IB OSC Registration Link

In Week 1, workshops will be delivered by Redlands teachers and do not require registration. Some of the IB workshops delivered by the Oxford Study Courses group are full but you can contact them at osc@oxfordstudycourse.com to register your interest in a full course and have your name added to a wait list. If there is sufficient interest, another workshop may be opened.

Yr 12 Formal

Please note, all students and parents received information last Friday regarding the Year 12 Formal. Please ensure the tickets are purchased and students register their attendance and table choice through the link provided in the letter. The letter can be found here on Pulse.

Student Presentation: Man Cave

Next week, our cohort identifying as he/him will be participating in a Man Cave workshop, building on their first workshop with the program in Yr 10. 

Man Cave is a group dedicated to preventative mental health and emotional intelligence to support boys in becoming great men. They exist because the leading cause of death among young men ages 15-44 is suicide. Man Cave believes these statistics are preventable as every young man should have healthy relationships, contribute to their community and should be supported to reach their full potential.

Message to Parents: We’re looking forward to having The Man Cave come work with our Year 12 students on 5 June 2024. The best way we can support the boys is by also ensuring the community around them is supported too. Please visit the link below as preparation for you to support the boys during this time.

Parent and Guardians Pre-Workshop Resources

Student Presentation: Paul Dillon

Next week, the entire cohort will engage in a 1-hour session with Paul Dillon on drugs and alcohol awareness. Thank you for your support from home. Please see parent resources to support in these ongoing conversations:

Student Presentation: Healthy Relationships & Sexuality Program

This week, students participated in the Sexual Health, The Media & Consent workshop, hosted by In Your Skin and Dr. Tessa Opie. Students who participated in the day were engaged, contributed actively to discussions and commented on how much the cohort has matured and grown over these last few years. It was refreshing for students to take notice of the changes within individuals and the cohort as a whole when discussing extremely sensitive and truly important topics.

Please see some resources for parents to support continued conversation around the same topics at home.

Student Speakers: Year 10 Pathways Panel

This week, the following students were invited to share their experiences of transitioning between Yr 10 and Yr 11 and offer their words of advice to current Yr 10 students. The teachers and students commented on how well spoken and authentic these Yr 12 students were in sharing their perspectives, encouraging Yr 10 to organise themselves, work hard and trial different strategies for their personal academic and social growth. Well done to all students involved.

Yr 12 Drama Collaborative Projects

Last Friday, Yr 11 and 12 IB Drama students presented their collaborative projects – written, directed and performed by the group. Students were only preparing these pieces from the middle of Term 1 and they presented an exceptional level of talent, thought and creativity. The audience was blown away by the depth of each piece, the use of the stage, the props, sounds and one another. Each project captured your attention immediately from the beginning and left the audience thinking well beyond the performances, covering important and meaningful topics, such as the life of cellist Jacqueline Du Pré, Dementia and the repetitive nature of adulthood. Well done to all students and staff involved in this incredible evening.

Congratulations and well done to the teams who participated in the Humpty Dumpty Balmoral Burn run last Sunday. Coach Walker said that each student who competed brought incredible spirit, camaraderie, and outstanding support for one another as they took on the challenging 420m ascent up Awaba Street, all for a great cause, dedicated to raising funds for the Humpty Dumpty Foundation, which supports children’s hospitals and health services across Australia. Our students’ participation exemplifies their commitment to service and community. See below for Yr 12 results.
