In conclusion, I would also like to like to thank all Board members who have given so much of theirtime throughout the year.

We propose to devote additional resources in 2002 to the pursuit of further strategic alliances which canbenefit Hutchins either by increasing revenue, reducing costs or providing access to resources which theSchool could not otherwIse access.

Challenges in respect of the strategic direction for Hutchins remain a focus for the Board. We have toremain mindful of emerging trends such as globalization, the blurring of the distinctions betweenSecondary and post Secondary education, and the Internet and its potential in education.

Strategic alliances have been established during the year, which have already been successful inboosting enrolments, namely an alliance with other Tasmanian independent schools to access theChinese market.

I am very pleased to be able to report that 2001 has beenanother very successful year for Hutchins. In the face ofdemographic trends to the contrary, school numbers haveincreased during the year to peak at approximately 1,000.The new SES Funding system, which is being phased inover a 4-year period, will be beneficial to Hutchins andwith the recent election result we should have some stabilityof funding parameters into the future.

As a Board we are continually being challenged by thePrincipal with his vision for improved school facilities. Therecently approved capital expenditure budget for 2002includes the following projects: Stage 2 of the NettlefoldLibrary redevelopment, fitting out two additionalclassrooms in the Early Learning Centre to cater forincreasing numbers, further dormitory renovations at theBoarding House and refurbishing senior art facilities. Inaddition we are exploring the feasibility of a new MusicSchool/Multimedia complex and rearranging the JuniorSchool and the Centre for Excellence.

Chairman"s Report

It remains a fact, however, that no matter how good our physical resources are, the School would not bewhat it is without our number one resource, all the staff. On behalf of the Board I wish to thank themfor their efforts in 2001. Their commitment to the boys and their education is much appreciated by all.

The Board continues with its commitment to providing a rounded and beneficial education to all boysno matter what their abilities are or what their cultural, social or ethnic backgrounds may be. Weconsider that the essential elements of a Hutchins education should have a wide focus addressingacademic, sporting, social, musical, dramatic and vocational pursuits. It is pleasing to note that ourmonitoring of academic results over the last four years for Year 12 indicates an improvement each yearin the overall results.

VIRTUS 2001 2 3 VIRTUS 2001

2001 has been a year notwithout drama. On theinternational scene, thedestruction of the WorldTrade Centre resulted inchanges regarding how welook and think about ourplace in the world. It was avery significant event in thelife of the Western World.At the time of writing, thetravel industry and stockmarket are still to recover totheir pre-September 11days. The optimism inAustralia generated by theSydney Olympic Games of2000 has left us, to bereplaced by uncertainty. Wesit and wait to see what willhappen next on theinternational scene.

Hutchins Cheer Squad

It is a curious phenomenonthat despite the worldshrinking to the point whereany comer of the globe isquickly accessible, internetaccess has meant thatpeople are contactableanywhere by satellite phoneand knowledge is availableon the internet anywhere,we seem to have made noprogress as a race III ourability to get on with eachother. Conflict on a tribal,religious and ethnic scaleseems to have replacedwars between nations.

Nationally, the return of theCoalition Governmentmeant that funding for thenext term of government issecure. Much had beenmade of the new fundingarrangements for privateschools and particularly forthe old Category OneSchools. Hutchins benefitedunder the new arrangement:we believe this is evidencethat the School, relative toother independent schools,was not receiving grants toa level that reflected itsneed.

Despite demographic trendsthat show the pool ofschool-aged children isshrinking, Hutchinsnumbers increased from

965 at the start of the yearto 1003. This increase instudents has allowed us toundertake a far moreextensive capitalimprovement program overthe Christmas holidays thanoriginally planned. TheNettlefold Libraryextensions will becompleted, two newclassrooms fitted out in theEarly Learning Centre tocater for increased classes,and refurbishment of thesenior Art area are themajor projects. I lookforward to the planningprocess which will occur in2002 for the JuniorSchool/Music/Centre forExcellence Complex.

Elizabeth McQuilkin

As a humble person, no doubt LizMcQuilkin would prefer we invoked thedeclaration of the great writer, GeorgeEliot, that the happiest women, like thehappiest nations, have no history. However,when it comes to Liz McQuilkin andHutchins there is plenty of history and allof it happy and well worth remembering.Sadly, however, it comes to an end thisyear.

Liz has taught a range of students fi'omYear 4 to first year university across theglobe including New Guinea (as anAustralian Volunteer Abroad), England,Victoria and, of course, Tasmania.

Liz left the workforce for thirteen years inorder to raise her tlu'ee children with herhusband, Rob, and during that time didsome work in theatre. She returned to teachEnglish at Collegiate in 1983. She wasappointed Head of English from 1986 to1988 and also took on the position ofCoordinator of Debating and PublicSpeaking. She left Collegiate at the end of1988 to spend more time with her familyand retum to University for post-graduatestudy.

During this time Liz was invited to teachpart-time at Hutchins. By the end of theyear she was invited by John Bednall to beActing Head of English, a position she heldfor tlu-ee years while Alan Pride set up thePhilosophy and Ethics program. Liz wasagain appointed Head of English for a yearand a half after Dr Pride moved to Sydneyand before Bradley Wells was appointed.

Liz's time at Hutchins will be rememberedfor many things. Her enormouscontributions to debating, public speakingand all things literary were reflected in hercoordination of the Hutchins Literary andDebating Society and founding of thePoetry and Prose in PerformanceCompetitions. Undoubtedly though, hergreatest contribution has been in theclassroom. Her personal love of leaming,academic rigour, meticulousprofessionalism and individual care foreach student has endeared her to Hutchinsboys and made her a vital member of theHutchins community.

So as we say farewell we can do littlebetter than quote from The Bard himself,when Henry V to his loyal troops declared:On, on you noblest English (teachers).

So, Liz, farewell and thanks for all that youhave done for the many boys and staff whohave passed tlu'ough Hutchins.

Pat McNeill

Pat McNeill has been at Hutchins for a longtime. Her many memories of those 28 and ahalf years give a snapshot of life atHutchins. She was recruited by JohnAnderson in 1973, in his first year as JuniorSchool Headmaster, when the Kindergartenneeded an assistant with growingenrolments.

An interest in library studies had been puton hold with the conU11encement of part­time work, but with the TAPE LibraryTechnician's course becoming available,she was able to fit this in with her workinghours at Hutchins and some time was spentin one or other of the libraries from thenon, as well as in the Prep School classes.She completed the Certificate in 1981. In1984 she was appointed full time with extratime spent in the Senior Library, where shelearned a lot from Rossi Roberts­Thompson, who had had many years'experience as a teacher librarian.

In 1988, Pat finally began work full-time inthe A A Stephens Library, as it becameknown. Given a choice she decided on thislibrary (rather than the Nettlefold) becauseof her wish to continue her affmity with theboys in that area, given her ongoing hockeycoaching with the upper primary boys overmany years. This involved matches onSaturday momings as well as training insport periods at school from Easter until theend of second tenn.

Tln'oughout her years at Hutchins Pat hasalways had a passion for preparingmaterials for displays and mounting themwith great care. In the Stephens Library,displays have been a highlight of her work,although in recent years she has often hadto resort to using previously used materialsbecause of time constraints. However shesays her one-to-one involvement with theboys gives her most satisfaction, and insome cases being a confidante over longperiods for boys with real won'ies or justthings to talk over.

Pat's contribution to the School and to thelibraries in particular is enormous. She hasbeen an anchor for the teacher librarians,and ably organised teams of mothers whocome in to help reinforce, mend and coverbooks at school or at home. Pat has beeninvolved in staff meetings and socialgatherings through the years as well astaking part in the StaffAssociation, being astrong advocate for the rights of the non­teaching staff.

We wish Pat a fi"uitful and happy retirementwith BaITY, their girls and grandchildren.

Derek was for a time Junior SchoolSportsmaster and was also a Senior Teacherand Assistant to the Head of Junior School.At the time of his retirement Derek was theHead of Junior School and even though hewas reluctant to take on this position hefilled it with dignity. He had the ability tobring out the best in others through hisquiet (but extremely well-organised) styleof leadership. He wouldn't ask anyone todo something he wouldn't do himself.

It was early in Term 3 2000 that hesuffered heali problems requiring majorsmgely. Following a period ofrecuperation he decided to retire fromteaching and moved to the Gold Coast tolive, to enjoy the sun, the surf and thelifestyle. While health concems still existhe continues to play bowls and plans tospend more time painting, being anaccomplished water-colour painter. One ofhis works hangs in the entrance to theJunior School. He is even dabbling in theshare market and is prepared to try hishand at anything that comes along.

While his influence around the school ismissed, all wish him well in his futureendeavours.

Naveed and I got to know each other at

camp. We were interested in the same sort

of movies and music. Naveed was friendly

and never got angry. We became friends

and he started to play handball with us at

lunch. We also sat next to each other in

class. We both loved sport and that's why

we were mates

Nathan

Naveed was a very good miniature painter

and he liked soccer

Ashley

Naveed was a good friend. He often lent

me a pen. He was always very happy

Brad

Fun, tried hard at piano, and loved soccer

Aaron

I remember that Naveed was always

helpful and caring. He was always

thinking about his favourite sport - soccer.

We always played handball and he was

always the best. Naveed always had his

Pokemon cards in his pocket so he could

trade

Luke

When Naveed went on holiday to America

the class didn't feel quite right, it was still

a great class but it was missing something.

That something was Naveed. When he got

back it was all normal again. He was a

kind and thoughtfitl person

Tyson

Naveed was one of those guys that did not

care what other people thought about him.

He was fi'iends with everybody. 1 can't say

1 was a real closeFiend but 1 admired him

for who he was. 1 mean, there 1 was

stuffing up my life and he just died

Alistair

Naveed MirkazemiTragically killed in a car accident

14 December 2000

Remembered Always

On first impressions, Naveed Mirkazemi

seemed a shy, quiet-achiever type. Without

doubt he was a quiet achiever but after a

few weeks that early shyness began to ebb

away and we saw a young man with loads

of character. It is true that he had no

enemies. His natural ability to make

friends easily and provide help where

needed endeared him to many. He will be

sorely missed

Matthew Sayers(Class Tutor)

At lunch Naveed, myself and some friends

used to play tennis. He was very good.

He was also a good friend. I will

remember that he always talked about

soccer

Stephen

Naveed was a good friend. When he

walked in, the whole room seemed to light

up. He was never without a smile. He was

kind and compassionate, never nasty,

always helping. We all miss him a lot

Chris

Naveed used to be generous and help me

with my work

Scott

Naveed loved soccer. He would always go

on about his favourite skivvies. You'd

come to school on Monday morning with

drooping eyes and he would be there wide­

eyed and the first thing he would say was

"Did you watch the soccer last night at

2:00am"

James C

If I could describe Naveed in one word

then it would be - 'happy'. No-one could

not like him

Erik

1 remember that he was always trying to do

lots ofwork and that he would often lend

people pens

EXAMINATIONS AND ITS AUTHOR DID NOT

INTEND IT FOR PUBLICATION - DECEMBER

1929.

Boys have many advantages over girls, thechiefone being the thought that in afteryears they will be men, while girls will onlybe women.

Most boys despise girls because they areweak and gentle and not able to partake intheir games because they are too rough;they may be hurt. Boys can always pleasethemselves what they do and where they go,because they can take care of themselves.Girls have to be protected because of theirfragility and lack ofjudgment ofwhat isright or wrong.

A boy is able to take part in more sportsthan a girl, the reason being that men aremore adaptedfor most sports than women,and therefore boys follow in their fathers'

Parents' AssociationThe Hutchins Parents' Association hasagain made significant contributions to theSchool, which will benefit all boys at somestage of their school life.

At a time of financial pressures andconstraints, our fundraising is sometimes achallenge. Due to decreasing numbers, theEastern Shore Parent Group has closed butparents, grandparents and friends havecontinued to give so generously, be it time,energy or money. We thank everyone fortheir support.

The Central Parents' Group with JennyInglis at the helm has continued its suppoliwith events such as the lamington drive,which raised $430. The Fathers andMothers day stalls together raised $1,550,and the cross country barbeque contt·ibuted$650 to the Association.

Jenny Inglis has been a loyal supporter anda tireless worker for the Parents'Association. Her abundant energy has beenunwavering and she will be missed whenshe leaves the Association at the end of thisyear. Jenny has given an unselfish fifteenyears to The Hutchins School and duringthat time has been co-ordinator for manyfairs.

footsteps, while girls follow in theirmothers '. In many cases girls have shownthat they are not far inferior to boys, chieflyin swimming, where they are, perhaps moreadapted than boys, through being ofalighter build and not being affected by thecold, owing to slight differences inconstruction.

At school, girls profess to have fun, but it isvery pussy compared with that ofa boys'school. The girls shriek and cifterwardstitter over their alleged jokes, which aregenerally rather feeble, while boys amusethemselves by subtle jokes. The greatestdrawback girls have, in boys' sight, is thatwhenever they are in mixed company, theyneed chaperones. This is a great set back,and it handicaps boys very much socially.

However, the world would be a velY dullplace without girls, if it was in being at all,and we must thank our Maker for allowingus to be boys, but we must also thank Himfor His thoughtfulness in making girls also.

throughout the year for the Early LearningCentre, the Junior School, the MiddleSchool and the Senior School - haveproven to be a wonderful time forGrandparents to share their grandchild'slife at Hutchins. On these happy days, the

The mothers' dinner, held at NewlandsHouse, was a most enjoyable evening withfine food and wine.

64 years later, girls are still a major topicof conversation, however attitudes andthought processes have evolved. In the1993 Virtus Editorial "Single SexSchools" the editor, Geoff Whelan,wrote:

"I believe that the adults that emergeFomHutchins are not themselves beingdiscriminated against through going to asingle-sex school, but are insteadadvantaged as they have a greater level ofrespect for women ".

I would like to thank all the Year 9s thathelped in the Archives this year. There aretoo many to mention. I would like to thankChris Hall, Pam Daly and Ann Reimer fortheir help and support throughout the lasttwo years.

feel passionately for their assigned portfolio.

This year's prefects have embodied all that Hutchins is andrepresents. They have made many new inroads that are sure to becontinued in years to come. The determination and drive oftbisyear's prefects has been the backbone behind the Year 12 students,as leadership at Hutchins is increasingly becoming student based.As we continue to move into the 21st Century students are beinggiven more responsibility and input into the running of the School.There are many student-based committees that take an effective andactive role in the School such as the Student Tribunal, where it isthe students who decide on disciplinary matters concerning otherboys.

Tim GreenSenior Prefect

It is important to remember that leadership is not only theresponsibility of prefects - a school is only as strong as all its seniorboys. 2001 was such a success because all boys participated andhelped, and this initiative was taken, not only by the prefects, butalso by the Year 12 group as a whole.

As the curtain closes on year 200 I we are able to look back on afine year, both in the development of the Year 12 leavers and thegrowth of school spirit amongst all boys. Hutchins' spirit is onething that makes the School unique and it is something the Year l2shave always been very proud of. As a result, the prefect leadersmade it a goal to instill this proud sense of tradition and spirit intoall of the Hutchins boys. Individuals such as Patrick Durkin, theSchool Whip, led the way by alTanging the transportation ofstudents to school events to cheer and support their fellow Hutchinsbrothers. It is fine organization from senior boys like Patrick thathelped to create the great sense of camaraderie felt by all boys thisyear, throughout the School.

Diversity amongst the prefects in their talents, culture and abilitiesstrengthened the prefect body as it enabled each area of school lifeto be represented uniquely and completely by senior students who

Prefects are an integral pari of school life at Hutchins. They areelected by their peers and by the staff. Their primary role, above allothers, is to uphold the culture and tradition of Hutchins, whilesetting a good example for younger boys and the outside public.This year there were fifteen prefects inducted at the commencementof Term One, with another prefect being inducted duringAnniversary Week. Each prefect was assigned a specific portfolioto carry out during the next year.

The broad range of international activities has been matched with local and interstatecampaigns. The Hutchins Art Prize, now in its fifth year, attracted a record number ofentries and the Finalists' Exhibition in the Long Gallely at Salamanca Place was inspectedby over 1700 guests. A combined concert with Collegiate at the Federation Hall was verysuccessful in showcasing the talents of om many gifted musicians and the Jazz in the Quadevening continues to grow in popularity and style. We are indebted to Mr Andrew Legg forhis links with the local music world, providing additional performers who work with ourboys. Hutchins was present at Agfest and at the Campbell Town show, and pressadvertising locally and interstate has greatly assisted the school in its marketing campaign.

from Beijing and other areas of China. The school has also worked to develop new andexisting markets in Thailand, Germany, Brazil, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singaporeand Korea. We are now starting to see the benefits of such marketing - not only are theschool's numbers increasing, but the broad range of international students attendingHutchins is of great benefit socially and educationally.

Grandparents' Days, the School Fair, special Archival displays, the Hutchins Golf Day,Open Day, the Webber Lecture, a Headmaster's Seminar with Professor Miraca Gross,special concerts featuring the Cincinnati Strings and the Australian String Quartet, threeeditions of the school's newsletter Magenta and Black and a host of other events make theschool year a busy and interesting one - and one only possible through the hard work of theDevelopment Office staff of Pam Daly, Ann Reimer, Andrew Short, Don Camm and LouiseYoung.

Our Old Boys have continued to be active. Of special interest was the biennial meeting ofthe 80 Club - when a score of our oldest Old Boys attended a Eucharist in the Chapel of StThomas and toured the Early Learning Centre before joining other Old Boys for lunch inBurbury House. The Old Boys' Reunion Dinner was a great evening with almost 200 OldBoys and their partners celebrating their joint histOlY.

The Annual Appeal raised over $40,000and the money raised will assist in therefurbishment of the Terence ButlerAuditorium by providing additional stagelighting equipment, stage draperies, soundsystems and other facilities. Approximatelysixty patrons attended a special afternoontea to thank donors to the Appeal. Theafternoon tea was held after the verypopular ELC Nativity Play and Concert inthe Auditorium.

The Hutchins Foundation had a good fund­raising year with profitable eventsincluding the Annual Appeal, a Day at theRaces, a cocktail party, sale of the popularHutchins calendar and other souvenirgoods.

Marketing has continued to be a majorfocus of the Development Office and as theschool year ended with greater numbers ofstudents than we had budgeted for, theDevelopment Office and Foundation fund­raising roles tend to be ilTetrievably mixed.Hutchins continues to develop close linkswith the State Government's Department ofState Development, and the newconsortium ofTISOSS of which Hutchinsis a founding member has been successfulin attracting several boys to the school

exhibition was art production. Students

made some 3D art works that expressedtheir feelings about their study life in

The most significant purpose of the excur­

and society. Early this year the students

went to Bonorong Park, where they learnt

what animals are endemic in Tasmania and

which species are becoming extinct. They

were also able to hand-feed kangaroos,

wallabies and emus and see wombats and

Tasmanian Devils.

Another highlight of their activities was the

visit to the art gallery at Salamanca Place.

The exhibited displays were the students'

were separated into three categories: paint­

Add to these the many stimulating class programs, camps, excursions, the mainland trip,Poetry and Prose nights, the excellent production of "Aladdin" and it becomes clear thatthe boys have had a most productive year.

Musically, the boys have returned from "There are thirteen blocks in my tower"Eisteddfods with a veritable swag of prizes andawards, including a number of first places for individual and choir events.

'Reaching Out' was the focus this year in theELC and Junior School. The theme was two­pronged. The first focus was for every child to'Reach Out' and achieve his personal best inall areas - academic, social, emotional andphysical. The second focus tied in with the'International Year of the Volunteer' and boyswere encouraged to reach out and assist thosein need both locally and globally.

However, whilst this is very important, success or 'reaching out' needs to be defined inbroader terms. Many of the children have reached out and attained their own personalgoals. It might be that a child has overcome learning difficulties, or is developing hisunique talents, or simply that he has learned more about compassion and tolerance, orpatience.

Jake GalpinNicholas Forbes-Smith

He has 55 000 000 eyes. He has 12 heads and he is 1 000 OOOcm tall.He is 500m fat. He wears pyjamas. He has two teeth and he has axesfor his hands.

To demolish the monster we need: a net and wood. Put the net overhim and make him eat the wood. The wood poisons him.

He chops down power poles on people. He kicks down buildings. Heeats cars, and eats schools. He eats bricks so he eats homes. He eatschocolate so when he sees people eating chocolate, he eats them aswell.

How to demolish a monster

What does he do?His 500cm arms catch planes. He doesn't just eat the planes, he eatsthe people inside! He likes to eat metal as well, so he sometimes eatscars, buses and other metal mechanical stuff.

Jake Galpin

What we need: a plane crossed with a half bus - half car. On top of theobject, lays a big steel bar. The bar is 4m high and 15cm in length.

Set up the trap. Put the object in front of him. Then while he is eatingit, throw a rock at him. When he is finally passed out, take him to thepolice. They will eventually put him in jail.

How to demolish a monster

The monster has 3 eyes, 3 heads (I eye on each head). He is musclyand a 2 time weight lifting champion. He is 6 foot 9, his name isSwifty and his two friends are very, very, VERY! Tall!!!! His alms are500cm long.

Matthew AJlanby

How to demolish a monster

All of the eyes look for nasty people and then it eats the person up.

My monster is 1m tall, it has small muscles, it has 5 heads, it's blackand orange and yellow. He has 10 eyes that never go to sleep.

Owen Swain

You need a net with a coin in it and a fake nasty person with 10 spearsin it. You throw the coin when the monster comes close and when hepicks up the coin, the net comes out and the monster gets caught. Iteats the fake nasty person and the spear kills it.

First he follows the kids to school, then he hides in the bushesuntil it is lunchtime and he pounces on the kids and takes themhome. He eats the kids.

To demolish the monster we need: a fake house, a remotecontrol kid, a net.

The monster has 2 heads and 4 eyes. He dribbles and he hashuge muscles. He has 4 alms, he is 10cm tall, 10cm wide, has 8claws and an 8 second memOly.

There was a young man from Hong Kong,Who had a Chinese gong,He loved eating noodles,Owned 81 poodles,And later moved offto Geelong.Angus Ware

There was a young man called Charlie,Who sailed away to Bali.He used a knife,To take someone's life,Then he rode back home on his Harley.Dougal Middleton

LIMERICKSThere was a Bareonix from Spain,Who grew enonnously tame,Late in the night,He got in a flight,And got overwhelmingly lame.Laurence Kenworthy-Neale

There was a young man called Don,Who always went to Hong Kong,Got stuck there one dayIt was so far away,So his journey was extra long.Ian Underwood

Our class did a project on Electronics.I took a while to make but we got there.Each model had different characteristics.We had some unusually weird machineslike a quiz board, Morse code machine anda robot. The most common was the car.The robots were made with shiny foil. Theeyes lit up when we pushed the two wirestogether on the battery. This was creatingan electronic circuit, the more batteries thebrighter the light. We blew up a lot of lightsby putting too many batteries in the circuit.

HOBART RIVULET

ELECTRIC MODELS

We did several walks relating to the Hobal1Rivulet. They started high up on the moun­tain and ended up on the Regatta Ground.On each walk we tested the water fortemperature turbidity and ph level.The lower down in the catchment the morepollution in the water. Mrs Collis and MrsKnight told us that the rich people used tolive high up and the poor people lived downin Wapping. The poor people got all of therich people's rubbish and sewerage that

made the water polluted and now it is stillvery dit1y. On the last excursion we wentdown and saw the Domain Tunnel. It isnext door to the sewerage works. Weplayed soccer on the grass up on theRegatta Ground. David claims that it wasgreat fun and we believe him! We are nowmaking a banner for the Taste of Tasmania.We made our own class banner that we putup in our classroom. It's great!

POETRY

We did Travel Brochures on othercountries. I did the USA. We had to writeabout the Culture, Geography and Historywe had to encourage the reader to go to thecountry. Just about everyone did a differentcountry. After we finished om brochmeswe had a feast where you bring food fromany country. It was very interesting leam­ing about other countries. We got markedon the pictures, information and the quality.

Sam Hookwayand David Mulcahy

FABRICSIn second term we were looking at fabrics .We tested them to see if they werewaterproof. Afterwards we tested them tosee if they were flammable. The flamma­ble fabrics that burned were pure wool andcotton. Velvet smouldered a lot. It wasvery smelly. We glued them in our ScienceBooks and named them. The testing of thewaterproof fabrics went well. The mostwaterproof fabrics lasted over night and theweekend.

Matthew De Hoogand Charlie Holmes

TRAVEL BROCHURES

MONEY

In third term we made a Poehy Comer.There was early alliteration, tonguetwisters, shape poems and limericks.Shape poems are poems that are in theshape of that poem. Tongue twisters aredifferent. They have the letter they choosemost popular like: "Garry gaggedgemstones for getting a gun". Early alliter­ation is three words like "Rivers, Run,Rudely". They are the types of poems inthe poehy corner.

Bodane Hatten

In Tetm 2 we learnt about money. Ourclass designed a bank note on a person.We had to figure facts about our person.We also went to Moorilla where there wasa collection of old coins. A man gave us abooklet to work on about coins. In Term 3we wrote a Coin Story. It was a competi­tion. I think there were some brilliantstories. My favourite coin is the SirDonald Bradman coin because he is famousand he is playing a wonderful shot.

unpacked and got split into threedifferent huts. Each day we wouldgo for a walk. On the second daywe went abseiling. It wasawesome! On the third day wewent swimming. Everyone wentto where the waves were big. Weplayed table tennis before tea. Wewent to the gem polisher. On thelast day some people went to thebeach in the moming before weleft. We got back on Friday.

A Fowl StoryIn the incubator are 48 duckling eggs and12 chicken eggs. We turn them everymorning and after school. When they arehatched, we put them in the nursery alltogether. There are nine in the nursery butsome are in the incubator with faces on theeggs. They need light in the nursery. Thecandle can tell us if they are going to hatchor not hatch.

We took all the chickens outside to getsome fresh air. I have enjoyed havingthem in our classroom and watching themhatch and grow.Andrew Bourke

The eggs are Miss Gottschalk's and MrTurbett's. Mr Turbett built the incubatorwith his son, Simon. Nearly all the duck­lings can swim. It was sad when one diedand I thought he had been popped in thebin, but Mrs Knight had buried him.

My Year 4 HighlightsIn Class 4 I enjoyed lots of things. Hereare some of them. I really enjoyed camp atSouthport because we did lots of fun thingslike abseiling and going to the beach.Another thing I enjoyed was following theHobar1 Rivulet. It was fun because itinvolved bushwalking and testing the waterclarity. I also enjoyed playing soccer inwinter because it tested my playing skillsand my teamwork. Another highlight ofClass 4 was keeping duck and chickeneggs in an incubator in our classroom andwatching them hatch, partly because whenthey were older some of us took somehome! We also raised tadpoles into frogsbecause we studied the changes in them. Iworked hard and achieved most of mygoals which include getting 150 merits. Ienjoyed learning about catchments, coun­tries and also lots of new spelling words.Daniel Jones

Help the ForestsOn Friday 27 July the Junior School andtheir teachers went to a fam1 in Tea Tree.The farm was owned by Brett Cashion. Toplant a tree we needed a windshield, threestakes, a mat and the plant. We workedreally hard and we planted 1000 trees. Itwas really tiring and everyone worked flatout. We were all puffed out because eventhough the ground had been turned over itwas hard to make the holes because ofrocks. I planted four because I was helpingthe workers set everything up. I thinkNational Tree Day is the best.Benjamyn Schneider

Tree Planting DayToday we plant trees.Ready with our shovels.Everyone helps.Environment needs help.

Christmas on ChilungereeI sat down on my favourite old rocking chair inthe corner of my room, or should I say, our room?I shared a bedroom with Anna, my little sister. Assoon as Aona heard her name she was poking herblond piggytailed head inside the door.

It was definitely the worst idea he had had sincewe moved to Chilungeree.

Lachlan Glass

"Go away," I said."Don't have to," whined Anna. "It's my room tooyou know."

Next thing I knew she had slipped into her side ofthe room. The day we got here I drew a line rightdown the middle of our room with white chalk.The line is no longer visible to the human eye butis effective all the same.

The next mortling when I was eating my toast mydad dropped the big news. "Kids, your mum andI have decided to have a totally bush Christmas.No fancy wrapping paper, no fancy presents, onlyhome made stuff, OK?"

The best thing about this year was drawing lots

of good pictures.

Nick Harrison

My best experience at camp was getting

completely soaked and abseiling over the edge

of a cliff.

The best thing about camp was abseiling, atthe end you could just drop.

Edward Guiler

James Creak andTom Allwright

My favow-ite thing about this year was theLaunceston trip in first term. I thought itwas great. I have never been to a houseovernight when I didn't even know thefamily.

Patrick Mulcahy

The best activity at camp was definitelyabseiling. I had never ever abseiled. Itwas intense at first, but became fun in themiddle.

Jordan Rattle

The best aspect of camp was abseilingbecause when you look over the edge youfeel scared, but if you take the first stepyou feel fantastic.

Wills Thompson

My favourite thing about camp wasabseiling even though I have a phobiaabout heights. When I looked down thecliff I was so scared. I had two attemptsbut on the third I did, and when I got downI felt like I had won a gold medal!

Daniel Ling

My best experience at camp was gettingcompletely soaked and abseiling over theedge of a cliff.

Chris Rushworth

My favourite thing this year was learningabout Antarctica.

Lachie Sorell

I think the best thing was the Launcestontrip. I went to my Nan's house and it wascool.

Mitchell Springer

My favourite thing on camp was abseilingbecause it was real excitement. We wentdown 13 metres. It was great fun. I hopeall the other Year 5 boys enjoyed it as well.

Andrew Douglas

The best part of camp was abseilingbecause I had never been abseiling before.

James Creak

My favourite activity on camp wasabseiling down a 13 metre cliff. Abseilingis my favourite sport - even the first step iscool.

The sound of water

Spraying right in my face

Smashing against rocks

Shells, rocks swept from sand to sea

Rockpools filled with

streaming water

Boats crashing against the waves

Creatures of the deep

Calm and quiet.

Tedman rings the bell

In the day the sun is shining

Bright and scorching

If you want to walk at night

You'll have to go torching

In the raging wild river

How we could survive the shiver

Unexplored parts of the world

Heaps of diamonds up-hurled

Dangerous creatures in the forest

Like the eagle who makes a nest

Don't stop the human race

I love living in this place.

Our world has lots of volcanoes

And animals

Our world is full of beauty

Covered in grass

Full of Water

Dangerous, unexplored places

Scary and untamed animals

Lurking in the wilderness

Targeting their prey

Salty, frothy, fresh and dirty water

All a part of our world.

After a quick lunch atMelbourne airport we boarded ourconnecting flight bound for Canberra.Some of the landmarks we visited were: theTelstra Tower, the National CapitalExhibition and the Australian Institute ofSport.

Sadness is swirls ofblack and grey.It tastes like cold ponidge on a fi-eezing moming

and smells ofrotting bananas.Sadness looks like lightning on a stonny day,

It sounds like the humming ofan old car.Sadness feels like a homeless, lonely boy on a busy road.

My mummy said that I need light, water,carbon dioxide and good soil to grow tomake glucose, which I use as energy. Ithink that this is what human's callphotosynthesis. I breathe in carbon dioxideand breathe out oxygen. I think thathumans and animals need oxygen tobreathe so I guess that I am doing them afavour. It really hurts when people pickapples off me, but anyway. Oh yes, you canget boy trees. I'm a boy, and you can getgirl trees too, really, honest. Nick pickedmany apples off my branches. Some hekept and some he ate. Then one day 3 seedsgerminated, I was so proud! Three little boyapple trees. They grew and they grew.

I got old; I stalted to bear less and lessapples. I started to die, but I wasn't sad. Ihad helped continue the life cycle. Finally Ishrivelled up and rotted. I had played mypart.

It was very hard on the farm, very dry withno shade; not that I needed much anyway.Nonetheless I grew lots of apples. Thesummer of '97 was really hard. It didn'train; I was dying. No apples I bore, no nicegreen leaves. Farmer Brown's farmhand,Nick, occasionally watered me. Oh yes, Iforgot to tell you, I have two sisters, Lisaand Kate; and four brothers, Mark, James,Hugh and Toby. They are all scatteredaround the farm.

Emms: "Soul Shadow"

Hi, my name is Angus. I'm a little appletree on old fanner Brown's farm. Mymummy is just outside the gate. She isreally big. I don't have a daddy. It allstarted when farmer Brown picked an appleoff one of mummy's branches. He thenhopped on his.motorbike and drove off,leaving a trail of dust behind. On the wayhe ate the apple, spitting the seeds out hereand there. I was one of them. I'm just nextto the carpOlt. Over time I germinated. Mymummy said that I was a really slowgrower.

At least that's for most of the time,

Farewell song

Farewell to the stingy old teachers,

We've just rung the crusty school bell.

Mr Maniott is our commander,

And force something into our brains,

But when you look at oW" cheery faces,

Us and all of the crew,

We must say that this pali was great.

Done sports, given music performances,

It's so hard to see who remains.

But because we are Year Sixers

For many a long year we've been slaving here,

Farewell to old Scotty, forever

Farewell to our classmates as well

We are wondering next year what we'll find.

We've been on here together,

When we were bored out of our mind.

We tried very hard to work,

They tried oh so hard to teach us,

David Houbaer andWilliam Chandler

Travelled all over the state,

Taint leaving you all behind,

Taint leaving JLUlior School that we care about,

Now all of you little tackers in lower years,

Takes warning of what we say,

If you want to live up to the Sixth Year

You'd better start working today.

They made us work non-stop for ages,

It's a blast that we made it through.

Middle School Middle School

Teachers' Secrets RevealedI remember my fIrst morning at Hutchins very well. It was thebeginning of Term 2 1979 and David Brammall took me down to

the Middle School for my fIrst lesson. What struck me was how

pleasant and friendly all the boys were in their greetings. It wasn'tlong, therefore, before I realized that Hutchins' major asset is its

students. It took me a lot longer to realize that the School's other

huge asset is its staff. This is especially true of our Middle School.

In thinking over what to write for this article, it occurred to me that

there was a need to make the students more aware of the wonderful

staff they have caring for them.

Kind....always takes care ofpeople...good at sewing

This is how three Year 7 students described their Year Head, Mrs Waters. All of that is

true, of course, but I wonder how many students have any idea of the amount of time Mrs

Waters devotes to their welfare. Let's just take the last two weekends, for example.

Saturday of the first weekend she was here all morning taking care of next year's new Year

7s at the school. She had even taken the trouble to go out and buy them some drinks and

biscuits. The following Sunday, she was at school for the orientation afternoon from

8:30am. And she is an accomplished cox!

Good.. .friendly...great surfer

That last comment gives it away. It's Mr l(jngston these boys were talking about.

Rep0l1s always require a lot of time. Mr Kingston was still here last night after I left at 10

o'clock, doing his reports and drinking hot coffee and eating chocolate biscuits. He was

on the phone to me first thing this morning, telling me about one of his Year 8s that he is

concerned about. One thing all his students do know is how approachable and kindly he

is. They only have to look at the crowd of happy boys around him anywhere anytime.

She's a good teacher andshe always watched over usOne of her tutor group is talking about MrsBratt. I am sure she would be verypleased to be called "a good teacher" - thatis very important to her. Her marvelloussense of humour is probably something herstudents don't know about but we, hercolleagues, are lucky enough to. Norwould her students be aware how fiercelyshe fights so that they get a fair deal withtheir study of art.

He's caring...thinks ofhisstudents a lot

One only has to read Mr Addison's tutorreports to know how true these statementsabout him by some students are. Do thosestudents know how sincere he is when herefers to his tutor group in discussion as"my boys"? Do they appreciate how muchhe gives to hockey or organizing hisextension afternoon model railwaysessions?

We have fun tutor periods

And these boys have them with MsBritton. Ms Britton leaves us at the end ofthe year and we will all be very sad to seeher go. No boys would be aware of theamount of work she put into organizingtheir Harry Potter outing or that shevolunteered to assist in many ways at theend of year, nor would they know howefficient she was in preparing their reportson time.

She always thinks ofher class first, before herself

Mrs Cazaly will probably become all flustered when she realizes this is a statement abouther. Not many people would know that she spent some time the other afternoon at school,getting her room and desks better organized for next year! Nor would they know that shewas ready to fight tooth and nail to ensure her tutor group had the chance of doing theabseiling they had missed!

He'sfunny...he'sjust a good bloke all round

These are student observations about Mr Sayers. One small group will know but most willnot be aware of the personal sacrifices he made to allow his very enjoyable Play on ToW" totake place. And he had all"eady gone through the demands of presenting the very successfulYear 7 Drama Evening. And this contribution to the welfare of our boys made by a manwith a young family.

He helps me a lot in class

It seems that everyone taught by Mr McCammon has this high opinion of his teachingability. They would be impressed in the same way to Jmow how much time and effort hehas put into his role ofAcademic Co-ordinator in the Middle School. I certainly know,because I have benefited so much this year from his work with such huge tasks as Family­Teacher evenings, reports, course nights and elective choices for Year 8.

He takes the time to explain and he looks after us

Mr Morrisby can be proud of these student assessments. There is a complete rowing clubwho know how much he contributes there but few know of the time, effort and thought heput into the Extension afternoons or the work he did trying to guide our scholarshipstudents. He does all of this while still managing to plan his lessons very carefully andimaginatively.

Got things done, smoothly and easily

Hopefully Mr Berndt will appreciate these comments and understand that all his studentsthink so highly of him. How much higher would their regard be if they knew the time heput in as acting Year Head, organizing the Leadership Program, for example, or if they

knew how keen he was to go on one oftheir camps with them. I wonder too if herealizes how upset they all were to learn ofhis recent illness and how delighted theywere with his recovery.

Had some good stories totell....Always made youlaugh ....She 's very friendly

And that's how students have described MrFrench, Mr Bullock and Ms SeabrookRightly so, too. What students do not knowis how emotional Mr French really wasabout leaving them or how meticulous MrBullock was in his organization of thesummer sp0l1s morning which was to beheld well after he had left. Nor can theyhave any idea how well Ms Seabrook filledthe gap caused by the departure of MrBullock, how readily she volunteered tohelp out with such fiddly tasks as workingout the winner of Cock House.

As they read these pages now and as

they return to them from time to

time in the years to come, perhaps

the boys of 2001 will have an even

better appreciation of the pastoral

staff of their Middle School.

Dragon fangs and claws that strike,

AImoured, jewelled, prepared to fight.

Warrior men are drawing nigh,

Glittering jewels that sit on high,

March through night, march through day,

Huge black steeds are on tbeir way.

Wings will beat, arrows fly,

Dragon, men or beast may die.

Pltmdering the towns stealing many a jewel,

Then guarding its huge golden hoard.

Engulfing all tbat is in its path,

With its scorching fiery breath,

Unleashing its mighty rage,

Leaving in its wake ... death.

Dragon alights, the final flight,

A flaming arrow lights the night,

Pierces armour, skin and blood,

Hits the heat1, a small dull thud,

Falls to ground, quiver and shake,

Never another sound to make.

Dragon dead, jewels recovered,

Jewels that light the sky above us.

Of evil right down to the core,

The clash of its tail, the crash of its wings,

Ken KingstonHead of Year 8

This year has seen an emphasis placedupon Year Eight students making an effortto improve their application in~academic

areas. I was extremely pleased to see amajority of students act on the suggestionsmade in their mid-year reports and makenoticeable improvements in the second

semester. In addition to this, the HutchinsMiddle School has done particularly wellin the National Schools AcademicCompetitions in 200 1. Below, I'vehighlighted some of the individualachievements that our Year Eight boyshave attained.

Leadership and Service

Academic Excellence

This year's Middle School Council hadthe following members:Ramanan Daniel NewsletterNathan Street FundraisingIan Mitchell Activities

Robelt Sim ClUTent AffairsCharles Stoessiger Assemblies/ChapelTom Ryan AcademicsJack Viney Service

These boys have maintained high levels ofpalticipation this year. They fmished theyear working together to raise one hundred

and fifty dollars through their massivesausage sizzle. The money helps supportRodolpho, our sponsored student in ElSalvador.

As mentioned above, many boys took theopportunity to become involved in the

leadership program. A few of these stoodout as having the prerequisite skills to beappointed to the Middle School Council.After the leadership training period,students will be appointed to the MiddleSchool Council through recommendations

of students, tutors, Year Head and the Headof Middle School.

60VIRTUS 2001

Mr Berndt, once again, found himself atthe helm until he became ill. This came asa shock to staff and students alike. We areall glad that he is making steady progress.

This term has been my first as Year Head.I have found this year's students to be anexceptionally friendly and cooperativegroup. I have been impressed with thematurity shown by all boys and patiicularlythe ones who have learned from theirmistakes and have finished the year on apositive note despite having difficultiesearlier.

Year 8 Sausage Sizzle

In second term, Mr Chris French returnedfrom leave to resume the Year Head role.The camps to Little SwanpOit highlightedthis term. Each tutor group spent five daysin the bush learning and honing bushnavigation skills. The camp includedcanoeing, navigation and camp cooking.The boys always find this camp to be anenjoyable but challenging camp wheremany important skills are learned. Duringthe term Mr French left the school after 11years of outstanding service to take on anexciting role as Head of Middle School atWhitsunday Anglican School in Mackay.

The Year Eights have had another successful year in all facets oftheir schooling. They started the year under the guidance of MrChris Berndt who took Mr Chris French's place while he was onLong Service Leave. During this term more than half the boysbecame actively involved in the leadership program. In March therewere three training seminars held after school. These included anIntroductory Course, an Early Learning Centre Leader Course andan Upper Primary Leader Course. Boys gained skills insupervising activities for younger students. I was impressed thatmany boys completed all of the courses. The leadership trainingcamp was held late in March at "Grana" Camp at Lauderdale. Thisyear, over thirty boys participated and many stood out as potentialMiddle School Council Representatives.

An impressive year for Year 8

Groups of people were scattered here and there, climbing,abseiling, teaching, learning. The sound of clinking climbingequipment banging together filled the air constantly.

The large slabs of granite rock were very warm with the late-noon

sun. Behind the rock faces there was a great forest of lronbarkh'ees, creating a dead, silent area which was soothing to the ears asyou walked through. The sea was a dark blue-green colour withlarge clumps of stringy seaweed being tossed around like feathers

in the wind.

The campsite was behind the trees, down a small, dirt track:. Thetents were already set up, waiting for our retum. The climbing gear

was laid out in front of me: ropes, nuts, hexes, all worn with use. Afishing boat cruised past with a flock of seagulls chasing after it aspersistently as the moon chases the sun.

It was awesome. Great rocky slopes dropped down in front of me.One hundred and eighty degrees of ocean filling up most of myfield of vision. The rock face in front of me was at least thirtymetres high. There was no vegetation whatsoever on the rocksbecause when the stonns come the waves can reach up to twenty­five metres. Whatever trees there are on top are really struggling

for survival; the wind lashes at them twenty-four hours a daythrough the winter and during the sununer the sun bums the hellout of them. With no water available, they should really be dead.

It was absolutely awesome.

Man returns to life, evelything blackGrabs lantem, stalts flame, instantly jumps back.For there, not far away, seen as he stoodWas an tillconscious figure in the midst of thewood!

Boot slips from stilTup, feet fall to landPressure is off now, no enemies at hand.Man lies down, reaches up, pulls back his hoodBeneath lies a sunken face, no h'ace of good ...

Canines continue though sightings are noneDetermined to bring in the long-hunted one.Muscled flanks rippling unaware of surroundsTails in the air, heads to the ground.Formation is lost - no pattern clearFlying, flying! No thought offear.

The last thing he sees is the sun in descentAnd falls into sleep, for the daytime is spent.

Cloth cloak billows grandly, receives chilling windFollowers are furious; their victim has sinned.Canopy thickens, light is blocked out ...Horse disappears, leaves only a shout.

Four-legged one stumbles, time will not wait .Rough road is h'eacherous and awkward Its galt.Cover is scarce; the odds are the sameMan on horse wishes that this was a game.

Reflection of horse-rider shimmers on lakeCloaked man on stallion's back, death in his wake.Escaping to sunset, nowhere to hide .Chasers are killers and death they provide.

The Kokoda TrailPerched in a tree, unseen, a sniper waits.Peering through his rifle's cross-sight, his dark eyes show no emotion.

Silence ...The jungle, empty of all human noise before, sounds to the noise of a patrol,

Trying to move quietly through jungle so thick it could swallow a train.

These souls crash through the fems and stumble tlu'ough the mud,

Wishing the war had never happened.Packs weighing them down, guns slung over their backs, heads hanging down,

Hiding eyes bloodshot and lifeless.A shot rings out over the jungle, a soldier jerks and falls.His hopes of glory gone in a telTifying instant as his eyes glaze over.The other patrollers fall and bury themselves into the stagnant ooze that is the ground they

Were moving across.The victim lies face down in the mire.No songs will be sung about him.One hundred years later no-one will even remember who he was or what he did.

This is war on the Kokoda Trail.

A major step forward this year is theincreasing access to curriculwn coursewarematerials online from home or school.Global knowledge is increasingexponentially. We need to maintain a strongthrust on infOlmation literacy to help boysselect appropriate infonnation sources anduse them effectively.

This year we increased the nwnber of"Vocational Educational and Training"Certificates available to Year 11 and 12 boys.The very successful Multi-Media Celiificateintroduced in 2000 by Mr Moore continuedinto its second year, while Mr Starkey and MrKingston introduced the Maritime Celtificate.

Strong policy support, and anti-virus,copyright and privacy management, is inplace for boys' acceptable use of the intemetand email services. A wonderful group ofstudent IT leaders provide infonnation andsupport to boys using the Internet and emailservices.

Maritime Studies complised two VETCertificate II courses, with knowledge andworkplace components. The workplacecomponent required extensive time on andunder the water. The coxswain's courseconsisted of six modules: nautical knowledge(including watch-keeping and navigation),engineering knowledge of inboard andoutboard engines and ship systems, shipboardsafety including fire-fighting and sea survival,marine radio operation, senior first aid andWliting skills.

of any student. The question is not are thestudents being taught? The question is arethey learning? In the last twenty yearsschools have significantly changed fromthis model. This is particularly so in theprimary departments and would be veryevident to any parents visiting the ELC orthe Junior School at Hutchins. Some yearsago we conducted a major review of earlyadolescent learning at Hutchins, thatfocussed on the Middle School years. Thisresulted in major change both to thefacilities and to the teaching practice inYears 7 and 8. We are now extending thereview process to Years 9 and 10.

We cannot achieve all these goals throughroutine classroom teaching alone. As aresult, we are examining ways of engagingthe boys actively with the issues that affectyouth and affect the Tasmanian communityboth in the urban and in the ruralenvironment. I expect some teaching willbe away from the main school site. Therehas been wide consultation this year with aview to producing a model next year andthen implementing the changes into Year 9at the start of 2003. The model will providefor more choice and diversity in Year 9 anda closer lillking of Year 10 to Year 11. Theschool is fortunate to have Mr PeterSymons leading these exciting changes.

PE & Health (Mind Matters)

Mindmatters refers to a national resourcepackage which supports whole schoolstrategies to improve the health and well­being of students. Social and emotionalwell-being have been linked to youngpeople's schooling outcomes, their socialdevelopment, their capacity to contribute to

In Junior School the program has beenbased on 'First Steps' which is adevelopmental literacy resource focused onthe four language components: writing,spelling, reading and oral language. Itemphasizes teaching and assessmentpractices and encourages the boys to beactive learners, to think and solve problemswhile recognising, supporting andchallenging them. Initial results arepleasing and the program will continue in2002.

Revitalizing Years 9 and 10

At the beginning of this year the SeniorSchool introduced Drop Everything AndRead (DEAR) for all year 9 boys. DEARcuts across the curriculum by mandating a20-minute silent reading period after recesseach day. One of the aims is to betterfacilitate the transition from Middle toSenior School while instilling the habit ofreading. The emphasis is on pleasure andchoice within some broad guidelines. I ampleased to report the program has been agreat success, with boys and staff alikeenjoying their DEAR time. Mr BradWells, The Head of English, has taken aparticular interest in literacy including theintroduction of DEAR.

Boys' Literacy is currently a major issuefor educators and the wider community ­and rightly so! It has always beenimportant, but perhaps never more so thanin today's competitive and skill-basedworld where the ability to communicateeffectively is crucial.

Curriculum DevelopmentsThis Year2001 has been a very active year forcurriculum review and development. Workcontinues on "integrated studies" in theMiddle School. This year the theme was"Heroes". It culminated in a verysuccessful family evening in Tenn III.

Literacy

Society is moving from the 'Industrial Age'to the 'Information Age'. Schools, alongwith other institutions, are part of thischange. School practice has been basedlargely on a 19th Century factory model.Children moved in batches to teachers whoinstructed the whole group at the sametime. In this model children were viewedas all being equally deficient in knowledge.The teacher was the provider of knowledgethat was distributed equally to the wholeclass at the same time. The problem withthis model was that it does not engage allthe students, perhaps even all the capacity

Introduction of theDirector of StudiesHonours ListWe have some exceptionally talentedscholars in Year II. For some years I havebeen concerned that our celebration of'leavers' results overlooks the outstandingresults of Year 11 boys, often in the samesubjects as the 'leavers'.

I am delighted to inaugurate the followingboys to the Director of Studies HonoursList for 2000, for achieving the top 5% ofTertiary Entrance Scores in Year II. Topof the list is Andrew Morrisby who gaineda Teliiary Entrance Score of 92.9 on fivepre-tertiary subjects. In three of thesubjects - Biology, Music and PhysicalScience - he gained the top score in Year11/12, a truly exceptional performance. IanPang also gained five pre-teliiary scores,with a TER of 79.3. Ian gained a perfectscore of 20 for Physical Science. He wasclosely followed by Jonathon De-Hoog,who had four exceptional pre-tertiaryresults with a TER of 74.9. Jonathongained the equal top score for Music.Adrian Kan also successfully studied fourpre-tertiary subjects and gained theoutstanding TER of 72.6. Adrian gainedthe top score for Mathematics Stage 2.Very close behind him, ThanapisalKoohapremkit gained a TER of71.1 basedon exceptional results in four pre-teliiarysubjects. I know the whole schoolco=unity joins me in congratulatingthese boys on their fine achievements.

VET course: Students lined up to fightfires

There were many outstanding individualresults amongst last year's leavers. Thenumber of boys who gained scores in the90s increased last year. I have listed themin descending order: Eric Daniel, OscarPotter, Michael Shaw, Nick Starkey, JasonSui, Richard Chopping, Matthew Baldwin,Nick Chapman, James Murdoch, RobertHowell, David Townsend, Robeli Clark,Toby Ekins, Alistair French, Hugh Ellis,Suthaharan Mahindroo, Anthony Bastick,James Jenkins, Ben Tallboys, John Banks,Nick Balcombe, Leith Walker, Peter Cerny,Tom Gibson, Michael Nicholas, FinnDorney, Andrew Langford, David Bell,Tim Warren, Richard Griggs and WilliamWard.

Of course we celebrate the achievementsof all our leavers but we particularlyrecognise those boys who gained TasmaniaUniversity Scholarships: Jason Sui wonthe CONTECH prize for the mostoutstanding results in Information Systemsthroughout the state. Tom Bignall, aHutchins student in 2000, won the Schoolof Agricultural Science Prize for bestcandidate in Agricultural Science at theTCE examinations in 2000.

On a number of measures, last year'sresults were an improvement on 1999. Theimproving Tertiary Entrance Scores (TER)show a very large number of our boys areresponding to the thrust on academics.32% were in the top 5% of state scores,64% were in the top 15% of state scores,and 86% were in the top 30% of statescores.

Director of Studies Report2000 Leavers' Results

Senior School

Boys leaving Year 12 now receive twoscores. These scores rank students on asingle scale for entry to university. Thefirst is a scaled Tertiary Entrance Score(TER) and the second is a nationalInterstate Transfer Index (ITI). The TER iscalculated by adding together the score(out of 20) of a student's best five subjects.This figure is then 'scaled' to take intoaccount the quality of work done by thestudent in the particular subject relative totheir pelformance in all their subjects.Scaling is not fixed. It varies from year toyear. Last year the Year II results werescaled for the first time while the Year 12results were not scaled. It will beremembered that the university introducedthe TTl in 1999. It provides a commonbasis for comparing student scores betweenall Australian states. There are moves to

Report from theHead of HouseIt has been a privilege to join SchoolHouse and I have spent a year quietlylearning the ropes. In this task I have beengiven lots of help from the entire house,but particularly from Mr Rae, MsSchafferius and Aup Koohapremkit. Auphas been an outstanding leader in his ownquiet, gentle, efficient and deeplyhonourable way. He kept me informeddaily and made certain that every eventwas fully prepared and catered for. MsSchafferius is planning personified, andknows the administrative intricacies of thehouse backwards - School House should bevery grateful indeed to her for her fine joband in particular for the part she played asActing Head of House in Term Two.The house has much to be proud of. There

is no event in which we did not competeand compete wholeheartedly. Indeed, wehad a number of unexpectedly good resultsover the whole year. We won the crosscountry, chess and music competitions andperformed creditably in a number ofindividual sports including orienteering,rowing, sailing, surfing, Australian Rules,badminton, squash and volleyball. This isall testament to what the house can do ­even the inaugural 'Egg Cup' egg-throwingcontest which we won against Bucksshowed that we are a house that perfonnswell because of the depth of participation.As a newcomer I was delighted to find somany willing participants who were notonly prepared to 'have a go' but also readyto step in when others could not meet theircommitments because of injury or illness.School is clearly a house that recognizesthat taking pali is just as significant aswinning.

House Captain's Report

Finally, this year has been a great year forthe House and I would like to thank all thetutors and students for their input. TheExecutive, the backbone of the house,deserves congratulations for another fineyear. I thank Mr Webber, the toughest manin the house having the hardest job, forbeing there for us, as it's not always easy inthe fust year of a new job. Thanks as wellto Ms Shafferius for the help she has givento the house and for her fme work as theHead of House during second telm. I wishevelyone the best for the future. It has beena privilege to captain the 'mighty' SchoolHouse. My final word is "keep the mightySchool House spirit alive and be involved".

We knew from the start of this year thatSchool House was not really in the race forCock House, but the School House spirithas been velY much alive. We proved to bethe loudest house in sports events andhaving our House Whip, Richard Webster,for the second year was a great asset to us.He showed his experience anddetermination to lift house spirit and set astrong example to the younger boys.

The assemblies, activities, fun lunches andchapel services have all been enjoyableoccasions and have been highly productive.Thanks to Chris SOimeveld, MarcusWindsor, Josh Tomlin and Matthew Deanfor their hard work.

Even though Thorold won the Cock Housecompetition, School House have wonseveral activities including chess anddebating, cross-country and music to put ussecurely in third spot and close enough toalmost clinch second place. Over the yearthere were many great personalachievements in the house in many areasfrom academics to spOlis. School Housewill be looking forward to clinchingvictory in the near future.

School House has a long tradition of"doing your best" and "being involved"helping the house cruise through the year ­we never had any hassles in filling up thespOlis events. 2001 was the second year forcross-age tutor groups and having the Year12s as big brothers, the Year 9s settled intothe house pretty quickly.

"Minds Directed to Things Above"There are moves afoot for something new and exciting in Chapel! It's not another leadlightwindow (although plans are undelway). Neither is it a motorised screen (we've just got anew one). It's a painting of naked people on the ceiling! We need our minds directed to"things above", and this seems the perfect way to do it. Fahan realised this long ago, and,in their hall, a canvassed bevy of the unclad look down on weekly worship.

What about this Michelangelo number from the Sistine Chapel painted on the ceiling ofour sacred site? (I'm talking Chapel, not tuckshop, and anyway the War Memorial Ovalhas no ceiling!) Visitors would flock in and look up, and rejoice greatly, especially whenthey think of the savings - they could be paying thousands more in airfares to seesomething similar but less fresh!

The Creation of Adamby Michelangelo

I thought this particular picture would be suitable for the following reasons:

First, it's a blokey kind of painting. Blokey to all but the most severely short-sighted!Chapel is not often thought of as a blokey kind of thing. Being reflective is, as far as Iknow, not a by-product of testosterone; singing is embarrassing to the insecure; and amessage of love, forgiveness and grace is hard to take after a lunchtime tearing around thefields like cave-men and is hardly what blokes should be doing - well, that's the myth.Our role as educators of young men is to do what we can to correct this short-sightednessamong the boys, so that they come to be aware of the "things above"; aware of God'scalling on their lives; and aware of what it means to be real men in his service.

Second, this painting could be seen as a pep-talk by the coach to a member of the team.The coach in this instance is God who says - "don't give up; show the world what the twoof us can do together as a team". The Christian life is not for the faint-hearted, but forthose with the same staying power we admire in sport. Said the writer of the Letter to theHebrews: "lift your drooping hands, and strengthen your weak knees .. .let us run withperseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter ofour faith".

Chapel

Third, I could look at this painting and bereminded of the many times at this Schoolthat I have seen people reaching out to helpothers. This painting would remind me ofthe friends who helped each other on therecent Year 9 camp. I went with a groupbushwalking up Adamson's Peak. Thegoing was rough, steep, and slippery, and Iwitnessed two lads walking on parallel andvery slippery logs spontaneously putting ahand out to each other, and alTiving at theother side hand-in-hand and safe. We needreal men in this world who canacknowledge their vulnerability, and whocan reach out to others withoutembarrassment.

FOUlih, this painting could be a classroomscene. Adam, on the left, is lethargic - hisarm rests on his knee and it's a feeblefinger that he dangles out. God (white­haired teacher, on the right, and properlydressed!) reaches out with desire toinspire ... and the hope is that theyconnect!! This mirrors what needs tohappen in our Chapel, and in our lives offaith. We need to reach out to the Godwho reaches out to us. We have a Godwho wants to touch our lives, and changeus with divine and inspiring life.

Jesus gave a message to the world tobelieve, because only in believing andfollowing in his steps would people findlife. Only in reaching out our hand toGod's hand will we discover life in all itsfullness.

The promise of God's touch and God's lifeis good for all people - even for littleblokes who run round like cave-men, andwho look for naked people on Chapelceilings.

We have had a large mix of people insporting, academic and cultural areas, withmembers of the first teams in football,hockey, mgby, soccer, rowing as well as arepresentative in the state rugby team. We

have members in debating teams, poetryand prose contestants, drama cast and crew,musicians as well as the best eight-ballplayer in the school. The key point is toget involved and do your best and you alsohave a lot of fun along the way.

The remarkable achievements in theboarding house this year are a result ofbeing in a tight conununity on schoolgrounds, having a compulsOly two hourprep for homework each night, being fed

some of the finest food in the state (most ofthe time) and overall having people thathelp you along the way.

Burbury HouseCaptain's Report

Contrary to popular opinion, the boardinghouse is a mixed group of people whocome from the country, city and overseas.Utes and four wheelers still get their fairshare of discussion, but at the moment wehave fifty-three people from Year 4 to 12,

nineteen of which are overseas studentsfrom mainland China, Thailand, Japan,Malaysia, Hong Kong, New Zealand andGreat Britain.

The boarders enjoy access to a huge range

of resources - an eight-ball table, tabletennis table, access to the gymnasium andweights room, tennis court, swinuningpool, cable television, a piano, networkedcomputer access - which keep themoccupied.

The refurbishment of the boarding housecontinues apace. Dorm 2, along with thesenior television room, was refurbishedthis year. Dorm 1 and the upper new wingare in the process of being refurbished andwill be ready for occupation at the start of2002. A networked computer facility wasinstalled at the start of2001. This facilitywill be extended to nine computers by thestart of 2002. The television room wasredecorated via a combination of inputs:the Burbwy House Support Grouppurchased the paints and the studentsprovided the labour. It was a wonderfulinitiative and, along with the curtains andcushions provided by the Burbury HouseSuppOli Group, has contributedsubstantially to the students' comfort.

Over the last few years the community hashad the benefit of a very skilled andconunitted staff. Their contribution hasbeen exemplary. Mr Jamie Roberts, whowas appointed at the start of the year, leftus in Term 3 to travel throughout Europe.Mr Richard Stacpoole, who has been withus for two years, leaves to pursue furtherstudies in Education in Melboume. MrTim Whelan, who has been a member ofthe community for three years, leaves inorder to conclude his HonoW's studies inEducation. Mr Brad Wells, a staff memberfor two years, leaves to take up a seniorposition at Scotch College in Melbourne.Each of them, along with the remainingstaff - Mr Hyland and Mr Warner - haveprovided outstanding service to thecommunity. Through their tuition, theirpastoral support, their patience andenthusiasm, their good humour, theirprofessionalism and their commitment,they have provided excellent role modelsfor the young men of the community andoutstanding service to the school.

Mrs Sarah Nicholas concluded her term asPresident of the Burbury House SupportGroup. Mrs Pip Allwright was electedPresident of the Support Group and MrsAnne Downie was elected Secretary. MrsSue Ellis was elected the Treasurer of theSupport Group. The conununity owes alarge debt of thanks for the efforts of eachof the outgoing office holders, in particularMrs Sarah Nicholas and Mrs StephanieBurbury.

from beginner routes to more challenging

slipped away as we got back into the habit

of climbing outdoors.

Highlights of the camp included: petrol

We woke to a magnificent day on Tuesday

and were relieved to find that none of our

food had been eaten by possums or the

infamous quoll. After a hem1y breakfast of

pancakes, we were back down to Lassies

rock climbing. We were fortunate enoughto be blessed with fine weather for the

entire camp and we were able to climbevel)'day.

Thanks to Mr Stewart for organising and

supervising the trip and also to Pak Wilson

for providing some light entel1ailU11ent

Another new experience for me was brush­

This was more a holiday than a camp. I

always have a fantastic time on the

haven't written about, like spending an

hour on a cliff and then having to be res­

Mr Stewart for making it all possible.

Nine keen adventurers gathered in the early

hours of Monday 16 April, prepared for a

four-day adventure. The trip was a

climbing camp held at Freycinet National

Park, on Tasmania's East Coast.

Climbing Camp

The sign "4WD vehicles only", at the

entrance to the access road, did little to

dissuade Mr Stewart, who drove the bus

and trailer, down the pot-holed and heavily

eroded remains of the gravel road. The

road brought us to the campsite, which

would be our home for the next four days.

Much to our surprise the campsites were

filled with people also enjoying their Easter

breaks.

Our campsite was situated in an open forest

about 250m away from the clifftop and

was dotted with eucalypts, casuarinas and

clumps of native grasses. We set up our

tents where we could and unpacked ourgear.

That aftel1100n we headed down to Lassies

where we put the bikes in the back of the

With school the next day, we had to come

home - another few days would have been

nice. The group consisted of Jimmy (pud­

dle tester) Walsh, Claire (feet of the pedals)

Hewer, Mr (wiser than all of us) Stewm1,

and myself (can't get feet out of tbe ped­

als). Thanks to Mr Stewart for coming on

this trip with us, and keeping us from injur­

ing ourselves too much!

Simon Enman

My first experience of shopping with guys

occurred at a supermarket in Launceston,

whilst Mr Stewart ate tea. We went in

detel111ined to buy something to eat, yet

spent most of the time wandering through

aisles doing nothing. Finally we left, hav­

ing bought some vegetables and a Red Eye.

We were lucky enough to stay with

Jimmy's cousins out in Lilydale. Evel)'

night, after cooking on our stoves outside,

we'd have bonfires. We'd walk back late,

and sleep in the roof of their house. We'd

We then drove to tbe top of Mt Mangana

and walked to the trig station where we

could see the snow-capped mountains of

the South-West. After returning to the car,

we unpacked the bikes and rode down the

other side of the mountain. With speeds in

excess of 65 lans/hr this was the fastest

section of the h·ip. We rode to Alonnah,

When we got back to Adventure Bay,

despite snow on Mt Mangana (at 57lm the

highest on Bruny Island), we went for a

swim in the crystal-clear, inviting water of

the bay - yes, it was cold. We went back to

the showers to walm up, spending even

more money.

The next morning after a bit of a sleep-in

(about 8 o'clock) we went for a walk along

Adventure Bay beach and the area

surrounding the caravan park in search of

tracks to get muddy. We found a track that

led out to Grass Point, with a view of

Penguin Island and Fluted Cape(a sea-kayaking destination last year). The

h'ack proved to be a challenge to all of us

as it was very muddy. The fmal 200 meh'es

we rode about three times to see how

muddy we could get our bikes and our­

selves. Mr Stewart was the only one not to

do this. He has more brains than we do.

The highlight of this ride was watching

Jimmy test how deep the puddles were for

us, and watching Claire going down the hill

without her feet on the pedals. One of the

highlights for the others was watching me

test the depth of one of the puddles, not

being able to get my feet out of my pedals,

falling into a deep puddle and getting vel)'

wet.

Simon Enman, Claire Hewer and Jimmy Walsh at the caravan park after Grass Point Ride

That night we stayed in Adventure Bay and

enjoyed the 20-cent showers, each spending

about one dollar to wash off the mud that

had been a second skin for the past few

hours.

The ride proved more of a challenge than

we expected. The first part of this track was

deceiving. The track turned from slightly

uphill and slightly damp to very steep and

muddy. When we reached a plateau the

puddles got deeper and we were trying to

ride through puddles well above our axles.

We ran out of water half-way around the

five-bour trip, and had to get water out of a

muddy, murky stream.

house before walking down to the water at

Courts Bay. We drove for another five

minutes before the stm1 of our next ride ­

we were going to attempt to ride the

Labillardiere Peninsula.

The trip were led by Josh Tomlin, JimmyWalsh and me, under the watchful eye ofMr Andrew Stewart. Thanks must go to MrStewart who gives up his time so that we

can have wonderful experiences on these

trips in this great state of ours.

With a number of participants pulling out at

the last minute, we didn't need the bus and

instead took "Pansy", Mr Stewart's car.

After the fen)' trip from Kettering to Bruny

Island, and a short drive, we began the first

ride of the day. On the track out to Mars

Caleb Lang and Nick Parker were our crack engineers, although Nick had h"ouble staying

onboard the rwlabout. Part of the certificate was the mandatOty occupational health and

safety module for all sea-going personnel - it includes fire-fighting and sea survival.

Jonathon de Hoog achieved the highest score in the Marine Radiotelephone Operators

Certificate of Proficiency exam, conducted by the RYCT. The improvised eye dressing

(using a plastic fUlUlel) applied to Derek Emerton during the Workplace Level II First Aid

course would have made a memorable photograph. A prize for the most surprised student

starting this course.

Plateau WalkLake Olive to Lake Ball and return

3 - 7 January 2001

Due to this, we set off home earlier than planned. We backtracked until we found a

suitable campsite, crossing a raging liver to get there. Because it was still raining, we went

to bed at 5 pm (this was the normal bedtime during the walk) and we had to cook in our

tents.

Next moming, it was still raining heavily, and we set off for the bus on the fmal leg of our

epic journey. Most of us were dripping wet already, so we decided tbat puddles on the

track were a challenge to go straight through! We were pleased to change into dty clothes

when we got back to the bus.

Walking was

challenging

because of tbe

dense scrub

and we often

disappeared

up to our

knees in the

sphagnum

moss and

underground

streams.

While we

were there,

the night-time

temperatures Nick Pernt leading on Lassie 50 Wall at Freycinetwent down tominus 6 degrees C! We woke up to find frozen condensation on the inside of our tent.

Outside, all the puddles and tams were frozen over.

The first things I think of when I recall memories of this walk are of rain, cold, walking

through squashy sphagnum moss and mist which stopped us seeing very far ahead and

made navigation velY hard for us.

We would all like to thank Mr Stewart for organising this trip for us.

Due to illness, we reached the base of tbe Walls of Jerusalem a day late and arrived in the

early evening. Michael set up his tent on a rock and a bush much to evelyone's

amusement. The next morning, we woke to fog and light drizzle that soon turned into

heavy rain. Tbis ruined our chances of going to see the Walls.

The group, led by Josh Tomlin, included myself, my brother Simon Enman, Nic Pemdt

(Grug), Jimmy Walsh, Jon Owen, Michael Ingram, Claire Hewer (Collegiate), Puck

Wilson, Mr Stewart, and Keny Rose. Unfortunately, Kate from Collegiate had to leave on

the first day due to illness.

The walk was a classic SW trek with all the

scrub the group could handle and

precipitous slopes and river crossings

interspersed with Fagus and magnificent

Pencil Pine and King Billy Pine stands

around strings of tiny tams.

The year 10 (and above) walk this year

MUSIC

"I want the whole schoolto sing!"

We did, we do, and somay it continue...

It is with a degree of sadness that I write, a

in 2002 I will only be teacing part-time at

Hutchins as I have been appointed to the

position of lecturer in charge of contempo­

rary music at the Tasmanian

Conservatorium.

I was appointed Head of Performing Arts

12 years ago and I have seen enormous

changes both in music and education

during this time, some good, some not so

good. Ultimately though, the 'proof is in

the pudding' as my father would often say:

as I look around I see boys actively

engaged and involved with music making

of such a variety of genres and

demonstrating, more often than not,

unbelievable talent and a musical maturity

beyond their years, I am even more

convinced of the importance of keeping

music available and accessible to as many

kids as possible through whatever medium

works best. Music enriches all our lives,

and needs to be at the forefi'ont of any

comprehensive educational philosophy and

practice. A famous (or should it be

infamous) ex-Headmaster once demanded

of me, "I want the whole school to sing!"

We did, we do, and so may it continue.

As is usually the case, 2001 has been an

exciting year for all our various ensembles.

Mr Leonard established the concert band in

Term I, which has given our developing

brass players and rhythm sections an

excellent opportunity to further their

playing skills. Mrs Dennis continues to

have tremendous success with the string

ensemble, trios and quartets tlu'oughout the

School. The boys play for semi-profession­

al gigs as well as school concerts, but have

also had great success in the various

eisteddfods this year. Scott Cashion's work

with reeds and particularly the sax quartet

has been stunning as always, and our large

peripatetic staff continue to inspire and

encourage their students to strive for their

very best.

The Chapel Choir continues to go from

strength to strength and have this year

produced their third CD - To Be A Light.

They will again tour England next year,

and are making a unique contribution to the

musical and spiritual life of not only the

School, but for the Tasmanian community

as a whole. Mr Steven Morris' continued

contribution to the ongoing development of

this ensemble is quite remarkable and

always of the highest musical standard.

Mrs Short is legendary in the Junior

School. An article such as this could never

do justice to her remarkable devotion to the

boys and their music. Choirs, orchestras,

small and large wind and brass ensembles,

charity, church and perfOlwances for the

elderly, concerts of the both the highest

quality and with the involvement of every

child in one way or another - she is a rare

gem indeed.

Major Events

The Hutchins Collegiate Concert was held

in the wonderful new Federation Concert

Hall and featured some of the best musical

performances tbat one could wish to see,

including the Tasmanian premiere of David

Fanshawe's African Sanctus, complete with

African chant and a huge percussion sec­

tion! Chapel choir, big band and the jazz

trio were also highlights in a conceit that

was very exciting and a great success.

The first School of Perf0l111ing Arts concert

for 200 I was held on the 24th May, and

featured the amazing talents of some of our

best musicians, dramatists and dancers.

Both the SPA conceits this year have

highlighted some of the prodigious talent

that exists within the perfollning arts at

Hutchins and Collegiate. Our jazz trio,

string and sax quartets have developed at

an astonishing rate during this year and

have become wonderful ambassadors for

the school.

We had a great rock band compete in the

open section of the Rock Challenge

this year for the first time and

although unplaced, Mr No Pants

eal11ed the admiration and support of

everyone present with a spirited and

musical perfonnance. The night was

unbelievably loud and not for the

faint-hearted, but I feel sure it will

become an annual event for us into

the future.

House music this year was marked

by the highest musical standard tbat

I can remember. This is one of my

favourite events as it is really very

student-centred and puts a great deal

of the responsibility for organisation,

preparation and musicianship on the

boy's shoulders. All the boys did a

fantastic job, performing to a most

appreciative, if somewhat biased,

audience.

We had a visit from the Cincinnati

Junior Strings in July, and they

joined with our own string players

for a wonderful concert. CJS are attached

to the Ohio State University and attract the

best string players in the state. They tour

somewhere in the world evelY year, and we

all made some great new friends and will

hopefully continue this relationship into the

future.

There were two other musical events that

were particularly special this year. Firstly,

there was Jazz in the Quad, wbich featured

the talents of the best jazz musicians in

Tasmania including Ian Pearce and Maria

Lurighi, some of our wonderfully talented

peripatetic staff, and our own sensational

big band. The choir SUppOlt group did a

superb job with the catering, and the

magical lighting and (new!) sound system

all combined to make one of the most

professional, musical and memorable

concert evenings that I have experienced at

Hutchins. I am particularly proud of our

Big Band and all that they have achieved in

the last 12 years and wish them every suc­

cess for their future.

The second special event was a little more

'low key', but the visit of the Australian

String Quartet in November was like a

precious jewel! Internationally renowned

cellist and Hutchins old boy Lei Wei Chin

performed with them in a fantastic concert

that followed a day of master-classes with

our best string players. To be able to attract

a musical ensemble of this calibre to

perform here at Hutchins was indeed a

credit to the school, the foundation and the

quality of music that exists here and that

now has a significant and well-eamed

reputation throughout this state and main­

land Australia.

Finally I would like to pay tribute to

Michelle Weeding and Steve

Hickey, co-ordinators of drama

and art respectively and the

other most important two tbirds

of the faculty. I wish to publicly

acknowledge and praise their

professionalism and giftedness

in their own areas of expertise.

Our combined efforts with Little

Shop of HOITors (Michelle with

the lions share!) will live in my

memory for a long time.

Together, we produced a musical

not soon to be forgotten in

Hobalt - or, more importantly,

not forgotten by the actors,

singers, musicians and crew.

The past twelve years have been

a lot of things - frantic, fun,

difficult, exciting, challenging,

rewarding, tiring, infuriating,

fulfilling ... all of these and more,

in valying degrees and at

different times, although always

more positive than not. Finally,

to the principals, my many friends and col­

leagues, to all the boys and the extended

and extensive Hutchins family, thank you.

Your gift of friendship, overwhelming sup­

POlt and love will remain with me and be a

part of me always.

After celebrating the Club's manysuccesses, work was soon afoot onreinvigorating the shed and all the

equipment. Two new boats were purchased('Tim Fish' and 'John Clel1l1ett'); the wholefleet of boats was restored and, in somecases, rebuilt; two new rowing machines

were purchased; the shed was renovated;and new protocols introduced to produce amore efficient and well-resourced rowingclub. Thanks must go to the Master-in­charge, Brad Wells; the boatman, TedMcCulloch; the coaches; the suppo11ers andthe many other people who made 2001 ayear to remember.

dominated all season culminating with firstdivision wins in the Head of the River.Indeed, the under 15 first division quadwas undefeated all season. This depth wasfurther demonstrated with wins in manysingle and double events, giving Hutchinsthe underage aggregate shields for theN0l1h West Schools and TasmanianSchools Championships.

The Under 16 eight had an ongoing tusslewith Friends, managing to win the

Southern Schools and Southern Head butnot the Tasmanian School Championships.The battle lines were drawn for the Head ofthe River. To the jubilation of their coach,John Clennett, and the crowd on the banksof Lake Barrington, they won in a time of4.37 minutes.

2001 proved to be an exciting and highlysuccessful season for the Hutchins BoatClub. In addition to some great successeson the water, a strong sense of prideinfused the shed all year, with coaches,parents, friends and supporters allcontributing to a strong club dedicated tothe tme spirit of competition andsportsmanship.

Rowing

The First VllI began their demandingtraining program early with Mr Roach and

Mr Wells, and competed in some pennantregattas and the Royal Hoba11 regatta. As

an entirely new and light crew confrontedwith some strong competition, it was clearthat the challenge was before them. Theywent on to secure one win and severalseconds, gradually improving, with the

hope of catching Friends in the final race ofthe season - The Head of the River.

Unfortunately, it was not to be, with thecrew crossing the line fourth. Nonetheless,they had come a long way, matming intofine young men who always gave theirbest.

In the junior crews we had much success,once again showing that Hutchins has thegreatest depth of any school in boys'rowing. Our Under 14 and Under 15 quads

In public speaking, the highlight was David Millington's success as statewide runner-up in the Rotary Public Speaking Competition.The Poetry & Prose in Performance evenings were again most entertaining, and congratulations to Matthew Mulcahy for winning theIntermediate section and Tom Stove for winning the Senior section.

Literary & Debating Society

Public Speaking, Poetry and Prose

Thirteen teams of Hutchins' finest young speakers from Years 7 to 12 ensured the season was destined to reach the greatest of heights.This came to fruition with a crushing victory for the Senior B debating team, consisting of Chris Jones, James Oxley, Alex Finnis andLiam Coyle, over Guilford Young College in the final of the Southern Independent Schools Debating Competition. This was followedbrilliantly by the Intermediate boys, who managed to overcome Fahan in a close final. Joseph Aston and Edward Webster formed partof a team in the inaugural State Parliamentary Shield Debating Competition, and after taking a clean sweep of the tournamentovercame the Scotch Oakbum team to bring the trophy home for Hutchins.

But all teams this year experienced great success, including the senior Tasmanian debating Union team, consisting of Rowan Ashby,Greg Irons, Tim Watters and David Millington, who showed great talent in an unfamiliar debating format. With three trophies it was apleasing end to the season.

Edward WebsterPresident

Undoubtedly, the success achieved in 200 1 resulted from hard work behind the scenes. On behalf of all boys in the society I wouldlike to thank all coaches who brought our teams up to winning standards, the adjudicators who helped the season run so smoothly, andespecially Mrs Cook for her tireless efforts in a memorable year.

The Anniversary Debates were another highlight and largely overcame problems of previous years: the Old Boys came away with awin against the students, and after a rather dubious decision in the Staff vs Students Debate the teachers stole the day. The GreaterDebate against Collegiate was again an hilarious and most entertaining evening with Tim Green and David Halvorsen assertingHutchins' dominance. Finally, House Debating involved more boys than ever, and Thorold took victory in a huge event.

The Under 15 team continued their

development securing five wins for the

season including a hard fought victory over

St Virgils. Best players for the team were

Isaac Bennet, Ronan Fenton, James Jubb

and Ben Fergusson. The team finished one

win short of a finals position. The key

feature was the growth of the squad as a

unit. With continued work they will be a

formidable outfit in years to come.

The Under 13 team enjoyed a hugely

successful season. They progressed to the

Grand Final of their STJFL roster. This

was a great achievement in itself.

Unfortunately they met a stronger team on

the day. Merit awards were received by

Mark Fenton, Joel Edwards, Zac Johnson,

Jason Nichols, Nick Jones, Tom Harvey

and Nick Andrewartha whose skill and

commitment to their sport was exemplary.

Each of the members of the squad can feel

very proud of their achievement. They

now have a clearer understanding of what

is required to succeed at the highest level.

The Under 14 squad enjoyed a stellar

season, securing the STJFL premiership.

This was a remarkable achievement and

something of which the team, the club and

the school can feel very proud. In what is

an exceptional squad, stand out players

include Tom Friend, Robet1 Sim, Scott

Nichols, James Faulkner, Robe11 Jubb,

Mathew Creese, Michael Egan and Tyson

awards. Their coach Phil Kingston is to be

congratulated upon fonning such a

successful year, progressing into the

preliminary final of their rostered

the team were Jay Long and John Morey.

Special tribute must be paid to Mr Grant

mentor for members of the squad. His

contribution has been outstanding and we

are very much indebted for his efforts.

BasketballHutchins continued to maintain highstandards of play and spOlismanship infirst and third term. Eight teamscompeted in the School BasketballAssociation in first term and seven inthird term. Their successes weremany.

OpenIn the College Division of the SBA twoteams were entered in Term 1. The Year 12team led by Captain of Basketball SamHalliday, strong forward Sam Harvey andpoint guard Ben Taylor, improved over theseason to be grand fInalists against RosnyA.

The Year II squad was led by guards GrantBurdon and Alex Reid. Although notwinning many games, the skills of StephenBlakesley, Simon Hall and James Toppinimproved and enabled the team to becompetitive.

In the SATIS competition during Terms 2and 3, lack of post-winter practicehandicapped our efforts and we lost closeearly matches. The fInal wins againstClaremont and Hobart were impressive anddemonstrated our strengths.

Few of us will forget the leadership andinspiration provided by the rebounding(over 20 against Claremont) and scoring ofCaptain Sam Halliday and the periodicbrilliant inside and outside shooting of Year10's Aston Wills. The 3-point shooting ofAlex Reid, playmaking and passing of BenTaylor and strong offensive and defensiveplay under the basket of Sam Harveyenabled Hutchins to post a strong challengefor that elusive top position. Well done!

Year 10Injury in TelUl 3 hurt Hutchins' chances todevelop strong and cohesive basketball.The team entered twelve boys in theSouthern High School Tournament andonly seven competed in the round robinmatches to post a competitive 1 win - 3loss record.

In the SBA we had convincing wins againstless experienced teams but were unable topost wins against the top teams in thecompetition. Consistent performanceswere seen from Jonathon Cook as point

guard, Ben Jackson at small forward, SamMuskett under the basket, and outside andinside work of First team member AstonWills.

Year 9Mr Toppin and Mr Warner report thatseventeen boys played in two teams ofequal ability in the year 9 basketball rosterand enjoyed mixed success. Toby Mestitz'sconsistency at three-pointers, IsaacBelmett's all round skills, EdwardAshbolt's driving and tenacity and CallumCzyz's improvement were highlights of theseason. All of the boys involved are to becongratulated for their hard work andcommitment.

YearSMr Turbett reports that twenty players triedout for the two teams this year. We werefortunate to have some very competitiveand talented players who were able to playwith passion in both the games and intraining sessions. We made it to the fInalsin the Kingborough Southern BasketballCompetition finishing in third place.

The season saw vast improvement from allplayers with particular mention going toTyson Wills and Ashley Winter who wereselected for the Kingborough All StarsTeam. Robeli Sim has demonstrated hisleadership on the court as Captain, beingable to play well in any position.

The stars made the big points and themajority of the rebounds, but it is the depthand the strength on the bench that made theseason a success. Well done!

Year 7Coach Dr Ludwig reports that after a slowstali to the term, the Hutchins 7A teamended on a positive note, winning the lasttwo games. The team combined well withpositive play from guards Matt de Gouveiaand Matt Hill and forwards Saleh Sultanand Sam Stone.

Coaches Sam Halliday, Ben Taylor andJosh Marsh and the 7B team had a goodseason with more wins than losses. Newplayers in third tenll added strength to asolid offensive and defensive squad. MattWilson and Ross Schreuder displayed greattalent as guards and JalTod Brelis andGeoff Park as forwards.

Real Tennis...get 'real'Yes, this old sport is alive and well atthe olde school. It has been played inHobart since 1875 - almost as long asHutchins has been operating.Previously called Royal Tennis formost of its history in Australia, andcourt tennis in the USA, 'jeu depaume' in France, and just tennis [tothe purists] or real telUlis to others inthe UK, we now call it Real Tennishere. Not that we wish to demean lawntelIDis, but this game long predates"lawners".

Boys Try...

In Tenus 1 and 3 a small clique ofinterested boys from the Senior Schoolhave tried, and in many casesmastered, the basics of the game ­some doing it for the second or thirdtime throughout their senior years.Hopefully many will go on to playwhilst at university or in later life.

World Champion...

The CUlTent champion, Robert Fahey,hails from Hobart and has been champfor the past seven years. This is apretty good effort and in fact he is theonly Australian to have won a tennisgrand slam (Australian, US, Britishand French Opens in one year) sinceRod Laver did it in 1969 in the othertelmis. [Stop Press: he's just completedback-to-back grand slams, the fustplayer ever to win more than one] Notbad in a competition that has beenrunning since 1740.

Why not give it a go yourself? It is afascinating game.

The Water Polo season was one of mixed

success with many highlights this year, but

also some disappointing moments.

There were two Year 7/8 teams. Both

teams were strong and did very well

tlu·oughout the season. All boys developed

their skills and enjoyed the season. New

friendships were made and all boys

displayed good sportsmanship.

The A team, coached by Harry Pugsley

and Matt Gardner, made it to the semi­

fInal, but were beaten by St Virgil's.

Consistent performers for the A team

included Fabian Trueman, Stephen Beer,

Charles Gard and David Gardner.

The B team, coached by James Seddon and

Sam Halliday, were a little more fortunate

and went on to beat St Virgils in the grand

final. Consistent performers for the B team

included Jesse O'Hara, Nick Stebbins,

Michael Bamford and Mark Fenton.

The 9/10 team was very strong this year,

but struggled to rack up consistent wins. St

Virgil's beat them in the Grand Final but

the boys fought hard until the end.

Consistent performers included Lewis

Halliday, Jack Madden, Joe Pembelion,

Tom Mills, Jolm Dale Hove and David

Peterson. Thanks must go to their coach

Tony Cannell for his time and effort.

The Firsts also experienced defeat in the

grand fInal at the hands of GYC, in an

exciting encounter which went into

oveliime. Good performances for the

season came fi·om Danial Abdul-Rahman,

Matt Gardner, Andrew Egan and Harry

Pugsley. Thanks must go to Scott Wilson

for coaching the team.

After all the tiring training sessions at the

Collegiate pool and Clarence, and big game

nights, the boys thrived in the challenging

situations put before them. Every game was

contested with the greatest tenacity and

spirit. Bring on next year.

Both Hutchins 7 and 8 competed inDivision 7, the former being a teamcomprised of less experienced boys fromYears 7 and 8. Hutchins 7's main successwas the significant development of theplayers over the season, thanks to theguidance of First XI boys AlasdairGrenness and Andrew MOITisby.Particularly pleasing was the participationof boys either new to the sport or returningto hockey after a season or two playingother sports. Hutchins 8 was always apremiership chance. First XI playersAlistair Addison and Ben Creese provided

Hume Moase's team won the Division One with Rhys Meredith and David Buxton outstanding in the forward line, and Rhys wining theleading goal scorer award. The team had outstanding talent in all areas and should be a major force in the future. We have lost Rhys nextyear as his family left to go to the mainland. This will force us to look for more avenues to goal - a major task for the team next year.

The team in Division Two played some great games and did well, particularly as it was playing against the best teams from other clubs andschools. Andrew and Rob did an excellent job with their coaching. The Black and Magenta teams had their fair share of success with theMagenta team losing the title in the last game of the season. Sam McMillan, who took the team for the majority of the season, did a greatjob and was well liked by the boys and parents.

I have been enormously impressed over the past two years with the coaching carried out by our senior students. Their rappOli with theboys is excellent and the supportive way in which they approach their task is a credit to them. The school could not field the large numberof teams without their help.

Manythanks and appreciation must go to MrSouza for coaching us for the third yearwitb gusto and enthusiasm.

Under 15B

This year saw four teams at this level forthe first time in the School's history. Wewere unable to have three teams in the onedivision and so ended up with one team inDivision One, coached by Hume Moase;one team in Division Two coached byAndrew Deane and Rob Knight; and twoequal teams in Division Four. Matt Ironscoached the Black team, and SamMcMillan and Masaaki Kon coached theMagenta team. Despite the teams bavinglimited reserves, and some boys playing

Under 14B

With James McCulloch again coaching theHobart Zebras teams looked to be thegreatest danger at the start of the season,and this proved to be the case as theyfinished fust and second in the division.Our third place was a good effort withJeremy Hales outstanding up front, and ZacBereznicki the pillar of the defence. Theteam played some excellent soccer and isgrateful to James for all his hard work.

The Under 15B team, again coached byMiles Thorold-Smith, had anothersuccessful season. It played in DivisionTwo and finished in the top half of theleague. The team is grateful to Miles for hisdrive and enthusiasm.

This year saw the team taken by StefanHattrell and Clu'is Watson, two Universitysoccer team members, as pmi of the closerlinks between Hutchins and the UniversitySoccer Club. The team had a mixed season,with a large squad who needed to be betterorganised at training. The season saw somefine performances with the team finishingmid-table at the end.

Lapses in concentration, and somedecisions which went against us, meant wemissed out on a berth in the state final. Ourthanks go to Rowan, for his patience, andto tbose players able to train twice a week.

U16 Division One

The team once again had a very successfulseason, finishing second in the league to avery good team from Kingborough.Individual and team efforts resulted insome spectacular goals, passages of playand outstanding saves that ultimately led tosuccessful outcomes.

We played tbree of the five teams in thecompetition owing to the number of gameswashed out and lost only to the powerfulGuilford Young team. Unfortunately ourgames against tllis strong side have atendency to fall away in the second half.

After a disappointing season last year, anew and more determined under 16Bsoccer team stepped up to its best. Usingthe brains of our new coach, MrThompson, we started playing as a team.Injury-plagued, we still managed to showeveryone our team had guts anddetermination. Jorge Burgess-Lowe's"magical" goals led us to victory onnumerous occasions.

This year saw a very detennined team,eager to try and outdo its previous success.With Grant Hildyard again the coach, theteam performed well throughout the seasonto remain undefeated. Great wins wererecorded against the previous winnersSouth Hobart. At the end of the season theteam had won the title for the first time.This is also the first time that the schoolhas won this division. The team is gratefulto Grant for his coaching over the past fouryears.

Will McGregor had a stand out season assweeper in his first year, winning theinaugural presentation of the Hume MoaseMost Improved Player award, and MasaakiKon won the Best and Fairest trophy. BenCrosswell was outstanding in his ballcontrol and needed two players to stop himevery time he got the ball. Nick Meredith,Rob Knight and Andrew Deane were theplaymakers and John Andrews, the team'svice-captain, was again a tower of strengthat the back.

The season saw many injuries to keyplayers. After his best ever game for theteam, Mark Playle was injured playingrugby for the School's First XV when hecracked his sternum. Rob Knight, one ofthe best playmakers in the team, injuredligaments in his knee playing in the under23 competition. Will Kay also injured hisknee whilst trying a spectacular overheadkick and we had to nmse him through tothe state final where he scored the winninggoal! There were other injmies andproblems through the season, but it spokewell of the ability of the players in theteam that we were undefeated.

This was both a most successful yetfrustrating season for us. We went throughthe season undefeated, including a goodwin in the state final against LauncestonChurch Grammar School. However, theseason was very disjointed due to injuriesand bad weather. The major ground for ourSATIS fixtures is KGV in Glenorchy - theonly suitable venue in the south with lights.Unfortunately, owing to the amount of usethe ground gets during the season and therun of bad weather in the middle of theseason, we lost more than one completeround.

The 2nd XI has had a rather interestingseason. Great thanks go to our dedicatedyet frustrated coach, Rowan Dix. An OldBoy himself, he was amazed by thesomewhat shady turnout of prospectiveplayers. Training sessions were the best offun although gathering only small crowdsdue to other commitments and injuries.Despite this, we had a fairly successfulyear.

Surfing

National Championships

The first major schools regatta was held at Port Dalrymple Yacht Club on the Tamar River.Hutchins' frrst team consisted of Marcus Jones and Charles Cunningham (420), Stewali Wells(Laser), and Drew Latham and Adrian Clarke (420). The second team consisted of three Sabots,sailed by Josh, Nick and Blair. After the frrst day's racing in light winds the frrst team was situatedsecond overall, but stronger winds on the second day suited us, enabling the team to win theregatta overall.

The next major regatta was the State Schools Teams Racing Championships held at the LindisfameSailing Club. This was the selection series for the right to represent Tasmania at the nationalchampionships. In very light conditions the Hutchins frrst team progressed to the fmals where they managed to win a hard fought finalagainst The Friends' School.

But what is teams sailing? Teams sailing is a little bit like three-on-three basketball, orienteering and chess. The team of three is placed ona small box-shape course which takes about twenty minutes to complete. The aim is to position your boat in whatever way possible tobenefit your team and annoy your opponents as greatly as you can. A team wins by having the least points deducted. Points are deductedfrom a team according to the position of their boat when they cross the line.

State Regattas

Hutchins has had another very successful year in sailing, begining in Term I with schools teamsracing on Wednesday afternoons at the Sandy Bay Sailing Club, where both Hutchins teamsperfomled very well.

The Surfmg team has had a rapid increase in the numbers of surfers this year we now havethree teams. There is a First-Team consisting of experienced surfers who compete in theTasmanian State Round Competitions; a body boarding team competing in the State BodyBoard Competitions; and a learner team who compete in the second division at the TasmanianSchool Surfing Championships.

The highlights this year have been the success of James Eaves, our youngest but highest­ranked smfer. James is only in Year 7 but is already a veteran competitor, and he won hisdivision at the school championships. Another highlight was the East Coast Junior Challengein Scamander - a great experience for Mike Norris, Martin Mulcahy, Scott Lawless, Jack Viney and James Eaves.

Next year should be one of our best ever with a committed crew of up and coming champions. We also have Jason Zawadzski, an old boyand state representative surfer, joining our coaching staff. The banks at Clifton are looking good for Thursday night training sessions andwe plan a few trips before the competition season gets going. Our next mission will be the West Coast Classic in March 2002.

The body boarders also had a great season. David Roberts and Fraser Johnston achieved excellent results at the school championships withFraser reaching the heavily-contested final. The younger crew, consisting of Fergus Foulds, Louis Balcombe, Jeremy Parker and CharlesCunningham, have eagerly pursued the State Round Competitions. These boys will carry on a fine Hutchins tradition in body boarding.

Drew Latham

In the last week of the third term holidays Hutchins competed against all states in the Secondary Schools Teams Racing Championship heldat the Sandy Bay Sailing Club. The event was held in varying conditions with stronger winds early in the regatta giving way to lighterwinds in the last few days. By the end of the frrst day's racing Hutchins held a narrow lead over the Queensland team, a position held forthe remainder of the round robins. The final day of the championships was set for the finals between the Queensland and Hutchins teams.Racing was postponed for a while due to a lack of wind, but when sailing started the two teams sailed off in a five race final series, withthe first two races going to the Queensland team. The Hutchins team then re-grouped and managed to win the third race. Every race fromhere on was a must win. In a very close forrrth race the Queensland team managed to hold on to win, giving them back-to-backchampionship wins and the right to represent Australia at the Interdominion to be held in New Zealand.

This year's team was the most successful ever. Thanks are due to Mr McCammon for helping to manage and organise the team.
