It was a fantastic day across all the Redlands venues last weekend, with players, opposition and the wider Redlands community all donning a touch of pink to support the McGrath Foundation.

AFL

Firstly, congratulations to all participants in the AFL program for having a successful day supporting Pink sock round. All students supported the cause – which was important to see.

Redlands 1s had a strong win over Shore 2: 87-21.

Unfortunately, Redlands 2s had a tough game against Cranbrook 39-109.

Although the results didn’t reflect the improvement from all players, it was impressive to see a resilient attitude.

Super proud of the boys and their efforts.

Balmoral Burn

I am proud to share the outstanding efforts of our Redlands teams at the Balmoral Burn Teams Relay. 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 today exemplifies their commitment to service and community.

Here are the results of their efforts:

Senior Boys

• Team 1- Freddie Yates, Isaac Brooks, Hamish Campbell, Conor Petersen – 6th place (Isaac Brooks was the first up the hill and had the quickest individual run overall)
• Team 2 – Hugo Jones, Charles Hargrave, Maxwell Perry, Cam Simpson – 8th place
• Team 3 – Tobe Cornelius, Rory Howe, Hiro Phillips, Daniel Kopper – 10th place
• Team 4 – Ayden Shaw, Ernie Hart, Jet Gwilliam, Harrison Meagher – 14th place

Senior Girls

• Team 1 – Olivia Law, Amber Kusano, Immy Howard – 9th place (The team would have placed 2nd overall but were one team member down. Amber Kusano had to run back down the hill and do a second lap back up but didn’t quite make it down in time, and then had to put on another bib to run back up again!)
• Team 2 – Amynta Field, Jemima Hugman, Annabelle Hwang, Sarah Zeppel – 10th place
• Team 3 – Lauren Dower, Sela Tea, Piper Bradley, Clara Blackstock – 16th place

Furthermore, our Year 11 students organized a Bake Sale on Friday, raising over $500.00 to contribute to this worthy cause. The exact amount will be confirmed by accounts tomorrow, along with today’s teams total amount for the Balmoral Burn Humpty Dumpty Fundraiser.

Thank you to all the students for their dedication and to all the parents who came out to support this event, and to Ms Jessica Carroll and Erika Yamamoto for all their assistance.

All photos from Friday’s Bake Sale can be accessed here.

Cross Country

It was a great day out at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre yesterday for the ISA Cross Country Carnival. There were a number of fantastic individual results with some highlights from the carnival including:

• Liv Law (Yr 8) winning the U14 Girls
• Immi Howard (Yr 10) winning the U16 Girls
• Isaac Brooks (Yr 12) winning the 18 Boys
• Redlands Intermediate Girls (U15 & U16) also won the Intermediate Girls Division

There will be a full breakdown of results available in next week’s Note Day.

Today, 24 students represented Redlands/ISA at the CIS XC Championships held at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre. Despite the muddy and tough conditions, it was fantastic to see our students putting so much effort into their runs today.

Highlights from today include:

• Isaac Brooks finished 6th in the 18 Years 8k, qualifying for the NSW All Schools.
• Immy Howard finished 9th in the 15 Years 4k, also qualifying for the NSW All Schools.
• The Redlands 16-year-old girls team came 2nd overall. The team included Immi Howard (9th), Amber Kusano (21st), Genevieve Holt (30th), and Alanah Winder (43rd).
• Stella Brock (Year 7) showed remarkable sportsmanship by sacrificing her own race to assist a Queenwood girl who had a bad fall. She walked her to the emergency tent, an act of kindness that impressed both the ISA and CIS Convenors.
• 3rd in the 16 Years Boys Team Event: Otto Ross-Sampson, Charles Hargrave, Liam Riddell, Toby Healey

Well done to all our students for their outstanding performance and sportsmanship!

Full list of results below:

Football

The Pink Sock Round 5 was full of action and wet weather at the home of Redlands Football Macquarie University. We are so grateful the school has provided great facilities for our football players to play in all conditions.

 The rain didn’t stop the fun and enjoyment for the kids to play Football.  A big thanks to the Friends of Football/Rugby and AFL who combined to run Pink Sock Day and raising money for “Cancer”.

In the Girls program, most of the games were played in the rain and some had to be abandoned because of the rain but we did well to secure 3 wins and 1 loss on the day.

In the Boys program we also had games played in the rain and we managed to play and finish most of the game’s and they were highly competitive matches.

Overall, a great effort by all the Redlands Teams after 5 rounds and our aim is to keep improving the players and get as many teams as possible playing finals football.

A reminder that there are no games this long weekend and we will be back to training Tuesday 11 June 2024.

Congratulations to the ISA team Arkie Riches and Jasmine Black participating in the CIS Tournament and to our ISA Captain Jasmine Black selected as the CIS Team.

Hockey

Pink Sock Day was a great success for our Hockey community. Our 1^st Girls were up against Barker for the first game of the day, and they came out with a point to prove. Coming off the back of a good win against SACS, the team was excited for a grudge match against Barker. Even with a few late withdrawals due to sickness, our 1^st Girls came out firing from the early stages of the game and finished with a 4-2 win. The 2nd Girls were up next against Blue Mountains and had mixed feelings about this game. The team had a great offensive effort and scored 2 early goals. Blue Mountains counter attack was strong and fought back to make it 2-2.

3^rd Girls also came up against a Blue Mountains side and ended up drawing 1-1. The girls had a mixed game although coach Lucy was encouraged to see the girls working on a few things from training. Wishing everyone a relaxing long weekend and we’ll see everyone at training on Tuesday 11^th June.

Huge thanks to Friends of Hockey and all players for making the Pink Sock Round a huge success!

Also, huge congratulations to Jess Van Extel, Megan Kirkpatrick and Amelia Roy making the ISA team and Jess getting selected for CIS.

Let’s go Redlands!

Netball

Last Saturday saw many colourful students with pink socks and ribbons play some great netball.  It was so good to see the girls get behind our Redlands Charity round.

Our Pink Sock Day & Bake stall was fantastic and created a lovely, vibrant and joyful welcome on a very cold, dreary morning. Thank you so much to our Friends of Netball team and all the parents and players who baked goods, set up our pink area, served, cleaned up and got involved. It was a great vibe and a big success and we were so lucky we were out of the rain for the morning. As always- the choice to play netball this season is a winning one ???? no rained off fixtures ever- yeh! This IS the sport that just keeps giving.

We had a total of 15 fixtures at NBISC on the weekend and we had more wins than losses which is also always a bonus. The levels of performance and effort are growing each week , it is awesome to see. We are half way through the season now. I would encourage you all to talk with your girls about keeping up their momentum, energy and commitment to trainings as we continue for another 5 rounds. A reminder this weekend is the King’s Birthday and there are no games.

The next ISA round is June 15^th with most teams travelling to Chevalier College. There are 2 internal games happening next week. These teams will not play on 15^th June but will play on 13^th June in their training sessions. These teams are the Junior G & H ( in the Lang Gym) and Inter D & E ( in Dunnet Hall).

It would be great to see some of the teams who have internal games come and support the First VII who are playing at St Pauls Grammar if they can.

Rugby

Thank you to all for their time and goodies over the weekend for Pink Sock Round! The Rugby community contributed heavily to the success on the grounds at Mac Uni. 

A reminder this weekend there are no fixtures for the long weekend, on our Rugby Pulse page, scroll down to view the draft draw for the remainder of the season with official ISA Fixtures kicking off next weekend.

Tennis 

Congratulations to all the ISA teams on the weekend who played, we had a very successful day. Please note the ISA teams have changed slightly, see below updated ISA teams. 

Despite a few showers, we were lucky to get most of the matches played on Saturday before the rain came!

Unfortunately the matches against Central Coast Grammar were cancelled due to rain.

There were some close matches and good wins at Mosman Lawn Tennis Club.

ISA 3 won 6-2, ISA 7 won 7-1 and ISA 8 won 8-0 against St Augustine’s and ISA 11 won 5-3 against St Andrew’s Cathedral School.

ISA 9 had a great away match to win 8-0 against Oxley College.

Well done to all the teams!  A great effort!

No matches this weekend due to the public holiday.

Water Polo

Trainer of the week: This season we will name players/trainers of the week throughout the term on Note Day each week. These players demonstrate commitment to the team in training and strong performance in games.

• Opens Girls: Sela Tea
• Inters Girls: Maddie Dunnet
• Iners Boys: Max Mazlin

Focus for the week:

Following last week’s games, we will continue to focus on our defensive skills in the pool. Specifically, we will be further refining our positioning, awareness and agility in order to react quickly in defensive situations, keep up with opponents and legally impede their movements. In addition to this, another takeaway from the previous matches is our general fitness in the water, particularly in the last half of the games. As such, we will also be looking to improve our cardiovascular endurance to sustain player effort and intensity throughout the entirety of future games. We plan to build on these pivotal areas through a combination of swimming drills, ball exercises and game simulations on Thursday afternoon.

A few reminders:

• Fixtures have been loaded onto Pulse and the student’s calendar. We encourage all students to download the Redlands App
• Open Water Polo girls, your compulsory 1x Gym session on Tuesdays 3.30-4.30pm. Attendance is recorded.
• Inter teams, to attend the Fitness session, please read the Fitness Center pulse page. Inter team students can select the morning they wish to attend but will need to register their attendance.
• Water polo is a representative sport and as such attendance is compulsory to all training and fixtures. Absences must be logged through Pulse sport absence form.
