Reddam House High School Newsletter Volume 17 Issue 34

Friday 10th November 2017

Dear Parents & Caregivers,

The HSC students have finished their examinations. A

joyous time for them and many have reported that

they are not quite sure what to do with themselves.

We see them again for their Formal next Wednesday

and invite all their parents to Pre-Formal Drinks on the

rooftop at Woollahra. Over the last few years, this has

become a tradition and gives parents, students and

teachers an opportunity to come together for photos

as well and an opportunity for a social get together

as a complete group. This is the final celebration of

the outstanding students who have been part of the

2017 Year 12 cohort. Their results come out on 14th

December and we eagerly await these.

I am very excited to confirm that the nominations for

Art Express have come in and that Reddam has 3 stu-

dents who have been nominated to be exhibited in

the 2018 exhibition. We would like to congratulate:

Indi Swinton: Drawing

Tom Howarth: Digital Media

Andre Pires: Photography

These students have received the top marks in Visual

Arts and we look forward to seeing if they are select-

ed for the exhibition. We have many incredible stu-

dents in Visual Arts this year. The criteria for getting a

nomination for Art Express is becoming even tougher

as it is not just marks based. As it is a public exhibition,

works can be deemed not suitable as they are refer-

encing contemporary practice and are too contro-

versial even though they may have received top

marks. We definitely have students in this bracket.

On Monday evening the Dance Department present-

ed ―SOAR‖ which was a celebration of passion, ambi-

tion, determination and creativity. This is the first time

we have ventured out from Adelaide Hall and the

presentation at NIDA’s Playhouse was the perfect

venue that complimented the brilliance of the dance

performances.

I think the message in the programme from Ms. Collier

Walsh sums up the philosophy of the Dance Depart-

ment. ―As 2017 draws to an end I feel proud as I reflect

on all that we have achieved this year in the High

School Dance Department. Students have danced in

musicals, competed in eisteddfods, performed in bal-

lets and completed the HSC Dance course with fly-

ing colours! Each and every student enters our studio

with a true passion and respect for the art form of

dance. They exhibit unrelenting determination to ex-

tend their skills, challenging themselves to ambitiously

set the bar high and dream big. They generously share

who they are and create without fear, bravely testing

their capabilities and potential as young artists. As you

can imagine, the Dance Studio at Reddam House is an

inspiring and vibrant place to be. Tonight's showcase

highlights the diverse talents amongst our young danc-

ers and the strong community spirit we share.‖

My thanks and congratulations to Emily Knight, Delia

Harrington and the ever effervescent Liz Collier Walsh

who have created such a vibrant dance fraternity.


On Tuesday the Sports Awards were presented to all of

our outstanding sportsmen and sportswomen. The vari-

ety of sports that students take part in and the excep-

tional levels of achievement attained always impresses

me. It is also wonderful to reward students who play

sports not offered by the school.

The highest award of Sport Honours for National repre-

sentation or winning a national championship was pre-

sented to the following students:

Nathanial Milanovic for National representation in Ice

Hockey.

Hudson Berry for being the national champion in surf

lifesaving’s beach sprints.

Nikki Collins for being part of the U12 National Water-

polo Championship gold medal winning team.

Charlie Rule for her NSW Futsal Team being the winners

of the National Championships.

Tia Hinds for being selected into the All Australian

Schools AFL Team.

Zachary Sapsford for making the Australian Maccabiah

Futsal Team, NSW Thunder Team winners Australian

Championships, MVP for NSW.

Miles Davis for representing the Australian U16 School-

boys hockey side.

Yonatan Freund for representing Australia in Karate in

the World Games.

The RHAP Awards for the performing arts was a magnif-

icent, albeit long evening celebrating the achieve-

ments of students in Dance, Drama, Art, Public Speak-

ing, Music and Chess. Once again the brilliance of the

performances on the evening which accompanied

the presentation of the awards was spell-binding. To

watch the students in the audience is often an indica-

tor of these performances. They were completely en-

gaged and appreciative of what they were seeing.

My thanks and congratulations to Dr. McGregor who

coordinated the evening and each of the depart-

ments who contributed to the success of our students

in the Visual and Performing Arts.

Adina Herz was awarded

her Honours on the even-

ing for having achieved

four full colour awards for

Dance, Drama, Music

and Academics.

Only Year 12 students re-

ceived this award at this

time. All other students in

Years 7 – 10 will receive

their Honours Awards at

the end of year Academ-

ic Prize-Giving.

Mr. Garratt has asked me to

remind parents of students

wanting to go to India with

World Challenge for next

year’s International Commu-

nity Service Project that

deposits are due by Monday.

Year 10 students start their

Yearly Examinations today and Middle School starts a

revision week next Wednesday. For those students

who find these periods exceedingly stressful Danna

Fain has been engaged to offer yoga, mindfulness

and meditation which will commence on Monday

13th November until Friday 24th November from

7:30am to 8:15am. The cost will be $10 per session.

Have a wonderful week,

Dave Pitcairn


YEAR 9 DRAMA NIGHT

TUESDAY 14TH NOVEMBER @ 6.30PM

It's been a year of leaps and bounds for the Year 9

Elective Drama students. To celebrate their many

achievements, we are presenting an evening of short

plays for family and friends that will also be the stu-

dents' last formal practical assessment for the year.

The plays all deal with the theme of mental health and

remind us that Drama can be a thought-provoking

and sensitive way to create discussion and raise

awareness surrounding important issues. The event is

free and will be in the Drama Studio at the Bondi

Campus.
