At St Andrew’s Cathedral School, learning doesn’t stop with our students – it extends to every corner of our community.
Recently, our winter sports coaches took part in professional learning, led by our Senior Learning Coach, Ms Elle Smith. An evening of 'Coaching the Coaches' reinforced our intentional approach to teaching and development in every space, including the sporting arena, as we gear up for another exciting season ahead.
By investing in our sport coaches, we are strengthening their ability to teach, guide and inspire our students – ensuring that every training session and competition is not just about performance, but about growth, character development and wellbeing.
The collaborative nature of our Professional Learning Programme creates a positive learning environment for our Sport Coaches. It ensures they have the skills for the upcoming season to motivate our students to achieve growth, both as individuals and as a team.
Because at St Andrew’s Cathedral School, sport is more than competition. It is a vital part of how we shape confident, capable and respectful young people.
St Andrew’s Cathedral School proudly took part in the 2026 SACS Cup, with both our Boys’ and Girls’ teams delivering exceptional performances across an exciting week of football.
Held at Sydney FC’s world-class training facilities in Macquarie Park, the tournament showcased the talent, determination and sportsmanship that define the St Andrew’s Cathedral School Football Programme.
A standout feature of the competition was the unity displayed across all teams. Students from Years 7 to 12 supported one another throughout the tournament, fostering a spirit of camaraderie and connection that extends far beyond the pitch. Junior players also embraced opportunities to step into a high-performance environment, demonstrating confidence and maturity against strong opposition.
As Sports Administrator and Convenor Mr Simon Aitken reflected: “What impressed me most was not only the quality of the football, but the way the students conducted themselves as a team. The communication, selflessness and willingness to support one another were consistently on display throughout the day.”
We congratulate all players on their outstanding efforts and thank our dedicated staff and supportive families for contributing to a memorable event. We look forward to building on this success in the upcoming ISA season. ... See MoreSee Less
Over the past two weeks, our Senior College students have taken part in powerful, thought-provoking workshops delivered by Tomorrow Man and Tomorrow Woman.
These sessions created space for our young men and women to engage in honest conversations around identity, respect, consent and the expectations that can shape relationships. Through open dialogue and expert guidance, students were encouraged to reflect, challenge assumptions and build the skills needed to foster respectful, healthy connections.
This initiative forms part of our broader commitment to the Respectful Relationships Project – a whole-school approach to embedding respect, empathy and integrity into the daily life of our community.
At St Andrew’s Cathedral School we believe education must extend beyond the classroom. By partnering with organisations like Tomorrow Man and Tomorrow Woman, we are equipping our students not only with knowledge, but with the courage and character to lead positive cultural change.
Congratulations to Ms Amanda Hogan, our Deputy Head of Technological & Applied Studies (TAS), on being awarded the Women Leading Tech/Education award 🎉

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
