Endeavour College is a Lutheran high school in Mawson Lakes, a northern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. The students are split into 8 villages (Mawson, Spence, Kavel, Mackillop, Florey, Mitchell, Litchfield and Heysen) and each village is split into 3 care groups (E,N and D, the first letters of Endeavour). Subjects taught include Art & Design, Drama, Music, English, German, Japanese, Mathematics, Physical Education, History, Business Studies, Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology), Material Technology, Multimedia, Geography, Christian Living & Home Economics.
The college started its life at Good Shepherd Lutheran School in 1998, with 20 students. It moved to the Mawson Lakes Campus in 1999. Three stages of building have been completed at this site, adjacent to the UniSA Mawson Lakes Campus. Stage 4, the Gymnasium, was completed at the start of 2008, and is now being used. The 10th anniversary was celebrated in 2008. Endeavour College now has around 500 students.
Endeavour College has a newly expanded library, a number of science laboratories, hard technology center, art and design rooms and music rehearsal room. The Endeavour Centre was completed in 2008 and has a gymnasium, basketball court and supporting physical educational activities. Endeavour also incorporates a laptop program beginning in Year Ten, as part of the schools program to achieve a 1:1 student to computer ratio.
Endeavour College has three feeder primary schools: Good Shepherd Lutheran, Golden Grove Lutheran, and St Paul Lutheran. It forms the Lutheran Education Northern Suburbs (LENS), along with the Salisbury Lutheran Kindergarten. It also shares strong links with the other Lutheran Colleges in South Australia: Faith, Immanuel, Cornerstone, Unity and Concordia. Endeavour also attracts students from the nearby public schools of Mawson Lakes, Para Hills and Pooraka.
