Sporting and Cultural Team Spirit
| |
| As the saying goes, there is no ‘I’ in the word ‘team’. St Peter’s students enthusiastically embrace the concept of TEAMWORK in all aspects of school life. |

The inter-House competitive events are striking and colourful occasions. Student leaders encourage their teams of red, yellow, blue and green uniforms in such events as swimming, athletics, cross country, debating , speech and the fiercely-fought music competition. Their prize is the highly sought-after House Trophy for the winning House.
Staff are also attached to one of the four competitive Houses and can be seen at big events dressed in House colours and supporting their student leaders; the more daring will even swim and run relays for their Houses, encouraged by students on the sidelines!
Extra-curricular events - such as the School Production and Stage Challenge - sports teams and cultural activities all provide students with the opportunity to work in a team and to engender a powerful team spirit.
Prep Flag Day is, for many, the first taste of the team spirit to be found at St Peter’s. Played once a year, this historic game was begun in the time of Arthur Broadhurst. Preppies work co-operatively within their Houses, racing around the school farm to bring home the prized flag.
Whether competing, cheering on from the sidelines, singing or proudly delivering the School haka before a 1st XV match, team spirit and camaraderie are alive and well at St Peter’s.
