Parents’ Rowing
On the weekend Redlands parents, friends and staff travelled to the Sydney International Regatta Centre to compete in the annual Great Autumn Regatta. We entered a total of seven rowing boats and came away with not only great memories but some hardware. Redlands crews won Silver in the A final and Silver and Bronze in the B final. Thank you to all the coaches, coxes and supporters who came out to cheer on the rowers and thank you to all the participants – your contribution to the Rowing program is very much appreciated.

Redlands Spring Fair
Parents, teachers, children, family and friends all happily participated in a jam making session on Sunday led by a qualified jam maker! It was lots of fun with a great result creating around 300 jars of jams to be sold at the Spring Fair. Thank you everyone for donating your time and for being so industrious!
We must also extend a big thank you to Mrs Audrey Fellowes, Head of Early Childhood and Belinda Oxley, Dean of Early Childhood for their assistance and enthusiasm, as well as Colleen Godsell for her ongoing support and providing access to The Barn for this event.
