Our Snowsports team carved up the slopes at the Regional Interschools Competition, showing impressive skill and resilience in challenging conditions. Representing our School with grit and good humour were Blake Li, Aubrey Webster, Milo Davies, Mac Foster and Saskia Howland-Rose - many of whom were racing against students with far more time on snow.
From snowboard cross to alpine racing, our students put down fantastic runs, supported each other at every turn, and left it all on the mountain.
A special shoutout to Milo Davies, Mac Foster and Joe Foster, who have qualified for the State Championships in August. We wish them all the best as they take on the next level!
Thank you to the families who travelled, cheered and helped make this experience possible - your support is the backbone of our team.

At the end of Term 2 June, our Year 8 students attended a wellbeing seminar on healthy relationships, bullying and racism. This was hosted by Souths Cares, the community arm of the Rabbitohs football club. This seminar was initiated by the Gawura Parents Advisory Committee (GPAC).
Souths Cares is an independent charity and has been built upon the South Sydney Rabbitohs’ history of supporting the community; in particular Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Its charter is to support youth and their families through the delivery of programmes that address education, training, health and employment needs.
Our students enjoyed an interactive session with the Souths Cares hosts. Following an engaging presentation, attendees took part in a lively discussion and Q&A session that challenged cultural stereotypes and prejudices. Students came away feeling energised and informed, and with lots to think about after the session. ... See MoreSee Less
At the end of Term 2, St Andrew's Cathedral School's Year 12 Aboriginal Studies students presented their major project work to our visitor Aunty Gail Mabo.
Afterwards, Aunty Gail facilitated a yarning circle workshop with the central focus on creating a map of important places that are unique to the students. It was an incredibly engaging lesson and opportunity, and interesting to see the students shine in a creative way beyond their usual classroom work.
Thank you Ms Jarvis, Ms Walker and Aunty Gail for making this opportunity happen for our students. ... See MoreSee Less

Making history: A remarkable first season for AFL at St Andrew’s Cathedral School
Last term marked the beginning of a new chapter with the introduction of AFL into our Sport programme, with the School fielding Junior and Senior teams for the first time. And what a debut season it’s been.
Led by coaches Mr Josh Ralph (Sydney Swans Academy) and Mr Cameron McIvoy, both teams have gone from strength to strength, showing immense grit, growth and team spirit throughout Term 2.
From running through a banner in their first ever game to delivering decisive wins, our Junior team lit up the season with standout performances, including a historic 134–0 victory over Cranbrook and a comprehensive 114–13 win in the final round to secure a spot in Finals. Their passion, unity and resilience, even in tough matches, has set the tone for the future.
Not to be outdone, our Senior team made their mark with fierce contests and memorable wins, none bigger than their 101–77 victory over Waverley College, a school renowned for its AFL strength. Their progression was capped off with a confident 71–27 win in the final round to cement their place in the Term 3 Finals.
To have both Junior and Senior teams through to seeded finals in their inaugural season is an extraordinary achievement. Congratulations to all players and coaching staff for their dedication, courage and pride in the Navy and White. ... See MoreSee Less
Last Saturday, staff from both Gawura School and St Andrew's Cathedral School were honoured to attend the NAIDOC Week Reception at Government House, hosted by Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC, Governor of New South Wales.

We’re proud to stand alongside others across New South Wales who are helping shape a future grounded in strength, vision and legacy. ... See MoreSee Less
'Clear Illusion' was a student-led theatrical triumph!
On Friday 20 June, the curtains rose on 'Clear Illusion' - an original, student-created mystery drama written and co-directed by Year 11 student Lachlan Sparshott.
Set in wartime London and packed with courtroom twists, 'Clear Illusion' kept the audience on edge from start to finish. Lachlan not only penned the gripping script but also led rehearsals, guided performances, and refined the story throughout the process. His leadership brought a layered, ambitious production to life, supported by a cast and crew of passionate peers.
From the powerful performances on stage to the technical lighting, costumes and sound design, the entire show was a showcase of student talent. A huge congratulations to the incredible team behind the production including Mika Chin, Yuze Ding, Izzy Darge, Martha Way Stamatellis, Ally Rose and Pyari Qureshi.
As Head of School, Dr Julie McGonigle said, “I was blown away by Lachlan’s first play ‘In Plain Sight’ in 2024 and this one was even better. Congratulations to the cast and crew for what was an absolute triumph.”
Betrayal, illusion and the pursuit of justice - thank you to everyone who supported this unforgettable piece of theatre. ... See MoreSee Less
