More St Andrew's students are making their mark in scientific research!
Congratulations to our Year 6 students Lauren E, Sophia T and Alegra M (Trash to Gas); Eliana W and Antares Q (Analysing Microplastic Velocity Across Freshwater to Saltwater Gradients); and Mairah K and Eleanor H (The Pot That Perspires), who have been selected to receive awards in the 2026 STANSW Young Scientist Competition.
Working independently, the students designed and conducted scientific investigations, analysed their findings and presented their research through formal scientific reports.
A special thank you to mentor teachers Ms Sally Williams and Ms Rebecca Radloff for guiding and supporting the students throughout their investigations.
The award recipients will be recognised at the Young Scientist Awards Ceremony at the University of Technology Sydney.
An outstanding achievement. Well done to all our young scientists! ... See MoreSee Less
We honour the service and sacrifice of veterans and active service members whose courage in times of conflict has safeguarded the freedoms we enjoy today.
To our Old Andreans who served in the armed forces, we offer our deepest gratitude for your unwavering commitment and bravery.
As we reflect, we are reminded of the call to work towards a more peaceful and just world - a legacy worthy of those who have gone before us.
Lest we forget.

Our Year 9 students recently took part in SPARK, a two-day Innovation and Enterprise Workshop designed to turn curiosity into purposeful ideas.
Throughout the workshop, students explored real-world challenges, conducted research and developed creative solutions to problems that matter to them. The experience culminated in a series of two-minute multimodal pitches, where finalists presented their ideas to a panel of judges.
SPARK is just the beginning, with students continuing to develop, prototype and test their concepts through their MYP Personal Projects and the School's Makerspace.
A fantastic opportunity for our students to think creatively, challenge assumptions and explore the possibilities of innovation and enterprise. ... See MoreSee Less

A huge congratulations to Evelia E, who has received an ARTEXPRESS nomination for her HSC Visual Arts major work!
Titled 'The Garden They Raised Her In', Evelia’s textile artwork explores Victorian-era expectations of women and the enduring influence of patriarchal structures. Using hand-dyed and sewn silk petals, corset-inspired elements and a contrasting palette of thorny vines and decaying flowers, Evelia explores the tension between femininity, beauty and suppressed autonomy.
ARTEXPRESS showcases outstanding HSC Visual Arts works, with final selections announced in late November and exhibitions commencing in February 2027.
This Christmas, help us make a difference for families doing it tough.
Through our long-standing partnership with Anglicare, the St Andrew’s community is once again supporting the Anglicare Christmas Hamper Appeal, helping bring hope and joy to families experiencing hardship.
Our goal is to raise $10,000, and we're already close, with almost $7,500 raised!
A donation of $50 can provide one family with a Christmas meal, and contributions of any amount will help make a difference.
We are thrilled to announce that Frederick L has been nominated for ENCORE Music Composition!
ENCORE is a showcase of outstanding music performances and written compositions from HSC music students. Congrats to both the students and their teachers!
Further details on final selections will be available soon.
Being nominated for an HSC Music Showcase is an incredible achievement and we wish Frederick and our previously nominated students the best of luck. ... See MoreSee Less
Last Thursday, we celebrated the wonderful volunteers, sponsors and donors who make such a difference to the St Andrew’s Cathedral School and Gawura School communities at our annual Friends of St Andrew's and Gawura Thank You Evening.
This year’s theme, ‘Look at You’, put our guests in the spotlight, with mirrors and playful messages reminding them of the important role they play in our community. From supporting students through reading programmes and exam scribing to giving their time, expertise and generosity, each contribution helps make our School what it is.
Our student leaders were part of the celebrations, welcoming guests, serving food and helping make the evening a special one. It was a wonderful opportunity to come together, recognise the people behind so much of what we do and express our gratitude for their continued support.
To all our St Andrew's and Gawura School volunteers, sponsors and donors: thank you. We see you, we appreciate you, and our community is better because of you. ... See MoreSee Less
