Year 10

The Addams Family Musical

Congratulations to the cast, crew, and production staff of this year’s School Musical, The Addams Family! Your dedication, hard work and creativity have truly paid off, and the final product was exceptional. We were blown away by the level of talent and professionalism that was displayed throughout the entire production process. The singing, dancing, acting, and technical aspects of the musical were all executed flawlessly, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

We also want to recognise the incredible effort that went into creating the sets, costumes, lighting, and sound design for the production. These elements were essential in bringing the story to life and creating a fully immersive experience for the audience.

In particular to the cast and crew of Year 10, we are so proud of the commitment and passion that you brought to the musical. You have truly set the bar high for future productions, and we know that you will continue to excel in all of your future endeavours.

Science & Engineering Day

“The Science and Engineering Challenge was an incredible opportunity for us Year 9 and 10 students to complete tasks we would not normally undertake at school. Angus, Jesse, Lachie and I were assigned the task of ‘bridge building’, where we constructed a model bridge out of balsa wood and tape, which then supported a railcar carrying increasingly heavy weights as it raced across a test rig. We placed 2nd in the bridge task and Redlands placed 3rd overall. Working as a team to solve complex problems taught me the importance of collaboration, creativity, and perseverance, instilling in me a deep appreciation for the wonders of science and engineering.”

Parent Resource – Sleep

“Teenagers are the most sleep-deprived segment of the population. This is a very under-recognised problem and the cost to society in the healthy development of young people is profound.”

Dr Michael Carr-Gregg

Resource

Overview of this edition – Children these days seem to be going to bed later and later. Distractions such as TV, computer games, internet, texting friends and social media are all having a negative impact on a child’s sleep time. Sleep is vital to a child’s wellbeing. When children sleep well, they are more settled, happier and ready for school the next day. Sleep also strengthens their immune systems, supports overall development and their ability to function properly on a daily basis. Children who do not get enough sleep show increased levels of aggressive behaviour, are less attentive and are much less active. Trying to catch up on sleep on weekends is not the answer and can still lead to severe sleep deprivation. Recent studies have shown than many children, especially teenagers, are missing out on vital REM sleep, which is particularly important for memory and learning.

Make a Splash for a Great Cause!

The Balmoral Swim Schools Relay Challenge is back! On Sunday 2 April from 8am-9am, local schools will come together to raise funds for the Children’s Cancer Institute, increase awareness for this important cause, and most importantly, have fun participating in an open water swim relay.

Here’s how it works: each team consists of four swimmers, and each swimmer will swim a 200m leg of the relay. Participants can choose to swim in their year category or an older category, and the entry cost is just $20 per swimmer. 

Don’t want to swim? No problem – you can still support the cause by donating to the Redlands fundraising page to help raise funds for the Children’s Cancer Institute.  

This is a fantastic opportunity to come together, have some fun, and raise funds for a great cause. So, gather your teammates, come along to Balmoral Beach, and make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer.

We can’t wait to see everyone there! Register your team now and join in the fun!
