It is a pleasure to be welcoming parents to our Learning Showcases this term. Already, parents with children in Years 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 have joined us in classrooms, and we look forward to welcoming parents of children in Kindergarten (Thursday 14th March) and Year 2 (Monday 11th March).
As I have walked around the classrooms during the showcases it has been a joy to see parents and students learning together.
During the week, I was speaking with some of my Year 12 English students about their upcoming assessments and the conversation soon turned to how they were managing their workloads. Whilst most of them were reasonably positive, some of them expressed feeling a little overwhelmed by their ‘to-do’ lists and about being in Year 12 in general.
With Easter fast approaching, we continue our Chapel series in the Gospel of John. Our big question, ‘What if it is all true?’
Back in John 13, after Jesus had washed his disciples’ feet and then predicts that Judas’ betrayal and instead of trying to stop him when he had the chance, he says to Judas “What you are about to do, do quickly.”
Now in John 18, Judas’ betrayal unfolds.
We began our Semester 1 seasons of the Hills Zone sports competition in Week 5. Below is an outline of the upcoming fixtures and as well as last week’s results.
Good luck to all our teams and coaches!
During assembly last week, the following students were announced as age champions of the College swimming carnival. The winning House was also announced. Congratulations Cuthbert!
We are excited to share that Jessica G's artwork, Heat Escape View, has been selected as part of a showcase at the Suseong-gu International Exchange City Youth Art Exhibition 2024 in South Korea. Her talent and dedication are truly commendable, and I'm sure her participation will make us all proud.
Selected artworks are currently being showcased at Blacktown Arts, and soon, they will be transported to Suseong-gu for the exhibition.
We are excited to announce our annual K-2 Fun Run will be held on Friday, 22 March at the College Ovals.

If your child is in Year 7 or Year 10 this year, you can now provide online consent for their routine school vaccinations.
In Year 7, students are offered free vaccines for diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (dTpa) and human papillomavirus (HPV).
In Year 10, students are offered the meningococcal ACWY vaccine.
Vaccination will only be provided at school if consent has been received. Please click on the links below for more information.
Do you want to improve your child' s results and their understanding of their coursework? If so, this is a great opportunity to receive guided advice and support.
Faculties in the Senior School conduct weekly opt-in study and support sessions for students to attend as they require.
This calendar outlines the nomination (Nom), trial and competition dates for the RHAC Senior School representative sporting pathways (HZSA > AICES > CIS > NSW All Schools > SSA) .
As this is a representative pathway, students who nominate to trial for these teams should have extensive playing experience and in the case of AICES and CIS trials, students be playing in a representative team outside of school at an association or state level. Some sports, such as cricket, require students to be involved in certain representative teams or academies in order for nominations to be accepted. If this is the case, further information will be emailed to students by the Head of Student Opportunities.
Please download the Senior School Representative Sports Calendar – Semester 1 2024 below.
Please find below information on music ensembles, ensemble fees, and Private Music Lessons.
Thank you to all families that had children attend the Junior School disco last Friday. This was a huge success with just short of 600 children from Junior School attending. We trialled a new format this term, which seemed to be well received.
Thank you to the parents that joined in and mingled throughout the event and joined the BBQ. We’re thankful for the 40+ parents that volunteered their time to help make the disco happen!
You may have noticed a name change. We are very excited to be partnering this year with our friends at Coca Cola with fundraising, team membership and community engagement, so look out for some red in the yellow/purple mix.
A close and long time friend of mine is walking the cancer journey. In non-Relay related conversation recently, he shared that as a result of fundraising by Cancer Council NSW, he has been offered a new trial drug that he and his family hope will change the direction in which he presently travels. Trials such as this are not possible without your support, donations and sponsorship. You really do make a difference .
