About our school
Adjacent to the iconic Kororoit Creek, the St. Peter’s School is conveniently located just off Fairbairn Road with safe walking routes to and from school.
The students from St. Peter’s School come from a range of cultures with many families speaking languages other than English at home. The school builds on close relationships with families and the local community to maximise the learning potential of all students.
An innovative and immersive use of technology is a key aspect of the school. One of only a few Google Reference Schools in Australia, the schools received the prestigious Global EdTech Award for Best School Digital Transformation (independent school) in 2024 along with an entry in The Educator’s 5-Star Innovative Schools report.
Principal's Message
Dear Families,
My name is Grace Frazzica, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as a passionate advocate for youth empowerment and education. My journey began as a dedicated youth worker, where I discovered my deep commitment to making a lasting impact on the lives of young people. Driven by a desire to do more for our youth, I transitioned into the field of education.
With a strong foundation in wellbeing, I have worn many hats over the years, each role reflecting my unwavering dedication to nurturing the holistic growth and wellbeing of both students and their families. My influence extends beyond the classroom, as I have shared my expertise internationally and locally, emphasising the crucial importance of partnering with families to enhance student learning.
I am excited to utilise my extensive knowledge and skills to further nurture the growth and development of the St. Peter’s Catholic Primary School community. Together, we can create an environment that supports our students’ educational journey and fosters their personal growth.
I look forward to working with you all to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our staff, students, families and the school as a whole. Welcome to our community!
Warm regards,
Grace Frazzica Principal
