As part of the IB Diploma, students take Theory of Knowledge (TOK), which explores questions about knowledge and the process of knowing. TOK emphasises comparisons and connections between the different subject areas and encourages students to be more aware of their own perspectives and those of others.
In Year 12, TOK students write a 1,600-word essay in response to a prescribed title of their choice. The 2026 prescribed titles were released at the end of Term 1. Students this year are writing their essays on one of the following titles:
On Thursday 23 April, St Peters hosted the annual TOK Essay Workshop where IB students from St Peters, Indooroopilly State High School, and Anglican Church Grammar School came together for a collaborative interschool workshop to develop students' understandings of their chosen title. Proceedings began with a keynote address by Dr Peter Ellerton, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at The University of Queensland, whose engaging presentation challenged students to think carefully about the nature of knowledge and specific examples of how we can question it. Dr Ellerton’s insights set a thoughtful and energising tone for the day.
Following the keynote, students broke into small, mixed-school groups to workshop their title in depth. These sessions focused on creating a rich environment for shared inquiry and critical dialogue. It was an opportunity for students to test ideas, refine knowledge claims, and consider diverse perspectives, while benefiting from peer feedback beyond their own school contexts.
The day was marked by high levels of engagement, intellectual curiosity, and collegiality, leaving students better prepared and more confident to approach their TOK essays with depth and originality. A big thank you to the staff involved in the day, including Ms Magar, Mrs Thompson, Mr Meredith, Dr Atherton, Ms Wiedemann, and Mrs Hall. The annual TOK Essay Workshop is one example of the strong interest in academic collaboration of both staff and students across the IB community.

Our Year 6 Canberra tour began bright and early on Monday April 20, with excited smiles, a few nerves, and plenty of enthusiastic goodbyes as students set off on their adventure. After landing mid-morning, students met their drivers, loaded luggage and boarded coaches before heading to Regatta Point for a well-earned hot pizza lunch and time to relax after travelling.
The afternoon saw students split into their bus groups for their first educational experiences. Some explored the National Capital Exhibition through The Griffin Mission, learning how Canberra was designed and planned. Others visited the Australian War Memorial and participated in the moving We Will Remember Them program, which deepened their understanding of Australia’s military history and the importance of remembrance.
Later, experiences continued across Canberra until Thursday. Groups enjoyed a Cycle Canberra scenic bike ride, took part in orienteering at the National Arboretum, and explored the Museum of Australian Democracy through the People Power and Making Change program. Each day, students enjoyed afternoon tea at iconic locations. The day concluded with a visit to the Australian Institute of Sport, where students toured the facilities and participated in the interactive Sportex program.
Our next couple of days on tour focused on civics and democracy, beginning with a tour of Parliament House. Students visited both the Senate and House of Representatives and took part in engaging sessions with the Parliamentary Education Office, which was an exciting opportunity to see Australian democracy in action. After a hot lunch at Parliament House, groups visited a range of cultural institutions, including the National Gallery of Australia, the National Museum of Australia, and further sessions at the Australian War Memorial.
A standout highlight of the tour was the evening visit to Questacon for Q by Night, where students enthusiastically engaged with hands-on science exhibits in a fun and memorable setting.
Across the tour, students represented the school wonderfully, embracing every learning opportunity with curiosity, respect and enthusiasm. Our HEART Framework was lived out throughout each learning experience; the tour group was often praised by members of the general public and tour guides for their outstanding contributions to an active learning community. Both staff and students shared that the four days away was a rewarding experience that brought classroom learning to life and created lasting memories.

Welcome to Week 2!
As students settle back into the rhythm of the term, it is worth pausing to consider one of the most important foundations for learning, wellbeing and emotional regulation: sleep. During adolescence, the brain and body undergo significant changes. Sleep is not simply rest; it supports memory, concentration, mood, impulse control and healthy development. Australian health guidance recommends that teenagers aged 14–17 get 8–10 hours of sleep each night, yet many Australian teenagers get significantly less on school nights.
This matters. A tired student is not just a student who feels flat. Lack of sleep can affect learning, emotional regulation, decision-making and relationships. As families, one of the most practical supports we can provide is helping young people build consistent evening routines, reduce technology use before bed, avoid caffeine and energy drinks in the afternoon and evening and maintain a calm sleep environment. These are simple habits, but they make a real difference.

A reminder that the full winter uniform is to be worn from next week.
This includes:
Wearing the uniform well is a visible expression of our College identity and culture. It signals pride, belonging and respect for the standards of the College. We ask families to support students in ensuring they are correctly presented each day.
Last week, we were fortunate to welcome Caitlin Hughes, who delivered a thoughtful and engaging presentation to our Junior High students titled “What would I tell my younger AuDHDer self?”
Caitlin clearly explained the concept of neurodiversity, shared meaningful insights from her lived experience and thoughtfully explored both the challenges and strengths of being AuDHD. Her presentation encouraged curiosity, acceptance and empathy, leaving students with a deeper understanding and appreciation of individual differences.
This was a valuable opportunity for our students to think carefully about how we build a community where every person is known, respected and valued.
Our Junior High Captains represented the College at the annual Schools’ Anzac Service in Anzac Square.
This was a meaningful moment of reflection and an important opportunity to pay our respects. We are proud of the way our student leaders represented the College with dignity and maturity on such a significant occasion.

The Year 8s have made a positive start to Term 2. In Week 1, our Year 8 class representatives officially took over the flag roster, demonstrating leadership and responsibility as they raise and lower the flags each day. They have also commenced the sports equipment loan system, with Junior High students able to borrow equipment on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during lunchtime to use on the ovals.
It has been a wonderful start to the term, and I look forward to another exciting and productive term ahead for Year 8.
Tegan Sutton
Year 8 Coordinator
It has been a wonderful start to Term 2, with a sense of energy and purpose across the Year 9 cohort. This term, our Pastoral Care program is centred around the theme of Identity, Influence, and Impact — a focus that encourages students to reflect on who they are, the influence they have on others, and the positive impact they can make within our community.
A highlight at the beginning of the term was our 9AB cohort's departure to Ironbark. There was a real sense of excitement and anticipation as students embarked on their five-week experience. We thank parents and caregivers for their support in ensuring a smooth and positive departure. The students arrived safely and have already begun immersing themselves in the opportunities that Ironbark provides — developing independence, resilience, and strong connections with their peers.
Ironbark remains a cornerstone of the Year 9 journey, and we look forward to hearing more about the growth and experiences of the 9AB group over the coming weeks

Year 9 Coordinator (Acting)
