Foundation
It was very special to celebrate the start of the new school year with members of our Redlands Community including current parents, some of whom also attended Redlands, and staff.
A huge shout out to our fantastic alumni jazz band Tamis Hunter, Zac Nesbit and Austin Stapleton, all Redlanders from the Class of 2022 and currently studying at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Their smooth and funky jazz enhanced what was already a wonderful atmosphere.

Welcome Back to Campus
Pauline Lyle-Smith, Redlander 1963
It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Pauline Lyle-Smith (Redlander 1963) back to campus while she is in Sydney visiting all the way from London. Pauline took time out of her busy schedule to meet with Principal Mr Sean Corcoran and Dr Jennifer Farrell (Redlander 1962, former President of the RPFA and the Redlanders Alumni Association). Pauline thoroughly enjoyed a student-led tour of recent developments, showcasing the innovative teaching and learning spaces in the Redlands Learning Hub. She was impressed to see collaborative learning in action and impressed with the access to technology that allows students to create, experiment and make their thinking visible. The exhibition of portraits by students in Year 7 2023 were particularly impressive, reflecting the calibre of the Visual Arts program here at Redlands.
Pauline was awarded the Prize for French Language in 1963 and enjoyed a tour of Liggins where Languages, including Latin, continue to be taught. She was one a small number of women who graduated with Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws degrees from the University of Sydney in 1968 and, after qualifying as a solicitor in NSW, practised law at Freehill, Hollingdale & Page (now Herbert, Smith Freehills). Whilst practising law she carried out evening pro bono legal work at the Wayside Chapel in King’s Cross, Sydney.
Pauline’s thirst for adventure took her to London which she made her home. Pauline is the former Mayoress of Hammersmith and Fulham and Deputy Chair of the Britain-Australian Society Education Trust which provides educational scholarships and bursaries.
Pauline continues to support Redlands UK and Europe Alumni Chapter with elegant venues for special events and is always willing to connect with Redlanders.
