Year 9
Theatresports
The Intermediate Threatresports Team that represented Redlands last Friday night at Normanhurst Boys High was comprised of three Year 9s, Remie Gibbs, Serafina Scotting and Abbie Sewell. The girls did a great job, finishing in a 3-way tie for 3rd place. We are so proud of these girls for stretching outside their comfort zone, meeting and making friends with students from other schools, and taking on the challenge.
Congratulations!
SCHOOL TV – Friendship & Belonging
“The ability to obtain, maintain and retain friendships is, according to all the childhood psychologists in the whole wide world, the greatest predictor of wellbeing. Having a rich repertoire of friends is a true indicator of whether your child is travelling ok.”
Michael Carr-Gregg
It is not always easy for children and teenagers to always know how to manage friendships. Learning how to make new friends and keep them involves a number of skills every young person needs to understand and develop. For some these skills will come very naturally, allowing them to easily move between different friendship groups, sharing their experiences and opening up to new people. For others, this can be much harder to navigate. Belonging to a group that is like-minded with similar interests is highly beneficial to a child’s wellbeing. Friendships are full of ups and downs and it is better for kids to learn how to manage and build their own friendships, even though as an adult carer you may be tempted to interfere.
