Grace Lutheran College

Grace Lutheran College is, by the grace of God, a Christian community. It aims to continue the preparation of young people for a life of faith and service so that God will be glorified in the world.

One College, two campuses

Grace Lutheran College is one college across two campuses, united in purpose and community while offering unique opportunities at both Rothwell and Caboolture.

Rothwell

Located on the Redcliffe Peninsula, our Rothwell Campus is a co-educational secondary school, catering for students from Year 7 to Year 12.

Caboolture

Our Caboolture Campus, is a close-knit high school community, providing a stable and caring learning environment to students across the Sunshine Coast.

The Grace Way

Grace Lutheran College is one College with two campuses, Rothwell and Caboolture, owned and operated by the Lutheran Church of Australia, Queensland District. A College Council appointed by the Church provides governance, strategic direction and policy for the College.

Grace Lutheran College is a community-based, co-educational secondary school, open to all families who are willing to support our ethos, without discrimination as to class, race or belief. We aim to be inclusive of the diverse range of people who call Australia home.

GRIT

GRIT means perseverance with all tasks from the mundane to the very difficult. When we practice grit we attempt new challenges and complete all tasks to the highest possible standard.

GROWTH

GROWTH means having a growth mindset, a passion for learning and improving oneself. When we practice a growth mindset we confidently try to improve, and tackle new challenges.

GRACE

GRACE means undeserved generosity, first received from God, then freely given to others. When we practice grace we honour and accept others.

Life at Grace Lutheran College

At Grace Lutheran College we believe that each child should be given the opportunity to discover who they are and what they love doing. We know that not everyone is a scholar or good with their hands or on the sports field or dance floor. We do know, however, that everyone is good at something. Our role is to help them uncover this. We encourage them to explore this through education so that their confidence and their capacity to strive towards their ambitions grows.
