Newsletter Number 14 December 15, 2009 From Mrs Ward ... Heritage Many of our college families have links to our history and involvement in our planning to celebrate our past and recognize our directions is partly the Heritage focus of RHS/RSC. To those of you who value our traditions and wish to be part of the celebrations in the future we invite you to consider joining the Heritage group. Please come along on Monday 15th February at 7.30pm in the Conference Room. We would delight in the company and support. Debutante Ball – Saturday 13th March - Rehearsals start Tuesday 9th February - All students are reminded of the financial and behavioural expectations - Families are reminded about commitment to their students’ prime education in VCE. - Tickets will be $70 pp - It is a senior social for VCE at Ringwood Secondhand Sale – Thankyou To all members of the Ladies Auxiliary, who were so ably supported by parents in the wider community, the college expresses it gratitude for organising this event. Without so many giving so much in time and energy, many families would not benefit. The proceeds of this venture will be presented to council early in 2010. All monetary refunds are to be collected from the General office by the end of February. Parent Engagement in 2010 Share in your student’s learning. Be involved in supporting college programs. Learn about new directions. Meet with folk of similar interests. RSC offers opportunities for parent engagement.
