Welcome

As students enter Peninsula’s Senior School they begin the last phase of their secondary schooling. It is a time when students need to prepare for life after school, whether that is full time employment, tertiary education or an apprenticeship. The majority of our students undertake tertiary education when they leave Peninsula. Preparing for this pathway, therefore, is a major focus during the final years.

Students in the Senior School are encouraged to make the most of their individual strengths and abilities. Students are presented with an environment where they are able to achieve their highest potential in academic, sporting and artistic endeavours. Within this supportive, structured environment we aim to produce independent learners who are well prepared to cope with future challenges and the world beyond school.
