Foundation

Last week I attended a conference focusing on the Advancement side of schools and was very proud of our achievements here at Redlands. Our community has a strong and generous tradition of service and giving. Together we have made a difference which benefits current students and future generations.

Another opportunity is to support the restoration of a precious part of Redlands’ heritage, the Liggins Building, the only remaining element of our school grounds linking almost 100 years (next year!) of Redlanders.

Protecting our precious heritage: Liggins Restoration Appeal

The Liggins Building, originally known as Liggins House, opened on 9 May 1923 in honour of Redlands’ co-founder Elizabeth Liggins. First a boarding house, then kitchen, art room, laboratory, pottery workshop and during WWII, it even housed the School’s bomb shelter. Today, it comprises much loved Language classrooms and the Staff Common Room. Throughout its history, our community has generously supported some of its upgrades, including the 2007 Science Block/Liggins Atrium Project enjoyed by students today.

The proposed restoration will help preserve its historic façade, restore the roof and brickwork, refurbish the interior and provide an exceptional learning environment for our students.

Your support of the Liggins Restoration Appeal will help revive this treasured icon for generations of Redlanders to enjoy.

If you wish to secure a recognition plaque for your donation they are available in three sizes ($1,000, $5,000 or $10,000). Please contact me directly.
