About Luther College
For the last 50 years, Luther College has been providing learning opportunities and experiences in an environment where Christ is central, excellence is pursued and relationships are valued.
Students at Luther College learn in, and through, a rich diversity of experiences. Extending on students’ academic learning, Luther is committed to fostering a culture of care, collaboration and service, within our local and global community.
The transition from primary to secondary school is significant. Luther College purposefully creates a welcoming and positive learning environment for its Year 7 students, with a transition program that begins midway through Year 6 and continues through to Year 8.
Senior students are also well prepared for the transition from secondary school to tertiary education and adulthood. Our Senior Years Centre combines key educational, relational and support structures into one area. It also incorporates a variety of spaces designed to meet the diverse learning needs of senior secondary students.
You are most welcome to see our school in action by attending one of our weekly tours. Contact the office on (03) 9724 2000 to make a booking or if you have any questions.
