Redlands
Secondary School

Redlands is one of the leading Secondary Schools in Sydney and offers a coeducational learning environment for students from Years 7-12; an environment that cultivates mutual respect between all genders and prepares them for a world that is ever-changing. 

Redlands Secondary School Students In The Classroom

With a strong focus on holistic individual student growth, our students grow academically and emotionally in a values-based environment. They develop skills of critical and creative thinking, problem solving, creativity and collaboration, all skills that are a prerequisite to thrive in and meet the challenges of today’s world.

Learning Together,
Leading Together

By learning and leading together in a coeducational environment, students develop a diversity of ideas and opinions to challenge traditional viewpoints and build resilience. All the major Secondary School leadership roles have joint positions, allowing students to gain valuable experience leading all genders, placing them in good stead upon their graduation from Redlands. 

As one of the leading secondary schools in Sydney, we’ve long recognised that coeducation is a more natural reflection of today’s society and strongly believe in preparing our students for the real world where all genders work alongside one another. Our students develop into well-rounded, confident and compassionate young adults, ready to make a strong contribution to the world of the future.

Redlands Secondary School
Student Wellbeing

Student Wellbeing at Redlands is the embodiment of our ethos, values and mission – it is being committed to fostering a learning environment which is safe, supportive and caring where each student is known and valued. We aim to ensure that school life is a positive, meaningful and rewarding experience and direct the energies of the School towards the holistic social and emotional development of each student.

We recognise that students bring with them a wide range of interests, strengths and talents and we work with students and parents to explore and expand these, to support the growth and development of skills and to build a strong sense of compassion and empathy within our school community.

The Redlands learning program is supported by an extensive range of sport and cocurricular opportunities, encouraging students to learn, to achieve and to develop their unique skills and talents.

An Engaging
Curriculum

Our world class learning program has now offered students the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme as well as the HSC for over 25 years – providing the opportunity for Year 11-12 students to select the course of study most appropriate to their individual strengths and preferences.

Redlands has offered the International Baccalaureate since 1988, longer than any other school in NSW. Our 30+ year association with the IB has helped to build our reputation as a leading provider of a well-rounded global education. 

The IB is an international qualification and meets the needs of students who are becoming increasingly more globally minded and are looking for an alternative to the HSC. The international awareness and knowledge gained during their studies will be beneficial to our IB students as they pursue careers and opportunities and seek to make a difference in an increasingly globalised world. 

Learning within a collaborative, vibrant and innovative culture, complemented by a comprehensive leadership and service program, Secondary School students are motivated to become well-rounded, confident and compassionate young adults.
