St Luke's Anglican School is founded upon the Anglican ethos, and values genuine commitment to learning, achievement, personal growth, and service to the community. To this end, faith is a vital part of our School, developed and nurtured by a Chaplaincy team consisting of the School Chaplain, the Director of Community and Service, the Youth Minister, and the Services Club.

Our Chaplaincy team provides students with opportunities to explore and develop their faith through Ethics and Faith lessons, Worship, and Eucharist services. Weekly Worship involves community participation in prayers, Scripture readings, and songs, with parents invited to join. Additionally, a weekly Eucharist service is available for students, staff, and parents.
The Chaplaincy team also emphasises Service, encouraging students to engage in supportive actions such as fundraising, charity work, and visiting aged care residents. By promoting the values of Faith, Performance, and Honour, St Luke's aims to nurture socially responsible, caring individuals committed to the principles of the Anglican faith.
