The future of sport

The future of sport at St Andrew’s Cathedral School is being shaped by student voices.

Through the newly established Sports Committee and Girls Sport Sub-Committee, students are stepping into leadership roles, sharing ideas and exploring ways to strengthen the sporting experience for girls across the School.

As part of this journey, students have been learning from leaders in the sporting industry, gaining new perspectives on building culture, creating opportunities and the important role women play in shaping the future of sport.

Inspired by these experiences, the girls are now turning their ideas into action — working towards initiatives that encourage participation, develop leadership and help create a more connected sporting community.

Read the full story through the link in our bio to learn more about how our students are helping shape the future of sport.

Project Catalyst is

Project Catalyst is a mentoring programme that connects Junior School students with Secondary School mentors in a structured, relationship-based learning experience.

Each week, students are paired across year levels based on shared interests or strengths, meeting on Thursday mornings to set goals, explore ideas and work together on personalised projects – from science investigations and creative pursuits through to competition-based learning.

Designed to support gifted learners, the programme strengthens academic growth while also building confidence, leadership and connection across the School community. For younger students, it offers encouragement and inspiration from older peers; for mentors, it develops communication, empathy and leadership through service.

A powerful example of students learning with and from one another across stages of learning.

Happy birthday to us

Happy birthday to us!

Even though we celebrate our birthday on Gala Day, we actually turn 141 years old today!

On 14th July 1885 St Andrew’s Cathedral School was founded by the third Bishop of Sydney, Dr Alfred Barry with 27 students, 22 of whom were choristers. Its aim was to provide “a high class free education based on church principles in addition to musical training”.

Here is a picture of one of our original locations in c.1909 - this one on Pitt St. There’s a lot going on in this photo including a boy perched on the roof and second from the right, Australia's most famous aviator Sir Charles Kingsford Smith (OA1914).

We’ve come a long way since then, although our foundational principles have not changed in 141 years.

As our School hymn says, and generations of us have proudly sung - ‘we change, but thou art still the same. The same good master, teacher, friend’.

So to all Andreans old and new - here’s to another 141 years!
