St Peters Lutheran College is an independent, co-educational, Lutheran, day and boarding school, situated on a 21 hectares (52 acres) campus in Indooroopilly, an inner suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Established in 1945, St Peters currently caters for approximately 2,000 students from Prep to Year 12, including 150 boarders from Years 6 to 12. In January 2008, a Springfield campus opened with up almost 100 students from Prep to Year 8 in multi-age classes. There are certain symbolic icons present in the college emblem, including Martin Luther's iconic white rose from his seal, and an inverted cross for St Peter, leader of the Apostles in the early Christian Church, who was crucified upside-down. The School's motto, Plus Ultra, which is Latin for "Ever Higher", is said to emphasise the College's desire for the students to reach their goals in their learning. From the farmhouse "Ross Roy", bought and used as the first building of St Peters in 1945, the College campus has seen significant growth and change over the years.
