this week it is being featured on ‘Compass’ on the ABC, Sunday, 24 

March at 6.30 pm. Tune into watch an important issue.

Progress Reports will be published electronically on Friday, 22 

March at 3.30 pm. Access to these reports is through Compass. 

Families should have received the letter regarding using Compass 

earlier this week 

The Debutante Ball 

This newsletter is adorned with some magnificent photos of our 

debutantes. 

What a night! 

37 couples waltzed, shimmied and bedazzled The Grand in 

Wantirna with glamour and panache. 

The Debs were presented to Mrs Sandra Kitching, our College 

Council President and to Mr Ron Hurley, Past President of the 

School Council. Indeed, Mr Hurley was the College Council President 

when the first Deb Ball was held. 

A night like this comes together after the hard work of so many 

people. 

The College would like to acknowledge the hard work of the 

PCTA fund raising committee of Mrs Cathy Bayliss and Mrs Debbie 

Dare, the dulcet tones of Mr Brian Amos (who, incidentally, 

MCed his 28th Deb Ball in a row!) our dance instructors Mrs Caitlin 

Doyle and Mr Tim Doyle, to all the parents that provided the supper 

during all the rehearsals and last but not least, our Senior School 

team ably led by Mr Matt Porter and our Community Co-ordinators, 

Ms Cathy Kinnear and Ms Fiona Sawyer. 

Thanks to all. 

The dispute between the AEU and DEECD remains unresolved 

and hence, the bans on reporting remain in place. Many teachers 

are supporting these bans and consequently no assessments will 

appear for a number of subjects in student reports. 

Other avenues exist for parents to receive feedback on their child. 

Parent/teacher/student interviews are being held on Tuesday, 

16 April between 12.00 – 8.00 pm. Appointments may be made 

through Compass from 22 March. These interviews will provide 

an opportunity to discuss student progress in detail and we 

strongly recommend families take the opportunity to attend this 

session and find out how their child is progressing. 

There are no scheduled classes on this day, however, students are 

encouraged to attend interviews with their parent/s. 

Instructions for making interviews can be found in the Quicklinks 

section on the college webpage. www.ringwoodsc.vic.edu.au 

For families who do not have access to a computer and the internet, 

please contact the General Office to arrange appointments. 

Anti – Bullying Day 

What an amazing effort by 

all our prefects who organized, 

volunteered and participated 

in anti – bullying 

day. 

Through their drive and 

energy, the entire College 

cohort was treated to face 

painting, a DJ, a BBQ, a 

dodge ball competition and 

free badges and wrist bands 

pertaining to standing up 

and saying ‘NO!’ to bullying. 

Congratulations to Luke 

Thomas and Bianca La Morticella, 

our Welfare Prefects and 

thanks also to our VCAL students 

for their organization 

and hard work. 

Upcoming Curriculum Day 

Please be aware that the first day of Term 2, Monday, 15 April, 

has been designated a Curriculum Day and no students are 

required at school on that day. An interesting and relevant program 

has been prepared and will involve teachers from all the 

schools in the MEC (Maroondah Education Coalition) during the 

morning session which will be held at the Karralyka Centre. The 

afternoon session will be back at school with teachers working on 

curriculum development focusing on differentiation. 

Parent Teacher Night 

Parents are invited to book a parent/teacher meeting to discuss 

the progress of their son/daughter. This term is almost over and it 

is vitally important that work habits, classroom engagement and 

SACs are discussed openly and genuinely, so that full potential is 

reached.

MIDDLE SCHOOL NEWS 

As we near the end of a busy first term, I am reminded of all the 

positive things that have been achieved to date. The Year 10 Common 

period is connecting Year 10 students and staff through regular 

assemblies with an emphasis on what matters to students as 

they cement their foundations for the future: leadership, careers, 

work habits. 

The Year 9 Challen9e Camp has enabled students to move outside 

their comfort level and take safe risks in their learning. It is 

expected that students take responsibility by arriving at school on 

time and in proper uniform, behaving respectfully on the college 

grounds and working hard to achieve their personal best. Parents 

will have the opportunity to see and hear about the achievements 

of their children in the interim reports and at Parent Teacher Interviews. 

We encourage all parents to make interview times with staff.

Congratulations to all Middle school students who have received 

leadership positions. We look forward to working with these students 

over the course of the year. 

On the subject of manners. Please remember that the respect of 

others is paramount as students make their way to and from school. 

It is wonderful to hear the community reporting on the good behaviour 

of our students in uniform when they are on excursions. It is 

equally important that students are responsible citizens on the way 

to school and on the way home.

Leadership Positions 

Congratulations to all students who have attained leadership positions 

for 2013. 

Many of the Ambassadors have already been involved in the college 

tours for 2014 and these students have displayed great confidence 

and knowledge of the college and its programs. A full list of 

leadership positions will be published by the end of term 1. 

Worlds Greatest Shave 

Jayden Anthony, currently in Year 8, has raised money and awareness 

of the fight against Leukaemia. Last Friday, supported by his 

Year 8 peers and teachers, Jayden had his hair shaved by a staff 

member, Ms J. Condylis, in the quadrangle amidst a hive of activity 

during the lunchtime wellbeing celebrations. We commend and 

thank Jayden on his positive attitude and willingness to help others. 

Bullying. NO WAY! 

It was the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence 

2013. This annual day provides a focus for schools that want to say 

Bullying. No Way! and to strengthen their everyday messages that 

bullying and violence at school are not okay at any time. 

The Year 8 cohort were spoken to last Friday by many staff, in a level 

assembly, about bullying in it many forms and were also privileged 

to view a visual display created by several of our VCAL students 

(Year 7 students will also be involved in a presentation on March 

25th about anti-bullying). 

A strong message was relayed to treat each other with respect. 

“Do unto others as you would have them do to you” 

Please ensure your son/daughter revisits the college’s policies and 

agreements on correct usage of the internet, school equipment, 

uniform and behaviour. Each student must adhere to the clear 

guidelines and protocols outlined in the college student diary and/ 

or the college website. 

Bedford Road Crossing 

Students must take to care to cross Bedford Road at the designated 

crossing. Several students are risking their lives and the safety of 

others by taking short cuts and crossing at dangerous and inappropriate 

places. Be careful!

WORLD TOUR REPORT FROM MIRANDA BOYLE 

On Saturday March 2, 42 performing arts students met at Tullamarine 

airport to set off on World Tour! Amid tears and hugs we left 

our families. The plane was long and tiring, but most of us were 

running on adrenaline and excitement, and our smiles couldn’t be 

taken away. 

Members of the public enquired about us, so much so that we were 

pressured into singing ‘Holy Grail’ on the plane! 

We arrived in a freezing Detroit, full of snow, and were greeted by 

eager host families. I went home and had the best sleep I’ve ever 

had! The following day was a rest day with our families. Ringwood 

students did many different activities with their hosts, from shopping 

at the mall, family celebrations, playing in the snow, driving 

around Detroit to taste local food (coney dog with chilli cheese 

fries and root beer is my personal favourite), going to the theatre, 

to even shooting guns! 

After so much activity on Sunday, starting school at 7.45 was hard, 

but so exciting to discuss with each other and compare notes on 

our families. 

To me, being in Detroit felt like being on the set of a movie. Berkely 

High School was a typical American school, snow lined the streets 

Page 5


full of beautiful old houses. 

At school we attended the first class with our hosts before meeting 

up to fit our show, ‘The Spirit of Melbourne’ onto a new stage. We 

performed our show to the music students, and they were a fantastic 

audience, particularly loving the flirtatious scenes! Afterwards 

we were somewhat celebrities in the school, with Ringwood boys 

being the subject of attention from many of the American girls! 

We performed once again to all the families in the evening, and it 

was a brilliant show. 

The following day we toured around Detroit, visiting the Motown 

museum, the Henry Ford museum and the Hard Rock cafe, before 

a brilliant night at the hockey. Ringwood SC adopted the Detroit 

team, the Redwings! The atmosphere at the hockey was amazing, 

the fans live and breathe hockey and this was highly evident from 

their cheers and screams! To top it all off the Redwings won!! 

The Sports Pages.. 

DIVISION SWIMMING – HAPPY 21ST!! 

On the 6th of March at the Booroondara Sports Complex in Balwyn, 

our swimming and diving team chalked up its 21st successive division 

championship. A strong effort from all of our team set up the 

win and the final result was cemented with some excellent performances 

in the relay events. 

When the final points were tallied, Ringwood had finished on a 

whopping 931 points, over 300 points clear of traditional rivals Norwood. 

Although it was a real team effort, there were some outstanding individual 

performances. Our multiple individual event winners were 

Sophie Caldwell (5), Khy Blizzard (5), Courtney Smyth (5), Georgina 

Button (5), Tristan Blizzard (5), Alice Matanisiga (4), Cooper Fraser 

(3), Luke Percy (3), Jayden Cichowski (2), Nathan Percy (2) and Jacqueline 

Smart (2). 

The next day we were up early to say goodbye to our american 

hosts, and thank them for being so welcoming towards us. We travelled 

into Canada, and arrived at Trafalgar Castle School to set up 

to perform our only show to them. It is the most amazing school, a 

castle built in the 1800’s. It was surrounded by snow which accentuated 

the beauty of the school! 

The show was brilliant, and we soon met our host families. 

The following day we met at the school. The first part of the day was 

an assembly, in which we all participated in a quiz on Australia. We 

then completed a scavenger hunt, which took us all over the school, 

up and down the many flights of stairs. The other activity was ‘Trafalgar 

Idol’ (which felt strangely like red faces). In teams we made 

up a performance, which eventually was performed to the whole 

school at lunchtime. It was really fun and I think everyone made 

some good friends. 

In the afternoon we sat on a yellow schoolbus and made our way 

into downtown Toronto. It was really great to visit some markets 

and other interesting streets in the area. We also visited a massive 

shopping mall. 

It was a long day, but so brilliant getting to know the area while 

bonding with everyone in the group! 

On Friday, we travelled to the mighty Niagara Falls! We had a lively 

tour guide to inform us of the history and geography, as well as escort 

the group down into the viewing places behind the falls. Many 

students were surprised to see the almost theme park-like town in 

such close proximity to the falls. After discovering the town, Clifton 

Hill, we left to venture back into Toronto, where some people conquered 

their fear of heights to go up the CN tower. It had the most 

amazing view, with a big glass floor. 

We went home to farewell our hosts before now moving onto England! 

Make sure you check out the photos later in the newsletter! 

Our other individual winners were Madelyn Tucker, Mitch Crozier, 

Emma George, Lauren Flanagan, Cameron Shield, Isaac Parlas and 

Sinead Lumsden. 

MEDLEY 6/6 8/12

SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY 

In conjunction with the school cross country on the 28th March this 

term we will be holding an adidas School Fun-Run as a major fundraising 

event this year for Year 7 and 8 students. All money raised 

will go towards the installation of water taps/drinking fountains on 

the oval. These should be a great addition to an area of the school 

used by all students. 

Interviews of Year 10 students have commenced and each student 

will hopefully have a career pathway plan mapped out by the middle 

of Term 2. In the common period held last week all students 

participated in a careers focused presentation that will equip them 

to make sound choices for their VCE/VCAL studies for 2014. Several 

websites were explained to the students and links are provided: The 

Job Guide, Youth Central and Lea. By the start of Term 2 all students 

should have their resume and a cover letter completed and emailed

2013 Top Designs Launch 

The 2013 Top Designs exhibition was launched on Friday 15th 

March at the Melbourne Museum. Among the featured works, created 

by the most outstanding 

VCE students from 2012, 

was our very own Meleonie 

Meyer. 

Meleonie graduated from 

Ringwood Secondary College 

at the end of 2012, 

and as part of her VCE Units 

3 and 4 Media course she 

created the Melbourne-inspired 

magazine; Elliotte. “The idea for Elliotte came from a personal 

interest in creative lifestyle magazines, such as Frankie and online 

presses such as Dashing magazine. 

Inspired by these I chose to create a 

magazine aimed at young women, 

showcasing Melbourne’s quirks 

and hidden gems with a kitsch 

touch.” 

The 2013 VCE Season of Excellence 

received 189 Applications for Photography, 

Print Layout and Multimedia, 

of which only 18 made it 

to final selection to be featured as 

part of this year’s exhibition. 

As part of the selection process, 

works are first shortlisted. The talents 

of Ringwood SC students were 

also featured in this process, with Stefan Barut, who also graduated 

in 2012, shortlisted for the Food and Technology folios exhibition. 

Meleonie’s dedication and commitment to her final Media product 

has definitely paid off. After eight long months of hard work, day 

trips to the city, seeking copyright permissions, writing and editing 

her own articles, capturing hundreds of photographs, and learning 

how to use editing software, Meleonie’s 

beautifully crafted Elliotte 

magazine will be on exhibition at 

the Melbourne Museum for the 

next few months. 

We would like to encourage the 

Ringwood SC community to vote 

for Meleonie’s magazine as part 

of the People’s Choice Awards, 

run in conjunction with the exhibition. 

Cast your vote by visiting 

the Facebook page listed below,

International.. 

We have begun the year with 

13 International fee paying 

students from Vietnam, 

China, Hong Kong and 

Mauritius. In Terms Two and 

Three another 3 students 

will join the group at RSC. 

All students must complete 

at least 6 months in a language 

school before coming 

across to Ringwood to join mainstream classes. 

We wish all our students all the very best for 2013 ! 

Congratulations to Erkang Gu who graduated from RSC at the end 

of last year and has been presented with an Engineering scholarship 

from Monash. 

RSC wishes to welcome two very special visitors , Anna VanHoof 

and Hannah Blucher-Martin. The girls are on 6 weeks exchange 

from Trafalgar Castle School, Ontario, Canada. Whilst in Australia 

Anna and Hannah will be hosted by the Sheers and Whitby families. 

We thank them for their involvement in the program. 

During the year we will be visited by students from Montfort College, 

our sister school in Thailand. We will once again be asking for 

families to support us by providing home stay for these students. 

We look forward to another busy year ahead. 

First Aid.. 

IMMUNISATIONS: 

Marie Maloney and James Barut 

Thank you to all those that returned their forms. The first day of 

immunisations went well and the majority of students coped well 

despite the heat. We still have about 70 outstanding Year 10 immunisation 

cards and we still need these returned to us as soon as 

possible please. 

HEADLICE: 

There has been some isolated cases of headlice. Please check your 

child’s hair regularly and if head lice or eggs are found, treat appropriately. 

Health regulations require that where a child has head 

lice that the child should not return to school until the day after 

appropriate treatment has started. 

For further information see website: www.health.vic.gov.au/headlice 

HEADACHES: 

We always see a lot of children in sick bay with headaches. 

Headaches can be caused by so many things but to be put simply 

-anything which causes irritation to the nerves around the face, 

head, neck, or even inside the skull, can cause pain in the head. 

These may include: dental problems, neck strain, eyestrain, eye diseases, 

jaw problems, blood pressure problems, ear/nose or throat 

problems, muscular tension... etc. This is why it is recommended 

that if the headache persists or worsens that you should get medical 

advice to ensure that there is no underlying problem. 

Page 9 

At first aid we can dispense paracetamol (panadol, panamax etc) if 

we have a signed permission slip from the parents for their child. 

Tips for the prevention of headaches: 

1: Get plenty of sleep. Studies have shown that most teens require 

8 ½ - 9 hours sleep a night to perform at their best. 

2: Remain hydrated – drink plenty of water and eat well. 

3: Avoid any known trigger factors – eg: certain perfumes can cause 

headaches for certain people. 

4: Eliminate as much stress as possible. This is often easier said than 

done but for example - when studying - plan study-free breaks and 

do relaxation exercises. Simple stretching exercises will help relive 

muscle tension. 

5: Get a healthy amount of exercise and get out into the fresh air 

where possible.

Technology News.. 

URGENT - EVERY PARENT NEEDS TO READ THIS INFORMATION 

Technology is growing at a rapid rate, especially mobile devices. 

There are new software programs and Apps coming online daily, 

which can make life a lot easier and enjoyable. Keeping up with 

children and technology is a fulltime job, but it’s an extremely important 

one that must be remembered. 

As parents and children, it is our responsibility, to be open and 

aware of the programs, websites and apps that we are using and 

these online activities need to be supervised. 

There has been a huge jump in the use of Instagram, Flickr and Kik. 

As parents, you have the right to decide whether your child is ready 

for these types of programs, but unfortunately, they have recently 

been used inappropriately, to annoy, scare and pressure other students. 

It is extremely difficult for teachers to sort out online “issues” 

that occur out of school hours. Teachers are doing all they can to 

reinforce cyber safety strategies and to educate students about the 

consequences of cyber bullying. We want everybody to stay safe 

online, but we need your help! 

If your children use any of these programs (including older siblings!) 

we ask that you monitor and supervise their use, so that 

these online activities remain a positive experience for everybody. 

If you have no idea what these programs are, then we recommend 

you Google them and have a quick read as to their applications. A 

good guide is; if an application or website has no privacy settings, 

do not use it. Where there are privacy settings, ensure that they are 

turned on and that children only share content with people they 

physically know. 

Other online issues at home that we are hearing from students include:  

• Online gaming– Students joining group games where they do not 

know the identity of other players (very risky!) 

• Facebook and YouTube – students uploading photographs of 

other children without student or parent permission 

• Kik– students rating each other (similar to like/dislike on Facebook). 

This activity is extremely concerning and has huge implications 

for children’s self-esteem. 

Please talk to your children about these inappropriate activities. 

Enjoy technology, but remember: 

STAY SAFE ONLINE. STAY NICE ONLINE.

LOTE News.. 

On Monday, two representatives from a publishing company came 

to RSC and conducted a trial French app for year 7 level. Four of 

our year 8C students, 

Jarvis, Trey, Sarah and 

Dakota offered to be 

part of the trial which 

was held during period 

3. They were asked 

to work through activities 

and comment 

on the complexity 

and appropriateness 

of each. For their trouble, 

these students received a $30 iTunes voucher each from the 

publishing company. Many thanks to the four students for being a 

part of this trial.

ATTENDANCE MATTERS 

DIRECT ATTENDANCE LINE – 9845 7519 

WHAT TO DO IF A STUDENT WILL BE ABSENT FOR ANY REASON 

YEARS 8-10 

 

 

 

 

Ring the attendance line each time your child is absent from school – No need to send a note if this is 

done. 

If you are leaving a message on the line please give a reason for the absence. 

Please provide a note or ring the school if you know your child will be late for any reason. Too 

many unapproved late arrivals may result in students being given a detention. 

Ongoing absences due to illness or other medical issues will require a medical certificate or letter 

from a treating health professional otherwise the absences may not be approved. 

VCE STUDENTS 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notification of absences is essential for year 11 and 12 students as their attendance is monitored on a 

daily basis. 

For absences longer that 1 day a medical certificate will be required. 

Ongoing illnesses also require a medical certificate to cover the period of absence or absences 

Students who are absent on days where they have a SAC must provide a medical certificate to cover 

this period otherwise no allowance will be made to do the SAC at a later date 

Please be aware that students are required to attend Form Assembly on Monday, Wednesday and 

Fridays even if they have a free period following FA as this is where a lot of information is given out 

about school and year level activities. 

Detentions may be given by year level Community Heads for missing Form Assembly on a regular 

basis 

Why Regular Attendance is Important 

Poor patterns of attendance place students at risk of not achieving their educational, social and psychological 

potential. Children also need time to socialise with his peers and to build friendships. Regular attendance at 

school is particularly important in the transition from primary to secondary school as it can be a stressful 

time for some children and a consistent pattern of attendance makes this process easier and helps them to 

overcome some of the initial concerns around being at a new school. Regular attendance also gives children 

the opportunity to develop important relationships with their teachers and the school community in general.

At the beginning of 2014 Ringwood Secondary College will be proudly celebrating its 60 th year of 

educating young people and equipping them for the future. To recognise this milestone it is planned 

to have a permanent static display to remind all students and visitors to this college that it has a long 

and proud history of service to the community. This display will be visually attractive and we believe 

it to be unique to this college. 

It is planned to present the history of the college in stone for all to see. A granite bollard with a 

stainless steel cap will represent each decade. The school’s/college’s history will be on display 

showing the most significant highlights and achievements for each decade. These bollards will be 

strategically placed around the school where they can be readily observed and appreciated. Perhaps 

they can be reminders of events you may have forgotten from your school years. Maybe there will 

be things you didn’t know about the college. 

You can also be a part of this permanent display. 

As an ex-student; a staff member or ex-staff member; a parent of an ex-student, or a person who is 

attending or has attended this college, you can have your name or the names of past and present 

students displayed on a bollard for others to see and to remember fellow students. 

To take part you can purchase a commemoration plaque and indicate the name or names you want 

inscribed on the plaque(s) to be remembered as a student or ex-student of this college. There are 

three types of plaques to choose from, as shown on the other side of this page, for your personal 

names or family names. Your plaque(s) will display the name(s) and the years the nominated 

person(s) attended the former Ringwood High School or Ringwood Secondary College. 

How you can be included in the Ringwood Secondary College history. 

Fill in the attached Application Request on the other side after selecting one of the design types 

illustrated. Write the name or names of the student or students, or the family name and the start 

and end years on the application where indicated and include the payment as applicable so when 

the day of celebration arrives your plaque will be on permanent display on a bollard. 

A single plaque will cost $195 and additional plaques will be at a reduced price of $150 per plaque. 

Please note that this price is an introductory price and will only apply until 31 December 2013. After 

that date the cost of the plaques will increase. 

How to complete your Application Request. 

1 Select the type (s) of plaque of plaques required from the other side of this sheet. 

2 Fill in the details where indicated in block letters and complete your details in the 

Your Details section.

Murdoch Childrens Research Institute at the Royal Children’s Hospital is running a randomised clinical trial 

of an online weight management program designed for overweight adolescents aged 12 to 17. 

Staying Fit is an internet-based program designed to encourage overweight adolescents to make healthy 

food choices and increase physical activity. The Staying Fit program has been used successfully in the 

United States and we have modified it to make it suitable for young people in Australia. Participants are 

randomised to the Staying Fit program or the Usual Care program. For those in the Staying Fit group, 

personalised support for each individual is delivered after considering each adolescent’s BMI, along with 

weight and shape concerns. This support includes weekly personalised contact, the use of a pedometer and 

access to a walking program. Staying Fit contains interactive quizzes, logs and a discussion board. The 

program takes approximately 1 hour per week for around 12 weeks. Those randomised to the Usual Care 

program will receive physical activity and nutrition information currently available to Adolescents. 

The participants are asked to complete online questionnaires and have their height, weight, blood pressure 

and waist circumference measured by a researcher at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months follow-ups. 

Measurements are taken in the participant’s home or at the Royal Children’s Hospital. Parents are also 

invited to complete questionnaires and are sent regular newsletters on how they can support their 

teenager. The results will demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of using the personalised, targeted 

Staying Fit program for addressing weight-related behaviours during adolescence. Recruitment has 

commenced and we are looking for overweight young people aged between 12 and 17. 

If you would like to know more, contact the Staying Fit Project Coordinator, Karly Cini on (03) 9345 6954 or 

email: stayingfit@mcri.edu.au 

The ethical aspects of this research project have been approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee 

of The Royal Children’s Hospital, Parkville. This project will be carried out according to the National 

Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007) produced by the National Health and Medical
