Reddam House High School Newsletter Volume 17 Issue 35

Friday 17th November 2017

Dear Parents & Caregivers,

Last week we said a sad farewell to one of the found-

ing teachers of Reddam Sydney, Merle Price. Merle is

retiring after sixty years of teaching History and Ancient

History. She has captivated the students in her Ancient

History Class since the school started in 2001. Many of

her past students honoured her with their presence

coming to thank her for the inspiration she has been in

their lives. There are many who have gone on to study

Ancient History at Uni, while there are others who have

become Archaeologists and History Teachers. They all

share the same story of being inspired by this remarka-

ble teacher. We wish Merle well in her retirement and

thank her for seventeen years of stimulating teaching

at Reddam.

The best speakers in Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9 battled

it out for top honours in the annual Public Speaking

Competition. The adjudicators all found the standard

exceptionally high and their decisions very difficult.

Dee and I watched the Year 7 students speeches and

I have to agree that all the topics were interesting, the

delivery superb and the engagement with the audi-

ence exceptional. Having the opportunity thereafter

to hear the winners of each section at the prize giving

allowed all in attendance to enjoy the best of the

best. Well done to Mrs. Karney and all the students

who made it through to the finals. The eventual win-

ners in each section were:

Year 7: Winner: Grant Stein with runner-up: Mia Seisun

Year 8: Winner: Daniella Christelis with runner-up: Dena

Rubinstein

Year 9: Winner: Cooper Hartman with runner-up:

Anthony Yap

The Year 9 Drama assessment evening at Bondi on

Tuesday explored the topic of Mental Health and

while the presentations were quite confronting, the

performances were exceptional. The depth of feeling

portrayed in the subject matter kept the audience

riveted.

Congratulations to Tanya & Danil Saveliev who placed

in the top 30 at the Junior Latin World Championships

in Romania. A fantastic effort.


On Wednesday the Year 12 Formal was held at the

Royal Motor Yacht Club. The Class of 2017’s final fare-

well was a wonderful testament to a group of students

who have enjoyed school and each other. The fun

and positive vibe throughout the evening was quite

wonderful to witness. This group of students have seen

the positive effect of the cohort being cohesive and

supportive of one another. Thank you to Carly Craw-

ford for her organisation of the event. The parents also

enjoyed the pre-drinks on the rooftop, an initiative that

has really taken off. A nostalgic farewell indeed.


The Middle School Examinations start today with the

students writing English and they continue next week.

I am sure that students have been preparing for these

and are looking forward to the singular focus during this

period. Year 10 students continue with their Final Exami-

nations into next week.

Students are encouraged to use all the strategies that

have been instilled in them throughout the course of

the year to maximise their performance.

Have a calm week,

Dave Pitcairn
