Thank you and farewell to the 2022 SRC Captains
It has also been an absolute honour to see you all grow into leaders. It is no small sacrifice you have made during your final year of schooling, with all the extra responsibilities that it entails. We can only hope that you take these leadership experiences, your drive, your problem solving, your passion in making Rose Bay a great place for all, into whatever field and whatever community and whatever bright future you choose.
I would like to thank Nicola, Timothy, Zara, Will, Aliza, Alejandro, Chaii Ki, Maya, Talia, Alexia, Oliver, Maya, Toby and Nicholas for all their service to Rose Bay Secondary College.

Ultimate Frisbee State Championships
On Monday the 29 August, a group of 15 Year 12 boys went to Meadowbank Park to compete in the Senior State Championships of Ultimate Frisbee. They competed against 16 other teams from across New South Wales in 6 games across the day. The RBSC team made their way through the day winning game after game, only losing in the semi-finals to be put into the bronze medal match. We finished the day in 3rd place, thanks to the incredible effort of every player on the team. Alec, our assistant coach for the day, kept the stats and found that every player on the team either scored at minimum a goal or an assist, which shows how much of a collaborative team RBSC has created.
Congratulations to all the boys on the team, and I look forward to seeing you progress even further in Ultimate Frisbee over the coming years.
An additional congratulations goes to Edan and Fred, who represented NSW on the U18s team during the July school holidays, and Edan will also be representing Australia on the U20s team during the September school holidays.

RBSC Library News
As the last lap before HSC exams are upon you, this is a reminder that the library has a number of resources to assist you. In addition to the HSC collection of resources in the Exchange section of the Library, there are also loads of ATAR books in the senior study room to assist those who need to review sound notes on their subject. Available for a 7 day loan period.
Waverley Library has also created two free events to assist you. Called HSC lock ins, they will provide a speaker, food, drinks and their resources, to assist you to succeed in these all-important HSC exams. All levels of English and Maths will be covered – on Wednesday 28/9 and 5/10 respectively. Bookings are necessary via Eventbrite, sooner rather than later and you can go to the Waverley Library website for all information.
Homework Club every Monday and Wednesday from 3:30–5:00pm. Assistance is given to any and all students with research, homework, assignments, and any studying issues they may have.
