison classic ‘Moondance’, and the funky sounds of Stevie Wonder’s ‘Sir Duke’. The Music Gala Evening saw the Big Band perform the Billy Field classic ‘Bad Habits’ and ‘Feeling Good’ as made famous by Michael Buble. The Jesuit Mission Bazaar gave the Big Band a chance to perform their new repertoire, as well as old favourites.

BIG BAND Back Row: Zachary Dockney, Ambrose Hennessy, Oliver Gunns, Cormac Kelly Middle Row: Charlie Hennessy-Bowden, Lachlan Mauleon, Hamish Grover, Thomas Hartman, Julian Sammour, Daniel Osborne Seated: Sean Mckeon, Jack Caine, Jack Treacy, Max Ghiazza, Lachlan Easdown, Oliver Ell, Ahran Grimes

For the Valete Assembly, the Big Band again performed ‘Feeling Good’. This was an opportunity to showcase our year 12 students including Lachlan Easedown (Tenor Saxophone 1) Oliver Ell (Trumpet 1) Max Ghiazza (Bass Guitar) and Jack Treacy (Vocals), who have been a valuable part of the Big Band and we wish them all the best for the future.

This year, we were invited by the Lane Cove Council to perform at the Canopy. This was a wonderful opportunity to display the talents of our Riverview musicians to the wider community. The boys entertained the crowd with energy and professionalism and I was very proud of their efforts.

I look forward to working with the Big Band again in 2023.

Intermediate Stage Band

MR SAM GILL

The Intermediate Stage Band has had a creative and productive year. The band has grown in size through the year, allowing us to explore a variety of jazz big-band repertoire. The band members have applied themselves with dedication and enthusiasm, developing an understanding of jazz and funk styles.

The band’s first performance for the year was at Riverview In Concert. We played two pieces - Richard Berry’s R&B classic ‘Louie, Louie’, most famously recorded by The Kingsmen, followed by the soul-jazz hit ‘Mercy, Mercy’, Mercy, written by Josef Zawinul and made famous by Cannonball Adderley’s band in the 60s. These two songs were also performed at The Jesuit Mission Bazaar in Term 3.

In the later stages of the year, the band has also been developing three new pieces we are yet to perform: John Edmondson’s ‘Down For The Count’, a medium-tempo swing tune with exciting unison solo sections performed by the trumpet and saxophone sections; the standard show tune ‘How High The Moon’ featuring a catchy latin-jazz groove that

transforms into a swinging middle section; and Count Basie’s ‘Jive At Five’ another catchy swing melody the band will further explore in 2023.

I commend all of the band-members for their wonderful work through the year.

Drumline

MR LUKE THATCHER

It has been a successful year for the Drumline. After a long hiatus due to COVID, the Drumline worked hard to build back their technical skills and learn new pieces such as ‘4-Cadence’, ‘ADM’, and ‘Beat Factory’. They also improved on some of their other traditional cadences.

The Drumline was fortunate to be asked to perform for many important College events, including the big Riverview vs Joeys football match, and they were appreciated by audiences everywhere they went. Many new students have joined the Drumline this year as well, due to the increase in the ensemble’s popularity.

It has been a pleasure working with the Drumline this year. The boys have been hardworking and keen on improving their skills. I am pleased with their achievements this year and I hope their passion continues to grow in the future.

Emmanuel Guitar Ensemble

MR RICHARD CICHOCKI

The Emmanuel Guitar Ensemble is for students from Year 7 to Year 11 who play a repertoire of music from Classical to Latin and popular styles. The students performed at Riverview in Concert and the Jesuit Mission Bazaar. The repertoire has included some pieces from the classical period to contemporary styles including ‘Turkish Rondo’, ‘Tijuana Taxi’ and ‘Going Home’ by Mark Knoffler.

All the students involved have enjoyed playing in the Emmanuel Guitar ensemble. They have acquired some great skills such as improvising and technical achievement. We also have Bass Guitar which has enhanced the overall sound of the ensemble. Great skills and friendships are made in the Ensemble and we will continue to build on this strong foundation next year.

SPORTS PROGRAM CO-ORDINATORS:

MR TIM ROSS AND

MR NATHAN STREMPEL

Emerging from two pandemic-affected seasons, the anticipation and excitement for the 2022 season was at an all-time high. With the never-ending lockdowns and restrictions behind us, there could be nothing to stop us from having an uninterrupted season of footy. However, La Nińa had other ideas… the wettest few months Sydney has ever recorded happened right at the beginning of our AFL season, putting restrictions on us once again!

The unprecedented rain saw the majority of the trial period conducted on hard surfaces and in classrooms, with our first field session happening in the 3rd week of pre-season on 1st Field - very disheartening circumstances, especially considering the fact we were unable to complete the past two seasons. Despite this, the attendance and effort across all age groups during this trial period was simply outstanding. These sessions seemed to foster a great sense of culture amongst the playing group, as well as sharpened skills that would sometimes be overlooked at field sessions. The resilience and flexibility shown by the players during this very difficult period set us up for what was a very successful and enjoyable season.

The 1st XVIII led the program from the front with an impressive display of footy and the development of an all-inclusive culture. They led some fantastic new initiatives including the introduction of the Indigenous jerseys, as well as being involved in the AFL’s inaugural Independent Schools Finals Series. An undefeated regular season, as well as a dominant semi-final win, resulted in a grand final match against arch rivals Newington. This was truly a magnificent occasion for the boys, with the match played at Netstrata Jubillee Stadium in front of a large crowd, which included many Riverview boys cheering them on. The boys rose to the occasion, playing by far their best game of the season to come out on top 73-18, claiming the first ever Independent Schools Premiership!

The team’s success can definitely be attributed to this year’s Open group, who were led by our fearless Co-Captains Cooper Donald and Byron Laws. Additionally, it can also be attributed to the tremendous guidance of new 1st XVIII Coach Mark Drinkwater, who brought such a great level of professionalism to the program that inspired both the players and coaches to push for more. More importantly, Mark made some fantastic contributions towards our already strong and unique AFL community. This was seen with him introducing an all-age group activity to finish our Monday afternoon training sessions, which saw 7-10s players teaming up with Opens players. This was truly a fantastic sight to behold, with this all-inclusive style of training emulating exactly what Riverview AFL strives to achieve in all aspects of the program.

Where this unique AFL community really shines though is our family involvement, which sees them not only attend games in force, but also fulfil a wide variety of game day duties including Age Group Manager, Team Manager, Assistant Coach as well as umpiring duties. The inclusion of families in the program is something that we are so appreciative and proud of.

This season we were extremely proud of the incredible contributions of our passionate AFL coaching staff. Sam Austin was fantastic this year as Open’s Age Group Manager and 1st XVIII Assistant Coach, who worked tirelessly to ensure the smooth running of the Opens program. Mr Damien Reidy was once again fantastic with the 2nd XVIII. Damien has such a wealth of knowledge that significantly

helps us develop the program year after year. The introduction of an AFL-dedicated physio Andrew Wild (OR2006) has been a massive addition for the program, with there now being such a great focus on injury prevention and management. And finally, the flexibility and effort shown by all our other coaches this year has been paramount to the successes and enjoyment the teams experience. We cannot express enough gratitude for their unconditional efforts to keep pushing Riverview’s AFL program forward.

With many of the coaches and players returning next season, as well as the addition of some new eager coaches, and the recruitment of many new players to the program, we simply cannot wait to continue the great momentum built this year into the 2023 season.

COACH: MR MARK DRINKWATER

The 2022 AFL season had a totally different look compared to previous years, for both the Sydney School Boys System and for Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview. Previous competitions saw traditionally strong AFL schools beating other less advanced schools by cricket scores every week which was not sustainable nor enjoyable, no matter which side of the ledger you sat.

The AFL made the decision to combine both schoolboys’ competitions and invited the best performing schools from previous years to join a “super league”.

The tier below would basically become our seconds competition and opens for some schools who were still developing their AFL programs.

Another new layer to the revamped “super comp” was the introduction of a finals series for the first time in the history of school boys AFL. The top four schools at the completion

of the season won the right to play off and the remaining two teams competed in the Grand Final at the newly reformed Kogarah Oval. The winner of the Grand Final would be crowned Sydney School Boys Champions.

The final layer was the introduction of a State Final, where the winners of their respective Grand Finals were invited to compete in Canberra for State Honors.

Personally, l believe all the above were wonderful initiatives from the AFL, with the Grand Final and State Championships on offer, all teams had additional motivation to succeed.

I previously alluded to the fact that Riverview’s own AFL program also went through some major transformations. Our Sports Program Co-ordinator and Head Coach moved onto other challenges in their respective lives which created several challenges and early teething issues for not only the players but us Coaches and Sports Program Co-ordinators.

From these challenges grew opportunities as, we were able to totally revamp our game plan, raise expectations, commitment, and standards.

Not everyone likes change, it took some frank and honest chats amongst our leadership

group and coaches early in pre-season for everyone to close the book on previous standards and to start writing our own AFL 2022 biography.

“The Brand”

We decided early in the pre-season that we needed to revamp our ball movement and create a new Riverview Brand. An exciting, fast, fluid, creative and very risky brand of football.

A Brand that once embraced and mastered would be enjoyable to play, exciting to watch and very hard for oppositions to combat.

A Brand that isn’t played by any other school in the competition.

A Brand that would be identifiable through our ranks, a Brand that anyone watching our games would say “you can tell that’s a Riverview team by the Brand they are playing’’. We still have some work to do for the Brand to filter down through all the years and coaches, but we are off to a good start; the foundation is in place but it’s a work in progress.

After approximately three games into the season a pattern was clearly revealing itself: ⁄ We were capable of mastering the new Brand, but it would take some time

⁄ Some players would struggle with the speed required to make Opens and fit into the new jigsaw we were slowly putting together. We needed to look deeper into our AFL program, re-visit our recruiting and identify Year 9 and 10 boys capable of the step up into Opens.

⁄ We needed to get fitter. The boys who played club were okay but as a group we were a mile behind where we needed to be if we were to produce the Brand of football l wanted Riverview to play – this also took some time.

The Opens continued to win games, sometimes producing the Brand for only a quarter here and there. Eventually that quarter here and there developed into a half, until late in the season it just clicked.

Our off-field team did a lot of work on ‘’timing our run” – getting the boys just right when we hit the finals. Rest and refreshing some players, whilst working others hard to increase individual fitness and skill base. I think anyone who was fortunate enough to watch our finals series would attest to the fact we got it right.

Our collective finals margin of Riverview = 214 points v 26 (Cranbrook and Newington) is testament to the players’ steely resolve and behind the scenes work of the off-field staff.

Approximately 33 players were given the opportunity to play Opens in 2022. The fact we went through the season undefeated and were still able to expose so many players speaks volumes about our systems. Players were able to come in and do their job because of our amazing leadership group supporting them.

For the record we had 15 Year 12s, 9 Year 11s, 6 Year 10s and amazingly 3 Year 9s all contributing to what was an incredible 2022 season.

State Finals

We eventually went down by 8 points but we couldn’t be prouder of the players, they represented Saint Ignatius Riverview with fantastic sportsmanship and honor.

Every one of the Sports Program Co-ordinators and Coaches were amazing, supportive, enthusiastic and committed. Their energy and passion inspires the players.

2nd XVIII

COACH: MR DAMIEN REIDY

At the beginning of the season persistent inclement weather played havoc with our preparation plans and most of our sessions were held on Third Yard. Despite the lessthan-ideal circumstances the boys displayed plenty of enthusiasm and a willingness to listen, learn and embrace team culture.

At the end of term and during the ensuing holiday period we played two friendly games against Shore School and Knox College. Both games provided coaches with ample opportunity to try players in several positions, road test tactical configurations, and develop cohesion.

What became apparent was the boys were improving incrementally, enjoying themselves and bonding as a group. Consequently, we faced the season with hope, expectation, and determination. Our performances throughout the season were always encouraging, sometimes frustrating but most enjoyable.

Playing against 1st XVIII selections from both Redlands School and Barker College proved daunting but the boys embraced challenge

and whilst defeated gained much credit and learnt many life lessons. The most satisfying performance certainly was our second last game against Newington College. In a riproaring contest we trailed for most of the game. Bloody-mindedness, a never say die attitude and excellent execution allowed us to remain in contention and in the last five minutes two wonderful pieces of skill from Sam Hynes ensured we emerged victorious. The sense of achievement and jubilation afterwards was palpable.

From a coaching perspective watching individual players improve their skills and conditioning through diligent application was most pleasing. The boys displayed an intuitive understanding for the game and when presented with pressure situations responded in a calm and assertive manner. Reviewing our season retrospectively I would categorise it as a success, but it irks me to say that with greater commitment to training - particularly during the second half of the season - we could have performed even better.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Owen O’Carroll and Lukas Zaknic who received the Best and Fairest and Most Improved Award respectively. Both boys embodied the integrity, commitment, sense of fair play and honesty that we feel are the qualities that underpin our program.

Finally, I want to wish all our Year 12 students every success in the Higher School Certificate examinations and every happiness and fulfilment in life after school. To the younger boys I hope you learnt much from your experiences and will lead the program next year honourably.

Basketball

SPORTS PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR:

MR TOM GARLEPP

The 21/22 Basketball season will be remembered as one marred by regular and unfortunate weather. With this said, I feel it is important to acknowledge the efforts of grounds and facility staff led by Mr White and Mrs Mitchell, as well as Mr O’Brien, for consistent early morning efforts to bring the courts to a playable state. These were often efforts ruined as they were followed by an immediate downpour, so undoubtedly frustrating for all involved. Regardless, thank you all very much for doing your best to give Riverview basketballers a chance to play after an interrupted few years.

Wet weather aside, the enthusiasm for basketball was palpable amongst the boys when we did have a chance to play. Smiles were rife and some significant strides were made across the program with respect to the focus of our teams for the season. This focus was for basketball to be the benchmark of enjoyment and inclusivity. Our coaches were instructed to move away from long lines and long speeches and keep the kids playing games and “coaching on the fly” to develop skills where necessary. Thanks to our coaches for their buy-in with this.

Across all age groups, Riverview Basketball continued their strong tradition of successful program-wide results. In all age groups from 13s to Opens, we won more than 65% of games played. Our 13s and 14s age groups were particularly strong, and through the coaches placing particular emphasis on footwork and competing the right way, the boys made significant improvements in their foundational level skills that they can build on for success during the latter stages of their time within the sport. Special mention to our 14A boys who returned an undefeated season (drawing their match against Shore) in GPS rounds, also finishing runners up in the King’s Shield with an overtime loss to Shore.

The 15s and 16s performances were also a point of pride for the program. The addition of former national junior panel coach Warren Pink as head coach of the 15As was one which benefited the whole program. Most notable though, was the development of the

15A and 15B side. Coach Pink and 15B coach Henry Anderson provided a framework of development for these boys that will put them in great stead for future years. The 16s age group was the school’s most dominant in terms of wins and losses, with the 16As and Bs both recording regular comprehensive wins. Special mentions to the 15Bs and player Tyler Hartman with his play of the year in a huge buzzer beater late in the season, and Josh Flanagan who provided excellent mentorship to the undefeated 16A side. Josh will be taking a break from basketball next season, but his impact across the program was considerable, and he will hopefully return soon!

Opens basketball returned similar results to our 16s, with regular triumphs and games always played with great sportsmanship and spirit. Of note was the 10th team’s epic game against Newington in front of a 100 strong crowd on Therry Court One. With the Gartlan rendered unplayable due to the dew point index leaving floors too slick, supporters flocked to Therry Courts to cheer on the 10ths. With Team and College Captain, James Craig, providing a rousing speech in front of teammates, peers and the school band, the build-up to this game was not dissimilar to any State of Origin or Ashes type battle. A Jack Morton 3-point shot sealed the match (*the only 3-point make of the match*), and so it was the mighty Riverview 10ths that ran away with this one, 43-8, in a game that will echo through the annals of Ignatian sporting lore.

Finally, some notable achievements within the program from a broader basketball perspective. Bailey Hanson (Year 8) and Bol Diing (Year 9) took significant leaps forward in their basketball journeys across 21/22. Both students were selected into the State

Performance Program, and as reserves for the U16 State team. The boys received these selections as bottom aged players within the U16 age group, meaning they have positioned themselves for further state representation within the age group the following year, pending continued application and improvement. The selection of these two boys speaks to the promise they have shown within the sport of basketball. Both Bailey (2nds) and Bol (1sts) were regular members of the senior basketball, and we look forward to their continued representation of both Riverview and NSW basketball.

COACH: MR TOM GARLEPP

6th Place | GPS Competition

The 21/22 season was not one for the faint of heart, nor for those who crave certainty. The 1st V side boasted a squad of 13 players who were all deserving of selection week on week, and who could challenge the most talented sides in the GPS. The 20/21 side, which had finished 3rd, had a starting five largely made up of Year 12s, so the group was immediately faced with challenges surrounding who would step into the roles vacated by high calibre seniors. There were some pleasant discoveries and performances from a host of players amongst this team who managed to find their feet towards the latter stage of the GPS season in Term 1.

Much of the Term 3 discourse around planning and anticipation amongst the extended GPS squad and coaches took place over Zoom. Players focussed as much as they could on being the best they could be in their approach to whenever competitive practices or games would commence. By week three of Term 4, age groups were able to commence training together, and before anyone had time to process this development, the 1st V squad was engaged in a slate of pre-season games against Redlands, Knox, Waverley, Trinity and Newington. Riverview won 5 out of 6 of these contests, with a particularly special victory against Knox taking place on a Thursday evening in the Gartlan. Led by Charles Ballhausen (30 pts), this win generated much needed enthusiasm and belief that basketball was truly back in action and provided an understanding that Saint Ignatius’ was capable of competing, and besting, the better sides in NSW.

The Summer school holidays saw the boys participate in senior squad team camp which rolled straight into the Trinity cup. The 1st side finished second in their pool with a comprehensive victory over Cranbrook, a buzzer beating victory over Trinity courtesy of a fallaway corner three by Charles Ballhausen, and narrow losses to Moriah and Scots, eventually bowing out in the quarter finals.

The official GPS season was one of ups and downs. On the back of an in-team COVID outbreak, the team got off to a rocky start with a 24-point loss to Scots. This was followed by a terrific bounce back 27pt win over Sydney Boys High. After several weeks of narrow defeats, the 1st V recorded two results of significant positivity in a 104-98 overtime win against Joeys, and a 5-point loss against the dominant Newington side. In the overtime win, at St Joseph’s, Max Threlkeld poured in 27 pts and made some heroic plays to lead the side, and Charles Cook (16 pts) was the standout player against Newington.

The team finished in 6th place which was below what was possible for the group, but it was still a season filled with many highlights that represented their persistence through difficult circumstances. A final individual accolade to wrap up a rollercoaster year was the selection of Charles Ballhausen into the GPS 1st V side. A deserved nod to his leadership and work ethic across not only season 21/22, but his three years as a member of the Riverview 1st V.

Award winners for the 21/22 season were secured by the following individuals:

Charles Ballhausen – Best Trainer across 1sts & 2nds: a player with a dogged work ethic who not only lifted himself, but inspired his peers to reach further and beyond their normal boundaries.

Cooper Donald – Players’ Player: overcame devastating injury to find a way onto the first

side and provide quality contributions across three matches.

Max Threlkeld – Best Defensive Player: despite missing much of the season with injury, Max put forth some valiant defensive efforts demonstrating his prowess as a stopper of the strongest players in the GPS.

Byron Laws – MVP: Developing into a consistent force on both ends of the floor, Byron’s rapid ascension as a competitor and teammate was a point of pride for Riverview basketball.

2nd V

COACH: MR NATHAN STREMPEL

Equal 2nd Place | GPS Competition

Straight out of lockdown flying into a shortened season this was a 2nd V team that had to find their identity quickly. The season was summarised eloquently by Captain Archie Ekert at the end of season dinner.

“I had the honour to captain the 2nd V Basketball team throughout this tremendous season. Walking through the Gartlan at the start of the season, knowing for a lot of us boys that it was going to be our last season, was quite emotional. I wanted us to leave a mark that represents what we are all about: being ‘men for others.’ In the 2nds, that’s one thing we strived for, leaving places better than we found them.

We kick-started the season with COVID smacking us in the face for round 1 and going down by 1 point to Scots, keeping in mind we had a total of seven boys at training throughout that week. The following week we went down again to Sydney Boys High - if you were at that game, I’m sorry. As the great 2nds team we are, we knew something had to change quickly if we wanted to have a shot at

the premiership. I still don’t know if it was Perko’s Vulture gee-up speech that sent shivers down our spines or Stremps making us run after every missed shot that flipped the switch, but we then went on a four-run winning streak. Beating Shore, (special mention to Grebe carrying us with 26 points) and then Grammar in a dominant performance. Followed by Joeys in a nail biter in front of a furious crowd. Finally a shot at the Premiership after beating Kings in a ripper of a game mid-week with Will Hayes not missing from the 3-point line late in the 4th. Unfortunately the dice didn’t roll our way vs Newington and a 5 point loss left us just short of the Premiership, tying in second place with Scots.”

I was grateful for the balance of skill sets and selflessness amongst this group. Bailey Hanson’s poise as a Year 8 playing Opens basketball. Pat Pearman’s maturity and work ethic. Max Quinn’s relentless attack of the offensive glass. Akol Akol’s selfless attitude. Toby Ryan’s execution and dedication to playing his role. Tristan Dardis’s craftiness and ability to get to the hoop. Will Hayes’ and Antonio Hartman’s lockdown defence and deadly shooting. Valuable cameos from Will Cashion, Luke Fish, Marco Franich, Harry Grebe and Henry Franklin.

Individual accolades wouldn’t have been possible for this group if not for the support from the collective whole. However, the award winners were as follows:

Max ‘Lion’ Toohey – Most Improved: with grit and determination taking him from out of the side to our most important player.

Archie Ekert – Players’ Player: acknowledged by his peers as the catalyst that brought this group together.

Will ‘Vulture’ Perkins - MVP: With only 4 votes between the top 5 it was Will’s contagious energy in all facets of the game that saw him named the 2022 2nd V MVP.

While this group fell just short of their on-court goals, I feel the students created connections off the court that will last for many years to come.

SPORTS PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR:

MR NICK BOUSIE

2022 was certainly a season to remember for many different reasons on many different fronts. The Senior coaches have given a wonderful account of their season in their Season Reports.

Cricket had been hit hard for numbers by the increasingly popular Basketball Program, so it was no surprise when I took on the role as Program Coordinator that numbers were at an all time low. With that being said, it is my role now to build up the program and help work to bring the skills back up to where they should be.

The early part of the season, as we are all aware, had been impacted by the COVID lockdown restrictions. This left us with only one trial vs Newington on November 30th, which was unfortunately cancelled due to a College-wide lockdown prior to the game - so all players went into 2022 without a ball being bowled.

Fast forward to the first two weeks of the 2022 season and we were all excited about getting back to normal. From then on the heavens opened and we lost four games to rain across the College. Looking back at the season the players did not get a chance to build into the season and gather momentum. We had numerous cancellations due to rain and most teams spent more time in the Gartlan nets than ever before. As a College it was a disappointing season and much work needs to be done in the off-season.

On a brighter note it was wonderful to have won the premiership with the 1st XI, the eighth title and final for Mr James Rodgers before he retired this year. I thank James for the work he has put into the program in the GPS squad. As a send off, a wonderful farewell game was played where he assembled some of his favourite players from years past to play against the current 1st XI . The sun finally came out and it was a fittingly fabulous afternoon to thank James for his contributions to Riverview Cricket.

Our aim is for each and every one of the boys to become the best cricketer they can be, but more importantly to enjoy the game. A major role in achieving this comes from the coaches. Ensuring each session provides the boys a fun, competitive learning environment allows them to develop and improve their game, while enjoying their training sessions

and playing with their mates on the weekend. I thank the coaches for their hard work in achieving this and their enthusiasm to help give back to the school and the game.

Additionally, I would like to thank Mr. Szabo and Mr. O’Brien for their continuous support of cricket and the organisation of match fixtures; the umpires for their commitment during the long days standing out in the sun; and the groundsman for putting together playable pitches in tough conditions.

Lastly, I would like to thank all the parents, who went beyond just being present to support your son’s Saturday sport, which in itself would be enough, but for also helping with scoring.

I wish all the Year 12 boys the very best for the future. I hope they can enjoy the experience of playing cricket around the world and making new friends along the way. To the students returning next season I look forward to working with you again and may the season 2022-23 be just as successful on and off the field.

Thanks to all coaches and boys for a memorable season.

GPS Cricket representative, Gabriel Quoyle with 1st XI Coach, Mr James Rodgers

Premiers | GPS Competition

The last over of the last innings of the last game of the season.

At the beginning of this over, the competition points stood at Newington 26 (they had won with bonus points earlier in the afternoon), Kings 24, Riverview 20.

Shadows lengthen over the Kings ground; the scoreboard clock shows 5.35pm; the scoreboard shows Kings 9 for 188 chasing Riverview’s 6-199. Numbers 10 and 11, Yaffe and Oxenham, batting.

Six balls. Kings need 12 to win. Riverview needs one wicket.

The ball is in the reliable hands of Harri Hartnell. He knows where to bowl. He knows where his field should be. He thinks clearly. The outfield is quick. The boundaries invitingly close.

First ball: Full of length, outside off stump. Yaffe’s massive swing at the ball fails to make a connection. The ball nestles in Nassif’s gloves. 5 balls. 12 to win.

Second ball: Yaffe’s tries a mighty heave over mid wicket. A confident appeal for a catch behind. Umpire slowly shakes his head. 4 balls. 12 to win.

Third ball: Hartnell misses his line slightly. From leg stump, Yaffe’s hits high into the legside. Mackey’s despairing leap on the boundary fails to connect with the ball. Six! 3 balls. 6 to win. Protracted conversations. Slight field adjustments. Three on the legside boundary; two on the distant off side boundary; four fielders push in hard off the ring.

Fourth ball: Yaffe, eyeing out the leg side boundary again, swings hard. The ball flies off the edge to 3rd man. One run. Billy Rogers’ quick throw prevents the second run. 2 balls. 5 to win.

Fifth ball: Full on off stump. Oxenham digs it out and runs one to cover. 1 ball. 4 to win. Directed conversation between Hartnell, Grover and Sidhu sets the field and the type of delivery for the last ball. Batsmen meet and determine where the last ball has to be hit. 3 runs is a tie which will see the premiership

go to Newington. 0 or 1 or 2 runs is a win to Riverview and a co-premiership.

Sixth ball: Full, outside off stump. Yaffe backs away, attempting to hit it over cover. It bounces to Grover at extra cover. Grover runs to the bowler’s stumps, removes the bails as Yaffe turns for the second. Run out! Chaos! Riverview wins by 2 runs. Premiership.

This was a season that began in August with Zoom meetings and guest speakers and fitness sessions; a season of disruptions and obstacles which could have broken better sides. COVID regulations, injuries, unavailabilities, torrential rain. The team managed to overcome each and to triumph.

My grateful thanks to so many who played a part in this extraordinary premiership. To my co-coaches Rhys Williams and Brett Benkenstein. To our indomitable scorer, Peter Steffan. To those who worked behind the scenes, Nick Bousie, Andrew Szabo, Paul O’Brien. To our 2nds players and their most supportive coaches, Bennett Walsh and Joe O’Sullivan. To our parents, so encouraging and never doubting us. To our players who played to the utmost extents of their ability and belief and who were so well and memorably rewarded with Riverview’s fourteenth 1st Premiership.

2nd XI Cricket

COACH: MR BENNETT WALSH

4th Place | GPS Competition

The 2nd XI performed admirably throughout a campaign that presented many challenges. After a strong start to the season, rounds 4, 5 and 6 were all abandoned due to wet conditions, which unfortunately removed the side from premiership contention. Despite having limited opportunity, this team played some outstanding cricket, and were unwavering in their positivity and commitment. Every time COVID-19 or injury setbacks occurred, new members were welcomed into the side and made significant contributions, indicative of a fantastic team culture and depth of cricketing talent at the school.

Round 1 was undoubtedly a highlight. A narrow win over a strong Scots outfit was the perfect start. Batting first on a challenging wicket, a dogged lower order partnership from Nick Newton (46*) and Will Mason (22*)

got the side to a competitive total of 186. An outstanding team fielding effort and 3 wickets to Will Southon proved enough to grasp an impressive victory, dismissing Scots for 176.

Round 2 provided another tense game. After losing the toss and being asked to bat first, a flurry of early wickets saw the 2nd XI in big trouble against Sydney High. Micah Nassif (84) then launched an astonishing counterattack in the standout batting performance of the season. His imperious strokeplay advanced Riverview to a respectable total of 150. Captain Paddy Ward then led from the front with the ball, taking 3 key wickets to ensure Riverview won the match.

Round 3 presented a third tight fixture in succession. With Nassif deservedly promoted to the 1st XI, the onus was on the other batsmen to step up. Peter Spring (44) and Oscar Sinclair (31) answered the call with an important first innings partnership. With 146 to defend, a strong bowling and fielding effort was required. After an enthralling afternoon of cricket, the ninth wicket fell on 139, with Shore requiring 8 runs for victory. The Shore batsmen did an excellent job to hold their nerve, winning the game in the 49th over. Though disappointed after their first loss, the side showed great character to stay engaged

in the contest, and thoroughly enjoyed being part of a fantastic game of cricket.

After a series of exciting fixtures, what came next was anticlimactic. The 2nd XI was hungry to bounce back after round 3, but the weather had other ideas. No more cricket was played until the final round of the season, where a lack of match practice proved costly. An impressive performance by Kings, the eventual premiers, saw Riverview comprehensively defeated in round 7.

In the face of inclement weather, the side demonstrated an untiring work ethic during the second half of the season. This group of young men possessed a perpetual willingness to learn, making them a pleasure to coach. It was a joy to watch them progress. With plenty of younger team members returning next season, the future of Riverview cricket is very bright. I am confident the departing Year 12 players will enjoy success in the future, both in cricket and beyond.

Cross Country

SPORTS PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR: MS CATHALINA WALSH

The cross-country team continued to grow and had a successful season across all age groups. It was the first time in the past 10 years that the College was able to field teams across all age groups with many boys placing in the top 20 each week at the GPS invitationals. Special recognition to Harry Grant who placed in the top 10 each week of the GPS invitationals.

The successful season was reflected in the greatest number of boys at the College ever selected to a CIS team. The selection was across all the age groups including Jerome Nearhos in the multi class event, who were selected to represent the College and the GPS at the NSW CIS Cross Country Championships Sydney, Motorsport Park. This was a special championship for Captain Marc Girard who had been a part of the program for the past three years and was instrumental in recruiting his fellow mates to help build the program. Marc competed in his final CIS Cross Country Championship at the College with his younger brother Joseph Girard (Year 7) who was also selected in the junior team. Congratulations to Marc Girard and Harry Grant who went on to advance to the State Cross Country Championships.

Congratulations to the 2022 Riverview Cross Country team members selected to represent the GPS secondary schools at the NSW CIS Cross Country Championships!

The cross-country team showed the College’s commitment to giving back and serving the wider community by participating in the Humpty Dumpty Children’s Charity Balmoral Burn - Head of The Hill Senior School Interschool Challenge Cup Relay event with the team placing 3rd. Congratulations and thank you to all the boys and families who gave up their time on Sunday to participate. Thank you, for the tremendous support, to those who already donated.

Fencing

SPORTS PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR: MR ANDREW SZANDURSKI

2022 was a year we all enjoyed coming back to normal fencing training routines with no more lockdowns, restrictions, or competitions cancellations. All Riverview fencers appreciated returning to fencing training on Monday, Tuesday and Saturday.

This year we focused on preparation for the new competition season including the NSW Schools Championships, Schools Competition and State Championship. We also planned a series of training and competition with students from SBHS, SAC and Barker Collage. Our aim when we trained has always been not only to improve fencing techniques and strategies but also to build strength and resilience within ourselves.

We also welcomed new students who have worked with senior fencers. As a result of hard team work and friendly cooperation, junior fencers have made visible progress in their skills.

At the end of Term 1 Riverview fencers participated in the Open Season Schools Championship. In the U14 Division, Eric Sallway achieved 2nd place, Ethan Francis was 3rd and Arhan Grimes came 4th.

In Terms 2 and 3, Riverview fencers took part in the NSW Schools League Championship Team and Individual events, the Roberta Nutt Championship, and Riverview Fencing Championship. In the NSW Schools League Championship, our U14 team of Eric Sallway, Cooper Clarke, and Henry Turnbull won

the Bronze medal. In the individual events, James Groundwater won the Bronze medal in the U16 and Cooper Clarke won the Bronze medal in the U14. In the NSW Roberta Nutt Schools Championships - qualifications for National Championship - James Groundwater won the Silver medal.

It was a great season. Congratulations to all students for their effort and teamwork, and a big thank you to parents for their constant support.

Football

SPORTS PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR : MR PAT FERRARA

Football in 2022 - I fantasised about this back in lockdown. Long days in isolation were spent dreaming of an uninterrupted season… and we got it! But not quite as intended, because Mother Nature threw up another curve ball with record amounts of rain. Despite the difficulties faced, the boys didn’t stop training and working hard - often on basketball or tennis courts - but it resulted in a clear improvement in ball mastery across the program.

Since the 2021 season, the College has implemented a football playing and coaching philosophy with a focus on educating and developing the students to play a technical and possession-based style of football. We looked at ways to further develop this, structuring the program and developing periodisation plans for footballers from Year 5 to Year 12. This allowed us to track the development of our players and tailor our

program to get the best out of each year group as the season progressed.

It was a busy year for the 1st and 2nd teams, with involvement in CIS Cup, St Andrew’s Cup, the pre-season Plate and GPS Competitions. The 1st XI had a successful start to the season with victory in the Plate Final with captain Stefano Rosello scoring a sensational freekick to secure victory in the final against Newington. Early season form did not continue into Term 3 for the 1st team and they were unable to retain the Wanderer’s Shield.

Our 2nd XI started slowly in the Plate Competition and GPS season, however from round 2 the team went to another level staying undefeated for the remainder of the season, including victories against Shore, Kings, SBHS, Joeys, and Newington, on the final day, to secure the premiership! Congratulations to the players, who demonstrated a strong culture of continuous growth and a desire to play for each other.

The College had 5 GPS representatives this season, who represented the GPS at the CIS Football Championships. Congratulations to Alex Appino and Marcus Kulukovski for their selection to the GPS U16 team and to Sam

Donohoe, Stefano Rosello and Max Walker for their selection into the GPS 1st Representative team. Well done to Max Walker for his CIS Opens Representative team selection!

In 2022, the College was able to field teams down to the 8th XI. These teams demonstrated strong College spirit this season. The 3rds finished the season particularly strong, undefeated in their final 4 games, the 7th XI enjoyed a five-game wins streak and the 8th XI lost only once throughout the entire season.

The Under 16s enjoyed a successful season with many boys from the 16As being rewarded and selected in the 1st and 2nd XI teams this year. The 16B won all but 2 games, 16C going undefeated, 16D losing only on the final day to Newington and the 16E demonstrating great growth throughout the season.

The Under 15s demonstrated the greatest amount of growth this season. The U15A only lost its final game of the season against Newington, being extremely tough to beat in 2022. The 15Ds demonstrated an amazing amount of growth over the last two seasons, winning two games this season, while 15C and 15B demonstrated great development and enjoyed great victories against Shore.

GPS OPEN FOOTBALL REPRESENTATIVES Standing: Mr James Magill, Samuel Donohoe, Mr Peter Steffan Seated: Marcus Kulukovski, Max Walker, Stefano Rossello, Daniel El’Hazouri

The Under 14s continued where they left off last season, playing a fantastic brand of possession football. The 14As won six games during the season including a fantastic win against Sydney Grammar, and 14Bs almost went undefeated, only to lose on the final day. The 14C, 14D and 14E fought hard throughout the season and supported each other, backing up during a winter season full of injury and illness. The 14s demonstrated great passion and enthusiasm in 2022!

This Under 13s age group is an extremely talented year group and great fun! The 13As played at an extremely high standard and were blowing all other teams away in the first half of the season. The 13Bs were another team that were so close to go through the season only suffering defeat on the final day. The 13C

demonstrated that they could match with the best, winning five games in the GPS season. The 13E and 13F were fantastic throughout, demonstrating great improvement over the course of the season. Congratulations goes to the 13Ds who went through the season undefeated playing some scintillating football and scoring worldies every week!

I wish to congratulate St Joseph’s College for their victory in the 1st Grade premiership. Thank you to Mr Chris Kitching for his tireless work as the GPS Football Convener and to Mr Paul O’Brien and Mr Andrew Szabo for their continued support in 2022. To all Year 12 students, the football program wishes you all the best in your future and thanks you for your great service. See you in 2023

4th Place | GPS Competition

The 2022 Football season saw the resumption of play following the premature end of the previous season. Riverview’s senior team played in the GPS Premiership, GPS Plate, St. Andrew’s Cup and CIS Cup.

The team’s tally of wins in the St Andrew’s Cup and CIS Football Cup Competitions belied their efforts, and while both campaigns ended with a whimper rather than a bang, they were simply warm ups for a much more successful GPS Plate Competition.

The season opening 1st XI GPS Plate match between Riverview at home to Shore featured goals in both halves to the home side and a 2-0 win. The second match with Kings was a high scoring affair finishing 6-4 to Riverview. Round 3 brought Riverview to play St Joseph’s College at their Lower Park, with a 3-3 result that propelled them into the Plate Final with

GPS Competition

The first round of the GPS Competition saw the Scots team open the scoring inside the first quarter of an hour, with an undaunted Riverview team coming back with goals by James Purcell, Daniel El’Hazouri and Lachlan Iacono to hang on for a hard fought 3-2 win. This result was repeated in the second round at Shore with another 3-2 win. In round 3 the enthusiastic Kings crowd was quietened by Saxon Mitchell, James Purcell and Stefano Rossello featuring in the game, which was won 7-3 by Riverview.

The first match of Term 3 was played midweek at Moore Park synthetic field against a tough High side, which came back from an initial well-worked goal by James Purcell to win the match 2-1. This was followed by a tie against Sydney Grammar at Weigall 4, but the defining moment of the season came in round 6 against St Joseph’s. Despite a hard fight and early goal, the team was unable to beat the competition front runners who effectively ended their defence of the Premiership.

With the Premiership defence out of reach, the Riverview 1st XI turned up to Newington

with bragging rights to play for. The game started well when Captain Stefano Rossello received the ball outside the penalty area, turned his defender twice and shot to the far post, beating the goalie high to his right to open the scoring. However, this lead was short lived with a strong home team dominating the remainder of the game.

The season concluded with the team finishing in a respectable equal third position. Nevertheless, they played some impressive football throughout, and Coach Magill and Captain Stefano Rossello can be proud of their team’s efforts in representing the College.

The Riverview 1st XI comprised of Stefano Rossello (Captain), Sam Donohoe, Max Walker, James Costello, Jake Juric, James Purcell, Saxon Mitchell (Year 12), Daniel El’Hazouri, Domenic Nardi, Toby Mills and Daniel Hopper from (Year 11)and Hugh Kennedy from (Year 10). The 2022 season was the last for Jimmy Magill, whose contribution over 22 years at the College has included winning the previous four Premierships as Coach of the 1st XI and involvement with most of the College’s 1st and 2nd XI Premiership winning teams.

2ND XI MANAGER: MR PETER STEFFAN

Premiers | GPS Competition

The season began for the members of the 2nd XI as it usually does, vying for places in the 1sts XI and contributing to the squads for the early season CIS Cup matches and St Andrew’s Cup preseason tournament.

GPS Plate Season

Very wet conditions and waves of heavy showers greeted the teams as veteran captain Matt Selkrig led the boys of the 2nd XI onto the pitch to commence the GPS Football season. In a game where goals were traded back and forth, the visitors did better than the home side and Shore won 4-3.

By half time in the second match, neither team had been able to penetrate the other’s defences comprehensively enough to score a

goal. Kings were the first to score and did so twice before Riverview pulled one back with the result being 2-1 to Kings.

In Round 3 the Riverview team started well and found a fluency that had been missing in the previous weeks. Alex Appino, Marcus Kulukovski, Alex again and Dylan Mills, scored goals for a 4-0 half time score. Matt Selkrig goaled within 3 minutes of the restart, but then Joeys strengthened their resolve, and it was not until the last 5 minutes of the match that Sam Wright scored twice to lift the Riverview total to 7. Joeys were awarded a penalty in the final minute eventuating in a very pleasing 7-1 result.

GPS Plate Finals Round, intended to be with SGS was cancelled due to weather and ground condition.

GPS Competition

The GPS season proper was off to a less than ideal start when Scots scored three minutes into the match. The 0-3 result was a setback in Riverview’s pursuit of the Premiership. However, it was the last match that the Riverview boys would lose for the season.

In the second-round match at Northbridge the team began well, demonstrating the combination that was in evidence when it was on its game, with crisp passing moving the ball forward. The Riverview team maintained control of the game and held their advantage to run out winners 3-0.

The round 3 match with TKS on Wanderer’s Field was only 5 minutes old when Tom Kalogerou scored for Riverview. Captain, Matt Selkrig, scored twice and Sol Adamcewicz netted one while Kings scored once to bring the game to a 4-1 conclusion.

The first match of term two with SBHS was played mid-week. Both teams approached their task willingly, but by half time the score was still 0-0 and the sideline consensus was that it had been an ugly game up to that point. Goals to Max Joosse, Matt Selkrig and a spectacular free kick from Dom Nardi secured victory in the match and installed the Riverview team in equal first place in a congested premiership table.

The round 5 match with SGS was a particularly tightly contested game and at half time the score remained 0-0. Early in the second half, Riverview scored following a free

kick Grammar later received their own free kick, leading to a goal to score the equaliser.

In the penultimate match of the season Matt Selkrig had a day out, benefitting from the service of team mates to score a hat trick against Joeys, who only managed a single goal.

Coming into the final match of the season, the Riverview team needed a win against the formidable Newington team to secure the Premiership. In a calm and clinical performance the Riverview team scored three times while keeping a clean sheet and in doing so picked up 3 points and overtook Shore to take the Premiership.

This is the Riverview 2nd XI’s eleventh premiership since 1999 and first since 2017. Congratulations to Coach Valerio Silvestri, Captain Matt Selkrig and the team on their success and adding to the rich tradition of the Riverview Football program.

1st Place | Interschools Series

Three favourite songs of mine are ‘Into the Fire’ by Bruce Springsteen, ‘Who’ll Stop the Rain’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival and ‘I Am a Rock’ by Simon and Garfunkel. The 2021/2022 Golf season had me singing those songs quite often. Never before has a season been so affected by outside elements. In Term 4, 2021, the continued presence of COVID meant we were able to train at school two mornings a week, but unfortunately, the Inter-school Golf Competition and golfing at Lane Cove Golf Club was not possible.

With great hope, we commenced Term 1 2022 with renewed enthusiasm. The 1st 1V was able to play three matches against opposition schools and students were able to receive coaching from a professional golfer and play on Saturdays. As we all know, then the rain came. Unfortunately, fields and golf courses were closed and all training and playing were suspended. Even now, while writing this in Term 2, most golf courses are still closed.

Chasing four Interschool premierships in a row was going to be difficult but we felt we had the team to achieve it. Despite defeating Newington 3-1 in our match, we were just one point behind them and Barker College, who were in the other division, with three matches remaining. Those three matches were never completed. The cancellations meant that both Newington and Barker were shared winners of the trophy with Saint Ignatius one point behind in third place.

My congratulations to Captain of Golf, Henry Pagliaro, and to James Thorp, Hamish Grover, Lucas Ballantine, Patrick Maguire, and Ronan Daly who represented the College so well. Special mention to Hamish Grover who remained undefeated in his matches.

I guess we will be left to wonder, what if? We will never know of course.

For all the boys who played golf at a more ‘social’ level, I hope you enjoyed it and I look forward to many of you returning for a more engaging season next time.

I would like to make a special mention of Mr Brian Piper, who has been assisting me in golf for several years and the program would not have been possible without him. His patience with those commencing the sport, and his sense of fun have made him a most valued member of the team.

I look forward to a very active and full season in 2022/2023.

Martial Arts

SPORTS PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR:

MRS MARYANNE HUMPHREY

The 2021/22 Martial Arts season saw a welcome return to an uninterrupted program of training and competition. The Summer season began with an energetic squad keen to develop their strength, agility, and form in preparation for the First Five Saturday Teams Cup competition. Each week the top five competitors from participating schools battle and spar in a bid to determine the overall winner at the end of Term 2. This Year our Saint Ignatius’ squad placed third behind Shore and Sydney Grammar School who won the inaugural Teams Cup.

In a show of unity and determination, the squad under the leadership of Maximus Rossello (Year 11) banded together, cheering for each other’s bouts even when the points were down. In true Ignatian spirit, the boys displayed sportsmanship and discernment in their respectful recognition of their opponent’s wins by congratulating all participants. The summer season ended with a grading session that saw most boys rise in their belt rank. Congratulations to Joshua Yap (Year 10) who achieved his Black Belt.

During the winter season, in addition to weekly training and Saturday Interschools sparring, the Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview Martial Arts Squad attended the 29th NSW All Schools Taekwondo Tournament where approximately 150 competitors participated in this year’s event at Barker College. The Pahlke Cup 1st place was awarded to Sydney Grammar school. Shore College North Sydney placed 2nd, followed by Riverview in 3rd place – a very pleasing result overall. Perpetual trophies were awarded to the following students:

Gold medals:

Julius Rossello (Year 7), Maximus Rossello (Year 11), Elijah Wehrhahn (Year 10), Jack McAvoy (Year 8) and Gruffydd Palmer (Year 11)

Silver medals:

Joshua Yap (Year 10), John Roberts (Year 7) and James Rochaix (Year 10)

Bronze Medal:

Zachary Steel (Year 11)

The best performance on the day was Jack McAvoy who won gold for his division in a fabulous show of talent, producing strong scores against both of his opponents.

According to coach Steve Wyllie, it was the best he had fought all season against very tough opponents.

The Most Valuable Player was Squad Captain Max Rossello, who in addition to achieving impressive results, was also a great support for the entire squad. Between bouts, Max encouraged his teammates by running between mats to cheer and provide great feedback before, during and after each individual fight. Term 3 concluded with Tae Kwon Do grading and the following belts were achieved:

⁄ Julius Rosello Yellow

⁄ Adam Walters Green

⁄ Ellis Hazelton Green Tip

⁄ Jack McAvoy Green

⁄ Gruffyd Palmer Blue Tip

⁄ Elijah Wehrhahn Blue Tip

A short note of thanks to Greg, Steve and Chris Wyllie from Wyllie’s Martial Arts for their expert instruction and dynamic program. Many thanks to Ms Luciana Murphy, Mrs Maya Saka, and Mrs Sandra Kelly for their contribution to training and supervision. Finally, congratulations to all the members of the Martial Arts Squad on another enjoyable year of competition and individual achievement.

Mountain Biking

SPORTS PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR: MR NIROSHEN ABBEY

Unfortunately, the 2021-22 mountain bike season was characterised by rain and COVID. Nonetheless, we were still able to have an enjoyable and productive season. Despite some limited racing, we were able to ride as a team on the weekends at the trials in Sydney, which proved a great advantage as it allowed our students to foster a sense of community and friendship with their year group and within the team.

We would all like to thank Cassie Crompton for her enthusiasm and leadership throughout her time with the sport. She took charge of the sport in a difficult period with new restrictions coming in due to COVID. This meant that the sport needed some significant changes in order to continue to operate in a way that was enjoyable and instructive for the students.

While there was no external competition in Term 4, our team took the opportunity to

train hard in anticipation for racing to return in Term 1. We were lucky that we were still able to ride on the trails around Sydney within our team, which gave us the opportunity to practise on a variety of obstacles.

In Term 1, we were all really excited about the return to racing, however, due to the historic rainfall, all our competition days were rained out. Our team continued to train hard with the hope that we would be able to race again. We were extremely grateful for the leadership of our captain this season, Angus Fox. Throughout the season he provided the younger years with great riding and maintenance advice. This culminated in him fixing many bikes and providing extremely useful support at Thredbo.

After two years of cancellations, we were able to return to the Interschool MTB at Thredbo. We took a group of 25 students to race for the weekend and they raced in three disciplines: downhill, flow and cross country. Lachlan Ambrogio came 11th overall in the senior division. Thanks to all the hard work that the boys put in at training, Riverview won the Division 3 (Years 7 and 8) and Division 2 (Years 9 and 10) Cross Country events with the following results:

Division 3:

Lucius Pimpini placed 6th, Marcus Hughes placed 14th and Lachlan Maiers placed 16th

Division 2:

Jack Caine placed 8th, Judah White placed 15th and Joshua Maiers placed 22nd

Despite all of the inconveniences, the 2021-2 season was very enjoyable and instructive and we look forward to many of the students returning next season.

Rowing

MR DANIEL NOONAN

CAPTAIN OF BOATS: JAMES WHITEING

VICE CAPTAINS OF BOATS: OSCAR BERGEI AND TIMOTHY SEKEL

The 2021/2 Rowing Season proved to be a very successful one, despite the impacts of COVID and inclement weather conditions. The Term 4 regattas were cancelled, as was the Sydney Rowing Club Regatta in Term1, and flooding at the Sydney International Regatta Centre and poor water quality forced the Head of the River to be moved to Iron Cove on the Parramatta River and raced over 1700 metres.

Nonetheless, the consistent performances at all levels throughout the season resulted in the Rowing Club winning the Junior Point Score Competition and finishing second in the Senior Point Score. At the Head of the River, each of the eleven events saw a Riverview crew on the podium with four 1st, four 2nd and three 3rd placings. Winning crews on the day were the 3rd IV, 4th IV, 3rd VIII and the 10.4 VIII.

Fany factors contributed to this success, including the dedication and enthusiasm of the rowers and coaches, a well-developed and executed

rowing program at all levels under the direction of Mr Dan Noonan and the leadership shown by the senior members of the Rowing club under the leadership team of Captain of Boats, James Whiteing, and Vice Captains of Boats, Oscar Bergei and Timothy Sekel. In addition, Mr Peter Wawn spent a great deal of time as Boatshed Manager looking after the equipment and transporting boats to and from the Sydney International Regatta Centre as well as coaching the 1st and 2nd IVs. The assistance of Messrs Chris O’Brien, Paul Brogan, Phillip Elbourne and Bob Marsh as in previous years was invaluable each week with the safety boat accompanying the junior crews to the Hen and Chicken Bay and also at the Gold Cup Regatta.

Combined GPS Crew

The selection trials for the Combined GPS Eight involves a sculling time trial which is used to seed the races to determine the final rankings. The members of the 1st VIII performed well in this process with the best performer being Oscar Beregi who was selected in the crew.

The 138th Gold Cup Regatta saw the return of the Schoolgirl events to the race program but, once again, no spectators were allowed this season so only rowers and coaches were present. 79 events saw the involvement of 1,170 competitors, and the Men’s Gold Challenge Cup was won by Sydney Rowing Club, who also won the Women’s Gold Challenge Cup.

2022 ROWING Back Row:

The Regatta was a very successful day for Riverview with the 1st, 2nd and 3rd IVs, 3rd VIII, 10.4 VIII, 9.1, 9.5 and 9.7 Quads and the 8.1, 8.2, 8.4 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7 Quads all winning their events.

Head of the River Regatta

Flooding and water quality issues meant that the Sydney International Regatta Centre was unavailable for the Head of the River Regatta. At short notice the event was transferred to the Iron Cove Course with racing held over 1700 metres. There was no time for any buoying of the course, and this proved a problem for the coxswains, most of whom would not have competed in a regatta at this course. This was most evident in the 1st VIII event when there were protests concerning the course steered by the Kings School.

Despite the changed venue, it proved to be a very successful day, as for the first time all the crews finished on the podium, with four crews winning, four finishing second and three third. Winning crews on the day were the 3rd IV, 4th IV, 3rd VIII and the 10.4 VIII.

1st and 2nd VIIIs Crew Awards

1st VIII James Whiteing

2nd VIII Thomas Goodman

The success of the two Senior VIIIs was on the back of a number of camps during the season that built the fitness level and technical skills necessary to build the boat speed at this level of the sport. The rowers never wavered in their desire to constantly seek improvements both individually and as crews.

The 1st VIII, coached by Mr Matthew Curtin, was very competitive all season, winning early in Term 1 at the St Joseph’s College Regatta and finishing fourth in the NSW Championship Eight behind Kings and Shore. In a very close race, they were beaten by 0.1 seconds for third place. They finished second at the Gold Cup and Kings/PLC regatta and third at the Head of the River.

The 2nd VIII, coached by Mr Gareth Deacon and Mr Dan Noonan, was also competitive all season winning at the Kings/Plc Regatta and finishing second at the Gold Cup and the Head of the River Regattas. in both these races they were beaten by a very narrow margin by Shore in closely contested events.

Crew Awards

1st IV Jago Lambert

2nd IV Harry Grant

3rd IV Flynn English

4th IV Connor Egger

The GPS IVs were very dominant this season under the direction of Mr Peter Wawn (1st and 2nd IV) and Mr David Dillon (3rd, 4th and 5th IV). During the season they collectively won 20 races and finished in 2nd place twice and 3rd four times. The strength of the squad was most evident at the NSW Rowing Championships where they all competed

in the NSW Championship Schoolboy Four. The 2nd IV finished third and the 1st IV and the 4th IV also raced in the A Final.

The 1st IV won at the St Joseph’s, Gold Cup, Kings/PLC Regattas and were second at Head of the River in the tightest margin of the day under difficult racing conditions. The 2nd IV won at the St Joseph’s and Gold Cup Regattas and were 3rd at the Kings/PLC and Head of the River Regattas.

The 3rd IV was unbeaten during the season and the 4th IV showed great improvement as the season progressed. At the Head of the River Regatta, they both dominated their events with the 3rd IV retaining the Fr Thomas Gartlan Trophy and the 4th IV claiming the Penrith City Cup.

The 5th IV raced all season in the 4th IV event. They proved to be a very determined and competitive crew and the highlight for them was making the A Final at the Gold Cup regatta where they finished 4th. Under GPS rules they were unable to start in the 4th IV event at the Head of the River and they raced in the 3rd VIII.

3rd and 4th VIIIs

The depth of the GPS Squad this season was evident in the high standard of rowing produced by the 3rd VIII. Under the direction of Mr David Hogan, they were undefeated throughout the season, racing well each week and on average winning their events by two lengths. The highlights for the crew were their performances at the Gold Cup and Head of the River Regatta.

The 4th VIII also raced a number of times throughout the season with rowers from the GPS and Year 10 VIIIs squad. They raced in the 3rd VIIIs event at the Head of the River, finishing fourth ahead of the other 4th VIIIs.

Year 10 Eights

The Year 10 VIIIs were again very competitive this season under the direction of Mr Ollie Smith, Mr Gareth Deacon, Ms Sarah Dieu and Mr Simon Kenderes. The postponement of the Year 9 Challenge in Term 4 meant the squad was able to train hard and build their combinations. There were however no regattas to test their strength against other GPS

crews until Term 1, after a very effective January Rowing Camp. All four crews regularly finished on the podium once the regattas commenced.

At the Head of the river, the 10.4 VIII won their event, having also won at the Gold Cup and the Kings/PLC Regattas, the 10.1 and 10.3 crews were second and the 10.2 crew third. There were valuable lessons learnt this season and they will be the better for this as they move into the senior crews next season.

Year 9 Quadruple Sculls

The Year 9 Squad, under the direction of Messrs James Benson, Jackson Garrels, Tom Cavanagh, Ned O’Rourke and Patrick Johnston, played an important part in winning the GPS Junior Point Score Competition this season. They competed strongly in five regattas during Term 1, finishing on the podium in all of them, with all crews winning at least once.

The 9.1 Crew won at the Gold Cup and at the AAGPS 2 and 3 Regattas and were second in their other races. The 9.2 Crew won at the AAGPS 2 Regatta and the 9.3 Crew won at the AAGPS 3 Regatta. The 9.4 Crew won at the Sydney High School Regatta as did the 9.5 Crew who also won at the Gold Cup and the AAGPS 3. Regattas. The 9.6 Crew also won at the AAGPS 3 Regatta and the 9.7 Crew won at the Gold Cup and the AAGPS 3 Regatta.

Year 8 Quadruple Sculls

The Year 8 crews made great progress in their introductory year rowing under the direction of Messrs Zach Noble, Ryan Bowditch, Tom Benson and Ned Power. They worked hard throughout the time available in Term 4 and during the January Rowing Camp to develop their skills. This they put to good use in Term 1, where the squad competed in 33 races across five regattas, winning 25 of them. This laid the foundation for winning the GPS Junior Point Score competition.

Throughout the season the 8.6 and 8.7 crews won all their races, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 and 8.5 crews each won four of their five races and finished second in the other and the 8.4 crew won three times and was placed in the other two.

The highlights of the season for the squad included winning all events at the AAGPS 3 Regatta and six of the seven events at the Gold Cup Regatta.

The rowers and coxswains are all to be commended for their efforts this season, where they learnt the valuable lessons of the importance of teamwork in and out of the boat and working hard during every session to build both fitness and stamina.

Rugby

SPORTS PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR: MR NICK BOUSIE

In 2022, Saint Ignatius’ Rugby enjoyed a full season of fixtures without inclement weather and social distancing interfering in everyone’s enjoyment.

This season was the polar opposite of the big wet over winter 2021, with beautiful weather for much of the 2022 winter and the College grounds being used to their full potential. Whereas the boys had to train on mostly hard surfaces in 2021, which came with big challenges, this season can only be described as a breath of fresh air.

Most importantly, having our parents, carers, and supporters back on the sidelines of a Saturday was really meaningful for our boys and something we are truly grateful for. It brought a fantastic spirit and camaraderie back to the College and reminded us all of the strength of the SIC Community. A very important part of that is interactions of a Saturday.

We had 33 rugby squads running around each week and this brings great joy to the boys

involved. An average of 100 boys comprising any given age-group trained together twice weekly, and the spirit and enjoyment was selfevident. Rugby provides real life challenges for our boys and is of great benefit for their life after school, teaching them team-oriented thinking, personal decision making and reliance on mates.

Our match results were substantially better than in recent years. There has been a large focus at training on practicing the most basic skills (catch-pass-tackle), and playing rugby ‘the Riverview way’, which can be characterised by playing a calculated running game and using our often more diminutive frames to the best effect possible.

There were some outstanding team performances, including the 13B side, coached by Miss Kim Davey, who remained undefeated throughout the season. A nail-biting draw in their final match versus Newington elicited great tension and excitement. Miss Davey should be congratulated giving immense care and fine rugby instruction to these year 7 boys.

Another prominent side in the College was the (mighty) 16E side – ‘E for Entertainers’. We focused on getting the most spirit and enjoyment out of a bunch of boys who really ended up playing for each other fantastically well. The 16E only succumbed once to a Scots side brimming with higher players and beat arch-rivals St Joseph’s twice and has slashing

victories most weeks. Some of the boys therein will push for higher honours in the next two seasons.

This season, SIC’s 1st XV, 2nd XV and 3rd XV all had the benefit of playing the traditional St Josephs fixture at Leichhardt Oval. A huge crowd turned out to watch three very exciting matches, which will go down as part of the College’s rich rugby folklore. Our 3rd XV secured the Premiership that day in a tense finish.

We had over 50 staff assisting between coaching, age coordination and specialist functions and several volunteers. We thank them for their time and effort of running these boys around at training and on Saturdays. It’s a huge team effort behind the scenes to put that many teams out each weekend. Last but not least, our SIC referees are a vital part of the rugby fabric at SIC. A team of parents, (past and current), and 18 SIC students, who have become NSW Rugby certified, handled a total of 646 games at the College this season. Our program simply cannot happen without these guys. I want to thank those that gave up their time on Saturday mornings to be an important part of the fabric and history of rugby at Riverview.

We are looking forward to a very exciting program in 2023.

1st XV

HEAD COACH: MR TOBY L’ESTRANGE

The 2022 1st XV season signalled a fresh start. Not only was this the first chance to complete a full season in three years, there was also a new coaching group and only three players returning from 2021.

The group set out a clear idea on how they wanted to play the game and, even more importantly, how they wanted to be known as young men. Our theme for the season was about continuous improvement in working towards these goals one step at a time.

From a rugby perspective, it was not about expecting things to click too soon but rather focusing on the process of getting better at both our core skills and the execution of our game plan. Through the trials, there were aspects of growth in a variety of areas. Against Oakhill, there were elements of our pressure game that shone through and against Knox we developed a better balance of when to kick and when to run. We showed good continuity in our attack against Waverley and

St Joseph’s, while our defensive effort against an enormous Barker side at Leichardt Oval showed the tenacity of certain players and the heart within the team.

In the GPS season, we put these learnings together in our most complete performance of the year to beat King’s away from home. We played smart wet weather rugby to lead Scots for 69 out of 70 minutes and came within a bounce of the ball of storming back and stealing a win against Newington. A highlight of the year came against St Joseph’s where the boys played in front of more than 15,000 people at Leichardt Oval. The team took the game to their highly fancied opponents and built a sizeable lead before a 2nd half comeback eventually secured the win for our old rivals.

Of course, a rugby season represents the rollercoaster of life and there were a number of setbacks along the way. At times, it seemed like the biblical rains that plagued Sydney throughout the year would prevent us from training and playing the type of open game we had hoped for. There were also a number of injuries that challenged some of our players. And there were some disappointing performances against King’s in our trial and against Shore in the GPS competition.

But a fundamental trait of this team was their resilience to always treat these experiences

as learning opportunities and focus on how it could make them better. Each hardship revealed something about the mindset of the players and their commitment to our theme of using our experiences, good or bad, to continuously improve.

The group also embraced our past by hearing from respected coaches and players from previous seasons about what it meant to represent the College. They wanted to be passionate and humble and showed these intentions by bringing younger players into our trainings, coaching junior teams and running water for them on Saturdays. So in addition to their admirable on-field performances, the players can be proud of their work to leave the jersey, and what rugby at Riverview stands for, in a better place.

Thank you to Lawrance Hunting for his care for each player and his insatiable drive to make them better. To Mike Kennedy, Harry Rorke and Josh Lo who were outstanding men to coach alongside in the Opens age group. To Bill Dowers, Tom Riemer and Lachie Wylie who worked tirelessly throughout the season and in the holidays to support the players and coaches. And also to Marko Becejski, Jane Rorke and Justin Roe who all played vital and much appreciated roles as part of our medical team. It was a privilege to accompany the boys with you all this season and share in such a memorable journey.

2nd XV

COACHES: MR MICHAEL KENNEDY AND MR HARRY RORKE

The 2022 season kicked off in February under a new coaching regime and a new style of play which the boys adopted quickly. We worked on basic skills with a blueprint that would help us develop into reflective and confident rugby players. This was built on at our first camp in mid-April where Head of Rugby, Toby L’Estrange, led a purpose and process driven approach which empowered the boys to come together as a group, put our values at the centre of our performance, and enjoy the experience while gelling on the field.

Trial games against Knox, St Greg’s, King’s and St Augustine’s saw a combination of wins and losses, with one outstanding game against St Stanislaus’ from which the 2nd XV came away with a 48-19 win and some scintillating tries that built their confidence. Champagne rugby at its finest. The final trial against St Joseph’s saw the team play quite well with the game hanging in the balance for the majority of time, but ultimately losing 40-24.

The progress made over the trial period was obvious in how confidently the boys were approaching the game. At the beginning of the season questions often revolved around if they could do certain things and by the beginning of the competition fixtures, they began to play with more conviction and

freedom with questioning around why that option was taken. This level of player-driven curiosity is a coach’s dream and a testament to the playing group, and the overall approach Toby had implemented across the squad.

Round 1 of the GPS Competition kicked off at King’s. While the home team proved to be too strong with a 40-19 victory, the game was closer than the score suggested, showing how far we had come as a team since the trials. Will Hayes and Henry Curll showed their unique talents in lighting up a game in key moments, and despite the loss it was a proud showing that didn’t distract from the overall goal of continually improving week to week.

Round 2 against Scots College was our first and only competition game to be played on Riverview first field in 2022, and it ended up being the most agonising of the season as the 2nds played well and created enough opportunities to win the game but lost out in some key moments that changed the game and went down 19-12. The theme and focus after this game were all about execution as we were playing good rugby without putting the icing on the cake.

The icing was put on the cake in a dramatic way the following week against Shore with the boys winning 24-22 in an absolute thriller. Needing to score on the final play of the game after the bell, they showed great courage and patience to hold the ball for multiple phases and execute a very mature passage of play. The scores were tied 22-22 after the bell and Nick Newton who was a perfect 4/4 off the tee kicked the 2nd XV to victory three minutes into stoppage time.

The next week felt like a seven-day game as the boys prepared for a flagship rugby experience playing in front of thousands of people at Leichhardt Oval against Joey’s - a great experience for the boys. The first half contained the best rugby they played all year and they entered the halftime break at 14-14; however, the second half started poorly and led to dominant field possession for Joeys who ran away with the victory at 38-14. It was a game of two halves, but the first half showed just how entertaining this group can be when they are playing with freedom - the highlight of the day being a ‘Gregan’ ball executed by Henry Curll and Charlie Bull resulting in a try. This showed the intuition and flair this group was capable of all year and it was a joy to watch.

The final round ended in a 19-14 loss to Newington College which still wasn’t able to tarnish the boy’ spirits.

One of the key strengths of this program and Riverview sport in general is the importance of developing great people first. Great people make great rugby players, and the boys had the class to understand this message and live it out in the way they behaved. In a season where you win one and lose four, it can be easy to hang your head and get caught up in the end result. This team was able to always see the bigger picture and enjoy each other’s company, which is where all the great memories are built anyway. For that reason, it was a pleasure for us to coach.

Can’t wait to add more layers onto the 2023 season and continue to improve.

Sailing

SPORTS PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR: MR MATTHEW BENTLEY

The summer season of 2021 Sailing emerged out of a period of extremely limited activity across all co-curricular events. At first we thought we may not get a season at all given the restrictions placed on sports like ours where teams draw participants across different year groups; often our best teams contain both our oldest and youngest members working together. In any case we were allowed to start just a few weeks into Term 4 with a “social” sailing program which focussed on familiarising ourselves after a long winter break and just enjoying being out on the water. Individual skills were the order of the day as many of our younger sailors tried their hand at skippering 4.7 Lasers for the first time in optimal conditions. This is a big step up for most young sailors as the Laser is a much bigger and faster boat, it is efficient through the water and very technical to sail well. All sailors applied themselves well, took instruction from our fantastic coaches and were soon confidently navigating our local waterway.

Returning to Term 1 in 2022, restrictions had lifted enough to allow us to join cohorts and train a competitive team for the first time in a year. Unfortunately the east coast received extraordinary amounts of rain, making the Lane Cove River unsafe for swimming or training. Such was the stormwater runoff that the local waterways were closed for weeks at a time. On the occasions that we were able to get on the water,

Wednesday afternoon became an additional session on which to form our First VI race team. Old Boy Xavier McLachlan returned to lead the team in technical and strategic instruction with an aim to compete in whatever regattas could be entered in the remains of our season.

Our first opportunity came along in the form of the Redland’s Cup, an annual fleet racing regatta contested in our recently acquired Pacer teams racing boats. Hosted by the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron, the boys had a fantastic day at a beautiful venue in the heart of Sydney Harbour with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge as the backdrop to some very tight competition. The morning session was delayed by a lack of wind, but once we got underway each team completed three races in two pools of 10 boats. Harry Ashton and Will Thomas completed the “picket fence” taking first place in every race of pool B. Raph McLachlan and Xavier Cunial were at the top of Pool A, with Michael King and Zac Hui very close behind.

In the finals series Riverview had one boat in the Silver fleet. Michael and Zac did outstandingly well in the two race series with a 1st and 3rd, leaving them in 2nd position overall. The Gold fleet entries of Harry and Will, Raph and Xavier contested a very competitive fleet and secured 2nd and 3rd overall.

Our last regatta of the season was the NSW Secondary Schools Teams Racing Championships, which was contested over three days and also hosted by the RSYS. Very light and unpredictable weather conditions delayed the start of racing every day and in the end saw only about 70% of the usual racing take place. Our Teams raced very well, taking out a few more experienced and well practised teams in the swiss league qualifiers from St Aloysius’, Sydney Boys’ High, Cranbrook and Shore School. Unfortunately despite a lot of close racing we did not make the

top 8 leaving Riverview out of the finals series. Our final position was 10th out of 24 teams competing - a result we were satisfied with but felt with some more races completed, may have been a little better.

Overall the 1st VI team is quite young, with all members being available to contest the same regattas again next year. We are hoping to continue to develop this team and perhaps take a second team to represent the College in 2023.

I would like to thank my fellow Riverview staff member Mr Jonathan Talbot for his support throughout the season. Mr Talbot was Coordinator of Coaching this season and is an accomplished competitive sailor in his own right; his input keeps our sailing programs fun and effective for all levels of capability. We also enjoyed the assistance of Old Boys Pat Grew, David Wilson, James Wilson (2021 Captain of Sailing) and Xavier McLachlan, who coached our teams to learn to sail and advance their skills. Their professionalism and skills are highly valued and respected by the team members. The 2022/23 season holds a lot of promise with a return to more regattas and hopefully some better weather!

SNOWSPORTS CO-ORDINATOR:

MR ANTHONY COOK

After a two-year hiatus due to COVID, students from the Riverview Snowsports Team competed at the Regional, State and National Interschools Championships in our best team performance since our inaugural competition in 2012. The 44 Riverview boys achieved our best results since the inception of Snowsports at Riverview against strong opposition schools from around Australia.

Our Regis contingent of Charlie Salter, Richard De Angelis and Bill O’Rourke competed in Div 4 for their first time in College colours, after excelling at Regionals where they won Gold in the Moguls, Silver in the Alpine Downhill and Bronze in Ski Cross - a fantastic effort. Individually Charlie Salter won Silver in Moguls and Richard De Angelis won Bronze in Moguls. All three boys qualified for the State Championships individually in every event and went on to qualify for Nationals in the three separate events. Against elite competition in an older age group, this is an excellent result. We look forward to their progression next season.

In Division 3 we had 13 competitors across the Years 7- 8 age group representing the College. It was good to see so many boys proudly wearing the Blue and White ski jackets in a competitive atmosphere. Again, some excellent performances were displayed in this age group at all three levels of competition. The Alpine A team of Sebastian Atra,

Mitchell Haigh, Henry Salter and Lachlan De Angelis won several medals including Alpine Bronze at Regionals, followed by Silver in the Ski Cross. These three boys were able to continue that momentum into Nationals where they also picked up the Team Silver for Ski Cross. Sebastian Atra took out the Gold medal in that event, a great reward for his commitment to the snowsports arena. Jarvis Smoker competed in the Multi-class Snowboard Alpine event winning the Gold medal in all three Championships - an awesome achievement. We look forward to this group continuing to build next season and congratulate all those who represented the College in this age group.

Division 2 (Years 9-10) is a very competitive age group and our 12 competitors competed admirably in the ski events. Julian De Angelis qualified individually for State in Alpine, Moguls, SlopeStyle, and Ski Cross events. He also individually qualified for Nationals in the Alpine and Ski Cross events. In the Snowboard events, Joe Graves and Luke Geoghegan qualified for State in both Alpine and Snowboard Cross events, taking home the team Bronze in the latter. Luke Geoghegan individually qualified for the Nationals in his first ever competition in the Slope Style event. Joe also qualified for the Alpine Ski event showing his ability across both disciplines.

Division 1 is rich with some of Australia’s best up and coming racers. Snowsports Captain Romeo Atra performed admirably in regionals to place 4th in the Ski-Cross and 7th in the Alpine to qualify individually for State. As a team, Romeo combined with Shea Berry and Jim O’Rourke to qualify for State in Ski Cross, whilst Romeo, Shea and Hamish Long qualified as a team for Alpine in both State and National Championships. In the Snowboard events Ben Kropman and Christian Melbourne both qualified for State with top 4 finishes in the team events.

After qualifying through state with a Bronze medal, Ben Kropman won the National Gold Medal in Snowboard Slopestyle. A phenomenal achievement and reward for months of hard work and training. Romeo Atra also won the Gold medal for the Biathlon event, being rewarded for his commitment and effort to succeed in the sport. He also led the team admirably, supporting each competitor amongst his busy race schedules.

All competitors are to be congratulated for the way they conducted themselves, representing the College with pride and commitment.

A special mention to Mr Chris Baxter, a pioneer in the field of Riverview Snowsports co-ordination. Chris is hanging up his skis at the end of the year, and his commitment to the program and the students is much appreciated and his legacy will not be forgotten.

The 2021/2022 swimming season was another successful one with over 90 students training throughout the season and 50 representing the College. The team enjoyed the annual swim camp and they were ready for the season ahead. Swimming training consisted of students from Regis and the Senior School, and it was wonderful to see boys from a range of ages competing and training together. Each session the boys often swim between 4-5km, which is an exceptional achievement.

The Sydney Boys Swimming Carnival 4x100m relay has been an event that has been conducted for many years, with each GPS School entering a team for this event. Well done to the Riverview team of Max Christie, Nick Delany, William Kalkanas and Traevion Forrester, who placed 4th .

The Captain of the team, Nicholas Delany, along with Vice-Captains William Kalkanas and Evan Watson, and the BBQ Captain William Jewell, are to be congratulated for demonstrating great leadership throughout the season and representing the College with honour at the annual Captains’ Dinner at St Joseph’s College.

Table Tennis

SPORTS PROGRAM COORDINATOR: MR GREG JONES

What a year it has been for our table tennis team. The words that come to mind when we look back over this season is “constant improvement”. Starting in Term 4, 2021 right through to our last round this year, the Riverview team just got stronger and stronger.

With some of our players looking over their shoulder, the internal competition for positions in each division has led to a greater dedication to training and overall improvement in skill level.

Of individual note, Sebastian Filla–Duan and Sebastian Borromeo, both in Division 1, finished in second place overall. Ben Tavano will be hard to keep out of Division 1 and Alex Mercieca gets a special mention as our newest player, and at this stage most promising. Alex has already shown the determination and hard work required to make it into Division 1.

Results:

Division 1: Four wins in their last four games, placing them 2nd in their division.

Divisions 2-5: Mixed results, with Riverview finishing 5th overall, just two points behind Scots College.

The growth throughout the squad stands us in good stead for the 2022 - 2023 season.

Overall, a solid performance by a dedicated team that would have been happy to see the season continue as they continued to improve.

It is our goal for next season to finish in the top three, and with the attitude, hard work and resolve that this team has shown on a weekly basis, this is a very realistic goal.

Well done men!

SPORTS PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR:

MR JAYMON CRABB

After a tough and very COVID-interrupted 2020/21 season we came into this season with much hope and optimism. We were met with the dark clouds of La Niña and again a very interrupted set of fixtures with heavy downpours wreaking havoc many a Saturday.

In the face of this adversity the Riverview Tennis Teams showed amazing spirit and camaraderie, always working together to get the most out of each and every tennis session and match. In the breaks of rain swarms of boys swooped on to the squeegees and had the tennis courts playable in no time at all, taking every opportunity to hit tennis balls. If it was too wet we hunched under archways and did tennis fitness drills, always with happy faces and bursting with energy.

In January 2022 we welcomed our new Year 7 boys to the campus and the group who chose tennis gelled immediately; it was fantastic seeing the friendships form so quickly. I was lucky enough to coach this group led by Jack C, Samuel N, Alphie M , JP and Charles F. They showed an immediate love for the game and a fighting team spirit that carried them to many

victories. Even when Joey’s couldn’t field a full opposing team I loved seeing our boys offer to play for the opposition and the desire to be on the court playing. I look forward to seeing this group develop over their Riverview years.

Blake Mott, who still plays very good tennis himself and achieved an ATP ranking of 220 in the World, joined the team and together with help from Michele Law, coached our Year 8 teams. Led by the big hitting Matt L and the feisty never-say-die attitude of Nic G., I look forward to these boys pushing the senior boys in the not too distant future

Old Boy and former 2nds player Jack Pittman (OR2019) oversaw our Year 9s. Jack brings a passionate style of coaching and expects discipline and organisation. We saw big improvement in the boys and all teams finished close to the top of the table - a highlight being Jack F.’s big win at Shore on the back of weeks of hard training and thoroughly deserved.

The issue with our Year 10s was not not getting wins - they won almost every week with two teams (Bs and Ds) going undefeated - the issue was fitting the large group into four teams of four players, as we had about 29 sign up from this year group. This was carefully managed by Old Boy and former number 1 player at the school, Hugo Darin, who also had the extremely hard task of giving out MVPs. With so many great performances over the year, well done to Ollie, Lachie, George and Tom.

Our senior teams were a highlight of the season. Guided by Michele Law, they seemed to permanently have smiles on their faces , even when Michele added 20 minutes of footwork drills!! Again, fantastic bonds were built and it is clear the boys will continue their love for tennis into their adult lives.

Thanks to all the coaches and parents for an interrupted and truly enjoyable season.

8th Place | GPS Competition

Congratulations to this group of Riverview 1st tennis boys, not just for the results on the court, but for the way the boys carried themselves, the way they overcame adversity, mentored and were role models for the younger year groups. Faced with adversity, La Niña and all the rain, and some extremely strong GPS teams in Scots and Kings, the boys never backed down and always showed the Riverview spirit.

La Niña really did a number on us, the rains stayed away when we were drawn against the top teams and then it was relentless when we had opportunities to get some wins on the board. I vividly remember playing Sydney High and the boys leading in all three doubles matches; the rain would stop and the boys would run out to dry the courts (with no help

from the opposition) only for the rain to come again just as the courts became playable. This happened four or five times and we held the opposition for as long as we could, but in the end had to settle for the draw.

In another unlucky scenario our team Captain, Xavier Masztak, played an awesome match at Shore saving match points to take the 2nd set in a tiebreak, and then in a very high quality third set led 5-3 only for the time to reach 5.30pm (the cut off point for the day) and we had to settle for an unfinished match. That’s a win in my book!

To our boys leaving the team: Xavier, Charlie, Cam and Pat, you have set a high bar and left big shoes for the likes of Fred and Matias to step into and form their own team.

A highlight for the boys was our road trip to Sydney Olympic Park to watch the Australian Davis Cup team practice before their home tie vs Hungary. For the boys to see the intensity and concentration, and the thought process that goes into each and every point was a great learning moment. Alex de Minaur was kind enough to meet the boys in the stands and answer questions. He was asked about closing out matches and responded that each point is

a new point and must be played one at a time. Don’t focus or think about the end result as that will take care of itself.

I look forward to seeing the boys on the Riverview courts again next time. Thank you for a wonderful season!

If I’ve ever seen a team embody the Riverview spirit, it has to be this 2nds Tennis team. They will leave a legacy that will pave the way for future generations of Riverview boys. They were a tight knit group who stuck together through thick and thin, and most of all, they brought all their energy to the tennis courts each and every day.

This group was led by captain Josh M. who was at the courts almost every lunch time as well as extra sessions on Friday afternoons. Josh, Tom K, and Jack T would also often turn up - sometimes in school uniform and school shoes! - grab some racquets and go up and hit balls. Before long they had a following of younger year groups, and even though they were in our top teams, the boys would always welcome other boys of any age or level. From where I sit, these boys really set a great culture

for Riverview tennis and I can’t wait to have them back on the courts with a coach or mentor hat on!

A special mention has to go to MVP Sam W. At the start of the season Sam would tag along with Josh and Tom, as he hadn’t played as much tennis and probably didn’t have the aspiration to even try out for the 2nd’s team. But credit to Josh and Tom for pushing Sam and getting him out on the court whenever they could. Sam played very well in the trials and secured the last spot on the team. Although in practice Sam would hit the cover off every ball, when it came match time he

became a brick wall running every ball down and frustrating his opponents into errors. Always playing the longest matches of the day, Sam came away with many wins and was an inspiration for the team!

The team also self disciplined and kept in line some of our more hot headed players, like Johnny M, whose tennis really improved with his discipline. I look forward to Johnny stepping forward next year and becoming a leader.

Thanks for a great season!

Touch Football

SPORTS PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR:

MS ELIN MICHELSONS

It has been said that resilience is the touchstone of humanity; from adversity, we raise the spirit and strengthen our connection to self and community.

This rang true in the 2021/2022 Touch Football season where challenges were faced due to continuing COVID-19 restrictions and inclement weather. Nevertheless, spirits were not dampened, rather they reigned supreme due to our collective effort across the season.

The program began with a warm welcome back to many coaches and players from the previous season. Returning coaches included Ms Kate Hilyard (Opens coach), Mr Tim Lee (16As coach), Mr Peter McNamara (15As Coach) and Ms Kim Romeo (14As coach). And, with much positive growth in player and team numbers, we had the opportunity to welcome many new valuable Touch Football staff, including Mrs Rhian Lovell (Riverview Convenor), Mr David Wales (13As coach), Mr Kyle Wallace (OR2021, 13Bs coach), Mr Joseph Boneham (OR2013, Opens Coach), Mr Tom Bourne (Opens Coach) and Mr Sean Hewes (Opens Coach).

The Touch Football program saw Charles Henry named as the 2021/2022 Captain. This was Charles’ second season playing Touch Football for the College and his talents in both leadership and athleticism were noticed right from the start. Throughout Charles’

involvement in Touch Football at the College, he consistently demonstrated commitment, hard work, perseverance, and great respect for his coaches and teammates. He led with his actions and set an excellent example for all players of what it is to be a Riverview Touch Footballer.

After stormy beginnings in Term 4 2021, where unfortunately no competition matches took place, the clouds cleared and the spirit of competition was underway in Term 1 2022. Here we saw all eight Riverview Touch Football teams ready to take on the rounds of competition that lay ahead. These teams made up the largest contingent of players the sport has held since pre-pandemic times, signalling that Riverview’s Touch Football program was making a comeback. Whilst the Term 1 weather still threw challenges our way, for the most part, we saw Touch Football back in full swing.

1ST TOUCH FOOTBALL Back Row: Ms Kate Hilyard (Coach), Daniel El’Hazouri, Charles Bull, Lachlan Nelson, Tom Taylor Seated: Joseph Dillon, William Garnsey, Charles Henry, James Paterson, Sam Clark

As in previous years, Riverview had the privilege of competing against Newington College, Reddam House, Trinity Grammar and Waverley College, and matches took place across various locations including Strathfield Park, Queens Park and at Riverview’s very own Field 1B.

Throughout the competition rounds, we saw the impact of returning Opens 1sts players (coached by Ms Kate Hilyard) such as Joseph Dillon and Charles Henry, as well as the emergence of new up and coming players from the 16As (coached by Mr Tim Lee). From the 16As, Luc Johnstone and Ben Bousie were selected as development players to train with the Opens program, for which they are commended.

Whilst competition results were difficult to determine overall given the shortened season, all 8 teams showed much improvement from the beginning of their season, including the 13s division players who were afforded only a taste of the sport in the second half of the season in Term 1 2022.

CIS Touch Football trials also took place after the regular Touch Football season, and the following Riverview players were invited to trial at this event as part of the GPS region’s Under 15s and U18s Touch Football teams:

⁄ William Grattan (U15)

⁄ Hugo Mortimer (U15)

⁄ Charlie Watson (U15)

⁄ Benjamin Bousie (U18)

⁄ Charles Henry (U18)

⁄ Luc Johnstone (U18)

These players are congratulated for their selection to represent both the College and GPS in the sport of Touch Football in what was a physically challenging, yet highly enjoyable, day.

Next season, the College hopes to welcome back many of its players and coaches once again. We anticipate further growth and look forward to facilitating a deepened sense of consistency across the program to support continual improvement and enjoyment across all teams throughout the season, and for the many seasons to come.

Summer Athletics

The Riverview Summer Athletics program continued to grow and improve with increased participation across the season. With COVID restrictions eased, the boys took part in various Athletics NSW Competitions throughout the summer including the NSW All Schools Championships, NSW Club Championships, NSW State Junior Championships, and various interclub competitions.

Special congratulations to Hamish Elliott and Marc Girard for their podium finishes at the NSW All School Championships. Hamish ran a personal best time to finish second in the U12 200m and backed up the following day also running a personal best time in the 100m, just missing another podium finish in fourth place.

Marc Girard completed the tough 800m and 400m double in what was the most competitive age group events at the Championships, winning the bronze medal in the U15 800m. He returned the following day to advance to the final of the U15 400m with a personal best time.

Other highlights include Jerome Nearhos finishing 4th in the T20 ambulant 100m also at the NSW All Schools Championships. Jerome went on to finish 4th in the T20 ambulant 100m at the NSW Junior Championships in a personal best time as well as competing in his first T20 ambulant 200m race.

Well done to the following boys who ran their personal best times to advance to the finals of their events:

⁄ Liam Dinnell advanced to the final of the very competitive U17 110m hurdles

⁄ Parker Lynn advanced to the final of the U13 200m at the Jr Championships

⁄ Joshua Price advanced to the final of the U14 400m at the NSW All School Championships

Summer Track & Field

The Summer Track & Field program continued its impressive start to the season with some great achievements at the NSW State Club Championship relays held at Sydney Olympic Park.

On Day 1, the College had three teams entered into the U18 4x200m relay. The team of Patrick O’Hara, Marc Girard, Roland Ward-Thomas, and Liam Dinnell captured the bronze medal in the U18 4x200m relay in an exciting race that featured teams from strong clubs such as UTS Norths, Randwick, The Kings School, and Trinity Grammar.

Volleyball

SPORTS PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR:

MR CHRISTIAN ILIGAN

What a great year to have a full season of uninterrupted GPS Volleyball, which is a fast growing sport at the College. With every dig, set, spike and the occasional block, it has been a pleasure to witness the students grow to love the sport more and more.

This season, we had 61 players across eight teams - all coached by former Riverview students who had represented the 1st Volleyball team during their time at the College. Throughout the last few years, the sport was guided by Glen Duncombe overseeing the coaching program.

We had many students play the sport for the first time and the passion of our coaches was evident throughout the training sessions and our Saturday games. Our new players soon grew to realise that Volleyball is much more than it looks. The sport is a challenging one; really testing the skills, game play and patience from its players. Throughout the season, the boys grew in camaraderie and exercised

Volleyball Season Results 2022

leadership skills within a team setting. I am looking forward to seeing our players excel in the sport in the coming seasons.

During the April school holidays, we hosted a Volleyball Camp with over 30 students in attendance. It was important to create as many opportunities for the boys to partake in training that were led by coaches who also participated in the same camps. The Volleyball culture is strengthened through this and has promoted opportunities for past players to showcase their skills and talents that our current players can aspire to.

We are looking forward to competing this year at the Australian Volleyball Schools Cup (AVSC). It had been two years since we last competed due to COVID and this year we saw an increased interest in the competition, entering two teams: U10 and U12. This is the largest tournament in the Southern Hemisphere with over 550 teams competing from across the nation. This year the carnival moved to the Gold Coast and we look forward to continuing to help grow Volleyball.

Having coached junior teams in the last two years and being new to the Sport Program Coordinator role this year, I have been exposed to the complex network of support that has helped this sport become what it is today.

Thank you to Trinh Loi for the great work she does as the GPS Volleyball Convenor. We are very grateful for the passion and dedication she puts into making sure all teams have a fixture on the weekend. To Andrew Szabo and Paul O’Brien, your constant support and guidance have allowed me to gain much enjoyment in this role throughout the year.

Thank you to our coaching staff: Henry Payne, Luke Johnson, Sam Magarey, Luca McDonald and Ethan Levens. Although each team was allocated their coach for the season, all teams were able to learn from each of the coaches’ expertise. Like any season, this year presented some challenges and our coaches were always willing to give up their time and efforts to ensure our teams received quality training sessions and were challenged to excel. This season was a memorable one thanks to our coaches.

Thank you for the support of our Volleyball parents. The energy and excitement you provided for our boys every weekend was electric. Thank you for all your efforts and for your continuous encouragement of our boys to give it their all.

I wish everyone all the best for the rest of the year and I look forward to working with you all in the seasons ahead.

1st IV Volleyball

HEAD COACH: MR GLEN DUNCOMBE

2019 was our last full season of volleyball, and with just two subsequent half seasons of training and matches, the development of rhythm, continuity and form were very difficult to establish. Thankfully, we finally had a full season this year.

Building a stand out, recognisable volleyball team in the GPS group is a slow and hard fought process. To gain the respect - and fearfrom other strong volleyball teams in the GPS is something that Riverview had been working hard at for many years. While we had some great players come through its ranks in the last few years, one thing that we struggled to do was to create a good ‘full’ team, on the court all at once.

The 2022 Riverview 1st Volleyball team was that team: the first ‘full’ team that I have seen in my time here. The team had six fabulous, complete volleyball players which enabled the team to perform at a level not experienced at Riverview before.

This year’s 1st Volleyball team earned both respect and fear from other formidable GPS school teams. Every single match was played with heart and soul, and dedication to the team, and to themselves. Every team that we played this year will remember this Riverview team.

The 1st team played so well as a team that they needed little “managing”. They were a welloiled machine, a team that was able to self manage, which made it a joy to coach, as they all took on responsibility and worked perfectly together.

It was a shame that the season had to come to an end. These boys have a great desire to play, improve, win and best yet, to enjoy it all.

The 1st team consisted of:

Ben Parsons - The setter with an insatiable thirst to make his hitters look great; forever reaching for the next little thing that will help his team win.

Marco Franich - The quiet achiever; the middle who is both a defensive wall, and an unbeatable attacker. The perfect poker player.

Finn Barry - The unflappable outside hitter whose development in 18 months has been incredible to watch. He is an uncanny and

deceptive attacker and a gun defender in the back court.

Xavier Masztak - The 5”6 libero who grew and grew. Xavier can play any position on the court, with ease, but his perfect fit was as universal hitter and blocker. Fear is what the opposition hitter feels when Xav is blocking.

Tristan Dardis - The middle, the larrikin, the joker, the doer. Moving across from AFL at the start of this season, he worked hard and owned his position as a middle player. Tristan is unique in how quickly he picked the skills and the game up.

Sam Waterson - A real workhorse. A power house. A machine. Those who decided that volleyball was a ‘tall’ sport haven’t met Sam. There is not one task that Sam can’t do in volleyball - passer, defender, hitter, blocker, communicator and lover of the game. Big blockers are a mere inconvenience to Samno task was too great, no opposition was too intimidating.

Everyone involved with volleyball this year has Mr Chirstian Iligan to thank for the smoothness and fluidity that this season has operated with. I look forward to the seasons ahead and watching our young players grow and develop in our sport.

2nd IV Volleyball

COACH:

MR HENRY PAYNE

The 2022 Winter season was one of the most memorable for the Riverview volleyball community that I have experienced as both a player and a coach. The anticipation built up from previous years, as well as the depth of talent we had in the squad, promised an exciting season right out of the gate.

I had the pleasure of coaching the most dedicated and successful 2nd team since the inception of the volleyball program at Riverview. Led by captains Thomas Knox and Lachlan Doyle, the 2nds was filled to the brim with talent in every position, often making it difficult for me to decide what the team rotation would look like each week. The development and spirit of the team are strongly reflected in their game results, starting the season on a two-game losing streak and finishing confidently on a twogame winning streak, it’s clear that these boys were hungry to improve. Three of the four wins from the season came from valiantly fought five-set games, which while stressful for anyone watching from the sidelines, can only be accomplished by a team who come to each game willing to fight for each other and the success of the team. This team was truly exciting to be a part of and even more exciting to watch each week.

The 2nd IV consisted of:

Malachi Lindsey – An offensive powerhouse, Malachi’s attacking skills developed significantly throughout the season and gave our wing option a key hitter who could play a variety of options that kept the defence guessing.

Jasper Lee – The starting oppo, he had to learn the position entirely from scratch but quickly became a key player in the line-up and gave our team the option to run more advanced mechanics.

Dominic Mayhew – The MIP of the 2nd VI. Although there is no formal award, A force in the frontcourt, Dom’s presence as an athletic middle blocker became more prominent as the season progressed, building significant anticipation for his senior season in 2023.

Leo Egerton-Warburton – The team comedian who was a huge support to the communication of the team; on and off the court, Leo was an instant morale boost to the other boys.

Toby Bower – A well-rounded and consistent middle blocker, a key foundational player who you could trust to do his duty on court.

Daniel Morris – Joining the squad halfway through the season, Dan made exceptionally quick progress on his game knowledge and skills to become a strong player who will be exciting to watch continue to progress.

Dominic Gale – Making the hardest role on the court look easy, Dom’s natural ability as a setter is almost baffling to witness, becoming a key player who will no doubt continue to improve on his playmaking skills.

Joshua Cunningham – Josh is one of the most naturally proficient defensive players I have ever seen, giving him the opportunity to play as a libero for the Firsts for the better part of the 2022 season. Josh will undoubtedly continue to have a massive impact on court next season as he did this year, making him worthy of the Best and Fairest award.

Lachlan Doyle – The brains of the team, Lachie led the team not only as a captain but also as our setter. He took on the intimidating task of running our complicated offence like a champion, using his natural smarts to lead his decision-making.

Thomas Knox – Tom’s consistency and tenacity as a player saw him able to get the job done no matter where he was on the court. The glue of the team, Tom is a great defender and attacker, and the only thing more impressive than his playing was his desire to win every point, to make the right play and ability to dust himself off when things didn’t work out. It was this mindset that led to him becoming an important leader for the team, pushing us over the line when it mattered.

The development of the team as a whole this season is indicative of the passion these boys have for the game and their self-improvement. It will be exciting to watch the progression of the boys in future years as well as the sport as a whole.

Water Polo

SPORTS PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR:

MR TOBY MARTIN

As has no doubt been repeated through this season’s reports, never has a sporting season begun under such difficult circumstances. The lack of sport (and students!) in Term 3 (2021) meant that there was a non-existent preseason training regime and a disjointed start. Due to contact tracing the usual combined CAS/GPS competition had to be re-jigged, so Riverview began Term 4 playing against CAS teams before moving to a more traditional GPS competition in Term 1.

A dip in participation numbers meant that this season Riverview fielded five teams. There were mixed results throughout, as teams came up against the significantly larger programs of Scots, Shore, Newington, Knox and Trinity. Against schools of similar size, we held our own, particularly in the 1sts where younger players like Kent Churcher and Mitchell Rutherford took on leadership playing roles. A highlight this year was seeing the U13s, many of whom had never played water polo before, improve throughout the

season. Keep an ear out for names like Atra, Winter, Martin and Matthews in years to come.

On a representative front, both Mitchell Rutherford and Kent Churcher were selected to trial for the GPS squad, and both subsequently gained selection in the GPS team. In a big representative year, Kent was also selected in the U16 NSW team which competed at the Nationals and remained undefeated throughout the tournament.

With the conclusion of the season we say goodbye to several players who have come up through the ranks over their years at the College to be the backbone of the water polo program. Sam Mulhearn and his powerful left arm shot departed the team, the youngest of four brothers who were all involved in water polo at the College in both a playing and coaching capacity. Other notable names to depart are Nick Delany, Hugo Pringle, Jared O’Donnell and Pierce Kenny, whose presence will be missed on future Saturdays.

This season saw the continued leadership of the coaching staff by John Hahn, with senior coaches AJ Roach and Jack Rector continuing on for another year. We were also very fortunate in welcoming back Old Boys Gianni Taranto and Joel Smith, both capable players who represented GPS, NSW, and Australian Schools in their time as a student

and player. They immediately made an impact and were further supported by Graeme Hubbard, a member of the teaching staff with a respectable history of water polo coaching in club competitions. I was incredibly fortunate to have the support of all the coaches through the season and would like to thank them each individually for their efforts this year.

Unbeknownst to us at the time, this season marked the final season of Aidan Roach as the 1st VII coach. AJ’s accolades as an Old Boy speak for themselves, having represented Australia in the past three Olympics and in various World Championships in between. AJ was universally respected for his passion and his deep desire to help the players develop. He not only leaves Riverview as a legend of the sport but also a legend of water polo in Australia. We wish him all the best in his retirement from playing and coaching and good luck in his next endeavours.

As we begin to look forward to the next season, the aim will be the promotion of water polo within the College and the introduction of water polo as a sport in Regis. Water polo has suffered with the introduction of new summer sports and the rising popularity of other sports within the College so we hope to see all players back next year to build the program to where it once was.

See you next season.

5th Place | GPS Competition

What a very strange year it has been, with the uncertainty surrounding the season early to getting back to something resembling normality during Term 1. While it has been a challenging year for all involved, the boys have managed to stay strong and supportive of each other as a group. This was evident in the great improvement we have had during the term. While the results haven’t gone our way, I have been happy with the way the boys have been able to adapt to the tactics, particularly considering the limited amount of time and disruptions they have had with training. While tactics are one thing, I am most proud of the way the boys consistently fought tooth and nail to get the best result possible. Whether we were winning or losing, they never lost that grit, determination and competitiveness, which could have been easy to lose given the circumstances.

I will be sad to see some of the boys leave, especially as they have been in the program for multiple years now. I wish them the best of luck moving forward with whatever endeavour they choose to pursue. To all the boys staying, I’m looking forward to having you back next year, which hopefully will run without any further interruptions.

I’m very proud to have been part of the group and thank you all for the season.

2nd Water Polo

COACH: MR JACK RECTOR

With a year riddled by COVID-19, injuries and everything in between, the 2nd’s water polo team managed to form a strong core and play with an enormous amount of heart throughout the entire season. Having limited numbers/support off the bench, the game becomes very testing and puts an immense pressure on one’s fitness and conditioning.

With a group of boys who varied in experience, with some being in their first year of the sport, the team was able to formulate some incredible games throughout the season, with the majority of the matches coming down to the wire.

A highlight of the season would have been the 5-5 draw with Newington in the latter part of the season where the team was able to show real tenacity and come from behind to close the gap and give themselves a great chance at winning it. This effort was led by eventual Best and Fairest Evan Watson, with incredible support from veterans Dan Izard in goals and Matt Fielding sitting in centre.

With lots of youth surrounding these older players, the future of Riverview water polo is in good hands with many talented boys who will be challenging for spots in the 1st’s next year. Under the circumstances, another incredible year with a great display of sportsmanship and commitment.
