Last week, St Andrew’s Cathedral School hosted the famous SACS Cup Football Tournament for the 25th year in a row. It was already such a monumental tournament being 25 years since its establishment, but this year was extra special since, for the first time ever, we hosted a tournament for the girls too.

The two-day tournament was a rollercoaster as we saw our boys team giving it their all and pushing themselves to the limit. On day one they finished second in their pool, but unfortunately, they were unable to secure a win on day two. However, they finished overall within the top eight of the competition which is the best result they’ve had in several years leaving our boys with a sense of pride and achievement.

Our girls competed equally as competitively and used this momentous occasion to showcase their skills on the pitch. The competition from the eight other independent schools was fierce and unfortunately, our girls were unable to win any of their games. Despite the losses, our girls felt proud of their efforts and are determined to come back again next year with even more strength, skill and tenacity.

SACS Spirit was certainly on display with our teams meeting the challenges of the day head on. ... See MoreSee Less

NEW YORK CITY THEATRE SCENE – UP CLOSE. Recently, thirty of our talented drama students embarked on the 2024 USA Drama Tour. First stop, the ‘Big Apple’ where they attended drama workshops, visited museums and watched a number of Broadway shows including Harry Potter, Hadestown and The Play That Goes Wrong.

For drama students, it doesn’t get much better than this! The students get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch and learn from professional actors, as well as explore the world and the different cultures present in NYC.

There was a sense of elation being at the centre of New York arts and culture. Nonetheless, the students have taken full advantage of the NYC lifestyle – visiting Times Square, enjoying $1 pizza and experiencing the iconic NYC subway. Next stop…Chicago, with more exciting opportunities. ... See MoreSee Less

MAGIC UNDER THE SEA: The magic of The Little Mermaid was brought to the stage in typical St Andrew's Cathedral School fashion - with a spectacular, endearing and sometimes rollicking rendition at the Concourse Theatre in Chatswood.

The show was a brilliant culmination of all the hard work and exceptional talent of the students across the board – and what a show it was! Showcased over 6 appearances, the show was a feast for the eyes, with some scenes featuring the entire cast ranging from Years 7 to 12, drawing cheers, applause and even heartfelt tears from the audience.

Unsurprisingly, a number of students mentioned that being part of the show was an exciting and transformative experience.

Parents and a number of seasoned professionals remarked that the “entire production was at a commercial level” and that many were shocked to “find out that it was a school production featuring students”. Whether the students were onstage, backstage or under the stage in the orchestra pit, they all had a part to play with each and every person bringing their passion alongside extraordinary skills and expertise. Congratulations must go to the fantastic team of expert staff who made this production happen - it was certainly a team effort that brought everyone together, fostering relationships that will last a lifetime. ...
