Redlands Sports Podcast 

Last year during COVID we were lucky enough to start the Redlands Sports Podcast interviewing a range of people from within the Redlands School Community as well as some professional athletes. The podcast delves into what lessons and experiences those individuals have gained out of sport. We dove into the past, present and future of sport from a range of perspectives. Last week Mr Ellis, along with Olivia Donoghue (2021 Female Sports Captain) and Rachel Kinghorn (Senior Member of the 1st VII Netball Team) were lucky enough to sit down with current Australian Diamonds Squad Member & NSW Swifts Captain Maddy Proud. Students are encouraged to jump on the the Secondary School Sport iLearn page, if anyone else would like to listen please head to Redlands Pulse – Secondary School Sport and check it out!  

Zoom Fitness and General Fitness Challenges

Zoom Fitness sessions are great way to start your day and are on every morning. Students are encouraged to attend as many sessions as they wish, and we encourage all members of the same household to join in the sessions.

There are a number of fun general and generic challenges that are now available on iLearn (student access only), and we encourage all parents, carers, teachers, students, supporters to give the challenges a go! This week the following challenges are in place:

  • Plank – how long can you plank for?
  • Frog Balance – how long can you balance for?

Film your attempts and send them in! 

ONLINE FITNESS TIMETABLE

A reminder for the Zoom sessions, that students need to be:

  • Online and ready to go prior to the Zoom starting (please be online ready to go at 6:55am/3.25pm)
  • If students are more than 10 minutes late they will not be admitted into the Zoom Session
  • Zooms set to mute with cameras on (students who remain with their cameras off will not have the session counted towards their commitment)
  • Have a water bottle 
  • Have a gym towel 
  • Please wear appropriate fitness attire (in line with mufti day attire ie: no singlets, appropriate length shorts)

“A major reason why the top 5% succeed be it in sports, business or any other field is this: They are willing to do more than what’s been asked of them”
