St Paul's Lutheran Primary School

Our school was established to provide a high quality education within a safe and caring Christian environment. It has been my privilege to be part of this wonderful learning community for the past 10 years.

At St Paul's, there is a feeling that we are all part of an extended family. Our teachers, parents and students work together to make that feeling of belonging a reality. We hope that you, through your personal interest, involvement and cooperation with us, will come to feel very much part of our school community.

Each student is treated as an individual and all are encouraged to grow spiritually, emotionally, academically, socially, and physically in a caring and supportive environment. This only comes about when we all join together as a community with positive aims and purposes in mind.

St Paul's is a dynamic, innovative and future-focused school where students are supported by highly dedicated staff within a positive and safe learning environment. We provide a very contemporary learning environment where our aim is not to teach but to encourage students' to learn.

Every day is an Open Day at St Paul's, so come and see why we have been nominated by the Australian Education Awards, as a finalist in the Primary School of the Year category for the past 2 years.

St Paul's Lutheran Primary School equips our community of learners with a Christian world view for living through sharing the love of Jesus. Our inclusive community provides a quality future-focused education in an ever-changing world, encourages and inspires a love of active lifelong learning.

St Paul's is a Christian school which strives to operate within a Christian values framework. This is evident in the caring way staff meet the educational needs of students and at times, reach out and support families in need. We have embedded into our teaching program a Whole School Values Plan. This Plan focuses cyclically through the year on the following values:

• Love
• Forgiveness
• Compassion
• Justice
• Humility
• Appreciation
• Service
• Hope
• Courage
• Quality

Christ is the model on whom our values are based and we take comfort in knowing that when we fall short, He forgives us. This free forgiveness is referred to as God's Grace and is a key doctrine of the Lutheran Church and its schools.
