Testimonials
What our families are saying
Sts Peter and Paul Parent“The school community is very inclusive and welcoming. There are lots of volunteer opportunities to get involved in which makes you feel a real part of the school. You get to know many people from across the school and everyone looks out for one another.”
Sts Peter and Paul Parent“One of the reasons we chose the school is because of the religious values. They really focus on looking after each other and looking out for those less fortunate. Activity sheets come home which are talking about respect and values but it goes beyond that. The school is always raising money and awareness of social issues (like the crazy sock day, St Vincent’s food drive and Bust the Dust). It just becomes the norm to consider others less fortunate which is good.”
Sts Peter and Paul Parent“I love the fact that the school has thought about leadership and has structured a program for the senior students to lead prayers, coordinate assemblies and run reading activities in the younger classes. It gives them a sense of pride and responsibility.”
