Redlands House/Transition Gold

Please note that all Upcoming Events for Redlands House/Transition Gold are on the Prep/RH Upcoming Events Note Day page.

Personal Hygiene

I wanted to take this opportunity to reiterate Mr Webber’s message of the importance of hygiene and protocols for students who are unwell. We have been reinforcing good hygiene habits with our students and ask that you also reinforce the following at home:

Wash hands frequently with soap and water, after coughing or sneezing, before and after eating, and after going to the toilet.
Cough or sneeze into your elbow.
Dispose of used tissues immediately and use alcohol-based hand sanitiser.
Avoid unnecessary physical contact with others through handshaking and other close contact.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

Unwell Students

It is important that you keep your child home from school if they are unwell. If they have a fever, runny nose, sore throat and/or cough they must stay home and follow medical advice. In the event that your child presents with flu-like symptoms at school, as with any other virus or infectious disease, parents will be contacted to make arrangements for them to return home as soon as possible.

Seniors and Transition Gold Parent Teacher Meetings

Redlands House Seniors and Transition Gold Parent Teacher meetings take place next week. If you missed out on making a booking to see your child’s teacher, please reach out to your teacher to secure a meeting time. This is a wonderful time to celebrate your child’s success and build the partnership between home and school.

Independence

At Redlands House we strongly encourage independence. We love seeing the children carry their own bags, pack away their belongings and look after their food containers. As children grow and develop, they become more skilled with taking care and expressing themselves and exploring their world independently. Independence contributes to the development of self-esteem, identity and wellbeing. Accomplishing tasks and experiencing failure, produces a powerful sense of learning and achievement which is vital for children in the early years.

Orange Class Juniors are proud to share a range of ideas that they can do on their own, including riding bikes, sitting on aeroplanes, putting clothes on and brushing their teeth.

April Vacation Care

Vacation Care bookings are now open via the Flexischools website. Please note, there will be no allowance for cancellations, refunds or change of days once bookings are made so please choose your days carefully. Please direct all questions or concerns to the OOSH Coordinator, Trinetta Newbond rather than Flexischools. Thank you and we look forward to another wonderful Vacation Care in April.
