Reddam House High School Newsletter Volume 18 Issue 9

Friday 30th March 2018

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

I am sure this four day week is appreciated by all who

have had a busy 1st term so far. Teachers, students and

parents have been flat out and it is wonderful to be

able to press pause and enjoy the long weekend

ahead.

This has been the week of the High School musical,

Oklahoma. It played to appreciative audiences on

both Wednesday and Thursday at NIDA. The student

performances were incredible and my thanks to the

very creative Dean Hattingh for producing the show.

The music performed by the Reddam orchestra that

accompanied the performers elevated and en-

hanced the production to that of a professional show.

Congratulations and thanks to Mr Hattingh, Mrs Liz

Collier, Dr McGregor, Mr and Mrs Bortolotti and their

magnificent group of helpers for exceeding all expec-

tations with such a brilliant production. The hard work

appears to be worth it when one hears how much the

students enjoyed being part of the cast.

The culmination of the Year 10 Drama curriculum for

the term, where they were studying Children’s Theatre,

saw them performing to Year 1 and Year 2 audiences.

The Year 10s loved having them as an audience.

It is my belief that if you captivate young children’s im-

aginations with a performance then you are a great

actor. These Year 1 and Year 2’s were spell bound and

mesmerized. Well done Year 10 Drama students.


Last weekend the Rugby 10’s competition at Grammar

kicked off the winter sports season. Our U16 team did

remarkably well winning all of their games until the final.

During the day they played St Pius C and Sydney

Grammar B winning easily and then played Sydney

Grammar A team as they progressed, winning six tries

to three before facing off against St Pius A team in the

final. Our team was 3-2 down when the game was

called off due to an injury to Connor, who is today re-

covering from surgery after having broken his tibia. Well

done to the rugby boys and I wish Connor a speedy

recovery.

Congratulations to the Reddam tennis teams on their

wins in the Northern Suburbs Schools Tennis Champion-

ships. Reddam had a great season with 10 teams play-

ing each Saturday. Five of our teams made the Finals

with three of them taking out the Championships.

More student achievements this week include:

The best ever results for our students at the Rostrum

Voice of Youth Competition. All our students were well

prepared with very interesting and original speeches

and were a credit to our school. Rose Chachko and

Aiden Katz both were excellent in their respective

heats. Well done to Aidan Ruvinsky and Daniela

Christelis who were both awarded 2nd place in their

respective heats and a huge congratulations to Zoe

Gross, Emily Wang and Liam Wright who each won

their heat and now progress to the Regional Finals in

May. This is an outstanding achievement and we wish

them all the best for the next round of competition.

Alisa Tyshchenko took part in the Roberta Nutt School

Competition Under 18 Girls Foil on the weekend where

she once again won the gold medal. Congratulations

Alisa.

Joshua Devine recently

competed at the ACT In-

ternationals Judo Champi-

onships where he came

2nd, winning the Silver

medal for his age group

and weight division. This

tournament is one of the

State selection competi-

tions for the NSW State

Squad team this year.

Well done Josh.

A few weeks ago I report-

ed that Angel Cody had

her photo selected as one of the finalists in the under

18’s photography competition, Tell me Ten words (Dis

moi dix mots), organised by the Alliance Française. To-

day I am pleased to announce that at the Award cer-

emony last Thursday at the Canadian Embassy, Cody’s

work was selected as the winning entrant. She used a

photo she had taken at school and she chose the

word for ‘whisper softly’ (susurrer) and did a description

(in English) as to why her photo represented that word.


She won a $400 voucher to attend a French course at

Alliance Française and a $100 voucher for Abbey

Bookshop, plus many different chocolates. Congratula-

tions Cody, we are very proud of your achievement.

Miles Davis, as a result of his perfor-

mance in the recent U18 Hockey

Nationals, was selected in the Aus-

tralian Team to play in the Youth

Olympics Qualifying Tournament.

This will be held in Port Moresby in

the April holidays, with the aim of

the team qualifying for the Youth

Olympics to be held in Buenos Aires,

Argentina in October this year.

Interestingly the format for the

Youth Olympics is 5 a-side hockey,

which means they have only select-

ed 9 players from all over Australia

with players eligible up to and including 18 years of

age (although Miles is still 16!) He was also selected in

the U21 NSW squad. This is on top of his already an-

nounced U16 Tour to South Africa with the Australian

Schoolboys Hockey team. Miles will be doing a lot of

travelling this year to play hockey. Congratulations

Miles.

I wish all our Jewish families Chag Sameach and our

Christian families a very Happy Easter. I hope all Red-

dam families have a lovely long weekend that is filled

with love and happiness.

Have a good week,

Dave Pitcairn

YEAR 11 VISUAL ART

Year 11 have continued their investigation of functional

vs non-functional objects with the idea of ‘ready-

made’ and found objects coming together in a new

context to create new meanings. The students have

recontextualised everyday objects in the attempt to rid

them of their original function, thus labelling them “out

of order”.
