About us

The Petrean Society is the official alumni organisation for former pupils and staff of the Peterhouse Group of Schools. If you attended Peterhouse, we warmly welcome you to the Petrean Society.

In partnership with the School, the Society is dedicated to maintaining meaningful connections with all members. We do this through a programme of Petrean events, reunions, and ongoing communication, while also fostering opportunities for professional networking and mentoring within our community.

The Petrean Society hosts social and sporting events both locally and internationally, supported by our branches in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia, Europe, the United Arab Emirates, North America, and Zimbabwe.

If you are a former pupil or staff member of the Peterhouse Group of Schools and would like to join the Petrean Society or update your details, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at: development@peterhouse.co.zw
