"Fantastic school, loving every minute!"

I cannot thank St Peter's enough for the amazing care and education my child has received so far. The harbour views from the play area are breathtaking, and the weekly coffee mornings are a great way to connect with other parents. The value of kindness, compassion, and respect that the school instills in its students is truly admirable.

"Good school, but could be improved"

We moved our child to St Peter's from a smaller school, and while the staff were friendly and welcoming, we did notice a bigger class size and less individual attention. That being said, the school's commitment to its values and the harbour location are definite positives. Our child did make some great friends, and we appreciate the efforts of the school counsellor.
