One of the greatest strengths of Lobethal Lutheran School is our Community…

Community

Families often tell us that what sets Lobethal Lutheran apart is the deep sense of connection, care and belonging. Ours is a school where people know one another, support one another and grow together – a place that feels more like a family than an institution.

Our Parents & Friends Association (PFA) plays a vital role in community life. Passionate, welcoming and incredibly generous with their time, our PFA brings families together through social events, fundraising initiatives and practical support for the school.

From community gatherings to the much loved coffee van, this group helps create the warm, relational culture we are known for. Their contributions have even been recognised through local Citizen of the Year awards, reflecting the heart of service that flows through our community.

At Lobethal Lutheran School, relationships matter – and they make all the difference.

OSHC & Vacation Care

Lobethal Lutheran School works in partnership with Lobethal Community Kindergarten and Lobethal Primary School to provide Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) and Vacation Care for our families.

OSHC is located at Lobethal Primary School, with a free shuttle bus operating five days a week to transport students safely between school sites for both before‑ and after‑school care. Vacation Care is also available during all school holiday periods, offering families continuity, care and convenience.

Lobethal Lutheran Church

Lobethal Lutheran Church is a caring Christian community located in the beautiful “Valley of Praise” in the Adelaide Hills. As part of the Adelaide Hills Zone of Lutheran churches, the congregation works closely with neighbouring churches at Birdwood, Spring Head and Woodside.

Families and visitors are warmly invited to join the church community for worship and fellowship. Sunday services are held at 9:30am, followed by morning tea – a relaxed opportunity to connect and belong. The church is committed to sharing God’s message of love, hope and grace, and to supporting both the school and wider community.

Lobethal Archives & Historical Museum

Located on the church grounds, the Lobethal Archives and Historical Museum shares the rich story of the region’s German and English heritage, alongside early Aboriginal artefacts. The museum is open by appointment and offers valuable insights into the history that has shaped Lobethal and the wider South Australian community.

Shed Men

This community group meets monthly on the second Tuesday of the month at various sheds and venues around the picturesque Adelaide Hills. Typically this involves a barbeque dinner followed usually by guest speaker.

Women’s Fellowship

After Bible Study and a ‘cuppa’, the Women’s Fellowship meeting begins.

Lobethal Christian Community Care

Lobethal Christian Community Care is an initiative of the combined Christian churches in Lobethal to provide support to those in need.

A Care table is situated in the church narthex, where donations can be made. There is also opportunity to share excess produce etc that we have been blessed with, for others to purchase for a donation.

Please contact the church office on 83896069 if you know of someone who could be supported through this group.
