Principal’s Message

Greetings!

I am delighted to welcome you to the Saint Peter’s International School website. Thank you for considering Saint Peter’s International School for your child’s learning and growing. SPIS is a Catholic School serving the families in Kelapa Gading, Indonesia. We promote high standards and expectations and work in partnership with parents and guardians to achieve the very best for our students.

The young people who attend SIPS today are growing up in a rapidly changing world. It is important that all students become independent learners who are flexible and able to embrace change. It is likely that they will take on many different roles throughout their working lives as the work place changes and the idea of a job for life is replaced by a more modern lifestyle in which many can expect to have different careers throughout working life. The ability to learn new skills becomes very important and students need to understand that they will work in an international context where their economic success is dependent on things that take place throughout the whole world. They must be able to understand and work with people from all over the world if they are to enjoy success themselves. At SPIS, we will actively develop our curriculum and the school environment to take this on board.

A great strength of our school is the warm, friendly atmosphere, which is always noticed by our visitors. Staff and students alike recognise the importance of a safe and secure school in which they can support one another and work to the best of their ability the whole time they are here. Our teaching and learning practices focus on helping young people make connections within themes, units of study and across academic disciplines. We cherish this dearly and want our students to be happy and successful. We want them to be the best they can in their studies and participate in extra-curricular activities. We believe they will be responsible citizens as adults and proud of their achievements.
