Empowering Young People to Thrive
Our Moonbah Program, commencing in 2025, will provide all Year 9 students with the opportunity to spend a term in an immersive residential environment of self-discovery, collaborative learning, relationship building and community mindedness at our High Country Campus, located just outside of Jindabyne in the Snowy Mountains.
High Country Campus Development
Our High Country Campus, home to our Winter School since 1996, Year 7 and Year 11 Camps, requires further development to accommodate the entire Year 9 cohort during two terms.

Foundation Day Service
The Foundation Day Service was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate 140 Years of Redlands with special guests such as members of the Foundation Advisory Committee, RPFA, members of the Executive and the Redlanders Alumni Association.
We were delighted to welcome a fabulous mix of alumni for a panel discussion who provided tremendous insight and inspiration to our Year 12 and Year 6 students. The discussion was video recorded and there will be an opportunity for everyone to enjoy their messages.
The Redlanders who were a part of the Assembly included:
