Redlands Parents and Friends

This week, as we celebrate 139 years of Redlands, I’d like to thank all the parents and carers who have actively been engaged in supporting the school community, from the day to day activities of class parents, year parents and the various section coordinators, to the weekly seasonal efforts of our friends of sport, dance and music, to the volunteers for ad hoc events such as secondhand uniform and book sales as well as exam assistance, to those parents who helped with big events like Twilight Drinks and Autumn Fair (which also has a long standing history since 1894). A thousand thanks! 

Secondhand Uniforms

Thank you to everyone who has continued to support our secondhand uniforms sales. We are looking to hold another sale in the afternoon of Sat 17 Jun.

If you have clean, current uniforms to donate to this cause, please drop them off to the Uniform Shop! We’d love to get more blazers in larger sizes, long sleeved white shirts, fleeces and tracksuits. Please note we are not collecting any items for recycling (eg old sports uniforms) at this time. Please also do not bring in: used socks; dirty, stained or torn items; items purchased from external parties (Marks & Spencer’s, Next) as we cannot sell these items and are running out of storage space.

Gala Ball

Purchase tickets to this fantastic black tie event to be held at the Fullerton Hotel (formerly the Westin) on Sat 12 Aug. You don’t need to organise a table to attend! Just nominate a year group(s) you’d like to sit with and Foundation will work their magic.

Walks on Tracks

Weekly guided walks around the northern Sydney area are organised by an RPFA volunteer. This is a great way to meet other Redlands parents and get in shape, plus a wonderful way to spend a morning discovering the many paths of the Sydney area.

The invitation for walks is open, so if you have friends or family who you think would like to come along, please feel free to bring them. Dogs are also welcome on most walks.

Next week’s walk on Wed 14 Jun will be from Mosman to Cremorne Point. Meet at the Bradleys Head Rd / Middle Head Rd roundabout in Mosman at 8.40am.

Any questions, please contact Ann Marie Kimber or call 0406 691 533.

Book Club 

The Redlands Book Club is a group of Redlands parents – past and present – who share a love of reading. New members are always welcome! The Book Club meets twice each school term to discuss a book, rotating among members’ homes. Occasionally, outings are also organised to events, movies or shows that are tied in with books, including annual attendance at the Sydney Writer’s festival in May. If you would like to join Book Club, or simply want to know more, please contactMonicaor Sabiha.

Our next meeting is Mon 19 Jun for morning tea. We will be discussing The Familiars by Stacey Hall. Books planned for Term 3 are: The Seven Sisters by Lucinda Riley and BABEL by R.F. Kuang.
