Junior Sport

Welcome to Term 2. We hope you and your family enjoyed the holidays. We have our second major Carnival this term – Swimming on Wednesday 15 June as well as our regular Sports Program. As has  previously been the case, the information that was emailed to all families on Monday this week was put together to provide you with a picture of the overall landscape of the Term. Please take the time to read through that email which will assist you and your child in your return to school sport. For those of you with children involved in our Representative Sports program there is some more detailed information in this email.

Similar to last year, we will be asking students to continue to practise good hygiene at all times and to use the hand sanitisers available here at school before and after sport training and matches. Students will also be reminded not to share their water bottles, towels etc. And in what we have become accustomed to in this current climate ‘If in Doubt, Sit it Out’ – any student, coach, official or parent who has any cold or flu like symptoms are advised not to attend their Wednesday and or Saturday morning fixtures.

  • For all Sport information regarding what sports we offer when, how to navigate our documents, as well as information on Uniforms and Carnivals please refer to our Parent Information Booklets on Pulse.

Redlands Pulse

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.

Wednesday Sport

Normal Wednesday Winter Sport resumed this week. If you need a reminder as to what your child has selected for their Winter Sport choice as well as team selections please refer to the Term 2 Winter Sport lists. These sports will continue until the last week of term, Wednesday 22 June. For timings and venues for all Wednesday sport please refer to the Winter Sport Training Schedule. Please remember if you are picking up your child directly from the venue you must be there before the returning bus leaves for the journey back to school. Please note these buses will not wait for late parents and no child can be left at the venue for late location pick-ups. All sports this term will finish and return students back to school at regular finish time of 3:20pm, traffic dependent with the exception of Gymnastics.

Wet Weather

In the case of wet weather on a Wednesday, updates will be posted on our Wet Weather Pulse page. If you pick your child up directly at the venue, please refer to this page prior to going to ensure that they are at the venue. Alternative plans may have been made depending on the location and provider.
