Three times the quality

-

GOOD Shepherd Lutheran College is now the largest school in the Northern Territory with three thriving campuses in Leanyer, Palmerston and Howard Springs.

This Early Learning Centre to Year 12 College is a one-stop shop for dynamic education and an extremely well reputed Pastoral Care program.

The latter is perhaps what makes it the No.1 choice for parents seeking a quality, Christian and engaging education for their children.

The College has an Early Learning Centre (ELC) at both the St Andrew Campus in Leanyer, which caters for three and four-year-old children, and the Howard Springs Campus, which caters for four-year-old children.

The College is an Internatio­nal Baccalaure­ate World School, offering both the Primary Years and Middle Years Programmes.

They also offer NTCET programs for senior students.

Good Shepherd is committed to providing excellence in education, embracing the wellbeing of all students while aim- ing to develop active, knowledgea­ble and compassion­ate students, who understand they have a responsibi­lity to the communitie­s to which they belong.

The College does this through providing effective educationa­l pathways, opportunit­ies for service to others and a strong, community recognised and valued Pastoral Care program.

Good Shepherd works collaborat­ively with parents to ensure their children become confident learners with a passion for lifelong learning, with an acceptance of who they are and where their strengths lie.

The College provides a caring, supportive community, emphasisin­g the importance of positive relationsh­ip building and treating others with respect — it is simply central to the way they act.

The principle of Grace in Action is central to who they are as a Lutheran college.

The College is at the cutting edge of Positive Education which is the applicatio­n of the psychology of optimal functionin­g and wellbeing.

Research has shown that programs founded on Positive Psychology can bring about measurable improvemen­t in psychologi­cal, emotional and physical health, academic outcomes, wellbeing and life satisfacti­on.

These programs can also buffer against anxiety and depression which is an increasing feature of our society.

They are proud to be one of a handful of schools across Australia with this approach to education.
