The College by the Harbour - St Aloysius

Senior School Sport
Waverly won the title yet again but only narrowly from
Knox Grammar. Many boys achieved personal bests on
the night. One of the highlights was Chris Sudarmana
(Year 5) coming 2nd in the U12 – 50 metre
Championship.
Four boys have been selected to represent the CAS at
the CIS Championships in late March.
There are many promising swimmers in the Junior
School so the future does look bright. The team was well
led by Captain Jeremy May (Year 12) with excellent
backing from the Parent Committee of Messers Phil De
Gail, Steve Loomes and Gary Pasfield. Steve Badger
announced his retirement as MIC at the end of the
season function. He will however continue to coach. The
highlights to the season were the annual trip to
Southport during the January holidays and the team’s
fine performance at the Oakhill College Invitational
where the boys won the Junior Shield and narrowly
missed by 3 points winning the overall trophy from
Barker College.
Athletics
The confidence is high for another successful
season with many boys performing well at the
Wattle Series evenings held during the offseason.
Outstanding sprinter Patrick Jones (Year 12) has
been appointed Captain and will be well supported by
Vice-Captains Andrew Robertson (Year 12) and Doug
MacDougall (Year 12). Head Coach Mr Clayton Kearney
and MIC Mr Matthew Bookallil will lead the charges
through the next eight weeks with regular Saturday
carnivals, culminating in the CAS Championships on
May 18 at Homebush.
Rugby
Mr Frank Clarke, newly appointed MIC, has
been busy in the off-season lining up many Old
Boy coaches and others to assist at both the
Junior and Senior School level this season. Mr Rob
Sawtell and Mr Steve Zolezzi will again take the 1st XV
and with many players backing up from last year, the team
should be more competitive. Trial games begin on May 25
with games against Kinross-Wolari at home.
Soccer
Mr Edward Moerbeck, Coaching Director of the
College, who was previously in charge in 2000,
will coach the 1st XI this season. Mrs Caroline
Linschoten will continue in her role as MIC. Trial games
commence on May 25 with a gala day against Knox
Grammar.

Correction:
In the last edition of the Aloysiad we incorrectly reported that Matthew
Walker (Year 8) scored 117 runs in the 15A’s match against Trinity
Grammar School. It was in fact Justin Waller (Year 8) that scored the
magnificent innings. The Director of Co-Curricular and the Editor of the
Aloysiad apologise to Justin for the error.
