Class of 2009 Excels
Redeemer Lutheran College is extremely proud of the OP
(overall position) results received by the class of 2009 late last
year. These results not only reflect the hard work of the students
but are also a testament to the school’s policy of encouraging
students to undertake a program of learning that best suits each
individual. The professionalism of the staff, who focus on high
academic standards while developing the whole person, and
commitment of the QCS preparation team were key ingredients
in the success of the class of 2009.
Ultimately, however, academic success occurs when individual
students utilise all resources on offer and strive to achieve to
their full potential. It is safe to say that the class of 2009 did this,
deservedly producing some of the best exit results the College
has ever seen. As the figures below show, not only did we
achieve a high number of OP1 scores, but excellent results were
attained across the entire year group. These fantastic results
follow on from the class of 2008’s outstanding performance –
further evidence of the College’s commitment to a range of
educational pathways tailored to suit the individual and the
support structures in place that guide each student during their
time at Redeemer.
Congratulations to the class of 2009 on their outstanding OP
results. This diverse group of students are an excellent example
for our current cohort, showing what commitment and a good
work ethic can achieve. As a community we should celebrate
and thank the teachers whose dedication and care have been
important elements in our students’ success. We are very proud
of the class of 2009. Well done!
