Reddam House choirs received some exciting news to end the year in the form of results from the National Eisteddfod. Like the Sydney Eisteddfod, submissions were filmed at the beginning of the year prior to lockdown and submitted to adjudicators in Canberra who have just managed to send us a few more trophies to add to our impressive collection.

SCIENCE The Year 7's had a really good time building parachutes and dropping them off the Art block terrace. They tested how the surface area of the parachute affected the time it took to fall being attached to a rubber duck. After they finished dropping their parachutes they used their knowledge of engineering and forces to build spaghetti and marshmallow towers. The tallest tower was a whopping 122cm. The amazing students who built it were Alex, Eva and Jasper in 7E. The Year 9 students started practicing their year 10 Science skills while completing titrations. They neutralised sodium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid. They soon realised that one drop was the difference between being neutral and acidic.

Art in Paradise 2022! Hamilton Island Art Retreat 8th April – 12th April 2022 Limited Places Available
Hamilton Island Art Retreat is an exclusive Art Retreat which is open to Elective Art students or students who are passionate about art who may not currently study art as an elective subject. Hamilton Island is one of the most magnificent destinations in Australia and Reddam House students are fortunate to be able to have the opportunity to work with the artist in residence and attend a private art lesson in the studio space on the island. The students will be involved in a range of workshops daily at different vantage points around the island such as drawing, watercolour, environmental sculptural and photography. This is an unparalleled experience to be able to create artworks in such a tropical and lush environment. Students will receive their own extensive art kit, full of materials for the trip. Students will stay in beautiful accommodation with full access to the beach and water sports. This is a must do experience for all artists!
