ONE55 HEALTH AND FITNESS One55 Health and Fitness continued this term with a new group of dedicated and hard working students. One55 has brought to the school a constructive supportive health and fitness program which aims to improve fitness and health, create a feeling of belonging to a team and help to create pathways for career opportunities. The program runs twice a week in all types of weather to make changes to studentʼs health and fitness levels. There has been a lot of sweat and hard work but the students have also had a lot of fun working together as a team. We will be celebrating the success of the program this term with a challenge against the ONE55 team at Blacktown Boys High School - a challenge RHHS are sure to win.
Zoe Mulhern was involved in the State Dance Ensemble and Senior Ballet Ensemble, while Chloe Cowgill danced along side the Sydney West dance group. All the students represented RHHS proudly and showed great commitment to all rehearsals and early morning train trips. Congratulations!
LEARNING WITH TECHNOLOGY Our year 7 and 8 students have been exploring the latest technologies this term. Students have been using iPads to create digitally enhanced photos, animations and learn about augmented reality. Augmented reality has been a huge hit with students and with a number of teachers. It is anticipated that RHHS will increase our number of iPads in 2013 which will support the teaching and learning of more students in all year groups.

NATIONAL ART SCHOOL Madison Nixon and Charity Dave successfully completed their HSC Studio Intensive Practice course and exhibited at the National Art School. It is always a thrill to see student's work being admired by a greater audience, an audience outside the school and classroom. They have now completed 1 unit of work for their HSC. The skills and experiences gained is a great springboard into the early and ensuing stages of their body of work. Madison and Charity Snapshot Exhibition @Lewers Gallery. Amellia Rakic of Year 9 is an aspiring photographer. Her photograph was selected out of 800 entrants across the globe to be exhibited in the annual "Snapshot" exhibition of photography held at the Penrith Regional Gallery. Along with this amazing accolade, Amellia also picked up a Harvey Norman discount card so that she can go back again and again to get her awe inspiring photographs printed. If you are an avid photographer keep an eye out for entries next year!
