Prep - Year 6
St Peters Primary School at Springfield offers a supportive and nurturing environment for all our students.
Our goal is to help our young people reach their individual potential and to develop the competencies they will need for further schooling, study, work and lifelong learning. This ensures they will be equipped to participate fully in and contribute to our local and global society.
The safety and wellbeing of each student is of utmost importance to us at St Peters. We aim to develop good citizens who are respectful, responsible and caring through our Pastoral Care program.
We foster high expectations of academic and personal growth for learners. Throughout the day, our programs are designed to develop students’ confidence, resilience, persistence, organisation and getting along skills. Our Social-Emotional Learning Program, You Can Do It, helps to build a positive mind-set as well as encouraging students to set goals and targets for their learning.
Recognising the importance of community is a high priority in our Primary School. Our Year 6 Leadership program promotes service to others, accepting responsibility and being a good role model. This is continued in our Buddy program which includes our Kindergarten, Prep and Year 1 students connecting with our Years 4–6 students.
To cater for the different stages of development, our Primary school has two sub-schools – Lower Primary and Upper Primary. In Lower Primary, our Prep to Year 3 students are exposed to rich, stimulating, learning environments that promote literacy and numeracy skills with an added focus on social emotional learning. Early intervention is a high priority in our Lower Primary classes.
Our Upper Primary year levels take part in an iPad program which gives students the opportunity for immediate feedback and higher participation. iPads are a tool that can be used to achieve learning intentions in ways not previously possible. In this sub-school, students are also encouraged to develop independent learning skills.
