Junior School Sport Note Day – 11 April 2024
Athletics Prep
For the last four Wednesdays, 148 students have participated in the Athletics Prep sessions at Rotary Park Athletics track. Every student pushed themselves, competing in as many events as they could with their coach. Credit goes to all the students, coaches, and staff they were engaged, enthusiastic and supportive of each other. Please enjoy the short video we have put together.
Winter Sport Trials
Well done to all our students who attended the second of two compulsory trials for our Term 2 Winter Representative Sport Programs. We had now uploaded the teams on the Redlands App. From Term 2 Week 1 your child will start in their allocated team based on these trials. The Team Lists are live and are subject to changes mid-week. Parents and or carers are asked to check these team lists prior to the weekend to ensure you know what game your child is required to attend.
Cross Country Carnival
The Cross Country Carnival which will take place on Tuesday 14 May for all Junior School students. The carnival will be held at St Leonard’s Park, North Sydney.
Each student will complete the course twice (two laps) to achieve 2.4km total distance.
Our aim is for this to be a fun experience for everyone on the day but also provide a great experience and challenge for those aiming to progress to HICES and CIS where the courses present many different challenges.
Upon arrival at the venues students in each grade will be divided into two groups (Boys Championship Race and a Girls Championship Race) which will run as separate events.
After the event the result will be sorted into age groups with the top 5 runners in boys and the top 5 runners in girls in each age group will make up the Redlands team that will participate at the HICES Carnival on the 21 May.
Please refer to our Cross Country Carnival page on Pulse for all information relating to our 2nd major carnival this year.

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. If your child feels the cold they may play in their fleece if their match allows it.
Any incorrect item will now be confiscated as all students have received the same message.
Wednesday Sport Inability to Train
If your child has an injury that prevents them from training, please send through an email to Junior Sport juniorsport@redlands.nsw.edu.au requesting they ‘sit out’ of training for that particular session. We can then forward this to the relevant external coaching staff. Where applicable please include when they can return to normal training, so coaches are aware of this. That way coaching staff are aware of an injury that prevents them from participating at the venue but also allows us to be aware of periods where they are medically required to ‘sit out’.
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.
Please don’t hesitate to view our Sport Information page on Redlands Pulse if you have any questions pertaining to Sport.
