Trust Respect Unity Excellence #TRUE Literacy & Numeracy Literacy At St Peter’s, we understand successful and continued literacy development for all students relies on the highest quality of teaching practice in this area. Literacy learners are provided with a supportive learning environment, developmentally appropriate learning experiences and engage in a range of highly effective instructional strategies. Our teaching approach is based on understanding the development of literacy acquisition, including responsive literacy learning pathways. These are based on student needs, skills and strategies, catering for diversity in learning. St Peter’s Literacy teaching approach incorporates a broad range of teaching pedagogies, balancing the use of structured explicit strategies with student-centred, authentic learning experiences. All literacy teaching and learning includes modelled, shared, guided and independent learning activities. Numeracy St Peter’s strongly affirms that in all areas of schooling, students who self-discover connections in their learning make their learning more meaningful and retainable. In numeracy, we are transforming our lessons from “mimicking lessons” to “thinking lessons.” Staff are regularly trained by Numeracy Leaders and Catholic Education officers in current numeracy practices. At St Peter’s, we are implementing lessons that follow a “Launch, Explore, Summarise” approach. Teachers cleverly Launch a problem or scenario, students are given time to Explore and this is followed by a teacher-led Summary. These lessons are designed to encourage students to make the mathematical links prior to being explicitly shown by teachers. Again, we are aiming to provide “thinking lessons” in numeracy. In conjunction to this, we also see value in explicitly teaching mathematical skills and processes. St Peter’s is extremely well-resourced with an array of hands-on numeracy resources. These are kept in a central hub in the school and teachers are aware of the available resources. Classrooms are well-equipped with an array of hands-on numeracy materials. Students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6 have regular access to Mathematics resources kept in their classrooms. Students in Junior Primary are provided with a “Take Home Maths Pack” with materials such as dice, playing cards and counters. With instruction and guidance from the classroom teacher, these packs promote mathematical fun and reinforcement in the home.

Trust Respect Unity Excellence #TRUE Science Sc ience at St Peter's is taught following the guidelines of the Western Australian Curriculum. This subject provides opportunities to experience the joy of scientific discovery and nurtures students’ natural curiosity about the world around them. Our students develop critical and creative thinking skills, and challenge themselves to identify questions and draw evidence-based conclusions using scientific methods. Students explore and determine ways to understand our world under the overarching concepts of: Biological Science; Chemical Science; Earth and Space Science; and Physical Sciences. Students develop an understanding of the following: important science concepts and processes; the practices used to develop scientific knowledge; the contribution of science to our culture and in our society; and the applications of science in our lives. Specialist Programs Music St Peter’s offers a diverse and comprehensive program of music from Pre Primary to Year 6. The classroom program follows the guidelines of the Western Australian Curriculum with a keen focus on vocal, aural, and instrumental skills using a sequential, play-based approach. Composition and improvisation are also encouraged. The music program utilises Kodaly methodology, Orff Schulwerk and Musical Futures pedagogy and includes: Recorder in Year 3. Keyboard in Year 4. Ukuele and Keyboard in Year 5. Ukuele in Year 6. Students may also choose to participate in our award-winning Choir, Concert Band, Guitar Ensemble, and Instrumental Program. Instruments on offer include: Classical Guitar Flute Clarinet Trumpet, Trombone, and Baritone Voice Dance and Drama We are excited to introduce Dance and Drama as a new specialist class this year! It is designed as an inclusive class for all students to develop new skills through the areas of Drama and Dance. This specialist area lends itself for all students to grow creatively, cooperatively and in confidence. In Dance and Drama lessons, students will participate in meaningful and engaging experiences that support development of problem solving and critical thinking. Physical Education Students at St Peter’s participate in Physical Education lessons. The lessons teach the skills to be physically active within the school and outer school community. Pre Primary - Year Two students learn fundamental movement skills. Students perform these skills in minor game play. Year Three - Six students combine fundamental movement skills with learning sport specific strategies. Students practise these skills in modified games. Students learn how to participate in an ethically and fair competitive sporting environment by participating in Swimming, Cross-Country and Athletic Carnivals. Italian Italian at St Peter’s allows students to be exposed to both the language and culture. Students learn by taking part in a variety of fun language games as well as in activities to broaden their Italian vocabulary knowledge. Every year, St Peter’s hosts ‘Italian Week!’ This wonderful experience allows both students and staff to sample Italian food and participate in Italian craft activities. Year 5 and 6 students enjoy being given the opportunity to take part in an Italian regional and restaurant Expo. Research and creativity are key components when learning a language! Visual Arts Participating in our Visual Arts Program allows students at St Peter's the opportunity to experience and explore the concepts of artists, artwork, and audience. Students experiment with ways of expressing ideas and communicating using a range of media. Two- and three-dimensional media and techniques such as drawing, painting, printing, pottery, printing, and collage are developed in weekly sessions. Connections are made to local, national, and international artists as students discover the importance of art in the world around us. They are encouraged to draw on what they know and to develop and practice their skills in a safe space where individuality and creativity are celebrated.
