Swimming Carnival

The Swimming Carnival always remains a strong component of the Redlands culture with all involved enjoying a successful and fun day. Our boys and girls who took advantage of this, being their last Swimming Carnival, were fantastic at creating a fun atmosphere and leading by example. They dug deep and performed to the best of their ability achieving many stellar results. Congratulations to all participants, as well as to Dominic Swift and Jasmine Chubb who won respective Age Championships.   

2018 Kirby Cup Interview

Lindsay McNeil and Lachlan van der Pluijm were recently promoted by Western Sydney University on their website regarding the Redlands Mooting team’s Grand Final win at the end of last year. The team involved Lindsay and Lachlan arguing a legal case in front of three judges including the Honourable David Collier AM, former Justice of the Family Court of Australia. They were admirably supported in this appeal by Clerk of the Court, Isabel Binnekamp and instructing solicitor, Chloe Woodward. View the story and video here.
