St Peter's Primary School is a Catholic school in Clayton, in the southern suburbs of Melbourne. St Peter's has between 250-270 students from both our local parish and surrounding areas. The school has a large multicultural population with around 44 nationalities represented among our students and families. The school was originally established in 1955 by the Brigidine Sisters and has always has a strong commitment to the multicultural nature of the Clayton area. We provide an education based on the Catholic Faith and foster a community that is inclusive, welcoming, just and compassionate. We support and challenge our students to be thinkers and part of the wider global community. The facilities at St Peter's are modern and include a new Resource Centre and Computer Room and modern air conditioned classrooms. We use interactive whiteboards in many of our classrooms and our teachers have a genuine concern about each child at St. Peter's. We have a large oval and a variety of playing surfaces and spaces. Our curriculum is constantly evolving and the use of technology is seen as vital for all our students. Our programs cater for individual needs within our multicultural context. St. Peter's School is in partnership with the Cultivating Communities group who help us provide a garden program for all students in the school. Our Before and After School Care is on the school premises making access very easy for parents and children. Our extra curricula activities within the school include the involvement of Kelly Sports after school activities as well as camp programs for Years 5 and 6 and a swimming program for all the children in the school. We take seriously our responsibility for the wellbeing of students with an effective pastoral care system. Our parent community is very supportive of the school and we value their input as parents to our school. St. Peter's has a proud tradition of providing a quality education for all children in the Clayton area, a tradition that continues today and into the future.
