TEACHER COMMENTS - FAREWELL TO OUR YEAR 12 STUDENTS

Exams are over!

I'd like to spend a little time congratulating the year 12s of 2020. Not only have they taken on the year with enthusiasm and persistence, but they've survived the year unscathed. 

To my year 12 Psychology class, I'd like to thank you for the year that was. We've battled the content, had some laughs and got to the end (barely). I'm so proud of you all, showing resilience and grace as 2020 gave one last kick and made SACE exam history. The future of SACE will look back and hold its standards a little higher from here... thanks to you! Not sure how I'm going to spend my Friday afternoons now, but I wish you all luck in whatever the future holds for you. It sure is bright! 
Miss Yates

Year 12 Essential English 

Firstly, I would like to congratulate all of the year 12 cohort of 2020. It has been a difficult, and somewhat unfair year that you have had to navigate, and for most of you, you have done so with poise and maturity.  

Congratulations to all of those who undertook and finished Stage 2 Essential English in 2020. Although I aged ten years, lost another 5cm of my hair line and had to put another hole in my belt, I thoroughly enjoyed teaching you as a combined class. The learning outcomes that most of you achieved were fantastic and I applaud you for the time and effort you put in order to be successful. I wish you all the very best for your future. 

Mr. Clark 

To the class of 2020

Congratulations on completing your schooling in what has been an extremely challenging and bizarre year. The way you have overcome adversity was highlighted by how the Psychology class handled the exam crash with such maturity and dignity.  These attributes will benefit you all greatly as you move to the next phase of your life and I wish you all the best in anything that you do, be that joining the workforce, taking a gap year or completing further study. 

Mr. Young

English Year 12

Congratulations to all of the year 12s who completed their final senior year of high school. Your commitment to learning in 2020 is to be commended. I wish you all the best of luck in the future and remember to keep on reading. Reading will fill your mind with inspiration, ideas and a wealth of knowledge for years to come. Keep smiling!

Mrs. Elliott

Congratulations Class of 2020!

Despite the number of grey hairs you have given me, I wish you all the very best for your future. I have watched you all grow academically, emotionally, and vertically (most of you came to RHS taller than me). Some of you even leave here a little bit more mature than when you came. I am incredibly proud of how hard you have all pushed yourselves and all the things you have achieved. Good luck for your future endeavours.

Mrs. Farrelly

Volleyball Coach 

I would like to thank the senior girls’ volleyball team for having me as their coach. When I first saw you play in year 8, I thought to myself “Wow, they’re not very good, but they have huge potential”. And boy did you prove me right! Two silver medals in Melbourne is a fantastic achievement and something you should be really proud of. Your commitment to trainings and games has also been exemplary, and has been a massive contributor to your success. I wish you all the very best for your future. 

Mr. Clark 

Congratulations and all the best to the Year 12s of 2020.

You’ve all battled through the challenges that have come your way this year and most of you have knuckled down and got everything done. Even though I didn’t have a year 12 class this year I’ve really enjoyed being involved in our care group ‘Joke of the Day’ and BT challenges with 122 taking out the overall trophy. 

Thanks again for the year and all the best in the future. Please don’t be a stranger and pop in and say hi.

Mr. Camplin 

Congratulations to the class of 2020 on finishing your schooling career.

You have shown resilience getting through a somewhat strange final year of school. You arrived as year 8s in my first year of teaching at Renmark High, and it’s been my pleasure watching you grow and develop as individuals.

Thank you to my Nutrition class for being a wonderful year 12 class this year. I’ve looked forward to our lessons and have really enjoyed teaching you – even when you were teasing me.

Goodbye, and good luck with all your future endeavours!

Miss. Schiller

Well done Year 12s!

You have succeeded in a very trying year and you will all be better people for it! There has never been a year 12 school year quite like this one as it takes its place in the history annuls. 

To my Modern History class, if we skipped back to the start of the year to the point where I outlined the assessment tasks and exam requirements - many of you doubted your ability to be successful. Yet here we are! A significant amount of hard work and practice has paid off! I really enjoyed your thirst for learning history concepts, desire to achieve , the endless drafts, your love for my stories (well at least your ability to fake love for them) your interest in current events and news and your desire to know who my Number 1 is! Loved the humour at the end of the year as well! 

Best of luck in your future - please don't be strangers, come back and say hi!
