The Evangelische Hochschule Nürnberg (EVHN) - University of Applied Sciences is a nationally recognised centre of university education for religious education, social education and care-oriented careers in the church, social ministries and the wider society. Education is based on the Christian concept of man. Therefore, aside from the scientific foundation of the lessons, research, further and continuing education, there are additional topics on offer – all types of spiritual, personality-building and general education. In addition to their scientific qualification and training, students are encouraged to reflect on their own person and ethical questions in one’s profession and in society. The manageable size of approximately 1,300 students and small study groups allows for a personal cooperation between lecturers and students. As a state-approved university of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria, the EVHN cooperates with reputable practice institutions and other universities at home and abroad. In the Masters course “Social Management” (M.S.M.) staff from welfare institutions (both public and private) are offered to qualify for managerial and administration functions. The Masters course “Adult Education” (M.A.) qualifies for managerial functions in adult education/further education, for an independent employment e.g. as a lecturer, trainer or for cooperation in educational counselling and human resources development. Both Masters courses were reaccredited in 2010.
This school's mission is to train persons who "serve God and the world in the spirit of Christ" through "instruction which values each individual." Christianity, the founding spirit that is JLC's legacy, does not only appear in lectures but is part of all campus life. Much can be learned and gained from the daily interactions with faculty, staff, and other students. Japan Lutheran College has a Campus Christian Center, where the Chaplain (pastor) provides leadership for all the worship-related activities and programs on campus. The Chaplain is served by a Chaplain's Assistant and other helpers and student volunteers who make up the Worship Committee. There are chapel services every class day. While worship is not compulsory, it does provide a place where faculty and students can come together as one, heard the Word of God, and join in prayer. Through the messages presented here, there are opportunities to see another side of those people we interact with daily. The basis of our "Lutheraness"--as it were-of praising God and fostering a love for our fellow humans is found in this Christian instruction. We hope that the years of study at JLC will result in knowledge and skills and be a time that profoundly affects each of us as individuals. Through its instruction of "valuing every person," Japan Lutheran College develops the human resources that "value every person," and so realizes the desire of students to "serve by helping someone." The implementation in 2014 of a 5-course organization in Social Work, Community Development, Child and Family Studies, Clinical Psychology, and Christian Studies clarifies the support for career formation, with academic models for registering and earning professional qualifications. From the moment students enter, Japan Lutheran College carries out interviews and guidance for future employment or further academic study. Many students sitting for an entrance exam have only a vague idea of their future careers. At Japan Lutheran College, students select their specific course of study after progressing to their second year. Following their college entrance, they have an orientation for each course, which clarifies for them which is most suitable, answers to their dreams for the future, and gives a concrete plan for pursuing academic goals. They then choose their course. Students can study in fields besides their course, thus enhancing their learning and acquiring certification. Japan Lutheran College offers an interdisciplinary curriculum for study as the Faculty of Integrated Human Studies, Program in Social Work and Clinical Psychology comprises three fields of studies: Social Work, Clinical Psychology, and Christian Studies. Thus, both psychology and social work studies are based on the Christian perspective of humanity. Students entering the college are trained to be professionals with integrated, holistic approaches for providing care. The goals of the Center's Program are to contribute to the gospel's proclamation through research, instruction, and practical fieldwork that will serve the church and society. All these activities are based on the Christian faith, respecting all people's spiritual needs from a wholistic stance and centered on support for humans to find healing and personal development. The Dale Pastoral Center seeks to contribute to society as a whole by understanding the Christian faith and all humanity, extending its services to the Lutheran Church and all churches in ecumenical fellowship. The resources of the Center are available not only for church workers but for all members. The program emphasizes cooperation among all to carry out its activities through inclusiveness and dialog.

Waikerie Lutheran Primary School is a supportive Christ-centred community, equipping each student for life. A supportive Christ-centered Community remembers that while we were made right in God's image, we are at the same time guilty human beings that are far from our Heavenly father's idea of perfect people. It is only through Jesus Christ's life-saving work on the cross that God sees us fit to be in heaven with him. That is why when we do 'all things through Christ' (Our motto that appears in our emblem), we remember that we are no better or worse than anyone else; we are all people who need saving. Our goal is that the love and care dispensed at this school is for each child and each family, equally apportioned, as Christ loved us all. We humbly go about our work, knowing it is Christ's work we do and Christ's love in which we live. It is our place only to sort our affairs and not the affairs of others. By doing things through Christ, we attend to our relationships by reflecting on our relationship with God. We respect our teacher's and principal's positions and encourage them in their endeavors as they serve our children and the wider community.

Tarrington (Hochkirch) first settlers were of German, Lutheran origin. The first settlers believed firmly that the Church and the Education of young people went hand in hand, so the church and its school became the center of the German community in the area. The present modern equipped school is set under the ‘shadow of the cross, of the present imposing church, built-in 1926 after a bush fire destroyed the first building. The church spire can be viewed from a distance, especially at night, and witnesses all who pass by an active, caring Christian community present.

St Peters Lutheran School has been providing a Christian education for children from Dimboola and surrounding districts since 1958. Our school is unique as it is a small school with small classes and a low teacher to pupil ratio. This creates a sense that the school is a family with a personal and caring approach. We are well equipped with updated resources, including computers and interactive whiteboards in each class. St Peters offers a safe Christian environment that endeavors to provide a diverse learning environment that nurtures mutual respect, love, and care. Over recent years we have upgraded a range of facilities, with the most notable being a new synthetic playground surface and basketball court, new computers, and iPads for students to use in class. At St. Peters Lutheran Primary School, we have a rigorous and challenging curriculum. Our experienced and carefully appointed teachers have a wide range of expertise, skills, and knowledge, which we have incorporated into our broad and stimulating curriculum. For many years St. Peter's congregation was very conscious of its responsibility for Christian education and had already organized a Saturday School to overcome the limitations of a Sunday school. Progressively, this forward-looking congregation realized the Saturday school's limitation, so the next step a Christian day school. Ownership and ultimate responsibility for St. Peter's Lutheran School rest with St. Peter's congregation, which regularly appoints a School Council to discharge the responsibility of overall care of the school. Day to day internal running of the school is undertaken by the appointed Principal. St. Peter's Congregation has generously supported the school financially since its inception in 1958. St. Peter's Lutheran School was opened in 1958. A year earlier, the St. Peters Lutheran Congregation had set to establish a Christian day school on a Mallee block just east of the Churchyard. Initially, classes were held in the hall until a portable two-classroom school was built and delivered by Stawell Timber Industries of Lake Road Stawell.
Our teaching and learning approach is based on the understanding that students learn best through experience informed at school by social interaction with teachers and other students. We believe that it is vital for students to have a sense of power and control over their learning. We emphasize vital competencies, stimulate thinking skills, and utilize technology to create a challenging, self-motivating, and enjoyable learning environment. Our students engage in challenging and stimulating activities. They have much fun, but they work hard. A successful learner graduating from St. Peters Lutheran School will be: Skilled to work cooperatively, collaboratively, and individually A good communicator Flexible, so able to embrace change An active learner A life-long learner At St Peter's we offer an education designed to last a lifetime. Schools are dynamic and changing places. We are always looking forward to seeing how we can continue to cater to the best learning opportunities for all the children in our care and incorporate best practices throughout all we do. We are focusing on five main areas: To be a community that embraces and builds quality relationships, using our collective gifts and talents to serve God, each other, and the school To develop and embed best practices so that all have the opportunities to reach their God-given potential eLearning and Innovation– To develop a culture where digital learning and innovation are an integral part of its learning program. To have a safe school environment which encourages play, learning, and activity and can change as our school changes To ensure that our school is well-governed and resourced now and for the future. In looking forward as a community, it is essential to reflect on the things that have worked well in the past and honestly address areas where there is a need for improvement. The next years' plan is a combination of strengthening the things that we already do well being open to change as it impacts us in the years ahead. An integral part of our planning is ensuring that we can appropriately resource all the things we need. We are committed to both curricular and extra-curricular activities being offered as widely as possible. This plan will change as we continue to grow. Our School Council and Leadership Staff will continuously review the school's progress and make changes if circumstances require. There are exciting times ahead for our community, and we look forward to taking this journey with our students and families..jpg.fc0d0420ccf323f8325d0d95d3d6cb50.jpg)
Our school was established to provide high-quality education within a safe and caring Christian environment. It has been my privilege to be part of this wonderful learning community for the past eight years. At St Paul's, there is a feeling that we are all part of an extended family. Our teachers, parents, and students work together to make that feeling of belonging a reality. Through your interest, involvement, and cooperation with us, we hope that you will come to feel very much part of our school community. Each student is treated as an individual, and all are encouraged to grow spiritually, emotionally, academically, socially, and physically in a caring and supportive environment. This only comes about when we all join together as a community with positive aims and purposes in mind. St Paul's is a dynamic, innovative, and future-focused school where students are supported by highly dedicated staff within a positive and safe learning environment. We provide a very contemporary learning environment where our aim is not to teach but to encourage students' to learn. St Paul's Lutheran Primary School equips our community of learners with a Christian worldview for living through sharing the love of Jesus. Our inclusive community provides a quality future-focused education in an ever-changing world, encourages and inspires a love of active lifelong learning. St Paul's is a Christian school that strives to operate within a Christian values framework. This is evident in the caring way staff meet students' educational needs and, at times, reach out and support families in need. We have embedded in our teaching program a Whole School Values Plan. This Plan focuses cyclically through the year on the following values: Love Forgiveness Compassion Justice Humility Appreciation Service Hope Courage Quality Christ is the model on whom our values are based, and we take comfort in knowing that when we fall short, He forgives us. This free forgiveness is referred to as God's Grace and is a vital doctrine of the Lutheran Church and its schools. The St Paul's Lutheran congregation here in Caboolture had the ambition to build a school that would serve their children's needs and provides an excellent Christian education for others in the community. In 1980 the church purchased the land the school now occupies. The school opened its doors for the first time some five years later. Over the following years, the school has slowly expanded to its current size with two classes for each grade level from Year 1 to 6 and a triple stream at Prep. The school commenced in 1985 with just three classes. These were pioneering days. Parents, children, and staff joined together with a will. Difficulties and shortages were overcome with inventiveness and energy. The school became involved with various local activities and soon became well known within the town and surrounding districts.

Developing a culture of understanding that is true to our Christian identity is at the forefront of all that we undertake. A great school stretches far beyond being just about academic achievement. We live in a community that demands so much more from us. We encourage the children to use the wisdom they gain at school to be critical and creative thinkers.

St Peters Lutheran College was established by the Lutheran Church in 1945. With 56 boarding students, the College opened its doors on a parcel of land in Brisbane'sBrisbane's western suburbs—the exact spot that the Indooroopilly campus sits on today! Through its founders' generosity and vision and leadership stability, St Peters has grown to be the largest Lutheran school in Queensland. There have been just seven Heads of College since its inception and, the iconic Ross Roy House (the only building in early College life) still stands tall today. St Peters has grown in leaps and bounds since 1945. In 1973, demands saw the need for a Lower Primary school to be constructed at Indooroopilly (now our Prep and Primary Years site), and in 1978, an Upper Primary school was built. In 1974, the iconic St Peters Lutheran College Ironbark program was first introduced, near Crows Nest in Queensland. Initially established as a trial program, this innovative, life-changing outdoor education program has continued to be a staple for St Peters students since 1976. Currently, Ironbark is held over five weeks. Students in Year 9 live and breathe country life, learning invaluable lessons about personal strength, teamwork, Christian values, outdoor survival skills, and how to run a farm. Between the 1990s and 2000s, St Peters Indooroopilly underwent many changes. Catering for the demands of new enrolments over the years, the campus has introduced a Pre-school, a Junior School, and a Middle School for Years 6-7. In 2007, with the change of Education Queensland'sQueensland's approach, the Junior High sub-school structure was introduced. To this day, Junior High caters specifically to students' developmental needs from Years 7-9. The current school structure at Indooroopilly includes Prep, Primary Years (Lower Primary and Upper Primary), Junior High, and Senior School. St Peters Springfield is the latest addition to the St. Peters Lutheran College mix. Established in 2008 as a Prep-Year eight school, the campus now caters to students from Kindergarten-Year 12.

St Michael's Lutheran Primary School will provide a Christ-centred dynamic and innovative education in an inclusive school community. As a community, we are passionate about learning. We believe that every student can learn and develop in their way and be supported to meet their potential to be equipped for life. First established in 1839, St. Michael's is the oldest continuing Lutheran school in Australia. Upon starting a new life in Hahndorf, the German settlers founded the school so that their children would be taught the Lutheran faith and German heritage. The school was closed by an Act of Parliament in 1917 at the First World War height and remained closed until its reopening in 1946..jpg.6ff12c9d93f08fbbe172b69564af15b2.jpg)

It is a vision based on God's self-revelation in the Bible, God's inspired Word, and the trustworthy source of Christian teaching. The school endeavors to set up and maintain a framework of Christian attitudes and relationships which will, by the power of the Holy Spirit, permeate and integrate its entire life and work and thereby help it to grow as a caring community. Therefore, the educational philosophy of the school is based on the recognition that God is the giver of all truth and that the skills and attitudes of the students are being developed and used for the glory of God through service to one another.

Lutheran schools have been a part of Australia's education landscape since 1839 and now extend into every state and territory of Australia except the ACT. Lutheran schools have experienced significant growth, which has led to system support at regional and national levels. Lutheran schools are schools of the Lutheran Church of Australia and, as such, are based on the central message of the gospel, namely the good news in that our acceptance by God does not depend on our worth or achievements but his unconditional commitment (love) for us, evidenced through the life and death of Jesus. The promotion of Christian growth and development in our students is a reflection of what Jesus has done for us. Lutheran schools offer quality teaching and learning experiences for each child to reflect their uniqueness. They are also seen as a community where caring and respectful relationships are developed and become the essential element binding the school community together to live out the school's ethos and values. As part of the Lutheran school system, St Mark's makes a difference as it respects the past, operates in the present, and looks boldly to the future..jpg.bf077761f1e78402c858811af50259cb.jpg)

We are excited to offer families a Christian choice in education and continue to provide excellence and care in a beautiful, tranquil environment where learning is valued and excellence is encouraged. The school vision statement is also our motto "to maturity in Christ. This seemingly simple phrase is rich in meaning and encouragement and is readily understood by even the youngest children. The following points amplify this vision statement: "to" – indicates a process and a direction. Education is a lifelong process. It should also be in an intentional direction. "maturity"- is our desired goal in primary education, as throughout all of life. "in Christ"- to live all areas of our life in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This scope of our vision is all students and all members of the wider school community. To strive through a life-long education, to be fully mature in Christ is a worthy goal for us all. The School logo presents this in the following manner. At the center of the logo is the empty cross, emphasizing that the risen Lord Jesus Christ is central to our school's whole foundation and operation. The radiating light symbolizes God's love and grace to us through Jesus Christ and the love we then share. The open Bible shows that all authority and practice is based on God's Word.
