The
Peninsula
School
is an
independent
school
in
association
with the
Anglican
Church
of
Australia.
As such,
we are
committed
to
Christian
values
and we
encourage
our
students
to
explore
the
spiritual
dimensions
to their
lives
and to
follow
Christian
ethics,
whilst
respecting
the
beliefs
of those
from
other
faiths.
A
person’s
spiritual
development
is
considered
to be as
important
as their
physical,
emotional,
social
and
intellectual
development.
All
students
from
Prep to
Year 10
undertake
Religious
Education
as part
of the
curriculum,
while in
Years 11
and 12
the VCE
course
is
optional.
As they
progress
through
the
School,
students
are
given
opportunity
to
examine
and
respond
to the
claims
of the
Christian
Faith
and so
develop
their
own
spiritual
understanding.
School
assemblies
and
Chapel
Services
are
attended
by all
students
and
these
include
worship.
In
addition
students
may
choose
to
attend
the
weekly
Communion
service.
The
School
acknowledges
the
cultural
and
religious
diversity
of
contemporary
Australian
life.
Students
are
encouraged
to
understand
the
religious
views of
others
in order
to
develop
tolerance
and
appreciation
of
beliefs
different
to their
own.
