25.01.2022 Congratulations to Denae who is our Book Fair Raffle winner for 2020.

25.01.2022 A huge 'THANK YOU' to Mr Andrew Fudriga, who has very generously donated his gorgeous wooden puppets to St Peter's Catholic School. The students have been engaged in a Puppetry Unit with Mrs Davis this term, and have made much use of Mr Fudriga's puppets. Mr Fudriga is pictured receiving a 'Thank You' card and small gift from Year Six students, Keira and Jonah. Thanks to Miss Shelley and Mrs Davis for organising.

24.01.2022 Harold visited the Year 5/6 class recently, and students enjoyed his visit. Along with Harold they explored how to respect themselves and others, identifying characteristics of positive relationships. They discussed strategies to help maintain positive online and offline relationships, as well as strategies to respond to unsafe or disrespectful situations.

23.01.2022 Happy birthday to Aaron, Gabriel, Indianna and Gary who will be celebrating their birthdays very soon. We hope each of you will enjoy your special day with family and friends.

22.01.2022 Year 3/4 students did not miss out during our Prep Open Morning. Miss Jayo, our P - 2 teacher, put in an enormous effort to prepare a wide variety of fun activities for the morning. 3/4 thought it was a good idea to make the most of them. Our Year 5/6 students also enjoyed what was on offer, assisting Miss Jayo by packing up.

21.01.2022 On Friday, students designed, created and evaluated their own farms as part of their Design and Technologies unit. Students included a range of features on their farm and worked together collaboratively to do so. They did such a fantastic job, and presented their work to their friends afterwards.

21.01.2022 In Maths, the Year 3/4 class have been learning about mapping and using a compass for directions. They recently had to add a number of locations to a map, including a treasure. They then had to write directions, using compass points, on how to get to the treasure moving through the various locations. Finally they swapped maps with each other and had to follow the directions given by their peer to find the treasure.

21.01.2022 On the last Thursday of Term 3, St Peter's students enjoyed watching the Dance Party presentations created by our very clever students during Digital Technology lessons.

21.01.2022 Garys mum, Natalie, made some yummy treats for Gary to share with his friends during the Capuchin vs Mercy Sports day. They look delicious.

15.01.2022 The key concepts, skills and understanding the Year 3/4 class have been focusing on in HASS this past fortnight, are what people need for survival. Students have been asked to think about human needs and how they are sourced. Food has been examined more closely and information about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples bush medicines has been read and reflected upon. Students have paired up with another student and have been guided in their own research task to create a brochure to share their new knowledge with other members of our school.

15.01.2022 Our Prep Open Morning began full steam ahead, jumping straight into a range of free choice, play based activities. Outside, students and Pre-Preps had opportunities to engage in creative and educational experiences such as painting, reading, letter formation drawing and block building. The most popular experience of the day was most definitely the wide range of messy, sensory play opportunities. Students absolutely loved getting their hands on the slippery water beads, slimy ...and sticky rainbow spaghetti, grainy magic fairy dust and chilly, squishy and sparkly snow. Inside, students listened to Miss Jayo read the well-loved story, The Rainbow Fish. Afterwards, students let their creativity run wild as they created their very own glamorous rainbow fish with sparkly scales. Students and Pre-preps put their fine motor skills to the test as they created beautiful beaded necklaces and bracelets, and also investigated a range of interesting and unique natural materials under a magnifying glass on the light table. As always, the biggest hit within the classroom was the playdough table. Students were very busy playing and getting to know our Pre-Preps, before welcoming them into their games and play on the playground before lunch. We had such a lovely morning, getting to know our new friends and welcoming them into our school community. We hope that they had as lovely a time as we did. We cant wait to see them all at our transition days.

15.01.2022 Students from the Year 3/4 class created beautiful farewell posters for students and staff leaving St Peter's at the end of 2020. What a thoughtful thing to do!

14.01.2022 End of term Box Craft was a hit with the junior students. We had some very creative designs, ranging from sharks to trains and unicorns to cars.

Keep up the wonderful efforts Ava and Sa'Jahn!

14.01.2022 Staff and students enjoyed participating in our whole school Mass this morning with Father Damian. It was a wonderful way to end the week. Well done to Arliyah, as it was her very first time doing altar server duties. Thanks to Aaron, Denae and Father for helping her along. The message this morning was sacrifice, so a big thank you to Mrs Rupp who sacrifices her time each fortnight to set up the Church for our Mass.

11.01.2022 The P - 2 class have been looking at special places in HASS. Recently they looked at maps and how these can give us a lot of important information about the special places in our community. They enjoyed looking at our school and surrounds on Google Earth, and later worked together in groups to create birds eye view maps of the school. Students then presented their maps to their peers.

09.01.2022 Students in Year 3 drew a square metre on the carpet, and constructed a square metre of paper out of scrap paper.

They work collaboratively, writing and drawing the items they discovered in a table in their Maths book. Year 4 have been working with tenths of a metre. They worked as a team to construct a ruler out of scrap paper. They labelled tenths of a metre as they went along.

He is now at Gilroy Santa Maria College and we are glad he chose to come back to his old school to decide whether or not teaching is for him. You are welcome back any time Josh.

01.01.2022 Recently Year 2 students have enjoyed finalising their fairy tale narratives. They have spent a great deal of time planning, writing and editing their work, and thoroughly enjoyed working on it through Google Slideshow. They then searched for and selected images to go with their story before presenting it to the rest of the class. We had some very entertaining fairytales with some pretty cool characters.
