Community Update
It has been lovely to experience the coming together of staff, students, alumni, our Board and special guests in celebration of Heritage Week in our 140th year. As a community, we value the relationships we have with each other. Our students past and present, families, staff and members of local and global communities are valued and included through a shared connection with Redlands. Foundation Day, to be celebrated tomorrow, provides us with the unique opportunity to share and connect our past with the present and future of the School.
Thanks to the donations made by our alumni, members of staff and the wider Redlands community, our Archives are fortunate to have a rich and diverse collection of material which comprehensively documents the history of the School.
Our Archives team continue to excel in passionately showcasing and sharing our School’s rich history with our community through a diverse range of activities and initiatives that include exhibits, displays, storytelling and interactive activities. Heritage Week sees the culmination of months of preparing, curating and collaborating with our community in celebration of our School
School archives are an essential and important component of the Community Engagement team’s function. The collection and preservation of our legally, intellectually, culturally and historically important records and artefacts functions as the memory vault for Redlands staff, students, families, friends and associates, past and present.

Each year the graduating class at Redlands celebrate and acknowledge their Redlands education with a Legacy Gift. The Legacy Gift provides the cohort with a unique opportunity to thank the School for its support, encouragement and the opportunities offered while studying at Redlands. To read more on this important and noble cause, along with an update of local and global Alumni engagement, check out the Foundation section.
Redlands is a school in the Anglican tradition that seeks to give students the opportunity to understand the Christian faith in a relevant and accessible way. The Redlands Parents’ Prayer Group provides our current parent community with the opportunity to come together in prayer. The next meeting of the group will take place in the Arnold Library on the Junior Campus on Tuesday 18 June from 5.30pm to 6.30pm. All welcome.
I remain grateful for the continued guidance and support our community provides and, as ever, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Community Engagement team should you have any feedback, suggestions or questions.
