IPSHA Gymnastics
Congratulations to our Junior Representative Gymnastics Teams who competed at the IPSHA gymnastics competition today. The teams have been training with Aussie Gems since Term 2 outside of school hours and were exceptional in their individual routines and disciplines today. Both Redlands and the coaching staff are very proud of them.
Mountain Biking
We have families who are involved in Mountain biking (MTB) National Inter-schools in Thredbo and would be great to see more Redlands children competing and representing the school. The event will run between the 4 and 8 March 2024, with registrations commencing later this month. The event is for children year 3 to 12 run across a number of different events. Please get in touch with contacts that can be found in the link below.

Sport Calendar
The sport calendar for Term 4 onwards is available online on Junior School Sport Page. You can also view it by selecting here.
Redlands App – Communication
In Term 4, all Redlands Sport Activities will continue to be through Pulse and the Redlands App. Here you will be able to see all activities, teams and groups your child is part of, all scheduled lessons and locations and receive instant push notifications for any changes or cancellations.
Representative Sport Student Absence
If students are absent on match day, parents are required to complete this online absence form. This will allow your responses to be passed on electronically to your child’s coach efficiently and at short notice. The Student Absence link can also be found on the Junior School Sport Page on Redlands Pulse.
Representative Sports – Saturday Morning Match Wear
Just a reminder for all families who represent Redlands in Saturday Sport, only Redlands Sports Uniforms and match day kit is to be worn. Each family should own either a school tracksuit and or a fleece that they can wear over the top of their playing kit if they are cold. Any incorrect item will now be confiscated as all students have received the same message.
Representative Sport Team Movement
In regard to representative sport and the movement of players across ability-based teams, it is transparent for all parties as unexplained team movements sometimes cause unnecessary stress. At Redlands our teams are ‘fluid’, meaning teams may change from week to week depending on 3 main criteria:
ABILITY – in direct comparison to other students across the sport
ATTENDANCE – any student who misses 2 games in a season unrelated to sickness may be moved
ATTITUDE – this is based on behaviour at trainings, on game day and not limited to the sporting arena
Please don’t hesitate to view our Sport Information page on Redlands Pulse if you have any questions pertaining to Sport.
