Welcome!
A message from the Principal
St Peter’s Cross Country
Our Cross Country event was held today, with the Year 5/6 students kicking off the race and then supporting the rest of the school during their runs. A big congratulations to all students who participated – it was an outstanding effort from everyone! Well done to those who gave their best, and a special shout-out to those who achieved top results.
Bush Dance & Learning Expo
Tomorrow is an exciting day with both our Learning Expo and St Peter’s Bush Dance! The Bush Dance has been a highlight for the past couple of years, and we are thrilled to host it again. Students will work with the Bush Dance band throughout the day, and then we will open up the classrooms from 4:30 pm to 5:15 pm. This will be a great opportunity for students to take their families through their classrooms and showcase their learning.
The pizza dinner will be served from 5:00 pm onwards, and the dancing will begin at 5:30 pm. Families are invited to join in the fun until 6:30 pm. We hope to see you there!
To help us organise the pizza dinner, please complete the RSVP via SimonEverywhere with your family’s details and your intention of attending, along with any dietary requirements. We hope to see you all there!

Easter Term Holidays
Students will return for Term 2 on Monday, 28th April. This extended holiday period allows staff from the Sandhurst Diocese to participate in professional learning sessions with distinguished educational speakers from around the world. Please mark these dates on your calendar if you haven’t already.
Year 5/6 Camp
In the second week of next term, our Year 5/6 students will be heading off to Log Cabins Creswick for their school camp. The camp will take place from Monday, 5th May to Tuesday, 6th May.
This camp offers an exciting opportunity for students to engage in a variety of fun and challenging activities, building teamwork, confidence, and a deeper connection with nature. We are sure it will be a memorable experience for all involved, filled with great moments and learning opportunities. We look forward to hearing all about the adventure when they return!
