For those of you who were fortunate enough to see the ‘Wizard of Oz” I am sure you will agree that it was an out‐ 

standing produc�on. 

I wish to congratulate the staff involved for their commitment and willingness to get the best out of the students in 

the cast and crew. In par�cular, my thanks to the Director Catherine Litchfield. Catherine informs me that this is 

her 9 th Musical at KWS. Three of these she was involved in as a student and the other 6 in the role of Director. 

In addi�on, my congratula�ons to Musical Director Amy Coad, Produc�on and Stage Manager Dave Budden, Chore‐ 

ographer Marnie Grogan, Repe�teur Dahl Innes, Set Design and Art Work Maddie Young and Sally Dent. There was 

a large group of parents who helped with the running and produc�on of the musical and I am grateful for their will‐ 

ingness to assist in this demanding role. 

At this week’s assembly we honoured the students who took part in this produc�on. I congratulate each and every 

one of them for what was an excep�onal musical in every sense. I thank you the parents for your support of the 

musical by a�ending the various shows and ensuring that the cast and crew were available for the rigorous re‐ 

hearsal schedule.

Over her �me with us, Jane’s posi�on has evolved, mainly due to her outstanding skills and abili�es, par�cularly 

with her knowledge and understanding of the Denbigh Database.

James Morrison coming to KWS! 

On Sunday 29 July, James Morrison will be here at our school to present his concert which will be filled with lots of 

well known standards. He is bringing his own fabulous band and one of his favourite singers, Emma Pask, will also 

be performing. Our KWS Stage Band will have to opportunity to perform with him in the concert. 

Having a performer of his calibre at our school is a real coup. James performs on almost every instrument you can 

imagine and I know that everyone in the KWS Community will thoroughly enjoy the concert. We are hoping to fill 

the DPA so I would really appreciate you all coming along and men�oning it to all your family and friends. It will be 

a night to remember. The �ckets are super cheap – less than half price of a James Morrison Concert in a capital city.

Wizard of Oz 

I was fortunate to see the very first performance on Thursday last week with Year 7 and 8. My head is s�ll spinning 

from the visual feast that was this produc�on! The number of costume changes and the amazing sets were mind 

blowing. The en�re cast was outstanding, as was the musical orchestra. It was hard to believe it was not a profes‐ 

sional produc�on when hearing the likes of Olivia Fisher, Ben Wa�, Luke Eberle and Angus Crutcher sing. Congratu‐ 

la�ons to all the staff involved, in par�cular, Mrs Litchfield (Director), Mr Budden (Producer) and our three Music 

Staff, Miss Coad (Musical Director), Miss Innes and Mrs Moxey. 

HICES Forms due this Friday 

All students a�ending the HICES Music Fes�val must return their forms by this Friday 27 July. Please give your 

forms to Mrs Chapman in the Music Centre Supervisor Office. 

AOBO Young Performers 

Three of our music students have been accepted into the Young Performers Program at the Australian Opera and 

Ballet Orchestra: Leonie Pringle (Flute, Year 12), Annabelle Carter (Violin, Year 11) and Cecelia Carter (Clarinet, Year 

9). They are three of very few students accepted into the program across the State and will have a chance to per‐ 

form in an Opera Australia produc�on at the Sydney Opera House. Congratula�ons to you all. 

Asan� Dance Theatre 

On Monday 23 July, the whole of Year 7 spent period 6 playing African Drums, clapping, singing and dancing to the 

rhythms and songs of Asan� Dance Theatre. It was a wonderful event, which focused on call and response, beat 

and various rhythmic pa�erns. Year 7 students are studying “Music Around The World” this semester and the per‐ 

formance really solidified some of the concepts we have been teaching in class. The students par�cularly loved the 

aerial flips of the incredibly talented dancer and playing of the “African Playsta�on” which is a hand held pair of 

ra�les strung together to be spun and stuck together in an intricate pa�ern. I think they also liked the part where 

all the teachers stood up and danced a chicken dance! 

Have a wonderful week!

Rugby Report 

KWS 1st XV Vs St Patricks College 1st XV 

With the an�cipa�on of a home game and the support of 4 ex‐student reunions on a day made for running rugby, 

there was an air of excitment surrounding the Main Oval. St.Pats were riding high a�er bea�ng Stannies in their last 

ou�ng, and this encounter was sure to be an epic struggle. The first half saw the home team lead at the break 10‐5 

a�er sustained pressure, two well worked tries to Lucas Ferrari and Tom Harbison and a solid defensive line. The 

second half started in a similar fashion, bruising defence and few opportuni�es but as the game wore on it 

was apparent that the visitors had underes�mated the influence of the home crowd as well as the fitness and te‐ 

nacity of their opponents. Six unanswered tries and four conversions was nothing short of remarkable. The backline 

were firing all cylinders. The inclusion of Tom Bristow was a welcome return as he skillfully gained field posi�on and 

used the width of the field. The forward pack once again wore down their opponents by domina�ng the breakdown 

and pressuring the Pats lineouts. With 4 more ISA games to be played we con�nue to play for a top 3 finish and an 

undefeated record at home. 

Tries: J Yeomans 2, L Ferrari, T Harbison, B Freeman, A Hancock, M Dodds. 

Conversions: T Bristow 4, Penalty: T Bristow 

3 Points: Arthur Hancock, 2 Points: Jack Yeomans, 1 Point: Jack Marchinton, Tom Harbison, Angus Whitaker 

Score: KWS 46 ‐ St Pats 5 

KWS 2nd XV Vs St Patricks College 2nd XV 

The 2 nd XV could not have started be�er on Saturday Vs St Pats with a perfect kick‐off resul�ng in an opposi�on 

player being bundled in to touch about 20m out from the line. A well‐executed driving lineout was then performed 

and we had first points for the game. Sadly the game had 65mins remaining and our physical commitment a�er 

that point was not as great as was required. Poor defensive pressure and line speed gave St Pats the �me and 

space they needed to mount some sustained a�ack. Despite all giving our best to get back in to the game, we were 

unable to cross their line again and had three converted tries put on us. I am confident that lessons learnt in this 

game will stand us in good stead for the coming games. Watch this space! 


KWS 3rd XV Vs St Patricks College 3rd XV 

The KWS 3 rd XV began sluggishly on the weekend, allowing St Pats to score an early try a�er a 5m scrum pass was 

intercepted. KWS fought back with Kane Gardner running elusively, drawing two defenders before dummying in‐ 

side and then throwing an outside pass to a rampaging Connor Mendham who crashed over to open the scoring for 

KWS. Tom Rolfe converted to put KWS in the lead. St Pats replied with another 2 unconverted tries and were look‐ 

ing dangerous on the KWS 5m line when the half �me whistle blew. With Connor Mendham and Hamish Jamieson 

coming off the field due to injury, Alex Robinson and Charles McIntosh stepped up. Alex had an immediate impact 

on the game with a 15m charge through the defence before having the ball dislodged when on the try line but he 

managed to regather, spin and score. The try was converted to see KWS trailing 14‐15. St Pats scored again to es‐ 

tablish an 8 point lead with 8 minutes to go. KWS then moved up a gear and Alex Robinson scored an amazing chip 

and chase try from 40m out including some great soccer skills. The conversion hit the post to leave KWS 3 points 

behind with �me running out. Tom Rolfe beat a number of defenders and then got the ball to Lachlan Williams who 

was brought down 2m short of the try line. KWS managed to maintain possession for 3 phases before Ben Kremer 

crashed over to win the game. Tom Rolfe converted to see the final score 26‐22. This was an amazing fight back by 

the 3rds who played brilliantly in the second half to take the win from a strong opponent. 

3 points went to Ben Kremer for man of the match. 2 points to Tom Rolfe and 1 point each to Alex Robinson, Jock 

Fuller, Jordan Williams and Kane Gardner. 

Score: KWS 26 ‐ SPC 22 


KWS 16 Bs Vs St Patricks College 

The KWS 16B’s played some inspired Rugby to record a 21 ‐12 win against St Pat’s on Saturday. This was the 16B’s 

first win of the season and was well deserved considering the team’s dedicated approach to training. 

The 16B’s began the game well with disciplined play pu�ng us in good field posi�on but a dropped pass led to St 

Pat’s scoring the first try. This was converted to give Pats a 7‐0 lead. 

Despite this setback, the 16B’s did not panic and con�nued to put pressure on Pats through some commi�ed ball 

running from the likes of Beau Christopherson, Jack Conn, Robbie Blatch, Michael Brown and Jake Cooney and 

some solid tackling from everyone in a two blue jumper but especially Robbie Blatch, Michael Brown, Tim Gillham 

and James Pansini. The B’s forward pack also made its presence felt through some impressive work in the scrum. 

However, Pats were able to soak up the pressure and maintain possession in our half and this led to them crossing 

our line again to make it 12 ‐0 at half �me. 

At half �me skipper Andrew Stanbrook summed it up nicely when he said that the scoreboard was not an accurate 

reflec�on of how the boys had played and that if everyone put in a big effort in the second half then the match 

would be ours – or words to that effect. 

The 16B’s determina�on was reflected in their uncompromising defence in the opening few minutes of the second 

half and this was too much for St Pats. A spilt ball was swooped on by Andrew Stanbrook who went on a 40 metre 

run before scoring under the posts. Tim Gillham slo�ed the conversion to make it 12 – 7. 

Hard work at the breakdown helped the 16B’s string some phases together and Robbie Blatch crashed over out 

wide for a well deserved 5 pointer. The ever reliable Tim Gillham stepped up to kick a difficult conversion under 

pressure to give the KWS 16B’s a 14‐12 lead. 

There is li�le doubt that we had taken control of the game at this point but there was s�ll 5 minutes on the clock. 

Good play from the forwards took us to the St Pats line and Andrew Stanbrook sealed the victory with his second 

try of the game. This was converted by Cameron Robinson at full �me to make the final score 21 ‐12 to the 16B’s. 

Al Baxter was on hand to present an autographed ball to captain Andrew Stanbrook who secured the 3 points for 

the day. 2 points went to Robbie Blatch. 1 point went to Beau Christopherson, Jack Conn, Michael Brown, Cameron 

Robinson, Jake Cooney, James Pansini and Doug Bradley who had a good debut. 

Thanks to all parents and supporters for their help and encouragement on the day. This is much appreciated by the 

boys and the coach alike. We look forward to playing some good Rugby against St Andrews away on Saturday. 



This was a fantas�c result for the boys. They showed huge improvement in basic skills around the ruck and in the 

handling out wide. Lindsay Hartnig showed great strength and determina�on all a�ernoon as did Will Tierney. Joey 

Thomas was doing a fine job of organising the play out wide and Cameron Williams was encouraging the forwards 

in the �ght stuff. One of the highlights of the day was Asher Dixon’s decep�ve ball running, well supported by Chris 

Wa� and Shaun Labuschagne. We very much look forward to St Andrews this weekend. 



KWS 14A Vs St Patricks College 14A 

On a fine and warm Orange a�ernoon, KWS hosted one of the strongest teams in this age group. A�er an agonising 

single‐try loss to Stannies and a heart‐stopping draw with Knox, The boys had trained hard, and looked good going 

into this must‐win encounter with a team who had defeated Augus�nes by 43 points to nil, and gone down figh�ng 

to Oakhill by ten. A special session pre‐match with former Wallaby Al Baxter really assisted the boys with their 

warm up, and they ran on the field more focussed than in any game to date. 

The game was tough from the outset, with Pats much larger forward pack domina�ng in the scrum, but our quick‐ 

er, sneakier lose forwards constantly pinching at the breakdown. Excellent work by Tom Cummins, Jack Lamph and 

Toby Condon here, with standout defence from Toby Condon and Pete Alston. The first breakthrough came a�er a 

lapse in concentra�on following a turnover, with a Pats forward running through the unguarded rear to score un‐ 

der the posts. Seven nil. Our boys dug in, and carried this score through to half‐�me, where they were treated to a 

well‐ appreciated pep talk from Al Baxter once more, which served to focus and rese�le some highly strung emo‐ 

�ons. 

The second half, like the first was a grind, with scrum a�er scrum and very heavy work up the centre of the field. 

Our backline saw much less of the ball than it would have liked, but very effec�vely halted the Pats momentum in 

defence. Special men�on here to Louis Carr, whose phenomenal work around the Scrum and the back of the ruck 

earned him a coaches point, despite his unfortunate injury halfway through the second. Also, tackle of the day 

must go to Hamish Sheehan, whose try‐ stopping effort at the very last line was both thrilling and well‐ executed. 

Player of the Match Jack Lamph scored the opening try for KWS, running through at least three defenders to score 

out wide. Unfortunately Hamish Sheehan put the conversion slightly wide, leaving us two off the pace. Neither side 

was able to capitalise, so the score remained at the �ghtest of margins when the final whistle blew; Pats running 

out victors and KWS 14A with their second �ght loss for the season. There was nothing in this performance to be 

ashamed of, and every player gave their all. With four matches remaining this team has shown it can take it up to 

the best in the compe��on: Watch out Oakhill! 

P/P: Jack Lamph 

3 Points: Jack Lamph, 2 Points: Hamish Ellis‐Peck, 1 Point: Toby Condon and Louis Carr. 

Score: KWS 5 ‐ St Patricks College 7 


This was a courageous display against a much physically bigger side. The boys let in a so� early try but quickly 

fought back as new player Kyle Gibson ran from the back of a scrum to score a good try. The opposi�on were domi‐ 

na�ng, par�cularly at the breakdown, and the weight of possession soon told as they scored three more tries to 

make the score 20‐5. The half finished on a high note as Kyle once more caught the defence napping to score under 

the post. Blake Andrews converted to make the score 20‐12. The second half saw St Pats once more dominate pos‐ 

session and skip out to a 40‐12 lead. Milton Smith provided the highlight by running almost 90 metres to score just 

before full �me. The boys can be pleased with their effort in this game. Our tackling improved as the game pro‐ 

gressed with greater emphasis on body height at the contact point. We will work this week to ensure that our body 

height at the breakdown is be�er so that we can win a be�er percentage of the ball. Every game sees a further im‐ 

provement in the side as hard training and greater confidence produce more structured football. 

Score: St Pats 40 ‐ KWS 17 


Soccer Report 

KWS 1st XI Vs Molong 

The game started slow but when Diya Alsultani slo�ed a volley over the keeper we were hungry for some goals! 

Through many great passes and some quick running from our strikers we managed to control the game. We ended 

the first half six‐nil with Dave Sellwood on a hat‐trick. The team did well in the second half, finishing the game eight 

‐nil. Well done to Diya, Dave, Alastair, Max and Sam for scoring. Well played by everyone, especially Tom Glaston‐ 

bury for saving every shot on goal to get us our first clean sheet of the season. 

KWS 15 Vs Macquarie United 

This was one of those games that just didn’t go our way. Even with superior possessions throughout the second 

half the KWS team couldn’t cash in on the opportuni�es in front of goal. Our one goal was the result of quick, slick 

passing and therein lies a lesson for future games. 

Score: KWS 1 ‐ Macquarie United 2 

KWS 13s Vs Waratah Raiders 

For the first half we were well and truly in the game, playing a fluent, compe��ve brand of football. Our forwards 

were finding space behind their backs and pu�ng the their goalie under pressure. For the first part of the second 

half we again played well but then in the final 15 minutes we started to look vulnerable and our lack of fitness (it 

has been 5 weeks since our last match) and lapses on concentra�on took their toll. Four of the goals scored by Wa‐ 

ratahs were ‘so�’ and really should have been stopped. Overall the scoreline did not really reflect the game alt‐ 

hough Waratahs were deserving winners. Best on the ground were Morgan, Jack, Connor W, Callum and Sam J. 

Next week we go up against the leading team so we will need to work hard to make it a viable contest. 

Score: KWS 2 ‐ Waratah Raiders 7

KWS 2 Vs Blayney 

KWS 2 started strongly with good a�ack through the centre, taking the ball wide and then using the Inners Kelly 

O’Connor and Brocke Harvey ‐ Dale to drive into the circle. Leading 1‐0, the strong back combina�on of Annabelle 

Mu�on and Emma Harbison defended well, using Sophie Mi�on down the right side to penetrate through the field. 

In the second half, Blayney were at full strength and challenged our goal several �mes. Julia Parker in goal, deflect‐ 

ed several a�empts, however was le� open when a through ball to their centre forward was trapped and smashed. 

A quick second goal to Blayney occurred during a lapse in concentra�on and unfortunately �me ran out before KWS 

2 could equalise. 

Many thanks to the Megan, Bell and Mo who filled in beau�fully and to the lads who supported vocally! 

Score: KWS 1 ‐ Blayney 2 

KWS 2 Vs City 

It was great to have the Haigh sisters back for this match and Alice’s organisa�on from the back had the team talk‐ 

ing and posi�oning themselves well. One of the best tac�cal matches played this season, KWS 2 trapped and 

passed proficiently. This led to us outmanoeuvring the opposi�on on several occasions. By Ally Thurn and Annabelle 

Tierney combined well in the forwards to take advantage of quick ball. Sarah Fraser made an impressive start to her 

season in the Seconds, cemen�ng her posi�on with fierce defence in the first half. 

Annabelle Quigley’s tenaciousness was rewarded with a goal a�er the full �me siren of a short corner, even though 

our girls sprinted back to half way ready to have one more chance. Our apprecia�on to Lauren Coates, who did a 

splendid job filling in on the wing. 

Score: KWS 1 ‐ City 2 

KWS U15 Aqua Vs Ex‐services 

The girls played Ex‐services and got off to a great start will a goal to Olivia Kennedy. Ex services then went on the 

a�ack; even with the efforts of Josie Bloomfield in the goal we conceded two goals. Trailing 2‐1 we then scored 

through Kelsey Gray and Ally Thurn to make it 3‐2! 

Ex services then scored again to level it at 3 all! We then woke up and with more goals to Ally Thurn, Kelsey Gray 

and Belle Hazelton we had the game at 6‐3! 

This was a stellar effort by all the girls and we keep our season without loss on track! 

Score: KWS 6 ‐ Ex Services 3 

U18 KWS Green Vs Cyms 

The KWS Greens played a spirit filled game against a superior Cyms team on Friday night. Most of the game was 

heavily defensive. We are grateful to Megan Hunt and our newest team member, Emma Cheape, for their part in 

both challenging the Cyms players and clearing the ball from our circle. Gretel Bailey‐Preston performed admirably 

as goalie, ensuring that the Cyms players had to work hard for each goal. By the conclusion of the game she had 

certainly saved more goals than had been allowed to pass her defensive line. 

Score: KWS 0 ‐ Cyms 12

KWS 2nds vs KWS Junior As 

On Thursday a�ernoon at KWS, the girls played against a very strong Junior A's. Bridget Benne�, Lucy Alward and 

Sarah McIntyre all played great in defence with their strong rebounds and quick defence. Jordan Brodie, Carmen 

Date and Bridget Cooper produced lots of turnovers and good strong passes bringing the ball back down the court 

quickly. Sophia Cassima�s, Brooke Hamilton and Rachel Gentles, had a great game, with a very high shoo�ng per‐ 

centage. The 2nds won 34‐11, a great birthday present for Mrs Bylsma. Player of the week was Rachel Gentles. 

Score: KWS 2nds 34 ‐ KWS Junior As 11 

KWS 3rds vs RH Perfec�onists 

The game was going to be a hard one with RH perfec�onists on the top of the ladder. We would like to welcome 

Mandy to our team replacing Emma Rutherford who has le� for exchange. All of the girls played well given that it 

was the first game back a�er a long break. Special men�on to the girls in Defence Olivia Rowlands, Ka�e Mckenzie, 

Ashley Thompson and Annabelle Carter who turned the ball over a number of �mes. This game gave us a taste of 

what to expect in finals and hopefully will inspire the girls to play hard in the second half of the season. 

Score: KWS 3rds 22 ‐ RH Perfec�onists 30

Score: Lost 11 ‐ 34 

KWS Y12 1s Vs Robin Hood CWWD 

Trailing Robin Hood CWWD by 2 goals at half �me, the Y12#1s played excep�onally well to come back and take the 

game with a final score of 27‐23. Emma Johnson had an outstanding game, predic�ng play and direc�ng the ball to 

our shooters. Her intercepts allowed the game to slow and enabled KWS to mount a come back in the second half. 

Charlo�e Murdoch and Ali Mar�n were instrumental in defending the circle and their teamwork allowed KWS to 

gain much of the ball possession in the game. Annie Wa�, Ally Davidson and Lucy Knaggs all contributed to the final 

goal score, with par�cularly strong shoo�ng performances in the second half of the game. Excellent on court com‐ 

munica�on from Jenny Cashmere, Jess Inder, and Aimee Plant added to a strong team dynamic and the girls used 

their speed and skill to outplay their opposi�on. 

Score: KWS 27 ‐ Robin Hood 23 

KWS 4ths Vs HNC Lady Hawks 

The beau�ful Winter's day had become quite chilly by 3:45 but the 4ths were commi�ed to beginning strongly and 

keeping the pressure on early. They did this with a 17‐2 opening quarter (that lasted for 23 minutes because the 

buzzer didn't go off). A compensatory short quarter saw this lead go out to 25‐5. This week's training with the 3rds 

helped the 4ths to play a high standard with controlled a�acking play and a solid defensive effort across the whole 

court. The final score was 44‐10, our third win for the season. Well done girls. Players' player was a three‐way �e 

shared by Millie Inder (GD), Georgia Opie (WD) and Sophie Bannister‐Tyrrell (GS). 

Score: KWS 44 ‐ HNC 10 

KWS 5ths Vs OHS Rambunc�ous Yahoos 

The KWS 5 th had a spectacular game on the weekend against OHS Rambunc�ous Yahoos winning 32 ‐ 27. The girls 

started off the game on fine form; this was due to their great team work. Sophie Hardie and Nicola Harvey’s 

shoo�ng was excep�onal throughout the en�re game, as was Karli Maloney and Erin Smiths defence. The nerves 

kicked in at ¾ �me when we were only up by one point, but they all managed to calm their nerves and they finally 

came out on top, well done to all on a nail bi�ng game. 

Score: KWS 32 ‐ OHS 27 


KWS X Factor vs HNC Hawke�es 

A�er a horrendous first quarter in which we conceded 11 goals to one, the team clawed back to match the 

Hawke�es’ scoring in the last three quarters. Nevertheless, we lost the game 17‐32. 

The team, a�er their 15 minutes’ “warm‐up”, played really entertaining, fast netball and this bodes well for the end 

of the season. Always fighters, the team should be proud of their efforts to get back into the game. 

Congratula�ons to Bente Hamann, Olivia Hamblin, Anna Laurie, Elora Matheson, Stephanie Ra�ery, Clare Thomp‐ 

son and Lauryn Wilson. 

Score: KWS 17 ‐ HNC 32 

Junior Compe��on 

KWS 14AS vs Cyms Zanussi 

On Saturday, the first game for the start of the term the girls of the 14A's were very fired up for a game! Everyone 

played outstanding well with enthusiasm every quarter, pass and drive. Special men�ons to Emily Shields, Annabel 

Sheehan and Georgia Booth, who worked hard to keep the team mo�vated at all �mes. Although a loss, we were all 

very happy with the ending result. Can't wait for next games. Good luck iguanas, keep up the great work. 

Score: KWS 8 ‐ Cyms 34 

KWS 14Bs vs Hawkes 

The game was the best the girls have played all season. We were 6 all at quarter �me. Anna Price and Caitlin Bell 

worked the goal area well, driving to the post and shoo�ng accurately. Myra Lim‐Hurt, Eliza Gilbank‐Heim , Emma 

Haege and Molly Plant worked well as a group in the centre third. The girls channelled the ball superbly and used 

the court space carefully. Pesi Faiva, Olivia Wass and Rhoslyn Carney took many intercepts in the opposing goal ar‐ 

ea and were able to feed the ball back down the court to gain a large number of turnovers. This must be considered 

the Team of the week for showing such improvement in game play over the season so far. 

Score: KWS 15 ‐ Hawkes 18 

AICES Netball Cup 

Last Thursday the KWS 1sts competed in the inaugural AICES Netball Cup at Castle Hill. The girls played some good
