Dear Parents and Caregivers,
This is the week in Term 3 where the Year 9 Commerce and Year 8 Entrepreneurship lessons
culminate in a Market Day. They have been working tirelessly towards this outcome all term
and their marketing and advertising strategies have been innovative and have captured the
imagination of the entire school. The platform of showing their advertisements in assembly in
preparation for the big day proved very popular and the standard of their ads was exception-
al. Liz Clarence and Ruchika Sahai are to be congratulated on a successful day enjoyed by
all. In their words “the students absolutely blew our minds away with their enthusiasm, organi-
sation, creativity and team work in both year groups. We cannot wait to share their stories with
you all in the newsletter next week.”

once in a 3x3m square. Tournament of Minds is exactly that challenge.
Students have to assemble a team of seven, two from Year 7 and no more than three students from
any other grade. Armed only with a rulebook the size of a dictionary, a handful of recycled materi-
als and six weeks they must build a machine to solve a set, previously undisclosed problem. They
are allowed no outside help. They must then perform their solution over 10 minutes to a panel of
three judges in an engaging fictional drama piece that explains their machine.
Reddam submitted three teams to the regional finals last Sunday, two teams from the Junior School
led by Mr Anthony Shepherd and one from the senior school led by Mr. Jesse Hancock. All teams
did a spectacular job on the day with our senior team coming second in the regional final.
Everyone’s unique skills shone on the day, from the creative high energies of Aiden Katz and Aidan
