Year 8 students have been learning to graph lines and non-linear relationships this year. Students in 8M1 had a STEAM Art Competition where they had to create a piece of art by inputting equations, regions, and restricting domain and range on the online graphing program DESMOS. The winning submission by Emma Osmen was created using 200 circles with different radii translated around the number plane to form “The Face”. Tied in second place was “The Butterfly” with parabolic wings by Lili Lonchampt and “The Mouse in a Suit” with an absolute value function for a jacket, by Riva Burkett. Well done girls!

Well done to the 15 girls basketball team who played in a knock out tournament making the semi finals. The team played with these results:

Student coaches Kayla Pretlove, Taea Schmidtke and Mrs Flack were very proud of the team, who are majority yr 7 students. A special thanks to these coaches for their amazing job in coaching the girls. We are looking forward to this team developing their skills and representing Rose in the years to come. 

This week 3 of our students attended the UNSW GoIT Challenge Finals. Lili, Lara and Riva were one of five finalists selected out of 80 schools across Australia. They presented their project titled “Rose Bay Routes” on camera to three judges and answered their interview questions clearly and confidently.

The new senior study is fully operational! New furniture, charging stations for everything electronic, bean bags for chilling. We now have the perfect location for year 12 to study for their HSC – did you hear that kids! Over to you!

A lot of people were involved in the final product. We thank them all, staff, students and businesses. We would like to thank the Smidmore family for their wonderful donation, the SRC for theirs, and of course the P&C who supplied the money for the new furniture. Their involvement in this room and their ongoing support for the library as a whole school hub is very much appreciated by the library staff, and the broader school community. Thank you very much.

Whilst I have your attention … want to help you child with their research task but they blow you away with a pfff, what do you know? Go to our databases and impress them by finding better information than they will ever find on google. https://www.rbsclibrary.com/ The databases are under eresources – your child should know the password to get in there, if not contact us or see a prior enews where it was listed when I shouldn’t have done that … I recommend the Britannica database for years 7-10. Good hunting!

The upgraded senior study holds special significance as it has been dedicated in loving memory to Luke Smiddmore. Luke was an outstanding student who had a passion for learning and approached all areas of his life with determination and focus. 

Like all NSW public schools, this week we will receive a School Budget Allocation Report with our funding for 2019. The report will help us manage our total budget delivered through the Resource Allocation Model (RAM).

The RAM supports schools through needs-based funding to ensure a fair, efficient and transparent allocation of funds. Our school has the flexibility to make local decisions based on the specific needs of our students.

We will use our 2019 funding to support students and improve educational outcomes. The school executive will continue to work with the school community as we implement the school plan using this needs-based funding.

Learn more about the 2019 RAM funding.
