Immanuel Lutheran College (ILC) is a co-educational Christian private school in Buderim, a suburb of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. Since its opening in 1979, the College enrolment has grown from 63 students to over 870, ranging from Kindergarten (Prep) to Year 12. Every year it also hosts a number of exchange students from sister schools in Germany and Japan. These are catered for by host families and by the College. The school boasts a large number of musical ensembles which, as well as providing a high standard of musical entertainment for the local community, have also consistently won major awards in state-wide competitions. The College campus occupies a large, wooded and picturesque site on the lower slopes of Buderim Mountain, a short distance from the famous surfing beaches of Mooloolaba and Alexandra Headland.
