Our Redlands vision aspires to develop life-readiness in our students, and celebrating National Careers Week this week in the Secondary School saw two esteemed guests, Dr Tim Flannery and our Redlands Konica Minolta Artist in Residence, Cameron Robbins, present to students regarding future career paths. Dr Tim Flannery spoke with both students and parents about the projected change from a carbon-emitting to a carbon-absorbing economy over the next 30 years and the career opportunities in this future clean green economy. Cameron Robbins presented to the whole Secondary School at assembly on Monday morning and then held a lunchtime talk with students, sharing insights and learnings from his own career in Visual Arts. Today at lunchtime, we were also delighted to welcome 18 Redlanders to provide valuable careers advice to students in a variety of diverse areas including business, finance, law, IT, HR, change management, marketing and psychology.

Throughout the week, Visual Arts students in both Junior and Secondary Schools, had the wonderful opportunity to learn from our Redlands Konica Minolta Artist in Residence, Cameron Robbins, as he created his artwork in one of our workshops and installed it, with the help of our Facilities team, outside the John Roberts Centre, where it now takes pride of place. You can read more about the creation of his artwork here . We sincerely thank Cameron for working with our students in this exciting endeavour.
