  • Thank you to our Yr 8 students (pictured) who assisted in planning our student led Year Assembly last Friday. The assembly focused on risk taking. Well done to all students who actively demonstrated practicing ‘safe risks’ by performing at this assembly. Performers included the intermediate Jazz Band (led by Joe Irvine), Sabrina Blasco (violin) and a drama performance by Tobias Bowgerald, Nicholas Fitzhenry, Joshua Miller and Oliver Noakes.
Yr 8 Camp

Camp information will be distributed in the coming days. There is a short turn around with Camp administration. Carefully familiarise yourself with information and double check that you have met all requirements as there is NO flexibility with deadlines and administrative requirements. You can assist by checking your child’s information on Redlands Pulse is correct and up-to-date, making any necessary changes. Yr 8 Camp is in Week 2 of Term 2 and will be held 5-6 hours north of Sydney. Similar to Yr 7, the Camp is a combination of cabin and tent accommodation throughout the week (two nights of each). More detailed information will be contained in the letter coming home shortly. Thank you for your assistance.

Lost Bags

There are a number of bags going walk-about. This usually means that someone has accidentally picked up the wrong bag; or, the bag has been placed on the ground, has become a trip hazard and has been moved to a safer location. Whilst lost bags are frustrating, there are a number of things students can do to minimise misplacement:

  • Always leave their bag above or in their locker.
  • Avoid leaving their bag in a high traffic area (outside of the toilets/Canteen).
  • If they collect the wrong bag, return the bag to where they found it; or, the Secondary School Office.
  • Do not leave their bag on the floor in hallways/walkways.
  • When removing their bag from the top of lockers and another bag falls, replace both bags.

If a student’s bag goes missing, the best way to locate the bag is:

  • To wait for a few minutes at the end of the school day
  • Go for a walk through the school and look for the bag (after school there will be less people and less bags, making the process of finding the bag easier)
  • To ask some friends to help.
