Peace Lutheran Primary School

What Peace Lutheran Primary School does

Peace Lutheran Primary School is an independent co-educational Christian primary school located at 36 East Street, Gatton, Queensland, operating under the governance framework of Lutheran Education Queensland and the Christian Studies Curriculum Framework of Lutheran Education Australia. Founded in 1982 by the Peace Lutheran Congregation, the school delivers full primary education from Prep (age 5) through Year 6 to families in the Lockyer Valley region. Its academic program is anchored in the Australian Curriculum and enriched with proprietary or licensed specialist programs including InitiaLit (a three-year evidence-based literacy program), the MultiLit intervention suite (LanguageLift, MiniLit Sage, MacqLit, Reading Tutor), the Play is the Way social-emotional learning curriculum, Auslan language instruction from Prep to Year 6, Project Based Learning, specialist Arts lessons in Music and Visual Art, and a 1:1 iPad program for Years 4-6. The school runs agile learning environments across all classrooms and provides a comprehensive sporting program, buddy program, camps from Year 3 onwards, and Learning Enrichment support for students with additional needs. Pastoral care is delivered with reference to the National Chaplaincy Funding Program.

The school is owned by the Peace Lutheran Church Congregation and is governed by a volunteer School Council; it does not have external investors or private equity backing. Revenue is generated primarily through all-inclusive tuition fees billed annually or per term (AUD 3,700 for one child, AUD 6,475 for two children, AUD 8,325 for three or more in 2026), supplemented by a non-refundable application fee (AUD 50) and enrolment confirmation fee (AUD 150). Outside School Hours Care (before/after school, vacation, and pupil-free day care) is delivered by Queensland Lutheran Early Childhood Services on a not-for-profit basis. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and community-driven: prospective families apply directly via the school website, complete an enrolment form, pay the application fee, and attend a Principal-led tour and interview before a place is offered, with priority given to congregation members and siblings of current students. Marketing relies on community reputation, word-of-mouth referrals, the school website, weekly email newsletters, P&F Association events, and church connections rather than paid digital advertising. Headcount is reported in the 11-50 employee band, consistent with a single-site small primary school.
