AFL Paul Kelly Cup

Well done to our Year 5 and 6 students who represented Redlands in the PKC on Wednesday. We had enough players for both a girls and a boys teams this year and despite the majority of these students not playing the game before they had a great experience. In beautiful conditions at Tunks Park both the girls and boys teams got off to a great start in their respective pool matches with wins over Lane Cove Public School and St Ignatius College Riverview.

The girls came first in their pool and headed into the semi finals with a win over Mimosa Public School before racing over to their final against a team who also had 4 from 4 wins in their pool. Playing a very physical side the Redlands team ran out of steam but are to be commended for their efforts all day. Similarly the boys ended up losing to a strong Lindfield East side in similar circumstances. Thanks to our coaching staff who worked with the teams for the last few weeks and to the parents and carers for their support on the day.

Redlands Pulse Orientation and Navigation Video

Our intranet, Redlands Pulse, is the first port of call for all Junior School Sport related enquiries. A video has been produced to show you how to navigate through Pulse. You can view this short video here.

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. 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 Information Booklet

For all Sport information regarding what sports we offer when, how to navigate our documents, as well as information on Uniforms and Carnivals please refer to our Parent Information Booklet on Pulse.

Wednesday Sport Inability to Train

If your child has an injury that prevents them from training, please send through an email to Junior Sport juniorsport@redlands.nsw.edu.au requesting they ‘sit out’ of training for that particular session. We can then forward this to the relevant external coaching staff. Where applicable please include when they can return to normal training, so coaches are aware of this. That way coaching staff are aware of an injury that prevents them from participating at the venue but also allows us to be aware of periods where they are medically required to ‘sit out’.

Representative Sport Student Absence

If students are absent on match day, parents are required to complete this online absence form. This will allow your responses to be passed on electronically to your child’s coach efficiently and at short notice. The Student Absence link can also be found on the Junior School Sport Page on Redlands Pulse.

Please don’t hesitate to view our Sport Information page on Redlands Pulse if you have any questions pertaining to Sport.
