Our Good News Lutheran College Mambourin campus will open in 2025, however we will begin delivering classes to Prep and Year 1 students in 2023 at our Tarneit campus.
Our community is growing and we’re growing with it!
Due to strong and sustained demand for places at all year levels, Good News Lutheran College is thrilled to announce that we have opened a new campus.
The campus will enable more students from Melbourne’s fast-growing west to experience a Good News education, grounded in faith, purpose and our values of grace, integrity, courage and respect.
This is the
start of an exciting journey for Good News Lutheran College and the wider
Wyndham Vale community.
Good News Lutheran College Mambourin commenced in 2023 with a limited number of Prep and Year 1 classes.
In 2023 and 2024, students enrolled at Good News Lutheran College Mambourin will undertake their classes at the Tarneit campus while the Mambourin facilities are being constructed.
Classes on site at the Mambourin Campus will commence in 2025, for students from Prep – Year 6.
The Mambourin campus will introduce year level classes on a phased basis. This strategy is based on projected demand for student places in the region, as well as management of waiting lists.
