Peace Lutheran College is recognized for its vision to be "at the forefront of innovative education" and is known for its culture of inclusiveness, where everybody is somebody. A Prep to Year 12 Christian, co-educational day and boarding school, our student body is one of diversity, embodying community, and for this reason is affectionately referred to as 'Peace' by its College families and local community. Peace Lutheran College?
Developing the whole person is at the heart of what we do at Peace, ensuring our College is a place where everyone feels valued; a place where everybody is somebody. We cater for a diverse range of students from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. Our boarding facilities allow us to serve students from a wide area of North Queensland, Torres Strait, South East Asia, as well as families from further afield. Our College staff are committed to encouraging wellbeing and the pursuit of success; academic or otherwise, and to developing young men and women of character in a Christian community.
Our mission is to develop informed, active, resilient and compassionate citizens within a Christian community. Our Christian ethos informs relationships between staff and students and shapes the whole College environment, providing a safe and secure atmosphere in which students can learn effectively. Our core values - mutual respect; personal responsibility; acceptance of difference; consideration; forgiveness; and reconciliation. Individuals matter. Whilst practicing our core values, students are allowed, and encouraged, to develop their individuality within appropriate bounds.
The College aims to offer a broad and integrated program in a Christian context. Whilst using government curriculum frameworks and meeting all accreditation requirements, in broader terms, we see education as much more than just an academic endeavour - Peace Lutheran College seeks to develop students intellectually, socially, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
The Lutheran Church believes, through faith, a person is brought into a living relationship with Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit establishes this grace relationship of love and forgiveness through God’s Word.
The Lutheran Church is a mainstream Christian church which was established in northern Europe at the time of the Reformation in the 16th century.
The influence of Christian worship and prayer is critical to our College and it extends throughout our operations. We don’t just talk about our Christian foundation; we act on it. We seek to treat each other with love and respect because we believe each person is important to God.
Through membership of our community, students and their parents can expect to find themselves sharing in the message of the Christian gospel in worship services and in the daily life of the school community. We understand and accept some may respond to the Christian message in a variety of ways, not always in traditional Christian ways, and we respect and encourage that right.
While we understand and accept that not all will share our Christian faith, we expect our students and their parents to support and show respect for our Christian beliefs and practices. We believe our parents and guardians have the prime responsibility for the education of their children and we encourage their involvement in our College life, seeking to always work in respectful partnerships with all.
