Senior School

From the Prefects

by Didier Iriarte Fattel Yr.12

The Yr12s had a blast on their last day of term, studying and working in their pyjamas. For hundreds of years Yr12s at Ringwood Secondary College have been honoured with the privilege to wear their pyjamas for one day in the year to celebrate their final year and to re-energise them for the toughest terms ahead of sadly their last year at school. Despite being officially the school holidays after that day, most students were aware of the considerable amounts of homework they had to do and therefore most students left it to the last day of holidays to finish it off J. Even though it was a short break, it was a good rest for the students to have some time and take their minds off things. Additionally, some of the Yr12 students participating in this year’s production of Chicago had their very productive 3-day camp in order to polish and prepare the show for what will be undoubtedly an amazing and unforgettable show full of talent and killer acting. All the students are looking forward to this term!!

Central Australia

by Ciara Lumsden Yr.11

Central Australia was an absolutely amazing experience for the Year 11s this year. Starting off at Uluru, we got to see 'The Rock' and this was a highlight for many. After a few long walks, we headed to King's Canyon for probably the best walk of the trip. The views were fantastic. Off to Alice Springs next, and staying at the Big 4 was a very nice surprise. We had a bit of time to look around Alice and get lunch, most people choosing to go for a feed from Maccas. We left Alice Springs for our longest drive and everyone caught up on some sleep on the bus. When we got to Jabiru and everyone was straight into the pool. We heard some fireworks for Territory Day and then the next day we headed to Darwin and everyone was once again in the pool. On our last day we headed to Wangi Falls, which was a highlight for everyone on the trip. Overall, everyone had a fantastic time and I'm sure we all wish we had some of that nice, sunny weather now in Melbourne!
