About our school

St Peter Claver College is a Catholic Co-educational Secondary College offering high quality and affordable education for students in Years 7–12.

Students receive a well-rounded education which strengthens resilience, expects excellence, fosters self-confidence and social awareness, and develops an understanding of and respect for spirituality and faith in a safe and inclusive environment.

Our dynamic and inclusive curriculum includes a broad suite of academic programs, ATAR subjects, Certificate courses, School-based Apprenticeships and Work Experience options, and is executed by a highly motivated and professional teaching staff. It appeals to all learner types and makes quality education accessible to all families. Students can also participate in accelerated learning in English, Mathematics, Science and Humanities.

Our proven success in our excellent academic, spiritual and vocational programs and robust co-curricular offerings means our graduates are confident and balanced young adults with skills fit for the 21st Century.

The College places a strong emphasis on service to the community, and teaching our students gospel values, such as kindness, honesty and compassion. It is our sense of belonging to a community and a belief that diversity is our strength and empathy is our compass that ultimately sets Claver apart from other schools.

Principal's Message

The Claver community prides itself on its modern approach to excellence in co-educational learning and teaching; focused on the inherent value of each student and the explicit development of authentic and respectful relationships focused on knowing our students and walking with them as they strive to reach their personal capabilities.

We are a proud Catholic educational community, blessed to have at our core the spiritual and pedagogical ethos of two saints: St Peter Claver and St Marcellin Champagnat. It is because of this joint ethos that St Peter Claver College places an emphasis on quality learning and teaching which caters to all learners regardless of background, race, gender or socio-economic status.
