St Peters is an Early Learning to Year Seven, co-educational, International Baccalaureate, Lutheran School. We are located in the picturesque southern Adelaide hills suburb of Blackwood. Our children’s education …in and out of the classroom… is a very important responsibility both for parents and the school. Our aim is to provide quality education, including the teaching of sound Christian values, in a caring environment which supports and encourages students as individuals and ultimately helps to prepare them for life beyond school.
The curriculum offered at St Peters is designed to promote healthy growth in all aspects of our students’ lives. We want our students to develop a strong and positive sense of self, to be prepared to meet the challenges they will face with confidence and a have broad repertoire of well developed skills and abilities in all aspects of their being. We believe that in this way our students will be well equipped to participate in and serve the community.
Our approach to teaching and learning is based on the understanding that students learn best through experience informed at school by social interaction, with teachers and other students. We believe that it is vital for students to have a sense of power and control over their own learning. We emphasise key competencies, stimulate thinking skills, and utilise technology in order to create a challenging, self-motivating and enjoyable learning environment.
Our students engage in challenging and stimulating activities. They have a lot of fun, but they work hard. A successful learner graduating from St Peters Lutheran School will be:
Schools are dynamic and changing places and we are always looking forward to see how we can continue to cater for the best learning opportunities for all the children in our care and incorporate best practice throughout all we do.
We are focusing on 5 main areas:
In looking forward as a community it is important to reflect on the things that have worked well in the past as well as honestly addressing areas where there is need for improvement. The plan for the next years is a combination of strengthening the things that we already do well being open to change as it impacts on us in the years ahead. An integral part of our planning is ensuring that we can appropriately resource all the things we need to do. We are committed to both curricular and extra-curricular activities being offered as widely as possible.This plan will change as we continue to grow. Our School Council and Leadership Staff will constantly review the school’s progress and make changes if circumstances require. There are exciting times ahead for our community and we look forward to taking this journey with our students and families.
