Inaugural Giving Day – Wednesday 21 August – Less than a Week to Go

With our inaugural Giving Day just around the corner, I would like to remind everyone how significant impact this event will have on the development of our High Country Campus which was developed thanks to the very generous support of our Redlands community more than 30 years ago.

Here’s the exciting news: thanks to our amazing matching gift donors, every donation made on the day will be TRIPLED! We’ll be sharing updates throughout the day to spread the word. A heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who are kindly giving their time to make this day a success.

To get inspired, please take a moment to watch a message from Jennie Cadman, a current parent and Redlander:

You can join us today and make your donation ahead of time

Leaving a Legacy Together

Redlands has a long history and tradition of philanthropy.

The generous contributions from parents, alumni and staff have been crucial to the growth and success of our School. As you may know, Redlands receives one of the lowest Government grants of any school in NSW, and school fees alone aren’t enough to fund the major developments that shape our campus.

Past appeals have supported many important projects, including:

  • Peter Cornish Building, 2002 (Junior Campus)
  • Roseby Science Building/Liggins Atrium, 2007 (Senior Campus)
  • John Roberts Centre, 2018 (Senior Campus)
  • Redlands Learning Hub, 2020 (Senior Campus)
  • Fahl Garden, 2021 (Senior Campus)

We also take great pride in providing opportunities for those in need. Through the Redlands Foundation Scholarships, we’re able to welcome talented students who might not otherwise have the opportunity of a Redlands education. Thanks to your generosity, we currently offer 6 Redlands Foundation Means-Tested Scholarships.

Every Contribution Matters

Philanthropy is a personal journey, and your consideration of a gift means so much to us. No matter how large or small your gift is, your contribution will help create a Lifetime of Possibilities for our students and future generations to come.

Pauline Lam, Redlander 1987 – visited from New York 

It was lovely to catch up with Pauline Lam, Redlander 1987, during her visit from New York.

Pauline has been a great Redlander Ambassador for those in the US, particularly in New York and on the East Coast, where she has coordinated informal alumni gatherings and is a regular at our US Chapter Virtual Meetings.

Pauline loved seeing all the recent development at Redlands and shared with us some of her global experiences in the finance industry, including positions in Sydney, Hong Kong and New York.

Currently, Pauline is developing Climate Risk Models for Citi and has recently completed her PhD. She has been a visiting academic at NYU Stern since 2019. She is also preparing to travel globally presenting her published research at conventions in Venice Italy and Florida US.

Thank you, Pauline, for sharing your precious time with us during your visit to Sydney and we wish you all the very best when you return to the Big Apple.
