We, as students of Redhill school, are dismayed by the resignation of Mrs Pinheiro. We would value the opinion of the Redhill community - parents, alumni and students - as to her value as a part of the Redhill family. We, if at all possible, would like to show her how much we support her. If you are of the opinion that Mrs Pinheiro, Head of Miller House and HoD English, cherished mentor, beloved by her students, past and present, a consummate professional, dedicated and devoted to our school, should still be a part of the Redhill family, would you help us let the Redhill Board of Trustees know, by signing here.

Thanks to Mrs Pinheiro's dedication and brilliant teaching, our daughter has obtained firsts at university and has been asked to major in english.
I have been out of the Redhill system for 4 years now, but I will always remember Mrs. P. Whatever the reason behind her resignation, she should be treasured enough to be able to remain a part of the Redhill family.
Mrs P was a huge part of my education. This is an outrage. Personal relationships are no grounds for the dismaissal of such a fine woman and teacher.
To imagine my time at Redhill being spent without Mrs Pinheiro is unthinkable. Being taught by her in Grade 8, 11 & 12 was a privilege and I thank her for helping me to realise my passion for Public Speaking and to hone it as a skill. Mrs P is a rare kind of teacher in that the extent of her influence goes far beyond the realm of the classroom. English periods with her were always guaranteed to develop into valuable lessons about life and how to be better people. Redhill will be hard-pressed to find someone as dedicated, passionate and wise as her. She is irreplaceable.
In a country that is rife with unemployment, lack of opportunity, poor education and in desperate need of decent educators, we ought to cherish teachers like Mrs. P who go beyond the call of duty and touch the lives of their students in more ways than one (as a mentor, a friend, a shoulder to cry on and a mother away from home).
Dear Redhill Community, although I am touched by the kind words and caring interest you have shown me, I am concerned that the best interests of our beloved Redhill are not being served. I wish to clarify - for a number of reasons my family and I felt that my being at the school was no longer ideal for us. of course, I would have loved to stay, but this would have been difficult for us. in recognition of my love for the school I appeal to everyone to make no further assumptions surrounding my decision. For me, it is time to look at new and exciting prospects. Redhill will always have a special place in my heart.
Dear Redhill Community

I most certainly would not be the individual that I am today without the love, care and support of Mrs Pinheiro. I have yet to meet someone who believed in me so wholeheartedly whilst I was in school. She is the epitome of a true Redhillian and it would be unfortunate for future Redhillians not to get the chance to receive the 'Pinheiro Experience'. There are very few people who are as committed to and passionate about their job as she is. She would go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that we received the best out of school. I cannot imagine a Redhill without Mrs P.
