Balmoral Swim- Schools Relay Challenge

This year, Redlands is participating in the Balmoral Swim- Schools Relay Challenge on Sunday 3 April 2022. One of the joys of our Redlands community is our collective willingness to be involved in fundraising initiatives and participate in community events. This is a great opportunity for Yr 7 students to participate and generate friendships with students from other year groups. For this reason Yr 7 students are warmly encouraged to take part. Funds raised from this event will support the Children’s Cancer Institute. For further information please contact our Co-ordinator of Service Ms Rachael Riley rriley@redlands.nsw.edu.au
