St Andrews Lutheran College - The School

The School

The school serves pre-school to 12th grade classes.

The School allows for many different paths to be taken. Whether it be academic, sporting, leadership or the performing arts (PA). Leadership positions extend over a range of fields; from Leo (Lions Youth), Community Service Captains, House Captains, Student Council and College/Vice Captains.

Sports wise, the school encourages students to become active by holding three sporting carnivals, annually. These are: Swimming, Athletics and Cross-Country. The Four school houses, Gowandi (green), Jubi (red), Binging (yellow) and Wardjam (blue) compete for house points to win the House Cup at the end of the year.

When the students reach their senior year at St Andrews, they become included in graduating traditions created by the students. First and foremost, the school formal (which is directed by a student-based formal committee), the Valedictory Dinner (a good-bye dinner for students, parents and teachers), Presentation Night (a night for awards, recognition and Performing Arts entertainment) and the Final Chapel (which is led completely by the year twelve students with a Christian theme).

The school also hosts a Fete on every odd based year and a School Musical on every even based year (2012 musical "The Wiz")

Darrin Schumacher is the Head of Junior School, Tom Casey is the Head of Middle School and Tania Stewart is Head of Senior School.

Famous quotes containing the word school:

    I have often told you that I am that little fish who swims about under a shark and, I believe, lives indelicately on its offal. Anyway, that is the way I am. Life moves over me in a vast black shadow and I swallow whatever it drops with relish, having learned in a very hard school that one cannot be both a parasite and enjoy self-nourishment without moving in worlds too fantastic for even my disordered imagination to people with meaning.
    Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)

    I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a women’s college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.
    Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
