St Peters Lutheran College

St Peters Lutheran College was established at Indooroopilly by the Lutheran Church in 1945 with 56 boarding students. Ross Roy was the main building and focus for early College life with Luther House built by voluntary labour soon after the College's commencement. St Peters has had five Heads in its history and is the largest Lutheran school in Australia, today, with an enrolment maintained at approximately 2000 day and boarding students and 350 teaching and non-teaching staff. Our boarding enrolments are maintained at 150 students. St Peters Lutheran College - Ironbark Outdoor Education Centre, via Crows Nest, was established in 1974 as a trial program and in 1976 as an ongoing Outdoor Education Program. This life changing experience is a five week program for Year 9 students and indicates St Peters positive and strong commitment to 'growing' our Junior High students in significant ways. The 'Ironbark Experience' is seen by staff, parents and students as a vital part of the St Peters journey, fostering independence, resilience, team work, problem solving, ethical decision making, sustainability and environmental awareness in our young people. Commencing in 2008, St Peters Lutheran College Springfield began as a Prep to Year 8 school. It now caters for Prep to Year 12 and provides the Springfield and adjacent communities with the many benefits of the St Peters journey. All St Peters schools operate under the control of the St Peters Lutheran College Council and Head of College, governed by the Lutheran Church of Australia Queensland District.
