Year 8

R U OK?Day is Thursday 8 September 

It’s our national day of action when we remind Australians that every day is the day to  ask, ‘are you OK?’ and start a meaningful conversation whenever they spot the signs that someone they care about might be struggling with life. 

During Tutor time, our Yr 8 students engaged with a range of discussion activities to ask each other how they are going and whether they are ok. 

ISA Athletics Carnival 

The ISA Athletics Carnival is taking place next Tuesday at Sydney Olympic Park. Students who have been selected for the ISA Athletics team, will need to meet at the Fahl Garden at 7am. The team will depart Sydney Olympic Park at 5:30pm and should arrive back to the Redlands Senior Campus at 6pm. There will be a team meeting and training session this coming Friday at Balmoral Oval after school with a bus dropping the team to the oval at 3:30 and a bus returning students back to school by 5:15. If there is rain on Friday, the team meeting/training will be moved to the Junior School. Best of luck to all students competing at the ISA Athletics Carnival.

Uniform Reminder  

Yr 8 are reminded to wear their full school Winter Uniform with pride for the remainder of Term 3. This means students are required to wear their blazer to and from school. Please remember to polish your shoes! Please also remember that necklaces, rings and dangly earrings aren’t part of the school uniform. If for any reason, the correct uniform cannot be worn, please email the Year Adviser to discuss.
