Redlands House/Transition Gold
Redlands House Assessment and Rating
As many of you will know, Redlands House was assessed earlier this term by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA), an independent statutory authority that assists governments in implementing the National Quality Framework for early childhood education and care throughout Australia.
This detailed and rigorous assessment process is part of the accreditation process of every Early Childhood facility and I am both proud and thrilled to share the news that once again, Redlands House has been rated as ‘Exceeding the National Quality Standard’ in all seven areas of assessment. This is the highest possible rating that can be achieved and I acknowledge the work of our exceptional Redlands House team, most ably led by Mrs Huon and Mrs Fellowes before her move to Queensland.
Parent Webinars
It was just wonderful to connect with over 500 Junior Campus families as we hosted four separate webinars this week for parents in the Preschool, Prep School, Yrs 3 and 4 and Yrs 5 and 6. Alongside our Principal Mr Webber, Deputy Principal Ms McGarry, Dean of Teaching and Learning Mrs Smith, Dean of Students Mrs Kourakis and Redlands House Coordinator Mrs Huon, it was wonderful to be able to share information with Redlands families through this medium and have real-time connection with our families. As I mentioned, as well as missing the students, I have missed daily interactions with families at times such as morning drop-off, pick-up or on the sidelines of sports matches so it was great to see so many friendly faces on screen.
We will seek to place the recorded video links to the sessions on Redlands Pulse during the upcoming holidays.
Thank you from Mrs Huon
A big thank you to all of our wonderful families at Redlands House for a fabulous first term for 2020! The staff highly value and greatly appreciate your ongoing support and contributions to our Preschool program and we are grateful for online learning and the strong connections we have at this time. I encourage you to continue to provide us with your feedback regarding day-to-day Preschool life, events or activities. It is this feedback that contributes to our Quality Improvement Plan and helps us to navigate through change when necessary.
My email contact is chuon@redlands.nsw.edu.au or please feel free to call for a chat at any time. Wishing you all a restful holiday break and I look forward to seeing you all next term.
