Volunteering at Redlands

We are very proud of our supportive community and the incredible involvement of our parents to lead and participate in various initiatives. One of these initiatives is the Second Hand Uniform Sale which has a long tradition at Redlands. A team of dedicated parent volunteers continue offering this service to our community. This initiative not only supports our Sustainability program, proceeds raised from this sale are contributed towards the means-tested Redlands Foundation Scholarship, the recent one named after Dr Sue Morey AM. Thank you to the RPFA Committee and all volunteers for organising another one on Saturday 1 April. For further details, please visit the RPFA page.

Thank you sincerely to many members of our Redlands community for your generosity and ongoing support! With your help and involvement we can make a difference in the life of deserving students who otherwise would not get the opportunity to experience a Redlands education.

Preserving our Heritage

As part of the School’s ongoing renovation scheme, the Parkes Building on the Junior Campus was upgraded during the summer holidays. The upstairs floor, a home for our Year 3 and 4 classrooms, now enjoys more contemporary furniture as part of the upgrade.

This heritage-listed building had its foundation stone laid on 6 October 1934 and was opened on 6 July 1935. It was a site of former Cremorne Girls High and was bought by Redlands in late 1989 from the NSW Government thanks to the huge support from the Redlands Community at the time. It has become an integral part of the Junior Campus.

Emma Colenbrander RL 2006 visits us from London

We were thrilled to welcome Young Alumni Award Winner Emma Colenbrander (RL 2006) back to Campus on Monday. Emma was a Redlands Academic Scholar and Captain of Basketball. She was also Dux of Year 12 in 2006. Although her visit to Sydney was brief, she made time to ‘Give Back’ to her Alma Mater, speaking with Year 11 students about her journey and career pathways that lead her from Redlands to London where she is now a Director at Spring Impact. She also joined a Year 5 Thinking Routines Session on ‘Our Fragile Environment’ where students were able to ask her lots of questions. Emma is a co-founder of Pollinate Energy, an internationally recognised social business, based in India. Its core mission is to bring life-changing products to people who need them most. Awards include UN Momentum for Change Award, UN SEED Award, Global Humanitarian Engineering Award, Unilever Change maker Finalist, Australian Social Enterprise ‘One to Watch’ Award and Australian representative for the global Chivas Venture competition.
