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 and dance.
St Andrews Primary students can perform with the choir and school orchestra and showcase their talents at our annual Little Big Shots Showcase. In Years 3 and 4, students learn violin, viola and cello through the CAPTIVATE Strings Program. Specialist tuition in music is also available for interested students.

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. Across the school year, students can participate in our athletics carnival, cross country, swimming carnival, coaching clinics and sporting gala days.
Representative pathways are also available through the Parramatta Diocesan Primary Schools Sports Council.

Social justice
Our students are offered a wide variety of local community activities to help develop a sense of pride, respect and responsibility for themselves and others. This positive participation and actions can be seen in how we interact and learn with one another, work collaboratively and take ownership of our behaviour as well as active involvement in faith-based experiences.
St Andrews students participate in various fundraising and awareness-raising initiatives for worthy causes. In recent years, students have supported Cancer Council, St. Vincent de Paul, and Project Compassion (Caritas Australia).

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!
