Community

We are proud of the strong connections we maintain with our Old Collegians (alumni) and the wider St Andrew's College community, who all make important contributions to StAC life.

A global network

St Andrew’s College remains a significant part of the lives of many of our students and their families long after their schooling years have concluded. There are a number of ways in which a lifelong connection with the College can be maintained, and we warmly welcome the involvement of all who are interested.

Our extended community is supportive and engaged, extending all around the globe. Our community includes our current families, staff, Old Collegians, PTA, Ladies’ Circle, past parents, past staff, and friends of the College.

"I love the community spirit - it is difficult to express it to those who have not experienced it; however, it is conveyed in the confidence of the students, their support and appreciation of the College, and of each other."
