Foundation
Coralie Amos, Redlander 1964, Captain of Tennis, Sports Captain of McDouall
We were honoured to welcome Coralie Amos OAM from the class of 1964 back to campus this week. We are delighted that the next Redlands Means-tested Scholarship will be named after Coralie, recognising her lifelong dedication to service.
The Scholarship is strictly means-tested and has been made possible by generous donations from parents, Alumni and friends within the Redlands community. It is aimed at providing a Redlands opportunity to a student from a family who would otherwise be unable to attend the School.

Beth O’Sullivan
At the end of 2023, Beth graduated with a First Class Honours in Design ANU College of Arts & Social Sciences and was awarded the University Medal for academic excellence.
Her thesis, Reefinity: Multispecies Design Through Materiality, Computational Design and Digital Fabrication , developed and explored a novel calcium carbonate material and its properties through 3D printing and press moulds. The research investigated the viability of this new material to form small, environmentally friendly objects for coral reef research and small-scale reef restoration. “I’m very excited to continue this research in my PhD. “
Claudia Vogel
Claudia graduated from the UTS with a Bachelor of Industrial Design. She realised that she had a particularly strong interest in designing and creating in wood. She has recently completed a one-year full-time fine furniture woodworking course at the Sturt School for Wood in Mittagong. Claudia’s piece has been designed more than just a bench. Its functionality is much wider: in addition to being a comfortable two-seater bench, the two removable backrests (stored under the bench seat) convert the bench into a chair, or two chairs, or a chaise lounge.
The bench is also wider than usual: ideal to lie back on. Its rounded corners and edges, with matching cylindrical legs, enhance its look of comfort. It is intended to be ideal in an apartment, where space is typically limited, and a multi-functional piece of furniture is particularly useful.
Congratulations to both Beth and Claudia on these extraordinary achievements.
