Vision and Values
We want everyone involved with our school to embrace our Mission:
Unlocking our Potential
We believe all children can unlock their potential at St Peter’s and we strive for every member of our school family to succeed and flourish with us. This belief is founded on our school vision and values:
Through our core Christian values of perseverance, compassion, respect and courage, we seek to empower and inspire a community of ambitious, caring and respectful children who have the faith and courage to positively impact our world.
With God, all things are possible.
Matthew 19:26
These values were chosen by our school family and we aim to embody these Christian values in all we do. They guide us, ground us and bind us. Therefore every family from across our community, including those of different faiths and no faith, are welcomed at St. Peter’s and we are proud of our diversity.
