Well done to all students on their return to both Wednesday Sport and Saturday Sport. In wet and cold conditions our Winter sport program recommenced for our Football and Rugby teams and for our Girls AFL 5/6 teams and Junior Girls Year ¾ Touch Football teams they commenced their respective seasons.

Concussion Protocols

Concussion is suspected after a head injury involving a force to the head or brain where the child seems different than usual and is displaying specific signs and symptoms. In most cases concussion symptoms resolve over time, but careful management is required to assist this process, including: 

• Total rest at home for 24-48 hours until symptom-free 
• Monitoring severity of symptoms when active 
• Graduated Return to Sport Framework 

For all other information please refer to our Junior School Sport Concussion page which can be found here.

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.

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.
