Week 2 Prep Wellbeing Day
A Message from Mrs Clinton, Dean of Students
We are all looking forward to the upcoming Prep Wellbeing Day to be held on Thursday 20 October in Week 2. Our K-2 students will participate in a variety of activities including a Health Hustle, team building games with our PE staff, dance workshops, attend a cooking demonstration with resident Chef Joel and a science performance by the Jollybops.
It will be a day filled with fun, music, movement, sport, learning new skills and raising awareness about the importance of caring for others in our community.
Our Yr 11 students and Yr 6 Wellbeing leaders will help run the lunchtime fundraising events, so we encourage everyone to bring at least 5 gold coins and participate in one or more of the following activities: ice-cream bar, freshly made tacos – cooked by Chef Joel Squires, outdoor art creations and a student/teacher Dance Craze Competition!
Looking forward to a wonderful Wellbeing Day and seeing the Redlands community spirit in action as we raise funds for Bear Cottage.
*Students to wear sports uniform
*Bring your gold coins for the lunchtime fundraiser activities. These will be collected in the morning by class teachers. Students can bring 1 or more gold coins.
*All funds raised will be donated to Bear Cottage, a charity close to the hearts of us here at Redlands.
