Good afternoon everyone,

Walking in Truth

In last week’s newsletter, reference was made to the launch of  “Walking in Truth”, our whole school approach to providing a Safe, Responsible and Respectful environment for our community. At today’s College Assembly, a short presentation was made to the whole community again outlining the initiative with explicit reference to how it should look on our College Oval during breaks. Below are two examples of some of the signage that has been created that will be placed around the site or contained in documentation relating to “Walking in Truth” . It is anticipated that through the publication and continued reference to these guidelines that we will continue to maintain and improve the safety and wellbeing of all members of our College.

Years Seven and  Eight Brainstorm Productions presentations

We have been fortunate to secure the services of Brainstorm Productions, an organisation who perform dramatic productions that address issues relating to a range of contemporary social and wellbeing issues. Last week they performed “Cyberia”, which explores the world of cyber safety, bullying and harassment and conflict resolution in a school context to our Year Sevens. They are returning on Monday March 29 to perform to Year Eight.This performance is explicitly linked to subject matter contained in the Year Seven and Eight PDHPE program, has elements with our RCS syllabus as well as a key focus for our pastoral teams. This will allow our Year Seven and Eight teams to reinforce and build upon much of the content matter contained in the presentation.

Thanks again for your support throughout the first term. Have a peaceful and restful Easter.

Mr Simon Huntly

Pastoral Care and Wellbeing Coordinator
