Redlander Parents Morning Tea

We were thrilled to welcome a special group of past students back to campus last Friday whose children now enjoy the benefits of a Redlands education and all the opportunities the School offers. This special event highlights a tradition of multigenerational families valuing a Redlands education and continuing connections with our community. It was exciting to learn that one attendee’s family connection goes back to least 1920 when their own grandmother was a student here.

We also welcomed Dr Jennifer Farrell, the President of the Redlanders Alumni Association. Jennifer graduated from Redlands in 1962 and was also a past teacher and both her children received a Redlands education. Alumni engagement and support is so vital to our community and Redlanders connect with the School during the year as speakers or mentors, and to support numerous events.

Year 7 Meet and Greet – Fahl Garden

It was wonderful to see many Year 7 parents gathering on Monday for their teacher and tutors Meet and Greet.  This exceptional outdoor space, now being used for both recreational and educational purposes, has been named the Fahl Garden. Redlander Lynette Fahl passed away in May 1963 after completing her Intermediate Certificate the previous year.

In 1980, Lynette’s father, Richard Fahl bequeathed the proceeds of the sale of his house to Redlands, which the late John Roberts, who was Treasurer at the time, considered to be extremely important in terms of supporting the School financially at a critical time. The Board resolved to name the new landscaped podium the Fahl Garden in recognition of the entire family.  

Thank you again for your support of this wonderful development!

We are delighted to announce the Science and Innovation Luncheon which is behind held to celebrate a long history of Science and Innovation at Redlands. Proceeds from this event will be dedicated to the Dr Sue Morey AM Scholarship to honour and celebrate her outstanding service achievements and standards of excellence with the establishment of a new Redlands Foundation Scholarship, strictly means-tested and is awarded annually for the entire six years of a Redlands Secondary School education.

Dr Sue Morey made an enormous contribution with over 60 years of service in the area of community health within cities as well as across regional and rural Australia and is perhaps best known for her dedicated leadership as Chief Health Officer for NSW from 1988 to 1994.
