Year 12

Welcome Back

Welcome back to Term 2, and I hope that all families had a lovely Easter holiday break.

We wanted to take this opportunity to remind parents that all of the usual support services are still available, although they may look a little different. Tutors, Year Advisors, Counsellors, the Dean of Students and the Chaplain are available as Pastoral supports. Students can email these supports directly or through wellbeing@redlands.nsw.edu.au and staff will respond accordingly during school hours.

Our Counsellors have developed a Pastoral Support iLearn page with a variety of different resources. Parents are also welcome to email any of these supports if you are concerned about your son or daughter, or just need some advice about how to support them.

Legacy – Tea Towel Initiative

Due to COVID-19, the tea towel company have adjusted their requirements. Students can do the following at home:

  • Draw yourself on a ¼ A4 piece of paper
  • Draw FACE ONLY
  • Print name clearly in LARGE LETTERING close to the drawing but NOT overlapping.

Simple drawings will reproduce better at this size.

BLACK PEN ONLY – NO pencil, ballpoint or colour pen. The following drawing pens are preferred, this will ensure pictures are clear and names legible.

  1. Sharpie Fine point
  2. Artline 0.6
  3. Pentel Sign Pen
  4. Child’s BLACK Texta
  • Once artwork is completed, it can be scanned (or take a photo on phone) and emailed directly to the Redlands Alumni office –alumni@redlands.nsw.edu.au. We will collect and save all images. Once all are submitted, we will send to the tea towel company for production.

Please also take a photo of yourself with your photo and email it to raswilson@redlands.nsw.edu.au so we have some fun images to share.

Virtual Mother’s Day Classic 2020

The Mother’s Day Classic is an annual fun run and walk raising funds and awareness for breast cancer research. The aim of the Mother’s Day Classic is to deliver a fun, healthy and inspirational community event that brings the community together on Mother’s Day to support and remember those touched by breast cancer. Have fun, get active and help us raise funds online for vital breast cancer research.

The Redlands community has taken part in the Mother’s Day Classic for many years and we don’t want this year to be any different. We’re calling on students and family members, staff and alumni to sign up and support this wonderful event as it goes virtual.

We challenge participants to walk or run 4km or 8km – anytime, anywhere, in your living room, at the local park or even in your backyard – on or before Mother’s Day (Sunday 10 May) and be a part of something big.
