Foundation
Redlanders Breakfast
Many thanks to the Redlanders Association for arranging another fantastic community event and final instalment of their three-part speaker series for 2024.
The unique opportunity to hear from Professor Paul Glare Chair of Pain Medicine, University of Sydney, as well as A. Professor Karin Aubrey, and her team at the Pain Management Research Institute, who presented the ground breaking research they are doing was absolutely fascinating.
One of the most powerful moments of the session was learning about the successful research aimed at alleviating pain in breast cancer patients, a poignant example of how science is helping improve quality of life for those facing chronic pain.
A heartfelt thank you to Shaan and Geoff Verco of the Pain Foundation for generously arranging this unique event for our community, to Vicky Kvisle RL 1974 for coordinating, and to our wonderful MC alumna Lisa Wolf-Jones RL 1990.
It was truly a morning of learning, connection and inspiration.
Young Alumni Update: Madeleine D”Almeida RL 2023
During my time at Redlands, I played every sport I could – not because I had to, but because it was something I genuinely loved. Sports were a social outlet for me, a chance to spend time with friends while doing something that kept me grounded. Even in Year 12, when balancing academics and extracurriculars could be overwhelming, playing sports kept me sane. It gave me a routine, something to look forward to, and an escape from the pressures of school. That year, I even picked up basketball for the first time, and thanks to the incredible support and coaching at Redlands, I was able to progress quickly and really enjoy the game.
Now, being back at Redlands as a coach is amazing. I love getting to see the program from a new perspective and contribute to the same sports I was once a part of. Teaching what I’ve learned is rewarding, and it’s a great way to stay connected to a community I value so much.
I also took Art and Textiles during my senior years. Even though managing everything seemed challenging, these subjects never felt like a burden. They were creative outlets that brought balance and excitement to my schedule. What I learned in those classes continues to be valuable in my design degree at uni, where I apply those skills to coding websites and apps, understanding design theories, and creating graphic design projects.
