Key Date

Emilie Bessell – Basketball 

Congratulations to the Girls 1st Basketball team on an excellent season. The team played in the NSWCIS Basketball Championship on Wednesday 22 July. The first game of the day was against Pymble Ladies College. A tightly fought final quarter from Redlands saw some great teamwork, which resulted in a 10 point lead at the final siren. The second and final game of the day was against St Luke’s. St Luke’s gained some momentum in the second half. Although St Luke’s had the upper hand in the end, it was a great effort from the Redlands girls. Redlands should be very proud of their efforts on the day. Notable mention goes to Emilie Bessell of Yr 9 for her representation as a member of this team. Emilie is also congratulated for being selected as an ISA Representative player in 2020 and for receiving ISA Colours as a recognition of excellence in her commitment to Girls Basketball.

Registration for ICAS 2020 

The 2020 International Competition and Assessment for Schools (ICAS) in Science will take place on Monday 17 August in school. This competition is undertaken by over 400,000 students across Australia and the region, and is a rigorous test of scientific thinking. Participation in the competition provides our students with excellent examination practice and an opportunity to see how they fare in competition with students of their own age from across the country. Students who are interested in Science can use the test to assess areas of strength and weakness. Success at the test is a way of demonstrating aptitude when applying for Science related opportunities in and out of school.

Entry for students in Yrs 7-10 is voluntary. Please complete the registration form before Monday 3 August if you would like them to take part. A fee of $15.95 will be charged to your account if you wish your child to participate. 

More information about ICAS is here. Please contact Ms Simone Bryant, Assistant Science Coordinator, if you have any queries.
