Amongst church spires and vineyards, the passion for quality education has been instilled in the hearts and minds of the generations before us. In 1845, the first Barossa Lutheran School opened in Tanunda. ‘Langmeil Schüle’ (Langmeil School, later to become known as Tanunda Lutheran School), was the first step in our unending pursuit of an education that brings something extra to the ordinary. In 1985, as the Barossa Valley celebrated 140 years of Lutheran education, courage and faith guided the opening of ‘Faith Lutheran Secondary School’ with an inaugural class of 26 students. Thirty-three years later, in 2018, Tanunda Lutheran School and Faith Lutheran College amalgamated to become the first ELC to Year 12 College in the region. The collective wisdom and values of those who went before us in earlier times, is part of what has shaped our ELC – 12 College into what it is today. A College with caring Christian values, excellence in teaching and learning, and a heart for each member of our community. Faith Lutheran College, a school of the Lutheran Church of Australia, welcomes students as three-year olds at our Junior School in Maria Street, Tanunda and continues to nurture, care and develop each individual as they journey through to Year 12 at the Middle and Senior School on Magnolia Road, and to the world beyond. Vision and Mission We offer an educational experience intentionally designed for students to find connection. We do this through our Vision: In faith, we grow together so that everyone can find their personal extraordinary and enrich our world. Backed by our Mission: Faith grows together because of the hope and love which Christ gives us. We grow together as a supportive community where diverse perspectives are embraced, spiritual growthis nurtured, and a sense of belonging is cultivated. We grow together as a collaborative team, co-creating engaging and innovative learning experiences, encouraging curiosity and a love for lifelong learning. We grow together as learners, actively participating in our educational journey, finding our personal extraordinary and building character grounded in Christian values . 4 Faith Lutheran College 2025 Performance Report ELC to Year 12 Values Our values are driven by faith, so we believe every child is ready to write their own remarkable story. Growth Growth is an ongoing journey. It’s about always striving for the best in everything we do. Courage The value of courage lies not in any one act, but in the motivations and values behind it. Hope With hope, we have reason to be optimistic, positive, face challenges, accept failure and to be confident not just in self, but in our future. Love Our love of self, others and learning is expressed through our attitudes and actions. From the Board Chair This year marked a significant milestone for Faith Lutheran College as it celebrated 180 years of Lutheran education, reflecting on its rich history wh
