| ABOUT |
Immanuel Lutheran College at Buderim was
established in 1979 to provide a distinctive, Christian
education for Sunshine Coast students . An independent private school, the College began with 63
students and has grown to the current enrolment of almost 860
across Kindergarten, Prep, Junior School (Years 1-6) and Secondary School
(Years 7-12).
Along the way, Immanuel has built a rich heritage of spiritual
and social values, sporting prowess, cultural excellence, and
academic achievement.
Since the first year 12 class in 1986, Immanuel graduates have
consistently embraced tertiary and further education, with
alumni now featured in a global landscape.

College Motto
The College motto, Walk as Children of the Light, points us in
the direction we must be going. We have to more fully come to
know Jesus Christ, who is the Light of the World, and to know
what it means to be “Children of the Light”. The motto tells us
then to be what we are, and thus a major objective of the
College is to expose its students to the Light of the World and
His plan for them.
College Logo
Our logo shows the Cross of Christ in front of the rising sun.
Since the sun gives us light, the logo highlights Jesus as the
Light of the World. Light also reveals and exposes and thus we
are reminded to look at ourselves as Jesus sees us. The sun is a
symbol of the Sunshine Coast and its surf, sand and enjoyment.
The Cross is a symbol of Christ and His love for the World. When
these two symbols are put together we have a picture of Christ
in the world where we are.
(As taken from the first edition
of ‘Immanuel ‘82’, from the then Headmaster, A J Jericho.)

Centrality of the Gospel
We acknowledge God’s Word as the authority and guide for the
community. In it Christ is revealed, providing the centre of all
we do under God’s grace.
Worth of the Individual
We believe each person in the community is important, their
worth attested by Christ and should be able to reach their
potential: academically, spiritually, physically, culturally and
socio-emotionally.
Excellence
Our aim is to strive for excellence in an education which is
authentic, life-related and future-orientated.
Importance of Relationships
We believe that in Christ all are equal, regardless of race,
ability, gender or physical nature, and are committed to each
other in caring, just, supporting, encouraging and forgiving
relationships.
Service
We believe that we are to serve one another and the community.
Respect for the environment
We believe that the natural environment is to be preserved and
protected as we interact with it.
Sense of Community
We believe that Immanuel is enriched as we develop school pride
and spirit and as we interact with the wider community. |
