RICHMOND CHRISTIAN COLLEGE

We are thrilled to announce that RCC is planning to stage the musical, Seussical Jr in 2025!

This is an incredible opportunity for students to showcase their talents in acting, singing, dancing, and stagecraft, while also building confidence, teamwork, and creativity.

Get ready to dive into the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss! Seussical Jr. brings together beloved characters like Horton the Elephant, the mischievous Cat in the Hat, and the tiny Who citizens of Whoville. Horton faces the challenge of protecting both a clover-sized world and an abandoned egg, teaching us that "a person's a person, no matter how small." With catchy songs, heartwarming lessons, and plenty of humour, this musical celebrates the power of friendship, loyalty, and imagination. Perfect for all ages! 

Students in Middle & Senior School are invited to nominate to be involved in the production.

We can’t wait to see the creativity and enthusiasm this event will inspire in our school community. Stay tuned for more details!

 Thank you for your support!

Dear RCC Community, 

At Richmond Christian College we believe that service learning is a vital part of every young person’s growth. This is why every year our students in Year 7, 8 and 9 undertake an integrated learning project. This project allows our students to apply their academic knowledge, social and emotional understanding and problem solving skills to serve others in their community.

This year, our integrated project, Joy to the World, will encourage students to grow and apply their STEM, engineering, wood technology, textiles, hospitality and creative skills to serve their community by considering their role and responsibility in bringing joy to others.

As part of their project, students will create Buddy Benches for the College and wider community, and connect with St. Andrews Aged Care to bring joy through creativity and connection. They will also learn to create guitar pedals, sew bags, run a café, make a nativity and create joy-filled spaces. 

Proceeds from the café and sewn bags will go to a charity organisation selected by the students. 

We are looking for sponsors in our local community who are willing to connect with and support the College in the provision of this opportunity for our students. Sponsors could contribute skills, materials or financial support toward this project. All sponsors throughout this project will be endorsed on our social media sites and in Tidings. 

If you are interested in providing sponsorship to this project, please call 6686 7847 or email admin@richmond.nsw.edu.au

Your sincerely,

Lisa Weingarth                        Rebecca Campbell

This week we welcomed enthusiastic young learners into Kindergarten for their 2025 Orientation. From playful introductions, worship, games, stories, and exciting activities, each moment was filled with smiles and laughter. Near the end of the day the students reflected on their favourite part…meeting buddies! Thank you so much Year 5 for joining us! They were thoughtful, kind and considerate leaders! Looking forward to more fun next Wednesday!!

Congratulations to our dancers who competed in the Dance Eisteddfod in Lismore last week. They represented RCC with distinction. Well done girls!

RCC competed in their very first Interschool 3 x 3 Basketball Competition yesterday. Such a fabulous day with all our teams very competitive and winning lots of matches. At the end of the day our Yr 7/ 8 Boys won their division. Thanks to Ms Chilcott and Mr Henderson for coaching the teams and NSW Basketball for running the day and promoting 3 x 3 basketball. Well done once more Team RCC!

Our Stage 5 Food Tech students blessed our teachers on World Teachers Day with a scrumptious spread for morning tea! Thank you students & Mrs Bos!! It was delicious.

RCC recently travelled to Coffs Harbour to play in the CSSA North Coast Futsal Gala Day. All eight teams were competitive in their divisions with the Primary Blue team finishing runner-up in the Primary Competition and the Year 9/10 Girls narrowly missing the Grand Final in a playoff. Our Year 9/10 Boys demonstrated exceptional skill, strategy and teamwork to win their Grand Final, beating Summerland Christian College 3-1. Thanks to Matthias, Miss McNamara, Mr Gilmore, Mr Drew and Mrs Bull for coaching our teams. Well done Team RCC!

The Stage 5 PASS students continued their Summer Sports Unit with an afternoon on the tennis courts this week. Game, set, match!
