Letter from the Principal

Welcome to our St Peter’s Catholic Parish Primary School Epping website.

Our school is in the established part of the north of Melbourne but on the fringes of extensive housing development. St Peter’s Parish has a rich and old tradition in this area dating back to 1867. The Parish school on the current site, St Peter’s School, is to celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2009.

At St Peter’s School we strive to provide a Catholic worldview through our teaching, learning, sustained by the values lived by Jesus in the gospels. Primary schools provide a unique and important opportunity in the lives of children and we are committed to providing the best possible chance for each child to contribute fully and purposefully to the twenty first century. We offer a happy, safe and stimulating environment in attractive surroundings. We teach the children the knowledge, skills values and attitudes that will sustain them throughout their lives.

Our school is a Learning Community. We strive for excellence, and this has been celebrated with a number of awards over the past 4 years, recognising that we are working together collaboratively, with shared goals and co-learning for continuous improvement. Teachers model a love for learning.

Principal Parents are the primary educators of children and we share in a partnership to help children reach their full potential. We want parents to feel welcome at the school, both their presence and their contributions.

Being principal at St Peter’s School is a privilege, brings me much joy and many opportunities for learning and developing relationships.
