The End Of An Era
As they stand at the threshold of adulthood, our Catholic values and holistic approach to education provide our Year 13's with the guidance and support they need to thrive.
In the academic realm, Year 13 students continue to build upon their knowledge and skills, striving for excellence in their chosen subjects. With a focus on achieving their Level 3 National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) qualification and University Entrance, they embrace challenges and demonstrate mastery in their studies. Our dedicated teachers and extensive resources empower them to excel academically, ensuring they are well-prepared for the next stage of their educational journey.
Beyond the classroom, Year 13 students are encouraged to embrace leadership roles within our vibrant school community. They become mentors and role models, supporting and inspiring their fellow students on their own academic and social paths. Through their acts of service and guidance, they foster an inclusive and supportive environment, nurturing a sense of belonging for all.
Recognising the importance of practical skills and real-world experience, our Year 13 students may also choose to participate in work experience or internship programs. These opportunities allow them to explore their career interests, apply their knowledge in practical settings, and develop invaluable skills that will serve them well in the workforce.
Ready For More
Spiritually, Year 13 is an opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of their faith and prepare to live out their Catholic values in the world. Socially, Year 13 is a time for students to reflect on their time in high school and prepare to move on to the next stage of their lives.
As Year 13 progresses, we encourage our students to reflect upon their journey, celebrating their achievements and considering the paths they will embark upon after graduation. Through meaningful reflection and the guidance of our caring staff, they gain a deeper understanding of their own strengths, values, and aspirations. This reflective approach helps them make informed decisions about their future, whether they choose to pursue higher education, enter the workforce, or contribute to their communities in other meaningful ways.
At St Peter's College, Year 13 is a remarkable year of growth, self-discovery, and preparation for the exciting adventures that lie ahead. We are committed to nurturing the academic, spiritual, and social development of our students, ensuring they leave our school equipped with the skills, values, and confidence needed to make a positive impact on the world.
