The Gala Arts production was a most memorable event that showcased the exceptional artistic talent of our students. The night was a wonderful celebration, with a highlight being the obvious joy and sense of fun exuded by each of our student leaders when introducing each of the items. Their personalities shone through and the strength of their support for each other and gratitude to the staff was very moving. The comments of praise made by guest judge Leah Howard regarding the standard of performances were so encouraging, particularly so for a number of students working towards careers in the Arts beyond the gates of Redlands.

At the conclusion of the evening we enjoyed a video presentation of highlights of the 2020 and 2021 performances, given that the event was online in these years. My thanks to all staff who gave so much energy and time to the production and most significantly to the students for sharing their talent and passion for the Arts.
