We offer a safe Christian environment that endeavours to provide a diverse learning environment that nurtures mutual respect, love and care.
Our school is unique as it is a small school with small class sizes and a low pupil-to-teacher ratio. This allows us to devote the most time possible to each student and contributes to the sense of family within our school. Our classrooms are well-equipped with updated resources including a fleet of modern laptops and iPads, allowing students one-to-one access to these devices. Touchscreen televisions in each classroom are well utilised in our teaching and learning activities.
At St Peter's Lutheran Primary School we have a rigorous and challenging curriculum. Our experienced and carefully appointed teachers have a wide range of expertise, skills, and knowledge which we have incorporated into our broad and stimulating curriculum.
Last Friday, students enjoyed a special Feel Good Friday, with a focus on wellbeing, fun and spending time together. Students rotated through a range of activities including making their own mini pizzas, mindfulness colouring, yoga and using a smoothie bike, where they had to pedal to power the blender and make their smoothie.
After completing the wellbeing activities, students enjoyed their freshly made mini pizzas for lunch. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to try something different, spend positive time with their peers and focus on their wellbeing.
A big thank you to Hindmarsh Shire for lending us the smoothie bike and helping make the day extra special.
Our Junior students enjoyed a visit to the Primary School Kindergarten last week. It was a lovely opportunity for students to spend time with the kindergarten children and educators, participate in shared activities and continue building positive relationships.
These visits are also a wonderful chance for our students to be out and about in our local community, strengthening connections with others and becoming more familiar with the people and places around them.
Last week, our students joined in recognising Red Nose Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness and supporting the important work of Red Nose Australia.
Each student received a red nose to wear as we took the opportunity to talk about the meaning behind the day and why supporting causes such as this is so important.
Our recent chapel offerings have also been donated to support Red Nose Day, allowing our school community to contribute to the valuable work being done to support families.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed through our chapel offerings and helped us support this important cause.
Thank you to all of our families who attended Parent Teacher Interviews last week. We really appreciate you taking the time to meet with teachers and discuss your child's learning, progress and goals.
These conversations are an important part of working together to support our students, and we value the opportunity to strengthen the partnership between home and school.
Thank you also to our staff for the time and preparation that went into making the interviews a positive and valuable experience for families.
As our Hot Food Fridays come to an end for the year, we would like to say a huge thank you to all of our families for your wonderful support, donations and contributions throughout Terms 2 and 3.
Hot Food Friday is always something our students look forward to, and particularly during the cooler months, it is lovely for them to be able to enjoy a warm lunch together at school.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped make Hot Food Fridays possible, whether through donating ingredients, preparing food or supporting the lunches each fortnight. All money raised through Hot Food Fridays goes directly back into our school, helping us to strengthen and improve the resources available for our students.
Our final Hot Food Friday will be held on the last day of term, with students enjoying fish fingers, nuggets and chips for lunch. A note with further information and ordering details will be sent home with students closer to the date.
Thank you once again for your generosity and continued support.
The end of Term 3 is approaching quickly, with our final day of term on Friday, 18 September.
To finish the term, we will be holding a Footy Colours Day. Students are invited to come dressed in the colours of their favourite football team and bring along a gold coin donation, with all money raised going towards the Fight Against Cancer Appeal.
Please also note that school will finish early at 2:15 pm on this day.
It is hard to believe we are already nearing the end of another busy term, and we look forward to finishing Term 3 with a fun day together while supporting a very worthwhile cause.
Have a wonderful weekend,
