Family Trivia Night
Join us and other Redlands families for our first ever socially distant community event – a Kahoot Trivia afternoon. Suitable for all ages. Dress in your House colors as special House points will be awarded and there will be lots of prizes!
Redlands Students Need Your Help
We need new members to add to our friendly team of volunteers who assist Redlands students in Yrs 7-12 with exams and assessments throughout the year. We welcome Prep, Junior and Secondary School parents, grandparents, friends and Redlanders.
Our volunteers respect confidentiality, are reliable and punctual, patient and relaxed. Legible handwriting is a bonus. If this describes you, come and join our team! You can choose the exams and assessments for the subjects and years in which you are interested to suit your schedule.
No subject specific knowledge is required; you are simply there to read and/or write what the student dictates, and to regulate the time. Bad spelling? No problem – spelling is ignored when there’s a writer. Illegible handwriting? You could be a reader (no writing required) or supervise time for a student or a small group.
Our students are very appreciative of the support they are given. If you would be interested in finding out more about helping with exams, please contact Saralie Pincini at spincini@redlands.nsw.edu.au or on 9968 9854.
Summer Second Hand Uniform Sale
Due to high demand for second hand uniforms, the RPFA is going to trial an online sale of summer uniforms. Next Monday details will be emailed on how to order and pay online. Collection will be in the last week of Term 3. At this stage we don’t have the capacity to accept any more donations of pre loved uniforms, but will update parents in Term 4.
Funds raised from the second hand uniform sale are contributed towards the means-tested Redlands Foundation Scholarship Fund. Everyone’s support is greatly appreciated!
