History

The concept for Good News Lutheran College began in 1992 as a result of the vision of members of the Lutheran congregations of Christ the Lord - Laverton and St. Philips - Werribee.

Discussions with neighbouring congregations resulted in the formation of a School Development Committee. Their objective was to ascertain the feasibility of a Lutheran Christian School in the outer western suburbs. This committee was joined by members of St. Matthew - Footscray and Martin Luther - Altona.

In 1994, 10 acres of land was purchased in Tarneit Road, Werribee. This site was chosen as it was in the main western growth corridor from Melbourne and had all available services and a pleasant outlook.

With the support and encouragement from the Lutheran Church of Australia, Government funding was applied for in 1995. Approval was granted for the opening of a Prep to year 6 single stream Christian School that opened in 1997.

After extensive consultations, Mr. Verne Ziersch was appointed as the school's architect, to design and draw plans for the Committee and the Wyndham City Council. Town planning approval was granted in February 1996.

In March 1996 the School Development Committee began operating as the Good News Lutheran College Council and school registration was issued soon afterwards.

In 1998 a new classroom/administration building was added.

In 2000 two new classrooms were added.

In 2001 a new playground was erected.

In 2006, 4 new classrooms, a toilet block and Church were added.

In 2008, Administration block was refurbished.

In 2009, 6 new classrooms and a multi-purpose room built to cater for expansion to secondary education.

In 2010, grants received from the Commonwealth Government's Building Education Revolution Initiative were used to construct a multi-purpose hall including gymnasium, drama room and canteen facilities.
