Community Update
Thank you for your continued support of Redlands. We have received many positive messages from our community and these have been greatly received by our staff. We will continue to work in partnership with parents and carers to make this time as positive and enriching for our community as possible.
Fresh off the back of our wonderful Family Trivia night, we are delighted to announce an exciting new online event for our community – Come Zoom Dine With Us! Redlands Head of Catering and Chef Joel Squire will demonstrate and guide us through a delicious and easy family friendly recipe of Baked White Chicken Enchiladas (please note that a vegetarian option will also be available). Cook along with your family, and have fun plating up this meal while sharing your experience with other Redlands families, all under the watchful eye of Chef Joel. This will be a dining experience not to miss! Come Zoom Dine With Us will take place from 6.00pm on Monday, 6 September. Please register your interest to participate here. Recipe, ingredients and Zoom details will be emailed to registered families in advance of this highly anticipated enchilada masterclass.
As well as supporting our students’ wellbeing, our Deans of Students encouraged our staff to take an hour each day to focus on their own wellbeing. This was universally embraced by staff who eagerly adopted the challenge and generously shared the ways they were keeping their wellness in check. Click here to see our staff wellness activities.
Thank you to those in the community who have supported the Legacy Gift program. For those who have yet to purchase their gift, there is still time. To read more on this important and noble cause, along with a lovely reflection on Science Week and Redlands long history of Science Education, please visit the Foundation section.
If you are looking to connect with our community for support then please reach out to us here at the School or the passionate and diverse experience of our class and year group parents, the RPFA and Friends of Groups who support Redlands families.
