Welcome Back

A very warm welcome to Term 2. Every term is busy at St Peters, with myriad events and activities filling the weeks. Term 2 often feels busier than the others because of the number of shorter weeks created by public holidays. With this in mind, it is important that our students get straight back into the routine of learning and study. Time is precious, and a disciplined focus on learning now at the start of the term pays off in a range of ways later in the term.

The St Peters Graduate

The College’s current Strategic Intent Plus Ultra 2025 comes to completion at the end of this year, and so work on our next Strategic Intent has begun. Our next Strategic Intent will be in the context of a broad liberal education that pursues excellence in teaching and learning, care and wellbeing, lifewide learning, global citizenship, and innovation, as part of a Christ-centred education that seeks to make the Gospel a lived experience for all in our community.

In developing our next Strategic Intent, the College has been giving consideration to four framing questions:

1. What will the world look like for our children and young people when they graduate and journey through life?
2. What will be the deep needs of the societies and communities in which our graduates will live, work, and lead?
3. What knowledge, capabilities, attributes, and values will our young people need in order to meet these needs and flourish in doing so?
4. How do we educate and form such young people so that they do flourish?

These are big, but important questions to grapple with.

The third question points to the type of young person we aspire to shape and form. A St Peters education has always been more than just learning about what, why, and how. It is also learning about the who, or the ‘growing of the who’, to quote Dr Tom Christensen, an esteemed Lutheran educator. Through a St Peters education, we aspire to educate young people who are:

• Lifelong and lifewide learners and leaders
• Problem-solvers and critical thinkers
• Open-minded, capable of continued learning
• Connected in community and relationships
• Kind, caring, grateful, and respectful
• Resilient and adaptable
• Empathetic and live lives of integrity
• Others-centred and who seek to use the gifts and talents they have been given to make a difference in their community
• Have a sense of purpose, of hope, and of agency

It is this ‘portrait’ of the fine St Peters graduate that we seek to educate that will inform our thinking and actions around our next Strategic Intent and the education of your children.

Anzac Day

This morning at St Peters we paused to commemorate Anzac Day with a special ceremony and service. Over time, Anzac Day has come to occupy a special place among Australians and New Zealanders. It is a day where we remember those original Anzac soldiers who, on 25 April 1915, in the darkness, before dawn, found themselves wading ashore at a small beach on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey. It was Australia’s first major contribution to the world as a nation. In the ensuing eight months following that fateful landing, those young Anzacs underwent a ‘trial by ordeal’ with 36,000 Australian and New Zealand soldiers killed or wounded at Gallipoli. In those terrible battles, young Australians earned a reputation for courage, self-reliance, and mateship. The experience drew Australians together as a nation and helped establish our national character. We should never forget the deeds of those original Anzacs.

Anzac Day is also a time where we pause to acknowledge all current and former members of our defence force—the brave men and women who represent our country daily. Few Australians are left untouched when a member of our defence force is killed in action. It is difficult to comprehend the grief associated with the loss in war of a family member. Let us also ensure that we remember those families.

The spirit of those original Anzacs is as relevant today to all of us as it was over 100 years ago. We need to be vigilant that our nation remains one that values freedom. We need to maintain the Anzac sense of commitment, courage, and perseverance to get through the tough times. It is our duty to guard the legacy of the sacrifice and service of every person who has and continues to defend our nation, our freedom, and our values. It is only on the back of their legacy that we enjoy living in the wonderful country that we do.

Lest we forget.

Tim Kotzur
Head of College

Most people will have heard of a ‘Doubting Thomas’. Who was the original ‘Doubting Thomas’? He was one of Jesus’ disciples, one who disbelieved the news that Jesus had risen from the dead.

After the Easter event, Jesus appeared to most of the disciples, but Thomas was absent. Consumed by grief, fear, and stress, he had cut himself off from his friends. It’s a very human tendency to want to seek solitude, but while it’s understandable, it may not necessarily be helpful.

Fortunately, he hadn’t cut himself off from his friends completely. Eventually, he met again with the others, and it was then that he noticed a significant difference in them. Their fear was largely gone, to be replaced by joy and peace. It was clear that something had breathed new life into them. They claimed they had seen Jesus.

But Thomas refused to take their word for it. He had to be sure. We can sympathise with Thomas for feeling that way. He was merely echoing a very human cry for certainty. However, here on this earth, there is no such thing as certainty in spiritual things. We begin to see the need for faith and trust.

Despite his uncertainty and grief, Thomas did one important thing—he joined with the other apostles. Now he had the support of his friends. Within this community, he encountered the risen Jesus and rediscovered his faith.

To be a Christian (or just a spiritual person) in today’s world can sometimes be a lonely business. We begin to see how much we can benefit from support. It is within our community that we can work through our doubts and ask the difficult questions of our faith. It is within the circle of friends and colleagues that we are able to sustain and nurture one another.

Our St Peters school community not only supports each one of us in our spiritual journey, but also in our daily journey as we juggle the different aspects of our work and families, of grief and loss. When our lives get stressful, we can become isolated. And we, like Thomas, discover that going it alone can be hard and draining. But just as Thomas discovered the risen Lord in his community, we begin to realise that in the people around us, Jesus is truly here, travelling with us and supporting us in our journeys.

Welcome to Term 2. I hope everyone had an enjoyable break and is ready for the term to begin.

Weeks 2 and 3 will see the first of the Years 7–12 Parent-Teacher Interviews held for the year on Tuesday, 29 April and Wednesday, 7 May from 3:30pm–7:00pm in the Dohler and Schneider building classrooms. These interviews provide valuable opportunities for parents and students to speak about ways to improve students' learning outcomes and how students can develop their skills, knowledge, and understanding of the concepts studied across the curriculum. The development of student engagement in learning is a priority of the College and discussion of this will lead to better outcomes, so please read the Term 1 Interim Report carefully and seek clarification from teachers should you need. Also, many teachers have requested an interview with parents, so please make an appointment to speak with your son or daughter’s teacher if an appointment has been requested.

Student prefects and leaders will be available to assist and provide information and directions if needed, and further information on Parent-Teacher Interviews and how to book has been forwarded via email.

Head of 7–12 Curriculum – Students

I am delighted to welcome you back to Term 2 in the Primary Years at St Peters. I trust that your Easter break was one filled with family and friends, and that rest and recuperation were a priority after a busy start to the year.

Staff in the Primary Years are excited about the Teaching and Learning Program for this term and look forward to welcoming our students back with enthusiasm and love.

Winter uniforms

Due to the continuing warm weather, the compulsory wearing of the College blazer (Upper Primary only) will commence from Week 3 (Tuesday 6 May) unless students are representing the College in a formal capacity.

Pick Up and Drop Off

I remind you that children in Lower Primary should not be dropped at the College before 8:00am as students will not be supervised before this time. Of course, the exception is those students who have before-school cocurricular activities (parents must remain with their child until the supervising teacher collects them).

Playing on Primary Years play equipment and/or the Undercroft and Stolz Oval is not allowed both before and after school unless supervised by a College staff member.

Students in Upper Primary should not be dropped off behind the Chapel, on the roundabout behind the Chapel, nor in the Chapel carpark.

Leaving students unsupervised or allowing students to alight from cars in areas that are not designated drop-off zones places our students at risk. Student safety remains a high priority at St Peters and our entire community plays an important role in keeping us all safe.

Lisa Challenor
Head of Primary Years

Welcome to Term 2

I hope you all enjoyed a restful break and had the opportunity to connect with family and friends. Term 2 promises to be both busy and rewarding for our Junior High community.

Reflections on ‘Adolescence’

Many families viewed the Netflix series ‘Adolescence’ during the holiday period. The series presents several thought-provoking themes that resonate with the developmental stage of our Junior High students.

The portrayal of young people navigating a chaotic world of social media influence while forming their identities offers us all an opportunity to reflect on the importance of open communication and strong support networks during adolescence. The series also highlights the need for our young people to better understand the impact of misogyny, the dangers of extreme online content, and the fundamental importance of healthy relationships. These themes align closely with our pastoral care focus as we continue to nurture the social and emotional wellbeing of our students.

Ironbark Departures

On Tuesday, our first Ironbark group of the year departed for their five-week experience. It was wonderful to see the excitement on the faces of our Year 9 students as they embarked on this significant rite of passage. The Ironbark experience represents a fundamental aspect of the St Peters educational journey, offering unique opportunities for personal growth, independence, and teamwork.

Upcoming Events:

Week 1: Anzac Day Service – Thursday 24 April – An important opportunity for our students to pay their respects and reflect on the significance of service and sacrifice.
Week 2: Parent Teacher Interviews – Tuesday 29 April
Week 3: Parent Teacher Interviews – Wednesday 7 May

I look forward to connecting with many of you at these upcoming events as we partner together to support our Junior High students.

Head of Junior High

Introducing Our Primary Sport Standards

At St Peters, our Primary Sport Standards form the foundation for all sport in the Primary School. These standards drive consistency, skill development, and a love of sport across every year level, ensuring all students have the opportunity to grow and thrive in a supportive environment. Aligned with the PYP Learner Profiles, they focus not only on athletic ability but also on building well-rounded, resilient athletes with strong character.

We encourage parents, teachers, and coaches to engage with these standards to support our students' growth. Parents are invited to discuss the standards with their children, using them as a tool to measure progress and set personal goals. Coaches will be holding students accountable, helping them strive towards these benchmarks and develop both their sporting skills and personal resilience.

By ensuring the whole Primary community is involved, we’re fostering a shared commitment to developing a lifelong passion for physical activity and sport. Click HERE to view

Boys Weekly Sport

As the curtains rise on a fresh season of Term 2 school sport, we prepare for the upcoming trial round vs St Edmunds College. Chess will feature on Thursday evening in the CLI, starting the fixtures of a shortened school week, while St Peters will be hosting all Rugby games, which will be a great launch for the upcoming season, while all Senior Football will feature on Stolz and Harts Rd Oval.

Due to the nature of the quick turnaround, it is vital that students are aware of their respective teams and game times. I encourage students and parents to please check emails from coordinators.

For game times, please see below in this newsletter.

We are looking forward to a busy and successful season for you and your son!

Football

Football preparations are well underway for our trial round this weekend, with students making use of student-free days before and after the holidays to prepare for their respective matches against St Edmund's College and Ambrose Treacy College this Saturday.

A reminder that the Football Support Group will be running the annual Trivia Night on Saturday 10 May at 6:00pm in Café 45.

Rugby

Over the holiday break, our Senior Rugby squad travelled to Canberra to prepare for the upcoming AIC Season. Thirty-three students and five staff departed on Friday 4 April and spent a week building memories both on and off the Rugby field.

The tour was a fantastic opportunity for our students to grow not only as Rugby players, but as young men—embracing the values of teamwork, mateship, and respect, while growing as a team and sightseeing in the nation’s capital.

Our Rugby Teams, U16 and U18, played a total of eight matches while in Canberra, recording wins in 6/8 games. Please see below a summary of results:

Sunday 6 April

Tuesday 8 April

31-17 (W) vs Vikings

Thursday 10 April

U16 5-24 (L) vs Marist
U18 29-17 (W) vs Marist

These results will place St Peters in good stead for the upcoming AIC season as well as the many lessons learned on and off the field.

Aside from the sporting results, the Australian War Memorial and Mount Ainslie hike were both student and staff favourites, the War Memorial for the pivotal role WW1 played in forming Australia’s identity and honouring servicemen and women for their sacrifices. The teachings from the hike were powerful too, as students built their own stretchers, hiked the mountain and had to transport all teammates up the 2km summit. The lesson that sometimes you will need to carry your teammate and other times they will carry you became etched in both memory and muscle.

This trip could not have been achieved without the support of the staff and the Rugby Support Group.

Thank you to Eric Smythe for going above and beyond for their match preparation with video analysis, training sessions, and never sparing a minute to help our boys improve, Mr Leigh Smith for allowing our boys to continue to the best of their ability—providing strapping, rehabilitation, running fitness tests, and for bringing our groups closer together with the tribes, Mr Andrew Carey for his knowledge of both St Peters Rugby and Canberra and for always putting his hand up and no job being too big/small and providing another voice for our boys to reach out to and Mr Tyrell Barker for his leadership of his first Rugby Tour at St Peters and providing our young men with opportunities with the Brumbies. It was a great week thanks to you!

Chess

Chess will have its Trial Round on Thursday 24 April due to Anzac Day. Students will be assigned teams on Wednesday afternoon, and any students not selected are welcome to come and support their peers and play internal matches in the CLI.

For our St Peters sporting programs to positively develop and grow, it is paramount that our students attend training sessions for their chosen sport, so they can improve and refine sport-specific skills and build cohesion amongst their team-mates.

If students are unable to attend some training sessions, it is vital that their absence is communicated to their coaches firstly, and also the respective coordinator/s.

Athletic Development

The St Peter's Athletic Development Program supports students' physical growth and athletic performance, with sessions available before and after school in the Weights Room at the Indooroopilly Campus. Juniors (Years 7–9) focus on mastering fundamental movement patterns, while Seniors (Years 10–12) build on these skills with tailored programs for all levels. Regardless of gym experience, we cater for all levels and encourage all students to take advantage of this opportunity. Boys are encouraged to attend Athletic Development.

Save the date and join us for the ALWS Walk My Way on Saturday, 10 May!

This year, the Ministry Team and the Social Justice Committee at St Peters will once again support the Australian Lutheran World Service (ALWS) Walk My Way in Brisbane on Saturday, 10 May, starting and finishing at QUT Gardens Point Campus. You can choose to walk 3km or walk/run 12.5km along the beautiful Brisbane River and Southbank.

While it is not an official supervised College event, it is an important community event. Members of Lutheran churches, schools, and community groups come together to walk around the Brisbane River in a sea of blue, raising awareness and support for some of the most vulnerable children around the world.

This year, as ALWS celebrates 75 years of service, it hopes to raise enough funds to provide 75,000 children with food, safety, and education. This is a huge goal, but one that we can work (and walk!) towards together. Funds raised through this event will support vulnerable children impacted by poverty and war in Ukraine, Somalia, South Sudan, Kenya, Burundi, Bangladesh, and Nepal.

Closer to the day, we will organise a meeting point at QUT Gardens Point campus to say hello to any of our St Peters community joining us.

Read more about the event here: Brisbane Walk My Way Event Info

Register to join our team, or donate here: Brisbane - ALWS75 | St Peters Lutheran College Indooroopilly

It will be a wonderful day and a great way to show our support and solidarity with vulnerable children worldwide.

If you have any questions about the event, please email me: r.rankin@stpeters.qld.edu.au.

We’d love to see you there!
