He also taught at Redlands School, Cremorne from 1913–1916. The school yearbook reported that "Mr Collins class for design is fast becoming a popular one. There is evidently no lack of talent, and some of the work done shows great promise for the future." One notable student was Alison Rehfisch (née Green). He awarded a special prize to another student, Jean Sulman for designing a new cover for the school magazine which was used from 1915 to 1938. He was also on the teaching staff at Normanhurst, Meriden, Ascham, St Vincent's (and perhaps others) at various times.

Too Tired
by: Albert CollinsI layed down last night, too tired to wait
I had a chill this mornin', too tired to shake
I got a good poker hand, too tired to win
I could hear my baby knockin', too tired to let her in
I'm tired, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm tired
Too tired, too tired for anything
Too tired to walk, too tired to run
I can hear my baby callin', too tired, too tired
Too tired, yes, I'm tired
I'm tired, too tired for anything
I'm tired of prosperity, tired of luck
Sittin' on a pin, I'm too tired to get up
I'm tired, I declare, I declare, I'm tired
Too tired, tired, too tired for anything
I'm tired, baby
