Year 10

Holiday Break

Mr Walker and I would like to extend our best wishes to Yr 10 students and their families for a well-deserved end of semester break. It is without doubt, that students are ready for some much needed R&R after such a busy term. We hope the three week break will allow students time to re-energise and spend time with family and friends.

Athletics Carnival

The Redlands Athletics Carnival was held on Tuesday at Sydney Olympic Park. Yr 10 students are to be commended for their marvellous spirit and participation on the day. Despite the weather, our Year Group were enthusiastic supporters and competitors. A special congratulations must go to Nick Goerner, Amelie Archer, Emma Mahon, Jonah Koppers and James Barrelle for their achievements on the day.

Fundraising Thank you

A sincere thank you to our parents and families for your generous support of our Winter Sock Drive and Homeless Appeal. We appreciate your encouragement of our Yr 10 students to support and have empathy for the homeless. Taldumande and Orange Sky Laundry will be able to support youth in crisis and the homeless through your generous donations.
