Feel the Spirit
St Andrew’s College was founded in 1917 in the Scottish
Presbyterian tradition of the Christian faith. The values our
forefathers held dear remain strong and true today. They form a
foundation for success and happiness in life within and beyond
the school gates.
Truth
Throughout your time at St Andrew’s we uphold your right to
be allowed, and indeed inspired, to challenge and enquire, to
think critically, to formulate opinions without prejudice, to seize
opportunities without fear and to maintain the highest ethical
standards. Our role is to help you be the best you can be and
make a positive contribution to your community and society.
Excellence
A culture of excellence will touch every part of your life at
St Andrew’s. In all your endeavours, we encourage you to set
high standards, have high expectations, strive for and support
excellent work, have pride in your school and celebrate the
efforts and achievements of you and your peers.
Faith
Christian spirituality is central to who we are and what we offer.
Chapel worship and Religious Education are in keeping with our
Presbyterian origins, although we welcome people of all faiths.
Chapel services will be an integral part of your weekly routine
and you will also attend Religious Education classes once a
week.

our Forefathers
