Our Mission

Our Mission Statement

As a leading primary school in Alice Springs, under the Lutheran banner, our mission is to empower lifelong learners with Christ as our foundation, while developing intercultural understanding and respect to shape and enrich our world.

Love

Forgiveness, humility, tolerance, respect, compassion. For Christians, the expression of love is a response to God’s love. It is a way of being that leads to inner peace. Love flows from the heart and shows itself in caring, kind and respectful thoughts, words and actions.

Service

Endeavour

Hope, diversity, integrity, independence, commitment, enthusiasm, quality. Endeavour means persevering, believing that through God’s strength the best outcomes can be achieved. Feedback is offered that encourages growth of each child’s gifts and talents.

Courage

Independence, resilience, curiosity, creativity. It is the strength of heart that enables people to stand up their convictions to do the right thing. Courage means giving it a go, even when success is uncertain.
