Our School

Principal’s Welcome

It is my privilege to welcome you on your journey to learn more about our amazing St Paul community. Thank you for considering us to partner with you in nurturing and educating your child. As a Lutheran School we welcome all to be part of our community to experience how our Christian values create a place for everyone to belong.

At St Paul we value the uniqueness of each child and see them as inherently curious, creative and playful. Our warm and caring staff create rich and meaningful learning experiences, built on the Australian Curriculum, to support your child’s instinct to discover and explore.

With an intentional focus on wellbeing, we equip students to understand themselves and others as they build strong relationships and connections.  

As you browse our website, you will form your impressions of St Paul and have further questions. I welcome and encourage you to visit us in person to fully appreciate all that we can offer you and your family.

Interim Principal

Our Story

St Paul Lutheran School opened in 1973 under the guidance of St Paul Lutheran Church with 23 children and two teachers, in the upper room of the church complex.

From these humble beginnings, our school has grown over the years to accommodate approximately 250 children from Reception to Year 6.

Beginning with a small building added onto the church, several classrooms and an administration office were built.

Additional land was acquired and since then, St Paul Lutheran School has undergone several significant building developments to meet the demand for additional learning spaces, including new classrooms, a comprehensive library and a dedicated art room.

A intentional redesign to all classrooms has ensured that our classrooms are contemporary, calming spaces for children, with as much access and visibility to the outdoors as possible. 

Continuous enhancements are made to ensure our school provides exemplary resources, programs and opportunities for our children.

Our Facilities

Library

Our spacious Library is in the heart of the school. This boasts an up-to-date and comprehensive resource collection, available to children and families before, during, and after school. Our library software program allows children of all ages to browse the catalogue from any location with any device. The library is also open during playtime for all children to enjoy.

Performing Arts Centre

St Paul Lutheran School offers a well-equipped centre with a full-sized stage, modern lighting and sound for rehearsals and performances including school concerts and participation in larger events such as the SA Schools Challenge. Children can participate in the school choir and Chapel Band, as well as receive individual music lessons during school hours. Instrumental lessons available include violin, piano, drums, and guitar.

Sports

The school offers tennis, netball, and basketball courts on the school grounds. Barton Reserve is utilised daily to provide our children with an expansive outdoor facility. In addition, our hall provides valuable all-weather indoor space for physical activity. Sports currently on offer are Basketball, Swimming, Netball and Soccer.

Worship Centre

Under our main roof, St Paul Lutheran Church provides a dedicated space for worship. Our children access the church for regular weekly Chapel, as an extension to our classroom learning areas, and as an additional meeting space for assemblies and presentations.
