New Leadership Team Elected

Elsewhere in this bulletin, you will see the report of the SRC

Coordinator, Ms Edwards, on the election of the new Student

Leadership Team for 2014. They represent an outstanding group of

young men, as the Leadership Team always does.

I am especially looking forward to working with the new Captain,

Benjamin Street and Vice Captain, Tilan Mahayagoda, both of

whom are remarkable young men.

The new team has big shoes to fill and I look forward to hearing

something of their vision at the Leaders’ Induction Ceremony on

Thursday, September 05.

Showtime

Once again The Show was an absolute stand out

event. What a terrific experience! The effort of the

staff and parents, along with the exceptional work of

Alicia Jarvis as the creative director, never fails to

impress me. Ms Ford, who invests so much of her

time and energy in The Show, is a magnificent asset Alicia Jarvis

to our school and without her, our engagement in The Show would

be much harder to achieve. However, the cast and crew, for whom

The Show exists, were just amazing.

While everyone was great, I have to

mention the brilliant performance of Rob

Hartley – again the great comic with

fantastic timing and a face that lights up

the stage; Zac Goldfinch, whose acting

skills just get stronger and stronger - as

the father in the Willy Wonker story he

was marvellous! Ben Miziner - whose

rendition of Goldfinger in the James

Bond segment was just breath- taking - is

another talent to watch. However, the

new talent of the night was Kalani

Anitelea-Hand, a Year 8 dynamo with a great voice and versatility.

His smile showed how much he was enjoying himself and the

applause showed how talented he is! The Show is one of our

flagship events and deservedly so. I look forward eagerly to next

year’s production.

More about BYOD

Last week, I wrote about the policy of Bring your Own Device,

which will be implemented next year, to replace the finished laptop

roll out. I attended a conference last week that showcased some of

the emerging technologies in education. BYOD is one of the

programs being used in educational systems around the world to

enable students to have access to technology at school.

Shortly, we will be conducting a survey of parents to gauge their

interest in several aspects of the BYOD program, including

willingness to purchase or lease devices from third party providers

via the school. We are looking at what possible devices we may be

able to offer via third party providers at the lowest possible price for

purchase or lease.

For those interested in seeing

what’s on the horizon for the next

few years in terms of technology,

google “The Horizon Report” to

view a short film clip that shows

what’s coming our way. Successful Police Work Experience

Congratulations to Kirk Reynolds of Year 11 who recently undertook work experience with the NSW Police. Kirk was so impressive that I was contacted by the Police with their congratulations. Kirk appears in the photograph as part of his work experience at the Police air command.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP AT RBHS

To be a prefect of RBHS requires a students to commit to be

leaders in every sense of the word; to act as role-models, to be

approachable, to maintain the high standards of uniform we expect

of our students, to assist in improving engagement amongst the

student body for school events and to represent our school at many

public and departmental events. It is both a huge honour and a

fantastic achievement to be elected as a prefect.

The election of prefects and the subsequent selection of a new

Captain and Vice-captain required the eighteen nominees to stand

before their peers and speak publically about why they should be a

prefect from term 4 this year; a difficult task for many people, but

these boys rose to the occasion and all delivered speeches that I

was honoured to witness. Well done! The school community

should be rightly proud and very excited about the prospect of the

forthcoming year with this prefect group, a wonderfully diverse

group of young men.

The election of the School Captain and Vice-captain, as well as

nomination of the Prefect Portfolio positions, was conducted over

the past two weeks. Congratulations to Benjamin Street on being

elected as School Captain and to Tilan Mahayagoda on his election

as Vice-Captain. These two extremely talented young men both

have great futures ahead of them. I have no doubt that they will

represent our school admirably and wear the badge with both

honour and pride. Benjamin Street Tilan Mahayagoda School Captain Vice School Captain

To all the boys who nominated for the Student Representative

Council this year, well done for saying to the school community that

you are prepared to represent your peers and the school.

Unfortunately, not everyone can be elected and I encourage those

unsuccessful candidates to continue to be involved in the life of the

school and try again next year. To those boys who successfully

achieved selection on the SRC, congratulations. Let’s have a

fantastic 2014 making a difference at RBHS.

I can't finish this article without acknowledging our departing SRC

representatives, particularly our outgoing Prefect group. Led by

Adry Awan and Ali Attia, this team has set a very high standard,

leading with a sense of drive, pride, humility and passion for their

school. I will miss you all. You are all wonderful leaders and young

men. Your futures are definitely bright.

The Student Leadership Investiture Assembly will take place on

Thursday 5 September.

Educational Access Schemes (EAS)

Most of UAC’s participating institutions have Educational Access Schemes (EAS) to help students who have experienced long-term educational disadvantage gain admission to tertiary study. Institutions use EAS to make offers of admission in one of two ways. They:

allocate bonus points, or

set aside a certain number of places for EAS applicants.

There are seven broad categories of disadvantage:

disrupted schooling

financial hardship

home environment

English language difficulty

personal illness/disability

refugee status

school environment. To be eligible for EAS consideration your educational performance must have been seriously affected, normally for a period of at least six months during Year 11 and/or 12 or equivalent, due to circumstances beyond your control and choosing. Please contact the Acting Careers Adviser, Mr McIntosh for further information.

The Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia is proud to announce its support for the annual Indonesia Festival, to be held in Darling Harbour, Sydney on the 28th of September 2013

In accordance with this year’s Indonesia Festival, we are seeking more than 500 participants to perform the traditional bamboo instrument, angklung, in unison at the event.

ABOUT ANGKLUNG Angklung is a musical instrument made of two bamboo tubes attached to a bamboo frame. The tubes are carved to have a resonant pitch when struck and are tuned to octaves. The base of the frame is held in one hand, whilst the other hand struck the instrument. This causes a repeating note to sound. Each of three or more. performer in an angklung ensemble play just one note or more, but altogether complete melodies are produced. Angklung has been played by the Sundanese for many centuries.
