We’re back with another episode of A Road To Mount Isa and today I’m chatting with Head of Boarding at St Peters Lutheran College, Stuart Delaney.

I was hit by the fan girl syndrome again with this chat… and if you can’t imagine why I would be fan girling over a conversation with a boarding school then let me throw a few names your way….. Ariana Titmus, Mollie O’Callaghan, Jack Cartwright, Shayna Jack, Elijah Wittington, and the rockstar of Australian Swimming coaches, Dean Boxall. 

You guessed it, St Peters Lutheran College and St Peters Western Swim Club are one and the same. You must be a student at St Peters to even wet your big toe at St Peters Western Swim Club. 

And it doesn’t stop there for this co-ed boarding school, their cache of champions across a number of sporting disciplines is quite outstanding. Think Tori Lewis, currently the fastest runner in the country. They can’t be beaten on the netball court, with a list as long as your arm of National reps, they’ve got current students already signed to AFL and Rugby union. 

They welcome kids from right across Australia and overseas to board and have done since they opened their doors in 1945. In fact, St Peters began as a boarding school only with no day students. Now, they’re one of the largest schools in Queensland with around 2,300 students across two campuses.

I won’t give our whole chat away here - we probably could have chatted for hours. St Peters history with boarders from rural and remote Australia is long and we’re looking forward to heading back to Mount Isa with them.

Enjoy this episode with Stuart Delaney.
