St Andrews Lutheran College is a private Lutheran based junior school, middle school, and senior school at Tallebudgera on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia.
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.[1]
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[2] which extends to staff, students and parents of students. This policy is based on a similar policy in place at Melbourne Girls Grammar 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")
