2023 Term 1 Summer Sport Nomination Review
A huge thank you to families both new and returning for your quick response in completing your child’s Term 1 2023 Summer Sport. By completing this process so quickly, you now have the opportunity to view, accept or amend your child’s summer sport selection for their 2023 Summer Term 1 Sport. An Engage notice was sent out this week asking the following;
(1) Parents/carers are asked to find their child’s name on the spreadsheet.
(2) If they are listed in the sport they selected and are happy no action is required.
(3) If your child wants to change sport you need to emailjuniorsport@redlands.nsw.edu.au ASAP with the sport they are withdrawing from and the sport they want to enter into (if there are vacancies). Please note Surfing and Stand-Up Paddle Boarding are full so please do not request this sport.
(4) If you cannot find your child’s name then we have not received registration from you and would have received a reminder email recently to register.
(5) Friday 28 October-no more changes permitted. Summer Sport lists are now final for Term 1 2023

IPSHA Gymnastics Team
Congratulations to our IPSHA Gymnastics team that competed at the 2022 IPSHA Gymnastics Carnival today. Our Boys and Girls teams have been training very hard over the last two terms and a full report will be available next week.
CIS Athletics
Congratulations to Jake and Georgia on their recent performance at the NSW PSSA Athletics Championships representing CIS. Both students had a great experience, performed superbly despite not making it to the NSW team but have certainly the groundwork for future events.
Redlands Pulse
The Junior School Sport pages on Redlands Pulse will continue to be the ‘source of truth’ for all information relating to sport this term. As you would be aware we have switched over to our new look Pulse later last term which allows more functionality and more positive user interaction. I am asking that if parents have an enquiry relating to Sport that your first port of call will be the Junior School Sport section of Redlands Pulse.
Sport Calendar
We have a Sport Calendar for each Term. To view the 2022 Term 4 Sports Calendar please click here
This calendar is regularly updated and provides all the key dates for you for school sport, carnivals and major events.
Wet Weather- Wednesday Sport
In the case of wet weather on a Wednesday, updates will be posted on our Wet Weather Pulse page. If you pick your child up directly at the venue, please refer to this page prior to going to ensure that they are at the venue as alternative plans may have been made depending on the location, weather and provider. Late changes to venues, times and staffing are shown in red font.
Contacting Junior Sports Department
All relevant documents and information for Sport are available to you on the Junior Sport Pulse Page.
Right place, Right time, Right equipment It is our aim for all Redlands Junior School Students to follow these three guidelines when they are playing sport, be it Representative Sport or Non-Representative Sport. Therefore we have put in place digital documents that will assist you in achieving these three things.
Representative Sport Expression of Interest
In looking at our current Representative Sport offering for Term 1 2023 we want to determine if there is interest for Cricket to be offered as an additional Saturday Sport.
Thanks to those families who have completed the EOI form. At this stage we only have 9 interested families across the whole Junior School. Please be aware that if we get enough players per grade to form a team in that grade there is no opportunity to change sports once Term 1 commences, that is if your child changes their mind when the season commences, they cannot go to another Sport. This will ensure the team does not ‘fold’ if students decide they don’t want to play anymore.
As an overall picture of what Cricket would look like at Redlands participating in our IPSHA competition, please refer to the points below:
It is a Rep Sport, meaning that it is played on Saturday morning like other Rep Sports. Games are 3 hours in duration.
IPSHA Cricket is played in school grades, not age groups.
IPSHA Format is different from club and representative cricket, softer ball, reduced overs, plastic stumps, reduced pitch length, modified rules, 90min games on average.
The formats and modifications of what school cricket is are not the ‘Traditional Cricket Game’ that most clubs play. Balls used are softer balls, not leather balls, plastic stumps are used for most of the matches with modified rules relating to bowling and batting.
Matches will be at away venues played each Saturday morning commencing no earlier than 7.30am and finishing before 12:00pm.
Venues can range from Barker @ Hornsby, Tudorhouse @ Bowral in the Southern Highlands to Scots College @ Eastern Suburbs. There would be no home games at Redlands in Term 1 if we proceed.
For us to submit a team in each grade, we need to submit a minimum of 8-10 players.
Based on this information and knowing that the IPSHA competition is not ‘Traditional Cricket’ as such you are welcome to complete this form so further discussion and investigation can take place at our end.
This by no means acceptance of a place in Cricket nor it is a loss of your place in your recent nomination for your 2023 Summer Sport.
