St. Luke’s School was opened in 1961 and is situated in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. In 2011 the school will celebrate the golden jubilee of the school, giving thanks for 50 years of Catholic education being provided to the Lalor area.
St. Luke’s School is in a unique situation regarding its status as a Parish School. Its students, and therefore the families it serves, come from a wide geographic area.
In 2011 St. Luke’s has an enrolment of 361 students who come from 28 different cultural backgrounds with students with a Language Background other than English being 52.6% of our school population. Whilst we regard this as an absolute positive, it means that curriculum provision needs to be specifically designed to meet the wide variation of needs of our students and these factors also impact on student outcomes.
