Ministry

As a Christian school in the Lutheran tradition, Lakeside College offers a program of spiritual development and worship. This aims to see students grow in their understanding of God’s love for them through Jesus. Spiritual development activities include weekly worship services, morning devotions, pastoral care programs and retreats.

The ministry program of the College considers the varying cultural and religious backgrounds of our families and extends respect at all times. We seek to support young people to be aware of their own spirituality, have an understanding of the Christian faith and be able to extend respect to those with varying views of their own.

Chapel Services

Each week, all students attend a Chapel service. Most weeks these are held separately for Junior Primary, Upper Primary, and Secondary students. For significant days in the College and Christian Calendar, such as Ash Wednesday and Remembrance Day, we hold whole College Chapel services. Services are age-appropriate and inclusive and share with students the good news of Jesus, and his love for them.

Services last about 15 minutes. Parents and carers are warmly invited to join us.

Prayer for Students and Families

Throughout the year in our staff devotions, we pray for each of the students at Lakeside College by name. We don't mention individual needs or issues, but simply pray generally for God's blessing and protection on the students and their learning, and for God’s blessing on their families.

We also invite families to contact us if there are ever specific things we can pray for, or other support that we can provide.
