This is an important and deliberately chosen aspect of the College's philosophy. The College’s picturesque natural environment creates an ideal location to nurture the principles and values that guide the College: Reflection, Inclusion, Service and Excellence. The school community and especially its children have come to see this beautiful environment as something they hold in trust for future generations of families and students who come to attend the College. The College is continually implementing environmentally sustainable practices in all year levels, with the majority of the College’s power needs being produced by on site solar panels. The College is self-sufficient in water and waste treatment and is consistently working to reduce our ecological footprint. The College is a member of the Land for Wildlife program and has been supported in environmental initiatives by Landcare. Peregian Beach College commenced in 2002 as a Primary School. In 2006, the Board of Directors expanded their educational vision, to meet the needs of its families through the offering of a full Kindergarten to Year 12 College Program. In 2020, the Board of Directors, with the full support of the College Leadership and Teaching Team established the Sunshine Coast Sporting Academy. The Sunshine Coast Sporting Academy provides professional coaching and instruction in Football (Soccer), Dance, Basketball and Netball. All programs have elite programs as well as developmental programs. In addition there is a Tennis developmental program. All Sunshine Coast Sporting Academy students have access to Sports Science professor Bruno Pena Couto.

The school aimed to provide an educational environment which gave students a strong sense of personal worth and belonging and which attempted to reflect and promote the positive values of its families. This philosophy not only remains in 2024, but has been revisited, revitalised, and embraced by leadership. The individual educational needs and wellbeing of our students remains our priority, and it is a point of difference that motivates our teaching team. The establishment of the Sunshine Coast Sporting Academy has provided additional opportunities for sport enhancement; however, the College is an academic institute first and foremost, with academic advancement remaining our paramount objective. In 2017, the Peregian Beach College Middle School commenced in response to a trend, both in Australia and internationally, towards addressing the distinct and unique needs of adolescents as a group in transition to adulthood. Our Middle School consists of Years 5, 6, 7 and 8 working as part of the secondary school. The emphasis in the Middle School is on a holistic, student-centred style of learning which encompasses the physical, intellectual and emotional wellbeing of our students. The Middle School curriculum at Peregian Beach College sets out the core knowledge, understanding, skills and general capabilities as outlined in the Australian Curriculum documents.
