Living Faith Lutheran Primary School

What Living Faith Lutheran Primary School does

Living Faith Lutheran Primary School is a non-profit, co-educational K-6 Lutheran school operated as an arm of Living Faith Lutheran Church, located at 50-60 Brays Road in Murrumba Downs, Queensland, approximately 30 km north of Brisbane. Founded in 2000 and now in its 25th year of operation, the school serves families in the local catchment seeking a Christian education grounded in contemporary pedagogy, delivering Prep through Year 6 with plans to expand into Years 7-12 from 2027.

The school's academic model is built around Project-Based Learning (PBL), Visible Learning, and agile learning spaces equipped with flexible furniture, supported by a 1:1 iPad program (every student receives an iPad as part of fees) and a STEM Specialist Program introduced in 2024. Curricular offerings include performing arts (percussion, recorder, guitar, violin for all Year 2 students), a languages program, outdoor education camps from Year 2 through a Year 6 Canberra camp, and student wellbeing frameworks including Zones of Regulation, The Resilience Project, and a wellbeing dog (Webster) integrated via Dogs Connect. The school also offers an on-site Outside School Hours Care service, a five-day tuckshop with Flexischools online ordering, and shares its campus with Living Faith Lutheran Kindergarten and Living Faith Lutheran Church, while operating a related Living Faith Early Learning Centre at Petrie.

Revenue is generated almost entirely from tuition fees of approximately A$6,790–A$7,750 per year (depending on year level), billed annually, with discounts for subsequent siblings and for families who also have children at Grace Lutheran College. Ancillary revenue comes from OSHC (eligible for Child Care Subsidy), tuckshop sales, and the affiliated kindergarten/early learning services. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via a website-led three-step enrolment process (application, tour/information session, enrolment interview), supplemented by fortnightly principal communications, a mobile app, and a parent portal. The school is governed by a School Council under the church, with no external shareholders.

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Redeemer Lutheran College: Lutheran K-12 college in Rochedale, Brisbane, drawing from a similar Lutheran Christian family segment. Directly comparable as a Lutheran independent school with primary and secondary pathways in the greater Brisbane market.
• Grace Lutheran College: Sibling Lutheran K-12 college at Rothwell/Caboolture with cross-school family discounts and a dedicated shuttle bus to Living Faith. Most direct functional peer as a Lutheran institution serving the same Moreton Bay catchment with a secondary pathway.

Others

• Australian Independent Schools Australia: National peak body representing independent schools including faith-based institutions. Relevant as the broader sector association whose funding, policy and advocacy environment shapes the operating context for Living Faith.
• Lutheran Education Queensland: Peak body coordinating Lutheran schools across Queensland, including Living Faith. Relevant as the governing ecosystem and shared-services counterpart that sets curriculum frameworks, accreditation and shared branding across Lutheran school peers.

Broad incumbents

• St Peters Lutheran College: Large Lutheran K-12 college with campuses at Indooroopilly and Springfield. Comparable Lutheran pedagogy, brand authority, and broader programme breadth (including Years 7–12 and specialist academies) make it a benchmark incumbent for Living Faith's secondary expansion ambitions.

Regional players

• Concordia Lutheran College: Lutheran K-12 college based in Toowoomba, Queensland. Comparable faith-based K-12 model and Lutheran Education Queensland affiliation, with overlap on pedagogy and family segment but a separate regional catchment.
• Good Shepherd Lutheran College: Lutheran K-12 college in the Noosaville region serving a similar faith-based independent family segment. Comparable Lutheran ethos and K-12 delivery model, but operates in a different geographic catchment.
• Immanuel Lutheran College: Lutheran K-12 college on the Sunshine Coast. Operates a comparable faith-based K-12 model with similar emphasis on Christian values and contemporary pedagogy, though in a different Queensland region.
