Parent Presentation

Technology Addiction and Sleep – Wednesday 14 August 6.00-7.30pm

Good sleep is crucial to health and wellbeing. The use of digital devices, especially before bedtime, can have a major impact on sleep quality. Child psychiatrist Dr Philip Tam and sleep expert Lisa Maltman will discuss how to help your child create good sleep habits and avoid the pitfalls of too much technology. Dr Philip Tam is an award-winning child psychiatrist, researcher and pioneer in internet-related psychological disorders and video-game addictions. He will examine how to address these often-challenging problems in young people. Lisa Maltman is the founder of The Sleep Connection, established to meet the growing need to educate students, teachers and parents in schools on the importance of sleep health, and works closely with the Woolcock Medical Institute in Sydney, a body world-renowned in the area of sleep research. We are pleased to have Dr Philip Tam and Lisa Maltman present on these important topics on Wednesday 14 August from 6.00-7.30pm in Redlands Hall. All Secondary School parents are invited to attend. No RSVP is necessary.

Sleeping Tip of the Week

Bed is for sleep, not screens. Computers, phones and TV can disrupt your sleep. Your mind needs to associate being in bed with sleeping rather than watching TV or using your computer. Don’t stay in bed if you’re wide awake.

Driving to School

All students who are driving to and from school, are required to complete the Student Application to Drive To and From School form. 

Any student who is travelling as a passenger in a vehicle driven to and from school by a Redlands student is also required to complete the Student Application to be a Passenger Form. 

These forms are located in the Secondary School Office. Both forms will need to be signed off by the respective parents/carers, the driving student, the student passenger and Year Advisor with a copy of their licence before being handed in to the Secondary School Office.
