About St Peter's College
Founded in 1847, St Peter's College is an Anglican boarding and day school for boys committed to being an exceptional community of learning centered on truth, respect and service.
With an established reputation for academic excellence, our aim is to instill in students the desire and capacity to consistently seek to improve their own lives and, importantly, that of those around them.
The School is located just two kilometres from the city centre on a single 80-acre campus. The magnificent grounds accommodate beautiful buildings, both historic and modern and the School's educational facilities and sports fields are excellent. Our modern, purpose built Boarding House provides accommodation for 100 students from within Australia and overseas.
Over 1550 students from diverse backgrounds and abilities are educated at the School from the Early Years to Year 12. This diversity contributes powerfully and directly to the quality of a boy's education. We are committed to being a boys' school that promotes responsible relationships and positive attitudes towards girls and women. We are uncompromising in being a safe and inclusive learning community respectful of diverse backgrounds of race and ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and nationality.
