The Years 10, 11 and 12 students are placed into Year Level Form Groups, under the guidance of a Year Level Coordinator; as well as being part of the House system.
As students progress from Year 10 to Year 11 and, finally, to Year 12, each Form Group Teacher and the Year Level Coordinator moves with them, enabling a three-year partnership and relationship to be established.
At St Peters, we are committed to knowing your child. We want our students to be confident there will always be someone nearby who can respond to their needs.
As is the case with each of the St Peters sub-schools, the Senior School has chaplaincy and counselling staff. These people play an essential role in the activities and life of the College and provide specialist guidance in personal matters to our students.
Leadership
Leadership is valued in all facets of society, so St Peters has always fostered and developed leadership opportunities for girls and boys. Every program at St Peters is designed to develop student confidence and sense of responsibility, their organisational skills and commitment to goals, so that all students may experience elements of leadership.
Leadership is an integral part of school life. In the Senior School, a Years 10 and 11 mentoring program provides emerging leaders with guidance and preparation to lead. By Term 4 (end year), Year 11 leaders are elected, inducted and begin formal leadership of the Senior School and continue into Year 12 until the end of Term 3 each year.
Behaviour Management and Student Safety
St Peters Lutheran College is committed to the development of ‘Positive Relationships’, a process informed by the teachings of the Gospel and Restorative Practice principles. In a culture of support and inclusivity, the development of positive relationships between students, teachers, parents and the wider community allows students to flourish. As such, time is spent developing social and emotional competency and positive behaviours, so that young people have the capacity to effectively engage in relational problem solving.
The program at St Peters is based on four fundamental premises:
- maintaining culture of care, dignity and respect
- nurturing abilities of self-regulation
- ensuring acknowledgement of and accountability for any harm or wrongdoing, and
- restoring relationships in an inclusive community.
We acknowledge that, in any community, there will be challenges and breakdowns in relationships. In our Senior School, the restoration of relationships is regarded as an opportunity for learning, growth, and building communities.
