LESNW represents 40 Co-Educational Schools and Early Years Centres (Learning
Communities) across South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
LESNW is an association for its members, providing professional learning opportunities,
advice and support. Each member is independently incorporated, having their own Boards
and making their own decisions.
We Represent 42 Co-Educational Schools Across 3 States
Lutheran schools and early years centres provide a Christ centered quality education for young Australians. The gospel of Jesus Christ informs all learning, teaching and human relationships. We aim to set up and maintain a framework of Christian attitudes and relationships, with each child knowing they are a special child of God. We also aim to grow Christian attitudes and relationships which permeate and integrate through a child’s entire life and work, thereby helping them grow as a caring community of lifelong learners. We seek to inspire young people to learn and serve, as we prepare them for their life beyond school.
