CHRISTIAN STUDIES
Christian Studies is an important Key learning area at Redeemer Lutheran College, Biloela, and is taught and assessed at all year levels P-12. The Christian Studies Curriculum Framework (CSCF), developed by Lutheran Education Australia, is used to develop Christian Studies Inquiry units. One strand is the focus each term, but units can be developed across strands. As a College, we have allocated outcomes from CSCF to year levels as a scope and sequence to ensure that all outcomes are covered. These outcomes should be the core focus of units.

The prime aim is to lead students to know and love Jesus as their Saviour, to nurture their faith and encourage its expression.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION LESSONS

In the Senior Primary School this is a wonderful opportunity to play, and become familiar with, the more formal games like netball, cricket, soccer and basketball. Being arranged in clusters enables groups to be multi-age allowing students to mix with and get to know other students and teachers from different year levels.

DAILY FITNESS

In 2012 the whole school adopted “Play is the Way” as our daily fitness program. Play is the Way has a dual purpose of assisting the development of social skills and positive peer interaction. 20 minutes is spent three days a week.

INTERHOUSE COMPETITIONS

Redeemer Lutheran College, Biloela has two sports houses to which families are allocated – Acacia (gold) and Grevillea (red). The traditional Interhouse competitions are run for Cross Country, Athletics, and Swimming with the aim of 100% participation in Primary School and robust participation from Secondary School students.  

PORT CURTIS AND CAPRICORNIA SPORTS TRIALS

Students in years 5 onwards are also able to participate in Port Curtis Trials in many organised sports, Touch Football, Soccer, Rugby League, Netball, Swimming, Cross Country, and Athletics. If selected in Port Curtis teams students are eligible to go onto Capricornia Trials in which selection takes you to State Championships! We have enjoyed watching the increasing number of students from our school who are selected for these levels. Along with these formal elements, it is delightful to see how physically active our students are at each break playing handball, tennis, tiggy, soccer, cricket, and imaginary games in the exploration garden.

CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS’ LEAGUE

The Christian Schools League inter-school sporting competition is where students can look forward to an interschool carnival involving several sporting codes.  Redeemer Lutheran College Biloela participates alongside Trinity College Gladstone, Emerald Christian College, Kingsley College Rockhampton and Discovery Christian College Agnes Water regularly.

THE ARTS 

Teachers and students at Redeemer Lutheran College, Biloela engage in a variety of Music, Art and Speech and Drama. The College has several bands and choirs, which perform on special occasions. Concerts and other performances are held at times to give students the experience of performing on stage.
