The Magic of Community!

It's SHOWTIME! The day we have been anticipating for months has finally arrived. Tonight our cast perform to a packed out Hall in the production of Aladdin Jnr.! This wonderful story reminds us that it’s "what’s on the inside that counts", reflecting our School Value of Kindness and our call to share the love of God through our words and actions.

Over the past eight months, our students have shown incredible dedication, perseverance and teamwork as they have prepared for this production. A heartfelt thank you to our Performing Arts teachers, all staff members, students and families who have contributed so much of their time, talent and support to bring this magical experience to life.

I am immensely proud of our students and look forward to seeing our community come together to celebrate their efforts!

There are still a few seats available for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night. 

Don’t miss out on the magic - book your tickets now!

A special message from Dr Edward SimonsExecutive Director, Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS)

As schools communicate their fees for the coming year, I wanted to take this opportunity to thankyou for your ongoing support of Catholic education and to reaffirm our commitment to keeping Catholic schooling accessible and affordable for families.

Thank you for choosing to be part of our Catholic education community of more than 120,000 young people across the Archdiocese of Melbourne. Today, one in five Victorian families choose aCatholic education, and in the past year alone almost 2,000 additional students have enrolled in a MACS school. Together, we share a commitment to providing an education grounded in faith, where every child is known, valued and inspired to flourish. 

I would also like to acknowledge the significant work undertaken by principals and school leadership teams across MACS as they finalise plans and budgets for the year ahead. Their careful stewardship helps ensure our schools continue to provide outstanding learning opportunities, strong wellbeing support and vibrant faith communities for every student.

Like many families, our schools continue to face rising costs. We know that cost-of-living pressures continue to place strain on household budgets, and we remain committed to keeping school fees as affordable as possible. At the same time, we have a responsibility to attract, support and fairly reward the teachers and staff who make such a profound difference in the lives of our students each day, including maintaining pay parity with their colleagues in government schools.

Across MACS, we continue to review the way we operate, seeking efficiencies and making thoughtful decisions so that resources are directed where they matter most: teaching and learning, student wellbeing and the faith formation of young people.

Thank you for the trust you place in your school and in Catholic education. The continued growth in enrolments across our system is a sign of the confidence families place in Catholic education and the outstanding work of our principals, teachers and staff. 

As we continue to grow, our focus will remain on responsible stewardship, strong partnerships with families and a shared commitment to excellence. In doing so, we can ensure that Catholic education remains strong, sustainable and accessible, offering thriving communities of faith and learning for generations to come.

Please Note: 

2027 Fees for St Peter's will be communicated to families on Friday this week.
