Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation support
Boys from the Junior Years will stand in solidarity with those affected by Type 1 Diabetes this Thursday afternoon from 3:30pm. We will support the JDRF as it hosts a walk in the city during the same afternoon. Thanks to the passion from our Captain Charlie Crafter, we look forward to raising much needed funds to support research into Type 1 Diabetes with the aim of making 'type one, type none' in the future. We will sell ice blocks and merchandise from JDRF to all boys on the day and then invite our Year 2-6 boys to walk two laps of the College to show their support!
Junior Campus Christmas Carols
Finally, I would like to make one final 'plug' for our annual Christmas Carols event. Given unpredictable nature of the weather at this time of the year, we have determined that we will hold this year's event in Purton Hall this Friday evening. Timing will be the same and we still expect a visit from a certain man in a red suit, however our set up will be slightly different given the indoor venue.
We encourage all families to attend and bring along a picnic to munch on and perhaps a blanket to sit on. We won't provide seating so that families can spread out and enjoy some space! I'm sure we will have many in attendance and the staff and students look forward to the event.
In the final Newsletter for 2017 I wish all members of our community a peaceful and happy Christmas period as we look forward to recharging the batteries to go again in 2018.
Kind regards,
Geoff Aufderheide

2018 Co-Curricular Forms
All boys should by now have completed a request to enter their co-curricular selections for 2018. Nominations for some teams have already been called for by the SAAS association, therefore it is important that boys who selected an activity for term 1 fulfil this commitment and make plans to acquire correct uniform and attend trainings in week 1 of next year.
If your son is returning next year and has not returned a form, I will assume that he is going to be undertaking the same activity again next year given that Rostrevor does have a compulsory co-curricular policy.
1st XI Cricket
Messenger Bowl T20
Good luck to the 1st XI side who take on Adelaide High this week in the Messenger Bowl T20 final to be played at mid-day at Adelaide High this Thursday.
The Rostrevor team have been in great form and are looking forward to testing themselves against a highly talented Adelaide High team.
1st XI debutants Max McKay and MacKenzie Heath.
Saturday Messenger Shield
Scotch College 59 all out in 30.2 overs (Joel Size 5/10, Max McKay 3/14)
Lost to Rostrevor College 1/62 in 11.1 overs (Stefan Lanzoni 46no)
This was as comprehensive as the score line suggested and all of the boys can be really proud of their efforts. With 5 players playing either their first or second game, we spoke about the importance of taking the opportunity. Many boys now have a much greater responsibility with either the bat and the ball and it was pleasing that many boys on Saturday took that opportunity.
Scotch won the toss and elected to bat, although we would have bowled first given the rain that fell on Friday afternoon. Joel Size was superb from the opening delivery and used the downhill slope to generate good speed to intimidate the Scotch batsmen. He was well supported by Riley Slack who was unlucky not to claim more than the one wicket that he did. Scotch were soon in trouble at 6/13, however a mini revival saw them reach 6/42 at the drinks break. Cameron Taheny and Ben Homan bowled economically and gave nothing away and then Max McKay on debut and Sam Rahaley bowled beautifully in tandem, which augurs well moving into next year. Joel Size returned to clean up the tail and finish with 5/10. Max McKay on debut picked up 3/14 from his 5 overs. Mackenzie Heath was excellent in the field making a difficult run out look easy and showing that he has a safe pair of hands, taking a good catch also.
In reply, we had to face a potentially tricky half an hour before the tea break. Within a matter of minutes, Stefan Lanzoni and Angus Honner were making easy work of the small total. Both boys played well square of the wicket, but Lanzoni in particular was very impressive. From batting in the lower order all term, he grabbed the opportunity to open and looked like a natural. His power hitting was immense, yet he was also able to rotate the strike to put pressure back on the fielding team. Unfortunately, we lost Honner in the chase, but Sam Rahaley offered the support to Lanzoni which got us home in just 11 overs. This gives us 2 bonus points and keeps our position on top of the Messenger Shield table as we head into the Christmas break. We can take a lot of confidence from this result and an undefeated Term 4 in the Saturday competition.
