Year 11 Rock at the Battle of the Bands!
On Monday night, the following Yr 11 students participated in the 2022 Battle of the Bands:
- Sabrina Blasco and Maya Little (Torn – Natalie Imbruglia)
- Phoebe Barnett (Waterfalls – TLC)
All students performed brilliantly and showcased their musical, vocal and performance talent.
A big thank you to Elena Parker, Alex Tully and Finnegan Drew for their assistance with the Cambodia Silent Auction Battle of the Bands Fundraiser. This involved a silent auction for four stools that were designed by Yr 11 Design and Technology teams as part of their S.E.A.T Project. All the funds raised from the Battle of the Bands Silent Auction will contribute towards providing daily meals for students at M’Lop Tapang school which is located in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Elena, Alex and Finngean raised a total of $1000.00 which is a phenomenal start to kick off our first Yr 11 Cambodia fundraiser.

2022 Computational and Algorithmic Thinking (CAT) Competition
Redlands is excited to offer Year 7-12 students the opportunity to participate in the 2022 Computational and Algorithmic Thinking (CAT) competition. This will be held on Friday 6 May at Redlands.
The CAT competition is a one-hour problem solving competition designed to encourage student curiosity and promote multiple modes of thinking, as well as solving real-world problems. Interested students are welcome to enter this competition and previous computer programming experience is not needed.
The competition will help to identify students’ computer programming potential and is suitable for students who are interested in coding, robotics, digital creation or design and may be used as preparation for robotics competitions.
Students who perform strongly in the CAT will have the further option to participate in the Oxford University Computing Challenge held later this year.
The cost of the competition is $7.50. This cost will be added to your subsequent Term Fee Statement.
