Hear from some of our parents and students what they like most about the School.
"From the very beginning, our family has felt welcomed and cherished by the SPC staff and community. Although, our eldest child has since moved on to high school, the teachers still ask after her and we are looking forward to our third child starting prep in a couple of years. SPC is a place where each individual’s strengths and talents are recognised while still building a strong sense of community and teamwork. We also value the school’s involvement in charitable acts of service and the explicit teaching of the Chanel virtues to our children. If you are looking to join a community, not just a school, SPC is the place for you."
Anna Hendry - Current Parent
"We have two children at St Peter Chanel and we absolutely love it! My son and daughter have had the best possible start to their formal education! The community feel, support, one-to-one devices, school values plus all of the wonderful families who have become family friends as a result of meeting at the school are just some of the things we love!"
Holly Mitchell – Past Parent
"We love SPC! Our children have all thrived here. The teachers and all staff are friendly and know the students by name. The school has beautiful grounds, great facilities and a wonderful community."
Ali Ferguson – Current Parent
"Finding SPC unearthed a gem. We were initially attracted to the size of the school, and liked the community-minded approach and leadership team. We like the way the bigger kids are buddies to the little kids. Our kids are growing up happy and secure. Most of all, we really value the holistic approach to teaching - academic, sport, emotional, behavioural. The school's values, in particular integrity and charity, were important to us and the whole-student approach is helping our kids learn. We also appreciate how the learning support team partners with students who need additional support: be that stretching high achievers or helping others achieve classroom goals."
Cate and Adam Sweeney - Current Parents
"St Peter Chanel is a school where, as a student or a parent, you always feel welcomed by the teachers, school officers, and of course, the other students… When I started Prep, I was only 4 and a half years old… You would think that someone this age would be quite nervous on their first day, but instead when I walked into my Prep classroom, I immediately felt comfortable and safe when I saw my teacher's welcoming smile. I am sure that your children will have this same experience with our lovely Prep teachers."
Charlotte P – Past Student
"SPC continues to impress me! The teachers and administration were so supportive and encouraging during the home school period - and the technology provided was perfect for our needs! Such a great place to start our daughters’ educational journey - a perfect stepping stone into our high school of choice."
Jayne Burridge – Current Parent
"St Peter Chanel is a school where at heart lies, a uniquely beautiful community with amazing teachers across all year levels… The school virtues of Charity, Hope, Acceptance, Nurture, Excellence and Love are at the heart of school life. They have taught me to be a better person at this school… I can honestly and enthusiastically say your children will love St Peter Chanel. Our community is kind and loving, we have great teachers across all year levels, and your children will have the opportunity to make friends that should last a lifetime."
Oliver E – Past Student
