The 2026 Easter Hat Parades were filled with colour, creativity and character! 🎩🌸✨
It was wonderful to see our Junior School and Gawura School students proudly showcase their incredible hard work. From Kindy to Year 4 on Tuesday 31 March, and Year 5 and 6 on Friday 27 March, each parade was a vibrant celebration of imagination and community spirit.
Awards were presented for creativity and originality, and with so many brilliant and inspiring entries making it a tough decision for our panel of judges!
A special thank you to Chaplain Michael Bennett, who shared meaningful words with our children, parents and staff.
Congratulations to all our students on their amazing creations and thank you to the family members who joined us and helped make the event so memorable. 💛 ... See MoreSee Less
From Thursday to Saturday night, our 2026 School Musical, Mary Poppins, took flight at The Concourse Theatre, delighting audiences with a spectacular display of storytelling, music, dance and theatrical magic.
What an extraordinary few days it was. A production of this scale is one of the defining moments in our School calendar, and this year’s show was no exception. From the energy of ‘Step in Time’ to the joy of ‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’, our students brought ‘Cherry Tree Lane’ to life with professionalism, creativity and heart.
Director of Performing Arts, Mr Ben Milis reflected: “Stories like Mary Poppins resonate across generations because they invite us to rediscover wonder… the belief that what is fractured can be renewed, and that life and joy can return where they seemed to fade.”
That spirit was felt in every moment on stage.
To our remarkable cast, crew and orchestra — thank you. You entertained, challenged and inspired us, sharing your gifts with generosity and courage. And to our dedicated staff team, whose vision and care brought this production to life: thank you for setting the standard and guiding our students so brilliantly.
As the curtain falls, we celebrate not just an outstanding production, but a community that continues to create, collaborate and tell stories that matter.
Amazing production. Thank you for giving our children a chance to be part of something great!
It was so so good.
A true team effort!
Palm Sunday (Luke 19:28-40)
As Jesus enters Jerusalem, He comes not in strength or status, but in humility — riding on a donkey. The crowds rejoice, yet don’t fully understand the kind of King He is.
Palm Sunday reminds us that God’s kingdom often looks different to what we expect. True power is found in humility, and true victory in service.
As a school community, we are invited to reflect on what this means for us — how we show humility, serve others and follow His example in our everyday lives. ... See MoreSee Less

Celebrating a fantastic day of reading, teamwork and literary brilliance!
The Chapter House was buzzing as we hosted the Sydney heat of the Kids’ Lit Quiz yesterday, an international competition that challenges students aged 10-13 on everything from authors and characters to poetry and classic stories.
With 24 teams from schools across Sydney taking part, including St Andrew’s Cathedral School, Shore, Ravenswood, Abbotsleigh and more, the competition was fierce, fast-paced and full of impressive literary knowledge.
A huge congratulations to our St Andrew's Team 1, who took out the win and will now represent us at the Australian Final this May at the State Library of NSW.
A big thank you to our Head Librarian, Mrs Louise Saint‑John for organising such an exciting event, and to all participating schools for making it a day to remember.
We wish our team the very best as they take on the next stage! ... See MoreSee Less
What a joyful celebration of learning, community and achievement at our Junior School and Gawura School Term 1 Awards Assembly this morning 🌟
Held in the beautiful St Andrew’s Cathedral, the morning was filled with a wonderful sense of pride, as students, families and staff came together. It was especially lovely to welcome so many proud parents, sharing in this special occasion.
Our talented students set the tone with uplifting performances from the Junior Chamber Ensemble, Junior String Orchestra and Junior Percussion Ensemble.
Mrs Robson, Head of School (Primary), reflected on how a school is like a beehive — a place of shared purpose, care and collaboration. We were also led in heartfelt prayers of thanksgiving by our Junior School Captains Mairah and Thomas, with the Bible reading by our Vice-Captain, Aidan.
We celebrated student achievement across Music, Visual Arts and Science, alongside our Heart, Mind and Life Awards – recognising not just academic success, but character and contribution.
The morning concluded with a warm and cheerful gathering over morning tea in the Chapter House.
A truly special way to honour the energy, spirit and accomplishments of Term 1. ... See MoreSee Less
Last week, our Junior School came together for Harmony Week – a vibrant celebration of the cultures, stories and traditions that shape our community.
From our collaborative art project to the colour and creativity of Multicultural Dress Day, it was a week full of connection, learning and joy. Classrooms were filled with storytelling, the library came alive with cultural exploration and our Taste of Harmony sessions brought everyone together over food from around the world.
A big thank you to our students, families and staff for making it so special. ... See MoreSee Less
From autonomous vehicles to bringing DreamWorks animation to life, our Responsible Futuring series got off to a soaring start yesterday morning.
The event focused on Engineering and Technology, with a wonderful team of industry experts attending, sharing their knowledge and wisdom. Among our guests we hosted Australia’s Hydropower lead, a software engineer for DreamWorks, a technology innovator and futurist and experts in mobile banking, mechanical engineering, laser physics, technology start-ups, software engineering and more.
Following a warm welcome from School Captain, Lachlan Sparshott, the audience enjoyed a panel discussion, hosted by Head of School, Dr Julie McGonigle.
After the panel, our students were able to meet the presenters in person, to ask them for tailored advice and direction.
Dr McGonigle said, “it was a privilege to spend time hearing from these experts, my sincere thanks to them all. They have truly inspired, informed and excited our students about the future – so much so that we couldn’t get them back to class – they are ready to start now!”
Our next Responsible Futuring event take place on 21 May, with a spotlight on Medicine, Health and Psychology – see you there! ... See MoreSee Less
