Our Middle School Innovators and Changemakers have returned from an incredible journey exploring the intersection of science, technology, innovation and resilience.
From seeing robotics and advanced technology supporting Fukushima’s recovery, to visiting sites connected to the 2011 disaster, exploring disaster preparedness in Tokyo and hearing a powerful survivor story, students gained a deeper understanding of how people and communities respond to complex challenges.
A standout moment was attending a lecture by 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics winner Professor Donna Strickland at Tohoku University, with two St Andrew's students putting their questions to her during the official Q&A.

At St Andrew’s Cathedral School, we are incredibly thankful for our Head of School, Dr Julie McGonigle, and the extraordinary leadership she brings to our community.
Since becoming the first female Head of School in our 140-year history, Dr McGonigle has led with a remarkable combination of steadfastness, courage, humility and deep humanity.
At the heart of her leadership is a simple message: “You matter.”
It’s a belief that speaks to the kind of education she champions — one that values academic excellence while recognising that education is ultimately about shaping people of character, purpose, courage and compassion.
From navigating uncertainty and embracing innovation, to championing the restoration of First Nations people, social cohesion and the question of what it means to be human in an age of AI, Dr McGonigle’s vision is grounded in a powerful conviction: every young person has infinite worth and the capacity to bring light into the world.
The leadership of a school matters when considering where to send your child. This article is a great way to find out more about her leadership and offers a deep insight into the experiences, values and vision that shape her leadership of both St Andrew’s Cathedral School and Gawura School.
