Headmaster's Report

1976 When the Sacred Hean Fathers bought a Burradoo property and opened a school for 24

boarders and 24 day students in 1946, naming it OIevatier after the founder of their congregation, and giving it a motto Fortes in Fide (Strong in Faith). they did so w ith hopes welt summed up in the first an nual report given by Father Reid, first Rector of Chevalier.

"We pray and trust". he said to the parents, students and teachers gathered to review the year, "that the years ahead will prove them worthy pioneers of future generations of boys who will carry on the traditions we have endeavoured to plant this year, traditions of strength of Faith and of an education that will fit them to take their place in private and public life as true sons of the OlUrch."

And in the first College magazine the hope of Chevalier is summed up in a brief poem, express, ed perhaps not quite in the form or language of the poetry of today, but containing sentiments that Christ ian educators of all generations will understand :

Who touches a boy by the Master's plan Is shaping the course of the future man; Father or mother or teacher or priest, Friend or stranger or saint or beast

Is dealing with one who is living seed And may be the Man whom the world shall need: For who can measure the pride and joy That may grow some day from a little boy,"

You will have to make the necessary mental adjustments from '1ittle boy" to include some rather older students in these days of more extended education, and ellen further to include the young ladies who helped entertain us in music and drama at the beginning of this evening, in these days of co-education, but the thought that each young person in unique, with a life to be led, a goal to be found, a measure of greatness to be achieved, has always made educators approach their task with rellerence and dedication,

Thirty years later the Cheva lier communi ty, at board, staff and counci l level, has again been considering its purpose and trying to state its aims in the language of today. The summary is not too long, and I would like to read it to you.

The Chevalier Community was founded and functions in the belief that the love of God given to the world in Christ is a creative and healing power freely offered to each person, who grows in freely receiving the gift. The motto Strong in Faith and the emblem of the Chevalier or Knight summarise the hope that the student will grow in faithfulness to God and to himself; into the kind of person he is meant to be before God and man, with a sureness about his life and its value.

This leads Chevalier to strive for an atmosphere of Christian caring. We remind ourselves that everyone has importance, that each of us is to become a person in his own righ t. free and at peace in himself. We try to make Chevalier a place where such growth can occur. Staff and responsible senior srudents take this deman seriously, and spend much time in helping, guiding, counselling, and simply in developing friendship and mutual care in the community. With the boarding community especially we are conscious of the demand for a family' type care.

Still, we recognise that no real development can take place without some control, that friendship and care for an adolescent or young adult will sometimes demand firm guidance, and that the life

of a large community requires order. We strive seriously to obtain order and discipline, to establish and maintain acceptable standards.

Chevalier is school as well as community. We place progress in learning high on our list of goals. We believe that aI/ our students, given care and guidanC8, can make progress in learning, and hope that all will strive for the level of achievement of which they are capable. True learning demands respect for the opinions of others, and a shared concern for the truth.

Since Chevalier is founded on a religious belief, i t seeks to remain in touch with its inspiration in prayer and community worship.

We value our close ties of friendship and common concern with the Pllrents of our students and with our past students.

The love of God accepted in our lives becomes naturally the love of God shared with others. The Chevalier student should learn to be concerned for those in his community and in other nations who are in need.

Chevaiter then believes in and relies on the love of God. This is what we learn, this is what we teach, it is here that we grow. From this we derive our confidence. For it means that each of us has value, a life to be led, a destiny to be achieved. We want to grow into a sureness about our life and its ' value. So many young people today can find nothing of value or permanence in their lives, and turn to drugs, or to a continuing search for more and more excitement. to rel ieve the listless emptiness. They turn their backs on all difficulites, unable to face them because they have no knowledge of the pattern of care of a wise Providence.

We strive \0 teach this truth of God's care, of His gracious design, in the tone and atmosphere of the College, and formally in our classes of religion and times of prayer and worship. We have recently introduced liturgies before school on a couple of days a week, and I would once again exhort those students who are able, to make use of this chance to grow closer to God who is their strength in these times of worship. The whole staff, too, has met on several occasions this year, to reflect and pray together, seeking to find God for themselves and deepen the faith they wish to share.

From our appreciation of God's care for us comes our care for each other. In this connection I have to compliment the body of prefects on the task they have taken on themselves this year. This year, for the first time in several years, we re·introduoed prefects, replacing the Student Council. Th is, you may remember, was recommended to us here on this platform by the previous two School Captains. It took some time for the prefects to find their purpose, but "mder the leadenhip of Richard, and with some help, expert and time-consuming, from Brother Floyd, they refined their aims and set about implementing them. Richard may say more of this, but if I had to choose one word for their contribution it would be that of 'Service', not in a $Ort of impersonal, administrative fashion, not with regimentation or authoritarianism, but with real care for the needs of individuals, and with a real effort to understand other students at their level. I know that they are now concerned that the next senior year will profit from their year of learning, wi ll fit more quickly into this role. and I am confident that, with the training programme introduced this term are now concerned that the next senior year will profit from their year of learning, will fit more quickly into this role, and I am confident that, with the training programme introduced this term for year 11, this will be so.

Our Aims and Spirit document also encourages hard work in the academic sphere. With a gifted and dedicated staff. and goodwill from most student5, the results we achieve continue to be high. In the Higher School Certificate examination we had seven students in the first five per cent of the State in overall reSUlts. One student. Andrew lloyd, gained six first levels, another three gained five first levels. Over sixty per cent of Higher School Certificate students matriculated.

Eight of our present year 12 students have already been accepted for next year by the Austra· lian National University, and two hold scholanhips to Duntroon. Another achievement, stronger this vear than last, is the extra care given to those with leaming problems. We were fortunate that Mrs. Sheargold was able to come to us this year, with her wealth of experience in dealing with students needing extra care, and many students who otherwise had little future ·in school are learn ing under her guidance.

Any mention of extra care leads me tl:! think automatically -of the boarding house masters and their assistants. Father Prentice in Kerrins and Father Boh in Bosco both retumed to us this year, and Father Velds, of coune, has been in charge of Southmore for som.e time now. With their assistant housemasters, they devote long hours to both the general supervision and the individual care of nearly 300 boarding students. They. of course, see their long hours as normal and unremar· kable, but any other workers in this job would soon be demanding overtime payments and extra

loadings, and probably just resigning in the face of the difficulties. It is this kind of dedicat ion, in so many areas, that makes Chevalier what it is.

Again this year we have some farewells to say. Father O'Connor has been with us now for six years - teacher, assistant housemaster and driving force or helper in so many activities: band and band festival, canoeing, plastics workshop, our entry in "Its Academic", visits to Sydney theatres, fetes committee - in all these fields he has got things done.Monivae will gain next year from his enthusiasm.

Sister Lucy Davey had been gi rls' mistress, English mistress, member of our Council and of the Education Committee for OUf Austral ian Province. To all of these tasks she has brought enthus· iasm, new ideas and a dissatisfaction with the mediocre. Her appointment to Sydney is a big loss to Chevalier.

Father Fitzgerald, who came only for a term when Father Rate went overseas, is also off to Monivae. I know you join me in wishing them well in their new fields.

The students have been outstanding in giving of their time to help those in need. They have helped in collections for National Heart Foundation, Freedom from Hunger, Red Cross, and the Red Shield, and for such causes as National Parks. Some have continued to work in the St. Vincent de Paul Society. The first $ 1,000 of the Walkathon proceeds was also set aside for the benefit of children less fortunate than ourselves, while the rest of the proceeds wi ll go towards the purchase of a small bus that we hope to have in a few weeks' time.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme has made progress this year in the College, under the painstaking guidance of Father Strangman. At the end of March I presented Bronze Award certifi· cates to three students, and Silver Awards to Marc de Cure and Michael Raymond. Since then, other training and award expeditions have been completed, with expert guidance from Mr. Tony Burke and several members of staff. Students fu lfilli ng requirements in each of the four categories of expeditions, community service, leisure-time interests and physical activity learn valuable lessons in self-reliance, personal development and service.

At this time last year we were in doubt about the future of Cadets. The movement has again been supported by the Government, the College Unit has re-formed with a lot of enthusiasm, new members have joined, and the first weekend bivouac has already been held, with great success.

A new experience this year was the participation of the School in the music festiva l organized by the Headmasters' Conference. Those of us who managed to get down to the final performances in the Sydney Town Hall could appreciate the high standard of the performance, and the long hours of practice that it entailed. It was a major cultural event in the life of the School, though of necessity only small numbers could take part. We hope that its influence can spread through the School in the coming years.

Sport has played its customary role in the life of the College and the development of the students. This year we went a little further atong the road to divers ification in sport, trying to create opportunities for all to be involved in a sport of their choice. In such a situation we must expect less glory, fewer successes in our traditional major sports, but such a loss should be balanced by the increased enjoyment of others, while the values of physical development, of team involvement, of meeting many other people and students from other schools, remain. For the girls, especially, we managed to find many more opportunities of competition with other schools. Our first XV made a successful tour in the south of Queensland, and we took a group of sporting teams to our College of Monivae in Victoria for a most enjoyable weekend. Next year we hope to begin a similar kind of sporting exchange with our college of Downlands in Toowoomba. While speaking of tours, the New zealand tour in the August-September vacation, I can report from fjrst hand experience, was a marvellous success, with breathtaking scenery, happily enjoyed in good weather, and most pleasant companionship.

And so we come to the end (almost) of 1976. Nexr year is a very big year for us, when we join with Dominican Convent, Elm Court, in Moss Vale, in the education of the boys and girls of the district. The Dominican sisters have been most generous in all our dealings in preparation for the amalgamation, a move that brings sadness at such a fundamental change in a sdlool with years of tradition in the education of Girls; they have found time to help plan for next year while st ill administering their school this year; and they have provided the combined Olevalier for 1977 with a fi ne group of sisters to teach and to help administer the school, a most generous gesture at a time when there is the pressure of so many commitments. I am confident that 1977 will be a great year for independent and Catholic education in the Berrima district.

WHAT CHANCE HAS YOUR CHILD GOT?

--The New School Certificate and Higher School Certificate Results. by R F. Rippin, M S C , B A Deputy Headmaster

Last year, 1975, saw the first School Certificates issued without an examination. Teachers assessed their pupils in the light of their work over the previous two years, gave a mark out of 100, say, and then waited fo r the Education Department to tell them how many A passes, how many B passes, and so on, they could award. The Department felt it was competent to do this, as it had staged a series of teslS, called 'Reference Tests', in the middle of the year.

Thi.s year the procedure will be the same, except that awards will now be over 10 categories, called deciles, and based on top 10%, next 10%. and so on, in each subject, and there will be no Advanced, Credit, or Ordinary passes; indeed, there will be no passes at all, as the old concepts of 'pass' or 'fail' have been abolished. The NSW Teachers' Federation does not hold with this system, claiming the teacher is the one who knows the pupil, and should be the one to grade the pupil, and the Department has no right, indeed, no competence, to say how many pupils in a particular class are 9th Decile students, how many 8th Decile, etc. In fact, the Federation has threatened to boy­cott the results coming from the Department, in consequence of the Reference Tests held in July, and go ahead and award School Certificates from the teachers' knowledge of their pupils.

The Education Department is on the horns of a dilemma_ On the one hand it needs the teach­ers' co-operation in submitting the assessments, and in allotting individual pupils to deciles decided by the Department. On the other hand, if it allows the teachers to decide, for their own pupils, their final rating or grade, how will it be possible to standardise results for the whole State? Who is to say that Peggy, awarded Decile 8 in Mathematics at Woop Woop Convent School, is better than Paul, awarded Decile 6 in Mathematics at Galloping Creek Central? How will employers be able 10 compare prospective employees, or School Administrators sort out new students into Senior School? Obviously, some sort of compromise will have to be reached, but who is to say what it will be?

As a first step, I suggest that the Reference Tests, as administered this year, must go: they are too costly, involving more printing and administering than the original School Certificate examina­tion, now obsolete; the tests are not devoid of syllabus-content, as was promised (I.e. students are tested on their knowledge of a given syllabus, in spite of an earlier promise that they could sit for the Tests without having done particular 10pics);'and above all , they really must amount to a new form of School Certificate exam , with the teachers supplying assessments, as they did _before with the old School Cert ificate, and the Education Department issuing the results in a disguised form, merely allowing the school to fill in the names.

As a second step, I suggest that it is the school that should be moderated, I.e. standardised, and consequently any sort of testing should be of samples of pupils, preferably of their work through the year, (as is done now with some manual arts subjects), and not of the whole pupil population in each subject, certainly not a testing of them by what amounts to a written exam, supposed ly thrown out with the School Certificate.

I would also make the point that the problem for employers is not as great as would seem at first sight. Already schools have a reputation, of one form or another, and employers already have some idea of the standards of pupils coming from schools in their area. Again, teachers are professional people, with pride in their work, and in the fruits of their teaching, as manifested in .

the pupils leaving their classrooms: they are not suddenly going to lower their standards and ideals, simply because they are now able to have Ihe nnal say on Paul or Peggy, and on his or her ability in, say, English or Arithmetic. In any case a growing number of employers does not take anyone's word for the abilities of prospective employees, and insists on administering a test of their own, for example, the Commonwealth Public Service. Administrators in schools soon assess the standards of new pupils coming into Year 9, say, so there should be little additional difficulty with students coming into Year II (Fonn 5).

Of course, il is the Education Department that has to come up wilh a solution to its dilemma thai will satisfy the public - parents, employers - and also the teachers.

With the Higher School Certificate Examination we have a much more complex structure. This year is the first year of examining in the new Unit·system, which has replaced the old Levels. Stu· dents take an examination in a subject accord ing to the number of Units (1 ,2,3, or 4) they have studied in that subject, the number of Units determining the syllabus, or depth of syllabus, studied (and in many subjects, the standard, in spite of denials by the Board of Senior School Studies). The number of Units is chosen by the slUdents in accordance with a suggested motivation: 2A Units if the subject is not to be continued at tertiary level, 2 Units ifit is, 3 or4 Units ifit is to be continued at tertiary level in depth.

Under the old Level·system, the higher levels had more marks alloned to them in the examina· tions, and since Matriculat ion (Le. entrance to a tert iary institution) was gained by achieving a cer· tain total of marks, the higher the levels a student attempted, the greater was his or her chance of scoring a high total. Under the new system, each Un it is worth SO marks, and a student will be assessed on the best 10 Units, so each is competing for a total of 50 marks. Many slUdents, under· standably, have thus steered clear of more difficult subjects. and higher numbers of Units, for fea r of being at a disadvantage through fi nding il difficult to get high marks in these courses, compared with someone dOing easy subjects and only 2 or 2A Unit courses. '

Early this year the Board of Senior School Studies reassured students that such a si tuation would not arise, as there was to be a statistical analysis made of all results, a computer program would regrade all marks, and students would only be compared with others of their own leve l of abili ty, Le. those doing the same number of Units, in any particular subject. Dtlgree of difliculty of a particular subject was to be governed by an adj ustment of the average mark in each course to a common average of 25 in a total possible mark of SO, irrespective of the number of Units in the course, i.e. every course would have its marks adjusted to marksoul of SO, with an average of 25. Deta.ils of the statistics and the mathemat ics behind this were hazy, but we were assured that they were sound and would result in fair treatment for all.

Later in the year we were able to learn some detai ls of the stat istical method to be employed, full understanding requiring a knowledge of statistics and computer programming. As mentioned, every course will be adjusted so that the marks will be out of 50, with an average of 25. Next, each candidate in a course will bc compared with the others doing that course: each will have cal· culated the average of his marks in all other courses he is doing; these will be added and the aver· age taken, and compared with the average mark in the course being considered, if higher, all marks in the course will be raised by the differe nce between the two averages, if smaller, the marks will be lowered by the difference. When this has been done for every course each student will now have a new average of other·r.:ourses for any particular course, and so the procedure is repeated, and new adjustments to marks made. This iterat ion will cont inue, until the averages become con· slant.

The final mark will then be multiplied by the number of Units in the course, and this will repre­sent the student's fina l scaled mark in the course, and counl towards the total of his 10 best Uni ts.

The thinking behind this method is that brighter students will be doing the more difficult course, their avernge for thei r other courses will be fa irly high, and so the overall other·courses average will also be high, so the marks in that diflicuh course will be lifted. In the easier courses, most students will be less bright, with consequent low other-courses averages, and so the marks in those easier courses will be lowered. If bright students choose to do easy courses, they will have Iheir marks lowered, because of the number of less brigh t students in that course. If a less bright student chooses to do a harder course, his marks will be lifted , because of the brighter st udents doing thaI course.

I attempted to verify some of these claims by opernting on some recent results of examinations held here at Chevalier. I found that very early in the process the marks in difficult subjects, such as PhYSiCS, Chemistry, 3-Unit Mathematics, werc lifted, in one case quite considerably, and marks in easier subjects, such as Biology and 2A- Unit Mat hematics, went down. Using our micro-computer, I was ab le to carry out the iteration a number of times; already some averages were becoming con­stant , and the predicted trends were becoming evident: marks in the more difficult courses were going up, those in the easier were going down, with one or two exceptions; and a student doing, say, 3·Unit Mathematics was scoring a higher mark thun one of the same abil ity doing 2·Unil Math· ematics.

It would be nice to think that my experiment verified the claims for the HSC method of scaling markl, but it is hardly valid to go from a group of 80 students to a population of 35 OOIH-: who would be brave enough to say the trends will be the same? As an anti-c[imax, on ranking the 80 students on their aggregate from the new system, I achieved practically the same ranking as would have come from ranking them according to the grades they had been given on their term reports from the same examinations (our usual method), seeming to indicate that my efforts were largely a waste of time!

The NSW Teachers' Federation is also unhappy about this statistical approach and about future HSC results. They would seem to have a number of good points to make, one being that a number of Board of Senior School Studies statements of what they hope to achieve seem to be contra­dictory, another that the Board has fai led to make avai lable information to teachers and o thers interested, so that they could participate in discussion of proposals made to the Board_ A more dis­quieting point made is that an eminent statist ician, Professor of Statistics at the University of NSW, questions the statist ical validity of the procedures o utlined above, and the quality of the statistical advice given to the Board. Teachers from various secondary school,. are a Iso uniting in attacking the very notion of external public examinations as a measuring device, and more and more researchers in education condemn their usc.

Schools have been promised that next year at the Higher School Certificate examination 50% of the marks will come from teachers' estimates o r assessments. So a new question arises: does this mean that the HSC will eventually suffer the same fate as the School Certificate? Meanwhile, the Universities and other tertiary institutions will be re- thinking their requirements for admission, and wondering is the J-ISC going to be of use to them in the future, or will\hey have to inst itute their own entrance examinations.

AU this cannot be very heartening or helpful to the people who are to be subjected to these processes, either at Schoo] Certlfic!lte level, or at Higher School Certificate lcvel. We sometimes get upset by the younger generation, and deplore their trends and tendencies, and somehow we fail to be lost in admira tion at the way the great majority of them submit to the bewildering, terrifying, often incomprehensible tests we impose on them, the impossible goals we set before them, the dubious methods we use to grade and standardise them.

Times have changed dramatically since Chevalier first started Cadets in 1948, moved by the experi· ence of the first Rector , Father Reid. The mood of the nation has since changed, the attitudes of people and of politicians have been modified, the face of education is vastly different to what is was then. In the time since then Cadets have been an integral part of the education offered to its students, especially to its boarders. But one could well wonder whether the large, coeducational, regional school

that is Chevalier in 1976 has a place for cadets. Perhaps the time has come to realise that a tradition of the school is not in the best interest of the students who are now here. For this reason the disbanding of the Chevalier Cadet Unit along with the removal of the whole Australian Cadet Corps, hM given the school the opportunity to examine what cadets did. It was as if the tide had gone out, and the opportunity was given to examine life below the usual water level.

For those of us who were the observers, it seemed that without Cadets, life at Chevalier was somehow poorer, less varied than before - again, particularly for the boarders. There was sti ll sport (over a wider range than before); there was enrichment (available with a minimum amount of inconvenience to the students); there was a broader attitude towards letting boarders go home of a weekend (weekly boarders). Yet despite all of these things, there was a real element of boredom amongst the boarders. The students welcomed more free t ime, but could not cope with it. They were dissatisified without Quite knowing why . They missed the added dimens' ion that Cadets had given, an extra activity that was avai lable to all on a regular basis, and without addit­ional financia l a drain on the parents. It was something where the bulk of the school worked together, cutting across form barr iers, and where the responsibi lity and initiative came from the students themselves. Cadets were not started with these exact goals in view, but these ends came out of what w~s happening. and enabled the Cadets to have the impact they have had over the years.

The re-establishment of the Unit proceeded slowly. Following the initial announcement from the new government, there was a considerable delay before the Defence Department worked out how to trim expenses - it is still not completely clear what help wi ll be available from the Army. But even before full clar ification comes we need to express our grati tude to the Army and the Defence Department for their efforts with the cadets over the years. Basically they get very little in return for their efforts. except a lot of unpopularity in times of political crisis. It is the pupils, and the school, that profit from the budget vote for cadets, and it is handy for us to remember that this is so. In all one cannot see a defence advantage in the narrow sense from cadets. But one can see that Australia wi ll be better able to defend its interests if its citi%ens have more initiative. a wider range of experiences, and greater patriotism.

The uniform they wear identifies the cadets with the Army; when it is worn sloppily, with civilian long hair, and when the drill is done carelessly, it is the army that takes the blame. When cadet Officers are unimaginative and disorganised, it is the army that gets criticised. When things 90 wrong it is 'if th is is the side that won the war, what was the other side like?' FOf' taking all of this, without seeing at first hand the growth of the individuals on cadets; for keeping at the work of encouraging cadets when accused of training children to ki ll , even when this easily aimed barb is completely off the mark, we at Clevalier are grateful to the Army. We value greatly our past links with those fine Australian f;gurlH like accused of training children to kill, eve:1 when this easily aimed barb is completely off the mark, we at Chevalier are grateful to the Army. We value greatly our past links with those fine Australian figures like Brigadier Gallaghan, and so many other fine cit izens of our land.

When it became clearer what was proposed about cadets, staff and students were invited to discuss the desirability of bringing cadets back in. The disws­sions were very open, and surprisingly united. It was agreed that Cadets should be brought back in, but on a voluntary basis for the boarders as well as for the day students. It was interesting to see that there was a vigorous attitude amongst some of the boys

that they should remain compulsory even for those in Form VI. Since boarders have to be occupied, for them there was to be a choice between cadets and work around the grounds Of' at Harbeson Homes. This was to be a matter like any other matter concer­ning the students, where a decision was to be reached after consultation between students, parents and House Master. Most of those concerned in the disws' sion were unsure of how this would affect the numbers in the Unit, though some e)(pected a big drop off. As it turned out. the numbers started at 170, and became 190 when the Form VI students left the Unit and Form III students came in the third term.

A choice had to be made between leaving the re·introduction t ill the full army support was avai l· able in 1977, or starting immediately. Because of the presence of a particularly fine body of Form VI students who were qualified as Sergeants and CUD's. it was decided to start straight away, and carry any initial i)(penses on to Unit itself . This decision has not been regretted in any way. The calibre of an individ· ual like Cadet Commander, Adjutant CUD Richard Manochi, his uprightnlHs, his sharp vision, his enthusiasm made the Unit move well. He was ably supported by the RSM WO I J Friend, whose stead i· ness and reliability helped a good deal. This was especially evident at the bivouac. when his hard work improved track discipline immensely. The CUD's were good, each one being quite different to the others. There was interest. enthusiasm, hard work, thoroughness. The Unit owes much to these young men who could have taken the easy way out in the second part of their final year, but chose to come back and work for the Unit. In their work, one feature stands out: they were genuinely interested in the members of thei r platoons, and put themselves out for them. It was a service, more than a lording over others - and I am convinced that this is the spirit which we are aher. The other si)(th formers who stayed in also d id we ll : the work of Marc de Cure in teaching absei ling with quiet efficiency is a good e)(ample of what we want in cadets. Such efforts mean much to the Unit.

In re·establishing Cadets we knew quite well what we were doing, We saw value in the uniform, the inspections, the drill and the organisat ion. We were pleased that there were standards that the student$ themselves had to enforce. We had found that the Chain of Command, the rank structure, worked and gradually led to the development of individuals, and the growth of a unique spirit in section, platoon and company. We knew that we had an area of outdoor act ivities that were able to be grasped and taught by the students. But we wanted something more as well. In the past the Cadets have been too closely tied to army methods, arKl to straight army activities of a watered down variety . Over the past few years this has been changing. The Army had been introducing courses that have been more directh' challenging to young people, and they have been trainill9 the NCO's and the CUD's for them. This has been a complex and an expensive process, and it cannot now continue. But schools can continue from their own resources, and by their own determination to enrich the experiences of the students. The army will provide administrative and logistic supoort. but the organisation of a unit, and its training. lies squarely where it beloll9s - with the school.

Here at Chevalier we are well situated to carry out a series of activities that fit into the Cadet frame. work, and yet break new ground. We can work with the students so that they can train themselves to be prof icient in a number of areas former ly untapped, but now available to us. Instead of remaining entire ly with the basics of signals, intelligence, assault pioneer and medical work, we can go further and bring in abseiling and cliff rescue, orienteering and survival. shooting and trapping, vehicle maintenance, scuba

diving, canoe and watermanship work. There is almost no limit to what can be done, if there is the finance, and enough people to help out. And with this the Cadet work becomes more intellectually challenging and more useful for later life. All of these things can work together to make the Chevalier Cadet Unit an efficient and co-ordinated group of young people who can mount reasonably complex operations (perhaps more in the style of those of the State Emergency Service) and run them efficiently and effectively. This is no mean achievement, especially when the bulk of it is organised and carried out by the students themselves.

We have an ideal, but we also have problems. The Army offers less support than before, can do less training of NCO's and CUO's, and does not co­ordinate things as completely as before. We have a financial problem in trying to provide adequate equipment, but this is a minor matter when compared with the need to have personnel with initiative and drive to act as instructors, activating the student body without taking over from them. Things do look promising. We hllve rllised II little money from a hamburger stall ; we have run keen NCO and CUO courses; we have made appeals to old boys, parents and RSL members to help as instructors and lend a hand. Here is an area where parents can become more directly involved in education if they so desire. We have had some promising responses so far.

The Unit had to decide between preparing for a Ceremonial Parade this year. or trying to do work in the bush. Both are important, but because of the dearth of camps and bivouacs in the recent past, it was decided to gear training to a bivouac in Septem-

ber. It went e)(tremely well . It would have been hard to find a higher level of enthusiasm and cooperation. The unit tried to function as one coordinated body and to mount a relatively comple)( operation, run by those with rank . Despite the fact that there were no radios, and no army rations, things went very well -i!Jst as you would e)(pect from the united efforts of individuals like CUO's Mazzochi and 5IJllivan, and WOI Friend. The schoo l can be proud of the standard of compass work $hown, and of the achievement of the Unit after 7 parades. One wonders what could have been achieved by 110 fu ll year's training and camp.

In the third term, the Unit was re-organised with the Form V 5tudent5 in charge. The Gadet Comman­der was CUO P Stephens, and the RSM WO I J McGuigan. The new officen and NCO's started with keenness and willingness, and it is interesting to note the way in which. they grow in thei r concern for

others, for the good of the platoon. r feel that the thi rd term is a strange time to start a year's training, and I feel that th is needs to be reconsidered ne)(t year. In general, the level of keenness of all those in the unit has been a wondeful experience, and shows what the students really think of 'Chocs'. We hope that the level of training offered by the Unit can match this keenness.

I am very grateful for the work and effort of the Officers of Cadeu. So much depends on them, and their approach. In particular the Unit is most grate­ful to Fr J O'Connor, who has done a good deal for the band, and more recently in getting the sdlool and the Unit eQuipped wi th canoes. We welcome Major Burch with his wealth of e)(perience, and others that we know are interested in helping.

fOURTH ANNUAL CHEVALIER GYMKHANA

The fourth Annual Chevalier Gymkhana was held on the last Sunday before the end of second term, and once again this year we were blessed with perfect weather in which to enjoy the continuing activit ies of the Riding Classes, Hacking Classes, Sporting, Show·Jumping, Wood·chopping and a Tent·Pegging Demonstration.

All riding events had an excellent number 01 competitors with ribbons being awarded for first to fourth place·getters and five Champion Ribbons also being awarded in the three r ings. The three Special Trophies were won by the following: Master Mark Barton of Kangaroo Valley, in the under 12 year age group, Miss M. Small of The Oaks, in the 12 years and under 17 years age group, and Mr. Hal O'Donnel of Moss Vale in the Open Section.

The winner of the Chevalier Girl Rider, LellOre Holborrow, a fifth form student and the winner of the Chevalier Boy Rider, Ian Byrne, fourth form student, were eligible to compete in the Champion Chevalier Pupil Rider. Alter a very extensive work· out lenore Holborow was declared Champion and was presented wi th the tri·colour Ribbon and the Roma Arnull Trophy. Congratulations to l eonore.

Once again this year the Nepean Tent·Pegging Team very generously gave of their valuable time to demonstrate the art of tent·pegging. The riders as well as the horses were magnificently turned out and their expertise in precision riding drew large crowds of enthusiastic admirers, The team members were Mr. Neal Arnull of Burradoo, Mr. Ron Galway and Mr. Bill Heighs of Sydney. Neal Arnull and Ron

Galway are the Champion tent·pegging pair for N.S.W .. while Bill Heighs is the Champion Individ· ual Tent·Pegger for N.S.W., so we certainly $BW the tent·pegging at its best.

The Wood·Chopping as in previous years was a tremendous draw card. Thirty·six wood·choppers from far afield oompeted. Heats were held in the 12" Under Hand and the 12" Standing Block wi th finals of both held in the afternoon. In appreciation to the many interested people on the side line the wood·choppers gave a demonstration in the form of a Relay Spectacular.

In the Show and Sporting Rings experienced Judges were at work throughout the day. Mr. Ray Phelps of Gunning, Mr. Arnold Martin of Sydney and Mr. Steven Van Hemert also of Sydney judged in the three Show Rings. Mr. Neil Moxon of Bowral judge the Show·Jumping, ·Mr. Peter Stewart of Bowral the Trail Class and Mr. landon Burch 01 Exeter the Barrel Racing.

Mrs. Roma Arnull as Ring·Master handled the mammoth task of the equestrian organiSMion with her usual great eff iciency and as in previous years the success of the Gymkhana was largely due to Mrs. Arnul!'s expert guidance and help.

The catering side was very effectively organised by the Chevalier Parents and Friends' Committee and Mr. Stan Henderson did a magnificent job of compering, adding colour to a most entertaining and enjoyable day for all ooncerned.

THE PREFECT SYSTEM

The Prefect system of student representation found crit ical difficulty due to its re-introduction and thus. lack of recognition amongst students. How· ever. with the help of Brother Floyd, the Prefect body gradually collected a practical and theoretical knowledge concerning the role of the re ·introduced system. This enabled Prefects to gain some basis on which to establish influence within the school. Alia· cated three (and in some cases two) to a form , Pre· fects were responsible in maintaining interest and care for individual form members. The achievement of the Prefects during the year may only be gauged on the efforts made by various individuals. In the Junior forms Justin Newman took charge in both first and second forms; his work was mOst creditible and well assisted by Michael Ball. The senior forms proved more d ifficult due to student indifference; disregarding this, Kim Fisch and John Friend were always influential and prepared to carry the burden 01 organisation.

Thlluretically, the Prefects during the year pro· duced a "Prefect Document" that defined and in·

deed, established a written constitution from which future Prefects may benefi t . The document contains a prayer, pledge, definit ion of the role of Chevalier Prefects and most importantly allows for potential Prefects in Year 11 a term in which tra ining and practical experience may be enforced. The main aim at such a definition is to make the Prefect a greater influent ial and practical force within the . school.

In summary, the Prefects of 1976 have made worthwhile foundations from which future Pre· fects may work.

CANOEING

With an initial grant from Fr Franzmann, to buy moulds and other equipment, the canoe group has succeeded in building fifteen canoes _ all one· man· kayaks suitable for slalom and touring work.

Local waterways proved excellent initial training gro~nd for the budding canoeists as well as providing a wonderland of scenic water ways and bird life. Cold weather has inhibited going out on to the water; so much effort has been concentrated on building the canoes. Mr. Tony Doyle has been very generous in his assistance in this area. In preparing the boys lor

their participation, Mr. Brian O'Donnell has con· ducted the life·saving programme and seeing that each canoeist has gained at least a Bronze Medallion.

An all ied and popu lar area in p lastics has been the making of moulded plastic chessmen. So, canoeing does hold a large fie ld of potential involvement and educational recreation for the students of Chevalier. Hopefully, these areas will develop and allow many students, gir ls and boys, a richer educational exper· ience at Chevalier.

THE BIROS OF BARRALLIER

Sheltered by towering mountains and hugged by the beautiful bubblirlg waters of the Wollondilly River is Barrallier. To satisfy the milJd, one needs to visit the area for its beauty and peace; its tran· quility, yet awe·inspiring grandeur, cannot be penn' ed to paper lest the pen fail to capture the scene as it is meant to be - a scene of thirlgs that once were.

To say it is an example of true wilderness would be exaggerating, since it has seen some changes in its characteristics, but there is still enough left to say it is different, and that is the way we would like it to remain.

Father Strarlgman has opened up a way in which many a student from Chevalier can now en joy the pleasures of 8arrallier. and it is hoped that his long· awaited dream will bear fruit by giving enjoyment to those who, in the past, may have ignored a true natural heritage of our oountryside or to those who just simply would not have had a chance.

Perhaps the most significant and captivating in· terest at BarraUier is the bird·life. I have lived all my life in the Berrima District. and as a result have oover· ed it intensely looking for areas where good birding can be assured, but as yet have found nothing to equal and satisfy my needs as does Barral lier .

Actually. Barrallier can afford to be boastful, as there are many species of birds found there that cannot be found anywhere else in the district - if they can be found, then they will certainly not be as plentiful and as easily observed . In an average day's bird·watching in the late spring-early summer ooe will easily reach a list of over 70 species, and without leaving the oonfines of the river and the "SOO·acre Flat". If a walk down to Shauny Creek were included, then the list may well reach over 80 species.

A weekend camp organized by me for the N.S.W. Field Ornithologists' Club was held, in whim I hoped certain species of birds may have been dis· covered that had been overlooked in past years. That weekend yielded just on 9 1 species. Many of the birds were 'first' sightings. Of oourse, this is the birdwatcher's delight - to be able to go out for a day and catch a glimpse of some species not pre· viously seen.

Every year a large number of summer migrant spe­cies return to Barrallier to nest and raise yourlg, and when autumn moves in the birds leave for the war~r regions of Australia and beyond. One of the 'beyond' species is the Channel·billed Cuckoo. They are known under several names, such as Squawking Hawk, Fig HawK. Storm Bird and Hornbill. Once seen the bird is unmistakable and once heard from close rarlge is unforgettable. They appear nowhere else in the dis, trjct but at Barrallier. The Channel·biU is only one of six cuckoos that have been listed for the area.

Barrallier is not without in fair share of nectar­feedirlg species, such as the 12 different species of Honeyeaiers which have been recorded in the area. Of these the rare and strikingly beautiful Regent Honeyeater, is the most delightful. I have seen them nesting on the "Shauny Creek Flat" and watched

them attending to full·flying young on the "500·acre Flat".

The Honeyeaters are no doubt attracted to the area by the bountiful supply of blossom that the various eucalyptus trees bear. but it is not only the blossom that beckons the nectar·feeders, but the vast amount of miSlletoe that grows on the casuarinas lining the banks of the river. little Lorikeeu and Grey-breasted Silvereyes, also nectar·feeders. find a liking in the flower, but the bird who finds the great· est delight is the beautiful Mistletoebird. It is the sole representative in Australia of a family of birds known as Flowerpeckers.

Hooded Robins, Rufus Songlarks, Brown Tree­a-eepers and Speckled Warblers are but a few birds which appear to have a very limited and restricted range outside the Barrallier region. A bird which seems to mare a close relationship to the Hooded Robin and is found in the same type of country as that species is the petite Red ·capped Robin. How­ever, despite much searching, it has failed to show up.

Raptor species are by no means common in the area. for they were victims of much shooting in past years and their numbers have never fuUy recovered. It was extremely good country in which to observe Wedge·tailed Eagles and the smaller birds of prey sud"! as Peregrine Faloon, Collared Sparrowhawk, Whistling Kite and Black·shouldered Kite. Even the majestic White·breasted Sea·eagle has been observed on the river.

Small birds of numerous species abound, and to mention or single out anyone species would be quite wrong since none is so possessed as to glorify over another. In recent years there has been a notice­able decl ine in the population of some of the Finches. The Diamond Firetail and Banded Finches are now only seen in very small flocks and in pairs, but the seasons may have been a contributing factor. Let us hope that it has been this cause and not illegal ex­ploitation from trappers.

The loss of suitable nesting sites in banks has caused a drastic decline in the numbers of Azure Kingfishers and, together with pollutants in rivers and streams elsewhere. has given adequate reason for alarm by ornithologists. Fortunately, the Rain-

bowbirds are still to be found in good numbers and their nesting tunnels can be found in the soft soils that adjoin the river banks.

Another feature which makes for such a wide variety of species to be observed is the small, but definite, remnants of a once tropical rainforest vegetation. This vegetation appears only in small and sheltered pockets of the immediate river banks and steep gullies leading up from the river. In these pockets one will find birds such as Brown Warblers, White·lxowed Scrub Wrens, Lyrebirds, Satin Bower· b irds, King Parrots, Lewin Honeyeaters and Rufus Fantails - all birds that are normally associated with the wet sclerophyll forests of the southeast slopes.

Not surprisingly a list of the birds found around Barrallier has grown to over 124 species. This means

that over the entire Berrima District more than half the known species will be found at Barrallier.

But to see and appreciate the birds of the area one has only to visit it for one night and one morn· ing, because it is then that the birds are at their best, with constant marking and proclamation of territo ries by use of song which will leave the ob· server breathless. Each species is trying to outdo its own kind, and each kind is trying to make its pre· sence heard above all others.

May God richly bless you in your projected work and aims with Barrallier, for, without your foresight, Fr. Strangman, a rare joy and pleasure would be loS! to so many 01 our young people.

THE MISSION GROUP

Interest in the missions has continued, some classes showing more initiative and generosity than others. Those conducted by Sister Joseph have been generous, and 3/2 and 1/2 were also very good. The hot chocolate has continued to be the chief source of income, and the Walkathon donated 5500 in place of the other "thons" we usually have.

The visiting priests from Papua we gave $100; to the diocesan missions 5400; to the Catholic Enquiry Centre $100; boys like Stephen Halls and G. Ruediger and R. Wulf spent much time "in selling about $200 of tickets for the Marist Fathers. With those same

Marists we were able to give $1000 to Fr A. Young on an island in Eastern Papua where the natives would have no future, were it not for a fishing co· operative he has begun; the donation we sent wi ll help towards a large refrigerator.

The classes and the individuals who have helped raise nearly $2000 and are responsible for apostolic work in various parts of the world. Please God, they are rewarded with vocations themselves one day.

CHOIR

July, 1976, will remain indelibly imprinted in the minds of the 26 members of the Chevalier Choir who took part in the Combined Smools' Music Festival in the Sydney Town Hall. This was held over two nights.

The first half of the programme each night was provided bV individual schools' items, sum as moi", recorder groups, chamber orchestras and instrumenta· lists. The second half was for larger combined groups of orchestra, Jazz band and massed choir. Highlights

Br. J. Bo.llm find Br. R. Pritchard

were the very fine combined orchestra under the direction of Mr. Peter Seymour from Sydney Grammar, and the combined choir and orchestra rendition of excerpts from carl OrH's "Carmina Burana" which held the audience spellbound.

Our first and second form boys found out just what it means to be in a choir, practising for six days for up to six hours a day, but, after it was over, they agreed that it had been worth it. A word of acknowledgement is due here to Riverview College who looked after our billetting arrangements.

Chevalier provided variety in the programme as 12 of our Fifth Form girts ~ng in our moir on the second night, and were the onlv girls to take part. TheV were well rCQCived.

Mr. Szonvi'l Combo Group travelled to Sydney on the seoond day to acoompanv our choir, whim they did very well. Again the tremendous contrib­ution of Mr. Szonvi to music in the School was evident. Thanks are also due to Mrs. Topp who helped train the choir and who spent the week in Sydney with the boys.

It was interesting to see senior students from St. Stanislaus. Bathurst, and Sydney Grammar taking sum an enthusiastic part in the choir activities.

MOMENTS ...

as perceived by

Fr.A.Bolt M.S.C.

8ullding had not been very noticeablu ovur t he Chrittmlls period. The drivu near the library had been resurfaced. and Bosco had e d ifferent snade of green from eWry aSjJeCt. The new science laboratories. compleled II' ,he end of .ltSt veor , come inlo operation. re lieving some of ,he pressur. on (he other laboratories. bul making lhe lower 80''' of tho school w rv COngeSled. Ho_r they did relllllll a room for Geo­graphy- and for ...aolclasing. P<en l ice Park and d riveway gradually tOOk on I more finished look ItS the year pro­grH sed. The library IIrr...,.gement was changed. giving greater ;x:cen 10 malerials, and the aud io-viwal area came under the capable hand, of Mr Heron. New stall members included Fr Prentice and Fr Boll . returning to the scena of previous actions, Fr Rate and Brothers Flovd and 6oelan, Mr Topp. Mr Molo nev and Mr Churchill. For the record, turther changes look place duri ng the year. as Robert South Dor· mitory WItS redesignlld, and a handsome trophy lIfea was con· structed 8t the rear of the Hall-above thl camouflaged grand piano.

Classes gOt under way quickly. 1I'00t plellsure belng expo-Hsed aI''''' resu lts 01 the examinations In 1975. The COI,OrR$ offered Ihis year included the usual wbjec ls. wi lh so .... music and craft work included. In addi t ion "enricto· ment~ soon begitn. taking ana Iiterrooon I week. OppOrtun i· tie s ..... rll giYlln for playing instrumenlS, cho ir and dancing. drama and cooking. leather and lapidury work. In eddi l io n many were engrossed in cricket umpiri ng. voya. orienteering. life $lIVing and !irst aid. canoeing and local social st ud ies, and trDins. ch~s lind even card •. Fr O'Connor and Mr Doyle

made great progress in producing canoes, building, on a cooperative basis, something like 15 in the year. In the same field of unusual materia ls, a variety of handsome chess sets of advanced design were produced by Fr O'Connor and his he lpers.

But 3,30 does not see the end of "enrichment". Other activities go on after school including mechanics. horse· riding, chess, judo, shooting and studio club. All these are in addition to the oridinary sporting activities that were widened stil l further when Brother Merrick put down greens for a six-hole golf course, and a bike riding 'club became established-however none were game to jOin the veteran in the G9ulburn to Sydney race . Soon the place had a vast array of bikes of all shapes and sizes that seem to be capable of going anywhere. Mind yOU, the daddy of all the b ikes is simply huge-quite fining for the diminutive staff member who rides it.

Swimming began the long list of sporting activities for the year, with a cheeful school urging on the competitors at the carnival: Osburne was the fastest through the waters of the Mittogong pool. But even then the talk was about football , and the possibile members of the first XV. However, for a time it seemed tllat vo lleyball might become the major sport of the schoo l, although some were nasty enough to think the fact that it took place during study time increased its popu· larity with borders. It is also a sport where the girls can hold their own with the boys-sometimes. Girls' sports got under way in real earnest despite the fact that we have no reason-

able changing facilities for the gir ls, and few female instruc­tors. Sporting arrangements were further complicated by the fact that while the rest of the State was complaining of drought conditions, Bowral was wet in the usual fashion. Cricket· was very popular, many teams playing in t he local competition, so much so that Saturday became a logistics nightmare- with teams needing to be taken to all the village greens in the area- and even to some where there is no village. Many teams had ample opportunitY to show sports· manship, but the first X I fared we ll, and cricket seems to have a yery bright future.

March saw the school newspaper Fort·Night, well estab­lished. Under the capable pen of editor Mark Wallace the standard of article and presentation became quite high. Without a doubt urged on by example of fellow journalists of Watergate fame, the staff of Fort-N ight, and the students in general, added comment to what was happening in the school , passed doubtful compliments, and sought reasons for the decline in schoo l spirit-a reality that seems to be most present when its absence is most remarked upon. It main­tained a high standard rigM through the year, and added much to the life and vita lity of the school. It showed that the main thing in the school is the people in it. The cartoons, obviously inspired by the superhuman deeds of classical heroes, and somewhat intellectual in coment, showed that David O'Halloran has a talent that puts this feature of the paper in national class. For a while FortKnight's monopoly of the media was challenged by the TV neVIlS, produced as part of "cnrichment", but tcchnical difficulties prevented its continuing beyond the first term.

Every Tuesday, without fail, the Gen group met and tried to bring about a Christian community: The meeting in Melbourne in January had given tho se present a new hope and new conviction. They used the resources of the school at Barrallier, and also Yerranderie to relax, and to draw closer together in the spirit of Christ . The same places were used by those in the school who wanted to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme. Mr Tony Burke, an old-boy, was employed to help in this, and the extent of his knowledge, and his interest in the participants, were quite remarkable. Fr Strangman, with Mr Topp and Mr. Ryan, were the staff members involved in this, and each weekend some would treck there and back, . and find the quiet, and the solitude, and the unspoiled country exhilerating. During the year trial and final expeditions were made, and the school and the

pupils benefited very much. The State Emergency Services conducted some training courses for the students.

April saw the beginning of the football season, with much confidence and enthusiasm in evidence. There had been haUlS of training at Grunt Hill in preparation for it, and

. many more hours in trying 10 select the team for the first match-complicated by the disabilities of Martin Sullivan and Mark Wallace. There can be no doubt that the wearing of the first XV jumper, and running down the steps to the main oval is the pinnacle of achievement at Chev still- perhaps even the girls aspire to it. Exams followed-worse than any ruck - and bru ises were felt by fifth and sixth formers alike.

The May holidays saw a trip by the 1st XV to sunny Queensland. to sample the ban&nas and t he footbal l. Money

had to be raised first, and various strategies were used to do this: the dance at Moss Vale probably helped the pop group to go there. but did not help the footballers. The team met with one defeat, against the University U/18, and repaid Downlands for its hospitality by defeating them 12-5. Less spectacular ly the ho lidays were used by Kim Fisch and a couple of other girls to spend a week at a drama school :n Sydney-and the whole school benefited from their experi · ence later in the year. Meanwhile the religious community al Chevalier gathered under the direction of some former teachers at Chevalier, Fathers Edmiston and Fletcher to refresh their spirit and renew their ideals.

However. let us not think that football is the only thing that reQuires training and cond ition ing. There is something else that requires months of practice. and to which the girls aspire asmuchasthe boys. And this is the Chevalier 8all, where this year 28 yOung ladies made their debut. For the boys the selection process was as exacting as for the 1st XV. The occasion turned out to be a most impressive one. being held at the Bowling Club, the only place in the district that could cater for the 420 pcopie who attended. The grace and charm of the occasion was COMplemented by the words of Mr K. Cairns, M.H.R., and for the parents (IOd students alike it was a valedictory occasion- at the beginning of the second term. T he many hours of testing the strength of the founda· tions all bore fruit ; the anxiety over the choice of dress, or the right frills for the tuxedos-even the last minute panic of Paul Bennett whose photO a half an hour before departure would have been in place in Mad magazine were worth it.

June brought the Feast of the Sacred Heart. and the Mass at the Clubbe Hall, Frensham must rank as one of the high points Of the year. Solemnly the school gathered to be a community at worship, to refresh the religious ideals that has made Chevalier what it is. Frensham has the on ly hall that

will take the whole school comfortably, and the elegant set­ting was very fitting for the occasion. The evening before many of the staff gathered for a vigil to meditate together on the Heart of Christ, whose Spirit gave the College its spirit. The day was a unifying one, and brought a deep sense of ioy to the school.

The mass was able to take p lace on the day set. because it was indoors. and so independent of the Bowral weather. But it is hard to hold a "walkathon" inside, and so it had to be postponed severa l times, becasue of the rain . Much preparat · ion had to take place beforeha·nd, and the younder students were particularly keen and active. The purpose was to raise money fo r handicapped ch ildren, and to obta in a smaller bus for local sport. This was achieved, although there w as some delay before delivery could be taken of the bus. About the same time there was a well -a ttended parent- staff interview day. and teachers were delighted wi th the large number of parents who attended. At this time also the choir was able to spend a week in Sydney to take part in a training programme, and they benefited from the experience and the hospitality .

After having been disbanded for eight months, Cadets came back to Cheva lier in July: the old uniforms were reo issued, and training got under way. The smell of brasso was in the air, and much polishing took place during the Friday afternoon classes. The keenness of some of the younger cadets was Quite frightening, but the novelty is sure to wear off, and the Cadet uniform wil l be treated with the same respect as school clothes. While it lasts it is good to see, especially when one realises that it is other students who are insisting on the standards in dress. The comp laint of the CUO's was that there were no stirrers left. I n the past there have been many gripes about Cadets; when they went they were missed; they have come back w ith renewed enthusiasm. Here is another area where Richard Massodli (Adiutant) and Robert Friend (RSMl have left their mark on the schoo l. The Cadets are not in opposition to the Duke of Edinburgh's Scheme; most of those in Cadets are not part of the scheme.

After innumerable games of football in the various age groups, the important football season came to a close. Though soundly defeated by the Old Boys tean, the 1st XV made the Quarter finals of the Slate-wide Waratah Shield. Two under 16 players, Jim McGuigan and Nigel Davis made the NSW Country team. Then, with the weather sti ll quite cold, ath letics came in: the Co llege Carnival was washed out by a deluge after a very bleak day. But it was to be the horses that would have the last say for t he term, and they took over the playing f ields for the Cheva lier Gymkhana. It was well run by the Parents and Friends Association, the standard was high, and the large crowd was most appreciate, even the horses were happy.

CHEVALIER'S SECOND DEBUTANTE BALL

Bowral Country Club was again the yenue for the Chevalier Debutante Ball - the second - on Friday, 28 May, when 28 attractive girls, beautifully growned in white, were presented to the 1·lon. Kevin Cairns, M.P., and Mrs. Cairns before a capacity gathering . . Mr. Cairns is a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Economics from Queensland University, a

Bachelor of Dental Science (Sydney University) ilUU is all Economic Consullanl and Lecturer. He was a fonner Minister for Housing in the Uberal Federal Government, and is at present the Uberal Member fo r Lilley in Queensland and Secretary for the Government Member, Education Commit­tee. He has had a previOUS association with Chevalier College.

Receiving the young people, Mr. Cairns said that, looking at the young ladies who had been pre· sented to him, and at their partners, the advantages of co-education (so far as il existed at Cheval· ier) were obvious.

The girls, all sixth-form students at the School, were escorted by young men who were fe llow sixth-formers. Each girl carried a posy of yellow and white nower!, tied with green ribbon, giving a pleasing touch of colour against the white of the elegant gowns. Dark green bow ties and match­ing edging to the lapels of the black dinner suits worn by the escorts, gave green its rightful place of importance - it is the Senior School colour.

As each couple appeared they were announced by Mr. Charles Dunk of Miltagong, who also acted as Master of Ceremonies for the evening, his humour adding to the festive atmosphere.

Addressing the young people, Mr. Cajrns said : "Tonight is a wonderful night, and a most important one. This little ceremony is one that is not as common as it used to be. In the cities it is dying out a litt le. It is wonderful to come to the

country .... and to see a presentation such as you have tonight, because, above all, it represents that you, especially the young ladies - it's their night. a special night - from now on you are in the world and a part of the world. And there are many people that will give you all kinds of advice about it. They'li say to you 'Well. you take OUI of it what you can - gel out of it what you can ­or you take your luck from now on.' But , with the kind of background and the kind of training that you have, and the serenity of background that your education will give you, it wiU fit you much better to face the vicissitudes of life than you would otherwise - and that's an experience and a weapon which is denied to many people. Now, if I can pursue the gambling analogy a little further : you are entering upon the gamb le of life - and sometimes it can be good and sometimes it mightn't deliver all that you want it to deliver, but you must always remain an optimIst."'

Mr. Cairns went on to say "We want you 10 be realists and optimists. Tonight is a wonderful night for you. I hope that you will remember it forever."

Mr. Cairns offered his congratulat ions to the young people, and all their families and relatives. Credit for the success of the Ball is undoubtedly due to the enthusiasm and hard work of the

Chevalier Ball COlllrniltee, and to the many hours of training of the debutantes and their partners by Mrs. Brian Ellsmore and Brother Alal1 Floyd, the Marton of Honour, Mrs. Keith Williams, and 10 Mrs. Richard Newman who provided a very pleasant musical accompaniment during Ihe pre­sentation ceremony.

Included in the official party with Mr. and Mrs. Cairns were Mr. Michael Baume , M.P. , member for Macarthur, Rev. Father J . Franlmann, M.S.C., Headmaster of Chevalier, Rev. Brother B. Smith, M.s.C .. Bursar, Mr. Keith Williams, President of the Chevalier Parents' and Friends' Asso· ciat ion, and Mrs. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Brian ElIslllore, and Ball Committee members Mrs. Len Wallder, Mr. :md Mrs. Bob Uoyd and Mrs. Colin Munsie.

CHEVALIER CYC LE CLUB

This year we were able to inaugurate our own cycl ing club at the College. Quite a goodly number of boys availed themselves of the opportunity and thanks to the generous parents were able to line up quite a few excellent machines. About sixteen seem to be the usual number of riders and from th is group ten riders have joined the recently formed Southern Highlands Amateur Cycling Club, established here in Bowral. The colours are lime green jacket with one red stripe and two white stripes on chest and red trim

on collars and arm bands. Apart from College riding these boys participated in local road and track racing and competed favourably against Goulburn, Can­berra, Shoalhaven (Nowra), Illawarra and Sydney Clubs. Generally meetings are held here at the College or at Bundanoon once a month. Bundanoon is at the moment remodelling a cycte track for the Club's use. Apart frQm riding the boys gain a useful mechanical knowledge and safety rules and precautions. A set of training rollers is used frequently. Glen Par ry has been chosen with a Bowral High boy, Arthur Targa to represent the Southern Highlands Club in the School Boys Road Championships at Sutherland's Waratah Park on 30th October. Other creditable performers have been Michael Stack: and Michael McCoy in the Juvenile Division and Robert Brewer in the Junior Division where he gained lirst place in the Junior Road Championship. Dougal Wilson shows great promise in the Sub·Juvenile Division.

Southern Highlands Committee members are as follows: Mr. A lan Ducksbury, President; Mr. Brian Ward, Secretary; Mrs. Torya, Treasurer; Mrs. Gregory, Handicapper and Brother Merrick, Referee.

Brother Dave Merrick, M.S.C.

P.S. Competition Riders' requirements are as follows: One bike in sound condition. crash hat, arm guards, special riding shoes and pedal plates and club jersey and vim, vigour and vitality. Very little science but a mighty lot of dash as the poem has it and we cater for young and old, i.e. from a nine year old Gregory Moore to a filty year or over! so join the ranks.

BAND FESTIVAL With what must surely have been simply the reo

suit of prover - the fine weather, the '76 Band Fes­tival must h'lve been tilt: must successful of aiL With a programmo made professional with the many sketches of FI Patrick O'Carrigan who visited last year, the Band Festival has developed into a day ou tstanding in its atmosphere.

Well know band~ . too numerous to itemize, and others iust beginning .,njoy playing and participating in the festiv31. In part icular, the Massad Band made up of hundreds of players never ceases to impress with its overwhelming sonority. While the two hymns played are included primarily as suitable mUSical

items. the religious significance of Hail Queen of He(M!n and Rock of Ages COuld not be lost as real prayers of thanks to God for soch a beautiful occa· sian. If the unity and good spin: of the day were normative fo r ellery day of the year. we could truly say that the idealism of Chevalier had been realized.

With greater planning and involven'en t with the local floral festival, only greater succ.<!ss can be assured and Chevalier will be promoted in a quite unique way to the public at large. This, it i~ becom· ing dearer, has already come ::thour; hopetully, iT wi ll continue and develop,

VERRANDERIE BARRALLIER

DUKE OF EDINBURGH'S AWARD SCHEME

WHAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED

The use of Barral1ier and Yerranderie to develop the skills and experiences aimed at within the broad field of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme has been achieved with a large measure of success. This is due to the general guidance and inspiration of Father Strangman and the skill and training tech· niques employed by Tony Burke, who is at present involved in a further course of study in the U.K. , in preparation for the beginning of the new school year.

In outline, the expeditionary section of the Scheme, which is not restricted to those within the Award, aims to develop a student who is highly "self" motivated, and at the same t ime competent to navigate in, enjoy, explore, respect the Australian bush, in this particular case the Blue Mountains region. These characteristics would seem a taU enough order for a school student, but we impose an exact· ing safety code which is developed through a strong consciousness of the need to act effectively and rationally as a group under all conditions, particular· Iy in adversity. Leadership is not imposed, but developed through the realisation of the individuals within the group that this particular crisis may be the point where their particular blend of skills, persona· lity and experience can achieve the best results.

There have been three expeditions of a major nature this year amongst a myriad of smaller elementary training expeditions. All interested boys and girls are required to attend elementary training courses with Mr. Burke at Barrallier before anything of a major nature is attempted.

The first two expeditions were of a traini r.g nature, in which part ies were organised, there being four or five to a party. Each group was required to plan a route through reasonably difficult terrain under the supervision of Tony Burke. In the act of carrying out these route plans, the parties were observed, supervised and debriefed by Mr. Burke, who was able to assess the suitability of individuals to be permitted to form a group for a test expedition.

Some discovered to their disappointment that Tony's exacting code of co·operative safety made otherwise creditable performances look unsatisfact· ory, but the lessons were well learned.

The upshot of the two training expeditions was the presentation of two groups of four for their Silver Award expedition during the 'irst week--end of third term. The groups planned and equipped their expedi· tions. They spent two nights out, walking from Bullio to Verranderie, arriving at their dest ination in good spirits, having achieved their objectives with a high degree of safety.

At the same t ime as the test groups were in the bush, two more groups under the supervision of Mr. Ayan and Mr. Topp were completing a further training expedition between Barrallier and Yerran· derle.

Naxt year the number and divenity of students who will be able to take part in the Barrallier-Yerran· derie project will increase, due to increased staff involvement. Mr. Doyle wi ll be involved, and the completion of the hut at Barrallier is an ticipated. Dates have been set aside throughout the year for students of all age groups to have opportunities to experience the exhilaration of a really fulfilling way of developing self·reliance and an appreciation of our most valuable heritage, the bush.

TOUR 1976

CHEVA LI ER NEW ZEALAND TOUR, 1976.

This year's College tour was a tittle different from those previously undertaken. Parents were invited to join the lour, and I am pleased that many (19, in fact ) took the opportunity of doing so.

On Tuesday. 31 August, at 8.45 a.m., a local bus left the College bound for Sydney International Airport. On arrival, we met the rest of the tour party, and booked OUf luggage through to New Zealand, We were then ready to leave for OHistchurch at 1.45 p.m., and, once airborne and over the initial "take-off jitters", we were rushed with service by the stewards on our Camas fligh t.

The flight lasted just over three and a half hours, and those lucky enough to have window seats could see only water below until about hal f an hour out of Christchurch, when we looked down on beautiful snow-capped peaks.

On arrival at Christchurch, and after completing the usual Customs forma li ties, we were taken to our camp fo r an overnight stay. The parents were driven to the People's Palace.

Bright and early the next morning the party set out to have breakfast at the Railway Station; then left Christchurch for Mount Cook. We were fortunate enough to see the top of th is, the highest mountain in New Zealand . Here we were able to enjoy our fi rst snowfight, while on a walk under the direction of an al pine guide.

We arr ived at Otenatata fo r our second overnight stay. ''I'm sorry, but we're out in the never·never tonight, and you' ll have to have an early night - you can ~tay up late tomorrow night l" This was what the young people heard from Brother Sm ith at Otenatata.

Next day the first point of interest we visited was the Ben more Power Stat ion - then on through the green grasslands to Dunedin in the south of South

Embarking for Milford Sound

Island. This we found a good shopping spot. Some of the group also found this a fine place for playing cards and celebrating a birthday - all in the spirit of the holiday!

The Fiordland National Park we found very inter­esting and beautiful, and then on to Te Anau, where we spent an enjoyable evening - some in the Motor Camp and others in the Te Anau Hotel. Some of us went for a short flight on a ski -plane, veiwing Mount Cook and Milford Sound from the ai r .

The trip to Milford Sound via Homer Tunnel and Eglinton Valley on the following day was very pleasant. Arriving at Milford Sound we embarked on a launch for a t rip up the Sound, lunching aboard.

From Milford Sound we headed towards Queens­town, arriving late at night, and spending the next morning enjoying the village sights - Queenstown is essentially a tourist centre. From there we went on to Wanaka, and attended Mass at the local church on arrival. Father Rippin, Franzmann and Herbert celebrated Mass. Our party of 70 completely filled the small church!

Br. B. Smith M.s. c. with his mother at Rotoroua.

From Wanaka we journeyed through Haart to Fow Township. visiting the Fox Glacier before moving on to Franz Josef. In the evening we were taken to the Park HeadQuarters. where we were entertained by a very interesting talk by a Park Ranger, illustrated with slides of the local area, We d ivided into our two groups for overnight accommodation - what the other party did, we don't know - but they d id leave half the luggage behind the next day!

Next day, Tuesday, 7 September, was a long and tir ing day, As is usual on Chav. trips. we hacLBUS t roublal The second coach developed problems and we lost three hou rs of the day on the roadside. We trave lled via Greymouth, Reehon. Murchison, l ake Rotoiti and the Wairau Valley. arr iving at Blenheim in the evening - where the Hotel/Motel section of the group was "attacked" for baing late for dinner, while the Spring Creek Camp people were greeted by a very heavy rain shower.

Next day saw us on a shoppil'lQ spree in Blenheim for several hours, before leaving for Picton to await the ferry which would carry us over the Wellington.

The t rip was very rough - and I don't th ink there was one in the party who would say it was en joyable!

On arrival at Wellington we were greeted by our new bus d rivers (oops! - sorry, Coach Captains) and taken to oui' overnight accommodation. Here some of the adult members of the tour party, decided to have a look at Wellil'lQton by night - they found it a beautiful place, lass sophisticated than some othar cities,

The following day saw us at Aotorua for a two-night stay. I think this would have been voted the most popu lar spot we visited. We attended a Maori concert, the Rainbow Trout Springs, Maori Arts and Crafts Centre. The smell of the su lphur in Rotorua has to be experienced to be believed I

On our last evening in New Zealand. we were in Auck land. We spent the next morning touring the city, including the Museum, and we left Auckland abourd a 747 fl ight bound for Sydney, carrying a total of 413 passengers and 19 crew.

We had all had a wondeful ti me - and the one Quest ion all were asking was 'When can we do it again 7"

Football

The 1976 foolball season - one of resounding successes and dismal failures - a strange mixture.

We managed to reach the quarter finals of the Waratah Shield, but were unable to win a single match in the T.C.S. Competition (one loss and three draws), We beat a number of very strong teams only to suffer defeat at the ends of seemingly weaker ones,

Our biggest problem was OUf backs' lack of ability to penetrate and an overall lack of depth in the Open Teams.

The forwards, though not a big pack, were at least the equal of most that they met. Their scrummaging was of a very high standard, despite the lack of weight at the back, and their mauling was at t imes top class and never better than in the first half of the match against Manly Bovs' High.

tn retrospect our wins probably came because of a tremendous team spirit and will to win rather than because of superior football abi li ty. Highlights of the season were our victory over Randwick Boys' High in the first match this year: our 16-8 win over arch

rivals St. Patrick's, Goulburn; the great struggle against Oaramalan College in the Waratah Shield match which we won 6·3 after playing twenty min· utes of extra time, and our three wins from four matches during the May Visit to Brisbane.

The PlaVe ..

John Friend. Captain. In our search for a sueousful back line COmbination found himself in a nurrber of unaccun· omed positions. He acquitled himself well in all those I)OS;I' 'ons and led the team well.

Creig Brown. VIe&-CaPIQ'n. A wong forward, excellent scrummanager. dictated plav in the mauls. Somewhat Ilow. bu t alwaVlthere when needed.

P(lter Gillman, A reallv (IOOd hooker who plaved except· ionallv well in the open. Contributed in rIO small way to our victories bV usuallv winning more than our fair share of ball.

Brell Pal/cock. A graat line Out man. GOt so high on occa­sions it was hard to belle .... he was no t being lilted. A good mauler.

Ric~rtI Mazz/Xhi ,ncI Jim McGuigan. Diminutive IIICOI1d rowen who were able to hold the ir own with the bilJgtlt in scrummaging and tight plaV.

Phil McMahon. Played so~ 'blind",,' and had some bad games. In form a great lock forward.

Mark Wa/~e. Hall back. Miued the earlv pari of ttlt sea­son through injury arod was struggling to lind hil form in 1915. Had lOme good games.

CRICKET 1ST XI - 191~16

From the beginning of the season it became evi· dent that a young, enthusiastic team would represent the College in the local A grade competition. Ullder the excellent CaPtaincy of Martin Szonyi, the feature of the XI was team work.

Admittedly, the Team lost more matches than it won, but the boys enjoyed their Cricket and happi· ness and willingness to try were always evident.

Justin Newman and Philip McMahon opened the batting, but never really got going - Phil seemed to have only "edges" on his bat!

Jim Eccleston, our No.3, took out the batting average with 305 runs with an average of 19. He was also our opening bowler - fast, but not accurate enough. Martin Szonyi, who took the new ball with J im, took 47 wickets with an average of 8.1. Good bowling indeed! These were ably supported by Mark Hogan, Tim Pembroke and Justin Newman. The fielding of the team was usually excellent, and, after much thought, mention must be made of Jim Mac­kenzie for his work in the Covers.

Jeff Turner scored the best individual score with 78 against Robertson·Burrawang. Mark Wallace was usually a strong middle order batsman, followed by John Tomashek and Murray Broadhead.

Mention must be made of the wicket keeping of Phil McMahon - perhaps the 'most improved cricket­er in the side. Congratulations, Phil!

The climax of the season came with the trip to Bathurst.

Against All Saints' College the team produced its best form to win by four wickets, but a very t ired XI took the field the following day against

Cricket

a combined Western Associated Schools XI and was beaten by six wickets. This could have been a yery interesting match, had all catches been held.

All in all a very happy season kept morale at its highest, and we can only hope that these boys play cricket after they leave school, as they will certain· Iy make many friends and continue to enjoy the game.

UNDER 14 CRICKET - CHEV III

This team was almost an Under 12 side - a team of promising crickete rs w ho profited from a season of defeats. to now form a so lid new team for the 1916n1 season.

It is not easy to lose nearly all matches, and slill front·up to twice weeklv training, then the match, w ith qualities of excellent sportsmanship IWld keen interest. To their credit, Chev III did this.

The team: P Brodie, M Chadwick. A Hamer, P lewis. o Martinek. P Maher, M MoloneV, M McRae ICaptain). P Naughton. P Ravmond, J Peres, 0 McKinnon, M Farrell, C Hackett . These plaved in 1915 ooly - J Newman, B McKav. M Coffey. Newcomers this year were 0 Pembroke and A Brodrick ,

Ttwlnks are due to Michael McRae for his diligent organ­i5ing and selecting of each week's team, and sound captair>ey.

The team tlad a very successful season. We began wittl a dismal loss lI(Iainll Moss Vale. but eJlded the season .. Minor Premier .. only to be beilten in the Grand Final by the Moss Vale te8m lI(Iain.

During the sea$On we had a record of l iK wins from seven games. Our bell I)OIrlur "'~"~" wGO _inOl Oowrol, where we had 4/ 130 in only 85 min\lull, to 8oM"ar, 70 in the $8me time.

The grea teli l asset to our team was our most junior member, Bruce Adlam. His mal\lr. bat· ting and tight bowling won uS many games. Bruce took out the balling aver., with 41 .

Girls' Sport 1976

Throughout the vear the girls have participated in a variety of sports-netball, basketball, hockey. volleyball, softball, athletics. tennis, and swimming. Although our numbers have been comparatively small for the formation of so many teams, th' effort shown by the girls has been extremely commendable. Brother Floyd has made a spiri ted effort to organise the girls' sports this year and this enthusiasm has been much appreciated.

For the first time the girls played sport at Colleges and High Schools in the Sydney and Canberra areas as well as in the local district. Many Saturdays were spent travelling with the boys to new schools to play matches. Brother Floyd co-ordinated these weekends very well, so as to allow both the girl5' teillT1$ and football teams to complete their games on the one day.

Our girls' Cricket Team played its Ian two matches at the beginning of First Term. Our batting and field· ing were rather disastrous to $By the least, but our bowling did improve. Sharon Foran must be con· gratulated on her notable performance in this area.

The weather ruined all chances of participating in any swimming carnivals, but the girls' training ses· sions were enjoyed by all. I am sure they would have excelled in all events.

The Monivae trip was certainly one of the high· lights of the year-the girls' softball team was our "pride and joy" as they took many home runs on the way to a win. The tennis players were overwhelmed by the hard·hitting Monivae students but were pleased to have experienced some tough competition. The basketball and netball teams both lost but went down fightillg.

Perhaps the best game played by the Basketball team 'ollIS against Oak hill which they won 45·1 1. As Mr Broadhead stated so well: " ... the team fired for the first time". Their efforts have been sustained and we hope that this team (mainly fjfth formers) will continue to improve next year.

The consistent application of the girls in the Net­ball team (mainly 6th formers) has been impressive. Despite the importance of study in their final year they have played every match organised for them, right up to Stuvac with many victories to their name.

Tha Softball and Hockey teams always seemed to. be "5tealing" each ohers players . .. well, not really, it just happened that a few girls were playing in both teams and this caused problems when afternoon pr&eeioes coincided. At this point I would like to thank ell those girls (and there were I number of them) who willingly took their positions in many different teams throughout the year - so often we were short of players and the "old feithfuls" could always be depended upon.

Tricia McDonell is the name that springs to mind whenever the volleyball team is mentioned-her keen spirit developed amongst the whole team and I am sure this accounts for their many successes. How many times did we see them chanting the Chevalier waf'ay?

Our hockey team was not as successful as we would have liked . Having been beaten in most games it was nice to see a team of OPtimistic players finally win a match against Dominican Convent. Congratula· tions to Mary·Ann Lewis for her fine goal·shooting performances.

Two girls whose sporting achievements have earned them recognition on the prizewinning list are Leanne Pobjoy and Sue McKern-Kimberley McClean has also made a fine effort . Their act ive participation this year is a credit to them and I am sure that their efforts have produced a st rong basis for the continua· tion of a variety of sports.

Finally there are those people whose support and training efforts have helped (1)'10 meet our challenges with good sportsmanship, skill and enjoyment. Many thanks to Sister Lucy, Mrs Szonyi, Mr Broadhead, Father White, Mr Chambers, Mr McGrath, Mr Shear­gold and Brother Floyd.

The U/14A team. whiCh III one stage 01 the season was providing six of the locpl U{14 representati"" squad. played II mixture 01 wry attrac t ive end sometimes inconsistent loot· ~U. However, a tremendous effort in the last half of Ihe sell· son saw them win 9 01 their last ten matches to secure a place in the /inal lo ur, and lhe minor semi·finals. They weren't to rellch the finals though liS BOWfIlI Brickworks played better percentage IOOt~rI to run out winners by 2·0.

In the U!14 B's. what was lacked in skills wllS made up for by 100% effort and enthusiasm. Being lhe only "B" team In the competit ion it WIIS difficull 10 expect the tellm to pedorm to the same Slandllrd as visi ling learns. However, t he Illam leerrll a veal daal througho ... t Ihe season and Ih is shOW«! by prOviding $Onl8 very close decisions to some of Ihe beller teams in their COmpelilion. MOil o f this will be played in t he U{14's nexi year so we look lorward to a m ... ch more successful season in 1977.

The U/16 team "SO Showed that they have lhe abilily to play 9OO'd soccer. As tha se.son progre$Sed the standard of play impo'oll!Ki considerlbly and Ihis was evident in the team resuUs. The deleno:e had tightened up, the midfield were win· ning 50% of the ball and the fo ..... ards had al last found their shooting boots. This .'Iowed the team to achieve some eredit·

able resulu. o ften ~ing down to more talented teams by only Iha odd goal.

In 1977, we are looking forward to another wry success· ful season. Application has bHn made 10 the Australian Schoolboys Soccer FederatiOn 10 entar an Open Grade side in Ihe Tasman C ... p, the s\lllewide knockout which al present cat~rs for approximalely 250 part icipating school,.

We lire also inWllig.!lt'ng funning a live·in coaching course at the school somet ime in 1977, inviting some of the lOp names in Au'tral~n SOccer to Issill and impart their know· ledge to the junior playars in the d iWict.

Chevalier Golf Club This year a six-hole golf course wM a welcome

addit ion to our many sporting facilities. Greens of Bent and oouche grasses were planted, and proper holes and flags obtained from the Bowral Country Club, who also supplied a greens Scott Bonnar mow­er at a very reasonable fee.

After much top dress ing and tender loving care, the greens survived the rigours of a Bowral wimer, and are now budding forth in verdant splendour, with the help of welcome rains and warmer sun· shine.

Over all distance of the course is 1,330 yards or 1.220 metres, and 18 holes 3,990 yards or 3,660 metres. Par fo r t he course is 66.

A hole-in-one has been recorded on the fifth hole - 124 yards, par 3: and a round of 67 has been recorded. So the challenge is on for young and old.

A committee will very soon be formed, and com· petition should soon be on the way for age groups, and handicap and championship games for both boys and girls. We hope also to have inter·school competi· tions. Scofe cards have been designed and printed at the College.

An official opening day will very soon be held -so, all you budding golfers, get some practice in l

Swimming

Brother Floyd, Mr. Bright and Mr. Sheargold want to thank this year's swimming team fo r the enjoy­ment we got from going to training and to the carni· vals with a group who enjoyed themselves. trained well and performed to their limits. The lead for this type of co-operation was given by the captain, Martin Sullivan, and was followed by all the team members. Statistically, we were a little bet.,ter than teams of the past, and the team brought credit to the School at all venues. We went to carnivals at St. Pat.'s, Goulburn, St. Greg.'s, Campbelltown, and the T. G.S. at North Sydney. Unfortunately. T. I.G.S. carnival at Dapto was cancelled because of the weather, and our gir ls d idn't have the opportunity to compete. We're sure t hey would have performed well .

Thank you all again, and we look forward to the day when our swimmers have the opportunity to f ulfill t he potential which we know they have. Given the opportunity to train in a better climate with ~

facility such ~s St. Greg.'s h~ve, we would be ~ force to be reckoned with .

Tennis

The overall standard is good, with promising players emerging in the Junior and Middle school ranks. Rain th is year limited the sport, but the growth in junior coaching classes under t he ever­watchful eye of Mr Viv McGrath, is encouraging for the future.

THE CHEVALIER CUP

Seven schools competed- St Patrick's, Strathfield, who retained the Cup defeating 5t Leo's College in the final; St Gregory's, campbelltown who narrowly defeated Chevalier; St Patrick's, Goulburn; Hurlstone AHS, and Oakhili College.

Our players P. Emery and R. Yudhianto both led 5-0 and 5·1 respectively in thei r singles against 5t Gregory's, and might have won th is match on another day! 5t Leo's have two NSW·ranked players in the Cullotti brothers, both being unavailable.

TCS COMPETITION

Both matches were marred by rain showers, but enough tennis was played for St leo's to win both the Junior and Senior events. Chevalier players were generally outclassed by the experienced "Sydney" players. The Junior team of R. Spry. B. Liu. A. l eroy and P. Maher put up a good fight in t heir defeats.

THE GERMAINE CUP

This ever·popular thrice·yearly contest continues as a th ree·school event. In March, O.L.S. H. easily regained the Cup from Chevalier, represented by F. Ederle, P. McCabe, G. Ruediger, A. Broderick, T. Janssen, G. Bray, J . Mylan.

INTERSCHOOL TENNIS

Four good contests were on, and keen competition plus excellent sportsmanship prevailed. We won the match against St Patrick's, Gou lburn, lost to Hurl· stone AHS, and WIlre one match each against RANC "Creswell" Je rvis Bay.

This was on the 25th September and with only three days of proper training nobody was expect ing the fantastic results that were achieV'ed from the distance runnerS. The first win Chevalier had was in the 14's 800m when Ian Simpson won. The event before, however, .aw David Pembroke and August Taiw3 take second ar.d fourth places.

Next good run wes in the 17'$ 800m where Stuart McKinnon ran well ahead by 30 metres, only to break down 200m from ,I>e end. I" ,I>i . ra.ce Tom Rob9,U ~"""\lJally came second.

The next run of success came with Ian Simpson spread· eagting the IS00m field to win and break the school a"d Shield record by seven secor.ds.

Next win was the ur.der 15 IS00m by Dennis Hogan in a time of 4.32, a school record ar.d won by 50 metres.

The ur.der 16 1500m saw a good effort from Glen Camp· bell and Edward Golja who came second ar.d third in a race where the winner's time was 4. 10 1

A,S,C, (CANBERRA)

This was held at St Edmur.ds College on a very wet and sma ll ,ra<;k, making the pace 01 the run. very difficult. The distance runners didn ' t run very well; the only winner again being Ian Simpson who won his 800m ar.d 1500m quite easily. Next beSI run was by DenniS Hog;!" who ran second in t he ur.der I S's 1500m i" a time of 4 .36.

In the ur.der 13's 1500m David Pembroke put in a good effort 10 come third as did Pa u l Dalton in the senior IS00m.

FUN RUNS

This year, for the first t ime Chevalier took part in "Fun Runs". These 8'e road runS oro;lnised for charities. The fi .. , one was the Tulip T ime Twelve where considering it was our fim run we did very well wi t h Paul Dahon coming 41st out of 580.

The nex l week we went to Goulburn and to show our impro""",,,nt we took off the team event with Paul Dalton coming 2nd a r.d Dennis Hogan coming fifth. Perhaps this imprOVEment is ir.dicative of things to come.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION REPORT

1976 has been a very successful year in the Physi· cal Education. We haW! now organised a programme which caters for eW!ry student in the school. Previous· Iy, the naturally gifted student scored extremely high evaluation and the not so gifted student wasn't given the opportunity 01 gaining a maximum grade due to either his lack of ability, or to some inconceivable problem which would inhibit physical performance. The present programme covers both .the physical and theoretical aspects as well as involving the mental areas such as co·operation, attitude towards the pro· gramme, and standard of dress.

The programme is set out as folloW;-; (a) Theory Sports Assignment - 30% of total

marks. Aim: To improve the student's general know· ledge of sport whilst providing an understanding and appreciation of sport as a means of recreation and leisure time activity. Over the period of first to fourth form. each nudent will look ~t and tludy twelve different sports, i.e. one assignment/term.

SENIOR CROSS COUNTRY

fbi Book Mark - 10% of total marks. Based on the setting out, neatness, and presentation of his assign· ment.

Ic) Practical Mark - 40% of total marks. An eval­uation of the skills and techniques learnt during class periods.

(d) Attitudes evaluation - 20% of total marks. Assessed on co-operation, attitude. dress etc.

The maximum tota l being 100 marks. The grade is then taken on the total marks re-

ceived. A - 85 marks - 100 marks 8 - 75 marks - 84 marks C - 65 marks - 74 marks D - 50 marks - 64 marks; E - Below 50 marks There is a large variety of sports taught includ·

ing; Lifesaving, Basketball, Squash, Tennis, Weight Training, Athletics, and many more. From this tuition we hope that a student may develop an en· thusiasm lor a sPOrt of his choice and :'e able to pur· sue this later in life. For those students who are not enthusiastic about the specific sport in that respect· ive term, recreational games are played every second week to break up the learning areas of the course, allowing for the enjoyment of all.

SPORTS REPORT 1976

There have been many changes in the school sports scene - in both competitive and non·competi· tive sports - during the current year. There was a greater divers ification of sports. and. competition­wise, we saw an expansion in the areas of soccer, basketball, volleyball, bike·riding and rifle-shooting for the boys; and for the girls, volleyball and basket· ball . Horse·riding and squash also were available for both boys and girts.

For the first year, the girls did extremely well in the volleyball competition, and things look very promising for the future in this sport, as there is a local competit ion .

Wherever we have had traditional boys' matches against other schools, we have tried to accommodate the girls this year, organizing girls' sports to coincide - either here at Chevalier or in Sydney, Canberra or locally. The competitive sports that we had for girls, which will continue next year, were netball, softball, basketball, volleyball, tennis and athletics. Of par· ticular note for the first time this year we introduced an open girls' athletics event to coincide w ith t he boys' Chevalier Shield. Although ~ had only an open division this year, it will be expanded into age groups for girls next year. We had eight schools pilrticipating, and I was extremely pleased to see the two tocal high schools taking part in this event.

Non·Competitive Sport; The Physical Education Department organizes physical tra ining of all our students, but, for the boarders, part icularty, at teast two compulsory afternoons of sport after school are held in which the students take part in a sport of their choice. The emphasis underlying the compul·

sory sport is on physical activity - not on competi· tiveness.

Because of the comple>lity, variety and number of sporting teams we have, a large number of staff is required. The successes that we have had this year could not have been achieved without the co·opera· tion of both lay and religious naff, particularly duro ing the weekends when we were away. Special thanks go to Sisters LucY and Joseph and Mrs. Sheargold for the time and effort they have contributed to the girls' sporting activities.

I can foresee $Orne difficulty ne>lt year with regard to coaches, particularly for the girls' sports, so I shall be looking forward to having some of our local par· ents assisting in this most importanl development of our studenlS. Although we have had a small involve· ment of parents this year, I would hope that ne>lt year a larger number will volunteer their services, for both boys' and more particularly girls' sports.

As most of our compet i tive sport involves travel, I am well aware of the difficulties, e>lpense·wise, that students have with bus travel. I would like to assure parents that, through the co·operat ion of our local bus company. we have received most generous con·

sideration, so that we have 'been able to charge our students a minimum amount. __

Hou.se Sport. which involves all students of the school, improved greatly this year, and. hopefully, will continue to improve in the coming year. I was a l i ttle disappointed that a number of day students withdrew on these occasions. and , would hope that ne>lt year this is at a minimum. House sport is norm, ally held as part of the school day, and it was dis· appointing that a number of the day students did not take part.

Our facilities are available after school to any day nudents who care to use them, and I would encour' age any of them who wi$h to do so to compete for their School in competitive sports.

In conclusion, I should like to congratulate our two sportsmen of the year, Sue McKern and Martin S~onyi, the winners of the Best and Fairest awards in the various sports, and the Age Champions in the vari· ous sports, and to the students in general for their co· operation, the parents who assisted us with o rgani~a·

tion my sincere thanks. Brother Allan Floy-d. SPORTSMASTER.

CHEVALIER PARE NTS' AND FRIENDS' ASSDCIATIDN

The Parents' and Friends' Association of Chevalier has once again had a successful year in its support for the College. Office bearers elected for 1976 at the Annual General Meeting held in February were -

President: Mr. Keitn Williams Secretary- Mrs. Helen Dunbar Treasurer : Mrs. Nora Waugh

Our seoond annual Debuta nte Ball was held in May at the Bowral Country Club, when twenty - eignt lovely debutantes and their partners were presented to Mr. Kevin Cairns, Member for Lilley in Queensland_ Congratulations to the Ban Committee on the success of this magnigicent occasion.

Checking in with Mr. A. Dovle on Ihe 'WIt/k8lhon. "

Again, a wonderful effort was made by the pro­moter of the 400 Club, and Mrs. Shapiera held a successful make-up demonstration in her home at Wahroonga, and organized a Mediaeval Banquet at Bunratty Castle. The annual gymkhana, held in August, was an outstanding success, and full credit goes to the organizers and their hard-working team.

The Annual Fete and Band Festival were once again combined into a two-day eyent, and I should l ike to take this opportunity of thanking the hard·working committee, who arranged the week-end. My thanks go also to all those who haye given so generously of their time and effort during the year - parents and staff al ike. I am deeply appreciative of their support, which has enabled us to repay the loan obtained for bui lding the student recreation centre.
