In 1980 two sports Houses were set up, initially just Lavarack (red) and Mansfield (green). Some years later, Ramsay (yellow) and Wilson (purple) were added. Each new student is assigned to a House upon commencement at Redeemer. Any student who has or had another member of his or her family attending the school is allocated to the same House.
Redeemer’s Houses are named after Queensland born governors. Details are as follows:
