Meningococcal ACWY Vaccinations for Yr 11s

On the 19 June we will be visited by the Northern Sydney Public Health Unit to administer vaccinations for Meningococcal ACWY to all Yr 11 students. The vaccines are offered free of charge and will be given by specialist nurses. Each year NSW Health works in partnership with schools to offer the vaccines recommended by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) for adolescents as part of the school vaccination program. A parent information kit will be distributed to students in the coming weeks. Students are encouraged to have this vaccination as it prevents a debilitating disease. 

Paul Dillon Visit 

On Tuesday 29 May Redlands is pleased to welcome back Mr Paul Dillon to present to Yrs 10, 11 and 12. Paul has been working in the area of drug and alcohol education for the past 25 years and has great research and evidence to share. 

He will also be presenting to parents on the evening of Thursday 14 June on Adolescents and ‘Risk Taking’: Why do teens do the things they do and what can you do about it?’ Please note this is a different presentation to the one that he will give to students. We strongly recommend that you attend this event.  

Pastoral Care 

During Weeks 2-4 students will have three Pastoral Care sessions dedicated to IB CAS and HSC Service reflections. Students are to ensure they come prepared with the appropriate material for these sessions.
