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:
“In front of a widow’s house is a sure spot for trouble.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Exploitation and oppression is not a matter of race. It is the system, the apparatus of world-wide brigandage called imperialism, which made the Powers behave the way they did. I have no illusions on this score, nor do I believe that any Asian nation or African nation, in the same state of dominance, and with the same system of colonial profit-amassing and plunder, would have behaved otherwise.”
—Han Suyin (b. 1917)
