Music
SENIOR MUSIC FESTIVAL on Friday evening was a roaring success and we are grateful to all those in our community who joined us for the fun! The show was made possible by 200 beaming performers, our graduating class as hosts with the most, and 30 staff and Friends of Music who jumped on board the creative vision to make it the memorable night it was!

On a personal note, I was beyond humbled by the return of former students to sing alongside current ones, and to learn that there had been secret rehearsals to surprise me with the most moving encore to close the Festival! Tears again today as 300 Junior Campus students sang me a heartfelt benediction! My heart. Undoubtedly some of the most moving experiences of my life, and I am so thankful for all the beautiful memories made with this community over the past 7 years!
The Redlands Music Department will continue from strength to strength, and it has been my profound joy to be woven into its fabric alongside you all.
Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hands.

Junior Campus Choral Celebration
Today over 300 students from the Prep and Junior Schools performed beautifully in the annual Choral Celebration. It was a celebration indeed, with performances from curriculum cohorts, cocurricular ensembles, and even two whole school songs. The Choral program at Redlands is thriving and we thank Mrs Roberts (Head of Choral P-12) for her leadership in this space. It was also a wonderful celebration through song to thank our Director of Music Mrs Richardson for her leadership and love of singing.
Prep Choir and Junior Choir are still taking enrolments and applications can be made via the Cocurricular Enrolment Form on Pulse.
