Everyone is welcome

We are an Anglican School and welcome boys from all backgrounds into our safe, inclusive and invitational faith learning environment.

The Christian faith is at the centre of the School’s focus on enriching the minds, bodies and spirits of its students. Influencing every part of the life of the School, the Christian faith is actively taught and practised.

Students are involved in engaging, relevant and dynamic Chapel services led by our School Chaplains. They are encouraged to explore their spirituality, consider their faith and express what they believe. They are challenged, within contexts such as worship, the classroom and pastoral conversations, to reflect on the meaning of faith for their own lives.

As stipulated in the Act of Incorporation in 1849 “prayers shall be said every morning before school work begins… and the business of the School shall always be concluded by a form of prayer.”

Religious Studies is an integral part of our curriculum with the teachings of Jesus the inspiration for how we engage with and treat one another irrespective of race, colour or creed. St Peter’s College has been, and remains, a morally formative institution.

“Because we are Anglican we follow the example and teaching of Jesus, while also ensuring the stories of others are welcomed, heard, explored and respected.”

Day students attend Chapel during the week and the boarders attend a service on Sunday evenings. A voluntary service of Holy Communion is celebrated most Wednesdays at 8.00am.

Across the year a range of services are held including Ash Wednesday, Eucharist, weekly musters in the Senior School and fortnightly Assemblies in the Junior School.

As part of the Religious Studies curriculum, students learn about Baptism and Holy Communion with learning culminating in an invitation for Admission to First Communion.

 

“The sermons and homilies in Chapel and Muster… have helped me understand how precious life is and to appreciate the importance of helping people.”
