ABOUT OUR COLLEGE

St Andrew's is a relatively new 1650 student Prep to Year 12 College established in 2001 and located in the Redlynch Valley approximately 10km north west of the Cairns CBD. The College provides exciting educational opportunities in bright spacious modern buildings set in an attractive open landscaped environment and grouped on the site to provide for the needs of Junior Years (Prep to Year 5) middle Years (Years 6 to Year 9) and Senior Years (Years 10 to Year 12). St Andrew's is a Catholic College where the relationships of trust and respect among students and teachers the committed involvement of parents and others in the College and the school's outreach into the local community is evident.

JUNIOR YEARS Prep - Year 5

Junior Years at the College caters for children aged Prep to Year 5 and focuses on the needs and requirements of the students at these particular developmental stages. The development of a good home-school partnership is an essential ingredient through the Junior Years. Involving parents and carers ensures a greater understanding of the College’s role and our respect for them as partners in the education process. We encourage and welcome involvement from parents in the life of the Junior Years. Education does not only take place in the classroom. Playing is a time when children can develop many social skills. St Andrew’s Junior Years provides a safe Happy play environment where children can master their social skills to become well-rounded individuals. Celebrating together is an important part of what we do in the Junior Years. This takes on many forms: class liturgies whole College celebrations and weekly assemblies.

MIDDLE YEARS Year 6 - Year 9

The Middle Years refers to the traditional Year groups 6 to 9 and provides opportunities for young people to learn and grow in ways that acknowledge and respect this unique and special phase of their development. St Andrew’s aims to provide experiences that allow our students to develop their abilities to acquire information and make meaning through investigation and problem solving to become effective communicators and reflective learners. Students in the Middle Years have full access to purpose built specialist classrooms for Science material Arts visual Arts textiles music information Technology and Food Technology. The success of our Middle Years is embedded in the holistic journey of students from a culture of Junior to Middle to Senior Years where each phase concentrates on the needs of the students at that particular developmental stage. The advent of Middle Years allows us to incorporate the previously unaddressed issues of many young adolescents.

SENIOR YEARS Year 10 - Year 12

Senior schooling at St Andrew’s aims to develop communal leadership and service; it will prepare tomorrow’s leaders to develop flexibility of mind strength of character social skills and a sound belief system. It will provide the students with a clearly defined set of values and principles by which to lead their lives and a sense of service and giving. Through their involvement in the Catholic faith community students will be able to reach their full potential through the enhancement of their educational personal and spiritual dimensions. They and the communities in which they live and study are sustained and enriched by the life giving relationships that they develop. The curriculum of the Senior Years is one of intellectual and academic rigor independent of the chosen pathway selected by the student. The Senior Years curriculum is inclusive Holistic and relevant and aims to develop a love of life long learning. As well as the obvious priority of academic work during these years this is also a time when students become more aware that as older students in the College they have an increased responsibility to their peers and to the College as they accept more duties as Senior students.
