This week, we were pleased to welcome parents to a Parent Hope Project seminar with renowned family therapist and educator, Dr Jenny Brown.
Drawing on decades of experience in child and family mental health, Dr Brown shared a fresh perspective on parenting, encouraging parents to focus on what they can influence – their own responses, relationships and leadership within the family. The seminar explored practical ways to foster resilience, self-regulation and responsible independence in children, while helping parents build confidence in their parenting.
Thank you to Dr Brown for sharing her expertise, and to all the parents who joined us for an engaging and thought-provoking afternoon. ... See MoreSee Less
The move to Secondary School is an exciting milestone, and having the right support can make all the difference.
At our upcoming Step Into Year 7 event, you'll have the opportunity to meet our staff, hear from current students, explore our city campus and experience the welcoming community that makes St Andrew's Cathedral School feel like home.
Wednesday 20 August, 9am-11am
With the event just around the corner, now is the perfect time to secure your place.
Parents and students are encouraged to attend together.
On Friday evening, past and present School Captains came together for our annual Captains Dinner, sharing an evening of connection, conversation and encouragement.
For our current captains, it was a unique opportunity to hear from alumni whose leadership journeys have taken them into fields including medicine, agribusiness, oncology, nanotechnology research, AI engineering, journalism, the armed services, aviation, politics and education. Their careers have spanned not only Australia, but also the United States and Europe, demonstrating the many paths that can begin at St Andrew's Cathedral School.
As stories and advice were shared (along with a healthy debate over the school's best-ever morning tea!), the evening served as a reminder that leadership extends far beyond graduation. Thank you to all our past captains for investing in the next generation of St Andrew's leaders. ... See MoreSee Less

Congratulations to our talented students and to Ms Penny Austin for her dedication in preparing the team. We wish them all the best for the next round in August! 👏 ... See MoreSee Less

This morning, we gathered for our Community Prayer Breakfast – a special opportunity for students, staff, parents and members of our broader School community to come together in prayer, reflection and connection.
Our CRU Captain, Asher Crosweller, opened the event with an Acknowledgment of Country. While everyone enjoyed their breakfast, Year 10 student, Hamish Anderson, sang Handel’s Where’er You Walk.
Guests then heard from the Head of School, Dr Julie McGonigle and Senior College Chaplain, Ms Julie McIntosh.
Chloe Waterhouse led prayers for students, Mr Justin Lathlean led prayers for School leadership and Mrs Pauline Su led prayers for staff and parents.
The Christian tradition has always understood prayer as an act of trust – not a means of bending God to our plans, but a means of aligning our hearts with His purposes. When we pray, we bring our anxieties, hopes, leadership responsibilities and uncertainties before God – and discover that peace grows where dependence is practised.
As we gather, we do so with expectancy – not because prayer makes life easy, but because it makes faith real.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this meaningful morning of fellowship and prayer.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God,” Philippians 4:6
Today, our Kindergarten students celebrated 100 days of school with a day packed full of fun. Dressed as 100-year-olds, they embraced the milestone with plenty of laughs, enjoyed donuts, received awards and reflected on just how much they've learned since their very first day.
It's amazing to see how far they've come in just 100 days. Here's to many more exciting learning adventures ahead! ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
