House System
Redlands has four houses. Each student wears a house badge on their blazer as well as having a sports top with the appropriate house emblem on it. Each house is named after a notable family or person linked with the school's history. House pride is most prominent at the school's yearly Swimming Carnival, Athletics Carnival and performing arts night - Gala Arts.

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or system:
“Go to the adolescent who are smothered in family—
Oh how hideous it is
To see three generations of one house gathered together!
It is like an old tree with shoots,
And with some branches rotted and falling.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
