St Andrew’s Cathedral School named Five Star Employer of Choice.
St Andrew’s Cathedral School has once again been named 2025 Employer of Choice by The Educator, affirming the School’s commitment to providing the best possible workplace for its staff.

The Employer of Choice report recognises Australia’s best schools from the perspective of employee experience – evaluating a number of metrics, including benefits, culture, employee development and commitment to diversity and inclusion.
In February, The Educator asked various schools to fill in details about outstanding programmes they currently have in place. The next step was an anonymous employee survey which asked staff to personally evaluate their workplace. The Educator then handpicked 25 schools that have gone above and beyond to support, train, develop and retain their staff.
St Andrew’s Cathedral School places its people at the heart of everything we do.
“We are delighted to be recognised for our commitment to our staff. St Andrew’s Cathedral School places its people at the heart of everything we do. Supporting staff and providing training and development opportunities benefits everyone. Staff retention increases, and that creates a stable and nurturing workforce and community,” said Ms Karin Cook, People and Culture Manager.
Head of School, Dr Julie McGonigle said the recognition was an acknowledgment of the culture at St Andrew’s Cathedral School, reflected in our Christian foundations.
It is an honour to be acknowledged as a workplace that supports and nurtures the strengths of each individual employee.
“It is an honour to be acknowledged as a workplace that supports and nurtures the strengths of each individual employee. Thriving, engaged staff equate to a positive, flourishing learning environment for our students,” said Dr McGonigle.
