Welcome to our second eNewsletter and we hope you are enjoying the new format.  The statistics show that for our first edition more than 2 out of 3 newsletters were opened in the week it was sent out – this is a much better rate of Newsletters reaching home than the crumpled up copies in the bottom of school bags!  Other comments have included that families have appreciated the easily readability format on electronic devices.  If you have any further feedback on the newsletter (or anything else for that matter) please drop us a line to dl.0794.info@schools.sa.edu.au

Staffing

This week we farewell and thank Alex Woodman who has been covering Heidi Stanojevic, who has been on leave. Welcome back to Heidi, who returns for sports day announcing and then classes from Monday. 

Student Free Day

Student Free Days are a valuable time for learning as a staff collective and Tuesday's SFD was a day well spent. Staff were here early to prepare for their group sessions and the Taco lunch prepared by the RHS Staff Social Club was a huge hit!

"Bullying! No Way! Day.

This is always an important day on the school calendar and the public awareness campaign which supports it, it is a valuable resource for families to learn about how we can work together towards ensuring our young people feel confident to speak up. Keep a look out on the RHS Facebook page, and in this Newsletter for some great resources.

Another important day on our school calendar is the RHS Sports Day on Friday and I am looking forward to catching up with students and parents throughout the day.

Kind Regards

Mat Evans
