Year 10

Science and Engineering Challenge

This week, Mr Wrighter and Mrs Aroney accompanied Yr 10 Science students for a day of experiential learning at the Science and Engineering Challenge. Students worked in teams to compete against other schools to problem solve and develop practical solutions to Science challenges. Redlands placed 5th overall on the day.

Vaccinations

On 19 June, we will be visited by the Northern Sydney Public Health Unit to administer vaccinations for Meningococcal ACWY to all Yr 10 students. The vaccines are offered free of charge and will be given by specialist nurses. Each year, NSW Health works in partnership with schools to offer the vaccines recommended by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) for adolescents as part of the School Vaccination program. A parent information kit will be distributed to students in the coming weeks.

Yr 10 Examinations

Full details of the arrangements for the upcoming Yr 10 examinations are on Redlands Pulse. A letter addressing all arrangements with the timetable has been emailed to all parents and carers. Yr 10 students will only be required to attend school for their actual examinations. Students are allowed to leave school at the conclusion of their final examination for the day. Could you please ensure that you are familiar with the arrangements and have discussed these with your child prior to the commencement of the examination period.

Careers Industry Day

Yr 10 students will be attending an Industry Day on Friday 25 May. Please see Redlands Pulse for an introductory letter outlining the event which was also sent to all parents by email last week. Once students are allocated to specific companies, a second letter will be sent to families with full details on the venue, dress requirements etc. for the day.
