Library inspiration
At St Andrew’s Cathedral School, we’re blessed to never be far from inspiration. Case in point – our Head of Library (7-12) and IB EE Coordinator, Kathryn Eyre AALIA, MAICD – who inspired us with her recent presentation at the Australian School Libraries Association’s Conference on the Gold Coast.
Mentoring new teaching staff
A new coaching and mentoring programme has been developed at St Andrew’s Cathedral School, designed to maximise the experience of our new teaching staff. The flexible program acknowledges and celebrates that regardless of experience, all our teachers possess teaching expertise and creativity, and that with the right support and empowerment, they can achieve extraordinary outcomes.

Introducing: Big Questions
Last night, we were delighted to launch our very first Big Questions seminar exploring Environmental Stewardship from both Aboriginal and scientific perspectives.

We also celebrate the enormous contribution girls, from Kindergarten through to Year 12, have made and continue to make to our school…
