Welcome to our website...... St Peter’s School is a co-educational Catholic Primary School established in 1976 by the Presentation Sisters. It is now well established with modern facilities and set on 5 spacious hectares in the heart of Brisbane’s rapidly growing south-east. The buildings are strategically placed to preserve the beautiful park-like grounds.  St. Peter’s has a current full time enrolment of approximately 400 students from Prep through to Year 7, and a staff of approximately 35 made up of full time, part time and specialist teaching and non-teaching members. Administered by Brisbane Catholic Education, St Peter’s School has access to a network of professional development, support staff and shared resources. The school provides an authentic experience of Catholic Christian community by promoting Gospel values within our school and the wider community. Carolyn Watson - Principal

• The Staff: who provided the food for the morning tea
• The Staff and students: who helped set up for the morning tea
• The Liturgy Group (Year 7) for organising the students who participated in the Mass
• The Staff and students who played and sang at the Mass.
  
  A HUGE thank you to the mums who made, organised and staffed the Mother’s Day stall all of last Thursday and again on Friday morning. Although our donations were down a little from previous years we still managed to raise a total of $2700, which we are sure will come in handy purchasing extra resources for our students. Thanks again to all involved in helping us create another successful Mothers Day stall. Everyone appreciates your efforts and the products you provided.
