Good News Lutheran College was featured in the Herald Sun on Friday, 21 November 2025, in an article titled “Australia’s Top 100 public and private schools get NAPLAN boost as migrant enrolments soar – explore the data” (page 10 of the print version of the Herald Sun paper under title ‘Migrant kids excelling – They are flocking to our top schools’).
The article highlighted the strong demand for schools in Melbourne’s growth corridors from migrant families seeking communities that reflect their values and aspirations. Principal Fiona McAuliffe was quoted, noting that Good News Lutheran College is “experiencing rapid growth as more families move into Melbourne’s fast-growing western corridor.”
A GNLC parent, Amanbir, who has enrolled three children at the College (Gurshaan in Grade 1, Gurveen in Grade 3, and Gurnaz in Year 9), shared: “We chose the college when we moved to the area as the values aligned with what we believe, especially showing gratitude for all the gifts we have. We like that they learn to be disciplined and show respect for the rules alongside a strong academic focus.”
The feature also included comments from Independent Schools Victoria CEO Rachel Holthouse, who noted that the independent sector is experiencing strong demand, particularly in Melbourne’s growth corridors, as migrant families seek schools and communities that reflect their values and aspirations.
This positive media coverage showcases Good News Lutheran College’s commitment to providing quality Christian education that welcomes families of diverse backgrounds while maintaining our core values of grace, respect, integrity and courage.
