Dear Parents and Caregivers, While winter has definitely made its presence felt this week, it has been so amazing to have the community back on the school site for two really special events. The first, the HSC Art Showcase at the Bondi Campus on Monday night. I would imagine at least 500 parents, past students, friends and family members of the forty four Year 12 students who transformed the Bondi Campus into an Art Gallery enjoyed the creativity of our students on display. The examiners who marked the students works prior to the exhibition were blown away and the marks with which they rewarded each student reflect that. We have never before had a cohort who have performed to such a high level across the board. Images start page 4. As I said on the evening the diversity of styles, concepts, phenomenally high standard that the students achieve is the culmination of at least seven years where they have been nurtured in an environment where enjoying the process of art making is the most important factor of creativity. With that philosophy, the end result looks after itself. My thanks to all the Art teachers at the school for cultivating this environment and especially to our two Year 12 teachers Amy Bambach and Laurellen Symonds. Secondly, the Finals of the Instrumental Competition held on Wednesday evening. The 45 students performed to an audience who filled Adelaide Hall. This was a wonderful celebration of the talent and variety within our music programme, and we congratulate all of the students for

their wonderful preparation and performances. Our adjudicator for the evening was acclaimed pianist and conductor Paul Fitzsimon, who commented on how important live performance opportunities were for devel-oping young musicians, and also how difficult it was to select winners amongst such talent. Thank you to Maya Bienstock and Jasmine Cohen for acting as hosts, and William Maccormick (backstage crew), as well as all members of the Reddam House String Orchestra for their performance. Congratulations to all 270 students who entered the competition and applaud the eventual win-ners. Thank you to all the Music Tutors and teachers for preparing and motivating the students to reach such a high level of performance. The results are included on page 8.
