About Good Shepherd Lutheran Primary
Thank you for taking the time to view our website. I trust it will provide you with some information about Good Shepherd Lutheran Primary School and will give you a glimpse of life at Good Shepherd. This website may stimulate further questions or interest in Good Shepherd. Please feel free to contact the Administration Centre to arrange a tour of the School.
Good Shepherd was established to provide a high quality education within a Christian caring environment. The School understands Christian education to be concerned with the complete development of the individual in all aspects of his/her being.
At Good Shepherd, we endeavour to provide the encouragement, care and understanding needed for children to reach their fullest potential, educationally, socially and physically.
I believe it is a privilege to serve as Principal of Good Shepherd and to be supported by a very capable and dedicated team of staff. An actively involved parent body works together with the School to develop and promote a very positive school culture and ethos. I look forward to sharing with you all that makes Good Shepherd a very special place. Again, thank you for the interest you have shown in Good Shepherd Lutheran Primary School.
