Redeemer Mums The school year began with a “Tea and Tissues” morning tea for new and existing Junior School parents. Approximately 80 people attended and happily there were more smiles than tears. Our next event was a fundraising morning tea for those affected by the January floods. We thank everyone, for so generously supporting this appeal – especially as so many had already donated heavily during the holidays. $1,200 was raised, with 100% of the proceeds being directly distributed to the Lockyer Valley, through Lutheran Education Queensland. Thank you to Julian Schubert (Community Relations Officer) for assisting us so much with co-ordinating this appeal, and helping us raise this money for such a worthy cause. It was heartening to see so many staff members support this cause through their encouraging words, donations, and purchase of morning teas. We have deduced from the plates purchased that Redeemer staff are definitely a bunch of “sweet tooths”. In June, 26 ladies embarked on an adventure to Tamborine Mountain. A sumptuous morning tea was had at the “Fox and Hound”; an old English pub nestled amongst the foot hills of the mountain. It was then on to browse the many shops, galleries and fine eateries along “Gallery Walk”. Fortunately no one strayed and we were able to return 26 mothers safely back to their families. On Friday 18 November, Redeemer Mums hosted an end of year dinner at “Chin Chin” Chinese restaurant in Springwood. Theresa, and her husband (Redeemer parents), went out of their way to ensure everyone had a wonderful evening – and they did! It is so uplifting to hear the positive affirmations about Redeemer, and feel the buzz of all the “happy energy” in the room. The next day we hosted a welcome morning tea for approximately 140 new Prep parents. People had an opportunity to meet and talk to other Prep parents, and begin friendships that may last the 13 year journey and beyond. God Bless, and keep safe and well during the festive season and always.

Music Supporters 2011 has been a busy year, full of many musical events and successes. This year our group increased in size with a couple of new members, all of whom were warmly welcomed. We met regularly with the Music department staff to decide on the directions that needed to be taken. These dedicated staff are inspiring to our children and their leadership is appreciated, as is their hard work. Our year started with a concert and finished with a musical feast. In between were many events. In Semester 1, the college musical “Bugsy Malone” required us to provide afternoon tea for the students and staff on a weekly basis. This was an amazing experience for those of us who had not experienced this well oiled machine before. The musical is such a wonderful opportunity for the students! Semester 2 included a number of evenings showcasing different musical ages and groups. To see the growth in musical talent from the beginners to those in the music extension program is an amazing thing and something we are surely blessed to experience. Once again, we baked ourselves silly prior to the Redeemer Fair in readiness for “The Biscuit Barrel”. On behalf of the Music Supporters Group, I would like to thank Karen and Andrew Walker for the use of their facilities, organisation and personal time in preparation for this evening of baking. Without their guidance and support, we would not have been as successful in our fundraising event. Redeemer’s Music Supporters Group has continued to support the Music department with the purchase of plaques for the honour boards that were purchased by the 2009 Music Supporters Group. We also purchased a Baritone Saxophone which was greatly needed for the band program. These types of purchases would not be possible without the support of all the families and friends of the Music students. The small entrance fee charged for musical events goes back into supporting the Music program in the college. I would like to invite interested parents (especially those with students in the Junior and Middle School) who would like to support their child’s musical development, to join our group in 2012. What better way to show your child how much you value their education and how important it is to participate in college life, than to volunteer and support them in their growth. We thank the students and their families for their commitment to the program and pray that it will continue to grow and succeed in the future. Mrs Lesley Boshammer Secretary Rugby Supporters A great big thank you to all the parents, teachers and students who all worked together this year to make sure that Redeemer Rugby had another great year. Our Saturday morning barbecues were once again very successful in helping to raise much needed funds to assist in the purchase of Rugby equipment. Redeemer Rugby this year also hosted two very successful fundraising barbecues at the Underwood Bunnings store – another very big thankyou to all the parents and teachers involved. We congratulate Jordan Roberts from the Rugby First XV team who was selected in the Queensland Under 17 team (not school boys.) – Well done Jordan! This year the Rugby coaches / teachers/ Rugby committee have been working on building the involvement and skills of the younger year levels of Rugby, getting them ready for the future years. I think we will all see the benefit of this continuing hard work in the many years to follow. The college is also working on future Rugby tours for the boys, more news on this will follow in 2012! This year saw the change/storage sheds at Stolz Sportsfields receive a massive clean-up, repair and paint work – congratulations and thank you to all involved. More of the Rugby Supporters shirts/jerseys were purchased by parents new to our game. If you have missed out on one of these – please contact anyone from Rugby Supporters next year. Seeing all the parents at the games in Redeemer Rugby Supporters shirts really adds to the presentation and atmosphere for the boys on the paddock. On a personal note, I would like to thank all the parents and teachers that worked with me this year – I could not have done it without you. You have all made this year a thoroughly enjoyable one and I will miss the friendships very much. All the best to everyone involved in the future of Redeemer Rugby.
