  • Rites of Passage Booklet 2018 Copy
    Oxley College Year 9 Rites of Passage, 2018 Welcome! During the last three weeks of Term 2, Oxley College Year 9 students will complete a residential programme in Sydney where they will learn in museums, galleries, universities, theatres and the historically rich urban environment of Sydney’s CBD. The Rites of Passage Sydney programme has been designed around psychologist Michael Carr-Greg’s identified needs for 14 and 15 year olds: emancipation from parents; strong, healthy friendships, vocational direction; and a strong sense of personal identity. We have developed a cross-curriculum academic programme around the theme “Identity - Telling Your Story”. It includes tours, workshops and lectures at Macquarie University, University of Technology Sydney, Macquarie University, Art Gallery of NSW, ABC Studios, Foreshore Authority, The Sydney Jewish Museum, Museum of Human Disease, the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Museum of Contemporary Art, Australian Film and Television School, Australian Centre for Field Robotics and Cockatoo Island. The purpose of this innovative programme is to expose students to ideas, people and phenomena that could never be accessed in a conventional classroom. We want to ignite students’ passion for what the future holds and the learning journey they are on. The Rites of Passage programme for Year 9 marks a significant transition toward life as a senior student. After the exhilaration of starting High School and before the challenge of the Higher School Certificate, the Rites of Passage programme provides an unforgettable, transitional moment in the lives of Oxley students. Regards, Michael Parker Headmaster Oxley College hrough the Rites of Passage programme we hope you will make a transition toward the maturity and wisdom of adulthood.

When the owner of the land on which their playhouse, The Theatre, was located tried to seize ownership of the building, Shakespeare's theatre company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, was forced to take the drastic action of dismantling their building in the dead of night and reassembling it outside the boundaries of the city council area. They had already lost their second venue, Blackfriars, because wealthy local residents complained about the noise and traffic it would create; so if they had lost the building materials from the structure of The Theatre as well, the result would almost certainly have spelt the end of the company for which Shakespeare wrote most of his greatest works. And without the renown of his later works, even some of his earlier ones might have slipped into obscurity and been lost to us, like so many other plays from the period. The closure of two performance spaces in the Tap Gallery at Darlinghurst recently was a disaster for the independent theatre sector, but this is the mere tip of the iceberg.
