Coralie Amos OAM Scholarship
Thank you to all members of our community who joined us to support our efforts in raising funds for the Coralie Amos OAM Scholarship. With everyone’s contributions we were able to raise close to $200K this year. This includes income from donations as well as net proceeds from events such as Melbourne Cup, RPFA-led Second Hand Uniform Sales and the Year 12 student-led Legacy Gift.
This scholarship will be awarded next year to a successful candidate who will commence in Year 7 2026.
Coralie’s commitment to Redlands has been extraordinary and we greatly appreciate her involvement and personal advocacy in this important initiative.
Sam Power RL 2009, Lecturer in Statistical Science at University of Bristol
We are delighted to share a recent update from Samuel Power Redlander 2009, currently lecturing at the University of Bristol, UK.
During his time at Redlands Sam was one of only five students in NSW/ACT to get a top mark in IB Higher Level Mathematics, and had part of his IB Extended Essay published in the UNSW Mathematics Journal Parabola (Vol 46.2).
Upon finishing his IB studies, Sam was accepted to read Mathematics at the University of Oxford. There he pursued the MMath degree at St Hugh’s College, obtaining a Double First for his four years of studies, alongside numerous college awards and scholarships.
Outside of his studies, he participated in in the Oxford University Australian Football Club. He was also the Head Coach for the St Hugh’s Women’s Football Club, and promoted weekly electronic music events at the O2 Academy Oxford.
After his undergraduate studies, Sam worked in Hong Kong for two years as an Education Consultant, but was soon drawn back to the world of mathematics. From 2016 to 2020, Sam then went on to study for his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Mathematical Analysis and Statistics at the University of Cambridge, as a member of Churchill College.
Soon after, he joined the School of Mathematics at the University of Bristol as a Senior Research Associate, eventually progressing to his current role as Lecturer in January of 2024. In this role, he enjoys a mixture of conducting his own mathematical research, teaching undergraduate students, and mentoring postgraduate research students.
“I fondly remember my time at Redlands, making many friends through both my studies and sports (particularly Mathematics and Football, respectively). I also benefited greatly from the formative mentorship which I received from my Maths teacher at Redlands, Dr Gabriel Chircu, who I will always remember as having elevated my view of how exciting the study of Mathematics could be, and who provided great encouragement for me to follow along my current path.”
