It is a co-educational [Lutheran college](/source/Lutheran_Church_of_Australia), catering for Kindergarten to Year 10. ELC has approximately 400 students.[1] When St Peter's Lutheran school was relocated to Warrane, it expanded to become a primary and secondary school under the current name.[2] ## History ### Eastside Drive-In Built on former farmland, a [drive-in cinema](/source/Drive-in_theater) designed by Cheesman Doley Brabham & Neighbour architects opened as the *Eastside Drive-In* on the site in 1966. Accommodating 418 cars, the screen measured 330 square metres (3,600 sq ft) in size, then the largest in Australia. The [Australian Red Cross](/source/Australian_Red_Cross) received all the revenues from the opening picture, *[The Sound of Music](/source/The_Sound_of_Music_(film))* starring [Julie Andrews](/source/Julie_Andrews). The drive-in was highly profitable in the years following the [Tasman Bridge disaster](/source/Tasman_Bridge_disaster), which separated the eastern shore from the [Hobart CBD](/source/Hobart_CBD). After 18 years of operation, [Village Cinemas](/source/Village_Cinemas) shut down the venue in 1984. The former projection room and café survives as part of the Eastside Lutheran College, housing the institution's administrative offices.[3] ### Establishment of the college Eastside Lutheran College (originally named St Peter's Lutheran School) was established in 1982 by St Peter's Lutheran Church in [Hobart](/source/Hobart).[2] ELC was originally located in the home next to the original Lutheran church in [Davey Street](/source/Davey_Street%2C_Hobart). In 1985, when student enrolment numbers increased, ELC moved to its new property on the eastern shore of the [Derwent River](/source/River_Derwent_(Tasmania)) and became known as Eastside Christian School Lindisfarne. By the end of 2002, the school moved towards a secondary curriculum. In November 2004, it was decided to change the name from Eastside Christian School to Eastside Lutheran College. The college is affiliated with the [Lutheran Church of Australia](/source/Lutheran_Church_of_Australia) and is supported by Lutheran Education Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania.[2] ## House system As with most Tasmanian schools, Eastside Lutheran College utilises a [house system](/source/House_system). The college houses are: - Bass – gold - Flinders – green - Mawson – blue These house teams are used in school sport events, including the primary school swimming carnival, college sports carnival, and cross country. ## Co-curriculum Eastside Lutheran College offers a variety of co-curriculum programs.
