Redeemer opened in 1980 and quickly developed an academic reputation. In 1999, Redeemer was the first school in Queensland to open a Middle School for students in Years 6, 7 and 8 to meet the particular social and educational needs of this age group.

Its alumni have made their way in the world in health, business, government, film, sport and community, with a Rhodes Scholar amongst the graduates and a long-serving State Minister.
