In the Primary Years, we are committed to developing students who are not only knowledgeable but also capable of thinking critically, communicating effectively, and managing their learning. As part of our journey as an International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) Candidate School, we are embedding the Approaches to Learning (ATL) into every aspect of our teaching and learning.
The ATL skills—Thinking, Communication, Research, Self-Management, and Social Skills—serve as the foundation for students to become independent, inquiry-driven learners. These skills help students analyse ideas, express themselves clearly, collaborate with others, and take responsibility for their learning. By explicitly teaching and reinforcing these skills within our Units of Inquiry, we create deeper, more meaningful learning experiences.
One of the key aspects of ATL is its connection to language and communication. To support student growth, we use differentiated language functions that scaffold learning. For example, students use sentence stems such as "One problem I see is…", "Based on the evidence…", or "To organise myself, I will…" to structure their thinking and self-reflection. By providing these tools, we empower students to articulate their understanding, set goals, and reflect on their progress.
Embedding the ATL across the curriculum ensures that students develop essential life skills that extend beyond the classroom. Whether it is through research, problem-solving, or collaboration, we are equipping our learners with strategies that will serve them well into the future.
As we continue our PYP journey, we invite our community to support and engage in discussions about how we can further develop these skills in everyday learning. Together, we are shaping adaptable, confident, and internationally minded students who are ready to thrive in an ever-changing world.
In a Primary Years classroom, ATL comes to life through engaging, student-centred activities that develop thinking, communication, research, self-management, and social skills.
Thinking: Students analyse sources, evaluate solutions, and explain reasoning using structured prompts like "One pattern I noticed is…"
Communication: They collaborate in discussions, create digital presentations, and use storytelling to express ideas effectively.
Research: Inquiry-driven learning encourages students to ask questions, interpret data, and document findings.
Self-Management: Goal-setting, time management, and reflection journals help students take ownership of their learning.
Social: Group work, role-playing, and conflict-resolution activities foster cooperation, empathy, and problem-solving.
By embedding ATL skills into daily learning, we empower students to think critically, communicate confidently, and become independent, lifelong learners. Families will also have the opportunity to work alongside the teachers to set goals for their children using the ATLs at the upcoming parent-teacher interviews.

Ministry
Prayer
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Jesus in Luke 11:9–10
It was a simple solution to my problem. All I needed to do was go over the road to my neighbour, knock on their door and ask for milk. I was preparing for a visitor who I had invited to my house for afternoon tea, but when I went to the fridge minutes before I was expecting them, I discovered the problem. The scant milk I knew I had was skanky. It had well and truly passed its use-by date. Shock, horror, I had no milk for tea or coffee to accompany the biscuits and cake I had specifically bought. Not only was I not able to offer lite, soy, almond, trim, and lactose-free milk options, but I could not even offer just ordinary milk! How could I be the perfect host? What was I to do? After wracking my brain, I knew the only solution was simply to go over to my neighbour, knock on their door, and ask for help. Somehow, though, in that moment of frenzied problem solving, I could not come at the idea. I was new to the street. I had not met my neighbour, so rocking over there and asking for help was out of the question, so my anxious mind led me to believe. I just could not come at it.
Why is asking for help such an awkward thing for us to do? What is so difficult about going to another human being, even if they are not well known, admitting we are in need, and spitting out those words, ‘Can you help?’ Maybe it’s hard to say these words because we are proud creatures, self-sufficient people, too used to running on ego and our own devices and energy. Admitting that we are in need is a vulnerable thing to do before another person. Asking for help is beyond the comfort zone of some of us who are introverts or wouldn’t dare to talk to someone we don’t know that well. But opening ourselves up to ask for help is the only option at times in our lives when no other human can help us. Asking for help and knocking on the door of God is what the spiritual life requires of us. Asking, seeking, and knocking is a metaphor Jesus uses for prayer.
In Luke, Chapter 11, in his section on Jesus’ teaching on prayer, we are given a promise. After being asked by his disciples, ‘Teach us to pray?’ Jesus gave his followers what we call the Lord’s Prayer or Our Father; then we have a short parable and, finally, a promise. The promise Jesus gives us is that if we ask, we will receive; if we seek, we will find; and if we knock, the door will be opened to us.
Is Jesus asking us to come to him with our shopping lists of desires, and he will grant every request like a magical genie? Is prayer activating the genie in the bottle? No, prayer is not a one-way conversation of demands from us to God. It is a two-way relationship of listening as much as talking. Just like any caring and authentic relationship, there is mutual conversation and communication. Prayer is more about changing us than changing God. It involves stillness and solitude, attentiveness and awareness. Seeking the God who is the creator of all and waiting to be found in the joys and struggles of our daily lives each moment. A prayerful life knows where to turn to ask for help. A praying life can be a struggle but also a great blessing when we experience the goodness and loving care of a God who provides for our every need. A God who promises to open the door and give us his graciousness despite our reticence.

St Peters Lutheran College Uniform Policy
Since 1945, St Peters Lutheran College has valued its uniform as a unifying element for students. Over seven decades, while styles have evolved, the uniform's purpose remains: fostering belonging and connection to our unique educational and faith community.
A strong uniform culture supports our community values, commitment to excellence, and student ownership of behaviour. When students dress to high standards, their choices and actions tend to reflect these same standards, building self-discipline and self-respect.
The College maintains a conservative approach to our Student Dress Code. Our uniform is designed to instil both individual and collective pride in our identity. Following these standards helps develop character traits that prepare students for adult responsibilities where professional presentation matters.
All enrolled students are expected to wear the uniform correctly. As the uniform represents our College in the community, it should always be worn to a high standard—clean, neat, and properly maintained.
We encourage all students to consider what membership in the St Peters Lutheran College community means and to represent the College with pride whenever wearing the uniform.
