Our School theme for 2021 is ‘LET LOVE LIVE!’. Each year we align our focus with one of our
statements from our school vision. In 2021 we focus on being a Community in Learning and how
we can continue to build an engaging and enriching environment that nurtures growth in each
person.
Our 2021 theme is centered around exploring a variety of experiences for students, staff and our
community to give practical expression to love in action. This year we have introduced the idea
of ‘heartprints’. Just like we have handprints or can leave footprints in the sand, a heartprint is
the impression left by an act of kindness. Our staff and students are already thinking about ways
we can Let Love Live at St Peter’s and leave many heartprints.
Our School Motto is ‘Learning through Christ’ and this year we reflect on the ways that Jesus
Let Love Live. Through his teachings and actions, we have many examples from scripture of
how Jesus expressed God’s love through acts of kindness, compassion, forgiveness.
We will also learn more throughout the year about St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, Australia’s
first Saint, and how she saw God’s love in everyone she met and the many ways she was an
example of love to the people in the early Catholic communities and schools which she helped to
establish.
Our theme ‘LET LOVE LIVE!’ reminds us that at the heart of everything we do is the Christian
belief that each of us is made by love, for love in, the image of God and therefore has an intrinsic
dignity as a child of God and is to be treated with love, care and respect.
