International Women’s Day
This week, Redlands celebrates International Women’s Day, feminism and equality for all. On Tuesday, a combination of staff, Yr 11 and Yr 12 students shared their insights and experiences through a Student-led Assembly. Students were also given the opportunity to attend a Redlands Sport Q&A in Redlands Hall during lunch on Wednesday with a number of past and present female athletes, including: Director of Coaching (Basketball) Renae Garlepp, Redlands Coach Jemma Donoghue, NSW Waratahs Rugby player Tatum Bird, Australia Commonwealth Games 2006 representative and current Towerrunning World Championships competitor Suzy Walsham and NRLW Newcastle Knights Five-Eight Rugby League player Kirra Dibb.
This Friday, the Yr 11 students will be dedicating the cohort assembly to International Women’s Day. We will hear from a group of students and Yr 11 Tutors regarding female role models in their lives, their understanding of feminism and what we can do as a cohort to support equality for all.
Photos and a summary of messages shared at the year meeting tomorrow will be included in next week’s Note Day. Thank you to the students who jumped in to this opportunity and for continuing the discussion on embracing equality: Grace Durrant, Daisy Thomas, Max Stepniak, Hugo Scott, Marcus Cooper-Hor, Apoorv Pilani, Kane Thompson, Hallie Hunt, Scarlett Thorp, Ashley Stapleton and Celine Patel.
Artist of the Moment: Annie Zhang
This year, the Yr 12 Arts Captains have started a new initiative, Artist of the Moment. Annie was their first choice to be showcased as she has dedicated 4 hours per week outside of class time since the start of Yr 7. You can often find Annie in the Art rooms after school, during lunch and sometimes before school as she works on her own pieces while continuing to develop of her skills in painting and life drawing. Annie is creative, always willing to learn and humble. To view her work, it is currently displayed on Level 1 of the Redlands Learning Hub. Congratulations to Annie!
Balmoral Swim Schools Relay- Make a splash for a great cause!
The Balmoral Swim Schools Relay Challenge is back! On Sunday 2 April from 8am-9am, local schools will come together to raise funds for the Children’s Cancer Institute, increase awareness for this important cause, and most importantly, have fun participating in an open water swim relay.
Here’s how it works: each team consists of four swimmers, and each swimmer will swim a 200m leg of the relay. Participants can choose to swim in their year category or an older category, and the entry cost is just $20 per swimmer.
Don’t want to swim? No problem – you can still support the cause by donating to the Redlands fundraising page to help raise funds for the Children’s Cancer Institute.
This is a fantastic opportunity to come together, have some fun, and raise funds for a great cause. So, gather your teammates, come along to Balmoral Beach, and make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer.
We can’t wait to see everyone there! Register your team now and join in the fun!
