Respectfully teaching and learning on Kaurna land

Courage Creativity Compassion

St Peter’s Girls’ School provides outstanding educational opportunities for students from Early Learning to Year 12 in an engaging, collaborative and dynamic environment. Since 1894, the School has built upon the legacy of our founding Sisters, who were brave pioneers of girls’ education. Their daring vision and faithful determination continues to resonate with students today. Guided by their example, our holistic education encourages students to challenge, serve and lead with integrity and imagination.

Our vision at St Peter’s Girls’ School is inspiring women of character and influence.

Welcome to Saints Girls

St Peter’s Girls’ School is an ELC to Year 12 Anglican and International Baccalaureate World School located in Stonyfell.

Selecting a school for your daughter is among the most important decisions you will ever make, one that can set the foundations for future success and fulfilment.

At St Peter’s Girls, a multitude of elements make us your school of choice. Our story began over 130 years ago, inspired by a vision for quality girls’ education and core values of Courage, Creativity and Compassion

These values are shown differently in each of our students at Saints Girls based on their unique personalities and experiences.

For generations, students have entered our School as girls and graduated as women who dare to shape our world.

We prepare our girls for life beyond school through our future-focused teaching and learning platform which expertly blends academics and wellbeing as a formula for ongoing success and fulfilment.

With our long history of excellence in education and our readiness for a rapidly-changing tomorrow, there has never been a better time to be a Saints Girl.

Cherylyn Skewes commenced as Principal of St Peter’s Girls in 2023, bringing a wealth of educational and leadership experience from Early Learning to Senior School.

She holds a Master of Education (Curriculum and Administration Studies) and is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

With core teaching expertise in Years 7 to 12 English and German, Cherylyn’s career journey boasts breadth and depth.

Our History

St Peter’s Girls’ School was established in North Adelaide in 1894 by the Community of the Sisters of the Church, pioneering English women who sailed to a settlement they knew little about on the other side of the world.

The Sisters arrived with very few possessions, but what they brought to our shores was priceless: a vision for quality girls’ education . The School moved to our beautiful leafy location of Stonyfell in 1957.

The School was managed by the Community of the Sisters of the Church until 1986 when a change

in vocation within the Community resulted in the Sisters creating a different governance model and gifting the School to a Board of Governors.

Students at St Peter’s Girls’ School are inspired to follow in the footsteps of our founding Sisters as women of Courage, Creativity and Compassion

The Power of All-Girls’ Education

Our students and graduates exhibit the merits of single-sex schooling as a significant advantage when it comes to academics and wellbeing.

St Peter’s Girls’ School has a proud history of empowering generations of girls to become the leaders of tomorrow.

We encourage our girls to be who they want to be, both in and outside the classroom.

Research from around the world continues to show the substantial merits of single-sex schooling over co-education. The ICGS (International Coalition of Girls’ Schools) outlines studies that affirm what we at Saints Girls know from our collective experience about the advantages of genderbased education.

• Female graduates are far more likely to consider majoring in Mathematics, Science and Technology.

• Girls are encouraged to be more competitive and less risk-averse.

• Girls are more inclined to strive for greatness with heightened career aspirations.

• Girls are more likely to speak up in environments where they feel their opinions are respected.

• Single-sex schools encourage improved self-esteem and wellbeing in adolescent girls.

Every opportunity, learning environment, leadership position, sports team, music solo, and lead role in a play is designed for and held by a girl. An all-girls setting such as Saints Girls provides a place for academic growth and excellence, a place where girls are free from gender stereotyping and are instead empowered and encouraged to become bold leaders who are confident to stand up for themselves and to voice their opinions.

A Place Like No Other

One of the elements that truly sets Saints Girls apart is our stunning campus at Stonyfell where first-class facilities are encased in natural beauty.

Our girls can immerse themselves in a gripping novel or a puzzling maths question under the relaxed gaze of a koala in a tree above them. The tranquil calls of native birds resonate around the grounds, adding to the charm of this unique learning environment.

It’s not just our pristine setting; our buildings and facilities are first class. In recent years, our Master Plan has been transformational, delivering a series of key projects: expanding our Early Learners’ Centre, increasing access to additional sporting facilities in neighbouring Bell Yett Reserve, installing high speed network services to boost online learning, building a new Middle School and opening a new Library.

In 2019, our leading-edge Science Centre was built, cementing Saints Girls as a national leader in STEM.

Featuring seven cutting-edge laboratories and impressive breakout areas, our Science Centre makes every day a new discovery at St Peter’s Girls. The building has also doubled the size of our Visual Arts space and delivered a bespoke Junior School Art hub.

Our previous Science facility has been transformed offering a dedicated Media Hub featuring sophisticated filming, lighting and editing equipment to elevate digital learning on our campus.

Our Junior School has been reimagined with a new playground, new classrooms and breakout areas to further empower our girls.

In 2024, the construction of The Emily Centre commenced, opening in Term 2, 2026. This state-of-theart facility will expand our current offerings and will feature:

• Two Multipurpose Indoor Courts

• Spectator Platform

• Modern Fitness Room

• Weights Room

• Movement Studio

• Drama Space

• Music Rooms

• General Learning Classrooms

• Changing Rooms

• Underground Car Parking

School Life

St Peter’s Girls is an Anglican ELC to Year 12 SACE and IB School. While our School prides itself on our girls’ academic, sporting and cultural achievements, there is so much more to life at Saints Girls.

STUDENT SUPPORT

Junior School students belong to a Class, while Middle and Senior School students are allocated to Home Groups. Their Class or Home Group Teacher is their primary contact, providing pastoral care and guiding them on a path to success and happiness. Students in Years 7 to 12 are also supported by a Head of Year Level. Heads of Year Level in partnership with the Home Group teacher are responsible for the care and wellbeing of every student in their respective cohort. The Head of Year Level assumes responsibility in the areas of pastoral care, student welfare and student transition. This structure helps fuel the self-belief of our girls and their ability to address issues such as personal and cyber safety, study skills and time management.

In the Senior years, their Home Group allocation is based on their School House. The girls stay with the same Home Group teacher for

those three Senior years which fosters House pride and continuity of support.

Students also have a strong connection with their Head of Sub-School, and can access the School’s Psychologist, Registered Nurses, Chaplain and the Coordinator of Student Services.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

St Peter’s Girls is on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS), enabling international students to join our community. The School can arrange accredited homestay accommodation, which costs a fraction of the price of typical school boarding facilities.

International students enjoy a comprehensive support network including a dedicated International Student Manager, personal counselling, EAL/D teaching and access to specialised tutoring.

CHAPEL

Chapel Services are held throughout each term, allowing our girls to develop and strengthen core values. Led by the School’s Chaplain, the services embody our Anglican principles and traditions through song and prayer. They offer a time for reflection and are a key component of our pastoral care.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP

Various leadership opportunities provide our girls with valuable qualities and experience which they can use in later life.

In Year 6, all students have a leadership role, undertaking a special Leadership program involving workshops and mentoring. In Year 9, girls can become Middle School Leaders. Opportunities also exist in other year levels in areas such as Sport and Music.

Students in Year 12 can be inducted into the School’s formal Prefect system, building their skills while acting as role models to our younger girls.

St Peter’s Girls also has a bespoke Leadership program to lift our girls to even greater heights.

CLUBS

Beyond our Performing Arts and Sports offerings, our girls can join a variety of clubs, committees and programs that appeal to their interests and curiosities. Opportunities include Public Speaking, Debating, Chess Club, Environment Club, Library Club,

Code Club, APEX, Art Club, Philosophy Club, and more.

HOUSE SYSTEM

An integral part of the School’s fabric is our House system. Generations of students at St Peter’s Girls have belonged to one of four Houses: KENNION, KILBURN, PATTESON or SELWYN For decades, these four Houses have inspired healthy rivalry through academic, sporting and cultural competitions.

House events include Choral Night, Sports Day, Swimming Carnival, an annual dinner and Spirit Week, as well as charitable activities demonstrating our passion for service learning.

POCKET POINTS

The School’s Pocket Points program is a popular and prestigious honours system within St Peter’s Girls.

This program recognises Middle and Senior School students for excellence and dedicated representation of the School. Girls earn points for their House in areas such as Sport, Music, Debating, Community Service and Chapel. When a set amount of points is accumulated, the recognition is displayed across the student’s blazer pocket through stripes and embroidered initials.

Early Learners’ Centre

The School sets the foundations for learning in our Early Learners’ Centre (ELC), a cherished place where girls and boys aged two to five can discover, create and connect.

Our children are guided by a talented team of qualified Early Childhood professionals who expertly lead them on their learning journey. Our Centre features thought-provoking outdoor play spaces and inspiring rooms that harness transparency and connection.

The Centre’s educational practice is underpinned by the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP), influenced by the Reggio Emilia Approach which promotes the development of identity, enhanced learning possibilities and empathy.

The ELC’s outstanding work in this space has been recognised by educators in South Australia and across the country for the excellence it demonstrates in Early Childhood Education. Our educators are active contributors to local and global education networks including the Reggio Emilia Australia Information Exchange (REAIE).

We have a strong history and connection with the Reggio Emilia Approach, with educators visiting Reggio Emilia in Italy for professional development and expansion of our international network.

Our commitment to sharing Indigenous history and culture has also been celebrated with a national honour for outstanding commitment to reconciliation in education. Indeed, our trailblazing work in reconciliation and environmental sustainability has been harnessed and symbolised in our Hallett Road playspace and garden.

Our ELC is comprised of two captivating Learning Communities: In Learning Community 1, we have Stonyfell and Bell Yett rooms, with children aged 2 to 3.5 years. Children then progress to Learning Community 2, with Erindale, Pathway Hallett and Pathway Ferguson rooms for children aged 3.5 to 5 years, which encompasses our Pathway to School program for children 12 months prior to starting Reception.

Liz Schembri Director of Early Learners’ Centre

Qualified Early Childhood teachers oversee the educational program between 8.30am and 3.30pm during term time, and our seamless extended hours and Vacation Care offerings are supported by the same Diploma-qualified (or higher) educators who work within the school-hours program.

A unique feature of the ELC is its location, right next to the spectacular Ferguson Conservation Park which has become a key habitat for the children’s learning.

Another exclusive aspect is the ability for girls who start in the ELC to continue their educational journey into Reception and beyond, all on one campus in a continuously nurturing and supportive environment.

Community is the bedrock of life at our ELC. We consider ourselves an extended family, and we welcome new members to our community with open arms.

PLAYGROUP AND VACATION CARE

An additional offering within our Centre is our weekly Playgroup sessions for children aged 6 months to 2 years accompanied by their parents or carers, and we run a flexible and stimulating Vacation Care program each school holiday period for ELC students aged 2 to 5.

HOURS OF OPERATION

Our ELC is open from 7.30am to 6pm, Monday to Friday and operates for 50 weeks of the year. We are closed on public holidays.

Attendance is 2 to 5 days a week, with our 4 and 5 year olds required to attend a minimum of 3 days per week.

CHILD CARE SUBSIDY

St Peter’s Girls’ ELC is an Approved Child Care Centre and therefore registered for the Child Care Subsidy. Eligible families can claim a subsidy for all long day care programs.

To receive the Child Care Subsidy, families must meet immunisation requirements. Further information regarding eligibility is available from Services Australia.

OUR PATHWAY TO SCHOOL

At St Peter’s Girls, we provide our bespoke Pathway to School program, a highly focused ELC-to-school experience for all ELC children during the 12 months prior to starting school as Reception students.

Based in flexible and dynamic learning spaces within our ELC, our Pathway to School program is led by qualified Early Childhood Teachers across the ELC and Junior School.

To complement the globallyrecognised learning experiences that take place across our Centre, children are engaged in an extended range of focused learning opportunities aimed at setting them up for a successful and positive start to school.

Fundamental capabilities that are accelerated through our Pathway to School program include social, emotional and self-management skills further developing independence, organisation and resilience. Literacy, numeracy and STEM explorations are amplified daily during rich inquiries and interwoven play activities, guided by problem-solving and creativity. Crucially, our Pathway to School program places children’s wellbeing at the centre as we focus on their individual growth.

Incorporating the Australian Curriculum, the Junior School teaching and learning program and methodologies are based on the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP), covering Humanities and Social Sciences, English, Mathematics, Performing Arts, Science, Digital and Design Technologies and Health and Physical Education.

Our co-curricular offerings are dynamic and diverse. Through music, sport and many other activities, we encourage our girls to delve into their skills and passions.

Our annual Year 5 Production is a major highlight in the School calendar, allowing our Year 5 girls to develop confidence as they explore acting, song and dance. Girls gain further life experience on a variety of camps and study trips aimed at building resilience and inquiry. In Year 6, every student has the opportunity to take on extra responsibilities as Peer Leaders, becoming role models for our younger girls and prepare them for Middle School.

Our Junior School classrooms and breakout spaces are bright, open and take advantage of the beautiful natural outlook of the grounds and adjacent reserve of Ferguson Conservation Park. Modern flexible furniture allows for students to work individually and in small or large groups. A dedicated Junior School Art room and Library complement the rich classroom and specialist teaching program.

Through research, reflection and continual improvement, our Junior School curriculum strengths include:

Middle School

Our Middle School features open and flexible learning spaces, spectacular views of Ferguson Conservation Park and the latest technology to ignite young minds.

The Middle School is a dynamic learning environment for girls in Years 7, 8 and 9. It caters for the academic needs of adolescent girls and their developing social, emotional, cognitive and spiritual domains.

Led by highly-qualified and caring staff, our teaching and learning revolves around our Middle School Academic Framework, clearly identifying the skills and attributes we aim to build in our students. We empower our girls to be adaptive learners, ethical and motivated individuals who collaborate, communicate and think creatively to achieve their best.

We offer a robust curriculum designed to extend each girl’s abilities and lay a solid foundation for her senior years, equipping her with a wide range of knowledge and skills. It covers the learning requirements outlined in the Australian Curriculum and provides special interest courses.

IB graduates speak passionately of their experiences in the Programme and its benefits in preparing them for study at university. The critical thinking and time management skills learned as well as the experience gained by engaging in the Programme are invaluable assets for students intending to undertake tertiary study. IB Diploma graduates also take into their future endeavours an experience of understanding current and relevant global issues.

Performing Arts

Our highly sought-after Performing Arts program gives our girls the confidence, guidance and resources to explore their passions and master their craft.

DANCE

Students from our ELC through to Year 12 are given countless opportunities to experience the joy of dance and creative movement.

Whilst Dance is part of our Junior School Curriculum from Reception, our Junior School co-curricular Dance program is offered from Years 3 to 6, and provides inclusive and exciting opportunities to learn skills in many genres of dance culminating in a performance experience to celebrate their love for dancing and the stage.

Our annual Year 5 Production is a highlight in the School calendar each year. Students are provided with a rich and authentic Performing Arts experience, and the Production week is something they remember throughout their schooling lives.

The School Musical and FUSION are offered each year to students of all abilities across Years 7 to 12, for those who would like to further engage in dancing, singing and acting within the co-curricular program. These large-scale productions bring our community

together to celebrate the hard work and talent of performers, and attracts large audiences to experience the high calibre of Performing Arts at Saints Girls.

St Peter’s Girls is one of few schools to offer Dance at SACE and IB level. Our students enjoy a growing number of rich performance opportunities, industry workshops and exposure to world-leading choreographers and dancers. Additionally, we offer interstate trips to dance festivals and training programs where Performing Arts can be studied and pursued after school.

Showcasing Middle and Senior School students’ own choreographic works throughout the year is a way for our students to gain creative, collaborative and expressive skills and experiment with movement to communicate ideas and themes.

Internal and external students from Years 5 to 11 are encouraged to apply for scholarships in Performing Arts, to recognise and celebrate their exceptional skills in Dance, Drama and Singing.

MUSIC AND INSTRUMENTAL TUITION

The School’s multi award-winning Music program combines all the right notes to foster a passion for performance and music in all of its forms. More than half of our students play an instrument or learn voice and the School runs over 20 co-curricular ensembles with almost 350 girls participating in weekly rehearsals.

Our Music students consistently attract national and international accolades across a host of competitions and activities. Our talented vocal ensembles and bands have won 1st place in multiple divisions at Generations in Jazz and have achieved outstanding results across strings and band divisions at the ABODA Music Festival.

The School’s epic Music Concerts have become a feature of our events schedule, showcasing collaborations with acclaimed performers. All Middle and Senior girls participate in our annual Choral Night and can also extend their talents in our biannual School Musical or FUSION Performing Arts Collaboration.

Another highlight is our annual Music Camp in Term 1, where Music students from Years 5 to 12 build a culture of family within ensembles across the year levels.

Saints Girls enjoy fantastic live performance opportunities on stage, on air and in collaboration with world-renowned artists and composers. Our vocal ensembles also have two albums on Spotify and many professional music videos.

Music is embraced by all year groups and we provide a coordinated academic pathway for girls who wish to continue studying SACE or IB Music throughout their Senior schooling and beyond.

Our Junior School Music Immersion program runs for three terms, offering students the opportunity to develop their ability to participate in teams, problem solve and improve their organisation skills. Year 2 students play recorder, Year 3 girls choose a string instrument and the Year 4 classes learn a woodwind, brass or percussion instrument.

In addition to Music lessons offered as part of the curriculum, private instrumental or voice tuition can be coordinated with our music tutors.

“Creativity, which is the expression of our originality, helps us stay mindful that what we bring to the world is completely original and cannot be compared.”

–BRENE BROWN

DRAMA

Drama plays a respected role at St Peter’s Girls. Our dedicated staff give students the skills and direction they need to flourish, both on stage and behind the scenes.

Specialist workshops are also held throughout the year to empower our students through practical exercises and theoretical wisdom. We facilitate a number of excursions as well as inviting artists to perform at the School.

The School’s curriculum introduces Drama at a young age, fostering a passion for theatre that blossoms with our annual Year 5 Production, steadily building up to studies in Years 11 and 12 where SACE and IB students perform dynamic pieces.

VISUAL ARTS

The School’s Visual Arts curriculum stimulates and inspires our ELC to Year 12 students to explore their creativity, push boundaries and challenge their thinking.

Our girls are given the guidance and freedom to express their individuality in anything from paint to plaster. While traditional art is extremely prominent, technology has also become a major focus. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the latest design software and equipment to produce a range of dynamic artworks and products.

Each year, our SACE and IB students illustrate their talents in vibrant exhibitions, gaining valuable real-world experience.

As part of our rich Arts cocurricular offering, Art Club is offered to Years 6 to 12 students with an interest in exploring and extending their visual art and design skills.

It is this creative support, combined with our enthusiastic educators and first-class resources that set Saints Girls apart in Visual Arts.

Sports

Sport is part of the fabric at Saints Girls. Our students take a range of activities in their stride, building confidence, strength, coordination and teamwork.

Sport is a key component of daily life at Saints Girls. Through our co-curricular program, we aim to provide a variety of options for girls from Reception to Year 12 to participate in a sport that suits them. Whether that be competitive or social, on a court or a field, St Peter’s Girls’ School wants to help students develop a life-long love of sport and being active.

In 2026, we will continue to build consistency in our program offerings and delivery from Reception to Year 12 and commit to finding new and innovative ways for our girls to participate in sport. Our coaching philosophy is the same across all sub-schools, deriving from The Saints Way, creating a cohesive sporting pathway for students as they progress through the subschools.

THE SAINTS WAY

The Saints Way was introduced across all co-curricular sports in 2025. From Foundation programs, to our Premier League and Senior A teams, this philosophy will reinforce the way we participate, learn, develop and strive to be our absolute best across all facets of sport at Saints.

It also celebrates the ‘Saints Spirit’ which we are known for throughout Independent Girls Schools Sports Association (IGSSA) and the other competitions in which we participate.

WHY COMPULSORY SPORT?

Participation in sport brings an array of evidence-based benefits including higher levels of confidence and self-esteem, improved academic performance, and enhanced social skills. We believe that these are crucial to the overall development of our girls. Being involved in a sporting program also allows girls to show commitment whilst developing skills that can be applied in a variety of situations.

Wellbeing and Pastoral Care

At St Peter’s Girls’ School, student wellbeing is defined as having a positive sense of self-worth, the confidence and skills to embrace challenges and a sense of belonging to our community.

Through a holistic approach to their educational journey, our girls are supported to maintain healthy habits and routines; to challenge themselves for continual growth and to reflect to ensure they develop into young people who are courageous, creative and compassionate.

Students engage in bespoke wellbeing sessions each week that focus on a range of topics relevant to each cohort. At Saints Girls our wellbeing program is called #EMPOWHER, one of our signature programs at the School.

In the Junior School, students take part in the URSTRONG program which focuses on developing personal, social and emotional growth. The program equips our girls with the skills and confidence to develop healthy relationships while also providing students, parents and staff with common language around friendships.

Wellbeing lessons in the Junior, Middle and Senior School occur twice a week and can be facilitated by the Home Group Teacher, Head of Year, Head of Sub-School or School Psychologist. Topics are tailored to ensure they are age appropriate and relevant for the girls. Student survey data is also used allowing student voice and agency over their learning. Guest speakers and facilitators

are utilised each year to further enhance the wellbeing offerings for students.

Topics that students may take part in include but are not limited to:

• Sleep health

• Developing & maintaining healthy study habits

• Procrastination and perfectionism

• Health relationships

• Stress versus anxiety

• Building and maintaining positive friendships

• Navigating cyber safety and devices

• Financial literacy

• Drug and alcohol awareness

• Road safety

• Team building

• Gratitude

• Nutrition & physical exercise

Developing leadership skills and opportunities for our students is essential and has been intentionally built into a range of activities and experiences across all year levels. Through cross cohort activities, Sister Chats, service learning initiatives and explicit leadership units, our girls are supported to further develop skills in communication, collaboration, resilience, self-awareness and goal setting. Students can apply for and undertake a variety of leadership positions across all areas of the School and in each year level.

Signature Programs

To give our students the best start in life, we run a host of wellbeing programs and initiatives exclusive to St Peter’s Girls’ School.

CAREER.READY PROGRAM

At Saints Girls, we believe in the power of quality career education.

As a continually evolving space within schools, best practice asserts that the majority of career education content should be covered before students enter Year 12.

Designed for Years 7 to 12, our bespoke and future-focused Career.Ready program aims to equip our girls for the everchanging digital age and connect them with industry to prepare them for future success.

Teaching content is drawn from the Australian Blueprint for Career Development as well as intensive programs taught in other states, with emphasis placed on enabling students to make sound career choices by better understanding their passions and preferences.

Girls in each year group complete career action plans, exploring with their teachers and parents the resulting data and insights in order to revisit and adjust their plans each year.

The program incorporates our popular JobChat initiative which allows our students to delve into their fields of interest by connecting them with industry professionals including many of our talented Old Scholars.

In parallel, St Peter’s Girls employ a Scientist in Residence throughout the year to help further ignite and nurture the STEM spark in our girls and show them where science can take them post-school life. The School facilitates regular seminars and workshops across a wide cross-section of careers.

MICROCREDENTIALS PROGRAM

At St Peter’s Girls’ School, we’re committed to opening pathways to future careers and university success. Our innovative Microcredentials Program, delivered in partnership with leading universities, offers students the opportunity to gain university-recognised credentials while still at school.

Through hands-on learning experiences, workshops led by university experts and industry professionals, and authentic assessment tasks, students explore specialised fields of study and develop critical skills in their areas of interest. These programs provide a genuine taste of university-style learning, allowing girls to build their resumes, strengthen their learner profiles, and develop confidence in their chosen pathways.

Our current offerings include the Microcredential in Health and Medical Sciences in partnership with Flinders University, designed for students curious about careers in Medicine, Health, or Science. Students explore cutting-edge topics in health diagnostics and digital health, attend on-campus university experiences, and create reflective portfolios that showcase their learning journey.

By participating in Microcredential program, Saints Girls gain more than just academic recognition— they develop the critical thinking, communication, and problemsolving skills that will serve them throughout their tertiary studies and beyond. These signature programs exemplify our commitment to preparing young women not just for university, but for leadership in their chosen fields.

LEADERSHIP MATTERS PROGRAM

To complement and work in triplicate with our #EMPOW HER wellbeing and Career.Ready programs, Saints Girls proudly runs a bespoke leadership program: Leadership Matters

The program is named after Muriel Matters who was studying at University in Adelaide when our School was founded in 1894, the same year women in South Australia gained the right to vote. Muriel went on to campaign courageously for female suffrage in the UK, and as such, her legacy inspires our values and skills we wish to instil in our girls today.

Our Leadership Matters program is based on research from academic papers on student leadership from around the world, as well as an audit of best practice from national and international schools.

The program is arranged into four domains:

Self-Leadership: understanding emotions, self-regulation, personal values, motivation, strengths, weaknesses and personal wellbeing.

Fostering Positive Relationships: how empathy, trust, inclusiveness, conflict resolution, collaboration, and the ability to motivate and empower others combine to help build great teams.

Goal Achievement: harnessing communication, problem-solving, agile thinking, time management and project management skills to bring ideas and projects to fruition.

Taking the Lead – Taking Action: carefully curated practical opportunities to experience and reflect upon leadership moments.

Core content has been tailored for our students across Years 7 to 11, and we aim to encourage our girls that everyone can experience and share moments of leadership.

EDGE PROGRAM

Our EDGE (Extended, Differentiated and Gifted Education) Program is designed to stimulate and challenge all students. Our EDGE Coordinator works with teachers to complement and enrich the curriculum in our classrooms, whilst also leading additional activities to ensure gifted and talented students can extend themselves by participating in other rigorous and stimulating learning opportunities. The program focuses on developing the skills of creativity, critical thinking and collaboration through the disciplines of Philosophy, STEM, Critical Literacy and Design Thinking.

Students are able to work with a range of specialists including our Scientist in Residence, School Psychologist, Old Scholar professionals and external industry experts to gain realworld perspectives and insights. They also have the opportunity to showcase their creative talents by publishing and contributing works to our annual Arts Journal, Out of the Blue

Many of our girls put their learning to the test through competitions and other external activities. Year after year, their passion and dedication yield local, national and international accolades with highlights across the da Vinci Decathlon, Philosophy, Ethics, Linguistics, STEM and more.

OUTDOOR AND EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION

At St Peter’s Girls, we encourage our students to challenge their thinking by creating meaningful learning opportunities beyond the classroom. Throughout the year levels, our Outdoor and Experiential Education Program encompasses our values of Courage, Creativity and Compassion

Girls develop their creativity by engaging in problem-solving activities that require collaboration and skill. They display courage by moving outside their comfort zones, enhancing their resilience and selfawareness. They show compassion by demonstrating respect for others, and an appreciation of nature and environmental responsibilities.

Students from Years 1 to 12 are involved in our structured curriculum, taking part in rich experiences which have clear outcomes. Each year level program is thoughtfully and progressively challenging and by the end of Year 10, our girls become self-reliant in camp preparation and flexible in their response to discomfort and challenge.

This program supports our girls in developing positive relationships with themselves, with others including peers and School staff,

and the natural world. The program also connects closely with our #EMPOW HER wellbeing program. The topics and tools delivered in #EMPOW HER sessions are easily transferred to the camp setting.

Growth in Learning

Our program incorporates several learning outcomes in other subjects including Health and Physical Education, Geography, History, Science, Mathematics, English and Art.

Due to the immersion in the natural environment, these experiences can teach cross-disciplinary components of the curriculum such as an Aboriginal outlook on the country, along with conservation and sustainability.

Our links with the Australian Curriculum also flow to specific content descriptions related to self-reliance, interdependence and leadership, managing personal risks, life-long physical activity, and health and wellbeing.

From Year 9, our students can take part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, a youth development program that empowers participants to explore their full potential through activity and service.

SERVICE LEARNING PROGRAM

What is Service Learning?

Service Learning is the active participation in meaningful service of others. All students from ELC to Year 12 participate to grow in genuine, meaningful and practical service towards others through School supported opportunities.

We recognise the importance of service learning and giving back to our community, and we do so with a significant part of our program undertaken through our School House Charities. Each of our Houses has a charity they partner with which enables them to engage with the wider community.

Our Year 10 Home Groups have the responsibility of running the House charity activities across the year with each student engaging with their House charity in a range of different ways from volunteering to fundraising.

This hands-on experience allows our students to demonstrate compassion to those around them in practical ways whilst giving back to the community and allowing them to practice their leadership, organisation, and collaboration skills.

A range of international immersion experiences are also offered to our students as part of our unique Service Learning program.

Benefits of Service Learning

• Allows the Christian ethos of the School to be expressed in a practical and meaningful way.

• Builds an attitude of citizenship and empathy for others.

• Enables students to work in collaboration with others towards a common purpose.

• Nurtures students to become empowered and engaged women within their communities.

• Enriches the academic curriculum by providing an opportunity for students to apply what they have learnt in the classroom into meaningful action.

• Provides a mutually-beneficial relationship between the students and those they serve.

• Encourages students to partner with their local community whilst understanding its role and position within a global context.

Technology with Purpose

At St Peter’s Girls, we believe technology should enhance learning, not replace the human connections and critical thinking that lie at the heart of education.

Our approach is intentional: we use digital tools to deepen understanding, support diverse learners, and prepare our students for a world where technology is ubiquitous.

In our Junior School, iPads serve as creative companions and research tools rather than constant fixtures. From Reception to Year 3, girls use them for targeted learning activities, exploring literacy through interactive applications, documenting scientific observations with photos and film, or expressing creativity through digital media. As students progress to Years 4 to 6, iPads become more integral into inquiry-based learning, supporting research projects and enabling students to capture and present their thinking in dynamic ways. This increased use is carefully balanced with screen free lessons, outdoor exploration, and hands on learning experiences.

When girls transition to Middle School, they move to MacBooks and encounter one of the most significant technological shifts of our time: artificial intelligence. Rather than banning or ignoring these emerging tools, we’ve chosen to educate. In Years 7 and 8, students explore the presence of digital assistance in their daily lives as part of their wellbeing curriculum, beginning to

understand both its possibilities and its limitations. By Years 8 and 9, this becomes a dedicated area of study where girls examine the ethical dimensions, moral considerations, and appropriate educational applications.

In our Senior School, this foundation pays dividends. Years 10 to 12 students approach emerging technologies with maturity and discernment, using them ethically within their SACE and IB coursework as research tools and academic tutors. They’ve developed the critical literacy to know when digital assistance enhances their learning and when it undermines it.

“We’ve maintained a steady course while the educational landscape shifts around us. Our students aren’t overwhelmed by screens because we’ve never treated technology as the solution to every learning challenge. Instead, we use it strategically: to open doors to research, to support students who learn differently, to prepare our girls for workplaces where digital collaboration is standard practice. The result is young women who are digitally capable without being digitally dependent.”

- G. Coulter, Leader of ICT and Educational Technologies

This balanced approach extends beyond the school gates. We recognise that healthy technology habits require partnership between school and home, and we support families in establishing boundaries that complement our in-school practices. Our IT Services Hub is here to assist both students and families throughout this journey, ensuring your daughter has the support she needs to use technology effectively and responsibly.

As our students move toward tertiary education and beyond, they carry with them something increasingly rare, and that is the ability to work with technology as informed, ethical partners rather than passive consumers or complete sceptics. They understand that digital tools can be powerful research assistants, that technology can unlock creative possibilities, and that screens have their place, but so do conversations, collaboration, and the irreplaceable experience of learning alongside skilled teachers who know them as individuals.

As technology continues to evolve and reshape our world, St Peter’s Girls’ School remains committed to preparing your daughter not just to adapt to change, but to lead it. She will be equipped with the wisdom to harness innovation whilst maintaining the human connections and critical thinking that will serve her throughout her life.

Spaces and Opportunities for Tomorrow’s Leaders

This philosophy comes to life through our state-of-the-art facilities and innovative programs. Our leadingedge Science Centre, multiuse Maker Space, dynamic area for digital learning and creative technologies, and industry-standard Media Hub provide girls with hands-on access to cutting-edge tools and

environments. Here, the thoughtful integration of technology we’ve cultivated from Junior School onwards finds full expression, with pursuits ranging from coding and robotics to 3D printing and drone piloting.

On the curriculum front, innovative elective subjects in Year 10 such as Film Production (including Certificate III in Screen and Media) and Innovative Design reflect our commitment to STEM and the rapidly-changing world around us. In fact, our creative approach to STEM teaching in Year 10 has been recognised with our inclusion on The Educator’s list of Innovative Schools.

Another STEM highlight is our annual Girls in Tech Expo, where over 250 students from local primary schools and 80 exhibitors join our girls for a day of interactive workshops covering coding, artificial intelligence (AI), drone technology and more. This event embodies our belief that technology education should be accessible, collaborative, and purposeful.

These initiatives have elevated the School’s standing as an educational leader in STEM, with more of our graduates’ selecting male dominated fields such as Engineering for their University studies to pursue the careers of tomorrow. We have had much success across our STEM offerings. In recent years, various teams of girls have claimed top prizes in prestigious competitions such as the Microsoft AI for Good Challenge, Shark Tank eSchool and REA’s Space in Schools Program.

The results speak for themselves: young women who are staying at the forefront of technology not just as users, but as ethical innovators and future leaders in their fields.

A Sense of Belonging

Community and Service: Growing Together

At St Peter’s Girls’ School, a truly exceptional education extends far beyond the classroom; it thrives through partnerships between students, families, and our wider community. Service lies at the heart of our culture, both the service we provide and the spirit of service we nurture.

A Community of Partners

Volunteers are essential partners in our community, bringing valuable skills, experience, and dedication that enhance learning and life opportunities for our students. We deeply value the time and expertise they generously share, understanding that their involvement and impact extends well beyond the classroom, fostering meaningful connections between school and community.

Connecting Through Service

Our vibrant network of community groups provides families with diverse opportunities to engage with school life. Year Level Parent

Representatives serve as vital links between families and the School, fostering connection within each year group. Specialist

interest groups, such as Friends of Arts, Friends of Rowing, Friends of Sport, and Friends of Saints Girls, unite parents and past parents who share passions, creating supportive networks that enrich these programs for all students and the wider community. The Old Scholar Association (OSA) Council maintains enduring bonds between past and present, ensuring our traditions and values continue to inspire each new generation.

Building Character Through Service

These partnerships do more than support our programs; they model the values we seek to instil in our students. When our girls witness parents, teachers, and community members working together in service of others, they learn that contribution matters, that community is built through active participation, and that each person has unique gifts to share.

We invite all families to discover where their talents and interests might enrich our community, knowing that in giving to others, we all grow together.

Always a Saints Girl

Countless numbers of Saints Girls go on to realise their aspirations across a host of disciplines, shaping the world of today for the generations of tomorrow.

The Old Scholars’ Association

Since its inception in 1914, the Old Scholars’ Association (OSA) has been a pivotal part of our students’ experience. Its mission is to foster enduring connections among alumni, celebrating shared experiences and achievements that span generations.

During their school years, we strive to instil a strong sense of community and purpose in our students, and our Old Scholars play an active role in sustaining this ethos, with many Old Scholars currently employed at the School. Past students understand better than anyone what it means to be a Saints Girl, and the community they have built provides invaluable support to both the School and its students.

Our OSA is guided by a dedicated Council representing a diverse cross-section of our alumni.

Giving Back

Our Old Scholars are more than past students; they are an integral part of our School community. The connection between past and present extends beyond tradition, with alumni actively shaping and inspiring the next generation of Saints Girls.

Whether offering mentorship through the Old Scholars’ Tutor Program, sharing career journeys with students, or contributing to academic and co-curricular initiatives, our alumni provide a vital link between St Peter’s Girls’ rich history and its vibrant present.

Reunions

and Events

Old Scholar events offer meaningful opportunities for our community to reconnect, reminisce and celebrate shared heritage. Our OSA hosts a variety of events throughout the year, honouring milestones and creating new memories.

The Annual Reunion Dinner, held in June, celebrates Old Scholars marking significant anniversaries, including 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 and 60 years, since leaving the School. For younger Old Scholars, the A Touch of Blue cocktail evening provides a vibrant setting to renew friendships. Interstate reunions in cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Perth ensure connections remain strong, regardless of location.
