Year 11

Driving To and From School

As many of Yr 11 will be getting their P Plates in the coming months, it is important that once they receive their licence, they complete a Student Application to Drive to and from School form. This form enables those who wish to drive to and from school the ability to do so. Without having handed in this form, students are not permitted to drive themselves to school. This form must be signed by parents and have a copy of the student’s licence attached before being signed by either Ms Mountain or Ms Howard and Ms Van de Peer. Additionally, if a student wishes to be a passenger in a vehicle of another Redlands student, they must have completed a Student Application to be a Passenger in a Vehicle Driven by another Redlands Student form. 

Both these forms can be found on the Yr 11 Pastoral Page under Important Year 11 Information or students can pick one up from either Mrs Coutts or Mrs Littleford from the Secondary School Office.

Holidays

As we draw to the end of Term 1, it has been so pleasing to see how much the Yr 11s have grown in maturity and continued to develop into respectful and hard-working young men and women. It has been a busy term packed full of academic studies and cocurricular activities and everyone now deserves a well-earned break. Jess Howard and I wish you all a safe and happy Easter and relaxing school holidays, with a break from the routine, and look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday 20 April for the start of Term 2.

Have a great Easter!
