It’s a wrap, as tomorrow night the curtain falls on our 2019 production, Spamalot.

A special thankyou to the Director, Mr Karl McNamara and the whole production company, for creating such a wonderful production. It has been delightful to see so many families enjoying the performances of our students in this lively and fun-filled production. I would like to congratulate all of the students involved for their hard work dedication and creativity, whether as a cast member, technical crew person, backstage or makeup or as a musician in the orchestra. The support of so many staff and parents  contributes greatly to the quality performances that our students achieve.

Congratulations to Intermediate Girls Football team on reaching the Victorian state finals to be held later this month. This is a first for Ringwood and another significant highlight for our sporting program.

Our musicians, continue to work hard with great results being obtained in the Victorian Schools Music Festival including a number of Gold and Platinum awards. Check out the details from our music department

There is lots happening at the moment   in the college relating to subject and course selections for 2019. In the coming fortnight, many students will be finalising their senior pathway choices.

There will be a further opportunity for reflection on progress during the current semester on Wednesday August 28th, with parent teacher and student conferences scheduled on that date. Classes will not operate on that date to allow teachers the time to conduct conferences between 12.00 and 8pm. Bookings can be made through Compass.

The next stage of our building program is about to commence with all of the advance preparations complete. The builder is due on site by the end of the month with a construction period of just over 12 months for completion. We expect to occupy our new senior school centre in Term 4 2020.  We have been delighted with the favourable tender outcomes and all options for the building and related works have been included in the construction program which will ensure a similar quality build to what was achieved with the Junior school.
