HICES Swimming
Congratulations to our 28 swimmers who travelled out to Homebush to compete in the HICES Team selection carnival. It was a great day of swimming with some students obtaining or breaking their PB’s across several strokes. I was very proud of our efforts in the pool considering we did not have a meet prior and the team was selected on ‘paper’. Redlands came 3rd overall on points. My appreciation also extends to those families who attended and supported on the day but also to the Year 6 Captains who assisted our younger swimmers throughout the day.
We have 12 students how have qualified for the HICES team who will now swim at CIS Carnival. Congratulations to;
- Jack Carey
- Lily Carey
- Ami Dalla Pozza
- Sasha Gordon
- Sasha Grant
- Zac Holgate
- Milehna Meyer
- Karen Preston
- Jasmine Rasmay
- Amelia Svensson
- Joshua Svensson
- Alex Taylor

Wet Weather update
With the wet weather having a significant impact on our Sport program specifically on the Wednesday a reminder that parents and carers can refer to the wet weather link that gets updated in real time. This is particularly important for those parents who pick up at the venues. As Junior School Reception is very busy on a Wednesday, enquiries about Sport may go to voicemail. Updates are shown in red font and the cut off time for cancellation is midday. On wet days parents are also asked to send any sport specific equipment in with their child and not make the decision prior to departure from home that sport is going to be cancelled. With the amount of sport that has been cancelled over the last two years contractors will always try to come up with an alternative program ahead of cancelling.
Winter Sport Trials
For all those students who have nominated a Term 2 Representative Sport (Netball, Rugby, Football, Hockey) as their Winter Sport you would be aware that there are trials similar to those trials that took place for Summer Sport to determine teams. The dates can be found in the sport calendar below but include;
- Wednesday 23 March (except Year 5 as they are on camp)
- Saturday 26 March
- Wednesday 30 March
- Saturday 2 April
Please select link below to view dates, times and locations of these trials. Any student who has selected a representative sport (Netball, Rugby, Football, Hockey) and does not attend will be placed in the lower team with ‘YET TO TRIAL’ listed next to their name and will be assessed once the season commences in Term 2.
Students who are not involved in Winter Representative Sport will swap over to their Term 2 Sport selection on Wednesday 23 with the exception being year 5 as they are away on camp.
2022 Term 1 Sport Calendar
For an outline and timeline of all our sporting events in Term 1 our Junior School Sport calendar can be viewed by selecting here.
Cross Country Preparation
As per our engage notice sent out to all families the wet weather has meant we had to move our carnival from Tuesday 8 March to Friday 18 March. Students will run in either the championship run or the fun run. Both runs take place over the same course, both have ribbons for place getters. To view your child’s event please select the following link;
2022 Class Listing- what event am I in?
You will see that I have also listed their entrant number, this needs to be written on their arm on race day so we can separate age groups in the computer as we have different age groups running against each other in the same grade. It is important that your child knows their entrant number as that is how results are generated when they cross the finish line.
Our new venue is Tunks Park Cammeray with the carnival now taking place Friday 18 March. A fly over of the course can be viewed here. 2022 Course Video. If you can manage to get down to Tunks park for a walk or run before the event that always settles nerves on race day. Parents and or carers are welcome to join us on this day but must remain off the course. You have received a detailed information package about the event last week.

Please check these as there have been a few changes to teams over the last few days. Students have been told it is their responsibility to check the team lists, see if there any team changes that affect them and then cross check new times in the draw. That way it avoids students being moved teams turning up at the incorrect time and or venue.
Redlands Pulse Sport Page
Again another reminder to take the time to review the information on this page. I appreciate Term 1 is very busy given the number of events taking place but the information on this page will be helpful. The Junior School Sport pages on Redlands Pulse will continue to be the ‘source of truth’ for all information relating to sport this term. I am asking that if parents have an enquiry relating to sport that your first port of call will be the Junior School Sport section of Redlands Pulse.
