“I have developed so much from LSWW and I have got to thank LSWW for all the events and all the things that we have done at school. One of my strengths I developed at LSWW is Maths, I am really good at it now. My confidence has also improved as I never used to put my hand up in class but now I do. A skill that I also achieved at my time with LSWW has to be in sport. Since I was younger, sport has always been something that I have loved. My time at LSWW has been fantastic!” - Jonny, Class of 2021

"Lutheran School has helped me to grow and be more confident. I never used to put my hand up in class unless I knew I was correct but now I am willing to make mistakes because I know that you have to make them to learn. Also, because I am more confident it made me a better House Vice-Captain as I could lead cheers at carnivals. Now I am not as worried about making speeches or trying new things. I love being more confident. So thank you Lutheran for helping me come out of my shell." - Sophie, Class of 2021

"Lutheran School Wagga Wagga taught me how to become more organised, especially when we get lots of assignments. I could get my work done quicker in the time limit, instead of leaving it for the last minute. LSWW has also helped me to open up more, because I would normally never put my hand up because I would think that I would get the answer wrong whereas now I am happy to speak out more in class. Thank you to Lutheran for everything you have done for me." - Nikita, Class of 2021

"Some opportunities Lutheran School has given me is to try different things I don’t usually do.

I am grateful for the opportunities Lutheran has given me which has made me the person I am today." - Max, Class of 2021

This has helped me to feel more comfortable in sharing my ideas in group work in the classroom. Being a leader of a Peer Support group helped me to develop patience, as the children didn't quite understand and had to explain it to the children the way that they would understand so they could do the task. It made me understand that they can't get it straight away and they need time to do the task. ” - Luke, Class of 2021
