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 Mock Trial team on a fantastic result!
Last week, our students secured a convincing win against All Saints College in a defamation case, successfully claiming damages for their client and progressing to the second round of the NSW Mock Trial Competition.
Hosted here at St Andrew's Cathedral School, the event showcased the team's impressive legal knowledge, critical thinking and advocacy skills, as well as the sportsmanship shared by both schools throughout the competition.
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
Year 6 students are designing solutions for a more sustainable future 🌱
Over the course of the term, our Year 6 students have taken on the Research Innovation Project — an independent, design-thinking challenge that encourages them to investigate a real-world issue within their local community and develop ideas that could help create positive change.
On Tuesday afternoon, students shared their projects at an exhibition attended by parents, staff and members of our School community. The showcase was a wonderful opportunity for our young innovators to present their research, explain their thinking and celebrate the journey behind their ideas.
Through this project, students have explored local environmental challenges while developing valuable skills in research, problem-solving, collaboration and communication.
“Students have engaged with real-life issues affecting their local area, using inquiry-based learning to investigate challenges, design thinking skills to innovate solutions and develop meaningful responses. Along the way, they have strengthened their ability to use geographical tools, including maps, graphs and photographs, to support their research and communicate their findings,” said Prue Sommer, Coordinator of Teaching and Learning and Project Lead.
Congratulations to our Year 6 students on their creativity, curiosity and commitment to making a difference in the world around them. 🌏 ... See MoreSee Less
