At St Paul's Lutheran Primary School, we strive to make all welcome. As central to our mission and ministry, at St Paul's we seek to develop lifelong qualities for learners (Lutheran Education Australia). These qualities encourage us to live in a community, reflecting the characteristics of God through the core values of LOVE, JUSTICE, COMPASSION, FORGIVENESS, SERVICE, HUMILITY, COURAGE, HOPE QUALITY AND APPRECIATION.
At St Paul's we have an expectation that everyone will be treated with respect and dignity. Everyone should feel safe and valued and it is everyone's responsibility to ensure that this happens not just at school, but around the world. To ensure this understanding, students actively support a community service project each Term.

Teneille began her journey as St Paul’s Chappy in April 2016.
