It is great that we are able to get back out on the fields and courts this weekend to participate in some Winter Sport trials, we are thankful that we able to play some trials before the holidays. A reminder that this weekend students need to wear their Redlands Sports uniform (sport specific uniform) which is available to purchase from the Uniform Shop. Students who do not have the correct uniform will not take the court/field.

The draws for the upcoming Winter season will be posted on Redlands Pulse in the coming weeks, parents are reminded that sport takes place on Saturday there will be sport on every Saturday during Term 2 (not including the Long Weekend) with game times varying depending on who and where teams are playing. Redlands Sports takes priority over all club sport commitments.

‘I have never come across a successful person, team or high performing organisation that maintained average standards. Only those who will commit themselves to excellence succeed in the long term. High standards aren’t for everyone, but excellence also isn’t for everyone’

FOOT OF THE RIVER (Parent Rowing): Now that the season is drawing to a close, it is our families’ opportunity to have a turn at rowing with the Foot of the River commencing in Week 2 of Term 2. This is our major fundraiser with the aim to purchase a new Eight oared boat for the 2023-2024 season. Parents can form a crew of four with their family, friends, work mates or anyone that they can find, learn how to row being coached by our rowing coaches twice a week for four weeks and conclude with a mini regatta held on Sun 28 May racing over a 500m course at Davidson Park.
