- School community council parent forum meetings
- Website and email
- Facebook page
School camps
At Sts Peter and Paul, we value the benefits that school camps provide. We strive to engage our students in supportive environments that assist them to succeed and grow.
School camps aim to foster independence, self-confidence, leadership skills, as well as building relationships and community spirit.
Our Year 6 and Year 5 students embark on a three-day camp have recently introduced an overnight camp for our Year 4 students and a day camp for our Year 3s.
School canteen
The school Canteen is open on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings for first break (lunch). Lunch orders are placed via the Qkr! app. Children can also purchase selected items over the counter from 11.10am until 11.30am using a voucher purchased via Qkr!
Special Lunch Orders are held one to two times a term, where a set menu is offered to students. Special lunch orders are placed via Qkr! No counter sales or other lunch orders will be available on that day.
Qkr! is a pay-as-you-go system which does not require parents to top up their accounts.
Uniform Shop
The uniform Shop is a service for the parents and children. We sell new and quality second-hand school clothing, and all money raised goes back to the school to provide resources for the children.
The Uniform Shop is open Tuesday mornings between 8.30am and 9.30am for face-to-face purchases of new and second-hand clothing.
Home learning
Home learning consists of:
- Nightly reading
- 10 minutes of literacy and numeracy consolidation three nights per week, as suggested by class teachers
- Occasional project work in the upper grades
In 2017, parents were surveyed on the effects of homework to help us evaluate the performance of our home learning policy.
