With the IB Diploma Programme exams beginning next week, our Year 12 IB students are preparing to put their knowledge, curiosity and perseverance to the test.
The IB journey is about so much more than exams, and we hope our students take a moment to reflect on everything they’ve learned and accomplished along the way. As they head into this important period, we wish them focus, resilience and confidence in all they do.
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” - Philippians 4:13
We’ll be thinking of our IB students throughout the exam period and look forward to celebrating all they achieve. ... See MoreSee Less
Our incoming Year 12 students headed to Port Hacking this week to gear up for an exciting year ahead. The retreat was packed with team-building adventures, with students participating in boat racing, rock climbing and competitive trivia.
What makes this trip truly special is that it's an opportunity for the entire cohort to come together to reflect on the months ahead and to create memories, friendships and fun. House groups also began devising strategies for the 2027 House competitions and ways to win the coveted Dean Pitt Shield.
We hope everyone had an amazing time and are just as excited as we are for what’s to come in 2027. ... See MoreSee Less
Last week marked the start of our Confident Parent Course, supporting parents to play an active role in nurturing young people who are resilient, independent and equipped to navigate life’s challenges.
At St Andrew’s Cathedral School, we recognise that wellbeing and character development don’t happen at school alone. The relationships, expectations and support young people experience at home are just as important in shaping how they learn, grow and respond to challenges.
Through the Parent Hope Project, parents are encouraged to reflect on their own responses, strengthen family relationships and help their children build confidence, responsibility and emotional resilience.
By strengthening the partnership between home and school, we can create a more consistent and supportive environment for our students to flourish, not only in their learning, but in life. ... See MoreSee Less
Year 3 had an exciting first overnight camp at Kirrikee!
From swinging through jungle vines, climbing ladders and building mini rafts, our students made the most of everything Kirrikee had to offer.
Well done to all our Year 3 students for stepping outside their comfort zones, embracing new challenges and making wonderful memories together. What an adventure! ... See MoreSee Less
Congratulations to Mairah K, our Junior School Captain, who has won the NSW IPSHA Public Speaking Competition!
This follows another remarkable achievement recently, when Mairah received the Graham Freudenberg Special Category Award in the What Matters? Writing Competition, becoming the first Year 6 student in the competition’s history to receive this recognition.
We are incredibly proud of Mairah and her ability to communicate her ideas with confidence and conviction. What a wonderful way to showcase her talents!
The wait is almost over, with the summer sport season kicking off this weekend! We’re looking forward to another season of competition, teamwork and plenty of great moments on and off the field.
Here’s a look back at some highlights from last summer as we get ready for another exciting season. Bring it on! ... See MoreSee Less

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
