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.

“For us necessity is not as of old an image without us, with whom we can do warfare; it is a magic web woven through and through us, like that magnetic system of which modern science speaks, penetrating us with a network subtler than our subtlest nerves, yet bearing in it the central forces of the world.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
