Enduring Purpose
Founded in 1885 in the heart of the city, St Andrew’s Cathedral School is a vibrant, intercultural and internationally-minded coeducational learning community that seeks to honour and follow Jesus Christ.
Vision
Educating generations to know their infinite worth and develop their gifts for a purpose, leading with hope as co-creators of a responsible future.
School Motto
The motto was given to the school by William Samarez Smith, Sydney’s first Archbishop in 1890.
“Via Crucis – Via Lucis”
Latin
“The way of the cross is the way of light.”
English
Our school motto points towards the centrality of the cross of Christ in all that we do. Christ’s sacrificial example points us towards how to live. Indeed, it provides a light for us as we chart a path in life. It also holds meaning for every challenge that students face – intellectually, physically, spiritually or emotionally in that, without sacrifice (the way of the cross) there is no glory (the way of light).
