current priorities

investing in
excellence

At St. Peter’s, we endeavor to continually evolve our priorities as an educational institution to meet the ever-changing needs of students. Below are our current key focus areas.

Donate an
Auditorium Seat

At St. Peter's, we are proud to have one of the largest school auditoriums in the country. Since it opened in 1985, the Auditorium—or the "Audi" as it’s fondly known—has been a hub of creativity and celebration. Thousands of students have graced its stage, participating in countless musicals, performances, competitions, and award ceremonies. However, after decades of use, the temporary seating originally installed no longer meets the needs of this much-loved and frequently used space.

To enhance the experience for both audiences and performers, we are launching the Donate a Seat campaign. This campaign offers a unique opportunity to leave a lasting legacy by sponsoring a seat in the Auditorium. Each sponsored seat will feature a personalised plaque, engraved with your name and a short message. 


With your support, we can ensure this incredible space continues to inspire and serve generations of students and the wider community for many years to come. Join us in shaping the future of the Audi—your generosity will make all the difference.
