st paul's... where students are valued and connections are nurtured

St Paul’s was established in 1930 by the St Paul’s Lutheran Church, Henty. A group of dedicated people within the congregation saw the need for a Primary School that would provide a Christian Education for their children and just as importantly for children of families in the wider community. Visionary leadership and a highly committed staff have seen St Paul’s develop high quality education programs delivered within modern facilities.

OUR HISTORY

Lutheran schools have been a part of Australia’s educational 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 own worth or achievements, but on His unconditional commitment (love) for us, evidenced through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. The promotion of Christian growth and development in our students is a reflection on what Jesus has done for us. There are 83 Lutheran schools throughout Australia which consist of Early Childhood centres, Primary Schools and Secondary Colleges.

Lutheran schools offer quality teaching and learning experiences for each child to reflect their individual uniqueness. Lutheran schools are communities where caring and respectful relationships are developed. These strong relationships form the binding element that allows St Paul’s to actively share its ethos and values. As a learning community, St Paul’s proclaims hope for the future grounded in the Lutheran tradition.

St Paul’s provides an easy transition for students to St Paul’s College in Walla Walla offering students a 20% discount off tuition fees when transitioning from our primary to secondary school.
