Japanese Students Homestay

LCS are excited to welcome students who have arrived from Japan to complete a homestay with our families.

It is great to also welcome Colin, who runs the SpeakUp English School. Colin is one of our alumni students, and he attended LCS thirty years ago. It was fun to retrieve some yearbooks out of the archives, and for students to be able to see pictures of their teacher here at LCS when he was their age.

Students are enjoying settling into their new classrooms and meeting their classmates and teachers. We pray that our new friends enjoy their time with us in Tasmania!

CEN New Teacher Induction Course

Last week, we were blessed to hold a Christian Education National - CEN New Teacher Induction Course here at Launceston Christian School.

It was lovely to collaborate with and welcome educators from Newstead Christian School and Devonport Christian School to this PD on Christian Education. The course was led by our alumni Principal and current CEN Tasmanian SEO, Adrian Bosker.

Hosting and participating in intentional PD is valuable, as Christian Education is not just about a Christian way of understanding, it's also about a Christian way of living. It informs, invites and inspires young people to live lives serving God.

School Holiday Office Hours

The school office will be open Monday to Thursday from 10am to 3pm during the school holidays. It will NOT be open on Fridays.

My Christian School

CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS ARE different.

Our students go into the world with Christian hope in their hearts. A new generation of Aussies who love to volunteer, to serve their communities and to build strong families.

At the heart of this difference is the living Christian faith of teachers and staff. People whose lives model the grace and love of Christ. However, proposals from the Australian Law Reform Commission threaten to change this. Hiring a teacher or staff member at a Christian school because they are actually a Christian may soon be seen as discrimination.

My Christian School is for Australians who believe in this difference.

Together, we can preserve this precious difference for future generations.
