Community Update
We are not just a school, we are a community … a community that generously welcomes the opportunity to come together in celebration and support of a wonderful cause. It was a genuine pleasure to join parents, carers and friends of Redlands at the Winter Wonderland Gala Ball on Saturday evening for this truly memorable event. Thank you to our passionate organising committee, our guests, partners and donors and of course our talented alumni performers for bringing this event to life. A special note of thanks to our MC, Redlands alumna and designated Winter Queen, Catriona Rowntree, who kept us all highly entertained, in line and on target … whilst score checking our mighty Matildas progress throughout! To read more about our Gala Ball and to view some of the terrific images captured please check out the Foundation section of today’s Note Day.
We recognise the vital relationship between home and school and our wonderful Redlands Parents and Friends Association, Parent Contact Groups, Friends of Groups, Class and Year Group Parent volunteers all help to keep our school community connected, included and supported.
Our RPFA Meeting this week included the Redlands Chair of the Board, Principal and Deputy Principal who all spoke passionately about the exciting array of current and future activities, initiatives and programs the School has planned. For 139 years, the Redlands culture has been one of engagement, excellence, acceptance and innovation, translating to success for our students and staff, and our connection to community remains a core focus for our continued growth and prosperity.
A reminder that the Redlands Parent Prayer Group will gather on Monday 21 August from 7 to 8pm in the David Armstrong Room at St Peter’s Anglican Church in Cremorne, providing the opportunity for those interested to come together in prayer for our school community.
Thank you for your continued guidance and support and as ever, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Community Engagement team, or to me directly, should you have any feedback, suggestions or questions.
