Background:

St Peter's School building was laid in 1879. However at St Peter's one thing has remained constant the vision and work of the local Catholic community engaging its children in the process of experiencing, learning about and reflecting on Jesus good news that we are loved by God and that love is central to human existence. Literacy, numeracy and technology are of course important but essentially children need to learn what life is for and how to live it and here the gospel offers both a vision and a challenge. Cardinal Hume asserted that education is only of value if it serves to make children more fully human, echoing St Irenaeus saying that the glory of God is the human person fully alive St Peter's is committed to prepare its children for their technological futures.
