I went to St Peter's as a boarding student from year 10 - 12 (2004 - 2006) and was a part of the equestrian team. At the time, the equestrian side of things wasn't quite up to scratch, and their programme was pretty poor; however, all other aspects of the school were great. The boarding house directors and matrons were fantastic. They were nurturing and caring, spent time with all the boarders, and were enthusiastic about their roles. They tackled bullying within the boarding houses pretty quickly.
I was pretty homesick throughout the first year, but ended up settling OK with the support and care of the house directors and matron (I understand the ones I had have long gone, however one of the house directors is still there within a teaching capacity).
Keep in mind that we are now talking about 20 years ago, so my review is possibly obsolete now! But it was an incredible school with a great support network back then.
Mr. Speedy was the Deputy Principal at the time and he was one of the most memorable there!
Serial harassing is a big NO.
Two independent investigator reports St Peters would not openly address allegations nor findings to Yevette Williams, even though they alleged allegations against her she was not privy to, that went on till May 2022 from 2021.
Left without a listed Principal 2021 till January 2023. It's a minefield.
Statisically teachers in 20s to 30s left as soon as they could, to find better school working conditions. Demoralizing abuse is historially proven, in a historical less than well managed structure. Not going to change overnight.
FAKE five star comment....as if a lusty love sick international persons message is a joke, it is NOT a school Review.
Upon that non credible removal, this is a 1 star rating
Terrible school, first of all teachers act all snobby and don’t care if students don’t feel safe (etc), my daughter had a terrible experience of being sexually harassed by one of the teachers, and you could make a mistake in your work and instead of the teachers explaining it you would be yelled at for quote one of the teachers “being a stupid child that is so dumb that even year 1 could be challenging for you”
It is terrible and not worth the money you pay for admission.
Teachers are rude. They will call your child several names for misunderstandings, and keep your child in late, for the dumbest stuff. For example:Idiot, stupid, stupid boys, etc. This is not acceptable in teacher standards. They will degrade your child. They also do not give you much freedom. Save your money.
