As we reach the midpoint of Term 2, it’s hard to believe how quickly the year is flying by – but as the saying goes, time really does fly when you're having fun!

Behind the scenes, there’s been plenty of activity as we continue our commitment to improving the experience for students, parents, and our broader school community. One of our key focus areas this term has been refining and streamlining processes within our Administration Business Unit. These improvements are aimed at increasing accessibility and simplifying engagement with the College for our families and community members.

Facilities and Maintenance
Our Facilities Team and I have also been working diligently to strengthen and align our systems in support of the College's long-term Facility Maintenance Plan. This work will ensure that maintenance is not only timely but strategically planned and prioritised. We are excited to share that once these foundational systems are finalised, you will begin to see visible outcomes around the College, with a range of maintenance and enhancement projects scheduled to roll out in the coming months.

Secondary Canteen Expansion
A major project we’re thrilled to announce is the upcoming expansion and upgrade of our Secondary Campus Canteen. After extensive planning and design work, Stage 1 of the transformation will commence during the June/July school holidays and continue into Term 3.

This stage will introduce a modern, self-service canteen model designed to streamline the lunch purchase process and reduce wait times for students. In addition to the self-service area, the internal kitchen space will be refurbished to enhance both food preparation and service delivery.

To minimise disruption during the renovation period, we will have a fully operational mobile kitchen on-site, ensuring that students continue to have access to canteen services throughout the upgrade.

I’ll be sharing further updates, including timelines and progress photos, as we approach the end of term to keep you informed every step of the way.

Thank you for your continued support of Redlynch State College – it’s a pleasure to work alongside such a vibrant and engaged community.
