Principal Business Manager
Under the NSW Education Act a registered non government school must have policies and procedures that ensure its participation in
annual reporting to publicly disclose the educational and financial performance measures and policies of the school. St Peter’s Anglican
College complies with this obligation by posting this Annual Report on the school’s website. It is located at
www.stpetersbroulee.nsw.edu.au. The website also contains a full list of existing school policies covering student welfare policies,
discipline policies, complaints and grievances resolution policies. Additional information as evidence of compliance with the Education Act
is included in this Annual Report.

Background
St Peter’s Anglican College is a Kindergarten to Year 12 co‐educational day school on the Far South
Coast of New South Wales.
In 2017 the College had students in all classes from Kindergarten to Year 12 for the ninth year.
The College opened in 2003 with two permanent buildings and one temporary administration
building. In the first nine years of operation the College has enjoyed steady growth with numbers
increasing to 508 by the beginning of 2013, having started with 46 in its first year.
Developments from Foundation until 2016 have been planned according to need and finance.
A general teaching block comprising four classrooms, two offices, staffroom, toilets and
mezzanine tutorial area for the commencement of 2005.
Growth continued and for 2009 a further two seminar rooms and two additional classroom
blocks (4 classrooms and 2 offices) were added. The oval was also upgraded. An additional
demountable building was brought on site for Term 4 due to the expanding Junior School
roll.
During 2009 plans were drawn for three projects under the Federal Governments Building
Education Revolution. The projects were under the Pride Scheme (an oval), under the
Primary section (a Library) and under the Secondary section (a Languages Centre). All three
applications were approved. The oval was completed in 2009 and the building of the
Language Centre commenced. The Library project started in 2010. All projects were
completed by September 2010. Plans were also discussed for the provision of another block
of 2 classrooms and an office. This was also available by Semester 2, 2010.

Aims of the College
The aims of St Peter’s Anglican College are specified in section 3.1 of the Diocesan Schools Ordinance
1998, and in the Ethos Statement for Anglican Schools’ prepared by the Diocesan Schools Council of
the Anglican Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn.
The Ethos Statement defines the aims of the College as:
1. To provide a co‐ordinated and integrated approach to education so that Christian spirituality,
values and belief are encouraged throughout life.
2. To provide excellent education, offering a broad curriculum and a wide range of
extracurricular activities.
3. To provide an opportunity for children and their families to relate to the Christian faith,
recognising that many would not have had contact with traditional parish life; and to
develop a significant worship community which demonstrates Christian compassion in caring
for others and which builds and maintains close links with one or more local parish churches.
4. To prepare students within a disciplines school community to be broadly educated,
responsible, confident, empathetic and compassionate contributors to the well‐being of
society.
Educational Philosophy
St Peter’s Anglican College provides families of the Eurobodalla Shire with an independent, Anglican,
low fee and co‐educational school.
The emphasis is on quality and students are given an excellent education that is relevant for the
present whist preparing them to become successful, contributing members of their community for
the future.
The College seeks to enhance each student’s full potential by developing the knowledge, skills,
attitudes and spiritual awareness they need to understand themselves, their relationship with others
in the context of Christian values and the world at large. In 2015 the College updated the following
Vision and Values Statements:

St Peter’s Visions and Values
The St Peter’s community is focused on achieving one’s best, continuous improvement and
teamwork. This is achieved by forging authentic relationships built on trust, respect and integrity.
Our staff constantly model and reinforce the importance of preparation, effort, honest self‐
reflection and meaningful feedback. The College has three key touchstones: Faith, Courage and
Excellence.
The College Community believes FAITH:
is expressed through our actions, words, thoughts and relations with Christ and others;
reinforces the importance of Pastoral Care and Anglican virtues such as compassion, giving,
sharing and gratitude;
establishes a nurturing community built on trust, acceptance and forgiveness; and
results from a greater understanding of self and the world around them.
The College Community believes COURAGE:
develops resilience, determination and accountability;
allows individuals to set and reach personal goals despite hardship and adversity;
is required to establish socially just communities; and
promotes doing your best, without fear of failure.
The College Community believes EXCELLENCE:
results from high expectations, motivation and endeavour;
is an individual journey where one continuously aspires to do one’s best;
involves the delivery of quality learning practices within collaborative and supportive staff
and student relationships; and
is achieved by learners who are curious, creative and critical thinkers.

Message from the Chairman of the College Board
It is an honour to endorse the St Peter’s Anglican College Annual Report for 2017. Under the
leadership of Mr Graeme Hincksman and more recently Mr Darren McPartland, the College
continues to offer students a broad range of opportunities and challenges.
The Board has continued to foster an environment that supports students to develop in academic,
spiritual, artistic, practical and sporting domains. Collegiality has been nurtured, along with
leadership skills and service to the community. Students are challenged to take responsibility for
their own decisions and their consequences. St Peter’s Anglican College offers its local community a
challenging curriculum in a safe and supportive learning environment.
The Board continues to develop its understanding of governance in a not‐for‐profit, Anglican school
educational context. The Board is compliant with NESA requirements for Board members of
independent schools.
I commend this report as an outline of the College’s development in a range of areas, which gives
confidence for the future of the College.

Board Chair

From the President of the Parents’ and Friends’ Association
The Parents and Friends Association (P&F) of St Peter’s Anglican College represents an important link between the parents, students, Principal, teaching and administrative staff and our local Eurobodalla community. As a P&F, we are fortunate to have a keen, passionate and enthusiastic team of parents/carers who take a vested interest in all aspects of the College. We are also supported by our Leadership Team who attend the nine meetings each year. The purposes of the P&F are varied. Fundraising for key projects that support and enhance the College learning environment is one of our main objectives. Others include providing a forum for parents and carers to learn and ask questions about the College through presentations by the Leadership team and our College Principal. Also, organising social events for our students that support the College such as special food days, Milo and Muffins morning teas which our students enjoy and we provide a canteen at our school sporting events and family events such as the Carols. In October 2017, the SkyBlaze committee organised the second SkyBlaze; an afternoon of fireworks, rides and entertainment at St Peter’s. It was estimated that over 5,000 people attended from the local area and $39,000 was raised from the event. These funds have been used to provide much needed equipment for the Science Department, air conditioning in the Senior and Junior School, funding for HSIE projects and the Music Department, a commercial fridge for the Food Technology Department, banners, marquees and resuscitation mannequins for PDHPE. Funding for Junior School projects has also been allocated. This event could not take place without the time and effort invested in the event by the SkyBlaze committee (parents/carers of students) and our staff at St Peter’s. It is a testament to our school community that we are able to join together for this event to welcome the Eurobodalla families into our wonderful school. Julie Wilks P&F President

St Peter’s continues to offer a high selection of courses, considering its size. We saw a reduction in
the number of Bands 5 and 6, which was in keeping with expectations based on cohort NAPLAN
performance and professional conversations. Many students performed well above personal
expectations.
St Peter’s will continue to monitor individual subject trends in future reports to ensure
accountability of all courses in relation to like schools and state performance.

4.1.1
The College draws its students from a wide area. The College is located halfway between Batemans
Bay and Moruya in the seaside village of Broulee. Transport to the College for most students is by
bus or private car. Some walk or ride bikes.
Students travel from Narooma in the South to Durras in the North. Some are from rural areas out
from the townships and villages of the area.
The community is diverse in its employment but the area does have higher than average
unemployment.
Many parents work outside of the area daily. The distance and bus services have had an impact
upon the co‐curricular programme. As a result most co‐curricular occurs during the school day
(lunchtimes etc) or immediately after the school day.
4.1.2 Nature of the Student Population
The majority of the students are Caucasian. 2.5% of students recognise their Aboriginal heritage.
The College was founded as an Anglican School by the Canberra Goulburn Diocese. There is an
expectation that students will accept the Ethos Statement at the time of enrolment. All students are
accepting of this and participate in College events as required.

5 Policies
Enrolment Policy
The enrolment policy for the College is set by The St Peter’s Anglican College Ordinance (2000) and
Diocesan Schools Ordinance (1998). Included in the Goals and Principles for the operation of
diocesan schools is the statement that “Diocesan Schools…will aim to provide a high quality,
integrated educational experience from a variety of backgrounds…(and) to cater for students with a

structure affordable by the average family; and have enrolment policies which are non
discriminatory, encourage parents to have sympathy and support the educational philosophy and
ethos of the school; give consideration to students with special needs; and provide for exceptional
circumstances”.
The enrolment practice at the school is in keeping with the policy. All student enrolments are
treated without influence of religion, race or creed. Exceptional circumstances are considered on an

9 Principal’s Comments
St Peter’s is a co‐educational College offering places from Kindergarten to Year 12. The College
seeks, by adherence to its own mission statement based on the ethos statement for Anglican
Schools, to advance the Mission of the Diocese.
Our aim is that each student should reach their personal and academic potential. We have sought to
provide opportunities for a wide range of activities and interests within the limitations of our
context. For instance, many of our students travel long distances to attend the College reducing the
time available for out of hours activities.
In 2019 the College embarks on adding genuine real‐life learning programs across all stages. Primarily these programs will operate within the environmental, community garden and market garden areas. Building the required facilities will take place towards the end of 2018 and into 2019. Planning is well underway to provide improved facilities in the TAS area. 2018 saw a great improvement with our connection into the wider Eurobodalla community. We plan to increase this further in 2019 with a particular emphasis on community service.
