Life-long Learning
Our Community
Lutheran schools in Queensland understand the important role
parents play in the education of their children. Without a supportive
home environment, the capacity of schools to maximise each child’s
learning is limited. When teachers, parents and the community
work together to support each child, the child thrives.
There are many ways that parents can assist their children to be
successful in their learning journey within a Lutheran school.
