Immanuel Primary School

Immanuel Primary is an Early Learning Centre – Year 6 Co-educational School of the Lutheran Church of Australia located on the same campus as Immanuel College. The programs and facilities offer students an exceptional range of options as they pursue the ELC to Year 12 educational journey.

We believe that what happens in the primary years both at home and at school creates the vital foundation upon which children’s lives are built. The analogy of strong foundations in all aspects of life, (spiritual, emotional, intellectual, social and physical) provides a very clear vision for teachers and parents alike.

The logo adopted is that of the Immanuel Campus. Immanuel means ‘God is with us’. The Cross represents our salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit sent to help us on our journey towards ‘Further Beyond’ (‘Plus Ultra’).

It is the mission of Immanuel Primary School: To be a supportive community where well-being is nurtured, innovative teaching empowers learners to take responsible action and the message of Jesus Christ is communicated and celebrated. Immanuel Primary School will strive to:

• Be Learning Centred: Creating an environment where students have a passion to explore, discover and analyse their individual interests and their world as part of an exciting life journey and to take positive action as part of their learning.
• Be Spirit Sensitive: Discerning the personal spirituality of students and listening to their inner search for meaning, open to the work of the Holy Spirit.
• Be Planet Conscious: Living on Earth as our fragile home, aware of a global consciousness and inter-connectedness.
• Have a Conscience: Active in the school community and alive to the social needs and injustices of our local and global communities.
• Have a Heart: Caring for the well-being of the students including their social, psychological and emotional challenges.
• Have a Heritage: Identifying and celebrating our local Australian origins, Lutheran heritage and our international connections with passion and pride.

• A high quality education, one which develops students talents and competencies to their personal best,
