St Peter's School, Cambridge
St Peter's School is a private, co-educational, Anglican secondary school for Years 7–13 in Cambridge, New Zealand. The school is located on 100 acres (0.40 km2) of ground, surrounded by school-owned farmland alongside the Waikato River. The schools motto, 'Structa Saxo', is Latin and translates to "Built on a Rock".
The school has facilities for boarding- and day-students, as well as on-campus accommodation for teachers, tutors and workers.
The school was founded in 1936 by Arthur Broadhurst (1890–1986) and James Morris Beaufort (1896–1952). It was designed by American architect Roy Alston Lippincott, who designed the main building to resemble a large English country home. St Peter's became a co-educational school in 1987.
The Robb Sports Centre was constructed in 2005. The building includes two indoor basketball or badminton courts, netball courts, tiered seating for up to 200 people, a weights room, an aerobics studio, two squash courts and an artificial climbing wall.
In 2009 construction of a new English block was completed, along with a new library and computer rooms.
The board of the school approved the International Baccalaureate programme to be taught alongside the current NCEA curriculum at Year 12 and 13, effective 2009. It is the only school in the Waikato to offer the IB Diploma.
A new Junior School area (Year 7–8 students) was completed in June 2014. Also in 2014 Owl Farm was launched, a demonstration farm that is a joint venture between St Peter's School, Cambridge and Lincoln University. Students use the farm regularly for a wide variety of applications including animal feeding, breeding and health, pasture composition, growth rates and dry matter percentage, weed identification, and more.
Also in 2014, the Business and Entrepreneurial Centre (BEC) was opened. It is an initiative that helps students understand the importance of business, and to develop enterprising attributes and skills. For those students who have a keen interest in business, the BEC provides an environment where they can get practical support to get their ideas off the ground.
