Year 10

Speech Night

Next Wednesday 4 December, we will join together to recognise students’ achievements at the Redlands Secondary School Speech Night at the Big Top, Luna Park. This is a compulsory school event. Please can I ask for your support and request that you reiterate our expectations for behaviour at this important formal event. Students will be reminded next week at our Form Assembly of the importance of this occasion and the School’s expectations for dress on the evening. Students are advised to be attentive, to refrain from chatting and of course, not to use mobile telephones during the event. Thank you for your support to ensure that students behave appropriately so that we can properly celebrate the achievements of our exceptional Yr 10 cohort.

Student Farewells

It is with heavy hearts that we farewell Abbie Dillon, Annalise Joyce, Jamie Lapping and Yoojay Weir. We wish these students well, as they continue their education in new settings. We hope that they will look back fondly on their time at Redlands and that they will keep in touch.

ABW

Much excitement has occurred this week as students have worked collaboratively on their simulated businesses. Students have been engaged and I must say, have been enthusiastically competitive as they strategised with the aim of making profit. A special thanks must go to our parent volunteers who have given of their time and expertise. Without their commitment to this week, we could not have offered student such a rich and valuable experience.

Science Symposium

Congratulations to the overall winner of the Science Symposium, Theo Mirrlees-Black, for his investigation You’re Not Safe Under the Sea. Best communication and presentation went to Ela Yohannan for her investigation A Private “Dye” Investigation and most innovative or original investigation was awarded to Tylor Wessels for his work How Salty is the Sea?.

Young Person’s Plan for the Planet Conference

From the 3-8 December, Max Currie and Olivia Reid, together with three students from other Year Groups, will be heading to Singapore for the Young Person’s Plan for the Planet Conference. Max and Olivia are to be commended for their commitment during the past six months, as together with a team of 15 Redlands students, they have been working towards designing a plan for NSW orientated around the Sustainable Development Goals issued by the UN in 2015. Our students have been the recipients of a government grant and are delighted to have the opportunity to showcase their work on a global stage. They are wished every success for the conference and it is hoped that they will forge connections and create innovative plans with students from numerous nations across the globe.

Holidays

As the year draws to a close, I would like to wish our Yr 10 students and families a very happy and relaxing Summer holiday. Our Yr 10 students have had a marvelous year of many and varied achievements. It has been a pleasure to read students’ academic reports and gauge their progress across many disciplines. It is hard to believe that very soon, in the new year, we will be welcoming students back as the new Redlands Yr 11 cohort. I hope you all find time for well-deserved rest, rejuvenation and fun with family and friends.
