At
St. Peter Apostle Primary School, we recognise that each person is special and we aim to provide an education in an atmosphere of love, support, trust and understanding.
We endeavour to meet the needs of all children, parents and staff. As part of the community of St. Peter Apostle Mission Parish, we foster an environment where we all may grow in faith.
St. Peter Apostle Primary School was formed in 1973 as part of the Werribee Parish with an enrolment of twenty-six students. St. Peter Apostle Hoppers Crossing was proclaimed a parish in 1977. The school enrolment grew quickly in the early years and peaked at 733 students in 1985. Over the past five years the average enrolment has been 600 students and the present enrolment is 596.
St. Peter's has a diverse, multi-cultural (29 ethnic cultures) school community that is comparatively small in area to other neighbouring Catholic Schools. Our Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage (ICSEA) value of 1046 indicates we are just above the average ICSEA national values.
