REDEEMER RECORD | COLLEGE neWS | 72012 College LeadersAs the College Captains of 2012, we hope to show Christianleadership not only through our words, but through our actionsas role models to all in our school community. We believe thata student leader is someone who can take initiative in a varietyof situations, someone who has the courage to do what is rightand someone who cares about the school. We intend to notonly honour this, but uphold the school’s motto, ‘Our Hope is inChrist’. As leaders we want to inspire, motivate and bring the bestout of all our peers. In our roles we hope to guide the studentcohort towards an encouraging environment which applaudsteamwork, school pride and comradery. Proverbs 31:8-9 says:“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for therights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defendthe rights of the poor and needy.” It is our hope that we can speakup for those who need it and embrace our peers’ individuality,strengths and weaknesses. This year we hope to form relationshipswith the younger grades at lunch times. By doing this we canencourage Christian values to each sub-school. We aim to bringunity among each cohort by encouraging friendliness and apositive attitude towards each other. All of the student leaders for2012, the Music, Sport and House Captains, have the same goalto enhance the environment of Redeemer’s community and are allactively participating to achieve this goal. It is our aim that throughthese actions, we can promote the message of God and provide aSydney Cock and Tom MacElroy (College Captains), Peter Conomo and Kristy AnnaHampel (Deputies)strong example of Christian leadership to the school. We wish thestudents all the best in all their endeavours whether it be inside oroutside of school for the year ahead. We are looking forward to thechallenges of this year and pray that God will give us the guidanceto fulfil our duties as College Captains to the best of our abilities.Sydney Cock & Tom MacElroyCollege CaptainsPeter Conomo & Kristy Anna HampelDeputiesMedia Snippets … Redeemer in the newsBudding comedian loves to joshAlbert & Logan News, Wednesday 18 April 2012 (Page 17)Schools go to top of the class in rankingsWednesday 9 May 2012 (Page 20)Redeemer Lutheran College ranks as one of the region’s topperforming secondary schools in the Year 9 NAPLAN results.Redeemer Lutheran College was ranked at 616.45 points abovethe state average of 560.46 points.Lutheran College is among top achieversWednesday 9 May 2012 (Page 19)Redeemer Lutheran College at Rochedale has been rankedone of the top overall secondary schools in the Southern Stardistribution area according to Year 9 NAPLAN results.Rewarding the Class ClownThe Southern Star, Wednesday 18 April 2012 (Page 58)Congratulations to Joshua McKenzie (Year 10), who wasawarded Queensland State Finalist in the Class Clownscompetition as part of the Melbourne International ComedyFestival’s education and competition program for youngpeople.

Our Year 4 and Year 5 studentshad their year level camps at Bestbrook Mountain Resort andCamp Currimundi, respectively. Camps are organised for studentsin the Junior School in a variety of locations, focusing on differentskills to ultimately help provide the students with the necessarycompetencies to enjoy the Tuchekoi experience when they reachYear 9.The Prep Bible Presentation is an annual event that is an initiativeof Our Saviour Lutheran Church.

10 | MIDDLE school news | REDEEMER RECORDMiddle School News“Chemical composition of explosives is arelatively predictable thing … Kids aren’t.You can keep your job and I will keepmine.” These words of wisdom were partof a letter written to me recently by apast student who is currently serving asa combat engineer with the Australianforces in Afghanistan. His job is high riskresearch – locating and dealing with landmines and improvised explosive devices.His words made me stop and thinkabout the unpredictability of kids, and the truth, for me, is this.It is the very unpredictability of kids that makes teaching such achallenging and interesting career.Middle Schoolers are wonderfully and terrifyingly unpredictable,as their parents would attest. In the space of a day, or even ofan hour, they can say and do things that make their teachersfeel proud, enthused, frustrated, cross and proud again.Overwhelmingly, there are positives for which we are grateful.We see students making academic progress, developing theirsocial skills, growing in their Christian faith, making excellentcontributions to music ensembles and sporting or debatingteams, providing service to their school community.In 2012 Middle School has had a focus on Leadership. All Year7 students have participated in a full-day Leadership incursionfacilitated by Lutheran Youth of Queensland. Through games,team challenges, discussion and drawing, our students weremotivated to think about what leadership is, who we admire asleaders and what qualities we value in our role models. Somestudents were surprised to learn that they could be leaders andthey were awakened to the concept that there is no singularmodel of leadership. As well as recognising their own leadershipcapacities, they began to look for and appreciate the leadershipattributes of their peer group members.Throughout this year Middle School students have been invitedand encouraged to join the Leadership Group, a lunchtimeactivity that teaches young people about leadership, helps themto recognise their personal leadership potential and providesopportunities for them to show leadership in the Collegecontext. They are learning that it is not a matter of having atitle and wearing a badge, but of putting into practice realservant leadership.The Golden Tin Trophy has been fiercely contested by the three Year6 classes. An inter-class challenge, the students selected teams tocompete in three challenges held during separate lunch hours:• Relay Schmelay – carrying a relay baton while jumping ina sack, carrying an egg and spoon, dribbling a soccer ball,balancing a platter of plastic cups and sprinting for the finish line.• Operation Skilful Endurance – mega-team skipping andhandball challenges.• Undercover Art – design and execution of a coloured chalkpavement drawing representing the theme “The Culture ofthe Middle School”.The Year 6s had lots of fun competing in these events, supportingtheir teams and making their best efforts towards success. Thisseries of events also provided an excellent opportunity for theSenior School Cultural Committee students to interact positivelywith the younger students, as this event was organised by them.Year 8s are eagerly anticipating the August visit of Simon Higgins,the author of critically acclaimed historical novels set in Asia.Ahead of his visit, borrowings of his novels Moonshadow andTomodachi from the Middle School library have already increased.All things considered, the daily life of Middle School is busy,rich … and blessedly unpredictable.Mrs Judy PowellHead of Middle Schoolmiddle

REDEEMER RECORD | COLLEGE neWS | 17Japan Tour 2012It was an early, yet exciting start to our first day of holidays arrivingat the Gold Coast airport at 6.00am ready to fly to Cairns. Thenafter having our last taste of Australian food in Cairns, we boardedour long flight to Tokyo. When we finally landed in Tokyo thatsame day, we were all a little nervous as our Japan homestayfamilies were there waiting to take us home. However, being putstraight into a Japanese home was amazing, and a great experiencewe wished went for a much longer time. Japanese houses are verysmall and close together; they don’t have backyards and mosthouses don’t have space to park cars. They walk and catch the trainto travel places. We spoke as much Japanese as we could to ourfamilies and learnt a lot of new things:They have heated toilet seats, they bow a lot, they eat a lot and theyare very polite and kind people. It was hard to say goodbye, but goodto see everyone and speak some English again. We firstly headedto Kyoto by bullet train which they call the Shinkansen. Kyoto hadbeautiful Cherry blossom displays, castles and was also very cold!After Kyoto, we travelled to Hiroshima. We saw the remains ofthe Atomic Bomb and the Peace Memorial Museum, learning a lotmore about that tragic day for Japan. In Hiroshima we also visitedMiyajima Island where we took pictures in front of the famousRed Gate, saw deer everywhere and shopped and ate some greatfood in the street markets.After Hiroshima we caught busses, trains, the Shinkansen andwalked extremely far to a small place called Iga, the birthplaceof “ninja”. Surprisingly Iga had one of the nicest hotels withbeds. They also did have a great sushi train which had every kindof fish on sushi you could imagine. Tokyo had more beautifulEaster Egg GiftsOn Wednesday 28 March, a group of five Year 11 students fromthe Community Service Committee embarked on a journey toBethany Christian Aged Care. Our primary purpose of the daywas to hand out small Easter egg packages to the elderly as anEaster gift. We spoke to numerous residents that welcomed uswith open arms and did not hesitate to share their inspirationalstories and advice with us. One of the eldest residents, aged100, spoke to us of her gratitude for friends, family and otherpeople in the community that helped throughout her life. Shemade us realise how important appreciation is and how luckywe really are to be living in such a wonderful community. Thevisit reinforced that even a small amount of effort can go a longway and even a smile can brighten someone’s day.Cherry blossoms and lots of great markets for shopping. We wentto Tokyo Disneyland which was awesome, and had a subwaychallenge. The subway challenge was our four groups being givena subway route map, four places to visit and take a photo of andthen be back on time. It was hilarious running through the stationslike maniacs trying to beat each other to the finish line, and weall finished before our deadline. Our last day in Tokyo was just asbusy as the first, but sad that we were leaving such a great placethat we had grown so used to. Our homestay students met us atthe airport and said goodbye as we flew to Cairns and back to theGold Coast. I’ll never forget my time in Japan and definitely know Ihave made some special friends and hope to go back soon!Savina SimatovicYear 12Shave for a CureIn what has become almost a ‘rite of passage’, over 30 seniorboys participated by either shaving their heads and/or waxingtheir legs in support of the Leukaemia Foundation.
