We embrace learning, pursue excellence and care for self and others.
EMBRACE LEARNING AND PURSUE EXCELLENCE
Recognising Learner Growth and Excellence
We enhance our learners’ positive wellbeing and self-belief by motivating them to reach their full potential through an extensive range of opportunities. We continuously recognise and celebrate learner growth and excellence through College Assemblies, Evenings, College media and news.
Achievement of excellence and success is personal and in our inclusive learning environment we understand there are many measures of success as students move through their education and into their careers and pathways.
HIGH ACHIEVERS
Our 2024 HSC High Achievers included students from our 2024 cohort who met one, or a range, of the following criteria: Top 10 ATAR’s for St Peter’s, HSC Distinguished Achievers (Achieved a Band 6 in Subject), First in Diocese for a subject, Nominated for a Practical Course, and of course our College DUX (Highest ATAR plus 3 Band 6 results).
Our coveted College DUX for 2024 was awarded to our former Captain, Zane M, who received an incredible ATAR of 96.9.
Zane’s ATAR score was closely followed by Trenton C, achieving an ATAR of 96.65, and Krish S, achieving an ATAR of 96.3. All three students received offers into the same degree and university, studying a Bachelor of Actuarial Studies.
All of our 2024 High Achievers have received either university offers, college offers, and project management opportunities, with many students receiving offers for a multitude of university degrees.
A huge congratulations to this incredible line-up of alumni, who have paved an exciting path for a very successful future.

As our alumni shared their triumphs, challenges, and lessons learned, they forged powerful connections with the students, bridging the past with the present and illuminating the possibilities of the future.
