To cater to the diverse needs and interests of Reddam students, provisions have been made on the school timetable allowing students to attend vocational-based TAFE courses as well as NSW School of Languages for languages not offered at Reddam.
Students also have the opportunity to study their ethnic language at Saturday School of Community Languages. Special arrangements may also be made for students to study a particular subject through distance education when their choices are relatively unique among the cohort.
Art
‘Our students are passionate, dedicated, and exceptional individuals who are thoroughly absorbed in the process of making art and engage in all creative opportunities’.
‘The vast majority of our students consistently place in the top 10% of the State, achieving a Band 6 (above 90%) in the HSC Examination in Visual Arts. ‘
Dance
To study Dance as a subject in the senior years of High School is to choose a brave and inspiring course of education that will leave students with a strong sense of achievement and satisfaction.
Drama
Drama teaches students to think creatively, to communicate clearly, to problem solve, to empathise, to critically evaluate, and to inspire personal confidence.
Sport
Our philosophy is quite simple: "get involved, work hard and have fun!"
We encourage the students to do a variety of sports from a young age and specialise in the sports that suit them best as they grow older. Our hope is that they will continue to play sport once they leave Reddam House.
