Why attend a school open day?

March is often the month when many secondary schools roll out the welcome mat for prospective students and their parents. Open days are essentially just as the name suggests – days when schools open their doors, when the school Principal is available for questions, when teachers get to showcase their classrooms and where learning spaces come alive.

There’s no doubt that these days are incredibly valuable opportunities to enter into the school environment giving you and your child/ren important insights as to what your school of choice looks and feels like. Open Days also provide information beyond what is available in school documentation and on websites. They are opportunities for parents and child/ren to ask specifics about educational opportunities, extracurricular programs, student wellbeing support and community engagement.

‘Developing the skills today to thrive in tomorrow’s world’

The 21st Century learner will need a skill-set of: critical thinking, effective communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively & creativity. St. Peter’s College strives to provide opportunities for our students to engage and excel in all of these areas.

IT’S A BIG DECISION

When selecting a secondary school for your child/ren, you need to feel confident in not only what that school can deliver in Year 7, but how the school can provide a stimulating learning environment across the six years. It’s a big decision.

Our desire is for students to run excitedly through St. Peter’s College gates to commence their secondary schooling as a Year 7 student, and walk out at the end of Year 12, with confidence, a sense of purpose, and a feeling of positivity about their future lives.

We are a proudly Catholic community with a focus on Christ at the centre of our learning with a strong focus on the development of the whole person, academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.

St. Peter’s College opens up for two evenings in March for parents and their child/ren to experience our classrooms in action and meet and talk to our students and staff, even joining in some classroom activities.

Please join us at our Discovery Evenings on Tuesday 26 March at our Cranbourne Campus for a 6.00pm start and Wednesday 27 March at our Clyde North Campus also for a 6.00pm start.

We are looking forward to meeting you. Book online at www.stpeters.vic.edu.au/enrolments

Act now for Year 7 2026, 2027 and 2028 enrolments. Limited vacancies also exist for Year 7 2025.
