Staff and students currently utilise a variety of ICTs to enhance teaching and learning (Smart Boards, Blogs, Padlet, Turnitin, iPads, eBooks etc). In 2014 we will be providing a new Learning Management System (LMS) to further enhance the educational experience and outcomes at Redeemer. The product that has been selected is called My Big Campus (MBC) and it will provide teachers, students and parents the ability to embrace Web 2.0 technologies in the classroom and at home. There are many benefits and features that an LMS such as My Big Campus provides and while not all of these will be utilised immediately, it does offer the following.

Teachers and Students will: • Have access to excellent teacher developed and shared resources in its Resource Library. • Have the ability to deliver content (documents, media, links etc) at any time though this web-based platform. • Have a better way of accessing educational videos on YouTube. Teachers can enter YouTube links to the resource library, but the additional links, peripheral images, comments and ads are stripped away. • Have a safe and secure online extension of the classroom that’s designed specifically for educational purposes. • Be able to engage in collaborative learning through groups, wiki pages, discussions, blogs, closed messaging and more. • Extend class discussions online so even the quietest students may participate. • Have access to cloud file storage.

Parents will: • Have access to information and an insight into their student’s learning journey. • Assignment task sheets and due dates will be readily available. • Homework will be posted on MBC so you never have to again ask “Do you have any homework?” • Be able to see examples of your child’s work online.

We’ll be using My Big Campus in a variety of ways to teach students about internet safety, digital citizenship and online communication skills.

Redeemer’s Race around the Ekka

On Tuesday 13 August, 11 Year 12 Film and Television students, participated in Race around the Ekka. Race around the Ekka is an annual film competition run by the RNA and supported by Energex. Teams have 24 hours to make a 30 second advertisement for the Ekka. The creative brief this year was to include “Get your buzz from the Ekka, not from Electricity.” Redeemer entered two teams. The first team was Alana Gibson, Emma Velthius, Rebekah Pollock, Nicola Myatt and Nicola Kelly. The second team was Kate Lawson, Ned Bowden, Alex Groves, Tonia Wright, Natalia Didovich and Curtus Vidulich. After a safety brief, the teams split up to literally race around the Ekka and hunt around for the perfect shots. They bought dagwood dogs, strawberry sundaes, went on rides, played with cows and fought through crowds to capture the best of the Ekka. After a stressful day of editing on the public holiday, both teams finished in time to submit our entries. Both had produced amazing productions, especially for the limited amount of time they had!

Christian Dance Carols by Candlelight

Junior School students from Prep to Year 5 have again enjoyed being Sunday 15 December 2013 on the Chapel Green involved in this activity in 2013. Each term student year level groups were able to come together each Monday to learn several dances and then present these as part of worship in a Junior School Chapel worship time and a Sunday Children’s Service with the congregation at Our Saviour Lutheran Church. The year level groups involved changed each term enabling many students to have the opportunity to participate in Christian Dance within the year. In Term 4, the Year 1 and 2 Christian Dance group had the special privilege of presenting the Christmas Medley dance at the end of year Junior School Celebration Ceremony as well as the “Men in White” kid’s Christmas Service at Our Saviour on Sunday 1 December. Christian Dance continues to be well supported and encouraged in the Junior School and we thank parents, the college and church community for their support of this activity. “O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!” Psalm 8:9 Mrs Kathy Stock Christian Dance Coordinator Playgroup Graduation
