Friday 9 June 2023
God of mercy and compassion,
We praise you for your goodness.
May your will be done on earth
As it is in heaven.
Fill us with the spirit of loving service
As we recognise in those we meet
The face of Jesus your Son.
Through the generous work of our
Lifelink welfare agencies.
May burdens be lifted from the
shoulders of your people,
And may they feel the warmth of
your kindness and love.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
Message from the Principal
STAFFING UPDATE - At the end of this term, we will be farewelling four staff members:
Ms Kayla Anzellino, Mrs Cassandra Visser, Mrs Tracy Arnold and Mrs Sophie Stajka.
In Week 10, this term, we are excited to welcome Miss Alessia Fraser to Year 1W. Alessia will be replacing Mrs Cassandra Visser for the next six months, as Cassandra begins her maternity leave.
I am also pleased to advise that Mrs Tahlia Gismondi will be commencing in Pre Kindy in Semester Two to replace Ms Kayla Anzellino as she leaves St Peter’s to welcome her second child.
Congratulations to Mrs Tracy Arnold on her appointment as the new Finance Officer at
St Simon Peter Catholic Primary School in Ocean Reef. Tracy has been an integral part of the St Peter's team for nearly four years. I cannot thank Tracy enough for the hard work and dedication she has put into the St Peter's finances, to ensure we are in a well-grounded position for our future build. We will definitely miss Tracy's efficiency, reliability and thoughtfulness. I wish Tracy all the best on her new adventure!
Congratulations to Mrs Sophie Stajka on her appointment as the Year Four teacher at
Holy Rosary Catholic Primary School in Doubleview. Sophie will remain at St Peter's until the end of term and commence her new job next semester. Sophie has been part of the St Peter's community for seven years and I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Sophie for her hard work and commitment. She has been a great part of the St Peter's team and I thank her for the valuable contributions she has made to our school. I wish Sophie all the best for her new role at Holy Rosary!
UNIFORM UPDATE - Last week, the leadership team met with a representative from Uniform Concepts to discuss the timeline of our updated logo being embroidered on the new maroon polo tops. I am pleased to share that these new polo tops will be available towards the second half of Term 3. Once they are available for purchase, we will send communication to the community.
As mentioned at our last P&F meeting, Uniform Concepts will be introducing elasticated ties as an additional option to the current standard ties available. The new ties will be available later this year. Regarding the faction polo shirts, at this point in time, they will not be available until 2024.
Please remember that commencing in 2024, there will be a three-year transition phase for our new uniform, so there is not an expectation for families to purchase the new uniform immediately.
REPORT CHANGES - This year, the layout of our school reports is changing.
St Peter’s Primary School are updating our reports to align with the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) Pre Primary - Year 10: Teaching, Assessing and Reporting Policy. Our school will ensure that assessments enable students to demonstrate their knowledge, understandings and skills in relation to the year-level achievement standard. Report descriptors will no longer appear on the St Peter’s Mid-Year Report and End of Year Report. Communication to parents regarding the content being covered in the classroom will continue to be shared via the classroom weekly newsletter as well as Seesaw.
If you would like to hear more about the reporting changes, we are holding a Reporting Parent Information Night on Wednesday 21 June at 6pm.
Please RSVP via the link below by Monday 19 June - https://bit.ly/3NiADbG
PARENT AND CARERS’ LITERACY WORKSHOP - On Tuesday 20 June at 9am and 5:30pm, Mrs Angela Seal (Literacy Teaching/Learning and Support Coordinator) will be running a Literacy Worksop for parents and carers. These interactive workshops cover instruction on how to assist children with Reading and Spelling learning. They provide parents and care givers with a common language and a clear understanding of the teaching practices and specific approaches to assist learning used at St Peter’s School.
Please indicate your expression of interest via the link below by Monday 19 June, indicating the workshop session you would like to attend. Please note sessions must have a minimum of 10 participants to go ahead. Depending on numbers, workshops will be confirmed by Monday 19 June.

RECONCILIATION - Last week, our students received the Sacrament of Reconciliation over two beautiful Masses. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is an ongoing Sacrament of healing that recognises that sometimes we make poor choices that lead us away from God. Through Reconciliation, we are forgiven and we restore our relationship with God and we can experience the healing power of God’s forgiveness.
These children are now one step closer to being fully nourished in their faith as they prepare to receive the Body and Blood of Christ next year when they will receive the Sacrament of First Holy Communion.
LIFELINK - On Wednesday, Mr Nettleton and Mrs Caputi accompanied Jayda Verona, Cristian Parrella, Cleo Firth and Ellie Ryan, all members of the Spiritual Ministry, to the official launch of LifeLink Day 2023.
LifeLink Day provides a wonderful opportunity for students attending Catholic schools within the Archdiocese of Perth to join together to show their support for the Church’s social service agencies – agencies which on behalf of us all, reach out to provide practical care and direct assistance to thousands of people in need each year. This will be the focus for our fundraising this term, and it will be directly linked to the upcoming St Peter’s Mission Day.
For further information regarding LifeLink, please visit the website at: https://lifelink.com.au
MISSION DAY - St Peter’s Feast Day Mass will be held on Friday 30th June in the Undercover Area, led by our Year One students. Families are most welcome to attend. Our Mission Day stalls and activities will follow the Mass. More information to come over the next few weeks.
