We were extremely pleased with the 2018 HSC Results as reported last year and this Friday we will be celebrating the achievements of our Top Achievers in a special assembly. The students will share some of their journey with the current Year 12 cohort who are already well into their final year.
We were thrilled for Michael Ruhs in Year 11 who led Australia as Captain of the Under 16’s Schoolboys Football Team to Europe over the break. Congratulations to Michael – you can read more about his achievements in this edition.
It’s been exciting to see the new Rawdon Middleton Centre being used for outside sporting events over the holidays and weekends, including the State Futsal Finals recently. This facility is proving to be a great place for community engagement. Mr. Sonny Makko has been looking after these events and we look forward to seeing more over the course of the year. Our Dance Program and Basketball Academy both begin today and the response has been very encouraging.
We trust you have been engaging with our Facebook site and enjoying the videos and news items uploaded to the site. This is a great way to showcase the College. Please feel free to share the posts with your friends. We have our Open Day coming up on Friday 1 March and it would be great to welcome people to see how the College works every day.
‘Movies Under the Stars’ will be held once again on Friday 22 March. This is a great event with lots of families in attendance. The movie title will be announced very soon. Why not mark the date in your diary and come with the whole family?
Last week was Camp Week in the Senior School from Monday to Wednesday. Camps were held in 5 different locations, and Year 12 students visited the University of Wollongong. It’s always a good time for students to get to know others in their year, along with their teachers. Thank you to all the teachers who accompanied the students. The fish were biting too at the Year 7 Camp!
Tomorrow night, Tuesday 12 February, is the first of our Junior School Information Evenings with next Wednesday 20 February also scheduled. This is an important time to meet teachers to discuss the year ahead for your children. We will be holding the first of our Class Parents Meeting in the next few weeks so let me encourage you to also think about joining this active network. It’s a great way to meet others in the College community and provides opportunities to contribute to the programs here at the College.
We are all looking forward to a great year ahead. Thanks for your support in anticipation.
