St Peters Lutheran College is an independent, co-educational, Lutheran, day and boarding school, situated on a 21 hectares (52 acres) campus in Indooroopilly, an inner suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Established in 1945, St Peters currently caters for approximately 2,100 students from Prep to Year 12, including 150 boarders from Years 6 to 12. In January 2008, St Peters Lutheran College Springfield opened with almost 100 students from Prep to Year 8 in multi-age classes. St Peters Springfield has since grown to a Kindergarten to Year 12 school and moved to a new state of the art location in Health City.
The school's chapel is heritage-listed, having been added to the Queensland Heritage Register in 2012.
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.
