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.
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.
From 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.
