Every four years Lutheran Education Australia and schools across the country gather. On September 30, they will meet to explore the theme of ‘Transforming mind, body and heart in Lutheran Education‘

“During the conference there will be presentations and opportunities to collaborate with expert contemporary thinkers as well as participate in numerous fellowship activities with like-minded professionals across Lutheran Schools in Australia and other countries. Most of the conference will be held in the state-of-the-art Brisbane Convention Centre in one of Australia’s beautiful cities, Brisbane.”
