Dear Parents & Caregivers,

It is unbelievable that this week we are heading into autumn and that our wettest summer in years due to La Nina has come to a close. Students are well and truly into their stride and the rhythm and predictability of the term are comforting.

All extracurricular activities, both sport and cultural are ensuring a very active school life for students involved and I report on a number of those today: Many of our sports teams are entering the representa- tive phase of the summer calendar where zone cham- pionships occur. Having left ISD at the end of last year and joined the CDSSA association of schools, Mr. Ka- ble, together with our coaches and students, are get- ting a feel for a competition that is far more competi- tive than that to which we had previously been ex- posed. What a great learning curve for all as we strive Mr Cooper who takes the U12 Boy’s Cricket Team re- to meet the challenge and adapt. This week saw the ported that “On Sunday morning the Reddam Ravens swimming championships held at Warringah Aquatic took on Easts Fireballs in the penultimate game of the Centre on Monday (full results on page 4). season. The conditions at Booralee suited runs on the board, so the Ravens decided to have a bat first after Next Wednesday the tennis players have their turn. The winning the toss. Abdullah Khurram saved one of his touch football competition was won by both our Junior best batting performances of the year for the end of and Senior boys teams with both Girl’s teams losing on the season, with a blistering knock of 37* from 43 balls, a drop off in the final and being awarded the silver that included 7 boundaries. He was well supported by medal. Oscar Bakes (10 from 24) and Nathan Ross (13 from 32). It was good to see Aidan Fuzi dig in this week, spending some time in the middle for a score of 9. The Ravens finished the innings with a score of 4-102, of which they should feel proud as the collapse that has haunted them all season was prevented through good, smart, defensive batting. This week they will need to use de- fense as a form of attack and look to score more runs through quick singles and splitting the field. The open- ing bowling trio of Oscar Bakes, Abdullah Khurram, and Idan Olovitz all bowled beautifully in the early overs, keeping the run rate to a minimum and each snaring a wicket in the process. It was great to see plenty of maiden overs being bowled, indicating that they are understanding the fundamentals of line and length bowling. At drinks, the boys were looking good at 5/43 and they could taste a potential victory.

On the last ball of the game, the scores were tied, with a single required to win the game and take the biscuits. Bowled! Idan Olovitz knocks leg stump out of the ground to save the Ravens and the match is a tie. Well done boys, the last couple of games you have stepped up to the plate and played some great crick- et, finishing the season on a high note. This weekend we come up against the fancied Concord Briars Black, who sit in second place and desperately need a win to make it into the grand final. This is an incentive to make things difficult for them and treat it as your own grand final. Good luck and enjoy your last game of the sea- son.”

On the cultural front, Mia Seisun represented Reddam House at the Lions "Youth Of the Year" competition, where she was required to participate in an interview with a panel last Sunday and a public speaking event on Tuesday evening. She was required to present a speech of five minutes’ duration and respond to two Our Year 11 students visited the Art Express Exhibition at impromptu questions (with no preparation at all). the Art Gallery of NSW.
