Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions you'll make for your child.

As a Catholic co-educational Secondary College, ensuring the well-being of our students is of the utmost importance to us. We know that no two students are the same and that they all have their own personalities and individual needs. 

St Peter Claver College provides a high quality, holistic education with excellent academic, spiritual and vocational education programs and robust co-curricular offerings. We are a welcoming and inclusive community founded on the values highlighted in our College motto – Concern, Love and Justice. We believe acceptance of everyone, and their individual differences is fundamental to developing good relationships and an inclusive community. Combined, these things help our students grow into confident young people who care for others and make a positive contribution to their community.

Enrolment Applications must be submitted by the end of Term 4 while your child is enrolled in Year 4.

Families of current students who have younger siblings at the College are reminded they are also required to enrol during this timeframe to avoid disappointment.

We welcome enquiries at any time and encourage families to connect with us early to learn more about our College community and Enrolment Process.

Offers of Enrolment are made at the end of the Enrolment Process, or following a successful interview, while your child is enrolled in Year 5.

Where applications exceed available places, families will be added to our Waitlist.

While St Peter Claver College is a Catholic secondary school, we are open to all families seeking a faith-based education in a welcoming and inclusive community. We celebrate the diversity of the families we serve and invite everyone to participate in and support the Catholic traditions, beliefs and values that guide our College and enrich the educational experience of our students. Children who are baptised Catholic are given priority of enrolment at Brisbane Catholic Education schools.

If your child is placed on our waitlist, you will be kept informed throughout the Enrolment Process. If an availability arises, families will be contacted and offered a place where possible.

Absolutely – the best way to know whether our College is the right fit for your family is to experience it for yourself.

We encourage you to attend our annual Open Day in May to meet our staff, explore our campus and get a feel for the Claver community. It's a wonderful opportunity to ask questions and see firsthand what makes our College special.

You can also take our Virtual Tour to see what our campus has to offer.

We look forward to welcoming you and helping you discover whether our College is the right fit for your family.

We welcome students and families who share in the values and ethos of a Catholic education. Each application we receive is assessed on its merit however where limited availability exists, priority may be given to:

1. Baptised Catholic students who attend a Catholic primary school and/or whose families are involved in a parish community.
2. Baptised Catholic students from other schools.
3. Siblings of students enrolled at St Peter Claver College.
4. Non-Catholics and non-siblings in local Catholic feeder schools who have been enrolled for longer than two years.
5. Children of past students.
6. Students whose families are from another faith tradition or wider community and who share in the expressed values of the College.
