Welcome back to Term 4 and it was great to see everyone at school without
the restrictions of Alert Level 2. The Senior Drama “In the Lonely Hour”
was performed on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and congratulations
to Mr Harrison and the senior students for an excellent performance.
The drama tackles the issue of bullying and the devastating effects it can
have on individuals and society. Strong messages were given that the victims of bullying are

“In the Lonely Hour” Welcome back to Rosehill College
Library!
Firstly, a big thank you to all our students for supporting the No Phones
rule in the library. It has created a wonderful vibe for all our senior
students who are preparing for exams.
We have a variety of board games available in the Library for you to
use as an alternative and we will be offering arts and crafts as well so
watch this space! If you have a game or craft suggestion, please let the
library team know.
Summer Reading 2020-21
We are excited to announce that we will be running Summer Reading
again this year. The Summer Reading programme is designed to keep
students reading over summer to avoid the “summer slide”. There is no
cost for summer reading. Students who wish to participate must collect
a permission slip from the library and have this signed by a parent or
guardian. Students may request up to 10 titles and these can be put
aside from today.
Senior Summer Reading bags will be ready for collection from Monday
19th October
Junior Summer Reading bags will be ready for collection from Monday
16th November.
● Opposite of Always - A hilarious and heartfelt novel about the choices
we make, the people we choose, and the moments that make a life
worth reliving.
● Girls with Sticks (series) - As Mena and her friends begin to uncover
the dark secrets of what’s actually happening—and who they really
are—the girls of Innovations will find out what they are truly capable
of. Because some of the prettiest flowers have the sharpest thorns.
● Wilder Girls - It’s been eighteen months since the Raxter School for
Girls was put under quarantine. Since the Tox hit and pulled Hetty’s
life out from under her. But when Byatt goes missing, Hetty will do
anything to find her, even if it means breaking quarantine and braving
the horrors that lie beyond the fence.
● The Recruit (Cherub Series) - CHERUB agents are aged between ten
and seventeen. They live in the real world, slipping under adult radar
and getting information that sends criminals and terrorists to jail. For
official purposes, these children do not exist.
● Punching the Air (verse novel) - Amal Shahid has always been an artist
and a poet. But even in a diverse art school, he’s seen as disruptive and
unmotivated by a biased system. Then one fateful night, an altercation
in a gentrifying neighbourhood escalates into tragedy. “Boys just being
boys” turns out to be true only when those boys are white. Suddenly, at
just sixteen years old, Amal’s bright future is upended: he is convicted
of a crime he didn’t commit and sent to prison. Despair and rage
almost sink him until he turns to the refuge of his words, his art. This
never should have been his story. But can he change it?
