Foundation - St Peter's Girls' School

The St Peter’s Girls’ Foundation was established in 1990 to help safeguard the School’s future, supporting excellence in our programs, improving our facilities, and ensuring we can continue offering an exceptional education for generations to come.

We stand on the shoulders of those who came before us. Since 1894, the vision and generosity of our founding Sisters, along with countless supporters, have shaped St Peter’s Girls’ School into what it is today, a place dedicated to inspiring women of character and influence, where courage, compassion and creativity are at the heart of everything we do.

Today, that spirit of giving lives on. The Foundation makes possible the projects and opportunities that take our School beyond the everyday, new buildings, state-of-the-art facilities, innovative programs, and scholarships that open doors for talented students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to be part of our community.

Every gift makes a difference. Whether you’re supporting infrastructure, scholarships, or new initiatives, you are investing in the next chapter of a story that began over 130 years ago—and shaping the future for the young women who will walk these beautiful grounds and go on to make their mark on the world.

It’s a simple way to make an ongoing impact.

Great schools never stand still; they continue to grow, evolve and create new opportunities for their students. Our Foundation Building Fund plays a vital role in bringing these possibilities to life, supporting projects that strengthen our facilities, programs and learning environments.

Through the Foundation Building Fund, we invest in capital works and spaces that enrich the educational experience for both current students and those to come. It remains open for support throughout the year, enabling our community to contribute to the School’s ongoing growth and future.
