Year 7

Canteen Update

As you have been made aware, we have commenced online ordering in the Senior Campus Canteen this year and we are strongly encouraging students to use this system for purchasing food in the Canteen for the remainder of this term. 

From the beginning of Term 1 2021 we will be moving to a more complete pre-order system in the Secondary School. This will mean that if students want to purchase a hot or pre-prepared meal for Recess or Lunch, they will have to use the online purchasing system, Flexischools. While there will still be some snacks available for students to purchase in person at Recess and Lunch, the majority of meals will only be available for students to pre-order via Flexischools.

This arrangement will allow for:

• a more extensive menu for students to choose from
• certainty for students that meals will be available for them to pick up in the Canteen
• less wastage of food in the Canteen

Many parents would be currently using this arrangement in the Junior School which has had positive feedback.

CANTEEN ORDERING – FLEXISCHOOLS

Parents and carers can create a Flexischools account for their family and link a credit card and student number to the account. Students can submit orders up until 8.30am to ensure they are available for them to pick up at Recess or Lunch. We would encourage all students and parents to create an account and start using Flexischools this term to ensure they are fully prepared for this change next year. More details regarding online Canteen ordering are available on Redlands Pulse. 

Yr 7 Incursion

What an exciting day we had this week with our Yr 7 Burn Bright incursion.

It was wonderful for our students to build on their sense of connectedness with their peers and the school community. Through multiple interactive activities, students explored peer-to-peer relationships and the importance of finding and following what they were passionate about with those around them. With ‘friendships’ a focus, this enabled students to reflect on why these relationships were important and having your ‘team’ surrounding you, providing students with the skill set to navigate through their high school years. This was a wonderful day for our students, with lots of laughs and fun amongst the key messages required for age and stage.
