Redeemer’s Got Talent
On Wednesday 24 August, the Senior School Cultural Committee
held its annual “Redeemer’s Got Talent”. The show features
students demonstrating a variety of performance-based talents
and abilities, in some cases for the first time before an audience
of their peers.
Now in its third year, RGT has become a significant part of
the College calendar. This was reflected in a very full list
of students performing before a capacity audience in the
Kleinschmidt Auditorium.
In their closing remarks, the judges noted the significant depth
of talent evident in the College, and warmly congratulated each
performer for their courage and ability. Michael Boulus was
awarded the Judges’ Choice award for his stunning rendition
of “Twenty Good Reasons”, while Paige Danby took a hotly
contested Audience’s Choice and The Band, made up of Nic
Hoopmann, Zach Schofield, Jeevan Soares and Cameron Walker,
earned the Cultural Committee’s Choice.
The Cultural Committee wishes to thank all students and staff for
their contribution to another successful RGT. We look forward
with interest to the 2012 season.
Have a Seat
at Redeemer!
Visitors to Redeemer Fair on 22 October would have noticed a
shiny brand new grandstand which was set up outside of the new
undercover Redeemer Chapel Hub area.
We are thankful to a Redeemer family business that has
generously donated six of these grandstands to the college.
Two of these grandstands have been placed at Stolz Sportsfields,
with the other four placed around the two ovals of our main
college campus (Scurr Oval and Fred Davey Oval).
As an opportunity for other parents to get involved, parents and
friends of the college are able to purchase a seat for just $50
each. In recognition, a plaque will be placed on the seat with
either your family name, or the name of your child and the years
they are attending the college. For further information, contact
the Business Office on 3340 8888 to book your seat!
