Welcome back

Welcome back and I hope students had a great holiday break to recharge ready for term 4. 

Year 7 transition

We have enjoyed having the year 6 students visiting our school and participating in lessons as part of their transition program.   It is always exciting to be part of a student’s introduction to school life in their secondary school journey.  These visits are as much about our staff getting to know students as students getting to know us and our school.  We are looking forward to their next visit when they return for two whole days of high school!

Year 12 class of 2022

Year 12 is the culmination of 13 years of schooling, and students are now very close to the finish with Renmark High School year 12 students attending their last scheduled lessons this week. We wish the year 12s all the very best at this important time of year for their final assessments, moderations and examinations, and look forward to hearing how they have achieved their goals.

World Teachers' Day

World Teachers' day was celebrated last Friday. I would like to take the opportunity to publically recognise the fantastic teachers we have at Renmark High School and their commitment to student outcomes. Teaching is a demanding profession that requires not only in-depth knowledge of subject content but also how to teach it so that each student can experience success. Our teachers use their many varied skills such as patience, leadership, creativity, innovation, organisation, preparation, and technology enthusiast to name just a few. So on behalf of the Renmark High School, thank you teachers, your efforts are appreciated!

BYOD program

Next year students in years 9-12 will be required to use a device at school to support their learning. To assist with costs to families we will offer the first 50 students to request a coupon code a $150 discount. Families with students in year 7 and 8 are still eligible for a coupon code. You can request a coupon from dl.0794.finance@schools.sa.edu.au. Students who do not have a device will be able to borrow one from the library, daily. From 2023 all students will be issued with a new locker for the security of devices and personal belongings. To view the purchase and payment option and for further information, please follow the link: http://renmarkhs.sa.edu.au/.../11/RHS-SpecSheets-22-23.pdf

If you would like to purchase before Christmas, the cut off date is 15th November. Our second cut off date is 2nd January 2023, for start of school (Term 1, 2023).
