Debutante Ball  Year 11

It was a lovely evening with the debutantes presented to Mr Craig Guscott, School Council President and Mrs Julie Hughes, former Assistant Principal at Ringwood Secondary College.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to its success. The photos in this newsletter highlight the fun and glamour of the night.

This weekend will see the last Debutante Ball for the year.

From Mr Barut

Students at Ringwood Secondary College continue to flourish and grow under the caring leadership of their teachers and their House Co-ordinators. Notwithstanding the engaging curriculum and motivation to learn, students have all the opportunity afforded to them to be involved in all aspects of college life.

Some of the highlights have included the Year 7 cohort having some Elevate sessions on Study skills, note taking and organisation. There will be a follow up consolidation session next term where all students will be guided through best practice in preparing for an English text response. The skills learnt now are vital as they move through secondary school.

The InterGreat Parent Expo showcased personal projects from the Year 9 group that was shared with friends, parents and teachers – students were proud at talking about their learnings and enthusiastic about their finished products – in fact, some students showed amazing entrepreneurial promise!!

The Year 10 students have the Metec excursion to look forward to that prepares them for their Learners and other programs that relate to road safety.

Senior School have been busy with study, study, study! Having said that, so many of our students have also been involved in ‘Chicago’, Mt Gambier and Deb ball. This is fantastic to see and the College celebrates and encourages their involvement.

The College is always supportive of parent involvement through the educational journey and parents are invited to contact House Co-ordinators if they require any assistance or clarification. The College stance is that any communication has to be positive, respectful and solution focussed. We ask for your continued support in this expectation.
