The perfect introduction to innovation and entrepreneurship with a learn-by-doing approach. This exciting new extra-curricular program is open to students in Years 7-11 wanting to experience “startup life”. Anyone can join, not just students with existing entrepreneurial projects or ideas. 

Working with a team of Experts in Residence each week, and hearing from guest speakers from the startup ecosystem, you’ll be well supported as you explore innovative new ideas and even turn one into a real-world startup venture! 

Whether or not you actually plan on becoming an entrepreneur, the transferable skills, bias towards action, resilience, and creative confidence you’ll build through this program will help you excel in every aspect of school, work, and life.

Year 8 Camp

Redlands prides itself on its values-driven, real-world education. Our Camps are integral to this.

Building upon prior outdoor camp experiences, The Outdoor Experience is a transformative program designed to foster leadership, teamwork and resilience in students.

Set in the picturesque Myall Lakes, this program centres the student experience on group dynamics and collaboration. Through a variety of outdoor activities, students will face challenges that require them to work together, communicate effectively, and support one another.

A key focus is the development of empathy and compassion. Students will learn to understand and appreciate the perspectives of their peers and and how to be part of a community.For all information prior to departure (including the packing list), please visit the following link.
