Senior School Classes From the Head of Senior School

“Students who are high in hope have greater academic success, stronger friendships, and demonstrate more creativity and better problem-solving. They also have lower levels of depression and anxiety”.

(greatergood.berkeley.edu)

As a community of hope, we invite students to trust in the Lord and His provision and to face life’s experiences and challenges with Hope. Redeemer’s motto Our Hope is in Christ reminds us of His ongoing presence in our daily lives. We embraced the theme of ‘Living Hope’ at Redeemer as we began the 2021 school year.

Hope sustained us as we endured more lockdowns and restrictions, including the Queensland Government direction for students and staff to wear masks at all times. We were much more adept at changing plans, postponing events and facing unpredictable circumstances in 2021, as 2020 prepared us well. Our students and staff pivoted seamlessly to online learning and grasped the opportunity to watch the Olympic Games in the afternoons.

The pages of this magazine celebrate our students striving to do their best in all aspects of College life. We celebrate the joys, the achievements and the memories that made 2021 a special year. Thank you to the Senior School staff for their commitment, professionalism and care for our students. We are truly blessed to work with such dedicated staff.

2021 has given us the opportunity to re-evaluate and consider the importance of our faith, our families and our community.

I pray that our current students and graduating class of 2021 continue to live in hope in their adult years and remember always that Our Hope is in Christ.

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” 1 PETER 1:3
