Contents

St Peter’s Woodlands is part of the Anglican Parish of Glenelg and, through its roots as the original Parish School, the school community is often involved in wider parish activities.

Overview

St Peter's Woodlands Grammar is built up of the Early Learning Centre, Preschool, Junior Primary, Middle Primary and Upper Primary. Upper Primary has more advanced roles, with leadership roles including School Captains, SSLC’S ( Student-Service-Leadership-council), House Captains and other various leadership roles. These roles play an important part in the structure of the school and without these there wouldn't be much of a school community. The school was formed when St. Peter’s Glenelg and Woodlands Grammar combined in 1999.
