We are proud of our high academic results and closely monitor each student’s learning pathway. At St Peter’s we work to continually refine our practice to benefit the learner.

Academic Success
St Peter’s College is rightly proud of its reputation for high levels of academic achievement. Students consistently return results in NCEA Examinations that exceed those of similar New Zealand secondary schools.
Our students are encouraged to achieve their personal best and our committed and hard-working teachers foster a sense of pride in achievement and a confidence in students whatever their abilities.
Each student's academic progress is monitored through meaningful assessment opportunities, fortnightly reports, and meetings with academic and pastoral staff to discuss progress and wellbeing.

“The school’s Catholic character is highly evident in the culture of care that underpins the strong pastoral support system. There are positive relationships among students and between students and staff.”
“Students learn in settled environments and are focused on their learning. They feel well supported to achieve their personal goals.”

International Students
At St Peter’s College we value cultural diversity and enjoy the presence of a significant number of international students who enrich our community. Our Director of International Students is highly experienced in teaching and caring for international students from all over the world.
"St Peter's has provided a strong foundation towards further education for our children. We found the staff to be supportive and caring inside and outside of the school, and always interested in where their chosen fields have taken our children."

Special Character
St Peter’s College was set-up in 1969 by the Institute of Charity (the Rosminian Order) and the Sisters of Mercy as the first co-educational Catholic school in Australia and New Zealand. The school is based on Christian principles within the Catholic tradition. Our three key values are compassion, commitment and community. The College Motto Charity Fulfils the Law underpins our vision for young people.
Boarding House
Rosmini House, a co-education, on-site boarding establishment provides a home away from home for students in Years 7-13. Led by a team of dedicated staff and set amongst several hectares of landscaped green space, our boarding house offers students both academic support and a full programme of activities.
