Redlands Parents and Friends
And just like that, another year is almost over! Enjoy these last few days of school and have a wonderful holiday break. I look forward to seeing you in the new year, at various exciting events we have planned including Twilight in the Garden and Autumn Fair!
Secondary School Year Reps 2023
We’d like to put together another incredible team of parents and friends to continue to build a strong and positive Redlands community for 2023. If you are interested in being a year parent for Secondary School, please signal your interest by clicking here. (All current parent reps are welcome to return, of course!) For Junior School and Prep School, we will be in contact with you at the beginning of next year once we know which classes each student is in.
Second Hand Textbooks – 5 December
On Mon 5 Dec, Secondary School students are invited to donate their used textbooks to the second hand textbook sale. Students looking to purchase books need to submit their forms in the morning as well. This initiative reduces the cost of textbooks for families, reduces waste and landfill by re-using books, and generates funds for Lifeline. Students currently in Year 6 -12 are encouraged to take part, please refer to the detailed FAQ’s on Pulse for more info.
We will need parent volunteers (around 10) to help us run the sale, please sign up if you can help in the morning or afternoon of Mon 5 Dec.
