Reddam House High School Newsletter 7 June 2024

Reddam House High School Newsletter

Volume 24, Issue 16 | 7th June 2024

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

The first week of winter was precisely that: cold and wet. Students and teachers can look forward to the long weekend of King's Birthday to pause and recalibrate as students head into Half Yearly Examinations next week. Middle school students have revision week next week, an ideal opportunity to ensure all notes, resources, and teacher expectations are understood and implemented.

Over the weekend, twenty-six students completing their Bronze Award for The Duke of Edinburgh's International program embarked on their Practice and Qualifying Adventurous Journey. These students demonstrated resilience, perseverance, leadership, and exploration in the wider environment. The terrible weather pushed them out of their comfort zones, providing them with a sense of accomplishment, self-reliance, and discovery. They should all be proud of themselves for completing the Journey in such torrential weather.

Once more, the annual Year 12 Art Showcase transformed the Bondi Campus into an Art Gallery where the forty-two Art students presented their Body of Work. Each student meticulously presented their installation, and parents, friends, past students, and aspiring Art students were welcome to view the works on Monday evening. This is the first time we have been able to use the Bondi Learning Center and the main block; the difference was remarkable. The artworks adorning the walls of the heritage-listed

Learning Center enhanced and brought the building to life. Congratulations to Amy Bambach and Laurellen Symonds for creating a safe space for the student’s creativity to thrive and flourish. The works were diverse and spectacular. The feedback external markers have given has been returned to the students, who now have the time to make the suggested adjustments to improve further. Overall, it was a fantastic night of art shared with the Reddam community.

On Monday, the sixty-three Year 11 Biology students attended a full-day excursion to Kamay Botany Bay to undertake a mandatory ecology fieldwork task. Their teachers were pleased that all the students achieved the desired outcomes of the task.

On Wednesday, the Year 10 Music students travelled to the Opera House to watch the Sydney Symphony Orchestra rehearse for an upcoming concert. It was a rare chance to see the inner workings of a large professional ensemble as they practiced their repertoire. The piece rehearsed is one students have been looking at in class, which made this event even more opportunistic as they prepare for their exams.

The Sports Portfolio at Reddam House demonstrated its commitment to community and charity by hosting a screening of the State of Origin game on Wednesday night and hosting a gold coin mufti day. The event was a resounding success, bringing over 60 attendees who gathered to enjoy the thrilling Rugby League match and a very enjoyable night (aside from the loss). Through the mufti day, the Sports Portfolio managed to raise just under $400, which will be donated to Kit Bags for Kids, a charity dedicated to providing sports equipment to underprivileged children in Australia. The funds raised will help ensure that more children have the opportunity to engage in sports, promoting physical activity and teamwork. The event as a whole provided for a very enjoyable evening as well as raising a generous donation for charity to promote sporting and physical activity in Australia.

Congratulations to Kai Johns and Sports Portfolio on their initiative and team-building opportunity.

The following students are to be congratulated on their sports achievements:

Chloe Goldin represented NSWCIS last week at the NSW All Schools Swimming Championships. Chole performed exceptionally well, finishing the 50-metre breaststroke in 6th place.

The NSWCIS Cross Country Championships were held this week on a wet track at the Sydney Equestrian Centre. Four of our team members were running, and all did exceptionally well in some robust competition.

13s Boys - Henri Delesclefs - 22nd, 3km - 11.10 14s Girls - Petra Saboisky - 29th, 4km - 16.03

16s Boys - Henry Wright - 21st, 6km - 22.58

Our best run of the day came from Aston Lake in the 15s boys 4km. Aston trains hard and has been striving to make this NSWCIS Team since Year 3. Today, he ran a fabulous race, finishing 9th with a time of 12.42 for the 4km, averaging just over 3.10 for each kilometer. He will now go on to represent NSWCIS at the NSW All Schools Cross Country. Well done, Aston. Your hard work has paid dividends.

The Anceski family, Anton and Aida of the HSC Class of 2014 and 2017, respectively, are reaching out to the wider Reddam Community for support by donating to the GoFundMe link below in the hope of returning their gravely ill family member home. Our thoughts are with the family during this difficult time.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Students interested in community service programs through Kids Giving Back can now book. Their programs are popular and fill up quickly, so they encourage students to book early.

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.

InspirationED, in partnership with Macquarie University, would like to invite your Year 11 & 12 students to participate in an upcoming live workshop titled "ACE the HSC".

This session is designed to support and enhance your student's preparation for the upcoming exams later this year and will be presented by a Senior HSC Marker and a 98 ATAR student.

Workshop Highlights:

• Exam Preparation: Learn how to work smarter and use proven learning and study techniques.

• During the Exam: Tips to maximize marks, how to effectively answer multiple choice and written response questions, and tricks to avoid errors and ‘mind blanks’ .

• Post-Exam Strategies: Using the final term wisely, maintaining motivation and focus, and applying exam feedback effectively.

Workshop Details:

• Date: July 8, 2024

• Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

• Location: Macquarie University

• Cost: FREE

Registration is essential as there are limited places available. Please click here to register your place (there are paid subject-specific workshops available too). For school group bookings, please click here to register your interest. A flyer has also been attached with all of these details.
