School Clubs Return
School clubs are back for 2025 with students having the opportunity to sign up during last week’s Activities Fair. Most clubs have hit the ground running this week already holding their first sessions. Clubs are an excellent way to engage with the wider school community, upskill and provide a point of interest for a CV or job application.
For anyone not able to sign up to a club on the day, you can still drop into your choice of club next week and discuss joining with the supervising staff and students. You can find all the club times and locations published in the banners on iLearn and by visiting the Cocurricular page on Pulse.
Representing your Peers
Nominations are now open for the Student Representative Council. Students are able to put themselves forward to represent their Year Group and work together with a dedicate team of students to help shape the culture and student life at Redlands. Expressions of interest can be made here, and to find out more speak to Mr de Vries.
Entries will close by 8am Friday 21 February.
The Musical 2025
Cast, Crew and Staff have been preparing and rehearsing enthusiastically to bring Disney’s High School Musical to The Concourse, Chatswood on the 5-7 March. Tickets are available now so get in quick before they sell out!
School Portrait Photos
Yesterday, student portrait and sibling photos were taken. If anyone missed having their photo taken, please make a note of the date for make-up for the portrait photos – Thursday 6 March. Students will need to be in their full School uniform, clean shaven, with hair off the collar or tied back and no make-up.

The catch-up photos for Siblings have been moved to Friday 7 March in conjunction with the Summer Sports photos on that day.
