Overview
  • In the Winter Term of each school year, Redlands offers interested students the opportunity to combine their academic lessons with an intensive and high quality programme of on snow training.
  • At the Schools High Country Campus in Jindabyne the academic programme is stringent and close links are maintained with Redlands teaching staff in Sydney through the use of appropriate technology.
  • The programme allows students to follow their full Academic Curriculum through a programme of lessons, tutorials and study sessions throughout the week. Ski and snowboard training occurs at Thredbo.
  • Although skiing and snowboarding provides the major physical focus for the programme, it is in the development of self-discipline, self-motivation and personal organisation that the real benefit lies. Students benefit enormously from a combination of the lessons learned on the mountains slopes with the steep learning curve created by ten weeks of independent living.
  • Redlands hosts the Redlands Cup annually at Thredbo and competes in both the NSW Championships and the National Championships.

A Unique Opportunity

  • Redlands Winter School was established in 1995 and is a truly unique educational opportunity, offered by no other school in the Southern Hemisphere.
  • Tailored to the needs of individual students, this programme provides the opportunity for students to experience part of their education at the School's High Country Campus at Jindabyne in the Snowy Mountains, New South Wales.
  • While ensuring uninterrupted continuity of students academic priorities, it provides the further opportunity to add true balance to their education.
  • The Redlands Winter School helps students gain an appreciation of the fragile natural environment of the Snowy Mountains region as a World Biosphere Reserve. At the same time it promotes physical and mental fitness in the context of skiing and snowboarding skills, enabling students to train to championship standard.
