Grace Lutheran College (GLC), founded in 1978, is a co-educational, private high school based in Rothwell and Caboolture in Queensland, Australia. Grace Lutheran Primary School is located in Clontarf, approximately a 10-minute drive from the main Grace College Campus at Rothwell. The current Principal is Mr David Radke, who took up the post in 2017 after the school's second Principal, Mrs Ruth Nutler, retired. The college's enrolment at the start of the 2011 school year was over 1800.
Grace Lutheran College is a school belonging to the Lutheran denomination of the Christian faith.
Grace Lutheran College currently enrols students in Years 7–12. Before 2008, the school only enrolled from year 8-12, however Year 7s were incorporated in 2008. This leaves years 7–9 as the middle school and 10–12 as the senior school. 2008 saw the completion of the Caboolture campus of Grace Lutheran College, currently enrolling year 7 to 12 students and was officially opened on 24 May 2008.
Each year, the college pays the entry fees for every one of its students to participate in the University of New South Wales academic competitions in Mathematics, Science, and English; each year the college manages to record a high number of awards for these. Subsequently, various departments allow students to enter academic competitions voluntarily, with the school paying the entry fees for the students to do so.
The college has a Performing Arts department. Each year, Performing Arts students have a variety of plays and productions as part of their course, usually, but not always, including junior and doing senior productions every second year. Every second year, the college also hosts a musical production, which is very popular within the community. Almost all of the production cast and crew are made up of students, with directing taken up by Performing Arts teachers.
Grace Lutheran College has an observatory consisting of a Celestron 14-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope attached to its science block. A 13 m radio telescope for monitoring solar activity is also at the Rothwell campus.
