The College places a strong emphasis on service to the community, 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.
