About our school
St Andrew’s School is a faith community. It is a place where gospel values and the teachings of Christ’s Church are reflected in its policies, its structures and the relationships of its members. At St Andrew’s we aim to integrate areas of secular learning with faith, knowledge and experience. We seek to develop the whole person of the child in an environment where gospel values are lived and become a norm for school policy decisions. The staff of St Andrew’s have implemented an integrated language experience program. This method involves developing a topic in each grade through team teaching, small-group activities leading to child-centred investigations, and excursions.
Due to the highly multicultural nature of St Andrew’s, a main focus is the English as a Second Language program, and languages other than English taught to the children include Italian, French and Arabic. In the area of pastoral care the school has the Rainbows and Prism programs operating. The school is part of the parish and works in very closely with the parish community.

Principal's Message
At St Andrew’s Primary School, every child is known, valued, and encouraged to be their best. With around 320 students, we’re big enough to offer outstanding programs and facilities, yet small enough to provide the personal care and attention each child deserves.
We set high expectations for learning and behaviour, and our students consistently achieve excellent results. Our approach combines a strong back-to-basics focus in literacy and numeracy with rich opportunities for creativity, critical thinking, and personal growth. This success is built on the strong partnership we share with families and the vibrant, multicultural Parish community that surrounds us. Here, children feel a true sense of belonging and are supported to grow in confidence, character, and capability.
Our dedicated teachers bring creativity, innovation, and a love of learning to every classroom. We focus on developing the whole child – academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually – so they leave St Andrew’s ready for the next step in life with the skills, self-belief, and pride to succeed.
We’d love you to come and see our community in action – the smiles, the friendships, the learning, and the spirit that make St Andrew’s such a special place to grow and achieve.
