From Our Principal
One of the many highlights of Term 3 was our students’ participation in the Community of the Sisters of the Church Music Festival held at Canberra Girls’ Grammar School. While attending this event I had the opportunity to meet and work with the Principals of our five sister schools from Australia and New Zealand. Many of you will be aware that our School was founded in 1894, however our legacy as an ‘Emily School’ is less known. Mother Emily Ayckbowm was the founder of the Anglican Community of the Sisters of the Church. Seven sisters of this Church set forth from England travelling to Hobart in 1892. Their motivation was a love of God, a sense of duty and a commitment to be of service. They were trailblazers, courageous, creative and compassionate. They were seven women whose faith in God imbued in them a fortitude and optimism that informed their educational enterprise.
In the years between 1892 and 1926, they founded seven schools across Australia and New Zealand. The sisters were committed to providing girls with an education – an education that would result in graduates being well-rounded, virtuous people who would contribute to society beyond the school gates. This is the very mission that our School still holds.
Six of the seven ‘Emily Schools’ that the Sisters founded are still operating today, with five of the six remaining committed to girls’ only education. St Michael’s Collegiate in Tasmania was founded in 1892, and we were next in 1894. St Michael’s Grammar, which is now co-ed, was founded in Melbourne in 1895 with Perth College following in 1902. The Sisters then founded St Margaret’s in New Zealand in 1911 and finally Canberra Girls Grammar in 1926.
Music students from these six schools gathered in Canberra, where they had the opportunity to work together under the tutelage of world class conductors, composers and musicians. The resulting concert was a wonderful celebration of our shared history with that sense of connectedness that music can achieve. I felt incredibly privileged to have attended the festival and I could not have been prouder of our students – the way they conducted themselves, their superb musicianship, the joy they brought to their performances, and the pride they showed in being St Peter’s Girls. I thank Sally Rounsevell, our Director of Music, for providing our students with another inspirational music experience, and Mairi Walker and Louisa Giacomini for accompanying our musicians.
Our School’s rich history not only forms the foundation of our identity and traditions but helps to create a sense of belonging amongst our community, instilling a strong sense of school spirit. As an Emily School we are thankful for our courageous sisters and their commitment to service in providing education for girls in a time when this went against the norm. In today’s world I am sure the Sisters would have been labeled as disrupters! I think of their courage, creativity and compassion and am proud that their legacy lives on in our students today. Their commitment serves as inspiration for us all to strive for excellence and contribute to our communities in an impactful way.
I wish you a wonderful and safe term break as we rest, reconnect with loved ones and prepare for a full and festive Term 4.

Year 5s Amaze in Aladdin Jr.
Term 3 is finishing on a high note with our Year 5 Production of Aladdin Jr. Our girls have been showcasing their amazing stage talents, culminating in their final performance tonight.
The girls dazzled as they took audiences on a journey into a world of wonder and adventure in their spectacular performance including heroes, heroines, a genie and a magic carpet. Audiences were left toe-tapping and clapping with big smiles on their faces!
The Year 5 Production is a cherished highlight on our Performing Arts calendar as our girls develop courage, creativity and compassion through acting, song and dance. It also provides our students with rich insights into the many other elements involved in stage production.
Congratulations to our Year 5 stars and staff on such an outstanding show!
Tonight’s final performance starts at 7pm; tickets can be purchased at the door.
Old scholars Aditi Tamhankar and Amy Rice relive their time as Aladdin and Jasmine in Year 5 with current cast members Dilini and Charlotte.
Saints Success at da Vinci Decathlon Finals
On Saturday 23 September, two teams of St Peter’s Girls students from Year 7 and Year 9 headed to Sydney to represent South Australia in the National Finals for the da Vinci Decathlon.
The da Vinci Decathlon is an academic competition designed to challenge and stimulate the minds of school students. Students compete in teams of eight across 10 disciplines: Engineering, Mathematics, Code Breaking, Art & Poetry, Science, English, Ideation, Creative Producers, Cartography and Legacy; this year’s theme was ‘Flight’.
Our Year 9 team placed first in four categories: Code Breaking, Art & Poetry, Ideation and Creative Producers. This earned them third place overall and makes them the top all-girls Year 9/10 Da Vinci team in Australia for 2023. The Year 7s also performed well, placing second in Art & Poetry and third in Cartography, well done girls!
On Monday, all the teams participated in a Race Around Sydney, a friendly competition involving a range of activities along the theme of flight, such as hoop throwing, semaphore with flags, cheerleading and activities that relied upon teamwork for success.
It was wonderful experience for all of the girls, involving collaboration, creativity and competition. We look forward to next year’s State da Vinci Competition in May 2024.
IGSSA Athletics Champions!
This week, Saints Girls took out The Reid Trophy at the IGSSA Athletics Carnival. 40 girls competed in the events and came out on top, beating Immanuel College by 45 points.
There were also some outstanding individual achievements, including Charlotte McAuliffe winning the Di Burge 100m Championship Trophy for the second year in a row and also getting a Championship Record in the Under 16, 200m. Charlotte now holds the record for the Under 14, Under 15 and Under 16 200m for IGSSA.
Elodie de Wit broke the record in the Under 15 3000m race, a record which has stood since 2010. The previous record holder was Sophie Linn – another Saints girl!
Saints also took out the pennants for Under 13, Under 14 and Under 15 age groups.
An amazing effort by all involved and very well lead by Athletics Captain, Amelia Lucas. Go Saints!

Community and Connection in the APY Lands
Our inaugural immersion to the APY Lands can be summarised using three words, community, connection and kindness. Ms Fryer, Mrs Burnett and five of our Year 11 students ventured 1200km north with an unwavering commitment to engage and learn.
The girls travelled to the schools located in the communities of Indulkana, Amata, Kenmore Park, Fregon and Ernabella. During the visits they taught Lacrosse, led STEM activities, played games and assisted with the styling of students for the Ernabella Dance.
Privileged to be taken out onto country, our girls showed the utmost respect, deeply listening to stories and being truly present at the beautiful landscapes they stood upon. They embodied our School values of compassion and courage wholeheartedly.
Our school communities will continue to connect through our shared love of dance and sport, strengthened now with a true understanding of our desires to both walk together.
We thank the members of the Adelaide Football Club, Adelaide Crows Foundation and Crimestoppers for supporting our School to travel alongside them.
Year 9s Kangaroo Island Adventure
Last week, the Year 9 students travelled to the beautiful Kangaroo Island. The girls took part in a variety of activities and sightseeing opportunities each day, some of which put the girls well outside of their comfort zone. The cold wind and rain on snorkelling and boogie-boarding day was challenging but the girls persevered and were surprised by the skills they learned.
Fortunately, the weather was perfect for our two hikes, we observed how resilient and hardy the Australian landscape is, having endured multiple bushfires in recent times, the regeneration was incredible. We waited, without luck, at a small pool in Flinder’s Chase hoping to catch a glimpse of a platypus in the wild.
One of the highlights of the week was attending an incredible raptor show. The girls were given the chance to hold kookaburras, owls and other raptors whilst learning about the rehabilitation process for these precious birds. The star of the show was Spook, the one-year-old white owl, who walked across our laps allowing us to pat him. Much to our horror, this cute little thing managed to devour a whole mouse in one gulp at the end of his presentation, which sparked lots of screaming.
Visiting Remarkable Rocks gave the students an opportunity for some quiet, reflective time as we contemplated the power of the ocean and took in the breathtaking views. Admiral’s Arch allowed us time to understand the world of the sea lion and enjoy watching them relax and bask in the sun.
Finally, the Year 9s were required to prepare meals using a Trangia. Sometimes cooking went well into the night as students waited for rice to boil regretting their choice of carbohydrate as they enviously watched their peers eat gnocchi that conveniently cooked in two minutes. Popular comments on the experience included ‘hey, I’m cooking this at home!’ or ‘there’s dirt in my pasta’.
Overall, the challenges on Year 9 camp required the girls to function outside their comfort zone, overcome fears, take calculated risks, work together as a team and trust their classmates.
We were so very proud of the way the girls faced their fears, came together as a class and rose to the significant physical and emotional challenges. It was a journey that will be marked in their memories for years to come.
‘Camp was an amazing experience, I loved bonding with my class and the boogie boarding because it was so fun and enjoyable. At first, I was a bit scared going on camp but I am so happy I went because I had an amazing time and wish I was still there.’
– Evie 9ANKE
‘I really enjoyed visiting Remarkable Rocks, as it was a great experience and there were spectacular views.’
– Charlotte 9KABU
‘Personally, one of the highlights for me was when my class gathered around the campfire, sharing our stories and reflecting on our experiences promoting such a positive atmosphere whilst fostering long-lasting bonds between classmates.’
– Eliza 9SEN
Year 10s Head to the Flinders Ranges
Last week the Year 10s went to the Flinders Ranges for camp. We were given the opportunity to complete a variety of activities, including bush walking, mountain biking, abseiling and rock climbing. We faced challenges such as the heat and the insane number of flies.
During the week, each House hiked up Mt Arden which bonded each Home Group together as the hike proved to be a struggle for many. Mountain biking was a very new and scary experience for most, and almost everyone did it without a fall. I really enjoyed creating new memories and friendships with people in my Home Group. On behalf of the Year 10 students, we would like to thank our camp instructors and teachers for supporting us and giving us this opportunity that we are all grateful for.

Year 12 Family Breakfast
This morning, Year 12 students and their families joined staff on Chiverton Lawns for a shared breakfast. Blessed with sunshine, coffee and good company, the morning was a wonderful opportunity to gather informally as we near the end of the schooling journey for our Year 12 cohort. It was lovely to reconnect with families and to see the girls relaxed and outdoors not worrying about final assignments or tests but instead laughing with friends reflecting on their time at school. Thank you to all who joined us and to those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. Events such as these continue to add to the wonderful sense community we have here at Saints Girls, a community equally unique as it is special.

Saints Girls Compete eSports at Fuse Cup
Four pairs from St Peter’s Girls travelled to Pulteney Grammar School on Wednesday to compete in the Fuse Cup – Rocket League – eSports Tournament . What is eSports you may ask? A multiplayer video game played competitively for spectators, typically by professional gamers. What is Rocket League you may ask? Its soccer but with cars as players.
Mr Coulter, Mr Irvine and our school eSport captain Mya travelled with the team, with Andi and Cleo making it through to the quarterfinals. With home ground advantage, the team from Pulteney Grammar took home the Fuse Cup Trophy.
Most of our girls had never played the game before and having only three weeks training, each teammate put in a huge effort for an amazing trip. This event has been a great opportunity for each team.
This all followed on from our recent success with the Mario Kart Tournament held in Term 2 where again Andi finished 2nd overall. Keep an eye out for more APEX led competitions in the future!
Voyage of Learning for Year 4
On Friday 22 September, the Year 4 students visited the South Australian Maritime Museum. The excursion linked with our central idea, ‘Exploration has led to discovery and change’ through the transdisciplinary theme, ‘Where we are in place and time’.
The students participated in several activities; viewing the museum’s current exhibition through a self-guided tour, a tour of a replica ketch, a presentation about Australia’s first encounters and a boat ride on the Archie Badenoch on the Port River, led by a man named James (not Cook, the students confirmed). The students enjoyed sketching figureheads, spotting jellyfish, navigating the museum and completing the scavenger hunt aboard the ketch. The students shared some personal comments regarding the excursion:
‘I am very glad I don’t have a sandbag for a pillow and mattress!’
– Ella
‘Caw caw went the seagulls as the Archie from World War II whooshed through the water.’
– Liza
‘In the lowest level of the museum we saw how the beds on the ships had changed over time. The quality was really bad. As soon as I sat on the bed, it was rock hard! I could not believe people had to sleep on that!’
– Faye
‘Ketches are types of ships, they can carry livestock such as sheep, cows and food. Did you know that some ships have cats on them to scare the mice/mouse away from the ship?’
– Esther

Adventure in the French Alps
On Monday 18 September, the Year 8 French classes visited the Palace Nova Cinema in Prospect to watch Belle and Sebastian: The Next Generation. This French film is about 10-year-old Sebastian reluctantly spending his school holidays with his aunt and grandmother in the beautiful French Alps. Sebastian soon learns how different farm life is compared to city life, which he has always known. Sebastian unenthusiastically helps his grandmother herd and take care of the sheep – but that’s all before he meets Belle, a massive mountain dog who has been mistreated by her owner. Ready to go to great lengths to fight the injustice and protect his fluffy friend, Sebastian spends the craziest and most memorable summer of his life fighting for what’s right. This film showcased country lifestyle in France, picturesque visuals of the French Alps, as well as providing authentic French in real-life conversations and contexts. The Year 8s thoroughly enjoyed this film and look forward to seeing more French films in the future.

Year 8s Dance Their Way to Cultural Understanding
Last week our Year 8 Chinese students had an unforgettable experience as they participated in an exciting Chinese dance workshop. During this workshop, they learned how to use traditional Chinese fans and water sleeves for dance performances, compared different dance types from around the world, and successfully translated their newfound knowledge into a group dance choreography at the workshop’s conclusion.
This workshop provided not only an educational experience but also an opportunity for cultural exchange. Students were actively engaged in the lesson, acquiring skills and movements in Chinese dance, and immersing themselves in Chinese traditional culture. They demonstrated excellent teamwork and talent throughout the workshop.
Following the workshop, students gathered to enjoy bubble tea, adding a delightful flavour to their cultural experience.
The Chinese dance workshop was a fun and educational adventure, and students perceived it as an opportunity to deepen their understanding and respect for different cultures. We eagerly anticipate more cultural exchange activities in the future, enabling our students to continue growing and learning.

Fundraising for Lisa Fahey Foundation
This week, Saints Girls have been honoured to support the Lisa Fahey Foundation; a non-profit foundation who extends financial assistance, kindness and support to families with a parent or caregiver suffering from cancer.
Old Scholar Amelia Fahey (Patteson 2011) and her father Steve visited the School and shared how the Foundation was established in 2005, in memory of Lisa Fahey and her wish to help families faced with cancer. Since its inception, the Foundation, which partners with the Royal Adelaide Hospital Cancer Centre and Cancer Centre at Flinders Medical Centre, has assisted more than 250 families with a parent or carer who has cancer. On Wednesday, the SRC hosted a sausage sizzle, ran various activities and wore a yellow accessory to raise funds for the Foundation, generating a total of $1,230. Well done girls!

Junior School sport has wrapped up for another term.
