Friends of Ballet and Dance Morning Tea

FOBD and Ms Karen Martin would like to invite you to a Morning Tea on Thursday 26 March from 8.30 – 10.00am in Parkes Hall. This is a great opportunity to chat to other parents in different Year Groups. 

Tea and coffee will be provided, please bring a small plate to share if possible. 

To do our part in helping to save the planet, we will also be selling (for a very small fee) second hand RAD uniforms including character and tap shoes. We also have some Ballet bun boxes to sell too. If you have any good quality RAD uniform that your child no longer needs, please drop them into the Donations tub in Parkes Hall. We look forward to seeing you there!

Curriculum Dance

Gala Arts

This year’s Gala Arts performance will take place on Friday 29 May in the Concert Hall at The Concourse at Chatswood with auditions held this term. 

This year we are pleased to announce that we have a new Multidisciplinary category. In this category, students are encouraged to develop innovative performances which contain elements from two or more categories, where the contribution from the different performers is to be considered equally. Tickets will be on sale after the contestants are announced at the end of Term 1. Mark your diary with this wonderful event for Performing Arts at Redlands. It is always an exceptional evening as we celebrate the talents of our students.
