Milestones
St Andrew’s Cathedral School is a school unlike any other. For 140 years, it has been Sydney’s quintessential city school – a vibrant, diverse and future-focused community shaped by the dynamic heart of the CBD. Grounded in its Christian foundation, the school holds deep convictions about the value of each child – believing that every student is precious, deeply loved by God and uniquely gifted for a purpose. This belief underpins everything the school does, from academic programs to student wellbeing.
Character and conviction are at the heart of a St Andrew’s Cathedral School education. These qualities lay the foundation for academic excellence and holistic pastoral care, helping students to grow in wisdom, resilience and hope – so they can use their learning to positively shape the world around them.
Teachers at St Andrew’s Cathedral School are experts in their fields who thrive on the relational nature of education. They are deeply involved in the growth of each child, both in and beyond the classroom, and are continually developing their own practice through a forward-thinking professional learning program.
At the heart of the school is Gawura School, recognised nationally for its outstanding First Nations-led approach to education. As noted by the 2020 School of the Year judges, Gawura is “a lighthouse program in Indigenous education with wonderful, almost unheard-of outcomes.”
