We offer a safe Christian environment that endeavours to provide a diverse learning environment that nurtures mutual respect, love and care.
Our school is unique as it is a small school with small class sizes and a low pupil-to-teacher ratio. This allows us to devote the most time possible to each student and contributes to the sense of family within our school. Our classrooms are well-equipped with updated resources including a fleet of modern laptops and iPads, allowing students one-to-one access to these devices. Touchscreen televisions in each classroom are well utilised in our teaching and learning activities.
At St Peter's Lutheran Primary School we have a rigorous and challenging curriculum. Our experienced and carefully appointed teachers have a wide range of expertise, skills, and knowledge which we have incorporated into our broad and stimulating curriculum.
Hi Everyone,
On Tuesday March 25th our school photos will be taken. Students were given a note during the week with more information about photos. Ordering photos has changed a little bit this year.
Normally you would get an envelope with your student's name on it. This year they would prefer you to order online. Your child should have come home with instructions on how to order online.
Please contact the office if you didn't get the slip or if you need assistance. You have until 6:00 pm on Monday 24th of March to order photos, if you wish.
All students are required to wear their full summer school uniform for the photos, and bring their school bomber jackets if the weather is cool. Our full summer uniform is listed below.
Girls - A school dress or school skorts with the blue school polo top. Black shoes with white socks.
Boys - Grey shorts with the blue school polo top. Black shoes with grey socks.
Next Friday March 21st is Ride2School Day. Students have the opportunity to ride as a whole school to school on this day. We will be meeting at Pickering Gardens on Lloyd Street, Dimboola at 8:15am. Students can either ride their bikes/scooter/roller blades or even walk. There will be staff members riding and walking with students. Students should have come home with a permission slip. Could you please return that slip to ensure we know who to wait for on the morning of.

This week our year 3 & 5 students sat four NAPLAN tests including Conventions of Language, Writing, Reading and Numeracy. All students have done an excellent job at putting in 100% effort. I am proud of them and they should be proud of themselves.
The Wimmera Steampunk Festival is coming back to Dimboola in the school holidays. Our students have been asked to create lanterns for the lantern procession and hot air balloons which are being hung up at the General Store in Warracknabeal. Students have been asked to be participants in the lantern procession. At this stage we've been told the lantern procession will start at 6:00pm on Saturday April 12th, this is the middle weekend of the school holidays. More information will be sent home with students once we have more details.
On Wednesday afternoon staff from WLC Nhill came to join staff from WLC Dimboola to complete a course called Valuing Safe Communities, ran by Jacqui North and Kate Polack from WLC Horsham.
VSC focuses on our shared responsibility to ensure our schools are places that are safe.
Next week Ainslee and I will be participating in a Learning Tour in Geelong and Melbourne. We will be meeting up with staff from WLC Nhill and Horsham, as well as staff from other Lutheran Schools from across NSW, VIC and TAS. The tours are designed to inspire teachers by providing insights into innovative teaching practices, exploring state-of-the-art educational facilities and foster professional development. Ainslee and I are looking forward to collaborating with other teachers and visiting a range of different schools.
Have a wonderful weekend!
