LIFE-WIDE LEARNING ‘THE WHOLE CHILD, THE WHOLE POINT’

In educating the whole person, St Peters offers a cocurricular program that provides each student with opportunities for participation, growth and personal excellence. Engagement in cocurricular activities provides students with experiences to build self-esteem and confidence; learn about commitment, persistence and teamwork; enjoy a healthy approach to life; enhance skills; be creative, imaginative and develop an awareness of the aesthetic; assume leadership roles; respond to challenges; be self-disciplined and develop a sense of service and responsibility towards others.

Strategic Intent - Promote an enriching holistic education and student experience that challenges and nurtures the spiritual, academic, physical, emotional and social character of each student empowering them to lead and serve their communities and make a difference in the world. Strategic Initiatives: In order to achieve our Intent we will - 1. Expand the range of and access to cocurricular learning opportunities available to students. 2. Build on the Ironbark experience in order to maximise its impact on student development.
