School Development Programs
I would like to thank all the families who have made donations to the School’s Scholarship, Building and Library Funds. The School’s fundraising efforts are continuing in supporting these three Funds, with a special emphasis on supporting the Redlands Foundation Scholarship Fund, a means-tested Scholarship launched in 2010 by Principal, Dr Peter Lennox. This provides the opportunity for a Redlands education to exceptional students who may otherwise not be able to experience the Redlands journey. For more information, please visit our website.
RPFA Second Hand Uniform and Books Sales
A huge thank you to the RPFA Committee and all the parent volunteers who organised and helped with the Second Hand Uniform Sale at the end of last year. Over $9,000 was raised for the Redlands Foundation Scholarship Fund. “The RPFA was delighted to see so much interest and support from our community”, Lisa MacDonald, RPFA President 2018.
Parents’ support is greatly appreciated as it provides us with extra help and resources to implement important programs/activities for our students and teachers. Should you wish to receive further details or get involved, please contact Dana Casimaty, details below.
