At Grace, our aim is to help students grow spiritually, emotionally and academically. We do this with an integrated Faith and Service program throughout our Curriculum, Co-curricular activities at events at the college. 

Students from Years 7 to 12 attend weekly Chapel Service in the Grace Lutheran College Chapel. This is performed by our School Chaplains and Ministry team. All students also take part in Christian services throughout the year, including Easter, Ash Wednesday and our Opening and Closing Services. Once a years, students can also enjoy EXO Day - a whole school festival onsite at Grace Lutheran College, celebrating that "Life is EXO-llent with Jesus".

In the classroom, students are supported with a Christian pastoral care program called GEL (Grow. Empower. Learn). Home class teachers support and mentor students as they progress through high school, and help them to grow emotionally, spiritually and academically. 

Students also take part in Service Learning programs within their subjects. This includes fundraising and running AWARE Days in Christian Studies and Business education, or sewing garments and gifts to be donated to Aged Care Facilities and other community service organisations. Grace students can also attend organised youth camps, christian events or school clubs like Men's Shed and Ladies Chill'n'Chat. 

In Year 9 and Year 12, students are elected as the Faith and Services leaders of the College. The Faith and Service captains work with the Grace Ministry team to support and promote Christian Faith across Grace Lutheran college and into the local community.

FIRST® Robotics is an internationally acclaimed robotics program that inspires a passion for science, technology, engineering and mathematics in young people.

Grace Lutheran College has an extensive partnership with FIRST® and the many robotics competitions and challenges they offer.

Grace was the first school in Australia to host a FIRST LEGO League event in 2014, with the program now running in over 50 schools across Australia. In 2015, Grace students were also the first in Queensland to develop a FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) robot - the highest level of school-based robotics in the world.

Students can join Grace's Robotics teams to take part in these local, national and international robotics competitions.

Students use Grace's state-of-the-art technology labs to build and code their robots, then battle it out in robotics coding challenges. Students must use their knowledge and skills in robotics to reach certain goals, often under a stick time limit.

Grace Lutheran College is currently responsible for Australia's FIRST Tech Challenge robotics competition and hosts the national FIRST Tech Challenge championship every December.

On the global stage, our robotics teams regularly represent Australia at the FIRST Lego League Global Challenge. Grace students have traveled to Washington DC, Mexico City and Dubai since the inaugural event in 2017. Grace has won a Silver Medal at every event, and our robotics students have build friendships they maintain to this day.

Grace Lutheran College offers a broad range of exciting programs for students who are academically gifted or show exceptional talent in particular learning areas. These gifted and talented programs cover English Literature, Mathematics, Science, Dance, Music, Sport, FLEX (Foreign Languages Excellence) and Robotics. 

Designed to engage and challenge passionate learners, these programs are built to meet the needs gifted and talented students by providing opportunities to develop the knowledge, skills and motivation required to excel in their area of talent. 

Some Ignite Excellence Programs (such as Mathematics, Science and English) are facilitated via specialised classes in those subject areas (during the timetabled school day). Other Ignite Excellence programs and opportunities are co curricular.  Ignite Excellence students also have the opportunity to attend a range of events (including our FIRST Lego League Robotics competitions) and receive mentoring in their area of talent. 

Grace Lutheran College’s Caboolture and Rothwell Campuses each offer a selection of Ignite Excellence Programs for students. These are tailored to meet the gifts and talents demonstrated across the cohort. 

Students must apply to take part in Grace Lutheran College’s Ignite Excellence Programs. Applications can be submitted to the Academic Enrichment team,
