Good Shepherd Lutheran College Darwin Motto: Identity, Service, Respect It was David Spike the Pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran congregation in Palmerston and Pastor Dr Joe Strelan who was filling a temporary appointment, who injected the idea of a School out in the rapidly growing Palmerston area into both the congregations of St Andrew’s in Nightcliff and Good Shepherd in Palmerston.

With the first term break occurring at the end of this week there is the danger to hard working Principals that they see it as irrelevant to them. As a result, some Principals feel they are obliged to keep working regardless. Sure, there is “stuff” that has to be done but into this holiday time I think it is important for Principals to set aside some genuine “R and R” time for themselves and to not feel guilty about it.
