Geelong Lutheran College (GLC) has a proud history of educating young people in the Greater Geelong region.
With two campuses at St John’s Newtown (K to Year 6) and Armstrong Creek (Prep to Year 12), the College provides a Christian education in the Lutheran tradition, where a range of engaging, hands-on and inquiry-based learning opportunities are provided, tailored to the developmental stages of the students.
GLC St John’s Newtown has 360 students and is set in the urban community of Newtown in Geelong.
GLC Armstrong Creek, with over 900 students, is located on 11 hectares within the growing coastal community of Armstrong Creek, between Geelong and the Surf Coast.
The College has a broad catchment area that extends from Lara in the north, Bannockburn and Winchelsea in the west, the Surf Coast in the south, and the Bellarine Peninsula in the east.
Bus transport to and from school is available to students, with a fleet of 11 buses.
In the primary schools, there is a strong focus on literacy and numeracy, complemented by a diverse range of specialist classes in languages, performing and visual arts, technologies, STEM, physical education, music, and food technology.
In 2023 GLC’s candidacy for the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (PYP) was approved. This will provide a renowned pedagogical approach to learning steeped in an inquiry process with a focus on global citizenship.
Our approach to secondary school embraces three Learning Communities (Years 7 and 8, Years 9 and 10 and Years 11 and 12), each catering for the unique developmental needs of our students as they navigate
the movement from early teenage years to young adults.
Each Learning Community is supported by a Dean of Students who oversees the culture and pastoral support of the students in their care.
GLC has a diverse student cohort and embraces every member of the community regardless of their culture or background. Guided by our three core values of Wisdom, Honour, and Purpose, we focus on the whole child, encompassing the social/emotional, academic, physical, and spiritual dimensions of their development.
GLC offers a range of co-curricular and extracurricular experiences, catering for a broad variety of interests and passions.
