An inspiring evening of original student theatre unfolded last night as our Year 10 Drama students took to the Black Box Theatre stage for Line Up.
Entirely student-driven, Line Up showcased the creativity, collaboration and talent of our students, who brought their own short plays to life. From writing and directing to lighting, sound, costumes and set design, students took on every aspect of the production, transforming their ideas into compelling performances.
Congratulations to our Year 10 Drama students on a wonderful evening of storytelling, imagination and hard work. What a fantastic celebration of student creativity!
RESONANCE brought our community together through an afternoon of outstanding music and generosity in support of Anglicare this Christmas.
Led by our Service Learning Captains and Music Captain, students from our Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra and Junior Chamber Orchestra shared their musical talents in a concert celebrating student leadership, musical excellence and service to others.
Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this initiative, helping our students make a meaningful difference in the lives of families experiencing hardship. ... See MoreSee Less
Our Year 5 students have just returned from an incredible camp at Kirrikee in the Southern Highlands. The students embraced every challenge thrown their way - what a time they had! �
Many students mastered new activities for the first time. These included mountain biking and abseiling, with several students conquering their fears and even going back for a second try. Canoeing quickly became a favourite and archery proved another popular activity. The adventure didn’t stop there, with students navigating the Kirrikee property in teams, crossing creeks during bush walks.
A huge thank you to our Outdoor Education team for creating such a meaningful and memorable experience! ... See MoreSee Less
Celebrating academic excellence in Mathematics and English
Congratulations to our students on an outstanding series of achievements in mathematics and writing competitions!
In the Australian Mathematics Competition, students in Years 7–10 earned an impressive four High Distinctions, 38 Distinctions and 76 Credits. Year 8 student Ray Z also received a Best in School award, scoring an exceptional 126.
Our students excelled in the APSMO Maths Olympiad, with the Year 8 team placing in the top 10% nationally. Ray Z and Sam N each scored 19/20, while students across Years 7 and 8 achieved further outstanding individual results.
In the Australian Intermediate Mathematics Olympiad, Year 10 students Emily W and Lucas S both earned Distinctions in the challenging four-hour competition.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Eleanor G received a Gold Award in The Queen’s Commonwealth Writing Competition. In a record-breaking year with 53,840 entries from 56 Commonwealth countries, Eleanor’s work was assessed alongside students up to the age of 18, making her achievement particularly noteworthy.
These results reflect our students’ curiosity, dedication and willingness to challenge themselves across a range of disciplines. Congratulations to all our students, and thank you to the teachers who support and encourage their academic pursuits. ... See MoreSee Less
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
