Learning the Ropes 2023

Last week we had more than 85 Old Andreans across 50 industries come back to St Andrews to speak about their career journeys with our senior students.

Library inspiration

At St Andrew’s Cathedral School, we’re blessed to never be far from inspiration. Case in point – our Head of Library (7-12) and IB EE Coordinator, Kathryn Eyre AALIA, MAICD – who inspired us with her recent presentation at the Australian School Libraries Association’s Conference on the Gold Coast.

Mentoring new teaching staff

A new coaching and mentoring programme has been developed at St Andrew’s Cathedral School, designed to maximise the experience of our new teaching staff. The flexible program acknowledges and celebrates that regardless of experience, all our teachers possess teaching expertise and creativity, and that with the right support and empowerment, they can achieve extraordinary outcomes.

Community Engagement awarded for passion

Congratulations to Ms Lyn Jarvis our Director of Community Engagement, who was presented with the ‘Passion & Impact’ Award at the Educate Plus NSW/ACT Summit in Canberra last week.

Introducing: Big Questions

Last night, we were delighted to launch our very first Big Questions seminar exploring Environmental Stewardship from both Aboriginal and scientific perspectives. Pastor Ray Minniecon and Dr Andrew McGonigle shared their knowledge, understanding and different experiences of the world around us, which was followed up by an insightful Q&A with important questions from our audience that led us on a journey to what is possible.
