A Special Tree
A special event occurred at the Lutheran School on Friday. Students and teachers gathered to witness the planting of a tree to celebrate 175 years of Lutheran education in Australia.
While our School has only been around for just over 30 years, Lutheran schools in Australia have been going strong since 1839. That year, three Lutheran Schools opened in Adelaide (Piltawodli Lutheran School, Klemzig Lutheran School, and Glen Osmond Lutheran School), one in Hahndorf (St Michael's Lutheran School) and one in Queensland (German Station Lutheran School, Nundah).
A new variety of eucalyptus, a Nullarbor Rose, was chosen to be planted just near the Administration Building, where it can be seen and admired by everyone as they drive into the carpark.
Four people were given the honour of the actual planting of the tree: the School Captains, Meg and Ben, the Chair of the School Board, Michelle Astrup, and School Principal, Ken Albinger.
The Year 5 students also contributed to the event with their own beautiful interpretations of the Tree of Life.
