College history

Site origin

St Peter's Catholic College is within the region of Tuggerah, which according to Aboriginal tradition means savannah, and marshy grassland is evident on the site.

The land, on which the college stands, 915 hectares (2,260 acres), was owned by the Alison family, a wealthy Scottish family, from 1875 - 1897. The site was purchased by the Diocese of Broken Bay in 1982. [4]

Corpus Christi and Mater Dei amalgamation

The College has developed through three major building phases since its foundation in 1983. In the beginning, Mater Dei College was built to operate as a Year 7-10 campus for the Catholic community. This was accompanied in 1987 by the progression of a senior campus known as Corpus Christi College. Mater Dei and Corpus Christi Colleges amalgamated in January 2000 to become St Peter’s Catholic College as a Year 7-12 campus.” [5]
