Junior School
Christian Dance
Redeemer Junior School offers a very
popular Christian Dance co-curricular
program. It is now in its fifth year and
attracts over 100 students. The teaching
is provided by Our Saviour volunteers: Lis
Stelzer (past parent) and Alison Glover
(past student and past teacher). They work
with Redeemer staff including Mrs Kathy
Stock, another member of both Church
and College. Students are extended by
the dance experience and learn to focus
their attention as worshippers. Dances are
finally shared with the whole Junior School
and at Sunday Worship four times a year.

Play Group
This year, Our Saviour’s playgroup moved
from the Prayer Chapel to the Multi-
Purpose Centre Auditorium, and the
bigger venue has been wonderful for the
expanding group. Tuesday mornings from
8.30am see mothers and children play,
read, sing, and share morning tea.
The playgroup has seen about 30 families
attending on a regular basis, including
several Redeemer Junior School families,
and our fabulous “playgroup Grandmas”,
who have lent a helping hand and wise
advice whenever asked. For a couple of
families, their contact with the playgroup
began when their children noticed the
toys set up in the MPC and asked to
come along!
The playgroup has benefited from the
support and cooperation of the Junior
School staff, Mrs Kelli McKeiver (Head
of Junior School) and Mr David Radke
(Principal). A number of former Redeemer
staff are also involved as parents and
helpers, and the children are already
benefiting from the positive relationship
between the college and the congregation.

OSSY
(Our Saviour Senior Youth)
OSSY is an action packed, always fun
activity-based youth group held at the
Redeemer Chapel each Friday night of term.
This year over one hundred Years 9-12
Redeemer students have attended OSSY
events, with highlights including ice skating
outings and trips to the movies, pool
parties, team challenges, a visit from 96.5
Family radio station and other outdoor
activities and games. OSSY is organised
by a team of 16 young adults from Our
Saviour Lutheran Church who make sure
every week is different, exciting and
relevant to high school students. Every
fortnight the youth leaders run small group
nights with challenging speakers, worship
music and bible study time. A core group
of about 30 students have been part of
OSSY small groups this year.
The OSSY leadership team endeavours
to create a welcoming and friendly
environment for all students who come
along and new-comers are always
welcome.
