Easter begins in quiet uncertainty, and turns to joy. The tomb is empty. Hope is alive. At the heart of Easter is the promise that life is stronger than death, and that even after the darkest moments, new life is possible.
As a community, we celebrate this message of hope, renewal and new beginnings. Christ is risen. He is risen indeed.
On Thursday 26 March, Ruby Daley (OA2025) delivered a fabulous presentation at the Art Gallery of NSW, sharing insights into her 2025 Visual Arts body of work.
Speaking to an auditorium of HSC students and teachers, Ruby explored the creative journey behind her artworks with confidence and depth. She represented St Andrew’s Cathedral School with distinction, bringing great pride to her school community.
A 2025 graduate of the School, Ruby continues to impress with her thoughtful and evocative practice. Her achievements include receiving an ARTEXPRESS selection from the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA), recognising her outstanding artistic excellence.
Her major work, 'tell me about your nature, maybe I’ve been getting you wrong', reflects on the natural world and encourages audiences to reconsider what we often overlook or dismiss as insignificant.
Ruby’s work will be on display at the Art Gallery of NSW until 26 April 2026 – an inspiring opportunity to experience her work firsthand. ... See MoreSee Less
Good Friday is a day to pause and reflect. At the cross, we see a love that doesn’t turn away from hardship or suffering, but meets it with courage and compassion.
It reminds us that even in the most difficult moments, love remains — steady, sacrificial and enduring.
As a school community, it’s a chance to reflect on how we show that same care and kindness to one another, especially when it matters most.
From the magic of Mary Poppins to the colour and connection of Harmony Day, Term 1 has been filled with memorable moments across our School. Highlights included Kirrikee Family Day, the Big City Bake Off, exciting sporting final wins and our Junior School and Gawura School Swimming Carnival.
Thank you to our students, staff and families for a brilliant Term 1. We’re looking forward to what Term 2 will bring! ... See MoreSee Less
The 2026 Easter Hat Parades were filled with colour, creativity and character! 🎩🌸✨
It was wonderful to see our Junior School and Gawura School students proudly showcase their incredible hard work. From Kindy to Year 4 on Tuesday 31 March, and Year 5 and 6 on Friday 27 March, each parade was a vibrant celebration of imagination and community spirit.
Awards were presented for creativity and originality, and with so many brilliant and inspiring entries making it a tough decision for our panel of judges!
A special thank you to Chaplain Michael Bennett, who shared meaningful words with our children, parents and staff.
Congratulations to all our students on their amazing creations and thank you to the family members who joined us and helped make the event so memorable. 💛 ... See MoreSee Less
From Thursday to Saturday night, our 2026 School Musical, Mary Poppins, took flight at The Concourse Theatre, delighting audiences with a spectacular display of storytelling, music, dance and theatrical magic.
What an extraordinary few days it was. A production of this scale is one of the defining moments in our School calendar, and this year’s show was no exception. From the energy of ‘Step in Time’ to the joy of ‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’, our students brought ‘Cherry Tree Lane’ to life with professionalism, creativity and heart.
Director of Performing Arts, Mr Ben Milis reflected: “Stories like Mary Poppins resonate across generations because they invite us to rediscover wonder… the belief that what is fractured can be renewed, and that life and joy can return where they seemed to fade.”
That spirit was felt in every moment on stage.
To our remarkable cast, crew and orchestra — thank you. You entertained, challenged and inspired us, sharing your gifts with generosity and courage. And to our dedicated staff team, whose vision and care brought this production to life: thank you for setting the standard and guiding our students so brilliantly.
As the curtain falls, we celebrate not just an outstanding production, but a community that continues to create, collaborate and tell stories that matter.
Amazing production. Thank you for giving our children a chance to be part of something great!
It was so so good.
A true team effort!
Palm Sunday (Luke 19:28-40)
As Jesus enters Jerusalem, He comes not in strength or status, but in humility — riding on a donkey. The crowds rejoice, yet don’t fully understand the kind of King He is.
Palm Sunday reminds us that God’s kingdom often looks different to what we expect. True power is found in humility, and true victory in service.
As a school community, we are invited to reflect on what this means for us — how we show humility, serve others and follow His example in our everyday lives. ... See MoreSee Less
The cast, crew and orchestra are gearing up for night two of Mary Poppins!
After a fantastic opening, the energy is high and the magic is building as our performers get ready to bring it all to life again tonight - practically perfect in every way. ... See MoreSee Less
