From day one to nearly done!

Yesterday, our Junior School and Gawura School gathered to farewell those who have been with us from the very beginning, the Year 12s who journeyed through the Junior School. It was a touching moment as our youngest students said goodbye to those who once stood where they are now.

We also honoured our Ultimate Andreans – students who have been with us from Kindergarten through to Year 12. This year we celebrated a historic milestone: the largest number of Ultimate Andreans in recent memory – with 10 students completing their entire schooling at St Andrew’s Cathedral School in our 140th year.

Alumni and Development Manager, Mr Richard Hansen (OA2003), shared “We celebrate not just their journey but the bonds built over many years – a testament to resilience, friendship and the lifelong memories we share here at St Andrew’s Cathedral School.”

This farewell wasn’t just about endings – it was a celebration of growth, connection and the enduring strength of our community, where each generation inspires the next. ... See MoreSee Less

R U OK? 💛

Today, our whole School was activated to mark R U OK? Day.

R U OK? is a mental health and harm prevention charity that encourages people of all ages to build strong personal relationships with friends and family. It encourages us to Ask, Listen, Encourage action and Check in (ALEC).

Students took part in a broad range of activities. Junior School and Gawura School wore yellow accessories, Middle School and Senior College watched Inside Out 2, and staff were encouraged to have a chat with a fellow colleague over a free tea or coffee. Throughout the week, students have been learning about caring for one another in age-appropriate ways.

Gavin Larkin, the father of Old Andrean Josie Larkin (OA 2019) established the charity in 2009 and his extraordinary story was brought to life by an episode of ABC Australian Story in 2011.

We want all our students to feel empowered and equipped to have R U OK? conversations, and today serves as a reminder of the importance of checking in with your friends and family any day. ... See MoreSee Less

Welcome to Wonderland!

What an adventure it has been! Last week, our Junior School and Gawura School students brought Disney’s Alice in Wonderland Jr to life in three magical performances that delighted audiences and transported us all down the rabbit hole.

From the frantic White Rabbit to the ever-smiling Cheshire Cat, from singing flowers to a tea party that was anything but ordinary, our talented Year 3-6 students embraced every moment of this whimsical tale. Their courage, creativity, teamwork and joy shone brightly under the stage lights - reminding us how powerful the performing arts are in shaping confidence, character and community.

This production would not have been possible without the dedication of our amazing staff, parent volunteers and the generosity of our wonderful sponsors, thank you for helping us create a true Wonderland.

Bravo to our incredible cast and crew, you have made us so proud! ... See MoreSee Less

Happy Father’s Day!

Today, we celebrate the dads, grandads, uncles, carers and all father figures who play such a special role in the lives of our students. From helping with homework and building class projects, to offering guidance, encouragement and those much-needed hugs – your influence is felt every day.

Thank you to our P&F for organising our Father’s Day celebration on Monday morning. It was wonderful to see so many people attend, and enjoy a coffee and a bacon and egg roll.

We also acknowledge that Father’s Day can be a difficult time for some in our community. We hold in our prayers students who may not have been able to see their father today, and we give thanks for the strong and caring role models who mentor, support and inspire them.

As we mark our 140th year, we are grateful for the generations of fathers and father figures who have helped shape our School community into what it is today. Your dedication, wisdom and love leave a legacy far beyond the classroom. ... See MoreSee Less

Snow Camp season wrapped!

Over the past three weeks, our Year 9 students have braved the alpine backcountry on their unforgettable snow camps. From first-time skiers learning to telemark, to snowball fights, ski tours and camping in the snow at –8°C, every group embraced the challenges and joys of life in the mountains.

They experienced sunshine, rain, wind and even heavy snow, showing resilience, adaptability and teamwork along the way. For many, it was their very first time in the snow, an experience they’ll never forget!

A huge congratulations to all our students for their spirit and perseverance, and to our staff for guiding them safely through three very different but equally memorable weeks in the alpine environment.
