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