Interested students have many avenues to pursue specific gifts and interests outside of the classroom. St Peter’s students participate in external Chess and Robotics Competitions, and enrichment opportunities such as the regional da Vinci Decathlon and GATEway 8 competition, hosted by other schools.
Crusaders @ Lunchtime (Years 2 and 3), (Years 4 and 5) and Breakfast Club (Year 6) Christian groups provides the opportunity for students to learn more about the Christian faith, while supporting and encouraging each other in an atmosphere of fun and friendship. As part of these meetings, students participate in games, food, fun, prayer, and deepening their understanding of God’s world and their place in it.
We believe all Year 6 students are leaders within the school. These students all lead a Buddy Group, consisting of approximately 8 students across all grades once per fortnight. These are based on our Houses – Argyle, Bligh, Cook, Cumberland, Durham and Roxburgh. Our Year 6 students attend a Leadership Training Camp in preparation for this. Our student leadership body consists of a boy and girl Captain and Vice Captain in addition to four Prefects. We also have Captains and Vice Captains for each House. These leaders perform a range of tasks across the week to help younger students and lead important events. Additionally, we have a Student Band Conductor, Choir Captain and Concertmaster (Strings).
Our Music offerings are extensive. We have a Training Band, Junior Band and Senior Band. Instruments can be hired and students progress through these bands as they become more proficient in their skills.
Our Choirs have many opportunities to perform including biannually at the IPSHA Music Festival at the Sydney Town Hall. We also have a Vocal Ensemble group of selected students in Years 5 and 6.
Every alternate year, St Peter’s performs a Musical. This involves all students in the school and is a highlight of that year. Grades provide backing vocals to songs throughout the performance and students audition for main roles, rehearsing over a period of 9 months.
Students at St Peter’s are encouraged to participate in Debating and Public Speaking to help develop confidence in expressing their ideas clearly and logically. A Public Speaking event is held annually where students deliver a three-minute speech based on their specified topic. Our Years 5 and 6 students participate in the Independent Primary Schools (IPSHA) Debating Competition.
Central to all St. Peter’s camps is the opportunity for students to engage with the Bible and hear the good news of Jesus. Students from Years 1 – 6 attend camps ranging from one day to four days. Our programs are developed in conjunction with Crusader’s Summit Educational Camps and serve a variety of purposes. Camps allow students to undertake activities and experiences which cannot be completed in a classroom. They also provide students with the opportunity to learn to live with others in a close environment, undertake and conquer new challenges, develop teamwork skills, get to know each other and their teachers on a different level and develop greater independence.
Our school has a number of peripatetic tutors who offer times for individual lessons in singing, piano, cello, and guitar.
