St John’s Lutheran School was established in 1962 to provide a quality education for the people of Geelong in a Christian Family Environment. St John’s is a Christian school promoting lifelong learning in a nurturing environment. Staff, students and families are encouraged and assisted to realise their goals, helping them to be responsible, contributing members of the School, their Church and the wider community as we endeavour to encourage all students to reach their fullest potential spiritually, academically, emotionally, socially and physically. St John’s Lutheran School is centrally located to the Geelong CBD and delivers a dynamic, engaging and holistic curriculum catering for the developing needs of learners from Kindergarten to Year Six.
The staff are committed to providing engaging hands-on and enquiry based learning opportunities where students are given the opportunity to study their changing world and explore sustainable living within an urban community. Our dedicated staff nurtures each student to develop their talents and interests so that they may reach their full potential as valued and contributing citizens of the world.
Our special focus is on the whole child, especially the needs of individual students with an emphasis on the social/emotional, academic, physical and spiritual dimensions. We have a diverse student cohort and encourage student enrolment applications from a wide range of backgrounds.
We believe that it is very important that our students feel safe at school so that their learning opportunities can be at an optimal level. St John’s strives for high academic standards with a willingness to help all students to realise their potential and develop their interests.
Our outstanding staff are very committed to support our students and their ongoing development. Essential to our School is our relationship with God, in the context of the Gospel, where each student is valued and accepted as a child of God. Relationships are a very important part of our St John’s culture, so we use the Restorative Practice model in the management of our students’ behaviour.
We offer a range of activities: co-curricular including sport and music and extra-curricular including service learning and debating.
For a taste of St John’s Lutheran School, we encourage you to visit for a tour on Tuesday mornings during term time. I strongly recommend you visit us, to see our school in action, to meet members of our caring and dynamic school and experience for yourself this unique environment.
St John’s Lutheran School supports and promotes the principles and practice of Australian Democracy, including a commitment to: elected Government; the rule of law; equal rights for all before the law; freedom of religion; freedom of speech and association and the values of openness and tolerance.
As a Lutheran School, St John’s Lutheran School endeavours to achieve its Philosophy of Education through the following aims:
St John’s Lutheran School shares its vision with all Australian Lutheran schools. It is a vision based on God’s own self-revelation in the Bible, the inspired word of God and the trustworthy source of all Christian teaching. The school endeavours to set up and maintain a framework of Christian attitudes and relationships which will, by the power of the Holy Spirit, permeate and integrate its entire life and work and thereby help it to grow as a caring community.
The educational philosophy of the School is therefore based on the recognition that God is the giver of all truth and that the skills and attitudes of the students are being developed and used for the glory of God through service to one another. This encourages the development of a Christian worldview that equips students to live an authentic Christian life in the context of Australian society.
