Instilling responsibility, respect and teamwork in teenagers participating in school sport is essential for their holistic development and future success. Responsibility teaches teenagers accountability for their actions, fostering a sense of ownership and discipline. In the realm of school sports, this translates to punctuality (being on time), commitment to training (showing up even if you don’t feel up to it) and adherence to the rules, all of which are habits that are transferable to academic and professional settings.

Respect is a cornerstone of positive social interactions and it is crucial to instill this value in teenagers engaged in sport. respecting coaches, teammates, opponents and officials contributes to a positive sporting environment. It encourages fair play, discourages unsportsmanlike behaviour and promotes a culture of inclusivity, fostering a sense of community within the school and sports programs.

Teamwork is a fundamental skill that extends beyond the sports arena. By working collaboratively towards a common goal in sports, teenagers learn to value each team member’s contribution and appreciate diverse perspectives. This skill is directly applicable to future environments where collaboration and cooperation are essential for success. In addition, teamwork enhances communication, leadership and conflict resolution skills, preparing teenagers for the challenges they may face in various aspects of life.

Throughout the Redlands sport programs we are working hard on instilling responsibility, respect and teamwork for all those involved, this work goes on beyond the sporting fields & courts. These values form the foundation of personal growth, social development and future success, providing teenagers with a well-rounded skill set that will serve them well in their academic, professional and personal endeavours.

“The most important quality I look for in a player is accountability. You’ve got to be accountable for who you are. It’s too easy to blame things on someone else.” Lenny Wilkens (Former NBA Coach)

Fitness Centre

Upon the commencement of the Term 4, we are excited to offer students access to an injury triage clinic at school on Monday mornings 7:00-8:00am with structured support for students undergoing injury rehabilitation.

This is for students who log an incident report over the weekend and are advised to follow up, have ongoing issues or concerns, or are absent at school or sport due to injury. Appointments are delivered by our physiotherapy provider Tensegrity and are designed to better support our students in triaging potential injuries and planning a suitable course of action.

Where appointments or attendance to injury clinic isn’t possible, we advise booking an appointment with relevant medical professionals. If students seek external physiotherapy/medical support, they are asked to fill out the following form and provide subsequent details to the school:
