Welcome to St Peter's Primary School, Bentleigh East.

St Peter’s is a co-educational primary school located in Bentleigh East, south east of Melbourne. Steeped in 160 years of rich history we pride ourselves on providing a quality Catholic education that enables all members of the school community to thrive. The first parish school of St Peter's, Bentleigh East, was established in 1865 in Centre Road, opposite the present site of the Monash Medical Centre, Moorabbin Campus. The tiny timber schoolhouse served the community for 36 years and was replaced in 1903 by a brick building under the guidance of the Presentation Sisters. Today St Peter's provides exceptional contemporary facilities, providing the opportunity for students to engage in a comprehensive curriculum and participate in learning that empowers them to question, critique, take risks and understand our ever changing world.

Under the governance of Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools Ltd. (MACS), St Peter's provides an exceptional educational experience that is shaped by Gospel values and supports students to flourish as learners. Students are provided opportunities to enhance their academic, spiritual, physical, social and emotional development. With extensive curricular and co-curricular programs students at St Peter's are able to discover their unique strengths and hidden talents, providing a supportive environment where all students can experience success.

I trust that our website provides you with a snapshot of our vibrant community and provides an overview of the comprehensive education that is offered at St Peter's, Bentleigh East. I invite you to contact us to learn more about our wonderful school.

Our Vision

Two Or MoreDrew Lane

00:00 / 02:53

We stand for the red white and green

Proud of who we are and where we've been

Following the Light that fills our hearts

Here upon the Rock we'll never part

Where two or more are gathered together

There You stand among us all

Through the highs and lows,

where the wind may blow

We'll rise unto the call

Hand in hand, with voices singing

We are the people of the free

Forever in our journey we'll remember

St Peter's Primary

In all we do, in all we learn

Throughout our lives, a fire burns

The friends we'll make, the paths we'll take

All started here, it's no mistake
