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 the late 1980's.
The school is located in Tallebudgera, Queensland and currently has over 1200 students.
The school opened for teaching in February, 1993.
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 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 serves pre-school to 12th grade classes.
Extracurricular activities
In academic, sports, and the performing arts (PA), leadership positions include Leo (Lions Youth), Community Service Captains, House Captains, Student Council and College/Vice Captains.
The school encourages students to become active by holding three sporting carnivals, annually, for 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, they become included in graduating traditions created by the students. These include the school formal (which is directed by a student-based formal committee), the Valedictory Dinner for students, parents and teachers, Presentation Night for awards, recognition and Performing Arts entertainment, and the Final Chapel which is led by the year twelve students with a Christian theme.
The school also hosts a fete on every odd-numbered year and a school musical on every even-numbered year. In 2012 the musical was "The Wiz"
