INTRODUCING GOOD SHEPHERD LUTHERAN COLLEGE DSM KATHLEEN COBBAN Meet Kathleen Cobban, our Defence School Mentor. Kathleen and her family have been part of the defence family community for almost 10 years. She has four children and a wide understanding of the ups and downs that come with the lifestyle of moving around the country, changing schools and being away from family. It can be an unsettling and stressful process when making frequent moves and having to find your feet in a new location. Kathleen’s role is to aid in this process and help students and their families integrate into their new community as they transition into a new school. She provides access to support programs; being an advocate and welcoming ear for those who are living with the challenges of the lifestyle such as dealing with parental deployment, training exercises and unaccompanied postings. Kathleen’s personal experience with those challenges meant that choosing the right school for her children was an important task. She found Good Shepherd Lutheran College and its community the perfect fit for her family. She is now able to share information about this vital service to other defence families in the same situation. The College has outstanding Early Learning Centres at each campus. • Howard Springs Campus (Corner Whitewood Road & Kundook Place) – Early Learning Centre to Year 12 • Leanyer Campus (94 Leanyer Drive) – Early Learning Centre to Year 5 • Palmerston Campus (Corner Emery Avenue & Temple Terrace) – Early Learning to Year 5 (with Little Lambs Play Group) CONTACT: 8983 0300 admin@goodshepherd.nt.edu.au goodshepherd.nt.edu.au GOOD SHEPHERD LUTHERAN COLLEGE Good Shepherd provides each student with the opportunity to learn in a safe and caring environment and provide a program of educational excellence. It is an International Baccalaureate World School, offering the Primary and Middle Years’ Programmes. It has an exemplary Senior Years Program and renowned Year 12 annual success – Northern Territory Certificate of Education and Training (NTCET). Good Shepherd equips students with the means to flourish in their learning and go on to flourish in their life. It is a Christian school, which appreciates each child’s individual strengths, and is committed to helping parents nurture their child’s growth, development and wellbeing. The College’s three Junior Schools provide strong academic grounding with a focus on literacy and numeracy. Through the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IBPYP), the students are prepared for a global and rapidly changing world where skills such as being critical and creative thinkers, inquirers, problem solvers and good communicators are necessary. The learning experience for students from Years 6 – 10 within the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IBMYP) can be described as an education of the heart, head and hands. Good Shepherd provides rigorous, challenging and inquiry-based classroom experiences that empower each learner to engage in responsible service and action within their community. Year 11 students are offered the choice of selecting the Career Acceleration Pathway (trade-based) or the Pretertiary pathway (further study) of the Northern Territory Certificate of Education and Training (NTCET). Both pathways are tailored to individual student needs and aspirations. Both are challenging and rewarding, preparing students for their future career directions. Year 12 students continue study in their chosen pathway, supported by caring, quality teaching and learning approaches. “Good Shepherd is my home away from home” – Palmerston Campus Student 20 The Top Ender | Tri-Services Magazine Incorporated
