We are pleased to announce that we will be running the Premier’s Reading Challenge again this year. The PRC will close on Friday, 18 August 2023. All students from Kindergarten to Year 6 at St Peter's Grammar will be issued with a sticker in their school diary next week, with the PRC website, closing date, username and password. 

If parents would like their child to participate, they need to enter reading records online by the closing date. The rules and privacy information for the Challenge, as well as Book Lists and information on how to log on and add books to a student's reading record are available on the PRC website. Please note that by entering the Challenge, students may receive a PRC certificate with their name and school printed. If you intend for your child to complete the Challenge, please log-in as soon as possible after receiving the username and password to check that it accesses the PRC website correctly. 

We will also be holding the St Peter’s Challenge where students read books beyond the required number for the official PRC. Simply keep a list of all the books your child reads before our closing date of Monday, 21 August 2023, including the book title and author for all books your child reads. Please do not include in their St Peter’s Challenge list the 20 or 30 required books they read for the official online PRC. Details for submitting the reading record for the St Peter's Challenge will be provided closer to the closing date.

Happy reading, and thank you for your support of the Premier’s Reading Challenge.

In the April School holidays, Wedderburn Christian Campsite will be providing a Vacation Bible Camp programme for children. It is a great time filled with fun, friendship, activities, learning and experiences they will remember for years to come.

Some adventure activities campers may experience include: rock climbing, archery, flying fox, and group games.

International Day and Grandparents Day

Mrs Nerida Hadfield - Deputy Principal
It was lovely to welcome Grandparents and special friends to celebrate Harmony/International Day and Grandparents Day today.
It was wonderful seeing so many students wearing their cultural dress and enjoying the parade.
 
Grandparents enjoyed a lovely morning tea in the school hall, followed by visits to their grandchildren's classrooms to engage in cultural activities. 
 
 

Welcome to Week 8!

Goodness me, time flies! It seems like only yesterday that St Peter's was preparing for Grandparents Day! This year, we have combined Grandparents Day and International Day so that we can all celebrate heritage together. So many of my cherished moments growing up were listening to my parents and grandparents telling stories about their childhood, or reliving an event from my own (I was accident prone as a kid!).
 
Grandparents are such a blessing for children, they are often the ones that make time to listen and can say those things that parents cannot say. Grandparents remind us of our Father in Heaven who loves us (and corrects us when we need it). We are so thankful that so many of our students have grandparents that are active in their lives and are always enthusiastic about being there for their grandchildren.
 
We hope that many of you have enjoyed being part of today with us.
Please also keep the Day family in your prayers as today was Jacob's funeral.
 
God bless,
Alastair Walker
 
PS: A date for your diary, our Whole School Easter Service will be at The Cube, Campbelltown on Monday, 3 April at 6:30pm.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
