Senior School

From the Prefects

Senior School has hit the ground running with the beginning of 2017 being as jam-packed and busy as ever! Year 11s are transitioning well into the brand new world of VCE, and the Year 12s have made a swift jump into a big year with a strong work ethic and eagerness to achieve.

The MEC study skills day at Deakin University was a particular highlight in understanding how to “study smarter”, as well as learning alongside students from other schools and exploring a University campus.

Year 11 Level Leader Ciara Lumsden, says, “Everyone is excited for the year to come, many looking forward to the study skills day on Tuesday, Deb in May and Central Australia camp in June.”

Other memorable moments include the Swimming Carnival and House Activities:

“The swimming carnival was full of colour and competition this year, with an amazing turn out, especially from our senior cohort!

There were some crazy and creative costumes, and even a surprise appearance from wonder woman, Macleod Kayne. New activities including the water polo and the waterslides were readily tried out by our senior students. The day was not without entertainment, with the pop up music lounge, inflatable races, and a student vs. teacher dive off! Of course, our day would not be complete without Year 12 student Sophie Caldwell beating 6 previously held records by herself and also Miss Asbury!

It was a wonderful last swimming carnival for the years 12s.”

Sports Prefect, Sam Middlemast.

“Last Tuesday students from years 11 and 12 participated in their very first house activities for the year. Lead by the House Prefects, the students competed in tug-of-war, hoola-hoop race, tunnel ball and three-legged race to win points for their houses. Whilst Frazer pulled ahead in the beginning, it was Mabo who claimed victory on the day. It was great to see so many students get involved in the events as well as seeing our hard work to implement a greater house spirit here at Ringwood in action.”

On behalf of the House Prefects, Jasmine Arthur.
