“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Ephesians 2:8–9

This Saturday, 31st October, we recognise Reformation Day, an important occasion in the life of the Lutheran Church and our school.

More than 500 years ago, Martin Luther challenged the Church to return to the central message of the Gospel: that we are saved by God's grace, through faith in Jesus Christ. Our salvation is a gift, freely given through God's love, rather than something we can earn through our own efforts.

This understanding remains at the heart of Lutheran education. Every person is valued and loved by God, regardless of their achievements, circumstances, or background. It calls us to be inclusive, to recognise the dignity of others and to extend the same grace that we have received. Luther also emphasised that while good works do not earn our salvation, faith naturally expresses itself through love and service to others.

At LORDS, we see this through our commitment to service learning and the many opportunities our young people have to care for others. We encourage them to recognise God's love in their own lives and then share that love through their actions.

As we recognise Reformation Day, may we be reminded that God's grace is the foundation of our faith and that our response is to live with gratitude, allowing our faith to be active in love.

Prayer

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the gift of Your grace and the salvation we receive through faith in Jesus Christ. Help us to recognise Your love in our lives and share it freely with others. Guide our LORDS community to live with gratitude, extending grace and serving those around us. Amen.

• This LORDS Voice, we will be praying for families in our community and their needs:  Cole-Walia, Collard, Connors, Conroy, Cooke, Coombs.
• We give thanks for the gift of education and for the staff who serve our LORDS community. Bless them in their vocation and strengthen the partnership between families and educators as we nurture our young people.
• As we recognise Reformation Day, we thank You for the gift of salvation through grace and faith in Jesus Christ. Help us to live out our faith through love and service, extending Your grace to those around us.

This week, LORDS will recognise World Teachers' Day through our own Staff Appreciation Day, an opportunity to acknowledge and thank all those who contribute to the life of our school.

While World Teachers' Day rightly celebrates the important work of teachers, at LORDS we choose to recognise every member of staff. From those working directly with our students in classrooms to those supporting the many operations of our school, each person contributes to the learning and growth of our young people.

Martin Luther was a strong advocate for education, encouraging communities to establish schools for both boys and girls. At a time when educational opportunities were far from equal, Luther recognised the importance of educating young women as well as young men. He understood that education had an important role in preparing people for life and service within their communities. That understanding continues to shape Lutheran education today.

Our staff have chosen a vocation that carries both great responsibility and wonderful opportunity. Every day, they invest their time in helping young people learn, discover their gifts, and grow in their understanding of themselves and the world around them. I am incredibly grateful for the commitment and dedication of our LORDS staff. Their work is often demanding, and much of what they do happens quietly, beyond the view of students and families. Yet these contributions make an enormous difference to the life of our school.

I would also like to sincerely thank FOLS (Friends of LORDS) for their generosity in providing a morning tea for our staff as part of Staff Appreciation Day. It is a thoughtful gesture and a wonderful expression of the partnership and care that exists within our community.

Craig Brown

Principal

There has been plenty to celebrate across the Junior School recently, with plenty of opportunities for our students to learn, connect and create special memories together.

Our Year 3 Sleepover was a great success, with students enjoying a fun evening at school filled with activities, laughter and time with their friends. A big thank you to the staff who organised and supported the evening, helping make it such a memorable experience for our Year 3 students. We also welcomed our new students during our orientation sessions, giving them an opportunity to become familiar with their classrooms, meet teachers and begin building connections ahead of their next chapter at LORDS. It was lovely to see them exploring their new surroundings and growing in confidence.

Our Prep to Year 3 swimming program has provided students with valuable opportunities to develop their swimming skills, build water confidence and strengthen their understanding of water safety. We were also treated to a wonderful Junior School Musical Soiree, showcasing the musical talents and confidence of our students. It was a pleasure to see them share their hard work and enthusiasm with our school community, and we thank our music staff for the time and dedication they put into preparing the students for this special event.

As we continue through the term, it is wonderful to see our students embracing new experiences, celebrating one another's achievements and living out the LORDS Ways in their learning and relationships. Thank you to our staff and families for the many ways you contribute to making the Junior School such a vibrant and supportive community.

Upcoming events Term 4

• Prep 2027 Orientation – Saturday 31st October
• JS LORDS Celebrates – Tuesday 3rd November
• Messy Church @ LORDS – Sunday 15th November

Blessings,

Rebekah Bruyn

Head of Junior School

Our Junior School students have been diving into their swimming lessons, building confidence in the water and developing essential swimming and water safety skills.

From practising their strokes to learning new techniques, every lesson is an opportunity to grow, challenge themselves, and celebrate their progress.

It's wonderful to see our young swimmers giving it their best, encouraging one another and having plenty of fun along the way!

Congratulations to the students involved in the APSMO Maths Olympiad, Maths Games, and Maths Explorer Programs this year. These students participated in weekly sessions to develop their mathematical problem-solving skills over Term 2 and Term 3. They put their skills to the test in four contests over this time.

Over the past four months, the Year 3 students have been engaging in a Project-Based Learning unit about homelessness. We have been learning about different organisations and how they help people experiencing homelessness.

On Friday 16th October, the Year 3 students gave up their comfy beds to sleep over at school to experience what it might be like to sleep without the comforts of home. To begin the evening, we had a visit from two volunteers from St Vincent de Paul to learn more about their organisation and to participate in activities to experience what it could be like for a person who is homeless.

Here are some quotes from our Year 3 students:

“I learned that homeless people have a rough time sleeping because it took me a long, long time to get to sleep.”
"I really enjoyed eating the food because it was so yummy".
“I enjoyed the fun activities that the ladies from St Vinnie’s had for us to do, particularly the one with Lego.”
“I found it interesting to learn how much losing your job affects being homeless.”
“I found it hard sleeping because of the snoring".

Year 3 is launching their project to help St Vinnie’s with their annual Christmas appeal. We would love your support to help us create hygiene packs for the homeless. Donations of (travel-size) shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, soap, small packets of tissues, small hand sanitizer, deodorant, small hand cream and shaving cream, Christmas bonbons, Christmas puddings, long-life custard, fruit cake, Christmas lollies, pancake mix, shortbread and Christmas biscuits would be appreciated.

Egg-citing STEM News: 28 Healthy Chicks!

Our chicken incubation programme has been a wonderful success! From our original 30 eggs, 28 live chicks have hatched—an excellent result!

Throughout the programme, students have enjoyed an exciting, hands-on opportunity to explore life cycles, incubation, animal development, and the science behind hatching eggs. This authentic STEM experience has sparked curiosity and provided valuable opportunities for observation, inquiry and learning.

A Reminder for Families Adopting Chicks
Families who have adopted three chicks are reminded to collect them today or tomorrow. Please bring a suitably sized, secure, and ventilated box or cage to transport your chicks safely. If you require essential supplies, including chick starter food, bedding and feeders, a package is available for $50.

Chicks Still Available!
We still have chicks available for adoption! Families interested in welcoming chicks home are encouraged to get in touch asap (keira.bartley@lords.qld.edu.au)
Thank you to our families for supporting this wonderful learning experience. It has certainly been an egg-cellent STEM adventure!

LORDS Celebrates (Years 4 to 6)  is next week, and we are looking forward to sharing this event with our school community.

For our Junior School:

Tuesday 3rd November, 2026
1.00pm start
Please be seated by 12.45pm
Highway Church
351 Creek St, Ormeau

Uniform: Students are to wear formal school uniform (no hats required). Please ensure that school shoes (leather, lace-up shoes) have been polished and hair is neat, off the collar and out of the eyes. Students with shoulder-length hair or longer need to wear their hair back with an appropriate school plain coloured hair tie (i.e. navy, gold or burgundy).

We look forward to celebrating the year with you at this event.

At the Secondary School LORDS Celebrates last week, we presented the Student Leaders for 2027. Our 2026 School Captains shared some encouraging words and advice in their reflection on their experience as Student Leaders.

Amritha: "I've learnt that some of the most meaningful moments of leadership are often the ones nobody else sees. Never underestimate the difference a small act of kindness can make."

Darius: "You don't have to know everything before you begin. Sometimes, the greatest lessons come from trying something new, getting things wrong and having the courage to try again. ... Bring your own ideas, your own personalities and your own strengths."

Tristan: "Don't measure your year by the number of events you attend, the speeches you deliver or the recognition you receive. Measure it by the students who felt included, the people you encouraged and the positive changes you helped create."

Congratulations to our Student Leaders for 2027.

What a wonderful evening of celebration at Highway Church last week as our LORDS community came together for LORDS Celebrates Secondary School 2026.

It was a special opportunity to recognise the achievements, dedication and contributions of our students, and to celebrate the many ways they have grown throughout the year.

Congratulations to all our award recipients! We are incredibly proud of your accomplishments and the commitment you have shown.

A particularly special moment of the evening was the presentation of our Class of 2026, with each Year 12 student individually introduced on stage. It was a wonderful opportunity to recognise and celebrate our graduating students as they prepare to farewell LORDS and begin their next chapter.

A heartfelt thank you to our staff, families, and wider LORDS community for the encouragement and support you provide our students throughout their learning journeys.

An evening to celebrate achievement, recognise effort and reflect on another wonderful year of Inspiring Great Humans.

Our Year 9 students returned from Street Retreat in Brisbane’s CBD with full hearts, tired legs and a fresh perspective. Street Retreat is about learning with our heads, hands and hearts, and this year’s experience brought all three to life.

We began the week alongside our friends at the St Vincent de Paul Society Vinnies QLD, participating in challenges around the Kurilpa Park district that deepened students’ understanding of the realities of homelessness in our city. Time spent with Micah Projects, including a delicious lunch from Hope Street Café, further broadened our awareness of our community's needs and the many ways we can offer support.

A highlight of the week was our time with Emmanuel City Mission. Listening to the stories of people who have experienced homelessness, alongside those who walk beside and support them, was both humbling and inspiring. Students then rolled up their sleeves to make beds for the Night Sanctuary and assist in the kitchen before lunch service. It was service learning at its finest, building empathy, challenging assumptions, and inspiring action. Emmanuel City Mission was also deeply appreciative of the generous donations and support provided by our LORDS community.

Street Retreat is not all serious reflection, though. There was plenty of time for fun, connection and shared memories. Students explored the Queensland Museum before heading to South Bank for swimming, games and well-earned ice creams. A bento-box picnic dinner, a ride on the iconic CityCat and the twinkling lights of the Brisbane skyline were enjoyed by students and staff alike.

At LORDS, we believe meaningful learning begins with curiosity and deepens when we step beyond the familiar. Street Retreat provided countless opportunities for students to do just that. Whether hearing personal stories, reflecting on their own assumptions, or exploring places and perspectives new to them, students crossed boundaries that allowed them to see the world through a different lens.

One such experience took place at St John’s Cathedral, where students reconnected with Rev Dr Ann Solari and Pastor Julie. This year’s visit included a special bell tower tour, offering a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of this historic landmark. We were also privileged to present donations from our LORDS families and spend time appreciating the beauty and peace of the cathedral space.

Our hearts were stretched during the Queen Street Mall Sit, as students quietly observed the rush of city life and reflected on what it might feel like to go unseen or unheard. Later, they took part in the $2 Dinner Challenge, sourcing and sharing a meal on a very limited budget. It was a powerful lesson in gratitude, empathy and the power of community.

We are grateful for the ongoing support of Nazareth Lutheran Church of South Brisbane - Woolloongabba. Their warm hospitality, evening worship service, and, of course, Pastor Chris’ famous bacon and egg muffins after a long night sleeping on the floor were much appreciated.

On our final day, we headed to People’s First Stadium to take part in Zambrero's Plate 4 Plate Challenge. Our Year 9 students and staff helped prepare 100,000 meals for people experiencing poverty. It was a fitting way to conclude a week centred on empathy, service and community.

We are incredibly proud of the compassion, courage and kindness our Year 9 students showed throughout the week. Through experiences that challenged their thinking, opened their eyes and moved them to action, they embraced every opportunity to learn and serve with their heads, hands and hearts, and showed us exactly what it means to be inspiring great humans.

A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful staff who accompanied our students on their Street Retreat: Chris Kearney, Brayden Lang, Emma Lawrence, Chaplain Jeremy Lie, Belinda Ingram, Rebecca Miller and Selina Kinne.

Your generosity, time, and willingness to walk alongside our students made this experience possible. We are so grateful for the care, encouragement, and inspiration you shared, and for the difference you make in the lives of our young people.

Our Year 11 Visual Art students recently participated in a two-day excursion alongside students from Trinity Lutheran College and St Andrew’s Lutheran College to develop their inquiry questions to guide their IA1 artworks. Students explored art, culture and creative practice through a range of enriching experiences across the Gold Coast.

Day 1 began at the top of Q1, where students took in 360-degree views of the Gold Coast landscape. They then visited HOTA Gallery, where they participated in a portraiture photography workshop led by artist Michelle Le Plastrier. Students also explored Energies, an exhibition showcasing outstanding Year 12 student artworks from across the Gold Coast region, featuring our very own Jorja Scott!

Day 2 began at Trinity Lutheran College, Ashmore, where students participated in a digital drawing workshop led by artist Phoebe Paradise, who specialises in illustration, murals and public art installations. Students explored how digital artists set up their work and used Procreate on iPads to create their own digital artworks. The workshop encouraged students to explore creative processes, such as physical collages and experimentation with digital techniques to develop ideas for their own artworks.

The excursion provided a rich and inspiring foundation for students as they begin their bodies of work. We wish them all the very best on their creative journey.

Words have power, and our students proved it this week at the Interhouse Debating Competition.

Representatives from Pimpama, Albert and Logan Houses tackled challenging topics, delivering persuasive arguments, quick thinking and strong rebuttals across three competitive rounds.

Congratulations to Albert House, crowned the 2026 Interhouse Debating Champions, defeating Logan House in the Grand Final!

Our Year 8 Japanese students enjoyed a fantastic Zoom session with students from Narakawa School in Japan!

Putting their language skills into action, LORDS students introduced themselves in Japanese, while their Japanese peers did the same in English. They then took turns - deciding the order with Scissors, Paper, Rock online - and asked questions about each other's hobbies, interests, and favourite things.

The students then enjoyed a game of Pictionary, where the students put the Japanese and English vocabulary they have been learning over the past term to the test!

There were plenty of laughs, smiles, and language practice, with both the LORDS and Narakawa students amazed at their ability to communicate!

What a wonderful opportunity to build confidence, make international connections, and discover that language learning is about so much more than the classroom!

Full hearts, helping hands and a few fabulous costumes!

With External Exams just beginning, our Year 12s made their final week of classes one to remember.
Last Friday, they led our school community in chapel, sharing a thoughtful reflection:

Our hearts remind us of who we have become.
Our hands remind us that our story is not finished yet.

During the week, they visited their Year 1 buddies for the final time, creating bookmarks for one another—a special keepsake of the friendships they have formed.

Dress-ups also brought plenty of colour, creativity, and laughter this week as our seniors celebrated their time together.

Monday: What I wanted/want to be when I grow up
From future doctors, athletes, teachers and tradies to a range of creative career aspirations, students showcased their dreams and ambitions with enthusiasm and imagination.

Tuesday: Something starting with the first letter of your name
Creativity was on full display as students arrived dressed as everything from cowboys to Hawaiian tourists and plenty of imaginative characters in between. The effort and originality made for plenty of laughs and memorable moments.

Huge congratulations to our Year 12 cohort for fully embracing the themes and helping create such a positive, vibrant atmosphere around the College. We look forward to seeing the excitement continue as they celebrate their final weeks together.

Year 12, as you prepare for exams and the next chapter, carry those full hearts and willing hands with you. Your LORDS community is cheering you on!

8 of the Fastest-Growing Jobs in Australia (and How to Get Into Them)

Trying to choose a career can feel a little ridiculous when half the jobs you’ll be doing in 10 years might not even exist yet.

AI is changing how we work. Australia’s population is growing and ageing. We’re building new energy, water and transport infrastructure. Healthcare needs more people. And somewhere in the middle of all that, you’re supposed to work out what you want to do after school.

The good news? Australia is expected to add almost 2 million jobs by 2035, according to Jobs and Skills Australia. And while some of the fastest-growing careers are exactly where you’d expect them to be (hello, AI), plenty aren’t.

We’ve analysed the latest data and trends so you don’t have to, and pulled together eight of Australia’s fastest-growing jobs.

Congratulations to our Under 16 LORDS Boys Futsal Team, who have been crowned QSF Shield Champions!

On Thursday 22nd October, the boys travelled to Nissan Arena to compete in the QSF Shield Finals after finishing 3rd in the group stage of the competition.

For the first time all year, the team had their full squad available, and what a difference it made!

The boys played some outstanding futsal throughout the day, progressing through the group stage undefeated to finish in 1st place.

They then faced Hillcrest in the Grand Final and delivered a dominant performance, securing a convincing 9–3 victory to take home the Shield!

An outstanding effort from all the boys, who showed great skill, teamwork, and determination throughout the competition.

Well done, boys!

On Monday, 19th October, LORDS took to the court at the Gold Coast Primary Schools Futsal Competition, with an impressive five teams representing our school! We had two Under 9 teams, two Under 10 teams, and one Under 12 team competing against schools from across the Gold Coast.

It was a busy, exciting day, with every team playing at least five games, and some pushing through to six as they progressed to the finals!

Under 9 Red – Champions!
Our Under 9 Red team fought their way into the Grand Final, where they faced Kings in a rematch after losing to them in the pool games. The team turned the tables in spectacular fashion, securing a convincing 7–0 victory to claim the title! What a fantastic effort!

Under 10 Red – Champions!
After going undefeated throughout the rounds, our Under 10 Red team also earned their place in the Grand Final. They faced a determined Kings team but held strong to come away with an outstanding 5–2 win! Congratulations on a brilliant performance!

A huge congratulations to our three other teams, who showed incredible determination, kept pushing through a demanding day of futsal and demonstrated great sportsmanship throughout the competition. Their effort, teamwork, and positive attitudes were fantastic to see.

We are so proud of all five teams for representing LORDS with enthusiasm, resilience, and sportsmanship. Well done to all our players and coaches on a wonderful day of futsal!

On Friday 16th October, LORDS proudly took a Year 5/6 Girls Team and a Year 5/6 Boys Team to the Yarrabilba Touch Fields at McKinnon Park South, Yarrabilba, to participate in a fantastic day of touch football.

All students represented LORDS with great pride, demonstrating exceptional sportsmanship, teamwork and impressive skills throughout the day. It was wonderful to see our students encouraging one another, working together and displaying such positive attitudes both on and off the field.

It is exciting to see touch football continue to grow across our school, with students showing enthusiasm, commitment and a genuine love for the sport. We are incredibly proud of the way both teams represented LORDS and look forward to seeing even more students get involved in the future!

Congratulations to Dawson S, Year 7, on an outstanding year in Soccer and Futsal!

Dawson’s U13 Academy Soccer team won their Grand Final after a 10-month season, before finishing 15th nationally in the U13 Premier division at the Premier Invitational. He has also been retained in the Academy for 2027.

In Futsal, Dawson captained the LORDS U14s, stepped up to play for the U16s, and was selected to represent Queensland at the National Schools Futsal Championships, where his team reached the finals.

Dawson has also earned selection for the Australian team to compete in the UK in April 2027

Well done, Dawson. This is a fantastic achievement across both sports!

Indie C and the South Coast Team came second at the Queensland State Under-14 Futsal Championships in Cairns.

The weekend before leaving, Indie played for the Crusaders Academy 1 U15 Girls team at the Football QLD 2026 Futsal State Titles. Indie and her team came in second. The final was tight and came down to a penalty shootout.

Congratulations to Indie on her sporting achievements.

Congratulations to Noah H.
He competed at the National Futsal Championships, earning selection to the Australian team for next year's Costa Blanca Cup in Spain.

We are very proud of Noah's achievements.

Congratulations to Athena (Year 7) on her outstanding performance at the recent All Schools Triathlon and Aquathlon Championships held at Kawana on the Sunshine Coast.

Athena competed in both the Aquathlon (300m swim, 2.5km run) and Triathlon (300m swim, 10km bike, 2.5km run), demonstrating impressive determination, endurance and versatility across both events.

Her efforts were rewarded with excellent placings in both disciplines, including a personal best performance in the triathlon.

As a result of her strong performances, Athena earned selection in the South Coast team for both the Aquathlon and Triathlon at the 2027 Queensland Representative School Sport (QRSS) 11-19 Years Triathlon and Aquathlon State Championships, to be held at Sylvan Beach, Bribie Island, from 7th-9th February 2027. With athletes only able to compete in one discipline, Athena has chosen to represent South Coast in the Triathlon event.

This is a fantastic achievement and a testament to Athena's hard work, dedication, and commitment to her sport. We wish her all the very best at the State Championships.

State Championship Success! Congratulations to Huddy G, who competed at the Queensland Schools State Track and Field Championships at QSAC recently.

Huddy had a fantastic meet, recording a personal best in the 200m, finishing just shy of a PB in the 100m, placing 4th in discus, and taking home 3rd place in the 4 × 100m relay.

A great achievement, Huddy! Congratulations on your efforts and a successful weekend representing yourself and your region with pride.

Our boys represented LORDS with pride at the recent Emerging Schools Rugby 7s Tournament at John Paul College.

Despite a tough start to the day, losing their first three games, the boys showed great resilience, teamwork, and determination.

They learned from each match and finished the day on a high with a well-earned 5–2 victory over Trinity Lutheran College!

A fantastic day of learning, growth, and improvement. Well done, boys! We look forward to seeing you build on this progress at the Moreton Bay tournament in a few weeks!

The U14 Boys opened with a strong 22–15 win over Kelvin Grove at the Moreton Bay Emerging Schools Rugby 7s tournament and came agonisingly close to a second victory in their next game, leading Redlands 10–0 at half-time before going down 17–20.

Injuries and fatigue made the final two games challenging, but the team showed great effort, teamwork and attacking development across both recent tournaments. Plenty to build on for next year!

MVP: Lukas M.

Well done, boys!

Coomera State Special School Visit – Strings

On Monday 19th October, our Strings students visited Coomera State Special School, where they enjoyed a wonderful opportunity to perform and connect with the students. Their performance brought great joy to the audience. Following their performance, our LORDS students had the opportunity to introduce the students to their instruments, demonstrate how they are played, and share their knowledge of performing music. 

This interactive experience allowed the students to engage with the instruments, learn something new, and enjoy making connections through music. The Performing Arts staff were incredibly proud of our students for the respectful, enthusiastic, and positive way they engaged throughout the visit, making it a truly memorable experience for everyone involved.
