SBHS Class Of 2020

Jackson Gan

Scoring the winning runs at the Five High’s tournament in Adelaide.

James Huang

Every time someone said something funny, because the more I smile the
less I see.

Jarrod Khaw

Freedom is the freedom to say sailing is a better sport than rowing. If 51
that is granted, all else follows

My favourite experience at
High has got to be when

Ms Manolios said that
“Size matters”. The whole
class literally erupted in
laughter. A memory that’ll
stick for quite a while. :D

JASON LUO

It was a privilege to
participate in the ANZAC

Day March every year.

JENS MICHAEL

Despite a short 2 years
at High, it was the boys
and the culture that made
these years so great and
so memorable and I want
to thank everyone who
were apart of my journey.

JOHN LUO

“Our time together as the
year of 2020 will forever
remain within our memories,
throughout all our hardship
and pushing each other
past our boundaries we
have come far and embod-
ied the High Spirit through

everything we do.
“”With efforts none the less
sincere, we’ll overcome the

year by year”””

“””You haven’t heard of
Manly Spirits?””, “”Bloody
white people””, “”It counts
as a f**cking threesome””,
“”Surfing!””, “”I can’t believe

you just did that!””.
“”Never forget what you are.
The rest of the world will not.

Wear it like armour, and it
can never be used to hurt
you.”” - Tyrion Lannister”

jORDAN WHITTAKER 53

JOSEPH SHAO

Getting held back every assembly

JOSHUA JOHNSON

All skitz class times

JOSHUA LAM

The first prefect meeting in 2019 was my favourite experience. The at-
mosphere of absolute pride and joy was the best thing that had ever
54 happened.

JOSHUA ZHANG

I’ve had this question asked about me: ‘Where’d Larry come from?’
It just happened. That’s it.
Anyway, good luck to you all, and best wishes for your futures!
JK, I won’t blue ball ya.
It was during 13s basketball. The 13C’s had two Joshs > caused confusion when
the name was called > searched for a solution > Larry was the conclusion.

JOSHUA ZHAO

JK, I won’t blue ball ya.

The past six years have flown and countless stories have been writ-
ten. My favourite story will forever be just the simple banter that just
happened everywhere whether it be in or out the school

JULIAN ALCORN

Sailing is the one activity I stuck with for all 6 years of school, and nothing comes 55
close to the comradery I experienced on and off the water. I joined school not
knowing anything about sailing, but I leave with a skill and hobby for life.

One of my favourite experiences
at High was the Year 9 and 10
outdoor education camps and
the Silver qualifying hike, being
out in the woods with my mates
and exploring the Australian
outdoors. I also especially
enjoyed all my history classes
from Year 9 onwards.

justin wayne-lowe

Maybe grad night, but tbh
too many. Honestly I’m

gonna have a fuckin hard time
topping these memories for
the rest of my life. Hopefully
my future self looks back on
this with a smile knowing I
topped it. To anyone else’s
future self reading this, iykyk

56 KEENEN ROSHAN

KELVIN MENG Among many incredible experiences
at High, one of them was rowing
with the boys in the Year 10 1st
VII at the 2018 AAGPS Head of the
River. It didn’t matter that we were
coming last, we had a camaraderie
among of eight other members of

the crew and the trust that each one
of us was putting all that we had.

Beyond the pain was the euphoria of
representing High with eight other
mates that I had spent the past six
months training with. From the 5:00
AM sessions to overnight camps,
the sheds became my second home.
No matter how much training we
put in, this experience would not
have been this phenomenal without
our coach, Terry Fong, and all the
parents, teachers and students who
supported us at Head of the River.

I remember finishing Head of The River in 2018. Nothing will beat that
experience of an all-out effort on one of the most perfect days of the
year.

Kevin Tong

The only thing I can remember is sleeping in 80% of all of my classes
back in year 10. I miss those simpler times...
58

Kevin Tran

Favourite experiences have got to be the camps. From Year 7 to 10 Camps, Cadet Camps, Overnight
Hikes and History Camp, all the best banter and sktiz comes out of the boys. Top 10 WatchMojo camp-
ing moments include; brown snake, fight club, broken TV, day 2, Charlie no. 1, Mango Loco Monster, lost

selfies and the twenty first night of September. IYKYK

Khalil Youssef

“Grad Day and Seshtennial were moments that I know I will cherish for the rest of my
life. It was the moment that made me truly appreciate the boys I’ve spent the last 6yrs
with. From Alex’s fkn speech that would’ve made me cry if he just stopped laughing to
teaching my son Ramon a lesson or two while absolutely hammered or our last mo-
ments in 801 (hehehe iykyk), Grad Day was one that’ll stick with me for a while I reckon.

Kieran Guan

Thank you to everyone for making
the past six years so great. Thanks
for the banterous science lessons.
Thanks for sending me the home-
work the morning its due. Thanks
for the friendships and the inside
jokes. Thanks for the camaraderie

during early morning class and
late training sessions. Thanks for
cheering in the stands at the GPS
swimming finals. Thanks for the
memories that I will never forget.

From the USA basketball tour in 2018
to being a part of the prefect cohort
and serving the school with the boys
and being a leader at ISCF, there are
just too many experiences to name as
a single favourite. However, there is
one common denominator in all three
of these, the boys. This cohort has
really provided me a second family, cli-
chè aside, the ups and downs I’ve had
with everyone of this cohort has really
shaped me to push myself and become
better, and I mean this from the bot-
tom of my heart, there is no one else I

would’ve rather grown up with.

Mathew Shuman

I destroyed Eric Cao in an
unofficial rap battle

Matius Posumah

Honestly, my favourite
experience is seeing all the

boys suffer during ex-
ams and early mornings...

realising we’re all fked
together.

Matt Young 61

Matthew Bui

I walked to school from Bankstown with the bois 2nd last day. We racked
a scooter and screamed in white neighbourhoods at 6am.

Matthew He

My favourite experience at High is basketball and football with the boys.
Sport, although I was never good at it, was a truly amazing experience
that yielded everlasting memories and will forever shape my character
and identity.

Matthew Pellen

Pretty solid 6 years. Shame I peaked in year 7.
62

Max Xie

My favourite experience at High was growing up with a great cohort of
boys, getting through ups and downs in life with them and learning with
them.

Melvin Chan

Basketball

Menuja Goonaratne

One of my favourite experiences during high school was getting a buzz cut with 63
none other than man like Kaeshikan Raviraj and then getting elbowed in the
face a week later and having a black eye for 2 months. Looked like a straight
gangsta but still got memed anyways, it is what isss

Tft at the library every
thursday and bullying
marko for having no arm-

pit hair. :D

Michael Gao

Despite being such an academ-
ically rigorous school, High’s
culture and variety of activities
being offered, has made these

past six years much more bear-
able and interesting. Being a

part of many sports and societ-
ies and creating new bonds and

different memories, has really
made the time here at High so

special.

Minh Nguyen

Making stir fry in a wok
at year 10 camp. The

portions were too small
though.

Mitchell Liu

64

As I leave Sydney High, I am
forever grateful to the school
for moulding me into the per-
son I am today. I have forged
strong friendships with many

great people here, and my
experiences at High, especially
those of shooting buckets on
the basketball court or stepping
onto the football pitch with my
teammates are memories I will

always cherish.

Mridul Pant

My most memorable
experience was getting
flashed by Varun Prem
and Daniel Coan within
the space of a minute at
year 9 camp. I am now

scarred for life.

Mukund Rangarajan

My favourite experience can not
be pinpointed to any specific
memories but the whole pro-
cess in general. To me, Sydney
High was a great roller coaster,

and I am glad I got to share this
ride with great people and came

out at the end in one piece.

Nabhan Hassan 65

Nathan Chan

A traitor and a spy from Sydney Technical High School that joined High in Year
9. This creature cannot be trusted and is deemed the lowest of the low by his
friends and classmates alike. #TechPrideWorldWide; TLDR: I have no rights

Nathan Cockrane

We are humans. We hold the strengths and weaknesses of “imperfection:” The dangerous power
of the “unique.” We have another cycle; When faced with adversity, we: Improvise, Adapt, Over-
come, Repeat. We need to keep moving forward, even when we can’t keep going, not because

Death id biting at our heels but because Life is dragging us along anyway.

Nelson Zhai

Favourite experience was the 2-day Canberra history excursion at the
beginning of Year 9. All the camps, even when it was uncomfortable or
66 tiring, were still unforgettable experiences.

Nicholas Yuen

The feeling of brotherhood and friendship from everyone in the year was the best experience
from my time at High. I was able to develop and change myself through the time I spent

with my friends at this school allowing me to become an almost completely different person.
Someone who now is stronger and resilient.

Nicolas Palmer

At High, I’ve been lucky enough to participate in a range of activities that pushed me out of my
comfort zone and shaped who I am today. By far my favourite experience at High was being a
member of the school Sailing team. Being able to train and race on Sydney harbour was an amaz-
ing and unforgettable experience- one that taught me teamwork, diligence and persistence.

Noah Robertson

Best memory is not remembering TAS... twice :))

67

The collective human experienc-
es shared with the boys, taking a
shit in Kurt’s toilet, playing 2v2s

at recess, making Shanaan cry,
forcing teachers to take Valli-
um, the locally iconic shouting
of Gubb, Khalil vs Will Kim, the
actual lockdown in Yr 7, Vin-
nie getting water taxed, all the
rap battles we’ve done, getting
cucked from prefect, winning GPS

and CHS and Nationals

Oliver Yang

Time flies and it’s already been
six years. There were countless
hardships, but there were also
innumerable experiences that
made it worth it to overcome
those obstacles. Every Saturday,
being able to play sports with the
boys, developing our teamwork
and deepening our friendships

was a blessing.

Oscar Lam

My favourite experience
was the graduation week
at High. Being swept up by
the camaraderie formed
throughout these 6 years
has left me with memories

that I can never forget.

Owen Zhang

68

bringing soccer boots to a
tennis court

Patrick Liang

Nothing compares to the re-
cess and lunches in our junior
years; playing handball in the
quad, shouting ‘replay’ for our
friends and yelling so passion-
ately for someone we hated

that day to get out. To go
back to the days when what
we did at recess and lunch

was our biggest priority!

Prathik Subbanna

The best memories I’ve made
at High have come from

the unforgettable moments
I’ve shared with my closest
friends. I can always recall
the collective ecstasy of cele-
brating hard-earned victories
on the sports field or simply

having a good time with
mates in class and during

lunch breaks

Ritchie ah-koon

During my time at High, the academic achievements have been cool, but 71
the real treasure has to be all of the friends that I’ve made along the way.
The only thing that gets me hard, the only thing that can gobble me,
swallow me and drip down the side of me would have to be... the boys.
Cheering while I’m on the basketball court, down the bench in a debate
or in the stands is what I’ll remember most. In all seriousness, singing the
school song arm-in-arm really is the dopest shit ever. To mandem read-
ing this: thanks for everything over the years

I’m gonna miss the lunch
volleyball and basketball
with the boys at lunch. I
will vividly remember the
trips to the canteen with
the boys. It was fun while
it lasted. Thanks for the

memories.

Robert Chan

My favourite experience at
High was making friends and
interacting with my peers, i
have many wonderful memo-
ries to cherish and remember

for the rest of my life.

Roy Lin

My favourite experience
was the ISCF Christian
group every Friday lunch,
catching up with the boys
over some good food and
chatting about the Bible

sam colgan

72

samuel lee Honestly, the past 6 years
sean montalbo have been filled with good
memories and good people. I
couldn’t have picked a bet-
ter school, the sporting and
academic culture here is such
a good environment for high
school: from the friends we
make in the 13Cs basketball

team to the
physics and chemistry teach-
ers who’ve helped us achieve
our goals in avoiding diary

club. I still remember the
sweaty PE classes in my junior

years to the sweaty maths
grind at 1am before the 2U

HSC.
Probably seshtennial HA-
HAHAHA, but honestly, all
the daily skitz and memo-
ries have made my experi-
ence at High one I’ll never
forget. I still can’t get over
the fact that we’ve finally

graduated, but as the
saying goes, time flies
when you’re having fun.
Best of luck to everyone
in their future endeavours,
gonna miss you all x

Honestly, nothing beats
the mateship at High,
whether in class, at the
tables or even on the
basketball court.

steven meng

The Duke of Ed hike in Year 10 spread over 5 long but exciting days. The
countless rowing camps filled with interesting experiences.

Subhash Velliangiri

My favourite experience at High was the 2019 Athletics Carnival. I partic-
ipated in some events and also played poker with my friends. We es-
74 caped around 12 and went to the movies to watch Avengers: Endgame.

Suvipra Vaidya

its been an absolute fuckin blast with all the boys at high <3 its an experience
that has culminated over the past 6 years and its truly invaluable! Like genu-
inely there’s nothing i would trade for the past 6 years with you boys, in and
out of the classroom, on and off the rugby field, in and out of the rowing boat
and debates! We truly are the brothers in brown and blue and i look forward
to seeing all of us progress into the next stages of our lives! love ya bois

taha inam

Some people will ask you what your greatest achievement in life is. So
far, I’d say polluting MPW would be up there. Along with messing up
classrooms during lunch and getting kicked out of both library’s almost
everyday.

To ask a favourite moment of
High is like to ask for the favourite

second of your favourite movie.
There was none, because every
second was my favourite, it was
an accumulation of memories and
emotions that words can’t even
describe. These has been the best
years of my life and I would do
anything to crack my back on the

chair with the boys again!

Terry zhai

Being cheered on in GPS
Swimming and coming
last every time, and hear-
ing intermediate concert

band tune.

Theodore qian

My favourite experience is
probably my time playing
volleyball and basketball
with the boys at lunch. I

love bouncing the balls
down and roofing people
that don’t know how to
play. Dynamic lunch time

Tim liao

Honestly, it’s been a long six years
at high, my year 7 self will have no
clue how much will happen in the

next six years. With the ups and
downs throughout my time, I was
grateful for all the opportunities
and experiences that were available
to us, from competing in the Head
of the River to visiting on the USA
Tech Tour to NCSS to organising
TEDx to Jollie’s 801 to formal/social
to the last week of school as muck
up week. Many unforgettable ex-
periences, both good and bad have
made me the person I am today.

Timmy huang

My favourite experience at
Sydney High was meeting
new people, and building
new memories with them.
The last 6 years have be-
come far more bearable

because of the connec-
tions that we have forged

and the trials we have
endured together.

Dearest memories: Joining the Sabre branch of Sydney High’s fencing
program. Better yet, joining the unofficial cripple gang for a short while

strangely, the banter gets better away from the action.

varun rana

My favourite experience is everything because everything shapes us to
make us who we are and I am happy with who I am mate.
Fken jks lol, no filter durries ‘n’ baccy cones.

vikas bolisetty

My favourite experiences are usually when I am with the boys at large events. Whether in the 79
stands or on the field, the chanting, the heart and genuine camaraderie amongst the school is
incredible. For me, winning gold in the U14 4x100m relay at the AAGPS athletics carnival with
all the boys cheering the team on is certainly the highlight of my time at High.

Playing sport at school was my
favourite experience at High.
The time spent every week
playing sports I love with the
boys that I love, made my life
at High unforgettable. On top
of this representing the school
in Seconds Basketball and Firsts
Rugby as the waterboy for the
vast majority of the season, was
a great honour and will be for-
ever cherished as some of the
greatest moments of my life.

vincent doraghy

In Year 10 English class
when the whole class put
on dogwhistle and Jack-
son kept complaining and
screaming so he left the
class and Ceridwen Lee
confiscated all 29 phones

and like 10 laptops.

vincent le

High vs Newington. 2017. Playing
for the Joseph Coates cup in the
second game of the GPS 1st XI
Cricket season was undoubtedly
my favourite experience at High.
Winning the game of the second
last ball after an entire day toiling
in the field is what made this day
unforgettable. The sheer exuber-
ance amongst the boys after the
ump raised his finger in the last
over of the day really summed

up the Sydney High experience.

William Winter

Being a part of the Equality Committee at the school was one of my favourite aspects of my
time at High. Over the six years I helped to foster this niche in the school where members
could be who they were without fear of judgement. Everywhere else in the school I was awk-
ward and never truly gelled with any clique, but the Equality Committee was where I felt the

most at home. Also, any time I was with Will Chen, Will Chen (love the trifecta) or Nick!

Winston Wang

Moments at the rowing sheds when all the boys were just chilling, enjoying
each other’s company, and dreading the sessions to come. Forming new friends

and watching them grow alongside you, each achieving their individual suc-
cesses and developing far from when you first met.

Xenos He

Lunch times and free periods with the boys, chicken wings and pides,
82 leaving school early on thursdays, high spirit during GPS events.

Xi Liu

Hanging out, bantering with the boys and enjoying each other’s compa-
ny. All the training together, classes together and the lunchtimes togeth-

er really made my time at High unforgettable.

Yishan Shen

What was my favourite experience at High? To be honest, I don’t know. There’s just
been so many good f*cken times that I cherish and amazing people that I love. Of
course, there have been the absolute sh*t experiences too, but from those we learn
and grow as people. These past 6 years have taught me so much about life in gen-
eral and I truly appreciate the mates I’ve made and the things we went through.
