Our Term 4 cocurricular program is now live, and activities have begun! You can view the schedule and still book some activities via Firefly, where each activity is linked with further details, contact information, and booking instructions.
At St Peters, we’re proud to offer a wide range of activities that support student wellbeing, personal growth, and social connection. While we encourage participation, we also value balance. Unstructured play and downtime are equally important, as they help children recharge, build resilience, and develop independence.
We encourage families to take a balanced approach when selecting activities, ensuring students have the time and energy to engage meaningfully.

Our swimming season has well and truly kicked off with many primary students attending regular training and competitions.
The coaches have been pleased to welcome a number of new and familiar faces to our Friday morning junior swimming sessions in Term 4, in addition to SPW swim squads, which have been running throughout the year.
This past weekend, many of our Primary students represented SPW at the Brisbane Metropolitan Relay Championships. Our team returned with many top-10 finishes and many results to be proud of.
SPW Club Night races are held every Friday evening during Term 4, and the coaching team welcomes anyone interested in attending. These evenings are a fantastic introduction to competitive swimming in a low-pressure and fun environment.
Congratulations to Eva S (Year 6) on her outstanding achievements at Nationals! Her dedication and hard work in the pool truly paid off, earning her a Gold medal in the 100m Backstroke and Bronze medals in the 50m Backstroke and Medley Relay. Eva also delivered an impressive 28.88-second split in the 50m Freestyle, helping her relay team to a strong 4th place finish. An incredible effort and a well-deserved reward for her commitment and determination!

Our Year 7/8 Boys were the first St Peters team to compete at CBSQ Major Tournament, and what a debut it was! After qualifying via both the Wildcard and Shield tournaments, the boys earned their spot in Division 5 and went on to achieve an outstanding 3rd-place finish.
Throughout the week, they played with grit and composure, despite an early setback; their teamwork improved with every game, and they embraced the challenge of representing the College at a state level. Well done, boys!
Water Polo
On Sunday 26 October, three St Peters teams competed at the AIC Invitational Water Polo Gala at Marist College. It was a fantastic day of Water Polo, with the boys achieving outstanding results. The Year 7 team claimed victory, the Year 8/9 team finished third, and the Open Boys narrowly missed first place, finishing second.
Throughout the day, the teams demonstrated resilience, teamwork, and a true Plus Ultra attitude, proudly representing St Peters in both performance and sportsmanship. It was an excellent day for our teams and a great reflection of the boys’ hard work.
