Established in 1945, St Peters caters for students from Prep to Year 12,[3] including boarders from Years 6 to 12. In January 2008, St Peters Lutheran College Springfield opened with almost 100 students from Prep to Year 8 in multi-age classes. St Peters Springfield has since grown to a Kindergarten to Year 12 school and moved to a new state of the art location in Health City. In 2017, the school had an enrolment of 1986 students with a teaching staff of 183 teachers with 182 non-teaching staff.[4] The school's chapel is heritage-listed, having been added to the Queensland Heritage Register in 2012.[5] SymbolismThere are certain symbolic icons present in the college emblem, including Martin Luther's iconic white rose from his seal, and an inverted cross for St Peter, leader of the Apostles in the early Christian Church, who was crucified upside-down. The School's motto, Plus Ultra, which is Latin for "Ever Higher", is said to emphasise the College's desire for the students to reach their goals in their learning. CampusFrom the 1897 Villa "Ross Roy", bought and used as the first building of St Peters in 1945, the College campus has seen significant growth and change over the years. Theile house, a four-storey building comprising computer labs, classrooms, Year 11/12 lockers, and the Theile study centre, was recently renovated and extended. The facilities in the new building include a study centre for students in years 11 and 12, with three private study/meeting rooms and numerous computers and laptops available to students. The girls' boarding houses have also been renovated, now featuring air conditioning, and a multi-purpose court. There are three libraries on campus. The Senior School library is a three-storey facility where students and staff can access a collection of fiction and non-fiction. There are approximately 80 computers and students have access to a number of databases to which the school subscribes. In 2013, a Performing Arts Centre was also opened. This is a three-storey facility including an auditorium, theatrette, orchestra and band rooms, music and drama classrooms, and rooms for instrumental tuition and practice. IronbarkIronbark is the outdoor campus of St Peters Lutheran College. Located near the town of Crows Nest, some {{convert|50|km|mi}} north of Toowoomba and {{convert|150|km|mi}} north-west of Brisbane, the property consists of {{convert|600|ha|acre|0}} of heavily timbered, undulating granite country. The donation of land in 1971, provided the College with an opportunity to develop and implement an outdoor education program. After several years of discussion and planning, a pilot program was run in 1974. Following the success of the pilot program, Ironbark has been part of the College curriculum since 1976. Ironbark was named for the Eucalyptus Crebra, the narrow leaf Ironbark, which grows across the property. Students from the College spend five weeks at Ironbark in Year 9. During their stay, students experience community living, help to run the farm and maintain the property, and undertake a range of outdoor adventure activities. The students have no formal academic lessons during their stay. Facilities on site include two dormitories, staff accommodation, a well-equipped workshop, a garden, and a mixed farm. Much of the food consumed by the students is produced on the property. Whilst attending Ironbark, students must complete a 4-day hike covering a total geographic distance of 51.4km, partake in a 48-hour team survival program and a 24-hour solo event. In prior years, it was year 10 students who spent 8 weeks at Ironbark, with some classes attending Mt Binga camp instead. Heads of CollegeThe heads of college have been:[6]

St Peters students have the chance to also participate in the St Peters Robotics program which includes programs such as the FIRST Tech Challenge, FIRST Robotics Challenge, Robocup and many more. Four St Peters students, partnered with Grace Lutheran College, represented Australia at the First Global Challenge in June 2017. They came 49th overall (out of 160 countries participating) and won a silver award for International Unity. CurriculumThe St Peters curriculum is designed to provide a continuum of experience and knowledge acquisition from Prep to Year 12. To this end, St Peters offers programs within four separate sub-schools: Lower Primary (P–4), Upper Primary (5–6), Junior High (7–9) and Senior School (10–12). Each sub-school operates semi-autonomously with its own Head of Sub-School and administration. The Senior School offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program.[9] Since 2004, the school has run an exchange program in conjunction with sister school, Immanuel college, in Adelaide, South Australia. The focus of the exchange program, or "Mind Change" as it is known, is to allow gifted students from both schools a chance to meet students their age who they can relate their interests to. PublicationsThe school has a number of publications that are made available to the school community, including:[10]
