St Paul Lutheran School is a place close to my heart. As a long-term staff member and parent of the school, it is an honour to serve the community as its current Principal.
To truly understand who we are, we urge you to visit us and see our facilities and more importantly, our education program in action. Prioritising the needs of our children is where all decisions start at St Paul Lutheran School. From a deep appreciation of play to a whole school language around emotional regulation, we recognise how children develop, grow and thrive.
As a Lutheran School, St Paul Lutheran School has a ministry and mission focus. In our ministry to others, we share and live the good news of Jesus’ saving grace to our community. In addition, we have a mission focused on providing the best education and care to children and families of every background and faith in a culture of mutual respect and openness.
We look forward to meeting you and your family!
Leila Mattner,
Principal

St Paul Lutheran School opened in 1973 under the guidance of St Paul Lutheran Church with 23 students 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 300 children in 14 classes, two classes at each year level 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.
