HE AD O F COLLE GE True Blue
redeemer record
True Blue. I think these words apply to Redeemer. Not only does this term echo our school colours, all three shades of them, but it also alludes to a certain integrity, a strong set of Christian and Australian values, which we espouse. These include honesty, industriousness, resilience, commitment, compassion and fairness. To be genuine Christians, such actions and attitudes will be real evidence of the faith we have in our God. To be true blue Australians, such notions are vehemently embraced and espoused across the nation. They are the type of values, which if pursued seriously, can make a school great. If compromised, they will begin to corrode its moral fibre and eventually its effectiveness and viability. As Christians we know that we can never achieve them perfectly, but at Redeemer we constantly aspire to these values. In a year in which our integrity as a Christian school which cares for its students and conducts its life in an honest and caring manner has been questioned, it is fitting that we reiterate these values with even greater enthusiasm and commitment. Despite some adverse media coverage early in Term 3, we have enjoyed a wonderful end of year. The
Re d e e me r Fair
Saturday 27 October 2007
whole college community has rallied and we have had a wonderful crop of Year 12 graduates who finished the year with distinction. We find ourselves in the midst of physical change, a refurbished administration block, C Block converted into a commodious staff room, H Block teachers just about to enjoy an upgrade to their home base, a major overhaul of Home Economics facilities, the Tuckshop precinct enlarged and improved and F block converted to a headquarters for Information and Communication Technology staff. And that is not to mention the new facilities that are planned to be built over the next twelve months. Stages 1 and 2 of the Junior School, delayed because of a slow passage through Brisbane City Council, are now looking more possible. We are erecting another two classrooms for Years 6 and 7 in the Middle School. And we are also adding an industrial kitchen and a functions centre able to seat up to 120 diners to the Home Economics area. Two new soccer pitches for the Stolz Sportsfields will soon be underway as well. Takes your breath away. A good time to make a donation to the building fund. True blue!

WEDNESDAY 24 October 2007
Mr Richard Hauser Head of College
C HAP L A I N ’S COLUM N Redeemer is a Christian school. From the outset its spiritual life has been a central focus. However, as a school its primary task is education in the broad sense. Redeemer does this well, and the Christian faith has been the framework that has embodied it. Although that is written in to our official documentation, and although its presence is clearly seen in the school every day, it is not a situation that can be taken for granted. It needs to be foremost in the minds of people. In a culture which prides itself on tolerance, the Christian faith offers something singular and exclusive. Although we take seriously the importance of inclusiveness in all kinds of ways, and although we value the uniqueness and giftedness of all of our students, there is also a sense in which we are not inclusive. On the one hand we are respectful of different opinions, yet on the other hand we affirm the words of the apostle Paul: “The Jews look for signs, and the Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified.” (1 Cor.1:22). We preach that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life; not just one possible alternative, but the way. We do not understand this to be compatible with other 2
Redeemer Record 2007
worldviews. As a school pastor, it is my particular responsibility to uphold this, and every day I must strike a balance between holding singularly to the faith I have vowed to live by and promote, and yet respecting that others hold different views which may be conflicting with my own. This I must respect. The Redeemer community has changed considerably this year with the addition of the Junior School. Whilst there have been frustrations with its development, it is nevertheless a vibrant little community, and it adds a rich dimension to school life. Every single student was new to the Junior School this year, and it’s been wonderful to see the relationships grow. As a parent of children in the Junior School I make trips across to the Junior School every day, and in some ways it feels like crossing over to a different world. And yet in other ways it doesn’t. There is something very familiar going on. It is still a place of sound education within the framework of Christian values. Many people comment on how Redeemer is changing. They’re right – it is. Yet in other ways it is still the same Redeemer. In the many changes that Redeemer has experienced we can continue to make the Christian faith a central part of our life together.

P re p 2 0 0 7 Our Graduating Class of 2019
2007 has been a year of new teachers, new students, new families, new experiences and new adventures for the Junior School.
Our highlights this year include: •
The first Chapel service - so many new, eager and excited faces.
Establishing the Junior School has been an exciting journey, sometimes challenging, but on the whole, rewarding.
•
Having our play fort installed, providing the students with opportunities to move, climb, slide and swing.
‘Thank you’ to the Junior School staff for your dedication, enthusiasm and flexibility throughout the year.
•
The entertaining performances at Redeemer Fair.
•
Our Book Week activity celebrations.
•
Our Friday Assemblies where we gather to worship and affirm one another.
•
The inaugural Sports Day which was well organised and run. Fun was had by all.
•
And of course, the upgrades to the Junior School facilities, such as our new office demountable and concrete paths.
‘Thank you’ to the parents for your patience, interest, vision, belief in the Redeemer community and volunteer work in the classroom. ‘Thank you’ to the students for your eagerness, compliance and smiling faces. ‘Thank you’ to the extended Redeemer Community for your support, guidance and prayers.

Mi dd l e S ch ool Redeemer Middle Schoolers have taken their learning outside the classroom throughout second semester. The German students enjoyed the food and culture at Oktoberfest and the Year 7 students enjoyed culture of a different kind when they visited the Queensland Art Gallery, the Gallery of Modern Art, the State Library and Brisbane City Hall. The Lady Mayoress spoke with our group at City Hall and for some of the students, a highlight was the opportunity to sit in a ceremonial chair made especially for Queen Elizabeth and used by her on a visit to Brisbane. Year 8 students spent a day on a mystery tour for SOSE and found themselves in such diverse places as the Port of Brisbane, Cleveland Cemetery, the Maritime Museum, Ipswich Rail Museum and Bethania Lutheran Church.
redeemer record
Some of our Years 6 and 7 students represented Redeemer at the Let’s Solve It Maths Competition and were a real credit to our school. This year’s Middle School Speech Contest featured a record 26 entrants and the adjudicator, Mrs Robyn Solomon,
Se nior SchooL commented upon the high standard of many speakers. Musical talent and dedication to practice were evident in the wonderful performances at the Middle School Music Concert. Our Year 6 classes fiercely contested the Golden Tin Competition and Class 6VF are the proud holders (for one year) of the Golden Tin trophy. Sport is a school highlight for many students, who participated throughout Semester 2 in the TAS and Junior TAS sports competitions. Almost half our Years 6 and 7 students were involved in the TAS Junior Ball Games Carnival at which Redeemer hosted ten competing schools. As I look at the list of co-curricular activities in which our Middle Schoolers have been involved, I am pleased to see that many of them are grasping the myriad of opportunities that come their way, and are using these opportunities to develop themselves physically, socially, academically and spiritually. I pray that they will always have the enthusiasm and energy to embrace life to the fullest. Mrs Judy Powell (formerly Wintour) Head of Middle School
This past year has been an exciting one for all of us who spend our days in the Senior School at Redeemer. Students and staff have witnessed significant physical changes to our environment with what has seemed like non-stop building and renovating. We have all benefited from the redevelopment of the old P & F building into a modern self-serve Tuckshop, watched 20 year old staffrooms be transformed into efficient work stations and the Home Economics building begin its metamorphosis into a modern industrial kitchen. More changes will occur over these Christmas holidays. Other less obvious changes have also occurred. We successfully ran our first inter-house music competition and saw the introduction of new subjects such as Extension English, Prevocational Maths, Manufacturing Technology and Information Technology Systems. Our current Year 9 students have chosen subjects for 2008 from a list of new offerings including elective Science and SOSE units. 2007 also saw the start of the Junior School, providing Year 12 students with the opportunity to show leadership through assisting at the P-5 swimming and athletics carnivals and a combined whole school Redeemer Fair.
Whilst all these changes are indicative of our desire to meet the challenges of a rapidly evolving educational setting, it is also calming to know that some things in the Senior School continue to remain unchanged. All students are important and cared for by teachers attached to our House-based pastoral care system, achieving to their potential across all areas of curricular and co-curricular life is highly valued, and the good news of God’s unconditional love and saving grace forms the centre point of all that we do here at Redeemer Lutheran College. Mr Dennis Mulherin Head of Senior School Senior School Highlights of 2007 •
Major fundraising ventures – Recycle, Shave for a Cure (student initiated and run).
•
House competitions – especially the Pavement Art and inaugural Cultural Competition.
•
Wilson co-winning the House shield with Ramsay after years of struggle.
•
Mitchell Smith creating a monthly newsletter for students by students.

Ballon Ou td oor Ed u cat ion Tucked in among the Barakula State Forest which is approximately 200km from Toowoomba is the home of the experience we know as Ballon. This small community is a part of Redeemer that allows our students to grow in independence through mind, body and soul. For four weeks during the second semester of Year 9, our students go without radio, television, mobile phones and computers and survive without soft drink and sweets. Through this, students can develop an appreciation for nature and the basic necessities of life. Learning to live in group environments and taking on leadership roles in the activities they undertake, allow them to grow and mature at such a crucial stage of their personal development. Ballon is considered by many as a highlight of their time here at Redeemer and as such, take this experience and the life skills learnt into their senior years of schooling.

His quote was “You will not get anywhere with basketball”. As we all know, Michael Jordan became arguably the world’s best player, earning multi millions and to this day his high school Maths teacher is still doing his job.

Sport has a way of allowing athletes to excel by giving opportunities and creating pathways to dreams and ambitions. Here at Redeemer, I have tried to fuel ambitions and create a pathway for students to excel. Often sport can be perceived as an interesting “add-on” activity in life. It is important that we support the ambitions of our young sports men and women, those who dare to dream, those who strive towards a goal often succeed with support. We only have to look at the number of athletes, 23 students in total, who have made Regional, State and National representation in 2007, to know this is true. At the TAS level, Redeemer was, for the first time in history, after a successful 2006 campaign, placed in Blue Division in Trimester 2 and 3 as well as Athletics, Swimming, and Inter-school sport. This was due, not only to the hard work of the students themselves, but also to our coaches and staff who put in many hours behind the scenes in order for our students to compete at this level. Unfortunately, our younger aged teams found the standard very high and wins hard to come by. As a result, with the system that TAS has in place, Redeemer finds itself in Red Division for all three Trimesters in 2008. Nevertheless there was some significant achievement from teams. In Trimester 1, our girls’ Tennis teams continued to excel and develop in all years, particularly Open A and B teams. During Trimester 2, our First XV Rugby team, Open B and Year 9A Tennis teams, First XI and Year 8 Hockey teams, and the Open A, B, C, and Year 9B Netball teams were all premiers. Trimester 3 saw our First XI and Second XI Soccer teams finish in the top three for the first time in Redeemer’s history since the inception of Red and Blue divisions. Our Open B Softball team was also premiers. 2007 was also a year of firsts in the way of the inaugural UK/Paris sporting tour. This involved sending 26 students (12 Netball and 14 Soccer players) and four staff to tour both the UK and Paris for two weeks, pitting themselves against four other schools. This was certainly an eye opening experience with the group learning first-hand the pros and cons of living on the other side of the world. 10
