St Peter's Catholic College is an independent Roman Catholic co-educational secondary day school, located in the Central Coast suburb of Tuggerah, one hour north of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Broken Bay, the college currently has 1,050 students.[3]
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, 22600NaN0, 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]
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]
