Around the School
Visual Arts NGV Excursion
Students in Year 10 Art and Year 11 Studio Arts visited the National Gallery of Victoria to view the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces series, China’s ancient Terracotta Warriors alongside an exhibition by the contemporary artists, Cai Guo-Qiang.
This excursion enabled students to research and compare the preparation, presentation, conservation and promotion of art in different exhibition spaces.
Students also had the opportunity to view the Mirka Mora Mural at Flinders Street Station. The mural was created with mosaic for the central panel, the decorative upper frieze being painted and the lower border being painted with low-relief outlines.
Students were thrilled to view this original mural by the artist (that we are currently studying in class) and identify and discuss the ways in which Mora used various materials, techniques and processes.

Heritage Perpetual Scholarship
Do you know about our Heritage Perpetual Scholarship?
In 2015 the RSC Heritage and Alumni Group introduced a scholarship for students starting in Years 11 and 12 at Ringwood Secondary College. It was created to encourage students to stay at school and complete their VCE during the difficult times. The scholarship offers $500 assistance towards fees and materials to eligible students who had good results in previous years and are experiencing personal hardship.
Application forms for this Heritage Perpetual Scholarship are now available from the college. The closing date for applications is Friday 18th October 2019 for the 2020 year.
This scholarship has been supported by the early Ringwood High School students who saw a way to give something back to the school that offers practical assistance to these students.
Due to the fund’s low initial capital we could only assist one student per year, but as its capital increased we were able to support 2 students per year. The selection process is done by interviews with committee members and a teacher. With your help this scholarship could be increased to help other needy students to complete their VCE schooling at Ringwood Secondary College.
Further contributions to the fund by other past students would mean more students would receive assistance in the future and perhaps interviews may not be necessary.
If you would like to assist this worthy cause, cheques should be made payable to “RSC Heritage Scholarship Fund”.
