Welcome to St Andrew’s Cathedral School in 2026!
We are delighted to welcome all returning and new students and their families for the 2026 year. Our teachers are excited to meet you and are preparing for your arrival. Our first day of school starts with a Welcome in the Square. It’s a time to join us for a coffee and meet other families, our teachers and the P&F team.
What to expect in the lead up to the start of the year
Over the next few months, we will be sending you information to help you enjoy a smooth start to the School year. Our enrolments team will be communicating with new families about registration for various activities, events, general information and more. This microsite is also available and will provide up-to-date information for new and current families in the lead up to the start of 2026. Bookmark this page and check here regularly for updates before the start of Term 1, 2026.
