The School
The school serves pre-school to 12th grade classes.
The School allows for many different paths to be taken. Whether it be academic, sporting, leadership or the performing arts (PA). Leadership positions extend over a range of fields; from Leo (Lions Youth), Community Service Captains, House Captains, Student Council and College/Vice Captains.
Sports wise, the school encourages students to become active by holding three sporting carnivals, annually. These are: Swimming, Athletics and Cross-Country. The Four school houses, Gowandi (green), Jubi (red), Binging (yellow) and Wardjam (blue) compete for house points to win the House Cup at the end of the year.
When the students reach their senior year at St Andrews, they become included in graduating traditions created by the students. First and foremost, the school formal (which is directed by a student-based formal committee), the Valedictory Dinner (a good-bye dinner for students, parents and teachers), Presentation Night (a night for awards, recognition and Performing Arts entertainment) and the Final Chapel (which is led completely by the year twelve students with a Christian theme).
The school also hosts a Fete on every odd based year and a School Musical on every even based year (2012 musical "The Wiz")
Darrin Schumacher is the Head of Junior School, Tom Casey is the Head of Middle School and Tania Stewart is Head of Senior School.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“But I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal.... No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1907–1960)
“School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
