Your kindness, positive attitude, and the way you live out the values of Jesus each day truly inspire us all. 
Thank you for making our school a brighter place!

We regret to inform you that this year’s school disco has been cancelled due to an insufficient number of volunteers to help run the event.
We understand this may be disappointing news for many of our students and families and we truly appreciate your understanding.

Congratulations to 1M on an amazing assembly!

A big well done also to all of our Merit Award winners – we are so proud of you all!

SSP is excited to announce that our 2025 Sports Carnival will follow a tabloid format, providing an engaging and dynamic experience for all students. Here are the key details for the event:

Parent Viewing:

Parents and spectators are asked to remain in roped-off areas on the western, northern, and eastern sides of the oval.

Access to relay games and house tents will not be permitted.

To keep the program on schedule, students will not be able to sit with parents during these breaks.

100m Flat Races: Only A & B division runners will compete in the championship race after lunch. Medal awards will be based on performances in Long Jump, Shot Put, Turbo-Jav, 200m, 400m, 800m throughout Term Three, and the 100m sprint on carnival day.

Weather:

There is no backup day for this carnival. We will proceed regardless of weather conditions.

All students must stay at the carnival until its completion to support their House. After presentations, students will return to their class teacher and then head back to school for regular dismissal.

We look forward to a fantastic and fun-filled day!

We are excited to announce that our Years 3–6 Jumps and Throws Athletics Finals Day will take place on Wednesday 10th September (Week 8). This event is designed for students who have ranked in the top 8 boys and top 8 girls in their year level for field events, including Shot Put, Turbo Javelin, and Long Jump.

In the lead-up to the finals, all students will participate in practice sessions during their PE lessons and will be given multiple opportunities to qualify. Families will be notified if their child qualifies for an event, with further details to follow.

Event Schedule:

• Years 3 & 4: Rotations begin at 8:50am

• Years 5 & 6: Rotations begin at 11:20am

The top 4 performers in each event will earn points towards individual championships, contributing to the titles of Champion Boy and Champion Girl.

We will then wrap up our athletics program with the St Simon Peter Tabloid Carnival on Friday 12th September (Week 8). The final event—the 100m sprint—will take place during the carnival and determine the last of the championship points. Medal presentations and the announcement of the winning House will also be held on this day.

Please note:

• The 400m and 800m events will be run during regular class time, with results shared on SeeSaw.

• Families will be notified if their child is selected for the Interschool Athletics Team, with more information to come closer to the event.

We look forward to a fantastic day of friendly competition and celebrating our students’ efforts and achievements!

Kind regards,
Luke Pettit
Physical Education Teacher

As we start another term, a friendly reminder to all families about the importance of keeping unwell children at home.

When children come to school sick, it not only makes it harder for them to learn and recover, but it also increases the risk of spreading illness to others — including classmates and staff.

To help support our community’s health and wellbeing, please take a moment to review our School Medical and Illness Protocols

We appreciate your continued support in helping us maintain a safe and healthy environment for everyone.

Thank you

Nurse Izzy

If your child is not in Year 6 and will not be returning to St Simon Peter in 2026, please ensure you notify the school as soon as possible.
