Learners of Tomorrow
Staying at the forefront of technology is essential in today’s fast-paced learning climate and St Peter’s Girls’ School is a trailblazer in the field.
Saints Girls are thriving in stateof-the-art spaces designed for the learners of tomorrow including our leading-edge Science Centre, multiuse Maker Space and industrystandard Media Hub. With pursuits ranging from coding and robotics to 3D printing and drone piloting, our girls have the tech world at their feet.
To support essential digital learning tools such as laptops and tablets, the School recently completed a major IT infrastructure refresh incorporating a significant upgrade to our wireless network and the provision of 24/7 uninterrupted system access.
On the curriculum front, innovative elective subjects at Year 10 such as Film Production (including Certificate III in Screen and Media) and space design enterprise ‘Mission to Mars’ reflect our commitment to STEM and the rapidly-changing world around us.
In fact, our creative approach to STEM teaching in Year 10 has been recognised with our inclusion on The Educator’s list of Innovative Schools.
Our offerings have resulted in much success. In recent years, various teams of girls have claimed top prizes in prestigious competitions such as the Microsoft AI for Good Challenge, Shark Tank eSchool and REA’s Space in Schools Program.
Another STEM highlight is our annual Girls in Tech Expo, where students from local primary schools join our girls for a day of interactive workshops covering coding, Artificial Intelligence, drone technology and more.
These initiatives have elevated the School’s standing as an educational leader in STEM, with more of our graduates selecting fields such as engineering for their university studies to pursue the careers of tomorrow.
