House Morning Teas for Yr 12

 It was wonderful to celebrate with Yr 12 at the annual House Morning Teas this week. Each event was attended by past House Captains and Alumni representatives and students were presented with the gift of a Redlands Rhino. 

We were privileged to be joined by Sarah Cowper, former Cowper Sports Captain (Redlander 1972), Cowper Redlander Charlie Rogers (Redlander 2017) visiting from Europe having recently completed her degree at St Andrews in Scotland, aspiring actor Hunter Auld (Cowper Captain 2021) and Rebecca Faurby (Dumolo Captain 2019) currently studying at ANU. Messages of support and the importance of staying connected with each other beyond the school gates were shared and we wish all students the very best over the coming weeks.

Incredible Memories of Redlands

It was an honour to spend time with Trish Rogers (Redlander 1955) who visited the School with special gifts for the Redlands Archives – her precious science workbook with exquisite scientific hand drawn diagrams, along with her prize books. Trish was the winner in 1954 of the prestigious ‘Nona Dumolo Prize for English Essay Competition’ – and received The Forsyth Saga by John Galsworthy, presented by the ‘Old Girls Union’, which is now known as the Redlander Alumni Association. The Association continues to endow this and several other Prizes to the Yr 12 cohort at Valedictory.

It was wonderful to hear Trish’s memories of Redlands, and the fun that was had in the lower level of Liggins which was used as a Hall for many gathering including school dances. Mischievous boys who were invited to attend these special occasions, would sneak out and turn the lights off in the hall using a switch at one of the Liggins Building, while at the other end stood the formidable Deputy Miss Steele who would turn them on again. Trish continues to love writing and is a life-long learning taking art classes and other opportunities to explore the things in life that she enjoys.
