About our school
St Peter’s is a community where children, parents and teachers feel a sense of belonging to a family.
The ideals of the Gospel are reflected in our mutual respect, cooperation and support of one another in the sharing of educational ideals and experiences.
The school provides a place where there is openness, friendliness, a commitment to Catholic education and where parents and teachers work together in the shared responsibility of education and faith development.
Principal's Message
Welcome to St Peter’s Catholic Primary School, Epping. We are a Child Safe school promoting the safety, wellbeing and inclusion of all children. We are proud of our Catholic faith and tradition and this underpins all areas of school life as evidenced by relationships, language and rituals. The connection with our parish is strong and this reputation is highly valued in the wider community.
St Peter’s is large enough to offer exceptional grounds and learning facilities yet small enough to know each child individually. The engaging learning spaces enhance student learning opportunities independently and collaboratively with peers. Our vision for St Peter’s is that students, staff and families work closely together and develop strong links that will enhance the learning for all of our students. We work together to ensure that our students are taught at the point of learning entry.
Education goes beyond academic instruction; it encompasses the nurturing of the individual in academic, spiritual, emotional and physical aspects. We equip our students with lifelong skills that empower them to become compassionate and contributing members of society. Our goal is to help them develop a profound understanding of the world, their community, and their role within it. Our greatest resource is our teaching and support staff, who serve as models of lifelong learners.
I encourage you to come and have a tour of St Peter’s Primary school, Epping. Please call the office and make arrangements for a personal tour.
I look forward to meeting you and sharing in the journey of your child’s education to be the best they can be.
When you enrol your child at St Peters, it is the whole family who is welcomed warmly into our community.
