The Night of Notables
On the evening of 2 December, the Year 8 students at The Ridgeway Campus celebrated the annual Night of Notables. The night was a wonderful celebration of what our talented students are able to achieve through an engaging and collaborative project facilitated by dedicated and passionate staff. It is the culmination of a four week-long project of research and work to prepare. Our students complete the bulk of this work in their English and Humanities classes.
Each student presents on the night as a notable person from the range of human endeavours. They are introduced on stage for a Grand Parade in Buckley Hall, in costume and in character. Our students also set up display booths in the Middle Years Centre to communicate who their notables are and the important aspects of their notable’s life. The audience is then able visit them at their booths and quiz each notable character about a range of questions to be answered by the student in character as their notable.
This year our Year 8 students were thoroughly engaging as their notables. They knew their characters well and we were particularly impressed with their depth of knowledge.
The feedback from families and guests across the evening was glowingly positive. One parent commented that meeting the notables was “better than Google,” as you were able to get a better sense of their personality and character.
Events like these are not possible without dedicated teams of people. Our sincere thanks to all involved.
To our Year 8 students, what a way to begin the new academic year. You are clearly a very talented group of young people and we are very much looking forward to what you can achieve in the year ahead.
