What is Lutheran Schools Association of SA & NT Inc

[also serving WA]

 

Lutheran schools and kindergartens in South Australia, Northern Territory and Western Australia are members of the Lutheran Schools Association of South Australia and Northern Territory Incorporated [LSA] and may be either system or associate members.

 

System members received Commonwealth recurrent funding through the Lutheran Schools Association, accept the association as the authority in dealing with the Commonwealth and are the primary, combined and secondary schools in South Australia. The kindergartens in South Australia and the schools in Northern Territory and Western Australia are associate members, which have the same rights and responsibilities as system members with the exception being that these schools have individual funding arrangements with the Commonwealth Government.

 

LSA member schools elect a council to provide support for and general oversight of schools, while committees in the areas of education, Indigenous education, industrial and finance support the work of the council. In addition, in South Australia, the association is responsible for representing school councils in collective bargaining agreements with staff. The council reports to the Lutheran Church of Australia, South Australia/Northern Territory District and to the association, but the relationship of the association with the Lutheran Church of Australia, West Australia District has not yet been defined. A copy of the constitution of the Lutheran Schools Association should be readily available for members of school councils.

 

The Chief Executive Officer of the Lutheran Schools Association is the Director of Lutheran Schools, SA/NT/WA. The Director is responsible for providing regular oversight and support for schools and kindergartens on behalf of the association and the District. Duties of the Director also include that of spokesperson for and to Lutheran schools in the association, upholding the mission of the church, encouragement and support for educational effectiveness, involvement with principal selection and appraisal, the administration of individual schools, and support for the appropriate governance role of councils.

 

In addition to the Director, other officers are employed by the Lutheran Schools Association to staff the Lutheran Schools Office at 137 Archer Street, North Adelaide. An Administrative Officer provides administration support for the Director and works especially in the area of finance and system funding, new school development and the industrial arena. The Professional Development Coordinator is concerned with curriculum issues and the professional development of staff. An Indigenous Education Facilitator provides support for schools in that area. A support staff includes an Executive Assistant to the Director, Finance Officer, as well as secretarial.
