Vision2015

Developing a vision, as we learn and work together over the next five years and beyond, has been an important part of our work as a school and community.

Students, staff, parents, and members of the wider community have come together to develop Vision 2015. The bold Vision Statement is just the beginning. It acts as an umbrella over the vision and values for St Peter's College.

"St Peter's College celebrates being a Catholic faith community, where students, teachers and families work in partnership to develop empowered, self managing, lifelong learners who live the Gospel values in a changing world." _{Vision 2015}

Key pillars identified by the Vision Process

We will have a holistic approach to meeting the needs of the individual. (Develop their ability to think critically, creatively and reflectively and have a sense of wonder and awe; well rounded - physical, spiritual, academic, ethical, social)

We will have young people to participate and contribute positively to society through leadership and service. (Make a difference; good role models; making our world a better place)

We will have passionate, competent, motivated and well resourced teachers. (Resources/systems to support, energise and provide professional development)

We will have a school that nurtures Catholic faith and values and that responds to the faith journey of individuals and in doing so enables its students to make ethical and moral decisions in a changing world. (Live out the Gospel Values; encourage a personal faith journey)

We will have a strong relational partnership between school, students and families, and the wider Catholic Community, where all are actively involved and welcomed. (Fosters open strong relationships; all are actively involved; wider Catholic community support and nurturing of students, families and teachers)

We will have students who are life long learners, who strive for personal excellence, who are adaptable and are ready to be leaders. (Embrace change, respectful leaders in the community)

We will have a school that celebrates its traditions and successes. (Recognises and celebrates the uniqueness of every student; celebrates its tall poppies; celebrates as a community)

We will have a learning environment that meets the needs of 21st Century students. (Resources; best practise use of technology; future planning with financial security)
