Welcome to Term 3, we hope you and your family enjoyed the holidays. We had a large number of Junior School students involved in Snowsports over the break as well as participating in the Redlands Cup and was great to hear that our students were great ambassadors for the school on and off the snow. A full report by our Director of Snowsports can be viewed in her Noteday section.

We have a very busy term with the winter sport season for Rugby and Football wrapping up in 3 weeks, our Year 5&6 girls AFL season commencing this week before we transition to pre-season summer sport skills for Mixed Basketball, Touch Football, Girls Basketball and Tennis.

Last week all Junior School families would have received a detailed note outlining the Term ahead for both Representative Sport and Non-Representative Sport. The information and links within this note will assist you over the next 10 weeks so please make this your first reference for any questions you may have.

Term 3 Redlands Mini-Olympics

When our Rep Rugby and Football season finishes their season on Saturday 10^th August all students from these teams will be automatically rolled over and enrolled to compete in Redlands Mini Olympics for the remainder of the term. Students from both codes have been divided into 8 countries and will play each other each Wednesday in a variety of Athletic events. Teams are mixed grades and each team has been allocated a country that they are representing.  Teams were displayed at school and the students are very excited about the event. For your reference these can be viewed here: 2024 Redlands Olympics  

Athletics Training Program ‘Student Take Home Pack’

I have put together a training plan aimed at those students who would not normally train leading up to our school carnival which is scheduled for Wednesday 14 August. As you know any training for Athletics and Cross Country takes place well in advance of the carnival itself.

You are under no obligation to use this training plan, it is a suggested resource we have put together for those families who want to work on carnival preparation for the weeks leading up to our school carnival.

To download and or view this training it can be found under ‘Files’ on Pulse on the Athletics Page

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