CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE
ST PETER’S College – a dynamic, young, Anglican co-educational high school – was born out of the St Peter’s Preparatory in 1998. The opening of the co-ed college was a response to a shortage of independent co-ed high schools in the Sandton area and the need to provide education to prepare students to the changing local and international environments. The college aims to develop pupils who are confident and resilient, and who make a meaningful contribution to South Africa and the world at large, irrespective of the career they choose. Since opening its doors with only 90 pupils from grades 8 to 10, six fulltime and three-part time educators, St Peter’s College continues to successfully fulfil its founding mandate. It prides itself in offering all its pupils an opportunity to excel on all fronts, be it in the academics where they are challenged to become independent, critical thinkers; or in co-curricular activities, where every student has an opportunity to explore, identify and grow their potential. St Peter’s College has grown. There are more than 600 learners with more than 100 staff members comprising 60 academic staff who are becoming specialists in their field. The college offers 32 co-curricular activities. Last year, it achieved a 100% matric pass rate with well over 200 subject distinctions and more than 250 B symbols, and a 97% Bachelor’s degree pass (university entrance). Several pupils go on to represent the Gauteng province, the district and the country across various co-curricular programmes internationally. St Peter’s College alumni have expanded to more than 2 000; most of whom are studying, working and establishing themselves as powerful forces in the vital sectors of economy in South Africa and internationally.
