Established in 1984, Prince of Peace Lutheran College is a co-educational Christian College for students in Kindergarten to Year 12 based on two closely located campuses in Everton Hills, North Brisbane.
Our Junior Campus on Rogers Parade is home to more than 420 students from Prep to Year 6. Our Kindergarten and Outside Hours School Care facilities are also based on the Junior Campus and run on behalf of the College by Queensland Lutheran Early Childhood Services.
Over 400 students attend our leafy, peaceful Senior Campus, which is approximately 1km from the Junior Campus and provides education for students in Years 7 to 12. Our close and supportive Christian community makes Prince of Peace Lutheran College a very special place for our students to enjoy a successful school career.
Junior Campus
At the Junior Campus, students enjoy spacious, air-conditioned classrooms equipped with interactive white boards and some (with a plan for all in due course) equipped with REDCAT hearing systems that allow the teacher’s voice to be heard by every child, regardless of where they are in the room.
Our youngest students enjoy their own spaces at Prince of Peace. The Kindergarten and the three Prep classrooms are each set in their own areas with separate play spaces, allowing our youngest students dedicated spaces to learn and grow, and to make a smooth and gradual transition to school.
Students enjoy two play areas, one for Years 1-3 and one for the older students, and together with the large oval, upper oval and hard court areas, there is plenty of space and lots of fun for all.
The campus has an exceptional Resource Centre that provides traditional library space, a media room and a computer lab where students work collaboratively. Additionally, there is a well-equipped music room and instrumental practice rooms. Students enjoy the privilege of using the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church for worship and other events.
Senior Campus
Our Senior Campus been designed to achieve maximum benefit from the shape of the site, providing bright, airy learning spaces. The balance of specialist spaces and general classrooms ensures the campus is able to provide a wide range of subjects in a small class environment. Campus facilities will continue to expand to meet the needs of increasing student numbers.
Great care has been taken in developing the outdoor environment at the Senior Campus. The creative work of our grounds team in planting and the development of seating and shade areas gives the campus a very special feel. When you visit our Senior Campus, take time to stroll through the Worship Walk, depicting the ten core values of Lutheran Education Australia, along to the Outdoor Worship Area.
Christianity and Christian values are central to all we do at Prince of Peace. The Lutheran perspective of sola scriptura, sola fide, sola gratia (by scripture alone, by faith alone, by grace alone) is expressed through short daily devotions and worship. The emphasis is not about morality, but about God’s love.
Christian Studies is a central curriculum component from Prep to Year 12, and Christian values and ethos are embedded and lived out in our daily activity.
As a Lutheran College we warmly welcome families of all denominations and also those with no set faith, but who share the appreciation of the College’s purpose and mission and the ten values of Lutheran Education Australia:
- love
- justice
- compassion
- forgiveness
- service
- humility
- courage
- hope
- quality
- appreciation
The Junior Campus enjoys the use of the Prince of Peace Church for its worship services and both campuses enjoy connections with the church congregation. Simple acts, such as the church providing lunch for our Year 12 students during QCS exams, allow opportunities for the congregation and students to connect.
The College is blessed to have a School Pastor who works across both campuses. Our Pastor regularly leads worship services and also plays a pastoral care role in supporting and counselling students.
Our staff at Prince of Peace comes from a range of faith backgrounds and all teaching staff participate in a Bible study program as part of their ongoing professional development.
As students journey through their school years, they are provided with a wide range of faith-based activities as part of the school routine, including:
Daily devotion, which provides an enjoyable start to the day throughout the College. In the younger years, this takes the form of a prayer, a story, or a song in the classroom. At the Senior Campus, students start to take responsibility for leading the devotion in their Pastoral Care classes alongside their teacher or a fellow student. Staff also start the day with a short devotion run by a fellow staff member. Daily devotions provides time to connect with God and each other on a spiritual level prior to the busy school day.
Worship takes place twice a week at each campus and all students attend. Students participate in a half hour sub-school (Y1-3, Y4-6, Y7-9, and Y10-12) and a whole campus worship each week (P-6, Y7-12). At the Junior Campus, these are either led by a class (which is extremely popular and provides great opportunities for confidence building from a very early age), by a class teacher or by one of the campus leaders.
Similarly at the Senior Campus, worship is led either by the students or a staff member. This variety in presentation provides a wide range of ideas, presentation styles and subject matters. Joint student and staff worship bands support campus worship services, providing lively and age-appropriate music. Parents are very welcome to attend all worship services. At the Senior Campus a separate communion service is held once a term in the outdoor worship area for those students who choose to attend.
Christian Studies is a central component to the curriculum, studied by all students from Prep to Year 12 in line with Lutheran Education Australia direction.
Our mission is to develop graduates who are equipped for success beyond school as confident, compassionate and caring individuals.
Prince of Peace Lutheran College is a grace-based Christian co-educational community, based in the northern suburbs of Brisbane, that inspires, supports, develops and honours the God-given potential of all of its members. Our College models Christian values, instills a sense of community and nurtures young people. Prince of Peace graduates are lifelong learners, who have the ability and grace to contribute fully to their communities, while at the same time not being afraid to pursue excellence in all areas of life.
Our students are the central focus of all that we do at the College. Every activity, whether in the classroom, on the sports field, in chapel or off campus is designed to inspire, engage and challenge students to achieve continual academic development and social and emotional growth. We recognise the uniqueness of each child and each individual’s potential to achieve and grow.
At Prince of Peace, education is characterised by:
- excellence through honour
- learning with purpose
- growth through challenge
Supportive and respectful relationships are at the heart of our College. We understand that for our students to fulfil their potential, they need positive connections with their peers, teachers and support staff. The pillars of our community are the ‘four Rs’: Relationships, Respect, Restoration and Responsibility.
Our daily activities are supported by the ten core values of Lutheran Education Australia: love, justice, compassion, forgiveness, service, humility, courage, hope, quality and appreciation.
We run before and after school bus services through the following areas:
- Bridgeman Down
- The Gap-Upper Kedron
- Bunya-Samford
- Chermside
- Northern Suburbs
Please find details of our bus routes here >
In addition, students can catch a between-campus bus to assist those parents with students at both campuses.
The exact route of each bus is reviewed at prior to the start of the school year to accommodate the students booked on each route. We are unable to provide a door-to-door service, but we do endeavour to pick up and/or drop off each student at a convenient and safe point. Drivers operate on a very tight schedule and cannot wait for students who are late for their pick up or drop off. For the safety of all, students and parents co-sign a student Code of Conduct for use of our College buses. Parents are provided with the mobile phone number of their driver, and can contact the driver directly in the event of an emergency or to advise the driver if their child is not attending school. If you are interested in further information on these services, including costs and pickup/drop off locations, please contact our Junior Campus reception on 07 3872 5775. For families in areas not serviced by College buses but wishing to access bus services from Eatons Hill and Albany Creek to the College, please check Brisbane Bus Lines.
