History
FLCR was originally established as a primary school. It was originally named Redlands Lutheran Primary School, and was built at the Link Road campus on land acquired by the Redlands Lutheran Parish from Wally Hauser, a farmer and member of the parish, who used the land for growing fruit and vegetables. It was officially opened on 24 January 1982 by David Jull, Federal Member of Parliament. It was the first independent Christian school to be established in the then Redlands Shire.[2] In its first year, it had seventy-one students enrolled across years one to four. It soon came to be known as Faith Lutheran Primary School, because of its proximity to Faith Lutheran Church at Redland Bay. The first Year seven cohort graduated in 1984, when the student population was 161. A preschool was commenced in 1996, the student population then being 215. This was later renamed "Prep" in 2006, following the naming standard set by Education Queensland.[2][3]
In 1997, planning commenced to expand the primary school into a P-12 college. In 1999, the School Council's initial application to commence secondary application was unsuccessful. Despite this, and assisted by the Parish, the School purchased the land at Beveridge Road in October 2000, which at that time was used as a yam farm and Shetland pony stud farm. In 2001, despite objections from many state and independent schools in the area, approval was gained to start secondary schooling, and the newly renamed Faith Lutheran College, Redlands began teaching Year eight students in 2003 at the Link Road campus. Building had commenced at the Beveridge Road campus, and it commenced operation in October 2003, ahead of its official opening on February 8, 2004. At that time, the college's enrollment was 548 students. FLCR graduated its first cohort of Year twelve students at the end of 2007, at which time there were 880 students enrolled.[2]
