On Wednesday the 16th of May Reddam House sent its best soccer players to represent Independent Sydney and Districts Schools in the AICES Soccer Championships at Parklea. In the ISD team 9 out of the 12 boys were from Reddam and the team created history becoming the first ISD side to ever win the AICES Championships. Despite losing George Malesevic early through injury and at times playing with only 10 men the Reddam boys showed tremendous heart and courage to pull off this historic feat. ISD were undefeated on the day and took out the grand final against Hills Zone 3-1. The defensive efforts of Aaron Bland, Alex Mars, Sigen A and Yianni Spyrakis made sure Goalkeeper Yossi Segal was well protected giving away very few chances. Yossi had a strong tournament conceding only 2 goals throughout the day. Daniel and Thomas Bonomy were explosive in the midfield controlling play with outstanding skill and tenacity. Both boys scored goals during the day and their tackling created many opportunities. Up front Oliver Close tore apart the opposition with his blistering speed. He scored 8 goals in 4 games and created many more opportunities. Reddam House also had 4 boys selected to represent AICES at the upcoming CIS Championships, Yianni Spyrakis, Oliver Close, Thomas Bonomy and Daniel Bonomy who was selected as a shadow player. Congratulations to all the boys on their outstanding performance. @REDDAM—The Reddam House High School Newsletter Volume 16, Issue 3, Friday 18 th May 2012 Page 4 BASKETBALL BRILLIANCE Last weekend Reddam fielded eight of our teams in the Grand Finals of the Sydney Comets Basketball Association.

L to R Two former Ancient History students, Giordi Poli and Axel Rogers. Giordi is majoring in Ancient History and Archeology and was the lecturer for Reddam House students for the day. Year 11 group in the Artifacts room. Eager to get out of the classroom and expand our knowledge and understanding of the past, on the 9th May, Year 11 Ancient History embarked on an excursion to the Nicholson Museum at Sydney University. Upon arrival we met our guide and to Mrs. Price’s great surprise and delight the person who would be showing us through the museum was one of her former Reddam House Ancient History students, Giordi Poli. After an introduction we proceeded to enter the world of the Ancient Egyptian's, examining the fascinating coffins and mummies; from priests to a young boy, mummies that didn't properly fit in their coffin, a mummified cat and a wrapping containing what looked about the size of a kitten but actually turned out to be a pile of chicken bones. We looked at the coffins and used the detailed artwork and hieroglyphics as well as the materials the coffins were made of, to try and guess who the person was, how old they were and what period they were from. We also looked at different ways of dating and interpreting the remains. After the Egyptian Exhibit we toured the rest of the museum comparing different poetry, looking at artifacts from famous sites such as Pompeii and Athens, discussing the ethics and ownership of artifacts and looking at the busts of the famous Emperors Claudius and Augustus. I personally found our tour of the museum incredibly interesting. Giordi was really knowledgeable, friendly and very apt at connecting the artifacts we viewed with what we had been learning as well as giving us background to our upcoming topics. The excursion was thoroughly enjoyable and instructive for the whole class.

We walked in to a classroom like space but were astonished by the 19 boxes covering the desk, each filled with about 5 artifacts, from ancient Rome, Egypt, Pompeii, Medieval Europe and many more. We were allowed to handle the artifacts provided we wore gloves. Our guide for the day, Giordi Poli, assisted us in deciphering certain facts about objects of our choice from the boxes. We sketched the object, tried to estimate a date/period from which it came, what it was used for, and much more. We learnt a lot about how to decide what artifacts may have been used for and it was a really fascinating and memorable experience being able to hold the ancient artifacts that we learn about and see in books during class.

Seeing the play brought to life in this dynamic and accessible production enabled students to gain a real insight into the style and fundamental conventions of Shakespearian drama. Students commented very favourably on the production's overall clarity and energy. The second half of our day was devoted to discovering the Inner Shakespeare: Students were introduced to Haiku and Free Verse poetry and spent a couple of hours writing their own compositions, inspired by artworks in the gardens and the natural environment itself. Below are some of their efforts. Very well done! It was just wonderful to see so many of you writing away so busily, searching for the right syllable count, metaphor or simile...

Danny Gordos Samuel Goodman @REDDAM—The Reddam House High School Newsletter Volume 16, Issue 3, Friday 18 th May 2012 Page 13 CHINESE To encourage the practical use of Chinese and gain a more profound understanding of Chinese culture, a Chinese Pen Pal Club will be set up for interested Year 8 Chinese Continuers in Term Two. This Chinese Pen Pal Club will work closely with the High School Affiliated to Minjiang University in Fuzhou, a city in the southeast of China. Ms. You, the head of English at the school has been contacted and has agreed to set up the club by arranging pen pals for our students. Year 8 Chinese Continuers who participate in this activity will have Year 8 Chinese native speaking students from this high school in China as pen pals and will be able to communicate with them bilingually in Chinese and English using email. Here are some pictures of the High School Affiliated to Minjiang University.

Whilst one result in isolation does not tell us much about a student’s performance, I feel that it is very useful that a test result can be put beside the previous results for parents to gauge their child’s progress. Personally I do not put a great amount of emphasis on NAPLAN per se but I do feel that they provide useful feedback to individuals on a number of levels. For me the most telling feature of the NAPLAN results on the My Schools website is the strong correlation between a school’s performance and its postcode. It is no surprise to me that NSW ranks so highly and that the top schools are clustered around the eastern suburbs and north shore of Sydney. Our students are at a huge advantage simply because of demographics. But what the results can’t measure are the intangible qualities that define a good school. In my opinion a good school has three main features. Firstly is the ability of the leaders of the school to create an environment in which academic excellence is nurtured, encouraged and rewarded. Secondly is the ”roundedness” of the activities available to the student body. In this regard a strong cultural programme is essential, and the more eclectic the better, with a strong emphasis on creative and performing arts. Thirdly is the presence of good classroom instruction. None of the above will feature on the My Schools website. But at Reddam House all of the above is in evidence in spades. To measure it you just need to read the weekly newsletter, or walk around the campuses or stop and chat to the students. Reddam House students are incredibly confident, capable and creative. These things will not be revealed with pen and paper testing. They will be on display continually and are easy to miss when so many extraordinary things happen on a day to day basis as they do at Reddam House. It is a joy to work here. Brad Palmer. @REDDAM—The Reddam House High School Newsletter Volume 16, Issue 3, Friday 18 th May 2012 Page 15 MUSIC NEWS On Monday 14th May Reddam House held its annual Wind and Brass Competition and the evening turned out to be a fabulous affair. A total of 18 performers from Year 3 to Year 11 appeared on stage and dazzled the audience and adjudicator with their talent. Jason Noble, the adjudicator, stated that he thoroughly enjoyed the evening and remarked at the level of accomplishment that our students demonstrated. In the Primary Section he awarded Highly Commended to: Zali Wrublewski; Elijah Thomas; Aaron Leiberfreund; and Tomas Hall. 3rd Place went to Sam Cleary who performed ‘Voi Che Sapete’ by Mozart; 2nd Place went to Max Cullen Feng who played ‘Banana Rag’ by Hare 1st Place was awarded to Tate Kemeny who performed ‘Blowin’ Cool’ by Rae. In the Intermediate Section Mr. Noble commended on the musicality of our students in relation to phrasing and expressiveness. 3rd Place went to Nicole Clennar who performed the ‘Sicilienne’ by Faure. 2nd Place went to Emma Styles playing ‘Work Song’ by Abberley. 1st Place was awarded to a very musical Christian Alsop performing ‘Sweet Embraceable You by Gershwin. The Senior Section was very competitive and challenged the adjudicator to select a clear winner! He awarded : Highly Commended to Oliver Close who performed the second movement of the ‘Haydn Trumpet Concert in E Flat Major Hob.VIIe1.’ 3rd Place presented a problem for him and so he awarded a joint placing to Brain Ee performing the ‘Intermezzo No.2 Opus 13’ by Stanford , and Sophie Bowen-James performing ‘Miss Celie’s Blues’ by Quincy Jones. 1st and 2nd were tight and the distinguishing element on this occasion was ensemble balance! 2nd Place went to a blistering performance from Zak Hamieri who played ‘Pass the Peas’ by Parker and 1st Place went to Charlie Jeong with a near perfect performance of the first and second movements of the ‘Sonata in G Major for Oboe’ by Sammartini. A very warm Thank You to Mr. Oliver Stanton, the school accompanist, for his work over the last two weeks preparing the students and for his supportive work during the concert. He performed some difficult works and visited many styles throughout the evening demonstrating his accomplishment and diversity of talent. @REDDAM—The Reddam House High School Newsletter Volume 16, Issue 3, Friday 18 th May 2012 Page 16 @REDDAM—The Reddam House High School Newsletter Volume 16, Issue 3, Friday 18 th May 2012 Page 17 @REDDAM—The Reddam House High School Newsletter Volume 16, Issue 3, Friday 18 th May 2012 Page 18 ART SPACE Year 11 have investigated the changing genre of Portraiture and the varied emotions of colour. @REDDAM—The Reddam House High School Newsletter Volume 16, Issue 3, Friday 18 th May 2012 Page 19 ART SPACE @REDDAM—The Reddam House High School Newsletter Volume 16, Issue 3, Friday 18 th May 2012 Page 20 REDDAM To watch our students participate in this great cause please go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2zJUT09YX-o SWIMMING Our Swimming carnival was a great success!

There are only seven actors within the cast, and each actor has multiple characters to portray. Our costumes are just a base to represent the fashion era of 1938 - 1942; due to this we have added these extra props to demonstrate the change of character. We will visibly make these changes of costume on stage to further inform the audience of when an actor changes character. The fashion of WW2 depicts the struggles of the lower class and the wealth of the aristocracy, in Britain clothing was strictly rationed as the army limited the supply of khaki and army colours, which restricted the public’s access to those colours and types of suitable fabrics for the time. This lead to the hairstyles being elaborate, as women aimed to turn the attention away from their clothing. 1940s hair can be replicated with just a few tools: bobby pins, hair elastics, curlers or a curling iron, a comb and a hairbrush. Throughout this time the women began to join the work force, they adapted their day wear to a more masculine approach with suits, skirts at or near knee-length, with simply-cut blouses or shirts and square-shouldered jackets. Here are some pictures of the 1940’s styling that we aim to replicate in our rendition of Theresa by Julia Pascal.
