What a start to the year it has been! As Term 1 comes to an end, I want to share how we’ve been working behind the scenes to improve the way we support our school community. This term, we’ve been reviewing and streamlining our business processes to ensure everything runs smoothly and efficiently.

By creating clear structures and improving how we manage key areas like finance and operations, we aim to provide better communication, faster responses, and a more seamless experience for families. These improvements allow us to focus on what matters most—supporting your child’s education and ensuring our College remains a safe, well-organised environment.

Exciting Refresh to Redlynch State College Branding!

We are excited to introduce a refreshed look for Redlynch State College, honouring our rich heritage while embracing our future. Our College has long been a hub of academic excellence, community spirit, and student growth, and this refresh strengthens our identity as a leading educational institution.

What’s Changing? While our well-recognised logo remains, we are modernising our branding to better reflect our vision ‘Learning in our Valley, Thinking Beyond the Hills’ and our core values of Respect, Safety, and Commitment to Learning.

The updated design highlights the stunning hills surrounding our College, reinforcing our unique location. We are also introducing a fresh colour palette inspired by our natural environment, symbolising students' journeys learning in the lush greens of our valley and aspiring towards the vast blue skies of the future.

Why the Refresh? Since its founding in 1932, Redlynch State College has grown significantly, from 80 students to a high-performing Prep to Year 12 college with over 1,800 students. This refresh reflects our continued evolution and commitment to delivering world-class education.

As we finalise our facility upgrades, this new visual identity will create a cohesive and inspiring environment that aligns with our mission—supporting student learning and encouraging them to reach beyond the horizon.

A Proud Legacy, A Bright Future This is more than just a brand update, it’s a tribute to our past, present, and future. I look forward to seeing this transformation unfold and sharing this journey with our entire school community.
