Year 7, Day One
The Junior School Coordinators warmly welcome all our 2016, Year 7 students (263 in total) to Junior School.
Day one was very busy. Students were introduced to their “Bounce” tutors and spent the morning involved in a variety of activities.
The first session was spent learning how to use their locks. Quite challenging, but with the very kind assistance of our 2015 Junior Ambassadors all students managed to successfully achieve this task.
In session two, students worked through the booklet “Getting Started at RSC”. In this session one of the tasks was to t learn how to read a timetable. The codes were a little challenging.
In session three, students completed a tour of the school including a visit to the General Office to familiarize themselves with the correct process of obtaining any necessary passes, e.g. late or early leavers passes.
We congratulate all Year 7, 2016 on a great start to the year and thank the huge team of staff who made this morning a great success. So much so we had no questions at the assembly just before they were dismissed at the end of the morning.
Welcome to the Team

Parents /Guardians are most welcome to email their child’s Coordinator. However, we do ask that if you would like to meet with a Coordinator personally, that you make an appointment first. With over 500 students in Junior School the office gets very busy at certain times throughout the day. We endeavour to make appointments around these busy times.
Year 8 Students.
The Year 8 students have had a very positive start to the Year. Mr Phillips (College Principal) and Mrs Maria Allison (Assistant Principal) welcomed the students into year 8 and encouraged them all to work towards many goals throughout the year.
