From Our Director of Teaching and Learning
At St Peter’s Girls’ School, our students are encouraged to challenge their thinking by being bold, robust and inquiring learners. Through our teachings and our culture, we inspire women of character and influence. As a school we understand the significance of academic rigour in not only shaping our girls’ current educational journeys but also in preparing them for life-long learning. Our approaches to learning are intentionally designed to equip students with the essential skills and knowledge that transcend the classroom, empowering them for the opportunities that lie ahead. We empower our girls to undertake a comprehensive and well-rounded course of study. Central to our approach is the cultivation of deep thinking and comprehensive exposure to a diverse curriculum, ensuring that our students possess both a solid foundation and a wide-ranging perspective as they navigate their educational journey and life beyond school.
In the ELC, our education practice is influenced by the Reggio Emilia philosophy which values every child as strong, capable and resilient. Throughout the ELC and Junior School, students complete the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IBPYP). The PYP aims to develop the intellectual, emotional and physical potential of each girl, in a secure and stimulating environment. Through the PYP our girls are encouraged to learn to appreciate knowledge, conceptual understandings, skills and personal attributes as a connected whole.
In the Middle School, teachers create learning experiences which are guided by the principles of our Academic Framework. In every subject students are encouraged to develop and reflect upon the signature skills of self-management, communication, collaboration, investigation as well as creative and critical thinking.
Upon entering the Senior School, students choose to complete the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP). Both programs offer sound academic pathways and continue to foster our signature skills through to their completion.
Our girls make informed decisions to undertake SACE or the IBDP through understanding their styles of learning, the subject offerings, and requirements of each program. Both programs enable graduates to be primed to embrace the complexities and opportunities of a rapidly evolving global landscape. Our Senior students’ commitment to our School’s Senior Course of Study supports them in rising to the academic rigour required for them to truly reach their potential.
At the heart of our educational philosophy, we are inspired by our core values: courage, compassion and creativity. Our students enter our School as girls and leave as sophisticated and caring young women keen to make their mark on the world.

Clean Sweep at Winter Intercol
During Week 6, our annual Winter Intercol took place against Walford. Our teams faced off against Walford in Aussie Rules, Badminton, Hockey, Netball and Soccer.
Soccer kicked off (pun intended!) the weeks matches with our Open A playing at Walford and our Middle A playing at Saints. As there were just two games for soccer, if the schools won one match each the overall winner would be decided on goal difference.
Our Open A’s played a tightly fought match, which was tense from beginning to end. Scores were locked away at one-all before Walford kicked the winner, ending the game with Walford 2-1 up.
It was now up to our Middle A’s to bring home the win and by two goals or more to secure the trophy! Fresh off their outstanding win in the Middle A Grade Final the week prior, the girls were full of confidence and came out playing attacking, dominant soccer.
The girls controlled the game from the first whistle, running out eventual winners 15+ to zero. An absolutely phenomenal performance from a very talented team. This super effort from both teams meant that Saints retained the soccer trophy from 2022. A great start to Intercol week!
Next up was Friday Night Footy at Payneham Oval. Seduced by offers of a free bus, free sausage and free drink (as well as the promise of a close game), crowd numbers were impressive and the girls got around the team to support with lots of great signs on display and cheering to be heard. Lead by the very vocal Ashlyn May, who despite being injured and not able to take the field still made her presence felt.
Saints kicked one early, but Walford replied just as quickly. Willow Stewart-Rattray and Chloe Porter got the ball moving into our forward line, but it was a challenge to score with Walford bringing the ball out of defence too easily. Quarters 2 and 3 saw not many scores but some great individual efforts from Ella Ridge, Jasmine Segredos and Phoebe Russell before the final quarter saw the floodgates open. Grace Richards started the party with an accurate finish before Georgie Owler put the icing on the cake with a goal kicked from over her head to seal the victory.
An outstanding win by the girls that was enjoyed by everyone who was there!
We now held two of the five Intercol trophies, so the pressure was on our Badminton, Hockey and Netball girls to get the job done on Saturday morning.
Our Hockey girls had played Walford twice in the season already, once in May where we defeated them 4-0 and then again at the School Sport SA State Hockey Championships where we just scraped over the line winning 1-0. So, we knew it was going to be tough, especially as Walford had held the trophy for the past two years.
The girls were focused from the get-go. We scored early and built from there, going into the three-quarter time break 3-0 up. Walford threw absolutely everything they had at us in the final quarter, including taking their goalie off to put in an extra scoring option but our girls held onto for the win 4-0. A complete performance and a fitting way to end the season for our hockey girls, who know what it means to play as one and show courage, creativity and compassion.
Our Badminton girls had a little bit extra on the line during Intercol, with our Open A’s needing a big win to give them the best chance of securing a spot in the Grand Final on September 9. They did not disappoint, with a huge win 6-10-176 to 0-1-81. Both Open B teams had dominant wins with Walford only winning one set across those three match ups. Our two C teams rounded out what was truly a dominant performance with Saints taking the win 5 matches to 1.
To top this off, we found out on Monday that our Open A’s managed the sneak into the top two and will now play Pembroke in the Open A final on September 9. Well done girls!
With Saints never having lost Netball Intercol the teams went in confident and ready to bring the trophy home for a sixth time and complete the clean sweep of Winter Intercol. A feat which has not been achieved since 2018.
With ten games being played across Middle and Senior School, Saints needed to secure wins in at least six of these matches to retain the trophy. After the early games concluded, Saints was up 5-0 and at the end of all the matches we had won Netball Intercol 9-0.
There were some great skills on display and it was wonderful to see our Open A’s win their first game of the year in what has been a really tough season for them.
Saints hold all five Winter Interhouse trophies! A fantastic effort from all the girls and coaches, and a lovely way for our Year 12 girls to finish their Winter sporting with the school.

Jazz Masterclass at Conservatorium
Last Tuesday, music students from Enchante who are currently completing SACE Stage 2 Solo Performance and SACE Stage 2 Ensemble Performance, as well as some students who are planning to undertake these Music subjects next year, experienced a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
International jazz sensation and multiple Grammy Award nominee Jazzmeia Horn was recently invited by the Helpmann Academy to travel to Adelaide, as part of an Arts initiative in partnership with the Adelaide University Conservatorium. Based in New York City, Jazzmeia is a vocalist, producer, activist, writer, and educator. Enthused as one of the “most exciting vocalists in jazz” by The New York Times, Jazzmeia Horn has been compared to vocal jazz greats such as Betty Carter, Sarah Vaughan, and Nancy Wilson.
Sari Noble
Director of Choirs
On Tuesday I had the privilege of attending a Secondary Schools Jazz Vocal Masterclass at the University of Adelaide, with Grammy award-winning singer Jazzmeia Horn. In this workshop, students had the opportunity to perform jazz repertoire for Jazzmeia. I was lucky enough to be chosen and performed Ella Fitzgerald’s ‘Misty’, in which I received advice from Jazzmeia on how to make the piece my own. Her suggestions regarding experimenting with improvisation, together with her demonstration were absolutely invaluable. I was grateful to absorb Jazzmeia’s knowledge and wisdom, as well as watch some up-and-coming jazz performers from different schools. It was a fantastic experience.

SLIC Girls ‘Read, Grow and Inspire’
Each year, the Student Library Initiatives Club (SLIC) spend many hours in preparation for the Junior School Book Week Assembly. They READ through the nominated Book of the Year titles and write plays for the assembly in Week 5. Through rehearsals during many lunchtimes, they GROW their confidence in the performances they have created, refine scripts and take ownership of all the required staging elements from props and costumes to screen images. For the first time, this year’s Dress Rehearsal was shared with ELC children who were delighted with the performances. At the end of the last play, one child commented, ‘Can we see more?’ A great endorsement.
On August 25, the girls hit the stage performing Where the Lyre Bird lives (Ruby P, Hope, Alysa, Monica, Naadiya, Misha), Theres’s no such book (Ruby A, Naomi, Alice, Daisy), Bev and Kev (Kaylah, Jessica, Emily), Jigsaw (Annie, Mack, Emily) and Frank’s Red Hat (Ayla, Ashani, Sapphire, Malaika & Heidi). This year the girls were not only supported by Year 6 compares (Charlotte, Valencia & Lily) but also worked with a waddle of five penguins (Shruti, Ella, Elana, Pearl & Clara), actors for Katie and Kitty (Grace & Zoe), a playful dog (Brooke) and a regal Lion (Mathilda). Other Year 6 students (Sophia, Lianna, Willow, Eliza, Sophie & Scarlett) played an invaluable role as stage assistants ensuring the smooth transition between plays.
This annual event has significance in that the work done by this talented group of girls reaches out across the School, engaging our youngest members to Senior students. Their efforts truly INSPIRE all those who love reading. I would like to personally acknowledge how proud I am of their creativity, perseverance and commitment.
Lisa Hollis
Head of Library and Information Services
‘The Book Week performance is our favourite part of being involved in the Student Library Initiatives Club. We enjoyed embracing the theme ‘Read, Grow, Inspire’ which we were able to incorporate into creative performances adored by the ELC and Junior School students. The aspect of bringing books to life is what our audiences find so captivating while, as performers, engaging younger readers is truly rewarding. We also love the experience of seeing all the imaginative costumes the younger students wear that never disappoint. We can’t wait until next year!’

CROSS COUNTRY NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
On Saturday 26 August Isla Fahey, India Goodall and Elodie de Wit travelled to Canberra to compete in the National Cross Country Championships. The race was held at Stromlo Forest Park on a purpose built Cross Country course.
‘There were 137 girls competing in our U15/U16 age group and over 1000 runners on the day. It was a really tough course and all the girls did amazing! On a personal level, I was thrilled to come 4th across the line. While we were in Canberra we took the opportunity to visit the Australian War Memorial, Australian Institute of Sport and the Australian Parliament House.’
