Introduction
Since 1885, St Andrew's Cathedral School has occupied a unique place in the life of the City of Sydney through its educational quality, Christian ethos and student learning practices.
The School offers a purposeful and creative learning environment for all students based on its central city location, its holistic approach to education through a comprehensive curriculum, its connection with the Cathedral and its underpinning Christian philosophy and mission.
The Junior School staff is an exceptional team of qualified, enthusiastic and committed people intent on maximising opportunity for learning and development for students through the pastoral, academic, physical and cultural curricula.
We appreciate that the Junior School years are very special years in our student’s education and we aim to provide a sensitive and stimulating learning environment which
- assists our students to achieve to their potential
- equips them to confidently engage the future
- enables them to make sense of and make a positive contribution to their world .
The Junior School nestles into the end of the middle level in St Andrew’s House and as you walk through the doors you can feel the warmth and activity that is indicative of the day to day routines, celebrations and events.
The ‘Hub’ known as the open area and the surrounding classrooms is the arena to the positive relationships and interaction and diversity of activity that is foundational to all our programs and motivates the learning.
The Junior School, however, is not limited to this area we enthusiastically make use of the library on the ground floor, the gymnasium next door, the music rooms upstairs the rooftop playground unique to our School, our associated sporting fields and pools, the beautiful Cathedral and the city at out doorstep.
