Prep and Junior School students have been asked to participate in a Design a Card competition to raise funds for the scholarship as well. Please encourage your child(ren) to participate – a good school holiday activity! Artwork must be received by Wednesday 21 April.

Second Hand Uniform Sale
Our second hand uniform sales have become increasingly popular, so we are going to do more of them! They provide great value for families and also give each of us an opportunity to contribute to the clear benefits of recycling. We sell 100’s of perfectly good clothes that may otherwise end up being wasted and thrown out, eventually into landfill. The second hand uniform sales is a great way to make the most of what the world has already produced, help your wallet and do an extra little bit for sustainability as well.
The RPFA will now offer an online uniform sale every term under the following structure:
- Week 2 and 3: Accept donations; please donate clean current uniform in excellent condition. Deliver them on a coat hangar (or hang them on the ones available) to the Uniform Shop during this two week period every term. Please note NO polo shirts, due to the new uniform designs being implemented.
- Week 5: Email sent on Monday to everyone to announce the online sale is open for business for five days and will close at 4.00pm Friday.
- Week 6: Collect sales from Uniform Shop during their office hours.
- As always, funds raised are contributed towards the means-tested Redlands Foundation Scholarship Fund.
For Term 2, the dates are:
- Donations to Uniform Shop: Wednesday 28 April through Friday 7 May.
- Email to announce the sale is open: Monday 17 May.
- Collect sales from the Uniform Shop: Monday 24 May 9.00am to Friday 28 May 4.00pm (Uniform Shop hours apply).
Uniform Transition
We are currently looking into options to recycle the current sports uniforms. More information will be available after the school holidays.
Walks on Tracks
Please note that walks will continue through the holiday between terms.
The walk on 7 April will be around Narrabeen Lake – meet outside ProKayaks on the lake at 11 Narrabeen St, Narrabeen; and on 14 April will be from the Spit to Manly – meet at the Orso carpark at the bottom of Spit Hill, Mosman.
