Year 10
International Day
On Tuesday, Yr 10 student volunteers from each Tutor Group joined forces with Yr 8 to celebrate Australia’s Indigenous culture as part of International Day.
Our Yr 10 student volunteers were able to implement their knowledge from last year’s culturally engaging Midawarr Camp to assist Yr 8 with comparing and contrasting Australian indigenous cultures, with each Yr 8 House Tutor Groups allocated a country or culture (Chinese, French, Japanese or Spanish).
Thank you to the following Yr 10 students who volunteered to work with Yr 8 students to put together Wednesday’s International Day activities:
- Lilly Attard
- Phoebe Barnett
- Briar Carter
- Daniel Close
- Mark Danse
- Livia Feller

- Jamison Houchell
- Ophelia Jackson
- Claudia Lalich
- Jessica Marshall
- Zoe Naismith

Photo Competition
Well done to Nicholas Jackson for his submission in the International Day Photo Competition which was a photo of an Auburn Mosque that to him illustrated multiculturalism, inclusivity and diversity in Sydney.
IGNITE – Week 9 Activity: Deflating Stress
In Week 9, the IGNITE team designed a stress-relief activity to help Yr 10 students visualise the common burdens that cause stress, anxiety and doubt for young people. Yr 10 were able to laugh, relate and find a connection with others while letting go of a balloon which was symbolic of deflating the stress we experience and manage from time to time.

Happy Easter
On behalf of the Yr 10 Tutors and Ms Martin, I would like to wish all of Yr 10 and their families a Happy Easter. Term 1 has been a busy yet productive term with the inauguration of IGNITE which has encouraged leadership, service, and compassion within the Year Group which is exemplary of our Redlands values. I am hoping our Yr 10 students take the holidays to refresh, relax, rewind and reactivate for Term 2.
