Community Update
It was a pleasure to have our Dads and special friends on the Junior Campus earlier this week, extending Father’s Day celebrations into another day! Our students and staff were delighted and excited to host our guests before School for coffee and snacks in the Piazza before joining in classroom and outdoor activities.
Excitement is building with just over six weeks to go until our highly anticipated Festival of Redlands that will take place on Saturday 19 October on our Junior Campus. Our Festival of Redlands will shine a light on 140 years of the School highlighting our rich and diverse culture, growth, talent and community. From 1-5pm, the Festival will showcase Performing Arts, Sports, Academics, Visual Arts, Innovative Design and Outdoor Education and feature an international food extravaganza and a House Challenge. Tickets go on sale next week and more information can be found in the RPFA section of Note Day, along with information on the wide range of other parent and carer events that continue to connect our community.
The Redlands Parents’ Prayer Group provides our current parent community with the opportunity to come together in prayer. We invite you to join our Chaplains and Principal for our Term 3 gathering on Tuesday 17 September from 5.30 to 6.30pm in the Staff Room (2nd Floor) in the Liggins Building on the Senior Campus. Light refreshments will be provided, during an informal time of fellowship and prayer. Please extend this invitation to any other parents or families you think would appreciate being included.
A reminder that clean pre-loved uniforms can be donated through the Uniform Shop for the upcoming Second Uniform Sale that will take place on Friday 13 September. This initiative enables us to recycle pre-loved uniforms back into the community whilst raising valuable funds for our means-tested Scholarship Fund. Further details can again be found in the RPFA section of today’s Note Day.
Thank you for your continued guidance and support and as ever, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Community Engagement team, or to me directly, should you have any feedback, suggestions or questions.
