At St Andrew’s Cathedral School, our students are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re proud to share the many ways they learn, grow, create, contribute and connect.
As online spaces continue to evolve, we’re refining how we share student images and information across our public platforms, in response to evolving guidance from the eSafety Commissioner.
You may notice some changes to the way our social media looks. We’ll continue celebrating the achievements and experiences that make our community special — while taking additional care with how individual students are identified online, particularly through photography.
After two weeks exploring Italy, Germany and France, our 2026 History Tour students have returned home with plenty of stories to tell.
The tour began in Rome, where students explored the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Vatican City, before travelling south to walk the ancient streets of Pompeii and Herculaneum and hike to the top of Mt Vesuvius.
In Germany, visits to Dachau Concentration Camp, the Nuremberg Trials courtroom and sites across Berlin gave students the opportunity to reflect on the rise of Nazism, the Holocaust and the Cold War. Their final days in France included visiting the battlefields, preserved trenches and memorials of the Somme, where Australian soldiers fought during the First World War.
Alongside the history, there were plenty of memorable moments, from making pizza in Italy to exploring European cities together.
A big welcome home to all our students and staff, and thank you to everyone who made this unforgettable experience possible! ... See MoreSee Less
Thank you to the many parents and educators who joined us last night for our K–12 Gifted and Talented and Scholarships Information Evening. It was wonderful to see such a strong turnout at Chapter House.
The evening explored how St Andrew’s Cathedral School supports high-potential and gifted learners through research-informed teaching, extension opportunities and individual talent development, with a focus on students’ academic, social and emotional wellbeing.
Our specialist staff shared insights into gifted education across the Junior and Secondary School, music opportunities and the High Performance Athlete Development Programme. Guests also heard from a St Andrew's parent about their family’s experience and learned more about our Academic and Music Scholarship pathways.
A key theme throughout the evening was the importance of nurturing the whole student: encouraging curiosity, resilience, creativity and a growth mindset, alongside academic achievement.
Thank you to our staff, student panellists and parent speaker for sharing their experiences and helping make the evening such a valuable opportunity for our community. ... See MoreSee Less
What happens when curiosity meets scientific discovery?
For his IB Extended Essay, Year 12 student Yuze investigated the physics behind spikeball, exploring how much energy is lost when the ball drops and bounces. His research uncovered a question that had never been investigated before, making his project a world-first study conducted right here at school.
With guidance from his supervisor, Dr Andrew McGonigle, and help from Australian spikeball player Thomas Kaldor, Yuze collected data, tested his ideas and experienced what it means to contribute new knowledge to a field of research.
From the classroom to the possibility of publishing his findings, Yuze’s project is a wonderful example of where curiosity, independent thinking and a passion for learning can lead. ... See MoreSee Less
Our Year 12 students marked the end of their St Andrew’s journey with a memorable Valedictory Service in St Andrew’s Cathedral last Term, reflecting on the friendships, experiences and moments that have shaped their time at the School.
Through heartfelt speeches, beautiful musical performances and the ringing of the Sir Charles Kingsford Smith Memorial Bell, the service celebrated all that our students have contributed to the St Andrew’s community and the exciting futures that await them.
The celebrations continued at the Year 12 Formal, where students, parents and staff came together for a wonderful evening of laughter, dancing and celebration. It was the perfect opportunity to make more memories and enjoy one final celebration together as the Class of 2026.
To our Year 12 students, congratulations on everything you have achieved. We are incredibly proud of you and wish you all the very best for the next chapter. While your time as students may have come to an end, you will always be part of the St Andrew’s story. ... See MoreSee Less
Tomorrow marks the beginning of the HSC exams, the final stretch of a year filled with hard work, dedication and growth.
As the Class of 2026 heads into this next chapter, we hope they approach each exam with confidence, stay calm under pressure and take pride in how far they’ve come.
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” - Joshua 1:9
We’re proud of all you’ve achieved, Year 12, and will be cheering you on every step of the way. ... See MoreSee Less
Wrapping up our Year 10 Personal Project spotlights with Alec!
Alec combined his passion for sustainability and 3D printing to design and build a machine that transforms used plastic bottles into 3D printing filament. ♻
With more than 30 hours spent designing, coding and assembling, Alec’s project is a great example of turning an idea into something practical, and giving plastic waste a new purpose.
Thanks for following along with our Personal Project spotlights! ... See MoreSee Less
We’re excited to welcome our K–12 students back to school today for the start of Term 4!
