The past few weeks have really been focused on revision, common<br />
tests and exams which are now behind us. Our Year10 students<br />
will be undertaking work experience during the last week of term.<br />
The coming holiday break is an opportune time for students to<br />
recharge the batteries and to set goals for the second half of the<br />
year.<br />
The term concludes at 2.30pm on Friday June 29 and Term 3<br />
commences on Monday July 16. Reports for Years 11 & 12 will be<br />
distributed next week and Years 7-10 at the end of the first week of<br />
term three.<br />
Last week two Keith Hollingsworth scholarships from the Maroondah<br />
Daylight Lodge were presented to both a Year 9 and Year 10<br />
student- Chantal and Freya in recognition of their achievement,<br />
effort and involvement at <strong>Ringwood</strong> <strong>Secondary</strong> <strong>College</strong>. The scholarships<br />
valued at $250 each are named after Keith Hollingsworth<br />
who had an extensive involvement in education in the <strong>Ringwood</strong><br />
area. His granddaughter Roxanne Funston was a very successful<br />
student here and hence the reason the scholarships have been<br />
directed here.<br />
Bright and early on Thursday morning we held our Sporting Hall of<br />
Fame breakfast. This year’s inductees were former students Natalie<br />
Yates and Michelle Waterson. Both young women have competed<br />
successfully at multiple Australian and World Championships in<br />
the sport of Cheerleading. A combination of Aerobics, Gymnastics<br />
and Dance, this high-energy sport has experienced rapid growth<br />
over the past five years.<br />
Our guest speaker was Monette Russo a former Olympic gymnast.<br />
Her Career highlights included: Australian Junior Gymnast<br />
of the Year 2003; finalist for Australian Female athlete of the year<br />
2005;Australian Gymnast of the year 2005; first ever Australian<br />
gymnast to win an individual World Championship medal,<br />
when she placed 3rd in the all around at the 2005 world champs;<br />
member of the first Australian team to win a team medal at World<br />
Champs, winning a bronze in 2003; won team gold at the 2006<br />
Commonwealth games and an individual bronze on the bars.<br />
It was a beaut morning and it was great to share with many current<br />
students, heritage group members, parents, staff and other<br />
members of the Sporting Hall of Fame.<br />
There is currently a big push to encourage the Federal government<br />
to introduce legislation into parliament to enable the recommendations<br />
of the Gonski report for better funding of public<br />
education to be implemented as soon as possible. In terms of<br />
<strong>Ringwood</strong> <strong>Secondary</strong> <strong>College</strong>, it would mean at least $600,000 additional<br />
recurrent funding per annum if fully implemented using<br />
2009 figures.<br />

VCE EXAMINATIONS<br />
Finally, I am pleased to announce that Zoe Blain our college dux<br />
from 2011 will next week receive a VCE Premiers Award for being<br />
one of the top 5 students in the state for Media.<br />
Michael Phillips<br />
Principal<br />
From Mr Salisbury ..<br />
The reporting season is in full swing and well done to those students<br />
who met the large number of deadlines this time of year<br />
brings and prepared diligently for assessment tasks. As is often<br />
said around the <strong>College</strong>, “You’ll get what you deserve!”<br />
The feedback from our external supervising team was that all our<br />
students conducted themselves with maturity, engagement and<br />
a real appreciation for the sense of occasion. Please congratulate<br />
your sons/daughters for their efforts during this busy time. Further,<br />
teachers have spent many hours preparing the examinations,<br />
marking of same and providing feedback for all their classes. Their<br />
hard work and dedication cannot be underestimated.<br />
VCE mid year results are due for release on Monday, 6th of August.<br />
Students that sat Psychology, Accounting, Physics, Biology and<br />
Chemistry will have their results released to them in a sealed envelope,<br />
respecting the confidentiality of this process.<br />
Some other points:<br />
• Year 9 Community Service-Well done to our Year 9 students who<br />
have recently completed community service projects around the<br />
school. It’s a great part of the Challenge program, creating ownership<br />
and pride in our school environment. This year every student<br />
planted a small flowering plant and the additional colour around<br />
the school looks fantastic.<br />
• Traffic report-Please encourage your children to be careful if<br />
crossing Bedford Rd, particularly if they use the traffic island east<br />
of the railway line. On several occasions it has been over-crowded<br />
and groups of students are spilling dangerously onto Bedford Rd<br />
in front of cars. Thank you to the many parents who are parking<br />
a little distance away from the <strong>College</strong> to facilitate traffic management<br />
before and after school. We encourage more parents to<br />
utilise this practice.<br />
• Facilities report: Currently we are improving the Drama room<br />
(403) to provide a more user- friendly space. New blinds, curtains,<br />
much needed carpentry and painting will hopefully transform<br />
this old space into a dynamic Performing Arts space. Similarly, the<br />
library will have new tables and additional computers, providing<br />
improved resources for students.<br />
Mr C. Salisbury<br />
Assistant Principal<br />
From Mrs Hughes ..<br />

Mrs . J Hughes<br />
Assistant Principal<br />
As the term break approaches, VCE students are reminded to maintain<br />
their study habits over the two weeks that they’re not required<br />
for formal classes. The advice is to keep working on assignments,<br />
SATs, SACs, folios, revision and preparation – of course, there is also<br />
a need to rest and recharge and sensible, personal management is<br />
required.<br />
Mr J. Barut<br />
Assistant Principal<br />
From Mrs McGoldrick..<br />
We are approaching the finishing line of a long and busy term that<br />
has had a strong focus on student achievement through regular<br />
subject assessment tasks, NAPLAN testing, Common Tests and Semester<br />
1 reports.<br />
The Junior School team would like to congratulate the majority of<br />
Year 7 and 8 students who have been trying to do their best in all<br />
facets of school life. Semester 1 reports is one way that students<br />
show a commitment to their learning and excellence in this area<br />
will be acknowledged in early Term 3.<br />
Students also show their commitment to our <strong>College</strong> wide values<br />
through actions that display respect for self, others and the environment.<br />
To acknowledge these positive<br />
behaviours, the Junior School introduced<br />
a Community based competition<br />
that encompassed three areas<br />
– wearing of correct school uniform,<br />
‘Random Act of Kindness’ awards and<br />
‘Inspirational Speeches’. Form captains<br />
were invited to determine the<br />
activity for the winning Year 7 and 8<br />
communities and this event will occur<br />
in Week 11. To date we have the<br />
following community totals showing<br />
that it is a close contest with less than two weeks to go.<br />
• Mr Kent’s community (7A, 7C and 7G) – 226 points<br />
• Mr Tucker’s community (7B, 7E and 7F) – 231 points<br />
• Mrs Keenan’s community (7D, 7H and 7I) – 227 points<br />
• Mr Hugh’s community (8B, 8H and 8E) – 232 points<br />
• Mrs Capelli’s community (8A, 8G and 8I) – 227 points<br />
Page 3
<strong>News</strong>letter Number 7 June 22, 2012<br />
• Mr McKay’s community (8C, 8D and 8F) – 244 points<br />
Congratulations to Michael Owen, Kira Coghlan and Kaylah Tobias<br />
who earned 5 community points by giving a speech about an inspirational<br />
person at a combined Junior assembly. In addition, other<br />
students have been awarded community points by showing ‘Random<br />
Acts of Kindness’ towards both their peers and teachers.<br />
The Community competition will continue in Semester 2 to encourage<br />
cooperative and thoughtful behaviour within our college environment.<br />
To foster empathy and respect<br />
for people from other<br />
cultures and backgrounds,<br />
a special assembly for Year<br />
7 and 8 students has been<br />
organised for Monday June<br />
25th from 9.00 – 9.30am.<br />
Students will listen to the<br />
journey of refugee people<br />
who have come to Australia –<br />
which should be an enlightening<br />
experience for most.<br />
Parents are most welcome<br />
to attend this event. Please<br />
phone the general office if<br />
you would like to attend.<br />
Report From <strong>College</strong> Council<br />
Many items of interest were discussed at the most recent meeting<br />
of <strong>College</strong> Council. Here are just a few examples:<br />
• Progress Report of the Annual Implementation Plan – it was pleasing<br />
to see exactly how much work is being done by college teaching<br />
staff on the Key Improvement Strategies that form the AIP. Some<br />
examples of action items discussed were: Development of a whole<br />
school plan for improvement in the Literacy and Numeracy skills<br />
of students, Preparation for the implementation of the Australian<br />
Curriculum, Improve student attendance, Continue to improve the<br />
<strong>College</strong>’s careers program and build the capacity of teachers to improve<br />
student outcomes.<br />
• <strong>RSC</strong> is once again shown to be a college of choice for many families<br />
with a high number of applications for entry into Year 7 in 2013<br />
similar to previous years.<br />
• The Facilities Committee has numerous projects underway at<br />
present – Improvements to library facilities, planning for the construction<br />
of a Technology Room and a Disability Facility, improvements<br />
in the Drama Room, general garden improvements via the<br />
Year 9 Environment Program. We are very fortunate to have such an<br />
active committee which constantly strives to improve the buildings<br />
and grounds.<br />
For parents of Year 7 students,<br />
Trudy Brentnall has organised iPad workshops during June,<br />
August and September. The brochure is attached to the newsletter.<br />
A copy of the brochure and payment information has also been<br />
emailed via our parent distribution lists. Copies are also available<br />
from the General Office or email Trudy Brentnall at Brentnall.<br />
Trudy.J@edumail.vic.gov.au<br />
The Junior School team would like to wish <strong>College</strong> community<br />
members a relaxing and safe holiday.<br />

Chaplain Report<br />
Well, winter is here and it’s time to fire up the heater, find the rain<br />
jackets, make sure the umbrella is still working and pull out the ugg<br />
boots. I can never get used to the cold snap. It always catches me<br />
off guard. I reckon one of the hardest things to do when it’s cold<br />
is get out of bed, you just want to roll over and catch a few extra<br />
minutes of sleep. But despite all the coldness there can be something<br />
very special about winter. Winter can force us to stay inside<br />
at times.<br />
Despite the fact that it stops us getting on<br />
top of things like the garden or the washing<br />
it can keep us inside with our family. So<br />
take the time to make the most out of the<br />
wintery months because before you know<br />
it spring time will be here once again<br />
Adam Bryant<br />
• A great response to the performance by 37 members of the 2012<br />
<strong>RSC</strong> Production “Sweet Charity” Cast at the Life Education Gala last<br />
Saturday evening. The students did an amazing job and were a<br />
credit to themselves, their families and the <strong>College</strong> community.<br />
• The RTTF (<strong>Ringwood</strong> Trade Training Facility) Steering Committee is<br />
working towards ensuring that this facility can continue to develop<br />
programs and opportunities for students wishing to participate<br />
in trade training. The current situation with reduced Government<br />
funding for TAFE Institutions is likely to have some positive outcomes<br />
for the RTTF.<br />

Duke of Edinburgh – Gembrook Camp<br />
7th – 8th June<br />
Below are some highlights from the recent year 9 Duke of Edinburgh<br />
camp that was held at Gilwell Park in Gembrook. Activities<br />
included abseiling, initiatives, open camp fire cooking, trivia and a<br />
commando course.<br />
Kimberley Hall<br />
Overall cooking on the fires was a success but the nutrition lacked a<br />
little bit. It also depends on your<br />
fire because some people didn’t<br />
have enough hot coals to cook<br />
on so it took longer. Most of the<br />
groups had healthy meals but<br />
for breakfast there was a lot of<br />
bacon going around.<br />
Isabella and Sienna<br />

The initiative course was a series of physical challenges, such as ropes,<br />
giant see-saw, Tarzan rope and jumping boxes, we needed to work as a<br />
team to complete each challenge as a group. In our group many of us<br />
slipped and face planted, but we had good teamwork and we finished<br />
the course in great timing. The challenges improved our teamwork and<br />
leadership skills and we had fun and enjoyed it.<br />
Jasmine and Jemmimah<br />
The bus ride home consisted of passing around left over food and a<br />
tone deaf choir, accompanied by some sick tunes on the guitar. Brooksy<br />
showed some serious vocal talent and Darcy performed every singalong<br />
song you could think of.<br />
Darcy and Courtney<br />
The commando course was a massive and intense 1 kilometre course<br />
that tested your teamwork skills with a monkey bar set and a cement<br />
tunnel that you needed to climb up, it also tested your agility and<br />
flexibility and how well you can deal with smelly water. The hardest<br />
obstacle was the straddle where you had to straddle a pole and slide<br />
uphill on it without touching the ground, the easiest was the running<br />
through the tyres where you had to put your feet in each tyre, the grossest<br />
one was crawling trough waist deep muddy, smelly water under a<br />
cage dodging submerged tyres but it was a fun activity that was worth<br />
doing!<br />
Emma<br />
The camp was not all about<br />
building fires and crawling<br />
through muddy, mesh cages<br />
on a commando course. We all<br />
participated in a trivia night<br />
and games in which everyone<br />
was involved. The tasks ranged<br />
from naming songs and artists,<br />
to shoving as many lollies into<br />
your mouth without gagging<br />
or spitting them out. Overall, it<br />
was a successful way of engaging in something a little different to your<br />
general camping activities.<br />
Max<br />
Collecting the firewood was actually quite tricky; this is because up at<br />
Gembrook all the leaves, sticks and pieces of wood were wet. To collect<br />
the firewood we had to go walking down in the forest. When we<br />
found dry firewood it was under trees that kept the firewood dry. Overall<br />
everyone found firewood for the fires and the fires kept burning for<br />
a while.<br />
Jason<br />
For archery we all took turns at shooting at the target. We learnt how<br />
to release the arrow properly and improved our archery skills . It was<br />
awesome fun!<br />

DIVISION CROSS COUNTRY – NO SWEAT!<br />
The Division Cross Country Championships were held at HE Parker<br />

<strong>Ringwood</strong> dominated to win the Division Shield.<br />
We managed to clean sweep the age divisions winning the junior<br />
boys and girls division, the intermediate boys and girls divisions,<br />
and the senior boys and girls division pennants.<br />
The day started well with a great start by our 13yr boys and girls<br />
which saw 7 girls and 5 boys progress through to the next level. This<br />
resulted in a comfortable win of the team event. The 14yr boys managed<br />
to progress 5 individuals through to the next round, while the<br />
girls advanced 8 individuals, and also winning the team event. The<br />
15 girls stole the show with all 10 individuals progressing, while the<br />
boys managed to advance an impressive 7 <strong>RSC</strong> students. The rest<br />
of the day continued on very smoothly with a further 17 boys and<br />
17 girls progressing from the 16yr age category and the 20yr age<br />
category. The lead grew steadily, resulting in <strong>Ringwood</strong> snaring its<br />
6th consecutive title and 23 of the last 25 championships.<br />
At the end of the day, 9 teams had won and a staggering 76 individuals<br />
progressed to the next competition. Some other highlights<br />
for the day included:<br />
• Our under 13 boys clean sweep of their event winning the first 4<br />
places.<br />
• Our under 20 boys finishing with 7 in the first 10.<br />
• Our under 15 girls progressing to all 10 individuals through to the<br />
next level for that age category.<br />

points for their team.<br />
Our individual medal winners were:<br />

Careers..<br />
Year 10 Work Experience<br />
Work experience for Year 10 is in last week of term- Monday June<br />

GLOBAL GATHERING ACTIV-<br />
ITY<br />
On the 6th June eight of our<br />
refugee students from across<br />
years 7-10 attended a wonderful<br />
day at the 5th annual<br />
Global Gathering Multicultural<br />
Forum organised largely by<br />
Sharrin Murphy from Foundation<br />
House.<br />
Students from five other<br />
schools around the district came together for a day of fun-filled activities<br />
that included African drumming, martial arts painting, learning<br />
about our emergency services and I think everyone’s favourite<br />
….. a collection of Australian animals that the children could touch,<br />
feed and hold.<br />
These included a Saltwater Crocodile, Kookaburra, Bearded Dragon,<br />
Blue Tongue Lizard and the scariest of all – a Python which the<br />
students were invited to wrap around their necks and have their<br />
photo taken.<br />
While some of our students (and <strong>RSC</strong> staff) had to be persuaded to<br />
join in this activity, everyone in the end had their photo taken with<br />
the snake.<br />
Thanks to Lyn McGoldrick for her assistance on the day.<br />
HOMEWORK SUPPORT<br />
The homework support club continues to run on Thursday’s after<br />
school from 3.30 – 4.30 with a great many of our students attending<br />
every week for help with their work. Jocelyn our tutor works very<br />
well with the students and is ably supported by Bill and Lian our<br />
Multicultural Education Aides. Many thanks also to Heather and<br />
Lyn who give up their time to assist whenever they can, it is much<br />
appreciated.<br />

Coles Sports for Schools<br />
Program<br />
Once again this year we will be participating in the Coles Sports<br />

vouchers which allowed<br />
us to receive over 40<br />
sports balls, a table tennis<br />
table, electronic whistles<br />
and much more.<br />
Vouchers are available in<br />
all Coles stores from June<br />
13 to August 14 and we ask that you get involved to help collect<br />
vouchers for ourschool. For every $10 spent we will earn 1 voucher.<br />
Students can bring the vouchers in as they collect them or they can<br />
wait until the end of the competition and bring them all in at once.<br />
Many thanks for your support.<br />

Australian Geography<br />
Competition 2012<br />
VCE Geography students from <strong>Ringwood</strong> <strong>Secondary</strong> <strong>College</strong> competed<br />
in the National Geographic Channel Australian Geography<br />
Competition at the end of last term. Approximately 80,000 students<br />
from 774 schools entered the competition this year. As part of the<br />
competition, students were required to demonstrate their knowledge<br />
about global and local issues, with questions on recent natural<br />
disasters, sustainable energy and countries in our region, as well<br />
as using their geographic skills to interpret information through<br />
statistics, maps and satellite images.<br />
We have a number of student Geographers who performed at a<br />
very high level, gaining impressive results in the senior level of the<br />
competition. Over 1/3 (38%) of the Unit 3 Geography class gained<br />
a High Distinction or Distinction. Statistics for this level across the<br />
country are 20%. Nationally, it is only the top 11% who are awarded<br />
a High Distinction at the senior level. It was very pleasing to see<br />
23% of our <strong>Ringwood</strong> students attain that award. We would like to<br />
congratulate the following students:<br />
High Distinction<br />

<strong>RSC</strong> NEW SOCIAL WORKER - KAREN HALLAM<br />
My Name is Karen Hallam and I am wanting to introduce myself after<br />
I recently accepted the<br />

<strong>RSC</strong>. Some staff, students<br />
and parents may already<br />
know me from my time<br />
filling in the position (in<br />
2009-2010) and also my<br />
work in the careers office<br />

I look forward to getting to know you all over the coming year and<br />
beyond.<br />
ON ANOTHER NOTE:<br />
With the end of term fast approaching I am writing to request nominations<br />
for the RADAR Award.<br />
As you all know RADAR stands for ‘Respect and Diversity at <strong>Ringwood</strong>’,<br />
so please have a think about any staff members and/or students<br />
who you think have made a positive difference to the <strong>RSC</strong><br />
community this term.<br />
• Have they helped out or supported a friend/colleague through a<br />
difficult time?<br />
• Have they gone above and beyond what is required of them for<br />
the benefit of others?<br />
• Have they had a positive influence in what could have been a very<br />
negative situation?<br />
• Have they been respectful of others who may have different views/<br />
beliefs?<br />
If so please send through nominations via email to myself or Sharlene<br />
in the Welfare office by Thursday June 28th.<br />
These nominations will be announced at an assembly early next<br />
term and the final winner of the RADAR Award will receive a special<br />
gift and be recognised at the end of the year ceremony.<br />
