Our Story
A proud history. An exciting future.
Living Faith's History
Living Faith opened its doors to 66 students in 2001. Before this, many hours of work had gone into planning by members of the Lutheran congregations at Petrie and Sandgate. Both congregations sold their properties to purchase eight hectares of land at Murrumba Downs with the express purpose of establishing a Lutheran school.
In 2015, the first of a series of contemporary classrooms was constructed, drawing attention from global education communities, the architecture industry, and mainstream media.
The spaces include a Plaza, Sanctuary, and Habitat, and reflect the school’s pedagogy, which is founded on educational neuroscience and child psychology.
Today we have a modern and spacious complex with the School, Kindergarten, Outside School Hours Care, Playgroup, and Church sharing the site.
Living Faith's Future
Living Faith is entering a new era as Living Faith Lutheran College as we extend into the secondary years from January 2027.
We are excited to be welcoming our first cohort of Year 7 students to the College. This cohort will lead Living Faith as they progress through to graduation from Year 12 in 2032.
Living Faith's proud history and reputation as a leading contemporary learning school will continue into the secondary years with our Mastery, Bespoke and Launch courses designed to engage students in their learning and to prepare them for a future we can't predict.
The extension into the secondary years will see exciting building developments in coming years as we create a state-of-the-art learning facility that, like our well-established primary school, fosters curiosity, confidence, creativity and joy.

The following video has been developed to share the building development as we grow to introduce Years 7 to 12 from 2027.
About Lutheran Schools
Lutheran schools have been part of the education scene in Australia since 1839 when early German settlers saw the value of home and school working as partners in their children’s education.
There are now over 135 schools and early childhood centres across all states of Australia, educating more than 44,000 children and young people.
The curriculum of a Lutheran school matches all state and Australian Government requirements, with Christian Studies added as a Key Learning Area and worship a regular part of school life.
