Our School
St Peter’s Primary School is a welcoming Catholic community founded by the Brigidine sisters in 1955. Our school is committed to providing an innovative curriculum and encouraging all students to achieve their personal best in all facets of their school life and inspires a passion for lifelong learning. We are a diverse community that works in partnership with families to ensure the best possible outcomes for the children in our care.
We have a professional team of staff who provide challenging, child-centred learning experiences. Students at St Peter’s Primary School learn in a respectful, safe and caring environment in which they are encouraged and empowered to reach their full potential and to act responsibly. Our journey in faith is greatly supported by our Parish Priest, Fr Andrew McCarter.
