Our School

Declaration of Purpose

With Jesus at the heart of our school, we come together as a welcoming community of learners, where everyone belongs, to foster and grow a lifelong love of learning. Manifested by works of unconditional love and respect, and in partnership with parents, families and the Church, all members of our community are supported and encouraged to flourish in the light of Christ. We hold high expectations for the development and enrichment of the whole child so that they contribute to a more just, merciful and loving world.

Living our Purpose

With Jesus at the heart of our relationships, we companion our students in their growth to fullness of life. Our community relationships are characterised by inclusivity, humility, wonder, curiosity, forgiveness, love, respect and understanding, so that each child may grow to their potential, and contribute to the Kingdom that is to come.

Student Declaration of Purpose

At Saints Peter and Paul, we are a community of curious learners who are loving, kind and welcoming.

 We aim to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.

We try our best each day to make a difference in the world.

Our history: Celebrating over 50 years

Sts Peter and Paul Primary School’s rich history began in 1968 before forming the Parish of the Transfiguration in 1994 with sister school Holy Trinity, Curtin. The Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth, an international apostolic congregation, served the school for almost thirty years. Their founder, Francis Siedliska had a vision of charity and this is the inspiration for the sisters' life and service. Until the end of 1995, the Principal of the school was provided from the Congregation.

Classes began on 28 January 1968 in the borrowed premises of the Hughes Community Centre and moved into the newly built school two weeks later. The school was blessed and opened by Archbishop Thomas Cahill and the Hon. Malcom Fraser, Minister for Education and Science on 1 September 1968.
