St Peter's Primary School

Almighty and loving God, you who created ALL people in your image,

We place before you the pain and anguish of dispossession of land, language, lore, culture and family kinship that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have experienced.

WA STUDENT ASSISTANCE PAYMENT - As you are aware, Western Australian families with
school-age children are now able to apply for cost-of-living relief payments of $150 for primary and kindergarten students available to help with the extra costs associated with school. Just a reminder that your claim needs to be made before Friday, 28 June 2024.

Please click here WA Student Assistance Payment (education.wa.edu.au) for access to translated information for the Student Assistance Payment.
Your student/s WA Student Number can be found on SEQTA Engage – under the SCSA document (prior to the Easter school holidays, 2024 Kindy and new families received notification to set up their accounts.)

STAFFING UPDATE - At the end of this term, we will be farewelling Mrs Tahlia Gismondi and
Miss Orla Moran.

Next term, we are excited to welcome Mrs Cassandra Visser back to St Peter’s as the classroom teacher for Kindy White. I am also pleased to advise that Miss Maddie Vukinovac will be commencing in Pre Primary Blue next semester, replacing Orla Moran as she commences her maternity leave.

We wish both Tahlia and Orla all the best as the embark on this exciting new journey!

MID-YEAR REPORTS 2024 - All reports will be sent home by close of business on Wednesday 26 June via SEQTA Engage.

Students involved in the A.Q.U.I.N.A.S., Mini Lit, or Macq Lit program will also have an additional report sent as a separate document via SEQTA Engage.

If you are unable to access your child’s report via SEQTA, please email Tammy Hunter at itstpeters@cewa.edu.au

PUPIL FREE DAY - Today, our students enjoyed a Pupil Free Day, where our staff were engaged in a Religious Education PD facilitated by the Catholic Institute of Western Australia.

I hope you enjoy the long weekend with your family! I look forward to welcoming you all back to school on Tuesday 4 June.

Our Early Childhood Build is still on track to be completed at the end of this term. Over the past two weeks the internal painting has continued, the flooring has started to be installed and the kitchen cabinetry is nearing completion.

The landscaping has also commenced with the paving started around the exterior of the building.

LIFELINK - Next Wednesday, some Year Six students will be accompanying Mr Nettleton and
Mrs Caputi at the launch of LifeLink 2024.

My “LifeLink Day for Catholic Schools Initiative” aims to:

• Promote understanding of the Church’s response to people in need within the community.

• Instil in Catholic students attending Archdiocesan Schools a sense of responsibility for caring for those less fortunate.

• Provide education and information of the work of the Church’s social service agencies, which help many thousands of Western Australians in need each year.

• Encourage a “practical demonstration of Faith” by asking students, teachers and schools to organise a special fundraising event for LifeLink Day, with the proceeds aiding people in real need within the community.

This year marks the celebration of the 25 Anniversary since the first ever LifeLink Day for Catholic Schools was held in 1999 and a joint initiative between the Catholic Archdiocese of Perth (LifeLink) and Catholic Education WA (CEWA).

LifeLink will be promoted in classes over the next few weeks.

RECONCILIATION - We had two beautiful Reconciliation Masses this week. A huge congratulations to all students who receive the Sacrament of Penance.

Thank you to our amazing Year 3 teachers who prepared the students so well, and for the time, effort and dedication behind the scenes.

The school is extremely fortunate to have a wonderful relationship with the Parish, and I would like to acknowledge Mrs Marina Tassone for her ongoing commitment to the Sacramental Program. I would also like to extend my thanks to all families who attended the Mass for their reverence.

Congratulations to both Matthew Webb (4W) and Adele Toh (6B) from the A.Q.U.I.N.A.S program for achieving a Certificate of High Distinction in the first Bebras Challenge for 2024.
The Bebras Challenge allows students to use their computational thinking to solve numerous problems on a digital platform. A wonderful result for them both!

We are looking for skilled sewers to help create costumes for our Dance Troupe at the upcoming Performing Arts festival. If you can sew or know of someone who can help us, can you please email me on Katrina.abreu@cewa.edu.au. Thank you for your support! ✨

Thank you for all your help with providing the Performing Arts department pre-loved costumes. The students are having a ball dressing up and role playing with a variety of different costumes. We are now seeking more accessories and props (think plastic phones, baskets, crowns etc). If you have any that are lying around that you were going to throw out, please drop off in a bag to the Dance/Drama room. Thank you!
