Did you know Luther College in Melbourne was not always the thriving hub of learning it is today? In 1964, just 53 students started their secondary school journey here. Fifty-three! It’s hard to imagine Luther so small, with its expansive grounds, impressive modern facilities, and bustling hallways filled with students eager to learn. The school, named after Martin Luther, the father of the Lutheran Church, has grown a lot since its humble beginnings. It holds a special significance in the Lutheran community, with the Outer Eastern Lutheran Church parish even congregating in the school’s chapel. The school has a strong focus on religious education, with all students participating in mandatory classes and attending chapel three times a week. Back in the day, it was a boarding school, drawing students from regional Victoria and even overseas. But, as the student body grew, worries arose about the school’s facilities. By 2002, the boarding program ended, and the boarding house facilities were demolished or adapted into classrooms. However, today, the school still has a close relationship with the Good Shepherd Lutheran Primary School, with many students going on to attend Luther College after completing year 6. Both schools even share facilities, including the sporting ovals and the chapel. So, as you stand here before the impressive building, remember the small beginnings and the dedication to faith and education that continues to guide Luther College through the years.
