St Peters Lutheran College 2023 Report
Tim Kotzur, Head of College

St Peters Lutheran College is a Prep to Year 12 co-educational School in inner-city Brisbane.  A central part of St Peters’ mission is to provide a stand-alone program to support Indigenous students in their schooling experience within an academic and pastoral context.

The St Peters Lutheran College Indigenous Education Program included 35 students in 2023, comprising of day and boarding students in Years 7 to 12.  The students are supported and educated via pathways to attain formally recognised qualifications when they graduate from school.  The College has a full-time teacher employed to support Indigenous students academically and to work closely with scholarship providers.

St Peters Lutheran College continues to provide increasing opportunities for all St Peters Lutheran College students, staff and families to access and celebrate Indigenous culture and acknowledge Indigenous history.  These aims have been facilitated through the inclusion of Indigenous perspectives into the teaching and learning curriculum and developing an active reconciliation plan and committee.  The College continues to celebrate Indigenous culture during Reconciliation Week and on Mabo Day.  The main highlight during the College’s multicultural day continues to be the dances that the Indigenous students perform in front of the whole College community.

It was very exciting this year to have five AIEF year 12’s graduating.  Their contribution to College life and the boarding community they have been involved in over several years has been exceptional.  In addition, the leadership and maturity shown by the year 12’s in supporting the younger Indigenous boarders is to be commended.  It was also very pleasing to have Mr Dallas Brown, a proud Kamilaroi/Gamilaroi man, join us in 2023 as a learning support teacher.  His support and input into St Peters Lutheran College’s Indigenous Education Program has been most welcomed by the students and boarding staff.
