Our Motto: ARISE, AWAKE, ACHIEVE Proclaims the goal of the Institution

About St. Peter’s School

St. Peter’s School, Mahinagar, Balurghat, established in 2014 with the blessing of Bishop Alphonsus D’Souza, is committed to nurturing excellence in academics, values, and holistic growth. Guided by the motto “Arise, Awake, Achieve,” we strive to transform young learners into confident, compassionate, and responsible individuals.

The name, chosen by the Bishop, honors St. Peter, a disciple of Jesus who, though not formally educated, sought wisdom and the deeper values of life. Our emblem reflects this spirit: the star of divine wisdom descending to enlighten and empower scholars; the book symbolizing scholarship; and the keys, authority of knowledge, all leading to the crowning of humanity in love for God and country.

Inspired by Simon Peter of Cepas, the first Pope born in Bethsaida, whose humility and faith shaped him into a pillar of the Church, our school continues his legacy of resilience, devotion, and leadership.

From Principal’s Desk

The ‘diocese of Raiganj” a catholic missionary trust, having its head quarter in Raiganj, with its Bishop Rt.Rev. Alphonsus D’souza had a very long vision and plan to start an English Medium school in Mahinager, Balurghat in Dakshin Dinjapur district. The land for the school was acquired in 2005 but for various unavoidable reasons the plan was kept aside. Knowing all the financial condition of the people in an around and the diocese, this plan could not be executed for long time.
