SPRING FAIR MAP
CALLING ALL PARENTS! We need your help to make the Fair a big success! Lean in and be part of it all and help make this an extra special day for all our kids. Sign up via the form, every effort, for an hour or a day, is welcome!
SIGN UP
Free to Enter, Full of Fun!
Entry to the Spring Fair is completely free, and so is a full day of entertainment at the performance stage — cheer on our bands, singers and dance performers throughout the day. So much more than rides and carnival games, there’s plenty to see and do with something for everyone to enjoy. Full entertainment programme coming soon…
Sideshow Alley, Where the Excitement Never Stops
Sideshow Alley offers some classic fairground fun! Take your shot at your favourite teacher in the Dunk Tank, get your face painted into something wild, style some crazy new hair, or put your skills to the test across a range of carnival games.
Start planning your baking for the Spring Fair Cake Stall
Calling all bakers, big and small! We’re looking for sweet treats for the Cake Stall (store bought also welcome!).
Drop off is Friday 11 September. Please list ingredients and clearly flag major allergens (gluten, eggs and dairy). Donations can be sent in a reusable container labelled with your child’s name, year and class (for Junior School students) so we can return it to you, or, grab a disposable box from the Junior School Reception or Senior School Services from Monday 7 September 2026.
Details on drop-off times and locations will follow soon.
Donate a Prize for the Spring Fair Raffle
We’re inviting the Redlands community to help us stock prizes for lucky draw raffles! We’ll have separate prize pools for children and adults, and we’ll be featuring every business that donates a prize. Drop donations at Junior or Senior School Reception or at Senior School Student Services in the marked tubs. Reach out to Lara for more information!
Cheer on our Redlanders
Gear up and get your game face on! There’s nothing like spotting a sea of Redlands colours on the sideline — so make sure you’re part of it. Order your supporter caps, beanies, polos and jackets through Academy Sportswear here, with FREE DELIVERY straight to the Uniform Shop for easy pick-up. Courtside or on the side lines – let’s get behind our kids!

The Redlands Book Club brings together current and past parents who love to read and warmly welcomes new members. We meet twice each term in members’ homes to discuss a book, with the occasional outing to a related event, movie or show.
We generally alternate between daytime and evening meetings to accommodate different people’s schedules. All new members and book lovers are welcome, even if you have not finished the book!
If you’d like to join, please contact Monica at monica.gessner@gmail.com or Sabiha at sabihanaqvi@hotmail.com.
