At St. Peter’s College we believe that by providing a rich, relevant and diverse curriculum, students have the best possible opportunities to strive for excellence, and to explore and develop their gifts and abilities.
The Culture of Learning underpins the entire curriculum at St. Peter’s College. As a philosophy it seeks to:-
• Promote and recognise a commitment to excellence
