Dear Parents and Caregivers,

As we get into the middle of the second term, all students should get into a rhythm of preparing for their upcoming Half Yearly examinations. Students in years 7 - 9 have been given their Examination Guidebook, which has also been emailed to parents. Years 10 - 12 will receive their Exam notification two weeks before their exam as per NESA protocols. Students need to ensure that they are clear about the expectations that their teachers have of them as part of the preparation process.

In preparation for their Pre Trial Examination, Year 12 French students attended a French Study Skills Day on Saturday at Sydney University with their teacher. Mrs. Roby was impressed with her student's engagement and positive attitude towards the day. Their efforts stand them in good stead for their upcoming exams.

Jess Levi and Jess Benjamin of the Year 11 Business Studies class reported that,

“On Monday, we enjoyed going to Sweet Lily’s, a 24-year and ongoing business in the Italian Forum in Leichhardt. Lily took us through the raw struggles of operating a business and shared her mistakes and the joy and beauty of owning a business, namely, setting up two marriages. We were able to walk around the area and understand why location is so important to the success of a business. The key takeaways for us were Lily’s perseverance and the lessons she learned, especially the genuine connections she makes with customers, as well as quality management, maintaining a competitive advantage, and managing finances and pricing strategies, all current to the unit we are studying on management and the business environment. We then became chefs and waiters and were able to create our pizzas and eat Lilly’s delicious pasta and gelato, which made for an overall insightful and delicious day.”

The Year 12 PDHPE students recently visited PhysX Physiotherapists in Cromer to enhance their understanding of the Sports Medicine Unit through hands-on experiences. They observed the rehabilitation process for a hamstring injury, including force testing. They saw firsthand how physiotherapists assess muscle strength and monitor recovery progress. The excursion included a session on force plate testing, which analyzes movement mechanics by measuring ground reaction forces. This data is crucial for injury prevention and performance improvement.

Students also experienced ice baths, learning about their benefits in reducing inflammation and muscle soreness and accelerating recovery after intense exercise. Another essential activity was the R.A.M.P (Raise, Activate, Mobilize, and Potentiate) warm-up protocol. Students practiced this routine, which prepares the body for physical activity and helps prevent injuries.

The day concluded with various aerobic and anaerobic tests, including the Bronco fitness test. This test, used in rugby, measures cardiovascular endurance and gives students a taste of the fitness standards in sports.

This excursion provided Year 12 PDHPE students with practical insights and skills in sports medicine, preparing them for future careers in health, fitness, and sports industries.

Congratulations to the Year 9 Charity portfolio’s Bella Swil and Ariel Briner, who coordinated the collection of over 400kg of food items for OZ Harvest. Well done, Middle School students, for supporting this fantastic charity initiative.

The sun came out just in time for Wednesday's monthly Bondi Sound Sessions. This event has become a regular feature of the school, with students gathering during lunch to form bands and perform their covers of songs they love. It's also been great to see some solo items and students collaborating across

different year levels. The next session will be in Week 7, just before exams. Remember, you don't have to be a music student to get involved. We've enjoyed seeing new faces popping into the music rooms over the last few weeks and would love to hear from anyone who might want to get involved. If you have an idea for a song or band but need help connecting with other instrumentalists or singers, speak to Mrs. Wood, who can help.

Last week, the Reddam House Cross Country Team travelled to Homebush to compete in the CDSSA Cross Country Championships a relatively flat track led to some great racing with quick times.

Congratulations to the following students on their selection in the CDSSA Team to compete at the AICES Championships next week.

Eve Kalan, Chloe Goldin, Mimi Tolnay, Sophia Yu, Petra Saboisky, Dani Freilikn, Henri Deleclefs, Ashan Menon, Jonathan Tancred, Eric Hess, Krishna Inder, Isaac Gamertsfelder, Joshua Tancred, Aston Lake, Henry Wright, Jared Serman.

Petra Saboisky Runner Up Under 14 Girls

Henri Deleclefs Champion Under 13 Boys

Jonathan Tancred Runner Up Under 14 Boys

Aston Lake Runner Up Under 15 Boys

Reddam Netball is thriving, and Ms Squadrito reports the following:

“Last Saturday at Heffron, our netball teams demonstrated exceptional teamwork in a grueling doubleheader to compensate for the previously cancelled week. With two half games back to back, our girls rose to the occasion with remarkable determination. Their hard work at training pays dividends, as they secured an impressive 19 wins out of the total matches played.

All 13 sides displayed outstanding skill and sportsmanship as they seamlessly transitioned down the court. They took on direct feedback from their coaches to utilise these strategies to their advantage. Here's to continuing this winning momentum in the weeks ahead.

Our Year 7 girls excelled at the NGS Netball Schools Cup on Wednesday. The girls played a variety of other local schools across the whole day. Their performance consistently improved each round, demonstrating their growing confidence and combinations with one another. Each of the ten girls showcased remarkable talent on the court and great determination and sportsmanship, making Reddam House incredibly proud.”

Andre and Max Chereiski are going to France to represent Australia in the IQ WindFoil European Championship in Embrun in Early July. Having won the Nationals and Sail Sydney, Andre is the current Australian U19 title holder, with Max just a little behind.

Congratulations, boys, this is a fantastic achievement.

Have a great weekend and week ahead, Dave

Although many students apply directly to institutions for early offers, please remind them that not all institutions make early offers and not every course is available through these schemes. They should always aim for their dream course, even if it is not part of an early offer scheme.

A few things to note:

• International students will be able to apply from 17 April. They need to select 'International application' from the 'Apply or log in' drop-down on the UAC website.

• All IB students can now complete a UAC application as we have received their student data from the IBO.

• All interstate students should wait until 1 August to apply as UAC won't receive their student data until later in the year. I'll let you know if this changes.

Course preferences

While applications are open, please remind your students that not all courses are available to select within their application. However, they can still submit an application with at least one preference and then come back later to list additional courses when they become available.

Universities have until 1 August to have all 2025 courses available for selection in the application.

Starting an application: essential info

This year, students need the following details to start their UAC application:

Personal email address: For security reasons, when students start their application they will need to register with a personal email address and a password. They'll then be sent an email to validate their

details. Once they've done that, they will use their email address and password to log in to their application.

Year 12 student number and UAC PIN: NSW and ACT students – We emailed UAC PINs to NSW and ACT students on 3 April using the email addresses NESA and ACT BSSS have on file. If any students didn't receive this email, please ask them to call UAC. Also remind them to register a personal email address in their NESA Students Online account.

Interstate and IB students: These students also need to enter their Year 12 student number and UAC PIN. Their UAC PIN is their date of birth: DDMM.

Students need to enter their Year 12 student number and UAC PIN early in the application. These details identify them as a 2024 Year 12 student, which means they'll be able to apply for an early offer through the Schools Recommendation Scheme.

Unique Student Identifier (USI): At the request of institutions, this is now a mandatory field for domestic applicants who are Australian citizens. Students can quickly and easily create their USI or check if they already have one
