Year 11

Gala Arts 

Last Friday’s Gala Arts at The Concourse was spectacular, showcasing the diverse range of talents of our Year Group in Theatre, Dance, Vocal and Instrumental categories. Congratulations to all the participants for their enthusiasm and passion and in particular to Chloe Church, and her partner Samantha Menzel, who won both the Dance category and the Winners of the Overall Prize for Gala Arts. The students performed a sublime dance duo choreographed by themselves.  There was more success from our Year 11 students with Asha Boswarva, Rebecca Burchett and Patrick Friedlander winning the Theatre category, and Poppi Kent and Alisha Karunagaran winning the Vocal category. Bravo to all! 

Paul Dillon Parent Talk 

Just a reminder that Paul Dillon will hold a parent session on Thursday 14 June from 6.00-7.30pm at Redlands Hall. Paul is a well-received speaker who will present on the topic Adolescents and ‘risk taking’: Why do teens do the things they do and what can you do about it? All parents are encouraged to attend this event.   

HSC Assessments

A reminder about the procedure to be followed if students are sick, or unable to attend a scheduled assessment task. It is essential that both the class teacher and the Dean of Studies, Mr David Randall, are informed as soon as possible. In the interests of fairness, the NSW Educational Standards Authority (NESA) require us to apply a clear assessment policy. This can be found in the Yr 11 Assessment Booklet, located on the Yr 11 page of Redlands Pulse. It is also on the Pastoral iLearn page for Yr 11.

Basically, any extension or alternative date can only be approved by the Dean of Studies. Application forms for illness and misadventure, and for permission to be absent on the date of a task, can be found at the Secondary School Office. Any application must be made directly to the Dean of Studies and be accompanied by the relevant documentation, a doctor’s certificate in the case of illness.

Failure to submit an assessment, or to attend one on the due date, will result in the award of zero for that task unless the correct procedure has been followed as outlined above.
