Redlands House/Transition Gold
Teddy Bears’ Picnic
Redlands House and their buddies from 6B joined together during morning tea for a Teddy Bears’ Picnic in support of Bandaged Bear Day. The interactions between the oldest and youngest members on the Junior Campus was very special and staff look forward to organising more events with buddies. The buddy system assists students to feel valued and supported, teaching important social skills and creating a caring ethos within the School. An astonishing $2,344.15 was raised through the generosity of the Redlands community.
International Day Celebrations
On Wednesday 10 April, Redlands will be celebrating International Day. Students may wear any costume or clothing of their choice that reflect another country or culture. A reminder that closed-in shoes and sun-safe clothes are required.
Easter Hat Parade
Orange Class Seniors and Transition Gold will be participating in the annual Easter Hat Parade. Yellow Class Juniors and Blue Class Juniors will watch the event and cheer on their friends. Parents are very welcome to come and watch the classes. The Parade will be held on Friday 12 April at approximately 12.00pm on the Preparatory School oval. To align with Prep School, we ask that parents create Easter hats with their child for the Parade at home prior to this event. We will collect the hats on the morning of the Parade at drop off time. It should be an entertaining morning for all involved and a lovely connection for the Preschool and Prep School. If parents wish to take their child home at the conclusion of the Parade, please inform your class teacher and collect your child from their classroom.
As a reminder to our community, although children giving each other chocolate eggs at school is a lovely idea, we ask that no chocolate eggs or sweets be brought to school. This is to ensure the health and safety of all our students and avoid the sadness associated with missing out or losing a gift. In lieu, hand-made cards would be welcomed.
