As we approach the last week of Term 4, we’d like to say thank you to all of our students, teachers, staff and familiesyou are the reason St Peters is such a wonderful place to learn and grow.

21.01.2022 As part of our Unit of Inquiry ‘How the World Works’, Year 6 students enjoyed an excursion to Bayside Park, Manly. The day’s program is run by the Moreton Bay Environmental Education Centre. The students adopt the role of Environmental Managers and explore up to three different marine environments to discover how living things are affected by the physical environment and how human activity impacts upon this. They focus on the impact of microplastics on marine organisms and the interconnection between the organisms themselves. They will observe and catalogue marine debris, investigating possible impacts of this on these marine environments.

19.01.2022 Congratulations to the 2020 Years 10-12 recipients of Awards and Scholarships who were acknowledged at today's annual Scholars Assembly. They were joined, and supported, by peers, family and friends in the PAC before Old Scholars made their way to the Academic Hub to place their names on the 'wall of fame'. Congratulations students, past and present!

19.01.2022 Can you believe it’s already been a week since our 2020 Year 12s left the College for the final time? Since graduating, they’ve continued to leave a mark on the wider community and have already made news headlines for the way they’ve been conducting themselves at the coast. We could not be prouder and look forward to hearing more about what they get up to in the future. Seniors of 2020, we wish you all the best as you begin to navigate life after high school. Go Saints! #FlashbackFriday St Peters Lutheran College Boarding SPOSA St Peters Old Scholars Association (Music: https://www.bensound.com)

14.01.2022 Our Year 6 students enjoyed unwinding with a picnic in the Thomas Park Bougainvillea Gardens yesterdaythe perfect way to celebrate their last days in the Primary Years. This tradition, of celebration and play, has been in place for several years now and we were glad we could keep it up despite the pandemic this year.

14.01.2022 This year, St Peters entered three teams (one U17s and two U15s) in the Brisbane Basketball Inc. (BBI) competition. This was the first time that College has participated in the local competition and it provided an opportunity for students to extend their Basketball season and further develop their skills. Our teams were very competitive and came away with two Premierships for their efforts. All players showed great commitment to their sport and each other throughout the club season and should be very proud of themselves. Thank you to Head Coach, Orhan Memedovski, and the team coaches for giving up their time to run the program. #GoSaints!
