Wellbeing Education is central to learning at St Peter's College. The wellbeing framework is built on wellbeing programs that influence all aspects of school life. The taught wellbeing curriculum draws on the work of Professor Martin Seligman and teaches skills to strengthen relationships, build positive emotions, enhance personal resilience, promote mindfulness and encourage a healthy lifestyle. Wellbeing talks and ongoing monitoring within pastoral care groups support the wellbeing of all students. Registered psychologists and chaplains work across all year levels to support boys and their families. The House system and broader pastoral care programs underpin the wellbeing strategy and foster belonging.

Curriculum Support is available for identified students (for identified students only).

English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) is offered as a language option in Year 7. In Year 8, EAL/D continues to be offered (by invitation). In Year 12, EAL/D is listed among Senior School subjects at Stage 2.
