Faith the bedrock of Lutheran education

By Ivy Peng | 0 comment | Categories: Malaysia Peninsula, Schools

“But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations” – Psalm 33:11 Visiting Australia from Malaysia, we were reminded of this verse as we marvelled at and soaked in the rich heritage of the early Lutherans, who migrated to South Australia and established families, churches and schools […]

Living out their Christian calling

By Anne Maczkowiack | 0 comment | Categories: Papua New Guinea, Schools, Volunteers and Supporters

Life has many twists and turns, and as I recently discovered, even U-turns. In 1986 we left Papua New Guinea after 7 years, during which time my husband worked in the Yangpela Didiman (agricultural) program. The PNG chapter of our lives seemed closed. Thus, it was a great surprise in 2018 when I was approached […]

Global Connections – How we teach and Learn

By Craig Chidgey | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Schools

Have you ever considered what education is like in other parts of the world? What would a classroom full of students look like in Kenya, Finland, India, Brazil or Indonesia? What style of teaching and learning occurs in these classrooms? What is considered to be successful in teaching and learning practices? The crux of considering […]

By Craig Chidgey | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Schools

When did you last do something for someone that made a positive difference in their lives?

Growing through Service to others

By Robyn Teakle | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia, Schools

The idea of service to others is doing something and expecting nothing in return. I believe that this is how we embarked on or first Service Learning Trip to Indonesia this year. It was probably also a case of not really knowing what to expect in return but we certainly knew what we could give. […]

Coming as a guest into people’s lives

By Grant Wildman | 0 comment | Categories: Cambodia, Schools

I sit here reading and being inspired by an email that has just arrived from our current crop of Year 11 students and staff reporting back from their first 3 days in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It is sparking lots of memories, and a strong feeling of familiarity that comes from repeat visits to a place […]
