Lutheran Primary School Wagga Wagga Ltd

[EduCativ]

Lutheran School Wagga Wagga is a co-educational Kindergarten to Year 6 Primary School with around 355 students. Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Wagga Wagga established our school in 1982. It has grown to become highly respected, and we continue to build our capacity to offer the highest standard of education in a Christ-centered environment. We firmly believe that God has created every child with a unique set of gifts and abilities. Our task is to ensure that they can develop as far as possible toward fulfilling their potential during the preceding years.

Lutheran School is part of the Australia-wide Lutheran School system, including 56 early learning centers, 40 primary schools, seven secondary schools, and 38 combined primary/secondary schools educating around 40 000 students. We encourage a close relationship and partnership between home and school.

Our Mission is to work under God in partnership with parents to provide an inclusive, nurturing, and high-quality education for every student. We hope that every student educated at our school will be:

• aware of their humanity
• open to the influence of the Holy Spirit and
• live according to a cohesive world view.

They will live in their community and reflect our core values of love, justice, compassion, forgiveness, service, humility, courage, hope, quality, respect, and appreciation. They will be on the journey to becoming:

• self-directed, insightful investigators and learners
• discerning, resourceful problem solvers and implementers
• adept, creative producers and contributors
• open, responsive communicators and facilitators
• principled resilient leaders and collaborators and
• caring, steadfast supporters, and advocates.

We strive to create an educational environment that fully recognizes every person as necessary, unique, and endowed by the creator with their gifts and abilities. Our task is to assist each child in discovering and developing these personal gifts. At the same time, we strive to help them develop the Christian values that will enable the use of those gifts in service to others and for God’s useful purpose.

• Everyone is God’s creation and equally precious.
• We live as a community that gathers around God’s Word in worship and study.
• We experience and demonstrate God’s forgiveness in Christ.
• We welcome all who come to us.
• Everyone is accepted, valued, and encouraged.
• We encourage service to others.

Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Wagga Wagga established Lutheran School Wagga Wagga in 1982. The school was officially opened on Wednesday, 3 February 1982, with Mr. Steve Rudolph (Principal) and Mrs. Ingrid Clift as the first teachers serving the school. For the first two years, the school operated in the Lutheran church hall in Athol Street, Turvey Park. In November 1983, construction of stage 1 buildings began on a parcel of farmland purchased on Red Hill Road southeast of Wagga Wagga. These buildings were completed in June 1984 and included four classrooms, a library, and a staff/office area.
