FUSE Cup Reflection – Ines Tan (Year 7)
I had an exciting time at the Fuse Cup on Tuesday, competing in Mario Kart against other schools and bonding with boys in Year 7 and Year 8. The Fuse Cup is an eSports Club event where students in Years 5 to 8 participate in a safe, inclusive, and structured school-based competition, promoting positive gaming behaviours and digital well-being.
During the event, we played 11 heats of Mario Kart to determine the top four players who would advance to the quarterfinals. After a break, we had timed races, providing a second chance for the top five players to enter the quarterfinals. In the timed races, we competed to achieve the fastest time on one of the three laps. Following this, we had semifinal matches and finals to determine the winners.
My favourite part of the event was during the timed races, where the other boys were supportive, offering tips and strategies to help me improve my time. Although I didn’t make it to the quarterfinals, I appreciated the support and encouragement. I had a great time at the Fuse Cup and hope to do even better next year.
Explore Creativity and Sustainability at Textiles Club – Thursdays at Lunchtime
The Textiles Club is in full swing, and we warmly invite your child to join this club which is held during lunchtime on Thursdays in LH 1.6.
Our Sustainable Textiles Project involves students working on designing and making pajamas from recycled materials. This hands-on activity not only fosters creativity but also encourages environmental responsibility. By using patterns to custom-make their pajamas, students are developing valuable skills in design and craftsmanship while learning about the impact of their choices on the environment.
The Textiles Club offers a wonderful opportunity for students to engage in a fun and educational activity outside of their regular classes. It’s a space where they can explore their artistic talents, collaborate with peers, and be part of a project that contributes positively to our planet.
We believe that participating in the Textiles Club will be a rewarding experience for your child. It’s a chance for them to enhance their creative abilities, gain hands-on experience, and be part of a supportive and enthusiastic community.
We look forward to welcoming new members and sharing the joy of textiles with them!
The Regular August/September Magazine – Monday Lunchtime
The Irregular Club is a student run online news publication. All students are welcome to join The Irregular to contribute their ‘story’ to the school’s news flow!
The Irregular’s goal is to provide a space for sharing content relevant to students and to allow for student commentary on school life, and broader community and world concerns.
The Irregular Newspaper club meets in LH2.6 during Monday lunchtimes.
Below is the August/September issue of the The Regular newsletter.
Celebrating Book Week With Book Club
The Redlands Book Club, hosted every Wednesday lunch in the Library, is a fantastic opportunity to meet with fellow book lovers to discuss the wonderful fictional worlds through which we traverse. Alongside following a traditionally structured “book club” approach, where we read books about unique monthly themes (August’s is fantasy!), we also propose bookish initiatives, such as Hot 100 book lists and school-wide reading challenges, to inculcate in Redlands a culture of reading, allowing us all to reap its many marvelous benefits! So, join us at the Roseby Library during lunchtime on Wednesdays to be part of Redlands’ very first book club!
