Redeemer Lutheran College

Redeemer Lutheran College Redeemer Lutheran College is a co-educational Christian College for Prep to Year 12 students, located at Rochedale, on Brisbane's southside.

Redeemer Lutheran College (RLC) is located on the border of Brisbane and Logan Cities in a semi-rural setting with leafy, landscaped grounds that provide a beautiful, peaceful and engaging environment for our community. With a Prep to Year 12 enrolment of approximately 1,000 students, the College is notable for its use of open spaces. Redeemer is a co-educational Christian school, owned and operated by the Lutheran Church of Australia, Queensland District. All teaching, learning and activities take place in the context of the Christian faith as understood and taught by the Lutheran Church of Australia. Our faith provides the foundations for our standards and values and is explored through daily worship and Christian Studies, a compulsory subject in Prep to Year 12. Redeemer Lutheran College is a high achieving school, with most Senior School leavers scoring strongly in the ATAR ranking. In 2020, at least 10% of our students achieved an ATAR of 95 or higher. 25% of our students received a tertiary offer before ATARs were released and over 90% of students received a tertiary offer, with most of these receiving direct entry into their first choice. While the majority of school-leavers proceed directly to university studies, vocational pathways are also supported through TAFE studies and traineeships offered in the senior years. Redeemer Lutheran College is an exceptional community for students, for families and for teachers. Through our approach to excellence in teaching and learning, our extensive co-curricular offerings and our heart for community service, we seek to inspire students to be curious about their learning, be courageous and innovative in meeting challenges, and Christ-led in their relationships.

ZOO LIFE ART DRAWINGS | Special guests Maggie the Koala, Jeff the Shingleback Lizard and Luna the Desert Python made an appearance last Term in our Year 7 Visual Art classes for some personalised portraits!

These art incursions involved real wildlife in the classroom provided by HQ Wildlife, all who were eager to strike a pose. Students had the opportunity to study their features up close as they created their life drawing pieces, which focus on capturing anatomy, proportions, and expression from observation rather than from photos or imagination.

The drawings completed during these sessions will lead directly into their Term 4 Painting on Canvas assessment task. We are looking forward to the resolved paintings!

ANNOUNCING OUR NEXT COLLEGE MUSICAL | Get ready for the Tony Award winning Super Soul Musical in 2027: The Wiz! This stage production is a musical retelling of L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" that is filled to the brim with wicked amounts of soul, funk, and gospel-infused music inspired by African-American culture.

Our Redeemer community will be invited to join familiar faces such as Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion for a joy-filled adventure that celebrates family love and community resilience. Work on this student production will commence in Term 4 of this year, with auditions for current Year 6-11 students occurring in Weeks 3 and 4.

In the mean time, keep your eyes on our socials for more information on the production as we head into the new year!

CAN YOU BEAT THE CHASER? | During Term 3 our Senior School students have been competing in various lead-in rounds of the Elevate Interhouse Chaser competition. The top performers from each year level per house were selected to compete in the Elevate Chaser Finals event, with all four house teams taking on this year's Chaser: 2025 Mansfield House Captain Andy!

All four houses had both their house mascots and Junior School fans to cheer them on during the heated rounds of questions. Lavarack House took a strong and early lead and used their confidence to challenge the Chaser by choosing the high bet with more steps to race them home. After some nail-biting moments, they were victorious in making it back home before the Chaser could catch them - securing Lavarack House as the winner of the Elevate Interhouse Chaser competition!

Congratulations Lavarack and all our participants, as well as our extremely smart Junior School students who also got involved in general trivia questions between the rounds.

- Mrs Johansen, Head of Elevate
