SCECGS Redlands — Sydney, Australia
School type: IB Diploma Programme · IB Programmes: DP · Live coaching in AEST (Australia East)
SCECGS Redlands — Sydney Church of England Co-educational Grammar School, known simply as Redlands — was founded in 1884 and has occupied its Cremorne campus on Sydney's Lower North Shore since 1899. An independent Anglican school, it became fully co-educational in 1978 and today enrols students from more than 30 nationalities from Preschool to Year 12.
Redlands has offered the IB Diploma Programme since 1988 — longer than any other school in New South Wales. In Years 11 and 12 students choose between the IB Diploma and the NSW Higher School Certificate, and the school runs both pathways in parallel, with the full IB core of Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay and CAS.
Recent results bear out the strength of the IB stream: in 2025 the school's top IB student earned an ATAR equivalent of 99.95, and three students scored 44 out of 45. The school reports that around one in five graduates each year apply to universities in the US, UK, Europe and Asia, with alumni progressing to institutions including Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford and Yale.
For Redlands families, the value of outside IB Biology coaching is rarely content exposure — the school's teaching is strong. The gap is Paper 1 / Paper 2 mark-scheme calibration and structured IA mentorship through the Diploma's two-year cycle. Our 1:1 sessions run in AEST evenings around the school day and the school's busy co-curricular and outdoor-education programme.
Sourced from publicly available rankings, the school's own annual diploma results communications, and the IB Organization's programme authorisations.
Redlands runs the IB Diploma alongside the NSW HSC. In 2025 its strongest IB result converted to an ATAR of 99.95 and three students scored 44/45. The school publishes ATAR conversions and band achievements rather than a single mean point score.
Redlands reports that roughly 20% of each cohort apply to universities abroad — in the US, UK, Europe and Asia — alongside the leading Australian universities (Sydney, UNSW, Melbourne, ANU, Monash). Alumni destinations cited by the school include Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford and Yale. For IB Biology HL students the common pathways are Australian and UK medicine and biomedical science, and US pre-med.
Redlands IB Biology follows the standard two-year DP cycle, with IA work through Year 11 into early Year 12 and final Paper 1 / Paper 2 preparation across the mock windows toward the IB May session. We schedule live 1:1 sessions in AEST evenings (or weekend mornings in sport-heavy weeks), align IA mentorship to the school's internal deadlines, and keep sessions compact so they fit alongside the IB-or-HSC workload and Redlands' outdoor-education commitments.
