We help every student shine!
At St Andrews, we believe it is important for students to pursue interests to find what they are passionate about. We give them exposure to a range of exciting opportunities to unlock their creative potential, develop a talent or follow a passion.
We help every student shine!

Creative and Performing Arts
We encourage our students to explore their passions and talents. We have a range of opportunities available for students to participate in creative and performing arts activities and programs such as music, drama, visual arts and dance.
St Andrews provides students with exceptional performing arts opportunities including Creative Arts Night (CAN), the College Band, the school choir, the College Shakespeare Festival, Write a Song in a Day and numerous performance showcases throughout the year.
Students who are interested in creative arts are able to showcase their work in the Junior and Senior Art Exhibitions and External Visual Arts Competitions. We participate in CAPTIVATE's Visual Arts Workshops, Access Artist Program and Artist in Residence programs.

School Sport
Sport is a valued part of a school’s curriculum, contributing to the development of the whole child by providing opportunities for social, physical, emotional and moral learning. Participation, enjoyment and skill development are the cornerstones of school sport. Representative pathways are also available through the Parramatta Diocesan Secondary Schools Sports Council.

EMPOWERING FUTURE LEADERS
Student leadership engenders a sense of ownership of the school and this maintains a positive school climate. The college hosts a strong Student Representative Council (SRC), a house student leadership structure and further opportunities through sports, learning, and mission.
Each term, students attend forums, retreats and workshops to develop confidence and communication skills. They can also participate in community leadership programs such as Youth Ambassador Programs and Diocesan Student Council.

Our school values closely engagement with the global community. Since 2011, we have enjoyed a sister school relationship with a school in Nagasaki, Japan.
At our Annual College Unity Day, the entire school community celebrates our rich diversity through First Nations ceremonies, global fashion parades, and cultural performances.

Excursions, Camps and Retreats
Every student loves to get out of the classroom and explore.
Our students benefit greatly from school trips where they are able to observe new things not available at school such as rare and exotic wildlife and plants, different cultures and the stories of our history. These experiences lead to deeper understanding of learning subjects.
Camps and retreats are also wonderful opportunities for students to develop independence, grow in faith, form strong friendships and make life-long memories!
