Year 10

ABW

Next week Yr 10 students will be participating in Australian Business Week (ABW). 

The program is an in-school intensive learning experience that provides students with an insight into the world of business. It is unique in that it consolidates students’ learning and bridges the gap between secondary school and the business community. This is a program that has been running successfully at Redlands for over 15 years and forms an important part of our Term 4 experience for Yr 10 students.  

Students will be required to wear full school uniform for the duration of the week.

Student Achievements

George Murphy was recognised at the Ski and Snowboard Australia Community Sports Awards on 7 November in Canberra, where he was awarded Emerging Talented Athlete of the Year. We congratulate George for this significant commendation.

Jameson Prescott has been selected to compete in the Musto International Youth Match Racing Championship and Harken Racing Regatta through his participation at the RSYS. We wish Jameson every success as he competes over the next two weeks.

Yr 7 Orientation

On Tuesday the Secondary School welcomed the new Yr 7 cohort for 2020. Our Yr 10 students rose to the occasion and were outstanding ambassadors and mentors for our new Yr 7 students. It was wonderful to see our 2020 Peer Support Leaders engaged with the new students and we were incredibly proud of their efforts.

Cambodia Trip 2020

Next year, in the 2020 December school holidays, students from Yr 11 have the opportunity to travel to Cambodia and immerse themselves in Cambodian life. Redlands has had a connection with Cambodia for over 20 years and this will be the fourth year we have partnered with Antipodeans to provide this opportunity for Yr 11 students.

Students engage in a range of cultural immersion and service activities. This includes:

  • Working on a community project in a remote village located near Siem Reap. Last year’s group helped build and renovate a patient room at the community hospital. 
  • A guided tour of the Killing Fields and Touel Sleng S21 Genocide Museum. 
  • A visit to M’Lop Tapang. This organisation was founded by Redlands Alumni back in 2003 as an initiative to offer safety to vulnerable children. The organisation now works with over 5000 children and families to provide services, meals, shelter, medical care and education. Throughout the day students are introduced to some of M’Lop Tapang’s services and participate in a Child Safe presentation. 
  • A day tour of Angkor Archaeological Park, which includes the famous Angkor Watt Temple. 

This program gives students a wide range of experiences, while developing their understanding of Cambodian culture and history. It is designed to both educate and challenge students, helping them to embrace the concept of being a global citizen.

Please note, this program involves fundraising to support the community project and M’Lop Tapang organisation. Students are also required to complete six after-school learning sessions to help prepare and maximise their experiences in Cambodia.

All parents and students are invited to find out more at the Information Evening this coming Monday 25 November at 6.15pm in Redlands Hall. If you will be attending please RSVP at here.
