St Peter’s Catholic School Students Shine

From Classrooms To Community

Students at St Peter’s Catholic School are embracing a wide range of extracurricular activities that foster compassion, community engagement, and personal growth. From service projects like Project Compassion, Socktober, and the St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal, to heartfelt initiatives such as crafting Christmas cards for Meals on Wheels and fundraising for the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal, students are making a meaningful impact.

Their talents also shine through performances at community events, including singing for the Hub morning tea and spreading cheer at the local nursing homes with Christmas concerts and home-made goodies. Sporting spirit is alive and well with participation in local competitions like the Romanello Shield and Macknade Touch Carnival, alongside school-based athletics, swimming and cross-country events.

Safety and wellbeing are also front and centre, with programs like the Life Education Van, Bullying No Way Week, Pillowcase Project, Day for Daniel, and RUOK? Day helping students build resilience and awareness. Cultural celebrations such as NAIDOC Week and Reconciliation Week further enrich their understanding and respect for Australia’s diverse heritage.

These activities not only enhance student learning but also nurture empathy, teamwork, and a strong sense of community at St Peter’s Catholic School. It’s clear our students are not just learning in the classroom - they are living their values in the world around them.
