From the St Peter's Catholic Comprehensive School
The lengthy history of De La Salle education at St. Peter's since 1947 and the Jesuits before them constitute the foundation of the institution. The wings are the passion and determination we have to ensure all our current students receive the very best in Catholic education and fly the nest with confidence and with belief in God, in each other and in themselves. We believe that the whole school community is involved in the process of learning learning to be the best at whatever stage we are on life's journey students, teachers, teaching assistants, chaplains, support staff, administrators, technicians, site staff, governors or leaders. We think that education encompasses more than just obtaining credentials (but we do well at that too). It is about personal fulfilment in life encouraging each other to use our talents, enjoying being excited about learning and experiencing a sense of wonder and awe the type of creative fulfilment which allows the work of God, our Creator, to flourish in us all. Visit the school and browse the website while you have the chance.
