Year 8

This Week

Thank you to all parents who joined the second Parent Zoom session earlier this week.  These sessions have been a valuable time to connect “face-to-face”, hearing details regarding recent school updates and to clarify any lingering questions. Please continue to send through any queries specific to Yr 8 students to the Year Advisors by email and we will get back to you as soon as possible. 

We look forward to welcoming all Year 8 students back to campus on Thursday 14 May in their Sport uniform. 

Upcoming Events

Friday 8 May – Join other Redlanders in the sleep-out for youth homelessness.  See details below and in the iLearn Service Page.

Sunday 10 May – Participate virtually in the Mother’s Day Classic.  Details for this event were shared in last week’s Note Day and in the iLearn Service Page.

Tuesday 12 May – Join presenter Brett Lee in a Cybersafety Parent Webinar for all parents of students in Yrs 7-9.  More information will be coming out to parents shortly. 

School photographs have arrived and will be distributed starting Week 3 when students begin returning to campus.  If you missed the chance to order school photos, there is still a chance to place an order.  More information to come Wk 3. 

Wednesday 5 August for Yr 8 Parent Teacher Evening.  This is a fantastic opportunity to meet all of your child’s teachers and to hear how your child is going in each subject. 

Service

Exciting Service initiatives including a Camp In tomorrow night, can be found on the Service and Social Engagement article in this week’s Note Day.
