Dear Parent/Caregivers,
What magnificent weather we enjoyed for the holidays. Summer is well and truly here
and with it the lifting of everyone’s spirits. Welcome back to the final term of 2014.
There have been a number of wonderful student achievements during these holidays
that are noteworthy:
Sam Newton is back from the Youth World Cup where he
ended up as one of the top 45 climbers in the world. The
Australian Team did well; getting 6 climbers through to
the semi-finals. He has been invited to compete in the
Oceania Boulder competition in the Blue Mountains
in October.
Miles Davis’s NSW State hockey team is doing extremely
well, sitting top of the ladder. They have had 8 wins from 8
games so far with an amazing 51 goals for and only 1
against. Their tournament in Adelaide finishes with matches
against Victoria and Queensland. Should they win those,
they will be National Champions for the
second year running.
Marley Beeson represented NSW Metro at the Football (soccer)
National Championships at Coffs Harbour. The team played exceptionally well and ended up as U13 National Champions.
The Gold Duke of Edinburgh practice pack and paddle led by
Rodney Freed was a four day, three night adventure. The six students started with
paddling in the harbour before heading north to trek the Great North Walk. The students loved being out in the bush and the positive feedback will hopefully see greater numbers get involved in the future.
Ben Pasternak has hit the newspapers with the App that he has developed in collaboration with an American associate. The “Impossible
Rush” has been marketed and during the holidays has been powering
up the App Store charts and is now at #14 on the US App Store. It is
also #2 on the Australian App Store today. He is very excited that finally his hard work is paying off. He has been approached by potential
investors and journalists keen to cover the story. Congratulations Ben:
hopefully this is the start of a wonderful and fulfilling journey. Keep your
feet on the ground.

This week the Year 9 Dance students had their first workshop with the
Sydney Dance Company and “it was amazing” reported Ms. Collier. “The
students did so well and the teacher even mentioned to me what a high
standard they are both as creators and dancers. They certainly did me
proud and it was such a brilliant experience to witness.” So impressed
were the Dance Company with the standard of our students, that they
have offered to extend the workshop to Years 7 and 8 on Tuesday 21st
October.
Having a positive self-esteem is arguably the most important attribute a
teenager can take with them into adulthood. With this in mind we enlisted
the services of teen expert Marina Passalaris, Founder and Author of
Beautiful Minds (www.beautifulminds.com.au) to run a workshop with the
Middle School girls. Marina delivered a dynamic, interactive presentation
to educate and empower our girls on self-esteem, positive self-talk,
elimination of the internal bully and self-respect.
The presentation to the boys by Troy Jones, parent, bestselling author,
film- maker, philanthropist, TV commentator and full time innovator is the
founder of the Real Men Project. Troy shared his life experiences to
illustrate examples and develop conversations around body image,
media portrayal, and domestic violence – and inspired the boys to
consider what being a "real man" is actually all about.
Next week the Year 11 Prize-Giving, Senior Executive Induction and
Platinum programme take place on Wednesday evening 15th October in
the Adelaide Hall.
On Monday the HSC examinations begin and we wish the Year 12 Class of
2014 all the best, as they face the very last hurdle of their school careers.
Good luck.
Have a good week,
Dave Pitcairn.

THEATRE SPORTS
Welcome back to Reddam House Theatre Sports in Term 4!
Last term saw the introduction of Juniors (Years 7-8) and Intermediate (Years 9-10) Theatre Sports at Reddam. We currently
have around 25 Junior Theatre Sports players and 10 Intermediate players who meet each Friday for coaching sessions in the
Drama and Dance rooms at Woollahra. They are coached by
professional Theatre Sports Improvisers from Impro Australia.
These students are very enthusiastic and on the 12th September
the Juniors did their school houses proud in the first Reddam
House Cup Theatre Sports Challenge at the Events
Cinemas. We look forward to many more to come.
If you are interested in joining the Junior or Intermediate Theatre Sports on Fridays between 3.00pm and 4.30pm please contact me at Amanda.Crompton@reddamhouse.com.au.
We look forward to seeing you there,
Amanda Crompton.
