Year 10

Farewell Term 3

As Term 3 comes to a close, it’s clear that our Cremorne Campus students have had a productive and ultimately rewarding term. Yr 10 has been especially busy, juggling a full schedule of assessments and activities. From welcoming the Yr 6 students on the Senior Campus for lunch to participating in the Service Learning trip to Urban Walks and Cook4Good, they have shown dedication, thoughtfulness and engagement with their peers and the wider community. 

Term 4 promises to be just as exciting, with Australian Business Week, the Yr 10 Camp at Myall Lakes, and the Harbour Cruise all on the horizon. It will be a time for Yr 10 to step up into leadership roles as senior students, especially when supporting the new student leadership team by fulfilling Gate Duty whilst they are away at their Yr 11 Camp. These experiences are vital for Yr 10 as they lay the foundation for a strong commencement to their senior years.

After a busy term, Mr Millham and I wish all Yr 10 students a well-earned break. Whether you are going on holidays abroad or staying local, enjoy the time connecting with family and friends, we hope that you return refreshed, ready to focus and set achieving your goals for the remainder of the year.

Winter School Wrap-Up

I had the pleasure of visiting Winter School as the program drew to a close, and it was wonderful to hear students share the stories of what has made Winter School such a special part of their Redlands journey and indeed Redlands culture. Many of these students looked older and wiser than when they’d left, the mountain air clearly agreeing with them. Listening to them recall the wonderful adventures and connections they’ve experienced are a true testament to the success of the Winter School program.

Reflections from Mrs Lisa McDonald, Assistant Head of Winter School

Our largest cohort of Winter School students is travelling back to Sydney tomorrow after another incredibly successful season. Over the past eight weeks, we’ve been delighted to witness students ski and snowboard, with many making dramatic improvements in their skills.

Students have truly thrived at HCC, enhancing their independence both in the residential environment and academically. When not on the slopes, students enjoyed a variety of engaging activities, including HCC’s Got Talent, the Newspaper Fashion Show, Family Feud and games at Sport and Rec.

Year 10 students particularly appreciated living alongside their friends in the peaceful surroundings of HCC. While they have thoroughly enjoyed their time here, they are also looking forward to reuniting with their friends, family and pets back home.

Student Achievement

Congratulations to Eva Fitzhenry for achieving a Bronze medal at Nationals in the Division 1 Snowboard GS race! Eva also competed in the Moguls event for her division and, excitingly, stepped up to fill a spot for the older girls in Division 1—where they went on to win a medal! Well done, Eva!
