St Peter's College is a state-integrated Catholic co-ed composite College in Palmerston North, New Zealand. It serves approximately 731 students from Year 7 to Year 13. The school's campus includes the historic St Anskar's Chapel, which was given to the school by the Dannevirke Catholic community.
Margaret Leamy is Principal,[3] and the school is divided into a junior school (years 7–10) and a senior school (years 11–13) with each group having a head boy and head girl with the latter being school-representative.
Students and teachers alike are divided into four houses, named after the first four bishops or archbishops of Wellington. The houses compete annually for the House Shield, involving many house led competitions, like Parables (a short drama based on a Biblical parable), House Kapa Haka, House Singing and so on, as well as serving an organisational purpose for the students:
St Peter's Rugby Union 1st XV plays traditional matches against four other Catholic Schools. The schools are: St John's College, Hastings; Francis Douglas Memorial College, New Plymouth; Cullinane College, Wanganui (formerly St Augustines); and Chanel College, Masterton. Traditional games are played on an annual basis, with home and away legs alternating.
The following persons were educated at St. Peter's College, Marist Brother's High School, St. Joseph's High School and St. Patrick's Intermediate, Palmerston North, New Zealand.
