8 | senior school news | REDEEMER RECORD Personal Development and Leadership The Tuchekoi experience has provided the Year 9 students with a challenging four week experience in lush surrounds. Students engaged in activities such as mountain bike riding, high ropes, rock climbing and hikes. These activities provided opportunities for students to develop their leadership skills and to encourage their peers in their quest for success. The blog site was a highlight for the school community as each day we were kept up to date with a Tuchekoi report from students. At the end of the year, a special morning was organised for Year 9 students to reflect on the Tuchekoi experience. This experience allowed the 9.2 and 9.5 Tuchekoi groups to reconnect with their friends and share their experiences. The Year 11 students participated in Leadership Day in Term 4 which aimed at developing their leadership skills and preparing them for their role as Senior School students in 2012. The students were motivated by guest speaker, Jack Sinclair, who has achieved amazing things in his short life and has helped many charity organisations in the process. In February 2012, the Year 11 students will attend a leadership camp at Luther Heights, Coolum. The camp will run for three days/two nights and students will be engaged in activities aimed at enhancing personal development, relationship building and leadership skills. We continue to build on the leadership opportunities offered to students in the Senior School and look forward to the leadership of the Year 12 students of 2012.

REDEEMER RECORD | senior school news | 9 Camp Tuchekoi Redeemer’s Year 9.3 students marked a significant turning point in Redeemer’s history as our first group of students to visit Camp Tuchekoi part of our Year 9 Outdoor Education program. Camp Tuchekoi is located in a rural setting on the edge of the Mary River Valley and Noosa Hinterland, just near Gympie. The picturesque location is just one of the many benefits the program. As in the past, the Outdoor Education Program promotes a “back to basics” type lifestyle, where students are responsible for helping with chores and tasks around Camp Tuchekoi. These include looking after animals, cooking for the group on a rostered basis, and doing their own (hand) washing. Throughout the four week program, students have the opportunity to learn outside of the classroom and experience a lifestyle which may be quite different from what they are used to. It is hoped that through the program, students will gain a better understanding of themselves, as well as growing their appreciation for friends and family. Students are involved in a wide range of activities while at Tuchekoi, which include morning fitness, mountain bike riding, abseiling, rock climbing, navigation skills, canoeing and hiking. Follow the Tuchekoi journey of our Year 9 students with the Tuchekoi Blog. redeemerlutherancollege.wordpress.com “Camp Tuchekoi was great because it was an amazing experience. All the instructors were awesome - they were nice, helpful, and just good to talk to. They teach you a lot of new things that you would not know, like mountain biking, rock climbing, abseiling, canoeing and hiking. You learn to cook your own food and put up your own tents. When you do your two day or four day hikes, the instructors teach you how to be a leader and how to navigate. My time at Camp Tuchekoi was unreal. There is no word to describe how great it was!” Ryan Hull (9.3) “Tuchekoi, where do I start? Hiking, canoeing, camping, rock climbing, mountain bike riding? I don’t know. But what I do know is everything was spectacular: the landscapes, the activities, the leaders, everything, it was absolutely spectacular. Personally, I learnt heaps about teamwork, friendship, pushing through hard things and something about laziness (I think I forgot about that one). But I’ll tell you something I didn’t forget, something I can never forget, the experience. I’ve had the time of my life, and I think I can speak for everyone else in saying that. Everyone had their strengths and their weaknesses, but I will never forget that feeling I had when I came out at the end. Tuchekoi has been the best thing for me, and I think, it was brilliant!” Josh Moore (9.3)
