St Peters Indooroopilly’s 2021 College Captains recently participated in a Courier Mail feature on Queensland’s school leaders. The Captains were asked about their vision for the year—what they planned to do with their leadership over the course of 2021. Read on to find out what they said!

It’s no secret that the onset of COVID-19 disrupted what everyone once knew as ‘normal’, especially in the school setting. 2020 saw an absence of College events and, for a time, students on campus, but, surprisingly, it wasn’t all bad. Creative thinking thrived and, of that, many new programs and initiatives were born. One such program was the St Peters ‘Find Your Future’ program.

Boarding school is more than just a place of education—it is a home-away-from-home and a place where students come to thrive. Making decisions about boarding schools can be tough, but it doesn’t have to be…just ask proud St Peters Lutheran College boarder, Ben Roberton.

Congratulations to the St Peters Indoorroopilly Class of 2020 - the first cohort in Queensland to graduate through the Senior Assessment Tertiary Entrance System (SATE). While facing all the challenges thrown at them by COVID-19, the Seniors of 2020 proved their resilience, achieving the best academic results the College has seen in the last decade.

St Peters Indooroopilly's 2021 Prefects got busy getting muddy at Ironbark recently, completely immersing themselves in their Leadership Camp experience. Since returning to Brisbane, they’ve hit the ground running, leading by example and proving that the College’s future is in good hands.

Instead of being a time for wrapping up and finalising assessment, the end of Term 4 marked a chance for St Peters Indooroopilly’s Year 10 Business and Technology students to learn about digital technologies, entrepreneurial opportunities and innovation from a panel of industry experts.

In the lead-up to the centenary of Rotary Australia, the Rotary Club of Kenmore donated a Peace Pole to our Upper Primary students. The pole, one of just 100 donated in Australia, was officially welcomed by our Year 6 students on Tuesday 5 November, 2020—in the College’s 75th year.

The annual St Peters Multicultural Week is one of the College’s key calendar events. Celebrated, typically, as a whole-of-College event, the pinnacle of the week is the Parade of Nations ceremony. This year, we united online to celebrate what makes our community unique: our cultural diversity.

The ‘New Normal’ is a phrase that’s being thrown around a lot lately, but what does it look like at St Peters Lutheran College? The obvious changes are in the day-to-day College activities (socially distanced assemblies and split lunch hours to reduce the students at serveries and in common areas), but they also extend to livestreamed events, spectator limits at co and extra-curricular activities and the extension of annual College Sports Carnivals.
