The Three E’s<br />

Excellence through Exploration,<br />

Experimentation and Expression<br />

Sirs Douglas Mawson and Edmond Hillary<br />

lived lives of excellence while exploring<br />

the furthest and highest ends of the earth.<br />

Dogged determination and persistence,<br />

while stepping out into the unknown<br />

resulted in their names being synonymous<br />

with exploration in Antarctica and Nepal.<br />

In the mid 1990’s, Oprah Winfrey chose to<br />

develop a talk show model that was<br />

different. She vowed to avoid the trashy<br />

and exploitive tabloid topics of the day.<br />

Her experiment paid off after an initial<br />

ratings fall and its popularity peaked the<br />

following decade when it was showing on<br />

212 TV stations across the United States<br />

and in 100 countries.<br />

Michael Jackson expressed himself<br />

through music and dance, Jane Austin<br />

through literature and Mother Teresa<br />

through missionary service. Their values,<br />

ideas, beliefs and passions were evident in<br />

what they invested in and produced.<br />

I wonder what elective subjects they chose<br />

in high school? Did they face doubts and<br />

challenges when selecting their<br />

preferences? Many students and parents<br />

over these last two weeks have been<br />

asking questions about subject choices in<br />

order to come to decisions. Some of the<br />

questions have been:<br />

I don’t know what I want to do when I<br />

leave school, so what do I choose?<br />

What subjects will give me the best OP?<br />

I only like two of the options, so what<br />

do I pick for my other preferences?<br />

Fear, doubt and uncertainty can make<br />

decision making very difficult. This is why<br />

we assist families with subject selection<br />

booklets and information nights. But,<br />

while these can help, it is the development<br />

of the right mindset that is the first key to<br />

success. The key is to focus on excellence<br />

while stepping out in faith.<br />

We do not know the future and what<br />

every step is that we need to take, hence<br />

the need for faith. Both in the spiritual<br />

and natural, when we step out and “have<br />

a go”, it is then that we will experience<br />

success. I encourage all students who are<br />

faced with difficult subject decisions to<br />

have an attitude of faith and excellence<br />

and look at their studies as a way to:<br />

Explore new subjects and worlds.<br />

The Humanities and Sciences stimulate<br />

the enquiring mind.<br />

Experiment with your gifts and talents.<br />

Successful people have a variety of skills<br />

and abilities that needed to be<br />

discovered and nurtured when they<br />

were younger. These may not have been<br />

evident at the time, but through a wide<br />

range of life experiences they are<br />

discovered and developed.<br />

Express yourself. So many subjects are<br />

opportunities for written expression and<br />

physical expression (The Arts, Physical<br />

Education and Technology). Show the<br />

world who you are.<br />

So students, strive for excellence by<br />

engaging in a journey of discovery and<br />

application. Don’t seek to achieve success<br />

by carefully filling in each space of some<br />

mythical colour-by-numbers life journey<br />

painting. Rather, paint like Pro Hart,<br />

dance like Mick Jagger and sing at the top<br />

of your voice in the shower of life.<br />

Jeans for Genes Day<br />

Thursday 8 August 2013<br />

This event is being organised by the<br />

Student Council. The money collected will<br />

be donated to: Jeans for Genes and other<br />

student selected charities.<br />

The Student Council would like students<br />

to observe the following guidelines<br />

regarding their attire:<br />

students are to wear long jeans;<br />

dresses, skirts, shorts; leggings or<br />

jeggings are not permitted;<br />

no singlets or strapless styles;<br />

no revealing clothing eg. no bare<br />

midriffs, no plunging necklines, no bare<br />

backs;<br />

no thong style footwear;<br />

PE uniform must be worn for PE<br />

including appropriate, regulation<br />

footwear and caps;<br />

safety considerations will still apply eg.<br />

enclosed leather shoes in the Industrial<br />

Technology, Science and Home<br />

Economics areas;<br />

no inappropriate messages/symbols/<br />

advertising on shirts, hats and other<br />

items of clothing eg. a Fourex t-shirt is<br />

inappropriate;<br />

clothing should not have holes or rips<br />

and should be clean;<br />

extremes in clothing and hair styles are<br />

to be avoided;<br />

no make up permitted;<br />

expensive items such as jewellery, brand<br />

name accessories such as jackets which<br />

may be removed as the day warms up<br />

should not be worn to school as the<br />

school cannot guarantee the safety of<br />

these items;<br />

a hat must be worn while outside.<br />

We ask students to approach the day in a<br />

responsible way by wearing neat, clean<br />

clothing that is in keeping with college<br />

expectations. Students who are unable to<br />

meet the expectations will either be<br />

withdrawn from classes for the day or<br />

asked to go home.<br />

A gold coin will be collected during Home<br />

Group on Friday for those who choose to<br />

wear plain clothes. It would be<br />

appreciated if the students had a gold<br />

coin rather than a note, as the Home<br />

Group teacher may not have change.<br />

Year 7 <strong>Visit</strong>or<br />

Our college community is very fortunate<br />

to have parents who are willing to share<br />

their expertise in a variety of areas. On<br />

Monday 22 July, all of the Year 7 classes<br />

were visited by Mrs Janine Hurley (parent<br />

of Connor and Bianca), who works as a<br />

Hansard reporter for the Queensland<br />

Parliament. Her willingness to tell the<br />

students about her role certainly<br />

supported the Civics unit that the Year 7<br />

students have been studying in<br />

preparation for their trip to Canberra.<br />

Students were impressed with her speedy<br />

typing and her explanation about the<br />

importance of recording parliamentary<br />

proceedings.<br />

Year 7 Canberra Tour<br />

<strong>Redeemer</strong>’s Year 7 students are currently<br />

visiting Canberra this week, learning about<br />

Australia’s capital city.<br />

In support of the Year 7 Civics studies unit<br />

the students will visit such important<br />

venues as: Parliament House, Old<br />

Parliament House, The Australian War<br />

The Life Ed Van<br />

From 19 to 29 July, students across the Junior School visited the Life Ed<br />

Van and Harold the talking Giraffe. Harold taught the students about<br />

friendships, feelings, helping others, good health and nutrition.<br />

“I liked Harold the giraffe because he is funny and taught us lots of cool<br />

stuff, like safety is first.”<br />

Thomas White 2KH<br />

“The Life Ed Van was great. We learned about how our body works and<br />

I loved the interactive bus ride with Harold.”<br />

Aarya Wijemanne 2KH<br />

“I really liked pretending to be on a really big slide with my class mates.<br />

We all learned to encourage each other to be brave.”<br />

Ava Killian 2AL<br />

“I learned that we need to eat healthy because everything we eat goes<br />

through our blood.”<br />

Nathan Lau 2AL<br />

“I really loved watching the interactive show and completing puzzles<br />

which taught us about safety. Now I will know what to do when<br />

someone is in danger.”<br />

Jasmin Wu 2AG<br />

“I really enjoyed going on the imaginary bus ride. I learned a lot about<br />

body parts and digestion from ‘Doctor Amazing Crethary.”<br />

Sanjai Hewton 2AG<br />

“I learned about the different food groups. We looked at what foods<br />

are healthy to eat and what are the foods we shouldn’t eat all the<br />

time.”<br />

Sophie Garbutt 3HW<br />

“I learned about different ways to keep our school and home safe from<br />

pollution and dangerous things.”<br />

Cade Linde 3HW<br />

“My favourite part of the Life Ed Van was when we learned what your<br />

gluteus maximus is (your bottom)! The Life Ed Van has a great<br />

educational website for kids that teaches the important things in life. It<br />

does not only teach you the facts of life, it is quite funny too. I can’t<br />

believe the Life Ed Van goes around teaching people awesome facts!”<br />

Primary School Debating Competition<br />

This year <strong>Redeemer</strong> has not entered Year 6 and 7 teams in the<br />

Queensland Debating Union Junior Competition. Instead, we have<br />

organised a local debating competition. Our students in Years 6<br />

and 7 are competing instead against three local primary schools –<br />

St Peters, MacGregor and Rochedale.<br />

Last week a preliminary round was held, only involving teams in<br />

each school. Parents have already commented on the advantages<br />

of this new competition. All debates are held at <strong>Redeemer</strong>, with<br />

the Year 6 teams starting at 4.30pm and the Year7 teams starting<br />

at 5.30pm. Instead of needing to travel to inner city schools,<br />

where parking facilities are limited, there is ample parking at our<br />

<strong>College</strong>. Instead of debates starting at 7.00pm, they are now all<br />

completed by 6.30pm.<br />

Inter-school debates will occur at <strong>Redeemer</strong> on Wednesday<br />

21 August, Wednesday 11 September and Thursday 24 October.<br />

Families are most welcome to attend these debates.<br />

Artist in Residence 2013<br />

<strong>Redeemer</strong> Art Department started Term 3 with the fantastic<br />

experience of having ceramic sculpture artist, Ruth Park, as guest<br />

artist in residence for the week, 9-12 July. Ruth Park, from the<br />

Northern Rivers District of NSW, near Lismore, is a renowned<br />

artist both nationally and internationally.<br />

The Year 11 Visual Art class experienced a full day workshop on<br />

the Wednesday, with the construction of a life-size human bust,<br />

paying attention to accurate human proportions and features.<br />

This year’s cohort produced a range of genuine “characters”, all<br />

with distinctive features and personalities.<br />

Ruth worked with the Year 9 Visual Art class to produce large,<br />

free-standing Gremlin heads. In a whole day workshop on the<br />

Thursday the Year 9’s created amazing fantasy characters.<br />

In addition to taking practical classes throughout each day, Ruth<br />

also worked on her own art piece over the week. This year Ruth<br />

demonstrated and constructed wheel-thrown pots. She also<br />

demonstrated many finishing effects. As it was only a four day<br />

week, Ruth stayed until 5.00pm on the Friday for any students<br />

who wished to have some extra tuition time.<br />

Both Art staff and Art students appreciated Ruth’s talented<br />

expertise and her friendly and cheerful delivery. The workshops<br />

proved to be truly fruitful, fun and enriching for all involved,<br />

with students creating more imaginative and quality work than<br />

ever before.<br />

Image of God<br />

I highly value keeping up to speed with current affairs, so<br />

watching the news or reading stuff on my BBC app are daily<br />

activities. Some days, however, I wonder why I bother!<br />

Watching the news can be a terribly depressing experience.<br />

There are days when it seems that humanity is just going to the<br />

dogs!! One bad news story follows another – internationally,<br />

nationally, or locally. I’m well aware, of course, that the current<br />

affairs we hear about are whatever the media wants to focus<br />

attention on, and that the more dramatic and terrible a news<br />

item is, the more attention it will get. There are moments when<br />

I honestly wonder how on earth humanity has made it this far!<br />

Sometimes good things are reported in the media as well, but<br />

there seem to be many days when my faith in humanity is<br />

almost lost, only to be picked up again by a simple act of<br />

kindness I might witness in my own neighbourhood. Not newsworthy<br />

stuff, but just a little bit of something which restores<br />

my faith in humanity, and that all is not lost. Sometimes a little<br />

introspection is in order, and before I start to ponder the state<br />

of humanity by what I see “out there”, it’s best to take a look<br />

inside and see what’s happening “in there”. And truthfully, the<br />

same good and evil, the same good news/bad news stories play<br />

out in my own soul.<br />

One biblical concept that has fascinated me for a long time is<br />

the ‘imago dei’, the image of God. From the very first chapter<br />

of the Bible, it is clear that this is what separates us as a species.<br />

We alone endlessly research to better understand our world,<br />

we alone wrestle with the ethical life, and we alone ponder<br />

whether there is any meaning to any of this. Although the<br />

definition of this concept could be nuanced in a myriad of<br />

ways, a simple working definition here can be that we reflect<br />

God’s living presence in the world. Even a simple observation of<br />

the world shows us that the human being occupies a god-like<br />

status. An equally simple observation is that, if we are god-like,<br />

then we don’t do a very good job of it.<br />

As bearers of God’s image, we possess all kinds of abilities. But<br />

we are confronted with a choice. How we use the image of God<br />

within us, like it or not, up to us. We can put our abilities to<br />

good use, or we can put them to bad use. I can use my ability to<br />

speak to build people up, or to cut them down. One thing I<br />

don’t have a choice about is that the war will wage within me<br />

(in classical theological terms, I’m a sinner whether I like it or<br />

not, and I don’t have a choice not to be one). But here’s the<br />

thing. I also know that I’m not judged by God for that, because<br />

Jesus has removed that fear. What’s left is that we are all<br />

confronted with a choice. What do we do with the image of<br />

God within us?<br />
