Community Update

It was a pleasure to have our grandparents and special friends on the Junior Campus late last week. Our students and staff were delighted and excited to host our guests in classrooms and around the Piazza during morning recess. On Monday, we will continue the celebration of Father’s Day with coffee in the Piazza for our Junior and Prep School Dads. Wishing all our Dads a Happy Father’s Day for Sunday.

My thanks to those who donated uniforms, and to the Redlands Uniform Shop and the ever active and passionate Redlands Parent and Friends Association (RPFA) for their collective effort in running a Second Hand Uniform Sale this Saturday from 8.30am to 10.30am at 1 Monford Place (just around the corner from the Uniform Shop). This initiative enables us to recycle pre-loved uniforms back into the community whilst raising valuable funds for our means-tested Scholarship Fund.

A reminder that we will be hosting an information evening on the Redlands Parent and Carer Midawarr Arnhem Land Trip scheduled on Thursday 14 September. This session will provide more detailed information on this truly unique experience scheduled for May 2024 and offered exclusively to the Redlands community. This is quite literally a once in a lifetime opportunity to deeply explore miny’tji (art), manikay (song), bunggul (dance) and story-telling at Gulkula, the site of the annual Garma Festival. To reserve a place at our information evening please click here.

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.
