A note from the Director
Hello all and welcome to another edition of From the ED's desk.
I recently had the privilege of spending extended periods of time in several schools.
The passion, dedication and thoughtfulness of staff in Lutheran education is a delight to see everywhere.
I spent:
- a day with the staff leadership team and a tour around the school by student leaders at Eastside Lutheran College in Hobart, Tas,
- two days shadowing the principal at Geelong Lutheran College, Vic,
- a day shadowing the principal at Concordia College, SA, and
- I am about to head off to Port Lincoln, SA, to observe classes at Navigator College for a couple of days.
I look forward to planning future school visits where I will have the opportunity to further deepen my experience of the breadth of Lutheran schooling nationally.
