Huge congratulations to our incredible students who defeated Willoughby Girls High School in a thrilling civil case round last week! Acting for the defence, our students absolutely shone, some stepping into brand-new roles with confidence, while others masterfully implemented feedback from previous rounds.
Ms Penny Austin (HSIE Teacher) shared her pride in a message to the team: "I’m so proud of each of you... every one of you did so well. A huge effort late in the Term. It’s a privilege to work with such a dedicated and kind group of young people."
With a fantastic 30-point margin win, our fingers are firmly crossed for the elimination rounds! Outstanding work, team! ... See MoreSee Less

After nine unforgettable days in Central Australia, 27 Year 10 students arrived back in Sydney last Sunday with memories and experiences that will stay with them for a lifetime.
The journey began with four days trekking sections of the iconic Larapinta Trail, where students challenged themselves physically while taking in the breathtaking landscapes of the West MacDonnell Ranges.
The group then continued their adventure with Remote Education Tours, spending time On Country in Lilla and deepening their understanding of Aboriginal culture, history and connection to place. Highlights also included visits to the spectacular Kings Canyon, Uluru and Kata Tjuṯa.
From rugged hikes and desert sunrises to cultural learning and personal growth, the tour offered students a unique opportunity to step beyond the classroom, build resilience and gain a deeper appreciation of Australia's extraordinary natural and cultural heritage.
We look forward to hearing their stories from an incredible journey through the heart of Australia. ... See MoreSee Less
Last Friday night, Sydney Town Hall became the stage for one of the most anticipated events in the St Andrew's Cathedral School calendar: Showcase 2026: Unfolding.
More than a concert, Showcase is a celebration of who our students are becoming. Through music, drama and dance, students from Kindergarten to Year 12 shared a powerful artistic journey exploring our School Vision: knowing our worth, developing our gifts with purpose and making a responsible impact in the world.
The evening celebrated the depth and diversity of performing arts at St Andrew’s, with performances by pianists, singers, dancers, actors and musicians across all year groups. Together, they told a powerful story of growth, creativity and excellence nurtured throughout a student’s time at the School.
Highlights included the Unfolding Medley - featuring pianists spanning Year 2 to Year 12, Symphony Orchestra's stirring performance of ‘How to Train Your Dragon’, the Middle School Choir's ‘Into the Unknown’, William Wheeler's (Year 12, Music Captain) moving rendition of ‘Gethsemane’ and a powerful finale featuring Massed Choirs, the Showcase Dance Troupe and every Year 7 student performing ‘Just One Step’.
As Director of Performing Arts Mr Ben Milis reflected, every child who stepped onto the stage carried something far greater than musical skill alone. They were sharing gifts that have been patiently nurtured, shaped and encouraged by a community committed to helping young people flourish.
To our students, staff, conductors, accompanists, tutors, choreographers, technicians and families: thank you. Your countless hours of dedication made this extraordinary evening possible.
Showcase 2026 was a celebration of creativity, courage and community. Most of all, it was a reminder that something beautiful is always unfolding. ... See MoreSee Less

On Tuesday, 12 of our Junior School students put their creativity, teamwork and resilience to the test in the inspiring Write a Book in a Day competition.
Working against the clock, our young authors and illustrators spent the day creating an original book from scratch, responding to a unique set of story parameters and bringing their ideas to life in just 12 hours.
More than a writing challenge, Write a Book in a Day raises vital funds for childhood cancer research, while every book submitted is shared with children in hospitals across Australia to brighten their day during treatment.
We are incredibly proud of our students for embracing this challenge with such enthusiasm, imagination and collaboration. We can't wait to see the finished book and celebrate their remarkable achievement.
