Student Stationery 2025
Throughout this year we have been talking to stationery suppliers to find a suitable alternative that will accommodate the feedback we received from parents and staff.
Student stationery will be ordered, by parents, through Campion Education this year. Campion offers home delivery on your purchases ($8.95 per child), or you can choose to go into their shop to pick up your child's stationery to save on delivery fees.
Ordering will not be open until Monday 18th November 2024.
Please read the attached instructions, go to the campion website, and follow the steps;
For any ordering issues, contact Campion directly on 08 8337 4544. Remember, you can save on delivery by going into the Campion store to pick up your child/ren’s stationery.

Lutheran Care 12 Days of Giving
Next week (Week 6) we are looking for:
Monday - Packs of pasta
Wednesday - Jars of pasta sauce
Friday - Hot drink items
The families and students of Good Shepherd have always been generous at Christmas time in supporting the Lutheran Care Christmas Hampers. Lutheran Care’s Emergency Relief teams have shared which items their pantries are running desperately low on and what is helpful for families in need at Christmas time.
To get involved you are invited to find the items in your pantry or add an item to your shopping list, then send the donations to your child’s class on the day listed on the poster.
While Lutheran Care are listing 12 different items to be collected over the 12 Days of Giving, we understand that some families may not be able to stretch their budget this far and we are grateful for any donations you are able to give. We look forward to the front office being filled with Christmas Hamper donations.
GSPV Music Concert
You are invited to the Good Shepherd Music Concert next week where instrumental students will be performing on piano, guitar, violin, and drums.
This is also a great opportunity to those considering Instrumental Music Tuition for 2025. Hope to see you there!
Casual Day Success!
We are pleased to share that through our recent casual day, Good Shepherd Lutheran School raised $606.30 in donations. This contribution will go directly to Australian Lutheran World Service, supporting vital projects and communities in need. Thank you to all families for your generosity and participation in making a difference.
Spin Camp
Do you like camping and sharing time with other people who like to have fun? Here’s an idea! SPIN is a four-day, three-night, statewide camp in January (14th -17th ) for young people in years 4-6 (in 2024) to experience an inclusive and encouraging community and grow in relationship with Jesus and others.
This year’s theme is ‘Out of this World’. Significant sponsorship is offered to first time campers by the LLL (You just pay $50). For those who have attended this camp before, Good Shepherd church offers a subsidy, just ask Georgie. The camp is held at Camp Kedron, Barmera (Riverland SA). For more information, contact Georgie here, or head to SPIN to register.
Live Christmas Trees
Birdwood Lutheran Church is offering live Christmas trees for $50. Trees are either 6 or 7 feet. (That’s around 2 metres.) All money raised goes to supporting school chaplains in Adelaide Hills schools. If you have any questions or would like to place an order, contact John Dolling 0409 819 864 or via email.
- Orders need to be placed no later than Sunday 1st December.
