In the lead-up to the centenary of Rotary Australia, the Rotary Club of Kenmore donated a Peace Pole to our Upper Primary students. The pole, one of just 100 donated in Australia, was officially welcomed by our Year 6 students on Tuesday 5 November, 2020—in the College’s 75th year.

Our founding teachers have been with us for 13 years of growth, faith and inspiration. Attending to student needs, they share in their experiences and help them learn. All of our teachers share a passion for the highest quality of Christian education, they’re enthusiastic and caring and make themselves available to students and families. We share our founding teacher stories as part of our 13-year celebrations as the first students who have completed all of their schooling, from Prep to Year 12, at St Peters Springfield.

An exciting new transdisciplinary project was recently launched for Year 7.

The annual St Peters Multicultural Week is one of the College’s key calendar events. Celebrated, typically, as a whole-of-College event, the pinnacle of the week is the Parade of Nations ceremony. This year, we united online to celebrate what makes our community unique: our cultural diversity.

The ‘New Normal’ is a phrase that’s being thrown around a lot lately, but what does it look like at St Peters Lutheran College? The obvious changes are in the day-to-day College activities (socially distanced assemblies and split lunch hours to reduce the students at serveries and in common areas), but they also extend to livestreamed events, spectator limits at co and extra-curricular activities and the extension of annual College Sports Carnivals.

During Term 2 the College was thrilled to present badges to our newly appointed Junior High House Captains. The role of our Year 9 Junior High House Captains is significant as it presents a great opportunity for students to serve as well as refine their leadership and organisational skills.
