Year 11
Student Achievement
Well done to Lucy Horton who has been selected to participate in the NSW Constitutional Convention at NSW Parliament House. Lucy had to write a one-page statement on the following: The appointment, removal and accountability of Ministers is based as much on convention as law. How can we ensure that Ministers are truly accountable to Parliament and the people, and should we move away from convention to strict legal requirements? Lucy’s one page statement really impressed the judging panel; hence her selection for the convention.

Privileges
A big thank you to all the parents for getting the forms in for Yr 12 Lunchtime privileges. Lunchtime Privileges began on Monday this week and it was fantastic to see the smiles on every student’s face as they ate their lunch at the local eateries such as McDonald’s, Chargrill Charlies, Kabocha and Cafe 57.
Lismore Christmas Appeal
For most in our community, Christmas is a time for joy and celebration. But for many in Lismore, who lost homes and businesses in the recent flooding and are in the early stages of a costly disaster recovery, this holiday season will be one of hardship.
This term, we are calling on the generosity of our Redlands community to support the residents of Lismore. We are asking each student to donate a small Christmas gift to the Northern Rivers Children’s Services. We hope these donated gifts will bring joy to a number of families this Christmas season.
To support this cause, please bring a new children’s gift to your Tutor class in Weeks 6 and 7.
