Lord, help us to live in the gladness and grace of Easter Sunday, every day. Let us have hearts of thankfulness for your sacrifice. Amen
Let us have eyes that look upon your grace and rejoice in our salvation.
Help us to walk in that mighty grace and tell your good news to the world.
Message from the Principal
PARENT - TEACHER INTERVIEWS - At St Peter’s, we firmly believe that education is a shared responsibility. It is not just the teachers and staff who shape your child's learning experience, but it is also you, the parents, who play a significant role in their development. By working together, we can create a positive and successful partnership that will benefit our children's growth in both academics, behaviour, socially and emotionally.
Thank you to all our parents for coming in over the past week for Parent -Teacher Interviews. Our interviews are a great opportunity to maintain a positive partnership between home and school, to ensure consistency, as we work together in your child’s development. Moving forward, if you have any concerns throughout the year about your child’s education, the first point of call is the classroom teacher.
Thank you to our dedicated classroom teachers for meeting with every parent over the past few weeks to discuss student progress throughout Term One.
HARMONY WEEK - Thank you to all our families who participated in our Harmony Day activities throughout last week. This was a great opportunity to recognise the diversity within our school and to celebrate our various backgrounds.
Harmony Week is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values. As a multicultural school, it is important to celebrate our diversity, as well as educate our students to respect the individuality and uniqueness of every person.
PARENT COMMUNICATION - If you have any concerns regarding a social interaction between students, or the behaviour of a student in your child’s class, please contact the classroom teacher. Recently, we have had some parents contact other parents directly, resulting in stories being misconstrued. Our classroom teachers provide a safe and inclusive learning environment, where all students are treated equally. Teachers are then able to provide parents with honest feedback regarding any events that occur during the school day. Should you have any concerns regarding your child, please contact the classroom teacher as a first point of contact.
SWIMMING CARNIVAL - On Monday 18 March, our Year 4-6 students were involved in the St Peter’s Swimming Carnival at Bayswater Waves. The carnival was a great opportunity for students to display our school’s TRUE Values. Students were competitive in their events, but then genuinely excited and happy for the success of their friends and opponents. I would like to thank
Miss Eliza Hardie for organising a well-run and successful carnival, with a range of events that catered for all abilities. Congratulations to all our competitors for their participation and great sportsmanship! Please see below in Sport News for records and a list of champions!
STATIONS OF THE CROSS - This year, the Year 5 students worked incredibly hard to direct, act, film, edit, narrate and recreate the Stations of the Cross in a digital format. On Wednesday 27 March, classes joined with their buddy class at staggered intervals throughout the day to take a journey around the school to view each station.
The Stations of the Cross reflect upon Jesus’ last day before being crucified on the cross. Jesus carried the burden of his cross and faced ridicule and tormenting from many in the crowd. He was unjustly condemned and yet still found the strength to carry on and make the ultimate sacrifice so we could live.
Each station's short film was a product of the Year 5 students’ creativity and reminds us of the suffering and sacrifice Jesus endured for the salvation of mankind. Every station was marked with a wooden cross, signage and a QR code to access the short film. The senior buddy class used their iPads to scan each QR code to watch a short video before working together with their junior buddy to illustrate and reflect on the Stations of the Cross.
The Stations of the Cross is a good opportunity to reflect on how we can look for hope, forgive and withstand suffering just as Jesus did.
ANZAC DAY - Please note, in early Term Two, Thursday 25 April is the ANZAC Day Public Holiday and Friday 26 April is a Pupil Free Day.
I would like to wish all our St Peter’s family a safe and blessed Easter. We look forward to welcoming you all back to school for Term Two on Monday 15 April wearing full winter uniform.

The Project Compassion Easter Raffle has been a huge success. Our St Peter’s community UNITY has come together to help thousands of individuals around the world who are in need of fresh water, obtaining food, get to school or simply to survive.
The aim of Project Compassion is to create a better tomorrow for all future generations. This year, we raised over $1800!!
A huge thank you to our Year Six families for donating the chocolate, and to the Year Six teachers and students for co-ordinating the raffle.
Congratulations to all the winners!! Have a wonderful, relaxing and safe Easter.
