School History

St Peter Chanel Catholic Primary School is currently under the administration of the Claretian Fathers, who lead and support a large population of Catholics in the Deer Park area.  The school is culturally diverse, with many cultural groups adding to the spirit that is St Peter Chanel.

The school has continued to grow and today has an enrolment of over 500 children. St. Peter Chanel School continues to be viewed in high regard, providing a strong sense of community and a commitment to the provision of personalised learning, aimed at allowing children to reach their full potential.

There has been an ongoing program of refurbishment and development allowing St. Peter Chanel to provide learning environments which encourage children to seek and explore. The school is equipped with contemporary facilities and resources providing children with the opportunity to work collaboratively and actively engage with other learners beyond the walls of their learning environments.  

Our school motto “Love One Another” is lived out through our mission in reaching out in service to all.
