Good News Lutheran School

http://www.goodnews.qld.edu.au/

Good News Lutheran School is located in Brisbane, Australia.  We serve about 450 students from Preschool through Grade 7.  Through a values program, staff at Good News Lutheran School aim to involve our students in the wider world around them.  We teach them the important concepts of empathy, compassion, cultural   awareness, volunteerism and spreading peace throughout our world. The Global Coalition is an excellent opportunity for our students to become active in spreading peace and cultural appreciation.

Good News Lutheran School places a strong emphasis on Information and Communication Technologies.  The ICT Manager and the eLearning Integration Teacher oversee the Centre for Applied Innovation and eLearning.  The aim of the Centre is to enhance digital literacy amongst our students and staff.  From preschool, our students begin lessons in Information and Communication Technologies.  They learn computer skills through integrated projects, taught in conjunction with their classroom teacher.  Staff at Good News are given professional development through an initiative called iTEC (ICT Teacher Education Centre).  Professional development focuses not only on skills acquisition but also on pedagogical strategies for integrating ICTs into their lessons.  More information about the Centre for Applied Innovation and eLearning can be found at http://www.eschool.net.au
