Year 10 Key Dates
For Year 10 students who have successfully completed their EIF, the last official school day will be Wednesday, December 4 (Week 8) finishing at 3:10pm.
Inclusion and special class students will continue attending school until Friday, December 13 (Week 9), with a finish time of 2:15 PM on that day.

They have also had the opportunity to participate in work experience and experience brand new subjects.
All other students will finish on Friday December 13 week 9 at 2:15pm
🏃♂️🌭 Support Movember & Mental Health Awareness! 🌭🏃♂️
Our amazing staff have taken on a HUGE challenge this November – running 1000km to raise awareness for men’s health and mental well-being. It's been a tough slog, but nothing compared to the struggles faced by so many men dealing with mental health issues. 💪
To help fuel their efforts, we're running a Sausage Sizzle all day this Friday 29 November. Bring along your gold coins and grab a bite, and show your support! 🌭✨ The last few kilometres will be run on our school oval alongside some of our students, so it’s a great chance to cheer them on!
We’re asking for your support – please consider making a donation to this important cause. Every little bit helps, and together, we can make a real difference. 💙

Well done!
RBC Primary Run Club 🏃🏃♂️
This term, Mr. D started a run club for primary students in R-6 to help increase fitness, wellness and focus at school. The club currently runs its weekly meets on Monday mornings before school from 8.10am-8.35am. Students are encouraged to run, jog or walk (or a combination of all three) around the primary oval as many times as they can.
Since the club's first meet in Week 2 this term, 70 individual students from years R-6 have combined for a total of 959 laps or 287.7kms. Individually, students are recognised for their achievements with badges. This week Tyler and Edward, both Year 5 students, unlocked the first individual achievements of the club, earning their Term 4 Half-Marathon badge for completing 21.1kms so far this term. There are a number of students across years 3-6 also close to completing this achievement with a handful of R-2 students close to the 10km achievement for Term 4. Watch this space!

Such a great initiative and Riley loves Monday mornings for run club.
Amazing!!! Mr D is just the best, I love the way he inspires and encourages all the kids.
Is there anyway to bring over a child that attend OSCH on the Monday mornings? My son desperately wants to join but can’t as he’s at OSCH at that time Or is this something we could consider for next year if it continues?
My son in year 7 would love this too. Are there be high school run club too?

#WorldKindnessDay
I love this ❤️
Remembrance Day, 11 November, is one of the most important days on our commemorative calendar. It's a day when we acknowledge those who died or suffered while serving in wars, conflicts, and peace operations. On 11 November 1918, marked the end of the first World War by the guns of the Western Front falling silent after four years of continuous warfare.
The RBC school community will observe a minute’s silence, which will be dedicated to those soldiers who died fighting to protect the nation. This is a time to remember relatives, friends, and others, or reflect on the sacrifices of those who have served and died while serving for Australia.
