PRINCIPAL’S NEWS A warm welcome back to all of our students, staff and parents for Term 4. I trust

students had an enjoyable break and have returned refreshed and ready to participate in

all the college activities in the lead up to JumpStart and Christmas. (Yes, Christmas

already).

Term 4 is always an extremely busy time in schools. The Year 12 cohort will be studying

hard in the lead in to their final exams which begin on Wednesday 26th October. It is an

exciting and nervous time for these students as they reflect on their six years at Rosebud and think about

the futures in front of them. We wish them all the best for their exams and know that the hard work and

effort they and their teachers have put in over this year and previous years will pay off.

For students in other year levels the term seems to fly by as senior school exams get underway and the

JumpStart program begins in late November. It is imperative that the focus of students in the lower levels

is firmly on their subjects and curriculum programs.

As usual a large number of activities have been running in the college to support our programs. We

welcome back Ms Rapajic and Mr Fujimoto, along with the senior students who had a fantastic trip to our

sister school Gamagori Higashi in Japan. If the amazing photos are anything to go by it was a wonderful

trip.

Many Year 9 students are currently enjoying warm and sunny weather in Central Australia. Reports from

Mr Neale and Mrs Verwey are that the students are having a fantastic time and immersing themselves in

the outback Australian culture. Having visited myself a number of times, I know it is an experience

students will remember for the rest of their lives.

Special congratulations to Mrs Brea Low and the Performing Arts students who participated in Wakakirri.

Their adaptation of the Picnic at Hanging Rock story was beautifully performed. It is a great credit to the

students and staff involved, as I am sure everyone who has seen it would agree. The amount of work

involved and the level of professionalism shown by the students is always inspiring. Of course as a school

community we are so proud of their efforts and extremely happy to be crowned State Champions for the

third year in a row. The National Awards are announced soon and we wish them all the best.

Personally I am excited to begin Term 4 as Acting Principal whilst Andrew Nicholls is on leave. There are

always a large number of events and ceremonies during this time that allow us to acknowledge the great

work of our students and celebrate their successes. I look forward to sharing these with the school

community as the term progresses.
