From the College Principal

Newsletter 13 2023

Dear Members of the St Andrews College Community,

It’s hard to believe we are at the end of Week 4 Term 3 already. The Year 12 cohort are now well into their Trial HSC Exams and Year 11 are in preparation for their end of Preliminary Assessment Block. Our Major Works are almost at the completion stage and the projects are of a high standard again. I enjoy walking into the Year 12 classes and asking the students to explain their works. The hours that go into planning and developing our Major Works across many subjects are a credit to students, staff, and families.

Gospel Reflection: Matthew 14:22-33.

The readings for the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A show us that God is Lord over all of the earth. This might be a good time to talk about how we can let Jesus be Lord in our own lives. There is also a theme of recognizing God.

Football Success:

Congratulations to Mrs Kemal and the Junior Girls Football Team who were undefeated throughout the regular season. Unfortunately they were defeated 1-0 in the semi-final and bow out of the competition. Congratulations to the Junior Boys Football Team who won their semi-final 2-1 and moved into the grand-final where they won 2-0 in a convincing display. They now secure back to back premierships in 2022 and 2023. Well done.

Building Works:

The Hall has now been completed on the outside so we move into the inside where we will shortly commence work on the insulation and sheeting to complete the work combined with an upgrade to the electrical connections and additional televisions (already installed). It will be a wonderful air-conditioned facility when we finish for a variety of activities such as Assemblies, sport, PDHPE classes and Information Evenings.
