Our boarding community has been an important part of our community since St. Peter's opened its gates in 1936. Offering students a sense of belonging, our boarding houses provide an environment for bonds and friendships to form that last a lifetime. For those students who can not go home during the holidays, our boarding team organise homestays for our students to experience the New Zealand lifestyle.

St. Peter’s has provided me with countless opportunities to explore new activities and step out of my comfort zone. I have taken up sports like football, tennis, golf, badminton, table tennis and even started learning guitar, which has now become a hobby I enjoy. Additionally, I have developed leadership skills, spoken in various assemblies and currently serve as an international and open day ambassador. I am currently studying NCEA Level 3,and with the support of my teachers, I was able to achieve my goal of earning an Excellence Endorsement in Level 2 last year.
