A bit of a deadbeat saves the day
SPIES AND DETECTIVES: Alex Hardaker, Nikki Burns and Olivia Cathro take
to the stage in Gumshoe'.
By ALEX HARDAKER
LAST year Rose Bay High School
delighted theatre-goers with Wolf
Stock — the story of a teenage
werewolf.
So, how were students going to
match that successful production
this year?
The answer was Gumshoe — a
spy musical that included everything from ray guns, scientists,
diamonds, spies and detectives as
well as a lot of laughs for people of
all ages.
The story focused on Mac Hunter, a private eye and a bit of a
deadbeat.
He was accompanied on his
adventures by ace reporter Peta
Steele from the Chicago Herald.
The couple was brought together
by the mysterious disappearance of
the world’s perfect diamond, the
Princess of India, which was intricately linked to the Popular Women’s Front — a terrorist group led
by evil Russian, Svetlana Von
Bizaro.
Everyone involved with Gumshoe put a lot of time and effort into
the performance and gave up several Sundays by attending practice
sessions at the school.
It was a lot of hard work but the
end result was worth it.
Students staged two successful
performances for members of the
public at the Rosny College Auditorium on August 10-11.
Congratulations to the Rose Bay
performance class — we can’t wait
to see what they have in store for us
next year.
How to make a
world of difference
THIS year Rose Bay High School
students have started producing a
magazine — Inlook.
Inlook is ‘‘for the students by the
students’’ and is prepared and published every two months.
Highlights include students’ work,
school band interviews, comic strips,
competitions and much much more.
Other items include Shout Out
where students relay messages to their
friends and Talk on the Side where
people randomly answer a question.a
The Inlook team includes students
from each grade who use some of their
class and lunch time to produce the
magazine.

Proud to support
Rose Bay High School
By RUTH BARNETT
IF you happened to be wandering
around the Rose Bay High School
gymnasium on June 29 you may have
been curious as to why there was a
continuous chain of white, cut out,
paper children around the walls.
In fact, each of the 1200 ‘‘children’’
represented a child that dies every
hour due to poverty.
That’s the whole of Rose Bay High
gone in just over 30 minutes.
June 29 was Rose Bay’s RU MAD
Day? (Are You Making a Difference
Day). RU MAD Day combined a free
dress day, an assembly which focused
on the Oaktree Foundation and informative activities about poverty.
Each student cut out two paper
children which were added to the
chain.
That night students also held their
school social with the theme ‘‘Make
Poverty History’’.
All the activities saw students raise
$2142 for the Oaktree Foundation
while promoting awareness about
poverty.
Zac Hardaker,
Grade 7:
Cooking,
because we
eat! The new
kitchen is really
cool.
Emma
Menzies, Grade
8: The guest
speakers in
assembly —
they are really
interesting.
Justin Dodge,
Grade 8: The
school
production,
because the
one this year
was really good!
Kylie Howard,
Grade 9:
Training to be a
peer support
leader.
It was really fun
and helpful in
Grade 7.

Koppelmann
Grade 10: The
Oaktree Day
was great! I
can’t wait until
the leavers’
dinner!
Garry
Bannister,
Grade 10: The
social was cool!
I can’t wait until
the talent show
because I’m
singing.
CARING: Rose Bay High School students Bianca Eyers, left, Jacquetta Richards,
Samantha Nolder and Jane Salisbury make cutout children for the Oaktree program.
The motivation behind this awesome effort by Rose Bay students came
when Grade 10 students attended the
Step To The Future Conference.
It was here that they heard Hugh
Evens (the founder of Oaktree) speak
about his life and experiences.
Hugh believes that young people
can make a real difference and he us
to do just that.
