St. Peter's Anglican Prep School - Promotional Video

St. Peter's is such a vibrant learning community.  There is so much happening and many opportunities for students to get involved! 

In this newsletter, we are excited to share with you our Prep Video. We hope you enjoy this glimpse into the many wonderful things our school has to offer!

Spring Fair

Our Spring Fair is tomorrow!

The gates will be open between 9.00 am and 3.00 pm.

Our Spring Fair is the culmination of hard work and organisation of both a significant number of parents and staff within our community. From rides, stalls, displays, auctions and food, the day is also an Open Day for prospective families to get a feel for our school grounds and the community that exists here.

As our major fundraiser for the year, our Spring Fair is important in providing opportunities for our students. 

We have some fantastic items that have been donated to our silent auction. 

Vuly Play, Australia’s trusted manufacturer of outdoor play equipment from monkey bars for kids to premium trampolines, have kindly donated an Ultra Medium Trampoline as our major silent auction item! The Ultra Medium Trampoline (valued at over $849 plus free delivery) offers fun for the entire family and includes an advanced range of built-in safety features. See Vuly's full trampoline range here.

We would like to thank both C91.3 and Vuly for their generous sponsorship.

We look forward to sharing this amazing day with our community.

Year 5 Camp

Year 5 had a fantastic time on camp in Week 6. Our camp experience started at Lutunda in Mount Victoria, where our Crusader leaders shared God’s word with us in Christian Discovery sessions and we attempted a range of challenge by choice activities. These challenge by choice activities included the high ropes, flying fox, bush walking and the crate climb. As a grade we enjoyed the wide game ‘Safari’ where students worked in small groups to capture a range of exotic animals to gain points for their team. 

On Thursday morning, we travelled to the Bathurst Goldfields where we experienced colonial life. Students played traditional games, panned for gold, cooked damper over the fire and put up tents. Our final night of camp concluded with singing and sharing stories around the campfire and some bush dancing.

Shop/Office Changes

The building where the school shop is based is owned by Campbelltown Anglican Churches. The church have indicated that they have future plans for this building/ space. As such, the school will be vacating this building by the end of this year.
 
The Headmaster's office will be relocating to Room 13A (upstairs) and the school shop will relocate to the current Headmaster's office. 
 
To facilitate this work, 6S will be moving to the classroom next to 2O, acknowledging that they will spend time within the other two year 6 classrooms. 
 
This will allow necessary renovation works to occur to allow both spaces to be operational for the commencement of 2020. 
 
Music/ Band will continue in Music Room 2 and will relocate to alternate spaces within the school, from the commencement of 2020. 
 
Thanks for your understanding.

Notice of Withdrawal

We never enjoy saying goodbye to families but understand for a number of reasons, situations change.
 
If it is your plan not to be attending St Peter's in 2020, the last date to advise the Headmaster in writing is Friday, 27 September. Notification after this date will result in an additional terms fees being charged in lieu of notice, as per the enrolment contract. 
 
As we determine classes and budgets for 2020, this information allows us to effectively manage the school.

Possible Bus Runs

One of the questions in our family satisfaction survey will ask about desire/ need for school bus runs to and from school. We are also exploring the possibility of the school mini bus picking up siblings from Broughton each afternoon to facilitate one pick up for families.
 
If either of these would be beneficial for your family, please let us know.

Family Satisfaction Survey

Our family satisfaction survey will be issued via email next week.
 
We look forward to your feedback and appreciate in advance what you will share.
