Redlands, is an independent, co-educational, day school, located in Cremorne, New South Wales, Australia.
The school is non-selective and currently caters for approximately 1600 students from Redlands House Early Childhood to Year 12.
Redlands is a member of the Association of Independent Schools NSW, the Independent Schools Association, and the Council of International Schools.
Established in 1884 as a school for girls (and boys in the younger years) and run by the Misses Liggins and Arnold until around 1910, Redlands later established an association with the Anglican Diocese of Sydney and became the Sydney Church of England Girls Grammar School, Redlands in 1945 — hence "SCEGGS" and, later "SCECGS". Redlands severed legal ties with the Anglican diocese in 1976, and was re-constituted as a wholly independent school. The current name is Redlands, Sydney Church of England Co-Educational Grammar School, though it is more commonly referred to simply as Redlands. Redlands turned 130 in 2014.
The formal link with the Sydney Anglican diocese was severed in 1976; SCEGGS, Redlands (as it then was), SCEGGS Darlinghurst, SCEGGS, Wollongong and SCEGGS, Loquat Valley survived by re-constituting themselves as wholly independent entities, severing their legal ties with the Anglican diocese while retaining the "Church of England" title in their corporate names. SCEGGS, Moss Vale, was unable to recover, and closed. Loquat Valley became a member of the Sydney Anglican Schools Corporation
The Latin school motto of Redlands, Luceat lux vestra, is taken from Matthew 5:16, translates "Let your light shine." It appears in the school song which was shared with the other SCEGGS schools:
After the collapse of the SCEGGS school network, and Redlands' admission of boys in 1978, the first line of the SCEGGS song was altered at Redlands to "Students of Redlands School, those old and new...."
