On Wednesday, students and staff attended the Sydney Prayer Breakfast at ICC Sydney, joining more than 1,800 Christian leaders, community members and representatives from organisations across Sydney.
Centred on the theme ‘Hope in the Heart of the City’, the gathering brought together people from a wide range of sectors to pray for our city, nation and world. Through worship, reflection and prayer, attendees lifted up those serving in education, government, health, media, community services and churches, while also remembering those facing hardship and marginalisation.
The morning featured keynote speaker Tim Kirk, who shared his personal faith journey and reflected on the importance of prayer, hope and Christ-centred leadership. It was a meaningful opportunity for our staff to connect with fellow Christian leaders and be encouraged in our shared commitment to serving others with faith, compassion and purpose. ...

Last week, families from our Junior School community joined Rowena Thomas for the first of our two Amazing Me sessions.
For more than a decade, Rowena has partnered with St Andrew’s Cathedral School to help families navigate important conversations around puberty, sexual development and wellbeing with confidence, clarity and care.
Designed for parents and children to attend together, the Amazing Me programme provides practical, age-appropriate guidance while encouraging positive family conversations around topics that can sometimes feel challenging to discuss. The sessions also reinforce the importance of respecting others and celebrating the uniqueness of every individual.
Thank you to Rowena for sharing her expertise with our community, and to the many students and parents who participated in these valuable learning opportunities.
Through programmes such as Amazing Me, we continue to support our students' wellbeing and development as they grow into informed, respectful and confident young people.

Over the past week, we were delighted to welcome the treasured grandparents of our Junior School, Gawura School, Middle School and Senior College students for our annual Grandparents' Day celebrations.
Across both events, grandparents enjoyed special assemblies featuring heartfelt student performances, morning tea hosted by our P&F, classroom visits and school tours, and the opportunity to spend meaningful time with their grandchildren. Junior School and Gawura School grandparents also enjoyed exploring the Book Fair together.
These celebrations are a wonderful reminder of the important role grandparents play in the lives of our students and our wider school community. It was a joy to see generations connecting, sharing stories and creating memories together.
Thank you to our dedicated P&F and parent volunteers for making both days such a success. And to all our grandparents, thank you for your wisdom, warmth, encouragement and unwaver-ing love. Your presence enriches our community, and we are grateful for all that you bring to the lives of our students.

🎤✨ What an incredible afternoon at SACS Factor 2026!
Last Thursday, our students took to the stage with outstanding performances that showcased the talent, creativity and House spirit that make our School community so special.
Beyond the music and entertainment, SACS Factor also provided an opportunity to make a meaningful difference. Through this year's People's Choice Award fundraising initiative, our community raised more than $8,000 in support of South Sydney Anglican Church and its One4Life programme, which provides weekly food distribution, community barbecues and practical support for those in need.
We were privileged to welcome Pastor Matt Johnson, who attended the performances and spoke with students about the impact of the church's outreach programmes. Many of our students also volunteer with South Sydney Anglican Church, helping to run its community meal service.
Congratulations to Canterbury House, who won the SACS Factor competition and York House, who raised the most funds, claiming this year's People's Choice Award!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated, supported their House and cheered on our performers. Most importantly, thank you to every student who took to the stage and helped make SACS Factor another unforgettable celebration of talent, generosity and service.
