As a Lutheran School, Peace Lutheran Primary School teaches Christian beliefs and values. Our aim is for every student to gain an understanding of God’s love for them.  Staff ensure students are given every opportunity to develop to the best of their ability by identifying individual needs and planning according to these needs.  While the development of Literacy and Numeracy skills is a focus, students are also given opportunities to develop physically, socially and spiritually.

Classroom teachers work closely with specialists in Music and HPE and are supported by experienced teacher assistants and Learning support staff.  Peace is an innovative and progressive school in which staff are supported in their own learning while students are taught the skills needed to become lifelong learners. At Peace we believe we work in partnership with parents as we support each other. We value the communication we have with families and the support given to the school by the very active Parents and Friends Committee.

Peace Lutheran Primary School is an independent co-educational school operating under the banner of Lutheran Education Australia. Peace has been serving the local community since it was established in 1982. The school was established by the Peace Lutheran Congregation to provide a quality Christian education to the children of its members and the local community and continues to be owned and operated by the congregation. Peace Lutheran School is one of over 80 Lutheran Schools across Australia, working co-operatively with other Queensland Lutheran schools and supported by staff at head office in Milton, Brisbane. The school is funded from Commonwealth and State Government grants, school fees and fund-raising.

Peace Lutheran School, as a member of Lutheran Education Australia, seeks to express the Christian foundations by placing Jesus’ love and forgiveness at the centre of all that happens within the daily life of the school. In its weekly worship program the school thanks God for His goodness and for the community of the school. Devotions are held daily in classrooms. Christian Studies, directly linked to the ethos of the school, is taught as a Key Learning Area.

A Christ centred community nurturing and inspiring children’s hearts and minds – Peace strives to achieve academic excellence in a quality educational setting that recognises and values children’s individuality. We believe:

  • the Bible is the supreme authority for Christian faith and life
  • each person is a unique creation of God;
  • we should achieve the best we can;
  • learning is a developmental process
  • the building of relationships is central to effective teaching and learning;
  • serving others is the best way to show our appreciation of God’s love and
  • the Holy Spirit leads students, staff, parents and the wider community to strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ and find meaning in their lives.

Shared Understanding: We believe that all learners must be valued and respected. They deserve encouragement and need to experience success. We recognize that they learn in different ways and that they can accept more responsibility for their learning and more independence as they grow older.Our students need to be taught how to learn, reflect, think deeply, organise themselves and manage time. We know that children learn best when:

  • the learning environment is safe, supportive and sets high expectations;
  • individual needs are met;
  • they have a shared understanding of expectations;
  • new units of work build on previous knowledge and understanding;
  • they are appropriately challenged;
  • they engage in authentic and relevant real-life tasks;
  • diversity is celebrated and reflection is actively encouraged:
  • learning is driven by curiosity and there is the freedom to explore, ask questions and take risks
  • learning involves active partnerships with parents, peers, teachers and members of the Church and the wider community.
