Friday 15th September 2017

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

This week is one of sad, sincere farewells. The Year 12

students have been in a turmoil of emotions as they

experienced a number of “lasts” in their time at Red-

dam. Last week of school, last formal lesson in each of

their subjects, last assembly. They bade farewell to the

school at their final assembly at Event Cinemas on

Friday. On Monday evening the School wishes them

well at their Valedictory. Such an emotional time as

the realization starts sinking in that it is actually all over,

bar the little matter of the HSC examinations, which

start in October.

The Year 11 students have also received their feedback

from their Final Examinations and have this week start-

ed their HSC courses. For some the relief of being able

to drop one subject and focus on their chosen five sub-

jects is palpable. I remind them that the expectation is

that they complete a subject change form which is

signed by the teacher of the subject being dropped

and their parents, then handed in to Mrs. Dovier.

Market Day for the Year 8 Entrepreneurship students

and Year 9 Commerce students is a highlight of the

year as it is the practical application of all that they

have learnt about running a small business.

There is always a huge amount of energy involved on

the day as the rest of the school supports their initia-

tives. It is interesting to see that the trend towards a

healthy lifestyle is reflected in in food that many stalls

had on offer. Mrs. Sahai was effervescent in her praise

of the student’s efforts and is happy that every out-

come that she had hoped would be achieved in fact

was and then some.

She mentioned that she saw some students come alive

as though running a business was what they were born

to do.

Student’s achievements on which to reflect include:

We have received 3 awards this year for the UNSW

Business and Economics awards. Having entered the

Australian Economics and Business Studies Competi-

tions both Jamie Conlon (Economics) and Lachlan

Muir (Business Studies), having done exceptionally well,

were awarded with monetary prizes at a Ceremony

at UNSW last Thursday. Congratulations to our finan-

cial and business leaders of the future.

Corey and Mitchell Ross were selected by the NRL to

be the official ball boys for the under 20's game at Alli-

anz last Sunday

The game was Sea Eagles vs Queensland Cow-

boys where Corey was in Sea Eagles colours and

Mitchell ran out in Cowboy colours. More amazing

was that the boys we able to meet the coaches and

the players of these teams at the game.

Joshua Devine competed at the Judo NSW 2017 Syd-

ney International Tournament recently held at the State

Sports Centre, Sydney Olympic Park. He competed in

both the Cadet Men and Junior Men Divisions, winning

2 out of 3 fights in the Cadet Men’s, winning the Bronze

Medal for his age and weight division. Good work

Joshua.

Enjoy the last week of Term 3. An email will be sent

home when the Term 3 reports are posted to Parent

Lounge next week.

School will close at 1:00pm on Friday.
