Community Update
It was lovely to experience the coming together of students, staff, alumni, our Board and special guests in celebration of Heritage Week. 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 provided us with the unique opportunity to share and connect our past with the present and future of the School.
Save the Date – we are delighted to announce that the School will be hosting a Community Day on Saturday, 4 September. Community Day will take a different format to that of our traditional Spring Fair due to the ongoing and unforeseen challenges of COVID-19. We will share further details of this Redlands community event early next term.
As we continue to develop further engagement opportunities on campus we are also looking to enhance your connection with the School through a review of the various communication channels available. Whilst the Redlands App has been a welcome addition to the School’s communication channels we recognise that there is still some work to do in streamlining and simplifying the access and usability of information.
As these initiatives and improvements are being developed, I encourage a continued connection to the significant and diverse experience of our class and year group parents, the RPFA and Friends of Groups that support our many and varied community activities and events.
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.
