Last week the students of Rose Bay were packed into the Gym for the Annual SRC assembly. There, many students finally got to meet the new principal and deputy principal. The new school principal, Ms Bright originates from the inner west and has made her way eastward, eventually arriving here on the coast. She imparted upon the students her guide to success which involved a lot of smiling and kindness. To continue on that bright theme the school band performed “Walking on Sunshine”, complete with a swaying quartet of singers, the tonic notes of the saxophone and the somehow pre-organised humming that resonated from the Yr7’s on the Mezzanine.

A new baby for Rose Bay SC
A big thank you to the Broderick family for their generous donation of a baby grand piano. Peter Broderick, father of Freya Broderick in year 8, donated and arranged for the transport of the beautiful instrument. None of this would have happened without the support of the MEP and our music department so thank you too to MEP Director Mr Jackson, Ms Lim, Mr Regina and Mr Wright for all their help and effort in delivering our new baby!
Congratulations class of 2018
Back to school
The first day of high school and the return to school in the new year are busy times for your child – and for the entire family. To help you and your child get organised and enjoy the experience we’ve compiled some useful tips for each year group.
We want every student to be known, valued and cared for in our schools.

Well done Hugo!

STEM escape room
On Friday the STEM Girls participated in an Escape Room at school. The mobile version of Dr Disaster by the Enigma Room was set up at school. The girls worked in small groups together and as a whole team to solve puzzles, riddles, codes and follow clues to lead them to cracking a final code collaboratively.
Comments from Gracie
“All the girls participated and cooperated really well. We shared knowledge with each other and collaborated ideas and eventually we cracked the code and even beat the record! It was a memorable experience and we all had so much fun.”
Community consultation Randwick Boys HS
Should Randwick Boys High School become co-educational?

Valentines day
The Year 12 SRC students were outstanding with their organisation, enthusiasm and exemplary behaviour on the day. They serenaded students and staff, handed out roses and chocolates to students that were lucky enough to have a have special Valentine that had purchased these for them. Over $1,400 was raised on the day and this money will be used by the Year 12 SRC to fund the normal Year 12 annual obligations such as the purchase of a departing gift for the school. A very big thank you also to Ms Moon, Mr Papadakis, Mr Wright and Mr Regina for their work in making the day so memorable and enjoyable. A huge thank you to the GAT Band for their stellar performance at lunch time in the plaza. The day was a wonderful event for students and staff and I’d like to thank everyone involved for making the day so special.
