Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in Heaven”.
Our students are encouraged to stand as principled and resilient leaders who use their gifts and talents to serve others and to really make a difference in the world around them.

Secondary schooling at Eastside Lutheran College is characterised by increasingly high expectations for leadership and service. Students are given the opportunity to partner with a range of community organisations, and work across the College to assist younger students.
