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.
Over the holidays the school will be getting some upgrades done to it. We are getting new carpets laid through the whole school, the interior is getting painted and the junior room windows are getting replaced to ensure we have fresh air into the classroom. So, you might have noticed that each day the school is looking a little bare, but rest assure the classrooms are still operating as normal. We are very excited to come back to a fresh-looking school next year.
On Tuesday, we welcomed next year’s Prep students for another visit! Students had a fantastic time together. The children participated in a treasure hunt in the sand pit, where they uncovered hidden letters. They carefully copied these letters onto a sheet, practising their writing skills while having fun! Afterwards, students explored the world of nursery rhymes. The students learned how rhyming words can make songs and poems fun and memorable. They also had a great time sequencing some well-known and loved nursery rhymes, recalling the familiar lines and putting them in the correct order.
We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day, so they took advantage of the weather and spent some time outdoors. The children enjoyed drawing clocks and practising telling the time as part of their maths lesson. It was a wonderful day filled with sunshine, learning, and lots of smiles!
Next Friday December 6, the students are heading to the Dimboola Nursing Home to do some Christmas activity with the residences. The students have also organised a dress up day to get into the theme of Christmas. Students are allowed to come to school next Friday dressed in Christmas clothes. Students are encouraged to bring a gold coin to go towards a gift for the Hindmarsh Shire giving tree.
Expressions of interest are being sought for the WLC Dimboola Advisory Committee. With Wimmera Lutheran College commencing next year, the advisory committee will be the voice of the Dimboola campus to the WLC Board, so if you wish to contribute as part of this group, please let Millie know via email, phone or in person. A terms of reference is available upon request.
On Thursday December 12, we will be holding our closing service and graduation at the Lutheran Church. The service will begin at 6:30pm and will conclude with a shared supper in the hall. We are asking all families to please bring a plate to share. Students are required to be dressed in full school uniform for the service.
