Year 7

Tutor Time

During Tutor, Yr 7 will be participating in the Redlands Up Project which is inspired by the Up Series, a documentary which followed the lives of ten males and four females in England beginning in 1964, when they were seven years old. The first film was titled Seven Up!  with later films adjusting the number in the title to match the age of the subjects at the time of filming. The documentary has had nine episodes—one every seven years—thus spanning 56 years.

AIM: Capture a ‘moment in time’ to reflect back on and to see how student thoughts, ideas, ambitions and dreams have changed as they grow into young adults. It will provide the students with an opportunity to create a visual “time capsule” that is lighthearted and really enjoyable for them and parents to watch back many years later. Films will be shared at the Valedictory Dinner in Yr 12!

Student Work 

Students in Visual Arts have enjoyed the challenge of learning how to use Adobe Photoshop to create digital artworks. Students have “cloned” themselves and then used Photoshop to create a self portrait artwork. Please view the artworks by Zara Anderson, Katherine Budden and Leonardo Migliucci. Well done to these students for their creativity and engagement with the task.

Attendance and Routine

Students are expected to attend all Zoom lessons. If a student is unable to attend any class, please promptly provide an explanation via email to ssabsence@redlands.nsw.edu.au. As Remote Learning continues, we’re learning the value and importance of structure and routine in maintaining engagement in learning. Mornings are key to setting a good routine for the day. If your child is finding it more challenging to get up in the morning, help them find something to look forward to in the morning, whether that is a cup of tea, a bike ride or a refreshing shower. Sticking to a routine will help them feel more productive and fulfilled throughout the day and make sleep easier in the evening.
