Foundation
I hope all our families have settled back into a school routine. We are very excited to welcome students back on campus next week. Secondary School students will be amazed to see how the transformation of the Senior Campus has advanced.
Thank You
I would like to thank all our families, Alumni and staff who have supported us this financial year by making a tax deductible donation to any of the three tax deductible Funds (Building, Scholarship and Library).
We are fortunate at Redlands to have a community with a strong tradition of generously giving back to the School with financial donations or volunteering at various fundraising events and community building activities. It is through the contributions of previous families that current students are able to enjoy today’s facilities and resources such as the Peter Cornish Building (Junior Campus), Dunnet Hall (Junior Campus) and the Roseby Science Building/ Liggins Atrium (Senior Campus).
The Redlands community is strong and connected. People passionately care about our School and this is abundantly clear in the current scenario we face together.
Our journey continues to further support the means-tested Peter Lennox Scholarship. If you wish to join us and other members of the Redlands community with enabling a student to experience a Redlands education, please click here.

Students will be able to register for these sessions next week.

I would like to thank Caroline Jane, Alumni Manager, for all her efforts to secure such a great range of Alumni Mentors to participate.
Alumni Spotlight
Jeff Brown, Redlands School Captain 2016, was awarded a UBS Cadetship after graduating from Redlands. Jeff was recently featured in a Professional Cadetships Australia article detailing his progress as a 4th year cadet.
Platinum Girls Celebration
In lieu of holding the annual Platinum Girls Luncheon this week, a tribute honouring these students who attended Redlands more than 50 years ago was placed on the Redlands Alumni Facebook page. We look forward to welcoming our Old Girls to Redlands later in the year.
Happy Mother’s Day
