Shibakashi Day 2011
Shibakashi Day 2011 was held on Friday 17 June. Over 300
students and staff from our Sister School Shibakashi came to
spend the day with Redeemer Senior School students, as part
of their five day annual study tour. The Senior School Japanese
students acted as leaders for the 36 groups of Japanese,
providing them with support throughout the time they were here.
This important cultural occasion highlights the role language
learning can play in our students’ lives. We look forward to
welcoming Shibakashi again in 2012.
ReCykle 2011
The annual ReCykle event held on Wednesday 10 August,
organised by the Senior School Community Service
Committee in conjunction with the School Spirit Committee
was a huge success.
A total of $830 was raised from the drinks stall, sausage
sizzle and the Krispy Kreme donut stall. All funds go towards
the Leprosy Mission. Thank you to all staff and students for
supporting the event. Congratulations to Lavarack House for
being the winning team in 2011!
Year 11 Manufacturing
Interhouse Pavement
Art Competition
On Thursday 3 November, Year 11 Manufacturing students
undertook their largest construction project to date. The project
saw students prepare, pour and finish a concrete slab that will
be used as an outdoor construction area for Design Technology
students. The concrete slab is 72m2 in size and provided students
with learning experiences such as constructing formwork,
preparing steel reinforcement, obtaining levels using a laser
level and moving and finishing concrete. The students applied
themselves very well to the task on what turned out to be a very
hot day. A big thank you must go to Colin Harper Concreting for
their expert help and assistance on the day.
The theme for the 2011
Redeemer Lutheran
College Interhouse
Chalk Art Competition
required a design with
at least one wheel.
Each of the four Houses
entered three teams of
four students. The event
reflected the vertical
house ethos as teams
were made up of a
mixture of students from
Years 9 to 12.
The chalk art designs
could be devised in
several ways: Students could use a famous artwork as a starting
point and change or “appropriate” the composition to suit this
challenge. Or, they could use their own art work but ensure their
composition contained a wheel/wheels.
