Supporting Defence Families

Recognising the challenges faced by children and defence families, Good Shepherd Lutheran College has partnered with the Australian Defence Force (ADF) in the Defence School Mentor Program to provide support to dependents of ADF members. 

This program aims to foster the wellbeing of serving members' children – the Defence School Mentor (DSM) plays a crucial role in linking children with the school community. They organise events and other activities to help children form connections and build relationships. Additionally, they work to educate the school community about the specific needs of military families. The DSM meets regularly with students and provides support when defence parents are away from home due to exercises and deployments.

If you're relocating to Darwin due to a defence posting, Good Shepherd Lutheran College is here to assist families in adapting to this major transition. Our dedicated teachers, Heads of School, and senior staff are committed to providing individualised support to help children settle into their new school environment as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes, when posted, we expect support but don't always get it...Good Shepherd delivered way more than ever promised and our children are benefitting enormously. This school is at the cutting edge of many initiatives and is one to be watched - thanks for supporting Defence families and more, we wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
