The St Andrew's Way
We talk a lot about ‘the St Andrew’s Way’—our approach to education is based on high expectations of our staff and students, balanced with a firm commitment to the importance of the relationships that exist between staff, students, and parents.
This ensures that our commitment to encourage each student to develop a love for learning and to challenge themselves to reach their personal best is not something that we simply write about. A quick walk around campus will clearly demonstrate that we strive to turn the rhetoric into reality. Our College motto, with Vision and Spirit, continues to drive our strategic intent.
Our Value Statements are our commitment to building Personal Capacity. To build Personal Capacity, St Andrew's encourages learning, creates opportunities, and builds connections.
Based on our Christian foundation in the Anglican tradition, we leverage the College’s positive energy and supportive community to enable our students to move confidently into their futures.
Vision
To have vision is to be able to 'see with one's mind'—to envisage a good and balanced place ahead.
St Andrew's is a place where students are inspired, and where dreams and visions are honoured by providing personalised learning that is based on individual needs and interests. We deliver teaching that is engaging and inspiring, with the goal of building personal capacity in each of our students.
Spirit
Spirit is the expression of energy, liveliness, and enthusiasm within an individual, group or whole school community.
At St Andrew's, we seek to develop the natural creativity and spirit of enquiry in all students.
Spirit also differentiates one school from another. Staff, students, and parents at St Andrew's are encouraged to form spirited approaches to new ideas and seek involvement in the community. Spirit in a theological sense, points to the Holy Spirit who 'moved upon the face of the waters' at the beginning of creation.


The College Song
'Diamond Strong'
Built up-on Your earth and sand,
A Sea of red upon the land,
Vision and Spirit hand in hand,
Unified as friends we will always stand,
Can you tell me what’s that sound, living learning in the sun,
Tell me what’s that sound, community for everyone,
We’re Diamond Strong and we’re standing tall,
Sing out everyone for we’ll hear the call, St Andrew’s stands as one...
Can you tell me what’s that sound, living learning in the sun,
Tell me what’s that sound, community for everyone,
We’re Diamond Strong and we’re standing tall,
Sing out everyone for we’ll hear the call,
St Andrew’s stands…
And we’re Diamond Strong and we’re standing tall,
Sing out everyone for we’ll hear the call,
St Andrew’s stands as one.
