It enjoys high levels of academic, sporting and musical achievement.St Peter’s men are developed as leaders, who confidently take their place in society, and contribute greatly to New Zealand’s success.St Peter’s students have become Members of the New Zealand Order of Merit, Bishops, great Medical & Business leaders, world renowned Musicians, and sporting greats including All Blacks.The SPC Foundation will work to ensure the same opportunities exist for future generations of St Peter’s boys, who through their time at St Peters, become leaders.We are grateful for the support of our past present and future St Peter’s communities in developing and growing the SPC Foundation.
