St Peter's College is a secondary school located in Johannesburg, South Africa.
St Peter's College is an IEB co-educational high school in Johannesburg.
The College hosts two major sporting events each year, namely the St Peter's College Sports and Cultural Festival in September and the Old Petrians Water Polo and Cricket Festival in February. The Sports and Cultural Festival attracts over 1500 participants in the various sporting and cultural codes.
St Peter's is recognised for its successes in the cultural field. "Shobedisa" - an original St Peter's drama production - won 'Best Play' at the RAPS Festival at the University of the Witwatersrand in 2005. The 2009 production, "Boys 2 Men", reached the semi-finals. The college has also developed a formidable reputation in Water Polo, particularly after its boys' team won the National Co-educational Championships in 2009.
St Peter's is involved in several community outreach programmes including Habitat for Humanity.

St Peter's College was founded in 1998 as a response to the shortage of independent high schools in the area.
The college was opened under a former headmaster of St Alban's College, Ronnie Todd, who was later succeeded by Graham Howarth, the current headmaster. The college is based on the proven approach and traditions of St Peter's Preparatory School which celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2010.
St Peter's College celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2008.
St Peter's has performed well in the IEB Matric Examinations throughout its existence, with a significant number of matriculants obtaining 'A' and 'B' symbols in their final examinations.
The Number 1 consists of the St Peter's navy blue blazer, the college striped shirt worn with the college blue tie in addition to the number two uniform. Number 1's are worn on the first and last day of every term, throughout the winter, as well on special occasions (ie. Eucharists, awards ceremonies)
The Number 2 consists of the St Peter's College striped shirt, either worn with or without the navy blue sleeveless jersey, and long grey pants for boys or girls, or grey skirt and the choice of blue stockings for girls. Only black school shoes and grey socks are permitted for boys, and white socks for girls. The Number 2 is the 'everyday' uniform and is worn during summer (terms one and three).
