Welcome to St Andrew’s College, a fully-independent, co-educational school for pre-school to Year 13 day and boarding students. At St Andrew’s, proud Scottish Presbyterian traditions and values, academic rigour, and exceptional sporting, cultural and leadership opportunities combine for an education that is truly world class and a life experience that is unforgettable.

Message for our prospective parents

Thank you for visiting our website – we hope you find it informative and that it reflects the wonderful diversity that our students experience here at the College. In 2011 we were proud to celebrate 20 years of co-education.

Our vision is that St Andrew’s students will be active participants in a dynamic community of learners and inspired to become valued citizens and enthusiastic learners for life. We will nurture the development of talent and creative ability through a balanced exposure to academic, cultural, service, social, spiritual and sporting opportunities.

Open Day dates have been set for 2012, but don't wait until then to come and have a look around. We welcome you to book a guided tour with us at a time that suits you. We look forward to showing you around so you can feel the spirit of St Andrew’s.
