Christian education - growing with the community'. Encounter Lutheran School located at Victor Harbor is a school of some 260 students, catering for students from Reception to Year 7 as well as operating an Early Learning Program, Playgroup and Out of School Hours Care Facility. Encounter Lutheran School provides excellence in education where God's love is shared with all through a caring and compassionate approach; the development and delivery of age appropriate pedagogies; a safe, stimulating and challenging learning environment and a daily encounter with the Word of God. God's love is also shared through the implementation of National and State curriculum; a Christ centred and community approach to education; a recognition and response to the needs of individual students and a team of passionate and dedicated people. The picturesque setting of the school allows opportunity for outdoor sport and students are heavily involved in SAPSASA. Student leadership is encouraged from a 'service' perspective and is spread evenly among the senior students. Students and families are strong participants in community activities in areas of environment, sport, academics, industry and social activities, and extracurricular activities such as surfing, music, sailing and the arts are encouraged.
