Contextual Information about the School

Immanuel is one of the 138 systemic Lutheran schools, kindergatens, and Early Learning Centres in Australia that has God’s Word at the centre of life. It is an Early Learning – Year 6 coeducational school located on the same campus as Immanuel College. As a Lutheran school, each student is seen as a unique person created by God. Through the Lutheran Faith, we share a history of schooling in Australia spanning 183 years. The gospel of Jesus Christ informs all learning, teaching and human relationships.

Immanuel is an innovative school that connects the strengths of spirituality and learning through a celebration of the gospel and an outstanding educational program with a very active co-curricular program. We recognise the values of tradition, with our vision centered on the future. Through inclusive practices Immanuel caters for a wide range of learners, including highly able students and those with learning challenges. Our school is one of hope and optimism as we strive to make caring and service a way of life for our students and community. The programs and facilities offer students an exceptional range of pathways as they pursue the ELC to Year 12 educational journey.

Immanuel has been accredited by the International Baccalaureate for delivering the Primary Years Program in an exceptional manner. The rigour of the IB Primary Years Program is connected to an environment where students feel empowered to learn, explore, discover and analyse. The Primary Years Program prepares students to become active, caring, lifelong learners who demonstrate respect for themselves and others and have the capacity to participate in the world around them. It focuses on the development of the whole child. In conjunction with an extensive co-curricular program, skills and dispositions needed for the future are developed with passion and interest.

Central to the approach at Immanuel Primary School is the belief of partnership - parents and teachers working together in providing the best possible environment and quality personal care for all students. We warmly welcome the active participation of our parents and caregivers in assisting us to educate their children. Immanuel provides structures for constant communication between the home and the school.
