Parent Experience

Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

The school opened in 1884 as the College for Girls in Milsons Point and moved to Redlands, Military Road in 1899. In 1946 Miss Roseby sold Redlands to Sydney Church of England Girls' Grammar School (SCEGGS). The first boys were admitted to the Junior and Prep Schools in 1981, marking co-education; the International Baccalaureate was introduced in 1982; the school celebrated its centenary in 1984. The Cremorne campus opened in 2011 (now the Junior Campus) and a new Preparatory School and Dunnet Hall opened in 2018. A New Learning Hub opened on the Senior Campus in 2020, the Fahl Garden opened in 2021, and in 2024 a Master Plan was announced to restructure the campus into a single K-6 Junior School.

Community

The RPFA coordinates parent involvement and organizes community events; it meets twice a term with representatives of the School Executive, the Board and the Foundation. The RPFA is the first point of contact for Redlands community events or support and organizes events that involve parents and friends of Redlands, including Friends of Groups for sports and cocurricular activities. Redlands hosts a range of community events such as Gala Ball, Gala Arts, and a Community Golf Day, and alumni events celebrate connections within the Redlands community. Redlands is a Round Square member and participates in events such as World Ocean Day with partner schools, reflecting a commitment to global citizenship. The school marked its 140-year anniversary with a series of community events.

Parent-Teacher Association

The RPFA is the Redlands Parents and Friends Association, a group of committed parents who support the broad activities of the Redlands School community. It is the first point of contact for Redlands community events or support. The RPFA meets twice a term, with representatives from the School Executive, the Board and the Foundation, providing a forum to raise and discuss matters. It coordinates parent involvement and supports school activities through Friends of Groups for sports and cocurricular activities. It collaborates with the Community Engagement team to support giving and the School's strategic priorities, and it helps welcome new members via Parent Contact Groups. It fosters parent voice and involvement across the Redlands community.

Redlands is a coeducational day school in Australia for ages 3 to 18. The curriculum combines the Australian Curriculum with International Baccalaureate Diploma, giving families a flexible pathway from Preschool through Year 12. The IB Diploma has been offered since 1988, making Redlands the longest‑running IB school in New South Wales. In Years 11–12 students choose six subjects with Higher Level and Standard Level options, and the school also offers a Bi‑lingual Diploma. The HSC pathway provides a broad mix of 1‑ and 2‑unit subjects across Standard, Advanced and Extension levels, with Preliminary courses beginning in Year 11 and internal assessments contributing toward HSC marks. The Redlands Learning Platform supports higher‑order thinking, deep learning, social‑emotional development and independent study, drawing on Harvard University research. The school originated in 1884, moved to its site in 1899, and operates across three campuses with a Master Plan to unite Junior to Senior education.
