Year 10

Week 8

This has been a busy week for students as they have spent time beginning to acknowledge the Yr 12 students as their time at school comes to an end, recording a short video to farewell the cohort. Week 9 is traditionally Spirit Week when Yr 12s celebrate their time at Redlands with a different theme each day; however, due to current restrictions some of those events have needed to change this year. Despite this, there has been a Prefect Spirit Assembly over Zoom on Tuesday, followed by a House colours themed mufti day on Wednesday and a dodgeball competition. Thursday involved a number of sports focused activities, such as a skipping competition and a basketball shooting competition. On Friday, there will be a number of performing arts activities for the students to be involved in or watch. It is great that as a school we are still able to celebrate this momentus occasion for Yr 12. It is hard to believe that our Yr 10s will be at this stage in just two years time!

End of Year Exminations

As we are approaching the end of Term 3, Yr 10 should be beginning to consider their preparation for their end of year examinations in Week 3, Term 4. Students have been using this term to learn the importance of planning their schedule each week, through the use of a termly and weekly planner. It would be a good time to check-in with your child and have a conversation about exam preparation and how they are going to effectively use their upcoming holidays to not only enjoy themselves but also begin their revision process. In Week 10 this term, Tutors will begin assisting the students in their preparation and will provide resources and advice.

Prue Salter’s Study Tips

With the end of term fast approaching take the time these holidays to reflect on what is ahead in the last term.

  • Do you have exams?
  • Should you be making some study notes?
  • Are there areas of difficulty you should address?
  • What do you want to achieve both academically and personally?

Set some goals!
