Yr 12 Leaders

This year, our brave, forward-thinking, driven and motivated cohort put themselves forward for several leadership positions, reaching the highest amount of students to self-nominate for a leadership position in Redlands history. This demonstrates the desire and leadership mindset this cohort has across each student. While Friday marked a day full of emotion as the new Yr 12 Captains were announced, we congratulate every student for the courage to self-nominate, the self-reflection and self-regulation throughout the leadership nomination process and the resilience for stepping up as a leader with or without an additional title. 

Well done to all students for learning more about themselves throughout this process, for supporting friends through moments of excitement and disappointment and for moving forward with another life skill that will continue to support them into their future. 

Congratulation class of 2024! It is your time to shine!

Yr 11 Camp Letter

Please note that a parent letter was sent to all students and parents/carers last week regarding Yr 11 Camp. Parents will have received information regarding providing permission, access to the OEG website to check packing lists and to submit medical forms. Thank you for your timely attention to this information. The camp letter can be found on Pulse.

Yr 11 Industry Day

All students were provided information regarding their Industry Day selection last week. This Friday, students will be provided time in Tutor to connect with their peers going to the same industry. Students are reminded of the following:

  • This is not an optional event. All students are required to attend to embrace this opportunity provided to them.
  • If students are absent on the day, they will need to send an email to their supervising teacher and include SSAbsence and Careers in the email.  A doctor certificate will also be required for the absence.
  • Professional dress is required for the day – no jeans, tops exposing midriffs or sneakers. Students do not need to wear a suit. Flat shoes are recommended. Special clothing request for John Holland. Please check the Partner letters carefully.
  •  It is the student’s responsibility to make their own way to and home from the industry. CMRI and ResMed are exceptions and have a mini-bus from school and back.
  • Teachers will be with students at the industry visit. Students should ensure they know which teacher they are meeting.
  • These industries have spent a lot of time putting together a special opportunity for our students. Students are asked to ensure they are on time and engage politely and positively throughout the day, demonstrating appreciation for this experience.

Thank you for your support reiterating these expectations from home.

HSC Drama Showcase

Last Friday evening was full of laughs, depth, emotion and audience participation as the Yr 11 HSC students presented their pantomime and physical theatre. These pieces were based on an existing work that they adapted and added their own flare. After a busy few weeks, the energy on stage was infectious and the amount of Yr 11 supporters in the audience was impressive. Well done to all student participants: Hugo Little, Tom Wright, Isla Dawson-Damer, Zara Naismith, Alex Tanner, Jay Sefton, Hannah Jones-Way, Grace Durrant and Marcus Cooper-Hor.
