At Peace we value each student as an individual and recognise all students grow and develop at different rates. This includes their development socially and emotionally. In the Australian Curriculum, the Personal and Social Capability addresses the need for schools to provide opportunities for students to develop in this area as they learn to understand themselves and others, and manage their relationships, lives, work and learning more effectively.

All students are encouraged and supported to develop the necessary skills to become a leader. We believe that students are not born leaders and that these skills require nurturing throughout their education at Peace. Through the curriculum and extra curricula activities, students are given opportunity to develop leadership skills. This ensures that all students view themselves as leaders and have equal opportunity to become leaders of Peace Lutheran Primary School.

At Peace each year level is allocated a Buddy class. Buddy classes spend time together building relationships. Some activities include eating lunch together, being creative with art and craft, playing games, reading together or doing something nice for each other. Year 5 have buddies at the Gatton Kindergarten allowing them to build friendships in preparation for when the younger students attend school. Our Year 6 students are ``buddied up`` with our Preppies enabling a smooth transition for the younger students as they begin their journey at Peace.

Our teacher librarian and library assistant staff support children and teachers with research, resources and reading material. Organized lunch time activities encourage children to access the Resource Centre during breaks. Children are encouraged to borrow reading material from the library regularly.

Children at Peace participate in weekly music lessons conducted by our music specialist teacher. Private lessons are also made available depending on the access to instrumental teachers.

Each year the Dance Fever Company conducts dance lessons with all classes. This culminates in an end of year school dance.

At Peace Lutheran Primary School we understand that students have different learning styles and interests, and may learn at a different pace or in a different way to their peers. With a diverse range of abilities within each year level, we recognise that some students have additional learning needs and require assistance to help them achieve success at a level suitable to them. Our Education Support Teacher works in partnership with all classroom teachers to carefully monitor and support student progress. Students with a disability, learning difficulty or learning difference are identified and the best form of support is developed. This may comprise of inclusive support in the classroom offered by the teacher aide or individual or small groups of students being withdrawn from the class to participate in Short Course programs planned and implemented by the Education Support teacher (usually focused on literacy and/or numeracy skills). Intensive programs, including MiniLit and MacqLit are also offered to students struggling with reading, who meet the program requirements. We believe that each student is unique and has the capacity to learn. We believe that collaboration between the Education Support Teacher, classroom teacher, parents and students is the most important element in ensuring a successful education.

Inclusive fees cover the cost of many sporting activities - dance fever, fees for buses to sporting activities, registration fees, swimming lessons and entry into the pool. All students participate in weekly Physical Education Lessons lead by the Physical Education Teacher and supplemented by the classroom teachers. In these lessons students have the opportunity to learn and participate in a variety of sports such as lawn bowls, ten pin bowling, golf, gymnastics, bike safety, basketball, footsal, rugby league and Aussie rules just to name a few. Year 5 and 6 participate in interschool sporting opportunities such as soccer, cricket, netball and softball each term. After school sports practice is offered ‘in season’ and extra-curricular activities are offered through interested teachers and community members. Our sports houses – Amity (Peace), Creed (Faith) and Valour (Courage) – compete in swimming, athletics and cross county competitions. Age champion medals are awarded at the swimming, cross country and athletics carnivals to children in year 3-6. Because the children in P-2 are still young and developing their skills, the sporting focus is based on non-competitive, fun activities where all children can participate and receive a sense of achievement.

As new technologies continue to change the world in which we live, they also provide many new and positive educational benefits for classroom instruction. To encourage this growth, students in Years 5 and 6, and students in other year levels by negotiation, at Peace Lutheran Primary School may now bring their own iPad device to campus. With the introduction of the Technologies Curriculum Peace has embraced iPad’s as a tool for students to engage with and respond to learning within their classroom and home environments. Use of iPads at Peace enhances traditional teaching methods through alternative avenues of researching, exploring, developing and producing work in their classrooms. Peace continues to explore this new curriculum through Professional Development for teachers and continual review of our procedures and practices using iPads and devices in the classroom.

Camping is an integral part of our curriculum program. Peace has an annual school camping/excursion programme that operates for all classes. Camps have direct links to the curriculum and are planned to give children a wide cross section of experiences. Camps begin with a one night sleep-over in Year 1, 2 and 3 and Years 4, 5 and 6 spending 3 days and two nights at camp. Camps are scheduled to incorporate bush, beach and leadership experiences and are included in school fees meaning parents have no extra cost.
