Tarrington Lutheran School

Tarrington Lutheran School is a small, vibrant school in the Western Districts of Victoria, where quality teaching and learning is enhanced by the family atmosphere, created by a caring community.

The School nestled in a rural atmosphere, has a history of caring and sharing, celebrating 162 years of continuous education in 2015. Students learn in an ideal environment – a rural atmosphere with well developed grounds and facilities. Our school’s delightful setting assists students experience the joys of learning, while they build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Our high quality Christian education is an education in the broadest sense, for we are committed to providing the best opportunities possible for children to learn, to grow and mature into fine citizens.

We aim to teach students that they have a purpose in life – not just living in society, but to give something back to the world they live in – to help make it a better place. The school is a place of support for families as they seek to bring up their children in a changing and challenging society.

The school recognises the importance of this partnership between home and school and supports this belief with effective open communication. We desire ongoing consultation with parents. Parents are encouraged to discuss any school-related concerns with staff, and to share and celebrate student success.

At the centre of the school community stands Jesus Christ, our risen Lord. This is demonstrated through the importance placed on the spiritual life of the school. From the quiet of staffroom and classroom devotions to the energy and excitement of whole school worship, we appreciate the chance to begin the day listening to God’s word of love, encouragement and guidance to us.

Because we believe that the School is a place where each student is given the opportunity to develop to their true potential, in a safe and happy environment: We are committed to providing excellence in education in a family atmosphere of Christian love and care. This speaks of:

• Building foundations to assist students develop within their potential, as individual, life long learners
• Nurturing each precious child’s potential, within a safe and caring environment

We believe that the School is a place where each student is given the opportunity to develop to their true potential, in a safe and happy environment. We therefore promote:

• Excellence in education
• Preparing the next generation
• Teaching the Christian faith
• Working with families
• Being accessible to the diversity that is Australia
