A message from Principal Hartley

A message from Principal Hartley

As Term 3 draws to a close, we have much to celebrate. I have enjoyed dropping into classrooms over the last 9 weeks to see teachers explain concepts clearly and watch students engage positively with challenging learning tasks. The Year 6 learning showcase on Tuesday was impressive. Several students shared with me what they had learnt in their science project and were rightly proud of the displays they created.

I was equally impressed by the recent Junior School public speaking competition . I had the difficult challenge of judging the finals. Every student who competed spoke engagingly and persuasively. Many spoke without notes and provided a great deal of specific information.

Our Year 12 students and their teachers have worked very hard over the last two years. I look forward to warmly recognising our graduating students at a special Valedictory assembly at the end of next week. I trust that our graduates will look back with fondness on their time at RHAC and that the College vision has been a reality for them.

To be a united, Christian learning community committed to taking opportunities, serving and achieving.

While it is my great desire that all students maximise their academic results so that they will have a range of options to choose from when they finish school, a Christian learning community seeks to develop students holistically. We want our students to understand themselves and others deeply and know how to relate positively with a variety of people, including those who see the world differently. I trust that our school has contributed to the holistic development of our graduating students. We wish them God’s blessing and every success for the future.

The recent Anglican Schools Corporation review was a very positive process. I greatly appreciate the time that our parents invested into their survey responses. A significant proportion of our staff were able to have a confidential conversation with a member of the visiting review team where they could share their perspective on the school. I look forward to receiving the final report in coming weeks. This will help me and the leadership team to celebrate our strengths and develop practical strategies to respond to suggested areas for improvement.

Relationships are fundamental in a Christian school, especially our relationship with God and our relationships with each other. However, it is important to remember that well-designed buildings and outdoor spaces help to promote quality relationships. We recently rebuilt our Pre K playground , which has been very warmly embraced by our youngest students. Watching children play and connect with each other in this extensively renovated environment is a great joy. I thank the P &F for their generous contribution towards the cost of the playground.

Anyone who drives past the front of the school cannot miss our impressive new Senior School building . This building is mainly dedicated to STEM – the ground floor will have brand-new technology rooms, the first floor is dedicated to Science and the top floor to Maths. The new building will also house Visual Arts rooms, a Drama room and a new canteen. I remain hopeful that we will be able to move in to these fabulous new rooms at the beginning of next year. When we do some of the portable buildings will be removed. Over time we will renovate and re-purpose the old science labs, art rooms and technology spaces.

This is my last newsletter article for the term. Mrs Bromley and Dr Chalwell will contribute articles in the newsletter next week. I trust that all school families will have time to rest and enjoy each other’s company over the spring break.

From the Scriptures

I am Christ’s ambassador

I am Christ’s ambassador

2 Corinthians 5:17-21

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors , as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

As we have been going through our identity in Christ, there is one that often doesn’t get talked about a lot. I am Christ’s ambassador.

As an ambassador, we are his representatives in this world and our words and actions matter. The question is; do we take our role seriously?

How are you going as Christ’s ambassador?

Senior School sports news & results

In this week's Senior School sports: HZSA Sports results and NWSRC Intermediate Rugby .

Check out the results below.

HZSA Sports Results

NWSRC Intermediate Rugby

The Intermediate Boys Rugby team secured their first win of the season in thrilling fashion with a hard-fought victory against William Clarke College on Tuesday. In a tightly contested match, both teams showcased skill and determination, but it was our boys who triumphed in the end.

With the score locked at 12-12 in the final minutes, the game was destined to be a nail-biter. A brilliant team effort led to a dramatic winning try, sealing the game 19-12 in RHAC's favour. The victory was a testament to the boys' perseverance and teamwork, with every player stepping up under pressure.

Congratulations to the team and Mr Lambert on their first win of the season! They will look to carry this momentum forward when they face off against William Clarke College again in their next match on the 17th October at William Clarke College.

Year 7 Pinball Machine Project & Year 10 Arcade Game Project

Year 7 Pinball Machine Project & Year 10 Arcade Game Project

Students created some amazing projects using a wide variety of skills to build some nostalgic pinball machines and arcade games!

Our Year 7 TAS students put their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test and have been designing and building their own pinball machines. This hands-on project encourages them to explore both the engineering and artistic aspects of these classic games while developing their design thinking skills.


Our Year 10 IST students have been working on designing and coding their own arcade games. This project allows them to dive into the world of game development, reliving memories of the classic arcade games we used to enjoy while learning valuable skills in technology, Python coding, and game design principles.

The Year 6 Science Fair on Energy

The Year 6 Science Fair on Energy

This week, our Year 6 students showcased their scientific knowledge at our annual Science Fair. The theme of the fair was "Energy Transformation," and the students did an incredible job demonstrating how energy can be converted from one form to another in everyday situations.

There was a very high standard of presentation and understanding. The brilliant projects ranged from Lemon Batteries, where students turned chemical energy into electricity, to Solar Ovens, which transformed sunlight into thermal energy capable of cooking marshmallows! One student even built a Wind-Powered Car that used wind energy to set their vehicle in motion. Other highlights included a a homemade electroscope and a Water Wheel Power project, where students showed how mechanical energy could light up a bulb. The ever-popular Balloon-Powered Cars were also a hit, converting elastic energy into motion.

A big congratulations to all the Year 6 scientists for their hard work, innovation, and enthusiasm! The fair demonstrated that our students fully understand the research process related to their science fair project. They were able to write a research plan, collect, manage and present data and conduct an investigation.

Thank you to all the parents or grandparents who mentored students during the process.

Junior School public speaking & poetry recital finals

Junior School public speaking & poetry recital finals

Our recent Junior School Public Speaking Competition was a resounding success, showcasing the incredible talent and confidence of our young speakers. Students from Year 3 – 6 took to the stage to present a wide variety of topics, and we were all impressed by their ability to speak with clarity, expression and poise. From informative to persuasive speeches, the presentations were engaging and often thought-provoking.

A special congratulations to our Year 2 Poetry Recital Competition winners, who confidently presented their poems with remarkable enthusiasm and expression. Their performances added a delightful touch to the event and truly showcased their growing confidence in public speaking.

Thank you to the parents who attended. Your presence made the occasion even more special and your appreciation for the students' hard work was clear. A heartfelt thank you to our amazing teachers for their unwavering support in guiding our students through the process of crafting their speeches and teaching them the skills to present with confidence and poise.

In addition to the impressive speakers, the students who attended as part of the audience were equally commendable. They were respectful and fully engaged throughout the event, creating a warm and encouraging atmosphere for their peers on stage.

A huge congratulations to all the students who participated - whether as finalists or presenting in class. Your dedication and enthusiasm were evident, and you should all be incredibly proud of your achievements. We look forward to seeing even more inspiring performances in the future.

Celebrating our new Pre-K Playground - official opening

Celebrating our new Pre-K Playground - official opening

We’re thrilled to share that our new PreK playground was officially opened with great excitement and joy! The playground was officially opened last week by Principal Hartley, Dr Chalwell (Head of Junior School), Ms Prish Govender (Early Stage Coordinator) and Pre-K teachers. Mrs Claire Sullivan was also in attendance as she was part of the vision in creating a welcoming, safe and enjoyable space for our youngest students.

Parents and families gathered last week to celebrate this special occasion, exploring and enjoying the brand-new play equipment alongside our little ones.

The event was a fantastic success, with smiles all around and plenty of laughter. A big thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this day memorable. Here’s to many happy hours of play and discovery on our new playground!

Special thanks go to our P&F and their generous donors who were able to contribute significant funding to this project, which is greatly appreciated.

The College would also like to thank Urban Landscape Projects for making our vision come to life and transforming the space into something students, families and staff can enjoy for years to come.

Library News - SORA reading app, book donations & overdue books

Library News - SORA reading app, book donations & overdue books

As school holidays approach, we would like to encourage you to read with your children during the break. When travelling it can be cumbersome to take enough physical books, digital reading can assist with this problem.

This week, we have been introducing the SORA reading app (mentioned in our previous newsletter ) to our Stage 3 classes. It is also available for use by students in Years 1-6.

This app has a large range of, both audio and readable, books for students Year 1-6. We have set the app to only allow appropriate texts for K-6 for our students to use. The app works on a borrowing system much like borrowing the physical book. After borrowing, students have access to the book for a period of 2 weeks at which time they can renew for longer if no-one else has it on reserve. Students use their school email address and school login password to access the SORA library.

If parents are unsure if a book their child would like to read is at an appropriate content level, they can check if it is available on SORA, if it is not, there is a good chance the book is not suitable for younger readers. Each book on SORA has an information section that includes recommended age.

Sora is an award-winning digital reading app that empowers K-12 students to discover age-appropriate ebooks, audiobooks and more from their school library. Backed by the largest, most diverse catalogue of digital books available to schools, Sora provides students with access to curriculum titles and leisure reading. The app is available to download to your device and with the student school email address and password, our students are able to use the app for free.

Book Donations

We were very excited to send home the donated books for first time borrowing with the students who donated them. Again, thank you for your support of our library in this way.

Overdue Books

We have a small number of very overdue books, when these books are not returned or we are notified that they are lost an account is generated for the replacement cost of the book (plus and admin fee). We regularly send reminders to try to assist parents to avoid this happening, but understand that sometimes books go missing.

If you currently have any overdue books as at home we ask that they be returned as soon as possible. If the book has gone missing or you believe it has been returned please notify the library as soon as possible, so we can check at school as well.

Cyberbullying - educating students on positive online behaviours

Cyberbullying - educating students on positive online behaviours

With recent events and new research, the issue of cyberbullying has unfortunately again emerged as a leading concern for young people. With new digital platforms, discussion around age restrictions and ‘ teen accounts’ , young people are more vulnerable than ever to inappropriate behaviour online. These new developments highlight the need for increased awareness and prevention strategies to protect young people in an increasingly connected world.

At Rouse Hill Anglican College, we endeavour to educate students on positive online behaviours that show care to all members of the community. Our wellbeing staff work closely with leading cyber safety organisations to provide students with the tools to be safe online.

If you would like more information on what cyberbullying is and how parents can partner with schools, I encourage you to contact Mrs Emma Bourke (Head of Year 7-9) or myself (Head of Year 10-12). Alternatively, the eSafety Commissioner provides a comprehensive parent guide – Click Here

This is a big year for the P&F with our biennial Spring Fair. As the saying goes: many hands make light work. If you’ve been considering how you can get involved, this is your opportunity. All parents/carers are welcome to attend, regardless of your involvement in the committee.

This year, we're excited to announce the Spring Fair, a major fundraising event in the 2024 calendar. We welcome your support in planning and participating throughout the year as many hands make light work. Businesses interested in sponsorship or supplying goods or services are encouraged to reach out.

Family Support Meals

From time to time, fellow families at the College are hit by unforeseen stresses (physical, emotional, financial, etc.). The RHAC P&F, through your support, facilitates a way for those families to access quality meals in their time of need to simply ease a bit of the pain during difficult times.

You can help by donating a store-bought meal, or by donating as little as $10 by clicking the link below which would be greatly appreciated. If you can provide a store-bought meal for the freezer, slices / banana breads / muffins (lunch box fillers) and desserts are also most welcome and may be dropped off with Mrs Sharon D’Agostino at the College main reception.
