Message from the Principal 

Welcome to Week 9 of Term 3

What a whirlwind of a term! We started with our swimming program and ended with a fabulous Art Show! So much has happened in between. I hope you can see the growth in learning in your children that our teachers are seeing. Our ongoing monitoring, especially in Maths and English, has shown some amazing growth this term! Thank you to our staff for all their hard work and commitment to ensuring the best possible environment for growth and progress to happen. I hope all staff have a well-deserved rest and are able to recharge their batteries!

Art Show

What a fantastic event on Tuesday! Thank you to those families who braved the weather to view an amazing St Peter's Art Show!

To Angelene Longano, our Art teacher. Thank you! The vision in designing the elements of what will be displayed has been evident from the beginning of the year, as our students have been inspired to complete so much wonderful work. It is amazing what can be achieved in 60 minutes per week! 

To all staff who have supported and encouraged Angelene throughout the year - thank you!

Our Year 6 Arts Leaders - Haley, Clare, Bhavishya, Esther and Heshanya designed the posters to advertise our event. Thank you to our Year 6 leaders. 

Most importantly of all, thank you to our students for expressing themselves so creatively.  

We recognised one student from each year level for their efforts and work in Visual Art this year.

Congratulations to :

• Foundation: Zara 
• Year 1: Aaron 
• Year 2: Gurfateh 
• Year 3: Chloe 
• Year 4: Ian 
• Year 5: Aradhana 
• Year 6: Esther 

2026 Planning

We are excitedly planning for 2026 - camps are booked, concert preparation is in the initial stages and of course our building project which should finish in the middle of the year.

We are looking forward to welcoming everyone back to St Peter's next year, but if your family is relocating and will not be returning please let us know as soon as possible.
