Foundation For The Future
We understand the importance of Year 12 in shaping our students' futures. As they embark on this pivotal year, our dedicated educators support and guide them towards achieving their Level 2 National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA). This prestigious milestone marks a significant achievement in their secondary education, opening doors to diverse opportunities.
Year 12 is a transitional time where students are encouraged to take on increased responsibility and embrace leadership roles, both academically and socially. Our students thrive in an environment that nurtures independent thinking and fosters a sense of ownership over their learning journey. With a more challenging curriculum, they are empowered to develop higher-level thinking skills, including critical analysis and evaluation.
The successful completion of NCEA Level 2 is a testament to the dedication and perseverance of our students. It serves as a solid foundation for their future endeavours, enabling them to pursue higher education or enter the professional world. St Peter's College is proud to provide a supportive and stimulating environment where Year 12 students can excel, unlocking their full potential and shaping a promising future.
Guiding Others To Be Great
Our Year 12 students are encouraged to engage in various extracurricular activities and community service projects to cultivate a sense of social awareness and responsibility. These endeavours provide them with invaluable opportunities to make a positive impact beyond the classroom.
As part of their involvement, Year 12 students may choose to participate in our Eucharistic Ministry at Mass, where they play an essential role in the spiritual life of our school community. Through this sacred service, they deepen their connection with their faith and contribute to the meaningful worship experiences of our students and staff.
Moreover, our Year 12 students may be asked to take on mentorship roles, guiding and supporting junior students along their educational journey. This responsibility allows them to develop their leadership and communication skills, fostering personal growth and preparing them for future endeavours.
By actively engaging in these experiences, Year 12 students demonstrate their commitment and dedication to the values of St Peter's College. They become role models within our school community, inspiring others through their integrity, compassion, and willingness to serve.
