Category: Updates from Rose Bay Secondary College

Yesterday students helped to plant 260 new tree saplings as part of the Cooling the Schools program! Thanks to Green Australia for allowing RBSC to be involved.

Today marks the beginning of the HSC exams. Good luck to all our Year 12 students.

Twelve students across years 9, 10, and 11 completed their White Card training in the Lecture Theatre last week.

Last week Year 7 students went on an excursion to see the French film “Little Nicholas” at the Chauvel Cinema in Paddington followed by a 3-course meal at The Little Snail restaurant.

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:

• Rd 1 v Carinbah High School won 28-25 
• Rd 2 v Blakehurst High School lost 29-22
• Rd 3 v Sylvania High School won 44-20
• Semi Final v Endeavour Sports High School 60-28 

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. 

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 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 and “The Mouse in a Suit” with an absolute value function for a jacket, by Riva. Well done girls!

The talented CAPA students of RBSC strutted on stage at the Dance and Drama Night in Week 1 to celebrate their creativity and showcase their craft to an adoring audience of family and friends.  The audience was enchanted by the grace and energy of the junior and senior dance ensembles under the expert choreography of Head Teacher Ms Kelly Vine and dance extraordinaire, Mr Alexander Ku. 

Outstanding Year 11 Music Ensemble Program student, Mia, received the inaugural Lindy Morrison Young Women in Music Encouragement Award at BayFest on Sunday 16^th September. 

 

Rose Bay Secondary College hosted its third annual BayFest on the weekend with over thirty bands and music ensembles entertaining hundreds of festival goers in the plaza on Sunday. The Music Ensemble Program was excited to welcome legendary drummer and musician rights’ activist Lindy Morrison to the school. Lindy has worked with many of our students at Waverley Council’s Bondi Wave program and presented the inaugural Lindy Morrison Young Women in Music Encouragement Award to year 11 student Mia for her ‘musical skill, commitment and team work’. Congratulations Mia.
