St Peters Lutheran College

In 2017, St Peters had an enrolment of 1986 students with a teaching staff of 183 teachers with 182 non teaching staff.

There are certain symbolic icons present in the college emblem, including Martin Luther's iconic white rose from his seal, and an inverted cross for St Peter, leader of the Apostles in the early Christian Church, who was crucified upside down. The school's motto, Plus Ultra, which is Latin for "Ever Higher", is said to emphasise the college's desire for the students to reach their goals in their learning. The school also has its own anthem with lyrics which is performed at some ceremonies such as the yearly Founders' Day celebration, alongside the Australian national anthem.

Starting with the 1897 Villa "Ross Roy", bought and used as the first building of St Peters in 1945, the college campus has seen significant growth and change over the years. Theile House, a four storey building comprising computer labs, classrooms, Year 11/12 lockers, and the Theile study centre, was recently renovated and extended. The facilities in the new building include a study centre for students in Years 11 and 12, with three private study/meeting rooms and numerous computers and laptops available to students. The girls' boarding houses have also been renovated, now featuring air conditioning, and a multi purpose court. There are three libraries on campus. The Senior School library is a three storey facility where students and staff can access a collection of fiction and non fiction. There are approximately 80 computers and students have access to a number of databases to which the school subscribes. In 2013, a Performing Arts Centre was also opened. This is a three storey facility including an auditorium, theatrette, orchestra and band rooms, music and drama classrooms, and rooms for instrumental tuition and practice.

Ironbark is the outdoor campus of St Peters Lutheran College. Located near the town of Crows Nest, some north of Toowoomba and north west of Brisbane, the property consists of of heavily timbered, undulating granite country. The donation of land in 1971, provided the College with an opportunity to develop and implement an outdoor education program. After several years of discussion and planning, a pilot program was run in 1974. Following the success of the pilot program, Ironbark has been part of the College curriculum since 1976. Ironbark was named for the Eucalyptus Crebra, the narrow leaf Ironbark, which grows across the property.

The St Peters curriculum is designed to provide a continuum of experience and knowledge acquisition from Prep to Year 12. To this end, St Peters offers programs within four separate sub schools: Lower Primary (P–4), Upper Primary (5–6), Junior High (7–9) and Senior School (10–12). Each sub school operates semi autonomously with its own Head of Sub School and administration. The Senior School offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. Since 2004, the school has run an exchange program in conjunction with sister school, Immanuel college, in Adelaide, South Australia. The focus of the exchange program, or "Mind Change" as it is known, is to allow gifted students from both schools a chance to meet students their age who they can relate their interests to.

St Peters Lutheran College boys are members of the Associated Independent Colleges (AIC). While the girls are involved in the QGSSSA competitions.

The St Peters Lutheran College Chapel was built in 1968 to a design of the Austrian born architect Karl Langer. Langer's work was in a distinctive sub tropical modernist style and was his last built project. The building has a large well lit nave with a choir loft, vestry, and meditation chapel and features a large bell tower. It is constructed of load bearing face brick with a roof of flat metal sheeting. Notable St Peters Old Scholars include North Queensland indigenous leader, Noel Pearson, Olympic athletes Dane Bird Smith, Maxine Seear, Georgia Bohl, Chris Noffke, Shane Gould, Ariarne Titmus and Pita Taufatofua, and musicians and actors Sigrid Thornton, Hamish Prasad, Guy Edmonds, Craig Horner, and Sam Atwell.
