Thank you for your feedback regarding our Bus Routes for 2023.  We are aware that a number of families have found it difficult to access convenient bus stops and travel times following the changes that were made and we appreciate your patience as we have worked through possible solutions.

In order to meet the needs of more of our families, please find attached updated route information.

We trust that these changes will assist families in transporting students to school.

These changes will take place beginning Wednesday, 15 February 2023.

• If your child is booked onto the bus and there is no change of pick up / drop off stop required, you do not need to do anything as we will transfer these students to our new bus rolls.
• If your child is booked onto the bus and you would like to change the stop they are using, please email busservice@stpeters.nsw.edu.au with the new stop number.

Mrs Lana Schwigtenberg - OSHC Coordinator

The St Peter’s OSHC team would like to warmly welcome all our families to OSHC for 2023. The children are getting to know our routines and are beginning to make some beautiful connections with one another and the educators.

OSHC is such a unique environment it’s a place where children relax, play and unwind. One of the most important parts of OSHC is socialising.  OSHC caters for children in Pre-K up to Year 6, having an environment with such a diverse age range allows children to develop friendships across our entire school community. This benefits both our older students as they take on a leadership role and develop a sense of responsibility and empathy. Our younger students benefit from spending time with the older students as it builds their self-confidence, communication skills as well as further develops their understanding of friendships. All these skills help the children to build and maintain positive relationships with others.

We would like to sincerely thank you for all of your continued support and patience throughout this difficult period with increasing our attendance capacity. Please know we are currently working on this problem. We understand this is difficult for our families but, we are proud of our Service and we need to ensure we are continuing to provide a service of high quality care for all of the children meeting required staff - student ratios.

The children have been busy over the first two weeks of OSHC engaging on lots of activities. Although we have had some warm days the children have loved their outdoor play. The have had fun playing tennis, handball, golf, parachute play, hockey and using the climbing equipment. 

We have been busy celebrating Chinese New Year through many play and craft activities. Along with many other activities including painting, drawing and colouring while experimenting with a variety of different mediums. The children have also enjoyed building with the construction toys, STEM activities and lots of sensory play including water play, play dough, sand and rice play.

Children are required to bring a hat from home to play outside at OSHC.
Please note that children are unable to wear their walking hats or use their class play hats.

Annually, St Peter’s OSHC work with the Samaritans Purse Operation Christmas Child Organisation. This is such a rewarding experience for the children, they develop an understanding that through their help they can assist others in need. We have been overwhelmed in the past with our family’s support and generosity which enabled us to generously pack 24 shoe boxes and send off to children in need. We will be continuing to work with the organisation again this year. Information on this has been sent home with the children. If you have any questions or did not receive this information, please speak with Mrs Lana Schwigtenberg.

The St Peter’s OSHC Centre reviews and updates our policies regularly to ensure we remain current with the Education and Care Services National Regulations 2011 and the Education and Care Services National Law 2010. During Term 1, the following OSHC policies will be reviewed:

• Prescribed information required to be displayed

Trevor Marriage was the founding Headmaster at St Peter’s Anglican Primary School from 1983 – 1999.

Under his leadership, the School began its journey into the God-centred, excellent education facility it is today. Trevor was a gifted musician and ensured that all St Peter’s students had an opportunity to learn music. After his retirement as Headmaster, Mr. Marriage continued as bandmaster for many years. He was a member of the Campbelltown Baptist Church choir and the Campbelltown Camden District Band. In fact, he was still performing carols with them in the days leading up to Christmas.

Mr. Marriage attended Campbelltown Anglican Churches and was a committed believer in God. He was assured of salvation through Jesus and ready to meet his Lord. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, particularly his two sons and two granddaughters. 

Mrs. Megan Blencowe 
Chairwoman, on behalf of all the St Peter’s Anglican School staff. 

• Praise God for the good commencement of the year and pray for the students as they settle into routine.
• Thank you for the commitment of teachers as they seek to bring out the God given talents and skills in each individual student.
