College Values

Encounter Lutheran College strives to be student centred, spirit sensitive and community oriented.

  • Student Centred, by creating an environment where students have a passion to explore
    and analyse their world and take positive action in their community as lifelong learners.
  • Spirit Sensitive, by encouraging students to express their spirituality through asking questions
    and being willing to engage with the work of the Holy Spirit and the gift of God’s grace
    through Jesus Christ.
  • Community Orientated, by authentically connecting with and serving each other, in our
    local and global communities.

College Actions

Encounter Lutheran College strives to act:

  • with heart: By caring for the social, emotional and spiritual well-being of students and staff, so that each individual can be connected, at peace and be their best.
  • with creativity: By exposing students to opportunities and experiences that engage their sense of innovation and personal expression.
  • with a story: By celebrating our personal identity as it relates to our local, Australian, global and Lutheran heritage and history.
A place that looks like school, feels like home...
