Our Academic Scholarships are now open for Year 10 or 11 entry in 2026. We are offering scholarships into both our HSC and International Baccalaureate Development Program streams.
These scholarships are available to students currently in Year 9 and Year 10 who are keen to take their learning to the next level in 2026. Applicants need to demonstrate commitment to their learning and school/community life, must be exemplary students with a strong academic track record, who are motivated by the outstanding opportunities and academic choice offered at St Andrew’s Cathedral School. 2026 Scholarships are awarded based on an examination and a successful scholarship interview.
Today we celebrate all the mums and mother figures in our community. From school drop-offs and homework help to comforting hugs and unwavering support - you play an irreplaceable role in the lives of our students, and we are deeply grateful.
We also hold in our hearts those for whom today is difficult - students who may not be able to be with their mothers, and families where a mother may not be present. We pray for all mothers, and for children to be surrounded by caring mentors, role models and nurturing support.
To every mum, grandma, aunty and carer we thank you for the love, strength and guidance you give. Your presence means more than words can say. ... See MoreSee Less
Congratulations to Ollie Conolly (Year 10), whose stunning portrait was shortlisted in the top 10% of entries for this year’s Young Archie competition at the Art Gallery of NSW.
Ollie’s work, created for the Young Archie and now proudly part of his Personal Project, captures not just remarkable technical talent, but deep emotional depth and connection – core to what the competition celebrates: a portrait of someone who is known to you and who knows you.
Well done, Ollie, on this incredible recognition and portfolio piece! ... See MoreSee Less
This morning, we celebrated the incredible mothers and mother figures in our community with a heartfelt drop-in breakfast hosted by our amazing P&F in the Square.
Over coffee, pastries and polaroid keepsakes, families shared laughter, stories and snapshots – a quiet moment of joy in the bustle of school life. Our Girls Vocal Group added an extra touch of magic with their beautiful performance.
A huge thank you to our P&F for making this morning so special — and to every mother, grandmother, carer and mother figure in our community — for the love and support you give every day. You are deeply appreciated. ... See MoreSee Less
Thanks to the P&F for putting on such a lovely, thoughtful event! The rain didn’t dampen the spirit or enthusiasm. It was a beautiful way to start my day, and I’m truly grateful X
Thank you SACS for a beautiful morning 💝

The Gala Ball of the decade is here – and you’re invited.
Celebrate our 140 year birthday in true style with black tie elegance, live music from the Baker Boys, fine dining, dancing, laughter and a night to dazzle with the School community.
Whether you are new to the School or a familiar face; this is one night you won’t want to miss!
Congratulations to Nyarla Gordon and Joe Doenicke!
Nyarla Gordon (Year 7) is proving unstoppable. At just 12 years old, she’s making waves across multiple areas of sport. A Rugby League player since the age of three – in the boys’ comp – Nyarla now features in the South Sydney Rabbitohs’ “Play Her Way” female development programme. This year, she represented NSW at the Indigenous School Girls Rugby League Championships, helping her team win the national title, and was selected for the 13s Australian Indigenous School Girls team to compete in September. In February, she helped lead her Oztag team to an undefeated State Championship win and secured a place at Nationals later this year. She also plays representative netball for Randwick, recently winning a statewide carnival, and continues to represent St Andrew’s Cathedral School at the highest school level in Netball, Touch and Athletics. Add to that her role as Ball Girl for the South Sydney Rabbitohs – and somehow, she still finds time to be a student! A remarkable athlete and fierce competitor, we can’t wait to see what Nyarla achieves next.
Joe Doenicke (Year 4) is making international strides of his own. After winning the National Cup last year with his Elle Academy teammates, Joe’s team was selected to represent Australia at the prestigious Pro Academy Series in the UK – competing against football giants like Chelsea, PSG, Arsenal and AC Milan. They rose to the challenge, defeating a top Portuguese academy, dominating Oxford United 4–1 and securing a memorable 2–2 draw with AC Milan. But beyond the results, it was their belief, teamwork and courage that left the biggest impression. Joe represented his team, country and school with pride – and we couldn’t be prouder. Here’s to an exciting 2025 football season ahead!
To Nyarla and Joe, your determination and talent are truly inspiring. ... See MoreSee Less

Students from Gawura School have just returned from an unforgettable ‘On Country’ cultural tour to Central Australia - an experience rooted in identity, learning and connection.
Over seven days, our First Nations students from Years 5 to 12 journeyed from Alice Springs to Uluru, travelling through sacred sites on Arrernte and Luritja lands. They met Traditional Owners and immersed themselves in the world’s oldest living culture.
The group traced ancient rock art, walked the Valley of the Winds, shared stories around the campfire at the Lilla outstation and stood in awe of Uluru as the sun set on Country.
This annual tour is more than just a trip - it’s a chance to walk the land, listen to the stories of ancestors and return with deeper knowledge, cultural pride and a stronger sense of self. This benefits our students’ everyday lives, both at home and within the Gawura School classrooms.
“This is our Country’s geographical heart, cultural heart, spiritual heart, where The Dreaming began,” said Aunty Leanna Carr-Smith, Former Elder in Residence at the School.
Experiences like these continue to: 'Bridge worlds. Build futures.'
