This week we came together to celebrate our 2025 Academic Excellence Award recipients, a cohort whose achievements reflect not only strong academic results, but the confidence and capability to step into life beyond school.
This year’s award recipients are already pursuing a wide range of pathways, shaped by their interests, ambitions and the foundations built during their time at the School. Our IB Dux, Indigo Parry-Husbands, will commence Law and PPE at the Australian National University. Others are pursuing degrees in Law, Engineering, Veterinary Science, Advanced Science, Business, Clinical Science, Music and Ecology at leading universities across Australia.
What connects these pathways is not a single destination, but the preparation behind them. Throughout their schooling, these students have been supported to think critically, challenge themselves and develop the independence required to navigate life after graduation. This assembly is an important moment to recognise that transition, from students to emerging adults, and to acknowledge the role our community plays in supporting that journey.
We are proud of the Class of 2025 and the diverse futures they are shaping. We look forward to following their journeys and celebrating what comes next. ... See MoreSee Less
71 of our adventurous students set off on a life-changing expedition at the end of last year – our annual 20-day ‘Kosi to Coast’. This trip is the pinnacle of our Outdoor Education Programme. It sees our students summiting Mount Kosciuszko, hiking through the rugged Pilot Wilderness and white-water rafting 150km down the Snowy River to the Victorian coast.
Physically, mentally and emotionally challenging, this journey pushes limits, builds resilience and fosters deeper friendships and a connection with nature.
Well done to our adventurers on completing this incredible feat! ... See MoreSee Less
Last week, our newest students to join St Andrew’s Cathedral School arrived in their classrooms for their first day of Kindergarten in Junior School and Gawura School. With big smiles and even bigger backpacks, our youngest students have started their education journey.
We are so excited to welcome our new students and wish them luck on this exciting new step of entering school. ... See MoreSee Less
Today, St Andrew’s Cathedral School was honoured to host Dr H. F. (Fritz) Schaefer III during his visit to Sydney.
Dr Schaefer, the Graham Perdue Professor of Chemistry at the University of Georgia, is one of the world’s leading scientists and a committed Christian. It was a privilege for our community to hear his insights and be inspired by his remarkable work and faith.
During his visit to the School he met with Year 11 IB Chemistry, Year 11 IB ESS and the Year 9 Science accelerated class.
A truly memorable occasion for our students and staff. ... See MoreSee Less
We give thanks for the beauty of this land and the many gifts we share as a nation — while also acknowledging that its history is complex, and for many First Nations peoples, marked by loss and injustice.
Christian faith teaches us that love of Country and truth-telling belong together.
Reconciliation begins not by looking away, but by listening well. As a school community, we commit ourselves to walking together with humility, respect and hope.

We can’t wait to see our smiling students back at school this week.
Parents, carers and friends, we invite you to our Welcome in the Square events happening on Wednesday 28 January and Monday 2 February from 8am-10am. Join us for a free cup of coffee provided by the P&F. It’s a great opportunity to chat with other parents and even a few staff members.
Today is a chance to celebrate all the ways learning comes to life at St Andrew’s Cathedral School.
From singing in the Cathedral, to debating, dancing, fencing, outdoor adventures at Kirrikee and creative moments in our classrooms - learning here is about curiosity, connection and discovering what you’re capable of.
Grounded in our Christian foundations, we’re proud to be a hopeful learning community that nurtures each student’s strengths and encourages them to use their gifts for a purpose. ... See MoreSee Less
In the midst of deep darkness, we look toward the light.
In response to the tragic events in Bondi, our nation pauses today to mourn, pray and remember those whose lives were lost in the Jewish community and all who are grieving. We do not rush past sorrow or offer easy explanations. We acknowledge grief — and hold space for it. Yet also bear witness to a deeper hope:
Jesus is called “the light of the world” — not because suffering disappears, but because God chooses to enter it, to be present with us within it, and to lead us through it. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:5)
Today, we pray for comfort, for peace and for light — for families, for first responders, for our community and for our nation. May the light that cannot be extinguished hold us all. ... See MoreSee Less

Fabulous SACS Science.
Fortunate students
Australia Day invites both gratitude and honesty.
We give thanks for the beauty of this land and the many gifts we share as a nation — while also acknowledging that its history is complex, and for many First Nations peoples, marked by loss and injustice.
