Off to a Great Start!
Our Junior classes are really starting to settle in and enjoying their days at Redlands. They are enjoying getting to know the routine, exploring the environment and making new friends. Over these first few weeks staff work on building relationships with the children, parents and families, and ensuring you all feel safe, comfortable and supported. As the children are gaining in confidence, staff are seeing some very interesting and amusing personalities.
The Seniors classes have already begun to learn about the importance of caring for their environment. The children have been discovering the essential role worms play in our gardens. The children were excited to learn that earthworms are responsible for a lot of the things that help make our soil good enough to grow healthy plants and provide us food. They were able to meet some friendly worms during their Environmental Studies lesson and some students were even happy to hold the worms in their hand. There is a worm farm in our playground, in which we throw our daily food scraps, feeding the worms so they provide us with healthy compost and juice which is recycled in the gardens.
Our Transition Gold students are loving the learning space in “big school” and are actively exploring their new environment. The children are settling in well and are getting to know each other and their teachers. They do love coming down to the Redlands House playground after lunch, to see their old friends too.

Congratulations to Miss Pyky
We are pleased to announce that Miss Tiia Pyky (Teacher Assistant), and her partner Kristian, are expecting their first child later in the year.
