RPFA
Message from the RPFA Committee
Thank you to everyone who expressed an interest in being an active part of the RPFA 2021 team via the recent Trybooking survey. We have noted your responses and someone on the Committee will get in touch with you in the next few weeks.
Second Hand Book Sale
On Monday 30 November (Week 8), Secondary School students will be able to bring in their used textbooks for sale or donation and buy current edition textbooks for 2021. Current edition textbooks will be sold to others within the Redlands community. Previous editions no longer used at Redlands will be donated to other communities who will welcome and use them. Transactions will be non-cash, with the net balance recorded on your school accounts next year.
Through this Sale, the RPFA aims to reduce paper wastage for environmental benefit, keep the costs of textbooks down for families and donate disused texts to charitable organisations who distribute them to communities that will continue to benefit from them.
Order/sale forms will become available once 2021 book lists are finalised, so watch this space!
Walks on Tracks
We will be doing a loop from Beauty Point to Chinaman’s Beach and back next week on Wednesday 25 November from 8.40am, followed by a potluck lunch. Meet at 51 Bay Street, Mosman. Please bring a little something for lunch afterwards. For more information, please contact Ann Marie Kimber on 0406691533 or amkimber@gmail.com.
Book Club
The next Redlands Book Club will be held Friday 4 December, to discuss Kate Grenville’s A Room Made of Leaves – a fictional account of our early colonial days featuring Elizabeth Macarthur. Please contact Lerida Grant for more details on lerida@bigpond.net.au.
Save the Date
We hope to continue our annual tradition of Twilight Cocktails to welcome the start of the new school year, to welcome new families and welcome back current ones. Please save 19 February 2021 in your diaries.
