Our History
St Peter’s College was established as the first co-educational day and boarding school in Australasia for students from Year 7-13. It was originally staffed by the Rosminian Order (Institute of Charity) and the Sisters of Mercy. The school is based on Christian Values and the Catholic tradition.
The College was founded in 1969, after 17 years of fundraising by the Catholic community of Otago and Southland. The Rosminian Institute of Charity and the Sisters of Mercy assisted in the foundation of the school. The school’s motto Charity fulfils the law (Romans, 13) is also the motto of the Rosmini family and the Rosminians.
The College Foundation actively gathers and shares information about the history of our school as well as past staff and students. For more information, click here.
