History
Following the success of Trinity Lutheran College at Ashmore, Queensland, the Lutheran Church of Australia started to plan the establishment of a Lutheran school to service the southern end of the Gold Coast, Australia in 198x.
The school is located in Tallebudgera, Queensland and currently has over 1000 students.
The school opened for teaching in February, 1993.
Since Opening, the school has expanded from one set of demountable classrooms, to ten extensive learning blocks. It facilitates three sporting ovals (as well as an indoor multi-purpose centre) and a basketball court. It has a theatre to support the performing arts and in May 2012 the Covered Outdoor Learning Area (COLA) was opened.
In May 2012 the school released a Social Media Policy which extends to staff, students and parents of students. This policy is based on a similar policy in place at Melbourne Girls Grammar School

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is no history of how bad became better.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“Bias, point of view, fury—are they ... so dangerous and must they be ironed out of history, the hills flattened and the contours leveled? The professors talk ... about passion and point of view in history as a Calvinist talks about sin in the bedroom.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
