OUR COLLEGE

About Us

Redeemer Lutheran College, Biloela, is located in the Callide Valley, a rural and mining community. The College was established by the Redeemer Lutheran Congregation in 1978. In 2009 it became a school of the Queensland District. In 2012 the school received approval to change its attribute and provide secondary education. In 2014 the middle school campus and program began with Year 7 and 8 and grew each year afterwards adding Year 9 in 2015 and Year 10 in 2016.  Senior Secondary began in 2019 with Year 11 and Year 12 added in 2020.

Redeemer is a single stream co-educational facility, Preparatory to Year Twelve and has an enrolment of more than 300 students. 

OUR COMMITMENT TO CHILD SAFETY AND WELLBEING

Our Commitment to Child Safety and Wellbeing 

At Redeemer Lutheran College, the safety and wellbeing of every child and young person in our care is our highest priority. We are committed to creating and maintaining a nurturing, respectful, and secure environment where all students feel safe, valued, and empowered. 

We have zero tolerance for child abuse and harm in any form. Every member of our community, staff, volunteers, parents, and visitors, share a collective responsibility to uphold this commitment and to always act in the best interests of children. 

To support this, we ensure that: 

  • All staff and regular volunteers are trained annually in Child Protection. 

  • All staff maintain current First Aid and CPR certification, ensuring they are equipped to respond with care to emergencies. 

  • We actively engage students in conversations about their safety and wellbeing, encouraging them to speak up and be heard. 

  • We have clear and accessible policies and procedures in place, including: 

    • Child Protection Policy 
    • Complaints Handling Procedure and Policy 
    • Child Risk Management Framework 
    • Staff and Parent/Volunteer Code of Conduct 

These documents are available here on our college website and are regularly reviewed to ensure they reflect best practice and current legislation. 

We are committed to listening to children, respecting their voices, and empowering them to be active participants in their own safety. Through education, open communication, and a culture of care, we strive to ensure that every child at Redeemer feels safe, supported, and confident. 

Together, we can build a community where children thrive. 

OUR COMMITMENT TO CULTURAL SAFETY

We are committed to ensuring the cultural safety and inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people. 

We acknowledge the Gangalu people as the traditional custodians of the land on which our College stands. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognise their deep and ongoing connection to land, waters, culture, and community. 

We are dedicated to creating a school environment where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students feel respected, valued, and safe to express their cultural identity. We celebrate the richness of First Nations cultures and are committed to listening, learning, and walking alongside our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities. 

This is an ongoing journey, and we welcome the voices of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families in shaping our practices, policies, and community life.
