Year 9

Student Achievements

Theo Mirrlees-Black and Harrison Winton have been invited to the Sydney University Gifted and Talented Discovery Program in recognition of their outstanding result on their qualifying examination, placing them in the top 5% of the over 1500 Yrs 8 and 9 students who sat the examination across Australia. We warmly congratulate Theo and Harrison for this excellent result and honour.

We commend Toby Griffiths for his participation at CIS. Toby represented Redlands in Diving last Thursday at the Secondary Diving Competition at Homebush.

George Murphy recently competed in the Teine Youth Moguls U18 (duals) and the Niseko Superbumps A Class Open and placed third in both of these competitions. These were particularly impressive results as George competed against much older skiers in these events. 

Farewell

We bid farewell to Maya Mendoza as she departs Redlands. The Mendoza family are moving to Guam and we wish them well with their relocation.

Please be aware that buses will depart and return to the Junior Campus at Allister Street. I thank all parents and caregivers who have filled in the requisite medical forms and returned them promptly.
