Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation at City2Surf: Volunteering and participation for a cause
On Sunday, Charlotte Humphreys and Thomas Dewar dedicated their time to volunteer for the Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation during the City2Surf event. As the world’s largest fun run, the City2Surf attracts thousands of participants, making it the perfect platform to raise awareness for the Foundation’s vital work.
The Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation is committed to transforming the lives of sick children by funding advanced medical research, equipment, and world-class care at the Sydney Children’s Hospital in Randwick. The Foundation’s mission is to ensure that every child receives the best possible care, no matter the severity of their condition.
At the finish line of the City2Surf, Charlotte and Thomas handed out water to exhausted runners for several hours. Their efforts not only provided much-needed refreshment to the participants but also embodied the spirit of giving that the Foundation champions. By supporting events like these, the Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation continues to engage the community in its mission to create a healthier future for children.
In addition to the volunteers, congratulations to Lachlan Green, Annabelle Hwang, Jemima Hugman, Angus McInnes, Hiro Phillips, Tobe Cornelius, and Krishna Gupta who took part in the City2Surf. Their participation not only demonstrates their commitment to personal fitness but also highlights their dedication to supporting the Foundation’s cause. Running for a good cause, they joined thousands of others in the 14-kilometre race from Hyde Park to Bondi Beach, helping to raise both funds and awareness for the vital work carried out by the Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation. Their involvement is a testament to the power of community in making a difference in the lives of sick children.
Together, they were able to raise over $2,500; however, they would love further donations. Here is also the link to their fundraising page.
Away by Michael Gow
Congratulations to our Yr 11 students for their incredible work in bringing Away by Michael Gow to life! This iconic Australian play, set in the late 1960s, explores themes of family, grief and reconciliation as three families navigate the complexities of life during a summer holiday. Your dedication and passion in portraying these powerful stories were deeply moving.
Your brilliant acting skills brought these complex characters to life, holding the audience’s attention from start to finish. The attention to detail in costumes and production design added depth to the performance, making the story even more impactful.
A huge thank you to our Director, Kathryn Smith, whose guidance and vision were instrumental in the success of this production.
Students involved: Max Perry, Charlee Kwintner, Josh Farrant, Freya Kittle, Tali Feldman, Krishna Gupta, Millie Winton, Eshan Eliatamby, Aneke Golowenko, Liam Petersen, Jasper Houchell, Ben Hanning, Sarah Zeppel, Eliza Draper, Remie Gibbs, Hiro Phillips, Megan Kirkpatrick, Abbie Sewell, Angus Baker, Jaiden Murphy, Betti Butcher, Jasper Hanly-Atmore, Serafina Scotting, Juliette Treloar, Louis Abrahams, Daniel Koppers, Andrew Macourt, and Jessica Lee.
School Climate Survey – Week 4
This week, students were invited to complete a School Climate Survey. The survey was anonymous and aimed to gather data from the student body regarding the climate at Redlands. It provided an opportunity for students to give feedback on the school environment, acknowledge peers who contributed positively, or voice any concerns. Once the data was collected, it was provided to the Year Advisor, Head of Secondary School, Counsellors and the Dean of Students. This information will help inform effective interventions and foster our inclusive community.
